Chapter 1070: An Ambush Only Requires a Thousand People

Rinkai-gun!

Two days have passed, and Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are still very excited.

Looking at the more than a hundred clay pots in front of them, they finally felt that they could fight with Zhao Jun.

Saltpeter and sulfur are things that have been determined in the time of Chaisang.

Although he retreated from Chaisang to Linhai, Sun Ce did not pull down the saltpeter sulfur collected.

And when he passed through Wujun Huiji, he was also collecting these two things all the time.

Now the third thing is only charcoal, and it is also less than saltpeter sulfur.

They made gunpowder, and there was no shortage of raw materials at all, only clay pots for gunpowder.

Now that people have made a hurry to fire, the firing of clay pots is still relatively simple, and it is not as expensive as porcelain, and it does not take much time.

"Bo Fu, although we have gunpowder now, there are only so many of them, and it is estimated that we still can't beat Zhao Jun." Zhou Yu said.

Gunpowder has been studied, but now it is far inferior to Zhao Jun.

Not only in terms of quantity, but also in the application of gunpowder by the soldiers below.

In the head-to-head duel, it is still difficult for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to take the advantage.

Therefore, if Zhou Yu wants to attack, he must block Zhao Yun halfway.

Only then will they have a chance of success.

"Gong Jin, where are you going to ambush?" Sun Ce said.

He is more sensitive to war than Zhou Yu.

Although Sun Ce is not as good as Zhou Yu in terms of wisdom, but in terms of intuition, Sun Ce is much stronger than Zhou Yu.

And his intuition, his judgment of war, is very accurate.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce looked at the map together.

In front of him, there is also a sand table.

The map is just flat, very simple, the river road is just a line, and the city is just a circle. Mountains or something are drawn in a row with several triangular tips.

There is nothing in the contour line, and it is completely incomparable to the map in Zhao Hui's hand.

However, the terrain on the sand table of the two is still more in line with the actual situation.

The mountains are all made of sand, and the woodlands are also planted with branches. At the same time, rivers are also rowed.

"This is the best place to ambush." Zhou Yu pointed to a col on the sand table.

Sun Ce nodded: "Indeed, if there is an ambush here, the Zhao army will not be able to escape." ”

But Zhou Yu shook his head again and said, "But I want to ambush Zhao Yun here." Zhou Yu's hand pointed to the other side.

It was the junction of a river and a mountain range.

And the terrain is flat, it is a rocky beach on one side, and there are only a few boulders, which are almost unobstructed at a glance.

It's very difficult to ambush here. There was simply no place for the soldiers to hide.

Zhou Yu said: "Zhao Jun has always been very cautious, Cao Cao and Liu Bei also ambushed many times, but they couldn't get a bargain. ”

"We know that this place is easy to ambush, and Zhao Yun will also be very careful, although this is the best ambush spot, but Zhao Jun will also easily find us, and we will still not be able to ambush them at that time."

"Gong Jin has a point." Sun Ce agrees.

It is not that the Zhao army has not been ambushed, but it has never been completely defeated because of being ambushed.

The most serious one was when Cao Cao and Zhao Hui fought in Guandu Baima.

First, Dian Wei was ambushed by Li Dian Cao Xiu Lejin.

But the result was that Li Dian was killed by Dian Wei.

Later, Cao Cao retreated from Guandu, and Zhao Hui pursued and killed, but he was also ambushed.

But in the end, Zhao Jun won.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu wanted to ambush the Zhao army, even if Zhao Hui didn't come this time, it was only Zhao Yun who commanded him.

But they also have to prepare with all their might, and they must not be careless at all.

Sun Ce said: "But this shallow rocky beach, it is too difficult to hide soldiers, Gongjin, do you have a way?" ”

It's really too difficult to ambush on the shallow rocky beach.

However, only a few boulders can be slightly blocked, and at most dozens of people are hiding.

Use dozens of people to ambush the 50,000 army led by Zhao Yun?

If this can be successful, Sun Ce will not need to ambush, just send a team of scouts and directly attack the Zhao army.

The Zhao army is not a rabble, but the most elite army of the Han Dynasty today.

Zhou Yu said: "Hide here." ”

"This is the river, how to hide?" Sun Ce asked.

Although the current at the shallow rocky beach is relatively gentle, it is also a horizontal line with the shore, and as long as you stand on the shore, you can see everything in the river.

Unless they don't have to breathe and hide in the water all the time.

If you want to breathe with a hollow reed pole, you will be easily noticed.

There are so many reed poles on the surface of the water, and there are no reeds around, if you pay attention, you will guess that there are people hidden underwater.

Zhou Yu said: "We are hiding on the other side of the river. ”

Sun Ce said: "But ......"

"You mean, on the other side of the river, directly bombard the Zhao army with gunpowder?"

"That's right." Zhou Yu said: "Zhao Jun will definitely send a lot of spies to explore the surroundings, but they would never have imagined that we would cross the river." ”

The river Zhou Yu refers to is also a tributary of the Yangtze River, which runs from west to east, and is in the north of Linhai County.

The river meanders between Linhae-gun and Huiji-gun.

According to common sense, since Sun Ce and Zhou Yu retreated to Linhai, it was absolutely impossible to cross the river in the north.

And at this time, Zhao Yun's army had also crossed the river from the wooden bridge in the east.

At this time, Zhao Jun's spies were mainly searching the area south of the river and north of Linhai County.

I don't pay much attention to the south of Linhai County, and I ignore the north side of the river.

"It's really a good plan, Zhao Jun will definitely not find out." Sun Ce said excitedly.

As long as they defeat Zhao Yun this time, they will be able to boost morale and even slow down Zhao Hui's difficult advance.

"I'll arrange it, how many people do you need?" Sun Ce said.

No matter how many people Zhou Yu wants, as long as he can defeat Zhao Yun, it doesn't matter if Sun Ce gives all his troops to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu shook his head: "You don't need too many people." ”

Although it is ambushed on the other side of the river, it is easy to be exposed by many people.

Sun Ce said: "Then I'll give you 10,000." ”

Zhou Yu shook his head again: "It's too much." ”

Sun Ce now has only 50,000 people in his hands, and Zhao Yun also has 50,000 people in his hands.

Normally, he gives 10,000 people, and he feels that it is less.

In other generals, it would take more than 20,000 people to ensure a successful ambush of the enemy.

But Zhou Yu still says too much now.

"Gong Jin, 10,000 people are not many, here in Linhai, you don't need to worry, the main purpose now is to defeat Zhao Yun." Sun Ce said.

Zhou Yu said: "Ten thousand people is indeed too many, I only need one thousand." ”

"A thousand, no, that's too little." Sun Ce shook his head.

How can a thousand people defeat 50,000 enemy troops?

Sun Ce was not only worried about the failure of Zhou Yu's ambush, but also worried about Zhou Yu's safety.

A thousand people can't guarantee Zhou Yu's safety at all.

What's more, Zhao Yun is still an invincible general.

In Sun Ce's hands, no one would be Zhao Yun's opponent.
