Chapter 160: Attack

About the third watch on the 12th, Tian Xin was fully armed, with a copper sword box horizontally behind his waist, and a bell brocade belt in front of his waist, still three on the left and four on the right.

He fed Mondo and the White Rabbit in the stable, and the White Rabbit also occupied a place in the pro-soldiers, and he had a talent for walking, and after blessing the talent of iron bones, his body grew stronger and stronger.

Two horses, one white and one black, are in the same stable, eating a specially dried feed of dried green wheat mixed with soybean feed.

The soft drums beat from time to time throughout the camp, and the officials and soldiers of each battalion were already packing up their uniforms and concentrating on eating.

This battle is not easy to fight, and the more famous you are, the more the other party will limit yourself.

Wei asked Yu Ban and Dian Man to train halberd shield bearers, spearmen, and strong crossbowmen to restrain themselves, and even took out Niu Jin and Wang Shuang's 3,000 horsemen to tempt him to fight.

Fortunately, during the first battle of Wankou, there was a lack of an army on their side, if there was an army guarding the east of Yongdao and could block the invasion of Changdiao's department, then they would really go to eat Niu Jin and Wang Shuang's three thousand horsemen.

These 3,000 horsemen can get half of the usable war horses after the war, which is also very profitable.

The Wei army was prepared for restriction and restraint, and the Wu army would also be prepared.

Therefore, it is necessary to avoid fighting a dull battle, in such a battle, the elite squad prepared by the Wu army will definitely give itself a big surprise.

Not to mention these people who have been in turmoil for decades, even they can come up with many tactics to restrain themselves.

Therefore, after this war, I should avoid taking the lead.

Fight with a normal army, force the enemy's bottom line out, let the opponent lose his hole cards and room for rotation, and then attack again, and make a final decision.

Hammer anvil tactics, preemptive strikes?

While thinking about it, Tian Ji, Yu Zhong and others followed, except for Yu Zhong who followed the battle with leather armor, the rest were all armor, and if there was a land battle, they would wear iron armor to participate in the battle.

Seeing them follow, Tian Xin said: "There are Huang Gongheng, Tian Guorang, and Wen Zhongye on the south bank of our army. What I am concerned about is on the north shore, one is the rear army of Huang Hansheng and Li Zhengfang, and the other is the camp of His Majesty's Chinese army. If Zhang Liao attacks, he must hold the camp tightly and not move rashly. After I and the general come back to help, we will work together to defeat the thief. ”

Tian Ji arched his hand: "What should I do if the Chinese army asks for help and messengers arrive?" ”

"Neither shall it be moved."

Tian Xin didn't think about it, and his attitude was clear: "Your Majesty has 30,000 elite Chinese troops, and on the south bank of the Han River, Zhang Liao and Pan Zhang are attacking for 200 miles, how can you force the Han River?" And our army is prestigious, our army does not move in the camp, whether it is the Wei army or the Wu army, they do not dare to invade the middle army or the rear army with all their might, and they will leave soldiers and horses to monitor our army. ”

"If you go out of the camp, you will be attacked by it with all your might, which will not benefit the overall situation, and the gains will outweigh the losses."

instructed the private soldiers, Tian Xin came to the big tent.

Guan Yu here also just woke up, and when he saw Tian Xin's appearance, he smiled: "I can only fight the thief before noon today, why should I be in a hurry?" ”

"The battle is imminent, and the armor is in the body and the heart is steady."

Tian Xin sat casually on the table with his body in armor: "I still can't understand how Zhang Wenyuan, Pan Zhang and others attacked the Chinese army camp. Even if there are traitors in our army, but those in charge of the army are all close to the old ministers, and the officials are all dedicated to death, how can there be changes? Zhang Wenyuan was unable to force the Han River, so what did he do again? ”

Liu Bei's camp is very strong, only the Chinese army camp has fifteen barracks, the big camp is in the middle, there are two circles inside and outside, these camps are connected by Yongdao, and dig trenches to divert water into it.

Even if Zhang Liao had warships to assist him in forcibly crossing, he still had to defeat the soldiers and horses of Feng Xi's 10th battalion on the north bank; If there are warships to help transport troops across the river, the 10,000 people in the hands of the upstream auxiliary Kuang are not straw men, and it is not difficult to set fire to the boats and burn the pontoon bridges.

No matter how unbearable Feng Xi is, it is also tempered by the Battle of Yizhou and the two Hanzhong Battles.

Fu Kuang is the protector, and the master of this 10,000 people will be Chen Shi, which is also a brave general killed in the sea of corpses and blood; Liu Bei's headquarters is the elite of the elite, what does Zhang Liao use to fight?

Tian Xin couldn't understand that Pan, the only one suspected of being a thief, was stared to death by Guan Yu, but the suspicion of a thief was ruled out.

In addition to Pan, it is not Pan's pro-party or the old department, so who is the traffic information with Sun Quan?

What Tian Xin was puzzled about was also what Guan Yu was puzzled about, and Liu Bei was also puzzled by this question, and he really couldn't find a suspect.

Just like Sun Quan couldn't find a suspect for a while, and he was defeated, he began to counterattack and shirk the responsibility for the defeat.

There was no discussion, and as Guan Yu dined, the army boarded the ship at the fourth watch and lined up in an array during the march.

Almost at the same time, Zhao Lei's Jiangzhu Water Village camp began to release oil rafts.

The pontoons of the boats that blocked the oil rafts were scattered, and the sergeants on these small boats drifted downstream with the oil rafts.

There are so many rafts that it is impossible to tow them in an orderly manner, so they can only be stirred up with long poles to avoid silting on the shore or washing up on the shore.

On the fifth watch, Hu Ban sailors dispatched small boats to assist Zhao Lei's sailors to guide the oil rafts, about 150,000 oil rafts were connected to each other, six or seven miles wide, and two or three miles long to float downstream.

The small boats of the Han army formed three lines, with oil rafts on both sides to prevent docking, and a line in the middle divided the oil rafts into left and right roads.

Raise the mouth, the Zhou Tai water division station, the Zhou Tai water division avoided the mouth of the water village, watching the oil raft pass through the mouth was ignited by the Han army, the Han army went north, the second burning oil raft is still floating downstream, the river is burned into a sea of fire, thick smoke billowing.

To the east of the mouth, the Yangtze River turns from east to south, there are two pieces of Jiangzhu, the first is Jiang Qinshui Shi Dazhai, the same as Zhao Lei, Jiang Qinshui Village is built between Jiangzhu and the north bank, only a small number of burning oil rafts float to the water village, more oil rafts or hit the north bank of the bend of the river, or hit the second Jiangzhu.

The second piece of Jiangzhu is an infantry camp, guarded by Zhou Yu's eldest son Zhou Yin, and at this moment the burning oil rafts are all over the northwest of Jiangzhu, or around Jiangzhu from both sides to the southeast, and the entire Jiangzhu garrison is obscured from sight, losing the banner communication with both sides of the strait.

Under the impact of oil rafts, large and small ships did not dare to cross the river to give orders, and the smoke obscured them and made it impossible to see the flags.

As the oil raft collided with Zhou Yin's camp, the Han army's naval division battleships finally arrived at Jukou, the large and small battleships and boats were divided into two, Zhao Lei led the division to the downstream Jiang Qin Water Village, Guan Yu blocked the mouth and waited for Zhou Tai.

Jukou leads to the lake in the north, the northwest of the lake is Li Yan Daying, the north of the lake is Jiangxia Handang Daying, and the northeast of the lake is Xu Sheng's station.

Therefore, all the reeds around the lake that could be harvested had been harvested, and Li Yan also used a small boat to guide the oil raft to burn the Wu army's warship, and Xu Sheng came to intercept it.

In the lake, the sergeants on both sides either stepped on bamboo rafts or walked in fishing boats, rushing back and forth without giving an inch.

Li Yan's oil rafts were very important, enough to make Zhou Tai's guards difficult to take care of.

But Xu Sheng personally led his troops to fight with 10,000 people, and the troops were strong, and he killed and dispersed Li Yan's other troops in a short time, and the oil raft that Li Yan placed before and after burned in the lake, and suspended with the dead officers and wounded soldiers of the two armies.

Seeing that Li Yan's oil raft was ignited halfway, Zhou Tai went out to fight with peace of mind, and the sailors of the department raised their mouths with great might.

At this time, the gradually extinguished oil raft was passing in front of Sun Quan's camp in Laishan, Sun Quan set up an earthen platform on Laishan, and the curtain was waving three flags, leading the generals and close ministers to watch the battle.

Nearly 20,000 people from Sun Quan's headquarters in the camp and the Wei army's former Jingzhou Dunsai water division went up the river.
