Chapter 703: Chapter Landscape Battle
Li Tong led the fleet to Zhangshan. I saw that the mountains on both sides of the bank were suddenly towering, the cliffs were steep, the vines were hanging down, and the moss was crawling all over. There were apes climbing and playing, and birds singing and singing. Mixed with the river surging, the water vapor is blowing on the face, but it is also a rare good scenery in the world.
It's just that Li Tong has no intention of appreciating it. Alarm paused in his heart. Because, it's about to turn around. Turning this bend, there is a relatively flat river channel, where the reeds are dense and the river beach is flat. To say that Cao Jun is not here to make ghosts. Li Tong 10,000 did not believe it.
At the same time that Li Tong ordered martial law for the three armies, he was also sneering in his heart, afraid that Cao Jun would not come, and he would come, so he told him to go around without food.
This will, Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang are indeed lurking in Jiangwan. These two, although they are not natives of Yangzhou, but since following Sun Ce, they have also practiced a good water nature in Wudi, and they are also very proficient in water warfare.
When the two arrived at Jingling, they smiled when they looked at the map. Yo, there are also good places like Zhangshan. The two of them came to investigate the terrain overnight, and they were so satisfied with the terrain here that they set up an ambush here. The first battle of the two of them against Cao must be off to a good start, and Cao Jun will scream.
Of course, they also thought that Cao Jun might be on guard. However, in such a geographical situation, no matter how prepared the enemy is, as long as there are ships passing through the river, they will always suffer. It depends on whether you suffer more or less.
Because of this river, when you get here, it will be calmed down, the water flow is not urgent, and the Cao army going down the river will have no advantage in speed. And they can act in secret. Wait for the enemy to wear themselves out. Why worry about big things?
Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang were indeed bothered. They planned to do so, to hide their troops here first, and if Cao Jun was on guard and acted rigorously, they would not come out. After they let their guard down, he led his army behind them and broke them in one fell swoop. At that time, the enemy is in front, and it is not possible to turn around and engage in battle, and they have the advantage of the water, and they are afraid that they will not win?
The idea is good. It's a pity that it was Li Tong who led the troops to come. Historically, this person is known for his cautious march and step-by-step march. On the way to relieve the siege of Cao Ren, he fought and walked, and when he encountered a deer, he would dismount and personally remove it. In the end, he fell ill and died on the way.
Now Li Tong is here with his troops. He was originally from Jiangxia, and he knew the environment inside out, so how could he not be guarded? Not only was he on guard, he was overguarded.
Therefore, when Li Tong led the fleet to appear in this river, he gave a very strange order. Let the stern of the big ship rush the small boat, and rush to the reeds by the river to set it on fire.
Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang saw the enemy appear, and their hearts were excited. Unfortunately, he didn't get excited for long, and he saw dozens of small boats sailing towards him like arrows. Pan Zhang's temperament was more anxious, and he immediately said: "The enemy has discovered us." So he drew his sword to get up.
Xu Sheng pulled down Pan Zhang and said, "Wen Qi, wait." If Cao Jun notices that you and I are here, how can it be a small boat? ”
Pan Zhang thought about it, so he knelt down again, seeing what these small boats were going to do. I thought that these small boats were here to act as scouts, and at most they would just release arrows into the reeds. Who would have thought that these bastards would use rockets, and they would start setting fire everywhere with torches.
After a while, there was a burst of green smoke in the reeds. Then the fire broke out all at once. Xu Sheng climbed faster than Pan Zhang: "Attack!" All the army is attacking! ”
Xu Shengtie's face was blue, he didn't know what was wrong, and he was seen by the enemy general. Make the enemy come up and start attacking with fire. This is a gift they have carefully prepared for Cao Jun!
Pan Zhang jumped up, beat the drum himself, and commanded the fleet to attack. Just kidding, in order to attack Cao Jun, they hid a lot of fire-causing things on the ship, which will not go out, and when it burns to their own ship, it will really be over.
Cao Jun on the boat was still a little impatient. It's not good to hurry up and fight Jingling, why do you come here and set it on fire? As soon as the fire was put out, the drums beat loudly in the grass, and then one after another the ships appeared before their eyes.
Cao Jun was taken aback, but he was also immediately convinced by Li Tong. The general is a true god and a man.
Li Tong actually didn't expect that such a big bomb was really hidden here. He just has dates and no dates. If there is an enemy, set it on fire, and it is better if there is no enemy, and burn this place clean. No matter how much the enemy wants to ambush, he can only ambush ashore.
As soon as the drums sounded, Li Tong laughed: "Order, turn around to meet the enemy!" He also sent someone to drive a small boat to the other side of the river to inform Cao Ren.
Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang led the fleet to kill the generals, and several large ships rushed into the water, first crushing Cao Jun's ship. Dozens of small boats didn't expect that there were really so many Yangzhou troops here, and they were unprepared for a while, but many of them were knocked over, and the rest, while rowing away from here, fired arrows at the enemy boat. Naturally, the Yangzhou army would not be idle, so the two sides began long-range strikes. Shoot arrows to hurt each other.
Pan Zhang was on the boat, and when he saw that the enemy ships had all turned around, and the golden drums were loud, he said to Xu Sheng: "Wen Xiang, this enemy general is only afraid that he has been prepared." In this case, it is estimated that you and I will not be able to please me, so it is better to save our troops and fight with them again under the city? ”
Xu Sheng thought for a while and said: "Let's try its means, and then set fire to the ship, if it doesn't work, let's go." ”
After the two discussed properly, they mobilized the boat and pounced on Cao Jun.
The small stone machines on the big ships on both sides began to fire cannons indiscriminately. Stones the size of cobbleballs flew in the air, and although they rarely hit people, they were full of threat. Hearing the strange howling, the soldiers on both sides all bowed their heads and lay down to avoid the rocks.
Nearby, on the river, more than 100 heads rushed, but they fought in a boat. The carefully selected warriors, carrying knives, stepped on the boat, smiling strangely, and rushed forward.
Before people get close, the murderous aura has already soared to the sky.
With a bang, the two boats collided, splashing countless waters. The soldiers on both sides staggered and did not have a stable foothold, but at the first time, they stabbed the knife in their hands at the enemy. Even the one who was holding the oars was also picking up the oarboard, shouting and scolding in his mouth, and smashing it indiscriminately.
Falling into the water, with superb water nature, in the water you pinch my throat, I stab you in the eye, suddenly, on the surface of the river, there are blood flowers.
Deep underwater, crocodiles, smelling blood, are also slowly approaching, obviously, this is a rare feast. On this river, the two armies fought fiercely. And Cao Ren on the river bank also received Li Tong's report for the first time.
Cao Ren looked up to the sky and laughed, looked around at the generals, and said: "The enemy is coming, all the generals, and follow me to defeat it!" ”
The generals rejoiced. In the rapid sound of drums, Cao Ren led his troops and galloped to help.
