Chapter 750
Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin led their troops to the territory of Qichun, chose a place to hide, and sent scouts to pretend to be fishermen, only fishing by the river every day, and probing the movements of the Wu army. On this day, Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin were sitting in the tent talking, and suddenly the scout came to report: "General, the Wu army fleet has entered the territory of Qichun. ”
Xiahou Yuanteng stood up immediately, and after asking about the size and flag of the fleet, he looked at Le Jin and said, "Wen Qian, Sun Ce is here." ”
Le Jin threw the chess pieces in his hand, stood up and said with a smile: "In this case, you and I will go together to welcome the lord of Jiangdong." ”
Xiahou Yuan didn't care on the surface, and didn't seem to take Sun Ce in his eyes, but in fact, he was extremely cautious in his heart. The same goes for Lejin. In terms of qualifications and seniority, they and Sun Jian are of the same generation, and they can be regarded as Sun Ce's elders. And they were also killed in the sea of corpses and blood all their lives. They could despise Sun Ce's age and battlefield experience, but they had to respect Sun Ce's status and ability.
Now the two of them are fighting a small one, or a sneak attack. If you lose the battle and this spreads, won't it be a laugh for the world? Before coming, Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin decided that since they want to fight, they must fight beautifully, and they must win!
Seeing the territory of Qi Chun, Sun Quan asked Chen Wu if he wanted to inform Qi Chunling. Chen Wu looked at the sky and said, "It's not early, go ten miles further, and then rest on the shore." However, the military situation is urgent, so there is no need to inform the locality. Early tomorrow morning, I will immediately set sail and rush to Xiakou. ”
Chen Wu is a pure military general, and he doesn't like to socialize with local officials. Anyway, he is not in the Qichun garrison, he is just transiting, why should he alarm so many people. After the order was given, the speed of the fleet gradually slowed down. More than a dozen ships were laid down on the big ship, and there were scouts standing on it, and they took the lead in the boats to reconnoiter the terrain.
In the distance, seeing the Chong, the scouts of the Cao army here were about to retreat. They are all engaged in reconnaissance work, no matter how similar this fisherman is, the smell on his body can't hide Wu Jun's nose. Knowing that it was the elite of the Wu army commanded by Sun Ce, the scouts of the Cao army did not dare to slack off, so they could only choose to retreat.
Wu Jun did not find Cao Jun's scouts, and after searching the river and the riverbank, he sent people back to report the news and deliver a signal of safety. Soon after, the huge fleet slowly approached a camp carefully chosen by the Wu scouts. The water here is slow and deep, and there is a very high river cliff in front of it, which is very resistant to the blowing of the river wind. And on the shore, beyond a tidal flat, there is a flat, dry ground. What a great place to camp.
Chen Wu and Dong Xi looked at the terrain and were also very satisfied. If the enemy comes, the enemy will come up from the river, and in addition to water battles, they can calmly board the land to fight. The enemy came from the land, and the antlers and tunnels they set up all over the land were the biggest obstacles to the march. When the enemy is blocked, the long-range strike weapons on the ship can teach the enemy to learn to be a man again in minutes.
What if the enemy comes from both land and water? Ahahahaha, what a joke. Does Jiangxia's Cao army have so many troops now? I have 20,000 soldiers here, plus auxiliaries and people, countless of them. Not to mention that there are still defensive lines of Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and others ahead. Even if Cao Jun can get past Zhou Yu's defense line, how many people can get here?
Therefore, Chen Wu and Dong attacked without considering the possibility of an enemy attack at all. In their opinion, this is completely impossible to have a chance of winning, how could Cao Jun hit a stone with an egg? Of course, there is also the possibility that a small number of Cao Jun will come to harass them in order to delay their trip. This is entirely possible, after all, the movement of tens of thousands of horses, to say that Cao Jun does not know the news, Chen Wu and Dong Xi are the first to believe it. But what role can this small group of people play?
Chen Wu and Dong Xi were not wrong. With their military qualities, the conjectures they made were completely correct. But they just miss one thing. It's that they are playing the banner of Sun Ce. They spent time with Sun Quan day and night on the boat, and they almost forgot about it. Sun Ce and Sun Quan are not the same. Although these two are brothers, in Xiahou Yuan's eyes, the unknown Sun Quan is more than 108,000 miles worse than Sun Ce, who is in charge of one side.
Therefore, the enemy is really coming, and it is not a small Cao army that is coming. It was Cao Jun, who was pouring out of the nest. In the camp, Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin were discussing a strategy.
It was winter, and the north wind was in full swing. Le Jin boldly put forward a strategy: "Attack the enemy's camp from the land with elites to attract the enemy's combat power." Then the misty rush filled with the things that ignited the fire, went down the river, and swooped down the enemy ship, taking advantage of the north wind, to attack it with fire. The enemy will be in chaos. ”
Xiahou Yuan's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he stroked his palms and laughed: "In this way, you and I can take Sun Ce's head among the ten thousand armies." ”
The plan has been decided, and Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin competed for the main task. Everyone knows how dangerous it is to lead his troops to attack the Wu army from the land in order to attract the firepower of the Wu army, and with a brave general like Sun Ce, maybe one of them will not be able to come back. The more this is the case, the more the two refuse to give in.
In the end, the two looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Since this is the case, it is better to go." "It is impossible for Sun Ce to come alone, there must be a guard general by his side. It's hard enough for them to cope with it alone, so it's better to go with both of them. The two generals of the Cao Army are enough for Sun Ce to deal with it with peace of mind, right?
The two generals led their troops to attack together and were responsible for killing people. Then the task of setting fire was given to the deputy general Wu Zhou. Wu Zhou, the word Boran, a native of Peiguo Zhuyi, a small fellow of Xiahou Yuan, can be literary and martial, and he is also the queen of the official eunuch. The most important thing is that Wu Zhou also has a good water nature. It couldn't be better to set fire to a boat.
So after having dinner, Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin led the three armies to set off. In the original camp, it was suddenly empty, and only Wu Zhou led 2,000 superb soldiers here. They will also set off later, and when the fighting between us and the enemy is the fiercest and the blood is flowing, they will appear and bury the hope of the Wu army with their own hands.
Wu Zhou watched the two generals go away, and his heart was extremely agitated. If this battle can be successful, it will completely change the pattern of Jingzhou. The military power of the enemy and the enemy will become unbalanced. And Sun Ce, who suffered the defeat, will have a huge impact on Jingzhou. Even the lord of Jiangdong was defeated, what hope and opportunity did the Wu army have to capture Jingzhou? No matter what Wu Jun thinks, Cao Jun will definitely be full of confidence. This increase in morale is enough for the enemy to scramble. You still want Jingzhou, do you dream?
When it was almost dark, Wu's army had already established a solid defensive line on the river beach. Although this is a temporary station, Chen Wu and Dong Xi are also meticulous. Who would joke with their own lives, not to mention that there is a Sun Quan here, they dare not take it lightly.
At this time, Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin's soldiers and horses were also about to arrive. Although they were already planning to come hard, they didn't want to swagger out, which would make the Wu army enter a wartime state in advance. If you can sneak attack, it's good to sneak attack, anyway, it's a matter of harming others and benefiting yourself, so why not do it.
The danger was approaching, and Wu Jun was still unaware.
