Chapter 110 Burning Wulin, Fighting Red Cliffs (Middle)

Fighting on the battlefield, the tactics are ever-changing, including frontal attack, flank outflanking, clever ambush, and deception to lure the enemy...... One of the most tests of skills is the sneak attack in the middle of the night, and the emphasis is: 'Silence is like a ghost, and the secret sends impermanence to death without knowing!' ’

In order to conceal his whereabouts, twenty miles away from the Wulin camp, Zhou Yu ordered the fleet to extinguish the lights and move forward in the dark.

The camp of the Jingzhou Navy is located in a gourd-shaped port, which is next to the land on three sides, and a large number of barriers, warehouses, and docks have been built...... On one side is a narrow waterway, about 200 zhang wide, with three protective fences and six strong water gates for ships to enter and exit!

The materials used to build the fence are all logs seven or eight zhang long and thick and thick, and after one end is sharpened, it is smashed into the layer of sediment with a heavy hammer, and then the iron chain with the thickness of the arm is connected one by one - as solid as a rock, and the wind and waves are indestructible!

On top of the six giant water gates, there are also lookouts, and there are Jingzhou naval troops stationed on them - holding torches, patrolling back and forth, the figures have never stopped, once the enemy is discovered, they will light fireworks and send an alarm to the water village!

On the high ground near the water village, there is also a beacon tower, and soldiers are sent to garrison it day and night, if the enemy sneaks up from the land, it is the same as smoking during the day and igniting it late at night, and the beacon tower is very dense, and there is no dead end left!

I have to admit that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have poor character, but they have lived in Jingzhou for a long time and are proficient in the method of water warfare, at least this water village is built - both offensive and defensive, and invulnerable, which is also the reason why Xiao Yi takes care of it everywhere, two useful villains, better than a group of useless gentlemen!

However, there are more strong players in the strong, a mountain is higher than a mountain, if Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are masters in the water, Zhou Yu is the reincarnation of the Dragon King, since he dares to come to a sneak attack in the middle of the night, he is naturally fully prepared!

"Whoosh! --Sou! Sou! ”

More than 200 'water ghosts' dispatched, under the cover of dark night, along the flowing Yangtze River water, slowly approached the Jingzhou Water Village, and then took a reed pipe in their mouths, lurked under the water surface, and firmly entangled the giant wooden fence.

The 'water ghosts' carried wooden hammers, iron chisels, hacksaws...... Lurking beneath the surface of the water, they quickly broke down the wooden fence, and with great care, when a wave came in, they struck it a few times to silence the sound.

When the waves receded, they lurked and did not move, relying on the reed pipe to breathe, so the Jingzhou Navy patrolled back and forth, and they couldn't imagine that under the water, someone was secretly destroying the water village!

After more than half an hour, the 'water ghosts' completed their task, and the underwater part of the wooden fence was scattered, and it looked fine on the surface, but as soon as the ship came and hit, it would suddenly fall apart......

Then taking advantage of the waves to retreat, the 'water ghosts' threw away their tools and swam desperately to the fleet, Zhou Yu also sent more than a dozen small boats to meet these heroes, but more than 200 water ghosts were dispatched, and only more than 30 people came back smoothly, and the rest were either washed away by the waves - without a trace, or exhausted from swimming - sank into the river!

The 'water ghost' was originally the elite of Jiangdong, and he had also made a lot of military achievements, but in the previous few water battles, Xiao Yi's 'quicklime' tactics were boiled to death, and nearly 200 people were lost tonight, which can be said to be completely damaged, and if you want to recover, I'm afraid it will take some time!

Next, it was a real knife and real gun fight, Gan Ning led a hundred ships, all of which were strong and good at fighting, and went straight to the destruction of the water village, preparing to break through from there and open up a road for the army!

"Enemy attack! - Enemy attack! --Hurry up and release the arrows--Light the beacon fire! ”

…………………………

Gan Ning and the others were doubly careful, but hundreds of ships rushed over, it was impossible not to show their traces, after the Jingzhou Navy discovered the enemy's situation, they lit the beacon fire and issued an alarm to the surroundings, while using strong bows and crossbows to shoot the approaching enemy ships!

The giant crossbow operated by five people can fire three arrows at a time, all of which are one zhang long and short, the thickness of a child's arm, and the range can reach more than 100 zhang.

I saw that wherever the arrow rain went, the Jiangdong army fell one by one - the corpses were floating on the water, the blood stained the river red, and the boats also sank a lot, but most of the soldiers under the command of Gan Ning were born as water thieves, and they were not afraid of death, and they still charged against the rain of arrows, and even the people who fell into the water also paddled forward desperately......

"Long! Prosperous! --Click! --Kill! ”

Rushing to the vicinity of the water village, the Jiangdong Navy Army shot the Jingzhou army above with bows and arrows, and at the same time slammed the fence with the strongest bow of the ship, and soon made a big hole of twenty or thirty zhang, and then swarmed in, killing people everywhere and setting fire!

The main force of the Jingzhou Navy is besieging the mouth of the three rivers, there are not many people and horses left, and in the middle of the night, it is inevitable to panic, and there is no power to fight back, and the three lines of defense and the six water gates have been lost!

At the same time: Zhou Tai and Pan Zhang, who led more than 200 large ships, also rushed into the water village and wantonly slashed and killed the Jingzhou naval army, while Zhou Yu led the main force, but stayed at the entrance of the water village and did not participate in the battle for a long time!

As the saying goes: 'Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope', in the past confrontations, Zhou Yu always suffered Xiao Yi's losses, or lost his troops, or suffered words, which has left a shadow in his heart!

Don't look at the sneak attack went smoothly, the soldiers were killed in the water village, but Zhou Yu's heart was still full of vigilance, for fear that it would be Xiao Yi's conspiracy again, and set a big trap for himself, so before the battle situation was clear, he didn't dare to throw the main force into it!

"Could it be that the invincible ghost-faced Xiao Lang is really exhausted this time...... Or was Bo Fu blessed by the spirit of heaven and let me lock in the victory in one fell swoop?

Ordered several generals Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Pan Zhang, to take Shuizhai in one go, and then send people to Luzhai to persuade the defenders inside to surrender, as long as they turn against and unload their armor, the governor of this capital will not be killed! ”

…………………………

Facts have proved that Zhou Yu was a little too worried, the attack was unusually smooth, and it only took more than an hour to basically occupy the key points of Shuizhai, and the Jingzhou Navy Army was either dead or surrendered, and there was no strength to fight back at all!

The surrounding waterways and reeds have also been searched, and not a single ambush soldier has been seen, but there are some soldiers and horses in the land village, but those people are not used to water warfare, and they can't come to support at all, they just shout indiscriminately!

At this point, Zhou Yu was relieved for six or seven points, put the main force into the battlefield, rapidly expanded the results, and at the same time sent people to land on the beach and peek into the land camp of Wulin, but he was not in a hurry to attack!

On the one hand, the Cao army was stationed in Ulin for more than half a year, and the camp was impregnable, and the Jiangdong army was not good at foot combat, and if it was forcibly attacked, the men and horses would inevitably suffer heavy casualties!

On the other hand, millions of ordnance and materials are hoarded in Luzhai, if the defenders are forced to be urgent, put a fire and burn it clean, wouldn't it be a chicken and an egg?

Therefore, Zhou Yu sent men and horses to land, besieged Luzhai but did not attack, causing a kind of psychological coercion, and sent eloquent people to enter the camp to persuade the defenders to surrender, and offered extremely generous conditions!

According to the information: Xiao Yi brought all the people who could recruit and fight well to attack Sanjiangkou, and most of the people left behind were the old, weak, sick and disabled, and Jia Xu, who was sitting in Luzhai, was even more of a guy with no fame, no official position, and no merit, and he didn't have any skills!

According to past experience, dealing with this kind of 'three nos' personnel, while intimidating by force and buying with wealth and wealth, you can be invincible, and the facts have proved that Zhou Yu 'guessed right' again this time! ’

"Qiyu Metropolitan Governor: In the face of my invincible military might, Jia Xu trembled with fright, and expressed his willingness to surrender the camp, but he was worried about his own life and asked the Metropolitan Governor to write a letter of guarantee, so that he could rest assured!

The subordinates secretly observed that there were only more than 10,000 people and horses in the camp, and there were no other ambushes, but there were mountains of ordnance, grain and grass, and there were many nest cars, crashes, and thunderbolts, all of which were big killers in land warfare! ”

The envoy ran back with a smile on his face, and reported the results of the negotiation after he entered the camp, as well as the situation of the investigation!

After listening to the report, Zhou Yu's hanging heart let go a little more, and immediately took a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote a 'guarantee' by hand: as long as Jia Xu surrenders to the camp, not only will his life be worry-free, but he will also be a high-ranking official and a wife!

Cao Jun was able to sweep the Central Plains, in addition to the wise commanders and brave soldiers, the excellent ordnance is also one of the reasons, especially the rhubarb crossbow, thunderbolt car, and thistle...... These things play a huge role on the battlefield and have the power to turn things around!

These battlefield killing weapons, some were invented by Xiao Yi, and some were developed by the Zhengming Academy, a total of dozens of kinds, and the princes of the Quartet were all red-eyed, and they all seemed to get some out and equip their own people and horses!

However, Cao Ying's defense was extremely strict, not to mention the ordnance manufacturing drawings, not a single part or nail was leaked, and the princes tried their best to send people to steal and buy them with a lot of money, but the interest rate of success was very small, and occasionally a few parts could not be assembled into a killing weapon!

As for the battlefield, when Cao's army encountered an unfavorable situation, the first thing he did was to smash the ordnance, because the military law stipulated: 'If an important ordnance falls into the hands of the enemy, no matter how the battlefield is won or lost, the main general will be severely punished and the soldiers will be beheaded!'" ’

This time the Cao army retreated in embarrassment, although a lot of ordnance was destroyed, but there were not a few left, if the Jiangdong army got it in its hands and let the skilled craftsmen imitate it, the ability to attack the city by land will inevitably advance by leaps and bounds, and the Northern Expedition will also be great in the future!

Therefore, Zhou Yu wrote a good letter, asked the envoy to enter the camp for the second time to persuade him to surrender, and sent Jiang Qin and Ding Feng to lead a group of men and horses to gather in front of the Luzhai camp, ready to enter the camp to receive ordnance and collect the surrendered troops inside!

At the same time, seeing the fire in the Wulin camp, Xiao Yi, who was besieging the mouth of the Sanjiang River, came back to the rescue with all his men and horses, and the huge fleet went upstream, and the lights shone on both sides of the Yangtze River............
