238 Jiangdong Tigers
In mid-April, both sides of the Yangtze River were verdant.
The north and south of the river, peach and willow green.
A group of egrets are leisurely playing in the water on the river, basking in the warm sun, wantonly catching the fish that are exposed to the water and breathing, and then shaking their slender necks to feast.
Suddenly, an egret, sensing danger, let out a frightened warning and fluttered its wings into the sky. The egrets, which were still leisurely, suddenly became a mess, fluttering their wings and sweeping towards the sky.
Dense warships descended the river from the upstream, covering the sky like dark clouds crushing the city.
The full mast sail was smooth and windy, and the speed was fast and fast. There are many swords and guns on the side of the ship, dazzling under the illumination of the river, and the various colored flags fluttering in the wind are hunting and hunting, and the momentum is huge.
With a "whoosh", the arrows that left the string flew towards the sky with the sound of breaking through the sky.
"Quack ......"
An unfortunate egret was impaled through its body by a lightning-fast feathered arrow, let out a wail, and quickly fell towards the river.
"Poof" fell into the river, and floated away at a high speed as soon as he turned downstream.
"Haha...... Chen Zilie, how is this archery? ”
Zhang Dingbian collected the bow and arrow on the deck of the ship, laughed proudly, and asked Chen Wu beside him proudly.
The bow is a strong bow of three stones, and ordinary people can't pull it at all. Zhang Dingbian not only pulled away, but also shot an egret at a distance of more than 200 zhang, this shooting skill is indeed something to be proud of.
Chen Wu, who was standing next to him, had sallow skin and a slightly yellow beard. The eyes are red and have a strange appearance. Seeing Zhang Dingbian's archery, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise: "General Zhang is really a god!" Your archery skills are only afraid that Xue Rengui will bow down when he comes! ”
"Haha......"
Zhang Dingbian pressed the waist knife with his hand. Stroking his beard with one hand, he laughed loudly: "Then Xue Li killed Dong Zhuo with an arrow and made a great reputation, I really want to meet him for a while!" ”
"Brother Dingbian don't need to worry, we will attack Jinling this time, and we will inevitably force the Jiangdong army to rush back to help, and then you will have the opportunity to fight Xue Li." Chen Wu held a ghost head knife. Said expectantly.
Zhang Dingbian put his hands behind his back and ordered loudly: "Pass my order." Speed up the boat and strive to arrive at the Chaisang Han Army Water Village before dark! ”
Zhang Dingbian's vanguard team had three ships, each carrying 700 people; Eleven fighting ships, each with 300 people. Thirty ships. There are 150 people per boat, and there are more than 50 walkers, and there are about 30 people on each boat.
And that's just counting the number of sailors, not the requisitioned boatmen. There were nearly 100 large and small ships, and more than 11,000 soldiers, forming a huge battle team.
The main army under the personal command of Sun Jian sailed at a distance of about 80 miles from Zhang Dingbian's vanguard team, and the total number of various warships exceeded 300. On the surface of the river, it flows down the river like a school of fish.
The sails cover the sky and the sun, which is magnificent and even more powerful.
Surrounded by the stars and the moon in the middle is Sun Jian's handsome ship. The huge "Sun" banner on the bow of the ship was waving in the wind. Sun Jian was dressed in a military uniform, with a sword hanging from his waist, standing on the bow of the ship with great ambition, and raised his eyes from time to time to look at the Jiangxia city wall.
And Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu, who was standing at the head of the city, was also looking at Sun Jian, the river and the city were separated by three miles, and they couldn't see each other's faces clearly. But you can feel the other party's eyes.
Jiangxia City is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the southern city wall is built directly to the river. It is convenient for boats to launch into the river.
At this moment, 20,000 defenders climbed the city wall, and they all controlled the strings and arrows, and waited for the battle. The other 10,000 people were all on board the ship and stood by, and it all depended on Huang Zu's words.
Zhou Yu, Sun Ce, Huang Gai, Zu Mao and other generals followed behind Sun Jian, and Zhou Yu was faintly uneasy about such a smooth passage to the mouth of the Jiangxia Sanjiang.
He bowed his hand to Sun Jianjian and said: "Since the battle for Jingnan, our army has a deep enmity with Liu Biao. Huang Zu held 30,000 armor soldiers in his hand, dominating the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, but politely sent us across the river. Such a strange behavior, you need to be careful! ”
Sun Jian frowned slightly, slightly dissatisfied with Zhou Yu's caution, "With Gongjin's intentions, how about it?" ”
"In Yu's opinion, we should attack Jiangxia first. When to break Huang Zu, when to go east to attack Wu ......" Although he sensed Sun Jian's dissatisfaction, Zhou Yu still gave frank advice.
Sun Jian snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves: "Hmph...... It seems that Gong Jin is still obsessed with capturing the three counties of Jingbei! Compared to the whole Jiangdong, Jingbei is not worth mentioning! Our army has been preparing for nearly a month, and this trip is bound to be won, if the use of troops is delayed in Jiangxia, Liu Wei would have already returned to Jinling, what else to talk about to attack Wu? ”
Sun Ce saw that the atmosphere was a little discordant, and reached out and patted Zhou Yu's shoulder: "Gongjin, don't worry, half a month ago, my father sent a letter to Huang Zu and gave him a heavy gift, telling him to use the Tao to defeat Wu. Huang Zu agreed, don't you see that Zhang Xianxian's fleet passed unharmed? ”
The river wind blew the yellow and white beard trembling in the wind, stroked the sword, and smiled disdainfully: "The little doll has never experienced the war, and does not understand the truth that the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again!" Liu Wei went north, and the rear air defense was weak, this was the only chance for the lord to take Jiangdong. If Liu Wei pacified Qingzhou and wrapped Tao Qian of Xuzhou in the middle, the entire Dongfang would become an iron plate, and at that time, the lord would no longer have the opportunity to reign in his homeland! ”
"Huang Zu has no guts and rats, roe head rats, how dare he dare to stop the lord's army? Our army is coming with the momentum of Mount Tai, and he Huang Zu dares not to retreat? ”
Zu Mao also laughed and echoed Huang Gai, stretched out his hand and patted Zhou Yu's shoulder heavily, "Young man, learn more from the lord, the name of the Jiangdong Tiger is not obtained out of thin air, the doorways you read from the war book are just Zhao Kuo's paper talk!" ”
"Haha......"
Listening to the ridicule of Huang Gai and Zu Mao and other old qualifications, the group of generals behind laughed even more. There was a lot of contempt for Zhou Yu in his expression.
Zhou Yu's face was as pale as water, and he was silent. Turning a deaf ear to the ridicule.
Sun Jian took off the saber at his waist, put it on the deck with the scabbard, and ordered in a loud voice: "Pass on my military order, the whole army will speed up the voyage, and strive to break through the Chaisang Water Village as soon as possible, and go straight to Jinling!" ”
After Sun Jian's order, the people on the warship rowed the oars even harder under the supervision of the soldiers. With the help of the river water and the river wind, it quickly swept under Jiangxia City and went eastward, gradually getting farther and farther.
"Father, is it so cheap Sun Jian?"
Watching Sun Jianshui pass through his own territory unimpeded, with a stiff body and dark skin, Huang Zhu, who was in his twenties, pulled his beard under his chin depressedly and complained to his father.
Nearly fifty years old, his appearance is not good, he can even be called obscene, and Huang Zu, who is slightly fat, didn't say anything, just let out a series of smirks: "Hehe...... Hey...... Hey hey ......"
Chaisang, the battalion of the Han Army's naval division.
This Jiangshang camp with Chaisang City at its back and facing the Yangtze River was built by Gan Ning for a year and a half, which can be described as painstaking.
Its shape is similar to that of the dock of later generations, the shape is like a "concave" character, and the empty piece in the middle is the river, and the warships are moored in it in their spare time. The plates protruding from both sides are land, and there are defensive facilities such as arrow towers, lookouts, and catapults on them; The last piece of land was a tent for the soldiers to rest and live on the river.
Chaisang has a dangerous terrain and has always been a battleground for soldiers, and later developed to the nickname of "the thoroughfare of the seven provinces". The city is built along the river, and the river extends in all directions, and there are many water systems. The throat of the Yangtze River in the north, the vast Poyang in the south, Wuyue in the east, and the thousands of miles in the south.
Under the construction of Ganning, the number of Chaisang's army expanded to 33,000 men. Among them, 23,000 were full-time naval forces, and the other 10,000 were mainly engaged in land warfare, supplemented by water warfare.
After Lu Zhi went to his post, he repaired the book to Li Yan and transferred 8,000 sailors from Nanchang, so that Chaisang's garrison expanded to more than 40,000 people. And borrowed the huge copycat version of Zheng He's treasure ship from Jinling, and also transferred more than 50 building ships, fighting ships, and ships from Jinling, so that all 40,000 soldiers could board the ship for water battles.
"Report ......"
At dusk, the spies hurried to the water village, turned over and dismounted, and rushed to the handsome tent in a long tone.
In order to cope with the upcoming fierce war, Lu Zhi, who was fifty-five years old and had a gray beard, rejected Gan Ning's kindness, insisted on refusing to sit in the city, and set up the camp of the Shuai Tent in the naval army. Every day, he is blown by the river breeze and shares weal and woe with the soldiers.
"Don't panic, tell me in detail!"
Lu Zhi, who had just inspected the camp, touched the helmet he had just taken off, put it back on his head, and sat down behind the handsome case and said with a pleasant face.
The spy knelt on one knee and panted for a while, saying, "Governor Qiyu...... Sun Jun and Sun Jun's vanguard came along the river, and when the villain found it, it was about eighty miles away from Chaisang. The enemy's speed is very fast, but I am afraid that at this moment, it is less than fifty miles of Jiangcheng! ”
Without waiting for Lu Zhi to speak, Gan Ning and Jiang Qin, who had entered the account with the spies to learn the news, asked almost in unison: "How many ships are coming?" How many centaurs? ”
Gan Ning's face was full of excitement, and his desire for battle was overflowing. He was the first to take refuge in the Son of Heaven, but he was always pressed to Chaisang and couldn't move, so he could only watch Yue Fei, Qin Qiong, Xue Li, Wei Yan, Xu Huang and others make contributions, and he was unwilling in his heart! Now it finally has a place to use, not only is it nervous because of the arrival of the big war, but it is an unprecedented excitement!
The spy was very afraid of Gan Ning, who was strict in governing the army and competitive, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Gan Ning: "Back to General Gan's words, according to the villain's eyesight, there are at least more than 100 large and small warships, and about 12,000 soldiers!" ”
Gan Ning and Jiang Qin glanced at each other and smiled: "Haha...... It's good to come, I really want to fall asleep here, and I sent a pillow over there, and here I want my mother's family to come to the child's uncle. If you don't fight now, when will you wait? Tonight, I must kill a lot, let Sun Jianjun come and go, and let him know that I Jinfan Gan Xingba is powerful! (To be continued)
