At this time, in the Chrysanthemum Port Theater, the decisive battle of the main body has actually ended, and the battle situation has also turned into the stage of annihilation of the three ethnic coalition forces on the Lu Ren side. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Whether it is a decisive battle or the ongoing war of annihilation, the five thousand Jiangdong disciples led by Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang are all mixed in, and they have achieved quite a bit of success so far.

To be honest, Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang have a little bit of "soy sauce" and "paddling" at this time. But then again, Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang can only play soy sauce and paddle at this time.

First of all, in terms of troops, Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang only had 5,000 people after all, and among these 5,000 people, in addition to Zhou Yu's 2,000 direct subordinates, the other 3,000 were recruits recruited by Sun Shangxiang in Wu County. You must know that Sun Shangxiang began to recruit new recruits in mid-August, and it has not even been four months until now, and the training of 3,000 recruits has not yet passed. How much combat effectiveness can such a unit have?

Zhou Yu: How many years have you been with soldiers? Zhou Yu couldn't be too clear about this matter, so Zhou Yu persuaded Sun Shangxiang, who was a little eager to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, so as not to cause chaos to Lu Ren's corps on the battlefield. If this is because of the lack of combat power of the recruits, what changes have been caused and affect the entire battle situation, where can they afford this big cauldron?

Moreover, Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang came to Liaoxi after all because they belonged to the nature of the guest qing, and to put it mildly, the nature of diplomacy was far greater than their value on the battlefield, so if they insisted on grabbing the main attack task, it would be easy to make it difficult for Lu Ren to be a person. Therefore, Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang only need to follow Lu Ren's main army to fight soy sauce and make some gains, and it is by no means that Zhou Yu is deliberately avoiding the war and picking up cheap.

Seriously, if it weren't for these reasons, with Zhou Yu's arrogant personality, where would he be willing to follow other people's butts to be a soy sauce clan and a paddling party? So at this time, one thing can still be seen, that is, Zhou Yu, who is now over forty years old, is much older and calmer than during the Battle of Chibi twelve years ago.

Of course, Zhou Yu has some purposes for doing this. Before coming to Liaoxi, Lu Ren gave Zhou Yu 2,200 Type 18 muskets with a wave of his hand, of which 2,000 Zhou Yu were unceremoniously redressed to his 2,000 direct subordinates, and the other 200 Zhou Yu were handed over to Sun Shangxiang's direct female soldiers out of various considerations.

Of these two thousand Type 18 muskets, Zhou Yu planned to bring them back and hand them over to Sun Quan. And before bringing it back, Zhou Yu certainly had to figure out the various properties of these muskets. Then on the battlefield, his troops are in a position of playing soy sauce and paddling, which is also conducive to his two thousand subordinates to take this opportunity to familiarize themselves with the performance of muskets.

That is, in the actual use, the toughness shown by the Type 18 musket made Zhou Yu's scalp a little numb. Type 18 musket is a weapon between breech musket and breech gun because it must meet Lu Ren's own conditions, and its performance is naturally incomparable with modern guns. But even so, the effective range of the Type 18 is still 150 meters, as for the lethality...... Zhou Yu didn't understand the data used by Lu Ren, he only knew that it was the same distance of 100 meters, and it was also a wooden board with a thickness of inches, and ordinary crossbow arrows would be nailed to the wooden plank, but the bullets fired by Type 18 could easily shoot through the plank.

Putting aside the performance that is much stronger than the traditional bow and crossbow, Lu Ren naturally has to come up with relevant tactics when he gets this thing out. And these tactics on the battlefield are even more than what Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang's 5,000 people can practice in just a few months.

Let's put it this way, when Zhou Yu led his troops to make some gains on the battlefield, he was still a little complacent. But when he saw that the three thousand musketeers led by Deng Ai had almost defeated the nearly 10,000 cavalry of the three clans alliance in a very relaxed manner, Zhou Yu understood that he was still too far behind.

More importantly, Zhou Yu, with the vision of an excellent general, was keenly aware of the huge advantages formed by Lu Ren's advanced weapons and tactics, and then Zhou Yu naturally secretly compared the combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong Army with the combat effectiveness of Lu Ren's army in his heart, and came to the conclusion that the gap between the combat power of Jiangdong soldiers and Lu Ren's soldiers was not ordinarily large. If Jiang Dongbing and Lu Ren's soldiers are allowed to fight like this, the loss that Jiangdong Bing will suffer will definitely not be a little bit.

Therefore, Zhou Yu secretly made up his mind in his heart, that is, after returning Jiangdong, he should persuade Sun Quan well, and don't provoke Lu Ren unless he has to......

Just when the battle for Chrysanthemum Harbor was coming to an end, somewhere north of Jinzhou.

There was a soft "click", but someone struck the match in his hand, and then used the match to light the pipe in his mouth, and then took a deep breath, and then Meimei sprayed the smoke out of his mouth and nose.

In normal times, this puff of cigarette may be nothing, but at this moment, this puff of cigarette can really tickle the hearts of a circle of people on the side. The smoker, after taking two puffs, looked around but was happy: "What do you rabbits look at?" I'm just as out of fire as you are! This cigarette is just a bit of tobacco residue that I scraped out after I scraped the bag of tobacco leaves. ”

Someone next to him also smiled, took out a small cloth bag from his body, flipped it in, looked at it a few times, and then scratched a few times until a little tobacco residue was also scratched, and then carefully stuffed this poor cigarette residue into his pipe. Because there was really not much, he took a small puff and handed it to the people around him who were greedy, and then the pipes made out of such a pitiful cigarette residue began to pass in the hands of this circle of people, and each person was handed to the next person with a small sip of addiction.

To be honest, just light the cigarette residue, if you really smoke it, it won't take a few puffs and it will be gone, but everyone has a tobacco leaf bag, and after turning it over, you can always pull out a few tobacco residues, and add them to the pipe immediately so that you can still smoke some smoke in the pipe. So when the two pipes are turned back into the owner's hand again, the owner of the pipe can actually smoke a little more.

Seeing that there was really no smoke, the two guys who passed out the pipe each knocked off the ash in the pipe, and the person who lit the cigarette first asked the person who lit the cigarette behind him: "Brother Zitai, has the person sent out to inquire about the news returned?" ”

"Brother Zitai" is actually Tian Chou, but the person who asked him was Gan Ning. As early as when Lu Ren and Chen Gong decided this battle, Gan Ning led his troops by sea to Youbeiping to find Tian Chou in accordance with Lu Ren's instructions, and then Gan Ning and Tian Chou led their men and horses to avoid contact with the alliance of the three tribes invading Liaoxi from another road, and went around to the north of Jinzhou, in order to act at their current location after the battle began.

If the battle goes well, it is here that Tian Chou and Gan Ning intercept the fleeing alliance of the three clans; If the battle does not go well, Tian Chou and Gan Ning's task will be to reinforce Jinzhou as a surprise army.

In order to ambush this strange army, Tian Chou took Gan Ning to walk the road that Lao Cao had walked again, which lasted nearly two months. Because Tian Chou had walked through and had relevant experience, when he took Gan Ning on the road, the troops they led were still relatively well studied. However, what makes people a little laughable is that although the rations can still be eaten for a few days, the tobacco carried by the soldiers is basically exhausted, so there is the phenomenon of cigarettes and cigarettes just now and still smoking in turns.

Don't think this is, in fact, tobacco has an indescribable psychological effect on soldiers, which is recognized by many historians and psychologists in later generations. With such information, Lu Ren also provided tobacco in the ration to the troops. And when Gan Ning and Tian Chou's troops set off from Youpingbei, each soldier carried a bag and a half pound of tobacco with him. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't smoke, you can trade these tobaccos for your smoking companions.

It is difficult to evaluate whether Lu Ren was right or wrong in doing so, but these tobaccos did invisibly relieve the psychological pressure of the soldiers marching in difficult and dangerous areas. However, at this time of now, the time seems to be a bit long, and the most important thing that the soldiers who have run out of cigarettes to do now is to fight the enemy fiercely, beat the enemy to the ground, and then light a cigarette, and take a few puffs of beauty.

didn't talk about it, but said that Tian Chou responded after listening to Gan Ning's question: "I haven't come back yet, but after counting the time, it's almost time to do it." Brother Xingba, don't be careless, you and I are ambushing here, but it is related to how many enemies can be blocked in Liaoxi. If the first battle is successful and tens of thousands of aliens are slaughtered here, then the land of Liaoxi can be peaceful for at least ten years. ”

Regarding the problem of alien races in the north, Tian Chou is definitely a veteran figure. Moreover, Tian Chou also has a characteristic, that is, he has always hated the invasion of the northern nomadic tribes.

Speaking of which, Tian Chou's identity is also a bit "eccentric" at this time. Why? Because Tian Chou originally didn't want to be an official and receive a knighthood, but due to Lu Ren's appearance, in order to facilitate the development of some things, Lu Ren persuaded Tian Chou to accept the official position and title given by Lao Cao in the early years. It is precisely because Tian Chou has an official position and title that many things in Western Liaoning have been done much more conveniently.

When Lao Cao was called the Duke and established the Wei State, he did not move Tian Chou out of consideration for Lu Ren, but let Tian Chou continue to maintain the original Han official and stay in Youbeiping, in order to maintain a good relationship between this area and Lu Ren. Later, until Lao Cao's death, Tian Chou's officials and titles did not change much.

Of course, Tian Chou didn't mind this, after all, he didn't even want to be an official. In terms of political inclination and personal will, Tian Chou is also more inclined to Lu Ren. Then this time when the northern alien race launched a full-scale attack, when Lu Ren sent someone to inform Tian Chou, Tian Chou also chose to help Lu Ren.

There are some things that Lu Ren didn't actually say to Tian Chou, but Tian Chou can understand Lu Ren's thoughts, that is, after solving the invading enemy in Liaoxi as soon as possible, Lu Ren can empty his hands and free up troops to support other regions, and this is consistent with Tian Chou's thoughts all along, which is also the main reason why Tian Chou came here with his troops to set up an ambush with Gan Ning.

After a few more words with Gan Ning, suddenly a fast horse arrived, but it was the spies they sent out to report the news. Some people may ask why Gan Ning and Tian Chou didn't bring a telegraph? In fact, there is no way to do this, because Lu Ren's current technical level has not yet reached a certain level, so the telegraph used at this point is relatively large, and it needs to have a corresponding external device, which can only be used if it is fixed in a suitable place, and the troops who attack cannot be carried with the army. Moreover, the road taken by Gan Ning and Tian Chou was a difficult road, and the telegraph machine really couldn't be carried, so they could only use traditional methods to obtain information.

Without saying a word, the fast horse scout finally rushed to Gan Ning and Tian Chou at this time, and informed the two that the decisive battle in Jinzhou had begun. And the departure time of this fast horse scout was when the 30,000 "militiamen" of the Jinzhou side appeared on the battlefield, so it can basically be judged that the battle on the Jinzhou side was going well. In other words, Gan Ning and Tian Chou must be ready to make preparations for a comprehensive interception of the fleeing alliance of the three clans.

The march and waiting were very boring and boring, and the generals and soldiers had run out of tobacco to relieve this boredom and boredom, so when they heard the news, everyone from Gan Ning Tianchou to ordinary soldiers was lifted and began to get busy.

At this time on the Jinzhou battlefield, Lu Lingqi and Chen Gong had also entered the stage of sweeping the tail and completed the division of troops, and Lu Lingqi took her troops and began to pursue the three ethnic coalition forces that retreated to the north. And it was not just a simple pursuit, Lu Lingqi also had a task to drive the fleeing three-clan coalition army to the ambush sites of Gan Ning and Tian Chou as much as possible.

"There were people in the north who called us Han people cattle and sheep, and they could drive and eat at will. So now, Lu girl, you just want to tell these souls that they will really be driven and slaughtered like cattle and sheep, and it is precisely these people who don't know the height of the sky and speak wildly! ”

This is what Lu Lingqi said to Lu Lingqi when she was preparing to attack after completing the division of troops. It's not wrong to think about it, if the three-clan alliance army that fled from Jinzhou was driven away by Lu Lingqi's column, wouldn't it be similar to a herd of cattle and sheep?

And Lu Lingqi's battle was also fought freely, so after listening to Chen Gong's words, Lu Lingqi's order to his subordinates, or the slogan, should be said: "Sons! Follow me to drive the 'cattle and sheep' into the circle! ”
