In the winter and November of the seventeenth year of Jian'an, the troops mobilized by Lao Cao from all over the country had arrived one after another, and troops were dispatched from Hefei and Anhui to enter the mouth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, Sun Quan had also been making various preparations and confronted Lao Cao's army across the river. Considering that Lao Cao has been stationed in Hefei for more than half a year this time, but there has been no major movement, it is obvious that he has received the lesson of the Battle of Chibi and adopted a steady and steady strategy, indirectly fighting with Sun Quan for logistics and supplies, and after Zhang Zhao weighed the pros and cons, he could only persuade Sun Quan to prepare a large number of money and silk goods immediately, let Lu Fan go to Yizhou a few more times, and urgently buy back the necessary weapons and equipment and money, food and military supplies from Lu Ren to deal with Lao Cao's strategy of delaying but not fighting.

On the other hand, Zhou Yu's side has been staring at Jingzhou, and the troops at hand cannot be easily mobilized, so Sun Quan's side is personally going to fight Lao Cao. Because he was at a disadvantage in terms of troops, Sun Quan could not take the initiative to send troops to attack and gain the initiative, so he could only strengthen the defense along the coast.

But the problem is that Cao Cao has not been idle in the past few years, and there are not a few warships built, compared to the Battle of Chibi that year, the number of ships may be as good as the same. Every time Sun Quan ascended to the heights and saw the dense warships of the Cao army on the opposite bank, and then thought about the sailors who were strong but suffered in numbers, his heart felt weak for a while, and he vaguely had the idea of surrendering.

However, the current Dongwu is not without a hard fight, maybe when he can be like Zhou Yu, and come to the fire that will determine the outcome again? However, if Lu Ren knew Sun Quan's thoughts, he would probably laugh crazy, the stunt of the American wolf is the god of fire, but your Sun Quan's stunt is...... Forget it! Originally, there was a ghost plot Lu Xun, but Lu Xun returned to Lu Ren at this time.

By mid-November, Cao Cao's deployment was nearing completion, and it seemed that he was not long before launching a general offensive plan. The whole army on Sun Quan's side is dealing with it carefully, and it seems that there is no escape from a hard fight.

In order to boost some morale before the war, Sun Huan boldly asked Sun Quan to give him some sailors, and first lured out a part of Cao's army to fight a small local victory. After Sun Quan agreed, Sun Huan led 5,000 sailors to Cao Jun's water village to fight against the enemy. However, Cao Cao seems to have learned some lessons from the Battle of Chibi, and has always ignored Sun Huan's provocations, and is still wholeheartedly preparing for the decisive battle. Sun Huan provoked for several days without success, and he didn't dare to get too close to Cao Jun's water village, so he could only stalemate like this.

On this day, Sun Huan came to provoke again, and Cao Jun Shuizhai still ignored it. Sun Huan gritted his teeth and wanted to boldly invade Cao Jun's water village, but he couldn't make up his mind. How many ships do you have? How many ships did Cao Cao have on his side? If you rush in, it may be no different from a meat bun and a dog, right?

"General, Cao Jun can't come out of Shuizhai, let's go back to the camp, right?"

Sun Huan looked at the tight Cao Jun Water Village and sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to give the order to collect his troops, he hurriedly reported: "General Qiqi, there are a large number of warships coming from the southeast!" ”

"What? What is the flag of the incoming ship!? ”

Sun Huan was shocked, all the counties in the southeast of Sun Quan, all the ships that could be transferred were transferred. If it was Cao Cao's fleet transferred from the sea, Soochow would be a big problem. It is not surprising that Sun Huan has this thought, because Cao Cao has not sent troops for so long, obviously the deployment of troops has not been completed, and it is likely that he has been waiting for this fleet.

"General Hui, the flag of the person who came is unknown, neither the flag of Cao Jun nor the flag of his own family...... On the flag of the other handsome ship is a big flag with the word 'Sun'! ”

"Sun Zi Daqi? Do you say ......"

――――――――――――――――――――

"What? My sister Shangxiang's reinforcements? ”

Hearing the news, Sun Quan's face was long and gloomy. For this sister of his, as long as someone mentions it in front of Sun Quan, Sun Quan will not be angry. Your Sun Shangxiang is a hostage sent to Lu Ren, it's not good to stay at Lu Ren's place, why did you come here to make a fuss?

"Order, play the banner, and ask Shang Xiang to quickly lead the team to leave the battlefield!"

Sun Quan was extremely angry, and Zhang Zhao over there was also on fire. When has it been, Sun Quan is still fighting with his own sister who came to the rescue thousands of miles away? You Sun Quan has been secretly annoyed that Sun Shangxiang was biased towards Yizhou at the beginning, which everyone can understand, but now that this time comes, why don't you Sun Quan want to think that Sun Shangxiang may be a reinforcement sent by Lu Ren? To put it simply, it is inconvenient for Lu Ren to come forward directly, so of course it is to let Sun Shangxiang, the Sun family, come out.

Who is Zhang Zhao? provoked that it was a person who even dared to scold Sun Quan, and he could scold Sun Quan so much that he didn't dare to come out. In short, after Zhang Zhao stood up and scolded, it was strange that Sun Quan was not wilted. Honestly prepare to send an emissary to meet Xiangxiang's fleet.

It's just that the envoy has not been sent, and the envoy is ordered to come first: "Qi Wu Hou!" The county lord's fleet has invaded Cao's water village, and the confrontation is in a hurry! General Sun has also sent troops to help. Because the fighter plane was lost slightly, he sent a villain to ask Wu Hou for his guilt, hoping that after the war, General Lu would be forgiven for not waiting for the army's orders! ”

"Ahh

From Sun Quan to the Dongwu ministers in the cabin, they all looked at each other, and they all said the same sentence in their hearts: "It's been many years, and the county lord still hasn't changed his old temper!?" Say it's a fight. ”

Zhang Zhao reacted quickly and hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, the county lord is also quite capable of using troops, and if he dares to send troops now, he will definitely have a chance to win." The lord must not hesitate, and should quickly go to the coastal camp to supervise the troops to help and cheer for my Dongwu soldiers! ”

"So what are you waiting for? Prepare the horses! ”

――――――――――――――――――――

On the Yangtze River, there are many wars.

Sun Shangxiang actually just came back from Wadao, and then under Lu Ren's intentional guidance, he "borrowed" a lot of excellent warships from Lu Ren, plus more than 2,000 Jiangdong disciples led by himself, and the total number of more than 5,000 warships and hundreds of warships was also there. At this moment, Sun Shangxiang himself commanded half of it, and Lu Xun commanded the other half. As soon as he arrived, Lu Xun found that the flank defense of Cao's navy was weak, so he launched a straightforward attack.

Why didn't Sun Huan attack? Because the strength of the sailors of Soochow is not enough! But the sailors brought by Sun Shangxiang had enough strength to carry out a large-scale attack.

Before the war, Lu Ren's order to the Yizhou Navy was: "Although we are helping Dongwu, who once invaded my Yiquan, in this battle, we will fight all of them seriously, don't lose the face of the Yizhou Navy Division!" This battle must be fought well, fought beautifully, and the Cao and Sun families are convinced! Even if it is not Dongwu, the courage of my Yizhou soldiers must make Dongwu really afraid from the bottom of my heart, so that they will not dare to provoke us Yiquan in the future! Got it!? ”

Sometimes, helping someone fight a war is also a way to make the other person afraid. And in the current battlefield, the elite naval army of Yizhou is simply showing off its might in front of the Eastern Wu army. Oh, and Cao Jun. This battle seems to be the first confrontation between Lu Ren's soldiers and Cao Cao's soldiers, which may be what Lu Ren hopes from the bottom of his heart, because the Yizhou soldiers need to have a strong opponent to prove their combat effectiveness. It's just that it's not good to turn his face with Lao Cao on the surface, and it's just right for Sun Shangxiang to come out.

The Cao Jun Water Village on the other side has already been in chaos at this moment, and there are messy fires everywhere. This fire is naturally far inferior to the original Chibi fire, but it also has a good killing ability.

Although some of the Yizhou sailors brought by Sun Shangxiang and Lu Xun are old-style warships and still use some old-style equipment, it does not mean that Sun Shangxiang and Lu Xun will not be able to fight first-class water battles without these equipment.

Gan Ning was the leader of the thieves on the Yangtze River at the beginning, and the flexible and mobile water warfare method was his best way of fighting, and he naturally taught these skills in the training of the Yizhou naval army.

Now there are a lot of fast oars in the old warships that Lu Ren handed over to Sun Shangxiang, and Sun Shangxiang is good, so that these walkers are not equipped with enough fighters according to the normal way of water warfare. Rather, after ensuring the number of oarsmen, it was just five to ten bombardiers per boat, and the boat carried a lot of alcohol/burn bombs.

After these walkers quickly rushed into the camp of Cao Jun's Shuizhai, they did not fight hard with the opponent's ships, but threw fire/burn bombs when they saw the boat, and slipped away when they were finished. Yizhou's alcohol-burning/incendiary bombs are not as bad as ordinary rockets and the like, so it can be said that they can be caught on sight and are not easy to extinguish. A few hundred or so fast boats pierced a few back and forth into Cao's fleet, and more than 5,000 were thrown out according to the calculation of 50 incendiary/incendiary bombs per boat, so how many ships had to be burned?

After throwing the incendiary bombs, the walkers gradually retreated, and the next thing was the large and medium-sized battleships of Sun Shangxiang and Lu Xun that it was time to shoot. Yiquan's standard warships are good at medium and long-range attacks, while the old warships of Soochow are more suitable for hand-to-hand combat. First, a rain of stone bullets and incendiary bombs went out, causing the Cao soldiers to capsize on their backs, and then the old warships mixed with a large number of bows and arrows charged.

It's just that there are still some places here that are different from the old water warfare, the old water warfare focuses on the capture of ships, but Sun Shangxiang gave another order: sink!

There were only five or six thousand sailors from Yizhou, and it was not wise to fight hand-to-hand combat according to the old-style style of play. And according to Lu Ren's meaning, it is to settle the battle as much as possible, so it is better to do his best to destroy the many ships that Cao Cao relied on to cross the river and attack. If Cao Cao's army of more than 100,000 did not have enough ships, it would not pose any threat to Sun Quan for the time being, and Sun Quan would be able to complete his armament relatively calmly, and he would not need to land Ren to attack again.

Speaking of which, Lu Ren actually has a more insidious selfishness, that is, if he sinks all the ships that are not his own, then Cao Cao will definitely spend a lot of money to rebuild the ship, and in turn, Sun Quan, who failed to grab ships from Cao Cao to replenish the ships of the navy, is the same. Next, the shipbuilding business in Yizhou ...... (To be continued.) )
