Chapter 1330: Huang Gai led the warship to land
Abundant physical strength is an important factor in the decisive battle on the battlefield. Zhao Yu will not ignore this, and at noon on the second day, he asked people to bring out a good meal, let the soldiers eat and drink enough, and then ordered the soldiers of the three armies to rest well.
For this kind of reward on the eve of the war, the soldiers are also very clear, after all, this meal is good, and the next meal does not know if there is a chance to eat. Therefore, as a commander, the soldiers will be asked to eat some good food on the eve of the war, one can be said to have the strength to fight, and the other can also be said to be good on the road. After lunch, the officers and soldiers of the three armies repaired collectively, and when it was close to dusk, all the soldiers woke up one after another for the battle.
It can be said that the soldiers woke up, not to be woken up, but by the diffuse aroma. Before Guo Jia said that the war started at dusk, it is estimated that it will be fought until dawn on the second day. This can be said to be a very long and long battle, if the soldiers do not have sufficient physical strength, I am afraid that in the second half of the night battle, there will be no physical strength to support it. What's more, the weather is also relatively cold in the second half of the night, as long as you fill your stomach, your body will be warm.
When all the soldiers were gathered and the meal was served, everyone received a bowl of wine. You must know that in a war, no one is allowed to drink alcohol, especially when this is a big war. Zhao Yu ordered that everyone be presented with a bowl of wine, which surprised many people.
Just when everyone was suspicious, they only heard Zhao Yu walk to the Dianjiang platform, at the dense soldiers below, picked up the wine bowl in his hand, and said loudly: "Brothers, a big battle is coming, and it will be the last battle between our army and the three armies of Wei, Shu and Wu. We have been waiting for this day for a long time, and after the end of this war, we will definitely be able to complete the unification of the world. When the time comes, all of you brothers will be the heroes of my Zhao Kingdom, and I will definitely not forget you, thank you. ”
It can be said that Zhao Yu's simple words exaggerated all the generals present. Since Zhao Yu established the Zhao State, he has sincerely loved the people of the Zhao State, and every Zhao army soldier here, which soldier's family has not received the favor of the policy promulgated by Zhao Yu? It is precisely because of Zhao Yu that the army and the people are united, so that these sergeants can serve Zhao Yu with all their might.
Then Zhao Yu continued: "This time, each person has a bowl of rice wine, and now in the middle of winter, the night is cold, and everyone is warmer after drinking. But there is only one bowl per person, after all, we still have to participate in the war, and if we get drunk, then this battle will not be fought. But don't worry, brothers, don't be afraid of not having enough wine, as long as this great war is over, we can win. I will definitely set up a banquet to treat the officers and men of the three armies well, and ensure that each of you will have enough to eat and drink. ”
"But I have only one request, this war is in my hands, and I want you all to give me a good life. This time I have taken you with me on the expedition, then I am obliged to take responsibility for you, and when the war is over, I will take you back to your homeland with honor, so that your parents, your wives and children can welcome their heroes home. Cheers, brethren, this time we will win. ”
Zhao Yu's words immediately made everyone present high-spirited, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and soldiers collectively raised the wine bowl in their hands. Even Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Yan Liang, Xu Shu and other generals and ministers under Zhao Yu also raised their wine bowls and shouted at Zhao Yu together: "Victory, victory, victory." Then everyone drank almost all of them.
After everyone finished drinking, Zhao Yu stepped forward directly, waved his hand, and said to everyone: "The soldiers of the three armies, board the ship with me and go out to conquer the enemy army and complete the unification." ”
"Howl." Zhao Yu's command suddenly erupted in the entire three armies, and all the soldiers howled like bloodthirsty wolves. Immediately, all the soldiers, under the leadership of their respective generals, began to board the ship and prepare for the battle. And Zhao Yu led Guo Jia, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu to land on the largest building ship and take command. As for the other generals in the army, as well as Xu Shu, the deputy division of the march, they all led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and began to drive to various points.
According to Guo Jia's meaning, although all the generals led the soldiers and horses to put down the formation, they did not arrange the command order in advance. Guo Jia decided to use static braking to deal with the enemy this time, looking at the formation and distribution of the enemy's attack, waving the general flag in the battle to command the three armies to fight. As for Xu Shu, he is in the position of the Chinese army and is responsible for coordinating the operation with Guo Jia.
Just as the entire army was preparing to set sail, suddenly Guo Jia's face changed, and he whispered to Zhao Yu beside him: "Your Majesty, the wind direction has changed, and it has really changed to the southeast wind." ”
After hearing Guo Jia's words, Zhao Yu couldn't help but be stunned, and then said, "Oh? It seems that the enemy really wants to launch a fierce attack on our army at this changing wind. After the words were spoken, Zhao Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said to Guo Jia again: "Fortunately, Guo Jia has your insight into the opportunity and can see through the enemy's conspiracy in advance, otherwise, our army will be in danger this time." Now that everything is going according to our plan, let's join forces to give the enemy a powerful blow, complete the unification of the world as soon as possible, and go home to reunite with our wives and children. ”
Zhao Yu's words undoubtedly have a resonance for Guo Jia. It's been a long time since this expedition, and no matter what, Guo Jia also misses his wife and children at home. Immediately, I saw Guo Jia bow to Zhao Yu and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Guo Jia will definitely go all out to lead our three armies to defeat the enemy, help Your Majesty complete the unification as soon as possible, and not let Your Majesty down." ”
Just after all the Zhao troops boarded the ship, Zhao Yu waved his hand, and the entire army began to move towards the direction of the enemy camp. Along the way, Zhao Yu stood on the bow of the boat, feeling the feeling of the wind, if it wasn't for the war, it was really comfortable. And just when Zhao Yu couldn't help but want to close his eyes and enjoy the wind, suddenly a sound of footsteps interrupted Zhao Yu's thinking.
I saw a sergeant, bowing to Zhao Yu is hand and bowing: "Your Majesty, there is a warship that has found the enemy army ahead, and it is said that it was negotiated with our army before." It seems that Huang Gai, the general of the Wu army, led his soldiers and horses and warships to surrender. ”
After listening to the sergeant's words, Zhao Yu was particularly calm, and said to Guo Jia beside him: "Guo Jia, it's time to come or come, this will be a little expected." ”
Looking at Zhao Yu's expression, Guo Jia couldn't help but smile and said: "Your Majesty is really a god, we are already a little nervous, but Your Majesty has a calm and calm expression. ”
After finishing speaking, Guo Jia looked not far ahead, and continued to Zhao Yu: "Your Majesty, according to Guo Jia, our army warship has reached the middle of the river. The warships of the front army have also stopped, and the warships of the middle army and the rear army can be ordered to stop there. Let the former soldiers come to meet the Huang Gai and carry out our plan. ”
"Well, that's it." Immediately, Zhao Yu said to the soldier who came to report: "Wave the order flag, let the warships of the three armies stop, and let the warships of the front army send someone to answer the surrender of Huang Gai, everything must be cautious and cautious, and nothing goes wrong." ”
"No." After hearing Zhao Yu's order, the sergeant immediately retreated and began to wave the flag, using the flag to convey Zhao Yu's instructions.
As Zhao Yu's order came out, the warships of the entire front, middle, and rear armies all stopped. Especially the warship in front, after receiving Zhao Yu's order. Immediately, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun ordered the warship to get out of the way and guide Huang Gai, the military general who came to surrender to Chengcheng, to enter.
And after seeing this scene of the warship of the former army of the Zhao army, the soldiers who came with Huang Gai hurriedly pointed to the warship of the Zhao army and said excitedly to Huang Gai: "General, look, those Zhao troops seem to have been fooled." All the warships actually stopped, especially the former warships, which made a way for us, should we light a fire now, rush over in one fell swoop, and set all those Zhao army warships on fire. ”
After listening to the words of the sergeant beside him, Huang Gai hurriedly shook his head and said, "Wait a minute, at this moment, we are still some distance away from the warship of the Zhao army." If they ignite the fire and rush over, I'm afraid those Zhao troops will react in advance, if they intercept it at this moment, presumably we won't be able to rush over, at most we can only ignite these warships in the front row, and it will be difficult to ignite the fire. So it's better to wait and follow my instructions. ”
Regarding Huang Gai's seriousness, the sergeant couldn't help but be nervous, "What the general said makes sense, but if we rush too far forward, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous for us to wait." ”
The sergeant's words obviously made Huang Gai a little displeased, and he immediately said: "Hmph, today we are fighting for the country, if we can't defeat these Zhao troops, then we will face the danger of losing the country." As long as these Zhao troops can be defeated, even if they sacrifice their lives, what is there? As I said, we have been following the Governor's plan, and if we can be careful, we can all jump into the water and retreat on the last ship when the ship is on fire. Presumably, those soldiers of the Zhao army will definitely be nervous about those ships that are on fire, and they will definitely not pay attention to us. ”
As he was talking, he suddenly saw Huang Gai's eyes glaze out, and he said to several sergeants beside him: "Give General Ben a twelve-point boost, and you will soon arrive at the defense line of the Zhao army, make a gesture, and make everyone set on fire." And scattered the warships, rammed those Zhao warships, the fire started a little, and everyone jumped into the water and retreated. ”
With Huang Gai's order, I saw that the soldiers who came with Huang Gai picked up the flint in their arms and began to ignite the reeds and straw that were poured with fire oil in the ship. In just an instant, these warships that came with Huang Gai all ignited a fire, and the ships were set on fire in an instant.
