Chapter 1149: The Straw Boat Borrows Arrows

Hua's City is in front of him, but Song Cheng does not plan to attack immediately, because the sun has not been set for long at this moment, and the Tianzhu soldiers and horses in the city have not rested, and the attack at this moment may cause relatively large casualties, and if the attack is launched in the middle of the night, the casualties will definitely be reduced to a minimum.

"General, Fahrenheit City is right in front of you, it's better to take it directly." The general, however, did not take into account the casualties and suggested loudly.

Song Cheng waved his hand and said softly: "Remember the location of Hua's City, it may be foggy later, let the soldiers ambush and attack in the middle of the night, so as to minimize the casualties of our army." ”

"Yes, General." The general responded, and immediately asked his soldiers to hide, preparing to attack Fahrenheit City in the middle of the night.

Song Cheng's judgment was indeed not wrong, in less than half an hour, the woods were foggy, and as the fog became thicker and thicker, the brightly lit Fahrenheit City in the distance could no longer be seen, however, the soldiers of the Jin army had already remembered the specific location of Fahrenheit City, for this reason, even if they could not see the location of Fahrenheit City, they could also prepare to find Fahrenheit City according to their own memory.

"General, the fog is so big, judging from the last general, our army only needs to secretly climb the city wall, and the thunderbolt can't be used at all!" The general looked at the fog around him and spoke.

Song Cheng nodded and said with appreciation: "You're right, these thunderbolts will be saved first, and after the city is breached, Tianzhu's main force is very likely to counterattack Hua's city, and then we will still rely on these thunderbolts to resist the enemy?" ”

"Yes, General." The general hurriedly responded.

Subsequently, Song Cheng summoned several generals and studied with them how to sneak up the city wall and how to annihilate the enemy forces in the city after entering the city, so as to completely control Hua's city.

In the Hua'an army camp on the north bank of the Ganges River crossing, thousands of soldiers and horses under Hua'an's command were setting up straw men, which was an order issued by Hua'an when the fog had just risen near the camp.

As for the purpose of the grass man, it is naturally to imitate Zhuge Liang's grass boat to borrow arrows, and all the generals under Hua'an understand this and support Hua'an's strategy.

"Your Majesty, the straw men have all been tied, and there are more than 20,000 of them." The general said excitedly.

Hua An nodded happily, and said with a straight face: "Immediately allocate a hundred big ships and three hundred small boats, tie the straw man on the side of the ship, and prepare to borrow arrows from the Tianzhu army." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The general received the order and immediately went to convey the military order.

Soon, more than 20,000 straw men were tied to the sides of more than 100 small boats and 300 large ships, and in order to create a realistic effect, the outer layer of straw men were wrapped in shabby clothes to prevent the Tianzhu soldiers and horses on the opposite shore from seeing the flaws.

"Your Majesty, the straw men are all on the side of the ship, ready to march to the south shore." The ministry general came to report.

Hua An nodded with satisfaction and ordered softly: "Let's go!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The general of the ministry led thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and rode more than 400 boats full of straw men to Nan'an, the ferry.

In order to attract the attention of the Tianzhu army on the other side and mark their location, each ship was equipped with a war drum, and two soldiers took turns beating the war drum.

Standing on the high platform of the big camp, watching more than 400 ships sail towards the south bank, Hua An and several generals all laughed, they believed that this trick of borrowing arrows from grass boats, Tianzhu people would not be able to see through it, and in this way, they could get a large number of arrows, while Tianzhu soldiers and horses would lose a large number of arrows, which was naturally a great thing for the Jin army.

"Your Majesty, the last general guessed that this time the grass boat could get 100,000 arrows by borrowing arrows." Wang San opened his mouth and guessed.

"Your Majesty, the general thinks there will be at least 200,000 sticks."

"500,000 is also possible, after all, the Tianzhu army has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and each person shoots five arrows."

"If every soldier shoots ten arrows, won't our army get a million."

All the generals of the Jin army began to speculate.

Hua An smiled happily, and said: "The more arrows you can borrow, the better, but I am afraid that the arrows of the Tianzhu soldiers will not be accurate, and all the arrows will be shot into the river, so that our army will get a lot fewer arrows." ”

"Hahaha!" All the Jin generals burst out laughing.

Although the fog in the camp was very thick, standing on the high platform, he could see the stars in the sky and the flag that was leaving the top of the big ship, so that Hua An had a clear understanding of the position of the fleet under his command, so that it was easy to grasp.

The Jin fleet slowly sailed towards the south bank, and a stone's throw away from the south bank, began to beat drums and shout to attract the attention of the Tianzhu army.

At this moment, the main force of Tianzhu soldiers and horses are resting, and nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in charge of guarding are patrolling near the camp, seeing that the Jin army took advantage of the foggy day to launch a surprise attack, the Tianzhu soldiers and horses in charge of the vigilance immediately rushed to the shore where the drums sounded, and lined up the formation to meet the battle, and the main force of Tianzhu in the camp immediately got up, ready to meet the attack of the Jin army.

"General, listening to the voice, the soldiers and horses of the Jin army are less than a stone's throw from the shore, and our army can launch an attack." A subordinate general said to the general.

The Tianzhu generals stared ahead, although the fog was very thick and they couldn't see the Jin army clearly, but the silhouette of the huge warship was still looming in the distance.

"Shoot the arrow, release the arrow immediately." The Tianzhu general gave the order to release the arrows.

"Whoosh...... Nearly 10,000 soldiers in Tianzhu heard the order, and immediately bent their bows and arrows in the direction where the Jin army's warships were located, and fired arrows violently.

Needless to say, these arrows were all nailed to the straw men of the ship, and did not cause any damage to the Jin soldiers, of course, because the Jin army did not fight back, so the Tianzhu army did not suffer any losses.

The huge movement caused by the war drums of the Jin army also attracted the attention of the Tianzhu Sea Protector, who immediately got up and asked what had happened, and after learning that the Jin army took advantage of the foggy sky to raid the south bank, he immediately put on his clothes and personally went to the high platform to inspect the situation.

The high platform of the Tianzhu camp is the same as the Jin army camp, which is full of ten zhang, for this reason, standing on the high platform, you can clearly see the situation in the distance, the fog is in the low place, and naturally it will not affect the observation of the high place.

When the Sea Protector King arrived at the top of the high platform, several Tianzhu generals were already standing on the high platform and looking to the north to observe.

Due to the great fog in the lower places, for this reason, they could only see the flag on the top of the Jin army's big ship, but they could not see the entire deployment of the Jin army.

"What's the situation, how many soldiers and horses does the Jin army have?" The Sea Guardian King looked at several generals and asked nervously.

"Your Majesty, the fog is too big, and we can't see clearly, we can only see the Jin army banner in front of us by the moonlight." A Tianzhu general spoke.

Hearing this, the Sea Protector King looked up, paused, and said: "There are hundreds of banners in front, it seems that the Jin army has dispatched at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it is menacing!" ”

"Your Majesty, the Jin army has suddenly launched an attack, and our army must immediately send reinforcements to the shore to prevent the soldiers and horses in front of them from being able to defeat the Jin army, so that the Jin army can break through the Ganges defense line." A Tianzhu general said.

King Haihu nodded, and said: "You are right, you must immediately send troops to reinforce the front, however, the Jin army is the best at using tricks, maybe there will be another group of men and horses to surrender behind our army, therefore, the defense in the direction of the big camp should also be strengthened, and the order is to send 50,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce the front, and the remaining soldiers and horses will strictly defend the big camp to prevent the Jin army from launching a sneak attack." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Tianzhu general commanded loudly.

Under the order of the Tianzhu Sea Protector, the 50,000 Tianzhu army reinforced the shore, and together with nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses on the shore, they fired arrows at the Jin army fleet, intending to stop the Jin army's attack.

Of course, the more arrows fired by the Tianzhu soldiers and horses, the more arrows the Jin ships get, and soon the Jin ships are full of arrows on both sides, and the big ships can continue to accept arrows, but the small boats have to evacuate immediately, because a large number of arrows have sunk a lot of small boats with low loads, and if they continue to accept arrows, the small boats are very likely to suffer the consequences of sinking.

With the gradual withdrawal of the Jin army's boats, the drums of the Jin army fleet became smaller and smaller, and this really made the sea protector king standing on the high platform very happy, and the Jin army's drums gradually became smaller, which is enough to prove that the soldiers and horses under his command caused great casualties to the Jin army, and forced the Jin army to gradually withdraw from the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Jin army is about to lose its strength, and they have begun to evacuate." A Tianzhu general said happily.

"Yes! Our army once again thwarted the attack of the Jin army, so that the morale of the Jin army will inevitably suffer a major blow, and this will win the conditions for our army to counterattack in the future. King Haihu said excitedly.

When all the Tianzhu generals heard this, they all looked very happy, as if they had really won the battle.

And just when Tianzhu Junchen got carried away, the small boats of the Jin army had returned to the ferry on the north shore one after another, and the Jin soldiers on the boat were pulling out the arrows on the straw people, and in groups of 100, all these arrows were tied up and stacked in the designated position on the shore.

The soldiers returned triumphantly one after another, and Hua'an was naturally very happy, and personally went to the shore to check the harvest.

At this time, hundreds of soldiers on the shore held torches to drive away the nearby fog, so as to increase the visibility of the vicinity, so that the soldiers on the ship could transport the arrows to the shore more smoothly.

"Your Majesty, it looks like you've had a good harvest, much better than we expected." A ministry general said.

"Yes! Your Majesty, this time the harvest is only afraid of no less than a million arrows. Another general looked at the mountain of arrows piled up on the shore and said happily.

Hua An was naturally very happy, and walked up to the general in charge of counting the number and asked, "How?" How many arrows are there? ”

The general who was in charge of counting the number replied: "Your Majesty, our army has gained a lot, the largest small boat has more than 10,000 arrows, the least one has 5,000 arrows, and 300 small boats have 1 million arrows. ”

"Great, I really didn't expect so much to be gained, 10,000 arrows weigh a thousand gold, and more boats will sink! Ha ha! Hua An said happily.

"Your Majesty, the big ship has not yet returned, and I believe that the harvest of the big ship will not be much less than that of the small ship, and maybe a hundred big ships will be the harvest of a million arrows." The general said happily.

Hua An nodded: "I hope so!" However, according to the current situation, the harvest of the big ship should not be less than the harvest of millions of arrows, and the archery skills of the Tianzhu soldiers are not bad, and they actually shoot so accurately. ”

The generals all smiled happily when they heard this.

The large ships of the Jin army have a very high load, so no matter how many arrows there are, the ships will not be sunk, so the soldiers on the large ships of the Jin army have been beating drums and shouting to continue to attract Tianzhu soldiers to release arrows into the ships.

However, the number of arrows carried by the Tianzhu soldiers was limited, and the arrows stored in the camp were not endless, so they soon fell into a situation where there were no arrows available.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers have run out of arrows again, and the forward soldiers have asked for more arrows." The general went to the high platform for the third time and asked the Sea Protector for more arrows.

The Sea Protector King already had doubts in his heart at this moment, he felt that the Jin army's attack this time was quite strange, and it seemed a little unusual, but what was unusual, he couldn't say, he just had this feeling.

At this moment, the general asked for additional arrows again, which finally made him a little sober, he felt as if he had been deceived, and this feeling was very strong.

"What is the battle situation ahead, how many enemy casualties, how many casualties are there in our army?" King Masase asked.

The general hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the fog is too great to judge the casualties of the Jin army, but our army has not suffered any casualties. ”

"What, our army doesn't have any casualties, how is this possible?" The Sea Guardian King was shocked, and all the generals beside him also widened their eyes, after fighting for so long, his own soldiers and horses were not damaged in the slightest, which was too unreasonable.

"Your Majesty, the Jin army just shouted, and did not fire arrows at our army, so our army had no casualties." The ministry general said truthfully.

"What, the Jin army has not launched an attack, what the hell is going on." The Sea Guardian frowned and paced.

"Your Majesty, the Jin army should not be deliberately wasting our army's arrows, thereby weakening the strength of our army!" A Tianzhu general frowned and said.

"That's right, Your Majesty the King, it's very likely, the Jin army always likes to play tricks, maybe this is another trick of the Jin army." Another Tianzhu general said.

Hearing this, the Sea Protector King nodded slightly, and said, "You are right, the Jin army is completely playing tricks, and we have been fooled again, it really makes sense." ”

"Your Majesty, this time we have suffered a lot of losses, consuming a full eight million arrows." A Tianzhu general said sadly.

"What, it's consumed so much." The Sea Guardian King exclaimed in surprise when he heard this.

All the generals of the Tianzhu Department lowered their heads and did not speak, obviously, causing such a heavy loss, the Sea Protector King himself was the most responsible, and he had approved the allocation of arrows to the soldiers and horses in front many times, how could he blame others?
