Chapter 091: Burning the Serial Ship 2
When Zhou Yu led the troops around the burning Cao Ying Water Village and went up to the north bank of the Yangtze River, Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel a pimple in his heart, feeling that Cao Jun seemed to be retreating too fast, why didn't there be a ghost of Cao Bing on the shore?
But the current situation of the battle is not allowed to let him think about it too much, anyway, the warships of the Cao Army's naval division are now turned to ashes, and their military morale should be in chaos, and it is a good time to catch up and wipe them out. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info so Zhou Yu gave an order, and the 30,000 troops behind him chased in the direction of the retreat of Cao's army in the distance.
At this time, a mile away, the torches raised by Cao Jun were like a long dragon that twisted and turned, and there was no one in the village near the bank of the Yangtze River, but only a mountain of grain and grass was left, and there were as many as a million hundreds, Zhou Yu led his soldiers to step forward and stab open a sack with a knife, and all the snow-white rice flowed out of it.
Seeing so much rice, Zhou Yu thought to himself that they had left all the grain and grass intact, which just showed how panicked they were when they fled in a hurry.
Although it is not clear how many people they were burned to death in the fire, it is estimated that the Cao soldiers, who have lost all their food and grass, are now defeated, and there is not much combat effectiveness, so Zhou Yu relieved himself and ordered his subordinates to chase down.
On the other hand, the pursuers were Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, who led more than 10,000 elite soldiers to take the trail to ambush the Cao army.
Zhou Yu and Liu Bei chased them all the way, and although Cao Bing left a lot of footprints and debris along the way, the speed of retreat was quite fast, and after half an hour, they didn't catch up with the enemy.
The ambushed Cao army appeared, they appeared at the bank of the Yangtze River behind Zhou Yu, they threw out the oil cans, only to see that the oil canisters burst open one by one under the action of gravity on the ship of Soochow, causing burning instantly. A thousand warships were thrown out of a large number of canisters of fire oil, and its power was simply earth-shattering. Before the Soochow soldiers who stayed behind could react, their ships were already engulfed in flames.
The southeast wind was still strong, and the wind helped the fire to quickly sweep away all the Soochow naval warships on the shore. The fire ignited this time was even bigger than the fire caused by the previous serial ship, and the flames that soared to the sky were as high as more than ten zhang. A large number of fish that strayed into the vicinity of the fire were scalded and floated on the water, which looked like a strange scene of boiled fish.
The oversized flames illuminated the Chibi battlefield as if it were daylight, and the only people who could escape the thousands of Soochow soldiers who stayed on the warship were dozens of people close to the shore.
Many of the Eastern Wu soldiers who were haunted by the flames jumped into the water, only to find that the river was boiling hot. It's no more comfortable to stay in there than on a boat, and these unfortunate bastards are devastated and killed after enjoying the roast and then tasting the boiled water.
Zhou Yu looked back at the sudden surge of fire, his face was shocked, and all the soldiers and generals next to him also praised Le Ma, this fire is inevitably a little too big?
"Governor Zhou, is there something abnormal on the Chibi battlefield? It stands to reason that this fire shouldn't be so big?" Lu Su shouted from the side.
Zhou Yu's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's not chase after us, go back and take a look, there are strange things everywhere tonight, these Cao soldiers fled too fast and too clean, how can they be as prepared as if they had been prepared? Now the scope of the riverside fire is too wide, but it is not something that Cao Jun's hundreds of serial ships can burn, could it be...... Oh no, we've been tricked?"
Lu Su said in horror: "Dudu, do you suspect that the fire by the river is caused by the burning of our warship?"
Zhou Yu's eyes were dark red and said: "It is very likely, Cao Jun is likely to be using a trick, let's go back to the army river to see what is going on?"
"Impossible, that million rice is genuine, I have personally inspected it, what if I cheat those rice?"
"Lu Su, Cao Cao has a lot of money, and he uses a small amount of grain and grass to make us fooled, which is really nothing. ”
"What the Governor said is very true, in that case, let's return to the army quickly. Brothers, let's hurry up and run back to the river. Lu Su shouted.
"Boom!"
After a loud bang, a ball of fire exploded in the middle of Zhou Yu's battle array, hundreds of people fell around, and the shouts of killing broke out around them!
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Countless Cao troops came out in the night, only to see that these soldiers were each holding a piece of wood-like weapons, constantly blazing, and a large number of sharp swishing sounds sounded in the air. The enemy's attack was a silent order, and without Zhou Yu's urging, the soldiers of Eastern Wu hurriedly turned around and fled, each running faster than the other.
Zhou Yu rode a horse and was pushed by the soldiers and ran all the way down, and when he looked back and saw thousands of people lying on the ground, he couldn't help but shed two heroic tears. Fortunately, Zhou Yu saw the opportunity quickly, and most of their troops did not all enter Cao Bing's ambush circle.
At dawn the next day, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others led the remaining troops to flee the scene in the opposite direction along the trail and stopped in front of a treacherous valley.
Zhou Yuyao pointed to the path sandwiched between the towering hills in front of him, and said excitedly: "See, there is Huarong Road in front." Cao Cao wants to go back to Xiangyang, he must go here, the mountain is high and the road is dangerous, the mountain path is shrunk into a path that only allows two horses to walk side by side, as long as we set up an ambush here with 10,000 soldiers, even if Cao Bing has thousands of troops and horses to attack, it is difficult to overcome. ”
After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao led all the way back to Jingzhou with elite troops, and the group ran to a place, Cao Cao looked around the environment, and suddenly opened his mouth to laugh, and the soldiers didn't know why, so they asked Cao Cao what was going on?
Cao Cao said: "I said that Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu are not a big deal, if I use troops and ambush the next army here, then the enemy will not be able to escape." ”
Just as he was finishing speaking, suddenly there was a lot of noise around him, and Zhao Zilong broke out and said, "The last general, Zhao Zilong, has been waiting here for a long time on the orders of the military division. ”
Cao Cao and his entourage saw the fierce general Zhao Zilong appear, and the soldiers were really invincible and fled the battlefield urgently. Later, the group walked and walked and came to a place again, Cao Cao looked around again, and began to laugh again, and the people next to him felt strange, why did Cao Cao laugh again?
Cao Cao said again: "I said that Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu are not a big deal, if I use troops and ambush the next army here, then the enemy will not be able to escape." ”
The same thing was said again, this time as soon as the words were finished, Zhang Fei appeared, Zhang Fei killed, Cao Cao and his party were defeated and fled, and the soldiers were demoralized after these two battles.
Cao Cao and his party walked and walked, and finally came to a fork in the road, there were two roads, Cao Cao looked at one of the roads, and there was cooking smoke in the distance of the road, indicating that someone was cooking there, so Cao Cao said to the soldiers: "Go there!"
The people thought it was strange, so they asked Cao Cao, and Cao Cao said: "Fiction is real, reality is false, the enemy deliberately asked people to make cooking smoke there, so that I would think that there were people there, and go to another road." ”
So the group walked from that road, this road is the famous Huarong Road, walking, Cao Cao looked around, needless to say, he smiled again.
At this time, a soldier who was not afraid of death said to him: "Prime Minister, don't laugh anymore, every time you laugh, there will be ambushes to kill." ”
Cao Cao said: "This time is different, the terrain here is treacherous, if you lay an ambush here, the enemy will come here, won't you be wiped out?"
After saying this, the group walked forward again, Huarong Road is a ramp, Cao Cao went forward at this time, it was the uphill road, when he came to the top of the slope, the group saw Zhou Yu, immediately on the top of the slope, obviously waiting for Cao Cao, behind Zhou Yu, there were more than 10,000 soldiers.
