At dusk, the last rays of the sun spilled out, and the sky grew dark. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The smoke curling in the camp of Chaisang, the aroma of meat overflowing, and tens of thousands of soldiers were all eating dinner.

In the west water camp, a soldier who was well fed first was silently boarding their respective warships, as if they were going to board the ship to the west.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Tao Shangce immediately stepped up to the trestle, and his appearance immediately caused a commotion among the soldiers and soldiers.

On the shore, the military general with a national character face, seeing the arrival of the King of Wei, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and said calmly: "Meet the king." ”

The potter glanced at the general, waved his hand slightly to signal him to flatten down, jumped off the horse, stroked his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Your mission this time is related to whether you can delay the attack of the Wu army, and in the distance, it is directly related to the king's plan to destroy Wu, and the king will entrust this burden on your shoulders, are you sure?" ”

The military general with the face of the country was not impassioned, but just arched his hand and said calmly: "The king can rest assured, as long as Zhang Junshi's strategy is not seen through by the enemy, he will definitely succeed in the end." ”

Although his words were not impassioned, and his tone was very flat, but in the blandness, there was a hidden confidence in his chest, which the potter felt deeply.

"Okay, with your words, this king will have a hundred hearts." The potter patted him on the shoulder and said with a proud smile: "This king is in the city of Chaisang, waiting for the good news that you have succeeded!" ”

"Then the general will go." The country-faced military general didn't say much, said goodbye, and boarded the warship.

The flag waved, and more than 40 troop carriers set sail, sailed away from the Chaisang West Water Village, and under the cover of night, traced the west of the Jiangxi River and headed towards the land mouth upstream.

……

Three days later, the sun rises in the east.

When the sky was about to dawn, inside and outside the city of Chaisang, there was a rapid sound of gongs and warnings, breaking the silence of the early morning.

The soldiers who were awake were quickly awakened, the officers ran back and forth, shouting loudly, urging the soldiers to get out of the tent, and the sleeping Wei soldiers jumped up from the warm quilt, almost instinctively and quickly put on their armor.

In the Dongshui camp, the sound of footsteps, the friction of weapons, and the sound of rapid breathing were mixed together, which made people unconsciously tense their nerves and immersed themselves in a tense atmosphere.

Thousands of soldiers came out of their tents, armed with weapons, and quickly rushed to their respective posts in an orderly manner.

In less than a quarter of an hour, 10,000 Wei soldiers were lined up along the shore of Shuiying, forming a defensive situation.

Because it is the naval army led by Ma Yuan, most of them are concentrated in the iron lock array, and the sailors of the water camp here are less than 1,000 people, and they are led by Gan Ning.

As for the 10,000 soldiers, most of them were the original cavalry, and at this time, they could only dismount for the time being and act as a foot pawn.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the potter rode like the wind, through the entire water camp, until he reached the small slope on the shore, and looked at the direction of the downstream with a calm expression.

Less than half an hour ago, the information just sent back by the sentinel ship showed that on the line of Pengze downstream, the huge naval army of the Wu army had set sail and was heading against the current, rushing towards the direction of Chaisang.

According to the prior judgment, the direction of the enemy's attack this time will be concentrated in the water camp in the east of the city, so the potter was already prepared, and most of the cavalry was transferred to the water camp, and dismounted and turned into an infantry army to fortify.

The potter had a hunch that today would be a fierce defensive battle.

He and his 10,000 dismounted cavalry, less than 1,000 sailors, would face a fierce attack by nearly 55,000 Wu soldiers and five times the enemy.

The strength of the enemy army was strong, but the potter did not have the slightest fear, and he looked at the shore of the horse with a Thai look, and did not pay attention to the approaching enemy at all.

Looking around, along the coast, the battle-hardened Great Wei soldiers were also calm and calm, without any fear of the enemy.

Chaisang Dongshui Camp was silent, and everyone's eyes were staring in the direction of downstream.

The first morning sun, when piercing the river fog, in the mist, countless black boat shadows faintly began to appear, slowly moving steadily in the direction of Chaisang.

The hazy shadow, like countless ghost ships, was quietly approaching, and there was a bit of weirdness in the silence.

The spirit of the Wei soldiers became more and more tense, and they all clenched the weapons in their hands, and their blood was already quietly ignited.

The sky was bright, and the sun shot out thousands of rays of light, like countless golden arrows, and finally completely shredded the mist that shrouded the river.

Finally, the figure of the enemy army was completely reflected in the field of vision.

I saw that in my eyes, I saw thousands of warships coming all over the world, and countless white sails were rolling like clouds, surging with momentum.

At the end of this hour, the soldiers of the Wei army finally took a light breath of cold air, and their spirits began to be slightly shaken.

The potter's sword eyebrows also condensed slightly.

This time, Sun Ce once again raised the army of the country and took out all his belongings to attack his water camp.

"Sun Ce, are you here to play with your life again, it's good, let this king see, what can you do to capture my water camp!"

The potter took a deep breath, raised the war knife in his hand gently, and shouted: "The whole army has stabilized its mind and is ready to meet the enemy!" ”

The orders were passed down layer by layer, the flags were waved, and the fighting spirit of the officers and men of the three armies was immediately ignited.

On the front line of the trestle, the crossbowmen commanded by Hou Yi pulled the bowstrings apart, thousands of sharp arrows slowly aimed at the approaching enemy ships, and nearly 100 Tianlei cannons were also loaded with stone bullets and prepared to launch.

On the river, Sun Ce, dressed in silver armor and with a silver gun, stood proudly on the flagship of the ship, his eyes as cold as ice, coldly looking at the Wei army arrayed on the shore.

In his heart, the anger of revenge has been raging, and he can't wait to wash away the shame of losing to the potter.

Glancing at his huge fleet and looking at his five times the enemy's soldiers, Sun Ce's heroic face became even more confident.

"Potter, this time, this king will run head-on to the river bank, so that any of your conspiracies and tricks will be wiped out!"

A sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and the silver spear in Sun Ce's hand suddenly pointed at it, and shouted: "The whole army is attacking, leveling the enemy camp for this king, and killing him ashore!" ”

Tom tom!

In the Wu fleet, the sound of war drums rose into the sky, and the sound of trumpets overshadowed the rolling river waves.

The flagship ordered the flag to wave, and nearly a thousand large and small warships, so the huge ship formation formed was calm on the surface of the river, and began to approach the Chaisang East Water Camp on the south bank.

Sun Ce had already received detailed information, knowing that the pottery merchants had sent 20,000 main infantry to Jiangling to deal with the Shu army, and not a few days ago, they had also sent nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses upstream, and most of the Wei navy was gathered in the iron lock array.

This meant that the potters could only dismount the 10,000 cavalry to act as infantry to resist their own attacks.

The cavalry who got off the horse, Sun Ce didn't pay attention to it at all, he didn't believe that with more than 50,000 troops, he couldn't storm the enemy camp.

At the same time, the pottery merchant's turtle tactics further fueled Sun Ce's arrogance, he knew very well that this was the pottery merchant knew that the water battle was invincible, and the troops were insufficient, so he did not dare to fight a decisive battle, so he had to adopt stubborn tactics.

The pottery merchant's shrinking tactics made Sun Ce ambitious, so he personally led the army and approached the Wei camp.

50,000 sailors, all of them are elite soldiers, in addition to soldiers, Sun Ce also has nearly 400 fighting ships, more than 70 building ships, and the rest of the ships washed away, and there are countless of them.

He was convinced that he would win the battle!

It was with such a fierce fighting spirit that Sun Ce led his fleet, put on an attack formation, and rushed up without any scruples.

In the water camp, the potter is still as calm as a mountain, and there is no trace of waves on the heroic face.

Seeing that the enemy ships were approaching the camp, and when they were approaching for nearly two hundred paces, the potter did not hesitate to order, and the crossbowmen fired a volley of arrows to block the enemy's approach.

"Crossbowman, give me arrows!" Hou Yi gave an order and roared.

The drums burst into action, lined up on the boats and trestles, and thousands of crossbowmen immediately loosened their bowstrings.

Whoosh!

With a loud buzzing sound, thousands of sharp arrows flew out of the string, carrying the momentum of breaking the wind, like endless flying locusts, and pounced on the oncoming enemy ships.

The Wu army fleet, on all warships, the Wu army had already taken precautions, and the sword and shield men hurriedly raised their big shields to resist the arrow attacks that poured like rain.

When the sword and shield bearers dodged the arrows, the Wu army crossbowmen who were hidden behind the shield hands and the female wall on the side of the ship fired arrows at the Wei army from the gap.

"Armies, shoot at will!" Hou Yi drank again and ordered.

After a volley, the Wei crossbowmen began to aim at the enemy ships at will and fire freely.

The humming of the wings of a thousand birds came and went, the sound of breaking the air drowned out the sound of war drums, and the flying arrows, like stars in the sky, intertwined into a net of heaven and earth, blocking the sun.

The screams rose from time to time, and Wu people were constantly hit by arrows, some fell on the deck, and some fell into the boiling river, and were soon swallowed without a trace.

The number of crossbowmen in the Wu army is actually higher than that of the Wei army, and the density of arrow rain is much denser than that of the Wei army.

However, it is twice as difficult to release arrows on a ship as it is on land.

The crossbowmen of the Wei army on land can stand firm, aim at the enemy steadily, and easily open their bows and arrows, but the Wu crossbowmen on the ship are doubled because of the shaking of the hull.

Moreover, in the water camp, the Wei crossbowmen could discharge the formation and release arrows at the same time without any reservations, while the enemy crossbowmen on the enemy ships could only squeeze their arrows in a narrow area of the bow of the ship, and could not give full play to their numerical advantages.

In addition, these crossbowmen of the Wei army are actually cavalry dismounting, temporary roles, these horse archers are good at riding and shooting, usually in the bumpy situation on the horse, they all have superb archery, not to mention dismounting and shooting arrows on the ground.

Under the rise and fall, the Wei army even had a slight upper hand in the long-range attack of arrows.

As the Wu ships approached, the lethality caused by the Wei army's arrows also increased dramatically, and when Sun Ce led the army to approach 170 steps, there were nearly 600 dead and wounded soldiers.

At this time, the general Ling Tong could no longer hold his breath and shouted: "King, the enemy's arrows are too dense, and if we advance slowly like this, we can only lose the lives of our soldiers in vain, why don't we let all the ships speed up, break through the enemy's arrow net in one go, and crash into the enemy camp!" ”
