Chapter 551: This is the moment I was waiting for
It was a battle of disparity, at least on the surface. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the Wu army was in the lower reaches, it had the upper hand in terms of the number of troops, the number of warships, and the quality of warships.
However, the outcome of the war is not so simple to decide.
Although the Wu people had powerful ships and had an advantage in the performance of their warships, it was a pity that the opponent they faced was an immortal general like Ma Yuan.
In terms of the ability to command water warfare alone, Ma Yuan's strength can be compared with Sun Ce, who has experienced several battles of all sizes, and he can be said to know the Wu people's water warfare tactics well, and with his excellent command skills, he has made up for the gap in strength with his personal ability.
is not only ability, but at this moment, Ma Yuan is also holding the heart of fame in the world, earning meritorious service, self-confidence, fighting with Wu Jun with all his might, and his morale has also overwhelmed Wu Jun.
The two armies fought in a dogfight, and there was no difference between victory and defeat.
In the military department of the Wu army, Sun Ce, who was watching the battle, had a proud face, and the fire of anger was blazing.
In his eyes, the melee on the river had lasted for half an hour, and the corpses floating down the river stained the river red, and the dead and wounded soldiers of the two armies were almost the same.
Sun Ce was very annoyed, he was counting on Ling Tong to be able to defeat the horse aid first, but according to this situation, it was impossible to take the horse aid with only one Ling Tong.
Annoyed and anxious, Sun Ce raised the big gun in his hand and shouted: "Issue an edict from this king, and order Zhou Tai to lead his troops to press up and attack the horse aid dog thief!" ”
Seeing that Sun Ce was starting to be impatient, Pang Tong hurriedly reminded: "King, the pottery thief's army has not all been put into battle, we must calm down, and we must not be too anxious." ”
"The pottery thief is very deceitful, this king doesn't put some pressure on him, how can he lure his entire fleet out, this king just wants to force him to have no choice." Sun Ce snorted coldly and vetoed Pang Tong's reminder.
Sun Ce's intentions are not unreasonable, if the pottery merchant sees that the situation is not good and leads the rest of the army to withdraw, then in this decisive battle, Sun Ce will still not be able to annihilate the main force of the pottery merchant's naval army.
If he can't completely annihilate the potter's army, he will continue to attack the potter's Chaisang water camp, so that this war will once again return to the previous stalemate.
Pang Tong also knew this truth, so he didn't want to say anything more.
When the order was passed, Zhou Tai, who had long been unable to hold back, didn't say a word, stood on the bow of the boat shirtless, and shouted: "The athletes of Da Wu, go up with the generals and crush the Wei dog!" ”
The earth-shattering war drums roared again, and in the roar, 10,000 Wu troops surged out and entered the battle group in one fell swoop.
On the south bank of the river, the potters are still swordsman, observing the battle on the river.
Fan Xu's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw that the Wu army had increased the number of attacking ships, and he hurriedly pointed at Dajiang and shouted: "Look, the king, Wu Gou has increased his troops again." ”
"It's good, this king is still afraid that Sun Ce won't dare to press ......" The potter cheered, the corners of his mouth slanted, and a sneer passed.
He commanded the front army with horse aid, which was to let him, an old enemy, fight against Sun Ce, provoke Sun Ce and induce Sun Ce to take the army to the top, only in this way can he have a chance to win in one battle.
Sun Ce didn't want to bring the war back to a stalemate, and neither did the potters.
"Fuck it! The fleet of the Wu army is twice as large as the horse aid, the king, hurry up and transfer the ship of Gan Ning, otherwise the horse aid will be finished! Fan Hao shouted nervously and worriedly.
"Crow's mouth, do you think that Ma Yuan is like you, so easy to finish!" The potter glared at him angrily.
Fan Hao stuck out his tongue, not daring to shout again, but he still muttered endlessly.
Xiang Yu, who was beside him, also frowned, and reminded: "King, Ma Yuan is indeed acting unfavorably, shouldn't you also consider transferring Gan Xingba's rear team." ”
"It's not time yet, we have to wait for Sun Ce's whole army to press on!"
As soon as the potter raised his hand, he categorically rejected Xiang Yu's reminder, looked at the banner of the word "horse" with trust, "The potential of horse aid has not yet burst out, and this king believes that he can still support it." ”
On the river, the 10,000 Wu army led by Zhou Tai also crashed into the battlefield area, totaling 20,000 Wu troops and besieging 10,000 Wei troops.
If the previous confrontation between Ma Yuan and Ling Tong could still be evenly matched, the addition of Zhou Tai doubled the number of Wu troops, and soon gained the upper hand and completely suppressed him.
The number of fighting ships of the Wu people is twice that of the Wei army, not to mention that there are more huge building ships, and under all these advantages, it is strange that the horse aid Wei army is not suppressed.
"King, don't blame Lao Fan for my crow's mouth, look at this situation, Lao Ma really can't hold it!" Fan Hao was anxious to see it, and couldn't help but shout again.
Although he didn't finish speaking, the implication was naturally to hint to the potters whether they should also press Gan Ning's 3,000 rear army.
"Steady, the more times like this, the more steady." The potter's face was indifferent, without the slightest hint of worry.
And when the potter was calm, Sun Ce was already extremely anxious on the ship of the Wu Army's flagship building outside Lixu.
Sun Ce was not just anxious, but also annoyed.
Zhou Tai's joining the battle, although he quickly gained the upper hand and completely pressed him against the horse aid, but even so, he still couldn't break the horse aid, and the battle was still deadlocked.
The guy who humiliated him so much was so tenacious in his resistance!
Sun Ce was furious, completely enraged, and scolded angrily: "Tao thief, do you really think that hiding thousands of rear troops can play any role, okay, today this king will personally go into battle, even your front army and rear army will be crushed, let you know who is the real king of water warfare!" ”
In the roar, the silver spear in Sun Ce's hand was raised, and the last 10,000 Chinese soldiers and sailors no longer had a back hand, and rushed up together.
Sun Ce didn't believe that Zhou Tai and Ling Tong couldn't get a horse aid together, but his proud self-esteem made him impatient.
He wanted to go into battle in person, with the fastest speed and an overwhelming advantage, to sweep away the Wei army in one fell swoop.
"The king......" Pang Tong felt that something was wrong and wanted to remind him, but when the words came to his lips, he took them back.
He didn't know what to remind him of.
Obviously, the Wei army no longer has a powerful ballista weapon, this decisive battle on the river, their own army has an absolute advantage, even if the pottery merchant still has 3,000 rear troops not pressed, as long as Sun Ce's main force all attack, the same can be swept away by the pottery merchants' front army and rear army.
This is a decisive battle without suspense.
What really worries Pang Tong is that the potter knows that he has little chance of winning, but he still takes the initiative to provoke this decisive battle, which does not seem to be in line with the style of the potter.
He vaguely felt that the potter must have some conspiracy, but he couldn't see where the yin was.
Just when he was hesitating, Sun Ce's royal order had already been handed down, and Sun Ce personally commanded 10,000 naval troops and more than 300 warships, and pressed it mightily.
The 30,000 Wu army and 1,000 warships formed an overwhelming absolute advantage over the Wei army.
I saw that on the ships of the Wei army, Ma Yuan was still standing still in an absolutely unfavorable state, calmly commanding the battle.
And the flagship of the building ship under his feet, under the attack of Wu Jun's archery, because there were too many arrows, the hull of the ship had begun to tilt, and the soldiers had to grab the ship to stand still.
Looking around him again, the blood mist was flying, the sound was loud, a famous Great Wei soldier fell beside him, and the corpse that fell into the water dyed the entire river with a layer of crimson.
The powerful offensive of the Wu naval army has reached the most fierce point, with the absolute superiority in numbers, under the cover of powerful arrows, it is easy to get close to the Wei army's fighting ships, and the generals of the Wu army of each department, leading their soldiers, rushed to board the Wei ships, and slaughtered the Wei soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, the Wei army had eight fighting ships, and more than 30 ships were taken.
The situation of the Wei army has reached an unprecedented unfavorable situation, and this battle on the river seems to end in a crushing defeat for the Wei army.
On the bank of the river, all the soldiers of the Great Wei cavalry were sweating, deeply worried about the disadvantageous situation of the sailors.
There is only one potter, but he is always as immobile as a mountain, and his heroic face is only as quiet as a mountain.
When he saw that Sun Ce's whole army was pressing, instead of worrying, he smiled.
The laughter was fierce, the laughter was mocking, and the generals such as Fan Xu were all puzzled and looked at him in a daze.
The generals could see that their own fleet was now in an absolutely unfavorable state, and was being divided and surrounded by the Wu army, to the point of annihilation one by one.
As soon as the horse aid army was wiped out, even if Gan Ning led 3,000 soldiers and horses to successfully retreat to the water camp, the Wu army took advantage of the situation to attack, and with this little soldier and horse, it would definitely not be able to hold it.
What's more, the Wu army did not go to attack the water camp, but directly attacked the iron lock Hengjiang array, which would inevitably be broken with one blow.
At that time, the waterway will be completely cut off by the Wu army, and the situation will be even more critical.
At such a critical juncture, their king can still laugh?
They didn't know that the whole army of Wu was pressed and was in the hands of the potters.
In addition to the potter, Zhang Liang, the only one who knows, also smiled.
The time that the potter wanted had come, and without a trace of hesitation, he immediately raised the war knife in his hand and shouted: "Light the beacon fire, send the order to Gan Ning, and then attack the army vehicle and ship attack team!" ”
On the shore, a beacon fire rose into the sky.
In the rear military department, Gan Ning, who was boiling with blood, was waiting at this time, when he saw the beacon smoke ignited, and his battle intent boiled so much that he was about to explode.
He raised his iron halberd and shouted excitedly: "The warriors of Great Wei, fight for our king, go up with the general, and kill all the enemies!" ”
At the sound of an order, a hundred ships set off in unison.
Inside the ship, hundreds of pedalers shouted and shouted, using all their strength to pedal the runner, turning the tooth lobes on the side of the ship frantically.
Nearly 100 Great Wei vehicles and ships attack team, with the thrust of the upstream downstream, coupled with the power of the dark wheel, surging down and crashing towards the chaotic battle group.
This is the inspiration of the pottery merchant root in the later Song Dynasty car and boat, coupled with Huang Yueying's careful design, the car and ship created, with a dark wheel instead of paddles, has super maneuverability, even the most advanced warships of the Wu army are incomparable.
This car and ship was built for today's war!
In the battle group, Sun Ce saw that the rear team of the Wei army was also pressed, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hand: "The last belongings of the pottery thief have also been sent to the bowl, which is in line with the king's wishes, and ordered Ling Tong to let him leave it alone and lead the team to destroy the rear team of the pottery thief." ”
On the flagship of the Wu army, the letter flag was raised high, and Ling Tong received the order, and immediately ordered the warships to change their orientation, leading hundreds of Wu warships to pounce on Gan Ning's rear fleet.
In the blink of an eye, the two armies were relatively close.
"Wei Jun, this is ...... What the hell is this ship!? ”
When Ling Tong saw the Wei army clearly, the strange warships with strange shapes, on the surface, not only did they have no sails, but they couldn't even see the oars, but they were galloping like the wind, he was instantly stunned.
