Chapter 537: A girl who doesn't know the height of the sky
Not only Tai Shici's face changed in shock, but also the generals of the Wu army, such as He Qi and Sun Ce, as well as the 20,000 Wu soldiers, all changed color. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The distance was close enough, and they finally saw the new appearance of the Wei army's iron lock array.
Today's Wei warships have changed greatly, the outer layers of all ships are coated with a thick layer of wet mud, and the Wei soldiers on the ship are still pouring water on the mud to ensure that the mud is always kept wet.
Tai Shici was originally going to use fire to attack and burn the Wei army's warship, but he didn't expect that the warship had been coated with a layer of wet mud "armor", so how could he set the Wei ship on fire?
"It's hateful, it turns out that the pottery thief expected that we would attack with fire, so he prepared early?" Tai Shici was shocked and angry, gritted his teeth, and didn't know what to do for a while.
On the iron lock array, Ma Yuan smiled.
He was proficient in water warfare, and as early as the potter Zhang Liang calculated the time for the Wu army to use fire to attack, he had already thought of this method of restraining fire attack.
Today, I didn't expect that Wu Jun really came to attack with fire, which was simply self-inflicted.
"Tai Shici, I want to see how you play with fire...... Looking at the rushing enemy, Ma Yuan did not have a trace of fear, and looked at the enemy with a sneer.
At this time, the Wu warships could no longer control their speed, and soon collided with the Wei warships.
Under normal circumstances, Tai Shici should have given the order to rush to the Wei ship and set fire to the ship, but at this time, he lost his sense of proportion for a while and did not give any orders.
The Wei army has been prepared, he can't put this fire out, board the ship and force a battle, the horror of the broken army crossbow camp is not over, although his soldiers are equipped with big shields today, he does not have absolute confidence that he can block the heavy crossbow fire of the broken military camp.
For a while, Tai Shici fell into a dilemma.
Just when Tai Shici was hesitating, the golden sound of his own army came from the direction behind him, and several scout ships came galloping, waving the letter flag, and ordered them to withdraw their troops.
"Could it be that the king's land confrontation was defeated first?" Tai Shi Ci's heart chuckled, and the surprise on his face became even heavier.
Tai Shici, who was in an uneasy mood, had no choice but to give up the attack, obey Sun Ce's order, and order the ships to retreat.
The Wu army, who came with high morale, could only be frightened at this moment, hurriedly turned the bow of the boat, and fled downstream.
Seeing that the Wu army had withdrawn, Ma Yuan immediately understood that it must be the land battle of the land potters, and he was immediately excited, and shouted: "The king has won, brothers, use our arrows to send off Wu dog!" ”
When this order was passed, the morale of the Great Wei soldiers was great, and the crossbowmen rushed to the bow of the ship, and the sharp arrows were like startled locusts, overwhelmingly inclined to retreat the Wu army.
Under the rain of arrows in the sky, the Wu people screamed one after another, all of them cowered under the ship wall, praying in horror that they would not be shot.
Behind him, in addition to the sound of buzzing arrows, the hearty laughter of the Wei army echoed.
……
On the same day, this confrontation between the two countries on land and water ended with a complete victory for the pottery merchants, Sun Ce lost nearly 10,000 troops, and led the defeated troops to retreat to Pengze City downstream.
After the victory, the potters naturally rewarded the three armies, and rewarded the soldiers with wine and meat, and the entire camp of Chaisang was immersed in a celebratory atmosphere.
For several days, the soldiers of the Wei army were immersed in celebration, and the wine and meat continued every day.
However, while the potter was celebrating, he was always paying attention to Sun Ce's latest movements.
Soon, those Jinyi Nanwei who were scattered in the Wu State sent the information on the latest movements of the Wu army to the hands of Chaisang Su Qin one after another like snowflakes, and then Su Qin handed it over to his own hands.
The potter originally thought that after Sun Ce experienced this defeat, he would return to Jianye and lick his wounds.
In this way, he was able to withdraw and advance westward, first to repel the Shu army that attacked Jiangling, and then wait until the epidemic of the main infantry army was over, and then move down the river east with 100,000 troops to sweep away the Wu State.
The potter's plan was like this, but apparently, Sun Ce did not intend to cooperate with him.
Sun Ce, who was defeated, not only did not choose to retreat, but also transferred 5,000 soldiers and horses from the front line of Hefei and Zhou Yu to Pengze for reinforcements.
Looking at Sun Ce's posture, it seems that he will not recapture Chaisang, and he will not give up, and he plans to spend it here with him to the end.
However, the potter also knew that Sun Ce was helpless and had to do so.
The reason is simple, it is that Chaisan is too important.
At present, the potters have newly obtained Chaisang, and they have not yet gained a firm foothold, if they collect the hearts of the potters, sit firmly in the city, and remove the threat of Shu in the west, they can invade his Wu country with 100,000 troops.
Moreover, on the front line of Hefei, Le Yi's 20,000 Huainan Corps will also attack his Wu State on both sides.
In other words, the army used by Wei to destroy Wu will reach as many as 1560,000.
Even if Sun Ce pacified Shanyue and squeezed the national strength to the limit, he could only piece together seven or eight soldiers and horses at most.
In terms of troops, it is at a disadvantage, in terms of the water army, the Wei army's water warfare ability seems to be gradually catching up with the Wu army, Sun Ce knows very well that if he does not take back Chaisang, he will be in danger of overthrowing the country.
Therefore, he must do his best, taking advantage of the fact that the Shu army has not retreated, and the main infantry of the pottery merchants is still plagued by the epidemic and cannot rush to Chaisang to recapture the important town of Chaisang.
Of course, the potter was not afraid, and he was ready to face Sun Sheng's dying blow again.
Moreover, he also has the secret weapon offered by Huang Yueying, which is being built in a hurry, and he can be put into the battlefield at the critical moment to give Sun Ce a fatal blow.
……
Peng Zecheng, Wu Wang's Palace.
The huge torches illuminated the entire hall as bright as day, and the firelight shook on everyone's faces, just like their mood at the moment.
Tai Shici, Han Dang and other generals of the Wu State all stood solemnly on both sides, their faces flashing with a little unease.
The silence of death, a gloomy mood of defeatism, was contagious like a plague among the people.
At this time, heavy footsteps sounded outside the hall, and the generals looked for prestige, but saw Sun Ce, who was iron-faced at the gate, strode into the hall with a gloomy anger.
Tai Shici and the others bowed down one after another, and when they bowed their heads, they didn't even dare to take a breath of air, and their hearts were surging with a little unease.
Chaisang's defeat deeply angered them, the arrogant King Wu, and Sun Ce was in a state of anger, and the big guys were afraid of provoking Sun Ce and being angry.
Now seeing Sun Ce coming with a cold face, Tai Shici and the other generals could not secretly be afraid in their hearts, only afraid that Sun Ce would not be angry and punish them.
For a moment, Sun Ce sat on the top seat, looking around at everyone, with a face that was not angry and arrogant, and seemed to have a sign of guilt.
Tai Shi Ci hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "The minister's attack on the enemy's iron lock formation failed, please ask the king to surrender." ”
He took the initiative to ask for guilt, which made Sun Ce's anger calm down a little, took a light breath, and arched his hand: "Ziyi, rise up, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and you are not to blame for losing this battle." ”
Tai Shi Ci secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he dare to stand up straight.
Syllable!
Sun Ce's palm slapped the desk, shaking the generals' bodies again.
Glancing at the generals, Sun Ce said gloomily: "The pottery thief deceived people too much, and defeated our army with tricks one after another, this king has been completely angered by him, from now on, this king has begun to deal with him seriously, I hope that you and others will also come up with twelve points of spirit, do not defeat the pottery thief, take back Chaisang, this king will never retreat!" ”
Sun Ce's words were full of anger and generosity, and the original uneasy emotions of the generals under the rank were quickly mobilized, the pride of hunting was rekindled, and the anger of revenge quickly grew in the hall.
"Pottery thief, take Chaisang!" Under the anger, Tai Shici was the first to wave his fist and roar in response.
This roar, like a spark, quickly burned into a prairie fire.
"Pottery thief, take Chaisang!"
"Pottery thief, take Chaisang!"
At the bottom of the stairs, Chen Wu, Han Dang, Zhou Tai and other generals of the Wu Kingdom, like mad beasts, all vented their anger with anger, and the roar of revenge rushed to everyone's eardrums, which shook everyone's ears buzzing.
Sun Ce glanced at the high-spirited generals, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately, Sun Ce sent an order to go down and ordered all armies to rest and recuperate, and prepare to march back to the west of the Jiangxi in the coming day.
This time, Sun Ce will use Pang Tong's strategy to adopt a steady and steady tactic, no longer attacking the iron lock array, or waving his army to take Chaisang City directly, but first breaking through the water camp in the east of Chaisang City, gaining a firm foothold on the south bank, and then advancing steadily.
After ending this mobilization and re-boosting the morale of the generals, Sun Ce repelled everyone and went to the back house to rest.
As soon as he entered, he saw more than ten female soldiers in red, who were practicing in the courtyard, and when they saw Sun Ce arrive, they paid their respects.
"This girl, just disobedient......" Sun Ce frowned suddenly, strode into the courtyard, looked up, and sure enough, he saw his sister Sun Shangxiang.
"Brother Wang, you're back." Sun Shangxiang saw Sun Ce, threw the big gun in his hand to the female soldier, and pounced like a bird.
Sun Ce reprimanded with a straight face: "Shang Xiang, what's the matter with you, for your brother, you are strictly ordered not to leave Jianye, you are so bold, you dare to sneak to the front line!" ”
"Brother Wang, don't be angry." Sun Shangxiang stuck out his tongue and made a playful grimace, but explained seriously: "Actually, I came out of Jianye with a generous party, I didn't sneak out, don't wronged me." ”
Sun Ce smiled helplessly, knowing that his royal sister had been overly pampered since she was a child, and although the guards of Jianye had their own royal orders, how could she dare to stop her if she wanted to go out of the city.
In front of those female soldiers, Sun Ce couldn't train her directly, so he pulled those female soldiers back, and after a while, only his brother and sister were left in the courtyard.
Sun Ce took out the demeanor of being a brother, and said with a straight face: "Shang Xiang, you shouldn't be too bad this time, Peng Ze is a front-line land, and my brother is fighting with the pottery thief here, how can I allow you to mess around, you hurry up and be obedient, and give me a quick return to Jianye." ”
"What are you doing so fiercely...... Sun Shangxiang pouted, and complained with an aggrieved face: "People came all the way here, not to make a little contribution to our Sun family, to help Brother Wang fight the Wei people, and slaughter that potter thief." ”
Sun Shangxiang's words not only moved Sun Ce, but also cried and laughed because of her arrogance and ignorance.
"You, you, when will you be able to change this arrogant character." Sun Ce flicked her forehead and sighed: "That pottery thief is a generation of heroes, and he doesn't even dare to underestimate him as a brother, just rely on you, and dare to boast that he wants to kill him, aren't you afraid of flashing your tongue?" ”
Although Sun Ce hated the potters to the core, Sun Ce also had a bit of heroism in the end, and for the potters, in addition to hate, there was also a bit of heroic sympathy.
Sun Shangxiang is different, although she likes to dance with knives and guns since she was a child, and is called "Bow Waist Ji" by the Wu people, she looks very domineering, but in fact she doesn't have any actual combat, she just thinks she is powerful.
She is used to being spoiled, she can be said to be "lawless" in Wu Kingdom, no one dares to provoke, even if Tai Shici sees her, she has to pretend that she is not an opponent, so she doesn't know the height of the sky, and even the potters dare not take it seriously.
As soon as he heard that Sun Ce was so jealous of the pottery merchant, Sun Shangxiangqiao's face raised a touch of disdain, and he snorted coldly with a small mouth: "Brother Wang is all over the Jiangdong, no one is invincible, what kind of pride and courage is that, how can you listen to Brother Wang's words, you are so jealous of the pottery thief, could it be that you have eaten a few defeats from him, and you are afraid of being beaten by him?" ”
