Chapter 228: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain

Chen Gong's strategy to draw out Jiang Qin was very simple, that is, to let Zhou Yu lead the water army not to attack the Wu army's water village first, but to put on a posture of blocking the river, which made Jiang Qin suspicious that the Chu army's water division was covering more than 100,000 infantry troops to cross the river behind, and had to go out of the village to fight.

At this time, Pengze Lake was the predecessor of Poyang Lake in later generations, but it was very different from Poyang Lake in later generations. The main difference is that Poyang Lake in later generations is located in the south of the Yangtze River, while Pengze at this time has a lake area in the north and south of the Yangtze River. Zhang Xiu's army occupied the North Lake, Sun Quan's army occupied the South Lake, and the wide river in the center was also a lake area.

Liu Biaojun has civil rule but no martial arts, the year before last Sun Quan sent the father and heavy minister Cheng Pu to lead the army to assist Zhang Xianjun to drive Liu Biaojun back to Jingbei, and last year Zhang Xian died of illness, and Zhang Xian's son Zhang Yi did not have his father's talent and fame, although he inherited his father's position as Changsha Taishou, but in fact the power of the four counties of Jingnan has fallen into the hands of Sun.

Now Sun Quan occupies the four counties of Jingnan and the three counties of Yuzhang, and rules with Liu Biao. Although it seems to be much larger than his brother's father's territory when he was alive, and he was also given the title of Wu State, his strength is much worse than when Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong in the previous two years.

Although Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu have a grudge against themselves for killing their fathers and the other for killing their brothers, because they have now seized the four counties of Jingnan and are across the river from the Liu Biao group, Sun Quan's main threat and biggest enemy is Zhang Xiu, who has taken his own Jiangdong land.

As early as a year ago, there was a news that Zhang Xiujun went out to the south of the Yangtze River from Jiangbei, but it coincided with the return of the Son of Heaven to the western capital of the Chan State and the feudal state, and the princes of the world were waiting for the changes in the world and suspended the matter of the sword soldiers.

The specific military information obtained by Sun Quanjun is that Zhang Xiujun only brought his subordinates under Gao Shun and Zhang Xun, among the four major generals, on this expedition, while Zhang Liaobu and Ji Lingbu were on standby. Among the four major generals, only the Ji Ling Department was stationed in Jiangdong, bordering the Sun family. And Gao Shun and Zhang Xun were both stationed in Jiangbei.

These days, Ji Ling's army did not have any unusual movements, and Gao Shun and Zhang Xun's troops had to cross the river first if they wanted to attack Yuzhang and Jingnan. And now Chen Gong has given the plan, so that Zhou Yu led the naval army in the center of Pengze Lake to put on a posture of blocking the river, but it made Jiang Qin, the governor of the Sun family's naval division on the opposite bank, suspect that Zhou Yu was covering Gao Shun and Zhang Xun's troops to cross the river behind, so the whole army of the water village attacked.

You must know that because Zhang Xiujun occupies Jiangdong, there are many Jindu downstream for Zhang Xiujun to choose to cross the river. And if Zhang Xiujun's hundreds of thousands of horse infantry troops were allowed to calmly cross the Yangtze River and attack Pengze and other water ports along the river to the west, Wu's naval divisions would definitely be wiped out under the attack of Zhang Xiujun's naval ships and infantry troops.

Because he didn't expect Zhang Xiujun to wait so much and launched a war against his own family, Jiang Qin didn't have time to wait for the command of Sun Quan and Wu Guo's ministers. When the soldiers are outside, they will be used as they come. Rather than suffering from the enemy on the back of the abdomen, it is better to fight to the death to fight for a way out.

Looking at the approaching Wu warships, Situ Huaxin, who had been in the Sun clan for a period of time before, arched his hand towards Zhang Xiu and said: "The Sun clan had Jiangdong warships before, defeated Huang Zu and annexed many Jiangxia warships, and now they have received Zhang Xian's Changsha navy, so since the strength of the Wu army's sailors is not under our army." And that Jiang Qin, who was a water thief in his early years, crisscrossed the Yangtze River, and later conquered everywhere from Sun Ce, and was a rare general of the navy. He is also skilled in archery, and the king should ask Zhou Dudu to be more careful, and don't let him get too close! ”

In the end, Hua Xin, who is the head of a dragon, is strategic, and this suggestion directly shows the risks and unexpected variables of the Chu army's battle.

Without waiting for Zhang Xiu to speak, Liu Ye, a servant of the Chu State on the side, first smiled at Hua Xin and said: "What Hua Situ said, the king has already expected and arranged accordingly!" ”

Zhang Xiu looked at Hua Xin and Liu Ye with a satisfied expression: "What Hua Situ said is very true, that Jiang Qin Gu Wang has heard a little, and he is a good hand with a flowing water war bow and archery technique." And Gong Jin is Lone's number one Confucian general, and it is necessary to avoid its edge. It's just that Gongjin is so strong and wants to save face, and it is inconvenient for him to bend his sharpness. Isn't Jiang Gongyi good at shooting, so Gu arranged for a person who was good at shooting to help, but he wanted to see if it was the Sun family's archers who were good at shooting or Lone's shooters who were strong. ”

Seeing Liu Ye and Zhang Xiu's prepared expressions, Hua Xin suddenly remembered that Liu Ye and Jiang Qin were fellow villagers, both from Lujiang County, so they naturally knew Jiang Qin better than themselves, and I was afraid that Liu Ye had already suggested to Zhang Xiu to deal with Jiang Qin before.

Over there, Liu Ye also had doubts in his heart, and he originally wanted to take the initiative to remind Jiang Qin to Zhang Xiu. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Xiu said that he was ready to worry about it anymore, and just asked himself some of Jiang Qin's past deeds on the Yangtze River as a matter of fun.

While everyone was talking, the front of Zhang Xiujun's warship in front of him was already in battle with Wu's naval warship.

The first to collide was the conflict between the two sides. These mid-sized ships are long, narrow and fast, and have a stiff spike-shaped protrusion at the bow, which is often used to ram enemy ships and fight in close combat. It is one of the types of warships with the highest attrition rate.

Zhou Yu, who was in command of a giant fighting ship at the front, saw the opportunity and gave an order, and then the drums of the march were beaten, and the Chu army who received the order immediately hung up their sails and rushed towards the Wu warship.

In a short time, hundreds of ships of the two armies collided on the vast river. Because the design of the warships is much the same, the bow is stiff and the hull is narrow and fragile, so the result of colliding at full speed is naturally survival of the fittest. Large tonnage knocks over, small tonnage, and the ship structure is sturdy, and the structure of the collision frame ship is old and old. There are also some exceptions, some of the helmsmen who are rushing out of the way of the bow of the ship have caused their own hull to be directly hit by the bow of the opponent's ship, and the result is often that the long and narrow ship is directly smashed in two......

It was early February and the wind was still blowing northerly. Before this battle, Zhang Xiu's staff and strategists who knew astronomy and geography and the officials of the Taichang Temple Division Tianjian who accompanied the army had calculated the direction of the wind, so they took the initiative to attack and occupy the north and the southern Chu army had more time, and the direct result of these reflections on the battlefield was that the Wu army and the Chu army warships of the same tonnage and the same degree of solidity collided head-on, and it was often the Chu army that took advantage.

Although it is said that the Chu army did not take much advantage in the end, and it was only a dozen or so Mengchong Rash Raids less than the Wu army, but you must know that the current strength of the naval divisions of Chu and Wu is basically equal, and even because of the quality of the naval soldiers, the Chu army is still slightly weaker. In this case, the slight advantage gained by either side can become the key to the final victory of the party.

Meng Chong was followed by large warships and fighting ships. The so-called fighting ship is a warship specially designed for water fighting. The battering ship has a stable center of gravity bottom structure, and the side of the ship is built with a half-height female wall, and a half-height hollow is opened under the female wall for the oars to be placed in it. On the deck, a one-story shed was built five feet from the side of the ship, with arrow-hole muzzles. There is also a half-height female wall on the shed, which can be used as soldiers.

The threat to the fighting ship after the loss of speed and impact is very small, because there is a difference in height, and the crossbowmen on the fighting ship are condescending. And if the soldiers on Meng Chong choose to climb the ship with hooking, the perfect spear defense on the fighting ship will teach him to be a man.

Fortunately, most of the Mengchong warships were also double-layered, protected by small cabins, and still did not be slaughtered by the sailors of the fighting ships. The next step is to take advantage of the opportunity to fight with each other, and take a bite of the opportunity to make a great achievement.

All of a sudden, the arrows on the river were flying wildly, the sound of warships colliding with warships, the sound of wood breaking, and the screams of soldiers on both sides falling into the water became the main scenery of Pengze Lake.

Lou Chuan is usually the last to join the battle group, or many times there is no need to squeeze into it. Because it is really large and towering, and the offensive and defensive facilities are perfect and there are many soldiers, this kind of warship is difficult to be destroyed or captured in the water warfare of this era, and it is generally symbolic, and the number of floors and the height of the building ship symbolize the country's military strength. At most, it is to use the stone throwers and crossbow machines placed on the building ships to provide medium and long-range support to the front line.

The five-story ship on which Zhang Xiu was riding was equipped with a large stone thrower and several medium-sized stone throwers, and after getting close to the battle group, he began to throw fire oil cans and stones at the dense concentration of Wu army's warships in the distance opposite. It seems that the posture is sufficient, but the actual results are general. On the one hand, the accuracy of the stone thrower in this era is inaccurate, and the combat on the water is even more unstable. As a result, dozens of cans of fire oil and hundreds of stones were projected, but less than ten hits, or in the downwind situation, the hit rate was less than one percent.

Fortunately, the results of these ten smashed out are not bad. A tank of fire oil directly burned a Wu Jun Meng rushed soldiers had to abandon the ship and jump into the water, and another can was directly poured on the deck of a Wu army fighting ship, although the fire oil cloth accident did not ignite the fire oil, but fortunately, the Chu army's crossbowmen made up a few arrow-tied rockets in time, igniting this can of fire oil, but it was directly burned on the Wu army fighting ship more than a dozen sailors and sailors were covered with fire.

As for the other stones, they also killed and injured many Wu soldiers, and even smashed through the deck of a Wu army fighting ship, causing it to leak. In addition, the hull of two Mengchong ships was smashed.

Jiang Qin, the commander of the Wu army's naval division, was hiding under a shipwreck at the moment, his eyes glaring at a large fighting ship flying the battle flag of the Chu army in front of him.

A quarter of an hour ago, it was the commander of this fighting ship who ordered his crossbowmen to shoot rockets to ignite a main fighting ship of the self-army, resulting in a great loss of combat power of the fighting ship, and then was rushed by the Chu army to get the opportunity, and the sailors of the Chu army took the opportunity to board the ship for close combat, and then more and more Chu army ships surrounded it, and this fighting ship of the self-army was controlled by the Chu army.

The gains and losses of a fighting ship certainly can't arouse Jiang Qin's anger, and Jiang Qin is angry that the commander of the giant fighting ship of the Chu army himself.
