Chapter Eighty-Five: Treading the River to Defeat the Enemy
"Yueyu captured Xiangyang? How easy is that! Zhang Xiu looked solemn and said in a deep voice.
Xu Shu pondered, and said after a long time: "Lord, I watched the sky yesterday night and saw the stars shining, which is really a sign of a clear sky, but there are many dewdrops on the plants outside the camp, according to Shu's perennial observation, this is caused by foggy days." ”
"As the old saying goes, ten fogs and nine sunny days, Shu asserts that tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, there will be fog on the Han River. Our army can use the ability of Tianmu to go down the river and attack Jingzhou Water Village. ”
Cui Jun nodded, "Yes, there is fog on the river all year round, I'm afraid this fog will not be small." The lord of Jun Wen has a Jiang pawn, and he can dive for half an hour with the help of utensils. ”
"In this way, the lord can dive into this river pawn first, shoot the river walkers, clippers, and abolish the eyes and ears of the enemy, so that before our army attacks the camp, Zhang Yun will be difficult to detect."
"When our army's sailors are killed, Zhang Yunding will be in chaos, and it will be difficult to set up the boat division, so that the Jingzhou sailors can be annihilated in one fell swoop, so that the control of the Han River will be owned by the lord."
After listening, Zhang Xiu nodded thoughtfully.
"Yuan Zhi, will there really be fog tomorrow?"
Xu Shu hugged his fists and said: "My lord, tomorrow the fog will not be far from ten, I think that this plan is feasible for Zhou Ping, Zhang Yun thought that our army would attack Jiangxia by surprise, and he would not be strictly guarded." ”
"Okay," Zhang Xiu was not an indecisive person, and immediately shouted: "Huang Zhong listens to the order, and you give orders to the three armies, the whole army is ready to go, and is ready to step on the river to break the enemy at any time." ”
"The last general commands." Huang Zhong should go down.
"Gan Ning obeyed the order, and the sailors under your command recuperated and recharged, and tomorrow they will take advantage of the fog to enter the river to destroy the enemy."
"The last general commands," Gan Ning said excitedly.
After a year, he finally has a place to play, he must play with style and reputation, so that he can have a place under Zhang Xiu.
…………
Early the next morning, on the edge of the Han River.
Looking at the fog on the river, Zhang Xiu smiled, the visibility of this fog was only twenty meters.
"Hehe, God help me."
Zhang Xiu laughed heartily, looking relaxed.
After speaking, his leader rode away on horseback, but it didn't take long for the warship to come slowly at the mouth of the river just now.
First of all were dozens of boats, each carrying twenty men, all dressed in tight frog suits, short daggers and steel crossbows, and carrying tin cans.
And after these dozens of boats, there are mighty boatmen, with hundreds of large and small ships, including three building ships, about four feet high.
On the boat, Zhang Xiu stood with his sword.
Behind him, Gan Ning and the others looked at the fog, but they showed excitement, and it was time to make contributions.
After a while, the warship sailed into the river.
Of course, this dense fog in the sky is really a headache, and the movement between various ships is a little clumsy, if it is not for the night vision device such a plug-in, no one dares to fight in the fog.
Unless all the warships are connected with iron locks, on this great river, before they get closer, it is estimated that they will disappear and lose their way.
At the same time, the warship outpost,
A walker wanders aimlessly.
"It's bad luck to patrol on this foggy day." A soldier said with disgust on his face.
"That's it, it's a ghost patrolling on this foggy day, could it be that Zhang Xiu can lead the army to fly over from Jiangxia?" Another soldier was rather speechless.
"Okay, don't talk about it." He Chang drank impatiently, he didn't want to come out to patrol, isn't it comfortable to brag and fart in the barracks? And this ghost weather is annoying to death.
Crash
There was a sound of water on the side of the ship.
Several people were curious about the probe, and their pupils shrank suddenly.
I saw a cold light flash, and then I only felt a sweetness in my throat, and the blood spurted out, and the vitality passed quickly.
Before the rest of the soldiers could come back to their senses, the boat suddenly tilted, and the soldiers on the boat flipped directly into the river.
At that moment, it was clear to them that it was an enemy attack.
But they couldn't shout, but they were all Jianghuai children, and the water was very good, and they hurriedly tread water after entering the water in a panic to ensure that they would not sink.
However, they only felt their bodies sinking, someone was dragging them under the water, and before they could struggle, they only felt a cold throat and brought out a blood flower.
Their limbs began to weaken, and they turned their heads to look at the group of people with empty eyes, no, they were not people, like water ghosts, although they could not see clearly, but this group of water ghosts was extremely fast.
Like a fish in the water, swinging its body.
Goodo,
The river water is turbid, but at this time there is a faint color of blood.
Scenes like this are staged from time to time on many river surfaces, where countless patrol boats have been overturned, shot, or fallen into the water and wiped their necks with short daggers.
For a long time, on the deck of the ship.
Zhang Xiu took the night vision device and looked at the Jingzhou Water Village hundreds of battles away, his eyebrows slowly stretched, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a trace of cruelty.
"Lord, how's it going?"
"If you are lax in defense, you can win with one blow."
Zhang Xiu swore and said, looking slightly excited.
"Order, order to go to the northwest side of the water village of the enemy camp and carry the drums to wait, and wait for the drums to break the enemy head-on, and the drums will be loud, confusing the morale of the army."
"In addition, after breaking the enemy head-on, the enemy will definitely flee in a panic, and when the time comes, I will shoot him with arrows from both sides, and I will never let go of a single person."
"No!" The deputy general on Gan Ning's side nodded in response.
"Order, mobilize the ships to the front, give me to break through the enemy's water village, and the fighting ships are behind, ready to rush into the camp at any time to break the enemy and kill people." Zhang Xiu arranged in a deep voice.
"No!" Gan Ning was excited.
He took a machete and retreated, as if he was going to board first, he didn't like to direct the battle on the ship, it was very boring, how could there be blood on the tip of the knife.
After a while, all parties were ready.
The distance of hundreds of zhang is not close, but for the water village that stretches for more than ten miles, it is not far.
At this time, several building ships broke down.
More than a dozen small catapults have been prepared, including sacks filled with fire oil.
Zhang Xiuli and on the deck, his eyes were deep, looking at the camp in the mist in the distance, he drew out his Xuanyu sword, and shouted: "The three armies listen to the order, kill me!! ”
As the words fell, the bonfire behind him fell, lit the oil, and then only heard the sound of the roar, and the fireballs flew out.
The fireball broke through the fog and headed straight for the enemy camp.
Clay pots fell, some sank into the river, but many more were hit on countless warships.
Suddenly, the oil splashed and ignited a raging fire.
As for the front of the warship, more than 100 ships had already rowed their oars desperately, and there was dry firewood and oil on the bow.
In the water village, many Jingzhou sailors were dumbfounded, and after being stunned for three breaths, they ran around, calling for firefighting.
"General, woe is woe."
General Zhang Yunbu came quickly, his face was full of panic and said urgently: "General, for some reason, the thief army suddenly touched the front of our army's water village, and the soldiers responded in a hurry, and it was already difficult to parry. ”
"What?" Zhang Yun pushed away Mei Ji in his arms and glared angrily, "Didn't Zhang Xiu go to attack Jiangxia?" Where did the thieves come from? Could it be that he will not be able to fly? ”
"I don't know the last general, but it looks like a water thief in Ganning." The general bowed his head and explained weakly, although there was information that Gan Ning colluded with Zhang Xiu, but no one took it seriously.
Of course, he was also very confused, he was beaten in a daze, and it was a foggy day, which was unheard of. I haven't heard of anyone daring to fight in such fog and water.
"Gan Ning? Hmph, even the water thieves dare to attack my camp, I really don't know whether to live or die, go, get my armor! Zhang Yun was angry and shouted in a deep voice.
He knows that the Han River must not be lost, this is the natural barrier of Xiangyang, if it changes hands, Xiangyang City is not allowed to let the enemy army come and go?
