On Dongting Lake.

"King Wu. The enemy general Guan Ping is treacherous, and our army cannot pursue it, so as not to fall into his plan by mistake. ”

The ships of Wu and Han were chasing back and forth between Dongting Lake at the moment, Rao was a superior of Sun Quancheng's mansion, but after suffering from Guan Ping's verbal humiliation, he still couldn't hold back after all, and he tried to encircle and annihilate the Jingzhou army with the advantage of his own strong troops.

But Guan Ping is also a person!

There is no direct engagement with the Wu Army's naval division.

The various divisions of the direct detachment of the naval division used the speed of vehicles and ships to fight and retreat along the shore of Dongting Lake near Xiangshui, without giving the Wu people any chance to surround them.

The speed advantage of the vehicle and ship is fully reflected at this time.

The Wu warship, which was still rowing with oars, was already at a disadvantage when pursuing against the current.

At this moment, seeing that Guan Ping did not have the slightest idea of engaging in battle, the Jingzhou Navy Division could not pursue it, and Lu Xun was thoughtful, as if he was deliberately mobilizing himself to leave the water camp.

Therefore, he immediately reported the matter to Sun Quan.

"King Wu. For unknown reasons, the warships of the Jingzhou Navy Division sailed far faster than our warships, and Guan Ping did not engage in any battles but only relied on the advantage of the speed of the warships to mobilize us, I am afraid that he deliberately moved on to our army's water camp. ”

As Lu Xun put forward his guess, Sun Quan, the king of Wu, was originally pursuing out of anger, but now he also felt more and more that something was wrong, so he also agreed with Lu Xun's guess, and immediately drew his sword and raised it high, ordering all departments to stop the pursuit and slowly retreat.

Merely.

Since Wu Jun was lured out, how could he let them leave safely?

Seeing that the Wu people gave up the pursuit of their own army, Guan Ping in front was also dressed in a strong suit, holding a saber and shouting: "All departments turn the hull of the ship and follow the Wu people to bite the enemy fiercely." ”

At this moment, the situation reversed again, and there was a dramatic scene, the strong Wu people's naval division, and countless warships sailing on the lake were chased by more than a thousand warships of the Jingzhou army.

But the more Guan Ping did this, the more Sun Quan concluded in his heart: "This is the Jingzhou army's strategy of delay, and we must not delay time. ”

The plan has been decided.

Although the Jingzhou Navy Division wantonly harassed later, Sun Quan, who was worried about the situation on the water camp, did not dare to turn around and face the battle, so as not to lose the water camp, but instead gave the enemy an opportunity to attack from both sides [for a long time].

It's just that, looking at Sun Quan's response, Guan Ping in the back is not worried but happy, as if he has a face under control.

This was where the two armies began to chase.

However, the speed of the Jingzhou Navy's vehicles and ships was too fast, and if they hadn't deliberately slowed down several times, they might have crashed into it directly.

It was about half a ring.

Wu Ren saw that the rudiments of the water camp could be vaguely seen in front of them, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they looked at the front but the people were still peaceful and peaceful.

Tranquility indicates that the water camp is unhindered, and if the war continues, that is what will happen.

"King Wu. The Jingzhou army, which was following the pursuit of our army, is now nowhere to be found. ”

At this moment, Liuzan, the general in charge of guarding the rearguard against the assault of the Jingzhou army, suddenly came by light boat to pray.

"Oh?"

After a word, the generals and King Sun Quan of Wu all consciously turned around and looked at the rear, where were there still ships and other fighting ships on the faint river, only patches of thick fog and river wind!

"This ...... Why did Guan Ping leave suddenly? ”

For a while, looking at the strange abnormality of the enemy army, and then thinking of Guan Ping's use of soldiers, it was always elusive, which made people confused, and they couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

But the water camp is safe.

As Sun Quan ordered all the armies to withdraw to the water camp as soon as possible, they were ready to discuss the matter of continuing to storm Baqiu, but they did not want to continue to waste it here.

"Bang bang bang!"

But in the next second, the Wu army's warship moved forward only about a hundred meters, but it invariably made a loud noise, and this sound happened to come from the bottom of the ship.

"What the hell is going on at the bottom of the boat?"

A moment of anger suddenly swept through his body, causing Sun Quan to shout angrily.

Immediately after, a group of Wu soldiers and soldiers immediately took a light boat holding a few meters long and stabbed under the river to investigate the situation.

After half ringing.

Wu general Song Qian quickly handed over his hand to report: "Qi Qi Wu Wang." According to the investigation led by the last general, the reason why our warships made a loud noise was because small boats were sunk under the river, blocking the navigation of warships. ”

As soon as this word fell, the generals were terrified.

But the next moment, Lu Xun seemed to understand something, his face changed instantly, and he said anxiously: "The enemy army wants to attack with fire." ”

As soon as these words were shouted, there was a sudden change.

The upstream side suddenly burst into flames, and through the river fog, there were light boats covered with dry firewood, sulfur and other ignited things, and the fire was gradually making up for the burning and moving forward.

Because Dongting Lake flows into Hunan water, and at this moment, the upstream side is the direction in which Guan Ping led his troops to flee, and it happens to be the Yangtze River crossing leading to Jiangling.

At this moment, the fire was very fierce, but the most fatal thing was that a gust of wind blew.

It is a north wind, which is the most common north wind in Jiangnan during the winter season in November.

With the help of the north wind, the light boats sailed several times faster, and gradually approached the warship where the Wu Jun's sailors were located.

Seeing the fireships getting closer and closer like an unstoppable arrow from the string, the Wu soldiers on the ships were suddenly frightened, with a look of fear on their faces.

Among the more than 100,000 people, most of the veterans were soldiers who had followed the governor of the year, Zhou Yu, to defeat Cao Cao in the Chibi fire, and they were all too familiar with what would happen if the warship suffered a blazing fire on the river.

What's more, now their ship has been covered with light boats, which has caused the ship to run aground and cannot sail back to the water camp.

The way back is broken!

They could only watch as the fires upstream took advantage of the wind to become more and more fierce.

But they couldn't resist it!

Originally a resilient ship, the human wall defense line formed by the Wu army was fragile and vulnerable in the endless sea of fire.

One by one, the fireships broke through the Wu army's defense line and began to spread among the warships.

Bursts of fire and thick smoke suddenly rose into the sky, changing the color of the sky and making the sky around Dongting Lake a red color.

And the lake was filled with heart-rending roars.

Looking through the thick smoke, the bodies of the soldiers of Wu were set on fire, all of them were lying on the deck, rolling over and over with the intention of extinguishing the flames, and some even jumped directly into the river......

And at this moment on the shore of the lake in the distance.

Guan Ping hung his saber at his waist, and there were many generals beside him, calmly staring at the sea of fire in front of him, half loud, and couldn't help revealing a happy smile, and said: "Just wait for this battle to pass, and the more than ten thousand people in Jiangdong will no longer exist!" ”

"At this point, the Yangtze River will be under the control of our army."

From the time he received that Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong, accepted the canonization of Emperor Cao Pi of Wei as King Wu, added Jiuxi and personally commanded more than 100,000 people to attack from the west, Guan Ping vaguely felt that this might be a crisis or opportunity for his side.

If you can survive and defeat these more than 100,000 people, then the threat from the downstream Sun clan will no longer exist!

According to the reply of the secret guard who was installed, these more than 100,000 people were almost recruited by Sun Quan with the strength of the country, and during this period, not only the veterans of a hundred battles in Jiangdong over the years, but also the young and strong people in the territory.

Taking into account the general factors, Guan Ping did not sit in Baqiu in time to control the situation after he hurriedly went north, but discussed with his staff to plan today's feat.

The fire burned Dongting Lake, and today's fire will bury more than 100,000 elite people in Jiangdong in one fell swoop.

This fire is even no less than the fire of Chibi under the command of Zhou Yu, who was dominant.

Merely.

This move Guan Ping also has an element of gambling.

In winter, the south of the Yangtze River is rich in north winds, so Guan Ping will lead the Wu army to the direction of Jiangling at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then set fire to it!

If a strong wind suddenly falls from the sky in Jiangdong, and today the southeast wind suddenly blows like the former Chibi, then I am afraid that it is the Jingzhou army that will suffer now.

God help me!

This also heralded the beginning of the counterattack of the Jingzhou army.
