Lower reaches of Hanjin, tributary.

At this time, Xun looked over and saw that on the river where night was approaching, more than a thousand Jingzhou armor soldiers wearing battle armor were slowly controlling fighting ships, ships and other ships to the north.

The target is directed at the port of Hanjin.

And now, a strong man with a serious face, eight feet long, and a bear's waist, was standing on the deck of a fighting ship, his eyes solemn, staring closely at the tributary of the voyage.

The mind is also extremely restless!

This person, if you look closely, is the younger brother of Zhao Lei, Zhao Zhong, who was personally promoted by Guan Ping to the temporary governor of Qianren.

"Is this strategy really feasible for the young general?"

After thinking for a while, Zhao Zhong couldn't help but look back, looking at the light boats behind him, his thoughts couldn't help but wander.

These more than 100 light boats, at this moment, the hull is piled with a lot of dry firewood, and watered with fire oil.

This is exactly the fireship used to break the port of Hanjin.

As early as before, when Shiren openly rebelled, on the way back to defend Jiangling, Deng Ai sensed that something was wrong and quickly rushed to offer advice.

He said: "Major General, in Ai's opinion, now that our army's barrier and public security have been lost, then our army will have no choice but to stick to the isolated city of Jiangling and wait for the main force of the prince to come back." ”

"However, Hanjin Port is the only place to pass through the north to Nanjun, if Hanjin is lost, the prince will be blocked from the north of the river and will not be able to return to help."

"Secondly, our army has lost the port of public security, if the port of Hanjin is captured one after another, then on the Yangtze River, our army's naval division will be useless in the future, and the Jiangdong naval army will be able to use the naval division to swim on the surface of the Yangtze River for the purpose of taking full control of the port, and look down on us at any time."

"At that time, even if our army holds Jingzhou without loss, but loses the convenience of the port, it will only be a lamb to be slaughtered, not to mention the Northern Expedition, even if it maintains daily supplies will be a problem."

"The Jiangdong Navy Division can land from any port and attack the cultivation of our army's organization, but our army, which lacks a port, is helpless against them!"

"Over time, Jingzhou will be lost."

It was under the mention of Deng Ai's words that Guan Ping suddenly became enlightened and suddenly woke up.

At first, although he thought that Hanjin was an important land, he didn't think so.

It wasn't until Deng Ai's explanation that Guan Ping realized the importance of Hanjin Port to his side.

Therefore, it is precisely because of thinking that we can act.

Then, after the discussion between Guan Ping and Deng Ai, it was finally finalized that Zhao Zhong, the governor of a thousand people, would lead the army to the north of Hanjin Port at night, which also led to the spy sent by Shiren and learned that the Jingzhou army did not return to Jiangling, but approached Hanjin on the whole line.

In fact, Guan Ping had already quietly led the main force to land in Wulin Port halfway through, passing through Yunmengze, Huarong Road and other places, and hiding on the outskirts of Jiangling City.

Then, he deliberately released the news of the Wu army's large-scale attack, and his army had already gone to the road to defend Hanjin Port, thus pulling out the rebel generals in the city who were not strong-willed, greedy for life and afraid of death, and intended to collude with the Wu army.

Break Hanjin with a fireboat.

This was also planned by Guan Ping in advance, and after ordering Zhao Zhong to enter Hanjin Port, he gathered the original defenders of the port, and began to collect all the things that caused fire, and cleared the wilderness, and gathered all his ships in advance.

Of course, Guan Ping and Deng Ai did not dare to guarantee that the Wu army would definitely choose to attack Hanjin, so Zhao Zhong chose the opportunity to act.

It was based on this that Zhao Zhong was densely packed with scouts, monitoring the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and when he learned that Lu Xun led thousands of sailors to attack, he decisively adopted the strategy of Guan Ping and led the whole army to withdraw in advance.

Eventually, an empty port will be handed over!

Then, next, Guan Yu led the main force to arrive, and when he heard the news of the loss of the port, he was furious and led the main force to fight fiercely with the Wu army on the river.

This is the reason why the fierce battle on the Jingzhou Navy River has not been able to open the situation for a long time, but the confrontation has continued.

In fact, as early as the beginning, when Zhao Zhong evacuated the port in advance, he had secretly arranged for his henchmen to go to Jiangbei and wait for Guan Yu's main force to return to defense.

Then, tell Guan Ping's strategy truthfully.

It was after gaining insight into this series of serial schemes that in the past few days, Guan Yu had ordered Liao Hua to return to the land route with 10,000 elite infantry soldiers and rush to Jiangling first.

And he himself continued to camp here and fought fiercely with the Wu army.

In the past few days, the Jingzhou army has been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to break through these thousands of Wu troops.

This is the east wind tonight.

The so-called fire borrows the wind to set fire on the surface of the river, and it is necessary to borrow external forces to achieve the best effect of the fire strategy.

And this external force is the wind.

After all, the wind and waves on the river are beyond imagination.

If the party that set fire to the fire does not have the advantage of tailwind, then even if the fire strategy is ultimately successful, it will only be like a mirror and will not set off the slightest storm.

Only by taking advantage of the tailwind to make it difficult to effectively control the fire, and quickly spread to the surrounding area, is the right way.

This is also why in the battle of Chibi back then, after Zhou Lang and others formulated a strategy to break Cao, they were secretly waiting for the opportunity and did not set fire without authorization.

This also shows that the wind borrows the momentum of fire, not just talk.

Of course, now it has already entered the cold and long winter, the north wind is strong, often whistling on the river, on the other hand, the east wind has long been silent, almost half a month, can blow a southeast wind.

Moreover, this is only a small probability, not an absolute one!

Even, many times, throughout the winter, there is not a single east wind, which is extremely normal.

From this, it can also be seen that the Battle of Chibi is really the luck of the Sun and Liu coalition forces, and the heavens have poured out their help to Zhou Langcheng for immortality!

And this time, although Guan Ping planned this strategy, he could only rely on the heavens to blow an east wind to help his army break the enemy.

In the romance, Zhuge Liang used the east wind to say that he was clever, it is better to say that Kong Ming is better at observing the way of astronomy and geography, and has lived in Jingzhou for decades, so he is more familiar with the local weather environment, and has long been familiar with the laws of weather changes.

Back here, it is obvious that if the east wind does not appear within ten days, then Guan Yu's army will definitely lack food, and at that time, the Jingzhou army will only have one way to withdraw its troops, and from then on the Yangtze River will be handed over.

After all, when the north wind is raging, rashly launching a fire attack from the downstream is probably playing with fire and self-immolation, and the enemy will not burn it, but burn itself.

Anyone understands this.

Fortunately, the Jingzhou army waited for several days, and the heavens finally lived up to it, and a strong east wind fell today.

Standing on the deck of a multi-story fighter, Zhao Zhong looked at the riverbank and felt the thick and biting east wind raging, not only did he not feel the biting cold wind at all, but his heart was full of fire.

"Today, I will regard it as an immortal achievement and leave a name in history!"

At this moment, Zhao Zhong's face showed a resolute look, his fists were clenched, and he groaned.

Yes, the achievement of immortality is the most desired thing in the hearts of the battlefield generals!

Who can resist the temptation of fame and fortune and have the opportunity to become famous, and who wants to miss it?

Zhao Zhong, although he is only a middle-level general in the army, is also resolute in his heart, eager to make contributions and become famous in the world.

Although even if this battle is finally won, most of the credit will be attributed to coach Guan Yu, but the generals who participated in this battle will inevitably become famous.

Just like the Battle of Chibi, although it was Zhou Lang's work, the Jiangdong generals who participated in the war also became famous.

There are thousands of thoughts, as the river breeze gradually dissipates in the river.

Night falls!

But now, in the north of Hanjin, the fierce battle is still the same.

The sound of the two sides fighting still resounded around the river.

At this time, the scout in charge of the investigation also returned with the boat, and said: "Governor Zhao, we have already spied clearly, and the garrison of Wu in the port is extremely weak. ”

"The main forces of the Wu army are all gathered on the northern front line and fight fiercely with the main forces of the princes."

The voice fell.

"Good!"

When the words fell, Zhao Zhong's face suddenly changed, and he shouted.

"Tonight is destined to be an immortal achievement for our army!"

"The whole army obeyed the order, and the fireship moved forward again, covering the advance."

"Close to Hanjin Port, light the fire."

"Today, I will burn down the port of Hanjin and destroy the Wu army."
