Chapter 174: Tianxing Continent

When Sun Quan arrived on Jiangzhu, Zhuge Jin had already led people to arrange the curtain in Zhushou, and when Sun Quan came, there were three curtains and flags.

From here, it can be seen that the Wang Ling division of the Wei army in yellow clothes is crossing the water on a pontoon bridge, and Hu Zong's department is camped on the east bank of the river, while there are still light infantry carrying wood from the east bank to the west bank.

Sun Lin, the son of Sun Ben, explained: "This step by step is a battalion strategy, and by the afternoon, our army can build two barracks on the west bank, even if the battle is not smooth, it is difficult for the enemy to break through." ”

Sun Quan looked to the northwest, where thick smoke had risen, and asked with a smile, "Where are the fireworks?" ”

"It should be the enemy's suspicion that the soldiers are setting up smoke, intending to hinder our army's bows and crossbows. The enemy has more than 20,000 troops, and there are more than 10,000 bows and crossbows on the front line of our army. ”

Sun Lin continued: "Yesterday, Wei Fenwei's general Deng Zhan's unit was killed, and most of the heads, armor, and equipment were captured by the enemy. The corpse of the dead of the Wei army was thrown into the river by that person, and this person was seriously injured and was about to die, so he acted perversely and did not care for the living beings. ”

"Is that so?"

Sun Quan was surprised, looked back at the river, and frowned: "I heard that Deng Zhanbu was overthrown, and the generals were beheaded?" ”

"Yes, the enemy rode fiercely, and after breaking Deng Zhan's department, he pursued for two miles, and the Wei sergeant Wu Duo was killed."

Sun Lin's expression was solemn: "The governor is afraid that the enemy will ride into battle, so he will take every step as a strategy, and set up two fences in the west of Lishui fifteen miles at noon, and another one twenty-five miles away at dusk." Besieged the enemy's Hankou camp, and when the southeast wind rose at night, they set fire to their camp. ”

"That's a great idea."

Sun Quan stroked his beard and admired, and smiled: "Destroy Liu Bei this day, and it is time for our army to prosper!" ”

He stroked his palms and chuckled, pacing left and right, pointing to the Jiangzhu sandbar under his feet and saying, "Pass the Gu order, order this place to be Tianxingzhou, and place Wuxingting." ”

Sun Lin laughed, and after Sun Quan's mood stabilized, he said: "The army on the south bank of the enemy crossed the river on a reed raft last night, and lost their armor and was extremely embarrassed. ”

At this time, Zhuge Jin came: "Supreme, after the order of Wang Ling, the assassin of Wei Yuzhou, and Xue Yi, the protector, the commander of the Ding Sai Navy was ordered to come forward to help in the war. ”

The Dunsai sailors always paddled behind Jiang Qin, and the sentry boats of Jiang Qin's subordinates patrolled the river at night to salvage the bodies of the drowned Han soldiers, and the Dunsai sailors also salvaged some.

Anything can be faked, and the dead bodies of the Han army on the south bank who fled and drowned cannot be faked.

Sun Quan thought about it for a while, but nodded: "You can help in the war, you must obey Jiang Gongyi's moderation." ”

"Yes, the minister will convey it."

Zhuge Jin left quickly, and Sun Lin continued to explain: "The governor is worried that the water division is not Guan Yunchang's opponent, so he ordered the army to prepare more reed rafts, bamboo and wood, if he breaks his Hankou camp tonight, he will cross the Han River on a reed raft, divide his troops to attack Jiangling and Xiangyang, and take advantage of the emptiness of Jingzhou to capture it in one fell swoop." ”

"Great! Righteous seal! ”

Sun Quan's eyes lit up: "Move the lonely umbrella to cover the righteous seal to inspire the soldiers!" ”

"Yes!"

On the battlefield on the river, Guan Yu sat on top of the Wuya battleship, the two wing battleship groups were set out, the battleships hovered between them, and the oil rafts were towed, ready to launch fire attack tactics at any time.

Yang Yi's group of warships close to the south bank waved the flag, passing it layer by layer, and Yang Yi was shocked after reading: "General, Xiakou is in a hurry, and the enemy He Qi, Buqi, and Sun Shao are leading the army to attack." Luo Hou was about to go out of the camp to meet the enemy, and the prison army Yuan could not stop. ”

Guan Yu just turned his head to look in the direction of Xiakou on the south bank, and could vaguely see signs of the Han army's flag moving, and he couldn't see anything clearly: "It's convenient to follow Luohou." ”

This is almost unavoidable, the main battlefield revolves around the Hankou battalion, Tian Xin has been increased one after another, how can Liu Feng of Xiakou on the south bank honestly defend according to the battalion?

According to Liu Feng's character, it is almost inevitable to take the initiative to attack, and it is useless to send anyone to be the prison army, unless someone dares to enforce military law to kill Liu Feng.

The officials who participated in the war on the north bank were not convinced, and the officials of Liu Feng's department on the south bank were naturally not convinced.

Guan Yu just glanced at it lightly and commented noncommittally, and Yang Yi had no choice but to restrain her emotions.

Immediately, Yang Yi said: "General, the Wu army on the north bank has alternated one after another, and our army is even better. ”

Guan Yu glanced sideways slightly: "I'll take a break, Jiang Qinshui will make a move, and then call me." ”

"Uh......"

Yang Yi sneered: "Yes, obey the order." ”

The Han army was in charge of the tower, and Zong pre squatted on it to observe from the gap, and from time to time there were light arrows fired by the Wu army from the vicinity of the command tower.

"Prince, the one who rides a horse in the middle of the enemy's right is Quan Cong."

"The one who is riding a red horse in embroidered robes and golden armor in the three formations on the left of the enemy is Pan Zhang!"

"The enemy is in the middle of the rear line to command the crossbowmen, and the one who hangs the water green robe is the veteran general Han Dang!"

Tian Xin stood on the chariot and turned his head to Li Yan and asked, "What is the intention of the enemy archers to launch light arrows?" ”

Feng Xi's department has begun to smoke, and the northwest wind is blowing, just in time to smoke the Wu army's crossbowman array.

Li Yan also wore a face armor honestly, inserted two light arrows in his chest, and stood still: "I don't know, it should be a temptation, with the intention of intimidating our army generals." ”

In addition to shooting far and killing and scaring unarmored light soldiers, Tian Xin couldn't think of any other role.

Li Yan looked up at the smoke that was rising and spreading: "The wind direction is clear, and the prince should be wary of the Jiangdong crossbow." ”

At this time, the commander of the tower shouted: "Prince! Enemy crossbowmen array advances! Its strong crossbow is in front, perhaps it is intended for the prince! ”

"Sure enough, I tried firing."

Tian Xin raised his right hand: "The crossbowmen are on standby, listen to the command." ”

Each of the six thousand squares came out of a long-range phalanx, and each array had nearly seven hundred crossbowmen, which was enough for four thousand crossbowmen.

The archers of the Wu army still fired light arrows, and the light arrows became more and more dense, and from time to time unarmored crossbowmen were shot, screaming and crouching on the ground.

Shangzong of the command tower pre-referenced the width of the arrays near and far to calculate the position of the crossbowmen moving forward by the Wu army: "The enemy is one hundred and twenty paces away, there are about 4,000 people, and they are reorganizing the queue, and there is no armor!" ”

"The enemy is one hundred and twenty paces away!"

The military officials shouted to convey the direction, and the crossbowmen who came out of the battle adjusted their elevation angles under the command of the military officers, and raised red flags one after another to show that they were ready.

Zong foresaw that the Wu Jun crossbowmen were also adjusting the angle of fire after standing still, and hurriedly shouted: "Fa! Arrows! ”

More than 4,000 people of the Han army fired a salvo in the first round, saying that it was a salvo, and it took two or three seconds for each formation to complete the release.

Just two or three seconds later, these crossbow arrows and arrows slashed over the front lines of the two armies and fell into the line of crossbowmen of the Wu army.

Han Dang in the rear shouted: "Withdraw!" Evacuate! ”

The four thousand crossbowmen continued to raise the angle of fire, and the crossbow arrows flew out of the air with their backs, and under the impetus of the northwest wind, they exceeded the normal distance of thirty or forty paces, and they all fell on the crossbowman line and the archer line.

Each round of shooting can hit more than 100 people, and after ten rounds of shooting, the Wu army's crossbowman array is completely chaotic, and there is a scream.

"Prince, the knight has left the camp."

"Slowly approach the battlefield and let Feng Xi create thick smoke."

Tian Xin raised his hand as he spoke, casually pulled out a light arrow stuck in his chest, picked it up and looked at it, and discarded it casually.

On the command tower, Zong Yu shouted: "Junhou, the Wu army and the Wei army are jointly attacking!" ”

Immediately afterwards, he saw the phalanx of Wei infantry with yellow banners and uniforms appear behind Pan Zhang: "The Wei infantry appeared in three formations on the left flank, no less than 10,000 people!" ”
