Chapter 1075: Seeing through Zhou Gongjin's clever plan
The river, bordered by a fist-sized rocky beach.
There are also a few boulders.
You don't need to search, you can see everything when you stand here and look at it, not to mention thousands of people, hundreds of people, even a bird, there is no place to hide.
Zhao Yun had already sent more men again, advancing along the shallow rocky beach, all the way to the rocky hill, and explored the road within ten miles over and over again.
Except for encountering Sun Ce's scouts, nothing else was found.
Before arriving at the rocky hill, there were no ambushes at all within these ten miles of road.
Even those Sun Ce scouts encountered, the two sides looked at each other, and then the other party retreated directly.
More than a thousand scouts probed back and forth several times, but found nothing.
Jia Xu held a telescope in his hand, and through the lens, he was able to see farther.
The scenery from miles away, as if in front of you, can be seen clearly.
Even if he stood in Jia Xu's position, more than three miles away from the other side of the river, but through the telescope, he could clearly see the trunks of the big trees on the other side of the river.
You can even watch the birds fly out of the woods.
The rocky beach in front of you, as well as the river, are nothing to see.
Jia Xu looked through the telescope and looked across the river.
The telescope in his hand can be magnified almost ten times.
Zhou Yu and the others are hiding on the other side of the river at the moment.
But Zhou Yu and the others hid in the forest by the river. Even if Jia Xu is looking forward to the telescope, it is not so easy to find Zhou Yu.
But Jia Xu looked very carefully.
The river and the rocky beach, what to see.
Using the binoculars, Jia Xu could also directly see Sun Ce's army on the rocky hill from here.
His main focus now is on the other side of the river.
Jia Xu looked very slowly and carefully.
Zhao Yun was also holding a telescope in his hand, and he was also looking at it carefully.
"Strategist, do you want to send a few people to the other side to have a look?" Zhao Yun proposed.
"However, even if Zhou Yu is ambushing on the other side, even if they use gunpowder to attack, the impact on us will not be very great."
Zhao's army passed through a shallow rocky beach and threw gunpowder from the other side of the river, a distance of about a mile.
Indeed, it is possible to throw a clay pot filled with gunpowder and throw it here using a catapult.
But Zhao Jun can run.
This area is so big, just leave quickly.
And on the other side of the river, there is no shadow of a catapult yet.
There is no catapult, and it is basically impossible to use manpower to throw the clay pot from the opposite side.
The pots will fall directly into the river.
"Wait a minute, Zilong, look there, what is that?"
Jia Xu didn't move the binoculars, moved his head away, and let Zhao Yun's eyes align with the lenses.
"This, this seems to be a catapult." After Zhao Yun glanced at it, he determined the location, and he used the telescope in his hand to look at it carefully for a while.
The catapult was located in the woods on the opposite bank, but it was not very deep, and there was just a small part of it, peeking out from behind a tree trunk.
If it weren't for Jia Xu's careful looking, it would be really easy to ignore it.
"It seems that Zhou Yu is on the other side." Jia Xu said.
Zhao Yun said: "However, if Zhou Yu is ambushed on the other side of the river, what is the use?" How many catapults does he have in his hands? ”
If a bombardment, just a few or a dozen clay pots bombarded over, it would not be enough to destroy the Zhao army on the other side of the river.
Jia Xu said: "What if there is gunpowder buried under this rocky beach? ”
Catapults on the other side of the river can detonate all the gunpowder underground if they can fire a clay pot and fall into the rocky beach.
Zhao Yun was shocked, if this was the case, 50,000 people would really be wiped out in an instant.
After seeing the hidden catapult on the other side of the river, Jia Xu figured everything out.
This seems to be the most unlikely ambush on the rocky beach, which is the place Zhou Yu chose.
Zhou Yu gave up the canyon because he knew that it was too obvious and Zhao Jun would be on guard.
And Sun Ce, who was in the rocky hills, came out of Linhai City openly, just to attract his attention and let him ignore the place in front of him.
Zhao Yun immediately asked people to go over and check.
Although Zhou Yu hid the gunpowder when he buried it, it didn't seem to change much on the surface, but the gunpowder was not sold deeply.
A few soldiers dug a foot down, and then saw the buried gunpowder, and immediately took it out and gave it to Zhao Yun.
"Sure enough, as the gentleman said, gunpowder was really buried here."
Just thinking about it now, Zhao Yun felt his scalp tingle.
If, he really took 50,000 soldiers and set foot on the rocky beach just now.
Now he may be dead.
"General, there's gunpowder all under the rocky beach."
Zhou Yu didn't just bury a little, almost all of the gunpowder under the entire rocky beach.
"It's too ruthless."
More and more gunpowder was placed in front of Zhao Yun and Jia Xu.
"Strategist, do you still want to send someone to the other side of the river?" Zhao Yundao.
Jia Xu shook his head: "It's just such a small boat, it's useless to send a few people over." And Zhou Yu is estimated to have left. ”
Although Zhou Yu did not have a telescope in his hand, there was nothing to cover the rocky beach, and Zhou Yu could not see people's faces clearly, but 50,000 people stopped here and did not move, and Zhou Yu could also see it.
Zhou Yu was sure, especially when he saw a few soldiers walking back and forth on the rocky beach.
Zhou Yu should also understand that these soldiers were digging up the gunpowder he had buried underneath.
"I'm sending some more manpower to clean up all the gunpowder here as soon as possible." Jia Xu said.
If there was no one to clean up the buried gunpowder together, it would be no different from being ambushed by Zhou Yu.
Before Zhao Yun Jia Xu stopped in front of the rocky beach and did not move, Sun Ce's scouts also kept reporting back and forth.
Sun Ce, who was on the rocky hill, if he had a telescope in his hand, he could also see this side.
Ten miles away, the scout rode his war horse back and forth, and it didn't take half an hour.
Zhao Yunjia sent manpower, and in less than half an hour, he basically cleaned up the gunpowder buried under the stone.
Then he led the army and rushed directly towards the rocky hill.
When Zhao Yun and Jia Xu rushed to the Ranshi Gang, Zhou Yu had already come to the Ranshi Gang first.
"Bo Fu, retreat quickly, Zhao Jun did not ambush, he found gunpowder buried under the rocky beach, and it is being cleaned up."
When Zhou Yu came to Ranshigang, he was ready to let Sun Ce retreat together, retreat from Linhai, and they could continue to retreat to Jian'an.
As long as they don't die, as long as these 50,000 people are still in their hands and are not destroyed by Zhao Yun, they still have a chance.
"Gong Jin, I'm afraid it's too late." Sun Ce said.
Zhou Yu also left a stick of incense before Zhao Yun.
And he was on the other side of the river, and he made a slight detour, and then took a boat to the south bank.
When he returned to Ranshigang, Zhao Yun Jiaxu had already led a large army, and it was only five or six miles away from Ranshigang.
Before, Sun Ceke retreated a day in advance, and at that time there were still fifty miles away from Zhao's army.
He had plenty of time to retreat.
But now, the distance between the two sides is only five miles, and if you want to retreat to Jian'an, you may not run ten miles before you will be caught up by the Zhao army.
