Chapter Twenty-Five: Burning the Heart, Part I
The next day, the water thieves brought their families to Erlong Island.
There are 1,000 less, 3,000 more, and 30,000 in total, but many of them have not received orthodox training, and there is a lack of bows and arrows and armor, and the official combat strength is only 20,000 people.
There was no way, Zhou Yu could only ask everyone to cut down the tree, without a bow and arrow, he could only cut the tree to make an arrow shaft, and without an arrow, he could only sharpen the wood. Then soak the arrows in gold juice, and you won't die, at least disgusting you.
What is the golden juice, Shi only read the novel before crossing and thought that the golden venom was only known after he experienced it himself, but it was actually Yoneda Gong, who disgusted Shi Yu.
As long as the scratch is not bandaged and disinfected in time, at least you will have tetanus and die severely.
The materials are also extremely insufficient, and there is no choice but to take farm tools and sticks. The kitchen knife was tied to a wooden stick, and there was no way but to force it.
Fortunately, they are all cannon fodder, and the main team is in ambush, otherwise there is no need to fight this battle at all.
Zhou Yu handed over the art of war to Zhou Tai, Panzhang, and Jiang Qin's naval army, so that they could form a crane wing formation on the water, which was both offensive and defensive, and was suitable for Zhou Yu's command, especially because of its low mobility at sea, which was more suitable for this formation.
After preparing everything, Zhou Yu ordered all departments to prepare for a big battle.
At this time, Shiyi was still a day and a half away from Jiangling, and he could barely arrive, and Wei Yan was already impatient, and he was anxious to rush to the battlefield and kill someone on his back.
But Shiqi is still unhurried, slowly and leisurely, like a spring outing to enjoy the scenery. Because Shiqi understands that if Zhou Yu's ability can't deal with Cai Mao, then adding Shiqi is also in vain. Who is Zhou Yu, he can be called one of the four military gods of the Three Kingdoms. If the god of the army can't help Cai Mao, what can you do with Shiqi, a little hairy boy who is almost sixteen years old, if you want no one, if you want nothing, run over and send him to death.
Shi Qi's heart is to go to join in the fun, show his face, and avenge Sun Jian to make Liu Biao bleed. In this battle, Liu Biao's navy will not be able to make any waves within three years.
But Wei Yan is different, a group of people who die idle every day, plus they are officers, wouldn't it be better to show their faces this time, so Wei Yan is more anxious, one is in urgent need of military merit, and the other just wants to fight the autumn breeze to pick up the leak, of course, the mentality is different.
"Don't worry, aren't you worried about your second brother, tomorrow is the start of the big war" Wei Yan said anxiously
"Don't worry about Wen Chang, I know my second brother's ability, I'm thousands of miles away, why worry, Wen Chang, you and I will continue to play chess" Shi Qi
Wei Yan was not annoyed, but his expression was still a little anxious, and Shi Qi said when he saw it, "If Wen Chang is in a hurry, he can take two thousand people to help my second brother kill the enemy first, and I will arrive later."
"I took everyone away, what should you do" Wei Yan was happier when he heard this, but he was still worried about Shiqi's safety
"Don't you know what I'm capable of? There are no arrows within a hundred steps, even if you are kung fu, you can fight for fifty rounds before you lose, nothing happens, leave a hundred people with me, and you can take the rest with you."
"Thank you for worry-free, I'll invite you to drink when I come back" Wei Yan
Wei Yan took two thousand people and hurried first, as for what to do, Shiqi was not worried at all, big brother, you should be a vegetarian Wei Yan. Need a hairy boy to tell Wei Yan what to do, really.
Shi Qi sent Wei Yan away, and then returned to the cabin, dreaming of spring and autumn.
In the dream, he killed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, hahahahaha
Two days passed in a flash, and early in the morning, Zhou Yu changed out of his usual white clothes and put on a black uniform. Today is a big day for Zhou Yu, the first battle since Zhou Yu was born, and it is also a battle for fame, so Zhou Yu is extremely excited.
Everyone was already waiting for Zhou Yu, and as soon as Zhou Yu came out.
"Mr. Zhou, we are ready" everyone
"Okay, let's go to Zhenxin Lake" Zhou Yu gave an order, and the people below collectively responded to the order.
30,000 people took a boat to Zhenxin Lake, of course, they were basically small boats, not armed combat ships, and the water thieves were not so powerful. But it's also very good-looking, five hundred ships, and so many people, it's still handsome.
Zhou Yu arrived at Zhenxin Lake first, why, choose the location, who chose who first. It only takes twenty miles and an hour to reach Zhenxin Lake from Erlong Island, but Cai Mao is fifty miles away, how can it take two hours, so Zhou Yu must go first, and then occupy a favorable position. It's called location
What is the time of day, the sun is good, and it does not rain.
What about the people, is how Zhou Yu implemented his plan. Why did you choose this Zhenxin Lake, Zhou Yu observed when he came to Erlong Island, Zhenxin Lake, surrounded by Daze, but in the middle is a small island with an area of only 100 people, and there are reeds on all sides, so it's easy to burn. The water flow in the upper reaches of the entire lake is stable, and the downstream flow to Daze is rapid, so Zhou Yu chose the upstream position to place the crane wing array. Quietly waiting for Cai Mao's arrival.
