"Lord, Huang Gai's old man is not afraid, Yu begs the lord to order, Guan will definitely be able to storm the water village within two days!" Although Guan Yu is a pioneer, he is very obedient to Liu Cong's orders, and the last time he was in Chaisang, because of Liu Cong's decisive order, Guan Yu showed his might and made outstanding contributions, so that Guan Yu also found some feelings. Especially when the bloody battle at the mouth of the lake that night was killed, only a few hundred people were left in Zhou Tai.

Now his side still has a numerical advantage, and Guan Yu thinks that Huang Gai is old and is by no means his opponent, Zhou Tai and Cheng Pu were killed by him, and a mere Huang Gai can't stop him at all! Of course, Liu Cong knew what Guan Yu wanted to do, and now Gan Ning went to the front Moling, if he took the Moling, he could go straight to Wu County with Liu Pan's waterway. In this way, Guan Yu, the vanguard, has become the rear.

"General Guan, although Huang Gai is not afraid, but our army is running for a long time, and the division is far away, so you can't fight quickly, this prime minister will give you a task, and you must complete it within three days!"

"But by the command of the Lord!" As soon as he heard that Liu Cong had another task, Guan Yu was a little happier, and eagerly waited for Liu Cong's order.

"Well, collect two hundred fishing boats and weave ten thousand scarecrows in three days!"

"My lord?" Guan Yu asked with wide eyes and puzzled. Collecting fishing boats can also be said to replenish one's own strength and prevent the enemy from escaping across the river, so what is this lord weaving ten thousand scarecrows for?

"Why can't it be done? Then I'll let someone else do it. ”

"No, lord, Guan wants to ask, what is this scarecrow for?"

"This phase has its own wonderful use, remember that if it can't be completed within three days, it will be dealt with by military law!"

"No!" Guan Yu has 15,000 people under him, and when he fights, a fierce attack should be able to eat the water village, which Liu Cong did not let him attack, but asked him to collect fishing boats and weave scarecrows, naturally he was very puzzled, and after receiving the order, he asked Zhao Yun and Fa Zheng, Zhao Yun didn't know why, Fa Zheng guessed what Liu Cong wanted to do but didn't say it, but Guan Yu was suffocated.

However, since the lord had an order, Guan Yu naturally did not dare to slack off, so he retreated his troops to the south bank of the river, and camped more than ten miles away from the water village, and then left a group of men and horses to garrison, and the rest of the people went ashore to start collecting fishing boats. The two hundred fishing boats were quickly collected, because Liu Cong did not ask for the size, and there were many fishermen along the Yangtze River, as long as they were willing to pay, they would not be able to find them. And 10,000 scarecrows did cost Guan Yu three days.

In the past three days, Liu Cong has finally quieted down, and without Guan Yu asking for battle in front of him every day, he has time to discuss the next move with Fa Zheng.

"Lord, I have already prepared according to your instructions, what should I do next?"

"Put all the prepared scarecrows on the fishing boats, there must be no gaps on the sides of each fishing boat, and then order your people to drive the fishing boats to attack the water village at night!"

"Lord, why don't you use the warboat, but the fishing boat, and the fishing boat is so small that it is full of scarecrows, where are the sergeants standing?"

"Every boat should have someone who can sail it, and remember to set off in the middle of the night! The rest of the soldiers boarded the ships to help! The fishing boats are lined up in a state of encirclement after a distance of an arrow, and if the enemy shoots with a bow and arrow, they are not allowed to retreat and do not return fire......"

"This ...... Lord? Strategist? "Guan Yu doesn't seem to have understood yet, since it is harassment at night, how can there be a reason not to fight back?

"Yun Chang, the enemy is only stationed in the water village of 5,000 people, and now more than 2,000 people have been transferred from the Lujiang River, there must be insufficient equipment preparations, Xingba has already cut off their retreat and reinforcements down the river, you just need to do what you just ordered, within three days, Huang Gai will definitely not lose many arrows left in the camp?" And then our army will attack on a large scale, will it be possible to reduce a lot of losses? ”

"The Lord is wise!" Guan Yu listened to Liu Cong's patient explanation, and then he understood that the main purpose of using fishing boats at night was not to harass them, but to consume the enemy's arrows. If this is repeated for a few days, the enemy will definitely be aware of it, and when the time comes, he will only be afraid that the stock of arrows will not be enough, and if he attacks on a large scale, the enemy will definitely spare arrows like gold. In this way, you can choose to attack with real magic weapons at any time! This is actually Liu Cong's inspiration for borrowing arrows from a grass boat, but now Liu Cong is not very short of arrows, but he can consume the enemy, so why not pick up arrows for nothing?

It was night, as Liu Cong expected, there was a heavy fog on the river, and the visibility was extremely low. When Guan Yu appeared near the water village with more than 200 fishing boats, Huang Gai was like a great enemy, because the visibility was not high, he did not dare to go out of the village easily, so he ordered the soldiers to release arrows to try to stop the enemy from attacking. And Guan Yu was also very cooperative, hundreds of fishing boats surrounded the water village on three sides, and when they entered the range of bows and arrows, they listened to it, just let the soldiers on the boat beat drums and shout.

Arrows rained down in the water village, most of them were shot on the fishing boat, worn on the scarecrow, and seeing the hull gradually tilting, he ordered the hull to be turned around, and this was repeated several times, and after an hour, the troops were collected and returned to the village. It made the defenders of the Whisker Water Village inexplicable, and Huang Gai also came to check it several times, but he didn't see the truth, but fortunately, he didn't lose anything, and Huang Gai didn't dig deeper.

And after Guan Yu returned to the camp, he counted it, good guy, he lost nearly 30,000 arrows in one night. This is not counting falling into the river, according to the half of the defenders dispatched by the water village, each person shot more than 20 pieces, and only a few careless boatmen on Guan Yu's side were injured. On the second day, the river was still foggy, and Guan Yu was ordered to drive a fishing boat to the water village during the day, so four times in a row day and night, Huang Gai finally realized that something was wrong, according to Guan Yu's ruthless character, how could it be possible to attack the camp several times without casualties?

In these four times, Huang Gai's subordinates shot hundreds of thousands of arrows. It's nearly a hundred per capita. This problem comes out, in general battles, both offensive and defensive sides are tentative attacks at the beginning, attacking each other with long-range weapons, and this river is naturally dominated by bows and crossbows. You shoot back and forth, and when the two sides collect their troops, they can generally recover most of the arrows! Now Guan Yu has come four times, but not a single arrow has been fired, and Huang Gai's subordinates can only get in and out!

He quickly realized the seriousness of the problem, according to the previous battles, the two sides shot at each other, although each soldier was damaged, but the general loss of arrows will not exceed 30%, and he has the advantage of the camp, most of the arrows will not enter the water, can be taken and reused! In this case, there will be no problem with 7,000 soldiers and 100 arrows per capita to hold on for a month. But what about now? The loss is 100 percent! Because even a lost arrow cannot be recovered, unless someone is sent to the river to fish, and it is very dangerous to do so in the eyes of the enemy.

If this continues, Huang Gai will face the dilemma of having no bow in two or three days! So when Guan Yu appeared in the field of vision with his subordinates on the third day, Huang Gai strictly ordered the whole army to be ready for battle, but it was not allowed to shoot arrows without authorization! Guan Yu's two hundred warships then pounced! I had to return to the camp and bring a large army to transfer the scarecrow to the warship to make a real attack! This time the warships were significantly larger and more numerous than the fishing boats, plus they were shouting from beginning to end.

Huang Gai still ordered a tentative shooting, and when he saw that Guan Yu still didn't return fire, he shot it. The defenders didn't shoot, Guan Yu ordered the fleet to continue to approach! Seeing that the enemy appeared near the water village and was about to land, Huang Gai hurriedly ordered to shoot again. Guan Yu's subordinates immediately took out scarecrows to resist, so that the two sides spent another day on the river. Due to Huang Gai's caution, the loss of the arrow was much better than the previous two days, but it still did not come in, so he had to send an order to Lujiang to ask for support for the loss of the arrow!

Guan Yu played with Huang Gai on the periphery of the water village for four days, and on the fifth day, Liu Cong finally gave the order, of course, to attack the water village at night. All the fishing boats are the vanguard troops, loaded with all the scarecrows, regardless of whether Huang Gai shoots arrows or not, and then ignites them after rushing into the camp at full speed!

The other generals all dispatched with the remaining nearly 20,000 people, about a stone's throw away, and they would all fight together when the fire in the water village started! As Liu Cong expected, the water army that had been played by Guan Yu for four days cherished arrows like gold, and the two hundred fishing boats in front of Guan Yu were not greatly blocked at all, and it was not until they entered the distance of half an arrow that the defenders of Shuizhai began to wake up, because there were scarecrows on the fishing boats, they could see clearly, and at the most critical time, there were a large number of warships outside an arrow!

Did they come to trick the arrows or set them on fire? All the low-level officials are struggling with this issue! Some cautious people began to order their subordinates to keep firing arrows, but it was too late at this time, and it was no longer possible to stop the entry of fishing boats, until four or five fishing boats rushed into the camp, and the defenders of the water village suddenly realized that they began to shoot arrows desperately at the enemy!

With an order, the outside of the water village suddenly burst into flames! Two hundred fishing boats carrying 10,000 scarecrows pounced on the water village like a moving fire dragon! Despite the best efforts of the defenders to block it, nearly a quarter of the fishing boats still took advantage of the situation to enter the water village, and the first one even entered nearly fifty paces, and the rest of the fishing boats that were set on fire quickly surrounded the water village!

And in the distance, most of the main forces of the Jingzhou Navy were standing on the warship and watching the enemy fall into chaos and panic!

The water village is indeed a bit chaotic, they were still hesitating to shoot arrows before, but now all the fishing boats have instantly turned into a source of fire, and the water village is all wooden structure! If the fire is not controlled, it will be reduced to nothing in a matter of hours! But if the whole army is thrown into extinguishing the fire, will the enemy from a distance attack it?

The answer is yes! With the water village on fire, Guan Yu could see it from a distance, at this time the enemy army not only began to be confused, but also lacked arrows, at this time, when would it not be attacked? In just the time when the fishing boat was lit with half a pillar of incense, almost all the Jingzhou sailors were killed! They first shot a few rockets at the fishing boat, and then used the big war boat to push the fishing boat close to the Zhaimen and rushed inside!

In this way, the fortifications of the defenders basically did not play a very good role, and generally speaking, if there were enough arrows and trees to defend the city, then it would not be difficult for 7,000 people to defend the attack of more than 20,000 people! But tonight, the situation is destined to be reversed, and when the defenders of the water village were still worried about not finding the arrows, Liu Cong sent them arrows and lost them, 20,000 people, almost everyone had a bow, and the overwhelming rain of arrows mixed with rockets flew to the water village!

Huang Gai finally lost an arrow, but at the cost of being shot into a hedgehog by the most cutting-edge soldiers! didn't even have time to collect the arrows on the ground and extinguish the fire, and more than 20,000 Jingzhou sailors were killed together in the water village!
