Chapter 1279: The Devil Genius (I)

Arrows were fired indiscriminately from all over the ship. The Wei army could not resist, and the soldiers were shot to the ground, and there were many casualties. I also saw the iron tiger ships riding the wind and waves, crashing into the Wei ships, making a loud noise, the two wings of the iron blades on the side of the ship, smashed and destroyed the Wei ships, all the soldiers who collided with them, died on the spot, the blood was colored, and the screams were endless.

Pan Zhang's face was cold, and when he saw that the fleet of his own army was constantly breaking through by the fleet of the Wu army, he hurriedly ordered the two wings of the fleet to go to help in the battle. Pan Zhang led the Chinese military ships and sailed quickly to the river.

On the other side, Cao Cao was in the rear army, and when he saw Wu Bing borrowing the ship, his face changed continuously. Cao Ren watched from the sidelines and hurriedly persuaded Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty, the ships of his army are sharp, our army is difficult to resist, and Wu soldiers are good at water warfare, if the battle continues for a long time, our army will only add more casualties, why don't we withdraw our troops for the time being, and then make plans!!"

As soon as Cao Ren's words fell, suddenly the front army beat drums and shook violently, and the three-way fleet suddenly rushed up, hoping that the Wu army fleet would surround and kill. When Cao Ren saw this, his color suddenly changed, and he was about to persuade again. Cao Cao saw that there were a lot of self-army fleets, so he made a move and shouted loudly.

"The ships of the former army have arrived, and the soldiers are all hoping to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, so how can I order the withdrawal of the army because of a momentary defeat. Doesn't this teach the Wu people to laugh at my timidity!? ”

Cao Cao was not familiar with water warfare, and thought that he could be surrounded by people like land. Cao Ren couldn't persuade him, so he had no choice but to watch the fleet of the former army constantly being destroyed by Wu Bing's Iron Tiger fleet. At this moment, Lu Su saw that his own fleet had the upper hand, and quickly ordered a large-scale attack. I saw Ding Feng on the right and Ling Tong on the left, each driving the fleet, rushing straight into the Wei fleet. Although the Wei army practiced water warfare, it was not an opponent of the Eastern Wu soldiers who were proficient in water warfare. On the surface of the river, the warships swinged, and they could not stand on their feet, and the iron tiger ships of the Wu army were extremely sharp, only to see the three-way warships of Gan Ning, Ding Feng, and Lingtong, crisscrossing the water, and firing thousands of arrows, killing the Wei soldiers screaming endlessly, and overturning everywhere. Gan Ning led his troops to board the ship, and the Wu soldiers were like tigers and wolves, and the Wei soldiers couldn't resist it, and there were countless casualties.

I saw that on the river, the shouting of killing shook the heavens and the earth, the river was rolling, and countless Wei soldiers were killed and fell into the river. Despite this, the fleet of Wei soldiers continued to pour in, like moths to a fire, throwing themselves into a net, and the casualties became more and more. The morale of the Wu soldiers was shocked, and they fought frantically, the Wei soldiers were killed in horror, and most of the generals in Jingzhou were killed by Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Ding Feng and others. The two armies were on the river, from dawn to dusk, I don't know how many casualties there were, only to see that the river was a blood-red color, which was thrilling to watch. Lu Su saw that although his army was profitable, he was afraid of being outnumbered. At this time, Lu Xun, who was beside Lu Su, said quickly.

"Governor, although the soldiers of our army are brave, they are all tired from fighting so far. The Wei army is numerous, fortunately not familiar with water warfare, now it is time to quickly withdraw the troops and fight again on a later day!! ”

Lu Su had already had this intention, and now when he heard Lu Xun say this, he hurriedly ordered Ming Jin to stop the ship. The golden trumpet sounded together. Gan Ning killed the Wei soldiers on the ship, immediately led the troops to retreat, boarded back his own ship, and ordered the troops to be collected. Wei Bing had already been killed so coldly, where did he dare to chase and kill. On the other side, General Ling Tong and Ding Feng also withdrew one after another, and the three fleets were transferred back and left. Cao Cao saw it in the rear army, and he jumped like thunder and urged the army forward. Pan Zhang hurriedly ordered the soldiers to beat the drums, but most of the soldiers of the former army were killed and wounded, and the soldiers were already cold and had no intention of fighting, so no one dared to drive the boat to chase them. After a while, the Wu convoy retreated. Seeing this, Cao Cao roared angrily, withdrew his troops with a shout, and left angrily. Pan Zhang then led the defeated army back.

Cao Cao collected his army at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, while teaching Cao Ren to reorganize the sergeants, and then called Pan Zhang to the tent and shouted scolding.

"There are few soldiers in Dongwu, and our soldiers are numerous, but they were defeated, it must be that you Pan Wenqi are not effective in fighting, and you don't have to use your heart!"

When Pan Zhang heard this, his face was shocked, and he kowtowed.

"Your Majesty is angry!! It's not that the last general is ineffective in combat, but the iron tiger fleet of the other army is extremely sharp, and although our naval army has drills, it is not as elite as the Eastern Wu soldiers, so it was defeated!! If Your Majesty does not believe what the last general says, the last general is willing to die to make his will clear!! ”

Pan Zhang's eyes shone brightly, and his face was full of anger. Cao Cao squinted at Pan Zhang coldly. But soon Cao Cao laughed again, and between this joy and anger, the change was extremely fast.

"Haha. Wen Qi is brave and loyal, how can I not know. But today, the battle suffered a lot of losses, and tens of thousands of soldiers died in the river, but the battle did not make any progress. I'm really unwilling, and I hope Wen Jue doesn't mind! ”

Pan Zhang's expression froze, and he hurriedly bowed.

"The last general is deeply favored by His Majesty, how dare he be presumptuous. However, the ships of the other army are sharp, and if our army wants to resist it, we need to find another good strategy. ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao bowed his head slightly, his eyes as fine as if he could swallow the sky, burst out of the essence light, and asked in a condensed voice.

"I don't know if Wen Jue has a plan?"

Pan Zhang's face darkened, and he shook his head.

"The last general is incompetent. The Iron Tiger fleet is an elite fleet built by Soochow with a lot of money. Ordinary ships are no match for them. But if you want to build a big ship to fight, it will take a lot of time. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his face turned cold, he waved his hand, and said coldly.

"So it was. Drop it first. ”

Pan Zhang received the order and then retreated. After a while, Cao Ren came to see him. Cao Cao's face was cloudy, and he seemed to contain surging anger. Cao Ren's expression froze, and he arched his hand.

"Your Majesty, I don't think this Pan Wenqi can be convinced, and you need to be more vigilant."

"Oh? What do you say about Zixiao!? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he seemed to be thoughtful, and his eyes shot out two cold lights, and he asked in a deep voice.

"That Pan Wenqi is an old general of Eastern Wu, don't you know that the Iron Tiger fleet is powerful? But today, he is a former army commander, but he does not know how to avoid his edge, marches on a large scale, and urges the army to attack, so that the soldiers are extremely depleted, and nearly tens of thousands of people are lost. It can be seen that he has bad intentions!! ”

Cao Ren's face was cold, and he said coldly. Cao Cao's eyes shrunk, almost narrowing into a thin line, not knowing whether he was happy or angry, but he bowed his head slightly, and said unhurriedly.

"I know what to do. At this time, our army still needs Pan Wenqi to train the navy, and we will deal with this person in the future. However, Soochow has the Iron Tiger fleet, and the soldiers are all good at water warfare. Although I have hundreds of thousands of troops at hand, it is difficult for me to advance. At present, it is necessary to take a long-term view and discuss good strategies. ”

When Cao Ren heard this, he was sure in his heart, and he also replied.

"Your Majesty's words are extremely true. There are not many troops in Eastern Wu, if you talk about this land battle, except for the soldiers and horses of the Western Tang Dynasty, no one in the whole world is our opponent. At present, our army only needs to cross the Yangtze River, and it will be able to break through the Yellow Dragon and conquer Soochow. But now the war is difficult to start, I don't know if there is any news from the marquis? ”

"Fengxiao's old illness has been committed again, and he is resting in Jingzhou. A few months ago, Feng Xiao sent a letter, saying that he had found a treasure in Jingzhou, a material that could be made, so he accepted him as an apprentice and taught what he had learned in his life. As a result, there has been a delay.

Presumably, Feng Xiao was ready to leave at this time. I am also very curious, listening to Feng Xiao's words, the young man is only twenty years old, but he has a strategy, accustomed to the art of war, even more difficult to be valuable, this young man is not a conformist, good at changeable, many opinions on the art of war, and Feng Xiao's way of soldiering, even coincide. Therefore, Feng Xiao is very happy. When the master and apprentice arrive, I will definitely take a good look at this young man, what kind of ability he can have, and he can be so appreciated by Guo Langzi, who has always been above the top!! ”

When Cao Ren heard Cao Cao say this, he also showed a little surprise and exclaimed.

"That young man is so appreciated by the Marquis of Zhen!? So I'm afraid it's not just a thing in the pool, but also a genius. I wonder if the Marquis of Zhen mentioned the name of this young man? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled brightly and said slowly.

"This son's surname is Jiang Mingwei, the word Boyo, and he is originally a person from Tianshui. When he was a child, because it coincided with Wen Bufan's expedition to Liangzhou, he fought against Ma Mengqi's Western Liang Army. In order to escape the scourge of war, his father moved his family to Jingzhou. ”

Just when Cao Cao and Cao Ren discussed Guo Jia and Jiang Wei's master and apprentice. On the other hand, it was said that Lu Su returned to the village victoriously, rewarded the three armies, and sent people to the Wu King Sun Quan to report the victory. Today's battle, the Eastern Wu army can be said to have won a complete victory, killing tens of thousands of Wei soldiers, this battle greatly boosted the morale of the Wu soldiers, the army from the general to the colonel, all of them are very happy, the fighting spirit is high, and the hundreds of thousands of Wei soldiers do not seem to be so terrible. In the big tent, after three rounds of wine, Lu Su and the generals said.

"The great victory of our army today not only depends on the advantages of our army's ships and weapons, the elite of our soldiers, but also fortunately that there are loyal soldiers in the other army. It's really my Soochow, and the country is very lucky! ”

As soon as Lu Su said this, all the generals at the banquet had a smile on their faces. Although Lu Su did not name names, the generals knew who he was talking about. At present, although the number of soldiers in Eastern Wu is far less than hundreds of thousands of Wei soldiers, they have a faint upper hand, and some people are in response to the Wei army. As a result, all the generals of Eastern Wu were full of fighting spirit and were eager to try.

After a few days, the Wei soldiers did not move. Gan Ning, Ding Feng, Ling Tong and other Eastern Wu generals all came to ask for battle. However, Lu Su was suspicious of what the Wei army was secretly planning, and he didn't dare to act rashly, and wanted to go to investigate.

So, at the beginning of the night, Lu Su ordered to pack up a boat, take Gudong, and several accompanying generals, each with a strong bow and a crossbow, and get on the boat together to advance, looking at the Wei army Dazhai to explore. The building boat took advantage of the darkness of the night and rushed to the edge of the Wei army's village. Lu Su ordered people to go down the stone, looked over, and saw that the Wei army's Dazhai garrison was lax, and there was a faint sound of drum music. Lu Su looked at it for a while, but still didn't see any ships patrolling the Wei army's village. Lu Su was secretly surprised, so he taught the soldiers to put away the stone, and the two sides turned around in turn, looking at the river as if flying away. This time, the Wei army still did not move, and Lu Su walked unhindered as if he had entered his own backyard.

That night, Lu Su returned to Dazhai of the army, and Gan Ning and other generals hurriedly came over to meet the inquiry. Lu Su walked away and returned to the tent, and the generals sat down one after another. Ding Feng, who went with Lu Su, pulled his throat and said hurriedly.

"I see that Cao Cao is defenseless, and there is no one patrolling in the river, so why don't I send a group of men and horses to attack the village, and the killing is turned upside down, which has already frustrated the spirit of the other army!!"

When Lu Su heard this, his face sank, and he said with his beard.

"No! If this is the case, they will fall for the treacherous schemes of the other army! ”

"That Cao Mengde had been killed by our army before, and he didn't dare to rush forward, seeing that the war was difficult, so he was relaxed. The Metropolitan Governor is the head of the three armies, how can he be so weak? ”

Ding Fengju's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily. Lu Meng, who was also going with him, heard this, and stood up angrily, pointing his fingers and shouting.

"Ding Chengyuan, you are presumptuous!! Cao Mengde is a hero in the world, and he is well versed in the art of war, so he doesn't know fortification!? It was precisely because the other army saw that it was in the water battle in the river and was not the opponent of our army, so it pretended to be lax, lured our army to go and designed an ambush. You don't know the art of war, how dare you make a big statement here and despise the authority of the Grand Governor!! ”

As soon as Lu Meng said this, Ding Feng's face changed continuously, and only then did he realize the stakes, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, bowed his head and confessed.

"A certain reckless and rude, mistakenly offended the authority of the Metropolitan Governor, and is willing to be punished!!"

"Cheng Yuan, get up. You are concerned about the war, so you can blame you for this. However, in the future, whenever you encounter this matter, you need to think more about it. The war is changing rapidly, the art of war is unpredictable, Chengyuan, you are the pillar of my Eastern Wu Kingdom, and you need to learn more about the art of war and use more strategy to be independent. ”

Lu Su rushed to Ding Feng's side, helped him up, and said to Ding Feng meaningfully. Ding Feng was very grateful when he heard this, and gritted his teeth and bowed his head in response.

"I must remember the teachings of the Metropolitan Governor!!"

"Haha. Good! Good! Good! The so-called knowing mistakes can be corrected, and the good is great. ”

Lu Su smiled brightly, and after speaking, he suddenly turned to look at Lu Xun, his eyes were hooked, as if he was laughing. Lu Xun understood, got up and said.
