Chapter 387: Kong Ming Lantern
Chen Wu patted Lu Xun on the shoulder and said to him, "Bo Yan, you will go with me to inspect the camps first. You are here, you can see if there are any omissions in my camp defense. ”
Lu Xun said respectfully: "The general and the Marquis of Chu are both experienced in a hundred battles, so Xun does not dare to talk about guidance. ”
Chen Wu waved his hand and said, "Bo Yan, you don't need to be humble. Our army is now newly defeated, and it is necessary to regroup. Bo Yan has a plan to break the enemy, as far as it can be said. ”
Chen Wu knew that although Lu Xun was young now, he was very resourceful and proficient in the art of war. Over the years, Han Xuan has also focused on cultivating Lu Xun and Lu Ji, Lu Xun was the governor of Eastern Wu in history, and he was very young, and he would rely on them to take the lead in the future. Han Hao also values Lu Xun very much, and intends to marry his eldest daughter to him.
When the two came to the barracks, they saw that the army was full of fear. The strength of the Cao army was far superior to them, and the Jiangdong army and Liu Du who participated in the war combined were less than 100,000, while the Cao army had as many as 200,000.
Now that Huang Zhong, a very prestigious veteran, has died in battle, these soldiers are all languishing, and if Cao Jun fights now, they will definitely be deserters.
Chen Wu stood on the general's platform and said loudly: "Soldiers, I know what you are afraid of. Cao Jun falsely claimed that there were millions of people, and I only had 50,000 troops in Jiangdong, so how could I win with a weak attack on a strong man? Although General Huang died in battle, he was glorious. As soldiers, our destination is to die on the battlefield, and General Huang Lao attacked Cao's millions of people with twenty fireships, what a courage! We should take General Huang Lao as a model, fight bravely to kill the enemy, and use the blades in your hands to tell Cao Bing that our Jiangdong sons are all real men! This General Lu is the future son-in-law of General Zhennan, and General Zhennan sent him to help, and we will definitely defeat Cao's army! ”
A good deed person said: "Whether you can defeat Cao Cao is your general's business, and I and other ordinary soldiers only care about when the military salary will be paid and how the family's livelihood is." ”
Chen Wu looked at him, he trembled when he saw it, and then laughed loudly: "This little brother is right. But I want you to understand one thing, what are you fighting for? ”
"Who else can it be, for the Marquis of Chu and for the general of Zhennan." Some of the soldiers said angrily.
Chen Wu raised his head and laughed, pulled out his Tai'a sword and thrust it into the ground, only to see Chen Wu's whole body exuding a shocking momentum, and said heroically: "Wrong! Miss by a mile! You are fighting for yourselves. ”
Chen Wu continued: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, I joined the army with the Marquis of Chu when I was ten years old, but I served as the guard of the Marquis of Chu. Hou Chu Hou ordered me to be the head of the fire army, and I didn't even have the opportunity to go to the battlefield. However, I was able to sit in the position of general today, not by family background, but by fighting with a knife and a gun! ”
There are many recruits who don't believe it, Chen Wu took off his armor in public, and his **'s upper body was covered with scars, and some of them were even obviously sunken. Chen Wu stepped down from the stage and let them see it more clearly, and the veterans knew that Chen Wu was a good general who was kind to his soldiers, and they were all moved by emotion when they saw this.
"What I want to say is that in my Jiangdong Army, no matter what your background is, as long as you fight bravely to kill the enemy, you will have a famous man, a wife, and a field of property. And now, Cao Cao's army has broken through Jiangdong, and behind it is our homeland, if Jiangdong falls, our relatives will suffer from war, and our land will be plundered. We have no way to retreat, but to fight Cao Jun to the end! Chen Wu said excitedly.
It may be that the prestige of Tai'a Sword and Chen Wu's own domineering spirit infected batch after batch of soldiers, and the Jiangdong Army, which was originally demoralized, was suddenly full of high fighting spirit.
"General Zhennan personally led 30,000 troops, and he will come to meet the general in a few days. As long as our whole army fights with one heart, our army will win! Koto will win! Lu Xun also shouted loudly.
"Victory! Win! The soldiers in the audience shouted in unison.
At this time, the two soldiers came to the front of the general platform with a black halberd, Chen Wu looked at the halberd happily, and shouted: "Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Halberd!" ”
It turned out that the Heavenly Dragon Broken City Halberd had been placed in Liu Du's army since it was lost during the battle between Chen Wu and Liu Du. This time, the two alliances fought against Cao, and Liu Du sent someone to send the Tianlong Broken City Halberd back to Chen Wu.
Chen Wu walked over, picked up the Heavenly Dragon City Breaking Halberd and raised it, and shouted with his head held high: "Victory!" ”
The cheers of the audience were thunderous, Chen Wu was known as the "little overlord of Jiangdong", and he bravely crowned the three armies.
Chen Wu loves soldiers like sons, so everyone in his army is willing to serve him to the death, but right now, these sergeants, these tens of thousands of faces are looking at him so expectantly. It made Chen Wu a little worried, if he was allowed to fight, he would be fearless, but if he tried to plan again, in the face of the resourceful Cao Cao and his strategists Guo Jia, Xun You and others, he would not dare to take any more risks if he could succeed.
This time he folded Huang Zhong, Chen Wu felt guilty in his heart, and he couldn't even think about how to face Han Xuan when Han Xuan came back.
Huang Zhong's coffin was transported back to Danyang, and Huang Wudie, Huang Xu and others crouched in front of Huang Zhong's coffin and wept bitterly.
Huang Wudie wiped her tears and cried: "Father! How can you go in such a hurry, Qiao'er is still in the future and do your filial piety in front of the hall. ”
"Father!" Huang Xu clenched his fists, trying to stop his tears, but he still cried loudly.
After burying Huang Zhong, Huang Xu came to meet Huang Wudie and Yang with a knife in armor, and Huang Wudie asked in surprise: "Brother, what do you want to do?" ”
Huang Xu said indignantly: "Cao Cao and I have a grudge against my father, I want to rush to the battlefield to help General Chen defeat Cao's army and avenge my father!" ”
"Nonsense! My father only has a son like you, and there are General Zhennan and Chen Zilie fighting to the death with Cao Jun in front, how can you help if you go? Huang Wudie reprimanded Huang Xudao.
Huang Xu was unconvinced and said: "I have done my father's true sword technique, even if I can't kill Cao Cao, I have to kill more Cao soldiers and kill a few of his generals!" ”
"Don't be reckless! Listen to your sister. Yang also persuaded on the side.
Huang Xu wanted to go to the battlefield, but was stopped by Huang Wudie. But Huang Xu didn't give up, he grinded hard for a few days, and Huang Wudie's ears agreed as soon as the roots of his ears were soft, but let Gao Shun go with him.
However, Gao Shun and Han Xuan said that he would not be an enemy of Lu Bu in the future, and Cao Cao would lead the army of Lu Bu this time to be in Cao's army. Gao Shun had no choice but to assign 800 trap camp soldiers from his subordinates to Huang Xu, and asked them to escort Huang Xu to see Chen Wu.
Let's say that Chen Wu insisted on not fighting, and under Cai Mao's training, the combat capability of Cao Cao's navy has been greatly improved, and it has been able to cause a lot of casualties to the Jiangdong army.
Chen Wu frowned, looking at the military report sent up, he had a headache. Lu Su, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Lu Ji and others have no perfect plan, Cao Cao's water army has not yet reached the water army that is comparable to the Jiangdong water army, but the good tiger can't fight the wolves, and he can't stand the many soldiers.
If you don't break Cao, it's too late! Chen Wu and a group of strategists planned a plan and discussed it until the evening. The problem now is that Pang Tong's plan of serial warships has been seen through by Guo Jia, and the plan of deception can no longer be used. Occasionally, the southeast wind blows, but the wind is not strong, and the firebombs fired by rockets and trebuchets alone cannot affect the entire battle.
The sky darkened, and someone reported that Zhuge Liang had come to mourn, and Chen Wu's thoughts were interrupted: "Kong Ming? What is he doing here? ”
Chen Wu was distraught, and called his servants to order: "Light the lamps and candles, and I will discuss with a few adults all night." ”
The servant lit the lampstand lamp, and Chen Wu suddenly thought of something. Wait a minute, Kong Ming? Lamp?
"That's right, Kong Ming Lantern!" Chen Wu clapped his hands and almost jumped up excitedly.
Lu Su, Lu Xun and the others were confused, and Chen Wu immediately said to Lu Su, Lu Xun and the others: "Zijing, Boyan, Ziming." Go to the armory at once, and gather all the craftsmen among the generals! ”
"What do you do when you gather the craftsmen?" The crowd was puzzled.
"I've got a plan to break it!" Chen Wu took a pen and paper and drew a drawing of Kong Ming Lantern on the paper, and Chen Wu explained the principle of Kong Ming Lantern to everyone.
"Kong Ming lantern? As the general said, can this thing take off into the air? Lu Xun had an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Absolutely! I've played it all over the time I don't know how many times. Chen Wu said affirmatively.
"Why is this thing called 'Kong Ming Lantern'? Could it be that Kong Ming created it? Mr. Kong Ming is really a man of God. Lu Su laughed.
Lu Su took the drawings and went down to prepare to order the craftsmen of the armory workshop to make Kong Ming lanterns, but he didn't expect to meet Zhuge Liang on the road. Lu Su immediately gave Zhuge Liang a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Mr. Kong Ming is really a god!" ”
