It's a sunny day.

The general of the Chu army, Che Yu, stood at the bow of the boat, staring at the waterway ahead.

In all fairness, to be honest, he was not inclined to use the dangerous tactics of 'Surprise Attack on the Great Liang', but he couldn't help it, after all, Ji Run, the king of Wei, led the Wei soldiers of the Junshui Army, which could be said to have completely blocked the way for their Chu army to continue to go north to capture the territory of Wei.

If he could not use the convenience of the waterway to break the stalemate in this war, it would be difficult for Xiong Tuo, the lord to whom he was loyal, to move his army north.

In fact, in Zicheyu's view, their harvest this time is really not small, almost swallowing two or three percent of the entire Yingshui County in one go, plus about forty percent of the territory that originally belonged to Xuancheng Jun Xiong Tuo, so it is not an exaggeration to say that in the entire Yingshui County, Xuancheng Jun Xiong Tuo has occupied a full seventy percent, or even more.

Therefore, Zicheyu actually prefers to fight steadily, and he wants to advise Xiong Tuoxian, the king of Xuancheng, to stabilize the city he occupies and the surrounding areas. After all, in my opinion, according to the comparison of the strength of Chu and Wei, as long as they fight steadily, Wei will definitely not be their opponent of Great Chu.

Don't look at the current Su King Ji Run of the Wei State who led his troops to defend the Yanshui area, but that was only because it was now the end of the year, and the weather was cold, not only was it inconvenient to transport grain and grass, but it was also difficult to obtain food on the spot.

Wait for the spring of next year to try again?

When the time comes, when the ice and snow melt, the army bypasses the Yanshui camp of the Wei army, and the whole army advances directly to the hinterland of Wei, even if the Yanshui camp is impregnable, so what?

As long as their Chu army bypasses this Yanshui camp, will the Wei soldiers in this Wei camp still dare to shrink in the camp?

If these Wei soldiers were still ready to be shrunken turtles at that time, then their Chu soldiers would unceremoniously advance northward.

As long as their offensive is as fierce as ever, there is no need to worry about the Wei soldiers cutting off their grain and grass, after all, the general tactics of cutting off the enemy's grain route are used in the stalemate between the two armies, if their Chu soldiers conquer the cities of Wei every time. Harvesting grain on the spot and feeding the war with war, there is no need to care about the Wei soldiers cutting off their grain routes.

Unless the Chu soldiers can't capture the cities of Wei at that time, it will be more tricky.

However, this possibility is really very small, after all, the Wei army's army is far less than their Chu army, under the tactics of crowds, unless the time and place are on the other side. Otherwise, it is rare to encounter an insurmountable city pass.

Therefore, when their Chu army bypassed the Wei soldiers in the Yanshui camp and attacked the hinterland of Wei State, the Wei soldiers in the Wei camp could only go out of the camp to intercept them, and at that time, the impregnable Wei camp would be useless.

At that time, with its absolute superiority in strength, how could the Chu army not be able to deal with the 20,000 Junshui army and 10,000 Yanling soldiers, a total of 30,000 Wei soldiers?

But unfortunately, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, did not accept this suggestion. Because he was competing with Xiong Wu, the king of Guling, in order to compete for the position of the king of Chu, he desperately hoped to win more territory for the state of Chu in this war, so as to gain the favor of the king of Chu and the support of the nobles of the state of Chu.

In this case, Zicheyu had no choice but to put forward a proposal for a surprise attack.

"I hope this trip goes well......

Zicheyu secretly prayed in his heart.

At this time, a greeting from a guard came from behind him: "General, you have been standing here since early in the morning, and you have not eaten yet." Why don't you go to the cabin and eat something first? ”

Zicheyu was about to say, "I'm not hungry yet," but suddenly I felt a rush of hunger in my stomach. So he nodded, and reincarnated walked to the cabin.

When he reached the hatch, he was about to step down the inner staircase of the ship, when suddenly there was a loud "bang" from the bow of the ship, which made the whole battlefield shake.

"What's going on?" Zicheyu was shocked and suspicious. Holding on to the wooden wall of the hatch, he eagerly asked the nearby Chu soldiers.

I saw that the Chu soldiers on the ship were looking around towards the hull of the ship, and suddenly, the Chu soldiers standing at the bow of the ship exclaimed: "General, the bumper plate on the bow of the ship has been broken......

"What?" Zicheyu was surprised when he heard this. It is important to know that the strike plate in the bow of the ship was originally specially reinforced to prevent impact, and it stands to reason that the strike plate will not be broken.

Zicheyu walked over quickly, leaning out of the bow of the boat with half of his body, and looked at the bow condescendingly.

Sure enough, he noticed that the bumper plate in the bow had been broken several times, but fortunately the hull was not damaged.

"Hoo ......"

Zicheyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't know what had broken the bumper in front of the bow, since it could have broken even the bumper, it was obvious that without that bumper, it would have been able to break the hull directly, causing the cabin to leak.

Even, if the damage is too serious, they can only abandon this battlefield and urgently call the whole ship of Chu soldiers to land on other warships.

That's the value of the collision board, which saved the entire ship.

Just when Zi Cheyu was secretly rejoicing, suddenly the Chu soldier beside him shouted: "Be careful, be careful of the driftwood ahead!" ”

"Driftwood?"

Zicheyu subconsciously raised his head, and was shocked to see a few logs in the water in front of him, sinking and floating, and going down the river.

He squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, only then he was shocked to find that those driftwood were definitely artificial, after all, the front part of those driftwood was deliberately sharpened with a knife.

"Bang ——!"

There was a loud bang, and one of the driftwoods slammed into the bow of the warship to the left of the sub-carfish.

Zi Cheyu clearly saw that most of the bumper of the warship on the left was knocked away, and immediately, some Chu soldiers shouted in panic from the warship: "Boat...... The cabin is leaking, come on people, the cabin is leaking. ”

『……』

Zicheyu frowned at this scene, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

And at this moment, there was a loud bang in front of him, and his face suddenly changed.

"What's going on?!"

He looked around nervously, but he wondered a little that nothing unusual had happened around him.

Just when he didn't know what was going on, suddenly the water in front of him rose sharply, and the flood discharge phenomenon that could only be seen in the flood season appeared in front of him.

I saw that in the Cai River in front of me, a turbulent water swept in, and what made Zicheyu even more frightened was that he was in the turbulent flood. It was even packed with driftwood that covered almost the entire surface of the river.

"Wei ...... Is it the Wei people?!'

A chill ran down his spine, and he knew what a disaster the water, coupled with the driftwood floating in the raging water, was for his fleet of warships.

Note...... Watch out for the driftwood ahead! …… Quick, quick inform the fleet behind. ”

When he ordered loudly, Zicheyu couldn't help but feel a little bitter.

Pay attention to dodging the driftwood ahead?

How to dodge?

The entire surface of the river is covered with driftwood that can be called a murder weapon. How does this make them dodge?

"Bang ——!"

"Bang Bang Bang ——!"

There was a loud bang.

I saw that those driftwoods that had been boosted by the surging river water actually smashed the bow bumper of the Chu State fleet like sharp arrows, and plunged straight into the cabin.

"Not good! The cabin is leaking! ”

"The cabin is leaking......"

The Chu soldiers of the nearby warships all shouted in fear.

"Ship...... The ship struck sideways, and the helmsman ...... Helmsman? ”

A warship was directly hit sideways by the turbulent water.

What's worse is that the ship was uncontrollably swept downstream by the river.

In this regard, the Chu soldiers on several Chu warships sailing behind this warship were greatly shocked, because they found that the warship in front of them was slamming sideways into them under the impact of the river.

"No ——!"

"Don't ——!"

Numerous Chu soldiers shouted with all their might. It is a pity that their shouts do not change the established facts at all.

I saw that the horizontal warship slammed into the three warships behind, the whole ship was shattered by the collision, and countless Chu soldiers screamed and fell into the water.

Worse still, due to the impact of this impact, the helmsmen of the three warships could no longer grasp the direction of the ship's sailing, and turned sideways and crashed into the warship next to it.

"Boom-"

The two Chu warships collided violently with the panicked shouts of many Chu soldiers, and the railing on the side of the ship was suddenly knocked away. Immediately afterwards, one on the right and one on the left side of the two warships. It was also shattered in this impact, and a large amount of river water poured into the cabin.

『……』

Zicheyu stood at the stern of the boat, watching this scene in horror and shock, looking at the tragedy that unfolded before his eyes.

The raging waters of the river actually swept their fleet downstream, and dozens of warships collided with friendly ships because they could not control their direction. The ship was wrecked and people died.

"Wei people...... When was the dam built? When will the water be stored?'

Zicheyu gritted his teeth hatefully.

Whatever the truth, one thing is certain, that is, his plan to drive warships to attack the capital of Wei has completely failed.

He is now. Instead of regretting, it is better to think about how to survive this catastrophe and try to save as many lives as possible of Chu soldiers.

"General, the leak in the cabin is so bad that it can't be repaired......"

A Chu soldier hurriedly came to report.

Zi Cheyu let out a long breath and glanced at the west side of the Cai River with wary eyes.

In his mind, since the Wei people had set a trap here early, it could never be just a water attack, and there must have been an ambush of Wei soldiers.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Wave the flag and signal the warships behind...... However, if a warship with a leaky cabin forcibly anchored on the east bank of the Cai River, killed the direction, and drove the ship directly ashore, it would not hurt if the ship was destroyed. ”

Under the order of Zicheyu, the helmsmen of those warships with leaky cabins forcibly killed the direction, and with the help of the impact of the river, they wanted to forcibly rush ashore, but only a few warships with uninjured hulls were still drifting with the tide and were washed downstream in the direction of the water.

"Bang-"

"Bang bang—"

Dozens of warships forcibly docked on the east bank of the Cai River, and the Chu soldiers on these warships jumped off the river bank one after another.

They didn't notice at all that two miles away from them on the east bank of the Cai River, there was a cavalryman dressed in armor and a general, who was riding his horse on a dirt slope, and behind him, followed by more than a dozen horsemen.

"Humph!"

I saw the general looking at this scene on the Cai River expressionlessly, holding the reins of the horse in his left hand, and gently tossing a golden order in his hand with his right hand.

"Raise the flag!" The general coldly ordered.

As soon as the words fell, the guards behind him dismounted and worked together to erect a big flag on the high slope, only to see that on the big flag, two big characters were clearly visible.

『Dangshan』

"Woo-woo-woo-"

A battle horn sounded, and I saw that in a forest not far from the east bank of the Cai River, a large number of Wei soldiers rushed out with shouts, including a group of cavalry.

At this time, the general took the golden order in his arms, took the halberd from the hand of the guard with a blank face, and rushed out as soon as his legs clamped the horse's belly.

"Kill! Not a single one to stay! ”

Sima An, the general of the "Dangshan Battalion", attack! (To be continued.) )
