Chapter Eighty-Three: Behind Enemy Lines
Sun Ce was very happy in his heart, his friend was always so useful at critical moments.
Zhou Yu said: "Veteran generals, you must have known in your hearts that a hard attack is too heavy for our army, and I don't know if it is feasible to have a plan." ”
"What kind of strategy can you tell us?" Sun Ce asked.
"Sound to the west."
Zhou Yu walked to the front of the map, "Ji Ling in the Huaishui area sent troops to make a surprise attack, and after being repelled by the general, he led his troops to camp here, with 3,000 soldiers and horses!" ”
"If our army leads a large army and quietly crosses the Huai River, we can lead the army south from the Huai River to the south and attack the hinterland of Ji Ling's army and attack it unprepared!"
"Military advisor, that Ji Ling is not a fool, if our army moves, he will not notice it, and when the time comes, he will directly lead the army straight to our army's camp, how should our army deal with the enemy?!"
"Prime Minister, this plan of the military advisor is too risky, it is not worth it at all, in addition, in the matter of Chibi, General Huang almost died because of your plan, I think you should be responsible for this murder crime!"
Zhou Yu said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "General Huang can be blamed for the matter, but the current strategy to break the enemy is urgent. ”
Zhou Yu turned around and said to Sun Ce, "The last general asks the prime minister, and the last general will plan this time!" ”
"Xiao'er, I admit that you have some ability, but the army is not a place where you can act recklessly on your own mind," Cheng Pu shouted.
"Yuan Shu was originally the third prince of the fourth world, Shouchun and other places are rich in grain and grass, although our army relies on the policy of Tuntian this year, a lot of grain and grass in Tuntian in recent years, but now the war is too big, and the grain and grass cannot withstand such internal friction, and must win quickly!"
Cheng Pu said unhappily, "Zhou Yu, listen to what you mean, we can't win with so many generals here, only you Zhou Yu can?!" ”
"The last general has no such intention......"
"Enough is enough, don't make any noise!" Sun Ce shouted angrily, and then looked at Zhou Yu with a soothing face, "I Xinqing, Zhou Yu is the main general, Cheng Pu is the deputy general, and the army is 70,000, all retreat!" ”
"Yes!"
"Nonsense, it's just nonsense, the prime minister's move is simply to take Zhou Yu too seriously, and actually let me be his lieutenant!"
"Don't be angry, you and I have long known that Zhou Yu is Bo Fu's friend, even if he is entrusted with power now, it is reasonable, not to mention that Zhou Yu fought beautifully in the first battle of Chibi!"
"Even you can help him speak, then I'll wait, if I can't do it, how should I deal with it if it delays our army!"
Sun Ce's camp.
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce and said, "You demoted Changsu to the order of Fuchun County?" ”
Sun Ce sighed and said, "I was so annoyed at the time that I didn't think much about it at all. ”
"It's really no wonder that Changsu is doing this, he won't show anything in words, but in his heart he cherishes this hard-won good situation more than anyone else!" Zhou Yu said with a smile, "When the anger is gone, call him back and appease him!" ”
Sun Ce didn't speak, and only after a while did he speak, "By the way, your strategy against the enemy is really effective?" ”
Zhou Yu's eyes were slightly small, "Bo Fu can't trust me?" ”
Sun Ce looked away a little embarrassed, "Naturally not, Gongjin, I can naturally trust your talents, I'm just a little curious......"
Zhou Yu shook his head and said with a smile, "Ji Ling suffered a big defeat a few days ago, and he will never send troops easily, this is our opportunity." ”
"So how do you do that?"
"Just wait and see."
Shouchun, Yuan Shu Palace.
Yuan Shu laughed and drank the wine, but his hand was reckless on the beauty beside him, making a coquettish voice.
"Lujiang is coming!"
"Bring it up!" Yuan Shu withdrew his hand, and the soldiers immediately put the general newspaper in Yuan Shu's hands.
For Ji Ling, Yuan Shu was very satisfied, this general not only fought a great battle, but also had courage and strategy, and killed Sun Jian not long ago, which was a good reward for himself, and even sealed Ji Ling Qianhuhou.
And I don't know what good news this military intelligence will bring, could it be that Sun Ce is also dead?
Yuan Shu looked at the military report, and his face gradually became a little gloomy, "This waste, Sun Jian is dead, but he can't beat his son, and he wastes my food in vain!" ”
"Go, pass the order, if there is such a loss again, ask Ji Ling to come and see him!"
Jiling Camp.
Ji Ling looked at the generals in his camp, all of them were a little injured, he never thought that Sun Ce's soldiers and horses were so brave, and his combat power was far inferior.
Sun Jian died, and the other party was still unstable, but after this battle, he suffered heavy losses.
Yuan Shu's order has been issued, and naturally it is inevitable to be scolded.
Putting the holy decree aside, Yuan Shu ordered himself to quickly break Sun Ce.
How to break? Fighting a war is not child's play, just say a few words and it's gone.
Today's defeat also made Ji Ling a little afraid of Sun Ce, and now he can only wait for Zhang Xun to break Hefei, and the two will attack Lujiang together.
"Kill!!"
There was a shouting in his ears, Ji Ling hurriedly got up from the bed and put on his armor, and came to the barracks with the soldiers on his horses, and saw the soldiers and horses in the distance standing neatly, and the soldiers in his hands stabbed with the shouts of the generals.
Training?!
Ji Ling never thought that Sun Ce would despise himself so much! I was very angry when I was actually training in front of the two armies, but I had just suffered a big defeat yesterday, and I was a little hesitant at this moment.
If it is a battle at this moment, with the strength of the opponent's formation in front of the formation and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, I am afraid that I will suffer another big loss, and if I lose again, I am afraid that Your Majesty will take his own life!
This decree is really a thorn in the back!
Forget it, out of sight and out of mind!
On the banks of the Huaishui River, rows of bamboo rafts are moored on the river, and on each bamboo raft, there are hundreds of soldiers made of straw.
"Sail!"
Zhou Yu ordered, the bamboo raft slowly drove on the river, and it was almost noon, and there was no mist on the river to see it thoroughly at a glance!
On the banks of the Huaishui River, the soldiers stationed in the Ji Ling Army looked at the warships coming from afar, and their hearts tightened, "There is an enemy attack!" ”
The horn sounded, and the soldiers and generals in the camp tent came to the bank of the river one after another, looking at the bamboo rafts in the distance, revealing a fierce meaning!
The battle intent in my heart is immediately ready to go!
Liang Gang looked at the other party's formation, it was really a little scary, I was afraid that there were tens of thousands of troops!
"Quickly go and inform General Ji Ling, ask for help on the bank of the Huaishui River!"
The soldiers sat on their horses and hurried towards the Ji Ling barracks!
In Ji Ling's camp, Ji Ling was eating roast mutton, his mouth was full of oil, but the food was quite fragrant.
"Report to the general, there is a large army on the bank of the Huaishui River, and General Liang Gang specially asks the general for help!"
Ji Ling stood up suddenly, how could it be possible, Sun Ce's army was training in front of the battle, how could there be an army on the bank of the Huaishui River!
But now it's too late to think about it, after all, if Sun Ce's army crosses the Huaishui, it can directly attack the hinterland of the army!
"I will personally lead the troops and go to the Huaishui River quickly!"
"Drive!"
The horses galloped, Ji Ling led the light cavalry and elite soldiers to the bank of the Huaishui River, there were indeed countless bamboo rafts in the distance, but these bamboo rafts stayed on the river at the moment!
Ji Ling couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
"Quickly send a sentry to investigate and see what is going on!"
"Yes!"
After a while, the soldiers returned on horseback, "The general's subordinates have found out that the bamboo raft is ......"
"What is it?!" Ji Ling shouted.
"Dress up as a soldier with straw!"
"Straw?!" Ji Ling glared, and the anger in his heart suddenly surged, he was just reprimanded by Yuan Shu, and he was already uncomfortable in his heart, and the soldiers reported that there would be a large army coming here to rush here, but it turned out to be a straw? !
"Where is Liang Gang?"
Liang Gang looked at Ji Ling's expression, his heart trembled slightly, he was also told that it was a straw just now......
"The last general ...... I wonder what the general commanded? ”
"Are you entertaining General Ben?!"
"The last general doesn't dare, the last general really thinks it's an enemy army attacking!"
"Come on, Fei Lianggang glanced at it, let him learn some lessons, and report clearly in the future!"
Liang Gang's heart trembled, and his face turned pale instantly, "Although the general is at fault, but it is also for the sake of the general, and the general only asks the general to be lenient!" ”
The soldier stepped forward and escorted Liang Gang, and another soldier slowly stepped forward with a dagger!
"General...... Checkmate...... The general will be dealt with lightly! ”
"General, ahhh......h
Ji Ling said angrily, then turned the horse's head and headed towards his military camp again.
Zhou Yu stayed on the riverside for nearly three hours, watching the sentries on both sides withdraw one after another, and his heart was also satisfied, "Okay, that's it for today, and the order to go down and return to the camp for the whole army!" ”
"Kill!!"
The same was true on the second day, the loud shouts of killing resounded, and the soldiers and horses were still being drilled, and listening to this sound also knew that the morale of the opponent's soldiers was high.
Marching and fighting is the so-called one drum of energy, then declining, and three times exhausted, and this kind of morale is nothing more than asking for hardships when facing the enemy head-on.
Ji Ling didn't want to fight with it more and more.
However, the other party drills soldiers and horses, so why can't our army practice? It's also good to grow morale.
Ji Ling summoned a group of generals, issued his own military orders, and the soldiers also drilled, and the two armies were separated by five hundred meters from the front of the formation, but they were competing with whom.
On the banks of the Huaishui River, today's bamboo raft is three hours earlier than yesterday, and it has reached the time of the hour!
Liang Gang gritted his teeth viciously, and his hand trembled constantly, but his face was still covered!
"Tell the general, the bamboo raft is appearing again, but it's still a straw!"
"Lao Tzu wants you to report, yesterday you said that there was a large army coming, causing Lao Tzu to be blind, someone came to take him down, cut off his tongue and feed the dogs!"
"General, the villain has never made a mistake, how can the general blame the villain...... Checkmate!! ”
Day 3, Day 4...... Day after day......
"Kill!"
I don't know what the other party has in mind.
Ji Ling is a little unpredictable, is it because the generals in the camp are not compatible? Or is it because the other side does not want to fight with us?
In these days, the shouts of the other side when they practiced their soldiers and horses have become weaker and weaker.
Ji Ling couldn't help but be a little puzzled, it was normal to practice soldiers and horses every day, but the other party didn't take any other actions.
Ji Ling came to the front of the formation and looked, the opponent's training formation was still grand, and there was no sign of wanting to retreat at all.
The morale of his soldiers and horses has also grown back these days, but now he will not rush into battle, he just needs to hold them back.
He had to wait for news from Zhang Xun.
A month flies.
In the past month, the two sides have almost only fought in front of the battle, neither side has taken the initiative to fight, they are all waiting for the attack, Ji Ling is waiting for Zhang Xun, and Sun Ce is also waiting.
But what they were waiting for was a moment.
For the sake of prudence, Zhou Yu spent a full month paralyzing his opponents, and this month, the time of dispatching bamboo rafts every day varied, morning, noon, afternoon, and night......
Because Bo Fu also often sent soldiers and horses to train in front of the two armies, Ji Ling mistakenly thought that the army was still in front of the battle, and did not send additional troops and horses to garrison Huaishui!
Yin time.
"Kill!!"
"But the enemy attacked the camp!" Ji Ling woke up suddenly.
"Report to the general, it is Sun Ce who leads the soldiers and horses to drill as usual!"
"This kid's brain is really broken! Practice all day, go down, prepare meals! ”
On the banks of the Huaishui River.
"The time has come!"
A bamboo raft into the Huaishui River, the soldiers sit on the bamboo raft, along the flow of the water continues to flow, stationed on the side of the river Ji Ling soldiers and horses, but the camp tent is rare bright.
The patrolling soldiers were preparing breakfast.
"Do you think this battle will be fought or not!"
"It's been more than a month, and Sun Ce has been training in front of the battle every day, he is afraid of our general, otherwise he would have come out a long time ago!"
"He was killed by the general, and he didn't take the initiative to fight as a son but looked like a turtle with a shrunken head, it's really useless, if my son is like this, Lao Tzu will kill him directly!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Blood splattered and fell into the broth, and the soldier's head was pierced by the arrow, and he lost his breath in an instant.
The first time all the soldiers looked up, they saw a sky full of arrows!
"Enemy attack!"
"Hurry up and inform the general!"
"Ahh
"Kill!!"
A large number of Sun Ce's soldiers and horses poured out on the riverbank, and the large number of them instantly defeated Ji Lingjun, without giving the slightest respite, a body fell on the bank, and the blood stained the river water near the shore red!
Sun Ce summoned, "Quick, keep marching!" ”
There was no time to bury the body, so the soldiers immediately boarded the bamboo raft and continued to go along the current.
Sun Ce's camp.
Ling Tong looked at Zhou Yu on the side, and he was inevitably worried, "General, now there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses left in the camp, if Ji Ling attacks our army at this moment, our army will not be able to resist for long!" ”
"Then it's troublesome, wait for an hour to be almost dawn, and the rest of the generals will take all the soldiers and horses and go to train again."
Ji Ling, as always, wore armor and brought a sword, and when he came to the front of the formation, the soldiers in the distance were still black, and the summoned soldiers also began to practice.
"Huh?"
Ji Ling turned his head abruptly and found that there was a fire behind the camp!
A large number of shouts of killing came, and I saw more and more panic in the camp!
"Hurry up!" Ji Ling's face changed drastically, and he roared angrily.
"Kill!!"
Sun Ce's soldiers and horses instantly poured into Ji Ling's military camp, and the soldiers rushed directly into the various military camps, cutting off the enemy with the blades in their hands, leaving blood stains on the linen.
"Boom!"
The brazier set fire to the tents, and the tents burst into flames one after another, and more and more soldiers and horses began to flee in a hurry, but they were greeted only by cold blades.
"Kill!!"
A brave young general of Ji Lingjun led dozens of soldiers to cut down the enemy generals one after another, and the young general turned around suddenly, only to see an overlord gun, the long knife in his hand was suddenly broken, and the scene around him began to spin.
"Breakout, breakout!" Ji Ling hoarsely throated, a large amount of smoke smoked his face black, and his throat was injured as a result, and many soldiers and horses gathered towards Ji Ling one after another, becoming a breakthrough formation, and killing behind him.
"Where is Ji Ling!" When the roar came, I saw Sun Ce running towards him with the overlord gun in his hand!
