551st Shipwreck to stop the enemy
Soon after, according to the report of the scouts sent by Wei Yan to the north, there was a cavalry of 1,000 people to deal with the cavalry that was coming towards Liyang City, because these scouts had the original defenders of Liyang City, and they were also the old subordinates of Li Sima's cheap old man's pole, and this person recognized that the cavalry unit was taking the lead in Sun Ce.
So, after getting the news, Wei Yan hurriedly ordered his subordinates to close the four gates of Liyang City again, and at the same time, he was also ready to use a plan to attack Sun Ce.
And Sun Ce led the cavalry troops to prepare Liyang City to take a look at the situation. He didn't know that Wei Yan had set a trap specifically for sneaking up on him, not to sneak up on the entire cavalry team of Sun Ce's army, but only against Sun Ce alone.
Jin Jue said to Wei Yan that Sun Ce was a man who was brave and unprepared, and the battle of Shenting was proof of the fact that he was single-handed with Tai Shi Ci and fought one-on-one. Therefore, if it was properly arranged in advance, the compound bow with great strength given to Wei Yan by Jia Jin Jue would have a fifty percent chance of shooting Sun Ce on the spot, and a seventy or eighty percent chance of shooting and injuring Sun Ce.
As a result, if it weren't for Ling Cao's sudden explosion of the small universe, he was actually able to jump up from his horse and take the initiative to block an arrow for Sun Ce, even if Sun Ce would not be killed by the sneak arrow shot by Wei Yan on the spot, he would definitely be injured.
One blow no, Wei Yan didn't feel pity, he immediately waved his hand, turned the horse's head and galloped back to the north gate of Liyang City with his soldiers.
The furious Sun Ce was still stopped by Jiang Qin and Dong Xian in the end, and the military doctor of the army could only shake his head again and again after seeing Ling Tong's arrow wound, the injury was too serious, and the arrow shot by the other party was too vicious, and he had no ability to heal.
The words of the military doctor made Sun Ce so angry that he almost killed him on the spot.
The arrow shot by Wei Yan is a pure steel arrow specially prepared by Jin Jue for Sun Ce, in addition to the arrow, even the arrow shaft is made of pure steel, not only that, even the arrow is also made of leaded steel, which is poisonous, and the arrow shaft also deliberately left a lot of burrs. Once this arrow hits a person's body, it will form a large cavity in the body.
If the arrow is pulled out rashly, the person who shoots the arrow will inevitably be killed on the spot, but if the arrow is not pulled out as soon as possible, the lead poison of the arrow will also kill the arrowman.
In the end, Sun Ce had no choice but to give the order, and the whole army turned to the east, preparing to go to Fuling County to join the main army led by Cheng Pu. Jiang Qin personally hugged Ling Cao on his war horse.
Because of excessive blood loss, in the end, Ling Cao died in the middle of the road.
……
Not to mention that Sun Ce and his entourage went to Fuling County to join Cheng Pu with anger, not to mention Fu Tong, who defended Wuwei Village.
Based on the suggestions provided by Jin Jue and Liu Ye, there are three ways to prevent Sun Cejun from using burning warships to attack Wuwei Village.
First, lay stakes in the river, so that the ships could no longer move forward.
However, this method was afraid that the enemy generals would not be in a hurry, and they would use ships to pull out all the wooden stakes little by little, and then attack.
Second, the chain chain of the river sounds feasible, after all, the waterway from Chaohu Lake to the Yangtze River is not very wide.
However, in a hurry, where did Fu Tong recruit so many craftsmen and iron chains for him? Not to mention the craftsman, he didn't even have enough iron ore and tools to make chains.
Third, it was Jin Jue who proposed a simple method to sink ships and block the river.
The largest ship captured, whether it is a merchant ship or a war ship, as long as it is a big line, sail it to the middle of the river, fill the ship with mud, and then sink it into the river, when the time comes, even if Sun Cejun's generals have great ability, they can no longer use fireboats to attack Wuwei Village.
Of course, the use of this trick requires a higher size of the wreck, at least after the ship sinks, the top of the wreck must be able to block the ship sailing in the river.
Fortunately, in the process of contributing to Wuwei Village, several Sun Cejun's grain supply ships were captured, even if this kind of ship is in the Yangtze River, its sailing speed is very slow, but there is a condition that is very suitable for Fu Tong, that is, the grain supply ships are very large, if they are deliberately scuttled in the middle of the river, it is enough to block the river channel leading to the Yangtze River from Chaohu Lake.
Speaking of which, the pot for this matter is still in Jin Jue's body.
If it weren't for his suggestion that Liu Bei have been implementing the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness in the border area during the war with Cao Cao, it would not have caused Sun Ce to have to transport ships from the rear to transport the grain and grass needed by the main force when he attacked Jiujiang County.
In Lujiang County, because Sun Ben occupies the southern part of Lujiang County, there is no shortage of military rations. On the side of Zhu Zhi in Guangling County, although in addition to the county administration in Guangling County, there are not many grain and grass in the county treasury in other counties along the river because of last year's drought, but Guangling City is not far from the Yangtze River, and it is not too difficult to transport grain and grass from Wu County to Zhu Zhi's department.
As a result, when Lu Fan confidently drove the boat to the river, which was only three miles away from Wuwei Village, the ship could no longer sail forward. And at this time, to Lu Fan's embarrassment, he had already ordered the two ships at the front of the fleet to be set on fire. Unable to continue sailing, he could only watch as the two warships were burned to ashes by a fire right under his nose.
"What the hell is going on, have you found out why?" Lu Fan asked angrily at his subordinates very rarely.
In order to find out the reason why the warship could not sail forward, Lu Fan had already sent a water ghost to infiltrate to find out the reason.
"Captain Qiqi, the water ghosts have found out. The enemy used a few of our grain ships to sink them into the river with earth, and our small boats could still pass, but the larger ships could not pass. The water ghosts tried, and in a short time, they could not destroy the shipwreck of the waterway. Please think of another way, Captain! The adjutant general knelt in front of Lu Fan and reported tremblingly.
"Hey, who is it that is so vicious." After hearing this, Lu Fan couldn't help but gasp and sighed in a low voice.
However, at this time, Lu Fan still did not give up the idea of saving these warships, after entering the territory of Lujiang County, he had already sent people to disembark, ride fast horses, and go to Longshu County to inform Sun Ben, intending to ask for help from him, and attack Wuwei Village together, if he can recapture it, it is naturally the best.
Therefore, Lu Fan temporarily stopped the boat, while letting the water ghosts continue to think of ways to clear the shipwrecks blocking the river as soon as possible, while waiting for the reinforcements he was hoping for.
It's a pity that the reinforcements that Lu Fan is looking forward to are destined to not come.
