Chapter 631: The Courage of the Horseman
Liu Yong didn't know this, he was thinking about unifying the Central Plains.
At the moment, his target is Koto.
The Moling under Zhongshan Mountain, under the order of Sun Quan, has been expanded repeatedly, and now it has become a big city, although it is still very far away from the giant city, but in terms of scale and prosperity, at least it has completely failed to see the appearance of the original small county town.
The tall and majestic city wall has been pushed outward for a mile, and the height has changed from one and a half zhang to nearly three zhang at present, a whole circle, and the amount of work can be imagined. It can be said that in recent years, Jiangdong's income has basically been posted here, which is a great plan of Sun Quan.
It's just that this plan had to be interrupted for the time being, and no one had the heart to take care of this matter anymore, and the civil and military ministers in the main hall were all there, and their eyes were focused on a city on the map-Wanling.
"King Wu, you can't wait any longer, Wanling is already in danger!" Prime Minister Sun Shao admonished again with an anxious face.
However, Sun Quan was also miserable at the moment, he was waiting for Zhou Yu, but when Zhou Yu was about to cross the river, he hurried to the mouth of the river again, which made it difficult for him to make a decision.
Said that the good steamed buns should be done in the face, and the decision-making should also be supported by strong troops, the spies reported, the water army was blocked by Liu Yong's water army at the mouth of the wet beard, and it was impossible to get out at all, and the vast majority of the infantry was in the hands of Cheng Pu, at this moment, he was trapped in Wanling, and the 20,000 horses that had just been gathered were also rushed to Wanling by Commander He Qi to rescue, and now, Sun Quan is also a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice, and he is really powerless in the face of the urging of the ministers.
In the city, Zhou Yu also looked at the generals in front of him with an ugly face, how could he not understand the situation in front of him, but if the navy army did not come out, the situation would be difficult to change.
"The generals will obey!" Zhou Yu got up suddenly.
"The last general!"
"Tonight, the whole army will go into battle, rush out of the mouth of the beard, and go all out to rescue Wanling!"
"No!"
Of course, Zhou Yu can lead the navy to fight ashore, but is the navy still a navy without warships? The elite, who have no advantage, are ordinary people, who are useless to the situation.
Success or failure in this move, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, this is the biggest test in Zhou Yu's life, even if he knows that Sun Quan is extremely wary of himself and intends to eradicate it, then he can't take care of it at the moment, without Jiangdong, he Zhou Yu will be useless.
Midnight was quiet, except for the sound of the river shooting, there was no sound, even the night owl who kept crying at night was silent.
Suddenly, countless torches lit up one after another, and slowly, the shadows of warships also appeared.
On each warship, there are all the men and horses, everyone is solemn, and they are completely going to die.
Zhou Yu stood at the bow of the boat, looked around, and said, "Order, go!" ”
The drums sounded, and the warships suddenly and slowly pulled out, heading towards the Yangtze River, mighty and mighty, like a river dragon out of the water, extremely majestic.
More than 1,000 warships have been dispatched, and this is the first time that Zhou Yu has used so many men and horses to fight.
At the mouth of the Yangtze River, on the same warship, Gan Ning was drinking with Liu Ye: "Strategist, what do you say Zhou Gongjin will fight?" ”
Liu Ye said with a smile: "General, don't worry, according to Ye, not tonight, but tomorrow night, now that our army is surrounding Wanling, Sun Quan and Jiangdong are absolutely in a hurry, if Zhou Yu does not send troops, he will naturally be able to preserve his strength, but even if Sun Quan can escape this catastrophe this time, I am afraid that Zhou Yu's ending in the future will be no different from that of Huaiyin Marquis." Zhou Yu is extremely intelligent, how could he not think of this? We are now a conspiracy, even if he knows that this is a fire pit, then he will have to jump with his eyes closed! ”
"Oh, it's still a military master, Gan Ning admires it, come, I'll give another cup to the military division!" Gan Ning couldn't help but nod.
However, he was stopped by Liu Ye and said: "General, tonight is a big matter, you can't drink anymore, if you miss a big event, you and I can't afford it." Why don't you save it for now, and then we'll drink it again after the big war! ”
Gan Ning patted his head and said: "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful, Gan Ning is taught!" ”
Gan Ning got up and immediately shouted: "Come on, quickly investigate, and report back as soon as there is a situation!" ”
The sergeant left quickly, but before he had a stick of incense, he suddenly remembered the sound of the trumpet, which was a warning, and then there was the fire, which was also a warning. In this era, the tools are backward, but people's wisdom is always infinite, and they can always think of ways to solve problems, which is not as good as this vigilant way. The sound is worried that it will not be heard, so it is fireworks, it is smoke during the day, and it is set on fire at night.
"Coming?" Gan Ning suddenly jumped to the bow of the boat and looked into the distance.
"Order, the whole army is on alert!"
In fact, there is no need for this order, in the entire Chu army, everyone has already raised their weapons and stood in their proper positions, and they are also waiting for this station to become famous.
"General! Wu Jun's water army rushed out! ”
In the distance, the sound of several people shouting in unison was heard.
There is no way, on the river, it is inconvenient to come and go, and the sound transmission is worried about being covered by the river wind and other sounds, so it can only be passed from station to station, and it is a sentence, shouted by a group of people in unison, in the dark night, this is a very good way.
"Order Pan Zhang, step forward immediately, and once Wu Jun appears, immediately set fire to the grass boat!"
"Order Ma Zhong to act on your own!"
"General, Ma Zhong has already sent someone to report it, and he will leave before dark!" Liu Ye reminded beside him.
"Uh...... Well, get ready for war! Gan Ning's face is hot, and his memory is really bad now.
"Bang...... Click! ”
A violent collision sounded, and it was simply deafening on the surface of the river.
"Haha! Zhou Yu is here, military advisor, you wait to see a good show! Gan Ning shouted excitedly.
"Shoot the arrows!"
A loud roar came, and suddenly, at the mouth of the river, dozens of fireflies quickly rose into the air, flying towards the location where the mouth had just made a roar, and the fireflies fell, and suddenly, a ball of fire burst out in an instant, and quickly spread in all directions, and at the same time countless terrified cries sounded.
It turned out that on the mouth of the Yangtze River, Gan Ning had already found some scrapped warships and fishing boats, connected them with iron chains, and put them full of sulfur, saltpeter, fire oil and other flammable things.
"Strategist, you sit in town for the time being, wait for the general to go and kill Zhou Yu, and then come to eat and drink together!" Gan Ning said that he was in a hurry to get off the ship.
Liu Ye hurriedly stopped and said: "The general is the commander of the three armies, how can he be so rash, if you have an accident, wouldn't you miss a big thing?" ”
Gan Ning smiled and said: "Don't worry, the person who wants to be born hasn't been born yet!" ”
Gan Ning said that he jumped off the warship and stepped on another warship and left, regardless of Liu Ye's call from behind, the angry Liu Ye jumped directly and scolded: "The courage of the horseman!" ”
