Chapter 613: A Thousand Rafts Go Together
On the bank of the river, Su Zhe was sitting on the crotch of the red rabbit, and Xu Xing was on the shore, observing the situation of the Yangtze River.
Looking at the rolling river in front of him, and then looking at the steep mountains on the north and south banks, gradually rising, Su Zhe couldn't help but sigh: "The Yangtze River and mountains here are so steep, no wonder the ancients wanted to build a city in Chaisang." ”
The generals who followed left and right also sighed with emotion.
"Xingba, do you have the confidence to defeat that Sun Ce in a water battle?" Su Zhe looked at Gan Ning.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the body of the first general of the Great Wei.
Gan Ning pondered for a moment, and sighed: "Back to King Wei, if it is just a confrontation with Sun Ce, the last general is confident that he has a fifty percent chance of winning, but now that Sun Ce has one more Lu Meng under his command, it is not easy to say that the last general is not very good." ”
Deng Ai, Huang Zhong and other generals all changed their faces slightly when they heard Gan Ning's words.
Who is Gan Ning, that is a Jinfan thief, who was arrogant when he was across the Yangtze River and asked himself how arrogant he was invincible on the water.
is such an arrogant person, but now he is full of jealousy of Lu Meng, and he doesn't even have the slightest confidence to win a water battle.
The strength of this Lumeng water battle can be seen from this.
Su Zhe was not surprised, how strong Lu Meng was, others didn't know, but he, a "person who came over", couldn't be clearer.
"King Wei, if we want to destroy Jiangdong, we must first defeat Chaisang, if we want to defeat Chaisang, we must first win Sun Ce's army, since even Gan Xingba said that there is no necessary certainty, it seems that this battle to destroy Sun is not good......"
The veteran Huang Zhong's tone was not confident, after all, he was strong in land warfare, and he was not confident in water warfare.
For a while, all the generals fell silent, and the fighting spirit that was still strong and confident couldn't help but cool down at this time.
"Actually, we don't need to fight a water war with Sun Ce at all." Pang Tong, who had not spoken, suddenly said this.
Everyone was shocked, and looked at Pang Tong with blank and surprised eyes.
Deng Ai was puzzled: "Madam, if we don't fight a water war and wipe out Sun Ce's army, how can we cross this vast river?" ”
"Have you all forgotten, do we still have the King of Wei, and how we took Xiakou?" Pang Tongqiao's face showed a little sly smile.
Everyone's eyes looked at Su Zhe in unison, their eyes rolled a few times, and they suddenly came to their senses.
Deng Ai said with a look of surprise: "Madame's meaning, is it to ask King Wei to use immortal magic to freeze the Yangtze River again, and our army will directly cross the river by ice and kill Chaisang City from the land?" ”
Pang Tong didn't speak.
"That's not going to work." Deng Ai said: "The last time we attacked Xiakou, we killed the enemy army by surprise, so that we could break the city unexpectedly, and now Sun Ce's 60,000 troops are all in Chaisang, even if the King of Wei freezes the Yangtze River, our army can easily cross the river by stepping on the ice, and we may not be able to capture Chaisang City." ”
Huang Zhong also said: "Xiao Dengzi is reasonable, if we can't capture Chaisang, when the ice surface melts, our tens of thousands of troops will all be trapped on the south bank, and then Sun Ce will cut off the Yangtze River, but what should we do." ”
The generals originally looked happy, thinking that with Su Zhe's immortal magic, they could replicate the results of the surprise attack on Xiakou, but when they heard Deng Ai and Huang Zhong's words, their excitement couldn't help but calm down again.
"Who said that the Yangtze River must be frozen?"
Pang Tong responded to the generals' questions with a rhetorical question, and looked at Su Zhe without smiling.
Su Zhe looked at the meaningful smile of his beloved concubine, and suddenly his heart moved, and he understood the meaning of her words.
At that moment, Su Zhe sneered, waved his hand and said: "Pass the order, tell the soldiers to build more rafts, and build as many rafts as they can for this king, and in a month, this king will destroy Sun Ce's army." ”
"A month from now?" This time, it was Pang Tong's turn to have confusion on his face, "Since Fujun has immortal skills, why don't you enter the army immediately and take Chaisang, but you have to wait a month later to give Sun Ce enough time to prepare?" ”
Even if he is as smart as Pang Tong, he can't guess that Su Zhe's so-called immortal art is completely different from Zhuge Liang's immortal art.
Pang Tong couldn't guess that the quantum meteorological satellite that Su Zhe relied on had to be charged between two attacks to be realized.
"Don't divulge the secret of heaven, go, go back to the camp and drink."
Su Zhe dropped a pretentious sentence and prevaricated, and without waiting for Pang Tong to have any more doubts, he whipped his horse away.
Pang Tong looked at Su Zhe's back, and his pretty face was always puzzled.
In the next month, in the basin of the first line of Chaisang, the two armies got along relatively well.
Sun Ce retreated in Chaisang City, and every day he strengthened the city and built coastal fortifications, and did not send a single ship to provoke Su Zhe.
Su Zhe also exchanged courtesies, stationed troops in the upper reaches of Chaisang for more than 20 miles, and did not move all day, not even launching a tentative attack.
What Su Zhe has to do every day is to drink wine, chew broad beans, go to the river to fish during the day, and do some unashamed and happy things with Pang Tong at night.
As for the 60,000 soldiers, in addition to eating, drinking, and Lazar, they cut down trees and built rafts.
In the space of a month, tens of thousands of trees were rafted down, and nearly 3,000 rafts were tied up, lined up in the water camp with no end in sight.
Although Pang Tong couldn't guess why Su Zhe had to delay for a month, from Su Zhe's action of asking the soldiers to build a raft, it confirmed that Su Zhe understood what she meant, so he didn't ask any more.
The rest of the generals were not so smart, seeing that Su Zhe was doing nothing all day long, just building a raft, they couldn't guess how he wanted to capture Chaisang.
Before you know it, it's a month later.
It was dusk, exactly a month after the last attack using the Frozen Han Water, and the weather satellite weapon was fully charged again.
Su Zhe withdrew from Pang Tong's gentle countryside and immediately ordered the whole army to assemble and prepare to launch a general attack on the enemy army in Chaisang.
The order was handed down, and the whole army was excited.
After holding back the blood for more than a month, it finally boiled again, and the 60,000 soldiers were in high spirits and rushed to the shore to assemble.
By evening, the 60,000-strong army had all been delivered.
The more than 20,000 elite sailors under the command of Gan Ning boarded the few large and small warships of the Wei army, which would serve as the precursor to the attack on Chaisang.
The remaining 40,000 cavalry mounted thousands of transport ships that were not capable of water warfare, and prepared to land by transport ships after the naval army attacked the enemy camp.
As for the more than 3,000 bamboo rafts, they were full of straw figures, and the center of the raft was full of firewood, grass, fire oil and other flammable materials.
Seeing this formation, the generals suddenly realized that they understood Su Zhe's true battle plan.
He's going to launch a fire attack on Chaisang.
"This fire raft went down the river, and the king of Wei used immortal magic to launch the north wind, and thousands of fire rafts went straight to the south bank, and it was strange not to burn Sun Ce's warship and his water camp to the ground, it turned out that this was the king of Wei's clever plan."
The veteran Huang Zhong also understood the reason, and the puzzle was solved, and he looked at Su Zhe with emotion.
Su Zhe no longer concealed it, seeing that the remnant sun had set in the sky, the horsewhip was raised, and he shouted: "Light up all the bamboo rafts for this king." ”
When the order was laid, the soldiers immediately lit torches and lit the straw men on the 3,000 bamboo rafts.
As soon as the rope was broken, the three thousand burning bamboo rafts went down the river in the direction of Chaisang, twenty miles away.
