Chapter 774: Beachbreaking
The starry sky paved the Milky Way, the bumpy waves rushed onto the river beach, the sound of the rushing water and the noisy noise from the Jiangdong Water Village along the coast converged together, the bonfire stretched and the sound of people gradually increased, many of which were deliberately made noise, which was ordered by the main general Lu Su, which was a measure to prevent the Jin army from landing on a small scale from him and attacking the water village at night. {with}{dream} щ{suimеng][lā}
The sound of the crashing tide reached the tent.
In the tent with the lights on, a burly figure sat up from the wooden couch, looked at the oil lamp on the desk for a while, wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, put on a single coat, and sat back behind the long case.
"Fetch me a basin of water."
After sitting for a while, Lu Su asked the guards outside the tent to bring a basin of cold water, which was wet and cold on his face, and his tired demeanor improved slightly. Gongsun Zhiping Jingzhou and Yizhou became emperors, and the predicament faced by a corner of Jiangdong was like Mount Tai collapsing overhead, and Lu Su, who was appointed as the commander of the soldiers and horses, was facing as much pressure as you can imagine.
And now in April, there is no news about the war in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but it will not be easy to think about it, and he is facing the entire Jingzhou naval army and the fleet of Yizhou, and it is extremely cautious to adopt the strategy of sealing the river with iron cables, a full 2,700 warships, of which there are more than 1,000 large boats carrying soldiers and horses, once they are allowed to rush through Pengze and land on the other side of Zongyang, basically no one can stop this invincible soldier.
"With Chibi in front, Gongsun Zhi will never make a mistake like Cao Cao again, how should this battle be fought......"
He looked at the map on the desk and muttered. As an opponent, Gongsun Zhi started as a horse thief, and after more than ten years of fighting in the south and the north, once he made a move, no matter who he was, he was a little hairy in his heart, for fear that he would miss something and be exposed in front of the other party, and then be defeated in one fell swoop. The soldiers came in and carried the water away, but they didn't notice it, until the tent was opened again, and a tall, armored Jiangdong man walked in by the night, took off his iron helmet and showed a resolute look.
Striding in, he saw Lu Su, who was frowning and thinking hard behind the long case, and laughed: "The enemy hasn't fought yet, so I will first worry the governor to death, this river mouth has been blocked, so Cai Mao and Zhang Yun will not think about you and me unless they fly over." The Jiangdong man pressed the iron helmet on the desk and sat down cross-legged on the opposite side, "As the saying goes, the northerners ride horses, the southerners ride boats, that Gongsun Zhi has always won with cavalry, and when he arrives on this river, I am afraid that he has no ability, rather than sitting and waiting for him to find our weakness, it is better to use our length and attack his shortness!" Zi respects himself as the main general, and is as honest as ever. ”
"What Ziming said is not unreasonable, but what I am worried about is that Gongsun Zhi will also attack us with his own strengths."
Lu Su shook his head, pushed the map a little over, and drew a few points along the Pengze waters with his fingers. The man looked at it and said with a smile: "Zi respects, I understand, but I have set up beacon towers along the coast, and several places where the water is deep, and defenses have also been arranged, as long as Gongsun Zhi's people come, they will attack it halfway!" ”
The two discussed for a while, walked out of the tent, and walked through the tents, at this time the sky was a little leaden and hazy, and the stars and moon in the sky gradually disappeared, "Speaking of which, Su was recommended by Gongjin at the beginning, and he only had a little status in Jiangdong, and the world is impermanent, and I don't know what happened to him?" Ziming, you say, as the lord said, he and Sun Ce have really been killed by Gongsun Zhi? ”
"You have an idea in your mind, why do you ask me?" Lu Meng didn't seem to care about this, raised his head, and looked at the night sky for a moment: "The world of the great controversy is almost over, how the future of the world is unclear, but if you can leave a name in the history, you can only be here, Zijing was born in a wealthy family, and Qian Bao doesn't care, don't you want to leave a name in the history?" ”
"Stigma?"
"That's okay, at least the people of this world, and even the people of future generations, can know that there is a Lu Meng in this world...... That's enough. In the camp, the two men talked as they walked, and before they had gone far, they saw a scout on horseback hurrying back from outside, and before they could salute, they handed the news over.
"What?"
"The scouts on the river discovered the trajectory of the Jingzhou boat and passed towards Panyang Lake..."Lu Su read the information and handed it to Lu Meng next to him as he spoke, "It seems that Su's previous guess was correct, Gongsun Zhi will not stop time at the mouth of the waterway." ”
Lu Meng threw away the plain silk, took the war horse brought by the soldiers, and turned over: "... Here, I'll hand it over to Zijing, and I'll set up an ambush! ”
After finishing speaking, he grabbed the horse's belly, had already rushed out, stopped the horse halfway, turned around and arched his hand to Lu Su who was standing there, and the latter slowly raised his hand: "Ziming take care!" ”
"Farewell" Lu Meng nodded and shouted softly, "Drive!" The horses ran out of the gate, and the four hundred Jiangdong cavalry they brought with them followed, and in a moment, disappeared into the night. Lu Su put down his hand and looked at the river in the west, in the darkness, as if he heard the cry of fighting that had started.
The sky was shining.
The river rippled, and a huge silhouette could be faintly seen in the black, and the fluttering flags could see figures walking around, and then descended into the boat, and the black-skinned Numidians spat on the palms of their hands, rubbed vigorously, and held the oars. The hull of the ship moved slowly, pushing away the water waves, in the beeping water, in the gradually rising mist on the river, there were long paddles on the water surface to make ripples, countless ships with white sails folded and moving quietly, mixed with the middle, and the tall and wide hull of the ship loaded with soldiers, towards the hazy river bank to the east.
In the occasional sound of water waves, on the small boat in Jiangdong, the soldier patrolled from the waters near the river bank with torches, and while moving forward, he talked to his companions beside him, and suddenly heard the water waves that were different from the usual sound, and when he turned his head, in the blue color, a cold light instantly rushed into the range of torch light, and the soldier's eyes reflected a Western Great Qin people's throwing spear.
The moment the torch fell on the boat, another Jiangdong soldier next to him had already reacted, rang the gong, and shouted: "Enemy attack-" The sound just fell, an arrow was nailed into his head, and the corpse was planted in the water, and the three scouts resting in the cabin ran out with long soldiers and bows and arrows, and a rain of arrows came in front of him, and there was a crackling sound all around, and the whole scout boat was full of feather arrows.
After a brief moment of silence, the dense ships escorting the troop carriers showed their silhouettes from the mist, and the river on the shore could no longer be calm, driven by countless sailing warships, the waves crashed wildly against the river beach and rocks, and the short sound of the gong before also attracted the attention of the nearby beacon tower.
Soon, a flame was lit in the misty early morning, and the sudden light of the fire made the outposts on the river bank nervous, and when a large number of scouts were dispatched, someone had already spread the news of the appearance of enemy ships on the river, and one after another beacon flames burned along the river, and the Jiangdong garrison that had already been arranged nearby gathered here one by one.
When more Jiangdong soldiers and horses arrived, bows and crossbows had been erected, Xu Sheng walked in the crowd and cheered up the soldiers, "Don't be afraid, try to shoot crossbows as much as possible, they can't rush over." Then he went to the next one and said something like that again.
The sound of the warship rowing across the water is getting louder and louder, Xu Sheng looked at the north, Lu Meng has not yet rushed back, now he has to stick to this place by himself, far away, the warship sailed into the shallow water area, and when he made a sound in the shallows, the muscles of his whole body were tense at this moment, and it was rumored that Gongsun Zhi's army was brave and good at fighting, and now it finally came to him.
"Bow and crossbow ready, shield soldiers, spear formations forward, ready—" His voice sounded hysterically in the early hours of the morning.
When the ship and the raft reached the shallow water, the plank was lowered with a bang—
……
Located on the water of the Pengze River, the dragon boat is quiet and lit up.
Li Ke yawned and fiddled with the wick, the fire brightened, he held the mace and leaned back to the corner to close his eyes and pretend to sleep, the flickering lights reflected the other two figures on the bulkhead, Gongsun Zhi and Lu Bu sat in front of and behind the long case and looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard, chatting and playing.
"Wen Hou was brought to play chess so early, Wen Hou is not to blame, right?"
Lu Bu, who was thinking about the chess path, heard his words, dropped a son, and said with a smile: "When people are old, the hours of dozing are getting less and less, and they are used to fighting in the past, and this hour is actually late." Retracting his hand, he paused in his words and looked at the emperor who was holding up the chess pieces opposite, "It's just that those Western tribes are sent to death like this, will they react in the future?" ”
The black chess piece fell in the middle of the white piece, Gongsun Zhi looked at the chess piece that fell in the encirclement, there was no expression on his face, and it was only after a moment that a gentle voice sounded.
"Sent to death? No, for them, that's glory. A bunch of fanatical lunatics don't think too much"
……
"Glory—"
A Gallic hoplite roared and slapped his shield, and hundreds of soldiers stood up behind him, carrying small shields, clutching various weapons, and the next second, the sealed deck slammed open and spread into the knee-deep diving beach.
The moment the cold wind and the glowing sky light came in, the figures like a wave of anger rushed out.
"For the honor of the Emperor, kill—"
The hysterical shouts suddenly resounded through the heavens and the earth.
