The eleventh battle of Chibi burned the warship
After Cai Mao evacuated Xiakou, his mind was full of incomprehension. He was still trapped in his own thoughts, and he couldn't understand why Zhang Yi wanted to attack Xiangyang? He can't attack it! If you want to attack Xiangyang, Wenpin's state of Yan is the only way to go, if Zhang Yi did not attack the state of Yan, he would not be able to attack Xiangyang at all.
The green forest mountain is between Jiangxia and Xiangyang, and Zhang Yi has only two ways to attack Xiangyang, through the country of Yan, the state of Shan, and then to Xiangyang. This road is guarded by Wenpin, and it is basically impossible for Zhang Yi to break through Wenpin's defense. Another road is to bypass the green forest mountain from the north, take Suixian, Zhangling, Caiyang, but this road route is too long, the distance between the three counties is relatively long, and the road is not very good, can not achieve the purpose of the raid.
So why, did Zhang Yi stop Zhang Yun? Cai Mao thought about breaking his head and didn't figure it out.
At this time, a tun general walked in and said to Cai Mao: "Dudu, there seems to be an enemy army ahead. ”
Cai Mao was shocked in his heart, he had been worried about Zhang Yi just now, what tricks they had, could it have come true now? He immediately stood up, stepped out of the cabin, and looked ahead. I saw the warship standing in front, and on the flagpole of the warship, there was a Su character.
Cai Mao didn't know who this general surnamed Su was, but on another big flag on the top of the ship, it was the banner of Zhang Yi's General Zhengdong.
Cai Mao looked at the waterway in front of him, the waterway was not narrow, and the Jiangdong Navy blocked the northwest direction, which was the upwind outlet. Cai Mao was very worried about the conspiracy of the Jiangdong naval army, so he once again chose to be cautious, let all the boats stop, and then sent a small boat to investigate.
The small boat sent by Cai Mao was quickly intercepted by Su Feibu, and a small grasshopper boat and a few crossbow arrows went down and sank.
Cai Mao was even more suspicious, he wanted to know what Su Fei was covering, so he continued to send the grasshopper boat to investigate.
Cai Mao was delayed here, but Li Bao and Zhang Shun behind him did not stop. The two sides were not far away, and Li Bao quickly chased to Cai Mao's vicinity. But Li Bao also stopped, and he didn't understand why Cai Mao didn't go over? Su Fei's setting is in front, and after Su Fei's interception, it is the ambush site. And this location is quite interesting, it is quite interesting for Zhang Yi, it is called Chibi.
The place name Chibi is related to its geographical features, and at a cliff on the shore, there is a red rock, so it is called Chibi. However, this place was not chosen by Zhang Yi, and he would not pay attention to every battle and make a plan. This plan was designed by Li Bao, and the location was also chosen by Li Bao.
Li Bao didn't know that the Battle of Chibi in history was here, but this place was very suitable for a battlefield. It was wide, not wide enough to spread out Cao Cao's many ships. And it is precisely because of the broadness that Cai Mao will relax her vigilance. And the waterways here are also more tortuous, otherwise it is also suitable for ambushes.
Cai Mao couldn't help but get nervous when she saw Li Baobu chasing after her. He felt that he couldn't wait any longer, and if he waited any longer, he would be caught in the front and back again. Cai Mao decided not to wait, he immediately ordered: "Raise the anchor, let's rush over!" ”
Cai Mao's army activated and rushed over from Su Fei's southeast. Seeing Cai Mao's navy start, Li Bao and Zhang Shun, who had just caught up, immediately stepped up their speed and rushed up to suppress Cai Mao's navy. At the same time, Su Fei's warship also approached at this time, and while they used crossbow arrows to suppress Cai Mao's counterattack, they kept ramming Cai Mao's fleet with their ships, knocking them together.
Li Bao looked at Cai Mao's fleet, which was constantly suppressed, and a smile leaked, and the red rocks of Chibi were already exposed in front of him.
Cai Mao saw that the fleet was constantly suppressed together, and immediately became vigilant in her heart. He kept ordering: "All spread out, don't get together." ”
But Cai Mao's boat was small, and after being hit together, the canopy was tied together, and he couldn't row at all, and he couldn't do it for a while if he wanted to disperse.
After going out for two or three miles, a fire suddenly broke out in front of a river bay, like a sea of fire.
But Cai Mao, who is familiar with water warfare, knows that it is a fireboat. The fireboat was about a mile ahead, and it was still getting closer.
Cai Mao looked at the water in horror and exclaimed loudly, "Disperse quickly!" Hurry up and disperse! ”
Cai Mao's soldiers were also very frightened, and they also found the fireboat. As long as the fireship rushes over, there is no chance of them escaping. The soldiers were terrified, and tried to separate the ship, but to no avail.
Cai Mao and the soldiers became more and more frightened as the fireship kept approaching, but they had no choice but to watch as the fireboat crashed into their fleet and then burned.
Li Bao saw that the fireboat had hit the fleet, so he ordered to evacuate. After Li Bao's evacuation, the big ships gradually disengaged from the fleet, and many fighting ships were shackled.
"Pull them out with a hook lock!" Li Bao asked the big ship to connect the fighting ship with a hook lock, and then pulled the fighting ship out.
After the detachment, Li Bao did not retreat, but watched the vicinity, and once any ship disengaged, he would ram them into it again.
Cai Mao watched the fleet constantly being engulfed in flames, and his heart was also frightened, and he shouted loudly to the soldiers: "Abandon the ship, how much can you escape!" ”
Cai Mao's words gave the soldiers a life-saving straw and abandoned the ship one after another. Unfortunately, this body of water is close to the south bank, and the south bank is a cliff, so it is impossible to land at all. Moreover, there are many boats on the water, and it is not safe to abandon them. Many people had no way to escape, either being hit by a boat and getting dizzy, sinking into the water and drowning, or being burned to death. Only a few soldiers escaped, but they were all captured by the Jiangdong naval army.
The fire lasted for a long time, and after Li Bao was sure that no one would swim out of it again, he retreated back to Xiakou.
"Congratulations to the host's forces for killing the historical celebrity Cai Mao and summoning the historical celebrity Zheng Chenggong."
"Zheng Chenggong, Force: 89, Strategy: 91, Strategy: 72, Internal Affairs: 83, Education: 76, Diplomacy: 84. Trait: Naval Warfare. “
Zhang Yi held a banquet in Xiakou to meet with Li Bao, Zhang Shun and Su Fei, "The three generals have made great achievements in this battle, and this battle eliminated Cai Mao's army in one fell swoop, paving the way for me to attack Jiangling." The three of them rested for two days, then led me to attack Gangneung, and then returned to Shaxian to pick up Di Qing's department. ”
Li Bao nodded, "My lord, now that Jiangling has no troops to defend, we should set off after dawn." ”
Zhang Shun said: "That's right, my lord, our usual training is to train endurance, and we don't need to rest. After taking Gangneung, it's not too late to rest! ”
