【342】Battle of Red Cliffs (2)

Summary of the previous chapter: The battle of Chibi finally fired the first shot, Zhou Yu sent Jiang Qin to lead the reconnaissance fleet and Cao Cao's 10 Mengchong encounters, the two sides immediately went to war, the result was a complete victory for Zhou Yu's side, and Cao Cao's side, due to Cai Mao's sending his younger brother Cai He to fight the first battle, the guide zhì lost half of the Mengchong exploration ships

++++++++++++++++++++ Cai Mao raised his head and secretly glanced at Cao Cao, and saw that the lord's expression did not seem to be as ugly as he imagined.

Cai Mao said in his heart: Our army has no less than 200 ships in Mengchong alone, and the lord lost 5 ships, which is actually not much

Cai Mao knelt down in front of Cao Cao and said earnestly: "Lord, the vanguard has investigated the mistakes of the troops, and the subordinates have been convicted, and I hope that the lord will give his subordinates some more warships, and the subordinates will go out to meet them in person." ”

Cai Mao's guess was not wrong, Cao Cao didn't care too much about the 5 Meng Chong, after all, there were more than 200 Meng Chong on his side, and the loss of 5 ships was also lost.

Cao Cao nodded, and said with a sigh: "Since this is the case, then I will give you 20 Mengchong, and you will give me face back!" ”

Cai Mao was overjoyed and said respectfully: "Subordinates obey orders!" The subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord! ”

With that, Cai Mao turned around and left

On the side of the Sun-Liu coalition army, Jiang Qin led the vanguard exploration force to win the first small victory, and was naturally very happy, and after conveying the news to the metropolitan governor Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu was also very happy.

However, happy to be happy, the hundreds of thousands of troops on Cao Jun's side haven't moved yet.

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, and immediately made a decision, ordering Jiang Qin and the others to retreat quickly.

Zhou Yu's judgment was not wrong, Jiang Qin had just left less than half a pillar of incense, and Cai Mao led 20 Meng Chong to chase after him.

Cai Mao is not ambiguous at all in the water war, Jiang Qin can win his younger brother, it is because his younger brother Cai He is a coward, and it is almost impossible to win him.

After a period of pursuit, although the interception was not successful, the Sun-Liu coalition army still lost no less than 8 red horses.

Cai Mao was stronger than Jiang Qin in terms of both warships and equipment, and Jiang Qin had already received an important retreat order, so he did not fight back.

By the time Jiang Qin led the remnants back to his position, Red Horse had lost nearly half of it.

Jiang Qin pleaded guilty to Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu not only did not blame him, but praised him a lot.

Looking at Zhou Yu's heroic appearance, Ma Xiaoquan was very envious.

Once upon a time, Ma Xiaoquan also dreamed of one day to have a time to cross something, and then make a contribution, since he has the heart of time (the heart of time is the source), Ma Xiaoquan can indeed cross, and it is not the so-called soul crossing attached to the dead and other messy things, Ma Xiaoquan's crossing is a real entity crossing.

But although I thought about it, if I really did it, the will of the historical origin would send the source to counterattack

It's better to die than to live, this sentence is the sentence that Ma Xiaoquan said the most when he was a special soldier at the earliest.

No one can't get along with money, and naturally no one can't really get along with their own lives.

With Huang Jingming and others as a lesson from the past, even if Ma Xiaoquan is full of pride, he must consider and weigh it.

Besides, since being removed from the National Special Forces Brigade and inexplicably joining this underground world organization called "Extreme Wonder", Ma Xiaoquan has discovered how meaningful life is.

In the past, in the National Special Forces Brigade, Ma Xiaoquan's mind thought most about how to complete one task after another, as for his own future, Ma Xiaoquan never thought about it at all, or rather, he didn't dare to think about it at all.

"Hehe" Ma Xiaoquan smiled, and suddenly remembered some things in the National Special Forces Brigade before.

Zhou Yu asked, "Lord Shangxian, why are you laughing?" Am I doing something wrong? ”

Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and said: "No, no, Gong Jin, you are doing very well, hehe, Ben Xian just thought of some things in the past, and it has nothing to do with Gong Jin, hehe, Gong Jin doesn't have to worry about anything." ”

Zhou Yu sighed, and asked again: "Lord Shangxian, this southeast wind"

Ma Xiaoquan patted Zhou Yu's shoulder: "Don't be in a hurry, there will naturally be then." ”

Zhou Yu nodded, although there was still some drumming in his heart, but the Immortal Lord made a guarantee, Zhou Yu believed that the ability of the Immortal Immortal was definitely able to do it

The pursuit was successful, and Cai Mao was not greedy for merit.

With Cai Mao's ability to command water warfare, he is well aware of the danger of penetrating deep behind enemy groups.

After killing almost 10 Red Horse warships of the Sun-Liu coalition army, Cai Mao immediately turned around and returned to the camp.

Cao Cao was also very happy to learn that Cai Mao had won the battle.

Cao Cao was already proud, and it was easy to get carried away with pride, Cai Mao's victory made Cao Cao's original scruples immediately let go and swelled.

Thinking of the letter of advice that Lord Shangxian wrote to him a few days ago, Cao Cao was very disdainful.

"Dog Day's Demon Dao, aren't you on the side of the Sun Liu Alliance? Hmph, I'm going to destroy them, and then hold Jiangdong in my hands, and then humiliate you well, haha"

The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more excited he became, if he could humiliate him in front of Ma Xiaoquan, Cao Cao would be very happy in his heart.

As soon as he was proud in his heart, Cao Cao immediately changed the strategic deployment that had been formulated at the beginning.

With the Yangtze River natural risk as the boundary, the upper Wulin and the lower red cliff. Cao Cao's original strategic deployment was that after the army set out from Jiangling, it would first arrive at Wulin to reorganize, and then attack south.

However, Cai Mao's victory, coupled with the huge advantage of his own forces, Cao Cao immediately decided to divide half of his forces to continue the attack, and the other half would return to Wulinkou for rest and recuperation.

Although the strength is only half, the total number of troops is more than 100,000, which is still twice as much as the 3+2 of the Sun-Liu coalition army.

Moreover, the warships on his side were stronger than the coalition forces on the other side of the river, both in terms of quantity and quality.

Cao Cao was very proud, and said in his heart: This kind of force, even if his mother beats it with his ass, he will definitely be able to beat it

Zhou Yu's side, when he got the news that Cao Cao was dividing his troops, he first sighed heavily, and then patted his chest and said, "God help me!" Cao Cao, Cao Cao, you are defeated this time! ”

Immediately, Zhou Yu began to make the deployment of the battle array:

First, Huang Gai was ordered to prepare 10 Mengchong ships and 10 fighting ships to be on standby at any time.

Huang Gai had to give the order.

Second, Han Dang, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Chen Wu were ordered to form four teams each, with 300 warships per team, and to coordinate and transform each team in a conical formation, with 20 fighting ships in each team, 30 fighting ships in Mengchong, Lu Hua, Walking Boat, and Red Horse according to their own distribution, but they all must obey the orders of the Metropolitan Governor.

Han Dang and the others had to be ordered.

third, quickly get in touch with the lord Sun Quan and ask the lord to be his backup;

Fourth, he ordered Lu Su, Kan Ze and others to guard the village, and Zhou Yu himself had to personally stand on the building ship to deploy and command

Seeing that the generals were ordered to leave, Zhou Yu wiped the sweat on his forehead and sat down slowly.

Ma Xiaoquan poured a cup of tea for Zhou Yu and said slowly: "Gongjin, you have done a lot, don't worry, although this battle is hard, it is not without the possibility of victory!" ”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly: "Thank you, Lord Shangxian, this station, our side has been broken, if you don't win, I should die to apologize." ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded and asked, "Gong Jin, you are using your own water army, Liu Beijun's side, how do you deploy?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Liu Bei's account under Guan Yu, who can command the army and the navy, is really a rare general, I have already made a deployment and passed it to Liu Bei, presumably they are also starting to prepare." ”

Ma Xiaoquan asked again: "Gong Jin sent Liu Beijun to the front to take the lead?" ”

Zhou Yu blushed: "Hehe, yes!" ”

Ma Xiaoquan pointed at Zhou Yu: "You, hehe"
