CHAPTER 237 ATTACK TONIGHT
In the afternoon, the weather deteriorated, and in the morning the sun did not come out for long, and in the afternoon it was completely obscured by clouds, and the whole sky was gray. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Now that it is winter, the cold wind on the river is even worse, blowing people shivering.
Huang Yue sat in the cabin, and the cold wind blew in, and he couldn't help but tighten his collar.
Deng Bao obediently handed over the scarf: "Auntie, now that the weather is getting colder, it won't rain at night, right?" ”
Huang Yue stood up and said with a smile: "It shouldn't be so fast, but the time is almost up, Mr. should have already arrived in Jiangxia, and we should also attack." ”
Deng Bao looked at the sky again: "Alas, if the weather is good, we can fly a few times and throw a few more eggs." ”
"You can't fly around, in this kind of weather, I'm afraid that your wings will be blown off before you can fly! Besides, I've told you several times, flying this kind of thing, you should use it as little as possible, if the enemy knows the details and lacks mystery, just those few iron eggs will not be of much use. Huang Yue raised his feet and walked out of the cabin.
Deng Bao followed: "I know, I just can't help it." ”
Huang Yue put the scarf together, got off the big boat and the small boat, and sailed towards Meng Da's big boat.
Meng Da and Liu Pan are playing chess.
Meng Da is indeed a literate person, and he has a good appearance in Go.
Although Liu Pan often reads history books and studies the art of war, he really can't show much interest in playing such a slow and logical thing as Go, and it is impossible to be Meng Da's opponent.
"No, no, no, always lose, you want to be angry with my old man." He clasped his hands together and brought all the pieces on the board together.
Meng Da was very proud: "My lord, you should learn to play chess more." If you think about it, now we just want to surround the enemy in this Baqiu water, gather and annihilate them, isn't it the same as playing Go? ”
"Two adults, what a Yaxing." Huang Yue smiled and walked into the cabin.
"I don't like to go around on this chessboard, if you want to play, you can play for real." Liu Pan stood up.
Meng Da also stood up to greet him: "Is it time to come?" ”
Huang Yue nodded: "It is estimated that it should be about the same." Now that we are so far away from him, and there are enemy troops in between, it is impossible to exchange information and get an accurate time. ”
Meng Da also said: "Since you are going to attack with fire, I think this day is going to change, tonight is just taking advantage of the strong wind to set fire, and if you wait, if it rains and snows, it will be difficult for the fire attack to work." ”
Huang Yue smiled: "What the adults said is very true. I'm a woman, and I was still a little hesitant, but God made up my mind to take advantage of tonight, let's go all out. ”
Liu Pan rubbed his hands together: "I've been waiting for three days, I can't wait for a long time, I'm really worried, if I wait any longer, the enemy will soon see through our scheme, it's time to do it!" ”
Meng Da said: "The north wind must be strong tonight, and the fire must take advantage of the wind." ”
Huang Yue had already been instructed by Ge Liang to try his best to let Meng Da take the idea, and immediately said to Meng Da: "Presumably, the adults must have a clever plan in their hearts. ”
Meng Da nodded: "Now the enemy's fleet is parked in the waters around Baqiu, and the momentum is huge, partly in the waters of the Yangtze River, and partly in the large and small lakes outside Baqiu City. In my opinion, tonight, we should attack the enemy ships parked in the waters of Baqiu Lake with all our strength, and in addition, we should divide our forces to block the enemy ships on the surface of the Yangtze River. ”
Liu Pan nodded again and again, what Meng Da said made sense.
Meng Da asked Liu Pan again: "My lord, the men and horses on the side of Baqiu you are talking about, are we going to move, and they will also attack immediately?" ”
Liu Pan responded: "Of course, as soon as the fire burns out at night, it can be seen dozens of miles away, they will naturally know, and of course they will immediately take the opportunity to attack." They're always ready. ”
Meng Da shook his head and said: "Actually, it's better for them to attack later, if we set fire here, the enemy will naturally flee to the south, if our army stops, they have no way back, and they will definitely fight to the death." In that case, I'm worried that the thousands of soldiers over there will suffer unnecessary losses. ”
Liu Pan didn't agree: "I said it all, if you want to play, you can play really, the enemy was burned at the intersection of rivers and lakes in the north, why do you have to run south?" Didn't I give them a city of Baqiu? Naturally, they will hide in the city, where will they go against the Hunan River and run to Changsha to die? ”
What Liu Pan said made sense, Meng Daguang memorized the book of reciting soldiers, and it was a little embarrassing to be said that it was not in line with reality.
Huang Yue hurriedly said: "What the two adults said makes sense! ”
Meng Da and Liu Pan glanced at each other, and felt that they couldn't lose their dignity in front of the military master's wife, so they changed their tones, calmed down and discussed carefully, and finally decided that after everyone cut into the enemy fleet together, Meng Da would lead the army to be responsible for blocking the enemy army on the river, who would let him have more men and horses than Liu Pan.
Liu Pan led the ship downwind and set fire to the enemy ships stranded on the surface of Baqiu Lake, because he was most familiar with the waters there, and it was convenient to pursue and defeat the enemy.
After the consultation was completed, he immediately ordered the food to be made, and everyone had a full meal.
In the evening, the ships set sail and moved forward quickly.
At the forefront, all of them were assault boats, each with only four or five sergeants, dressed in double armor and strong bows and short knives, and it was not long before they encountered a small group of enemy scout boats.
The sergeants only buried their heads in the paddling and dodged the enemy ships flexibly, because of the double armor protection, the enemy's arrows did not do much damage, so as long as they were not hit by the enemy ships, the sergeants did not return fire at all, but just quickly interspersed forward.
It was another starless and moonless night, and the small boats of the Jingzhou army were not lit, and the Wu army's detective ships could not figure out how many ships the enemy had come, and the fire of the oil lamps on their own ships could not shine far, but became the guiding lights of the enemy.
Wu Jun only saw that there were enemy ships flying downstream, so he was so frightened that he quickly turned around and went back to report the news, and for a time the ships of the two armies started a rowing competition.
When the small ships in Jingzhou approached the enemy's large fleet, the enemy had just realized that something was wrong and was ready to block it.
The Jingzhou boat still took advantage of the night, regardless of the desperate efforts to intersperse with the enemy's big ship.
When the enemy had also released many small boats, and the enemy troops on the big ships were all holding back with bows and arrows, they stopped their boats and threw some small wine cans and oil bottles loaded on the large ships of the enemy.
"Bang! Bang! The wine jar was smashed on the enemy ship, and the strong smell of wine immediately dispersed with the wind, confusing all the Wu troops at once.
Are these enemies still here to comfort us?
Some people even carried torches to the place where the wine jar was broken to see what was going on.
The torch shone on the ground, and immediately ignited the alcohol that flowed on the plank, and soon the grease as well.
The soldiers of the Jingzhou Army, who had finished throwing the wine cans and oil bottles, had already struck the fire sickle to light the oil fire, ignited the rocket, and threw it at the big ship. (To be continued.) )
