CHAPTER 242 BURN BURN
Not long after they withdrew, they met Song Hao and Sun Zicai, who led the army to flee back in terror. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Why are you back again?" Although it seemed that the feared thing had really happened, Lu Xun still wanted to tell himself that none of this was true.
"Ahead, there is a large number of enemy ships blocking the way, and we can't go back!" Song Hao made an urgent report with tears.
Sun Zicai asked Lu Xun in surprise: "Why did you also return it?" ā
Lu Xun didn't bother to answer, and asked Song Hao again: "What about the governor?" ā
"Governor, Governor has died in battle!" Song Hao hid his face and replied, his heart was finished, Sun Jiao and Lu Xun both retreated, and it seemed that they were also defeated by the enemy in Baqiu.
He's dead? Just dead? Lu Xun smiled bitterly, it's good to be dead, it's a hundred.
What to do, what to do? Sun Jiao felt that he had made a big mistake this time, Lu Meng was dead, but he was relieved, and he advocated staying in Baqiu, how could he explain? He sat there with a gloomy face, not daring to give any more orders.
Still Yu turned his lips quickly: "What are you hesitating about, hurry up and kill the whole team, you can't wait here for people to kill both ends!" ā
Song Hao was desperate: "Over there, the enemy is using artillery boats to directly drop firearms!" The fire, with a strong smell of alcohol, was very strange, and as soon as it hit the ship, it immediately scattered in all directions, and instantly burned the whole ship! ā
Sun Jiao and Lu Xun had just been set on fire by the enemy, and when they heard Song Hao say this, their heads were even bigger, and on the lake, the boats could still scatter in all directions, and they were squeezed on the river, and they were pinched in front and back, and they couldn't shoot off.
Moreover, when I went back to Jiangxia like this, I was going north, completely downwind, and the fire was very easy to spread by the wind, and there was nowhere to hide!
Everyone was at a loss and in a hurry.
Song Hao reminded: "The enemy will soon be chasing and killing!" If it weren't for the dozens of large ships in front of them crowded on the river, the enemy was temporarily stopped by the fire, and they would have followed and killed here by this time! ā
Yu Fan also urged: "Hurry up and get an idea, this is all burning eyebrows!" ā
Fire fire fire! Fires are being set everywhere! Lu Xun was in a hurry, so he came up with an idea and asked Sun Jiao for instructions: "Now, the fleet is being attacked at both ends, although our army still has more than 20,000 sergeants, but after all, the enemy can't set fire to both ends." ā
If you have something to say, say it! Sun Jiao stood up and urged, "What do you have in mind?" ā
Lu Xun gritted his teeth: "Now it seems that if you want to escape the fate of the annihilation of the whole army, the only way to urgently abandon the ship and go ashore and retreat by land." ā
"What, you mean you want us to give all these thousands of warships to the enemy?" Sun Jiao opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it.
Lu Xun shook his head and said: "It's not for the enemy, since they set fire, we simply set fire to it, and took the initiative to burn these ships, and we must not leave it to the enemy again!" ā
"This, this, this, alas!" The responsibility of burning so many ships by himself is too great, and Sun Jiao can't make up his mind now.
In this attack on Gangneung, Jiangdong has transferred most of the warships, and he has already lost so many battles, and then burned the remaining thousands of ships, will Jiangdong still float on the water in the future? If the enemy goes down the river to attack Jiangdong again, what else can he do to stop the enemy's waterway attack?
Everyone knows that the consequences are too serious for anyone to agree with.
However, if these ships were not abandoned, and the enemy set fire to them from both ends, both men and ships would eventually be lost, and it was important to save human lives, so no one objected.
In the end, it was Sun Jiaoyi who gritted his teeth: "Burn!" It is important to ensure the safe evacuation of the soldiers. ā
The generals hurried to divide up and order the troops to abandon their ships and go ashore.
Lu Xun said again: "Slow! ā
The generals who were about to leave all turned their heads sharply: "What's the matter?" ā
Lu Xun said: "Set fire first!" ā
Make no mistake, right? All the generals shouted: "No one left the ship and set it on fire?" ā
Isn't that burning yourself to death?
Lu Xun pointed to the east bank: "Set fire first, burn all the woods and weeds over there, and people go with the fire!" ā
"Why?" The generals are going to be completely confused.
Lu Xun sighed and pointed to the northwest bank: "Back then, Cao Cao abandoned the boat and fled ashore in this area, but unfortunately it was Guan Yu at this end, if it was me, after Cao Cao entered the woods, I rushed to the enemy's limelight to set fire, the enemy was in the forest, once surrounded by fire, it was more terrible than in the river, and there was no place to hide." ā
He didn't know that Ge Liang had gone to the upper hand and set fire to it, but Cao Cao's prevention was quite proper and he did not suffer fatal losses.
"The general is really thoughtful." The generals were convinced, and hurriedly disembarked and led the sergeants to set fire first.
Ge Liang and Guan Ping led the army to chase and kill, and they saw the flames in front of them from a distance.
Mi Fang shouted happily: "Impossible, right? Could it be that Mengda and the others have already been killed here? This work was snatched away by them again? ā
Ge Liang pondered, impossible, this place is more than a hundred miles away from Baqiu, and Meng Da and they are at a disadvantage, how can they kill here at once, after all, the enemy's troops and ships are more than twice as many as them.
Moreover, with thousands of county soldiers who had not undergone strict training, they beat the enemy so badly at once, and Ge Liang did not believe it.
While urging the fleet to speed up, he ran to the mast, stretched out his hand to climb up, to climb higher, and see the fire clearly.
Mi Fang and Zhang Wei hurriedly grabbed him: "Military Division, what are you doing here?" ā
Ge Liang pushed them away: "I, I want to go up there to see clearly, how can there be such a large-scale fire, the enemy fleet is burning, shouldn't it be along the Yangtze River?" ā
Zhang Wei hurriedly said: "It turns out that the military advisor is going to climb up to inspect the fire." For this, just call a sergeant. ā
Also, Zhang Wei's original subordinates were not the mountain troops specially trained by Ge Liang at the beginning? When it comes to climbing, they are very sloppy.
A sergeant quickly climbed to the top of the mast, put his hand on the canopy and looked at it, and reported to Ge Liang: "Strategist, the fire is so big, it seems that the south bank is burning, but I am afraid that it will burn for dozens of miles!" ā
Even there was such a big fire on the shore? Ge Liang immediately understood, the enemy wanted to flee, and the enemy wanted to flee first!
This time, the enemy reacted much faster than last time Cao Cao, and before he could make a move, he preemptively sealed his own trick.
"Quick! Fast! Go down and set it on fire! Ignite all the trees and weeds on the south bank! He immediately ordered Zhang Wei to lead the sergeants to disembark and set fire.
Fire, fire, burn as much as you want, burn as soon as the wind blows, and burn as many enemies as you can.
Mi Fang was puzzled: "Strategist, what are you doing here?" ā
Ge Liang sighed: "Alas, the enemy is cunning, and he even made a move before me. I had thought that after forcing them to abandon their ships and go overland, I would set fire to them all in the woods. Alas, the enemy will do it first and burn the woods, and then they will flee from the burned place, so they will not be afraid that we will set it on fire. ā
Mi Fang hurriedly said: "Huh? They fled before they could be beaten, how could this battle get easier and easier? Strategist, let's hurry up and chase it. ā
Ge Liang also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, chase quickly, soldiers, the enemy has fled without a fight, everyone hurry up and chase it, don't let them run!" (To be continued.) )
