Pang Tong is a person, just in terms of natural intelligence, in the entire era, he is definitely a group of people at the top of the pyramid.

Pang Tong was very smart, and Pang Tong was also very lucky, he remembered that in the past few days, the ship encountered a lot of thunderstorms, once this kind of weather came, the gunpowder would be damp or directly into the water, and the ship's sky cannon could not be used at all.

Luckily, the Ganges estuary has a tropical monsoon climate, with the southeast monsoon from June to September, bringing more than half of the annual rainfall. The heaviest rainfall occurs during the monsoon in August.

Pang Tong thought of the thunderstorm, so he immediately gave an order.

"The traditional commander's military order, the whole army rests at sea, and the next time it is windy and rainy, the ship will sail to the shore, and 120,000 people will land and attack!"

If the gunpowder gun is canned gunpowder, the chance of use in rainy days is zero, and it will be soaked when reloading. If the gunpowder wrapped in oiled paper has a probability of being damp on a rainy day by more than 60 percent, coupled with strong winds, the thing can hold it steadily, which is already good, let alone filling gunpowder.

The original shotguns had this drawback.

The army waited on the sea for two days, and on the fifth day of the eighth month, the storm came.

More than a hundred large ships rode the wind and waves to the shore, and there was hardly any fear of the rain, because they were used to it. The Huya Army, which had already had Ji Ling, chose a place to anchor the ship and prepared to lead the ship to the shore.

More than 100,000 troops landed, the scene was absolutely spectacular, fortunately it was a heavy rainy day, otherwise there was really a risk of exposure. With Pang Tong personally commanding the landing, it took half an hour.

At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Pang Tong ordered the whole army to advance, and in order to march quickly, he ordered the whole army not to wear armor, but to take only a crossbow and a bucket of crossbow arrows.

The mighty army rushed towards the Calcutta dock, and Ji Ling took the lead all the way, more than ten miles away, only four or five kilometers, and it didn't take long.

Ji Ling breathed a sigh of relief, when it was only about a kilometer, the rain had no intention of stopping.

"General Pang, here, one kilometer ahead, there is the dock, there is no city wall, but there are more than a dozen strongholds, and the dock is surrounded in a semicircle."

"Okay, according to the predetermined plan, the troops will be divided into seven routes, and the troops and horses from all walks will attack immediately."

Before leaving, Yang Xi had already explained that there was no benevolence and righteousness with the hostile country, and there was only killing on the battlefield.

The wind was mixed with torrential rain, lightning and thunder, and Amir's defenders had no time to hide from the rain, and the stone-stacked fortress was crowded with defenders who came to hide from the rain.

As for most of the defenders, they took refuge in rows of wooden houses, and at this time, a few men held out, and when the battle began, few people heard the movement at all.

Occasionally, the rumbling of scattered guns was heard, and the defenders in the stone fort could not believe it.

Pang Tong's army rushed all the way, leaving the stone castle behind, blood and rain splashed, and screams continued, but in this thunder, it couldn't spread far.

The 120,000-strong army directly crushed all the way over. When the defenders who rushed out of the wooden house were ready to reload their ammunition, they found that the muskets could not be used at all, but at this time they did not even have bows and arrows, and in the face of crossbows, there was only one dead word.

The defenders of the stone fort spotted the enemy and began to reload the artillery, but the cannon was of no use in the wind and rain.

The battle lasted for an hour, and all kinds of military horses entered the dock, and they could not set fire, but could only wreak havoc and smash all kinds of things.

The smashing of 100,000 people, what is the concept, after the defenders were killed, all the batteries were thrown into the water.

The defenders in the stone fort rushed out from behind, and Pang Tong had already made an ambush deployment, and almost effortlessly annihilated them all.

From the launch of the attack to the end of the battle, and then to the complete destruction of the dock, hundreds of large ships were destroyed, a total of three hours.

When Pang Tong ordered the withdrawal of troops, the rain had not stopped.

In this way, Amir's shipbuilding plan had to be postponed for at least a year, and 30,000 troops were lost.

Yang Xi knew that Pang Tong would complete the task, but he couldn't think of this way.

In August, Cao Cao began to transfer troops, Liu Bei began to transfer troops, Liu Zhang was still cowardly after all, and did not dare to make a move to the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce and kill Yizhou.

Attacking Zhang Lu is because there is indeed a feud, and Zhang Lu is weak.

But how powerful the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce is, he still dares to call out in Yizhou, and when he goes out of Yizhou, he Liu Zhang is nothing.

Wei Gua in the Qingzhou Theater had already detected Guan Cheng's whereabouts and knew the location of the island, but he did not attack. Because Yang Xi has already given an order, when the battleship arrives, it will be bombarded directly, regardless of the ships and the army, they will all be scum.

In August, Cao Cao raised his account and gathered people to discuss matters.

According to the time calculation, Yang Xi's overseas army cannot be transferred back in a short period of time, and this is the best time to fight.

The generals were eager to try, shouting that they wanted to kill Huainan, and they were ashamed, but among the strategists, four of them did not say a word.

These three people are Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu.

Cao Cao saw that the three of them did not speak, and there was some speculation in his heart, so he said: "Fengxiao, Wenhe, Wenruo, Zhongde, you must have different opinions, if not, you and I have a total of five people, write down the thoughts at this time in the palm of your hand, if you have the same opinion, then there is no need to discuss this matter?" ”

So even Cao Cao, including Cao Cao, took pen and ink and wrote in the palm of his hand.

After writing, Guo Jia showed the handwriting first, only to see Guo Jia spread out his palm to display, on which the word "Jingzhou" was written, Cao Cao smiled silently.

The second is Jia Xu, Jia Xu spread out his palms, and it turned out to be exactly the same as what Guo Jia wrote, and when it was Cheng Yu and Xun Yu's turn, they were exactly the same.

Cao Cao was the last to stretch out his palm, but it was different, it turned out that Cao Cao's palm was written with the word "Fancheng".

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Cao Cao explained: "Although Yang Xi's army is out today, he has not moved at all, and his strength is on par with me. However, Liu Bei is a hero, if I fight with Yang Xi, he takes the opportunity to take the land, with the geography of Jingzhou and the danger of Hanzhong, if he gets Jingnan again, he will form a siege of Yizhou, and Yizhou will become something in his pocket, and I don't want it. Now I ordered him to send troops to attack Yang Xi, and he sent his troops south to Jiangxia, and I attacked Nanyang from behind, and I will go down. But if you want to attack the whole of Jingzhou, you can't catch it. The big wall of Xiangyang City is high, and it is urgent to not go down, so it can only take Fancheng and rule it across the water from Liu Biao. But if Liu Bei can win at the beginning of this battle, he will directly attack Yang Xi together, after all, Yang Xi is the real enemy at this time. But when he returned to the army, he had to take Fancheng. ”

Cao Cao's words came out, and everyone was convinced.

In the same month, Cao Cao raised 150,000 troops, ordered Zhang He and Yu Ban to lead 50,000 troops south to Runan County, and led 50,000 troops to the front line of Pei County, and set out to fight Yang Xi, Xiahou Yuan led 50,000 troops to Qingzhou, preparing to attack Linzi in the east.

Judging from Cao Cao's troop transfer, it should be that he wants to march from Peixian to Chenliu, and after Chenliu, he will enter Xiapi and regain Xuzhou.

Liu Bei only gave Guan Yu more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard Hanzhong, led 40,000 soldiers from himself, coerced Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Wei Yanhe Zhuge Liang, led Liu Biao's order, and went out of Hanzhong to Jingzhou.

Liu Biaoben wanted to transfer back to Xinye Liu Cong, and went south to Jiangxia with Liu Bei's troops, Zhuge Liang said: "Now Cao Cao and Yang Xi attack each other, Liu Jingzhou still has something to use, it is Cao Cao and take Jingzhou in the future, but the world is unpredictable, please general just in case." ”

When Liu Biao heard this, he also felt reasonable, so he did not transfer back to the Nanyang garrison, but Liu Bei led the army to the south and joined forces with Liu Qi to attack Jiangxia.

Liu Bei went to Anlu, Zhang He went to Runan, Cao Cao went to Pei County, Xiahou Yuan went to the border of Qi County, and Yang Xi went to Chenliu in person, together with Tai Shici, to resist Cao Cao.

Xiahou Yuan's soldiers and horses have their own Wei Gua and Zhang Liao to resist, as for Jiangxia, there are 30,000 soldiers and horses in Maoluan, Yang Xi in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, so that the deputy commander of the Jingnan Theater Wen Ping, led the Tuntian army of 30,000 to Wuchang, thinking that it was a deterrent.
