Chapter 476: Two Lu Ding Jingzhou

The Chang'an front is elongated, and the head and tail cannot be taken care of. There is a battlefield in Jiangdong, a battlefield in Jingzhou, and another battlefield in Xichuan, and the three battlefields cannot be connected.

Since the decisive battle between Lu Bu and Cao Cao, the situation has been critical, and he has never thought carefully about the Xichuan battlefield. And he is like challenging the three bigwigs in the world at the same time in the same period of time, although Lao Cao has already received a box lunch, as well as Liu Ranran and Sun 100,000, can Lu Bu single out the two of them?

"Lord, Xichuan's latest battle report." Xu Shu took a letter and rushed to Lu Buzhong's army, which was marching rapidly: "Yueying has already used a strategy to capture Huzhong, Wenshan, and Jiangyou, and when attacking Fucheng, he was hit by Zhuge Kongming's empty city plan, and was ambushed by Liu Bei's army under Kong Ming's command, and returned defeated. General Zhang Xiu begged for reinforcements. ”

"It's a pity that Yangping Pass was destroyed by Zhuge Liang, otherwise it would be nice to retreat to Yangping Pass." Lu Bu sighed: "I am a doppelganger, now is the best time to fight Jiangdong, Sun Quan is good at defending the territory, if he doesn't defeat Sun Quan, not only will Jia Xu not be able to come back, but I don't know if he can fight Jiangdong next time." Yuan Zhi, what do you think should be? ”

"What the lord said is very true, Jiangdong has natural dangers, it is extremely difficult to attack, Wen He went deep into Jiangdong to hold the rear to replenish and reinforce, it is the best time to encroach on the Zhou Yu Department in Xiangyang, and it is indeed unwise to turn to Hanzhong at this time. The subordinates willed, if Hanzhong could not be defended, they would clear the walls and fields, destroy the dangerous passes of the city, give up the land of Hanzhong, and Zhang Xiuwang and others withdrew to Chang'an. After stabilizing Jiangdong, we will crusade against Xichuan. ”

Xu Shu briefly said what he thought in his heart, so that Lu Bu could make an accurate judgment.

"Herald Huang Yueying, the land of Hanzhong, can abide by the rules, but cannot abandon the rules." Lu Bu tried her best to delegate authority to Huang Yueying, and it was up to her to decide, Lu Bu couldn't take care of Hanzhong now, so she could only wait for Jiangdong to finish and then withdraw from Xichuan.

When Lü Bu led the main force of the Chinese army to Fancheng, the pioneer Lü Meng had already lined up the water village on the Han River.

Most of the landlubbers also have two brushes, the water camp is tightly fitted, the twenty-four water gates all have ships and ships, and the small boats hidden in the city are fast and circulating, and there are alleys and alleys, and the ups and downs are orderly. Even if the Jiangdong Water Army is known as the first water army in the world, it is impossible to capture it without a hard attack in the face of Lümeng Water Village.

Zhou Yu led the naval army to attack many times, and miraculously stood up several times under Zhou Yu's onslaught without breaking, Lu Meng was indeed a natural water war general.

Lu Bu led the army into Fancheng, on the one hand, hoarding grain, grass and equipment, and on the other hand, actively training the navy. The prelude to the river-crossing operation gradually began.

The northerners are not accustomed to water. In Lu Bu's army, there are mostly northerners Qianghu Xiliang, while there are few southerners, and it is difficult to pull up a strong naval army in a short period of time, but it is difficult for Lu Bu. In the battle of Chibi in history, Cao Cao was not like a chain boat, and the war horses galloped back and forth, like walking on the ground. Of course, Zhou Yu wants to attack with fire, will Lu Bu give him this opportunity?

Zhou Yu in Xiangyang was in a hurry, and every day he saw that Lu Bu on the other side was not busy with the decisive battle, and he was anxious. Jia Xu and Sun Quandi have been tense against each other, and they will decide the winner at any time. Jia Xu's defeat did not have much impact on Lu Bu, if Jia Xu won and captured Jianye, captured Sun Quan alive, etc., the consequences would be fatal for Zhou Yu. How could Zhou Yu not be in a hurry to pacify Jingzhou after the decisive battle.

"My lord, according to the plan. Major General Lu Lingqi will attack from the northwest of Xiangyang to contain the Jiangdong Jingzhou army, and our army only needs to fight against the Jiangdong water army. It's just that our navy has little training, and many of the soldiers are seasick, unable to resist the bumps and shaking, and are sick in bed, so it is difficult to form combat strength in the short term, and it is difficult to be the opponent of the Jiangdong soldiers on the river. ”

"Since our army is not an opponent of the Jiangdong Army on the river, then turn the river into flat land. In the middle of the river, the tide is rising, the tide is ebbing, the wind and waves are endless, and the northern soldiers are not accustomed to taking a boat to be affected by this turbulence and get sick. If the big boat and the small boat are matched or 30 in a row or 50 in a row, the tail is covered with a wide board with an iron ring chain, not to mention that people can cross, horses can also walk. Take advantage of this, let him be afraid of the wind and waves. ”

Lu Bu directly embezzled Pang Tong's plan to become famous, and he was not afraid of Zhou Yu's attack.

Xu Shu was surprised for a while, and instantly understood what Lu Bu meant: "It is when the southeast wind prevails, I live on the northwest riverbank, but I am afraid of fire. ”

"The soldiers of Chang'an are not accustomed to taking boats. If not, can An be able to cross the river? I'll take a gamble that Zhou Yu won't have time to prepare grass fuel. Lu Bu said. The training of the navy has been delayed for a long time, and even if it is trained for ten years, it may not be an opponent of Jiangdong soldiers who have been familiar with the water-based since childhood.

Lu Bu didn't dare to stretch the matter of locking the boat with iron cables, and only practiced the navy diligently every day to prevent Zhou Yu from finding out the news.

Ready. After the three-way drumming, Lu Bu took the stage and will:

"Order, Lü Meng led the fishermen who were familiar with the water as the vanguard, and if there was an enemy warship to stop it, seize the boat to defend against the enemy; ordered, Gao Shun personally led the soldiers of the camp and was ready to attack at any time; Ordered, Huang Zhong Yan Yan Wei Yan set off immediately after Gao Shun's camp reached the center of the river, with the goal of escorting the front army across the river. At the same time, he lit a beacon fire and conveyed instructions to Lu Lingqi to attack Xiangyang City immediately. ”

Zhou Cang is the most accustomed to water, and led 20 sentinel boats out of the village first, looking at the upper and lower reaches of the river to spy on the enemy. Then the large and small ships are out of the water village, lined up, locked the wide board, Chang'an Jiashi sat firmly on the horse, and went to the river against the wind.

Xiangyang Zhou Yu heard the noise and shaking on the river across the river, unlike the recent days when he moved the training drums, went to the city to watch, only to see the fog all over the river, only heard the sound and saw no one, and his heart was suspicious.

Several Jiangdong patrol scouts used their hands and feet together, rowed their oars, and the boat rushed to report Zhou Yu:

"Report, the Lu Bujun Brigade has arrived in the heart of the river!"

At this time, a scout outside the west gate quickly whipped his horse and rushed straight to the city gate: "Report, urgent report." Lü Lingqi and Zhang Liao led a large army to attack, and Wen Chou retreated the camp into twenty miles in the rear and set up camp in the village. ”

Two war reports came to Zhou Yu to know that Lu Bu was determined to attack in an all-out way and forcibly capture Xiangyang. Zhou Yu's face was full of joy, he was afraid that Lu Bu would not be able to hold on and delay time. Lu Bu wanted a decisive battle, and Zhou Yu was happier than anyone else.

Zhou Yu looked around at the generals and saw that the generals had different expressions, especially the civil and military officials in Jingzhou, who were even more mournful, and their faces were staggered. Zhou Yu encouraged: "I regard the enemy army on the river as children, and only Lu Lingqi's army outside the West Gate is a problem for my henchmen. ”

Of course, Zhou Yu has proud capital, he not only mastered the Jingzhou Naval Army, but also the more elite Jiangdong Naval Army, only the land combat strength is far inferior to the Chang'an Iron Cavalry, fortunately, there is no cavalry at Lu Lingqi.

"Although he is not talented, he is willing to serve the governor of the capital and guard my Jingzhou. The last general was willing to raise troops out of the West Gate to meet Lu Lingqi, and give the Dadu Governor a moment to fight for the strong enemy on the Pingjiang River. ”

Among the generals in Jingzhou, suddenly a gun-wielding general came out of the column to ask for battle. Zhou Yu regarded it as a literary appointment. Zhou Yu knew that Wen Ping was one of the few famous generals in Jingzhou, and in the past, the first war abolished Lu Bu's fierce general's palm, causing the elite of Lu Bu's first battalion to slowly fade out of the battlefield.

"There is General Zhongye to defend against the enemy, and my heart is at peace. In this way, I will send two more fierce generals to accompany you to fight and cheer. Zhou Yu stretched out his hand and pointed to Li Yi and Xie Jing, who were not good at water warfare.

Zhou Yu asked again: "The enemy on the river must be the main force, if we cross the river, although our army has 100,000 defenders of the city, there is no chance of victory." Who dares to fight to break the enemy? ”

Han Dang, Zhou Tai, Gan Ning and the three stood up at the same time: "The last general should be the vanguard to break the enemy." ”

Zhou Yu quietly listened to the sound of the river, calculating the fastest time for the Chang'an army to cross the river, at this time the southeast wind was raging, and the army on the other side of the river was advancing hard and slowly. Zhou Yu knew that Lu Bu's account was full of talents, and he was planning to do things like Xu Shu and others, and his talent was not under him, so he was worried that this was a plot of several people, so he didn't dare to go all out, so he only sent Cheng Pu and Zhou Tai to tentatively lead the Clippers to attack. Each village is strictly guarded and cannot be moved.

Zhou Cang relied on his courage to build a ship like flying. Han Dang stood on the bow of the boat with a spear in his hand, without losing the demeanor of a master and a fierce general. When Zhou Cang's boat arrived, he ordered the sergeant to shoot Han Dang from the ship. Han Dang ordered the soldiers to hide back in the warehouse, and threw their bows from the warehouse door to return fire.

When the two ships were bombarded by Zhou Canghan, suddenly the ship shook violently, only to see a side rushing to Zhou, and the sailors on the Zhou Cang ship were too late to overtake the ship to dodge, and were hit squarely, and the side of the ship was knocked out of a gap in the boss, and the river was full of water into the warehouse, and the ship sank rapidly in the center of the river.

"The boat is sinking, jump into the river!"

The two boats collided, and Zhou Cang jumped up first and jumped into Han Dang's boat.

"Good time!"

Han Dang shouted loudly and slaughtered Zhou Cang with a twist of his spear. Zhou Cang's foothold was unheard, and he was powerless and could not be higher than Han Dang, and he was killed for a while with only the power to parry. In a panic, Zhou Cang crashed into the warehouse, and there were Jiangdong naval forces in all directions. Zhou Cang's anger exploded, and he carried a gun to kill the sergeant of the boat, and the sailors on both sides used uneven force, and Han Dang's car circled on the river.

Han Dang chased after him, Zhou Cang couldn't avoid it, couldn't escape, gritted his teeth and turned around, and was shot hard by Han Dang on the thigh, reporting that Han Dang both crashed out of the boat and fell into the water. Zhou Cang wanted to die together, and dragged Han Dang to the death, and the two fought fiercely in the water. Zhou Cang's water nature is very good, just sink Han Dang into the river......

When the sentinel boat encountered the enemy, the pioneer Lü Meng had already learned about it, and the soldiers in a hurry accelerated their rowing and came to the rescue.

Zhou Tai heard the sound of breaking water in the fog not far away, and knew that it was the arrival of the enemy brigade, so he set up the fleet and prepared to fight. I just heard a loud shout on the river:

"Put!"

"Boom!"

There was a deafening sound of giant crossbows one after another, and it was endless.

"Bump!"

Zhou Taidi's boat shook for a while, and he saw a huge arrow with a thicker arm nailed to the center of the mast, and the huge force almost smashed the ship away. Giant arrows were not one, but one after another, flying densely. Several of the soldiers who couldn't dodge the ground were knocked open in the chests of a large hole in the bowl, which could easily pass their heads through.

The soldiers brought out by Zhou Tai cried for a while, rowing the boat to turn and flee back, Zhou Tai didn't see anything, so he lost the soldiers and lost the ship, how could he be willing, just about to stop the soldiers from fleeing, only to see the boat uncontrollably turned over, and it was about to roll over into the water.

"How so?"

Zhou Tai stared at the ship and observed it carefully, only to find that there were countless ropes tied to the tail of the giant arrow, and under the pull of the Chang'an soldiers in the fog, the ship was about to overturn uncontrollably.
