Chapter 317: Raising Troops to Attack Wu (2)
The river breeze in early winter was fierce, blowing Zhuge Liang's eyes a little sour. Zhuge Liang raised his head www.biquge.info looked at the eastern sky, it was in the middle of the day, and it was the time when the sun was about to rise. Zhou Yujun's warship could already be seen in the distance, and the war was about to break out.
Gan Ning also looked up at the sun, a familiar scene, twenty years ago, it was such a scene, the sun will not come out, and the war will start when the sun rises.
It was the northeast wind, and the wind direction was the northeast wind at this time, and Sun Cejun released rockets downwind, causing huge damage to the Jingzhou army.
"The military advisor said that the wind would stop after dawn, why hasn't it stopped yet." Gan Ning turned his head to Zhuge Liang beside him and asked.
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, squinted his eyes to look at the rising sun, and said slowly: "The sun has risen." β
As soon as Zhuge Liang's voice fell, the wind slowly decreased, and then stopped.
Gan Ning looked at Zhuge Liang's eyes and said with admiration on his face: "Military advisor, he is really a god." β
"Hehe, carving insect skills." Zhuge Liang waved his fan and said, in fact, Zhuge Liang has deduced hundreds of times for today's battle, in the years in Xiangyang, he has thoroughly studied the wind direction on the Yangtze River, especially the wind in this winter, from time to time, for a thing, even if it is the ever-changing Yangtze River, as long as you study it thoroughly, then you can conquer him.
The sun came out, the fog slowly dissipated, Fa Zheng looked at the three sailing ships in the distance, and slowly spoke: "The wind has stopped, there should be enemy exploration ships in the distance, why not take this opportunity to catch up and sink those three ships." β
Zhuge Liang said: "It seems that Zhou Yu also wants to explore our military situation first, so the general will give them a big gift!" β
Gan Ning laughed and said, "Okay! The standard-bearer, inform Zhang Ren and Wen Ping, let him go into battle, destroy the enemy ship, and leave one for him to go back and tell Zhou Yu. β
Then the flag-bearer on the main ship waved the flag, passed it to the flag-bearer of the nearby warship, and shot out the letter of Gan Ning's order, one ship shot to another, and passed fifteen warships in a row, which was passed to Zhang Ren and Wen Ping.
Chen Wu was following Zhou Yu's order to come to detect the enemy's situation, he looked at the ironclad warships in the distance, each warship was very large, stretching for nearly ten nautical miles, such a battle, really shocked Chen Wu's heart. The wind suddenly stopped, and Chen Wu remembered what Zhou Yu had said, when LΓΌ Meng advised Zhou Yu to attack the enemy with the wind, but Zhou Yu replied that he could not fight. Chen Wu ordered the soldiers to start rowing back. When he came out to explore this time, the boats he brought with him were not large, each of them could accommodate about 20 people, and even if there was no wind, he could row back.
But at this moment, three warships came out on the two flanks of the enemy camp, a total of six, and rushed towards Chen Wu!
"How is that possible! If there is no wind, how can the ship be so big? β
"Is there a water monster dragging it?"
"Oh my God! Why is the ship smoking, is it burning? β
"It's terrible, run away!"
Chen Wu shouted: "Calm down for me, row quickly." β
But manpower is never comparable to the steam engine, the times are advancing, and manpower is to be eliminated, Zhang Ren and Wen Ping led the army to catch up, six ironclad warships surrounded the three wooden boats in the middle, the volume is obviously a lot different, like six wolves looking at the three rabbits, or rabbit cubs, cubs without the ability to escape.
"Put!" Wen Ping and Zhang Ren ordered almost at the same time, and dozens of ropes were thrown out of the six ironclad warships, and the iron hooks tied to the front of those ropes hooked the wooden boats.
After that, Wen Ping and Zhang Ren ordered again, and the warship moved in six directions at the same time, and the wooden boat that was hooked began to fall apart the moment the rope was straightened, and all the people on board fell into the icy river.
The first, the second, dismembered two wooden ships in a row. The soldiers who fell into the river struggled and were all rescued by the soldiers on the third wooden boat, the wooden boat that could have held twenty people, now it was carrying sixty people, and the soldiers on the boat were tightly huddled together, and now Chen Wu's soldiers couldn't wave their hands even if they wanted to bend their bows and shoot arrows, but they were squeezed together.
Zhang Ren looked at the Dongwu soldiers who were tightly huddled together, stood at the bow of the boat, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers of the six ships began to hold wooden barrels, which were filled with water and poured towards the small wooden boat.
On a winter morning, being splashed on my body by this cold water, the biting coldness can make people very uncomfortable.
"Damn! This Chu army wants to freeze us to death! Chen Wu roared angrily in his heart.
"Listen to the soldiers of the ship, the sun will disappear in a short time, and then you will be frozen into ice sculptures, and when the wind blows again, you will float back to the camp with the wind, and now you can choose whether to let the boat bring back your corpses or to bury yourself in the river." Wen Ping spoke loudly.
The faces of the enemy soldiers on the wooden boat were gray, and Chen Wu shouted: "You can kill but not be humiliated, let go of the arrows!" β
Zhang Ren and Wen Ping ignored Chen Wu at all, and continued to order the soldiers to splash water, and Wu Jun was taken a cold shower, and in this terrible weather, he was so cold that he curled up together.
Zhang Ren said to Wen Ping: "General Wen, there are too many enemies, I think if we splash water again, the ship will sink, so it is better for us to throw down two." β
After Zhang Ren finished speaking, he took off the arrow on his back, bent his bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow, and a Wu soldier fell down in response to the sound and fell into the river. Wen Ping also took down the arrow and shot an arrow, a soldier fell into the river, two of you an arrow and I an arrow, just like a competition for archery, but the target used was a person, and every arrow would kill a Wu soldier.
Chen Wu saw that the soldiers had died in fourteen people, and his heart was furious, and when Wen Ping shot an arrow, he reached out and grabbed Wen Ping's arrow, raised his bow high, and shot at Wen Ping, Wen Ping saw an arrow from the wooden boat, turned his head to dodge an arrow, and continued to shoot arrows at the wooden boat.
"That's it, if you shoot it again, you'll be dead." Zhang Ren put away the arrows, lay on the railing and said to the Wu soldiers: "You have two choices now, not to be precise, there are three choices, first, wait on this wooden boat to be frozen into ice sculptures, the second option is to jump into the river and die, and third, surrender to my Chu State, the general has an order, but whoever surrenders is the people of my Great Chu, and they will be descendants." β
Knowing that they are going to die but charging into battle, the soldiers will do it, because if they retreat, there will be guns staring at them behind, and if they rush, there will be a glimmer of life, not to mention that there are people who will die with them; However, waiting for death, knowing that it is death, but still sitting and waiting for death, is not something that anyone can do.
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old young soldier, with tears streaming down his eyes, waved his hands loudly and cried: "General, I don't want to kill me, I surrender, I surrender." β
The child cried and waved at Zhang Ren, tears flowed out, soaking wet, I don't know if it was cold or frightened, and I couldn't stop shivering.
With the child's cry, three or four soldiers also shouted for surrender.
Chen Wu said angrily: "How can my Jiangdong disciples surrender. β
Chen Wu is a person who can use his hands and never move his mouth, and others call him a demon, not only because he is ugly, but also because he has hard methods, and he hates soldiers surrendering the most. His knife waved, and in an instant the head of the young man who shouted surrender flew up, and there was a glimmer of life in his eyes, but when he flew up, he turned into despair and fell into the river.
"You killed my brother!" A young soldier next to him was furious and crashed towards Chen Wu.
Chen Wu stabbed again, and the young soldier's arm flew into the river, and then Chen Wu grabbed the young man and threw him into the Yangtze River.
