Chapter 58: The Death of Sun Jian
The words are divided into two ends, one for each table.
The Jingzhou Naval Division has begun to show its scale at the time of the former Zhou Mu Wang Rui, and has been in the hands of the Cai family until Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, the Naval Division has increased by more than 5,000 people, and the current Jingzhou Naval Division has become the current Jingzhou Naval Division with 15,000 personnel.
Cai's disciples Zhang Yun, Lu Jie, and Cai Zhongcai were jointly in charge of the four of them, and the main warships were 20 Lou ships, more than 40 ships, and more than 50 Datu ships. There are more than 1,000 boats, yachts, fighting ships, boats and other commonly used ships, of which the boats are used for transportation, and the yachts are used for scouts and spying on the military.
Liu Biao established that one of the purposes of the water division was to clean up the water thieves. In Jingzhou at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the Yellow Turban Army had little influence, it attracted countless water thieves who came to rob passing merchant ships and harass the people on the riverbank.
"Big brother, here's your chance!" Cai Zhong's face was full of excitement, "Big brother guessed well, Sun Nuran brought someone here." This is a good opportunity for my Cai family to take the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and compete for military power. ”
The three Cai brothers never took Liu Qi's actions in Yiyang County in their eyes, let alone Liu Qi, the eldest son. The most important reason why Cai Mao agreed with Liu Qi to lead the army to face Sun Jian was to wait for Liu Qi's defeat, and then Cai's naval division would win a big victory, and then obtain the power of the infantry army or horse army, and consolidate Cai's position in Jingzhou.
"That being said, you have to be cautious." Cai Mao couldn't help laughing, but he still persuaded him: "After all, this is a major event related to the rise and fall of my Cai family, and the two younger brothers remember it very much." ”
"Come on. Big brother, don't you know the power of my Cai Clan's sailor who has been training for so long? Cai He took Cai Mao's words as the wind in his ears, and said hurriedly: "Without further ado, eldest brother, my third brother and I will go to lead the army to meet Sun Wentai's boat division now." ”
"Hmm." Cai Mao thought for a moment and said, "Zhang Yun and Lu Jie, as your lieutenants, hope to succeed in the first battle." ”
Cai Zhong muttered dissatisfiedly: "Big brother is too careful... Yes, yes, the third brother and the second brother obey the instructions of the eldest brother. Here we go! Seeing Cai Mao's cold expression, Cai Zhong hurriedly changed his tone.
"Go ahead. The eldest brother is waiting for the good news of the two younger brothers in Xiangyang City. ”
……
Dongting Lake, Cai's Sailor Dazhai.
Lu Jie walked like a fly, and quickly ran into the main general's tent camp: "General Cai, according to the report of the spies, the eldest prince of Liu Qi was defeated in a battle and retreated for sixty miles in a row, so the lord was furious and ordered the eldest prince to defend Huarong Dao. ”
Cai Zhong Cai He was suddenly overjoyed, glanced at each other, and Cai He asked, "Is General Lu's words true?" ”
"Back to the second general, the news is reliable, the news from the general himself." Lu Jie replied.
"Hahaha! God help my Cai family, God help my Cai family. Cai He laughed when he heard this, and then asked, "General Zhang Yun, how is the situation in the enemy camp now?" ”
Zhang Yunsheng was quite strong, and when he heard the Cai brothers' question, he immediately replied: "The enemy army seems to be unprepared at all, and most of the warships are small fishing boats. ”
Cai He's eyes lit up and said, "I guessed correctly, where can the enemy army prepare many warships in a hurry, if our army sends a vanguard, it will be vulnerable at all." ”
"Second general, but it is also possible that the enemy army is tricky, and if you attack rashly, I am afraid that you will fall into the opponent's fist." Zhang Yun thought for a moment and suggested: "Why don't you send two thousand vanguard troops to test it first?" ”
"Do you want to miss the fighter!" Cai He angrily reprimanded: "Needless to say, the whole army listened to my orders, leaving 3,000 soldiers to guard the village, and the rest of the army all went out ......"
Rumble! Before Cai He's order was issued, there was a loud rumbling sound outside the tent, followed by the wails of all kinds of chaotic soldiers.
"What's going on?!"
Zhang Yun stood up vigilantly and rushed out with an arrow step. After a while, he returned to the camp and shouted: "The enemy has raided, and the Dongzhai Gate on land has been captured by the enemy!" ”
The faces of the two Cai brothers were a hundred hundred, and their high-spirited expressions had already been thrown nine thousand miles away. Cai Zhong was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, "Second brother, what should I do now?" ”
Cai He's cold sweat flowed out in the cold winter, and said, "Let's go upstairs to the boat!" General Lu Jie, you immediately lead the soldiers of your headquarters to the Dongzhai Gate to defend it! General Zhang, you immediately lead the troops to escort us on the warship, the building boat is invincible in Dongting Lake, quickly! ”
Fleeing before fighting, Zhang Yun was disappointed, sighed in his heart, and responded with Lu Jie. Then, he left in a hurry with Lu Jie.
"Third brother, let's also go to the building ship, with more than 20 building ships to escort us, we will definitely protect our two brothers safe and sound." Saying that, Cai He hurriedly re-exited the camp tent, Cai Zhong was so frightened that he hurriedly followed, and the two hurriedly boarded the warship under the personal guard.
Zhang Yun is also a proper commander, Dongzhai Gate was attacked, Lu Jie has already led the army to resist, he has gathered the panicked naval soldiers at this moment, more than 20 building ships suddenly operated, and many soldiers squeezed into the hazy rush, and fled to the center of Dongting Lake.
At this time, it is mutated and reborn!
Countless small boats rushed out from the direction of the enemy on the lake, and the regiments surrounded Caijia Water Village, and the water could not be drained. Behind the small boat were the two or three Monchong that Sun Jian had prepared for a period of time, and the first one laughed and said, "Even if the Cai family has wings, it will be difficult to fly out of this encirclement!" ”
The building ship was huge, and the surrounding area was full of their own soldiers, and the enemy's boats in front of them were squeezed together, making Zhang Yun and the others unable to advance or retreat.
Whew! The cold wind suddenly went crazy like the situation, and the boats that surrounded it were loaded with the Jingzhou sailors' Monchong and Lou boats even faster, revealing a smell of sulfur.
Zhang Yun's expression changed, and he hurriedly pushed the Cai brothers hard, and said, "General, get off the boat!" It's brimstone! ”
Before General Cai came back to his senses, he was pushed off the boat by Zhang Yun, and was about to reprimand Zhang Yun, but Zhang Yun said anxiously: "Soldiers, welcome..."
Huang Gai hid behind a boat full of sulfur and shouted: "Shoot the arrows!" "Puff, puff, puff, the rockets in the cold wind intensified the fire, and they shot at the brimstone ships that couldn't stop at all.
Boom Boom! Whew!
The flames suddenly rose into the sky, and Cai Zhongcai He was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, like a stupid person, and he didn't dare to move.
"Quick! Protect the General! Zhang Yun didn't care about the fire burning up the boat, worried that something would go wrong with the Cai brothers, and hurriedly ordered the guards to escort the two of them to break through: "Hurry up, I'll block it first!" ”
As soon as Zhang Yun's words fell, before the soldiers had time to go over to protect the two straw bag generals, a sneer suddenly sounded in his ears: "Hahaha, you can't escape." Surrender obediently! Before the words were finished, the big knife in his hand made the tiger and tiger angry, like a cold wind, and rushed towards Cai and Cai Zhong, Cai Zhong Cai and the revenant roared: "General Zhang save me!" ”
Zhang Yun was annoyed and angry, and the big knife slashed over, bringing the people into the scope of his attack, while saying: "General, go quickly!" Then more than a dozen knives were slashed, and the knives were fierce, and the two Cai brothers crawled out of the battle surrounded by their own guards, and the scene became chaotic for a while. Zhang Yun saw that as soon as the two Cai brothers escaped, the opportunity to secretly say that he could not lose it, and shouted angrily: "Soldiers! It's time to serve the Lord! For the sake of Jingzhou, for the sake of your relatives and children, kill all these enemies! Zhang Yun's double knife dance was so impermeable that no one dared to underestimate it, so he abandoned the two Cai brothers to concentrate on dealing with Zhang Yunlai.
Zhang Yun said as he directed his henchmen to gather the defeated troops and resist the enemy troops pouring up from the river, and the big knife in the other hand made the people secretly frightened.
Under the attack of the two sides, the momentum of the Jingzhou sailors fell to the upper hand for a while, and they did not want Zhang Yun to lead the troops for many years, knowing that the main general must not panic in leading the troops to fight.
"At that time, a certain Huang Gai will underestimate you." The person who came was Huang Gai, he blocked Zhang Yun's blow with a horizontal knife, glanced at Zhang Yun carefully, and said: "A certain knife never kills unknown people, report the name 1"
"The dog thief is rampant! Eat Lao Tzu with a knife! Zhang Yun was not disturbed by Huang Gai's words at all, but the attack of the big knife in his hand became more and more calm, and he saw that Huang Gai shouted why it was not his lord who met this person.
Don't look at the fact that there are more personnel in Jingzhou than Han Dang's side, but they are all recruits who have not experienced much actual combat, and they do not have much combat power at all. Cheng Pu and Han led less than 3,000 people to raid from the land, the east gate was lost in less than half a moment, and the water village was suddenly in a mess, coupled with the hot fire on the lake, Jingzhou injured more than 8,000 sailors, and all the warships such as the building ship were destroyed in the fire of Huang Gai.
Zhang Yun finally collected the defeated soldiers, but he didn't want to encounter Huang Gai's fearless rush again, and the degree of depression can be imagined. Under the new recruits only caring about escaping, Zhang Yun had to let the elite three thousand protect Cai Zhongcai and escape, and whether he ran away or not depended on the will of heaven.
Huang Gai dodged Zhang Yun's killing move, and said with a heroic smile: "You better surrender, Dongzhai Gate has already been broken by our army." Do you think you can break through with just those two pustule Cai brothers? ”
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Zhang Yunqiang couldn't help but look at the ** in the direction of Cai's breakthrough, and resolutely shouted angrily: "There are only soldiers in Jingzhou who died in battle, and there are people who are ruthless and stealing lives!" Brothers, kill! ”
"Fight to the death!" The remaining more than 2,000 soldiers were inspired by Zhang Yun to radiate great morale, and the mourning soldiers were sure to win. This momentum doesn't have to be sent by more than 4,000 people on Huang Gai's side.
"Kill yourself! A certain family will fulfill you! Huang Gai even persuaded two sentences but Zhang Yun shirked it without hesitation, and couldn't help but be angry, and raised his knife and slapped the horse to meet him. Zhang Yun was not afraid to meet him, and the two of them fought inextricably in the shadow of the sword and sword, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.
"Public, I'm here to help you!" Han Dang and Lu Jie had a fierce battle, stabbed Lu Jie to death with a knife, carried Lu Jie's head and rushed into the Jingzhou Navy Camp to kill the Quartet, and saw Huang Gai fighting with a young general for a long time, and immediately threw Lu Jie's head: "Lu Jie is dead!" Those who descend will not be killed! ”
Zhang Yun was slightly startled in his heart, and suddenly let Huang Gai see the flaw, and slapped Zhang Yun off the horse with a slap on the back of the big knife, and suddenly the guards from all sides captured Zhang Yun. Huang Gai then shouted: "The enemy general has surrendered, and the rest will not be killed!" ”
When the Jingzhou sailors saw that Zhang Yun had been captured, Fang Cun was in chaos again, and they threw away their armor and surrendered.
"Yigong, what's going on over there?" Huang Gai no longer glanced at Zhang Yun and asked anxiously.
Before Han Dang could speak, a war horse flew out in the distance, and it was Cheng Pu immediately, and he smiled: "Fortunately, Cai He has already been tied up, and Cai Zhong broke through with less than 3,000 people." ”
"Hahaha!" The three of them looked at each other and smiled, but Zhang Yun's face was like ashes. Huang Gai said: "I heard a report from a spy, the lord is facing more than 10,000 elites, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with, why don't we gather the soldiers and go to help the lord!" ”
As if eating a crying lotus, Han Dang and Cheng Pu smiled bitterly, and Han Dang said: "This battle is a big victory for the water army, but the public is over, how many capable fighters do we have left?" "The fire on the lake has extended to the shore, and the naval army of more than 8,000 people fought against the Jingzhou Naval Division, although it was a complete victory, but the price was also quite heavy, and there were probably one or two thousand people left in the strength of the first battle.
"But there will be danger on the lord's side."
"Not necessarily, I heard that the lord who fought this time is Liu Qi, the son of Liu Jingsheng, who is only in his teens, not to mention that the lord has the support of Changsha Taishou, it should be fine." Hearing Cheng Pu say this, Huang Gai suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
"Rectify and surrender, wait for the lord's order!" Han Dang is not suitable for authenticity.
"No!"
