Li Yi looked at the boundless and overwhelming falling stones, and his heart sank. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info see that these stones can cover the water surface for several miles, and there are many trebuchets in the water village. These are just small stones, if they are replaced with boulders of more than 100 catties, and they are smashed down on such a large scale, even if they are battleships, I am afraid they will be sunk.

"Your Majesty, look, five of our fireships have rushed over!" Zhuge Liang said with some surprise.

Li Yi suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly looked, and sure enough, five small boats on his side crossed Stonehenge, and successfully ignited the fire, and crashed towards the gate of the water village.

However, Li Yi couldn't be happy the next moment.

It turned out that Huang Gai and Jiang Qin, who were driving the boat and sticking to the wall of the water village at the beginning, immediately dispatched small boats to intercept it, and when the gate of the Dongwu water village was opened, several big boats came out. After only three or two strokes, the small boat that the Tang army finally crossed the line of fire was stopped by the battleship of Soochow and sunk.

In the Dongwu Water Village, when cheers erupted, the entire fleet of the Tang Army retreated.

Li Yi had already witnessed the horror of the Dongwu trebuchet formation, and although there were some places that could not be covered, only small boats could cross it.

And Soochow also has a water army, which can easily mend the knife. If you want to penetrate the Dongwu Water Village and land, I am afraid it will be difficult to go to the blue sky.

Therefore, after Li Yi returned to his own water village in Jiangbei, he immediately gathered to discuss matters.

"The combat effectiveness of the Soochow warships is less than one-tenth of our army, but the enemy has built trebuchets and arranged them on the shore for many years, and they are able to control the waters of one mile wide near the river. I didn't believe it before, but after seeing it today, I was convinced. Li Yi frowned, "For so many years, Soochow has invested all its strength in land-based defense along the river. They were targeted, built too many huge trebuchets against our big ships, and collected plenty of boulders. The large ships are bulky and clumsy, unable to withstand the boulder throw. And the small ship can't beat the enemy's warship, how can this be good? ”

Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "Maybe you can attack!" ”

"No!" Yu Dayou, the Governor of the Navy, hurriedly said, "The enemy also has a warship force that cannot be underestimated, if it is attacked. Only small ships can cross the boulder fire line, and a large ship such as a battleship can hardly guarantee safety under the concentrated attack of the enemy's trebuchets. If the battleship is sunk by an enemy trebuchet, the navy will lose its advantage......"

Zhang Shijie, deputy governor of the city, said: "Only by destroying the enemy's water army can we launch a strong attack on the water village and burn down the enemy's water village, and the trebuchet in the enemy's water village will naturally not work." And the enemy has no warships, and even if our naval army swims, it will rush through the line of fire and land! ”

Soochow's naval forces and shore defense trebuchets formed an impenetrable direction. If the enemy's naval army is gone, the defense line will naturally show flaws. Everyone can figure out this truth, however, after many years, Soochow has made it clear that the fleet cannot shrink, so how can it be designed to lure out the encirclement and annihilation?

The ministers were all worried, and there was nothing they could do for a while. Li Yi could only order to build more small boats to prepare for war, but as for the plan to lure the enemy into annihilation, he could only slowly figure it out.

………………

Li Yi was worried here, and on the other side of Dongwu, there was a dinner between the three armies, beaming with joy.

After winning the first battle, Lu Xun quickly sent someone to Jianye to tell Emperor Sun Quan the joyful news of the victory, so as to calm the hearts of the government and ambitions.

In addition, he held a banquet in the big tent of the army camp to entertain the generals under his command and boost morale.

At the banquet, he was very excited, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Li Yi came today just to take a look at our garrison strength. And this time, it must have shocked him. Hmph, I think it won't be long before he will know the difficulties and retreat! ”

The people of Eastern Wu, just like the courtiers of the Southern Song Dynasty, had an impenetrable shore defense line before the Yangtze River was stretched across the country, and they suddenly fell into the joy of victory in the garrison.

It was getting dark, and it was very hot in the south of the Yangtze River, so Lu Xun's big tent did not have a curtain. At this moment, a cool breeze blows in at the door, and when everyone in Dongwu drinks and has fun, they see that the place where the heaven and the earth are connected in the distance, and the sky is all brightly lit.

"This is the light of the Tang Army!"

Everyone in Dongwu was shocked when they saw that the fire continued for hundreds of miles. Lu Xun said with a smile: "Even if Li Yi has a million more elite soldiers, he can't cross the river, what can he do with us?" ”

Only then did everyone feel relieved, and they laughed and drank again.

However, obviously someone didn't deal with Lu Xun very well, and said in a strange tone: "Since ancient times, there have only been a thousand days to catch thieves, where is there a thousand days to prevent thieves?" Guarding the shore, doing nothing, what is there to be proud of. ”

The person who opened his mouth was none other than Jiang Gan, a famous Jiangdong scholar.

It turned out that Jiang Gan's hometown of Jiujiang County was adjacent to Zhou Yu's hometown of Lujiang County, and Jiang Gan was Zhou Yu's classmate and friend when he was young. But now Zhou Yu was defeated and captured because of a sneak attack on Jicheng, and Jiang Gan also lost his position in Eastern Wu. Seeing Lu Xun's proud appearance at the moment, he was very unhappy.

Including Lu Xun, everyone was stunned.

Jiang Gan looked left and right and said, "The 300,000 troops of the Tang Army are on the north bank, eyeing my Jiangdong. No matter how well he guards, Li Yi can't die. He can fight if he wants to, and leave if he doesn't want to, where does Dongwu's face exist? I wonder what the Metropolitan Governor's plan is to break the enemy? ”

Lu Xun was furious in his heart, the current situation, as long as he is not a fool, he can see it. After defending for so many years, if there was a plan, he would have crossed the river a long time ago.

Lu Xun thought to himself, this is Jiang Gan's special words to squeeze me.

However, he was worried that he would be accused of passive slackness, and he couldn't say anything that was just defensive, so he asked, "What is Ziyi's clever plan to defeat the enemy?" ”

"Is there a layout plan for the Tang Army's water village? I will know it when I see it......" Jiang Gan said with a raised face.

Lu Xun rolled his eyelids and didn't say anything, seeing that it was cold. Even if he was a general who followed Zhou Yu before, he didn't care about Jiang Gan. The main reason is that Jiang Gan is too bad at being a person, that is, Zhou Yu and Lu Su saw the friendship between their former classmates and took care of him.

The veteran Huang Gai took care of the overall situation and came out and said: "Ziyi doesn't know, the Tang army controls the river, and it is really difficult to send a ship to investigate. ”

Jiang Gan said coldly: "I don't know the enemy's arrangement, how can I deal with the future war?" This is a great dereliction of duty! ”

Lu Xun was really angry this time, and stood up suddenly, who knew that Huang Gai played a round faster, and said: "We can't think of a way, I don't know if Ziyi has a way?" ”

Jiang Gan laughed and said, "You have no way, I naturally have a way!" ”

Lu Xun has been much more stable over the years, so he temporarily held back his anger and asked, "What can Ziyi do, might as well say it for details?" ”

Jiang Gan was very proud, and he knew that you didn't have any ability, so he said, "So ...... like this"

Lu Xun was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart that this kid had some ghost ideas. If Jiang Gan could find out the detailed layout of the Tang Army's water village, he would also be able to formulate a counterattack strategy in a targeted manner.

Therefore, Lu Xun held back the anger just now and said: "If Ziyi can get the layout map of the Tang Army's water village, the governor of Pontus should ask for credit for you." ”

That night, Jiang Gan prepared a big ship with good makeup, and took a group of people with good makeup, beating gongs and drums to look at the north shore.

On an attic in Dongwu Water Village, Lu Xun looked at the boat in the distance, and said to the left and right: "Jiang Gan, this kid, still has some brains, I hope he won't be discovered." If not, it will fall into the hands of Li Yi...... Hmph......"

………………

In the early morning, there are no clouds, and after summer, only this time the sun is warm.

Li Yi breathed in the truly fresh air of more than 1,800 years ago and ran along the banks of the Yangtze River. The heavily armed Tang royal guards ran behind him.

"One, two, three, four!" Li Yi led the way and shouted.

"One, two, three, four!" The guards shouted.

"One...... Two...... Three...... Four! ”

……

After exercising for half an hour, Li Yi ran towards the water village.

The Tang Army's water village is made up of giant pillars nailed into the water, supporting corridors and platforms on the water. The platform is either a house or an arrow platform, so interlaced to form nine curves and eighteen bays.

In the bay, large and small ships are moored. The sailors also get up early and train. Many warships have already sailed out of the water village and are routinely patrolling the big river controlled by the Tang army.

Yu Dayou, Zhang Shijie, Zhang Dingbian, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Gan Ning, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and other generals, as well as Zhuge Liang, the military advisor who stayed in the water village, knew that the emperor was coming and hurriedly went out to greet him.

Li Yi actually ran here at will, and since the generals had come out, he also climbed a watchtower at will to inspect the situation of the water village.

He looked at the Dongwu Water Village, which he couldn't see clearly in the distance, and said, "The enemy will always show flaws...... Opportunities are reserved only for those who are prepared. ”

Yu Dayou, the Governor of the Navy, hurriedly responded: "The emperor has taught you a lesson. ”

Opportunities can't come at once, and you need to use your brains to figure it out. Li Yi was refreshed after exercising, so he said that he would go back to the military advisors to study and study, look through Sun Tzu's Art of War or something, and see if he could figure out a strategy to open up the situation.

Just as Li Yi was about to leave, the sound of gongs and drums came from the river. He followed the prestige, and saw a flower boat appear on the river. The hull of the ship is draped in red and green, and colorful flags are displayed. The ribbons fluttered around the hull, just like the wedding ships of later generations.

Li Yi saw several of his warships approaching, and when the soldiers boarded the ships, the music on the ships disappeared. After a while, the soldiers disembarked. The two sides drove their own boats and left, and the flower boats beat gongs and drums again, looking at the north bank of the river.

Cai Mao, a southerner, came out and explained: "Your Majesty, I think it was the people of Jiangnan who came to our Jiangbei to pick up relatives. There are many relatives ...... between the two sides of the strait."

Li Yi was a little emotional when he heard this, isn't the situation of Huaxia and Baodao in later generations similar to that of the current Datang and Dongwu? He nodded and said: "The two sides of the strait are separated by water, and many of their closest relatives have become people of two countries." As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage. For weddings and funerals, they still have to be allowed to let their relatives reunite. ”
