The fourth year of the Warring States period, August.

This year's rainy season is longer than in previous years, pouring rain, never stopping, the water level of the Yangtze River from Wu to Chu, in vain.

Jiangxia, the Yangtze River waterway, turning the sky upside down.

In the ups and downs of a large wave of rolling waves, the warships were staggered and messy, and the arrows back and forth were facing each other, and under the cover of rain, fierce battles were fierce.

"Kill!"

"Kill the Wu dog who invaded my home!"

"Kill!"

Under Guan Yu's battle flag, the shouting of killing in the sky was covered with the sound of waves.

"Boys, rush over!"

"Make a contribution, just now, kill the past!"

Zhou Tai's Wu Navy was also fierce and unparalleled, and one by one the soldiers were fearless, following the connection of the battleships, and rushed to kill.

This is the most complicated section of the waterway in the Yixian section of the Yangtze River waterway, which is also a ferry, with nine bends and eighteen bends, and under the cover of rain, the fog is heavy.

This is a water pass, as the name suggests, and it is as difficult as turning the sky over if you want to cross it.

It just so happens to be raining these days, which makes the environment here even worse, a misty environment, the waves are constantly rolling, and you can't see the environment 100 meters ahead.

The 30,000 naval troops under Guan Yu went south, and they had been fighting with Zhou Tai's Wu Navy for more than half a month, but neither side took advantage.

The battle has been stalemate.

……

Wu State Navy, Jiujiang Building Ship.

This building ship is centered and connected to the surrounding warships with iron cables, forming a mobile castle on the water, which serves as the headquarters of the Wu Navy.

In a large and bright cabin, the generals walked back and forth. Discuss the tactics in your mind.

The main general, Zhou Tai, was dressed in blue armor and was extraordinary, but he took off his helmet, his face looked hard and cold, and his eyes looked at the sand table and the battle map, and his eyes were gloomy.

all these years. The strength of Wu's navy made his self-confidence turn into conceit, he underestimated Liu Bei's navy, and he fought in a hurry, caught in the rhythm of the other party, and was entangled to death, and now it is difficult to advance an inch.

Turning the sky upside down, you can't enter, you can't retreat.

Their tens of thousands of troops are completely trapped here. made him anxious, how to open this impasse has become the biggest problem he has been thinking about now.

As the vanguard of the Western Expedition, he knew very well in his heart the importance of this battle.

The defeated Jiangxia will make the morale of the main force of the Western Expedition like a rainbow, and it will go everywhere.

"Shiyuan, it's been more than half a month now. But it still hasn't been able to break this deadlock, how can it be good? Zhou Tai looked up. Gritting his teeth, he turned his head and glanced at Pang Tong.

Pang Tong, as the military advisor of the vanguard army, is also the only strategist he can rely on now.

"General!"

When Pang Tong heard this, his face was solemn and his eyes were lowered. Shaking his head, he said: "From the very beginning, we were introduced to this place to fight, and we have lost our first hand. One step ahead, in the overturning of the world, they all benefited, and now we can only rely on people, that is, their own strong strength, to block their attacks! ”

The navy of Wu is definitely stronger than the naval army that Liu Bei hastily put together, whether it is in terms of troops, or individual combat ability, or the familiarity of training warships, or the superior performance of the warships under his command, these are all above Liu Bei's naval army.

But one wrong step, one wrong step.

It was their fault that they were introduced to the overturning of the sky, fighting in the place of the overturning of the sky, the big warships of the Wu State obviously could not be used, and the three giant building ships became a burden instead.

Zhuge Kongming's straggler tactics used small warships to completely entangle them.

"Yellow shot!" Zhou Tai let out a loud shout.

"General!"

The one-armed young man was dressed in black armor, with a strong face and a sharp light in his eyes.

"Is there a waterway near here that can allow us to break away from the overturned and go straight to Xiakou?" Zhou Tai's hands were clapped on the frame of the sand table, his eyes were cold.

"Report to the General!"

Huang Jie groaned for a moment, shook his head, and said: "Turning the sky is the only way, and it is also the only way to enter Xiakou, our navy does not want to give up the battleship to attack Xiling, only to cross the Tiandu and fight from Xiakou to Xiling!" ”

"So, we can only keep it like this!"

Zhou Tai's face was pale, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

It's not to fight, it's not to run.

It's all angry to think about.

"It's not impossible!"

Pang Tong thought for a while, and then said in a low voice: "If we want to go over, then defeat Guan Yu and them, turning the sky is a good place, they can use it, we can naturally use it!" ”

"Shiyuan has a good plan, come quickly!" When Zhou Tai heard this, his eyes lit up slightly.

"There is no good strategy, but there is a stupid way!"

Pang Tong squinted his eyes and said: "In today's situation, they want to blockade and stop us here, so that Liu Bei has enough time and prepares more, but if we withdraw from Tiandu, maybe it is another way out!" ”

"Withdraw?"

Zhou Tai's eyes were a little puzzled, he thought about it, his face was shocked, and he said: "You don't want us to give up the warship, land in Yixian, and then attack Xiling in the north!" ”

"If so, I don't agree!" Zhou Tai thought for a while, didn't wait for him to speak, and added.

"I didn't think about abandoning the ship, but it was to retreat as advance, knowing that we retreated, it must be abandoning the ship, you think so, the other party probably thinks so too, when the time comes, kill a horse gun, maybe we still have a chance to rush through the sky!"

Pang Tong's eyes were clear, and he said softly.

Fiction and reality, this is the only way he can think of the confused Zhuge Kongming.

It is impossible to give up warships, warships are the weapons of the navy, and with warships, the navy has an advantage, and if you give up warships, it is equivalent to tying your hands and abandoning your martial arts.

"That's a good way!"

When Zhou Tai heard this, he nodded, immediately came down, and said, "The whole army obeys the order, and the army is withdrawn!" ”

"No!"

A herald quickly went to convey Zhou Tai's brightness.

"Will Zhuge Liang be fooled?" A general asked.

"No, Zhuge Kongming's ability, he knows that he won't be fooled by this little trick!" Pang Tong sighed, he always had a very cautious vigilance against Zhuge Liang.

"Is Zhuge Kongming really so powerful?" Zhou Tai's face was gloomy.

"Haven't you already learned it?" Pang Tong squinted his eyes and said: "This battle is his handiwork, from the overturning that brought us into the world to the fact that we can't get out, it is interlocking, even if you and I are careful, in the end we still enter the game and are trapped here!" ”

"Damn!"

When Zhou Tai heard this, his eyes were suddenly stunned, and he slammed his fist on the frame of the sand table, and said coldly: "If you let someone catch him, you will definitely be killed!" ”

"Then we didn't withdraw our troops for nothing!" Huang Jie gritted his teeth and asked unwillingly.

"It was Guan Yu who confused the withdrawal of troops, not Zhuge Liang!"

Pang Tong said: "Guan Yu is the main general, Zhuge Liang is just a military advisor, for Guan Yu, the success or failure of the overturning is not as important as Xiling, even if there is a slight possibility, he will not let us attack Xiling!" ”

――――――――――――――――

At this moment, inside one of the battleships of the Jiangxia Army.

Zhuge Liang was dressed in a Confucian robe, holding a feather fan in his hand, and his eyes were vividly looking at the map of the battle, comparing the regions of the warring forces of the two sides.

"Report!" A scout's voice rang out.

"Come in!"

"Report to General Guan and Zhuge Junshi, a quarter of an hour ago, the Wu Navy suddenly retreated, completely retreated, and the direction of retreat is Yi County!" The scout leaned over the report.

"Withdrawn?"

Guan Yu's narrow Danfeng eyes flashed with a glint of essence, and he said coldly: "It's not good, do they want to give up the battleship, attack from the land, and attack Xiling directly?" ”

"It's not impossible!"

Zhuge Liang looked at the road map and said: "They can't cross the sky, they can only attack from the road, but they are the navy after all, I believe they will not give up their warships to fight, this is most likely to want to retreat and relax our vigilance!" ”

"But if they really abandon the ship and go north to Xiling, wouldn't the eldest brother be in danger!" Guan Yu's face like a heavy jujube showed a hint of worry.

"There are still tens of thousands of troops under the command of the lord, even if they go north, they can't threaten the lord!" Zhuge Liang was not worried, and said very directly.

"The main forces under the command of the eldest brother are all here now!" Guan Yu shook his head, his narrow eyes shot a ray of light, and said: "The troops in Xiling have not been rectified, and there is no three months, and they will not be able to form combat effectiveness at all, if Zhou Tai's tens of thousands of troops attack Xiling, my brother will be in danger, no, I want to return to Xiling!" ”

"Wait!"

Zhuge Liang stopped him and said: "At this moment, if you return to the master, you will fall for their tricks, so let's wait, even if they go north to Xiling, they won't be able to take Xiling for a while!" ”

"Okay, wait for three days, within three days, if there is no news from them, it means that they have gone north, and we will immediately lead troops to reinforce Xiling!"

Guan Yu thought about it, and said categorically, saying that one thousand, to ten thousand, nothing can make him pay more attention to the safety of his brother Liu Bei.

When Zhuge Liang heard this, his face smiled slightly wryly: "Shiyuan, this kind of virtual and real means, you are really getting more and more proficient!" ”

"Someone!"

"In!"

"Send scouts to keep an eye on the movements of the Wu army, and report the situation once an hour!" Zhuge Liang squinted and said.

"No!"

Zhuge Liang put his hands behind his back, looked at the raindrops falling on the water outside the cabin, and smiled coldly: "Shiyuan, I want to see how far you have grown!" (To be continued......)
