Chapter 452: Battle Zhou Yu
"Why is it so hard to get out of the city?" Lu Bu sighed. Just handed over the south gate to Guan Yu, Guan Yu did let an army and let Lu Bu's army go out of the city from the south gate. But in the rear, Zhou Yu led a huge number of ground and water troops to watch. As soon as Lu Bu led the army out of the city, Zhou Yu would immediately attack Guan Yubu, where the South Gate was stationed.
Guan Yu is arrogant and doesn't put Zhou Yu, a little white-faced scribe, in his eyes, but Lu Bu knows that Zhou Yu can govern the country and martial arts, but he is not just a handsome little brother. Throughout the Three Kingdoms in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, Lu Bu, the military advisor who really led the troops, served so three, one Zhou Yu, one Sima Yi, and one Lu Xun. These three people are the generals of the army in the true sense.
Guan Yu didn't take Zhou Yu in his eyes, and Lu Bu really had no confidence in Guan Yu. Even if Pang Tong was by Guan Yu's side, as soon as he saw Pang Tong being disgusted by Guan Yu, Lu Bu knew that Guan Yu would not obey Pang Tong. And Pang Tong will not remind Zhou Yu when he sees through Zhou Yu's strategy, at most, after the point is broken, Guan Yu likes to listen or not.
"Ming Gong, what now? There are many dreams at night, and our army cannot be stationed in Xiangyang all the time. I strongly feel that Guan Yu will sell our army to Cao Cao when he turns his back. Frustrated said.
"Guan Yu led the army north, unless the night is out and the day is ambushed, Cao Cao may not be able to find out. But Guan Yu came to Jingzhou without much fanfare, and I suspect that Cao Cao has seen through my plan to support Guan Yu and withdraw from Xiangyang. In other words, Cao Cao has already begun to prepare for a decisive battle with our army. Lu Bu groaned. The forces in the world are intricate, and the whole body is affected by one shot, and at present, Chang'an is showing an all-round offensive, which is a situation that the princes of the world do not want to see. Even if the alliance is Jiangdong, he does not want Cao Cao to be disabled by Lu Bu and threatens Jiangdong instead. Therefore, Lu Bu actually has no allies now.
"We're about to leave the city, shouldn't we try to weaken the Jiangdong forces as much as possible? If Guan Yu could not resist the Jiangdong offensive in Xiangyang, it would be impossible for our army to have a chance to turn around and come back to assist the Jingnan army. Lu Xun said.
"What do you think Bo Yan should do?" Lu Bu asked.
Lu Xun was silent for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Go out of the city from the north gate." ”
The north gate is the main force of the Jiangdong army, and if the Jiangdong army blocks it, it just gives Lu Bu an excuse to use troops, and if the Jiangdong army just guards it and does not act, Lu Bu's army just takes the opportunity to sabotage and destroy the warships outside the city.
Lü Bu sent an envoy and went straight to the Jiangdong Great Array to discuss the matter of leaving the city by means of a road.
Zhou Yu was so angry that he drew his sword and said, "Lu Bu deceives people too much!" Take me Jingzhou, don't say that you want to lure the wolf into the city, and now you want to continue to play tricks? The east gate, the west gate, he controls the south gate and does not come out, why do you want to go out of the city from the north gate of the land occupied by my Jiangdong! ”
"My Chang'an army wants to go to Fancheng on the other side, and go out of the city from the north gate, and the road is the closest. It would be better to take another trip to cross the river by a warship of the Jiangdong Navy and Army. The messenger said shamelessly.
"Want to take a ride on our warship? I'm afraid that Lu Bu doesn't have the guts. I think it's true that Lu Bu wanted to find an excuse to approach our army's naval camp and take the opportunity to burn the warship. One of the generals came to the front of the battle and roared.
"In a word, let it go or not?" The envoy ignored the generals and asked with an arrogant expression.
"Then it depends on whether Lu Bu has the ability to break through our army's defenses." Zhou Yu couldn't see this person's arrogant expression, and said coldly. If it weren't for the fact that the two countries were at war and didn't cut the rules of the land, and there was a nominal alliance with Chang'an, Zhou Yu couldn't wait to kill this villain on the spot.
"You mean you want to go to war with our army? Can I understand it that way? "The messenger refuses to give in, and is unreasonable and cunning.
"Get out! Otherwise, Hugh blames Pontus for being ruthless! No matter how well Zhou Yu cultivates, he can't stand several provocations.
The messenger rushed back to the headquarters in a gray manner, passed the range of the Jiangdong Army's archers, and scolded angrily: "Report to the general, Jiangdong Zhou Yu insulted the general and did his best, and the officials were not talented, and they wanted to break the net with the thief, so they took their lives in order to pass the news back." Ask the general to send troops to kill the thief. ”
Zhou Yu was so angry that he gritted his teeth when he heard the messenger framing him from a distance, but he couldn't pick it out to clarify the facts, otherwise it would seriously hit the morale of his side.
Lu Bucai didn't care what was going on, he just needed an excuse to start a war. Without hesitation, he stepped forward, Fang Tianhua held his halberd high, and galloped back and forth in front of the formation: "Soldiers, the Jiangdong army is coming, detain me to close the wall, and plunder my city." The insufficient number of guards in our army forced our army to abandon Xiangyang, soldiers, what should we do? ”
"Kill!"
"Use the weapons in your hands to drive away the Jiangdong thieves!"
"Kill the thief!"
Lu Bu gave an order, and the army was like a flood, rushing to the Jiangdong army. Zhou Yu didn't expect that Lu Bu would disagree and start a war in vain. I was horrified in my heart, and the alliance with Lu Bu was a mistake. And only the Jiangdong Army is coming, and the elite infantry is still on the way to the ground, can the water army resist the elite Chang'an Army when it comes ashore?
On the narrow and long place, it is in response to that sentence, and the brave wins when they meet on the narrow road. If it was a battle on the river, maybe the Chang'an army would sink to the bottom without even a bubble, but on the streets where there was no danger to defend, and it was all on the streets, how could the Jiangdong Navy be the opponent of the infantry of the Chang'an Hundred Battles.
As soon as the confrontation began, Zhou Yu's command of the ground battle array was shaken back.
"It's ridiculous that Zhou Lang will only fight in the water." Lu Bu made fun of him mercilessly. The sound came from afar, and Zhou Yu's face turned red.
The defenders of Jingzhou also took advantage of this to retract, guarding from a distance, and watching coldly as the Chang'an army and the Jiangdong army fought from the south gate to the north gate. From the city to the outside of the city, the Jiangdong naval army was ineffective in land warfare, and they had to retreat to the warships, wanting to block the river and prevent Lu Bu's army from crossing the river.
Killed to the shore, the Jiangdong Navy fortified along the coast. One by one, under the command of Zhou Yu, they were as fast as a shadow and a red rabbit; Buildings and ships. Under the leadership of Zhou Yu, the attack is like a thousand troops, and the defense is also impregnable, which can be described as invincible in the world. Arrows rained down, rushing to the river and rolling up to the shore, and the Chang'an army could not get close to the river for a while.
"Fire oil ready!"
Lu Bu gave an order, and a heavy carriage rushed forward. Kerosene poured down, wafting a thick layer on the river.
"Ignition."
On the surface of the river, the flames soared into the sky. The Jiangdong Navy screamed in horror. Lu Bu was able to set the river on fire? The kerosene flowed down the river, and where the kerosene flowed, the fire was all over the sky, and the raging flames burst out. The Jiangdong Water Village below was frightened, and countless sailors fell into the icy water in fear, full of fear of the unknown. The water village opened, and a column of warships rushed out and fled.
Looking at the sea of fire in Suojiang, Lu Bu let out a long sigh. The time to open up the Wuguan Road was too short, and the kerosene sent was insufficient, so they could only fight a psychological war against the Jiangdong Naval Army, so that they trampled on each other and could not cause substantial damage to the Jiangdong Naval Army.
"Rush!" After waiting for a long time, the Chang'an army could not get close to the water village, and launched a fierce charge when the Jiangdong warships were unable to escape and lack firepower. Knock down the wall of the water village and kill it.
Going deep into the water village, the soldiers scattered, set fire to the Jiangdong warship, and destroyed the equipment of the navy.
One after another, the warships turned into flames, and Lu Bu was stunned. He couldn't take these captured warships, and after a while, the Jiangdong Navy came back and chased them back, and the Chang'an infantry would have no power to fight back on the river and recapture the warships. Since it can't be taken away, it is better to destroy it as much as possible, burn all the grain and grass hoarded by the Jiangdong Army, and destroy all the land that can be destroyed.
Really. The kerosene on the river surface was gradually diluted, burned out, and the fire gradually extinguished, leaving only a white ground water vapor after a few flames.
Woo woo woo~
The trumpet came again from the river. In the water and steam, one after another warships rode the wind and waves and returned.
"Retreat!"
Without fire intimidation, the Chang'an army would simply not be an opponent of the naval army on the river. Before the return of the Jiangdong naval army, columns of soldiers retreated to the shore.
Wancheng.
Cao Jun fled into the city in panic, which was already the last choke point for Cao Jun to hold Jingzhou and prevent the Chang'an army from going north to Yuzhou. Cao Cao ordered Yu Banle to enter Li Dian to defend strictly, and Yan Xing led the Youzhou cavalry as a mobile force to camp in Anzhong, forming a horn with Wancheng. But as soon as he heard that Lu Bu's army was leading a large army to attack again, the entire Wancheng was in chaos.
Without elite support, the Cao army is an army that has lost its military soul, and under the successive defeats, the morale is lost. Wancheng, which could be defended by a few thousand people, Cao Cao hoarded 130,000 miscellaneous soldiers to defend. Delu Bu led the army to arrive, and the whole army of Cao's army did not have the slightest will to resist, and many people sneaked out of the city wall and fled.
"Not defeated yet! I didn't use my special move. Since Lu Bu stayed restlessly in Xiangyang, the original appearance did not give him a chance to live until the summer rains. ”
Cao Cao said annoyedly. He ceded Fancheng to Lü Bu, and at the same time transferred the general out of Xiangyang, just to lead Jiangdong, Jingnan and Lü Bu to the lower reaches of the Han River, and when the river swelled, dig the river and burst the embankment, flooding the enemy. Lu Bu was not dominated, forcing Cao Cao to use the secret weapon that Yecheng was researching, Cao Cao clenched his fists, and his face was pale.
And Lu Bu just as he said, as soon as the front foot came out of Xiangyang, Guan Yu sent a fine work to tell Cao Cao the news that Lu Bu led the army north. After Cao Cao learned the news, he began to lay out the killing as soon as possible. Waiting for Lu Bu's army to arrive, he didn't mind killing Lu Bu in general.
At the same time, Cao Cao decided to change his strategy, vigorously promoting the family as an official, and temporarily obeying the interests of the family. Cao Caodi's mood is very heavy, the family wow, it is the existence of the ruling Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and it cannot be ignored. And Cao Cao was afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past, so he did not dare to accept the family with all his might. Now it's different, the Chang'an army is out of the customs to threaten the world, and the family is also doing its best to prepare supplies. With the support of the family, money, food, manpower and troops continue to come.
The Maison is a double-edged sword, which can not only kill the enemy, but also hurt itself. Even if Cao Cao was thirsty for killing, he didn't dare to do anything to the family. They have too much power in their hands. But he is selfish and holding a ball, which makes people jealous and helpless.
