454. The Battle of Chibi opened
In the blink of an eye, with the efforts of Dong Zhuojun's nearly 100 "shipwrights", hundreds of giant building ships have been prepared, the thick iron chains entangle the building boats, thick wooden planks are placed on them, and a huge floating platform with a radius of several miles has been built.
In addition to the ships that were joined together, other small ships, such as fighting ships, were also chained with corresponding chains to make a slightly smaller platform, and thousands of small light sampans were not locked into the platform, but were scattered around the platform, like the escort ships that followed the aircraft carriers of later generations.
These small sampans were ridden by skilled sailors from Jingzhou, and they were also flexible in advancing and retreating.
These "escort ships" were arranged by Guo Jia, although she had already arranged a live buckle that could quickly dismantle the floating platform on the water, but she was still a little worried that the water platform would be attacked by fire, so she arranged thousands of small boats to protect it, and if the enemy's fireships wanted to get closer, these small boats would intercept them first. It's the hottest time of summer, the air is dry, the sun is shining, and if a fire starts on the platform, the consequences are really unimaginable.
In the very center of this giant water platform, there is also an ice castle with a radius of 200 meters, which is the ice castle made by Lord Lou Gui's object control technique "Ice City".
This ice city is not big, it is much smaller than the ice city when he dealt with Ma Jiajun near Chang'an last time, the reason is very simple, when building an ice city on land, you only need to build a city wall, and Lou Gui's energy can be used to build a city wall. But to build an ice city on the water, it is not just a city wall, the ice city must also have a bottom, otherwise it will not be able to float on the water, and there will be no people inside.
So Lou Gui had to reduce the volume of the ice city and create a Xiaoice city with a radius of several hundred meters, and later Lou Gui found that the ice city melted quickly in the middle of summer, and she had to save some energy for herself and replenish the ice cubes for the ice city at any time, otherwise she would have no energy to replenish the ice city when the ice city melted, wouldn't it be the end of it?
Therefore, the final form of the ice city was only two hundred meters in radius, and it could only be placed in it with Dong Zhuo and a group of important ministers, and with less than a thousand guards, it could not fit too many people.
Dong Zhuo didn't want to stay in the ice city, and wanted to run to the water floating platform built by the building boat to play, but Guo Jia was very worried that the water floating platform would be attacked by fire, so he insisted again and again, and launched a lot of civil official bitter advice, and finally let Dong Zhuo promise to stay in the ice city during the decisive battle.
When Dong Zhuojun was completely prepared, a spectacular beauty was formed on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
Around a seven-zhang (21-meter-high) ice-white ice city, a huge floating platform with a length of ten miles (five thousand meters) was spread, and next to this huge floating platform, thousands of small boats were surrounded by the platform, like shuttles rotating around the platform to escort, and 200,000 soldiers boarded the platform and boats, and 630,000 troops remained on the north side of the Yangtze River as a reserve army.
(Author's note: The Yangtze River near Chibi today is only three kilometers wide, that is, about 3,000 meters, and it is impossible to build a 5,000-meter-large floating platform on the 3,000-meter-wide river.) However, the Yangtze River in ancient times could not be as wide as it is now, considering that the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and various folklore have said that there were serial boats, in order to make this serial boat plausible, it must be widened, therefore, the width of the Yangtze River in the Chibi section of this book is set at 15,000 kilometers, that is, 15 kilometers wide...... Ahem...... This number is quite exaggerated, and I am ashamed, but it is not very exaggerated, after all, the widest part of the Yangtze River is 180 kilometers wide. Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of troops, Dong Zhuo, who had just finished bathing in the black room, wore a golden dragon robe, and climbed the ice city with his head held high.
Dong Zhuo opened her mouth, intending to say something to boost morale, but as soon as her mouth opened, she felt the cold air of the ice city invading her, she sneezed violently, quickly took a coat from the hand of the attendant and put it on her body, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's all Guo Jia's fault, I have to go to the ice city, what's so fun in this cold and swishing place!" ”
Li Ru next to him hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Guo Junshi is also for your safety, this ice city can be attacked by fire, and it is the safest." ”
"Come on, I know this, or I wouldn't have listened to her." Dong Zhuo waved his hand, coughed dryly, and then shouted loudly to the soldiers who were looking at her from below the ice city: "My brave soldiers, the Armageddon is about to begin......
Dong Zhuo was relieved and continued: "The world often says 'south ships and north horses', which means that southerners are good at boats and northerners are good at horses. Today, we have to teach the southern barbarians to know that it is not ambiguous for the northerners to fight water wars! ”
When the army heard this, they responded in unison: "Yes, kill the southern barbarians!" ”
Dong Zhuo then said: "What is the most important thing in our southern expedition? DID YOU KNOW? ”
All the troops were in unison, and then said loudly: "The lord humiliates the ministers to death, and swears to kill and flee from the favor!" The 200,000 sailors shouted in unison, and the 630,000 troops who were serving as reserves on the shore also responded in unison, and the roar collapsed and the ground cracked.
Dong Zhuo nodded with satisfaction and said, "That hateful escape pet escaped from my harem." Along the way, he killed many generals of our army, and then ...... General Zhang Xiu Cough...... He also insulted General Huang Gai, who planned to defect to our army, now let's kill across the river, capture the escaped pet alive, castrate him first and then kill him, and put him in a position of eighteen! ”
When the 830,000 troops heard this, everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and said in unison: "Kill the river, castrate the escaped pets first and then kill them!" ”
"Good! What are you waiting for! Dong Zhuo waved his small hand and shouted: "Order the whole army, the battle to cross the river will start now!" ”
"Coax!" The soldiers who had just lined up neatly on the water platform to listen to Dong Zhuo's words suddenly dispersed, sailing the sails, the rudders, and the paddling...... In the middle of the 5,000-meter-wide platform stands a huge mainmast, which is made from the trunk of a thousand-year-old tree, and dozens of people hug it together, and it stands in the very center of the platform. A huge sail several hundred meters long and wide rose along the mainmast, and hundreds of sail riders pulled it up with a sail rope.
There is a golden dragon head painted on the sail, and the most ridiculous thing is that this dragon's eyes are actually painted with long eyelashes, it seems that this is still a female golden dragon...... It turned out that Dong Zhuo didn't like the traditional dragon head shape, and forcibly ordered the painters to redesign the female golden dragon for Her Majesty the Empress...... Ahem...... As soon as the golden dragon sail was unfurled, the sail hand scolded depressedly: ", this ghost weather, there is no wind at all. ”
At this time, it is the hottest time of midsummer, the sky and the earth are extremely dull, where is the wind? As a result, the huge golden dragon sail could only be used as an ornament.
Tens of thousands of sailors paddled together, and the terrifying water platform moved inch by inch, and began to move slowly towards the center of the river, because this section of the Yangtze River is only thirty miles wide, and the water platform occupies ten miles, so one-third of the river is shrouded by Dong Zhuojun's huge momentum, and the Jiangdong water village on the other side of the river seems so small.
After the water platform began to move, thousands of light and small warships moved together, like small fish swimming next to a giant whale, protecting Dong Zhuo's Chinese army in it. On this huge platform, there are 50,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, 5,000 Trap Camps, 5,000 Flying Bear Army, and 5,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry...... All Dong Zhuojun's elites are among them.
The text includes Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Li Ru, Fu Zhu, Cheng Yu, Diao Chan...... Wu has Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan...... Dong Zhuojun's momentum is so strong that it can be described as invincible in the world.
At the same time, south of the Yangtze River, Chibi Water Village! The Jiangdong girls have already been prepared, and 50,000 Jiangdong sailors have boarded the new warships, and they will attack just after the order of the metropolitan governor.
Iceberg beauty Zhou Gongjin was wearing a shark skin diving suit, and a set of dark brown iron armor was standing at the bow of a huge building ship, and there was no other expression on her cold face, but everyone saw a strong confidence in her eyes.
She waved her hand lightly, pointed to the huge golden dragon sail on the opposite side of the river and said, "Dong Zhuo is here!" Armageddon has begun! Everything went according to plan. ”
"No!" Huang Gai took the lead and said: "This first formation, just let me, the 'general', go!" ”
The iceberg beauty glanced at Huang Gai deeply, and said coldly: "You are careful...... Don't get yourself involved in the fire. ”
Huang Gai nodded, and led thirty-five fireships to rush out of the dock first, these thirty-five fireships are all specially made, and they look like ordinary small warships, but the belly of the ship is not like an ordinary ship with ballast stones, but full of bottles and cans, all of which are fish oil incendiary bombs.
Each boat is equipped with ten sailors, all of whom are the most elite soldiers in Jiangdong, not only are everyone good at boating, but also have a good water surname, once the boat catches fire, they will collectively jump into the water to escape.
Huang Gai boarded a fireboat headed by him, and asked the soldiers to pull up a big flag on the bow of the ship, and wrote "Pioneer Huang Gai", the soldiers rowed the boat, and the warship flew towards Dong Zhuojun on the opposite side.
At the same time as Huang Gai set off, Sun Yu was secretly crossing the river from the vicinity of Lukou County in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River with 5,000 soldiers, preparing to go around to Dong Zhuojun's back and intercept Huarong Dao.
It turned out that Sun Yu and Zhou Yu had a careful discussion before the war, thinking that if Dong Zhuojun was defeated, he would definitely escape from Huarong Road, Sun Yu of course relied on the record of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but Zhou Yu judged it based on his own experience.
Therefore, when Sun Yu took the initiative to take an army to Huarong Dao to cut off Dong Zhuo's retreat, Zhou Yu immediately agreed to his request. Sun Yu has long-distance "reconnaissance" and is the most suitable candidate for long-distance cooperation with large troops. He can hide in Huarong Dao with his troops, but he can keep track of the progress of the Chibi Armageddon at any time, and no one is more suitable to go to Huarong Dao than him.
Since the land combat ability of the Jiangdong warriors was not very strong, the army sent to Huarong Dao to cut off Dong Zhuo's retreat needed to be sent by the Gongsun army. Sun Yu left Chen Gong, Zhao Yun, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others in the Jiangdong Army to cooperate with the Battle of Chibi, and he went back to Lukou County with 5,000 white horses.
Jiangdong sent Sun Shangxiang to fight with Sun Yu with her women's army, for the sake of meaning, is this...... Whether it is to fight together or to enhance the relationship between the two, outsiders do not know.
