Chapter 1208: Wu Jun set fire

When Sun Quan hesitated, Lu Xun and Jiang Gan quarreled. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Jiang Gan defended all his arrangements, and reiterated over and over again that there was still Lu Xun's plan in this. Moreover, Jiang Gan vaguely pointed out that the reason why Lu Xun opposed him was only because he didn't want to be independent.

And Lu Xun has just come out of prison, and there is nothing specific in his hands, only subjective speculation.

With the third watch approaching, Sun Quan made a decision, he no longer considered Lu Xun who was just guessing out of thin air, but chose to believe in Jiang Gan, after all, Sun Quan himself was also involved in the formulation of the entire plan.

"Ready to fly!" Sun Quan got up, pulled out his sword, and shouted to the sky, "In a battle tonight, the three armies will fight to defeat the Tang State and dominate the world!" ”

So, the people of Eastern Wu went out of the account and went according to their plans.

Jiang Gan glanced at Lu Xun disdainfully and left.

Lu Xun had already found that the matter could not be stopped, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, you can't, or, don't connect the warships together......"

Sun Quan put on his armor under the service of his attendants, and said impatiently: "The Tang army is huge in number and well-trained. If you can't defeat it quickly in one go, it will give the enemy a chance to counterattack. And the stability of the serial warship and the extremely strong transportation power can allow us to transport a large number of troops to Jiangbei in a short period of time and defeat the Tang army. ”

"The emperor ......" Lu Xun stopped Sun Quan, who was about to go out of the account, and wanted to persuade him again.

Who knew that Sun Quan, who was very unhappy, pushed him aside and said in a deep voice: "Send Lu Aiqing back to rest......"

………………

At the time of the third watch, Niuzhu Dongwu Water Village was densely docked with a large number of serial warships. The main force of the Soochow naval army was gathered here, and at the ferries along the south bank of the river, there were also Soochow naval forces assembled. For the victory of this battle, Sun Quan mobilized all the warships that could be mobilized.

Jiang Gan was in front of the altar on the shore of the water village, looked at the sky, and saw that the dark clouds covered the moon, and the wind gradually appeared, muttering to himself: "The moon is dark and the wind is high and the night is ...... killing."

At this time, there was a cow cry behind him, and Jiang Gan looked back and saw a team of soldiers grabbing a big bull and coming over.

Jiang Gan started the sacrificial activities before leaving the army on the altar, and he glanced at Sun Quan not far away, and Sun Quan nodded. Jiang Gan's face suddenly became fierce, he personally operated the knife, cut off the head of the cow with one knife, and sacrificed the flag with the blood of the cow.

After the sacrificial ceremony was completed, Jiang Gan brandished the bloody cattle knife, raised his arms and shouted: "In a battle tonight, I will not break the oath of the Tang Kingdom!" ”

The generals led the three armies to echo, and then boarded the ship one after another.

The veteran Huang Gai went first, the deputy governor Lu Su was in the middle, and Ling Tong was behind, and the three of them led 500 fireships as the vanguard, responsible for burning the Tang army's water village. On the flags of each ship, they are under the banner of Lu Xun, Lu Meng and others.

It was followed by the clan general, who was also the cousin of the Great Wu Emperor Sun Quan, the general Sun Jiao, and more than 400 large and small serial warships led by the Yangwei generals Sun Shao, Ding Feng, Zhu Huan and others, totaling more than 1,000 ships. Each ship can have hundreds of people, or thousands of people. Or for battleships, or for troop carriers. And Sun Quan and Jiang Gan supervised the battle on the last building ship.

The two are young, energetic, and high-spirited, and they are looking forward to a better future after defeating the Tang army

………………

At the same time that the Eastern Wu army began to act, the Jiangbei Tang Army battalion was also in full swing, the three land armies were on alert, and the naval army in the water village boarded the ship and was ready to go.

Emperor Wude of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yi, had a solemn face, and looked at the other side from the shore early in the morning.

Suddenly, the dark clouds that covered the moon dispersed, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the surface of the river, sparkling for a while.

"Report ......"

At this time, the scout rushed over and bowed: "Your Majesty, a fleet of ships has appeared on the river." The patrol boats approached to check, and they all planted the green dragon tooth flag, and wrote the names of Lu Xun and others on the flag. They said they were here to surrender and asked to open the water village to answer! ”

Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "Sun Quan is in the plan, God help me!" Command all the ministries to act according to the plan! ”

In the sound of the horn, dozens of Tang military wrestlers pushed the grinding plate-like cable plate and opened the wooden door of the water village more than ten zhang wide.

Closely followed by Zhang Shijie, the general of the Tang Dynasty Navy, he took more than a dozen patrol boats out of the water village to meet the fleet of Dongwu.

I saw him standing at the bow of the boat and said loudly: "The boat will lower its speed, line up in two columns, and slowly sail into the water village!" ”

This is just to deceive the enemy, after all, it seems very strange if no one comes out to greet him.

Sure enough, Huang Gai, who was the leader, saw that it was only a patrol boat, and his hanging heart was finally put back in his stomach. He only thought that Li Yi was in the middle of the plan, and instead of slowing down, he accelerated forward. And Huang Gai bent his bow and took an arrow, and shot an arrow at Zhang Shijie.

This arrow didn't hit at all, but in order to lure the enemy, Zhang Shijie pretended to be hit by the arrow, screamed miserably, and then shouted in a tone full of panic: "The enemy is attacking, it's the enemy, not coming to surrender!" ”

After this shout was heard by Huang Gai, it really made him anxious, so he kept urging: "Hurry up, all the fireships on both wings, go and burn the gate of the enemy's water village, and don't let the enemy's water village close!" ”

As a result, the fireships in the middle of the Dongwu fleet increased their speed, and ten fireboats were divided into the left and right sides of the fire in an instant, and in the sound of the fire blowing in the wind, they hit the fences on both sides of the gate of the water village with a bang, and they caught fire instantly.

Lu Su and Ling Tong in the rear were also very happy to see Huang Gai succeed, and ordered to speed up the march, and issued the final order: "Order, after entering the enemy's water village, each will look for the target of incineration, and fight separately!" ”

Under the Tang Army's deliberate release of water, Huang Gai's front fireboat fleet took the lead and successfully entered the Tang Army's water village.

Huang Gai naturally wouldn't go in and play his life by himself, his ship stopped on the side of the gate of the water village, just brandishing his sword, and under the raging fire, urging the soldiers to go in quickly and set fire.

After this batch of Dongwu fireships entered the Tang Army's water village, the soldiers above saw that the Tang Army's water village was full of tall warships.

"Look at that, it must be a battleship, it's the same as the city wall, go burn!"

The soldiers rowed the fireboat over, and someone lit it. More than a dozen small boats, like lions spotting large prey, swarmed in all directions.

In the "boom" collision, sparks splashed and the big ship caught fire. And the Soochow soldiers jumped into the water and fled.

"Burn the big ...... first"

Such is the nature of man, and the ships that followed, five or six, or seven or eight, crashed into the tall warships.

In just a few breaths, all the big ships in the Tang Army's water village caught fire, and the fire soon rose to the sky.

And the officers and men of the three armies of the Tang Army, according to Li Yi's arrangement, shouted in "panic": "Quickly put out the fire, the enemy is attacking!" ”

"Help, help!"

……

The firelight was accompanied by screams, and for a while, Tang Jun's water village became like a magma hell.

Huang Gai, Lu Su, and Ling Tong were all outside the gate of the water village, waving their swords, and excitedly urging the later fireboats to go in and burn them again.

The Eastern Wu soldiers who drove the fireboat were also excited and their eyes lit up, but when they entered the Tang Army Water Village, they immediately scolded their mothers. Because a wall of fire has appeared in this water village, it is impossible to see the situation inside clearly.

Driving a fireship into the sea of fire, isn't this looking for death?

Fortunately, at this time, the voice of the general Huang Gai and others came: "Divide the left and right, bypass it and burn it!" ”

The soldiers were alerted and hurriedly marched left and right, and found that there were still ships docked in the water village.

So, ignited, collided, and under the frightened gaze of the Tang soldiers on the boat, the Dongwu sailors laughed, drew a beautiful arc one by one, and dived into the water to slip away.

"Idiot!" A Tang military captain who finished the scene on a big ship looked at the Dongwu soldiers who disappeared into the water, showed a look of disdain, turned around and said, "It's burning too slowly, let's light the fire ourselves, and then abandon these empty-shelled boats and retreat, hurry!" ”

In the case of arson on both sides, it was only less than half a pillar of incense, and when I looked from the outside, I saw that the water village that had spread more than ten miles by the Tang army was on fire.

There were faint cheers across the river, and Li Yi, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty Wude on the shore, sneered and said disdainfully: "Dongwu just burned an empty shell that I left them, and they think how great it is!" ”

………………

The Tang Army Water Village is extremely large, stretching for more than ten miles. And at this moment, the water realm of more than ten miles has become a sea of fire on the water. The fire was as roaring as a wall of fire, and the river seemed to have turned into oil, and the squeak continued to support the burning of the flames.

Sun Quan was at the end of the Eastern Wu warship group, and at this moment he saw that the other side of the bank was all a sea of fire, as if the other half of heaven and earth had been burned.

The fact that there was such a big fire was possible was thanks to the ignition in the hull of the Tang Army's ship. However, Dongwu only thought that such a big fire was caused by the Tang Army's entire water village.

"Good, well burned, great!" Sun Quan waved his arms vigorously, clenched his fists, and shouted through gritted teeth, "Burn Li Yi, the world is mine, it's me, hahahaha......"

And Jiang Gan's face was also flushed, and he still had some thoughts, so he rolled his eyes and said to Sun Quan: "Your Majesty, the fire plan has succeeded, what Lu Boyan said is wrong......

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Lu Xun is already confused...... Ziyi is also needed to command the army. Quickly give the order to the whole army, and advance at full speed. ”

Jiang Gan was overjoyed, beating the war drums and waving the flag, and he was very busy.

As the saying goes, take advantage of his illness to kill him, and in the eyes of Eastern Wu, Tang Jun is already terminally ill. As a result, thousands of warships on the Eastern Wu side made a big noise. Because of the chain together, it is like a water chain horse riding on the waves, it is really a hundred boats competing for thousands of sails, and the momentum is not huge.

"Quick! In this direction! ”

"Charge, burn the Tang army!"

"Kill!"

……

Just outside the gate of the Tang Army's Shuizhai in flames, the warships of Huang Gai, Lu Su, and Ling Tong did not attack or retreat, but lined up in the front, middle and back to guide the later battleship groups to distinguish the entrance of the Shuizhai Raid.

At the same time, they were also responsible for rescuing the soldiers of the Eastern Wu who had escaped from the river after the arson, and in a short period of time, they had rescued more than 1,000 fireboat soldiers who had returned from swimming.
