Chapter 543: Red Cliff Four
In the fifth year of the Warring States period, February 15, early in the morning.
Knock knock!
On this day, when the sky was still bright, a sudden burst of drums sounded that shook the sky, and the horn of the attack was blown in the entire Wu army's water village at this moment.
The east wind rises, drums beat, and trumpets sound.
The Wu army finally broke out in silence and launched the fiercest attack on the Chu army's water village since the beginning of the war.
The warship fluttering the battle flag of Wu on the first floor slowly sailed out of the Wu army's water village, like a war beast breaking free from its shackles and killing fiercely.
On these warships, they all carried the soldiers of the Wu State who held war spears in their hands and wore linen clothes, and they rushed towards the Chu army's water village with the east wind.
The Battle of Chibi has finally reached the final decisive battle.
War, in fact, there are not so many conspiracies, and now there are top strategists on both sides to help, these days you calculate, I calculate, it can't make a big difference.
When it comes to the final decisive battle, it is always strength that speaks.
Sneak attack, bait the enemy, fire attack, flooding...... These are just means that cannot be put on the table, and they can be used once or twice, but in the confrontation of hundreds of thousands of troops, it is the face-to-face battle that really determines the victory.
It is not for nothing that less wins more, but it is an individual case, and there will not be one battle in a hundred, and the right time and place are indispensable.
Winning more is the right way.
Now that the strength of the Wu army is firmly above the Chu army, Sun Quan naturally will not be stupid to borrow the east wind and attack the fire, he chooses to directly crush Liu Biao and them.
"Sons!"
At the top of the Tiger, Sun Quan was wearing Xuanwu armor, and he was also covered with a layer of linen cloth in addition to the armor, which did not break the Chu State. The filial piety robe is not removed, and this white linen robe represents his determination.
"The king died in Jingzhou, and died in a slightly smaller cold arrow, which is the grief and indignation of my grandson Zhongmou, and also the shame of all the soldiers of our Wu army. Today, we will wash away this shame with our own hands, and if we don't succeed in this battle, we will become benevolent! ”
Sun Quan held the White Tiger Spear in one hand and the Seven Star Dragon Yuan in the other, and his deep voice was full of determination: "My Sun Zhongmou is willing to take the lead, sons, go to war!" ”
"Unsuccessful. Then become benevolent and go to war! ”
"If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent and fight!"
Sun Quan's pre-war mobilization greatly boosted the morale of all the soldiers of the Wu army, and the mighty sound waves condensed into one, breaking through the early morning fog and shaking the top of the Nine Heavens.
The Great War begins.
"Liu Biao is killed, killed!"
The first to be killed was Zhou Tai. Zhou Tai led his fleet and rushed to the front. The formation, like a zigzag formation, was like a sharp arrow, and it smashed into the range of the Chu army's water village.
"Damn it, let go of the arrows!"
Guarding the front door of the water village is Cai Mao, although he is over forty years old, compared to Kuailiang Liu Biao. He was in the prime of life, he was very familiar with water warfare, and he had been fighting with Zhou Tai for days, and he already knew Zhou Tai's tactics very well.
Under the staggered arrows of the two sides, they were entangled in attack and defense.
"Kill!"
At this time. Gan Ning's fleet appeared, tens of thousands of troops, mighty, approaching the gate of the water village on the right, and the momentum rushed to the sky, suppressing the soldiers of the Chu State.
"Gan Xingba, you traitor!" At the gate on the left side of the water village is Liu Biao, who stood on the top of the water village, looking at the menacing Gan Ning with a cold gaze, and his expression was a little gloomy.
He pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed directly at Gan Ning, and shouted coldly: "Lone must kill you!" ”
"Liu Biao, the good bird chooses the wood and perches, you should be a thief, you can throw it away, and Wu Guo regards a certain as a general, courtesy everywhere, the king is even more of a grace to a certain acquaintance, the husband is alive, when the grievances are clear, today, a certain on your head, pay tribute to the king's spirit in the sky!"
Gan Ning's tiger eyes glared, the Daguan knife in his hand was raised, and Lang Lang's voice spread throughout the battlefield under the ripple of the gangqi: "Sons, the time has come to avenge the king, go full speed, kill!" ”
The Jinfan rushed out of the array of warships, and under the command of Gan Ning, in the face of the rain of arrows, he was not afraid at all, and rode in first.
"Kill!"
In the midst of a round of arrow exchanges, seeing that the main general was so brave, the soldiers of Wu under Gan Ning's command were like being beaten with chicken blood, braving the rain of arrows and slaughtering into the water village.
The right side of the water village has become the most violent battlefield.
"Sons, the prince has an order, the one who breaks the water village first will be the first to kill!" Xue Zhou's fleet soon appeared on the left side, his offensive style was similar to his character, not as fierce as Zhou Tai and Gan Ning, but he was calm and powerful step by step.
"Kill!"
The entire Chu army water village, built on the stone wall of the red cliff, behind is a tall and dangerous stone cliff, very majestic, but now it is besieged on three sides.
In the battle of the warships, the arrows sent by the soldiers of both the Wu army and the Chu army liked to be coated with a layer of fire oil, and then ignited and then fired at the enemy.
The boat is made of wood, and the water village is also built of wood, and it can be burned, so fire attack has become a theme offensive method of water warfare.
During the battle of arrows between the two sides, the entire Chu army water village and the warships of the Wu State were lit up layer by layer of fire under the sparks of the arrows.
In the midst of the flames on all sides, the water village still stands, and the Wu army still maintains a strong and powerful step-by-step attack.
The fierce fighting has reached its fiercest point.
"Liu Bei, suffer death!"
On the plain on the left beyond the water village, Huang Zhong also led his soldiers to launch the fiercest attack on Liu Bei's camp.
"Old guy, Zhang Fei, a certain Yanren, has the ability to fight!"
Liu Bei's camp was erected on the plain, with his back against the hillside, and a big man with a single eye and a black face rode a fierce horse, holding a snake spear in his hand, standing proudly in front of the gate.
"Kill!"
Huang Zhong didn't say a word, held up the knife, and killed him.
Chibi is not just a water battle, the ferry that haunts Chibi, whether it is on the water or on land, within a radius of twenty miles, is a vast battlefield.
The two sides combined to fight hundreds of thousands of soldiers on horseback, cruel can make people unbearable, the river has been dyed blood red, floating corpses spread on the water.
……
A day of fierce fighting finally ended in the light of the setting sun.
Before nightfall, Sun Quan chose to retreat, and he would not be whimsical, he could capture Liu Biao's water village in one day, after all, Liu Biao had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.
This was just the first day of a full-scale assault.
"Gan Ning, it's okay!"
Under the cover of night, in the command cabin of the Tiger, all the generals gathered together, Gan Ning rushed too fiercely, and was injured a little bit, and there was a knife wound in the shoulder, which was deeply visible.
"It's fine!"
Gan Ning shook his head, his face showed a hint of pity, and said: "I originally wanted to kill the failed target, who knew that when I met Guan Yu, I was not as good as Guan Yu!" ”
"Guan Yu?"
Sun Quan's amber eyes narrowed slightly, he used to respect Guan Yu's righteousness Bo Yuntian, but unfortunately, the hatred of killing his father is not shared, he must die.
"Tai Shi Ci!" Sun Quan suddenly shouted.
"In!"
"I'll leave it to you tonight!"
Sun Quan stretched out his hand and patted the table, and said coldly: "They have been fighting fiercely for a day now, whether it is our army or the enemy army, they are all tired, and the garrison must be a little relaxed, this is the time for you to break through their defenses and raid Jiangling!" ”
"Gangneung is their rear!"
Sun Quan's eyes crossed a trace of essence, and said: "There are grain and grass and soldiers of Liu Biao's soldiers stored here, and now Nanjun is under the control of us, without the grain and grass of Jiangling, Liu Biao's army of more than 100,000 is a dead end!" ”
"Rest assured, Prince!"
Tai Shi Ci knelt down on one knee and said proudly: "A certain family leads 10,000 cavalry, even if they notice it, it can't compare to the speed of a certain family, and they can't stop the footsteps of a certain family. ”
"Go ahead!" Sun Quan nodded and waved his hand.
"No!"
Tai Shi Ci stood up and left the cabin.
"Tomorrow will continue to attack, but Zhou Tai, you and Xue Zhou will change the direction of attack between the two sides!" Sun Quan's eyes fell on the terrain of the water village in the sand table, and said: "Gan Ning, you continue to attack Liu Biao's main force, Xue Zhou will attack head-on, attract Cai Mao, and Zhou Tai will deal with Zhang Yun, this is the weakest place in the water village, I hope to open up a situation!" ”
"No!"
Hearing this, the three of them bowed and nodded.
"Gao Shun!"
"In!"
"It's enough for me to have the Royal Forest Army of Hushi and Zu Mao beside me, the Northern Army and the trapped camp stay here, it's too wasteful, you go and assist Huang Zhong to deal with Liu Bei!"
Sun Quan squinted, the corners of his mouth drew a trace of murderous intent, and said: "Guan Yu is Liu Bei's brother-in-law, the culprit of my father's death is Liu Bei, you are your father's pro-army, this is your shame, you must wash it off with your own hands, I want Liu Bei's head!" ”
"Understood!"
Gao Shun was clean and neat, and he didn't say much, but his calm face had a strong killing intent.
The Northern Army and the Imperial Forest Army are both the prince's army, Sun Jian's death, he and Zu Mao bear the greatest infamy, if they really care about it, they are not effective in escorting, not only a capital crime, but also carrying the shame of dereliction of duty, and then die.
