Chapter 541: Red Cliff II

Warring States 5th year, February.

Early in the morning.

Jingzhou, the harsh winter has passed, the vigorous spring atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger, the flowers are blooming, and the poetry is strong, but this is brewing in the good weather.

Chibi.

This is located at the junction of Jiangxia, Nanjun, Wuling, and Changsha, and has been a battleground for water warfare since ancient times.

On a calm river, the two armies at a distance of more than five miles were strictly holding each other, and in addition to the warships coming out of the river, there were two strong water villages in opposition.

Every day, in the sound of drums, the two sides will drive their warships out of the water village, fierce battles, these local battles, never stop.

Of course, from the overall situation, the atmosphere on the Chibi River is still in the confrontation, not much This is already the last confrontation, three days ago, Sun Quan's Tiger has come to Chibi in person, and Liu Biao, the king of Chu, wants to resist the front line of Chibi Water Village from the rear of Huarong Road.

Both sides have passed the tentative battle, and now it is time to fight to the death.

To say Liu Biao, in fact, his strength is not weak, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun under his command are also the best in water warfare, although the Wu Navy is across the sea, but the huge building ship can not show its power on the river.

This was seized by Cai Mao, who was familiar with water warfare, and used the scattered battle formation formed by the fighting ships to fight continuously, and went down to Zhou Tai several times, which brought back a trace of morale for the Chu army.

And if it is about fierce generals, Liu Biao has a lot of subordinates, Wen Ping is one of the best fierce generals, and Liu Bei is now his subordinate, so Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also obey him.

The Battle of Chibi was the last battle of the Chu State, and Liu Biao showed the courage to ride into Jingzhou alone. In one go, he gathered nearly 150,000 troops of the Chu State.

That's why he had the courage to fight Sun Quan.

Of course, Sun Quan was actually not afraid of Liu Biao's troops, and the troops of Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Tai Shici, and Huang Zhong that he had now gathered. If you open the camp with a serious 800, you can directly crush Liu Biao.

Both sides have confidence in themselves, and the decisive battle is imminent.

At this time, the news that Nanjun had been fully occupied by the Wu army Liu Biao finally couldn't cover it, and under the transmission of people with hearts, it had spread to the ears of every soldier on the front line of the Chibi Chu army.

The front was decisive, but the rear was taken, and the soldiers suddenly became in turmoil.

Liu Biao was furious about this.

Of course, he served as the king of Chu. With Cai Mao and Kuai Liang by his side, he can still do things to stabilize the hearts of the army.

But it wasn't the most worrying thing for him, what really made him sleepy was that the news from the scouts who broke through in Xiangyang City had been made public to all the officers and soldiers of the Chu army.

Xiangyang City is still resisting stubbornly.

This news made the soldiers of the Chu State excited all of a sudden, Xiangyang City had sent four groups of scouts in a row to ask for help from the front line, and this news made the soldiers of the front line excited in an instant.

"If you want to play the king, the class teacher will come back to help. Rescue the capital! ”

"Xiangyang is the face of the Chu State, and our Chu State cannot lose its face. Xiangyang must be saved! ”

"A certain is willing to lead 10,000 troops, return to Xiangyang, and drive away Lu Bu!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Xiangyang, the capital of Chu State, not to mention the low-level generals, many high-level generals have their families in Xiangyang. To rescue Xiangyang, for them, it is urgent.

Therefore, many people gave Liu Biao a book one by one, asking Ying to return to the division and rescue Xiangyang.

"Bastard. The order goes down, and no one is allowed to discuss the affairs of Xiangyang! ”

But no matter how old and confused Liu Biao is, he understands one thing, this is Wu State's method of disintegrating the morale of the Chu army, and he does not believe that Lu Bu's tens of thousands of troops cannot defeat an empty Xiangyang City.

Now saving or not saving has become a dilemma, save, then you will be in the plan, if you don't save, then the morale of the soldiers is unstable, and this battle is also more auspicious.

But then another news came, the main general of the Wu army besieging Xiangyang, Lu Bu, could not capture Xiangyang City several times, so he actually divided his troops and led his troops north, entered Nanyang, and went straight to Wancheng Zhang Xiu.

"Lu Fengxian, Lone must kill you!"

This news made Liu Biao grit his teeth even more.

Lu Bu went north, which meant that Xiangyang's troops were relaxed, and it was a big bait, which made the soldiers more excited to go north to rescue, but he knew very well that even if he relaxed, he couldn't wave his troops back.

The battle of Chibi is related to the future of the entire Chu State, and at this time, if there is even the slightest idea of retreating, the morale of all the soldiers will collapse directly.

Therefore, even if there are his sons, wives and children in Xiangyang City, he can't go back, he must win the battle of Chibi, and the entire Chu State will have a chance to breathe.

Fortunately, now several high-level generals of Chu State know that the battle of Chibi is the key, so Liu Bei and Cai Maowen joined forces, and under Zhuge Liang's clever plan, they made a big dragon and phoenix, which can be regarded as stabilizing a little bit of morale.

However, the battle in Nanyang was vigorous, attracting the attention of both sides who were now fighting Wu Chu in Chibi.

On February 2, the vanguard army under the command of Wu General Dong attacked and broke through Xinye, and on February 3, Dong attacked the army to attack Jianyang, breaking through the 3,000 defenders of Wei and bloodbathing Jianyang.

Although the people of Jianyang were helpless, none of the 3,000 soldiers of the Wei army guarding Jianyang survived, and even those who surrendered were killed by Dong Xian one by one.

Dong Raid's ruthlessness shocked not Zhang Xiu of Wancheng, but the entire Jingzhou.

On February 5, LΓΌ Bu led 40,000 main forces to attack Dong, and on February 6, 50,000 elite Wu troops resisted Wancheng and launched a siege of Wancheng.

――――――――――――――――――

Chibi.

Sun Quan stood on the top of the highest wooden tower in Wu Jun Water Village, with his hands behind his back, his eyes swept in all directions, this is a battlefield that has been passed down through the ages, in fact, the scenery is still very good-looking, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, if you can and the people you like, you can go boating and cruise the river here, it is an elegant thing.

However, now in Chibi, above the river, hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting against each other, and the oppressive momentum can destroy all Yaxing.

"Junhou, Dong Xi has gone a little too far!" Pang Tong walked up from behind him, handed him a copy, and said: "In the battle of Jianyang, he has some murderous intent, and the matter of killing prisoners is a little ominous in ancient and modern times, in this way, he will arouse the hatred of the entire Jingzhou and us!" ”

"If you don't kill it, kill it, let him go, the right army wants a catharsis, as long as the people are not moved, it will not hurt, besides, if the Wei army wants to join in, it will have to pay the price!"

Sun Quan took the copy, his eyes swept over, it recorded the recent actions of the Chu army camp opposite, the scouts were very complicated, one by one, and the records were very detailed.

"Shi Yuan, what do you say Liu Biao is waiting for?" Sun Quan asked pointedly.

He was waiting, waiting for Lu Bu to solve the trouble in the north, but Liu Biao seemed to be waiting, and he had been suppressing the decisive battle, to say that he was killed in the battle of Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Sun Quan were too sad and ignored government affairs, and the morale of the Wu army was low, so he should launch a full-scale attack at that time.

"I guess, I'm waiting for reinforcements!" Pang Tong thought about it, and his eyes bloomed with a touch of essence.

"Does he have reinforcements?"

"Reinforcements?"

The corners of Pang Tong's mouth outlined a sneer, and said, "There are two soldiers and horses that may reinforce him!" ”

"Tell me about it!"

"A Wuxi man!" Pang Tong said: "If the barbarians send troops, it will not be a good thing for us, and the barbarians' army is wild and untamable, too fierce, it may not be impossible to help him!" ”

"What else?" When Sun Quan heard this, he thought about it, he didn't care about the barbarians, after all, now that Fa Zheng was a guest of the barbarians, he believed in Fa Zheng, even if he couldn't recover them, couldn't he stop them for a while?

"There is one more, that is Shu Kingdom!" Pang Tong's brows couldn't help frowning, and said: "Shu has always had a blood friendship with Chu State, and his lips are cold, Liu Zhang is a cowardly point, but he won't fail to understand this!" ”

"So, you think, Liu Zhang will send troops!" Sun Quan raised his eyebrows.

"I don't know!"

Pang Tong nodded and said: "But there is this possibility, once Shu sends troops, it will be bad news for us, and it is possible that we will fall into a tug-of-war, so I mention yΓ¬, a decisive battle in advance!" ”

Now Sun Quan can't afford to wait, this battle must be decided quickly, and a decisive battle in advance is the best choice, and Liu Biao will not be given a chance. (To be continued......)
