Chapter 584, Trench Tactics
Zhou Yu led the troops day and night, riding horses and whips all the way, and went straight to the direction of the ferry to kill, Tai Shici reminded, "Dudu, why are you so rash, if Gan Ning is in ambush halfway, what should you do?" ”
Jiang Qin, Zhu Zhi and others also expressed their puzzlement, even if they wanted to break through, they should be careful, so as not to fall into Gan Ning's ambush. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
From Ziyunling to the ferry, along the way, there are still many passes and mountains and forests, if you rush to the road, it is inevitable that you will not be ambushed by Ganning.
Zhou Yu smiled slightly, his deep eyes revealed a confidence that people couldn't look at directly, "Don't worry, just march, Gan Ning will never set up an ambush halfway." ”
"Why is that?" Tai Shi Ci couldn't understand, and hurriedly asked, Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Because, his generals are only 10,000 people, even if the ambush can be cheapened, we have 40,000 people after all, once the troops are divided, in the direction of the ferry, how many people can he stay?" As I expected, Gan Ning had already set up camp at the ferry at this moment, and the soldiers would just hurry, and a fierce battle was waiting for us. ”
Two days later, when Zhou Yu led the troops to the ferry, sure enough, as expected, Gan Ning set up a battle at the ferry port early, and Zhou Yu slowed down as early as he approached the ferry, and the soldiers were repaired in time.
Sitting on horseback, Zhou Yu raised his eyes to look, only to see that by the ferry port, the flags were fluttering, the swords and guns were dazzling, and the camp of the righteous army was arranged on the embankment behind him. Zhou Yu fixed his eyes and looked closely, and the two sword eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, "They actually dug a trench!" ”
Knowing that Gan Ning was going to meet the enemy at the ferry, Chen Qi naturally knew the fierceness of the fierce battle at the ferry, so he gave him a way, although Chen Qi almost couldn't think of any tricks on weekdays, but this time, he still came up with a good way, so that Gan Ning dug a lot of trenches at the side of the ferry port, so that the soldiers could hide inside, even in the face of the charge of the Jiangdong soldiers, they could occupy some advantages and reduce some fearless casualties.
This kind of tactic, Zhou Yu has never seen it, but the other party only has 10,000 people, and Zhou Yu has not paid attention to it, time is pressing, and he must immediately kill the bloody road, so as to receive the lord's evacuation from Ziyunling in time.
Just the delay on the road took two days, and in these two days, without thinking, Zhou Yu also guessed that Sun Jian's side must have fallen into a vicious battle.
Seeing Zhou Yu leading the troops to arrive at the ferry, Gan Ning waved his hand, "Everyone has entered the trench!" ”
A total of ten trenches were dug, each trench can accommodate more than 1,000 people, ten trenches, like ten long dragons, rungs in front of Jiangdong soldiers, dangerous mountains on both sides, the rolling and rushing Yellow River water behind him, and the camp of the righteous army are also set up behind him.
Zhou Yu waved his hand, "Three army boys, follow me to kill, let these rebels see the majesty of our Jiangdong soldiers!" ”
Saying that, Zhou Yu took the lead, took the lead in breaking out of the dust, rode his horse to roll up a burst of dust and sand, and rushed straight to the trench where the rebel army was, and the 40,000 Jiangdong soldiers were all accompanied by shadows, screaming wildly, like tigers and wild horses on the mountain, they instantly converged into a rolling torrent and swept forward quickly.
"General, the Jiangdong soldiers are here, can this trench work?" Wang Cheng glanced at it, and hurriedly turned his head and shouted at Gan Ning.
Gan Ning was lying in the ditch, holding a big knife in his arms, his eyes were slightly closed, he was closing his eyes to recuperate, listening to Wang Cheng's shout, he snorted lightly, "I'm afraid of a bird, it doesn't work, won't you know later?" The young marshal has always been proficient in hunting and ambushing, so he won't harm us, so don't be verbose, be prepared for me. ”
Wang Cheng grinned bitterly, and said in his heart, is there a master like you? Let others prepare, but you are sleeping, everyone is rushing over, can you still sleep?
Gan Ning, the generals in the army, were all in the first trench, that is, they were the first to face the charge of the Jiangdong soldiers, seeing that the Jiangdong soldiers were less than two hundred steps away from them, Gan Ning opened his eyes fiercely, and his superb tiger eyes suddenly flashed with a murderous aura, and Gan Ning waved his hand, "Archer, prepare, listen to my command!" ”
Two hundred steps, one hundred and eighty steps, one hundred and fifty steps, it was just a blink of an eye, Gan Ning raised the big knife, slashed the blade down, and shouted "Release the arrow!" ”
The archers lying in the trench, hearing Gan Ning's order, loosened the bowstring in their hands one after another, and for a while, the arrows were like flying locusts, and they shot over the heads of the Jiangdong soldiers, and then fell like raindrops, one after another wonderful arcs, instantly intertwined into a dense net above the heads of the Jiangdong soldiers, and fell fiercely.
The rain of arrows fell ruthlessly, the Jiangdong soldiers suddenly screamed, many people fell to the ground with arrows, and even tripped over the companions who charged behind them, for a while, the horses turned over, making a mess, however, the Jiangdong soldiers will be numerous, even if there are those who fell to the ground and died, the momentum is still unabated, as the distance gets closer and closer, the archers in the back howling are not ambiguous, and several waves of arrow rain shoot out, and the Jiangdong soldiers charge on the road, suddenly fell down, however, it didn't take long for Zhou Yu to lead people to rush to the front of the first trench.
At this time, the advantage of the trench was suddenly revealed, because the rebels were hiding in the trenches, and they didn't have to worry about being attacked by the enemy on their backs.
"Die!" Gan Ning roared angrily, waved his knife with both hands, and swept the ground, and a Jiangdong soldier who rushed to the front first, suddenly hit his leg, clicked, and sank with a strong force, ruthlessly slashing the opponent's knee, and the two broken legs suddenly rolled and flew out.
"Archers, all step back." Gan Ning fought bravely to kill the enemy, while making a quick decision, the front trench, in the face of the Jiangdong soldiers' charge, the brunt of the archers, left in front of the role is no longer significant, placed in the back, but can still play a role.
Sure enough, the archers in the first few trenches quickly retreated, and the soldiers in the back rushed to the front again, facing the charge of the Jiangdong soldiers, the first few trenches suddenly fell into a white-knuckle battle.
Zhou Yu rode his horse to the front, only to find sadly that riding a horse has become a burden, even if he is standing, he has to bend down and wave his sword and gun, riding on a horse, he can only be a live target of the righteous army, and the cold arrow on the opposite side is flying forward, Zhou Yu just waved his sword to block the eagle Ling, and the war horse under the crotch suddenly neighed, and a horse leg was cut off by Zhou Cang, Zhou Yu suddenly fell off the horse, and as soon as he landed, Zhou Cang's big knife was cut over.
"Zhou Yu, take your life!"
Zhou Cang's eyes showed a fierce light, and he waved the knife with one hand, and the snowy blade wrapped in the whistling cold wind ruthlessly slashed at Zhou Yu's right leg, Zhou Yu hurriedly swung his sword to resist, and then floated backwards, standing firmly on the ground. (To be continued.) )
