Chapter 181: A Narrow Road Encounter

Looking for prestige, he saw a dignified general, standing under the city gate on a tall horse, watching the battle under the city gate with a look of amazement.

The team leader who was trampled under his feet saw the general through the crack of his shoe, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and Baba shouted: "General Sun, help, save the little one's life." ”

The General Sun in his mouth was Sun Yu, the cousin of Wu Hou Sun Quan. In this battle to attack the three southern counties, Sun Yute was ordered by Sun Quan to enter Lukou and was appointed as the right governor of the Wu army on the Western Front. When Lu Su and Wu Meng went to war, Sun Yu was ordered to guard Baqiu. In fact, this is the same as appointing Cheng Pu as the right governor of Chibi back then, the purpose is to restrain Lu Su from the side.

Behind him, the soldiers who followed Sun Yu didn't hear what their right governor shouted, and they rushed in from the city, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded the two young sons.

"Presumptuous, quickly retreat!"

Sun Yu shouted again, and the soldiers were startled, so they had to retreat to the side without knowing what to do.

The tall boy didn't kill again, stepped on the team under his feet, straightened up, faced Sun Yu, was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Brother Ayu." ”

The people on the left and right were all shocked and dazed, and they were confused by the sentence "little sister" and "Brother Ayu".

Sun Yu glanced at the tall boy, with a faint hint of blame in his eyes, but said "Come with me", that is, he turned his horse and walked towards the city.

The tall boy was stunned for a moment, so he had to turn over his horse and follow Sun Yu into the city, while the other son, who seemed to be his attendant, followed suit.

The soldiers guarding the city around naturally didn't dare to stop them at this time, so they had to watch these two young men with extraordinary skills and make trouble at the city gate swaggering into the city.

Sun Yu didn't say anything all the way, drove the horse straight back to the mansion, entered the hall, the door was closed, and only he and the tall boy were left inside.

Sun Yu said with a puzzled face: "Little sister, why are you here, still dressed like this, what is this like." ”

The little sister in Sun Yu's mouth is naturally his cousin Sun Shangxiang.

At the beginning, she was inspired by Xiao Qiao, so she disguised herself as a man, and only brought a female soldier with her cronies, so she quietly fled Jianye, all the way along Jiangxi, trying to run to Yizhou, but she didn't want to be bumped into by her cousin under this Baqiu city.

Sun Shangxiang originally had a smooth journey, but he didn't expect that suddenly the two families of Liu and Sun would go to war, which would lead to the obstruction of traffic, otherwise he would not have been caught by his brother.

Facing Sun Yu's questioning, of course Sun Shangxiang couldn't tell the truth, she paused for a moment and said, "What's so strange, I'm just tired of being in Jianye, so I want to come out and relax." ”

"Little sister, you are too nonsense, now that the two families are fighting, there is a shortage of soldiers here, what are you still running to scatter, if there is a slight difference, how can it be."

As a cousin, Sun Yu is certainly qualified to teach this little sister surnamed Ren a lesson, but his tone is much more relaxed, because he is only a cousin after all, and his relationship is not as good as Sun Quan.

Sun Shangxiang pouted and said, "Where did I think there would be a war here." By the way, Brother Ayu, aren't we an alliance with that Liu Bei, we were fine before, why did we suddenly start a war. ”

Sun Yu snorted coldly and said: "Liu Bei's big-eared thief has no faith in his words, and he borrowed our Jingzhou and didn't pay it back, since he didn't want to come back, he had to take it back with his fists." ”

"But, after all, they didn't say they wouldn't pay it back, the second brother turned his face like this and used force with others, wouldn't others laugh at our little family."

If it was a few years ago, Liu Sun started a war, Sun Shangxiang would definitely be excited to go to the battlefield, but now she is inadvertently standing in the other party's position, what the reason is, naturally needless to say.

Sun Yu didn't know his sister's intentions, and sighed: "Zhongmou is actually very helpless, the battle of Hefei was lost, and the Wuzhong clan lost a lot of money and grain, and they were anxious to ask Zhongmou to compensate them, so Zhongmou had no choice but to make a move to Jingzhou." ”

It was those big clans again, which made Sun Shangxiang think about those Gu Shao, his elder brother Sun Quan was to marry that Wuzhong clan, so he forced himself to marry that person.

Thinking of this, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but say indignantly: "Those big clans are really hateful, they always oppose our Sun family, I really don't know why the second brother put up with them again and again, and simply raised troops to kill them all." ”

Sun Yu smiled faintly and said: "Little sister, this is the opinion of your daughter's family, governing the country is not as simple as you think, the two generations of uncle and Bofu have killed less of the Wuzhong clan, what can be left for Zhongmou is not a mess, if it weren't for Zhongmou's entrapment of the big clan over the years, how can they exchange for their support for our Sun family, if not, I'm afraid that when Cao Ying went south, our Sun family would have already become Cao Ying's prisoner." ”

Sun Yu's big truth Sun Shangxiang couldn't listen to it, and she didn't want to hear it, what she was worried about now was that the two families were at war, and she and Fang Shao would become enemies of each other, what should she do next.

Sun Shangxiang hurriedly asked again: "Then do you know who led Liu Beijun who fought with us this time?" ”

Sun Yu said: "Of course, the main force is Guan Yu and his Jingzhou army, but it is reported that Liu Bei sent Huang Zhong, Fang Shao and others, and brought 10,000 Yizhou soldiers to help in the battle, and now he is confronting Zijing at the mouth of Dongting Lake, this Liu Xuande is really funny, he dares to fight a water war with our Dongwu, I think he is ......."

Sun Shangxiang was not interested in listening to the following words, her thoughts were all fixed on the word "Fang Shao", and her heart was happy and worried, happy that he had also come to Jingzhou, and they were separated by a water, and the worry was that with the current hostile state of the two families, how should she face him.

Of course, Sun Yu couldn't see the sister's thoughts, so she said: "Little sister, you sneak out, uncle and Zhongmou must be worried, you can rest here tonight, and I will send someone to send you back to Jianye tomorrow morning." ”

As soon as he heard this, Sun Shangxiang's face immediately changed, and he flatly refused: "No, I won't go back, I won't go back to marry that annoying surnamed Gu, I won't go back!" ”

Sun Yu's face turned pale at this time, and said: "You can't help this matter, you can rest here obediently, you have to go back tomorrow." Also, I'll send someone to keep an eye on you, so don't you plan to slip away, it's useless. I still have official business, so I won't accompany you for now, you can rest. ”

Sun Yu turned around and gave an order to the left and right, and more than a dozen attendants were waiting outside the door, monitoring her all the time.

Sun Shangxiang was indignant, but he was helpless, and in a fit of anger, he overturned all the cups and saucers on the case, and smashed the old stuff in the room.

After venting, Sun Shangxiang calmed down, his eyebrows wrinkled for a long time, and finally stretched slightly, muttering to himself: "Since he is here, then I must see him." Well, and when it gets dark, I'll knock over a few people and sneak away. ”

When Sun Shangxiang arrived at Baqiu on the other side of Dongting Lake, two large fleets had already formed in a north-south direction, and a big battle was imminent.

Fang Shao was on Guan Yu's flagship, watching the ships slowly sail by from left to right, a few years ago, he had also personally experienced a historical water battle, but at that time, his friend had become an enemy at this time.

At that time, Fang Shao had a deep image of Wu Jun's giant ship, and he vaguely remembered that the flagship of the building ship that Zhou Yu was riding at that time was five stories high, which could accommodate more than 3,000 people, and even galloped horses on the wide deck. At this time, Guan Yu's flagship, although it is known as the largest warship in the Jingzhou Navy, is only three stories high, and its volume is only about half of Zhou Yu's flagship.

There is such a big gap in the technology of warships, and it is no wonder that even Guan Yu, who has always been confident, did not dare to compete with the Dongwu naval army at the beginning.

More than 100 small ships equipped with ramming horns and covered with cowhides were at the forefront of the fleet, and the central fleet composed of more than 400 fighting ships and Fuchong protected more than 100 Yizhou warships equipped with Shenwei guns in the inner layer of the square array.

The Jingzhou army is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and has a tendency to go downstream, according to the normal combat strategy, the Jingzhou navy should take advantage of the speed advantage of the downstream, and use the small ships with sharp collision defense and extremely high defense of cowhide, and quickly break into the Wu formation from the center in a wedge-shaped formation, dividing the other fleet's fleet into two sections and breaking them apart. But now Guan Yu has given up the wedge formation and replaced it with a wide frontal phalanx, obviously in order to give greater play to the intensive strike advantage of the Shenwei cannon.

"General Guan, there is the mouth of Dongting Lake ahead, why don't we speed up and rush into Dongting Lake." Fang Shao was a little puzzled by the snail-like propulsion speed.

Guan Yu said lightly: "You don't understand this, the mouth of Dongting Lake is wide, if we rush out, the Wu people can attack from both wings and cut off my fleet." ”

Fang Shao was in a trance, and then he knew that Guan Yu wanted to introduce the Wu people into the Yangtze River and fight them in the narrow Yangtze River waterway, so that he could give greater play to his own firepower advantage. However, the Wu army was in a position against the current, so it could not give full play to its superior tactics of rushing forward quickly and boarding ships on board.

Guan Yu really has a set of ways of water warfare.

At this time, the Wu army located at the mouth of the lake had already set up a triangular formation, waiting for the Jingzhou army to rush out at a faster pace than it could hold its breath, and then it could attack from the left, center and right directions at the same time.

It's just that I waited for more than an hour, but I never saw any signs of impulsiveness from the enemy.

On the flagship, Gan Ning couldn't hold his breath for the first time, and said: "General, it seems that Guan Yu is very cunning and refuses to fall into our trap." I don't think we have to wait, with the combat power of our Eastern Wu Naval Army, we can break the enemy army without such strategies. General, give the order for the whole army to attack. ”

Lu Su, who was standing with his sword, was silent, silently staring at the enemy fleet in the distance, and he was still hesitant in his heart.

"General, I see that there are signs of a change in the direction of the wind, and we should not delay it any longer, so please give the order to attack. I am willing to lead the elite soldiers of my headquarters as the vanguard, seize the enemy's flagship, and behead Guan Yu to the general. ”

In the face of Gan Ning's repeated urging, Lu Su finally looked perk, drew his sword vigorously, pointed his sword at the enemy, and said sharply: "Pass my general's order, and the whole army will start attacking." ”
