Seventy-seven times, the straw boat borrowed arrows

However, he said that Zhuge Liang did not have the support of Lu Su, so it was naturally difficult to get the warships of Eastern Wu, so he had to turn back to Fankou to explain the situation to Liu Bei, and asked him to send a hundred boats and soldiers to go with him to borrow arrows. And Liu Bei cared about Zhuge Liang very much, and sent Zhao Yun to protect him. This time, Zhuge Liang is not afraid that there is nothing to do on the boat alone.

In fact, Zhuge Liang did not make a prediction about whether Cao Cao would shoot a rocket, on the contrary, he studied the situation of launching a rocket on the river, and the result was of course very much in line with his heart. In the past few days, the fog on the river has been very humid, and there is wind, and only a single rocket has been shot out, but I am afraid that it will be extinguished in mid-air, and it will not play a role at all. Moreover, the real rocket, the arrow itself is different from the ordinary arrow, and it also needs to be soaked in expensive oil, although Cao Cao is powerful, he must not be ready for tens of thousands of rockets at any time. This is the real reason why Zhuge Liang dared to boast about Haikou.

The day after Zhuge Liang received his order, a thick fog rose on the river, and it was even darker at night, and he couldn't see his fingers. Zhuge Liang leisurely took Zhao Yun to drink in the cabin, and more than 100 stalks with countless straw men went to Cao Jun's water village and stopped three or five miles away from the water village.

Although Zhao Yun in the cabin was full of courage, he was a Hebei man after all, and he was a little flustered in this country after all, and asked: "Military advisor, this plan can really be successful." ”

Although Zhuge Liang was also a little nervous in his heart, he still looked calm and relaxed on the surface, and said: "Zilong don't worry, Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, and the fog on the river is thick tonight, he will not dare to go out of the camp for fear of fraud." A month ago, Zhou Dudu defeated his naval army, and now that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were both killed, Yu Ban did not dare to fight. ”

Zhuge Liang looked around the cabin at the soldiers with blank and frightened expressions on their faces, although he had analyzed it very clearly before, but when he was about to fight, he couldn't help but feel as nervous as these soldiers. But in the end, Zhuge Liang finally made up his mind and said in a low voice: "Beat the drum!" ”

Zhuge Liang gave an order, and the soldiers on the left and right began to beat the drums with uneasiness, and as soon as the main ship sounded, according to the prior agreement, the rest of the ships also beat the drums. But Zhuge Liang especially thought that the drum was not loud enough, so he ordered Zhao Yun to tell him to beat louder.

In their opinion, this is only less than a thousand people in total, taking more than 100 small broken boats, swaggering to less than 50 meters outside Cao Junshui's camp, peeping into other people's camps, and even beating drums, this is what only a madman would do, and it is strange that the soldiers are not afraid. But after all, they are the navy army that has followed Guan Yu for many years, they know how strict Guan Yu is in governing the army, and General Zhao Yun, the central protector, is still there! How dare they not sell their lives, they just play the drums anyway.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao is doing something inappropriate for children. Cao Cao looked leisurely, but the other hand quietly stretched down from the side and touched the girl in his arms, the girl was touched coldly, and suddenly there was a sound, Gege smiled and twisted his body, and said greasy and coquettishly: "Prime Minister, you are so bad, how do you touch people." ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao became more and more profligate, and he couldn't afford to bury it in the woman's breast. There was a pleasant cry in the room for a while, and just as Cao Cao was about to show his strength, suddenly there was a sound outside the door.

"Prime Minister, Yu Du reported urgently, and there was a drum sound outside the village, thinking that the Dongwu Navy was stealing the camp."

When Cao Cao heard this, he pushed the woman who wanted to eat it just now, hurriedly dressed and walked out of the big tent, and when he saw the fog on the river, he was shocked, and while asking someone to bring the horses, he ordered: "Please ask the generals to discuss the matter immediately!" Go for it."

Cao Cao's camp is the water village in the outer land camp inside, the water village is in a semicircle to surround the dry village, he rode his horse all the way to gallop, through several dry villages, when he came to the riverside, the water army has more than 3,000 crossbowmen are shooting wildly at the place where the drums sound in the river fog. Cao Cao listened carefully, but heard the sound of drums from east to west, stretching for more than a hundred zhang, mixed with the sound of shouting and killing, as if countless ships were flying from the fog to that side, and could attack the water village at any time.

"Could it be that Zhou Yu saw me kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun thought that there was no one in our army, so he bullied him? Cao Cao had no shortage of malicious speculation in his heart. The current Zhou Yu army is very different from history, Zhou Yu's army plus Liu Bei's army is basically the same number as Wulin's Cao army, but the Sun and Liu coalition army is stronger, and the Cao army is better on foot.

When he was pondering, Yu Ban, who was dressed in armor, trotted over, and said urgently: "Prime Minister, the Wu army may be trying to destroy our water village by taking advantage of the fog, but now the fog is heavy, I don't know the reality of the Wu army, in order to prevent an ambush, our warships cannot go out of the village to meet the attack, please allow the crossbowmen of the drought battalion to come to support." ”

Cao Cao looked at Yu Ban, who was sweating profusely, and understood in his heart that Yu Ban was good at training the army, but after all, he had only been familiar with the navy for a few months, and it was already difficult for him to do this. And Cao Cao couldn't make a better choice, so he had to say in a deep voice: "Accurate! ”

Cao Cao ordered, and in a short time, another group of crossbowmen rushed from the dry village, totaling more than 6,000 crossbowmen, and bombarded the mist, eager to shoot all the arrows in the quiver in one go.

But I don't want to be anxious here, but Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun in the boat are very leisurely, and Zhuge Liang even strokes the piano. Listening to the sound of arrows hitting the hull of the ship, it felt as if it was in harmony with Zhuge Liang's piano sound. Zhao Yun was about to sigh a few words, but he felt that the cabin seemed to be tilted to the left.

At this time, a lieutenant came in from outside the door, it was Guan Yu who lent Zhuge Liang, the commander of the thousand water army, and said to Zhuge Liang: "Military division, the left side of the boat is already full of arrows, do you want to change sides." By this time, even the soldiers were looking elated.

Zhuge Liang didn't answer, just signaled the captain to do it. Hearing this, the ships changed directions, and in a short time, the empty side was also densely filled with arrows, and the ships gradually became stable.

Zhuge Liang called Zhao Yun again, and said a few words in his ear, and Zhao Yun went straight out of the cabin and shouted: "Capture the Cao thief alive, and reward thousands of gold to seal the marquis." Then a thousand soldiers also shouted at the top of their voices.

More than 1,000 people held back their strength, roaring hoarsely, as if they wanted to vent all the breath they had suffered since Nagasakapo, and the shouting and killing sound that came out like this was really a bit shocking, and the momentum of crying ghosts and gods was as if there were tens of millions of people roaring together.

The louder Zhao Yun shouted, the more dense the arrows shot by Cao Jun, and within half an hour, the captain reported back: "Military division, the draft of the warship has reached its maximum." ”

Zhuge Liang calculated carefully, how could there be 100,000 arrows in half an hour at this density. The order was immediately given: "All the sailors are back." Before Zilong leaves, let's give Cao Cao another big gift. ”

On the water village on the north bank, Cao Cao's expression became more and more puzzled, but he thought in his heart: "This arrow rain is so dense, the Wu people are still so arrogant, and they don't see the retreat or the momentum of the attack, what kind of medicine is sold in this Zhou Gongjin gourd?" ”

At this time, a group of strategists who rushed to hear the news had gathered around Cao Cao, and when the others were still as confused as Cao Cao, Jia Xu had already guessed eight or nine points, but in front of everyone, don't say it openly, just afraid of wiping Cao Cao's face, coughed lightly a few times at the moment, and said: "Prime Minister, it's not a way to shoot like this, I see that the fog is getting thinner, and the humidity is not too heavy, so you might as well change it to a rocket, in this way, whether the Wu people want to storm the water village, or want to lure our water army to fight, they have to retreat." ”

I have to say that Jia Xu is really good at picking the time, and as soon as his words fell, a voice came from the river. "Xie Cao Cheng sent arrows, and some Cao Cheng sent arrows."

Hearing this, Cao Cao was so angry that his beard was about to fly, and he said angrily: "Zhou Yu, Lone will take your head to vent the hatred of Lone's heart." "But I don't want Cao Cao to count this matter on Zhou Yu's head.
