Chapter 247: Cao Apu, even God will help me!
Port Ullin, late at night.
Li Su tiptoed in front of Ma Yuezhong's army's tent, and when he was about to go further, a big man like an iron tower suddenly appeared in front of Li Su like a ghost, and the two black iron halberds had already reached Li Su's neck. Li Su hurriedly shook his hand and said, "General Dian Wei and don't do it, it's under Li Su." ”
"Lord Li Su?" Dian Wei put away the big iron halberd and said in a deep voice, "It's so late, what are you doing?" ”
Li Su hurriedly said: "I have something urgent to see the lord below." ”
"Who's out there?" While the two were talking, Ma Yue's voice came from the big tent, "It's late at night, and I'm not allowed to sleep." ”
Dian Wei hurriedly responded: "Lord, Lord Li Su has something urgent to see. ”
In the big tent, Ma Yue yawned and said lazily, "Let him in." ”
Dian Wei dodged the way, Li Su bent down into the big tent, only to see Ma Yue lazily leaning on the brocade mat to read, a charcoal fire in the big tent was burning, warm and sleepy.
"Li Su, what's the urgency for you?"
Li Su straightened his clothes and said, "Su came to have nothing to do at night, lying on the couch and contemplating, and suddenly thought that the lord's plan for a series of ships was flawed, so he hurriedly came to speak. ”
"Oh?" Ma Yue's expression moved, and he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Fire Attack!" Li Su said in a condensed voice, "The lord's plan of serial large ships can certainly help the Liangzhou soldiers overcome the discomfort of boating on the water and minimize the non-combat attrition of the Liangzhou soldiers, but once they are attacked by fire, all the big ships will be connected together with iron cables, and they cannot be avoided, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
"Hmm."
Ma Yue nodded when he heard this, thinking that this Li Su is not only good at speaking, but also has some brains, but he is still usable, but Ma Yue is a person in the future, and he studied the Battle of Chibi in elementary school, how could he not think of the fatal flaw that the serial ship is vulnerable to fire attacks?
But Ma Yue still ordered Gan Ning to connect the fifty three-story ships, which naturally made sense.
"Ziyan (Li Su's cousin) is too worried." Ma Yue said casually, "Wulin Port has been captured by our army, and Liu Biao's Jingzhou naval army has been wounded!" Even if the chain of ships is vulnerable to fire, someone has to come up with this fire attack plan, and there has to be an army to set this fire, right? ”
Li Su bowed his head lightly and remained silent.
Ma Yue said again: "Ziyan can rest assured, this general has repaired a book, ordered someone to send it to Xiangyang, and ordered Liu Biao to offer 100,000 stones of grain and grass." Of course, this is just a joke, the purpose is nothing more than to tell Liu Biao that my Xiliang army will leave Jingzhou and go south to Jiangdong, Liu Biao is a dog guarding Chengcheng, and he will only secretly rejoice when he hears this news, how can he send troops to burn my serial ship? ”
Ma Yue's words are true.
In the Battle of Chibi in history, the reason why Cao Ying's 830,000 army was burned was not only because of the fatal factor that the serial ships were vulnerable to fire attacks, but also because Cao Ying's opponents were Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and a well-trained Jiangdong naval army with a tenacious style! If it weren't for the Jiangdong Naval Army, the Battle of Chibi would have had a completely different ending.
Liu Biao is not Zhou Yu, and the current Jingzhou Navy is not the powerful Jiangdong Navy in the Battle of Chibi!
"I see." Li Su said suddenly, "The lord is far-sighted, and it is difficult for Su to beat the horse." ”
"Hehe, there is no need to say these words of welcoming the horse, General Ben doesn't like to hear it." Although Ma Yue didn't like to hear it, the smile on his face told Li Su that it was not the case at all, and Ma Yue said, "The army is going to go on the expedition tomorrow, so go back to the account and rest quickly." ”
"So, the villain takes his leave."
Li Su arched his hand to Ma Yue and turned to leave.
……
However, there are ten out of ten people in the world who do not go as expected.
Ma Yue expected that Liu Biao would not dare to touch his moldy head, but he never expected that this time his opponent was not Liu Biao, but Cao Ying! Ma Yue didn't expect that although Wulin Port fell, the Jingzhou Navy actually didn't hurt its muscles and bones, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun took a part of the Jingzhou Navy to set up an ambush at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, and escaped by mistake.
Due to the huge scale of the Jingzhou naval army, far beyond Ma Yue's imagination, and also beyond the imagination of the Jinfan thief Gan Ning and the Jiangxia thieves Chen Hu and Zhang Bao, when Ma Yue and the others faced the captured 50 building ships, thousands of warships, fighting ships and countless boats, no one thought that this was actually not all the Jingzhou naval ships.
Coincidental and accidental combined results have caused inevitable consequences - Ma Yue has no scruples about building fifty ships into a series of large ships, in order to improve the stability of the boat on the river as much as possible, reduce the non-combat attrition of Liangzhou soldiers as much as possible, and maintain the combat effectiveness of this Liangzhou iron cavalry as much as possible.
Because after arriving in Jiangdong, there are endless battles and vicious battles waiting for this tiger and wolf army!
……
Xiangyang, Liu Biao's official residence.
"What! The port of Ulin was captured by the horse butcher? ”
Liu Biaohuo Ran got up and stared at Zhang Nan, the captain of the navy who was untidy and embarrassed, and the generals Huang Zhong, Liu Pan, Wen Ping, Wei Yan, Li Yan, Zou Jing, Han Xuan, Jin Xuan and others on both sides also changed color, Wulin Port is not only an important military town in Jingxiang, but also the location of the Dazhai of the Jingzhou Navy Army.
The village not only stationed Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's 20,000 elite sailors, but also accumulated more than ten years of military rations and a large number of military equipment. More importantly, the terrain of Wulin Port is dangerous, and it is impossible to be attacked by a more powerful naval army, and the horse butcher only has 8,000 Xiliang iron horses, how can he break through the Wulin Port Naval Army?
"Cai and Zhang Erdu led the main force of the naval army to set up an ambush at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, so that the Dazhai army was empty." Zhang Nan said miserably, "Ma Reverse recruited the Jinfan thieves who were rampant in the Yangtze River waterway, and built a giant chain of ships to attack, our army was caught off guard, although the bloody battle was outnumbered, and the Wulin Port Naval Army Dazhai was finally breached." ”
"What about Cai Mao and Zhang Yun?" Liu Biao said angrily, "The water army Dazhai was attacked, why didn't the main force of the two of them come back to help?" Why!? ”
Zhang Nansu was at odds with Cai and Zhang, and said in a low voice: "The last general also sent a letter to Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, but they have never seen reinforcements. ”
"Hey!" Liu Pan said, "Wulin Harbor has been captured, what is the significance of the ambush of Cai and Zhang at the mouth of the Sanjiang River?" With the huge building ships in the Wulin Harbor Naval Army, as well as the Ship Chong and the fighting ships, what the two governors will ambush is no longer a plate of loose sand and powerless fishing boats, but a Jinfan thief armed with a large number of warships. ”
"Report ......" Liu Pan's voice fell, and suddenly a small colonel hurriedly walked into the tent and said loudly, "Liangzhou Assassin Shi, Pingxi General Ma Yue's envoy came. ”
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
"The Horse Butcher's Messenger?"
Liu Biao's face turned pale, and he said in a condensed voice: "Please!" ”
Everyone in the hall looked sideways and looked at the entrance of the hall, but when they saw a flash of people at the door, a Liangzhou elementary school had already entered with pride, casually clasped his fist at Liu Biao, and said proudly: "On the order of the lord, I came to tell Jingzhou Mu Liu: This general does not say that he will lead the army of water and land to Jiangdong, but there is a shortage of military rations, and he will transport 100,000 stones of military rations to Jiangling within ten days, and there must be no mistake!" ”
"...... Sonor"
"...... Sonor"
The junior colonel's voice fell, and the generals Wei Yan, Wen Ping, Huang Zhong, and Liu Pan in the hall were already so angry that their faces turned pale, and they all drew their swords, intending to kill the Liangzhou Elementary School who gave the order, and the Liangzhou Elementary School coldly glanced at the indignant Jingzhou generals, and stalked their necks forward, with a posture of killing and killing.
"Stop!" Liu Biao's face was cold, and he shouted, "Don't be rude." ”
"Damn!"
Wei Yanzhu returned his sword to the sheath and retreated indignantly.
The junior colonel of Liangzhou sneered and said to Liu Biao: "Since Liu Jingzhou has no intention of leaving the head of the last general, then the last general will leave." ”
Liu Biao said coldly: "Don't send it." ”
"Humph!"
The Liangzhou Junior Colonel snorted, and finally glanced at the Jingzhou generals viciously, turned around and walked away.
As soon as the Liangzhou Junior Colonel left, Han Xuan came out and said: "Lord, the horse butcher is too deceitful, immediately mobilize all the land and water soldiers and horses in the eight counties of Jingxiang, and fight the horse butcher to the death in Jiangling, in order to avenge the public humiliation today." ”
Liu Biao glanced at Han Xuan coldly, and asked faintly, "Does Lord Han Xuan think that the Jingzhou army can defeat the horse butcher's Xiliang Iron Cavalry in Jiangling?" ”
"This ......"
Han Xuan was speechless.
Jin Xuan looked at his face and knew that Liu Biao was cowardly and had no intention of fighting the horse butcher, so he came out and said: "The lower officials think that it is not appropriate to provoke the horse butcher now, but they can symbolically transport some old grain to Jiangling, as long as this group of tiger and wolf troops can leave the land of Jingxiang earlier, it is better than anything else." ”
"It's just a horse butcher's trick." Han Xuan hurriedly said, "If the lord really offers 100,000 stone of military rations, I am afraid that the horse butcher will be more and more reluctant to leave Jingxiang." ”
"Nope." Li Yan retorted, "I think that it is false for the horse butcher to ask for military rations, and it is true to threaten the lord not to act rashly!" In other words, it is true that the Xiliang army did not say that it went south to Jiangdong. ”
"Oh?" Liu Biao's expression moved, and he stroked his beard and said in a condensed voice, "Why did Zhengfang (Li Yanbiao) say this?" ”
Li Yan said quietly: "Although Jingxiang is good, it is not a place for the horse butcher to stay for a long time. ”
"Well......" Liu Biao is also a member of the Eight Horses, and he immediately said loudly, "Come on, order Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to immediately cancel the ambush plan at Sanjiangkou, and lead the sailors to return to Xiangyang to standby, there must be no mistake!" ”
……
Sanjiangkou.
A boat flew on the side of Cai Mao's ship, a cable had already been thrown from the side of the big ship, and a naval colonel climbed onto the big ship with agility like an ape, and Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and Cao Ying, who had been waiting at the bow of the boat, hurriedly came forward, Cai Mao asked in a deep voice: "How is the situation?" ”
"Out of the port!" The junior colonel of the navy gasped violently twice, and said in a condensed voice, "A full fifty building ships, one row for every ten, five rows in front and back, all connected together!" There are also thousands of ships and fighting ships strung in chains, loaded with grain, grass and ordnance following behind and going down the river! ”
"Good! The horse butcher really built a chain of ships! Cao Ying slammed the knot and said to Cai Mao, "General Cai Mao, are the fireships ready?" ”
Cai Mao smiled and said, "By the order of the prime minister, everything is ready." ”
"Hmm." Cao Ying nodded, put his hand on the awning and looked at the northwest direction, and said, "It's just the northwest wind blowing now, and the wind is helping the fire, this time the horse butcher will definitely die!" ”
……
Sanjiangkou.
Ma Yue's huge fleet swaggered down the river and finally appeared on the vast river.
Ma Yue stood solemnly on the bow of the ship surrounded by Gan Ning, Chen Hu, Zhang Bao, and Dian Wei, and pointed at the wide and vast river. Ma Yue saw the vast river, his chest was full of passion, and he wanted to recite a few ancient poems to express his nostalgia, but unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, he only wanted to come up with a sentence about the passing water of the Yangtze River, and then there was no follow-up.
"Hey, what's that?"
As soon as the big boat crossed the estuary, the wide river surface of the Xiangjiang River also appeared for the first time, and the magnificent landscape of the confluence of the two rivers gradually appeared in front of everyone.
"Huh?" Gan Ning put his hand on the canopy and looked in the northwest direction for a moment, his face suddenly changed, and he said in a condensed voice, "It's the Jingzhou Navy Army's Ship Chong and Fighting Ship!" ”
"At least a thousand!"
Jiangxia thief Zhang Bao added.
"It can't be! No way! ”
Ma Yue was startled, and almost plunged into the eastward flowing river, this sun hit the west and came out? Looking up at the sky, dark clouds rolled up from the sky, obscuring the slanting sun. Liu Biao, the dog that guards the success, really dares to send the remaining Jingzhou Navy to touch the head? This doesn't quite look like Liu Biao's surname! Ma Yue faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong for a while.
"That's right, that's the Jingzhou Water Army!"
Jiangxia thief Chen Hu finally added affirmatively.
In just a few moments, the fleet of the Jingzhou Navy was already approaching.
"My lord." Gan Ning Huo Ran turned around and looked at Ma Yuedao, "What now?" ”
Ma Yue swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and asked Gan Ning: "If the Jinfan thieves and Jiangxia thieves (more than a thousand people) attack with their whole army, can they repel this Jingzhou naval army?" ”
"No way!" Gan Ning shook his head and said in a condensed voice, "The difference in strength is too great!" This Jingzhou naval army has more than 10,000 people! Moreover, the direction of the wind and the current of the water are not good for our army, and if we attack rashly, we will definitely lose. ”
"His grandmother's." Ma Yue cursed viciously, "If this Jingzhou army really wants to play a one-handed fire attack strategy, General Ben should finish playing." ”
"Not good!" Ma Yue's voice fell, and Gan Ning suddenly shouted, "The Jingzhou Navy has set sail!" ”
"Huh?"
Ma Yue looked back in shock, only to see that the Jingzhou naval warships in front of him had already pulled up their sails, and the northwest wind was blowing tightly, and these ships were pressing over like arrows. In less than a moment, Ma Yue's chain of ships was only a few hundred steps away. The river wind was howling, and the knife was blowing on Ma Yue's face, and Ma Yue suddenly smelled a dangerous smell.
"Fire oil! Fuck it's the smell of fire oil! Ma Yue's face changed, and he shouted, "His grandmother's, the Jingzhou Navy really wants to play with fire!" Gan Ning, Chen Hu, and Zhang Bao immediately led the naval army to attack, and they must intercept and sink these ships, and must not let them get close to the serial ships, hurry, hurry! ”
"Woo Woo ......"
As soon as Ma Yue's words fell, dazzling rockets swept across the river, and hundreds of fireboats with sails burst into flames.
The three generals of Gan Ning suddenly agreed and hurriedly took the order away, and in less than a moment, dozens of ships and fighting ships had already been separated from the huge fleet and went up the current to meet the Jingzhou naval army, however, the strength of the Jinfan thieves and Jiangxia thieves was too thin, and they could not parry the simultaneous attack of hundreds of fireships.
Ma Yue watched as hundreds of fireships viciously crashed into the chain of ships, and the brilliant sparks burst out like fireworks, splashing everywhere in all directions, igniting the debris piled up on the deck of the big ship in an instant, and the fire soon began to spread, and the deck, side, and cable began to burn.
In less than a meal, the huge chain of ships was completely surrounded by flames.
The war horses in the cabin first began to scratch, and then the Jingzhou captives whose collarbones were chiseled began to frantically tear the chains on their bodies, desperately trying to get rid of the chains, and the whips of the Liangzhou soldiers rained down on them, but they could not stop their crazy actions in the slightest.
In the end, the Liangzhou soldiers finally began to fall into chaos, once upon a time, Ma Yue tried his best to turn the tide countless times, but this time, he couldn't do anything, let him shout through the sky, and no one obeyed his command, except for Dian Wei, there were three hundred personal soldiers led by Dian Wei.
Ma Yue looked at the tongue of fire flying in front of him in despair, and his heart was cold.
"Lord!"
In the raging fire, Gan Ning, who was gray-faced, suddenly rushed out and shouted: "Lord, the matter is urgent, you can drive the boat with the general." ”
"Alas......"
Ma Yue sighed, turned his head and took one last look at the burning chain of ships, followed Gan Ning into the ring of fire, Dian Wei roared, and three hundred soldiers also got into the ring of fire, the flames swallowed, and soon devoured the deck where Ma Yue was standing just now, and the two Jingzhou prisoners rushed to the deck with bloody chains, and then walked into the rolling Yangtze River with a body of fire.
……
"Boom!"
Gan Ning drove a ship to rush, Dian Wei protected Ma Yue, just highlighted the fire net, and collided with a Jingzhou army's fighting ship, a row of dense arrows shot over, Ma Yue's relatives suddenly fell a dozen, Dian Wei in order to cover Ma Yue, also wearing several arrows, blood flowing.
"Hugh is leaving, horse butcher!"
"The one in gold armor is the butcher of horses!"
"The one who shoots the horse butcher will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and the lord will enter the marquis of ten thousand households!"
In the middle cabin of the Jingzhou Fighting Ship, Cao Ying was dressed in military uniform, and the raging fire illuminated his face red.
Xiahoudun, Li Dian, Yu Ban, Cao Chun, Zangba and hundreds of elite soldiers pulled their bows and arrows, murderous, and the cluster of arrows was already aimed at the golden helmet and golden armor.
"Cao Apu!"
"Horse butcher!"
When Cao Ying found Ma Yue at a glance in the chaotic army, Ma Yue also discovered Cao Yue almost at the same time.
"Cao Apu!" Ma Yue gritted his teeth and said, "It turns out that you are making trouble behind your back!" ”
"Horse butcher!" Cao Ying looked up to the sky and smiled, "This time you are dead!" Hahaha......"
"Don't rejoice too soon!" Ma Yue said sharply, "It is not yet known who killed the deer!" ”
"Click!"
"Boom~~"
As soon as Ma Yue's words fell, a dazzling lightning suddenly burst into the sky, and then rumbling thunder resounded through the sky. The next moment, the raindrops of beans poured down, rushing everywhere on the burning chain of boats, and in just a few moments, the raging fires were extinguished, the scorching heat gradually receded, and the smell of smoke and burnt began to float on the river.
Looking back, although the huge chain of ships had been burned beyond recognition by the fire, they were still stubbornly floating on the surface of the river, showing no signs of sinking.
"This ......" Cao Ying looked at the heavy rain in front of him in disbelief, his expression was dull, "How can this be?" ”
"Hahaha~~" Ma Yue beat his chest with his hands, looked up to the sky and said with a long smile, "Cao Apu, even God will help me!" What are you going to do to fight me! Well, ahhahaha~~ Withdraw! Withdraw the big ship immediately! ”
Gan Ning and Dian Wei agreed loudly, led hundreds of soldiers to escort Ma Yue and hurriedly withdrew to the chain of big ships, on the big ship, with the extinguishing of the fire, the Liangzhou soldiers and war horses quickly calmed down, after all, they are all veterans of a hundred battles, once the urgent need is lifted, they immediately return to the hideous killer nature.
Jingzhou fighter medium cabin.
Cao Ying raised his head to the sky, letting the cold rain ruthlessly wash his face, at this moment, his heart was colder than this rain!
"Prime Minister Cao Cheng's clever plan is to calm the world, and the Sanjiangkou loses troops and loses generals!"
"Prime Minister Cao Cheng's clever plan is to calm the world, and the Sanjiangkou loses troops and loses generals!"
"Prime Minister Cao Cheng's clever plan is to calm the world, and the Sanjiangkou loses troops and loses generals!"
On the big boat, there was a tsunami-like shout from Liangzhou Soldiers' Mountain, and Cao Ying's throat suddenly swelled with a suffocating disgust, and he suddenly opened his mouth, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body fell backwards.
"Mengde!"
Xiahoudun was taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but saw that Cao Ying's face was pale and he had fallen into a coma.
