Rocket, this term originated in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in fact, at best, it is just an arrow plus a fire, in essence, it refers to an arrow tied to a fire-initiating object.

Rockets are mostly used when burning enemy equipment, grain and grass, and lifting weights, or in siege warfare, the attacking side burns the city defense, and the defending side burns the wells outside the city, rushing cars and other things, in addition, it is used when fighting on the river, the main purpose is to burn the enemy's warships, but in peacetime, the place where rockets are used is very rare.

As a weapon of fire attack, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than "fire". arrows.

The manufacture of arrows from the beginning of the shoddy production, to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, has been relatively standardized, in general, divided into arrow clusters, arrow shafts, arrow feathers, there is a certain proportion between the three, manufacturing, more troublesome.

Arrow clusters, that is, arrowheads, needless to say, mostly bronze and iron texture, since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, arrow clusters generally tend to be triangular type, easy to make, strong body, sharp edge, and strong penetration, material saving.

The arrow shaft, that is, the middle part of the arrow, is generally made of bamboo or wood, embedded under the arrow, the ancients will use the bamboo arrow shaft to call the arrow, will call the wooden arrow shaft the arrow, collectively known as the arrow.

Arrow feathers, even the feathers at the end of the arrow, except for large sharp weapons such as bed crossbows, which are made of iron sheets, ordinary arrows are generally made of bird feathers.

And the arrow cluster and arrow shaft are tied with strips of cloth and other ignition materials, and soaked in fire oil, and then ignited, before they can be used, this is a rocket!

Most of the rockets manufactured above will not be extinguished as long as they are not in heavy rain, fog, or wind, so they are used to attack cities and climb ships.

However, on the other hand, the cost of rockets is much higher than that of ordinary arrows, while the oil and cloth in the army are limited.

For example, Cai Mao at the moment,

You must know that at present, there are almost more than 10,000 Cao soldiers gathered by the river, holding bows and crossbows, and firing arrows at the river.

If it is calculated based on one person and ten arrows, how much fire oil does more than 10,000 Cao soldiers need to consume? How much cloth?

In Cai Mao's mind, the lethality of a bow and arrow is enough to repel the enemy, so why bother. What about the consumption of oil, cloth and other substances? Wouldn't it be better to use it in the big war with Soochow in the future?

Therefore, when Cai Mao turned his head and listened to the person next to him say "use a rocket", he was a little stunned for a while.

"Didn't you hear? with rockets". The visitor squinted at the foggy river and said with a frown.

"No, no, I heard it, it's just" After a hurried explanation, Cai Mao looked left and right, and said hesitantly, "Uncle, if you use rockets, I'm afraid that the fire oil will be consumed a lot." ”

"I didn't expect to be able to encounter this," said Jiang Zhe, turning his head, looking at Cai Mao and saying. "Such a good opportunity should not be missed, if you can get rid of a strong enemy, it is to use up all the fire oil in the camp, so what?"

Rival? Cai Mao obviously didn't understand, thought about it, and said, "However, there are no rockets in the camp treasury, and if you want to speak for a while, you will be interrupted by Jiang Zhe.

"If you have time to say this, you might as well give an order quickly!"

"Yes". Some couldn't understand why this "uncle, the lord insisted on using rockets, but Cai Mao didn't dare to disobey, and immediately asked his brother Cai Zhong to lead people to the camp warehouse to get the oil from the camp.

Cai Zhong, who had been ordered, naturally did not dare to slack off, and immediately led people to fetch the oil oil, taking advantage of this time, Jiang Zhe frowned and asked, "Dejia, how many arrows have been released now?" ”

With all the puzzlement in his heart, Cai Mao looked left and right, roughly calculated, and said respectfully, "It's been almost half an hour, according to the last general, the first soldiers to arrive here have shot more than ten arrows at most, and the rest of the soldiers have come one after another, less than that, roughly calculated, I'm afraid there are 80,000 or 90,000."

"Eighty or ninety thousand?" Jiang Zhe's eyes widened, and his face was a little not good-looking.

"Uh, yes" Cai Mao subconsciously shrank her head.

**Wan, if memory serves, Zhuge Liang "borrowed arrows." It's to borrow 100,000 sticks, with those straw boats, at the moment he has a maximum of 20,000 or 30,000, and there is still a chance,,

"Uncle" looked at Jiang Zhe with his head bowed and pondering. Cai Mao pointed to the Cao soldiers on the left and right, and said hesitantly, "Right now, do you still want to release the arrows?"

"Put! Slowly, don't be in a hurry! Frowning and thinking about it, Jiang Zhe nodded and said, before the oil reaches the river, it is natural to stabilize Zhuge Liang, so as not to let him see the flaws and flee by boat. work

The straw boat borrows arrows, I ask you to borrow them!

At the same time, Zhuge Liang, the object of ill will in Jiang Zhe's heart, was in a boat on the river, drinking with Lusu, who joined the army of Eastern Wu.

Compared with Lu Su, who was a little trembling, Zhuge Liang looked calm and drank at the same time. While talking and laughing with Lu Su, he had a bit of a temperament that Taishan collapsed in front of him and did not change his color.

However, Zhuge Liang was calm, but Lu Su couldn't stand it anymore, barely perfunctory Zhuge Liang's talk and laughter, and listened to the movement of Cao's military camp.

Seeing Lu Su's appearance, Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, and Ye Yu said, "Zijing, could it be that the wine in my army is not beautiful?" As he spoke, he pointed to the wine cup and flask placed on the table.

"I really don't know where Kong Ming's interest came from" Shaking his head with a wry smile, Lu Su exclaimed, "You just asked the soldiers to beat the drums, if Cao Cao let people fight." We're all on our hands! ”

"Hehe" Zhuge Liang smiled faintly and said calmly, "Zijing don't panic, in such a dense fog, I expect that the Cao army will not dare to fight, lest it be ambushed by our army. ”

"If that's the case, that's the best, that's the best," muttered, and Lu Suzhi felt his heart beat wildly.

It's too ", it's incredible" Seeing that Kong Ming is such a stable person, he actually uses such a dangerous trick,

Borrow arrows from the Lu army? Is that so easy to borrow?

As early as Zhuge Liang, Lu Su was invited to board the ship outside Xiakou, and the beautiful name was "take the arrow." At that time, Lu Su secretly observed those ships.

Roughly calculated, there were about forty warships, each ship was equipped with twenty or thirty soldiers, and the ships were all covered with green cloth, and hundreds of each bundle of grass were erected on the two sides of the ship.

By the fourth or fifth watch in the early morning, the two fleets had approached Cao Cao's water village, and at this time, Zhuge Liang actually taught the soldiers to cross the ship in front of Cao Junzhai, and ordered the soldiers to beat drums and shout, Lu Su saw this, naturally he was shocked, lest Cao Cao drive the boat to attack, but no matter how he persuaded him, Zhuge Liang was laughing and silent, but invited Lu Su into the boat to drink and have fun.

To Lu Su's surprise, Cao Ying, after some restlessness, did not drive a boat to attack, but only deployed heavy troops to release arrows by the river, in Zhuge Liang's words, it was not bad at all.

More or less, Lu Su understood Zhuge Liang's plan a little in his heart, and he clearly wanted to "borrow" from Cao Jun. Arrow, but out of consideration for safety, Lu Su was still a little uneasy, on the other hand, Zhuge Liang looked as usual, chuckling and drinking.

Seeing Zhuge Liang's face was peaceful, with the mind that he should not underestimate Jiangdong Wenchen, Lu Sumian accepted the uneasiness in his heart, and drank and had fun with Zhuge Liang. "Kong Ming. How do you know it's foggy today? , "Observing the sky at night" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly. Raise your glass and say in a condensed voice, "For the general and not to understand astronomy, not to know the geographical advantages, not to know the strange door, not to know the yin and yang, not to look at the formation map, not to know the strength of the troops, is mediocre also, three days ago I watched the sky at night, is so I learned that there is a fog today", work

Even if it weren't, I could call it exorcism and bring fog, but at some cost. Looking at the wine in the cup, Zhuge Liang smiled faintly, but he didn't know, but at this moment, Lu Su was in a dilemma.

This person is a real genius!

Lu Su's eyes flashed with amazement, and he praised, "I don't want Kong Ming to understand such knowledge, it's really a genius!" As he spoke, he thought of what Zhou Yu said that day, "This person has only known people, if it is not used by Jiangdong, it should be eliminated as soon as possible" sighed in his heart, and said secretly, I hope Zhuge can persuade his younger brother,

otherwise

On the one hand, it is morality, and on the other hand, it is my Jiangdong future, alas!

As if he had discovered Lu Su's loss, Zhuge Liang asked suspiciously, "How, Zijing?"

"No, no" sighed secretly and waved his hand, but saw that Zhuge Liang had some doubts in his eyes, and wanted to divert the topic, but suddenly realized something, and said in exclamation, "Kong Ming, the movement outside the ship seems to have stopped."

"Huh? Suddenly, Zhuge Liang's attention was successfully diverted by Lu Su, and he listened to it for a long time, then suddenly patted his leg and frowned and said, "Could it be that Jiang Zhe saw through it?" ”

"Jiang Zhe?" Lu Su showed a little surprise on his face, and said in surprise, "Isn't Jiang Zhe in Shiyang?"

"How come" Zhuge Liang chuckled, shook his head and said, "Jiang Zhe is Cao Cao's most trusted person, now that the war is coming, Cao Cao will not easily transfer this person, Jiang Zhe took Shiyang the last time, but it was just to attract our attention, so as to facilitate Cao's army to cross the river from Wulin, to Chibi landing, and quietly attack Xiakou and Jiangxia" Now I heard that Guo Jia, another strategist under Cao Cao's account who is good at commanding troops, has arrived in Shiyang, how can Jiang Zhe stay there? Jiang Zhe, Guo Jia, Cao Cao must have one person by his side, according to Liang's opinion, most of the people who are stationed in Shiyang are Guo Jia, that is to say, Jiang Zhe is currently in the Cao camp in Hanyang."

"What?" I heard what Zhuge Liang said. Lu Su's face changed slightly, and he said in shock, "If Kong Ming's plan is seen through by Jiang Zhe, what should it be?" ”

"Wait and see!" Zhuge Liang's face was straight, the feather fan shook slightly, his eyes looked at the table, and he said solemnly, "Just look at how Cao Jun responds now, Liang can know Jiang Zhe's plan!" ”

"Alas". Glancing at Zhuge Liang with a complicated expression, Lu Su shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I hope Jiang Zhe has not seen through Kong Ming's plan, otherwise, the wind direction is not conducive to us, if Jiang Zhe drives a boat to chase after me, I am afraid I can't wait to withdraw."

Wind? Zhuge Liang smiled faintly, not caring about Lu Su's worries at all.

The two were talking, and suddenly there was a sound of breaking the air outside the ship, which was obviously caused by Cao Jun continuing to release arrows.

After a cup of tea, Lu Su saw that Cao Ying had no other abnormal behavior, so he was relieved, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, fortunately, Jiang Zhe has never seen through it."

"Oh, that's not likely!" With a laugh, in Lu Su's suspicious eyes, Zhuge Liang said playfully, "Perhaps, he Jiang Zhe just wants to stabilize me and wait for the first, this person must have a plan!" As he spoke, he slowly got up and said with a smile, "Zijing, it seems that I can't drink safely, I'll go to the bow of the boat to take a look."

"As it should be". Lu Su also got up and stood with Zhuge Liang and the bow of the boat. Looking intently in the direction of Cao Ying, listening to the sound of breaking the air in his ears, Zhuge Liang was even more sure in his heart, and said solemnly, "The arrows are not as dense as Fang Cai." I'm afraid it's probably Jiang Zhe trying to stabilize us. deliberately release arrows".

"So, what then?" Lu Su said in surprise.

Shaking the feather fan, Zhuge Liang stood on the bow of the boat and comforted softly, "Zijing is calm and don't be impatient, wait and see what happens!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a bright light.

Before he could come back to his senses, suddenly countless bright lights struck from the direction of Cao Ying, appearing and disappearing.

"This is" Obviously, Lu Su also saw it, only to see him staring intently at the distance ahead, looking at the bright lights getting closer and closer to him, and the horror on his face became stronger and stronger, and he exclaimed, "Fire, rocket?!" ”

Turning his head to Lu Su and smiling bitterly, Zhuge Liang laughed at himself and said, "I don't want to be like this, it's troublesome."

Indeed, the countless faintly emerging lights were caused by thousands of rockets shot in Cao's camp, only to see the arrows like flying locusts, and for a while, the sky and the river surface highlighted a fiery red color, which was very spectacular.

"Zijing,"

"Goo" looked at the fiery red color that gradually attacked in front of him, Lu Su swallowed his saliva, turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang, and said, "What, what's the matter?" ”

"Hehe" waved with a feather fan in his hand, Zhuge Liang put away his smile, looked at Lu Su with a solemn face, and said, "Liang Sizi is a person from Jiangdong, who has lived on the riverside for a long time, and wants to be familiar with water."

No kidding! ”

，

As Zhuge Liang expected, Cao Jun continued to release arrows, but it was just to stabilize the enemy army on the river.

Because the river is so vast, and a few rockets are scattered, I am afraid that not only will they not hit Zhuge Liang's "grass boat", but they will also startle the grass and snakes, and make Zhuge Liang wake up.

For this reason, Jiang Zhe transferred seven or eight thousand Cao soldiers to make rockets, and on the other hand, he asked Cai Mao to continue to ask his naval army to release arrows, so as not to be seen through by Zhuge Liang, and then flee.

Changing arrows into rockets is nothing more than tying a cloth between the arrow cluster and the arrow shaft, and soaking it with fire oil.

Immediately, Jiang Zhe asked the more than 10,000 crossbowmen to replace ordinary arrows with rockets and shoot them on the river.

More than 10,000 crossbowmen performed together, only to see the bowstring sound, the arrows were like locusts, and the arrows were like waterfalls and rain, head-on towards the river.

The first round of thousands of rockets has already dyed half of the sky red, to the point that the river is fiery red, and even the fog seems to have been dispelled, bright as the morning glow, dazzling.

Jiang Zhe never ordered the bow to be collected, and the Cao soldiers under his command did not dare to stop, mechanically pulling the bow and releasing arrows, so repeatedly, Cai Mao only regretted in his heart: If such a number of rockets can be used against Zhou Yu, no matter how good Zhou Yu is at commanding the navy, he can still make him drink a pot. It's a pity."

With a very pity in his mind, Cai Mao secretly looked at his uncle beside him, but saw him staring at the river and muttering something.

I told you to borrow arrows,"

When Cai Mao looked at Jiang Zhe with puzzled eyes, Jiang Zhe was concentrating on the river, looking at the sky and the river red, extremely spectacular, at the same time, he listened to the screams and riots coming from the river, and he couldn't help but have some other feelings in his heart.

Straw boat borrows arrows!

As Zhuge Liang's most incredible strategy in his life, which is listed as the same as the empty city plan, how could Jiang Zhe forget it?

He was originally thinking that history was stirred up like a muddy water by himself, whether this would happen,

If set

Every time he read this in later generations, Jiang Zhe had some alternative ideas, what if when Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from the grass boat at that time, Cao Jun shot not ordinary arrows, but rockets?

I'm afraid that Zhuge Liang can't borrow arrows, but his life is in danger!

You see that this is not the case, the drumming on the river stopped, and there were panicked cries of the enemy, as well as the roaring fire on the river.

The crackling sound was mixed with scolding, screaming, and wailing

Wait a minute!

How many soldiers did he Zhuge Liang bring to borrow arrows?

Feeling that things were a little weird, Jiang Zhe asked Cai Mao beside him in a low voice, "Dejia, can you hear the screams of the enemy?" ”

Looking at Jiang Zhe suspiciously, Cai Mao nodded in amazement and said, "Hear, how can you get uncle?" ”

I saw Jiang Zhe staring at the fiery red fog on the river, frowning and hesitating, "Then do you remember, how long has the enemy been shouting?" ”

"This." Cai Mao hesitated slightly, shook her head and said, "I'm afraid there is a pillar of incense,"

Suddenly, Jiang Zhe's face changed slightly, and he raised his hand and shouted, "Stop releasing arrows!" ”

Jiang Zhe gave an order, and more than 10,000 Cao soldiers here gradually put down their bows and crossbows and looked at Jiang Zhe suspiciously.

The grass boat borrowed arrows, he Zhuge Liang clearly only brought twenty or thirty warships, and there were only dozens of soldiers on board, and in general, there were only about a thousand people, but it was only a thousand people, who screamed a stick of incense, what a joke!

Could it be that he Zhuge Liang has another strange plan?

Cause his men to scream loudly, pretend to panic, and lure me to continue firing arrows?

However, his straw boat has been damaged, how to "borrow." Arrow? work

Could it be that the grass boat is not damaged at all?

How can it be

How could he Zhuge Liang protect those grass boats under the fire of ten thousand arrows, you know, he ordered it to be released, it was a rocket!

Above the river, in the fog, the drumming had already stopped, and the bursts of shouting were getting weaker and weaker, so Jiang Zhe had a little hope in his heart.

Could it be that I'm thinking too much?

"Uncle?" Seeing that Jiang Zhe's expression on his face kept changing, Cai Mao called out with a little worry.

"What?"

"The enemy army has retreated, and it is useless for the soldiers to stay here, why don't you let them return to the camp to rest" "Hmm" nodded, Jiang Zhe stood by the river, and said absentmindedly, "I have worked hard for all the soldiers, and let them return to the camp to rest, you should also go back to rest!" ”

"No!" Cai Mao took the order and retreated.

After a short time, nearly 20,000 Cao soldiers and soldiers on the riverside gradually retreated, except for the soldiers who were on duty at night and stayed here, I am afraid that only Jiang Zhe was still here looking at the river.

Although it was almost dawn, the sky had not yet brightened, and the fog in the river had not dispersed, so Jiang Zhe did not know what was happening on the river.

But it's okay, the "Xie Chengxiang arrow" in history. finally failed to get Zhuge Liang to call out his subordinates, otherwise, he was afraid that he would "lose face and go home!"

However, faintly, Jiang Zhe had a feeling that maybe this time, Zhuge Liang might succeed, ".

But if he succeeds, why don't he call his subordinates to shout, "Xie Situ arrow." This? Striking at his prestige in the army, Zhuge Liang didn't want to see it,

But then again, what he ordered was a rocket, and it was a flurry of arrows, how did he Zhuge Liang borrow arrows?

Just when Jiang Zhe was puzzled, suddenly a call came from behind him, "Situ"

Jiang Zhe turned around and saw that it was Jia Xu, beckoned and said, "Why is Wenhe here too?" ”

"The subordinates were originally asleep, but they were awakened by the movement in the camp halfway" Smiling slightly, Jia Xu stepped forward and saw Jiang Zhe standing by the river, and said in surprise, "What is Situ doing here?" ”

After hesitating, Jiang Zhe informed Jia Xu of the matter one by one, and at the same time, he borrowed arrows from the grass boat. He was told about it in the form of his own opinion.

"I see" After listening to Jiang Zhe's words, Jia Xu stroked the short beard on his chin, and said in a condensed voice, "Such a fog, General Cai thinks that it is not suitable to fight, and he is afraid of being ambushed, which does make some sense" and Situ's point of view, there is nothing wrong with it, use rockets to resist the enemy, well, but" Saying, Jia Xu glanced at Jiang Zhe, and asked with a puzzled face, "The subordinates watched what Situ said, Situ seemed to be sure that the enemy army was playing tricks, and there was no enemy ambush around" In this case, why not ask General Cai to light up a fleet and take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, Quietly out of the camp and capture it? ”

"Huh?" Looking at the doubts in Jia Xu's eyes, Jiang Zhe was speechless.

That's right! Since he already understands that this is just Zhuge Liang's trick, why do you still want to play with him, spending more than 200,000 arrows, and countless oils and cloths, wouldn't it be faster and less labor-saving to send an army forward?

Seeing that Jiang Zhe was dumbfounded after hearing what he said, Jia Xu suddenly understood, smiled bitterly, secretly scolded himself for talking too much, and quickly changed the topic and said, "Eh, this, in fact, according to the opinion of the subordinates, what Situ did is safe, and the subordinates thought." Although Situ expected that there was no enemy ambush in the fog on the river, the way of using troops was false and real, and it was uncertain, cough! Therefore, the disciples think that what Situ does is safe!

Although a few arrows were spent, the enemy army was in vain," Jia Xu himself felt a little embarrassed.

"Wen He don't want to comfort me again" Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Jiang Zhe sighed helplessly, "Wen He is right, let a fleet quietly come out again, save trouble and effort" This matter is my negligence, and I ordered it before I thought about it, Wen He doesn't have to defend me,"

Saying that, Jiang Zhe secretly scolded himself, stupid, he thought he had a plan, and he was confident that he ordered the rocket to be released......

"Let's go, Wenhe." Shaking his head, Jiang Zhe turned around and walked towards his residence, although he was a little disappointed, but he remembered that Zhuge Liang's guy didn't necessarily succeed, and he was finally a little better.

Walking and walking, Jiang Zhe seemed to think of something, and in Jia Xu's puzzled gaze beside him, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and stared at the river, his eyes flickering.

Could it be that he Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows this time not with a straw boat, but with a use

When Jiang Zhe was suspicious in his heart, Zhuge Liang and Lu Su had just escaped...

I'm afraid that this time is the most embarrassing one in Zhuge Liang's life, not only did he lose the feather fan in his hand, but his whole body was soaked, not to mention, he was stained with dust everywhere, on the other hand, Lu Su was also soaking wet. Not only did he lose his crown, but his face was blackened by the fire, and he looked down.

"Haha!" Looking at each other's embarrassed looks, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Facts have proved that Jiang Zhe's tens of thousands of rockets almost killed Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, and now the two are sitting in a small boat, slowly heading in the direction of Xiakou.

I have to say that Lu Su is worthy of being a sincere gentleman, even if he was so embarrassed by Zhuge Liang, he still looked at the place where the boat had just stopped. Looking at the still faint glimmer on that face, Lu Su shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I almost lost my life in the belly of the fish, it's dangerous, I didn't expect that rocket to be so dense!" ”

Ah" Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement, smiling slightly... side, "After Jiang Zhe wept and tossed, I was afraid that Cao Ying's fire oil was almost exhausted at the moment, but it was bitter for me to wait."

Recalling the matter of Fang Cai, just looking at Zhuge Liang's discovery that Cao Ying had shot thousands of rockets, and still having the leisure to joke with Lu Su, it can be seen that he did not expect that he would be seen through in the middle of this trip.

In fact, even if Zhuge Liang had already seen that Jiang Zhe was in Cao Ying, he also expected that most of this person would come back to interfere in this matter, even if it was to say, Zhuge Liang had already expected Jiang Zhe to order the release of rockets.

It is precisely for this reason that long before Zhuge Liang and Lu Su set off from Xiakou, Zhuge Liang had asked Liu Yan, who was supervising the matter, to order his soldiers to take water, wet all the straw men on the forty warships, and take water on both sides of the ship.

As for the rest of the hull, Zhuge Liang also asked Liu Yi to send people to repeatedly smear it with muddy water, in order to prevent Cao Jun, no, to prevent Jiang Zhe from ordering the release of rockets.

However, the only thing he didn't expect was that Jiang Zhe seemed to be too persistent, and he actually released nearly seventy or eighty thousand rockets.

Seventy or eighty thousand, of which the heat was enough to soaking wet straw men, and then the sails, and the ships themselves......

In just the second salvo, Zhuge Liang's forty warships had already been ignited by rockets, and seeing this, he had to order the ship's abandonment and ask the ship's sergeants to board the small boat hanging by ropes at the back of the warship, that is, to go to the book.

I have to say, Zhuge Liang is in trouble. He was very cautious, he saw that it was not easy for the big ship to turn around, and he was afraid that there would be a sudden change, so he deliberately hung a walker with a rope behind each big ship, after all, there were only thirty or forty soldiers on the big ship, and he could still sit down if he squeezed it.

As a result, more than 20 of the 40 big ships were folded in the blink of an eye, and the remaining 10 or so were also full of smoke.

When he was forced to abandon the big ship, in fact, Zhuge Liang, Lu Su, and the rest of the soldiers did not leave by boat, but deliberately pretended to scream, so as not to let Jiang Zhe see the flaws.

First, Zhuge Liang was even more worried about Jiang Zhe's army encirclement and suppression at the moment, so he asked the soldiers to deliberately scream to appease Jiang Zhe's heart.

Second, I just want to ask Cao Jun to put a few more rounds of arrows, even if it is to consume Cao Jun's supplies, that's good! Of course, this is Lu Su's idea, and Zhuge Liang naturally doesn't think so. Bowing his head and straightening his clothes, Lu Su sat in the small boat, looked back at his back, remembered the thrill of Fang Cai, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and when he turned around, he saw Zhuge Liang looking at the river a little blankly, sighed in his heart, and hesitated to persuade, "Kong Ming, under such circumstances, it is not easy to save a life, don't think about it too much, this matter will be truthfully informed to the public and excuse Kong Ming".

"Exculpation?" Zhuge Liang looked back and said in surprise, "Why excuse me?" ”

"Huh?" Feeling a little inexplicable, Lu Su said in surprise, "Naturally, it's for the arrows, although Kong Ming's plan is ingenious, but unfortunately it was seen through by Cao Yingzhong, there are only three and a half days left in the seven-day covenant, how can Kong Ming rush to make 100,000 arrows?" Ahem, I'm sorry, this plan is very ingenious, but it's a pity that it failed, maybe it was the will of God, Kong Ming don't think about it"

"Defeated?" Seeing Lu Su say this, Zhuge Liang had a slight smile on his face, and Ye Yu said, "That's not likely!" ”

"Huh?" Lu Su looked puzzled, but saw Zhuge Liang turn around and look at the river, and suddenly reached out to probe in the water and retrieve his hand. But there is an extra arrow in his hand,

Suddenly, Lu Su's face was shocked, he leaned over and looked at the river for a while, and then looked at it incredulously, "It's hard to delete"

"Ahh Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, got up and looked downstream, and muttered, "Zijing can almost see it,"

"See what?" Lu Su subconsciously said a word, followed Zhuge Liang's eyes, but saw that in the downstream direction, there were faintly dozens of big ships parked in the water, and as the distance slowly approached, Lu Su's eyes gradually widened.

When the sun slowly rose from the east, the fog on the river gradually dissipated, and dozens of warships in the downstream direction lined up in two rows, stopping in the middle of the river, as if they were connected with something.

"That's the curtain" seemed to see through the doubts in Lu Su's heart, Zhuge Liang Zhengse said, "Sew the curtain, put more holes in it, so as not to make the river flow through the four corners of the curtain, tie ropes to each and hang them on the four big boats, so that the four big ships are two in front, two in the back, and on the curtains of the two big ships in front, tie a big stone to the curtain of the two big ships in front, and then slowly loosen the rope and let the curtain be immersed in the water."

Due to the weight of the boulders bound by the curtains of the two large ships in front of them, the whole curtain is tilted. so that the arrows that rushed down from the upstream can be salvaged,"

"This," even Lu Su, who was extremely resourceful, was obviously a little unclear, while Zhuge Liang still looked at the river and continued to speak.

"The arrows used by Cao Jun, in addition to the arrow clusters made of bronze and iron, the arrow shafts are made of bamboo and wood, in order to shoot the arrows farther, the arrow shafts are exposed to the sun, and the moisture in them is removed, which is very light; Arrow feathers are made of bird feathers, and they can also float on water; More importantly, the arrow cluster, the Cao Jun arrow cluster also follows the Qin method, but for mass production, the Cao Jun arrow cluster is smaller than the Qin State arrow cluster, "Overall, within a little time, although these arrows cannot completely float on the water, they will not be even if they sink in the river, they will have to wait for it to sink." I'm afraid I'll have to wait for the shaft and feather to be immersed in water for a long time before sinking,"

And this place is only three or five miles away from the place where the arrow fell into the river, and it has not been soaked in water for many hours, if it is salvaged in time

Listening to Zhuge Liang's words in disbelief, and looking at the many Xiakou soldiers here in astonishment, Lu Su was amazed in his heart.

After explaining, he boarded the big ship with Lu Su, Zhuge Liang ordered the soldiers on the warship here to hang the four corners of the veil, and sure enough, he saw countless arrows, dozens of warships, roughly calculated, I am afraid that there are no less than 100,000, plus more than 10 grass boats that have not been burned, overall, I am afraid that there are as many as 150,000 or 60,000.

It is mentioned here that Jiang Zhe and Cai Mao are about the same as Jiang consumed more than 25 or 60,000 arrows.

Afterwards, when Lu Su informed Zhou Yu of the matter, he saw that Zhou Yu's expression was a little weird and frowned and thought for a while, but he took out a letter from the case and handed it to Lu Su, and said indifferently, "I don't have time to take care of the rest, you and send someone to send this letter to Cao Ying Cai Mao, in addition, deliberately let Cao Cao know about the soldiers who sent it", his family will have his own Zhou Gong to take care of him in the future, and he will definitely not be treated badly! ”

Stunned to take the letter handed by Zhou Yu, the little joy on Lu Su's face had long since disappeared, his eyes were gloomy, looking at the letter in his hand, he sighed secretly.

Kong Ming: If it weren't for the fear that Jiang Zhe would be angry and chase after him, I really wanted to leave a sentence.

For example, Xie Situ Arrow!

Fan: Tian: The bow and arrow are longer than about centimeters; The arrows used for crossbows are shorter, up and down the centimeters of the fall. In order to achieve range, the arrow shaft is exposed to the sun, and in order to prevent the arrow shaft from cracking, it is soaked in oil.

Therefore, I thought about it repeatedly, in the case that the arrow fell into the water for a short time, the arrow would not sink to the bottom so quickly, and it should be in a semi-floating state, the reason has been said in the text.

It's just a rough calculation, after all, I don't have a real flail...
