Chapter Eighty-Three: The Tangled Prime Minister
When Zhao Yun was sighing, the hull of the ship suddenly leaned to the left, and gradually lost its balance.
Fang Shao's body shook, and the water to his mouth was all poured on his body, he hurriedly supported the wall of the boat with his hands, looked around, and said busily: "The arrows here are too much, and the ship will be crushed if it goes on like this, quickly, change the drum beat, let the boats adjust their direction, and change the other side to receive the arrows." ”
Only then did the warriors fully understand the young scholar's intentions, and their panic had been replaced by excitement, and they didn't need Fang Shaoduo's orders to beat a new round of drums.
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.
Fang Shaorun took a few breaths, leaned to the window and shouted, "Kill!" Those who get the head of the Cao thief will be rewarded with thousands of gold and sealed ten thousand households. ”
"Kill the thief!" ...... "Get a bounty!" "...... "Marquis" ......
Dozens of people held back their strength, roaring hoarsely, as if they wanted to vent all the breath they had suffered since Nagasakapo, and the sound of shouting and killing gathered like this was really a bit earth-shattering, and the momentum of crying ghosts and gods was as if there were tens of millions of people roaring together.
The more intense and loud Fang Shao's shouts were, the denser the arrows shot from the other side became, and in the end, it was even worse than rain.
Zhao Yun observed slightly, and saw that the ship began to tilt again, so he said: "It's almost, it's time to go back, otherwise the ship will not be fast if it is too tilted, and it will not be good for Cao thief to chase it out." ”
Fang Shao took a cursory look, although the arrows inserted in these dozen boats were not as many as the hundreds of thousands boasted in the "Straw Boat Borrowing Arrows", there were still tens of thousands of branches, and it should be no problem to go back and give Zhou Yu an errand.
Therefore, Fang Shao ordered it to be replaced by the drumbeat of retreat, and after the drum was beaten, the whole ship stopped beating the drum and shouting, turned the bow of the ship, and slipped silently towards the south bank.
On the south bank, Cao Ying's expression became more and more puzzled, and he pondered in his heart: "Under such a dense arrow net attack, the Wu people are still so arrogant, and they don't see the momentum of retreat or strong attack, what kind of trick is this kid Zhou Yu playing?" ”
At this time, a group of strategists who rushed to hear the news had gathered around Cao Ying, and when the others were still as confused as Cao Ying, Jia Xu had already guessed the ** points, but in front of everyone, don't say it clearly, just afraid of wiping Cao Ying'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 to a rocket and give it a try, in this way, whether the Wu people want to storm the water village or lure our water army to fight, they have to retreat." ”
Jia Xu's hint, Cao Ying didn't know, after shooting hard for so long, with his ingenuity, he naturally figured out some clues, just directly changed the order, that is, in front of everyone, he exposed the truth that he was a child of Zhou Yu, and his old face was no easier to hang up than when he was young.
Jia Xu's words just gave him a step down, and Cao Ying said: "What Wen He said is extremely true, order the crossbowmen to stop shooting for the time being, and quickly prepare the rockets and listen to the order." ”
Just when Cao Ying's order was just given, the Wu people in the river fog seemed to suddenly stop moving, and when their crossbowmen also stopped shooting, the inside and outside of the water village suddenly became quiet.
Cao Ying frowned slightly, and muttered: "Why is there no sound all of a sudden, could it be that Zhou Yu, a child, is afraid and can't retreat?" No, this change is too sudden, there must be a conspiracy. ”
The rest of the Wenchen generals, including thousands of soldiers, also looked at each other one by one, and were a little confused by the sudden silence of the Wu people.
Just when the silence reached its lowest point, in the middle of the river mist, suddenly a thunderous shout burst out: "Xie Cao Cheng Xiang Arrow--Xie Cao Cheng Prime Minister's Arrow--"
The soldiers were startled at first, and then in a daze.
But Cao Ying had a complete epiphany at this moment, his face couldn't help but swell red, his shame and anger were all visible, and he scolded angrily in his heart: "Zhou Yu'er! Dare to play me like this, after Ping Wu, I should take all the humiliation of my wife and daughter to repay the hatred of Lonely! ”
Left and right Wenchen generals, some people are ashamed of not being able to see through the enemy's tricks, some people are still in a daze and do not react, and some people feel funny, but they dare not laugh out loud, in short, in the face of this embarrassing scene, all of them are silent and dare not speak, for fear of provoking Prime Minister Cao Cheng, who was laughed at.
"You claim to be smart, but no one can see through the tricks of thieves, and Lone is really disappointed in you!"
Cao Ying put all the responsibility on a strategist, then turned around with his sleeves, got on his horse and hurried away.
All the strategists, look at me, I look at you, except for Jia Xu, everyone can only shake their heads and sigh at each other.
And in the night, the smug shout faded away.
"Xie Cao's prime minister's arrow...... Prime Minister Cao Cheng's arrow...... Prime Minister Cao Cheng ......"
Of course, Fang Shao shouted like this from the beginning, because he felt that he had omitted a "thank you", and the shouting was not only very powerful, but also very joyful.
Fang Shao was also afraid that Cao Yingzhen would chase after him, so he urged the sailors to row quickly, and quickly escaped from the area covered by the enemy's arrows, when the ship gradually approached the south shore, Fang Shao and the others dared to get out of the cabin, looking at the wall of the ship that was shot like a hedgehog, Fang Shao was excited and proud.
At this time, Zhao Yun also came out of the cabin, Fang Shao instinctively raised his fist, and said excitedly: "General Zhao, you and your brothers did a good job this time." ”
Zhao Yun understood his words, but he didn't know why he was raising his fist to face him, so he smiled and said, "Why, if you are excited, you have to punch people." ”
Fang Shao was stunned for a moment, and explained with a smile: "Of course not, this is a custom in my hometown, whenever two people cooperate to do something, they must use their fists to celebrate." ”
"This custom is really interesting."
Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, but still raised his hand and struck his fist with Fang Shao, and the two then looked at each other and laughed.
Zhou Yu was meeting with Lu Su at this time, and as soon as he heard the news, he thought that Cao Jun might want to take advantage of the fog and darkness to do some tricks, so he also ordered the crossbowmen to concentrate in the water camp, ready to meet the enemy at any time, and he himself was on the front line.
Zhou Yu and a group of Wu army soldiers waited for Cao Jun to make a move, but there was no movement left and right, and in the end, there was no even the sound of drums and shouts.
"Gong Jin, what kind of reputation do you say this Cao thief is doing?" Lu Su, who came with him, was also puzzled.
Zhou Yu's expression was calm, and he only sneered: "This old thief is very deceitful, who can know what conspiracy he has, but no matter what tricks he plays, we just brake quietly." ”
Before the words fell, in the night, more than a dozen ships slowly approached, and Wu Jun's mood immediately became nervous, the bow was wound, the knife was unsheathed, and he was ready to meet the enemy. Unexpectedly, when the ship approached, he found that the ship turned out to be his home.
But when he saw the bow of the boat, Fang Shao was standing against the wind, and when he was close to the water village, he saw that Zhou Yu under the reflection of the torch was also standing on the shore not far away, and he smiled and said: "Metropolitan Governor, the tens of thousands of arrows promised by my Liu Envoy have arrived, so please ask the Metropolitan Governor to accept it." ”
