Zhu Wan didn't win the Tiger Prison Pass in today's battle, and he was faintly worried that when he fought again tomorrow, Lu Kang would take him down, but now it seems that this worry is superfluous, Lu Kang still trusts him as always, which makes Zhu Wan is excited, and said generously: "Don't worry, Da Sima, the last general should not be dishonored." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lu Kang coughed lightly, even if he was watching the battle, his body was struggling to survive, but now that the battle had reached a critical moment, he couldn't allow Lu Kang to rest, he nodded lightly, and said: "When marching and fighting, you must learn to use your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. ”

Zhu Wan didn't understand what he meant, and said, "Please make it clear to Da Sima." ”

Lu Kang said: "Our army is good at water warfare and the Shu army is good at land warfare. ”

Zhu Wan suddenly realized, want to break through the Tiger Pass, if from the front, it is naturally thankless, if you can detour back from the flank to the back of the Tiger Pass, you can receive twice the result with half the effort, the south of the Tiger Pass is a lofty mountain, climbing the mountain is not the strength of the Wu army, and the north of the Tiger Pass, but the surging Yellow River, when it comes to water warfare, if Wu Guo is said to be the second, no one in the world dares to call the first.

After seeing the mighty surging Yangtze River, the water of the Yellow River is just a small ditch in the eyes of the Wu people.

The city wall of the Tiger Prison Pass extends to the south embankment of the Yellow River, and the north wall of the entire Tiger Prison Pass is built near the river, and such a structure can effectively prevent the enemy from detouring back to the back of the Tiger Pass from the side, so as to avoid the Tiger Prison Pass from being attacked by the abdomen.

For the attacking side, a frontal attack is definitely not as good as a two-sided attack, if the Wu army can detour back to the back of the Tiger Prison Pass to attack, it can disperse the Han army's forces and reduce the pressure of the frontal attack.

After getting Lu Kang's suggestion, Zhu Wan was like a treasure, and personally went to the edge of the Yellow River to check, now the Yellow River's peach blossom flood has just passed, and the rainfall is low during this time, the water level of the Yellow River has dropped significantly.

The most important thing in Eastern Wu is the navy, but the water system of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River is different, and it is very difficult to transfer warships over. However, Zhu Wan thought about it again and again, thinking that if the boat was used, the movement would be too big, and the tiger prison would be closed, and there would definitely be people patrolling the sentry twelve hours a day, and it would be almost difficult if he didn't want to be found smuggling.

Now the only way is to swim across, the section of the Tiger Pass is not too long, only two or three miles away, for the Dongwu sailors with excellent water nature, it is like playing, the slightly unfavorable conditions are that the water of the Yellow River has a large amount of sediment, and the water flow is slightly rapid, but these difficulties are not difficult to overcome for Zhu Wan.

After investigating the water situation, Zhu Wan returned to the camp, at this time the night had sunk, and the soldiers of the Wu army had already eaten dinner and were resting in the camp tent in twos and threes.

Zhu Wan glanced at it and ordered the Chinese army to assemble urgently, and after a while, the Wu army of the whole battalion lined up in a long line, and Zhu Wan said in a deep voice: "Those who know water stand on the left, and those who don't know water stand on the right." ”

After a period of chaos, the soldiers of the Wu army were divided into two parts, the pile on the left was full of people, and there were only a few people on the right, Liao Liao, who were born in Jiangdong, and those who knew water accounted for the vast majority, and only a very few who could not water.

Zhu Wan was quite satisfied with this result, and he selected 2,000 soldiers with excellent water skills from among the soldiers who knew how to water, led by the partial general Xu Cun, and at midnight, they went into the water in the northeast direction of the Tiger Prison Pass, swam in arms, smuggled them to the northwest of the Tiger Prison Pass, and then landed on the shore.

In order not to be detected by the Han army guarding the pass, the Wu army's river crossing operation was carried out very secretly, and the two thousand men were divided into ten groups of more than 200 people, each group of more than 200 people, and the interval between each batch was at least one hour or more.

There was no moon at night, the stars were dim, and the roaring water of the Yellow River was enough to cover the sound of the Wu army crossing the river, although the Han army had a patrol post at the Tiger Prison Pass, but it was so far apart, and the river was dark, it was impossible for them to detect the movements of the Wu army in any case.

Xu Cun himself was a naval general, with excellent water quality, and he took the lead in leading a group of Wu soldiers to jump into the Yellow River.

The water of the Yellow River in spring is very cool, with a piercing feeling, but this is relatively easy to adapt, Xu Cun and these Wu soldiers grew up in Jiangdong Water Town, as soon as they enter the water, there is a feeling of going home, the only thing they are not used to is that there is too much sediment in the Yellow River, take a breath in the water, and the mouth is full of sand.

The water flow of the Yellow River is much more turbulent than some of the big rivers in Jiangdong, and if you don't use some effort, you will be swept away by the river. Fortunately, these soldiers are very good in water, and the mud and sand and rapids bring them some inconvenience at most, but it does not affect their swimming too much, I saw them stretch their arms one by one, and row quickly in the water, the distance of two or three miles, at best, is a little warm-up activity for these dragons in the water, and they soon landed at their destination.

Sure enough, compared to the heavily defended east, the west side of the Tiger Prison Pass was almost empty, and when the Wu army landed on the shore, it did not hit a single soldier.

Xu Cun was not in a hurry, and ordered the Wu soldiers who crossed the river to lurk first, and wait until the other nine groups of Wu troops all arrived before launching the operation.

The whole river crossing operation lasted for a total of one and a half hours, and by the time of the fourth watch, all the 2,000 men of the Wu army had completed the river crossing and had completed the assembly in the northwest of the Tiger Pass.

According to Zhu Wan's original plan, after all the 2,000 Wu troops were in place, they immediately launched an attack on the west gate of the Tiger Prison Pass, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Han army to take the Tiger Prison Pass in one fell swoop.

The progress in the early stage was very smooth, Xu Cun couldn't help but be very excited, if this miracle soldier really broke through the Tiger Prison Pass, it would be equivalent to a miracle that fell on his head, this great thing can be his turn, Xu Cun is also elated.

You must know that among the generals of Eastern Wu, there are not a few who are familiar with water, all of them are good hands, and many generals are better than Xu Cun, but Zhu Wan ordered Xu Cun's generals this time, Xu Cun naturally has to do his best and go all out.

Approaching the fifth watch, Xu Cun had already led an army to approach the west gate of the Tiger Prison Pass, the east had just revealed the color of dawn, and the entire West Gate of the Tiger Prison Pass was silent, and the city gate was closed.

Xu Cun gave an order, and the Wu army launched an attack towards the west gate of the Tiger Prison Pass, without saying a word.
