A hundred sailors on fifty fireships, with the faint light, quietly crossed the arrow towers on the periphery of the Zhao Army's Water Village, and marched towards the interior of the Zhao Army's Water Village, where thousands of large and small warships were moored.

In the Zhao army's water village, more than 10,000 crossbowmen are still shooting in the direction of the Jin army's war drums, and the consumption of bows and crossbows and arrows has been as high as one million, but the Jin army's war drums have not weakened in the slightest, which makes Shi Hu standing on the high platform and the generals under his command a little confused.

"Your Majesty, the sound of the Jin army's war drums has always remained the same, and there is neither an action to attack forward, nor any intention to retreat, there seems to be a conspiracy here!" A general reported to Shi Hu.

Shi Hu was stunned when he heard this, thought for a moment, looked at the generals behind him, and asked, "What do you generals think the Jin army has conspiracy?" ”

"Your Majesty, last night the Jin army hundreds of warships circled around our camp and then withdrew, and this morning came to beat the drum and shout, the last general thought that this was the Jin army's tired enemy's strategy, the purpose is to make our soldiers unable to rest, so as to weaken the combat strength of our army." A subordinate general said confidently.

"Yes! Oh, yes! Yesterday evening, when the Jin army was looking for a tour outside the camp, the last general felt strange, and at this time he came to beat the drum and shout, which was clearly a tired enemy plan not to let our army rest. Several generals agreed.

"Your Majesty, judging from the sound of drums, the Jin army's war drums are only more than 100, and more than 10 warships are enough, and our army can immediately send 30 warships to encircle and annihilate them." A general built yì road.

"A plan to exhaust the enemy." Shi Hu nodded, looked at Zhixiong behind him, and asked, "General Zhixiong, can you send a warship to attack?" ”

Zhixiong shook his head, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, don't do it, at this time the fog is thick, you can't see the number of Jin warships outside, in case you encounter the ambush of the Jin army, it will be troublesome, the Jin army is good at water warfare, and it can still be mobilized freely in foggy days, and our soldiers are extremely unskilled in water warfare, as long as they leave the water village, they will soon lose their way, and they will be scattered, and they can only be broken by the Jin army." ”

"Hmph, after practicing for so long, the soldiers can't even tell the direction." Shi Hu said angrily.

"The fog is too big, the king forgives the sin." Zhixiong hurriedly pleaded guilty.

Shi Hu looked in the direction where the Jin army's drums came from, and said impatiently: "Knock knock, it's noisy, do you want to let the Jin army continue to be so noisy." ”

"Your Majesty, as soon as the fog clears, the last general will personally lead the warships and drive out of the village to drive away the Jin army and sailors." Zhixiong hurriedly said.

Shi Hu pointed to the sky and said angrily, "It's not dawn yet?" It will take at least three or four hours for the fog to clear, hmph. ”

Zhixiong was unhappy and stepped aside.

General Yao Gezhong has been bowing his head and being silent, but his beloved son Yao Xiang behind him has been thinking hard, he always feels that the Jin army is not far or close, and he has been beating drums and shouting, it seems that there is no such simple plan as a tired enemy, and there may be other conspiracies hidden.

After thinking about it for a long time, from factors such as heavy fog, drumming and shouting, boats, and river surface, Yao Xiang thought of a classic battle that occurred in the Three Kingdoms period more than a hundred years ago, the 'Battle of Red Cliffs'.

At that time, Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, was extremely strong, so he had the desire to go south to conquer Eastern Wu in order to realize the unification of the world, and Cao Cao's march was extremely smooth, but when he reached the red cliff on the north bank of the Yangtze River, he was blocked by the river.

In order to cross the river to conquer Eastern Wu, Cao Cao ordered a large army to be stationed on the north bank of Chibi, and trained soldiers day and night, hoarding all kinds of war materials, while the Sun-Liu coalition army on the other side of the river was much weaker than Cao Cao, and the materials were not as strong as Cao Cao's army, and they were obviously at a disadvantage in the confrontation.

In the water battle, the enemy and our warships meet, the use of bows and arrows to kill the enemy is the most effective way, in order to reserve enough arrows, the Sun-Liu coalition army rushed to make bows and arrows day and night, among them, Liu Bei's military adviser Zhuge Liang received the military order, three days to prepare 100,000 arrows.

But Zhuge Liang did not build his own bow and arrows, but borrowed twenty boats from Lu Zijing, and the boats were full of straw men, and then took advantage of the foggy weather to enter Cao Cao's water village camp on the north bank of Chibi, beating drums and shouting, so that Cao Cao mistakenly thought that Sun and Liu were killed, so that ten thousand arrows were fired together, and the classic scene of 'grass boats borrowing arrows' appeared.

Yao Xiang thought carefully for a moment, and thought that the scene during the Battle of Chibi was extremely similar to the scene today, and the Jin army took advantage of the fog to come to beat drums and shout, and it seemed that there was also the meaning of 'grass boats borrowing arrows'.

"Your Majesty, the Jin army seems to be more than a strategy to exhaust the enemy, and the drumming and shouting seem to be hiding another mystery." Yao Xiang clenched his fists and said to Shi Hu.

"Oh, let's talk about it, the Jin army still has a conspiracy." Shi Hu hurriedly asked.

Yao Xiang clenched his fists and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Jin army's move seems to have the intention of borrowing arrows from grass boats, our army has more than 10,000 crossbowmen, shooting continuously, and our army's arrows have cost more than one million, and the Jin army has never withdrawn, and the arrows on its warships should also have 100,000." ”

"Straw boats borrow arrows." Shi Hu was shocked when he heard this, paused, patted his head, and realized: "It turns out that the Jin army still has this conspiracy, this king is careless, this king is too careless, Zhixiong, quickly order all the crossbowmen to stop shooting." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhixiong answered loudly and turned to give orders.

After Zhixiong left, Shi Hu paced on the high platform and regretted: "There are really many talented people in the Jin army!" This king has accidentally lost a million arrows, and the generals must not underestimate the enemy! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, we must keep it in mind." All the generals answered loudly.

As the general Zhixiong gave the order to stop shooting, all the crossbowmen on the periphery of the Zhao army's water village stopped shooting, and above the river, only the drums and shouts of the Jin army remained.

More than ten warships of the Jin army are only a little farther away from the Zhao army's water village than a stone's throw away, so you can still feel the arrows shot by the Zhao army's soldiers, and when the Zhao army's camp no longer shoots arrows, the soldiers of the Jin army naturally felt it, so they immediately reported the situation to Hua'an.

"Big brother, Zhao Jun stopped shooting, did you find something?" Wang San hurriedly asked.

Hua An smiled slightly, and said softly: "I found out that I was fooled, hehe!" ”

"What, the eldest brother means that the Zhao army has discovered our army's attempt, so shouldn't our army's operation fail." Wang San's heart was shocked.

"Big brother, then what should we do next, do we withdraw the army directly?" Wang Biantou was also taken aback by Hua'an's answer, and quickly stood up.

"Sit and sit, what are you in a hurry, big brother's words, haven't you finished yet?" Hua An smiled and motioned for the two to sit down.

After the two sat down one after another, Hua An pointed to the fog and war drums outside, and said softly: "Look, the environment here is not like the scene when Zhuge Liang 'borrowed arrows from grass boats'." ”
