"Our army is numerous, and the enemy will not dare to land in the daytime!" Pang Tong asked him how to deal with it, and Lu Bu hurriedly replied: "Our army only needs to ambush soldiers and horses on the shore and strengthen patrols at night!" ”

Stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River, although the soldiers of the Han army did not have much to do during the day, at night, they would return to the camp to rest.

If the Jiangdong army really landed on the river bank, they only needed to put a fire, and the Han troops stationed on the bank would be burned to death in their sleep.

Lu Bu's proposal was also out of defense, and he did not say anything about taking the initiative to attack the Jiangdong Army.

Pang Tong's face sank like water, and he didn't say yes, nor did he say no.

The warships of the Jiangdong Navy gathered on the Yangtze River, and all the warships almost congested the section of the river where they confronted the Han army.

Although there are a lot of warships in the Jingzhou Navy, they are relatively less than them, and more importantly, the Jingzhou Navy's perennial lack of training, once they are put into the battlefield, it is impossible to play a key role.

Cai Mao has also had a long time training the navy, but in these days, although the Jingzhou navy is becoming stronger day by day, there is still a gap between it and the Jiangdong navy.

The Han army said that the only one who could rely on it was the army that fought on land.

However, the Yangtze River was in front of the Han army, and the enemy army only set up an array on the river, although the Han army had the intention to fight, but because the enemy army was on the river, it could not launch an attack.

Looking at the Jiangdong Navy on the river, Pang Tong frowned, and said to Lu Bu after a long time: "General Lu, if our army is just waiting passively, I don't know when the Jiangdong Army will land on the shore, for the sake of today, it is better to ask them for a while!" ”

Pang Tong's idea was bold, and Lu Bu, who was well aware of the gap between the Han army and the Jiangdong army in terms of naval army, did not interject.

Jiangdong warships lined up on the river, and the Han army wanted to attack them, but the only way to mobilize the Jingzhou naval army under Cai Mao was to mobilize them.

And whether the Jingzhou Navy can be used, Lu Bu is not too sure.

Looking at the Jiangdong Army on the river, Pang Tong instructed the soldiers on the side: "Go and invite Cai Mao!" ”

"No!" One of the soldiers answered and turned to leave.

After the soldiers left, Lu Bu looked at the river and didn't say a word.

What Pang Tong was planning, he couldn't see clearly.

He said that all he could do was to wait for the soldiers to find Cai Mao, and see how Pang Tong gave orders to Cai Mao.

Obviously, Pang Tong didn't intend to hide Lu Bu's plans, he didn't let Lu Bu leave first, just silently looked at the Jiangdong army on the river, and didn't speak again for a long time.

The water village is not very close to the place where Pang Tong and Lu Bu stopped, and after the soldiers left, after the two pillars of incense were passed, Cai Mao rushed over in a hurry.

When Pang Tong approached, Cai Mao hugged his fists and bowed, first gave him a big salute, and then saluted Lu Bu, without asking any questions.

Pang Tong asked him to come, he should give an order to Shuizhai, and he didn't need to ask questions at all, and Pang Tong also said his intentions back.

Raising his hand towards Lu Buxu, turning his head to look at the Jiangdong Army on the river, Pang Tong asked Cai Mao: "General Cai, our army's navy, if you fight with the Jiangdong navy, what are the chances of victory?" ”

In the past few days, Cai Mao has observed the Jiangdong Navy on the river every day, and of course he also knows the gap between the Navy under his command and the Jiangdong Army.

But if he wants him to say that compared with the Jiangdong Army, the Navy has no chance of winning at all, he feels that he can't hold his face, and when Pang Tong asks him this, he was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "This ......"

"The general's face is embarrassed, but there is no chance of victory?" Before Cai Mao could answer, Pang Tong had already expressed the entanglement in his heart for him.

Don't dare to hide it, Cai Mao maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, and said to Pang Tong: "The prime minister really knows himself and his enemy, our army's navy lacked training in the past, and the warships are outdated. ”

"If you give the last general three years to ......" admitted Pang Tong's statement, Cai Mao felt that she had to say something, raised her head and looked at Pang Tong to explain.

Before he could say his explanation, Pang Tong waved his hand, looked at the Jiangdong army on the river and said: "The general doesn't need to say much, the imperial court is crusading against Jiangdong now, and Your Majesty can't wait for the general for three years!" ”

Before he finished speaking, he was blocked by Pang Tong, Cai Mao didn't dare to say anything, but he was worried in his heart.

The Han army needed to train the navy as soon as possible, and with his training methods, it would take at least three years for the navy to enter the battle before it could be on par with the Jiangdong army.

If Pang Tong is dissatisfied with him, he can be replaced at any time.

Although no general is familiar with the training of the navy, if he wants to replace him, he can find someone at any time.

Holding his fists in both hands, Cai Mao's body bowed slightly, not daring to answer Pang Tong's words, but just waiting with trepidation.

Looking at the warships gathered on the river, Pang Tong frowned slightly, and asked Cai Mao: "General Cai, do you want the naval army under your command to defeat the Jiangdong army?" ”

He suddenly said such a sentence, which made Cai Mao stunned for a moment, raised his head and said with a blank face: "For the generals, I hope that the soldiers under his command will win a few more battles." Just ......"

"No, it's just that!" Without waiting for Cai Mao to finish speaking, Pang Tong waved his hand, stopped him and said: "General, go back and prepare ten ships, one hundred small boats, and the cabins are stuffed with dry firewood, and attack the Jiangdong Army early tomorrow morning!" ”

didn't understand why Pang Tong stuffed the cabin with dry firewood, Cai Mao still responded and retreated.

Seeing Cai Mao leave, Lu Bu asked Pang Tong: "Military advisor, when the navy leaves the station, you should prepare more arrows, why do you want to be more dry firewood in the cabin?" ”

"If the Jiangdong Army lands on the shore, it will launch a fire attack on our army!" Looking at the warships on the river, Pang Tong said to Lu Bu: "Cai Mao leads the army to fight, and it is almost impossible to defeat the Jiangdong naval army. If you want to win this battle, you must be dealt with by Zhou Yu Water Village on the other side! If it is possible for the enemy to launch a fire attack on our army, why can't our army also fire on them? ”

Still didn't understand what Pang Tong's plan was, Lu Bu didn't ask any more, if Pang Tong was willing to tell him the detailed plan, it would be the best.

Even if Pang Tong refused to say it, on the second day, when the Han army launched an attack on the Jiangdong Army, everything was clear at a glance.

During the day, the two armies confronted each other, the Han army had no intention of crossing the river, and the Jiangdong army was also quiet.

Unbeknownst to both sides, the other side was planning to attack them.

Night fell quietly, and when the Jiangdong Army warships on the Yangtze River lit up the lights, the soldiers of the Han Army also returned to the barracks one after another and got into their respective camps.

The Jiangdong warships on the river formed a circular formation during the day.

In the middle of the array, several building ships disembarked some Jiangdong naval forces.

The sailors got on the small boat docked next to the boat, rowed the boat, did not light the torch, and quietly went around the back of the array.

Standing on the boat, looking at the black and dark river, and listening to the sound of the waves made by the river wind, Lu Xun frowned, and his heart was also worried.

The 3,000 Jiangdong naval troops have already boarded Xiaofu, and their task is to break through the Han army's defense line on the riverbank, light a fire in the Han army's barracks, and relieve Jiangdong's worries.

On the surface of the river, small boats walked to the bank of the river by the moonlight.

Looking at the small boats on the black and dark river that were leaning towards the bank of the river, Lu Xun was very bottomless in his heart, and could only hope that the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army who landed on the shore would be able to set fire on the shore smoothly this evening.

On the river, hundreds of small boats full of Jiangdong Army squatted towards the riverbank.

On the shore, several Han soldiers stared at the black river without blinking.

The Jiangdong sailors, who were approaching the shore, took advantage of the night to paddle lightly, and the small boats, which should have been extremely fast, moved closer to the river bank because of their slow movements.

In the Han army barracks, Pang Tong stood outside the commander's tent and looked at the Yangtze River.

A soldier of the Han army quickly ran to him, clasped his fists and said to him: "Prime Minister Qiqi, as expected by the prime minister, the Jiangdong army sent a small boat and is approaching the shore!" ”

"Do you see how many of them are coming?" Hearing that the Jiangdong Army had indeed sent someone to land on the shore, Pang Tong hurriedly asked the soldier.

"The night is too dark, and the distance is too far to see!" The soldier's answer made Pang Tong a little disappointed, but he then said: "Judging from the number of small ships, it should be no less than three or four thousand!" ”

Only three or four thousand people came.

A smile appeared at the corner of Pang Tong's mouth, and he said to the soldier: "Tell General Wei and the others that they want to stabilize, the Jiangdong Army will not all land on the shore, don't do it!" ”

"No!" The soldier answered, turned and ran towards the riverbank.

On the river, the small boats at the front were getting closer and closer to the shore, and when they were about to land, the officer on the ship raised his arm and stopped the way.

Stopping the rowing action, the Jiangdong soldiers on the small boat all turned their eyes to the officer.

The little ones who followed behind also stopped when they saw that the front one had stopped.

All the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army took out their longbows, put feather arrows on the bowstrings, and aimed at the river bank.

It was quiet on the bank of the river, and there was no trace of the Han army at all.

This situation is so abnormal that if there is a small number of Han troops stationed, or only a few Han army patrols, the officers will not have any suspicion on the small boat.

Looking around at the bank of the river, on the small boat at the front, the Jiangdong officer frowned, and never gave the order to advance.

On the shore not far from them, behind a big rock, the Han soldiers with the title of the book hibernating, clutched the blades in their hands tightly, holding their breath and waiting for the Jiangdong army to land on the shore.

The soldiers of the Han army who were lying dormant on the shore had their eyes wide open.

They could hear the slight sound of some small ships of the Jiangdong Army colliding with each other on the bank of the river.

Many Han soldiers held their hands with blades, and they actually sweated a little because of excitement.

After observing the river bank for a while, the officer waved on the small boat at the front, and finally made the decision to move on!
