Chapter 538: Landing on the North Shore

Jingjun Shuizhai was in a sea of fire, and after seeing the signal of the fire, all the people of Dongwu knew that Huang Gai had succeeded, so they all attacked their respective target points according to Zhou Yu's plan in advance. Ling Tong, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai each led a naval army to break into the Jingjun Water Village, shuttled back and forth in the sea of fire, and took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and many naval officers and soldiers who had not had time to escape were simply unable to resist, either buried in the sea of fire, or died under the bow and arrow of Eastern Wu.

Zhou Yu led a large group of men and horses to start a large-scale river-crossing operation, hundreds of boats competed for the current, thousands of boats raced to cross, and the entire Yangtze River water surface was like clouds, dotted with stars, and it was very lively. The Jingjun Water Village caught fire, and Zhou Yu's crossing had no resistance at all, and the brigade marched towards the north shore in a mighty way.

Chen Wu carried Huang Gai's body and led the fleet towards Zhou Yu's Chinese army. Zhou Yu was on the boat at the moment, commanding the infantry cavalry to land and assemble in an orderly manner, seeing Chen Wu coming alone, he didn't see Huang Gai's figure, and he sighed in his heart, according to the plan, after Huang Gai succeeded, it was Chen Wu who went to pick him up, if he was a qiē shun lì, it should be Huang Gai and Chen Wu coming side by side at this moment, only Chen Wu was seen alone at this moment, could it be that Huang Gai was unexpected?

Without waiting for Zhou Yu to ask, Chen Wu already said with grief and indignation: "Governor Qiyu, General Huang...... He was martyred! ”

"What?" Zhou Yu's eyes were dark, and he almost fell on the boat, but fortunately, the entourage around him reached out to support Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu's eyes were slightly red, and he choked up: "Public ...... Unexpectedly...... Where is his body? ”

Chen Wu ordered someone to carry Huang Gai's body up, although the feather arrows behind him had been removed. But the wound is still clearly visible, Gan Ning's arrow is extremely domineering, not only hit Huang Gai's heart, but also the arrow directly pierced through the hole in the front chest, and shot through a hole in Huang Gai's chest, Huang Gai was lying on his back at this time, his eyes were closed, his face was as white as paper, and the blood had soaked all the breastplate.

"Public reply-" Zhou Yu cried bitterly, and the surrounding Lu Su, Cheng Shi, Lu Meng, Pang Tong and others also burst into tears. Today the fire burned Chibi. Huang Gai can be said to have made great contributions, but he never expected that he would die before leaving the school, and Huang Gai's death cast a bleak shadow on the victory of Soochow.

Good half a day. Zhou Yu stopped her tears. asked Chen Wudao: "What caused the death of the public reply?" At whose hands did they die? ”

Chen Wu explained the details of the time to Zhou Yu. Although it was far away, the fire was as bright as day. Chen Wu can still vaguely see that it is Gan Ning's poisonous hand, not to mention that Gan Ning's archery skills are also notoriously exquisite, at such a distance, an arrow that results in Huang Gai is none other than Gan Ning.

"Gan Ning? It turned out to be him! Zhou Yu clenched his fists tightly, his nails were deeply embedded in the muscles of his palms, his eyes could almost erupt with fire, Gan Ning was the murderer who shot Ling Cao in the first place, the old revenge was not avenged, and a new hatred was added. Gan Ning! If I can't eat your flesh and sleep your skin, I won't be a man! Zhou Yu ordered that if Gan Ning's traces were discovered, all the departments would spare no effort to hunt him down, be sure to capture him alive, and cut him with a thousand knives in front of Huang Gai's spirit, in order to sacrifice Huang Gai and Ling Cao's spirit in the sky.

The 50,000-strong army soon completed the crossing of the river and assembled to the west of Wulin, and Zhou Yu ordered Cheng Zhi and Pang Tong to wait on the warship, and landed ashore with LΓΌ Meng and Lu Su, leading the army to advance in depth.

It is the night when the east wind is flourishing, the fire flies by the wind, the fire burns from the water village to the dry village, and the dry village for dozens of miles is also blazing to the sky, and the flames are soaring. After the footmen of Soochow landed, they did not dare to enter lightly, this fire was too fierce, once they rushed into the fire, under the thick smoke and flames, there was almost no hope of survival.

The fire was set by Zhou Yu, but the fire was not controlled by him, and Zhou Yu did not dare to lead the troops into the fire, so he had to make the army detour left and right, and encircled and annihilated the Jing soldiers who escaped from the fire, but it had little effect.

Zhou Yu wondered, it is said that the Jing army camp is on fire, the Jing army should be in a mess, there is no reason to find a few people around the fire, could it be that they are all buried in the fire? Zhou Yu felt ridiculous when he thought about it, how could this be possible, although the fire was fierce, but people were alive after all, and it was impossible to sit there and wait for the fire to burn.

Lu Meng caught a few live mouths, asked the reason, and told Zhou Yu: "Qiyu Dudu, after the fire started, Liu Ze saw that the situation was not good, and he led a large team of people to go to Jutie Mountain. ”

Zhou Yu was slightly stunned, Liu Ze's movements were so fast, he really managed the army well, and he was still able to organize the army to retreat calmly after the sudden change, which had to make Zhou Yu admire. "Jutieshan? Jutie Mountain? Zhou Yu muttered twice, suddenly his face changed greatly, and secretly shouted that it was not good, Jutie Mountain is Liu Ze's place to store grain, and now Liu Ze's defeated army has withdrawn to Jutie Mountain, and the garrison of Jutie Mountain must be unprecedentedly strong, and he only sent Han Dang's 10,000 horses to attack Jutie Mountain, how can he succeed, it seems that he has to immediately reinforce Han Dang.

Zhou Yu did not suspect that Liu Ze was cheating, Jutieshan was the place where the Jing army was stockpiled with grain, Liu Ze would naturally rely on it as a key place, not only to send heavy troops to guard it, but also to urgently move closer to Jutieshan after the defeat, the purpose was very clear, that is, to ensure that the military rations of Jutieshan were not lost, and the military rations were not lost.

"The whole army obeyed the order, immediately marched towards Jutie Mountain, don't necessarily annihilate Liu Ze at the foot of Jutie Mountain!" Zhou Yu gave a brief military order, and the 50,000-strong army immediately turned northwest and rushed straight to Jutie Mountain.

Jutie Mountain is twenty miles northwest of Wulin, and to the east is a series of rolling low mountains, although the mountains are not high but there are cliffs everywhere, there is no road to climb at all, and to the west is a large swamp, and only the middle road is feasible.

Zhou Yu had just arrived at the intersection of Jutie Mountain, and saw an army in front of him, with figures and torches, and he didn't know if it was an enemy army, so Zhou Yu ordered Lu Meng to lead the army to check.

Lu Meng was also very cautious, it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me in the dark, neither could he injure his own army by mistake, nor could he let the enemy army go lightly, so he ordered his soldiers to take their crossbows and arrows, hide them without sending them, line up in formation, and asked from afar: "Who is ahead?" ”

The other party immediately responded: "But Lu Ziming?" Where is the Governor? ”

As soon as Lu Meng heard that it was Han Dang's voice, he immediately ordered his subordinates to put away their bows and crossbows, and said in a loud voice: "It turns out that Brother Righteous led the troops here, and the governor is behind, please come with me." ”

Han Dang immediately rode out alone and came to see Zhou Yu in harmony with Lu Meng. It turned out that Han Dang was ordered by Zhou Yu to lead an army of 10,000 to cross the river first, and then approached Jutie Mountain, wanting to take advantage of the chaos of the Jing army to sneak attack Jutie Mountain and burn the military rations of the Jing army in one fell swoop. But as soon as he walked to Wuxikou, he happened to bump into Meng Tan, the chief soldier of the Jing Army, and after a fight, Meng Tan retreated in defeat, but Han Dang also delayed a lot of time. After Meng Tan was defeated, Han Dang thought about the task of capturing Jutie Mountain, so he did not chase and kill, but turned towards Jutie Mountain, but did not intend to collide with Zhou Yu's brigade here.

Han Dang is also very strange, according to Zhou Yu's original deployment, he will be responsible for the task of attacking Jutie Mountain, and the main army led by Zhou Yu should go to encircle and suppress the Jing army's dry camp Dazhai, but for some reason he will also rush to Jutie Mountain.

"Liu Ze is so treacherous, Chibi Fangfu is on fire, he gave up the Wulin camp, led the remnants of the defeated general to flee to Jutie Mountain, I am worried that justice is not the main force of Liu Ze, so I led the army to reinforcements. Righteousness, what's going on on your side? ”

It was almost a chaotic battle that night, Liu Ze's army and the army of Eastern Wu were entangled with each other, dogs and teeth were intertwined, and it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.

Han Dang told Zhou Yu about an encounter with Meng Tan, and Zhou Yu was not surprised, such a chaotic situation was not surprising whether he encountered that group of men and horses on the way. Zhou Yu asked Han Dang again if he could know the situation of Lu Xun and Pan Zhang, but Han Dang just shook his head, and he couldn't know the situation of other armies in such a scuffle.

Zhou Yu also understands the battle situation at this time, that is a messy word, if you want to win in the chaos, you have to cut through the chaos quickly, now you only need to take Jutie Mountain and capture Liu Ze, and the Jing army is bound to be gone.

So Zhou Yu and Han Dang's soldiers joined forces and drove along the Wulin Trail towards Jutie Mountain.

On the way, Zhou Yu informed Han Dang of Huang Gai's death, Han Dang and Huang Gai were both old ministers who had been together since Sun Jian's time, thinking that Sun Jian's four generals Cheng Huang Hanzu were all friends of Mo Yi who intersected with their lives, Zu Mao died the earliest, and only three of the four generals remained. Han Dang and Huang Gai have a good friendship, and when they heard that Huang Gai was killed, Han Dang was grief and indignant, and vowed to kill all the people in the Jing Army to avenge Huang Gai.

Zhou Yu relieved a few words, and Han Dang finally stopped crying, but the big knife in his hand was held tighter, urging the war horse, rushing to the front, eager to give birth to wings and fly to Jutie Mountain to take revenge.

The firelight behind him is getting farther and farther away, the sky is already white, and it is not far away to see Jutie Mountain.

Lu Su looked at the surrounding environment in the morning light, seeing that this place was so sinister, he couldn't help but feel a chill, and said to Zhou Yu: "Dudu, Liu Ze is the best at using soldiers, the terrain here is so treacherous, be careful that he has an ambush." ”

Zhou Yu didn't care, and said with a smile: "Zijing is too worried, on the Jutie Mountain in front, it's just a group of Liu Ze's remnants of defeated generals, what are you afraid of?" Even if Liu Ze lays down here, what can he do to me? The only thing I am afraid of is Zhang Fei's thunder horse, but at this moment, the thunder horse is still in Yicheng, eight hundred miles away, even if Zhang Fei is fast and whipped, he can't fly to Wulin with wings. ”

Before Zhou Yu's laughter fell, he heard the rumbling in front of him like thunder, shaking the sky and the earth, rolling in. (To be continued......)
