Chapter 788: Born Handsome
In the next two days, Wang Xu was at a loss for how to break Yuzhang, and he frowned all day.
Huang Gai, Jiang Qin, and Sun Ben led 20,000 troops to hold Chaisang, Gan Ning led 10,000 troops to camp on the main road in the south of the city, and Zhou Tai led 10,000 troops to camp in the dangerous highlands west of the city. The three troops and horses formed a corner of each other, not to mention relying on their geographical advantages, they could also rescue each other in a timely manner, and it was not easy to fight either side.
This is Chaisang, when Wu Guo spent a great deal of money to rob this place, it was because the geographical location here was too important, and it was difficult to defend and attack! Even if the troops are weak, they can still hold on for some time and wait for reinforcements, which can be said to be the most suitable place to garrison.
The most important thing is that Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and other generals are difficult to deal with, and in the case of equal shapes, it can be said that there are no flaws at all.
In the early morning of the third day, Wang Xu finally couldn't sit still, and if he continued to confront each other like this, the shape would only become more and more unfavorable to the Chu State. Immediately called Zhou Zhihe Xiangtian, ready to go to the water village to see the situation of the water army, since he knew that the water army had an overwhelming advantage, he always felt that the success or failure would be above the water army.
Because the distance was not too far, he soon arrived at the legendary water village, which he hadn't seen in person for years.
But as soon as he arrived outside the gate of the water village facing the land, Wang Xu was really taken aback: "This is the water village of our Chu country?" Are you sure it's not Watertown? ”
Zhou Zhi was also very surprised: "This seems to be indeed a water city, why is this water village gate almost as grand as the city gate?" ”
On the contrary, Xiang Tian was quite calm, and glanced at him: "You haven't even seen the water village of Chu State?" ”
"Have you seen it?" Zhou Zhihu asked suspiciously.
"Of course!" Xiang Tian said with certainty: "I haven't seen it more than once, I have seen all the three major water villages in Chu State." This one in front of me is the biggest. Xiakou Water Village and Huanggang Water Village are slightly smaller than this. But the difference in scale is not big, and they are the most amazing buildings in the Chu State. ”
"How do you know so well?" Zhou Zhi asked suspiciously.
"Nonsense, if you are an ordinary person, talk more about household things with ordinary people, and you will know." Xiang Tian rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "These three major water villages are well-known among the people of Chu State, and many people have come to see the style, and I had no fixed place to live. Of course, I've seen it! ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu's heart became even more gloomy, such a good condition for the water army has become what it is now, which makes it really difficult for him to accept.
Soon, Song Qian and the others learned of their arrival and immediately came out of the water village to greet them.
Wang Xu entered the water village, after Song Qian's introduction, he felt its grandeur, the area of this water village is comparable to a small city. Only a small half extends into the river.
Facing the direction of the land, there are walls on three sides. It is built of huge stones, there is a main gate, two side doors can enter and exit, and the city wall extends directly to the bank of the river, before it is gradually replaced by thick giant trees, because the bearing capacity of the foundation is not enough, and the stone can only be replaced by the wall built of giant trees.
But these giant trees are extremely thick, and after ingenious architectural ideas, they are very familiar with the construction, and the soldiers will not have a problem fighting at the head of the city.
Within this land area, there is a huge camping area, densely packed with camp tents arranged according to the Bagua Array, and all kinds of facilities are readily available.
On the banks of the river are countless arrow towers, lookouts, and countless large and small platforms, extending from the river bank. The warships were moored on both sides of these platforms, neatly arranged, and the various types of warships were dazzling to see, and from a distance, they looked like herds of wild beasts.
On the periphery of the water village extending into the water, there is also a well-structured water fence, which is connected to each other by iron chains to form several water gates, if it is closed, it can completely prevent the enemy's warships from sneaking attack, and ensure that the water village is not disturbed by night attacks, which can be described as an amazing defense.
At a glance, the scale and the spectacular scene made Wang Xu unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
Zhou Zhi kept chattering on the side: "How many materials do you have to spend here, how much manpower and material resources do you have to spend!" ”
After a long time, Wang Xu calmed down from the visual impact, and was about to turn back to ask Song Qian about the situation, but a crisp voice suddenly came from behind.
"Qi Chu King, Qi Qi generals! Lu Xun and General Lu ask to see the King of Chu! ”
"Lu Xun? How did he get here? Wang Xu was puzzled, then turned around and waved his hand: "Bring him to see me quickly!" ”
After a while, Lu Xun hurriedly climbed to this high platform, didn't care about looking, and saluted Wang Xu: "Lord, there will be a strategy to break the enemy in the end, so hurry up and sneak from Luling, and hope that the lord will forgive the crime of leaving his post without permission!" ”
As soon as he heard that he came with a strategy, Wang Xu was too late to be happy, how could he blame him, and immediately asked: "Bo Yan has any clever plan to break the enemy, but it can be said!" ”
But Lu Xun didn't reply, and suddenly looked into the distance in a daze.
"Bo Yan? Bo Yan? ”
Wang Xu called several times in succession, and Lu Xun woke up suddenly, then shook his head, but still did not reply, but looked into the distance again, as if he was testing whether he was dazzled. Wang Xu followed his gaze and looked back, and suddenly found that he was staring at those dense warships.
"Bo Yan, what's wrong, what's wrong with the water army?" Wang Xu said suspiciously.
Lu Xun's breathing suddenly became short, but he still didn't rush to reply, but stood a few steps away, bypassed the obstruction of Wang Xu and others, and carefully observed the distance again, his expression became more and more excited, and even his handsome face looked a little red, as if he was overexcited.
Finally, he spoke, his voice trembling slightly. "My lord, that's the navy's warship, and all of them are usable warships?"
"Hmmm! Of course, it can be used, and this is not a shipyard, and those who can stay here are all warships in service. Wang Xu said with certainty that although he didn't know much about the navy, he still knew these basic things.
In an instant, Lu Xun was messy.
"My lord, can the last general take a look at these warships first, look at the navy first, and then answer the lord's question?"
"This ......"
Wang Xu thought about it and thought that he was not in a hurry for a while, but he still decided to meet Lu Xun's plea. After all, when he saw this water village, he was all affected by Yan zhòng, and he understood Lu Xun's mood very well, and only by satisfying the urgent thirst for talents could he make it more focused on the effectiveness, which was a means to control it.
"Okay, you can take a look first, but hopefully don't delay too long!"
"Thank you, my lord!"
Lu Xun hurriedly saluted, and then strode impatiently towards the riverbank, Wang Xu was eager to know the strategy to break the enemy, and also led everyone to follow him slowly.
At this time, everyone obviously felt that Lu Xun was really excited, take a look here, look there, and observe the soldiers of the Haiyun Legion in the water village from time to time, and after grinding for half an hour, he rushed back and pleaded with Wang Xu again: "Lord, can you let your subordinates know the characteristics and combat power of these warships?" ”
At this time, Wang Xu was already a little anxious, but seeing Lu Xun's eyes shining, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, he thought about it, and chose to take a step back: "Okay, I'll let Song Qian tell you one by one, but remember, I'll give you two more quarters of an hour at most." ”
"Enough, enough!" Lu Xun nodded excitedly.
Song Qian had heard of Lu Xun's achievements in Jiaozhou, knew that this person's name, and Wang Xu opened his mouth, of course, he did not hide his secrets, and immediately knew everything, said everything, and briefly explained and described the characteristics and combat power of various warships.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xun seemed to be very familiar with the warship, and gradually asked and answered with Song Qian, and the depth of the discussion far exceeded the so-called simple introduction, and finally even Jia Hua, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Fan Tong and others were involved, and the words became more and more detailed, and even under what circumstances, how deep the draft of the warship, and how fast it was, were all being discussed.
The more Wang Xu listened, the more surprised he became, and he glanced at Zhou Zhihe Xiangtian, faintly guessing that this Lu Xun was probably not just excited.
Two quarters of an hour passed in the blink of an eye, but they had no sign of stopping at all, but Wang Xu found that Lu Xun was very familiar with the warship, and after becoming more and more excited, he also decisively chose to extend the time, and even had some expectations, if Lu Xun had enough ability to provoke the beam of the navy, it would be worth the amount of time.
Because Lu Xun was very familiar with warships, even to the point of mastery, he was very quick to accept new things.
More than half an hour later, he seemed to have finished asking the question he wanted to ask, thanked Song Qian and the others, and then saluted Wang Xu: "Lord, let you wait for a long time, the last general is too excited!" ”
"Whew!" Wang Xu breathed a long sigh of relief, waved his hand and said, "Since your requirements have been met, now let's talk about your strategy to break the enemy!" ”
Lu Xun was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "There is no need to break the enemy!" ”
"Not really?" Wang Xu's eyes instantly shot out two sharp lights.
Lu Xun seemed to understand what he was thinking, smiled slightly, and suddenly pointed to the warship in the distance, and laughed loudly: "Lord, with such a powerful warship, with such a large scale of naval army, and with such a good water general such as General Song, what can you do with that strategy that is difficult to determine success or failure and mobilize the army?" Don't mention it! Don't mention it! ”
"If the lord believes in the last general, then I implore the lord to let the last general temporarily command the Haiyun army, and the Wu State naval army will be broken within five days. If the last general knew that Chu had such a powerful naval army, why should the lord worry too much, even if he Zhou Gong came, the last general would let him return with a feather, even if he Zhou Gong was good at water warfare, how could he resist such a powerful Haiyun army. ”
Wang Xu saw Lu Xun's confident appearance, and saw the bearing shown in his gestures, and infinite expectations rose in his heart.
"Bo Yan, there is no joke in the army!"
Lu Xun seemed to have a plan in his heart, and his eyes flashed: "If Zhou Gong is here, I still don't dare to guarantee it, but now that he is not there, if he does not break the Jiangdong Navy within five days, Lu Xun is willing to kill himself on the spot to bear the responsibility!" ”
"Really?" Wang Xu was a little uneasy and asked again.
Lu Xun took a deep breath and nodded heavily with unprecedented affirmation: "Really!" May the military order be established! ”
"Good!" Wang Xu stared straight into Lu Xun's eyes, and said resolutely: "The water army will be handed over to you now, I hope you won't disappoint me." ”
As he spoke, he paused, then took his cadre sword from his waist and handed it to Lu Xun. "This is my sword, you hold him, command the whole army, no matter who it is, but anyone who does not listen to the order, can be cut first!" (To be continued......)
