Chapter 594: Zhuge returns to Liu
The Yangzhou Navy has already held the momentum of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, and rushing out is a way for them to live, and they can't rush out, anyway, they are all dead ends.
And the Jiangdong Navy and the Jingzhou Navy on the opposite side are also holding back their anger, because after the battle of the past few days, the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy can be regarded as suffering too much loss in the hands of the Yangzhou Navy Army, countless robes have been killed and wounded, but the enemy has not suffered much casualties at all, this kind of resentment of the death and injury of the robes has been accumulated for a long time, so the Jiangdong Navy and the Jingzhou Navy have not slackened at all.
"Bed crossbow with arrows!" Lu Xun ordered to the lieutenant general on the side.
A tall bed crossbow was pulled out of the warship of the Yangzhou Navy Army, emitting a cold light, and huge arrows were rippling in it.
"Aim,!" Lu Xun issued an order to his subordinates, but the adjutant general on the side raised doubts.
"General, there are not many crossbow arrows in our army's bed, so it's better to get closer! This will allow the enemy to deal more damage! "The adjutant general said very reasonably, the three cardinal giant arrows of the Yangzhou Navy have been consumed, and now they should be close to the enemy, and then throw, because in this way it is possible to kill the enemy to a greater extent, the farther the distance, the lower the hit rate.
Only by getting the enemy close enough to get the arrows from the bed crossbow to fall on the enemy's ship.
And now Lu Xun is going to shoot at this range of 700 meters? Although this can hurt the enemy, it will also waste the giant arrows of the bed crossbow, which doesn't matter on weekdays, but now they only have one base number of arrows on their warship.
"What if all the arrows hit the enemy?" Lu Xun explained to the deputy general on the side, the other party's 100,000 troops are on the surface of the Yangtze River, but they are not afraid of the killing of your bed crossbow.
And now all Lu Xun has to do is to make the enemy suspicious. Let them think that the Yangzhou Navy still has enough crossbow arrows. In this way, it will inevitably make a gap between the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy Army. Because no one wants to rain arrows from the Yangzhou Navy for the other side.
If Lu Xun pulls the enemy down close and then attacks, with the IQ of Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and others on the other side, he will definitely soon know the news that the Yangzhou Navy bed crossbow and giant arrows are no longer enough, once this happens, then the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy will naturally rush like wolves that smell blood, in this case, they will really not be able to rush out.
Countless rains of arrows were hurled from the bed crossbow. Even the same 700-meter bed crossbow of Liu Mangjun was able to hit him with enough power, and countless giant arrows were like rain towards the Jiangdong Navy and Jingzhou Navy on the opposite side.
"Ahhhh Countless screams, and many warships were beaten into hornet's nests. Of course, there were also many huge arrows that fell on the surface of the water, splashing countless times.
Under such a volley, the combined forces of the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy lost no less than ten warships.
Wen Ping's heart is dripping blood, because this time his Jingzhou Navy is still those Liu Biao's descendants, Wen Ping's front and back were killed and injured by Lu Xun's Yangzhou Navy at once, thousands of Jingzhou Navy's descendant troops, these descendants are loyal to Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao's soldiers and horses, it can be said that they do not listen to Cai Mao's orders, nor do they listen to Huang Zu's orders, it can be said that they are different from other soldiers and horses in the entire Jingzhou, only listen to the orders of the lord Liu Biao.
Now obey Wenpin's order or because Liu Biao gave the military power to Wenpin, Jingzhou Liu Biao had told Wenpin before Wenpin went on the expedition, Jiangxia soldiers and horses can die, but this descendant army must be retained. Even if Jiang Xia loses it, it's like this. From here, it can be seen that Liu Biao attaches great importance to his descendants.
It was precisely because of the high losses before that Wen Ping was afraid that it would be difficult to go back and explain to the lord Liu Biao that the descendants of the troops were the first to bear the brunt of the front. In this way, you can get more military exploits, because in Wen Ping's opinion, these Yangzhou naval forces are already the turtles in the dying urn, and taking them down is just a blow to the dust, with these military exploits, Wen Ping can go back and explain to the lord Liu Biao, but he didn't expect such a scene, these Yangzhou naval forces not only did not weaken their combat effectiveness in the slightest, but also played such a record.
"Send me a letter and ask Zhou Yu, didn't he say that there are not many arrows left in this Yangzhou navy, what is the situation now, I want him to give me an explanation!" Wen Ping said to his subordinates on the side with a gloomy face. There are now more than 5,000 descendants left in the descendants that Liu Biao gave him, and more than 10,000 people died in battle.
"Yes!" The adjutant general had never seen Wen Ping's gang angry, so he quickly sent out the signal and asked about the friendly troops on the side.
"Report, report to the lord, the governor of the capital, the Jingzhou Navy sent a message, asking us why these Yangzhou Navy still have bed crossbow arrows!" The herald quickly handed over the questioning of the Jingzhou Navy to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
"Did he Jingzhou Navy question us? Hehe! Sun Ce's eyes were also gloomy, and the Jingzhou Navy asked them, who are they going to question?
Zhou Yu also raised his head to look at the Yangzhou Navy that was getting closer and closer, Zhou Yu thought that this Yangzhou Navy should not have many crossbow arrows, because at the beginning of the encounter, the Yangzhou Navy didn't care about the consumption of giant arrows at all! This Lu Xun's idea is also to fight a wave, and if he earns enough money, he will run, anyway, the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy will not be able to catch up with them, but there is a knowledge that this Jiangdong Navy will play the iron lock across the river.
"What is his Jingzhou Water Army, let him be hired, and he will do whatever he wants!" Sun Ce didn't care about Wen Ping's idea at all, this Yangzhou Navy was already a turtle in the urn, and Zhuge Liang was about to surrender to himself, Sun Ce's men and horses in the warship could completely annex this Jingzhou Navy and Yangzhou Navy Army, so Sun Ce didn't care about Wen Ping's questioning at all.
"Slow! You go to sue sù Wenpin, what we sue him is that there are not many giant crossbow arrows in the bed of this Yangzhou naval army, not without it! "Now is not the time to startle the snake, it's better to stabilize Wenpin.
"Humph!" Wen Ping got the news and slammed his fist on the warship, doesn't this mean that he didn't say it?
"General, this Jiangdong Navy doesn't take us seriously at all!" The lieutenant generals on the side were not surprised, they questioned the past, and now they have changed back. Is that such a tepid answer? "Does the general want us?" The lieutenant general said and gestured to Wen Ping. It means to stumble behind the back of the Jiangdong Water Army, which is now an ally.
"It's not time yet!" Wen Ping shook his head. If you stumble now, it will only make it possible for the Yangzhou Navy to break through. Isn't the purpose of their union to eliminate the Yangzhou Naval Army, now let's solve the Yangzhou Naval Army first, as for the future! Wen Ping's eyes also narrowed, and this time he joined forces with the Jiangdong Water Army. , he is not hired, he is not worried, he is ready to take the Yangzhou Navy after the don't much, just grab one or two new warships of the Yangzhou Navy Army. Then with Jingzhou's huge shipbuilding industry, these new warships will definitely be able to serve in the battle ranks of the Jingzhou Navy soon, as for the previous negotiation with Jiangdong, once the Yangzhou Navy is taken, Chengruo, who ceded Jiangxia to the Jiangdong Army, let him hell with it.
"Gong Jin, do you want us to lower our speed and let the warships on both wings come to resist?" Although Sun Ce expressed disdain for Wen Ping's questioning, he still felt sorry for his Jiangdong Army, and the warships on both wings had been strengthened a lot before the expedition, and they could resist the attack of the bed crossbow and giant arrows more than other warships.
"No need!" Zhou Yu shook his head: "This Lu Xun is just a bluff!" Zhou Yu said indifferently.
"But?" Sun Ce was still a little uneasy, because if the bed crossbow giant arrow of this Yangzhou Navy Army was really insufficient, then he should have put a close attack, not this kind of projectile, although it was powerful. But waste is also strict.
"What Lu Xun wants is the idea of the lord and the Wen hired to avoid the war and protect the ship!" Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce, because Lu Xun threw a bunch of arrows from a distance, showing off his wealth with no shortage of giant arrows. He just wanted the Jingzhou Navy and the Yangzhou Navy to be jealous of each other, because although these two armies were allies, they both had their own evil intentions. Once one side has the idea of avoiding war and wants to let the friendly army help him to be eye-catching, then the formation will definitely be chaotic, then his Yangzhou naval army will have the possibility of breaking through.
"Sue Sù Wenpin, if he avoids the battle, then my Jiangdong Navy will retreat immediately!" Zhou Yu said to the herald.
Soon Wen Ping's reply came, the Jiangdong Navy did not retreat, and his Jingzhou Navy Army would not retreat. Although he spoke very badly, Zhou Yu laughed.
"Isn't it useless?" Lu Xun saw that the formation of the Jingzhou Navy Army and the Jiangdong Navy Army was not chaotic at all, but became more consistent, and Lu Xun knew that his strategy had failed.
"Stop all the guns from firing, and get closer before you shoot!" Lu Xun could only give such an order.
Originally, they didn't care about the number of giant arrows in bed crossbows, and squandered them at will, and the Yangzhou Navy stopped shooting.
"Is that so?" Zhou Yu looked at the warships on both sides and was already about to see the appearance of the enemy. "Send the order to go down to the flagship of the Yangzhou Navy and shoot him for me regardless of the loss!" Zhou Yu said to his subordinates.
He wants to deter people in the future, the flagship of the Yangzhou Navy is the backbone of the entire Yangzhou Navy Army, as long as the flagship of the Yangzhou Navy is sunk by him, naturally the other Yangzhou Navy warships will be leaderless. In this way, it will be convenient for the Jiangdong Army to take over the new warships of the Yangzhou Navy Army.
"Slow!" Just when the herald was about to send the order, Sun Ce stopped him: "Gong Jin, don't shoot the flagship!" ”
"My lord?" Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce suspiciously.
"Gong Jin, what do you think of this Lu Xun's talent?" Sun Ce asked rhetorically.
"There are handsome talents!" Zhou Yu did not hesitate to say his evaluation of Lu Xun, Lu Xun is just a weak person, but he can command 10,000 sailors in Yangzhou and is at ease, you must know that when he Zhou Yu debuted, he was only commanding 3,000 people, and he was already a little in a hurry.
"Handsome? Why doesn't such a man take him into his hands? Sun Ce said with a glint in his eyes.
"Lord, this person is full of wildness, arrogant and difficult to tame!" Zhou Yu wanted to persuade Sun Ce to dispel the idea of recovering Lu Xun.
"Can there still be Zhuge Liang arrogant? Can Zhuge Liang be talented? Sun Ce used Zhuge Liang to compare with Lu Xun.
"Can't!" Zhou Yu replied that Lu Xun could only make Zhou Yu appreciate and think that he was a manufacturable material, but Zhuge Liang made Zhou Yu sigh, because Zhou Yu was inferior to Zhuge Liang in many aspects.
"Then he'll be able to take it!" Sun Ce said to Zhou Yu.
"But!" What else Zhou Yu wants to say, you have to know. This Lu Xun and Lu Boyan have a vendetta against your lord Sun Ce. Countless people from their Lu family died in the hands of your Sun Ce. Although it wasn't killed directly, it was also done indirectly, so can such a grudge be lifted? His grandfather, Lu Kang.
"Don't say it, just take him!" Sun Ce said to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu mentioned Lu Kang and thought that it was for Sun Ce to dispel the idea of subduing Lu Xun, but it was okay if he Zhou Yu didn't propose it, and this proposal made Sun Ce's donkey temper rise.
"Lu Kang. Lu Kang, if your grandson came under my command, I don't know if you would say something like that? Sun Ce's eyes were filled with a cold light, his eyes looked at the big Lu character on the Yangzhou naval warship in front of him, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought, the battle of Lujiang, attacking the Lu family, in addition to Lu Kang's stinginess and reluctance to give food and grass, there is also a reason, that is, the original Lujiang Taishou Lu Kang humiliated him Sun Ce.
Lu Kang's evaluation of Sun Ce is that he only has the courage of a horseman, but he has the wisdom of an ordinary person, and it is difficult to become a great weapon after all. will inevitably fall into the world, like your father.
This is how Sun Ce was completely angered, and he was so humiliated by an old man like Lu Kang. Sun Ce, who was still a young man with strong blood, would be able to endure it, so he added fuel and vinegar to Yuan Shu, and finally took the soldiers and horses given by Yuan Shu to attack Lu Kang, Yuan Shu was also happy, he also wanted Lujiang County for a long time, and he was also ruthless with Lu Kang's old stubbornness, and now someone is willing to lead troops to attack, this is not Yuan Shu's heart. For Sun Ce, the eldest son of Sun Jian, an old friend of the past, Yuan Shu is still very relieved
Sure enough, as Yuan Shu expected, Sun Ce's combat effectiveness was not inferior at all, his dead father helped him, Yuan Shu solved the Lu Kang, and took Lujiang, at that time, Yuan Shu gave Lujiang to Liu Xun, it can be said that Sun Ce was doing useless work.
But Sun Ce was still so dedicated to Yuan Shu, attacking Lujiang, and fighting for three years in one fight, just because of Lu Kang's words.
Sun Ce has been holding back this anger all along, he thought that he could force Lu Kang to surrender and let Lu Kang retract such words, but who knew that Lu Kang's dead old man was completely a stinky and hard stone in the pit, and he could put the whole family in the prison in Anhui City and put down a jack pendant
In the end, the Lu family starved to death in prison, that is, he did not surrender to him Sun Ce, and Lu Kang did not change his words until he died, but this matter has been lingering in Sun Ce's heart for many years.
Now I see Lu Kang's grandson Lu Xun, you know! Now Sun Ce is equivalent to finding an outlet, originally annoyed that the Lu family has been working against him, and now Sun Ce just wants Lu Xun to surrender to him, in this way, he Sun Ce can disdain Lu Kang in front of Lu Kang's grave, you see you said that I have no interest, but now this person who is difficult to achieve great things you said has become the lord of your grandson, and your grandson has to bow down when he sees me, what else can you say.
So now Sun Ce looked at Lu Xun's eyes, which were fiery.
Zhou Yu didn't know what was going on, but looking at Sun Ce's firm eyes, he knew that his lord could not change anymore, so even though Zhou Yu didn't know, he still resolutely stood on Sun Ce's side.
"Pass the order, give me all the forward troops aimed at the Yangzhou Navy, I want to see them sink in front of me!" Zhou Yu shouted loudly to his subordinates, he couldn't shoot the flagship of the Yangzhou Navy Army, so he would retreat to the next best thing and go to the vanguard of the Yangzhou Navy Army, and he would definitely give the Yangzhou Navy a dismount, and let them know that they were afraid, only if the Yangzhou Navy was afraid, they would stop the warship.
"Yes!" Although the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy are not the opponents of the Yangzhou Navy in all aspects, they can't stand the many people, and the speed of the warship is not as fast as you, so I will limit your speed and block you in the waters of the Yangtze River, my bed crossbow is not as far as your range, so I will get close to you and let you be in my range.
Four hundred ships, five bed crossbows on one ship, and two thousand here. Two thousand bed crossbows came within his distance and shot out at once.
"Shoot!" The generals of the Yangzhou Navy and the generals of the Jingzhou Jiangdong Coalition Army roared at the same time.
A warship of the Yangzhou Navy with forty bed crossbows and twenty crossbows is eight hundred, eight hundred against two thousand, and the entire Yangtze River surface is covered by the giant arrows of the bed crossbow.
"Boom, boom!" The warships of the Jiangdong Navy have sunk, and although the strength of the warships of the Yangzhou Navy is much higher than that of the Jiangdong Navy, it cannot withstand the enemy's attack.
The three forward warships of the Yangzhou Navy were directly bombarded to pieces. The whole ship was torn apart. The soldiers of the Yangzhou Navy above have no way to survive at all. There are two warships behind him that have also been beaten into a hornet's nest, although they are still fighting back stubbornly, looking at this one from time to time to shoot a bright arrow, I also know that these two warships are also more auspicious.
"Rush over!" The loss of five warships is nearly 2,000 people, which can be regarded as the largest battle loss of the Yangzhou Navy Army, not to mention the precious Cheng Dù of the Yangzhou Navy Army, as well as those warships and bed crossbows.
"General, you're looking at the fire!" The adjutant pointed ahead and shouted to Lu Xun.
"No!" Lu Xun saw that the place where the fire caught fire was no one else. It was the warships of his own fleet, and it turned out that the two warships that had lost power and knew that they could not get rid of them took out the fierce fire oil on board and set their own warships on fire.
"Fire?" Sun Ce over there was surprised in his heart, he was not worried that the fire on this warship would burn himself, the fire of these two lighted warships naturally could not reach the warships of the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy Army, because they no longer had much power. Even if they can move, with the bed crossbows on the warships of the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy Army, they will not let their mothers get close, and they will inevitably be sent to the bottom of the Yangtze River when they get close.
Sun Ce was surprised, he was distressed, these two new warships, the first three were not among them. There is no way to save it, and these two warships can see that he can still float on the water, and they know the excellence of this Yangzhou naval warship. Pulling it back to the shipyard can still be repaired and allowing him to rejoin the combat sequence.
"Brothers, rush over now!" Lu Xun held back the roar in his heart and shouted to the soldiers on the side, they were not fruitless after losing five warships, at least they also eliminated several enemy warships in front of them, and they were getting closer and closer to the enemy, the distance was shortened, and the bed crossbow naturally did not dare to be used by the other party, because it was easy to hurt friendly soldiers with the penetration ability of the bed crossbow.
"Prepare for the collision!" Lu Xun roared loudly, the angle of attack of the new warship of the Yangzhou Navy was exposed, and it was extremely sharp, and in Lu Xun's roar, everyone on the warship grabbed the fixed objects around them to prevent them from being thrown out in the next collision.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The angle of attack on the battleship of the Yangzhou Navy was very powerful, and the hull of the building ship of the Jiangdong Navy over there was like paper paste, and it was directly torn apart.
Fifteen warships cut through the wind and waves and moved forward, and in this collision, the Jiangdong and Jingzhou coalition forces lost more than a dozen warships.
There were thousands of casualties again, and Wen Ping and Sun Ce's faces were not very good.
"Rush over, rush over!" Lu Xun finally had a smile on his face, the enemy's warship in front of him was finally about to be broken through, as long as he rushed out, then with the speed of the new warship of the Yangzhou Navy Army, the Jiangdong Navy and the Jingzhou Navy would not be able to catch up at all......
Seeing that he was about to rush out and escape, suddenly the warship shook violently, Lu Xun didn't hold it well, and directly stumbled out, but fortunately, the deputy general on the side grabbed Lu Xun in time, otherwise Lu Xun would definitely be injured this time.
"What's going on, what's going on!" Lu Xun felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
"General. General, chains, chains! Soon the herald sent the news.
"Where did the chains come from?" Lu Xun was stunned, because the rear was chained by the river, so they chose to break through frontally, but there were still iron chains in the frontal breakthrough.
"Huh! Still want to rush out? Daydreaming! The Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy looked at the Yiqi in front of them and couldn't help but sneer.
All the warships of the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy were hooked together with iron cables, even if the warships were sunk, the iron cables were still there, and they were just intercepted outside by the buoyancy of other warships.
Therefore, the Yangzhou Navy will not be able to rush out at all, unless he can sink all the warships of the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy for him.
Just when Lu Xun was stunned, the Jiangdong Navy over there had already surrounded him.
"Surrender, Lu Xun!" From the Jiangdong Navy warships, there was an echo of Sun Ce.
"General, what should we do!" Surrounded by the enemy, many people in the Yangzhou naval army panicked.
"General, we fought with them!" Some people were very excited, because many of them were from Jiangxia, and they were born at odds with Jiangdongjun.
"Yes, general, we fought with them!"
"Lu Xun, Lu Boyan, as long as you surrender, you are in Yangzhou, the king of Shu Liu Mang gave you, my Sun Ce will also give it to you, and even give you twice as much as him!" Sun Ce loudly lured Lu Xun over there.
"If you don't surrender, then you're dead! Don't think about burning these warships, it's impossible, as soon as I give an order, an army of 100,000 will surge, these warships are mine, and your lives are also mine, surrender, join my Jiangdong Army, across the Yangtze River, the Yangzhou Navy is over! ”
"General, us?" Some soldiers were shaken, they could have rushed down with all their might, but once they stopped, people were always afraid of death.
"Report, General, we have only a dozen giant arrows left in our bed crossbow!" The bed crossbows on the warship have almost all been used up, and a dozen are not enough for one round.
"Isn't there any more of the bed crossbow arrows? Could it be that the heavens are really going to kill me Lu Xun? Lu Xun's face was full of bitterness
"Guys, do you believe me, Lu Xun and Lu Boyan?" Lu Xun said with a smile to the people under his hands. "General, we are following you, we are with you! Whatever you say is what it is! "There are soldiers on the side who said to Lu Xun, although Lu Xun is the commander of the airborne, everyone was very unconvinced at first, because Lu Xun is a weak crown person, who will be convinced by a hairy boy. However, Lu Xun used his achievements to explain why the lord and the military adviser would appoint Lu Xun as the commander of the Yangzhou naval army after Gan Ning left.
"Okay, then pass on my military order to take out all the fierce fire oil for me! This warship must not be left to the Jiangdong Army! Lu Xun was awe-inspired, he was ready to play, the jade was broken, the bed crossbow and the giant arrows were gone, and the road was blocked, so Lu Xun was also on fire.
"Yes!" The men under his command were about to prepare for action, when suddenly a captain shouted, "Slow! “
"What's the matter, Captain Yu? Are you scared? If you are afraid, then please ask Captain Yu to go out and surrender! Lu Xun said coldly to this Captain Yu, and the other soldiers on the side also glared angrily at this Captain Yu.
"No, general, although I Yu Cheng doesn't understand any big truths, I won't betray His Royal Highness the King of Shu, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is good to us, we won't see it!"
"What do you mean, Captain Yu?"
"I just want to remind the general, didn't the military advisor give the general a letter before this?" The lieutenant said to Lu Xun.
"Letters?" Lu Xun was stunned for a moment, but then he remembered, indeed, before the battle, a letter was indeed sent from Lujiang, this letter originally Lu Xun thought that the intelligence was ready to be disassembled directly, but it was stopped by the herald, he said that it was sent to Lu Xun by the military advisor, and told Lu Xun not to open it unless he had to.
And now it seems that it has really come to the last resort.
Under the reminder of this Lieutenant Yu, Lu Xun took out the letter from his arms, opened him and read it, the more he looked, the bigger Lu Xun's eyes became, and in the end, Lu Xun took a deep breath, and he also asked a question, "Do you still believe in me Lu Xun?" (To be continued......)
