Jiangnan three major generals.

The three talents of Jiangnan.

The three scourges of Jiangnan!

Since Sun Quan inherited the foundation of Soochow, these four have become three.

Among the successive governors of Eastern Wu, there are two very remarkable. One of them is the elegant Metropolitan Governor Zhou Yu, and the other is the young Metropolitan Governor Lu Xun. Both of them had a famous battle in which less won more, which has been recorded in history and praised for thousands of years.

Zhou Yu burned Chibi, and Lu Xun burned the company camp, which sounds the same. However, Zhou Yu was partnered with Zhuge Liang, while Lu Xun was a one-man leader. According to this, Lu Xun is still above Zhou Yu.

So at this moment, although Lu Xun is young, he also feels that Zhou Yu is not a big deal. He also found out that if he was the governor of the capital, he would definitely be better than Zhou Yu. And Zhou Yu was already the general of Wu Guoda, and he still licked his face and grabbed the position of the governor, which made the deputy governor Lu Xun very dissatisfied.

And Zhou Yu, although his qi has increased somewhat, he can't stand the provocation of a junior to himself. Therefore, the two generations of governors always fight openly and secretly, but fortunately, the direction of their struggle is to see who is more capable and who is more cowardly, so Sun Quan is still happy to see it.

At this moment, Lu Xun took Zhang Xiu and Zhu Ran and bowed, "The Metropolitan Governor, the three of us have come here by edict to assist the Metropolitan Governor in guarding Chibi." After speaking, Lu Xun, who hung his head, looked at Zhou Yu with his eyes, and said in his heart that you are a general and still occupy the position of the governor of the capital, and he didn't say that he would give it to me.

Zhou Yu, who was originally standing, sat down with a smile and said, "With Deputy Governor Lu coming to help, we will definitely be able to defeat the Qin Army's water division." ”

The generals knew that the Metropolitan Governor and the Deputy Governor were not in the same eye, so they did not say a word and watched.

At this time. A lieutenant who rushed in from outside to spy on the enemy entered the shocking report: "The governor of the capital is not good. The Qin Army's naval division on the river was dispatched, with nearly a thousand large and small ships! ”

Zhou Yu was taken aback. Anxiously asked, "Is there a battleship?" ”

"All six ships are dispatched!" The lieutenant panicked.

The generals' faces changed dramatically.

Here Zhou Yu has not yet given orders, and Lu Xun over there walked in front of Zhou Yu's handsome position, faced the south battle, and said calmly: "You don't need to panic, I have a water village platform, full of trebuchets, but the giant ships of the Qin army." Where are Jiang Qin and Pan Zhang? ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he said in his heart that the general and the governor have not spoken yet, and you kid will start to give orders by then. Immediately, I couldn't wait to go down and kick Lu Xun out.

The generals were also a little surprised, Zhou Yu was the Grand Governor, Cheng Pu was the second deputy governor, and Lu Xun was the third deputy governor. As a result, the generals were silent for the time being, and Jiang Qin and Pan Zhang did not respond.

Cheng Pu had a calm face and scolded: "Nephew of the Lu family, and listen to the orders of the metropolitan governor." ”

When the generals heard this, they touched their beards. The heart said that your old nephew didn't worship his uncle when he saw it. Still chattering endlessly.

As soon as he heard the seniority theory, Lu Xun's elegant face was no less than Zhou Yu's, and he suddenly became red. Fortunately, Lu Xun was more energetic than Zhou Yu when he was younger, and Zhang Xiu and Zhu Ran on the side held on and endured it for the time being.

Zhou Yu sneered. immediately straightened up, took out the general order from the desk, and shouted: "Han Dang and Huang Gai are the pioneers of the front." A small boat with only 30 men from the headquarters went out to lure the enemy. Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai led the second team of the headquarters to the west of Shuizhai, and Lü Meng and Pan Zhang led the headquarters to the third team to the east of Shuizhai. Dong Xi, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Zhu Heng. Command the Quartet trebuchet position. The generals carefully read the orders of the Governor of the Central Army and ...... to adapt to the situation. ”

"Whoa!" The generals took the orders and left.

Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu took the rest of the generals. Go to the attic of the central water village and watch the enemy dispatch.

On the other hand.

Emperor Hongwu had been hearing in the report that the land-based defensive positions of Eastern Wu were very strong, and that Sun Quan had cut down the forests south of the Yangtze River and built tens of thousands of trebuchets to control the water surface of the river on the side of Eastern Wu. The decisive battle between the two armies and Chibi, Qin Feng reminded himself on the one hand that he must not follow in the footsteps of Cao Cao. On the other hand, he also needs to listen to the truth and reality.

So, after discussing with the military advisors, Qin Feng planned to make a feint. On this day, Qin Feng ordered Gan Ning and Tai Shici to be the vanguard, and he personally sat in the Chinese army, urging more than 1,000 large and small warships to approach the Dongwu Water Village.

Zhou Yu first came to the top of the ten-zhang watchtower and looked at the enemy. It was found that the north side of the river where the three river estuaries converged for dozens of miles was densely packed with the warships of the Qin army. Six of them, 100 meters long and tens of meters wide, were very eye-catching, with a metallic sheen. In the bow of the middle one, there are many bright yellow canopies shining with golden light, obviously, it should be the flagship of Emperor Hongwu.

Qin Feng discharged six circular formations, six battleships were in the array, building ships and fighting ships on both sides, and ships and boats were constantly cruising around. Qin Feng watched from the Xiangyang in the central circular formation, and after walking through the center of the water, he could clearly see the enemy's water village.

The water village of Dongwu stretches out for more than ten miles, and the flat beachhead ferry in the rear is blocked tightly, and the left and right edges are connected with the protruding highlands. At a glance, the layout is rigorous and flawless. In the mist, you can faintly see that behind the wooden water fence, there are many water platforms, arranged with large trebuchets several meters high. Each platform was surrounded by ships, many of which were laden with huge rocks.

It is almost certain that Soochow will not fight on the water. Soochow wanted to use cannon-like trebuchets to cooperate with his warship Omi to block the Qin fleet. The Qin army was unable to land and send out the infantry, so naturally there was nothing left in Eastern Wu.

In the Middle Ages, water warfare was very simple, that is, hitting each other, shooting at each other, and finally colliding into each other. So, hundreds of years ago, in the 2nd century, it was roughly the same.

Qin Feng stood on the bow of the boat, the river breeze blew cool, and when he raised his eyes, he saw hundreds of small boats rushing out of the Dongwu Water Village. That is, it is a little wider than a dragon boat, extremely fast and very flexible. After these hundreds of small boats appeared, they immediately covered the water surface of the south of the Yangtze River and rushed towards Qin Feng's fleet at an extremely fast speed.

In the water war, there are naturally naval generals to dispatch it, and Qin Feng will never blindly command. He saw that Dongwu did not use the big ship, and said with a smile: "It seems that Zhou Yu really wants to defend it." ”

Before the words fell, on the left side of Qin Feng, the circular array led by Gan Ning suddenly increased its speed. An army burst out to meet the enemy's ships.

On the Soochow side, three hundred small boats sent out a cone formation. Han Dang and Huang Gai led ten small boats in front, followed by a row of thirty boats. There are forty ships in the back row, and they are staggered and arranged in order. This position is the most conducive to the speed and maneuverability of the ship. Of course, the technical requirements for the navy are also very high.

Huang Gai was at the bow of the ship, and he had already seen Gan Ning's flag, and when he was approaching, he raised his head and shouted angrily: "Traitor Gan Ning, dare to fight me to the death!" ”

Gan Ning, who was in silver armor, was also very angry, and he was on the flagship Xuzhou. Looking down and shouting: "Huang Gai, Sun Quan killed his brother and usurped the throne, as an old minister of Eastern Wu, you are blind and loyal to the thieves, and you dare to come to me!" ”

On the river, the Ganning flagship is like a beehive, and the warships of all sizes around it are constantly cruising around like bee soldiers. When they got close to the Soochow ships, they gave full play to the advantage of strong side firepower, and fired 10,000 crossbows with fire. Volley of Soochow ships. It is like a wheel, and each tooth turns over, and it is a thousand arrows at once. And because of the constant rotation, the Soochow ships reflected sharp arrows. It often shoots into the air.

At this time, Tai Shici's fleet came at high speed from the flank, wanting to cut the ship formation of Soochow into two sections.

"Rebellious Gan Ning, Tai Shi Ci. Train a water army for the Qin army! ”

Huang Gai and Han Dangzhi are luring the enemy deeper, and. Although the Qin warships were extremely combative, they were not without a way to fight back. They immediately ordered the fleet to retreat. At this time, the advantages of the Dongwu boat were brought into play, and the sailors who were responsible for rowing out only needed to row the oars in reverse, and the boat could quickly retreat.

As a result, although the Qin army was a large ship, it could not get close. The two sides fired at each other, but it was the warships of the Qin army, and there were fires in many places.

Qin Feng, the general flagship, was a little anxious.

Pang Tong on the side said: "The rockets fired by our army often fail due to the enemy's retreat. And the rockets fired by Soochow, our army is ...... It's going up. ”

Jia Xu said with relief: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, the two generals, Gan Ning and Tai Shici, know the essentials of water warfare ...... well. ”

Sure enough, green smoke rose from the Qin warship, and the fire had obviously been extinguished.

The two sides exchanged fires, and the Soochow ships retreated sharply for a mile.

Just when he was less than a mile away from the enemy's water village, I saw that on the flagship of Gan Ning, the capital of the Qin army, the flag was shaking, and all the big ships stopped. At this time, a hundred small boats with canopies came up in the rear, and the Qin army sent ten larger fighting ships, so they took these hundred small boats and continued to approach the enemy's water village.

On the Dongwu side, Zhou Yu in the attic sighed when he saw the Qin army ship stop.

Cheng Pu on the side said: "Dadu Governor, seeing that there are not too many soldiers in the enemy's boat, but the draft is very deep, it must have brought something to ignite the fire, and must not let them approach." ”

Since the Dongwu warship could not shrink, the small boat of the Qin army came down the water at a fast speed and could not be stopped. Zhou Yu had no choice but to order: "Order the trebuchet to reload the scattered bombs and sink these small boats!" ”

Han Dang, Huang Gai's fleet, after quickly retreating, pasted in front of the outer wall of the water village on this side.

At this time, in the Dongwu Water Village, the roar of the machine was heard all over the place.

This time, Qin Feng opened his eyes. After seeing a sound of the machine, in the water village of Dongwu, stones flew out to cover the sky and the sun. The big ones were as big as a washbasin, and the small ones were as big as two fists together. In an instant, a situation was formed that covered the sky and the sun, with shadows and roars, smashing into the Qin army's fleet all over the sky.

Ten fighting ships hurriedly retreated. The boat traveling at high speed was hit by a covering attack, and the stones that fell from the sky were the size of fists, and they were also full of power under the acceleration of gravity.

With a thud, the boats were either overturned, or smashed out of many holes, and soon sank.

Buzzing...... ...... a roar, another wave of boulders was thrown, the sun was obscured, and the waters below were suddenly dark. Tens of thousands of stones fell, and the darkness became heavier and heavier, until the top of Mount Tai was completely overpowered, and the entire water surface suddenly burst into waves no less than the explosion of cannonballs.

It was only two attacks, and the hundreds of small ships of the Qin army were all wiped out, and the bows of the two slow fighting ships that retreated were also smashed.

Qin Feng looked at the boundless and uncountable stones, and his heart sank. Seeing that these stones can cover the water surface for several miles, there are many trebuchets in the water village. These are just small stones, if they are replaced with boulders of more than 100 catties, and they are smashed down on such a large scale, even if they are battleships, I am afraid they will be sunk.

"Your Majesty, look, five of our fireships have rushed over!" Pang Tong exclaimed.

Qin Feng suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly looked, and sure enough, five small boats on his side crossed the Stonehenge, and successfully ignited the fire, crashing towards the gate of the water village. Who knew ......, Huang Gai and Han Dang, who were sticking to the wall of the water village at the beginning, immediately dispatched a boat to intercept them. And when the gate of Dongwu Water Village was opened, several big ships came out.

After three or two strokes, the small boat that the Qin army finally crossed the line of fire was stopped by the Dongwu warship and sunk.

In the Dongwu Water Village, when cheers erupted, the entire fleet of the Qin army retreated.

Qin Feng had already witnessed the terrifying Dongwu trebuchet formation, and although there were some places that could not be covered, only small boats could pass through. And Soochow also has a water army, which can easily mend the knife. If you want to penetrate the Dongwu Water Village and land, I am afraid it will be difficult to go to the blue sky.
