Chapter 1529: Breaking the City Only at Dawn
The assassin was killed by a nameless person, outside the military camp of Zhou Yu, who had been calm for a long time.
Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, and Sima Yi stood side by side on the bank of the river, looking at the big ships that were gradually moving away on the river.
Da Qiao led Sun Zhao to stand at the bow of the boat, and also looked at Zhao Yun and the others on the bank of the river.
Finally left.
gave her countless honors, let her enjoy the honor of the world, but finally gave her endless humiliation, and she finally left.
"Madam, it's tight here, so let's go back to the cabin and rest for a while." The maid standing behind Da Qiao saw her standing on the bow of the boat for a long time, and whispered a reminder.
"I'm about to leave, so let's let our mother and son take a look at Jiangdong more." didn't look back, his eyes were still on the river bank that was gradually moving away, Da Qiao said faintly: "This time, I don't know if there is a chance to return here in this life." β
When Da Qiao said this, the maid lowered her head and said nothing.
Gone!
Although Da Qiao's hometown is in Qianshan in Jiangbei, Jiangdong is her husband's home, and it is also a place that has given her countless memories.
Leaning back to the cabin, looking at the backs of Da Qiao's mother and son from afar, the nameless face was indifferent.
"General, it won't be long before the ship is reliably on the north shore." A nameless Han soldier strode up to him, clasped his fists and bowed to him and asked, "Do you want to explore the way in front of people first?" β
"Send two men to find the way ahead." His gaze still stayed βon Da Qiao's mother and son, and he gave a faint order to the soldier namelessly.
With that, the soldier turned and left.
Looking at the namelessness of the back of Da Qiao's mother and son, it took a while to walk to the side of the ship.
The Yangtze River stretches for thousands of miles, running through the entire land south of the Yangtze River from the southwest to the sea.
There are countless heroes and heroes born here, but it can't accommodate Da Qiao's mother and son!
Looking at the lonely back of Da Qiao's mother and son, Nameless also felt empty in his heart.
This feeling made him very unhappy!
Back then, he killed countless people in the sword world, and he never felt like this.
Even if a swordsman killed innocent civilians and was hunted down by him, he did not have the slightest mercy for those civilians who were killed.
What he has, but it's just the way of heaven!
Do the right thing for heaven!
After serving Liu Wei, Nameless felt that he had changed!
No longer as indifferent as in the past, no longer like in the past, indifferent to anything, indifferent to a qiΔ!
There are too many things for him to care about, and there are too many things for him to carry.
Although people's hearts are full, they are also more tired!
The big boat moved slowly on the river, the bow of the boat broke the river, stirring up a splash, and the river made a "whooshing" sound under the boat.
Looking at the Yangtze River with no end in sight, the nameless eyes narrowed slightly, and an indescribable emotion flashed in his eyes.
On the bank of the river, looking at the big ship that was gradually moving away, a Jiangdong soldier ran behind Zhou Yu, hugged his fists and said to him: "General Qiyu, visit the Malai report, Jianye is preparing soldiers and horses, as if there are useful soldiers in recent days." β
"Huh?" After listening to the soldier's report, Zhou Yu glanced back at him, his face suddenly showed a touch of vigilance, and asked the soldier: "Have you found out clearly, who is the leader of the army?" β
"Investigate clearly, the main general is Ling Cao!" Keeping his hands in a fist-clenched posture, the soldier said: "Deputy General Ling Tong, there are 50,000 soldiers and horses, but I don't know where I want to go!" β
"General!" After waving his hand to the soldiers and asking him to retreat, Sima Yi whispered to Zhou Yu: "Jianye uses soldiers, I'm afraid the purpose is the general!" β
Nodding, Zhou Yu looked solemn, and said to Sima Yi and Zhao Yun: "I heard that His Majesty in Luoyang City has arrested many Jiangdong spies, and Lu Su and Lu Meng are also under house arrest in Luoyang. Sun Quan was nothing more than worried that once the army went south, with us guarding here, the Yangtze River natural danger would be useless. It is not impossible to send troops to attack! β
"The two generals, did Your Majesty say that when will the army cross the river?" Having said this, Zhou Yu turned his head and asked Zhao Yun and Sima Yi.
After glancing at each other with Zhao Yun, Sima Yi clasped his fists and arched towards Zhou Yu and said, "The army is fighting in the south and the north, and the soldiers are tired, and they still need to rest for some time before they can go south." The last general thinks that if the Sun family comes this time, only we must be able to mediate with him! β
"There are more than 10,000 soldiers under a certain command, 5,000 forest guards under the command of General Zhao, no more than 100 dragon riders, and Sun Quan's troops are 50,000." His brows furrowed slightly, and Zhou Yu said with some concern: "The difference in strength between the two sides is too great, I'm afraid this battle will be a hard battle!" β
Zhao Yun and Sima Yi were silent.
Although Yu Linwei's combat power is strong in the entire Han army.
But the number of opponents is really too much, once the fight starts, even if it is Yu Linwei, there is no certainty of victory.
The two of them didn't say anything, and Zhou Yu asked them again: "Two generals, do you have a strategy to break the enemy?" β
When Zhou Yu asked about the strategy of breaking the enemy, Sima Yi looked at Zhao Yun and said: "If the soldiers and horses of the Sun clan really come to attack, please ask General Zhao to be the vanguard and lead the army to intercept and kill halfway!" β
Nodding, Zhao Yun was speechless.
In terms of official position, Sima Yi is lower than his official position, and the time to serve Liu Wei is much shorter than him.
However, Zhao Yun is not Lu Bu and others, and when he gets along with Sima Yi, he will at least not use his official position to suppress the other party.
After all, Liu Wei asked him and Sima Yi to come here, and secretly had the intention of having Sima Yi give advice and lead the army to fight.
As a military general, it is also Zhao Yun's duty to go into battle to kill the enemy, and he will not say anything that does not obey Sima Yi's arrangement.
"General Zhao, lead the army to fight the enemy, remember that you can only be defeated!" Zhao Yun nodded in response, and Sima Yi continued: "Lead the enemy army to the nearest place, and our army will fight a decisive battle with it!" β
"Why is that?" Sima Yi wanted Zhao Yun to only be defeated but not to win, but Zhao Yun was very puzzled in his heart, and he asked him with a frown.
"The enemy army is coming from afar, the morale is like a rainbow, and our army is small, if we forcibly fight with it, the victory or defeat is still unpredictable." Zhao Yun was full of doubts, and Sima Yi explained to him: "The general led the enemy all the way to come, our army did not set up an ambush in the middle of the road, the enemy army arrived here, the soldiers were proud, and our army would cover up and kill again, and it would be able to defeat in one battle!" β
Sima Yi's words made Zhao Yun frown, and he still couldn't understand the reason for a while.
Zhou Yu on the side smiled slightly and said: "General Sima really uses his troops like a god, in this way, when the enemy army arrives here, our army only needs to attack and kill while their foothold is not stable, and the enemy can be broken in one battle!" β
Zhou Yu and Sima Yi both thought that this strategy was feasible, and Zhao Yun was also inconvenient to say anything, so he nodded and said, "In this way, so-and-so will lead the army to lure the enemy!" β
Jiangdong soldiers and horses have not yet made the trip, Zhou Yu and others have been ready to deal with it, outside Fancheng City, the Jingzhou army piled up firewood at the foot of the city wall every day, and within a day, the firewood at the foot of the city wall is piled up, even if people rush up along the firewood, they can also jump on the city wall.
Liu Bei at the head of the city saw that the firewood under the city was piling up more and more, but there was no other way than to prepare more water on the city.
Standing in front of the big array, looking at the city wall where firewood was piled up, a smile appeared on the corner of Pang Tong's mouth, he raised his hand and pointed to the city wall, and said to Lu Bu beside him: "General Lu, the firewood outside the city is already piled up, and our army should be able to set fire!" β
Looking in the direction of Pang Tong's finger, a smile also appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, and he said to him: "Prime Minister thinks, when will our army set fire properly?" β
"Tonight, when the Jingzhou army stacks firewood again, we will send a small number of soldiers and horses to put a fire under the city!" Turning his head to look at Lu Bu, Pang Tong said: "The city will be broken at dawn tomorrow!" β
Looking at Fan Cheng, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth.
It was also some time when he came to Fancheng, and what he was waiting for was Pang Tong to say that the day of breaking the city had come.
Break through Fancheng, you can capture Liu Bei and avenge the stabbing in the back by him!
At the head of Fancheng City, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang stood side by side, and on the city wall behind them, there were wooden barrels filled with water.
The barrels were connected to each other, and all the barrels were poured down, and the water on the top of the city would surely reach the feet of men.
There is so much water in the city, but Zhuge Liang still has to keep carrying water from the city.
There are more and more firewood piled up at the foot of the city wall, and there is also tung oil poured by Liu Beijun's soldiers earlier, once it burns, even if it is splashed with water, it is impossible to extinguish the fire quickly.
Using clean water to cool down the city wall is the only option he can choose at the moment.
"Military advisor, the firewood outside the city is already piled up, but the enemy army is still transporting it all day long, they really want to burn Fancheng into a fire city." Looking at the Han army and the Jingzhou army outside the city, Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang with an entangled face: "If we remove the city wall, I am afraid that Fancheng will be difficult to protect!" β
Zhuge Liang didn't say anything.
Earlier, he asked Liu Bei to let people throw firewood under the city, just to light firewood when the Han army and the Jingzhou army attacked the city, causing a lot of trouble to the enemy.
But now it seems that the enemy is not troubled, but what is really troubled is Liu Beijun stationed in the city.
Zhuge Liang's silence made Liu Bei even more uneasy in his heart.
Of the two armies outside the city, the one who led the Han army was Lu Bu, who he had a sword again, and the one who led the Jingzhou army here was Zhang Yun, who was repelled by him and almost lost his life.
These two people hate him to the core, once the city is broken, no matter what he says, it is impossible for these two people to leave him with his life.
Whether he can hold Fancheng or not is not only about whether he can achieve a great cause in the future, but also about his net worth.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are not there, and there are no fierce generals under their command, this time, if they are defeated again, it is not as simple as giving up their family to escape!
"Tell the soldiers, if the enemy arsons, immediately pour water on the city!" Staring out of the city, after a long time, Zhuge Liang opened his mouth and ordered the soldiers behind him: "If you can't extinguish the fire, pour water on the city!" Be sure to make the city full of water, don't let the soldiers burn their feet! β
