Chapter 1604: Fire Meter Chain
The Jiangdong Army launched a wave of attacks, and then entered the rearmament, and for a whole day, no second wave of attacks was launched.
The sun gradually turned west, and when the sun turned orange and red, dyeing the river with a bloody color, the Jiangdong Army's ship array rose up like a long dragon's cooking smoke.
The Jiangdong Navy made a fire on the boat to make food, and Zhou Yujun's sailors also lit a bonfire after a while.
On the shore, streaks of cooking smoke snaked up, hovering in the sky like a giant dragon, and even the wind blew, but it could not blow away the pillars of smoke immediately.
On the big boat in the heart of the river, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Xun's mouth looking at the shore.
Huang Gai, who was standing with him, found his weird smile, and was very puzzled in his heart, but it was difficult to ask.
Lu Xun was too scheming, at a young age, he was able to play Liu Qi in the palm of his hand, and while crusading against Zhou Yu's army, he captured Jiangxia, an important port in Jingzhou!
Following such a metropolitan governor on the expedition, Huang Gai really didn't dare to despise him because he was too young.
"Old general, how do you think Zhou Yu will choose!" Raising his hand to the shore, Lu Xun smiled and asked Huang Gai.
Clenched his fists and bowed to Lu Xun, Huang Gai said with a confused face: "Most of the governors are wise and wise, and the last general has not yet figured out what the deep meaning is!" ”
With a smile on his face, Lu Xun said to Huang Gai: "The number of Zhou Yu's sailors is scarce, there are only two ships in the building, and there are no more than 100 small boats. Once our army's building ships are raided, the water village will definitely not be protected. In the old general's opinion, Zhou Yu will go out of the village to attack our army? ”
"The Metropolitan Governor also said that Zhou Yu's navy is scarce, and he won't come out of the village to fight!" Shaking his head, Huang Gai frowned tightly and said, "If you go out of the village, won't you kill yourself?" ”
"What if he attacks?" With an indifferent smile on his face, Lu Xun said: "Our army's building ships are close, and the small boats are even more lined up between the building ships. ”
"Zhou Yu will come, and will definitely come!" Turning around, facing the river bank, Lu Xun's eyes narrowed slightly, and said to Huang Gai: "The old general is tired to prepare, order the small boats to disperse, once the enemy army leaves the water village, immediately meet it, and be sure to block the enemy army in the middle of the road!" ”
"No!" Lu Xun calculated that Zhou Yu would order the navy to leave the village, although Huang Gai still didn't believe it, he didn't ask much, and answered and conveyed the order.
Lu Xun made arrangements, and Zhou Yu and others on the shore were also discussing countermeasures in the barracks.
The Jiangdong naval army suddenly attacked, the gap between the military strength of the two sides was huge, and the enemy army was outside the water village, and Zhou Yu's naval army had no possibility of winning at all.
Sitting in the barracks, Zhou Yu's brows were tightly wrinkled, and he was speechless for a long time.
Zhao Yun, who has always been not afraid of fighting, also had a cold face and did not say anything.
Let him lead the army to fight with the enemy on land, he won't pay attention to it at all, but the enemy army is a naval army after all, and Yu Linwei, who doesn't understand the nature of water, boards the ship, and under the shaking of the warship, even if the martial arts are superior to the enemy army, he can't get any benefits in the fight.
The three guards of the Han army are extremely important in Liu Wei's eyes, and every time they fight, the three guards have casualties, and Liu Wei will be depressed for a long time.
Of course, Zhao Yun would not rashly use Yulinwei in order to attack the Jiangdong Naval Army.
Zhou Yu and Sima Yi, who knew this relationship well, could not have thought of letting Yu Linwei fight a water war, and the only thing they could use in their hands was the naval army under Zhou Yu.
"The Jiangdong Army blocked the water village, if our army does not break the siege, the water village will be useless in the future!" After being silent for a long time, Zhou Yu said to Sima Yi and Zhao Yun: "If you have a plan, you can break the enemy!" ”
"The general is talking about fire attack?" As soon as Zhou Yu's words came out, Sima Yi shook his head and said: "The warships of the Jiangdong Navy are far away, and if they are attacked, it will be difficult to burn them into pieces. ”
What Sima Yi said was also something that Zhou Yu considered but could not solve.
But right now, for the Jiangdong Navy, there is only this one way he can think of.
"I have to think of a way to get the Jiangdong Army warships closer!" With frowns, Zhou Yu said: "The Jiangdong general who led the army here should not be a layman. I'm afraid it's hard to deceive the past! ”
Taking a deep breath, Sima Yi's face also showed an entanglement, and he hesitated for a moment before saying to Zhou Yu: "General, if you want the warships of the Jiangdong Army to get closer, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make the trip!" Our army is not out of the water village, and it is impossible to repel the enemy army, and now our army is in a dilemma! ”
The shape is very unfavorable to Zhou Yujun, and even Zhao Yun has seen the clues, and Zhou Yu and Sima Yi can certainly analyze the key.
What they are entangled with is not that they have no strategy to deal with the Jiangdong Army, but that they have a strategy, but it is difficult to make the trip!
The occupants of the room fell silent again.
After a long time, Sima Yi looked up at Zhou Yu and asked with some hesitation: "General, if our army is attacked, the Jiangdong Army must be aware of it." If they meet us with small boats and intercept our army in the middle of the road, the fire attack will be useless......"
"What if the fire attack is combined with the scuttling of the ship?" Before Sima Yi finished speaking, Zhou Yu's eyes lit up and he asked him.
Asked by Zhou Yu like this, Sima Yi suddenly clapped the case and shouted: "The general's clever plan!" When our army went out of the village, the Jiangdong army only noticed the fire attack, and then found some soldiers who were proficient in water, secretly lurked under the enemy's building ship, and scuttled the enemy's building ship. When the building ship enters the water, the enemy army must be withdrawn even if it is withdrawn, and it must be withdrawn if it is not withdrawn! ”
Between the words of the two, it was an instant, and Zhao Yun, who was sitting in the same room with them, showed confusion on his face.
The fire attack can make the Jiangdong army chaotic, Zhao Yun is convinced of this, but what is the reason for the ship?
But he couldn't figure it out.
After all, people are not fish, no matter how good the water is, it is impossible to breathe without showing their heads in the water.
Once it shows up, the Jiangdong Army will definitely find out immediately......
"What does General Zhao think?" Looking at Zhao Yun, Zhou Yu, who had already made a decision, asked him.
Twisting his brows, Zhao Yun said with a contemplative expression: "The soldiers who are familiar with water have entered the water and want to float to the surface to breathe, how can the Jiangdong Army not find out?" ”
"It's easy to solve!" Waving his hand at Zhao Yun, Zhou Yu said to him: "Our army is out of the water village, and the Jiangdong Army will definitely come to meet the battle, and the two sides will fight on the river, shouting to kill the sky." The enemy only watched our troops set fires, and how would they know that some soldiers had sneaked under their ships? Even the sound of the soldiers digging the boat will probably be muffled! ”
Zhou Yu's explanation made Zhao Yun suddenly open his mouth, his eyes suddenly opened, and he said to him: "The general's plan is very good, if it works, then the Jiangdong Army will retreat!" ”
Even Zhao Yun had some confidence in this matter, where would Zhou Yu and Sima Yi hesitate, Zhou Yu shouted outside the house: "; Come! ”
A personal soldier guarding the door heard the shout, strode in, clasped his fists and bowed to the servants respectively, and finally faced Zhou Yu and kept a saluting posture and waited for the order.
"Quickly go to the water barracks and choose two hundred proficient water-based soldiers!" gave an order to the soldier, Zhou Yu didn't say much, waved his hand at him and said, "I want them to go to the school field and wait!" ”
"No!" In response, the soldiers turned and left.
Seeing the soldiers walking out of the room, Zhou Yu stood up and said to Sima Yi and Zhao Yun: "Two generals, please go to the school with one and talk to those soldiers who are familiar with water!" ”
"Obey the general's orders!" Sima Yi and Zhao Yun stood up, clasped their fists in unison, and walked out of the barracks behind Zhou Yu.
The water village is not very close to the school field, and it will not take long for Zhou Yu's coach barracks to arrive at the school field.
The servants arrived at the school field surrounded by a group of pro-soldiers, and the two hundred sailors who were selected had not yet arrived.
After waiting for a while on the school grounds, they saw a pro-soldier leading a group of sailors towards them.
The two hundred sailors who followed behind their own soldiers also saw them from afar, because they didn't know what kind of order Zhou Yu was going to give, and there were enemy troops outside the water village, and when they walked to the school field, their hearts were also full of apprehension.
Looking at the two hundred sailors who followed the soldiers to the school field, a light smile gradually appeared on the corner of Zhou Yu's mouth.
Zhao Yun and Sima Yi, who were standing behind Zhou Yu, had no expression.
The Han army went south, the time will not be long, and the survival of the water village is directly related to the difficulty of the Han army crossing the river.
Outside the water village, there were warships of the Jiangdong Army everywhere, and the Jingzhou Navy across the Yangtze River from them was difficult to mobilize due to local turmoil, and they were unable to help.
One qiē can only rely on themselves.
The two hundred sailors who are familiar with the nature of the water, although it is possible to change the situation of the battle, are not foolproof.
In the current situation, no one can be relaxed.
Leading the two hundred sailors to approach the high platform of the school field, and when they arrived at a place where there were still twenty or thirty steps away from the high platform, the soldiers motioned to those sailors to line up under the high platform, and he himself sped up, trotted to the bottom of the high platform, and bowed to Zhou Yu and the others with his fists and said: "General Qiyu, the navy army that is familiar with water has already arrived!" ”
Waving his hand at the pro-soldier, Zhou Yu didn't say anything to him, and turned his gaze to the sailors lined up under the high platform.
The fighting in the daytime may have made the sailors lose confidence in this battle, looking at the three people on the high platform, the sailors looked with unconcealed busyness.
"Soldiers, you are all warriors who grew up on the banks of the Yangtze River!" With his left hand pressed on the hilt of his sword, Zhou Yu looked around at the two hundred sailors and shouted to them: "This general wants you to wait to come today, but there is a way to repel the Jiangdong navy, you have to wait to do it!" ”
The Jiangdong Navy outside the Water Village was in the sky, and there was almost no end in sight from the Water Village, and the Water Army who couldn't feel the hope of defeating them at all looked at each other one by one, all of them didn't understand what Zhou Yu's plan was.
"The Jiangdong army has a large number of people, and if you want to defeat them, you must use ingenuity, and you and others are the key to the strategy!" Not to boost morale, Zhou Yu said to the two hundred sailors present: "The life of the whole army, this general is going to be handed over to you and others!" ”
