Chapter 1606: Mortal Mission

More than 200 Zhou Yujun looked up at Zhou Yu on the high platform one by one.

Looking around at the naval soldiers present, Zhou Yu's tone became more and more solemn, and he said to them: "We will serve the imperial court and serve the imperial court." Sun Quan first launched a large army to crusade against us, but failed, and then launched a naval army to besiege Shuizhai. If Shuizhai is besieged, the imperial army will go south in the future, and it will inevitably confront the Jiangdong naval army for a long time. We had no strong reinforcements from outside, and sooner or later we were defeated by the Jiangdong Army. ”

The two hundred sailors on the school ground, facing the powerful Jiangdong navy outside the water village, had already felt the urgency of the form.

Zhou Yu's words made them feel even more confused about their future.

Looking up at Zhou Yu, the two hundred sailors all had solemn faces, waiting for Zhou Yu to say how they could save the entire army.

"As far as warships are concerned, our army is not as good as the enemy's warships. In terms of numbers, the number of our naval army is less than one hundred and one of the enemy's troops! Looking around at the two hundred sailors, Zhou Yu said to them: "However, we must rush out of the water village and attack the enemy!" ”

With the protection of the water village, the naval army under Zhou Yu can still confront the Jiangdong naval army.

Once they break out of the water village, the shelter that the water village can give them will be completely lost, and the entire Zhou Yu water army will be exposed to the sword of the Jiangdong water army.

A battle with no chance of winning at all!

Zhou Yu still proposed to take the initiative in front of more than 200 sailors, which made the hearts of the 200 sailors full of doubts.

"The navy and the enemy are in a head-to-head confrontation, and our army has no chance of winning at all!" Looking at the sailors who were about to accept the task, Zhou Yu shouted to them: "But we have a key to victory, and that is you wait!" ”

Hearing from Zhou Yu again that they would be the key to victory, the faces of the two hundred sailors showed solemnity one by one.

They vaguely felt that this was an extremely resolute and even a mission from which there was no return.

But the soldiers didn't choose, if they went, they would die, and if they didn't go, they would die!

followed Zhou Yu to serve the imperial court, and their net worth was all entrusted to Zhou Yu, if the military camp was really isolated from the imperial court by the Jiangdong Sun family, sooner or later this place would be breached.

Parents, wives and children will be in different places because of their choices!

These words, there is no need for Zhou Yu to say them, they also understand.

"The enemy army is strong, nothing more than a large number of ships!" Looking at the soldiers with a solemn face, Zhou Yu said to them: "Our navy will leave the water village and launch a fire attack on the enemy. You also know that the enemy's ships are dozens of times that of our army, and there are even more small boats. Once the enemy army catches up, our army's fire attack will be in vain! ”

The expressions on the faces of the two hundred sailors became more and more solemn.

They are all good at water, and they can swim back and forth like fish in the Yangtze River.

Summoning them must have been Zhou Yu's way of using their water to repel the enemy army.

As a navy, although they have such an awareness, they are only soldiers after all, and they don't know the specific arrangements of Zhou Yu and others, so they can only wait silently for Zhou Yu to inform them of the detailed tactics.

Looking down at the soldiers who were waiting for him to speak, Zhou Yu shouted to them: "Since the enemy's building ship is sitting in the army, we will think of a way to scuttle their building ship." Without the building boat, Xiaoge can't store food, and it can't support our army's arrows, and the Jiangdong Army will retreat! ”

Zhou Yu mentioned that he wanted to scuttle the ship, and the two hundred sailors were all stunned.

The two armies fought, and the small boats went back and forth, and the only route they could choose was under the surface of the Yangtze River.

One by one, they looked at each other, and the faces of the two hundred sailors showed hesitation.

They are, after all, people, not fish living in the water.

Although the water is good, they must float to the surface to breathe a breath of air when they swim a long distance.

If there are too many small boats, they can't surface, or they do so, but they are discovered by the enemy on the water, and what awaits them will be corpses at the bottom of the river!

Seeing the entanglement on the faces of the soldiers, Zhou Yu hugged his fists, saluted them deeply, and said to them: "If this is not the case, our army will have no reason to win, and Shuizhai will be trapped for a long time." The soldiers on land are not able to understand the water, and our army has few warships, so we can only let the mermaids eat. General Ben hereby pleads with you! ”

Zhou Yu saluted them, and the soldiers on the school field dared to take it, they all knelt on the ground with their legs bent, raised their fists and raised their faces to him, and said: "Don't worry, general, even if we die, we will scuttle the enemy's ship!" ”

"Show the soldiers the wine!" The two hundred sailors responded to the task, Zhou Yu first raised his hand to let them get up, and then gave an order to the soldiers behind him.

The soldiers turned around and left, and after a while, they returned with a few soldiers holding wine jars and pottery bowls.

The soldiers with the bowls distributed the bowls to the two hundred sailors who were about to undergo a near-mortal mission, and those with the wine filled their bowls with fine wine.

The bowls of the soldiers were filled with wine, and several pro-soldiers jumped on the high platform and presented clay bowls full of wine syrup to Zhou Yu and others.

Holding the wine with Zhao Yun and Sima Yi in both hands, Zhou Yu shouted to the two hundred sailors on the school field: "Soldiers, this general doesn't say much, drink this bowl full, and wait for you to do a great trip!" ”

The two hundred sailors also picked up the wine bowl and looked up at Zhou Yu and the others.

"!" With a shout, Zhou Yu brought the wine bowl to his lips and drank all the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and then held the bowl and turned the bowl face down, showing the soldiers that he had drunk the wine.

"!" The two hundred sailors also let out a shout in unison, and drank all the wine in the bowl.

Zhao Yun and Sima Yi, who were standing next to Zhou Yu, of course, would not leave half a drop of wine in the bowl.

Violently slammed the bowl to the ground, and at the same time that the pottery bowl made a crisp sound and fell into pieces, Zhou Yu hugged his fists and shouted to the sailors: "This general is waiting for you in the camp and waiting for triumph!" ”

After Zhao Yun and Sima Yi also smashed the wine bowl, two hundred Jiangdong sailors made the same move.

The pottery bowl fell to the ground with a crisp cracking sound.

Two hundred Jiangdong sailors clasped their fists, and the leader shouted to Zhou Yu on the stage: "I will say goodbye today, or there will be no return!" Rest assured, general, even if we die, we will destroy the enemy ship! ”

"Even if you die, you will destroy the enemy ship!" The two hundred sailors, after the voice of the leading sailor fell, all shouted in unison.

At this moment, Zhou Yu's eye sockets were faintly filled with tears.

The two hundred sailors and soldiers all knew that once they set out, they might never come back alive.

But they still chose to accept the mission and participate in this suicidal battle!

There is no need to say more, and there is no need to repeat too much about them.

Holding his fists, Zhou Yu once again gave a deep salute to the two hundred sailors in front of him.

In the water village, piles of dead grass are loaded on small boats, and some soldiers are pouring tung oil on the dry grass.

On the river not very far from the water village, the Jiangdong Navy also made preparations, and unconsciously, the building boat was already far away from the water village, and the place towards the water village was more of the Jiangdong water army.

The Jiangdong Navy on the small boat, holding the blade in his hand, looked at the direction of the water village vigilantly.

They had been ordered that Zhou Yu's army would attack them in the near future, and this attack would most likely cause a raging fire on the river.

Lu Xun did not hide from the soldiers what he expected.

In the order conveyed, he also described in detail the deployment he expected Zhou Yu to make.

Across the high wall of the water village, most of the Jiangdong army could not see what Zhou Yu's water army was doing, but some Jiangdong troops could see from the gap between the high walls of the water village that Zhou Yu's water army was busy watering something on the boat piled up with dead grass.

The qiē seen has confirmed Lu Xun's guess.

What the officers and men of the Jiangdong Army were waiting for, only Zhou Yu's naval army launched a full-scale attack on them!

In the secret place in the water village, two hundred shirtless sailors, who only covered the vital points with a white cloth around their waists, each holding an iron spine and a hammer in their hands, were waiting for orders.

"The order hasn't been given yet, waiting like this is really frustrating!" A young sailor poked the ground with an awl, poking small holes in the ground, and whining to another sailor next to him?

"Are you scared or are you in a hurry to die?" Another sailor squatted on the shore, picked up the river and splashed it on his body, soaking his skin, and said to the whining sailor: "With these strengths, you might as well think about how you will die!" ”

The whining sailor continued to poke the ground with an awl, and said to the sailor who splashed the water on him: "Even if you die, it is better than waiting here." I died earlier, but I was less troubled earlier! ”

"The general has an order!" While the two were talking, one of Zhou Yu's own soldiers ran to the two hundred sailors waiting for the order, and shouted to them: "You are waiting for the order, you must not attack rashly!" When our army fights with the enemy, the general will give the order! ”

The two hundred sailors all turned their heads to look at the soldiers who were delivering the order.

Some of them even felt that the orders conveyed by their own soldiers were a bit redundant.

Since they weren't allowed to go, they just waited, and no one would force them to leave the water village, and they wouldn't be stupid enough to go into battle without an order!

The grumbling sailor raised his head and looked at the small boats that were piled up with hay on the river.

There are fifty small boats stacked with hay, to say the least.

These small boats are almost half of the strength of Zhou Yu's naval army, and with such a deployment, it can be seen that Zhou Yu has decided to break the cauldron in this battle.

The hay rafts were poured with a lot of tung oil by the sailors, and with just a little spark, they would quickly burn and become a fireball running on the water.

"The military order has arrived!" The hay on the small boat was ready, and another Zhou Yu ran to the shore quickly, shouting to the sailors on the river: "The general has an order, the small boat will go to battle immediately, and the archers in the village will escort it with arrows!" Big boiling water village, attack! ”
