18. Battle of Yizhou

At night, Gongsun Yuan and Jiang Gan were drinking in the camp when they suddenly made a noise.

The sergeant came to report: "Young Master, there are people attacking the camp in the southwest, and two of our people have been killed and wounded, and the invasers have been repulsed." Whether to pursue or not, please make it clear to the young master. ”

Gongsun Yuan said: "How many people are there who have come to invade? ”

The sergeant said: "It is estimated that there are about a dozen people. ”

Gongsun Yuan said: "More than ten people come to harass, if I attack, I will definitely be tricked." On this night, I was unfamiliar with the place, and the other party did not know the reality and reality, so I attacked easily, and I was ambushed at the least, and the camp was robbed by the Wu army. How can such a small trick lead me into a trap? Orders were given to all sentry posts, and in case of small group harassment, the main thing was to repel them, and if a large group of enemy troops came to attack, they should shoot with bows and crossbows, and use static braking. The battalions focused on resting and preparing for tomorrow. ”

The sergeant also reported: "There is another small group of enemy troops in the southeast, and they have been shot back." ”

Gongsun Yuan sneered: "As expected. Tomorrow, more spies will be sent to inquire about it, search for the Wu army's garrison, and annihilate the Wu army in a decisive battle. Take Yizhou in one fell swoop. ”

At dawn, the Water Princess fleet is about to enter the sea gate.

A small boat approached.

Hua Yihua reported: "There is a Huang officer who has an urgent military situation to report to General Lu Wei. ”

The water princess glanced at Lu Wei, Lu Wei nodded, and the water princess said, "Please invite Colonel Huang." ”

A flower leads the yellow officer to see.

Colonel Huang said: "See Lu Garrison." ”

Lu Wei said: "This is the princess of Dongwu Shui, if you have any military information, just report it." ”

Huang Xiaoguan said: "See the princess." There is an urgent military situation report for the lowly position. Here's a report from General Singar's army. ”

Water chestnut took the military report and handed it to the water princess, and the water princess handed it to Lu Wei.

Lu Wei said: "Now that the princess has arrived, please give the princess full authority to dispatch." ”

After reading the report, the water princess said: "The military report said that there were five warships flying the Feiyan flag, which asked to enter the port, and then changed to hoisting the dragon and bird flag, broke into the port, looted, and is now stationed in the camp in the back mountain. In order to avoid the front, General Xin had concealed the defenders and harassed the enemy at night. General Lu, what do you think? ”

Lu Wei said: "Pirates sometimes appear at sea, but they enter the port to loot and camp in the mountains, this is the first time. The intention of its vain attempt to hold it for a long time is clearly revealed. ”

The water princess said: "First hang the Feiyan flag, when it is the Liaodong Yan soldiers, and then change the dragon bird flag, to hide its whereabouts, it is really like the so-called soldiers and bandits of the Governor of Lusu." Officer Huang, what is the number of offenders? ”

Officer Huang said: "There are five ships of prisoners, and there are four or five hundred people. Last night, General Xin set up an ambush and attacked the enemy camp with a small force. However, the enemy camp only resisted with random arrows, and did not fight. ”

The water princess said: "Sure enough, it is a military that has been trained for a long time, and it should not be underestimated, so it should be taken seriously." What does General Lu think? ”

Lu Wei said: "Listen to the princess's dispatch and command." ”

The water princess cheered up and said: "The enemy army is coming from five or six thousand miles away, it should be a lone brigade, and there is no backup. But the enemy army is an elite army of a hundred battles, and its ambition to capture Yizhou in one fell swoop is not small. Judging from the fact that the enemy and our forces are comparable, it is not appropriate to fight for a long time. It is necessary to completely annihilate the enemy forces in one fell swoop and fight a fierce battle before they can start deploying. ”

When the generals heard that there was going to be a big battle, they immediately lifted their spirits.

The water princess said: "When the enemy army first arrived, the camp was not stable, and its baggage and grain and grass must still be on the boat. The ship was the real camp of the enemy. Taking advantage of the fact that his troops are stationed in the back mountains and the camp is empty, attacking his fleet, his army will be chaotic, and our army can take advantage of the chaos to annihilate it. ”

Lu Wei said: "What the princess said is very suitable for the use of soldiers. Willing to lead the army to kill the enemy. ”

The water princess said: "Attack the enemy ship, and I will lead the team." General Lu can return to shore with Huang Xiaoguan's original ship and rendezvous with General Xinge. Inform General Xin that the ambush set up last night is in line with the art of war, and there is no need to withdraw it. General Lu and General Xin should immediately reinforce all our land forces and ambush the ambush troops, and prepare more bows and arrows. When our fleet attacks the enemy ships, the enemy forces in the rear mountains will inevitably withdraw their escorts with all their might. At this time, the two generals did not have to attack, but only shot arrows to kill the enemy. Expecting the enemy to return to defense, he did not dare to divide his troops and ambush the two generals, so he only cared about seizing the road. In this way, the ambush and arrows can injure one-tenth or two-dozen enemies. The two generals waited for the enemy's brigade to pass and pursued it, so that they could pick up two or three tenths of its remnants. The enemy troops are on board and leave, and there are only about five or six tenths of the strength left, and our fleet will try to annihilate them completely. ”

When Lu Wei heard this, his spirit lifted and said: "Princess, don't worry, Lu Weiding and General Xin have captured all the remnants of the enemy on the shore." Lu Wei took his leave. ”

The water princess added: "General Lu, in order to strengthen secrecy, you must explain to General Xin and eliminate the secret agents. Any foreigner found to be of unknown origin shall be temporarily detained. ”

Lu Wei replied, "Yes." Be sure to get rid of the spies! ”

Lu Wei led the Huang officer to hurry away.

The water princess ordered: "All ships are ready for battle, prepare more sulfur rockets, and enter the harbor at noon to kill the enemy." ”

The water princess pondered for a long time, suddenly felt anxious in her heart, got up and walked out of the cabin, stood on the side of the ship, and let the sea breeze blow.

Water chestnut followed the water princess and asked, "What else is the princess thinking?" ”

The water princess said: "I always feel that I have not prepared enough, as if something is missing." ”

Water chestnut said: "Yes, the Yan army is also a soldier and a bandit, which is different from the ordinary water army." ”

The water princess nodded and said, "Sister water chestnut said it well!" Yan Bing is not ordinary, different. Not usually just in it is bandits, they are good at grabbing boats and boarding ships, good at making flying hooks, good at climbing. What should we do with them? ”

Water chestnut said: "For the enemy of the flying hook and rope, the most important thing is not to let him get on the boat." This kind of enemy who climbs the boat, after getting on the boat, is a battle against the water, can only move forward, there is no way back, so it is a desperate fight, often can be one as ten, very fierce. And our army can only attack in groups, kill him, or force him to jump into the sea. ”

The water princess nodded and said, "Yes, for the enemy of the flying hook and rope, he must not be allowed to get on the boat." He had to cut the climbing rope as soon as he hooked upboard. We're going to have a hook and sickle ready, and we're going to have a shield to cover the hook and sickle. ”

Water chestnut said: "Yes! With a hook sickle. You can stab enemies forward, and cut ropes backwards. I'm going to pick out a team of hook and sickle gunners right away, and equip them with shieldmen for a combat drill. ”

The water princess nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you this time." ”

Water chestnut said: "Don't worry, princess." Discipline these pirate soldiers to become chickens in the soup one by one. ”

Water chestnuts train shield bearers with hook sickle on the deck of the ship's broadside.

The water chestnut shouted the password: "Cover!" ”

The Shieldbearer immediately shields the Hook Scythe with his shield.

The water chestnut shouted the password: "Forward stab!" ”

The hook scythe spurner stabbed under the board.

The water chestnut shouted the password: "Back hook!" ”

The Hook Scythe hook hooks back.

In the camp in the back mountain, Gongsun Yuan walked around impatiently.

Jiang Gan saw that Gongsun Yuan was uneasy, and asked, "Why is the young master upset?" ”

Gongsun Yuan said: "Isn't it strange that seven sets of detective posts were sent out today, but none of them were returned?" ”

A sergeant came to report: "Report-"

Jiang Gan said: "Where is the Wu army stationed, report quickly." ”

Gongsun Yuan also listened to the newspaper with his eyes wide open.

The sergeant said: "I am not a mountain camp scout, I am a sailor in the harbor." Report to the young master, a fleet of ships has entered the harbor and is heading for our fleet. ”

Gongsun Yuan was shocked: "Could it be that the reinforcements of Eastern Wu have arrived?" ”

Jiang Gan was also surprised: "How can it be so fast? ”

The two immediately left the camp to climb high and overlook, and saw a fleet sailing straight ahead.

Gongsun Yuan was shocked: "I have no soldiers and no generals in my ship, how can I resist the enemy?" Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Yizhou, he fell for the empty city plan of the Wu army. There must be capable people in the Soochow army! ”

Gongsun Yuan ordered loudly: "The whole army immediately abandons the camp and returns to the ship, the sooner the better, there must be no mistakes!" ”

All the soldiers surrounded Gongsun Yuan and rushed down the mountain.

The sergeants in the back just ran down the hill, ignoring the loss of their armor and no longer formed a formation.

Jiang Gan saw that the well-organized army had dispersed into a ragtag, so he had to stumble and flee.

There was a rain of arrows on the side of the road on the left, and the sergeant ran wildly regardless of the casualties.

Gongsun Yuan shook his head and said, "Sure enough, I fell into the ambush of Eastern Wu!" Lured our army commander to drive straight into the empty city, and then attacked at night with small armed feints, creating the illusion that the troops were weak, so that our army relaxed its vigilance against the fleet because it was victorious, and then took advantage of the emptiness of our fleet to carry out a surprise attack. It's terrible! This is an attempt to annihilate us 6,000 miles overseas in one fell swoop. ”

Li Shi hurriedly said: "Young master, go quickly!" Now it is still possible to rush back to the ship, and the encirclement of the Wu army has been completed, and it will be difficult to break through at that time. ”

Gongsun Yuan took a long breath and said, "Yes, you will be saved when you return to the boat." Fast! ”

Gongsun Yuan is young and strong, leading the way.

Lee followed closely.

A rain of arrows came out of the woods on the left, and the sergeant continued to run wildly, regardless of casualties.

The brigade of Yan soldiers rushed forward, and the ambush soldiers everywhere shouted and rushed out, and the sporadic Yan soldiers were either killed or wounded, and most of them surrendered.

Gongsun Yuan ran faster, and seemed to be in the lead.

Jiang Gan was old and weak, unable to run, and saw that the Yan soldiers had gone away, and there were unstoppable Wu soldiers everywhere in front and behind, and he was at a loss. Suddenly, Zhou An rushed over and secretly shouted: "It's not good! Zhou Tai is here. He knew me at the Heroes Meeting. ”

Jiang Gan plunged headlong into the reeds.

Zhou An (Zhou Tai's twin brother) pulled out Jiang Gan, who was pouting his ass outside.

Jiang Gan shivered.

Zhou Anzhao kicked his ass and said: "Useless old Xiucai." ”

Jiang Ganlian said: "It's a show, it's not a soldier, it's a show." ”

Jiang Gan plunged headlong into the reeds again.

The water princess mobilized before the battle on the deck: "Brothers, sisters, now the big war will begin." This is a battle to defend our homeland, what are we going to do? ”

The sergeants said: "Fight to the end, and annihilate all the enemies who come to attack." ”

The water princess said: "Yes! We will annihilate all the enemies who come to us. I want to beat him so that he doesn't dare to scream. We will not only fight bloodily, but we will also fight. We are big ships, and the enemy is small ships. How are we going to fight when we engage the enemy? ”

The sergeants said, "Condescendingly, shoot him with bows and arrows, and burn him with rockets." ”

The water princess said: "Yes, condescendingly, shoot with a bow and arrow, and burn with a rocket." The enemy is a pirate habitual bandit who is good at flying hooks and climbing ships, how are we going to fight? ”

The sergeants said: "Use the hook and sickle to hook and break the climbing rope." ”

The water princess said: "Yes, use a hook and sickle hook, and you have to work in pairs, one with a shield to cover, and the other with a hook and sickle hook." Two groups should work together to hook it and break it at once. What if a few habitual bandits climb onto the boat? ”

The sergeants said: "Attack in groups, and if you don't kill him, you will force him to jump into the sea." ”

The water princess said, "Good! Training troops for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while. Whether it's a hero or a hero depends on today. Now immediately prepare for battle, have enough rockets, prepare hook and sickle guns, and get ready. Fight this battle well, and we will have a stable home! ”

The water princess said to Hua Sanduo: "Shout to the dragon bird boat: surrender immediately, or you will be buried at the bottom of the sea!" ”
