Chapter 48: Give you a chance to escape
Jiang Wei was not surprised when he heard this military situation, but he also looked nervous.
He had long expected that Dongwu might attack Jiaozhi by sea, but when Dongwu really chose such an offensive method, he was still a little nervous, because there was no army stationed in Jiaozhi City today.
In this battle, almost all of the elite main forces of Shu Han gathered in the city of Guangzhou, including the 14,000 troops who followed Jiang Wei to the sea, including the 10,000 barbarian warriors carefully selected by Hua Wei; In addition, there were 5,000 Wudang Flying Army under Zhang Xue and 1,000 Han troops who followed the sailor to transport grain.
There are more than 20,000 elite troops in the entire city of Guangzhou. On the Jiaozhi side, Guan Suo's army was far away in Rinan County, and there were only 10,000 barbarians under the command of Liang Xu in Jiaozhi City, and they were almost all of them.
If Zhuge Ke of Eastern Wu really led 30,000 elites to attack, I am afraid that Liang Xu would not be able to hold it.
Jiang Wei hurriedly found Yutu and asked Guan Yinping, "Sister Yin, when did you learn about this information?" ”
Guan Yinping hurriedly said: "I was taken by Ganxin all the way to Jianye, the capital of Eastern Wu, in Jianye got this information, along the way I have been waiting for an opportunity to escape, but there is no chance at sea at all, the day before yesterday when the fleet sailed to Jian'an County, docking for supplies, I found a chance to escape, all the way to two days and two nights, before returning to Guangzhou." ”
Jiang Wei heard that Guan Yinping had rushed for two days and two nights for an intelligence, and he was suddenly a little distressed, and said to Guan Yinping: "Sister Yin, you have worked hard, look at your appearance, you have lost weight!" ”
Guan Yinping didn't care, and hurriedly said: "Brother Boyo, quickly send troops to rescue Jiaozhi!" Soochow dispatched a large-scale naval division this time, there were 30 ships alone, 300 warships, more than 3,000 sailors, and 30,000 vanguard troops. ”
When Jiang Wei heard this, he frowned and glanced at the map, thought for a while, and said, "Yinmei, the sailor of Eastern Wu, are you still marching at night?" “
Guan Yinping thought for a while and said: "The sailors basically sail along the coast, unless it is a starry night with a cloudless sight and excellent sight, and the direction can be judged by the stars, otherwise they are basically not in the army at night." ”
Jiang Wei thought that the weather in Guangzhou was excellent last night, and the starry sky was clear, so he asked: "How is the weather in Jian'an in the past two days?" ”
Guan Yinping replied: "It's basically cloudy, and there is occasional drizzle!" Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten this dirt all over my body. ”
Jiang Wei thought for a while and said: "Yinmei, you rushed back to Jiaozhou by land in the starry night, and Zhuge Ke has been limited by the weather these days, I conclude that he will not march at night, so Zhuge Ke's army may not be as fast as you when it comes by water, so at this moment, the sailors of Dongwu should not have passed through Guangzhou." ”
Zhuge Ke heard Jiang Wei say this, and hurriedly asked:
"Brother Boyo, what do you mean by that? Do you want to use Guangzhou, a broken sailor, to intercept the army of sailors in Soochow? I once heard my father say that my cousin Zhuge Ke is known as a prodigy in Soochow, but he is a very talented genius! Our sailors simply can't defeat the Soochow sailors. ”
Jiang Wei said with a firm face: "The sailors of Dongwu must be intercepted, otherwise once the sailors of Dongwu attack Jiaozhi and Jiaozhi is lost, then our situation will be precarious, and the entire Jiaozhou may also be gained and lost, so even if you take the risk, you must give it a try!" ”
Zhuge Zhan felt that Jiang Wei was simply talking about a dream, and said: "Brother Boyo, we only have eight building ships left, three of which are being repaired, only five can go to sea to fight, and only more than 60 warships can go to sea to fight, and the Dongwu Navy Division is several times larger than our army, this battle is tantamount to death!" ”
Jiang Wei smiled strangely at Zhuge Zhan, patted Zhuge Zhan's shoulder and said: "Little Zhuge , I have my own way to break the enemy, you only need to lead the sailor to go to sea with me and find the sailor of Dongwu, and I will definitely be able to intercept the army of Dongwu at that time." It depends on whether you have the courage to go to sea with me? ”
Zhuge Zhan was at the age of blood and strength, so he quickly puffed up his chest and said to Jiang Wei: "When did I, Zhuge Zhan, be afraid, didn't I just go to sea to fight to outnumber the people?" Can't ask for it! ”
Guan Yinping also said that he was going, but this time Jiang Wei was no longer used to Guan Yinping, after all, Guan Yinping had not closed his eyes for two days and two nights, so he said to Guan Yinping: "Sister Yin, this time you listen to me, stay in Guangzhou, sleep beautifully, and when you wake up, I will definitely return victorious!" ”
Guan Yinping saw that Jiang Wei's attitude was very resolute, and he was afraid of causing trouble for Jiang Wei again, so he had to nod and agree.
Soon, the troops of Guangzhou City began to assemble, Jiang Wei ordered Hua Hu and Zhang Xue to lead the army to defend the city, and he took Zhuge Zhan and Pan Ping, selected a thousand elites, boarded the naval warship, and went to sea to fight.
The sailors of Shu Han quickly sailed out of the bay, and Pan Ping said that the sailors would generally sail along a fixed sea route, and the distance from the coastline would often not exceed ten miles, so the sailors of the Eastern Wu army would definitely pass through this bay, and the sailors of the Shu army only needed to wait for work in the area of Guangzhou Bay, and there was a high probability that they could meet the sailors of the Eastern Wu.
Sure enough, as Pan Ping expected, in the afternoon, there were warships sent out to scout to report, and the fleet of Eastern Wu was soon sailing through the bay, less than ten miles away from the Shu army's naval division.
Jiang Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, what he was most afraid of was the vast sea, and he couldn't find the sailor of Dongwu at all, but now that he had finally found it, he was not afraid, so he held the Qinglong Baoyu in his hand tightly, and looked at the front with a firm gaze.
It didn't take long for a white dot to emerge on the sea, as the white dot became bigger and bigger, gradually connecting the city with a line, you could see a lot of big sails in the distance, the canvas was painted with the word "Wu", only to see the sails of the Dongwu sailors such as a forest, and the flag was waving.
As the sailors of Dongwu got closer and closer, Jiang Wei saw thirty huge building ships, ten in a group, arranged vertically and horizontally, and suddenly there were many warships on the sea level, surging forward. Many warships were interspersed between the ships in an orderly manner, forming a kind of overwhelming momentum, rolling towards the bay.
When Zhuge Zhan saw the huge fleet of Eastern Wu, he immediately gasped. Pan Ping was also frustrated, feeling that there was no possibility of winning this battle.
Zhuge Zhan hurriedly said to Jiang Wei: "Brother Boyo, the enemy is powerful, why don't you give me the Xuanwu Baoyu to use again, I may be able to use the Xuanwu Baoyu to repel the strong enemy." ”
Jiang Wei shook his head and said, "Little Zhuge don't want to die?" The last time you used the Xuanwu Baoyu, but after a coma for a day and a night before waking up, it can be seen that this thing is too draining energy, I will definitely not dare to let you use it again, in case there is a good one, how can I be worthy of the spirit of the teacher in the sky? ”
Seeing that Jiang Wei didn't agree, Zhuge Zhan suddenly felt that the last chance to turn the tables was gone, and said frustratedly: "Then what should I do?" Waiting to be defeated? ”
Jiang Wei ordered: "Quickly prepare a warship for me, General Ben is going to take the lead, and I will meet this Dongwu prodigy Zhuge Ke for a while!" ”
Immediately, Pan Ping arranged a warship for Jiang Wei. The size of the warship was much smaller than that of the building ship, and it was convenient to travel at sea, so Jiang Wei took the warship and headed towards the Dongwu Navy.
When he was about to approach the Dongwu Naval Division, Jiang Wei picked up his true qi and shouted loudly:
"I am Jiang Wei, the general of the Han Dynasty's right supervising army, Zhuge Ke, listen, you have all entered the general's body, the general can't bear to be ruined, give you a chance to escape, you quickly retreat to Eastern Wu, the general promises not to pursue, otherwise you will all be buried in this ocean."
On the flagship of the warship of Dongwu, Zhuge Ke saw Jiang Wei coming alone and one ship, and he made such a bold statement, and then looked at Jiang Wei's back with only five building ships and dozens of warships, and felt that Jiang Wei was simply crazy, and it was not so fatal to be reckless.
Zhuge Ke didn't bother to talk nonsense with Jiang Wei, and ordered to the fleet: "All ships, the giant crossbow is aimed at Jiang Wei, first give this arrogant guy a round of giant crossbow salvo!" ”
