Chapter 16: Tai Shi Ci's sneak attack
"Strategist, what do you think of this battle?"
Cao Xuan and Sima Yi looked at the map, and their faces were very gloomy.
Sima Yi pondered for a long time before he spoke.
"This battle has little chance of winning, after all, fighting on the water is our weakness."
Speaking of this, Sima Yi paused again.
"However, if we want to win, we must let Sun Quan's troops lose a little more, and then we can take advantage of the weakness!"
Hearing Sima Yi's words, Cao Xuan's eyes lit up and he nodded.
"The military advisor has a clever plan, you might as well talk about it in detail!"
Sima Yi did not participate in the Battle of Chibi at all, and with Sima Yi's ingenuity, there must be a clever plan.
"Childe, I have an idea, as long as this idea works, then Sun Quan will definitely lose!"
"I want to hear about it."
......
At night, outside the city of Shouchun.
The night wind was blowing, and the sky was cloudy, as if it was going to rain.
In the distant night, there are countless hidden arrows and hidden weapons.
These hidden arrows and hidden weapons are smeared with poison and poison, and as long as there is the slightest smell of blood, it can spread rapidly, so that the people around them are poisoned and have no place to die.
Tai Shi Ci led a large number of soldiers and horses to walk in the wilderness outside Shouchun City, and he was ordered to lead troops to attack Shouchun here.
As long as Shouchun is successfully captured, the head-on water battle with Cao Cao will reduce a lot of pressure.
Tai Shi Ci led more than 8,000 elite soldiers and moved forward slowly, and they did not encounter any resistance along the way.
Five hundred meters away from Shouchun City, there was a hill on which many crossbowmen were ambushed.
Under the leadership of Tai Shi Ci, Tai Shi Ci easily bypassed this hill.
"General, Shouchun City is already in our sight!"
"Pass the order down and prepare to attack!"
Tai Shici gave an order, and suddenly more than 8,000 elite soldiers stepped forward, set up a ladder, and placed a wooden ladder on the hillside.
"Shoot the arrows!"
With Tai Shici's order, countless arrows galloped out and shot in the direction of Shouchun City.
For a moment, the entire sky was lit red.
An endless rain of arrows rushed towards Shouchun City.
The defenders in Shouchun City watched the rain of arrows coming from the sky and hurriedly dodged.
Countless arrows fell, striking the walls.
Cracks were cut in the walls by arrows.
"General, the enemy is firing, should we return fire?"
A general looked at the rain of arrows in the sky, and his face became extremely solemn.
Although Shouchun is high and deep, and the defense is strong, in this case, it can only be beaten.
If you continue to dodge, I am afraid that you will lose a lot.
"Fill all your crossbows!"
The general defending the city instructed his soldiers, and suddenly, countless crossbowmen drew their bows and shot arrows, facing the rain of arrows to fight back.
"Bang bang bang!"
Countless arrows fell, blooming in the air.
Rows of arrows landed outside Shouchun City.
In the city, Cao Xuan also received the news, and his face was also tense.
"What's the situation, it's been attacked? Sun Quan's people? ”
Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang were also stunned.
"Is there such a plot in history? Sun Quan sent someone to attack Shouchun? ”
"It shouldn't, it shouldn't, how could it be!"
Sima Yi's face also became solemn, looking at the map.
"Childe, I think Sun Quan may take this opportunity to attack us."
"It's okay, my father should find out about all of this soon!"
Cao Xuan waved his hand.
"Let the general defending the city come to me, military advisor, do you have a plan to deal with it?"
Hearing Cao Cao's inquiry, Sima Yi thought for a while.
"I have a few words of advice this time, I don't know if I should say it or not?"
"Strategist, please speak!"
"This battle, if we lose, we will give our lives in Shouchun, if we win, it will also be a heavy loss, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will be really dangerous for us to wait!"
Sima Yi solemnly reminded Cao Xuan.
Cao Xuan was shocked when he heard this.
"What do you mean?"
"Childe, this battle is about our lives, so we must not be careless."
"But I just need to defend Shouchun, as long as the city is not destroyed, everything will not be a problem, as long as the prime minister's side finds out about the situation here, he will definitely send support!"
Sima Yi said.
"I understand what the military advisor means."
Listening to Sima Yi's words, Cao Xuan nodded.
"In that case, let's do everything according to the plan."
Sima Yi sits in Shouchun, even if Shouchun is not well guarded, but with Sima Yi's ability, everything is not a problem at all!
......
At the moment, Soochow.
Sun Quan sat in the big tent and looked at the military generals below.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about this matter?"
Many officials looked at each other, but did not dare to express their opinions, because they were afraid that if they said the wrong thing, they would anger Sun Quan.
"Lord Qi, the last general thinks that this battle is not suitable for fighting."
Lu Su stood up and said.
"Oh, why?"
"Lord, now Cao Cao's power is huge, it is enough to defend, if the lord forcibly sends troops to attack Cao Cao, if he is defeated, then the lord will suffer from the enemy!"
Sun Quan nodded, he naturally knew about this matter.
But he can't help but do it.
Sun Quan took a deep breath and his face was grim.
"I understand what you said, but I was forced by the situation to make this move, otherwise, how could I take this risk?"
Lu Su's face was solemn, and he said: "Lord, this battle is not suitable, if you fail, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
"Lu Su, is this your opinion?"
Sun Quan looked at Lu Su and asked coldly.
Lu Su was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The lord forgives the sin, the minister didn't mean that!" ”
Sun Quan snorted coldly and ignored Lu Su.
"In that case, how do you think you can solve this situation?"
Lu Su was happy in his heart, it seemed that his guess was right, Sun Quan really didn't want to take this risk, otherwise he wouldn't ask his opinion.
"Lord Qi, the minister has a plan, maybe he can solve the urgent need!"
"Oh? Let's talk about it! ”
"Lord, our army can be divided into two groups, the trend of the times, our naval army is also hundreds of times stronger than Cao's army, when the time comes, let Cao Cao suffer from the enemy, and then there is a water battle, naturally Cao Cao can be defeated!"
Listening to Lu Su's suggestion, everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all showed a sudden look.
At this time, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang walked into the hall.
Zhou Yu bowed and said, "My lord, the minister thinks that Lu Su's method is very good!" ”
"Gong Jin, tell me about it!"
"The minister believes that at this time, you should not rush to send troops, if you rush to send troops, I am afraid that too many soldiers will be damaged, and if you do this, it will also put our army in danger."
"Gong Jin, don't you have the confidence to repel Cao Jun?"
Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu with a gloomy face.
When Zhou Yu heard this, his face froze.
They didn't want anyone to know about this plan, so they made it like this.
The current situation should not be careless, and we must be careful.
