Chapter 396 When the east wind arrives, the fire is on the ship
The soldiers on the side of Xiakou Ferry are busy making preparations.
Hay, dry wood and dry wood were constantly transported to the shore and the high ground, all in rows.
The soldiers below are the outermost warships coated with concrete, which is a mixture of cement, lime, and yellow mud, while throwers are installed on the shores on both sides, and tens of thousands of people are busy and can't stop.
Lin Mo took Jia Xu, Chen Gong and other civil servants and strategists to inspect, and the overall battle plan was basically according to Jia Xu's previous deployment, but before that, Lin Mo convened all the strategists to discuss, but some details were adjusted, and there were basically no changes.
Now what he has to do is make a final inspection, after all, if everything goes well, it should be the last battle to unify the troubled times.
After two rounds of inspection, everyone also carried out an expected big battle drill in their hearts, and after confirming that there was nothing that needed to be improved, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to return to the camp.
After this battle, it doesn't really matter if Cao Sun Liu survives, because even if they live, there is no place for them in this world.
Jiaozhou is barren, Sun Ce has no ability to defend himself when he goes back, as long as the war is finalized here in Jingnan, Liu Bei has also lost his foundation, as for Yizhou, Fa Zheng has already gone back, which is more important, he weighed it out, not to mention, it has also been deployed along the way, not to mention that Cao Cao can't run out of heavy encirclement, even if he goes back to Yizhou, he will be exchanged for meritorious service.
It seems that everything is ready, but surprisingly, Lin Mo does not have the pride of having a prominent feat at his fingertips and an indestructible foundation at hand.
I just feel that all this can finally come to a successful end.
Along the way, only he knew in his heart what he had experienced, and the pleasure of standing on a high place and overlooking all living beings only existed in the book after all.
When he returned to the Zhongjun tent, the old father-in-law, Liao Shen and Gao Shun knelt in a circle around the table, and there were four bowls in front of them, which looked like wine.
Lin Mo smiled and nodded, this is knowing that I am coming?
Also, Isn't Gao Shun a non-drinker? Is it just because the condition of the water and soil adaptation has eased and the habit has changed?
"You sit next to me."
When Lin Mo was about to sit on the vacant seat, he was pushed away by Zhang Liao, and the old father-in-law on the side also motioned for him to sit next to him, "That's Uncle Zhi's position." ”
I see, I'm being amorous, Lin Mo sneered: "I thought I'd be waiting for me." ”
"I'm waiting for you."
Lu Bu sighed, "Peping came to me, saying that his name was not in the plan for the use of troops this time, and asked to add it." ”
"Uncle Gao, don't get me wrong, I know that you came from Xuchang to wait for this battle, just thinking that you have just recovered."
Lin Mo explained, looking at Gao Shun's face that was still a little pale, but his expression was extremely firm, he knew that he had to fight, so he shrugged his shoulders and said: "There are a few soldiers and horses, Lord Yuezhang and Uncle are clear, you look at the arrangement, I have no opinion." ”
"Why are you waiting for it to be so simple?" At this point today, of course Liao Shen knew that he was calculated, but fortunately, this nephew saw through the mystery, otherwise his reputation would be ruined.
However, this did not affect the fact that he did not take Lin Mo in his eyes.
"So what?"
Lin Mo looked at Gao Shun, this is a stuffy jar, and thought to himself, just don't say it, the old father-in-law became the spokesperson and smiled: "You also know that there are so many roads, do you think, which way will have greater merit?" ”
"What's the matter, does Uncle Gao think his position is lower?"
Lin Mo looked at Gao Shun in surprise, he had the impression that he was not very interested in power, but he still comforted: "Uncle Gao is his own family, and he can't compare to other generals."
What's more, Gao Shun had already made great achievements in the early years, and he took 10,000 steps back and said, he just didn't have meritorious service in hand, and when he returned to Xuchang, he would like to speak in whichever position he wanted, who could not fight with you without a long eye? ”
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhang Liao, "Of course, I don't know if Uncle Zhang will fight or not." ”
"I'll beat you believe it or not!" Liao Shen was about to fight, and Lin Mo had already smartly changed his position and sat down.
"Yunwen, you are not a person in the army, you don't understand what we want in our hearts, not to mention that iron-clad men don't need to rely on those shady means, what I want Gao Shun, I have to rely on myself to fight for it." He's an honest man.
If this is Zhenrong, I will make sure that you will kneel on the ground and cry bitterly on the spot and call Dad.
Lu Bu also bowed his head and said: "Yunwen, the brothers who followed me out of Guanzhong in the past, there are not many survivors, Chu Nan, Wen Yuan, which one is not a great achievement, over the years, Peping has been in the rear to pick up heavy responsibilities, and it is time for him to be himself on the battlefield." ”
After Lu Bu finished speaking, his eyes looked at the vacant position softly, "If Uncle Zhi is here, he must think the same way." ”
Understood.
It's that Gao Shun is going to go on the expedition this time, and he also wants to pick a fat difference to do, of course Lu Bu can not ask Lin Mo if he changes the main general along the way, but the problem is that they can't judge which way is fat enough.
Liao Shen looked at Lin Mo and said arrogantly: "Don't play tricks, don't think we are all stupid, Wen Xiang is biased towards him, we are just silent, this is your uncle, I can beat you in front of your father-in-law!" ”
Lin Mo helped his forehead, and I didn't say a word, "Let me think about it." ”
If you want to pick a fat difference, it's actually really hard to judge.
It stands to reason that this time is the final decisive battle, and the Cao Sun and Liu coalition troops on the opposite side must also think so in their hearts, so stud is the most basic, that is to say, there will be a strong general to lead the team along the way, and as long as the road is played well, in fact, there will be no less meritorious service.
But if you really want to talk about the fattest
Xiling City is a piece of fat here, the most attractive, so Lin Mo felt that the one who came to the head of the boundary should be the most elite troops in the coalition army, not jokingly, this route let Gao Shun, who was not accompanied by the trapping camp, lead the team, he couldn't handle it.
It is best to have a position that is not too difficult, and the merit is superior to everyone.
After thinking for a while, Lin Mo got up and walked to the handsome case, took a sheepskin drawing, put it on the table, and then pointed down the Yangtze River, "When the time comes, Uncle Gao will lead a team of people around Baqiu to guard here, originally I planned to let Wen Xiang take people there, here, there must be someone Uncle Gao wants." ”
"Who?" Gao Shun was immediately interested, and even Zhang Liao's eyes lit up.
"If I can pinch it, I'm not sure who it is, but it's definitely a big fish."
After Lin Mo finished speaking, Lu Bu took over the words and exclaimed: "Okay, Boping, can Yunwen still deceive you, go and prepare, time is pressing." ”
"The last general is ordered!" Gao Shun immediately got up and smiled.
This is the reality, no matter how high your ability and ability are, no one above will arrange for you, and you can only lie on your stomach honestly.
Ever since he was determined to take over the world from Liu Xie, Lin Mo would occasionally think of some ways to govern the country.
Maybe it's because he got up from the bottom, Lin Mo knows too much about the life at the bottom of this era.
For them, the policies of the court and the surname of the Son of Heaven surnamed Liu Lin do not seem to be important, because it is the local parents and officials who control their life and death, which also derives the scourge of Xu officials that all dynasties and dynasties cannot get rid of.
Under the protection of officials and officials, they are too good in water, and this problem has never been solved by simple and rude killing, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would not have written a suicide note before killing the Manchu Dynasty.
Now it seems that even the people at the highest level are in this whirlpool, and there is a long way to go, Lin Mo sighed, rubbed his temples, and remembered what Qianlong said in later film and television dramas, as long as the people below do not control the government and do not collude with friends, it is already commendable, as for some dark sides of human nature, it is inevitable, not deaf or blind, and not worthy of being in charge.
At first, Lin Mo was very unimpressed, but today, he found that he understood the core meaning of these words.
At the Baqiu Ferry, as night fell, thirty clippers were ready, loaded with saltpeter, sulphur, and charcoal, and their bows were coated with ignition oil.
As long as all these warships hit Lu Linjun's company, it would be a sea of fire.
On the shore, Huang Zhong limped onto the boat, of course his physique is strong, and he is also very vigorous in his fifties, but those military sticks are really beaten down for Huang Jian to see, there is no stick to play false, ordinary people can lie down for half a year, Huang Zhong can get up and walk now is already commendable.
Except for a few lieutenants from Changsha who came to give him a strong trip, there was no one else.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have already set off for the head of the realm, and according to the time, they should have arrived a long time ago; Zhuge Liang, what about doing it on the mountain, you have to play a full set of acting.
Huang Zhong is not the only one who is lonely, Ding Feng is the same, Sun Ce has taken Cheng Pu and Han Dang to Hulukou, and the youngest hero among the twelve tiger ministers of Jiangbiao is now alone on the warship.
"There is still an hour before the sub-hour, let's go." After entering the cabin, Huang Zhong did not choose to lie down, and forced himself to endure the pain and straighten up and order.
Ding Feng didn't say anything, it would take an hour to go down the river from Baqiu to Xiakou, and the time was just right to set off now.
The gate of Shuizhai was opened, and thirty clippers went down the river, and Huang Zhong and Ding Feng on the warship were quite calm, after all, they were people who had seen a big scene.
The other soldiers, even if they were selected dead soldiers, were still very panicked in their hearts, and this battle was very difficult.
As the vanguard, they need to drive the fast boat into the water village of the Lu Lin army, ignite the bow of the ship and crash into their company, and then jump off the boat to fight ashore, and take advantage of the chaos to kill on the water village and open the gate of the village.
Of course, if everything goes well, it won't be too dangerous, after all, with the fire, Lu Linjun's first reaction must be to cut off the iron chain to put out the fire, and no one will care about them.
Behind them, the 50,000 sailors were all ready to go, and the ten building ships were ready to be used together this time.
As soon as the gate of the water village is opened, they will kill it and serve Lu Lin in the chaos.
Of course, there are still Lu Lin's infantry on the shore, and those are Lu Lin's most elite troops, but it is useless, once the serial ship is burned, the whole army will be studed, and Lu Lin's naval army will be killed and lose their armor.
Panic is contagious, and before the time comes, the first reaction is to run away.
What's more, as long as the ship goes in, and the ship's thrower desperately throws the oil jar into the military camp of the foot cavalry, there will also be a sea of fire.
Therefore, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's task is relatively easy.
"General, it's here!" Looking at the brightly lit water village in the distance, the soldiers came to pass.
"Why haven't you seen the southeast wind rise yet?" Seeing that the flag fluttering on the mast of the ship was not the southeast wind at all, Ding Feng was uneasy.
Huang Zhong didn't speak, and he was a little nervous, this thing must not go wrong, otherwise there would be more people who died.
These sailors can still return the same way, and those who set up ambushes across the river are afraid that it will be difficult to completely avoid the eyes of Lu Linjun.
Ding Feng and Huang Zhong are uneasy, Cai Mao and Zhang Yunke are afraid, they chose Cao Cao, that is, they put their lives on the line, Zhuge Liang, don't drop the chain at a critical time.
"Wait," Huang Zhong frowned.
After a few moments, the direction of the wind finally changed.
The flag on the mast of the ship can be seen to the naked eye to float to the northwest, and the southeast wind is coming, finally coming.
After Huang Zhong breathed a long sigh of relief, he clenched the treasure carving bow in his hand, and the big knife on the side also stood there, just because of his injury, most of the time tonight he relied on this hundred-step technique to establish his power on the battlefield.
"Raise the fire!"
With Huang Zhong's order, a ship led by him lit up three torches, which was a signal to surrender, and the warship slowly approached.
"Don't come any closer, or we'll release the arrows!" The people on the water village are still very vigilant.
"Don't let go of the arrows, we are General Huang's people!" One of the lieutenants shouted.
"Where is General Hansheng?" Wei Yan had been waiting there for a long time.
"Wen Chang, it's me, open the door!" I confirmed the eyes, and it was the one who had to wait.
The soldiers turned the wheel of the water gate, and after the iron chain rattled, one side of the water gate was raised.
"Full speed ahead!"
These ships quickly dispersed after entering the water village, and the bow of the ship fanned in different directions, and Huang Zhong shouted again: "Ignition!" ”
At the sound of the order, the fire fold was thrown into the bow of the ship, and the flames jumped several feet high with a 'bang', and with the help of the wind, these flames were like fire dragons whirring.
"Kill!"
Moved.
Thirty clippers rushed towards the company ships of the Lu Lin army.
At this moment, whether it is Huang Zhong or Ding Feng, they are excited.
The most worried east wind came, and the water village also mixed in smoothly, then, this plan was a complete success.
Thundered!
As these cargo ships collided with Lu Linjun's company, there was a loud noise, and sparks splashed.
The soldiers threw the saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal they had prepared into the opposite boat, ready to enjoy a fire that would rewrite history.
As long as they threw all these things over, they could get off the ship and fight.
