Chapter Seventy-Three: Encampment
The trebuchet is huge, ordinary ships can't fit it at all, and the building ship can fit it, but it's not necessary, because the trebuchet in the late Eastern Han Dynasty doesn't have enough crosshairs.
In water warfare, ships are always moving on the surface, and it is better to use a hard crossbow than to kill the enemy by them.
Such trebuchets can only be used to deter the defenders of the city during the siege.
However, the trebuchet on the battleship of the Five Teeth already has a certain accuracy.
As boulders smashed into the Yellow Cover fleet, several clippers were smashed, one of the soldiers was killed on the spot, and others were smashed and began to bubble into the water.
Huang Gai and Ling Tongqi gritted their teeth, and the two of them each held a bow to shoot, but the range of the trebuchet was extremely long, and their bows and arrows could not hit the five-toothed ship at all.
An official said: "General, the order flag of the Metropolitan Governor has changed!" ”
Huang Gai turned around, and the black flag on Zhou Yu's flagship kept shaking.
He threw his bow onto the boat and said depressedly, "I have never fought such a battle!" Before you make contact, you're about to retreat! ”
Ling Tong sighed and said, "If you give me another twenty warships, I will let that Xu Huang die without a place to be buried!" ”
However, the second general only said that they still followed Zhou Yu's order, and the fleet retreated with full sails, desperately fleeing.
Cao Jun, after the Wuya big ship, the young general Xiahou Shang led more than a dozen fleets to chase and kill Huang Gai, Dong Xi, and Chen Wu's fleet.
At the beginning, after Chen Wudu, he was caught up by Xiahou Shang and lost some ships, but the command flag on Zhou Yu's flagship kept changing, and the three fleets also changed formations, and soon integrated into Zhou Yu's brigade.
Xiahou Shangnai is Xiahou Yuan's cousin, his uncle Xiahou Yuan lost the vanguard army, he was holding his breath and led more than a dozen fleets to raid Chen Wu, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to have set up a formation. There were more and more enemy ships around, and in a panic, I had to give up some small boats and retreat back.
The five-tooth ship chased for a while, and when he saw that the other party was in a neat position, and there was a military order not to chase deeply, he stopped chasing.
Cheng Yu looked at it on the flagship battle floor, and said helplessly: "It is obviously a defeated army, but it can quickly integrate the team, and it is not chaotic in the face of danger, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin live up to their reputation." ”
Jia Xu looked at Zhou Yu's formation carefully, and also shook his head and said: "There are few methods for the march and formation of the navy army in the war book, and Zhou Yu has already exhausted its essence. ”
Seeing that an old poison like Jia Xu admired Zhou Yu, Cao Cao laughed and said, "The two of you don't have to grow up with other people's ambitions. What enemy to deal with, what kind of way to play, we won this time, and then the way to play, we have discussed it again! ”
The two of them said in unison: "Oh! ”
However, they soon discovered that Cao Cao had simply said such a sentence and stopped mentioning the war.
Both of them are strategists who have followed Cao Cao through countless ups and downs, and they know that Cao Cao is planning the overall situation, and they don't care about winning or losing at all.
His eyes were staring at the Yangtze River sand table in front of him. These days, basically wherever he goes, the sand table is taken.
Xun Yu was in the rear, money and food were constantly transported, Cao Cao didn't say anything about it, but Xun Yu snatched the sand table table from Cao Ajiu's hand and sent it to the front line, so that Cao Cao Lian said a few "good" words.
Seeing Cao Cao's thoughtful look, Xun Yu said first: "Is the lord looking at where he will be tonight after this battle?" ”
Cao Cao rubbed the corners of his forehead and nodded.
Xun You had already had a draft, and said calmly: "The current situation is that the enemy and our armies are bounded by the main force of the fleet, and the river to the west is completely blocked by our army, and the river to the east is blocked by the enemy. Today, the two armies are testing each other, the war is over, and where the village is at night will indeed have a great impact on the situation of tomorrow's battle. ”
Cheng Yu and Jia Xu listened quietly, Xun Yu pointed to the sand table and said: "Zhou Yu should retreat more than ten miles and then go down to the village, but not too far behind." Because of his various actions, it is clear that we will not let our main force join Zhao Yan's division in Xiakou. However, the situation on the south bank of this neighborhood is mountainous, and there are not many places to set up camp, so he can only go down to the village in this vicinity. Then we might as well stagger two miles from them and go down to the village on the north bank of the river. ”
Cheng Yu studied the place he pointed out for a while, and agreed: "This way, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, there are eight hundred miles of Yunmeng Daze, the lake is vast, and the narrowest part is only one mile away from the bank of the Yangtze River. The place pointed out by Gongda is far away from Yunmengze, and it is indeed convenient to go to the village. In the north bank of the village, when the time comes, the tiger and leopard riders accompanying the north bank are also convenient for patrolling, and can be compared with Zhao Yan's Seventh Army farther away on the north bank, which is very good. ”
Jia Xu also echoed the voice.
Cao Cao glanced at where he was pointing, thought for a moment, and shook his head again.
Xun You and the others were surprised, and Cao Cao said softly: "Go further." ”
The three of them frowned, followed the river bank on the sand table to the east, and did not see a better place to set up a village, and couldn't help but wonder.
On the contrary, it was the tiger idiot Xu Chu next to him who spoke, his voice was extremely rough, and he said with a full temperament: "Oh, such an obvious thing, I can see it, why don't you understand?" ”
Cheng Yuqi said: "What did I not see?" ”
Xun You said: "Zhongkang, don't say crazy things!" ”
Jia Xu also looked at Xu Chu strangely, not understanding how the three of them were not as smart as one Xu Chu.
Xu Chu was thick and fine, and he smiled, and actually sold Guanzi.
Cao Cao sneered, ignored him, and only closed his eyes to recuperate.
These days, he has a terrible attack of head wind, and he is always uncomfortable and tight.
Cheng Yu pointed at Xu Chu and smiled angrily: "Zhongkang, let's talk about it, what can even you see but we don't know?" ”
Xu Chu cleared his throat and said, "Because Xiao Wu is still stranded in Jiangxia!" Have you forgotten, all of you? ”
……
Since Cao Wu left, Xiao Qiao's face was slightly red, and he was stunned.
In fact, nothing happened last night, but in the process of doing the five bird plays, she danced since she was a child, her waist was soft, and when she learned the postures of tigers, deer, bears, apes, and birds, especially when she was a deer, Cao Wu's eyes were so burning.
The Qiao family is also a famous family of Shili heirlooms, and she knows a lot of things that should not be done, but there is more physical contact, but she does not resist too much, and she really doesn't know what to do.
She pushed open the door and came out, and saw that the general was still sharpening his spear, as if the longer she grinded, the more she could kill.
She didn't like war or blood, but she was grateful to the general for keeping them safe all night.
She came to the small courtyard next to her, where the divine doctor Hua Tuo was fiddling with a cyan backpack, and there was a roll of bamboo slips next to him, and he was studying something.
Xiao Qiao was curious: "Old man, what are you doing?" ”
Hua Tuo looked a little hesitant and said: "Over the years, I have been quite experienced in treating diseases and saving people, and I have written half a volume of medical skills. Because it is placed in a cyan rucksack, it wants to be called the green capsule meridian. But the day before yesterday, Xiaoyou was drinking with me, but he said that his Beifu was developing a kind of paper, which was cheap enough for everyone in the world to read, and when he was done, he could help me print books. ”
Hua Tuo said, put the bamboo slip in the center of his eyebrows and said: "It is naturally a good thing to let everyone in the world read, I am wondering, should I copy this bamboo slip into a book in advance." ”
Xiao Qiao's eyes lit up and said: "Xiao Qiao also knows words, if the old gentleman is too busy, let me write." ”
It was difficult to find pen and ink in the countryside, and it took half a day to find the right tool, so Xiao Qiao studied the ink by himself, thought about it for a while, and wrote the title of the book to be copied.
Hua Tuo said strangely: "Why isn't it the title of the Green Capsule Sutra?" ”
Xiao Qiao said: "Mr. told me yesterday that his medical skills are comparable to those of a hundred schools. In ancient times, there were Lao Tzu, Zhuangzi, and Sun Tzu, and you can already start a sect in the art of medicine and Taoism, and naturally you should also be called a son. ”
"I can't do it, I can't do it! How can I stand side by side with the sages? I'm afraid that little friend is making fun of me again! ”
Hua Tuo hurriedly waved his hand and snatched the paper with the title of "Huazi" written on it.
……
"Ahh
Cao Wu sneezed, rubbed his nose depressedly, and moved his body lying in front of the mound.
In front of him was the Jiangdong Army that was camping.
On the way west on the south bank of the Yangtze River, he was blocked by the Jiangdong Army and could not go any further.
