Chapter Ninety-Six: The Battle of Chibi No. 10, Cao's Army's Scheme
On the Yangtze River, Cao's army was chasing the Jiangdong rout.
Three five-tooth ships chased ahead, Cao Wu was in the middle, Hengjie was on the right, and the other was on the left.
Cao Wu stood at the bow of the ship, calculating the distance from the other party's flagship, and on his left hull, there was a strong general, holding a halberd, inserting it into the hull, and hanging on the side of the ship like this, it was Xu Chu.
The speed of the five-tooth ship was very fast, and Xu Chu was blowing the wind, but he was laughing.
After destroying the building ship just now, he didn't have time to jump back into the Wuya ship, so he simply hung himself on the boat and accompanied him.
He served as Cao Cao's guard for a long time, and before the battle of Guandu, there were often people who could kill Cao Cao's left and could practice their hands.
But now, it is becoming more and more difficult for the enemy to attack Cao Cao's side, and Cao Cao is less and less likely to appear directly on the front line, and more often sits in the Chinese army, or moves to the city behind the front line to do strategic planning.
Rarely did he kill as much as he does today.
In this fight, the grievances of witnessing the assassination of the lord were swept away, and he was just waiting to catch up with Zhou Yu's flagship, and the first one jumped up and killed Zhou Yu.
But Cao Wuxin is not as calm as it seems.
Zhou Yu's flagship was too far back, and in the past, he always hid his flagship in the middle of the Jiangdong Army fleet and never exposed it.
And this time, the flagship is so obvious, it is clearly a fraud.
Cao Wu believed that the cover of the Left Wing Army could make Zhou Yu panic, and even if he really fell behind, there should be other ships to protect him.
Moreover, he had noticed that there was a river in front of him, and the current was very fast.
In this section of the river, the north shore is bare land, and one mile to the north is 800 miles of Yunmeng Daze.
Because the river here is turbulent, it is too difficult to cross the river, and the Cao army used to patrol with tigers and leopards, and at most he took a look at this place, and then he did not move forward.
If Zhou Yu is cheating, he can only set up an ambush here.
But he also has his own calculations, even if Zhou Yu is cheating, he is not afraid.
The reason why Cao Cao dispatched so many troops was naturally not just Xiakou Liu Bei, but his southern finger was actually the eastern finger, pointing to the six counties of Jiangdong.
But in the history he experienced, after Cao Cao's Chibi fiasco, not to mention Jiangxia County, even Jingzhou, only Nanyang and Xiangfan were lost.
It can be said that the Battle of Chibi created the situation of the Three Kingdoms, and also set the situation of the Three Kingdoms War in the following decades.
He wants to rewrite this history and reverse Chibi.
But he also knew the resistance in the dark, he came here to take risks, and he was hard at every step, in fact, he didn't think about fighting Jiangdong in a war, just to reverse the victory or defeat on the Chibi battlefield.
His strategic purpose was threefold.
First, in addition to Xiangfan and Nanyang, he also had to help Cao Cao control Jiangling and the four southern counties of Jingzhou.
Second, the main force of Cao's army must not die too much, and must not repeat the mistake of the army's death.
Third, Liu Bei, who took Xiakou, occupied the northern part of Jiangxia, so that the eight-hundred-mile Yunmeng Daze would become the inner lake of Cao's army, and he could ignore Yunmengze's obstruction at any time and attack Jiangdong by land.
After these three strategic objectives were achieved, Cao's army could advance and retreat, and there would never be a situation where it was unable to march south, let alone recuperate for decades to complete reunification.
Now, he has defeated Zhou Yu's main force, the battlefield is advancing towards Xiakou, the first and second strategic goals have been achieved, and only Xiakou needs to be captured, and all the goals have been achieved.
His thoughts were interrupted by a report from a soldier next to him, and they immediately entered the enemy ship's stone's throw away.
Cao Wu nodded and hid from Jiangtai into the bunker.
Sure enough, the five-tooth ship entered the range of Zhou Yu's flagship and was immediately shot with a bow and arrow.
The two armies fought for more than ten days, and both sides lost bows and arrows, and the other party's arrow rain could still be so dense, which can only show that Zhou Yu's flagship is well-equipped.
The five-toothed ship also organized bows and arrows to fight back, as well as trebuchets and crossbows fired from time to time, and the counterattack was also fruitful.
Seeing that the two ships were about to meet each other, Zhou Yu's flagship suddenly filled sails.
Cao Wu's eyes narrowed.
The east wind is still there, Zhou Yu is full of sails, and the flagship will go straight to the north shore.
"He's going to run ashore!"
Cao Wuxin thought about it, and he was not sure what Zhou Yu was going to do when he went ashore.
After going ashore, go to raid the Cao army camp? Only five thousand tigers and leopards awaited him.
Dong Xi's death exposed the existence of the tiger and leopard rider, and Zhou Yu would not be unaware of this.
So, what happened to him ashore? Set fire?
However, there is not much combustibles on the north shore, and now it is an easterly wind, and setting fire can only blow the fire further north. Besides, Cao Wu was afraid of fire attacks, so he had already ordered all armies to pay attention, how could it be so easy to get up.
Just thinking about it, most of the generals of the left wing army following him decided to follow Manfan and pursue Zhou Yu's flagship.
Led by Le Jin, these battle-hardened generals on the left made a decision almost at the same time: killing Zhou Yu alone is better than killing 5,000 remnants.
On the river, Zhou Yu's flagship, and several clippers, drew an arc and ran to the north bank of the Yangtze River, and behind them, countless large and small ships also drew an arc and followed the north bank of the Yangtze River.
And the three five-tooth ships, which were not yet full sails, were still chasing the 5,000 remnants in front.
Cao Wu realized for the first time that no matter what Zhou Yu's plan was, he had at least achieved his goal.
He didn't worry about himself, the five-toothed ship was like a water fortress, and it had a chance to kill if it rushed into the enemy formation.
What he was worried about was the ships of the Left Wing Army!
Hit the trick!
Cao Wu stared at the north shore, he was afraid that there would be a fire there, and the fire would burn Chibi again.
However, how did Zhou Yu do it? There is no hiding on the shore with a yellow cover and a ship on fire!
"Full sails! Go with Zhou Yu's flagship! ”
Cao Wu hurriedly shouted, and the three five-tooth ships also followed and drew an arc and headed towards the north shore.
They were the closest to Zhou Yu's flagship, and they were also the largest and fastest sails, and they had more advantages when they chased them.
However, when they regained Zhou Yu's flagship a stone's throw away, and Zhou Yu's flagship was also close to the north shore, suddenly-
"Boom!"
A loud thunderclap came from the north shore.
Cao Wu's eyes widened, he watched, behind them, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, a section of embankment suddenly disappeared!
Immediately afterwards, Cao Wu saw that a young man in white jumped out, holding a shovel, and on another section of the river embankment, looking at the five-tooth ship that came over, laughing insolently, laughing so much that he burst into tears.
Lu Xun Lu Boyan!
More than a hundred Jiangdong troops, also with shovels, stood up.
……
A few days ago, by the river.
Zhou Yu smiled bitterly: "Actually, there is a plan for a long time, but I am afraid that it will hurt the heavens." Does Mrs. Sun think that kind of strategy should be used? ”
Da Qiao's reply floated in the air: "Gongjin, Jiangdong is the foundation of the three generations of the Sun family. If Jiangdong is gone, what is the use of asking for Tianhe? ”
……
A few more days, inside the big tent of the Jiangdong Army.
Zhou Yu: "What if I have a way to dispose of the five-tooth ship?" ”
Lu Xun: "If the giant ship can be dealt with, then the day of the sky is the period of decisive battle!" ”
……
The day of crossing the Yangtze River at night.
The Jiangdong Army finally crossed the Yangtze River, and more than 100 of the 1,000 people died in the icy water.
The people, including Mi Fang, took out their shovels and prepared to cut off the grain route.
Only Dong Xi took out a few broken guns from his arms and put them together.
"Governor, I'll go first, let me try the quality of the tiger and leopard riding!"
……
The day of crossing the Yangtze River at night.
Lu Xun walked down the hill with Zhou Yu.
He suddenly took off his coat and jumped into the boiling water.
The river here is turbulent, far less than anywhere else, and it is not easy to attract attention when crossing the river from here.
Upstream, Dong Xi desperately fought for the opportunity, luring away the tigers and leopards patrolling on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
With such a good opportunity, without a general, Lu Xun was not at ease.
Lu Xun knew that Zhou Yu only took him to see it, so how could he rest assured!
The river was so cold, he didn't dare to go down after all.
……
Before the night of the decisive battle, Yuan Lin sent back the news of the funeral in the Cao army camp.
According to the characteristics of Cao's army, the generals formulated a tactic of holding each other, turning around, and cutting in.
Lu Xun has been looking at Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu has not revealed any trace of his emotions that he still has a follow-up move.
Lu Xun suddenly felt so cold.
Only he knew Zhou Yu's plan.
That night, Lu Xun returned to the previous crossing point and crossed the Yangtze River at night.
The current was too fast, but fortunately he was young and strong, and successfully swam across the Yangtze River.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Lu Xun arrived on the opposite side, counted the number of people crossing the river, and let out a laugh that did not distinguish between people and ghosts.
Sure enough, as Zhou Yu said, thousands of people crossed the river, and only one hundred and eighty-nine people succeeded in reaching the north bank.
According to them, a few people almost crossed the river, but they were still swept away by the current.
That night, he went crazy.
He knew that on the north bank of the Yangtze River, there were hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangxia.
But he wanted to lead these 189 people to poke a hole in the dragon vein of the Yangtze River.
……
In Beifu, Cao Ajiu, who was full of energy at any time, accompanied Cao Awu, who was yawning, into a guest room.
Today, they are going to hand over a new batch of money and grain to Xun Yu, which originally belonged to Beifu.
But Xun Yu was busy with affairs and couldn't be all the time, so he arranged for Chen Qun, the prime minister's chief bookkeeper, to wait here.
Chen Qun had been pacing and waiting in the house for a long time, and when he saw Cao Awu coming in, he immediately said with burning eyes: "Awu girl, the algorithm you said yesterday is really very efficient. It's a genius for a girl to come up with such a way of keeping accounts! ”
Ah Wu yawned loudly, tears were about to flow out, and said, "It's just the leftover methods of my general." ”
Seeing that Chen Qun didn't believe it, Ah Wu was nothing, but Ah Jiu wanted to argue with him and try to defend his own general.
Suddenly, Cao Aqi didn't even comb his hair, his clothes were put on haphazardly, and he pushed open the door of the house.
Seeing Ah Jiu at a glance, he hurriedly asked, "Jiujiu, has the message to our general been sent to the front line?" ”
Ah Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I gave it, I gave it a long time ago." ”
Ah Qi looked in a trance and stopped answering.
……
The moment the river bank collapsed, a huge amount of water rushed towards the land beyond the north bank.
The nearest Cao Jun ships in pursuit, including several Jiangdong clippers, also rushed towards land.
The force of the river breaking the embankment was incomparably huge, and seeing countless ships rushing towards the place of the breach, on the Wuya big ship, Cao Wu inexplicably remembered the words he received from Ah Qi.
"Wolong out, the sky moves. The phoenix chicks rise and fall into the lake. ”
It turns out that this lake is actually an eight-hundred-mile cloud dream Daze on the north bank of the Yangtze River!
Epidemic plan, assassination plan, fraud plan, food shortage plan, Beige plan.
Zhou Yu still has a plan!
The Yangtze River burst, flooded Jiangxia, and planned to break Cao's army.
What a ruthless strategy, such a ruthless Zhou Yu!
In the east of Daze, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangxia!
But in the face of such a vicious strategy, what can he do to turn the tide of the tide of his Beifu general Cao Wu?
