Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Battle of Red Cliffs Eleven, Zhou Yu's Heart
"Boom!"
At the moment when the Yangtze River burst its embankment, Pang Tong, who was on the Jiangdong boat, turned pale.
How smart he was, he understood the consequences of the Yangtze River bursting in an instant.
One by one, Cao's ships were swept down the embankment by the force of the current, and it was not surprising that the left wing army that pursued and killed them would suffer heavy losses and be swept away by the flood.
However, the Jiangdong army had already crossed the bank of the river where the embankment had burst and came downstream, and it was difficult to be sucked back by the flood.
It would be a big victory, but Pang Tong couldn't accept it at all.
He shouted wildly: "Zhou Yu'er! ”
While shouting, he climbed to the bow of the boat.
Seeing that Zhou Yu was still a lupine scarf, and looked indifferently at the Yangtze River, he grabbed Zhou Yu's shoulder.
"Zhou Yu'er, you keep saying that you see the truth on the battlefield, and now you are breaking the Yangtze River, what are you going to do! What do you say to me? ”
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was disrespectful to call the name in person, and the guards next to him had already drawn their swords.
Zhou Yu waved his hand, let him hold himself and said: "Cao's army is in chaos, the main force has been defeated, the Yangtze River is flooding, blocking the enemy's front, and within a year or two, Cao thieves will have no chance to attack." With such a big victory, what else do you want me to explain? ”
Pang Tong grabbed him hysterically and said: "It's raining for days, Yunmengze is also full of embankments, the Yangtze River is broken, and the water has nowhere to go, isn't it going straight into Jiangxia!" Shiyang, Chukou, Anlu, Xiakou! How can the counties of Jiangxia be peaceful? The fertile land is flooded, how can hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangxia deal with themselves? Do they still have a way to live? ”
When he said this, Pang Tong's eyes were already red.
Zhou Yu still didn't shake off Pang Tong, he said calmly: "If it hadn't rained for days, the Yangtze River would have leaked into Yunmengze, and it wouldn't have stopped Cao Jun." Now that the river is flooded, their grain and grass will no longer be able to be transported, and it will be difficult for their buildings and boats to walk in the flooded places, and it will be even more difficult for the three giant ships to move an inch. This breach of the embankment completely cut off the way for Cao's army to continue to advance eastward. Wouldn't that be the best outcome? ”
Pang Tong was furious: "I don't just use poison, you don't want to, now you ...... Now you ......"
Zhou Yu said an answer that shocked him incomparably: "Jiangxia epidemic, I have already seen it, this epidemic cannot spread on a large scale at all, you use this strategy, it has no effect!" ”
Pang Tong only felt that the world was spinning, and he thought that he had pioneered this plan, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yu had long considered poisoning Cao Ying in the past.
He has understood a series of causes and consequences.
Dong's attack on the night crossing was actually to lure away the tiger and leopard riders and cover the real river crossers.
Lu Xun's night crossing was actually to add an insurance to things, not Lu Xun's original intention.
When the two armies faced each other, he put Liu Beijun last, but he hid the idea of deceit, in fact, he let Liu Beijun break off.
The two generals he brought, Mi Fang's life and death are unknown, and Yuan Lin has died in battle.
Zhou Yu had no last resort, but he was incompetent and furious, and he couldn't even hurt Zhou Yu in the slightest.
"Pang Shiyuan, have you made enough trouble? If that's enough, calm down and think about how to defeat Cao Jun below! ”
Zhou Yu's cold words pulled him back to reality.
Pang Tong clenched his fists.
This Zhou Yu is really too calm.
It was Zhou Yu's calmness that made Pang Tong even angrier.
He seems to see a war machine, and will do whatever it takes to win.
He was able to calmly say that it was better to rain and flood more people was the best result.
It's as if those who are drowned are not people, and those who are drowned are not farmland.
Such a cruel thing, he actually said it lightly, treating human life as a mustard.
How many other secrets did he have untold?
Pang Tong narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Yu's flagship in the distance.
The flagship that erected the "Left Metropolitan Governor and Central Protector Zhou" was racing against the Wuya Ship and the flood.
It was not the first day he had cooperated with the Jiangdong Army, and he knew deeply that Zhou Yu had absolute authority in the Jiangdong Army.
In this battle, Zhou Yu hid his true self and let others pretend to be the flagship. However, Daxu is unusual, and the flagship is very important, and there must be a person who can suppress all kinds of Jiangdong troops like Zhou Yu in order to pretend to be the flagship.
And the person must also be credible enough so as not to mess up the command.
Who's over there?
Zhou Yu's next sentence interrupted his thoughts.
"Shi Yuan, after that, I will take General Liu from Xiakou to Chaisang to borrow, I still have to lobby you, don't mess up."
Unexpectedly, this sentence made Pang Tong's eyes suddenly widen.
He thought of another problem that he had neglected.
If it was just a burst of the embankment, why did you cross to Jiangbei at night?
Wouldn't it be more convenient to burst the levee on the south bank under their control?
He quickly figured out that the reason why he didn't break the embankment in the south of the Yangtze River was simply because the south bank of the Yangtze River was the actual control area of Sun Quan, and the north bank of the Yangtze River was Liu Bei and Cao Cao's!
The celestial phenomena and geography were all used, and it was Liu Xuande's territory that was flooded, not Sun Zhongmou's!
Chukou and Jiangxia are in an emergency, but Nanchang and Chaisang are not damaged at all!
The people of Jiangdong can re-seek great causes at any time, but his lord has no place to stand!
A good Zhou Yu, three families compete, one calculation and two families, it is really better than half a child!
Pang Tong's throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood gushed up.
His eyes were red, and when he raised his head, Zhou Yu had already begun to command five thousand remnants of his army, preparing for a counterattack.
He was dizzy and tried to stop the bleeding, but he vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted on the deck.
The river was surging, and the flood soon reached the edge of Yunmengze.
It was rainy for days, and Yun Mengze couldn't store water, and after a while, it was connected with the river.
Yunmengze water is quiet, the Yangtze River is moving, it won't be long before Yunmengze will also flood, and Jiangxia counties are in danger.
However, on the shore of the big lake of Yunmengze, the military division of General Liu Bei, the left general, Pang Shiyuan, was ill.
The phoenix chicks rise and fall into the lake.
……
Cao Wu also saw through Zhou Yu's strategy.
After the breach, the speed of the water at the breach far exceeded the speed of the downstream water, and the Cao Jun ships, which were blown by the east wind and could not borrow the wind, flowed towards the breach.
The quick reflexes, having lowered the sails, tried to struggle away from the north shore.
However, it backfired, and many ships had already rushed down from the breach.
Cao Wu gritted his teeth and looked at Zhou Yu's flagship in front of him, his five-toothed ship had already hit the opponent's flagship.
On the opponent's flagship, the soldiers were ready to engage in battle, but with a "bang", according to Cao Wu's earlier orders, on the right side of the ship, Heng Jie commanded the five-tooth ship and crashed into the middle of Zhou Yu's flagship.
The situation is so critical, how can Cao Wu fight with them, and the five-tooth ship will collide directly!
Without the protection of the clippers, Zhou Yu's flagship, like an egg without a shell, was hit by two five-tooth ships in a row, and it had already cracked.
The five-toothed big ship that killed the main general Ling Fox, the command was a little chaotic, and it collided with it later and hit the stern.
This is the first building ship since the start of the war to enjoy the impact of three large ships with five teeth at the same time.
"Squeak ......"
The impact force of the five-tooth ship was too strong, and several cracks appeared in the hull of Zhou Yu's flagship ship, and they gradually expanded.
This flagship has been declared finished.
Cao Wu was accustomed to the inertia brought by the impact, stabilized his body, stood at the bow of the ship, emerged from the bunker, and shouted to the opponent's flagship: "Zhou Yu Xiao'er, you have been surrounded by me, come out quickly and die!" ”
But at this moment, among the five thousand remnants, a trumpet suddenly sounded.
"Hum—"
It was far away, and the sound was not loud enough, but it seemed to explode directly in Cao Wu's mind.
Zhou Yu's flagship is obviously here, where is the horn in the distance?
When I went to see the flagship, in the place where it was most heavily guarded by the Jiangdong soldiers, a short figure wearing armor loomed.
……
On the eve of the decisive battle, the Jiangdong Chinese army was on the side of the big tent.
Zhou Yu sighed: "Has Mrs. Sun thought about it?" ”
Da Qiao said without hesitation: "The day I married into the Sun family, I had an enlightenment. I want to know, has Gong Jin thought about it? ”
Zhou Yu looked at the Yangtze River: "Think about it." As a general, if you don't have the courage to take responsibility, why fight. ”
At that moment, he was thinking of the nursery rhyme.
Will not be a general, Zhou Yu will fight the Yangtze River.
