Chapter 38: Hidden dangers cannot be left behind
In the Chibi military village, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, who did not go out with the army, stood on the river, looking at the fire on the opposite bank that reflected the red sky.
Pang Tong sighed: "Brother Kong Ming, this Zhao Hongfei is really a god, I really don't dare to think that he is only seventeen years old, much stronger than you and me at this age." ”
Zhuge Liang also nodded and said: "Yes, Hongfei is indeed surprising, it is a piece of jade, the most rare thing is that he is mature and flexible, we are indeed inferior to him, as long as he is carved and guided in the future, he will be able to become a famous general, but it's a pity......"
Pang Tong turned back suspiciously and said, "What is a pity? ”
Zhuge Liang took out the letter from his mentor Pang Degong from his sleeve, and whispered: "It's a pity that he was targeted by the people of the Tianxia Association as soon as he emerged, those people are crazy, I believe that what they do doesn't need me to say more, you also know, this time I will find a way to hide Hongfei as much as possible." ”
Pang Tong gasped and said, "The world will?" I didn't expect it to be them, the madman who took the stars in the sky as his name, they thought they could manipulate the overall situation of the world and the direction of history, I heard that Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, was assassinated and killed after provoking them. ”
Zhuge Liang nodded slowly and sighed: "It's not just Sun Ce, when my lord Liu Bei and Cao Cao captured Lu Bu, I could also see their figures, the power of those madmen was pervasive, and they were entangled in many capable people, which made people unguardable." ”
"It's a pity that no one knows where their stronghold is, otherwise they will be surrounded and suppressed with the strength of a large army, and no matter how strong their personal ability is, they will be wiped out."
Zhuge Liang didn't answer this time, but just looked thoughtfully at the sea of fire on the river, as if he was thinking about what to do next for Zhao Yi in his heart.
"Bang bang~!"
After finishing the second magazine, Zhao Yi glanced at the friendly troops behind him, wiped his sweat and said, "Everyone rest on the spot and change the defensive formation!" ”
He knew in his heart that even if they had sharp weapons in their hands, they would only have eleven people after all, and as the saying goes, if the poor don't chase, if they rush too quickly and fall into the enemy's encirclement, it will be miserable.
Once he falls into the encirclement, it shouldn't be a big problem for Zhao Yi to escape alone, but the ten big-headed soldiers under his hands will definitely have to be explained there, but he promised them that he would take them to be promoted and make a fortune, but he didn't use their lives as a stepping stone for himself to climb up, Zhao Yi is not that kind of person.
"My ears are going to be inaudible, it's the first time I've shot so many shots in one go, boss, this thing is too exciting, it's really an immortal weapon that only the gods in the sky can make!"
Ma Liu shook his wrist and moved his shoulder again, even if the recoil of this rifle was not large, but so many bullets at one time made them feel sore in their shoulders and their ears buzzing.
"Okay, now is not the time to relax your vigilance, everyone is in a defensive formation, let's go pick up the water dogs to fight, and the task of pursuing Cao Cao will be handed over to other friendly forces, and I don't know that the old boy fell into the river and drowned."
Xu Chu jumped off the deck with Cao Cao on his shoulder, and Zhao Yi actually didn't have many doubts about the life and death of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, he thought that a character like Cao Cao would not die easily at all, not to mention that there were a lot of people around him who were willing to protect his subordinates with their lives.
After deciding not to go forward to pursue, Zhao Yi put away the rifles of several people, and entered the warehouse to exchange for more explosion-proof shields, forming a circle, and inside the shield, only a few people were left on guard with pistols, moving slowly to harvest the enemy's rout.
After a while, Jiangdong's men and horses chased after him, and Gan Ning, who was holding a double halberd to kill all sides, jumped onto the deck of the ship, and just ran two steps but stopped, because he saw that the front was forming a circle with strange transparent wooden cards, and it was Zhao Yi who kept making a noise to harvest people's lives.
This kind of ten-person small formation is too familiar to him, isn't this the kind of formation that defeated him a few days ago? I didn't expect it to be so powerful in actual combat, the combination of offense and defense makes it difficult for people to escape and get closer, and it seems to be incomprehensible.
Gan Ning's heart trembled twice, and he regained his strength to pursue Cao Jun.
After killing all the rout troops around him, Zhao Yi saw that the general trend of Cao's army was gone, no longer pursued, put away all the explosion-proof shields, let everyone be on guard with short swords, spears, bows and arrows, and began to clean up the battlefield, cutting off the heads of some generals and taking them back in exchange for military merits.
However, it is said that this fire burned more and more vigorously with the assistance of the southeast wind, and the fierce southeast wind blew the fire towards Cao Ying, and after devouring all the warships, it also set fire to the military tent on the shore.
Cao's soldiers were so confused by the fire that they scrambled for their lives, while the navy ships were pushed and shoved, and the interconnected iron chains and planks made it impossible for them to flee separately, and they could only watch as their ships were set on fire.
Although Cao Cao ordered the whole army to retreat, even if it retreated, the speed of Cao's army was not as fast as that of the Eastern Wu warships on the water, and it was tightly bitten and frantically harvested human lives.
Le Jin and Li Dian finally organized a part of the people to stand on the shore and release arrows, trying to prevent the people of Eastern Wu from landing on the shore.
But at this time, the southeast wind was strong, and not only blew the fire to their shore camp, but also blew the arrows that were shot in all directions, and even if they could fall into the enemy's formation, the power was greatly reduced.
"No, this can't be fought at all, let's retreat quickly!"
Seeing that there was nothing to do, and Cao Cao had already withdrawn some distance, Le Jin dragged Li Dian and organized the soldiers to retreat in an orderly manner.
The people of Eastern Wu took advantage of the fire to kill all the way to Cao Junshuizhai, and Zhou Yu, who faced the Cao army that was retreating on the whole line, did not choose to continue the pursuit, but let the army expand the results of the battle in situ.
At this moment, he stood alone on the bow of the ship reflected in the firelight, and said softly: "Find Zhuge Kongming and find an opportunity to kill him." ”
As soon as Zhou Yu's words fell, a person appeared in the shadows beside him.
"Yes, Governor."
The shadow guard was dispatched, and Zhou Yu wanted to take advantage of tonight's chaos to bury Zhao Yi in the fire, and then not only in addition to this hidden danger, but also to throw the blame on Cao Cao's head, such a good opportunity, once lost, it would be difficult to encounter.
"Governor, don't we continue the pursuit? Cao Jun is about to go away. ”
Gan Ning, who was covered in blood, came to Zhou Yu's side and asked with some uncertainty.
Zhou Yu had just commanded the shadow guard to assassinate Zhao Yi, and he was in a good mood, so he explained to Gan Ning: "Although Cao's army is defeated, its strength is still there, our army is better at water warfare, try not to use their shortcomings against the enemy's strengths, besides, the direction of their retreat is still blocked by Liu Bei's army, and our army has more important things to do." ”
"More important?"
Gan Ning asked rhetorically with a demented face.
"That's right, Xingba, I will now order you to be the vanguard, and lead the troops to take advantage of this shareholder's south wind down the river and take Jiangling directly."
"Take Gangneung directly? What a clever plan! ”
Gan Ning's face was overjoyed, and he shouted in his heart, "Why can't I think of it?"
