Chapter 390: Borrowing an Arrow in the Rain

The heavy rain came as scheduled, Zhou Yu smiled and looked at the pouring rain outside the door, even though Yangzhou is located in the south of the empire, this kind of heavy rain is still very rare, and the two sides of the fight fell into calm in an instant. The sailors of the Liu family's army, who must fight every day, stayed in the camp unusually. The guards on both sides were hunched into the towers, not even bothering to look out. There was no fighting, and these soldiers rarely had time to rest, and one by one they hid in their tents and refused to come out, praying that this damned war would end soon.

Zhang Hu and Cai Maolai also looked at Zhou Yu in surprise, they didn't expect Zhou Yu to have the ability to predict the weather. The two were even more surprised that Zhou Yu actually asked the two of them to mobilize a part of the elite soldiers and prepare to go out of the city. The two of them looked at the pouring rain outside the door, and they couldn't help but shake their heads, fighting under such heavy rain, I am afraid that they have not yet killed the opponent's camp, and the physical strength of the soldiers has been exhausted. But Zhou Yu looked like he was winning, and even Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, who had been following Zhou Yu's side, were inexplicably excited.

"Governor, going out to fight in this situation, the physical strength of our soldiers is very high, and I am afraid that if we can't rush to the other party's camp, the physical strength of our soldiers will be exhausted. "Zhang Hu has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, Cai Mao is proficient in the navy, and has led the navy of Jianye City for many years, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to fight in the rain.

"I know this, and Li Xiao on the other side also knows it. How much defense do you say the enemy has in such a situation?" Zhou Yu looked at the two with a smile, naturally knowing what the two were worried about, Zhou Yu walked to the edge of the house and watched the huge raindrops hit the ground. There was a splash of water all over the place.

"But the Governor. If you want to defeat the opposing army. It is bound to make the other party panic, even if the other party is defenseless, if we rush into it like this and can't immediately disrupt their camp, once they get their team in order, we will definitely lose. It is impossible to attack with fire on a rainy day, and it is difficult to cause chaos in the place. ”

Zhou Yu looked at Zhang Hu and Cai Mao, who were nervous, and smiled, patted them on the shoulders and said, "It's raining so heavily outside." If we attack each other with such fanfare, how do you think the other side will defend against us?"

"Fanfare attack?" Zhou Yu's offensive strategy made the two of them frown, it was difficult for soldiers to walk in such weather, not to mention the heavy infantry advancing with heavy armor all over their bodies. If there is no heavy infantry, and the attack is purely light infantry, it is completely looking for death. How will the other party defend, if it is Zhang Hu, there is no need to pay attention to it at this time, but at this time, Zhou Yu's words changed Zhang Hu's mind.

"Li Xiao is not you Zhang Hu, his character is far more cautious than you think. Zhou Yu looked at the two people in front of him indifferently, these two people were not completely devoid of cultivation value. If these two people couldn't understand Zhou Yu's battle, Zhou Yu decided to ask Liu Fan to remove the two from their positions as commanders after this battle. Zhang Hu's eyes lit up. Li Xiao's personality is said to be cautious, and it is not good to say, that is, timid, it can be seen from his fighting style, his cautiousness, yes, his caution, Zhang Hu and Cai Mao glanced at each other, and finally understood what Zhou Yu meant.

"General, are you saying that Li Xiao doesn't dare to let us go at all, but he will definitely not send troops, and in such weather conditions, he only has one means of defense, and that is bows and arrows. In addition, the arrows fired must be heavy arrows such as wolftooth heavy arrows and armor-piercing arrows. Cai Mao commanded the naval army to fight all the year round, so he naturally knew what the first weapon of the water war was, and his heart moved at the moment, thinking of the straw man that Zhou Yu had ordered to tie in the past few days, and finally knew what Zhou Yu wanted to do.

Arrows, the only few arrows in Huiji City have been shot out, fortunately, this Li Xiao is a general who does not pursue military exploits, as long as there are no mistakes, otherwise Huiji City will be really dangerous. Li Xiao's lack of courage to fight has become a fatal shortcoming, and it is also because of this that Zhou Yu is confident that his 200,000 navy will be annihilated, but this is not an opportunity yet. Now the liliang in Zhou Yu's hands is not enough to eliminate him, Zhou Yu is waiting, waiting for the most suitable time.

Now Zhang Hu and Cai Mao can be said to be admired by Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu can actually judge Li Xiao's combat jihua in a short period of time. Zhou Yu has all the qualities that a generation of Confucian marshals should have, and the two have no doubt that Zhou Yu will definitely become the most popular person in the Liu family army besides Liu Fan.

If the two generals have no objections, they will prepare more banners and war drums to prepare to go out of the city to fight. Zhou Yu's face changed, and he said sharply to the four of them: "Zhou Tai, Cai Mao, the two of you lead the navy out of the city with me, choose an elite sailor for each small boat, and the rear warships are equipped with flags and war drums." Gan Ning, Zhang Hu, the two of you lead the elite infantry, each carrying three straw men out of the city, remember to insert the straw men in the opponent's camp for a hundred steps and then retreat immediately, just sound the drums and make noise in the rear. ”

"Yes. The four of them immediately arranged according to Zhou Yu's order, and several white boats built day and night in Huiji City, under the traction of dozens of big war ships, walked out of the water gate of Huiji City with difficulty, and the heavy rain was still pouring, and hundreds of elite soldiers struggled to control the small boats and slowly swam out after them. Each of the men at the helm was protected by a three-layer shield regiment, and behind them were dozens of large battle ships, who would be responsible for beating drums and cheering. And Zhou Yu took Zhou Tai and Cai Mao to sit in the first warship, drinking wine while watching the heavy rain outside the window.

"General, is this really possible? The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and I am afraid that if we don't reach the other party's camp, our boats will all capsize. Cai Mao frowned and looked at the soldiers who were struggling to control the boat in the rain, under such heavy rain, even their big war ships were very difficult to walk, not to mention those small boats that could only produce a dozen materials.

Zhou Tai stood aside and looked at Cai Mao and said with a smile: "General Cai doesn't need to worry, the people who are responsible for controlling the ship this time are all the elite soldiers under General Cai." These small boats have been specially processed by Zhou Dudu, and it will not happen if they capsize in the heavy rain. General Cai is a little restless, just wait for the results here. ”

Unlike Cai Mao's worriedness, Zhou Tai participated in Zhou Yu's jihua from beginning to end, and Zhou Tai was also responsible for the production of these warships, so in his opinion, what Cai Mao was worried about would not happen at all. Cai Mao looked at Zhou Yu and Zhou Tai so indifferently, and gradually let go of the worries in her heart, and followed Zhou Yu to sit in the big boat, drinking wine and admiring the heavy rain outside the warship.

"Come on, drums. When there were still a hundred steps away from the enemy's camp, Zhou Yu's warships lined up at one time, neatly lined up in front of the opponent's camp, and Zhou Yu ordered the drums to beat, and the war drums on the dozens of war drums on the warships rumbled, and Gan Ning and Zhang Hu's troops on the land also acted quickly, and soon the war drums sounded together, and the earth-shaking war drums broke the silence of the night and the dullness of the rainy night.

The Yangzhou army in its sleep also moved quickly, and after the three-way war drums were finished, the Yangzhou army also moved quickly, at this time, as long as a normal general would know that this was the Liu family army bluffing. The banner of the Liujia army was in front of the front, and the guards of the Yangzhou army were surprised to find that the surrounding area of the camp had been filled with the banner of the Liujia army. A group of Yangzhou troops rushed out of the camp in the heavy rain and shot their bows and arrows in the night.

No, the special lighting device was shot into the sky, and the front of the camp was slowly filled with soldiers of the Liu family's army, and the Yangzhou army was even more panicked, and the walls of the entire camp were full of archers, and the wolf's tooth heavy arrows in the sky directly tore through the heavy rain that had dripped into a bead curtain, and the powerful penetrating bell of the wolf's tooth heavy arrow was on the straw man of the warship, on the wooden plank, fell into the water, and was inserted into the ground.

"Du Du is really a god!" Cai Mao sat in the warship, his ears were full of the sound of arrows piercing into the wood, Zhou Yu looked at Cai Mao with a smile, and did not speak, and after the three-way drum was finished, Zhou Yu made the warship fall again.

"Alright, let's go back. Zhou Yu looked at the warship full of arrows and smiled with satisfaction, and the heavy rain had stopped at this time.

"Thank you General Li for the arrows!" The moment the warship and Gan Ning returned to the camp with the army, the Liu Jiajun burst out with a tsunami, which suddenly made Li Xiaoqi, who was very nervous in the camp, pale. (To be continued.) )
