Chapter 268 The Wind Blows, The Night of Fire
On December 13th of the [-]th year of Jian'an, the north wind that lasted for three to four months finally stopped.
The weather seemed to be getting milder.
It seems that the early spring is approaching, the temperature is getting warmer, everything is taking root and sprouting, and the long-lost sunshine dispels the cloudy clouds and shines on the earth.
Now Shen Chen understood why the battle of Chibi historically had a southeast wind blowing in December.
Because of early rejuvenation.
The twelfth month of the lunar calendar is the first month of the Gregorian calendar. Especially in the south, spring returns earlier, and sudden changes in the climate are common at the end of the year, late winter and early spring.
In the next few days, the Jiangdong navy continued to attack the north bank, trying to use this as a breakthrough.
Because the main force of the Jiangxia navy must guard the mouth of Yonghu Lake, there are only more than 1 defenders on the north bank. Facing the impact of [-] to [-] Jiangdong navy, their defensive pressure is still very high.
On December 25th, at the end of the morning eclipse and the beginning of Yuzhong, thousands of boats floated on the river once again, attacking the north bank of Baqiu.
Numerous ships erected baffles, large ships parked on the river, and a large number of small and medium-sized ships such as lures, maotu, flying boats, scouts, fast horses, and yachts were launched, each carrying a few to twenty or thirty people. The soldiers began to charge towards the shore.
Unless a ship attacks on land by abandoning the ship, large ships such as building ships, fighting ships, and warships must not be allowed to go, because they are easy to run aground and hit the rocks. Only such small ships are very suitable for this kind of land combat.
On the beach on the north bank, there are still a large number of wrecks of small and medium-sized ships. These are the ships that Zhou Yu failed to launch several times during this period of time and finally stayed on the beach.
Although several attacks failed and lost 3000 to 3 troops, Zhou Yu summed up the failure experience, and the fleet dispersed the attack. Thousands of small and medium-sized ships, carrying more than [-] troops, covered the entire river, and then began to swarm towards Raid on the shore defense line.
Shen Chen personally sits on the battlefield every time, constantly commanding and dispatching.Relying on exquisite command and well-arranged defense lines, Zhou Yu's attacks were barely repelled several times.But this time it was obviously a surprise attack by the whole army, and the scale was unprecedented.
In the previous times, there were only 1 people at most. This time, an army of more than 3 horses directly pressed the border. It was obvious that Zhou Yu had already tested the loopholes, and finally planned to land on the beach and fight Shen Chen to the death.
The two sides fought quickly, and the first thing to do was naturally the bow and arrow.The rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun along the coast swayed towards the Jiangdong Army, and fell into the Jiangdong Army fleet like dark clouds.
It's a pity that the river defense line on the north bank of Baqiu is too long. Zhou Yu scattered people and horses. Only in the area defended by Shen Chen, which stretched for more than ten miles, thousands of ships launched attacks. Bows and arrows can't cover everything, let alone fighting for days. Their arrows are also close to exhaustion, and there are not many stocks.
In this case, it is difficult for the crossbow to pose any threat to the Jiangdong Navy.Soon they rushed to the shore, cooperated closely, and began to use shields to defend against bows and arrows in an orderly manner, climbed over the fence with the wooden ladder placed with the ship, and began to engage in close combat.
"Report! The Hongshan defense line in the northeast is lost."
"Report, Jiangqiuju village in the southwest is lost."
"Report, the crossbow has been exhausted."
"Report, the enemy has destroyed our high oar on the mountain."
"report"
Bad news came one after another. Under the offensive of the Jiangdong Army like a dark cloud cover, the Jiangxia Navy retreated steadily.
The Jiang'an defense line was completely lost.
Shen Chen turned Yu Luo's horse and ordered: "Ming Jin, retreat back to the camp."
"only!"
The messenger hurriedly went to strike the copper gong.
Soon the tinkling sound of gold ringing resounded throughout the battlefield.
The soldiers of the Jiangxia navy threw away their helmets and armor one by one, gave up the defense line on the river bank, and fled to the rear barracks.
By noon, the Jiangdong navy completely occupied the north bank and landed on land.
At this time on the river, Zhou Yu was in the building boat, looking at the flag bearer to watch the distant hills, and saw the orange Jiangdong flag fluttering on the hills.
"Captain, we won, we won, the generals have seized the beach."
The standard-bearer shouted excitedly.
Below, Zhou Yu put his hands behind his back, looked at Dongfang Baqiu, and said softly: "Order to continue the pursuit."
"only!"
The orderly next to him immediately waved the flag.
The flag continued to be passed, and the sound of the horn and drum was continuous, and it was quickly passed to the frontline troops who were attacking in the distance.
And Zhou Yu himself took a boat and sailed towards the bank of the river.
Along the way, there were corpses of the enemy and us and ships floating on the shore. Blood stained the entire riverside red. In many places, the yellowish-brown rammed earth was completely soaked in blood, turning it into a dark red.
There was a lot of war on the river bank, and the Jiangxia navy set fire to delay their steps. Unfortunately, the air in the south is already humid, and there is no fish paste, so the fence on the river bank has not been burned, and sawdust is everywhere. Feathered arrows and broken weapons were thrown all over the place.
Zhou Yu strolled along the bank of the river with a smile on his lips. If the defenses of the river were breached, the defenses at the mouth of the lake would be in vain. Their rear camps would be attacked. When the time comes, the waterways will advance, and the Jiangxia navy will be completely wiped out here.
"This Baqiu is indeed a good place. It connects Yunmeng in the north, Changsha in the south, Yuzhang in the east, and Wushan in the west. Shen Chen is worthy of being a first-class hero in the world. He has a unique vision. Based on this place, he can guard us army attack."
Zhou Yu was thinking while walking: "It's a pity that he didn't build a city here. If we could build a city, it would be impossible for us to get in. But maybe it's not that he doesn't want to build it, but it's just that he can't build a city in a short time. If I Occupying this place will take time to build a city."
It has to be said that Zhou Yu's strategic vision is also very outstanding, and he recognized the importance of Baqiu early on.Just like in history, he valued this place very much. He not only built a city here, but also used this as a base to go north to attack Xiangyang and capture Jingzhou, and even died of illness here.
Therefore, he had already made up his mind at this time. After eliminating Shen Chen, he would immediately build a city here, capture Jingnan first, and then go north to attack Xiangyang to prepare for Sun Quan's forces to take Jingzhou.
"Report!"
At this moment, the front scouts came in a hurry.
Zhou Yu's thoughts were disturbed, and he frowned and said, "What happened so flustered?"
The scout got off his horse and reported: "The enemy's reinforcements are coming."
"Oh?"
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "It seems that Shen Chen can only call the soldiers and horses from Hukou, and send an order to the rear to let the rear army immediately raid Hukou and attack from both sides."
"Captain."
The scout hurriedly said: "The reinforcements are not Hukou soldiers and horses, but come from the land, and they are flying the "yellow" flag. Dudu Cheng said that it should be Liu Pan's troops stationed in Luo County, with at least [-] people. above."
Liu Pan's reinforcements are here?
Zhou Yu's face was not very good-looking, and he didn't expect Liu Pan to come so quickly.
He immediately went to the front line to inspect.
There are two camps of the Jiangxia Navy around the north bank, namely the Su Fei Department and the Deng Long Department.
In the further south, there are Chen Sheng, Zhang Hu and Hukou's main camps.
At this moment, the Jiangxia navy on the north shore line of defense had been defeated and fled into the two camps of Su Fei and Deng Long.
The two camps are horns of each other, sticking to each other.
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, who were in charge of the front line, led the army to attack the two camps respectively. Because the bows and crossbows were consumed too quickly, the defensive strength of the camps was seriously insufficient, and they were about to be captured.
But at this moment, Huang Zhong's reinforcements arrived in time and immediately went to the battlefield. Under his charge, the two were beaten back.
At the same time, Shen Chen dispatched Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu's troops. About 8000 people were left behind in Hukou's main battalion. The remaining nearly 2 troops were all thrown into the battle. In addition to the 3 reinforcements brought by Huang Zhong, there were almost [-] horses. The number of Jiangdong naval forces that attacked Baqiu is not much different.
Zhou Yu also had no way to send the rear army into battle, because he dispatched the rear army, and the people from Hukou could attack their rear by boat, and even attack their Hongkou camp, so they could only choose to fight to the death on the spot.
However, they were able to win the battle before, firstly because the defense line of the Jiangxia Navy was too long to cover everything, secondly because the enemy's bows and crossbows were exhausted, and thirdly because they had a large number of people.
At this moment, the loss of the superiority in numbers, coupled with the fact that the enemy is defending the camp and has a bonus of geographical advantage, caused Cheng Pu and Huang Gai to be unable to attack for a long time and fell into a bitter battle.
Although Zhou Yu came to the battlefield to command in person, Shen Chen was not a vegetarian either. The two dispatched troops, saw every move, and fought from noon to evening. The two camps were still as solid as a rock, but the Jiangdong Navy lost a lot People and horses can't take it down for a long time.
"Ming Jin, withdraw troops!"
Seeing the stalemate in the battle, Zhou Yu also knew that the balance of victory was no longer tilted in his favor. It can only be said that Huang Zhong came at the right time, which made him fail.
Although Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Lu Fan, Zhu Ran and others were very unwilling, they had no choice but to leave behind a lot of corpses, and hurriedly evacuated to the north bank of the river.
When night fell, the Jiangdong navy lost another one or two thousand soldiers and horses in today's battle, and left in despair.
However, Jiang Xia Navy is not much better.
Except for their complete victory in the battle of Hukou on the first day, they did not take advantage of the next few contests.
Fighting to the death in the past few days, if you don't count the results of the first day, the losses on both sides are basically [-]-[-].
This is still under the condition that the Jiangxia navy occupies a favorable terrain.
This shows the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides.
At three o'clock in the day, approaching dusk, the Jiangxia navy pursued all the way to the river bank. After Ling Tong, Lu Meng and others broke up, the Jiangdong army boarded the boat and fled.
Shen Chen rode on the Yuluo horse, watched their leaving figures, and softly snorted: "Let them escape."
Huang Zhong smiled and said: "They have two young generals who have broken the bow. They have good military strength. They joined forces and fought with the old man for dozens of rounds. Otherwise, the bow of the old man will definitely leave dozens of corpses."
"Thank you, General Huang."
Shen Chen thanked Huang Zhong and said, "If the general hadn't come at the right time, Baqiu wouldn't be able to defend."
Huang Zhong stroked his white beard, waved his hands and said, "This is my job, no thanks."
"Captain."
Su Fei came back covered in blood, still holding the ring knife in his hand, wiped the blood from his face, and said: "We have run out of arrows, this time we managed to repel them, what should we do next time?"
Shen Chen turned his head, and suddenly looked at the flag of the Jiangdong Army on the top of the mountain that had not been removed, pointed in that direction and said, "Look over there."
there?
Around Huang Zhong, Su Fei, Zhang Nan, Qu Gan and other generals all turned their heads to look.
I saw that the southeast wind had only been gentle for several days, but it became stronger and stronger, blowing the flag to the northwest gently.
"The wind is blowing from the southeast."
Huang Zhong said: "This year's southeast wind is much faster than in previous years."
"Yes."
Shen Chen smiled and said: "The southeast wind is blowing, we don't need to wait for the next time they attack us."
Su Fei was confused and asked, "What does the governor mean?"
"The order!"
Shen Chen suddenly became serious, looked around and said: "The time has come, to attack the camp tonight, let the soldiers go back to the camp to rest for two hours, and leave at midnight."
"The Governor!"
Su Fei quickly said: "But there are not enough arrows."
Shen Chen smiled and said: "Clean the battlefield and recover the arrows. General Huang's army also brought feather arrows. It is enough to fight a war."
"only."
All the soldiers were ordered immediately.
Soon the sky darkened, the sun set, and the Huoshaoyun in the sky slowly drifted with the wind, and the beautiful glow reflected half of the sky.
The Jiangdong navy failed again and returned. During this period of time, they had lost 5000 troops. Although the Jiangxia navy also lost at least 3000 people, the loss was greater than that of the opponent, which was a kind of defeat in itself.
Zhou Yu stood at the bow of the ship, and the boat slowly approached the pier they temporarily built in Hongkou. Since there was no safe haven, the pier could only be built on the bank of the Yangtze River. A long port was built with wooden piles on the shore. All the ships were connected end to end, compactly Stitched together, only in this way the fleet will not be swept away by water and wind.
"Captain."
Ling Tong said very unwillingly: "If we persist, we may"
Zhou Yu shook his head: "It's useless, they suddenly came to reinforce the camp, and they are sticking to the camp. We didn't bring heavy equipment, so it was difficult to get in. Besides, it was already dark, if we don't withdraw, the consequences will be disastrous."
Ling Tong sighed, "Then we can't do anything about them?"
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Haven't we already breached their river bank? When we come back next time, bring equipment, and their camp will naturally be unable to defend."
"That's true."
Ling Tong's spirit lifted, and he felt much more at ease.
The fleet quickly returned to the pier, and the generals at all levels issued orders to let the soldiers tie up the ropes, tie up all the ships, connect the boats with iron cables, and pull them to the north of the river.
Zhou Yu got off the building boat and suddenly felt a slight chill. Turning around again, he saw the flag on the building boat behind him fluttering gently, but the direction it was flying was northwest!
The southeast wind is getting stronger and stronger.
Could it be rejuvenation?
Zhou Yu thought to herself.
As a native of Jiangdong, he naturally knows that every spring and summer, Jiangdong will blow southeast wind.
But usually spring doesn't start until January and February, but this year it's a month earlier than usual.
After the north wind stopped before, the breeze was southeast for a few days, and Zhou Yu didn't care at that time.
Now it seems, will it become a gale?
if it is like this..
Zhou Yu frowned, looked at the fleet of fleets, thought for a moment, and said to Ling Tong beside him: "The order is to send more scouts to patrol the river at night, and more patrol soldiers and left-behind troops on the river bank, be careful. "
"only."
Ling Tong took the order and left.
After Zhou Yu gave the order, surrounded by his personal guards, he left towards the camp.
But don't know why.
He always felt a bad premonition.
seem.
In these two days, something big will happen.
"I hope I'm over-hearted."
Zhou Yu shook his head and returned to the camp to prepare for the defense tasks of the battalions tonight.
In the evening, the southeast wind, which had been only a breeze for several days, became stronger and stronger, and the flags fluttered more and more powerfully, and were even blown to make a high-pitched sound.
Two hours later, at midnight, the wind picked up.
When the wind blew, huge waves appeared on the surface of the Yangtze River, slapping the river bank, and the waves were turbulent.
The fleet of the Jiangxia Navy is also setting off in mighty darkness!
tonight.
It's a fine day for a fire.
The situation has improved a lot in the past two days, and the sequelae are almost gone. It’s just that the end of the year is approaching, and I’m going back to my hometown right away. There are too many things, and the update is still not enough. After it stabilizes, I promise to restore ten thousand updates. I will put it on the shelf from October to December. , 10 months, at least 12 words per day, this state must be maintained, and I want to finish the book as soon as possible in the first half of this year and start a new journey.
(End of this chapter)
On December 13th of the [-]th year of Jian'an, the north wind that lasted for three to four months finally stopped.
The weather seemed to be getting milder.
It seems that the early spring is approaching, the temperature is getting warmer, everything is taking root and sprouting, and the long-lost sunshine dispels the cloudy clouds and shines on the earth.
