Chapter 160 Floating troops attack the camp
Taihu Lake, Fujiao Mountain.
Zhou Yu climbed the mountain and looked up. His handsome face looked towards the lake, which was the same color as the sky. The river wind was strong, and his white robe was flying, like a beautiful woman left behind and independent.The name Jiangzuo Zhoulang is not an empty lie!
If we say that Huo Junying is full of energy, he also has the style of a Confucian general.As a descendant of the Zhou family in Shucheng, Zhou Yu came from a pure family of a scholar-bureaucrat. He was more elegant and Confucian, but he was also fond of military affairs since he was a child, which made Zhou Yu somewhat murderous.
If we compare the appearance of the two, Zhou Yu is slightly more handsome than Huo Jun, and he has a Confucian spirit.However, Huo Jun is slender and stronger than Zhou Yu. He has a masculine and heroic aura due to his martial arts experience.
"Zi Jing!"
Zhou Yu stood with his sword in his hands, pointing to the country and saying: "During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu and Yue fought three times at Lize. King Wu Fu Chai was a man of great talent, and he won the second time, almost annihilating Yue. King Gou Jian of Yue suppressed his words, and won the first battle, destroying Wu."
As he spoke, Zhou Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said: "The strength of our enemy now is just like that of Wu and Yue back then. Liu Bei relied on his strong troops and went deep into Lize. Our army is waiting for work at ease, and we will definitely win."
Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu and said, "Huo Jun rushed thousands of miles to attack Jingkou. If he waits for him to pacify the counties south of the Yangtze River, lead his navy into Lize, and join forces with Liu Bei, I wonder how Gong Jin can win?"
After hearing what Lu Su said, Zhou Yu suppressed his smile and was quite worried about Huo Jun.
He personally inspected the Jingkou city defense.The idea of building a beacon tower was not only Sun Yu's, but also finalized by him himself.Therefore, he was very confident in the defense of Jingkou City. He even thought about how he would lead his troops to attack Jingkou City if he were Huo Jun.
Zhou Yu thought for a long time and finally decided that there was no strategy. The only way to break through Jingkou City was to attack by force.However, the defense of Jingkou City, which in his eyes was almost impeccable, could not survive for a day under Huo Jun.
If you don't look at Huo Jun's fancy operations, just look at the time of using troops.Huo Jun lingered in Wancheng for more than a month, and then took Jingkou City in one day. Such use of troops was like a man from heaven.
Such a powerful enemy made Zhou Yu feel tremendous pressure.Of course, Zhou Yu was not one to give up easily, and he looked confident.
"It is indeed difficult for Huo Jun and Liu Bei to win together, but there is only Liu Bei's army now. If we don't attack now, then when will we wait!" Zhou Yu said confidently: "Liu Bei went deep into Wuhui and stationed troops in Qiucheng and Qiantang Guxuan. Our army gathered in the lake. , waiting for work at leisure. The enemy is in the light, and I am in the dark. Attack the enemy at night and burn them with fire, and we will definitely win."
Zhou Yu's eyes fell on Lu Su and said in a deep voice: "Defeat Liu Bei and cut off his return. Huo Jun's entry into Lize is like a moth flying into a flame."
Looking into the distance, Zhou Yu was filled with energy in his Dantian, stood up with his sword in hand, and said heroically: "Above Lize, it will be the place where Liu Bei and Huo Jun were defeated, and it will also be the time when someone will become famous!"
Lu Su felt that the long-simmering emotions in Zhou Yu's heart were gushing out. The desire to win and the dissatisfaction suppressed in his heart were revealed with Zhou Yu's words.
Zhou Yu is not an incompetent person. The unfavorable situation in the past few years has made him feel quite constrained.The attack on Pengze was unfavorable, but he turned to attack Huangzu and won, and Zhou Yu reversed the situation; due to the Danyang mutiny, Yishan was defeated, and the situation became critical.
Now in order to win, he did not hesitate to persuade Sun Quan to abandon the outer city, lure the enemy deep into the enemy's territory, and then use the navy to annihilate Liu Bei.Sun Quan was persuaded by Zhou Yu and adopted his strategy, and he rewarded his master with success.
Huo Jun can plan the layout, but Zhou Yu can't?
When you meet a true confidant, you can rely on the righteousness of your ruler and ministers on the outside, and the kindness of your flesh and blood on the inside. That's it!
Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu blankly. After a long time, he came back to his senses, bowed his waist and cupped his hands and said, "We are sincerely awaiting the news of the success of the Governor!"
There are thousands of boats and thousands of armored soldiers. These are the men and horses Sun Quan gave to Zhou Yu.Moreover, Sun Quan appointed Zhou Yu as the governor and Cheng Pu as the deputy governor to control the generals.
Lize, Jingzhou Army Camp.
The moonlight in the sky is bright, shining coldly on the rivers and lakes, like a silver snake.The bonfire in the camp is bright, and the orange light dispels the darkness, making it as bright as day.
In the big tent, Liu Bei and everyone were discussing the battle report from Huo Jun, and they were marveling at Huo Jun's military operations.
Liu Qi was dumbfounded and said: "Zhongmiao held the beauty in his arms for more than a month and spent a day running from Wancheng to Jingkou, a thousand miles away. During this period, he captured the Baili Beacon Tower and the Jingkou Fortress. Such use of troops is unheard of."
Liu Bei shook his head. This was the first time he had heard of this method of using troops.If Huo Jun took advantage of the low tide of the Anhui River last time to capture Xia Houyuan and Sun Yu, now he used Cao Jun's grain transport team to attack the beacon tower. Moreover, in the summer when the river rose, he traveled thousands of miles by boat to seize the city in one day.
Zhuge Liang stroked his feather fan gently and said with emotion: "If Zhong Miao doesn't move his troops, it will be enough. Once he moves his troops, it will be a surprise. The troops advance like lightning. They don't cover their ears. They use all their hands to ambush and defeat the target. It's hard to guard against. That's it. Fighting, we only know Zhongmiao's strategy of taking his wife and arrogant enemy, but we don't know what his intention is!"
After a pause, Zhuge Liang said: "When it comes to the wonders of water warfare, Zhong Miao is second to none, and very few people can match it!"
This is Huo Jun's military habit. He doesn't like to confront the enemy for a long time.Instead, he likes to look for opportunities to fight, suddenly arriving on the battlefield, and advancing his troops like the wind, thereby defeating his opponent.
As for why we don’t like long-term confrontations with the enemy, the main reason is that if the two armies hold out for a long time, and the attacker cannot attack for a long time, it will easily lead to the loss of the troops’ front and the frustration of their vigor.Moreover, long-term consumption of supplies will waste money and harm the people. After all, the protracted war cannot be beneficial to the participating countries.
Just like Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang faced each other several times, Sima Yi saw that he could not defeat Zhuge Liang, so he chose to defend without fighting, and was forced to kill Zhuge Liang in Wuzhangyuan.From a war perspective, Sima Yi could not defeat Zhuge Liang. Even if he wore women's clothing, he would be afraid of the enemy and avoid fighting.If we switch to Cao Wei's perspective, there is no doubt that Sima Yi is the winner, and the enemy commander died because of him.Sima Yi won without a fight.
Zhang Fei clicked his tongue, admiring Huo Jun's skill in using troops.
"The general is outside, and the emperor's orders are not accepted." Liu Qi showed the battle report and said with a wry smile: "Only Qi and his uncle could stop Zhong Miao from using troops. Fortunately, Kong Ming persuaded him, otherwise Zhong Miao's plan would be difficult to achieve."
Obviously after experiencing this battle, Liu Qi's understanding of Huo Jun's abilities has improved.He has deeply understood that the only person who can stop his god-like teammates is himself, a leader who knows nothing about tactics.
Liu Qi sighed with emotion for a while and then said excitedly: "Uncle, now Zhongmiao is attacking Jingkou. When he enters Lize, the two armies will unite and advance by land and water. Why worry about Sun Quan not being destroyed!"
Liu Bei nodded slightly and said: "The army east of the Yangtze River is hidden now. It must be hidden in Lize. When Zhongmiao leads the navy troops to arrive, he will take Fujiao Mountain, and our army will go south around Lize and cross Cross Songjiang and take Wu County. By then all Lize will be in my hands, and Sun Quan will have nowhere to escape."
With that said, Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "Kong Ming, why do you think so?"
Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time and said: "Our army can know the news about Zhongmiao's capture of Jingkou. How can Sun Quan and Zhou Yu's army not know about it?"
"It will be difficult to win if the two armies unite. In order to win, Zhou Yu may attack Zhongmiao from the north or attack our army. Therefore, Liang thought that our army should be careful to avoid giving the enemy an opportunity."
"it is good!"
Liu Bei ordered: "We will send additional patrols tonight, and the checkpoints outside the camp must not be relaxed. Tomorrow, we will order our soldiers to go up the mountain to cut wood and strengthen the fortifications."
"promise!"
……
After the military meeting, everyone dispersed and returned to camp to rest.
A few clouds covered the moon, and the night became darker.Only the Jingzhou Military Camp next to Lize was brightly lit, patrols in armor were constantly passing by, and insects were chirping non-stop.
"The general has an order, please wait and guard more carefully."
"You are not allowed to sleep secretly, otherwise you will be punished by military law."
Liu Fu, the military commander in charge of inspection, came to the checkpoint outside the camp and kept giving instructions.
"promise!"
The soldiers did not dare to relax and responded in unison.
Before he finished speaking, the soldier standing at the top of the checkpoint suddenly noticed something, pointed to the bright spot on the lakeside, and shouted loudly: "It seems that there are enemy troops on the lake."
"what!"
Liu Fu, who was patrolling and keeping vigil at night, climbed to the high point in three steps and two steps at a time. He saw that there seemed to be more and more firelight on the lakeside, and there was the sound of war drums in the distance.
"Enemy attack!"
With his head shaking, Liu Fu shouted: "Horn!"
"Someone is coming, please inform the general immediately."
"promise!"
After Liu Pan got the news, he quickly ordered people to notify Liu Bei and Liu Qi of the Chinese Army.
"Lord!"
Taishi Heng broke into the tent, pushed Liu Bei who had just fallen asleep, and called out: "There is an urgent military report!"
Liu Bei was awakened by Tai Shi Heng's voice. He squinted his eyes and asked sleepily: "Yuan Fu, what's important?"
Taishi Heng handed over a bowl of cold water and said: "General Guo'an, I heard that Jiangdong's army came ashore on the lakeside, and there was a loud sound of drums on the lake."
"what?"
Liu Bei's mind was now clear, and he hurriedly put on his shoes. With the help of Tai Shiheng, he put on his armor and hurried out of the camp.At this time, Zhuge Liang, who received the news, was also wearing his outer robe and hurriedly leaving the tent.
"Kong Ming!"
"Lord!"
After a while, Liu Pan sent his No. 2 attendant to arrive and said: "Liu Yuzhou, there are a large number of Jiangdong soldiers and horses coming from the direction of our army. The drums are beating non-stop, with the intention of attacking our army. My general has ordered the soldiers to get up." , prepare the army for battle."
"uncle!"
Liu Qi arrived late in his outer robe and said: "Jiangdong Army intends to attack Guoan at night, so we should send troops to rescue them." The Jingzhou Army camped on the back of the mountain and near the lake. Liu Bei led the central army in the middle, Zhang Fei's troops were stationed in the right camp, and Liu Pan Stationed troops in Zuoying.Liu Pan's troops were close to the river, so they needed to defend the lake front and the river on the flanks.Most of Zhang Fei's generals were from the Central Plains and were stationed at the foot of Bian Mountain.
"My lord, what the eldest son said makes sense." Sun Qian said: "Jiangdong's army has been hiding in the lake and has not appeared for a long time. Now it sends troops to attack at night with the intention of destroying our army. Moreover, General Guo'an's camp is close to the river, and his flanks are vulnerable to attack. , must be saved.”
"Wait a minute!"
Zhuge Liang held down Liu Bei's hand about sending troops and said: "As Mr. Sun said, the Jiangdong Army has not shown up for a long time. There must be a plan for sending troops today. And if they attack our army at night, how can they be so grand? Liang thinks there must be a mystery in it." .”
Liu Bei regained his composure and asked, "What do Kong Ming think?"
Zhuge Liang stood on tiptoe and looked at Liu Pan's camp and said: "My lord, let General Guo'an quickly organize his troops, divide them into formations, and carry out a strategy of attacking halfway across the country. Our Chinese army and General Yide must not move lightly to prevent Jiangdong's sergeant from getting behind. .”
"it is good!"
Liu Bei pondered for a while and then ordered: "Zhou Yu has always had a plan, and he will not act so simply. Let Guoan divide his troops to defend against the enemy, and the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army will be on guard. If there is anything unusual, they should rush to rescue them."
"promise!"
On the lake, Zhou Yu stood on the boat and looked at the Jingzhou Army camp.
"Captain, according to Kuaizhou's investigation, only Liu Pan's camp has troops mobilized, and the other two camps are seriously preparing for war." the scout reported.
Zhou Yu waved his hand and ordered: "Beat the drums and attack Zhang Fei's camp!"
"promise!"
After a while, thunderous drum beats came from the lakeside opposite Zhang Fei's camp.A large amount of firelight lit up from the lake flanking Zhang Fei, as if he was crossing the lake to go ashore and flank Zhang Fei.
"Call the crossbowmen!"
Zhang Fei, who had already woken up, started kicking and kicking in the camp to make the defensive crossbowmen move faster.
Then, Zhang Fei grabbed the attendant's collar with his hand and shouted: "Send the order to the Chinese army, saying that the enemy invaders are attacking our camp and that some sergeants have come ashore."
"promise!"
Under the dark night, the Jingzhou Army camp was bustling with people and extremely noisy. Some people could not find their commanders, and some were at a loss.But overall, the Jingzhou Army was able to face the sudden attack of the Jiangdong Army, and no camp roar occurred.
"My lord, General Zhang's camp was attacked by Jiangdong's army. The drums outside the camp were thundering. I don't know how many enemy invaders there are." the scout reported.
Liu Bei watched the situation of the second camp on the left and right, feeling a little at a loss.Looking at the seemingly dead night, I felt quite uneasy.
Liu Bei clenched the hilt of his sword and said, "The Yide and Guoan [-]nd Battalions are under attack. Should we rescue them?"
After a pause, Liu Bei expressed his concerns again and said: "The Jiangdong navy attacked the two battalions on the left and right of our army. The Chinese army was near the water but did not attack. It is very strange."
The feather fan in Zhuge Liang's hand stopped and he said in a deep voice: "In Liang's opinion, Zhou Yu should take our army's camp."
With that said, Zhuge Liang spread his hands and said: "My lord, Zhou Yu's storming the left camp is a feint attack, with the intention of attracting our central army to divide his troops to rescue him; attacking our right camp is also a feint attack, trying to divert the remaining troops of our central army. . Our army divides its forces to rescue him, just like showing his arms, his fists are out, his heart is empty."
Liu Bei also suddenly realized it, pounded his palms with his fists, and said, "Bei understands!"
"Zhou Yu floated his troops on the lake and faced our camp. He used golden drums and torches on both wings to bluff and pretend to attack the second camp of our army. When our central army divides his troops to rescue him, he will lead his army to take advantage of the weakness and attack our central camp fiercely. camp."
"Exactly!"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "My lord, please order the crossbowmen to line up on the wall of the camp. If they wait for an enemy ship, use their crossbows to fire at them."
"Uncle Zhi led the white soldiers to reinforce the front camp." Liu Bei ordered.
"promise!"
Under the military order, Chen Dao led a thousand white soldiers armed with strong bows and crossbows to the camp wall in front of Taihu Lake.His eyes were fixed on the dark lake, and he held the crossbow in his hand.
Suddenly, the foot soldiers on the observation deck shouted: "There is a boat on the lake, and there are people on the boat!"
Chen Dao's black eyes seemed to have discovered something. The clouds drifted away and the moonlight fell down. He saw a large number of ships floating on the lake. There were densely packed people on the bows, and there were no one knows how many enemies there were.There is no sound of drums or firelight, and it looks like a ghost. It is difficult for people with poor eyesight to spot it.
With his scalp numb, Chen Dao shouted loudly: "Shoot arrows and don't allow the enemy to approach the shore!"
"promise!"
Countless arrows streaked through the darkness, carrying the sound of howling wind, and landed on the ships under the night.
"what!"
Several screams of arrows were heard, followed by more sounds of arrows hitting the hull and wood.There were also many arrows flying out of the ship and falling into the Chinese army camp.In this way, the two sides started shooting at each other, arrows flew everywhere, and screams were heard from time to time, which was quite lively.
"Lord!"
Taishi Heng came back with the battle report and gasped: "As the military advisor expected, Zhou Yu ordered his men to cross the lake at night, without the sound of drums or fire, to raid our camp. Now Colonel Chen and Lieutenant Liu led The archers and crossbowmen fired a volley to block the enemy on the lake and prevent them from getting closer."
"it is good!"
Liu Qi clapped his hands and laughed, and said: "Kong Ming expected the enemy to be ahead of him. Although Zhou Yu is good at military strategy, he will still be defeated by Kong Ming."
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Kong Ming should be remembered for his great contribution!"
Compared to everyone's happiness, Zhuge Liang grabbed Tai Shiheng and asked about the battle situation, and said: "Yuan Fu, how is the battle situation ahead?"
Taishi Heng pondered for a while and then told the story: "I am reporting to the military advisor that there are a large number of boats floating on the lake, and there are dense crowds of people on the boats. Our army fired at them with bows and crossbows, and the enemy responded with bows and crossbows. The two armies kept firing at each other."
"Are there any enemy ships coming in?" Zhuge Liang asked.
Tai Shiheng shook his head and said: "The enemy ships never approached, perhaps because the crossbows were too powerful and they did not dare to approach."
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang frowned, seeming to be thinking about something.
Seeing this, Liu Bei asked curiously: "Kong Ming expected Zhou Yu to arrange it, but why didn't he look solemn?"
Zhuge Liang stopped his feather fan again and said: "My lord, the boats are rushing to attack the camp. Instead of advancing quickly, they are shooting at our army. This is very strange!"
"As Yuan Fu said, there are too many bows and crossbows, so we dare not get close." Liu Bei said.
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "When Zhong Miao attacked to take Chaisang, his boats were as fast as thunder. The men who climbed first took the city, and they were supplemented by archers and crossbowmen. There were shields among them to block the arrows."
"In Kong Ming's opinion?" Liu Bei asked.
Zhuge Liang held a fan in his hand and said firmly: "This is not Zhou Yu's real back trick, there is a mystery in it."
"Zhou Yu floated his troops on the lakeside!"
Then, something flashed through Zhuge Liang's mind and he shouted: "General Guoan's camp is in danger."
"Lord, send someone to rescue Zuoying quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a scout came running over and said: "Reporting to the Second Duke, the left camp was fiercely attacked by Jiangdong's sergeants. General Liu's troops were divided into two and could no longer resist. Now they have been invaded by Jiangdong's sergeants."
While he was talking, fireworks were everywhere in Zuoying, and there were constant shouts of killing.
On Taihu Lake, Zhou Yu looked at the Jingzhou Army camp with piercing eyes, sneered, and whispered: "You can escape today, but you can't escape tomorrow."
As he spoke, Zhou Yu looked up at the moon and said to himself: "My subordinates and Quanrou must have sent out troops, and Liu Bei will have no way to escape!"
In the central army, Liu Bei put his hand on the hilt of his sword and said with a serious expression: "The National Security Army camp has been attacked. We should rescue it."
"Wait a minute!"
Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and said, "It's hopeless!"
"Why?" everyone asked in surprise.
Two in one!

Liu Bei's mind was now clear, and he hurriedly put on his shoes. With the help of Tai Shiheng, he put on his armor and hurried out of the camp.At this time, Zhuge Liang, who received the news, was also wearing his outer robe and hurriedly leaving the tent.
"Kong Ming!"
"Lord!"
After a while, Liu Pan sent his No. 2 attendant to arrive and said: "Liu Yuzhou, there are a large number of Jiangdong soldiers and horses coming from the direction of our army. The drums are beating non-stop, with the intention of attacking our army. My general has ordered the soldiers to get up." , prepare the army for battle."
"uncle!"
Liu Qi arrived late in his outer robe and said: "Jiangdong Army intends to attack Guoan at night, so we should send troops to rescue them." The Jingzhou Army camped on the back of the mountain and near the lake. Liu Bei led the central army in the middle, Zhang Fei's troops were stationed in the right camp, and Liu Pan Stationed troops in Zuoying.Liu Pan's troops were close to the river, so they needed to defend the lake front and the river on the flanks.Most of Zhang Fei's generals were from the Central Plains and were stationed at the foot of Bian Mountain.
"My lord, what the eldest son said makes sense." Sun Qian said: "Jiangdong's army has been hiding in the lake and has not appeared for a long time. Now it sends troops to attack at night with the intention of destroying our army. Moreover, General Guo'an's camp is close to the river, and his flanks are vulnerable to attack. , must be saved.”
"Wait a minute!"
Zhuge Liang held down Liu Bei's hand about sending troops and said: "As Mr. Sun said, the Jiangdong Army has not shown up for a long time. There must be a plan for sending troops today. And if they attack our army at night, how can they be so grand? Liang thinks there must be a mystery in it." .”
Liu Bei regained his composure and asked, "What do Kong Ming think?"
Zhuge Liang stood on tiptoe and looked at Liu Pan's camp and said: "My lord, let General Guo'an quickly organize his troops, divide them into formations, and carry out a strategy of attacking halfway across the country. Our Chinese army and General Yide must not move lightly to prevent Jiangdong's sergeant from getting behind. .”
"it is good!"
Liu Bei pondered for a while and then ordered: "Zhou Yu has always had a plan, and he will not act so simply. Let Guoan divide his troops to defend against the enemy, and the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army will be on guard. If there is anything unusual, they should rush to rescue them."
"promise!"
On the lake, Zhou Yu stood on the boat and looked at the Jingzhou Army camp.
"Captain, according to Kuaizhou's investigation, only Liu Pan's camp has troops mobilized, and the other two camps are seriously preparing for war." the scout reported.
Zhou Yu waved his hand and ordered: "Beat the drums and attack Zhang Fei's camp!"
"promise!"
After a while, thunderous drum beats came from the lakeside opposite Zhang Fei's camp.A large amount of firelight lit up from the lake flanking Zhang Fei, as if he was crossing the lake to go ashore and flank Zhang Fei.
"Call the crossbowmen!"
Zhang Fei, who had already woken up, started kicking and kicking in the camp to make the defensive crossbowmen move faster.
Then, Zhang Fei grabbed the attendant's collar with his hand and shouted: "Send the order to the Chinese army, saying that the enemy invaders are attacking our camp and that some sergeants have come ashore."
"promise!"
Under the dark night, the Jingzhou Army camp was bustling with people and extremely noisy. Some people could not find their commanders, and some were at a loss.But overall, the Jingzhou Army was able to face the sudden attack of the Jiangdong Army, and no camp roar occurred.
"My lord, General Zhang's camp was attacked by Jiangdong's army. The drums outside the camp were thundering. I don't know how many enemy invaders there are." the scout reported.
Liu Bei watched the situation of the second camp on the left and right, feeling a little at a loss.Looking at the seemingly dead night, I felt quite uneasy.
Liu Bei clenched the hilt of his sword and said, "The Yide and Guoan [-]nd Battalions are under attack. Should we rescue them?"
After a pause, Liu Bei expressed his concerns again and said: "The Jiangdong navy attacked the two battalions on the left and right of our army. The Chinese army was near the water but did not attack. It is very strange."
The feather fan in Zhuge Liang's hand stopped and he said in a deep voice: "In Liang's opinion, Zhou Yu should take our army's camp."
With that said, Zhuge Liang spread his hands and said: "My lord, Zhou Yu's storming the left camp is a feint attack, with the intention of attracting our central army to divide his troops to rescue him; attacking our right camp is also a feint attack, trying to divert the remaining troops of our central army. . Our army divides its forces to rescue him, just like showing his arms, his fists are out, his heart is empty."
Liu Bei also suddenly realized it, pounded his palms with his fists, and said, "Bei understands!"
"Zhou Yu floated his troops on the lake and faced our camp. He used golden drums and torches on both wings to bluff and pretend to attack the second camp of our army. When our central army divides his troops to rescue him, he will lead his army to take advantage of the weakness and attack our central camp fiercely. camp."
"Exactly!"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "My lord, please order the crossbowmen to line up on the wall of the camp. If they wait for an enemy ship, use their crossbows to fire at them."
"Uncle Zhi led the white soldiers to reinforce the front camp." Liu Bei ordered.
"promise!"
Under the military order, Chen Dao led a thousand white soldiers armed with strong bows and crossbows to the camp wall in front of Taihu Lake.His eyes were fixed on the dark lake, and he held the crossbow in his hand.
Suddenly, the foot soldiers on the observation deck shouted: "There is a boat on the lake, and there are people on the boat!"
Chen Dao's black eyes seemed to have discovered something. The clouds drifted away and the moonlight fell down. He saw a large number of ships floating on the lake. There were densely packed people on the bows, and there were no one knows how many enemies there were.There is no sound of drums or firelight, and it looks like a ghost. It is difficult for people with poor eyesight to spot it.
With his scalp numb, Chen Dao shouted loudly: "Shoot arrows and don't allow the enemy to approach the shore!"
"promise!"
Countless arrows streaked through the darkness, carrying the sound of howling wind, and landed on the ships under the night.
"what!"
Several screams of arrows were heard, followed by more sounds of arrows hitting the hull and wood.There were also many arrows flying out of the ship and falling into the Chinese army camp.In this way, the two sides started shooting at each other, arrows flew everywhere, and screams were heard from time to time, which was quite lively.
"Lord!"
Taishi Heng came back with the battle report and gasped: "As the military advisor expected, Zhou Yu ordered his men to cross the lake at night, without the sound of drums or fire, to raid our camp. Now Colonel Chen and Lieutenant Liu led The archers and crossbowmen fired a volley to block the enemy on the lake and prevent them from getting closer."
"it is good!"
Liu Qi clapped his hands and laughed, and said: "Kong Ming expected the enemy to be ahead of him. Although Zhou Yu is good at military strategy, he will still be defeated by Kong Ming."
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Kong Ming should be remembered for his great contribution!"
Compared to everyone's happiness, Zhuge Liang grabbed Tai Shiheng and asked about the battle situation, and said: "Yuan Fu, how is the battle situation ahead?"
Taishi Heng pondered for a while and then told the story: "I am reporting to the military advisor that there are a large number of boats floating on the lake, and there are dense crowds of people on the boats. Our army fired at them with bows and crossbows, and the enemy responded with bows and crossbows. The two armies kept firing at each other."
"Are there any enemy ships coming in?" Zhuge Liang asked.
Tai Shiheng shook his head and said: "The enemy ships never approached, perhaps because the crossbows were too powerful and they did not dare to approach."
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang frowned, seeming to be thinking about something.
Seeing this, Liu Bei asked curiously: "Kong Ming expected Zhou Yu to arrange it, but why didn't he look solemn?"
Zhuge Liang stopped his feather fan again and said: "My lord, the boats are rushing to attack the camp. Instead of advancing quickly, they are shooting at our army. This is very strange!"
"As Yuan Fu said, there are too many bows and crossbows, so we dare not get close." Liu Bei said.
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "When Zhong Miao attacked to take Chaisang, his boats were as fast as thunder. The men who climbed first took the city, and they were supplemented by archers and crossbowmen. There were shields among them to block the arrows."
"In Kong Ming's opinion?" Liu Bei asked.
Zhuge Liang held a fan in his hand and said firmly: "This is not Zhou Yu's real back trick, there is a mystery in it."
"Zhou Yu floated his troops on the lakeside!"
Then, something flashed through Zhuge Liang's mind and he shouted: "General Guoan's camp is in danger."
"Lord, send someone to rescue Zuoying quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a scout came running over and said: "Reporting to the Second Duke, the left camp was fiercely attacked by Jiangdong's sergeants. General Liu's troops were divided into two and could no longer resist. Now they have been invaded by Jiangdong's sergeants."
While he was talking, fireworks were everywhere in Zuoying, and there were constant shouts of killing.
On Taihu Lake, Zhou Yu looked at the Jingzhou Army camp with piercing eyes, sneered, and whispered: "You can escape today, but you can't escape tomorrow."
As he spoke, Zhou Yu looked up at the moon and said to himself: "My subordinates and Quanrou must have sent out troops, and Liu Bei will have no way to escape!"
In the central army, Liu Bei put his hand on the hilt of his sword and said with a serious expression: "The National Security Army camp has been attacked. We should rescue it."
"Wait a minute!"
Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and said, "It's hopeless!"
"Why?" everyone asked in surprise.
Two in one!
