The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 33: Wolf Poison Smoke has no moral principles, and people cross the Jiangdong River

Gan Ning is the only one Luo Yuan can use now, and he wishes Zhao Yun was here.

After thinking for a while, he said, "He is my only general. You should use him wisely. When Zhou Yu's army is in chaos, the enemy troops in Chaisang Port will certainly reinforce Zhou Yu. The port will be empty by then. You can seize the opportunity to occupy Chaisang Port. I will hold back the Jiangdong army for you. Then you can go straight to Chaisang. When you get to Chaisang, I will give you something. When you get to Chaisang, throw it in. You have also seen how to make a catapult!"

Trebuchets were very advanced equipment at that time. Only Cao Cao's army had used them in the north, and there were very few in the south.

The basis of making a trebuchet is mathematics, how to balance the weight, how to launch, etc.

These things are high-tech for this era, but Luo Yuan solved them easily. It was just a matter of calculation!

Gan Ning nodded as he listened. Luo Yuan said, "After completing the mission, come back immediately. Don't delay!"

On the second day, Zhou Yu's navy appeared on the river. Luo Yuan didn't even say hello and directly ordered the catapults to attack.

The sound of rocks falling was heard in Zhou Yu's army!
There's no need for accuracy at all, Zhou Yu's fleet covers the entire surface of the water, just smash it!
The huge rock fell on the boat and created a big hole that could not be repaired at all. Zhou Yu's army had continuous shipwrecks. While they were salvaging soldiers, they watched Luo Yuan jumping up and down.

"Keep going until all our rocks are gone."

The catapults on the ship kept working, and the soldiers operating the catapults felt like they were playing. As long as they loaded the stones and cut the ropes, the stones would fly out.

The soldiers looked at Luo Yuan and thought he was a god.

With a thud, a stone fell on Zhou Yu's deck, and immediately a hole was created.

Zhou Yu was furious: "Luo Yuan is a thief who has colluded with Cao Cao. He is Cao Cao's man. I must find Liu Bei to ask him about this!"

Huang Gai and the others were a little dumbfounded. How could a naval battle be played like this? They didn't know what a catapult was. They just felt terrified.

Naval battles have always been fought by two armies shooting arrows at each other from their boats. Now, if they were to shoot at each other, Luo Yuan would shoot at them, and Jiangdong's arrows would not be able to reach Luo Yuan's side.

It’s against the wind!
The soldiers of Jiangdong shot very hard, but the arrows were blown back as soon as they flew up.

Zhou Yu originally wanted to fight a close combat. In that case, Luo Yuan would have no choice but to fight him head-on. After all, most of Luo Yuan's men were civilians and had no idea how to fight.

Only about 10,000 people can be used for fighting.

In an unfavorable environment, Zhou Yu could not perform at all.

With the help of the catapult, Zhou Yu was completely stunned.

Huang Gai said: "General, the situation is not favorable to us, why don't we withdraw our troops temporarily!"

Zhou Yu asked, "How could Luo Gongqi give us a chance to retreat?"

Luo Yuan has already ordered the fire ships to be launched!
Zhou Yu was not worried, because the Jiangdong soldiers were proficient in naval warfare and knew how to deal with fireboats. However, he still regretted that he should not have chosen to start a war with Luo Yuan today!
He originally wanted to rely on the Jiangdong navy's expertise in naval warfare to bully Luo Yuan, but now he's being bullied instead.

Zhou Yu sneered, "If you want to use fire attack, Luo Gongqi is no match for you. Our army is familiar with water battles, so how can such a thing be useful... What?"

Before he could finish his words, Zhou Yu realized something was wrong!
As Luo Yuan's fireboat sailed downstream, black smoke emerged. The smoke formed a tornado, and with the help of a strong wind, it actually filled the entire surface of the water!
In just a moment, the smoke enveloped the fleet in front of him. The soldiers on the ships went crazy and fell into the Yangtze River groaning in pain.

The dead soldier's face turned black, he was foaming at the mouth and twitching!
In the blink of an eye, most of the soldiers on the boat ahead had died, and even white-bellied fish were surging on the surface of the river!

Huang Gai was shocked: "The black smoke is poisonous!" Without Huang Gai's words, Zhou Yu had already realized that Luo Gong did not use fire attack, but poison attack!

Zhou Yu was furious: "Luo Gongqi is crazy and mad, really crazy and mad!"

Zhou Yu lay on the railing of the boat, watching his soldiers slowly dying in the poisonous smoke, his eyes wide open, wishing he could bite Luo Yuan to death!

Huang Gai no longer cared about Zhou Yu, and quickly ordered his soldiers to move to the two banks. The poisonous smoke was mainly on the central surface of the river, but less on the two banks.

Luo Yuan didn't have much wolfsbane smoke, and he almost used it up this time. He used 300 kilograms and gave the remaining 200 kilograms to Gan Ning.

Watching Zhou Yu's fleet approaching the two banks, Luo Yuan waved his flag, and twelve ships served as arrows, leading the endless fleet downstream.

When Zhu Ling, the defender of Chaisang Port, saw that something happened to Zhou Yu, he was shocked. He thought that Zhou Yu would definitely be able to make Luo Yuan give in, but Zhou Yu's formation was disrupted in just a short while.

Zhu Ling quickly took the boat away from the dock to rescue Zhou Yu.

Gan Ning said excitedly: "I will set off now. The troops from Chaisang Port are coming out. Gongqi, you are amazing!"

Luo Yuan said: "Now I have divided the Jiangdong navy. I have ordered the large ships to stay horizontally and the archers to shoot arrows freely. I have also ordered everyone on the ships to start throwing stones when they get close to the Jiangdong army."

Luo Yuan had too few people to use, but there were many civilians on the boat, and there were also a lot of stones. The fleet went downstream and there was no need for any personnel to operate it, it could just smash the stones.

negotiation?

Only when I give you face is it called negotiation. If I don’t give you face, it’s called war!

After Gan Ning helped Luo Yuan pass on the order, he led his men to attack Chaisang Port. Zhu Ling saw that it was too late to turn back. Gan Ning was going downstream, so it was too late for him to turn back. Moreover, Luo Yuan's army was right in front of him.

If he turned back now, he would be hunted down. Zhu Ling made up his mind and ignored Gan Ning and joined the battlefield.

Luo Yuan was naturally not polite. One hundred thousand people threw stones, and it was like rain. The catapults were loaded with full of broken stones, which fell directly on the heads of the Jiangdong soldiers.

Zhou Yu cursed: "Luo Gongqi, you have lost all conscience. Come out and fight me to the death!"

"Gongjin, if you hadn't been such a talker, how could Jiangdong be in its current state?" Luo Yuan looked at Zhou Yu clearly on his boat.

What a handsome and heroic guy!
Humph, you already have a Xiao Qiao as your wife, you should be satisfied, why are you still talking so much?
Luo Yuan said with a smile: "Gongjin, the fault of today's battle is yours. You still want to fight to the death with me. Now that my army has the upper hand, why should I fight to the death with you? I still have signal fire. If I give you a little more food, you will definitely die today."

Huang Gai was shocked and said quickly: "Gongqi, Gongqi, we have no intention of starting a war with the emperor's uncle, please let us go this time!"

Thinking about those soldiers who were poisoned to death, Huang Gai knew that if the fighting continued, the Jiangdong navy would be finished!
Luo Gongqi is so cruel!
The first ship in front of them that encountered the poisonous fog had no soldiers left!

The preliminary estimate is that 20,000 people died!

Zhou Yu was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said nothing!

Luo Yuan said: "If I had known this would happen, I would not have done it in the first place. I gave Jiangdong dignity, but you refused to accept it!"

"Yes, it's Gongqi, we know we were wrong!" Huang Gai said hurriedly.
