Soldiers come to the world

Ding Feng raised his head and looked into the sky, and saw billowing black smoke above the woods in the distance. Fires flickered from time to time in the thick smoke, and the fireworks rushed straight into the bright and clear night sky. It should be that the Jiangxia defenders in Xiazhi County discovered them and set fire to the city.

If Xiazhi County was burned down by a fire and all the secrets were burned, what's the point of them rushing to occupy the county?Ding Feng suddenly became anxious, and shouted: "Speed ​​up!"

The boat speeded up suddenly, and the sixteen long wooden oars paddled, making the fast boat move forward like flying on the water, and the soldiers on both sides of the strait also accelerated to run, but Ding Feng was not careless because of this, he kept ordering the soldiers on both sides of the strait to pay attention to the investigation Enemy situation.

About ten miles away, there was a scream from the boat ahead, Ding Feng stood up and shouted: "What happened?"

Some soldiers shouted in horror: "General, there is something abnormal in the water!" [

Ding Feng also smelled the pungent smell. He was surprised and looked at the water surface carefully, only to see a thick layer of oily substance floating on the water surface. He reached out to fish it out, and his hands were covered with sticky oily substance. , A thought suddenly came to his mind, 'Is this kerosene? '

Ding Feng had never seen Jiang Xia's kerosene, but some of his subordinates had seen it, and someone immediately shouted: "This is kerosene, Jiang Xia's army wants to burn us!"

Ding Feng was taken aback, and he immediately ordered: "Retreat to the Yangtze River immediately!"

The fleet on the river was a little "chaotic", the boats in front started to turn around, but many boats behind were still moving forward, at this moment, a raging fire suddenly appeared on the river ahead, like a fast-moving fire dragon, The ships of the Jiangdong Army spread rapidly.

The fleet of the Jiangdong Army suddenly went into chaos, and there was a sound of exclamation. All the ships turned around and rowed northward desperately. The dozen or so ships in the front capsized one after another. swim.

'boom! With a sound, the fire engulfed more than [-] ships in front, and dozens of soldiers were swallowed by the fire in an instant, and the screams resounded across the river. , except for the twenty or so ships in front that were swallowed up, the rest of the ships escaped from the flames and rowed desperately toward the Yangtze River.

The soldiers on the shore also turned around and ran.

At this time, there were shouts of killing and drums beating like thunder not far behind. Two thousand Jiangxia soldiers, led by General Wei Yan, chased after the Jiangdong soldiers. The resentment in their hearts erupted at this moment. Everyone They all forgot the exhaustion of the march, and pursued and killed them with all their strength.

The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army were constantly being chased. Many soldiers knelt down and surrendered in fright, but Wei Yan refused to accept the surrender. He shouted: "Kill me, don't leave a single one!"

Piercing with spears, hacking with knives, and raining arrows, they shot at the boats in the river, killing Jiangdong soldiers crying. Going down the river, Jiang Xia's army chased for more than [-] miles in one breath, killing more than a thousand enemies, and then stopped the pursuit.

But the fire in the river had a greater impact on the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army. They had already been terrified. Nearly [-]% of the ships were occupied, and only about [-] soldiers remained.

Ding Feng let out a long sigh. Xu Sheng asked him to rush to Xiazhi County before Chaisang's defeated army, and take advantage of his strength to occupy Xiazhi County. Pheasant County.

Ding Feng knew that it was impossible for the army to conquer Xiazhi County with this point, and the morale was low. The soldiers were all terrified by the fire, and they all wanted to fight again. What I wanted was gone.

After thinking about it again and again, Ding Feng also wanted to fight again, and he immediately ordered: "Let's go back to Chaisang!"

The remaining one hundred or so boats quickly sailed down the river to Chaisang.

At noon the next day, Li Jun led reinforcements to Xiazhi County. He brought Liu Jing's order and ordered Wei Yan to be in charge of defending Xiazhi County and Yangxin County. Wuchang will soon add 1 troops to Xiazhi County.

At the same time, Liu Jing ordered Wei Yan to send troops to escort the people of Yangxin County to retreat to Changsha, while the 150 soldiers who mastered oil refining technology were transferred back to Wuchang County

At the same moment when Ding Feng failed to attack Xiazhi County, a fleet of fifty heavy warships sailed past Chaisang under the cover of night and headed for Pengze.

This fleet is led by General Shen Mi, and has 5000 Jiangxia navy troops. The fifty warships are all large warships of the Jiangxia army, all of which are over [-] stone in size. They are equipped with large stone cannons and trebuchets, and their attack power is very strong powerful. [

This is Jia Xu's strategy. Although Xu Sheng attacked and occupied Chaisang by surprise, he also made the mistake of emptiness in the rear. He led most of the army to Chaisang, so Peng Ze must have only a small number of soldiers guarding it, and Jiang Xia's army arrested him. Taking advantage of this loophole to counterattack Peng Ze, this actually happened once in the Chaisang War that year, and history is often so similar.

The distance from Chaisang to Pengze is about a hundred miles. If you go along the river, you can get there in one night. At dawn, the Jiangxia fleet sailed into Pengze Lake and headed for the Jiangdong water village twenty miles away.

The leading warship is the No. [-] warship of the Jiangxia Army. It has four thousand stones and is huge. Shen Mi's burly body like a cedar stands on the bow, holding a single halberd and a shield. He is Gan Ning's sworn brother. Wu Yi also learned from Gan Ning.

Although his martial arts can only be considered average on land, on water, he is known as Jiangxia's number one water warrior. Even Jinfan thief Gan Ning admits that he is not his opponent on water.

Shen Mi was extremely trusted and valued by Liu. When Liu went to Qichun to form an alliance with Sun Quan, he was Liu's personal bodyguard. Liu's respect for him was not just for him to be his bodyguard, but for him to be cultivated as hard as possible. Can block one side alone, from a titan to a titan.

However, Shen Mi was still lacking in strategy. Liu was also worried that he would make a mistake in the battle, so he asked Liao Li, a counselor, to assist him. Liao Li was about 30 years old, tall and thin, with fair skin. He was from Wuling County. He has a very good relationship with Jiang Wan.

After the Chibi War, Liu's fame spread throughout the world. Liao Li declined Liu Bei's solicitation, and came to join Liu because of his reputation. Jiang Wan gave him to Liu and worshiped him as Yilang to join the military and participate in the planning of military affairs. This time Shen Mi fought against Peng Ze alone. Worried about his lack of strategy, he asked Liao Li to go with him to assist him.

At this time, Liao Li walked forward slowly, shaking his feather fan lightly and said with a smile, "Pengze Water Village has warships on water and tents on the shore, how does the general plan to destroy them?"

Although Shen Mi was born in the Communist Party, he respects learned counselors very much. He also respects Liao Li. I."

Liao Li smiled slightly, "The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy is invincible. If you want to break the water stronghold, you must first understand the enemy's situation. If my prediction is correct, there must be patrol boats on the surface of Pengze Lake. Why didn't the general put on the Jiangdong army's battle flag and lure them to the enemy?" If they come to inquire and seize the opportunity, they can learn about the situation of the enemy army."

One sentence reminded Shen Mi, he slapped his forehead and said: "Mr. is still amazing!"

He immediately ordered all warships to be replaced with Jiangdong Army's Soochow battle flag, and a huge Jiangdong battle flag was hung on his mast, fluttering and fluttering in the river wind, and the big "Wu" character was particularly conspicuous.

Not long after, a Baishi patrol boat appeared in front of the fleet, and slowly approached the fleet. It was the patrol boat of Peng Ze's navy. Shen Mi was overjoyed. He immediately ordered a small boat to be lowered, and led several sailors to watch from an inclined angle. The boat rushed away.

There were five Jiangdong troops on the sentinel boat. They were lured by the Jiangdong battle flag and came forward to inquire, but they were surrounded by Jiangxia small boats.

At this time, the sentry boat also realized that something was wrong, and turned around to run away. Shen Mi jumped onto the sentry boat, swung out the short halberd, and slashed left and right, killing three people in a row. The other two soldiers were scared out of their wits by his ferocity. Hastily knelt down and surrendered.

Shen Mi pointed at the two with a short halberd, and ordered: "Bring these two to the big boat!"

. . . . . . . .

The scout patrol is like a double-edged sword. It can detect the enemy's intelligence and become a sharp edge to kill the enemy, but if it is used carelessly, it will also cut your own hands.

Peng Ze's patrol was such a double-edged sword. From the two patrols, Jiang Xia's army got almost all the information they wanted.

The [-] garrison went to Chaisang and [-], and there were only [-] garrisons in Pengze Water Village, nearly [-] warships moored in the water village, and the barracks on the shore were almost empty.

But what interested Shen Mi was that there was a large amount of materials stored in the barracks, including food, ordnance, and tents, etc. Most of these materials were spoils distributed by the Jiangxia Army to the Jiangdong Army during the Battle of Chibi.

Jiang Xia's army was naturally delivered in Pengze, and Jiangdong was not transported back to Jingkou, and was directly stored in Pengze's warehouse camp. [

"I only now understand Zhou Mu's vision!"

Shen Mi sighed and said: "At the beginning, the state shepherd must get the right to distribute the spoils. At first I didn't quite understand it, but now I understand how passive our actions today will be if we let the Jiangdong army get the fire oil from the Cao army. .”

Liao Li nodded, "Zhou Mu should have seen through Sun Quan's ambitions long ago and knew that this battle was inevitable, so he planned ahead and never allowed the Jiangdong Army to obtain important supplies such as kerosene."

Speaking of this, Liao Li smiled again: "Tell me about Peng Ze! General Shen has obtained the detailed situation, how is he going to fight this battle?"

Shen Mi bowed humbly and said: "I know exactly how to fight. The key is that the state pastor wants me to think more about strategy. I am really lacking in this aspect. I hope that sir can teach me!"

After speaking, he looked at Liao Li expectantly.

Liao Li liked this modest and honest young general very much, and he liked his respect for him even more. Liao Li stroked his beard and said with a smile: "In fact, the so-called strategy is to consider the overall situation. Don't focus on a battle, and don't just think about Peng Ze. Consider the overall situation, consider the impact of this battle on the entire Jiangdong Army, and at the same time allow us to obtain the greatest benefits. From this point of view, what should General Shen think about?

Shen Mi thought for a while and said: "I estimate that there are at least two or three days before the main force of the Jiangdong Army arrives, but we should fight quickly. The opponent only has 2000 people, and they can be defeated in one battle. The key is supplies. With so many warships and supplies, one It would be a pity to burn it down, it is better to uproot it and transport it all back to Wuchang, as for the water villages that cannot be taken away, I want to completely burn them down."

Liao Li nodded, "General Shen is absolutely right, I don't need to add anything."

Shen Mi was encouraged and excitedly geared up, "Let the Jiangdong army taste the power of my heavy ship!"

Liao Li chuckled, "I'm looking forward to what the general will do."

Shen Mi turned around and got out of the cabin, strode towards the bow of the boat, and heard his order from a distance, "Rush straight into the water village!"

The Jiangxia army fleet gradually approached the water village, but the Jiangxia army warships did not stop. Instead, they hung up their huge sails, and under the strong east wind, they accelerated towards Pengze water village.
