  Chapter 2073 The mountains are not high, and the water is not deep

  Chang'an.

  Lishan is picturesque.

  The autumn wind is strong.

  In Lishan Mountain, there are many deciduous forests, which gradually turn red in autumn. If you come to view the scenery at this time, it will have a special charm.

   Fei Qian stood on the top of the mountain to watch the scenery.

  Beside him is Pang Tong.

In autumn, just like most animals start to put on autumn fat, Pang Tong is getting fat again, the fatter he is, the more nerdy he is, and then the fat house happiness technique is activated continuously without CD, and his chins are so large that he can hardly see The neck is gone.

Therefore, for the sake of Pang Tong's health, Fei Qian dragged Pang Tong to climb the mountain, and planned to climb it every three to five times from this time on. All the places with the word "phoenix" in it have been changed...

  Looking at the panting Pang Tong, Fei Qian smiled, then turned his head and looked into the distance.

Fei Qian once hid his strengths and bide his time for quite a long time, and even showed some weakness on purpose, in order to make the surrounding vassal groups paralyzed and not rush to send troops to destroy his emerging power-of course, this is also subject to the premise, and the north of the state is relative It is remote and barren. On the other hand, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others all want to follow Liu Xiu's old path, and they all want to take Yuzhou and Jizhou as the foundation, so naturally they will not pay attention to Fei Qian in the early stage.

  Strictly speaking, it wasn’t entirely to show weakness to Yuan Cao, but also like the Xiliang rebels in Guanzhong. If after Dong Zhuo's downfall, some Xiliang thieves were after Fei Qian, the result would be hard to say.

Feiqian was born in a branch of the Heluofei family, and at a young age, he didn't have any gimmicks such as "lying on the ice and begging for carp", so fame is also general. Naturally, the head is still enough, but when I meet the gang in Yingchuan, Yuzhou, it will be enough to communicate with each other.

  『The Wei River is white in autumn, and the Lishan Mountain is red in the evening. Fei Qian said slowly, "If you don't visit this mountain in person, how can you see this beautiful scenery?" 』

  Pang Tong rolled his eyes, gasping for breath, sweating profusely, took his sleeves to wipe his sweat, turned his head and asked, "Water! Who still has water? 』

  『Hahaha...』 Fei Qian signaled Huang Xu to find the water bag for Pang Tong.

  Lishan was not well-known in the Han Dynasty, and even avoided it on purpose. Lishan became a scenic spot for literati, probably in the Tang Dynasty, so there are few people in the present, and there are not as many poems singing about Lishan in later generations. Could it be that Mount Li really won't be beautiful until later generations? After the Han Dynasty, Lishan has undergone earth-shaking changes? Did Li Shan get the PS technique, or did he learn the disguise technique?

Pang Tong poured another half bag of water, feeling much more comfortable. He staggered and stood next to Fei Qian. He glanced to the left and then to the right. Not suitable for garrisons. 』

   Feiqian shook his head, "Who said I want to garrison here?" 』

"what? Come here to see the mountains and rivers without stationing troops? Pang Tong was full of grievances, I am a fat bird, no, fat tiger, no, is it easy to climb this mountain, "What is the purpose of my lord coming here?" 』

  『There is a saying... "The mountain is not as high as it is, but there are immortals and it is named"..." Fei Qian said slowly, "What does Shi Yuan think of this statement? 』

  『Master, do you want to build a Taoist temple here? Ok? No..." Pang Tong began to pinch the few sparse beards on his chin, pondering.

I don’t know if it’s because of being fat, the fat is too thick to pierce the beard, or the beard has not grown out due to the age, so that the current beard of Pang Tong looks a bit of an embellishment type, say no , there are indeed some, but if there is, it is indeed very sparse.

  Mountain haze comes slowly, lingering on the cuffs of the robe and the hem of the skirt, taking away the heat, allowing people to calm down and think calmly.

  『My lord’s intention is to ask for a name? After a while, Pang Tong said slowly, "Or is it "establishing" the name?" 』

   Fei Qian nodded slightly.

   Keeping a low profile is certainly beneficial, but it also has disadvantages.

Feiqian is now traveling all the way, fighting Baibo to settle the Black Mountain, Fuyin Mountain and Pingchuan Shu, attacking Xianbei in the north, and driving Wusun in the west. Although the exploits are shining and the victories are numerous, there are still many great men who only respect Feiqian's foreign military exploits, but despise him. Fei Qian's internal governance, attributed these victories of Fei Qian to the equipment and armor, and compared the warriors, thinking that if he was in Fei Qian's position, even if he was not comparable, he would definitely not be far behind...

   This is a disadvantage of Fei Qian now.

Fei Qian went from a white body to a general of Zhonglang, and then took advantage of Dong Dongfeng to swagger up and down, and then reached his current position, his strength rapidly expanded, shaking, moving, the whole big man would shake, but This title, but did not keep up.

   It’s not about the name Hussar General, but “fame”, or “popularity”.

  Influences have both name and reality.

The name is too real, probably like Yuan Shao, with the halo of the fourth generation and the third prince hanging on the back of his head. If it weren't for Cao Cao, a short mule who took advantage of Yuan Shao's unpreparedness and sneakily raised his stick to puncture his halo, it would be hard to say that people in the world would still How many years have you been immersed in "Models of the World".

  Then the name is too real, like Cao Cao, and Fei Qian.

It's like the sentence of the sketches of later generations, "You have big eyebrows and big eyes, and you have betrayed the revolution?" Although most people will know what it means to not judge people by their appearance, and they have learned the truth that they should not judge people by their appearance, but they still change. No special eunuch, uh, it’s in the shape of a “Yan Party” monkey, and it’s always like a monkey or something…

  Fame is another type of appearance.

In this regard, Cao Cao has not done well in history. On the one hand, it is because of Cao Cao’s background. In a hurry, I want to go hard...

  『So the lord is named "Northern Protectorate..." Pang Tong obviously thought of something, he clapped his hands and said, "The so-called five-year period...could it be..."

   Feiqian nodded, shook his head again, and said: "It is both imaginary and real..."

  Fei Qian pointed to the Lishan Mountain in front of him, "There has been this mountain since ancient times, and it is here every year. The flowers bloom and the leaves fall, every year." Now that his reputation is not obvious, he is just ordinary dirt and rocks, which is unsightly. If it is said that there are immortals in the mountains, they will definitely flock to them. Looking at the beauty of the mountains and rocks, it is unavoidable. They think they are close to immortals and tainted with long life. Are the mountains and rocks different? In time, he also said that the immortals would go away and leave this Lishan empty... Did Shi Yuan think that people would be extinct? 』

  Pang Tong thought for a while, then shook his head.

   Fei Qian smiled slightly, "That's why, if you talk about the latecomers, do you admire mountains and envy immortals?" 』

   "This..." Pang Tong was thoughtful.

  ……

Hefei New City is located on the land exposed by the degradation of Yunmeng Lake. Cao Jun chose a piece of land like a floating island to build a city wall, and then connected it to the outside with a pontoon bridge, thus forming a natural barrier. If he wanted to attack Hefei New City , or you need to endure the slow progress of the swamp and mud, or you have to accept the embarrassment of not having a lot of development.

   Near Hefei is the Great Lakes.

  Yu Jin practiced the navy here. Although he is not as proficient as Wu Jun, he is not quick to sharpen his guns before the battle...

  The most important problem is that the proficiency of the navy is still second, and the most important thing is the lack of ships.

  Especially building boats.

  On the high-rise ship, there are not only big killers such as ballistas, but even a collision with a ship can make it difficult for a small ship to compete, just like when there is no aircraft carrier, the surface ship is the dominance of the battleship.

  Large boats, at the moment, are deterrents on the water.

  So naturally, Yu Jin started building boats in the big lake on the side of Hefei. It is obvious that building a building ship cannot be accomplished overnight, and building a building ship also requires a relatively large site...

  Jiangdong scouts detected such information and hurriedly reported it to Huang Gai who had been cruising around the Hefei New City on guard.

  After receiving the information, Huang Gai confirmed the authenticity of the information, and then sent the information to the rear, where Zhou Yu was originally stationed at Chaisang.

   But the problem is that Zhou Yu is not in Chaisang now, he went to the front.

   Can Huang Gai be blamed for this? Obviously, it is impossible to blame Huang Gai for sending him to the wrong place. After all, it is impossible for Zhou Yu to go to the front line and make a publicity, shouting so that the whole world knows. It is also impossible for the messenger Huang Gai to send information to Chaisang to ask Zhou Yu where he is going.

   What's more, did Huang Gai indicate that he wanted to give it to Zhou Yu?

nor.

   Therefore, the information in this letter fell into the hands of Sun Quan.

  Sun Quan is in a hurry.

Seeing the progress day by day, it's not small, but it's definitely not big. There are Cao Cao's army in the north, and the Nanyue rebellion in the south. What's more important is that my backyard has been muttering for a long time, yin and yang, this Sun Quan In my heart, can I not be in a hurry?

  So Sun Quan hurried to Chaisang, the purpose is to urge Zhou Yu to act as soon as possible. But anyone with some military common sense can understand that although defense is a little passive, overall it is easy to accumulate advantages, or the Art of War would not specifically list a "wait for work with ease"...

In addition, there are some gaps between Jiangdong soldiers and Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers in terms of physique, land fighting experience, or the quantity and quality of cavalry. If you want to take the initiative to attack, you must leave the navy Therefore, Zhou Yu's strategy is similar to the plan of the Battle of Chibi in history, or he will not Fighting, if it starts, it is the kind that needs to be finalized.

So Zhou Yu went to the front to discuss openly and honestly with Cheng Pu, just because he was afraid that Sun Shiwan would come up with some contradictory orders like last time, which would cause the Jiangdong soldiers to act inconsistently, but Zhou Yu didn't expect that even if he did it in advance If you are on guard, you can't stand Sun Quan's tricks.

  The key is that Sun Quan does not feel that he is stabbing someone.

  Sun Quan ordered Huang Gai to attack Hefei New City. The main combat objective was to destroy Yujin’s shipbuilding site, burn the Cao Jun building ships under construction, and if possible, occupy Hefei New City...

  In Sun Quan's view, there is nothing wrong with his order.

   If Cao Jun building ships are built, is it a threat? Since it's a threat, why not nip it in the bud? What's more, it is impossible to use it on the frontal battlefield now, if it can be used four or two times...

  Is this kind of strategic thinking correct? Is this kind of military thinking very powerful? What's wrong with such a military order?

hit! necessary!

   Ollie gives it and it's over!

And when this military order was passed back to Huang Gai, Brother Huang was stunned for a moment, then checked the wax and dark seal on the military order again, and confirmed that there was no problem with the military order, and it was indeed issued from Chaisang Already...

  Since there is no problem, it is natural to follow the military order.

  Brother Huang waved the command flag and commanded the Jiangdong water army to move forward.

  『Boom, boom, boom! 』

  The deep and slow sound of the war drums was like the roar of a giant, shocking the soul.

Cao's army was not completely defenseless, especially at the entrance of the Great Lake, where chains and ballistas were erected. Once the enemy was blocked in front of obstacles, they would become targets of attack. If they tried to clear these obstacles, they would of course be attacked. Focus on care. If you want to maintain balance on a shaking ship and clear those obstacles, you will inevitably have poorer self-protection, which is the best opportunity to attack.

  Huang Gai's two front ships were the first to be attacked. As soon as they entered the range of the bow and arrow ballista, Cao Jun began to shoot, and was even attacked by the catapult!

  Of course, Cao Jun called it "Thunderbolt Car".

In the sound of the horn, Cao Jun's soldiers raised the wooden hammer high and hit the hook of the thunderbolt car vigorously. The heavy weight box sank down suddenly, and the long wooden tip drew an arc, and threw Leaving Yaokong, he threw a stone the size of his head out.

  The stone bullets flew in the air, making piercing whistling noises, and flew towards the two Jiangdong ships that were coming slowly.

  Of course, is this accurate...

  The stone bomb fell into the water, stirring up a water column two or three feet high, and the water splashed in all directions, and the sound was shocking.

  『Counterattack! Fight back! 』

  『Cover and clear obstacles! 』

  Huang Gai issued a series of instructions.

  The Jiangdong archers on the building boat began to counterattack Cao Jun behind the female wall, and the boat was also under the control of the oarsmen, slowly approaching the place where Cao Jun erected obstacles.

In terms of water warfare, Jiangdong soldiers are experts. They push forward resolutely, neither too fast nor too slow. If they are too slow, they will easily become a living target. If they are too fast, they will hit the water surface all at once. On those obstacles, maybe the bottom of the boat will be pierced and leaked...

  The Jiangdong soldiers in charge of detection stared at the long wooden pole tied in front of the ship, and when the wooden pole just shook violently, they shouted: "Obstacle!" Hit the obstacles! 』

  The military commander in charge stared at the somewhat turbid water surface, vaguely saw the wooden stakes and iron chains hidden under it, and ordered loudly: "Turn! Prepare to break barriers! 』

  『Unhook, underhook! The Jiangdong soldiers yelled loudly, and threw a huge anchor hook into the water. With a "boom", the iron anchor hook sank rapidly, pulling the iron chain as thick as an arm and rattling loudly.

  『Steady! hold on! 』Jiangdong Bing shouted, and pushed the iron chain with a wooden pole, causing the iron chain to change its position and began to shake underwater. After a while, the iron chain moved, as if something was hanging on it...

There are generally two types of iron chains blocking the river. One is that there is no underwater fixed point, but only hangs on both sides of the river. This kind of iron chain will be thinner because of the center of gravity, and the other is like the obstacles set up by Cao Jun at present. , Knocking wooden piles underwater to provide support, this kind of iron cable blocking the river can be thicker, and it is also less likely to be cut off...

  Therefore, directly chopping such a thick iron chain has no effect, and another method must be used.

  When the Jiangdong Bing's anchor was hung on the iron chain, he immediately twisted the turntable to tighten the iron chain, and at the same time inserted the bolt, making the winch stuck.

More than a dozen Jiangdong soldiers struggled to throw stones and sandbags out of the ballast from the bottom of the bilge. As the plopping stones and sandbags fell into the water, the water line slowly moved down, pulling the iron chains straight. It even made the building tilt slightly...

   Wooden piles nailed and buried underwater usually have barbs that look like spiked arrows. If they are dragged only by manpower or pulled by a winch, such wooden piles cannot be dragged. However, the buoyancy of water is naturally more majestic and powerful than human strength. In the midst of arrows all over the sky and the approaching stone bomb attacks, as more and more stones and sandbags were thrown by the building boats, the tense The iron chain finally let out a shocking tremor, and when it was loosened suddenly, the whole warship shook suddenly. Then, a cloud of muddy river water gushed out from the bottom of the river, and a huge wooden stake floated out. water surface.

A stone bomb whizzed over, and hit the top floor of the building with a click, smashing the two Jiangdong soldiers into pieces, and then smashed through the parapet wall on the other side, flying into the water with blood foam all over their body. , set off a sky full of splashes...

  『Don’t be so **** dumb! move! Keep going! ’ the non-commissioned officer of the Jiangdong Army roared.

   On the battlefield, are there any undead?

Being stabbed by a gun is death, being cut by a knife is also death, and being shot by a arrow is also death. Although it is true that the corpse looks torn apart after being hit by a stone bullet, there are indeed some scenes that are scary, but they are not all the same. dead? Since they all died at the same time, why should they care whether they were stabbed to death by swords or guns, or killed by arrows and stone bullets?

   The sooner you end the work in front of you, the sooner you get rid of the threat of death?

  Amid the roar of the Marquis Qu Chang, the Jiangdong soldiers started a new round of actions. They didn't need to pull out all the stakes, they only needed to deal with a passage, and that was enough.

Huang Gai in the rear made the scorpion pretend to wait for the shore to fight, and successfully pulled a part of Cao's army, making the building boats in the river bear arrows and stone bullets, and pulled out three consecutive soldiers on the river. The stakes cleared a passage...
