Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2127 The wind rises into flames

  The night was as cold as water, Wei Yan had already taken off his blood-stained war robe, and was sitting naked on the top of the Yidao city gate.

  Well, not in the building, but upstairs.

  The evening wind of the autumn night blew over Wei Yan's temples, brushing some loose strands of hair.

   Above the head is a round of bright moon like a hook, hanging high in the sky, scattering the light on the ground dimly.

  The city wall of Yidao was in disrepair for a long time. Whether it was the wall of the city wall or the passages on the city wall, some blue bricks were damaged or missing. Under the moonlight, black pits were formed one after another. Near the city wall, there are some figures shaking, which are soldiers preparing and guarding.

It was different from when Gan Ning was in Yidao. On the one hand, the soldiers brought by Wei Yan were clearly disciplined, unlike those of Gan Ning who were disorderly. Target…

  Wei Yanchang let out a long breath, and fell back in all directions. The tiles on the city gate tower were cold and hard. Of course it was uncomfortable to lie down directly, but Wei Yan didn't care.

  Even now, Wei Yan still recalls the fight with Gan Ning before...

   I don't know if it was the cold tiles that cooled Wei Yan's head, or because he felt the threat of death during the fight. Wei Yan's originally inflated thoughts of the boss and the second child have shrunk somewhat now. In Sichuan and Sichuan, Wei Yan almost punched Jiuzhaigou and kicked Qingcheng Mountain. Almost no one could compete with Wei Yan, which also caused Wei Yan to gradually become complacent during this period of time.

  Then the large and small wounds on the body and the blood flowing out, on the one hand, exhausted a lot of Wei Yan's energy and physical strength, and on the other hand, it also made Wei Yan's head not too congested...

  There are mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people.

Wei Yan and Gan Ning fought to the end, both of them fought fast, and a pervert like Lu Bu who can balance strength and speed... Well, the strong are still in the minority, so although both Gan Ning and Wei Yan suffered some injuries , but they were all minor injuries, just skin and flesh wounds. After applying golden sore medicine, it would be fine in a few days.

  The corners of Wei Yan's mouth turned up slightly, Gan Ning didn't get much of a bargain, but this kid still kept his hands away!

snort!

  Gan Ning put his hands back to beat him, and Wei Yan did the same.

Because they reported their names to each other, they knew that they were not the kind of enemies who had to divide life and death, so the two sides restrained somewhat, and did not fight a real fight. After the final fight, Wei Yan invited Gan Ning to join the hussars. After Gan Ning showed his bravery, he also went down the steps. Instead of surrendering directly, he just expressed his willingness to consider it, but he will not be sure until he sees the hussars...

   Wei Yan naturally understood such arrogant words.

   Both sides are happy.

   It’s just that Wei Yan feels that he still lacks something...

   Or, still a little unwilling?

  Now Jingzhou is in dire straits. As Wei Yan, who started from Sichuan and Shu, he doesn’t know what happened to Jingzhou’s North County, nor what kind of cooperation between Fei Qian and Cao Cao. Wei Yan just knows that he came to Jingzhou.

  Firing people, making meritorious deeds!

   Wei Yan has never seen Cao Cao, but he has heard it.

   It is said that Cao Cao is short in stature, but has an invisible and amazing momentum...

  Bah, how much momentum can a short, three-inch man have?

  It is said that when Cao Cao stood tall, he seemed to be integrated with the earth and turned into a majestic mountain...

  Bah, did it turn into dirt or into stone?

   It is said that Cao Cao has a pair of eyes full of wisdom, as if there is a power to see through people's hearts, when he stares...

  Bah, didn't you hear that it is mung bean with small eyes, how does it reflect wisdom? Could it still germinate?

  So, Wei Yan really wanted to meet Cao Cao for a while.

   It's just that if you want to see Cao Cao, you have to go to Jingnan and Jiangling first.

   But the problem is that there is a plague in Jiangling...

  『Text length! ’ Gan Ning’s voice came from below the gate tower, ‘Is Wen Chang there? 』

  『I am on top! ”Wei Yan stretched out his head from the top of the city gate, and greeted, “There is a ladder on the right…”

The friendship between men is actually similar to the friendship between women. Just now, the two were still fighting each other, hacking each other with knives, but now they are fine, like friends who can sit together and drink …

  『This is for debridement...』 Wei Yan took the cowhide pouch, frowning, 『This is not good...』

  People in the Han Dynasty did not accept spirits very well. People in the Han Dynasty preferred fruit wine and rice wine, such as wine, corn wine, golden pulp wine, etc., low-alcohol wine with some special aromas.

  『Don’t worry about him, Ge Laozi...』 Gan Ning glanced at Wei Yan, 『Uh, a bird has almost faded out of my throat these days...』

  Wei Yan didn't have much reaction to Gan Ning's self-proclaimed "Ge Laozi". After all, Wei Yan also came from Sichuan and Shu. "Ge Laozi" speaks fast, even "Ge" is purred, leaving only the accent of "Lao Tzu", which sounds like a curse but is not actually, this is just Sichuan slang, as if someone would call "Sajia" is also called "Old Cousin" by some...

   Wei Yan shook the cowhide bag, took a sip at the end, grinned and breathed out the alcohol, and said: "I want to visit Jiangling..."

  『Jiangling? ! Gan Ning stared, "Are you crazy?" Didn't I say it? There is a plague over there, all dead people, even Jiangdong soldiers have run away! 』

  Wei Yan nodded, "I know..."

  Gan Ning took the cowhide bag, gulped down a few mouthfuls, let out a sigh of alcohol, "Ha... got it... done! Tomorrow I will go to Gelaozi’s bed...ah boat...』

  『Walk by water? 』Wei Yan's eyes lit up.

  This is a good way...

  …(..)…

  Wei Yan was still preparing to leave, and the other side was also traveling by water, but encountered some unexpected troubles.

  Sun Quan, in a long-sleeved robe, stands on the watchtower of the boat.

  This is Yunmengze.

  Yunmeng Daze is a Daze that existed in the pre-Qin period. It seems that it has been here quietly since ancient times. The slightly undulating hills and water plants seem to hide some secrets.

  The surrounding field of vision is very wide, coupled with the temperature drop at night, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and there is a whining sound in Sun Quan's ears, and the water plants, shrubs and small trees on the side of the river are rustling.

   Occasionally, there were one or two unknown calls mixed in the night wind. It was unknown whether it was a night owl, a wild dog, or some unknown beast.

  Sun Quan couldn't help looking north.

  The moonlight gently falls, outlining large and small light spots and shadows.

  The river is rippling, full of peace and tranquility.

   Can’t see Gangneung Castle…

   It's like Sun Quan finally couldn't see his hope of becoming the supreme under heaven. Is this really the only way I can go? Such a good opportunity, such a smooth start, everything seems to be close at hand, and then in the blink of an eye, there is a strange road at the end of the world.

  Damn it, if it weren't for these damned plagues...

  Thinking of the tragedy of the plague, Sun Quan couldn't help the cold sweat on his back, and there was an indescribable cold when he was blown by the wind. On this late autumn night, Sun Quan couldn't feel the slightest bit of warmth, and it penetrated his heart, as if he wanted to blow out the fiery ambitions together.

  『When a certain soldier sent troops, he thought that even if he wasn’t 100% sure this time, he was 80% or 90% sure…』

  Sun Quan let out a long breath, looked at the hazy night sky, and muttered slowly in a very low voice.

  『A certain sent Jiangdong elite soldiers out of Jiangxia, and then went back and forth to put down the Changsha rebellion...』

  『Liu Jingsheng was a hero all his life, but he never thought that he would have the son of a poodle. This was originally an excellent opportunity...』

Sun Quan's eyes stared fiercely at the north, as if he had penetrated space, and saw Cao Cao and Fei Qian, "Therefore Cao Fei must fight... I thought we could wait for Jingbei to be chaotic, and we will take the opportunity to attack it, and it will surely be great." Total victory...'

  『Never mind…』

  『What's more hateful is not the foreign enemy, but the inside of this Xiao wall! 』

  Jiangdong urgent report, the sentences are in turmoil.

  Sun Fu's rebellion, Sun Quan had expected it a long time ago, and even exiled Sun Fu to Juzhang, just waiting for this day, but what Sun Quan did not expect was that Sun Fu succeeded so easily!

   Among them, there is nothing strange? Is there no one behind the scenes to fuel the flames? If so, who would it be? Sun Ben? Sun Hao? Or someone else?

  Why do I work so hard for the Sun family's foundation, go through life and death, and yet my own family is stabbing me in the back?

Why? !

  Thinking of this, Sun Quan couldn't help gnashing his teeth, with a hideous face...

Sun Quan thought that before the war, he had already thought about everything very clearly, and even paid a lot for this battle, but the result was not what Sun Quan thought. He was somewhat regretful, and of course resentful . At this moment, talking to myself and repeating the narrative, it seems to be explaining to myself, and it seems to be finding a step for myself.

When Sun Quan was savoring the loneliness that no one could understand and the pain of being betrayed by his relatives, a huge flame suddenly rose in the distant night, followed by dozens of fire heads, and the flames burst into flames. In a short time, the river water was illuminated like daytime!

"what happened? ! 』Sun Quan staggered, and almost accidentally fell off the boat from the female wall of the boat!

   In the blink of an eye, the river was in chaos!

   Noises, shouts of killing, and the sound of clashing knives and guns kept coming!

  Sun Quan lay on the parapet wall, raised his head and looked around, his mind buzzed, and he felt dizzy! Seeing the torches waving all over the mountains and plains, it seems that countless meteors have risen from the ground, sweeping over from the Yunmengze, overwhelming the sky and covering the earth!

   It's Cao Jun!

   It’s Cao Jun from Xincheng! It actually passed through Daze and attacked here!

  A kind of biting cold rose from the soles of the feet to the top of the head. Sun Quan could even feel his scalp stand on end, and his whole body was like falling into a cellar of ice!

Cao Jun has some soldiers in the direction of the new city. Sun Quan himself has known about this news for a long time, but because the previous focus was on Jingbei, and there was no news from Jiangxia, Sun Quan didn't care about it, but I didn't expect these Cao Jun to appear here!

Sun Quan and others withdrew from Jiangling. The queue was long and the waterways advanced side by side. It seemed to be a huge force, but in fact, no matter the soldiers and generals had lost the vigor they had when they attacked Jingzhou before. On the other hand, Sun Quan received the news from the rear. I was upset and resentful for a while, and I didn't think about specifically assigning the duties of the generals. At the same time, the Jiangdong generals didn't see each other well. The cooperation between the veteran and the newcomer was not a tacit understanding, and then...

China's excellent tradition of playing football has once again played a role. Those on the water thought that those on land would send scouts, while those on land thought that those on water should send scouts. Most of the Jiangdong soldiers thought that the battle was over, and now everyone's thoughts were focused on going home quickly. Even if they really sent scouts, it might not be effective.

Just like Wei Yan didn't quite know what happened in Jingbei, he always wanted to take a look in his heart, and Yu Jin, who was in the new city, was also thinking about Cao Cao's orders, and wanted to fulfill the responsibility of flanking Jiangdong soldiers and horses with all his heart and responsibilities. , although he fought Huang Gai before, Yu Jin always believed that this was not the end of his duties, but just the beginning.

  So, Yu Jin has been thinking about Sun Quan's food road for a long time, and it turned out that just when Sun Quan and others were slowly retreating from Jiangling with a large amount of wealth, Yu Jin launched...

  Yellow cover? Wasn't Huang Gai punished by Sun Quan, and returned to Jiangdong with Zhou Yu?

  Unconsciously, it seems that in the blink of an eye, the fire spread from the surface of the river, like a fire dragon, trying to swallow all Jiangdong soldiers in one gulp!

   Cao Jun chose the location of the attack very well...

   It is good for Cao Jun, but it is like a nightmare for Jiangdong soldiers.

  Cao Jun set fire to kill from Yunmengze, and the north wind was blowing again. Under the wind and fire, the reeds and withered grass were quickly ignited and spread very fast, which caught the Jiangdong camp on land by surprise! Even with the river beside him, he has no ability to resist in the face of such a rapidly spreading fire!

The flying sparks, the ignited dead grass, and the rockets fired by Cao Jun caused Jiangdong soldiers to be set ablaze in many places on land, like an earthworm that had been cut into several sections, writhing in pain on its own , lost the power to fight back.

  Sun Quan prides himself on himself, and he has also read military books thoroughly. If he argues about some military allusions, he can speak clearly and logically, and he is even three points stronger than ordinary generals!

  But when Sun Quan really arrived on the battlefield...

   It’s like memorizing all the questions of subject one, and then when I got into the car, I found that the headlights of the car were drooping, the engine was not only leaking oil but also burning oil, the clutch was not in place, and the brakes and accelerators were so slow...

  Cao Jun threw himself out of Yunmengze, causing Jiangdong soldiers to be in chaos, and Sun Quan and other surface troops wanted to support them, but they had to cross over the chaotic own family on land.

  『My lord! 』

  『My lord! 』

  The rapid cry made Sun Quan tremble, and it was only when he came back to his senses that Cheng Pu and Zhou Tai had arrived in front of him, calling him eagerly. Cheng Pu raised his head and said, "My lord, the enemy is coming from the north!" Hurry up to fight! 』

Sun Quan took a deep breath, although his back was still a little cool, but his voice gradually became firm and heavy, "The wind and fire are strong now, and the enemy may not be close. You can hurry to the riverside and suppress it with boats and boats." , and then fight back to put out the fire! 』

   This is undoubtedly a relatively correct choice.

  Under the support of the surface troops, the Jiangdong soldiers on land will have support, and it will be easier to recover from the previous chaotic state, otherwise the situation will continue to deteriorate...

   It's just that, such a choice alone is not enough.

  In the darkness of night, the flames soared into the sky, enough to see the surrounding scenery clearly.

In Yunmengze, the overwhelming dots of flames gradually gathered to form a bright array. Obviously, Cao Jun also gathered into an array from loose, and then immediately, it was like a giant dragon spewing out monstrous flames forward, and countless flames came from the opposite side. A huge sea of ​​flames floated out, accompanied by earth-shattering shouts of killing, violently rushing towards it!

  The murderous aura coming from the shop all of a sudden made Sun Quan's breathing hard!

"Archer! Let the arrows go! 』

  Following Cheng Pu's order, the arrows and crossbows on the boat were like locusts, raindrops continuously pounced towards the enemy's fire, and disappeared in the light like moths pounced on the fire.

  Due to the different nature of combat, boats and ships are equipped with more powerful bows and crossbows, and the number of arrows and crossbows in reserve is also more than that of ordinary land units. When it comes to long-range weapons, Jiangdong has a lot of reserves, especially strong crossbows.

  Crossbows are also divided into light and heavy, strong and weak.

   I won’t mention light crossbows, sometimes the shot crossbows will be blown by a bigger wind, but strong crossbows, whether it’s the pre-Qin crossbow or the big man’s yellow-shouldered crossbow, are quite powerful long-range weapons.

  Crossbow has the reputation of the so-called "Sharp Weapon of the Great Han", and it is the main weapon of the Han army. Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, six out of ten soldiers in the army have fought with crossbows. In the past when Wei Qing went on an expedition against the Huns, he encountered the main force of the enemy's cavalry, so he first formed a circular formation with iron chariots, and held the crossbowmen in the center. win all.

  Strong crossbows have advantages and disadvantages. Its manufacturing process is much more complicated than that of bows, and its cost is also surprisingly high. In addition, due to frequent wars in recent years, it is impossible to organize mass production, so troops everywhere are increasingly equipped with crossbows.

There were few large-scale battles in Jiangdong before, and the impact of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was less than that of the Central Plains. In addition, many people from the Central Plains moved south to avoid disasters, bringing not only the population, but also many craftsmen. Therefore, this time Sun Quan It is naturally impossible to come to Jingzhou to fight in person without bringing some sharp weapons with you. At present, Sun Quan's direct guards almost have a strong crossbow, which adds up to as many as a thousand. In addition, they are covered by boats and parapets, so they don't have to worry too much about their own safety. Now they are pressing close to the river, facing Cao Jun's fire attack Wherever he came from, he shot indiscriminately!

  The strong bow and crossbow seemed to have hit some of Cao Jun's fire and caused some damage. There were faint screams, but obviously, it was completely different from what Sun Quan and others had expected!

  With such dense arrows and crossbows covering the shooting, even Cao Jun's general arrows, which are protected by armor, cannot resist the strong crossbow!

  Could it be that Cao Jun has some supernatural powers that can make him immune to harm? !

However, in a blink of an eye, Sun Quan and the others understood that Cao Jun had actually played a trick to attract the attention of Sun Quan and the others by using firelight, but in fact there were not many people deployed, and those real killer moves were not executed at all. The torch, hidden in the darkness, broke into Sun Quan's camp!
