Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-Three [Situational Changes]
(Thank you for the Alliance! Thank you Zhao Wuxiu 2014, ug, book friend 111129014935431, get rid of confusion and be plain)
On March 22, the sixth year of Jian'an, the coalition forces of Sun, Cao and Liu launched a strong attack on Xiakou. The Jiangxia army fought against the enemy and fought back to death. The battle situation was extremely tragic. New··..m
In this battle, Zhou Yu was the main general, Xiahou Yuan and Guan Yu were the deputy generals, Cao Cao and Liu Bei supervised the battle, with a total force of more than 23,000 and more than 300 warships of various types. Taking advantage of the good weather, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Lu Meng and other generals led a thousand to 3,000 people, and took a boat to launch wave after wave of attacks at Xiakou.
The chief general of the Jiangxia army, Chen, set up a tent on the dangerous cliffs on the river bank, commanded the soldiers to counterattack, and used strong men to throw stones to destroy the ships, and used crossbowmen to kill the enemy. Su Fei sat on the side of the river to steer the water gate, and let the soldiers sink all the Jiangdong army ships and soldiers who rushed through the arrows and stone formations and kill them with bows and arrows, poles, and spears on the walls on both sides of the water gate.
For a moment, arrows and stones were like rain, and the sound shook both sides of the banks. The Xiakou section of the Yangtze River was shrouded in a bloody storm. Countless broken trees, capsized boats, corpses, armors, wooden shields, and more were ups and downs and downs, including Jiangdong soldiers and Jiangxia soldiers...
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin led two thousand soldiers to charge, and four times in a row, they were beaten down by heavy rain-like arrows and stones. Zhou Tai's shoulders and backs were swollen by stones, and Jiang Qin was also smashed to death, and his face was like a rice dumpling. If the two generals had not worn double armor and iron helmets, they would have long been one of the corpses floating in the river.
"The Central Guard, this is not possible! The Jiangxia thieves defended tightly, and the arrows seemed endless. The men died and injured. If they continued to fight, we would have no one..."
When Zhou Yu asked for the two generals, he said nothing: "Thank you for your hard work in Zhou, Jiang Erjun, please go down and rest and heal. Huang Gai, Lu Meng, it's your turn..."
After a fierce battle, more than a thousand soldiers were killed or killed, but no decent results were achieved.
The next day, continue the attack; the third day, fight again; the fourth day... God opened his eyes and it rained heavily, and the Yangtze River was rarely calm for a day. The blood and debris on the river were finally washed away.
In the south of the Yangtze River, there is another rainy season. The rain will either not fall, and it will fall for at least several days. In the drizzle of rain, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhou Yu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xiahou Yuan, Huang Gai, Lu Meng and other generals, wearing straw raincoats, came to the river bank under the escorts, looking at the vast river, and sighing at the faint cliff camp on the other side.
"Gongjin, the emergency attack has not yet arrived for three days, and his morale has been slightly reduced. This battle is not easy to fight." Cao Cao wiped the rainwater from his long beard. The wet rainwater dyed the black beard even darker, and he almost caught up with the beautiful bearded man beside him.
Zhou Yu raised his head and let the rain hit the handsome and handsome face. The wet drops of water seemed to wash his face pale. His tone was as gentle as usual, but it was a sonorous: "If you are not easy to beat, you must beat it! And we must be as soon as possible, we can't stand it."
Liu Bei looked at the awning with his hands for a while, put down his hand, and sighed slightly, "What Gongjin said is not bad. The death-seeking ghost in Jiangdong is driving us with a whip behind him!"
Guan Yu deeply agreed: "Before that man's army enters Jiangxia, the matter can still be done, otherwise everything will not be raised."
Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but look at each other, and saw a shock from each other's eyes. Guan Yunchang, such a proud person, could even say such words, which shows the psychological shadow left on him by the defeat of the day...
Cao Cao took a deep breath of the tide, calmed down his mood, and said, "Cao means that we should change the style of fighting. We should first destroy the enemy's turret, then climb up the cliff, and fight with the enemy."
Huang Gai frowned and said, "Destroy the enemy's siege? I've tried it the day before yesterday and can't even break the walls of the village. How to destroy the siege behind it?"
Cao Cao rolled up his sleeves and raised his fingers, and drew a long "一" character on the muddy ground.
Zhang Fei looked around the word "一" and said with a whisper: "The word Cao Gong has not enough pen tip or pen strength."
Cao Cao was so angry that he said: "Does Yide think I am a word?"
Zhang Fei said with a gaze: "Isn't it? I understand so much... Cao Gong, the handwriting is ugly and it's nothing, just practice more..."
"Okay, third brother, be careful of your words." Guan Yu took a fancy to his brother. This guy thought he had written well, so he showed off everywhere.
Zhang Fei was unhappy: "Brother, come and comment..."
Liu Bei quickly stood farther away to avoid being implicated.
Zhang Fei's eyes turned to Zhou Yu again: "Gongjin, please say."
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll comment." He walked over, pulled out the sword from his waist, and drew a sword on the word "一", which was cut in the center.
Cao Cao laughed: "Gongjin is worthy of being the Junyan of Jiangdong, which is exactly what I want."
Liu Bei glanced at it and smiled knowingly: "Start from here, maybe there is hope."
Looking at the third brother's face still confused, Guan Yu sighed, patted his thick shoulder, and pointed to the misty river surface: "It's that."
Until everyone left, Zhang Fei still stared at the cow's eyes and looked at the river. After a long time, a strong wind blew, and the river fog swelled, revealing something faintly.
Zhang Fei slapped his thigh: "I understand, cable! It's cable!"
...
Five days later, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the coalition forces attacked again. This time, the target was locked on the river surface, which was connected with two trellis. There were not only one cable, but six trellis. All of them must be cut off to make the two trellis lose their clamping power and not attack this and be attacked by the other.
This time, the coalition forces attacked together, Dong Xi, Lu Meng, Guan Yu, and Han Hao, four generals fought, each leading a thousand troops. The mission was clear: Guan Yu attacked the water gate of Jiangzuo, Lu Meng attacked the turtle on the left bank, Han Hao attacked the turtle on the right bank, Dong Xi led 500 sharp soldiers, boatmen, and five warships, responsible for breaking cables.
The battle reopened, and the fight broke out again. From Jiangle to Jiangle, there were fighting figures everywhere, the river was full of red and the corpses were accumulated.
Despite the fierce battles everywhere, the eyes of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhou Yu and other generals were always locked in the middle of the river. There was Dong Xi's fleet, and he was the key to this victory and defeat.
Suddenly, Huang Gai shouted: "Okay, cut off a cable!"
Sure enough, a thick cable on the river surface suddenly broke when several powerful men in Jiangdong fought hard, and the Jiangdong army cheered.
Just as the boatmen in Jiangdong adjusted the ship. The strongmen raised their knives and axes to the second cable, a sudden wave came, and the ship tilted, and the strongmen fell into the river one after another, causing a burst of exclamations.
Seeing this, Dong Xi picked up a big axe, jumped off the Feilu from the top of the boat, and then slapped the axe and chopped it.
One, two, three... After seven axes, the cable as thick as a child's arms was interrupted by the extremely tough ones soaked in the river water. The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army who were watching the battle on the north bank cheered again.
Two cables were broken. Su Fei, the guard at the water gate, was anxious and sent three warships to stop them. They were all defeated, and the cables were cut off one after another. The battle was until dusk, and only the last cable was left.
Su Fei finally got anxious. After repelling Guan Yu again, he personally boarded the boat with a knife and started a fight with Dong Xi.
The number of soldiers in the two ships is similar, with soldiers facing each other, generals facing each other, and they are captured and fought.
Dong Xi axe in a row, with axe and axe fast and powerful force sinking. Su Fei blocked three times in a row, but couldn't bear it. He fell on his back, leaned his body and took the opportunity to roll to the other side of the ship.
Dong Xi did not care about chasing, so he turned around and ran to the last cable, clattering! Three axes slashed, and the cable was half broken. Dong Xi looked at the axe blade. Because of the fierce fighting, the axe blade was already dull, but it was too late to change the weapon, so he could only chop hard.
Before he could cut a few times, he saw Su Fei rushing towards him again at the corner of his eyes. Dong Xi held it with a horizontal axe and kicked Su Fei down with one foot, and was about to slash him with one axe. Suddenly, a wave of arrow shot towards Dong Xi's back, and the axe fell to the ground with his hand.
Su Fei was ecstatic and held up his sword.
Dong Xi lays his hands and his eyes are bloody.
Puff! The blood light burst out, splashing Dong Xi's face, but it was not his blood, but his opponent's.
Su Fei's movements were frozen, looking disbelief, staring at the protruding tip of the knife on his chest.
Dong Xi stretched out his hand, caught Su Fei's falling knife, turned around, raised it high, and cut it down hard! The last cable finally broke!
The two ships of the Jiangxia army lost their stable ties. The hull tilted and floated with the river. Many soldiers screamed and fell from the river.
Amid the thunderous cheers of the Jiangdong army, Dong Xi clasped his fists to thank him.
Dozens of feet away, Guan Yu nodded to greet him with empty hands.
As soon as the river cable broke, the balance of the war began to tilt towards the Jiangdong Army.
The battle in Xiakou is in full swing, and Huang Zuji is in danger, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but Xiakou is cut off and it is impossible to know the movements of the Dragon Wolf Army. Where has the Dragon Wolf Army been fought? Has Ma Han occupied Yuzhang? Has the Dragon Wolf Warship entered the Jiangxia waters? If it doesn't come again, it will be impossible to withstand it!
Ma Han has been paying close attention to the battle situation in Jiangxia, but no matter how timely Feiying sent a letter, there will always be a certain delay. So he only knew that the coalition forces had no results in attacking Xiakou, and when there was heavy rain, the attack had been suspended. However, he did not know that the battle situation had changed unexpectedly.
Of course, even if we don’t know the latest battle situation in Xiakou, Ma Han at least understands that Huang Zu really can’t hold on for long, and he must enter Jiangxia as soon as possible to provide help.
On March 28th, Ma Han saw that Sun Quan had almost withdrawn and the time had come, so he issued an order and the army advanced along the water and land. The navy advanced to Chaisang, and the infantry surrounded Xunyang.
As expected by Ma Han, Guo Jia, Xun You and others, the Chaisang defenders did not respond to the battle at all. When they saw that the Dragon Wolf Army was serious, they quickly withdrew their troops and fled to Xiazhi.
The task of Cheng Pu, Wu Jing and others is to ensure the smooth migration of Nanchang Base Camp. Before this, if the Dragon Wolf Army attacked, it would have to withstand anyway; and after this, there was no need to fight for an empty city.
It was precisely because Ma Han and his advisers saw this that they did not rush to attack. They only sent Gan Ning to suppress the Chaisang defenders. Sure enough, after the people left the building, the Chaisang defenders immediately ran away. The Dragon Wolf Army did not take any sword or arrow, and Yu Zhang started.
So Li Dian and Gan Ning led 8,000 naval troops to rush to rush to the Jiangdong naval army, and raised their flags to the Chaisang. Then, taking advantage of the rush to retreat in a hurry and the fleet was inconsistent, they were about to pursue them, but they were ruthless to the Jiangdong naval army from behind, but suddenly received an order: stop the troops, truce the battle, and retreat back to the Chaisang.
This retreat gave Cheng Pu and Wu Jing a chance to breathe and escape, and at the same time put Huang Zu in a desperate situation.
What happened? Ma Han has always been decisive and decisive, and has retreated from the front without a formation, not to mention that at the critical moment of life and death of allies, it is simply a matter of letting allies roast on the fire.
When Li Dian and Gan Ning hurried back, they rushed into the Chaisang County Government with a look of depression and confusion. Seeing the general who was as heavy as water in the lobby, Guo Jia made a move to silence and handed them a copy of translated information.
When the two of them opened their heads, they found that there were only five small characters on it. Although the characters were small and the writing was small, every word was shocking and shocking. "The emperor died at the end of Yi." (To be continued.)
