Chapter 289 Attack and Defense
Cao Cao laughed and said, "It seems that you have all guessed my plan, so do you think my intentions are appropriate?"
Xun Yu clasped his fists and said, "Although the remnants of Yuan are not as powerful as before, they are ultimately a big trouble. If our army fights Lu Bu or Sun Jian, the remnants of Yuan are attacking behind the scenes, the least the previous efforts are wasted, and the more serious the lord must first purge Yuan before conquering the world." Cao Cao nodded with a smile, "Wen Ruo said exactly what I want." Guo Jia said, "While sending troops to Liaodong, another powerful brigade can approach Hulao Pass to restrain Lu Bu's army to support Sun Jian, so that both of them will be defeated and both will be injured!" Cao Cao laughed, "What Fengxiao said is very true!"
At the same time, far away in Liaodong, the two Yuans, who thought they had nothing to do, fought again for the position of prince, which made Gongsun Kang, the master's family miserable. At this moment, a mysterious guest came to Gongsun Kang's mansion.
The eyes turned back.
Zhang Lang unexpectedly surrounded Nanyang with three armies of 300,000 troops, and the army attacked the city one after another, and the battle was fierce. At this time, Sun Jian was not idle, and used 400,000 heavy troops to counterattack the 300,000 troops led by Zhuge Liang.
The army with the Sun-like battle flag rushed towards the solid camp outside the city like a tide. Countless catapults behind them made whistling sounds. Flying stones covered the sky and sun, and smashed into the camp of Lu Bu’s army like rainstorms, smashed the viewing tower, smashed the fence, and the gate was smashed by a loud rock. A huge rock fell into the army. Blood gushed, and five or six people died on the spot.
Sun Jian's army rushed to the edge of the trench and set up a wooden ladder. Then the trench rushed through the trench along the wooden ladder.
At this moment, the shield line spread out in the camp, and tens of thousands of crossbowmen were exposed, and there were also a stringed crossbow. Tens of thousands of crossbowmen stared at the rushing enemy with cold eyes, and the crossbows were ready to go.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Buzz... With a tremor, the sky suddenly darkened, and the rain of arrows covered the sky. The huge guns and arrows tear the air and made a heart-wrenching roar! There was only a crackling sound, and the waves rushed towards the Sun Jianjun were suddenly paused, and countless Sun Jianjun soldiers fell to the ground or rolled into the trench!
The wave continued to move forward, the rain of arrows continued to pour out, and the flying above the head were huge terrifying stones! The impact of Sun Jianjun was shot overturned, while the shooting of Lu Bujun was hit by a huge rock. The scene was in full swing, and life passed quickly here.
Sun Jianjun rushed through two trenches, rushed to the first fence, and suddenly hit the fence, and began to slash the fence. The crossbowman shot a lot, and then the spearman stepped forward and attacked Sun Jianjun in front of the fence with a spear. They were stabbed to the ground one by one. The scene was a little confused! Sun Jianjun behind him suddenly burst out a wave of spears, and the spearman was shot down a large area without any defense!
The crossbowman retreated to a high place to continue shooting. Sun Jianjun raised the shield to his head, but it could not be completely blocked. Soldiers were constantly shot to the ground by arrows.
The assault force was exhausted and retreated. Another assault force rushed up under the cover of a catapult.
After repeated this, the two sides fought for a whole day.
As the sun sets, Sun Jian's army calls out to withdraw his troops. He sees the fields in front of the Lu Bu army camp, and in the camp, the Lu Bu army is also killed and injured. The soldiers who cleaned the battlefield keep carrying the dead soldiers down, while the other part of the soldiers are busy repairing the damaged fences.
The atmosphere in the capital was a bit depressing. Today's battle suffered a lot, but no progress was made. Sun Jian frowned and said, "Zhuge Liang was very prepared and it was difficult to break through in an urgent manner!" Looking at Zhou Yu, "Gongjin, can I immediately defeat the enemy?"
Zhou Yu said: "The result today was expected! Zhuge Liang is not an ordinary person after all, so we can't defeat him with just one attack!" Then he smiled mysteriously, "But I discovered a flaw in this battle today! During the battle today, I observed carefully from a high place and found that the side of the camp was surrounded by many flags. In fact, there were no many soldiers and horses. All his soldiers were concentrated on our very face and south side. We can take advantage of his flaw!"
Zhou Tai asked: "The Grand Governor wants to attack from the water?"
Zhou Yu nodded: "That's right!"
Zhou Tai frowned and said, "But Zhuge Liang has sunk a ship in the river, and our fleet cannot get through at all. How can we attack from the water?"
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "I am not going to launch a large-scale assault under the brigade of naval forces. If this is possible, Zhuge Liang would not just make a false flag on Linjiang! The naval forces only need to send an elite unit of thousands of people to rush in a light boat and speed up, and attack its camp with lightning speed. Set fire everywhere with great fanfare, and their morale will be in chaos! At the same time, our main force attacked from the front and attacked its camp, which will surely be successful in one battle!"
Sun Jian clapped his high-fives and said, "Okay! This plan is great!"
Zhou Tai quickly clasped his fists and said, "The last general is willing to lead his army to raid the Lu Bu military camp."
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "This battle is with Zhou Tai and Gan Ning. Remember, just attack the North Village. Don't go too deep. Your mission is to set fire everywhere and create momentum. Don't be greedy for merits and advance rashly! If you encounter a small group of enemies, you can firmly annihilate it! If you come with a large group of enemies, you can fight if you can fight, and if you can retreat if you can't fight." The two generals agreed with their fists.
Sun Jian ordered: "Two generals will prepare immediately and set off after midnight today." After the orders, the two generals hurriedly left the hall.
Zhou Yu said to Sun Jian again: "Lord, you should prepare more fire-induced objects for attacks tonight! Once the army breaks into its camp, don't rush to attack in depth. Set fires everywhere immediately! As long as it can cause chaos in Lu Bu's army, Zhuge Liang is a monster and will be powerless to turn things around!" Sun Jian laughed out loud.
Zhuge Liang, who was standing upstairs, saw the busy scene in the Sun Jian army camp from afar. He could tell that Sun Jian army would launch a large attack tonight, and immediately ordered the troops to prepare for battle. Lu Bu's army camp was also busy.
It was late at night, and the world was silent, and all the sounds were gone, only the sound of the whimpering wind, the shadows of the mountains in the distance, and the river beside it was rolling and flowing; the moon in the sky sometimes revealed its true appearance, and sometimes it hid the clouds, and the earth also flashed and darkened.
At this time, the three thousand elite naval forces led by Gan Ning and Zhou Tai had boarded the light boat and the speedboat was not big torch, and they were only circulating slowly with the help of the dim moonlight. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of Sun Jian's army of infantry and cavalry were ready to lie in the city. The world was silent, which was the silence before the war.
