Chapter 320 Galloping Jianghan (2)
"My father has a little food lately and is worried, but because the Marquis of Wu drew elite troops?" Zhu Ran walked out of the cabin and put a big cloak on Zhu Zhi.
The weather is not cold at this moment, but Zhu Zhi is a little older after all, and Zhu Ran is very filial, so he took out a cloak.
Zhu Ran was Zhu Zhi's adopted son. His original surname was Shi, and he was the son of Zhu Zhi's sister. In his early years, Zhu Zhi had no son, so he asked Sun Ce to summon him as his adopted son with the ritual of sheep and wine.
This is based on the genealogy, the official status is no different from that of the legitimate son.
When Zhu Ran was young, he studied with Sun Quan and had a lot of feelings. When he grew up, he was brave and wise.
There are so many great strategists and generals in Jiangdong.
"Yifeng knows the thoughts of being a father." Zhu Zhi showed a look of relief, patted Zhu Ran's hand, and then sighed: "In order to compete with the Guan family for Nanjun, Wu Hou has already dispatched 110,000 elite troops to station in Jingzhou. The road of grain is very long. He also ordered me to lead troops to escort the food and grass westward. Now the east of the Yangtze River is empty, and I am afraid that the mountains will move, the sky will collapse and the earth will break."
"Zhou Yu is aggressive and is right to take Nanjun, but it's really a bit of a risk."
"I hope this year will be good weather and the mountains will have sufficient food, so the mountains will not go down the mountain to rob." Zhu Ran also knew about this and sighed.
Shanyue is a mountain citizen. The reason why he went south to rob was because he was not eating enough. If the food was harvested, he would naturally be in peace.
Zhu Zhi nodded when he heard this, hoping that's what it is.
Zhu Zhi's fleet allowed the king to set up a beacon tower on the north shore to see.
There was a team of people in charge of a beacon tower. After seeing the situation, the soldiers on the beacon tower entered the beacon tower and reported to the head.
Shi Chang heard the news and said, "As soon as the plan was planned, ride two horses to the next beacon tower, and pass the news to General Wang's ears."
"No." The two soldiers in the beacon tower responded to the promise, and each rode his war horses and headed west.
However, in order to avoid alerting the snake, the war was not ignited. Instead, the Jiangdong naval army galloped westward and went upstream, but was not moving fast.
The beacon tower is ten miles away, and the news is passed down step by step. When it comes to the next beacon tower, change people and horses, and the horse's speed can be maintained.
When the news came, Wang Wei was eating wine in the big tent and enjoying delicious fish soup. After smelling the news, he immediately put down the wine bowl.
"Transfer the news to General Huang, General Liao, and General Ding, and each ordered his troops." Wang Wei said.
"No." The personal soldiers responded to No, and were about to go down. Wang Wei called out again, "Wait, what's the wind today?"
"It's the west wind blowing." The personal soldiers replied.
"It's God really helping me. I'm preparing quicklime, beans, and sand." Wang Wei laughed and instructed.
"No." The personal soldiers understood what they were going to do and agreed to the promise.
Not long after, a noise broke out in the water village. Huang Zhong, Ding Feng and Liao Huaben were all working. After receiving the news, they immediately ordered the soldiers to trade ships.
They each brought their own armor and headed to the river bank. They saw Wang Dao wearing armor.
"General Wang." The three generals saluted together.
Even Huang Zhong had no objection to Wang Wei commanding the navy, because Wang Wei was a famous general in Jingzhou and was extremely capable of fighting. Before, Huang Zhong was just a county general, and Ding Feng and Liao Hua were even younger generations.
"The other side has many warships, and the general who led the army was named Zhu, probably Zhu Zhi."
"Today is a good wind. I prepared quicklime, beans, and sand. When I beat it, I first used lime to fool their eyes, beans, and sand so that they could not gain a foothold." Wang Wei said the news first and then said.
"No." The three generals agreed, and then all the generals boarded the ship, leaving only a small number of troops to guard the water camp, opened the gate of the water camp, and warships successively used them.
Go with the wind and go with the flow to the east.
The veteran general Huang Zhong was the vanguard and led his troops in front.
"Wow!!" The water waves rolled, and the sound of water kept coming. The flags were facing the wind, and the sound of the rushing sounded. Huang Zhong stood at the bow of the ship with his armor and held his sword.
The old general has a strong red face.
The navy was following the water and riding the wind and waves. Not long after, Huang Zhong saw countless warships of Zhu Zhi, but Huang Zhong turned back instead.
"Welcome the impact!!!" Huang Zhong and his soldiers grabbed the object and welcomed the impact. The front end of the warship was usually equipped with sharp objects to fix things similar to spears.
The navy moves forward and rides the wind and waves. The two sides suddenly meet, and the warships of whom are fighting for are stronger.
Therefore, Huang Zu's warship was defeated repeatedly due to disrepair.
.........
The Jiangdong Navy, of course, also saw the oncoming Wang Wei Navy. The officer who was in charge of the vanguard, ordered people to beat the drums and drums.
Without making any more orders, the civilian ships carrying food slowed down and then shouted the civilians to start raising the canvas.
"Rise the sail, raise the sail."
The ship was against the current and against the wind, so of course the canvas was put down. At this moment, the civilian ship was about to escape, and the canvas rose, and the wind blew the civilian ship backed.
The boat is as slow as a snail when sailing against the wind, but the boat is as fast as lightning.
However, the naval warships in Jiangdong did not retreat, but set up a cone formation and met them.
In the rear, Zhu Zhi heard the sound of gongs and drums, so he asked his personal soldiers to give him leather armor and hang a sword. Zhu Ran was the same. Zhu Zhi turned to Zhu Ran and said, "The others are unknown, but Wang Wei is a long-time general in Jingzhou and is a fighter. He should not underestimate the navy commander. Be careful."
"No." Zhu Ran bowed to the promise, but was not afraid.
Wang Wei and others wanted to rob the grain ship, while Zhu Zhi and others were guarding each other. Naturally, both sides would meet good talents. Huang Zhong ordered the warship to accelerate and crash over, and ordered the soldiers to throw lime from the holes on both sides of the cabin.
The Jiangdong navy was immediately hit, and lime powder blew into the eyes from the hole in front of the cabin.
The soldiers of the Jiangdong naval army could not open their eyes for a while, and a few even shed tears.
"Close your eyes, close your eyes." The experienced naval officer exclaimed.
With a "boom", soon after, the warships on both sides collided. The warships were unstable and shaking continuously, and a small boat was overturned. After the collision, Huang Zhong rushed out of the cabin with a ring-headed sword in one hand and a shield in the other.
The Jiangdong navy on the warship ahead also rushed to the deck. However, Huang Zhong's soldiers took the opportunity to throw beans and sand. The Jiangdong navy caught off guard and took a few of them to the ground.
The archers under Huang Zhong began to shoot and kill. After a confrontation, Huang Zhong gained a little advantage. After that, Huang Zhong jumped and jumped onto the other side's warship, holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and then began to fight.
"Puchi, puchi." The veteran general was extremely brave and had extremely rich experience in water battles. Although the warships under his feet were shaking, the veteran general was very stable.
With one knife, one can cut down an opponent's soldier. At the same time, Huang Zhong's personal soldiers also followed, and the two sides confronted fiercely on the Jiangdong Navy warship.
There was no general on the warship, so naturally it could not stop Huang Zhong. Seeing that the situation was wrong, many of the remaining soldiers said, "Hurry, dive and escape."
So many Jiangdong naval troops turned over and jumped into the water, then looked for the small boats of Jiangdong naval troops, and then boarded the boat to fight again.
The Jiangdong Navy is also strong and will never collapse due to temporary setbacks.
Although Huang Zhong occupied an enemy ship, on the contrary, the Jiangdong Navy also occupied a lot of Huang Zhong's warships. The two sides fought and had a victory or defeat.
Not long after, Ding Feng and Liao Hua also joined the war. The warships on both sides had me and I had you. The scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
Wang Wei's navy army in the rear remained motionless, and Wang Wei stood at the bow of the ship to watch the situation. Seeing that both sides were entangled, the other party's grain ship had already run away. He waved his hand and said, "Let the boat go around and go to chase the other party's grain ship. rush over as much as you can, mainly burning the other party's grain ship."
"No." Wang Wei's personal soldiers responded, and then there were ten soldiers, more than 5,000 soldiers and hundreds of small boats, separated from both sides of the battle ahead, chasing the grain ships in Jiangdong.
The navy troops on both sides had no time to take care of the battle ahead. However, Zhu Zhi had extremely rich experience in water wars, so he even asked the boat to intercept them when he saw this.
The two sides fought again, but some of Wang Wei's small boats broke through Zhu Zhi's defense and rushed towards the grain ship.
Wang Wei, Huang Zhong, Ding Feng, Liao Hua and others combined, and there were more people than Zhu Zhi.
If the two sides fight, this gap in numbers is nothing, but Zhu Zhi is escorting food, which is a problem.
The boat was extremely fast, as fast as an arrow, and caught up with the slow-moving grain ship. The soldiers under Wang Wei quickly boarded the boat with ropes and ordered the archers to shoot arrows.
Although the grain ship was a civilian ship, there were also some archers on the ship. Both sides shot each other and suffered casualties. The key was that there were many small boats, and they bit a grain ship. Soon, the soldiers of Jiangdong on the grain ship could not support it and abandoned the ship and fled. The soldiers of Wang Weishui began to board the ship. Without saying a word, they ignited the entire grain ship, and then jumped into the water and returned to the ship.
Wang Wei's navy burned more than a dozen grain ships in Jiangdong, and one grain ship had at least 10,000 kilograms of grain, burning at least 10,000 stones of grain from the other party.
Then the battle between the two sides ended. Although Wang Wei, Huang Zhong, Ding Feng, Liao Hua and others fought desperately, the navy was not as elite as the Jiangdong naval army. Although the number of people was the upper hand, they could not defeat Zhu Zhi, so both sides stopped their troops and left.
Zhu Zhi protected the food and did not dare to move westward, so he ordered the ship to turn around and go to Jiangxia E County, and join the ten thousand naval troops left behind in Jiangxia.
Wang Wei, Huang Zhong, Ding Feng, Liao Hua and others led the navy and warships back to the water camp. Although both sides suffered damage in this battle, they did not gain any advantage.
However, more than a dozen grain ships on the other side were burned and the tactical purpose was achieved. From top to bottom, the morale was quite high. After Wang Wei returned to the water camp, he ordered the officials to take the stored jerky meat, bacon and other items, reward the soldiers, treat the wounded soldiers, and imprison the prisoners.
After one operation, Wang Wei called Huang Zhong, Ding Feng, and Liao Hua and said, "Let's have a big meal and celebrate the merits."
