Chapter 344 Zhou Yu may be anxious to jump into the wall

Twenty days later, Gao Shun's army of 100,000 finally approached Hefei.

Xiaoyaojin.

Gan Ning, Gao Shun led dozens of Jinfan River thieves to take a light boat down the river to observe the terrain on both sides of the Feishui River. Gan Ning pointed to Jiangxin Island, which was faintly visible in the misty rain in front of him, and said to Gao Shun: "General, Xiaoyaojin is ahead."

"Well." Gao Shun nodded, "Is this Xiaoyaojin?"

Gan Ning said: "There was a floating bridge on Xiaoyaojin, but now it's gone."

Gao Shundao: "This is also expected. The advantage of Eastern Wu is the navy, while the advantage of our army is the cavalry. Of course, the Wu army would demolish the floating bridge and force our army to engage in water wars that they are not good at."

Gan Ning said: "This guy Zhou Yu is really sinister."

Gao Shun suddenly smiled and said lightly: "The navy is certainly the advantage of the Wu army, but it is also relative!"

Gan Ning said: "The general means..."

Gao Shun said: "Although the Eastern Wu naval army is powerful, its main force is not in Shouchun, but in Huaiyin, the Jiangxia thieves of Zhang Bao, the Eastern Wu naval army that guards Xiaoyaojin will never exceed 2,000 people! In terms of force, it is comparable to Xingba's Jinfan naval army, but in terms of soldiers' quality, the Eastern Wu naval army is far inferior to your Jinfan naval army."

"But." Gan Ning scratched his head, "The last general's navy has no warships."

"Yes." Gao Shun said to Xiaoyaojin and said, "Aren't there many warships moored in Xiaoyaojin's naval camp?"

"Yes." Gan Ning nodded, "I have to find a way to snatch these warships."

Gao Shun said loudly: "Xingba, it is not difficult to seize these warships."

Gan Ning said: "General, let me tell you about the last general, how to steal it?"

Gao Shun said: "The Wu army divided its troops to guard Hefei and Xiaoyaojin. The two Wu army were supporting each other. If our army attacked Hefei very quickly, the Wu army in Xiaoyaojin would come from the water to rescue him. Xingba could lead two thousand water ghosts to lurk in the reeds by the river in advance. When the Wu army moored ashore, only a few soldiers were left to guard the ship, he would take advantage of the opportunity to kill the Wu army and catch him off guard."

That night, at the end of Hefei city.

Huang Gai and Huang Bing were patrolling the city heads by more than a dozen personal soldiers. Suddenly, they heard the sound of killing outside the north gate. When they looked back quickly, they saw that there were already sparks of fires ignited in the originally dark wilderness, and patrons were surging towards Hefei.

Judging from the huge momentum, there must be tens of thousands of people.

A personal soldier shouted: "General, the enemy attack!"

"Yeah." Huang Gai said in a deep voice, "I had known that the Liang army had already reached Hefei, but I didn't expect Gao Shun to attack the city overnight!"

Huang Bian stepped forward and asked, "Father, what should I do now?"

Huang Gai drew his sword and shouted: "I ordered the entire army to drive to the top of the city and prepare to fight!"

Huang Bing said: "Father, should you send someone to General Ding Feng and ask Xiaoyaojin's defenders to come and help the war?"

"No need for the time being." Huang Gai was the general of the hundred battles after all, shook his head and said, "Look at the offensive of the Liang army first. If the Liang army just harasses and does not attack the city with all its strength, there is no need to alarm Xiaoyaojin's defenders."

"Yes, father." Huang Bing bowed with fists, turned around and shouted to the personal soldiers behind him, "Why don't you go and summon the army quickly, go!"

"Abide by the order!"

"Abide by the order!"

"Abide by the order!"

More than a dozen personal soldiers responded to the promise and took the order and left.

When the Wu army in the brigade woke up from their sleep and drove up the city in neatly, the surging Xiliang army barely rushed to the city of Hefei. To Huang Gai's expectation, the Xiliang army launched a rapid attack on Hefei City from the beginning! With the protection of the night, the Xiliang army quickly laid wooden boards on the moat with ladders.

Suddenly, hundreds of Western Liang soldiers were carrying ladders to approach the Hefei city wall. Rolling wood and rocks were mixed with dense arrows, falling like rain from the head of Hefei city. The Liang soldiers under the city wall had nowhere to hide and fell down one by one, but the Liang army's attack did not stop because of this. More soldiers rushed under the city wall without fear of death.

Finally, more than a dozen ladders were erected. More than a hundred Western Liang soldiers, led by the leading school, climbed up to the Hefei city with difficulty in facing the rain-falling rolling wood, stones and sharp arrows. The Liang army's offensive was very rapid. A pot of boiled tincture oil poured down from the city head, burning the foot of the city wall into a Shura Purgatory, which failed to stop the Liang army's attack.

Huang Gai clearly felt the pressure at the end of Hefei city.

"Father!" Huang Bing stepped forward and shouted, "The Liang army's offensive is very fierce. There are only two thousand people in Hefei City. If reinforcements were not arrived, it would be difficult to hold on until dawn!"

"Well." Huang Gai's eyes flashed and he shouted in a deep voice, "Bing'er should go to the Xiaoyaojin Water Army's village quickly and order Ding Feng to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to help the battle!"

"Boy receives the order."

Huang Jie bowed with his fist and turned around and left quickly.

Xiaoyaojin, the Navy's Village.

Ding Feng was awakened from his sleep by the huge shouts of killing. When he came out of the village to check, he found that the sound of killing outside the west gate of Hefei was shocked by the sky, and the burning flames had already reflected half of the sky red.

Amid the rapid and chaotic footsteps, more than a dozen navy generals followed one after another.

"General, it seems that the Liang army is attacking Hefei City."

"There are only two thousand defenders in Hefei City, so I'm afraid I can't stand it. Should I send reinforcements immediately?"

"No!" Ding Feng said decisively, "You must not send troops without obtaining the military order of the Old General Huang."

"General Ding!" As soon as Ding Feng finished speaking, a loud and urgent shout suddenly came from the front, "Where is General Ding Feng?"

"The last one is here!" Ding Feng shouted, "Is the person coming General Huang Bian?"

"It's the last general." Huang Bing greeted Ding Feng, clasped his fists and gasped, "After the order of my father, please send reinforcements quickly."

"The last general received the order!" Ding Feng responded with a loud promise and turned around and shouted to the dozens of naval generals behind him, "Ding Feng (Ding Feng's brother) led his troops to stay in the Dazhai, and the rest of the generals led his troops to quickly reinforce General Huang with his general."

"Abide by the order!"

More than a dozen naval generals agreed.

There are four gates in Hefei, north, west and south gates, all connected by land. Only the east gate is built near the Feishui River. The eastern section of Hefei City is several meters deep into the Feishui River, almost built on the water surface. Therefore, only the navy can attack Hefei East Gate from the water. Next to Hefei East Gate is the ferry. Hundreds of warships of all sizes are quietly moored on the ferry, and two soldiers guarding the watchtower.

Two other boats patrolled the river not far away, and in addition, the nearest military camp to the ferry was fifty steps away.

Outside the south gate of Hefei, the fire was soaring into the sky, and the sound of killing was filled with wild animals, but outside the east gate showed ghostly silence. Under the dark moonlight, a bare reed on the water surface suddenly had no wind and drifted away from the reeds, swaying towards the watchtower on the right side of the ferry.

On the watchtower.

Two Wu soldiers were searching the dark rivers around boredly, but they didn't expect that a dark figure had climbed up the watchtower from behind. A cold light flashed, and the Wu soldiers approaching the Jinfan Shui Pirates had their throats cut off before they could make a sound.

Another Wu army soldier heard the movement and felt a chill of his throat as soon as he turned his head. Then a ferocious face came into his eyes. Wu army soldier was shocked and opened his mouth and screamed hard. Unfortunately, there was only a gurgling sound that came into his ears, which... was the sound of blood gushing out of his throat.

The Jinfan Water Pirate succeeded in the sneak attack and immediately put two fingers into his mouth. Two shrill sounds of water birds sounded under the night sky.

"Wow..."

With the sound of water splashing, countless black figures emerged like ghosts from the reeds on both sides of the ferry, swam quickly towards hundreds of warships moored on the ferry. When You Ge found the situation abnormal, when the two boats on the river were rushing over to observe, the two thousand Jinfan naval army had already robbed hundreds of warships of all sizes and big and small out of the waves.

Before the first time, a ship rushed to the bow, Gan Ning pulled the bow and took the arrow. A Jinfan thief came forward and ignited the turtle cloth wrapped in arrows. With a buzzing sound, the rocket had already swept into the air and drew a dazzling trajectory in the dark sky, which was clearly visible even if it was hundreds of steps apart.

Hefei North Gate.

Accompanied by a distant and desolate horn sound, the Xiliang army crowded under Hefei City suddenly retreated like a tide. Huang Gai breathed a long sigh and began to breathe violently with a long sword pillar. It was really thrilling just now. If Ding Feng's five thousand elite soldiers were a moment late, perhaps Hefei City had been captured by Gao Shun.

"Elder General." Ding Fengying came forward and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Huang Gai shook his hand and gasped, "I am just old and a little exhausted."

"Report..." As soon as Huang Gai finished speaking, a small school rushed up to the city tower and knelt down and said anxiously, "General, something is wrong!"

"Yeah!" Huang Gai said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

The school gasped and said, "Hundreds of warships of all sizes and large and small that were parked at the ferry outside the East Gate were stolen!"

"What!?" Ding Feng was shocked when he heard this and shouted sternly, "This is impossible! Ganning's Jinfan Navy is fighting fiercely with General Jiang Qin's navy in Huaiyin. Apart from Ganning's Jinfan Navy, there are no more naval troops in the Xiliang army. With the 100,000 landslides under Gao Shun, can they still rush across the river to grab the warships?"

The school said in panic: "General, the warship has really been stolen!"

"It's broken!" Huang Gai said tragically, "It's me that I was careless for a moment! Before leaving, the Grand Governor repeatedly reminded me to beware of Gan Ning's Jinfan thief, but I didn't expect that I was careless."

"Report..." As soon as Huang Gai finished speaking, another school rushed up to the city tower and knelt down and said anxiously, "The fire in the direction of Xiaoyaojin is soaring into the sky, and the water army camp is being attacked by the Liang army!"

"The Old General." Ding Feng said anxiously, "What should I do now?"

Huang Gai sighed to the sky: "The warship was taken away, and our army could no longer return to rescue Xiaoyaojin, nor could it stop Gaoshun's army from crossing the north to Shouchun. Alas, I am ashamed of the Grand Governor."

After saying that, Huang Gai drew his sword and wiped it against his neck like lightning.

When Ding Feng rushed forward to seize Huang Gai's sword, he was too late. He could only hold Huang Gai's body and said tragically: "The Old General..."

Five days later, the north of Shouchun City.

Ma Yue, Jia Xu, Li Su, Lu Su, and Kuai Yue, under the escort of Dian Wei and hundreds of iron cavalry, urging the horse to slowly come out of the battle. Not far ahead, the earth platform responsible for Lu Su and Kuai Yue had been built halfway. The earth platform, which was a large part of the wall of Shouchun, was less than fifty feet away from the head of Shouchun City. Two thousand Liang army archers were arranged in ten columns on the earth platform, shooting at the Wu army archers at the head of Shouchun City.

Between the ten columns arranged by archers, the endless stream of Xiliang soldiers were transporting baskets of soil to the earth platform, and then pouring down towards the head of Shouchun City. As each basket of soil fell, the earth platform at the foot of Xiliang army would unstoppably extend to Shouchun City. For twenty days, the Liang army was approaching Shouchun City step by step with this seemingly clumsy but impossible to crack.

Ma Yue said proudly: "It seems that Zhou Yu is really helpless with Zijing's technique of taking soil and filling the city, haha."

Lu Su said: "Prime Minister must not underestimate Zhou Yu. Su can conclude that Zhou Yu must have a solution."

Ma Yue asked back, "Zijing and Zhou Yu were in a battle against each other. Did Zhou Yu crack down on Zijing's technique of taking soil and filling the city?"

Lu Su shook his head and said, "It wasn't there at that time, but more than ten years have passed. Gong Jin must have come up with a solution."

"That's hard to say." Ma Yue said, "The method of taking soil to fill the city is stupid enough, but it is extremely stupid enough, and it is almost impossible to crack it. In short, I can't think of a way to crack it. Can you come up with a solution?"

Jia Xu, Kuai Yue, Li Su and others shook their heads together.

Lu Su said: "But Su thought that you must come up with a solution!"

"It's okay." Ma Yue said calmly, "As the saying goes, soldiers come to block the enemy, and water comes to flood the earth. Even if Zhou Yu breaks down Zi Jing's technique of taking soil to fill the city, I have other ways to defeat him."

"When soldiers come and generals stop them, will the water come and the soil flood?"
