Gan Ning had already prepared a ship to the west of Sanjiangkou. As soon as Long Fei and others arrived, they immediately peeled off the camouflaged branches, revealing a kind of warship with a wide bottom and short sails. This was specially designed by Long Fei. One can carry
The second soldier was tied to the back of the warship, which could transport supplies or be used as a lifeboat in emergencies. The boat didn't look big, and it didn't look crowded with five people and five horses on it.
The navy soldiers started working together, and the large oars rowed hard back in the water. The big boat slowly left the shore and headed towards the center of the river. The Yangtze River is not as turbulent as the Yellow River, but it is much wider than the Yellow River. According to the navy
According to the measurement, the deepest point is more than 20 meters. Even the invincible warships of the navy can sail freely in the Yangtze River. Gan Ning chose a relatively quiet place.
This place is a desolate wilderness, with nothing around, only a few water birds looking for food. Because it is daytime, we cannot approach the dock blatantly, and can only stay far away from Cao Ying. Long Fei leads the horse from the boat with one hand.
Come down and look around: "How far is this place from Red Cliff?"
Gan Ning hurriedly replied: "Ten miles to the northeast is Cao Cao's camp. My lord, if you see the cliff over there, go up to the top and it will be below!"
Looking in the direction of Gan Ning's finger, there is indeed a high mountain in the northeast. One side is gentle, and the other side is a cliff like a knife and an axe. On the other side of the cliff, the rolling murderous aura is rising. Long Fei nodded: "Okay!
You go back to the other side first, and just wait here at this time tomorrow!"
"Lord, take care!" Gan Ning didn't have any unnecessary words. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers boarded the boat and rowed toward the other side. It was winter now, and most of the weeds on the ground had turned yellow. When you stepped on them, the sound of breaking withered grass was particularly loud.
Following Gan Ning's instructions, and under the leadership of Long Fei, everyone rode straight towards the cliff. The northwest wind was strong, and it already had the slightest chill on their bodies.
Came to the foot of the mountain. This mountain is about twenty feet high. It is said to be a mountain, but in the north it can only be called a slope. Long Fei called a few people to him and ordered: "When we get here, I will give you
Let me tell you, this trip was partly to explore the camp, and partly to lure out a spy, so it was extremely dangerous. Just in case, we couldn’t stay together and had to set up more lines of defense. Meng Shuo,
You stay at the foot of the mountain and monitor, and deal with any changes first!"
"promise!"
Long Fei looked at Xu Chu again and Chen Dao said: "You two are on the mountainside. If there is any movement at the bottom of the mountain, report it immediately! Dian Wei and I will go to the top of the mountain. Early tomorrow morning, if there is nothing abnormal, we will gather here. Do you understand?"
The five people went their separate ways. Long Fei took Dian Wei and rode up the mountain. The mountain was not high and the terrain was relatively flat. The tall trees had been cut down by Cao's army and used to make warships or camps, leaving only those small ones as thick as an arm.
Tree. When they were approaching the top of the mountain, Long Fei jumped off his horse, tied Yu Feng to a nearby tree, and came to the top of the mountain to lie down on the ground.
Gan Ning was right. Below is indeed Cao Jun's camp. Cao Jun's camp is divided into three levels. The outermost layer is the navy camp, which extends to the middle of the Yangtze River. Rows of warships are neatly arranged.
, various small boats shuttled between them. The stern of each boat was distinguished by flags of different colors. The red ones were warships that conveyed messages and military orders. Any ship that encountered them must get out of the way immediately. The yellow ones were for transporting supplies and grain.
The warships are responsible for the supply of each warship. The black ones are the patrol ships, which are well organized and do their own thing.
The second level, close to the shore, is the infantry camp. The infantry is divided into elite and ordinary infantry. The elite infantry is in the middle, and the ordinary infantry is split on both sides. The infantry is in front and the archers are behind. On the outside of the infantry camp,
Layers of tall wooden piles were artificially planted near the river. They were probably used to prevent the enemy warships from landing after being washed ashore by the enemy. The layout of the infantry camp was different from that on land.
, everyone is facing the direction of the Yangtze River, and there is no response behind them.
The third and final level is a camp composed of 50,000 cavalry. The camp is built on a gentle slope, which is very beneficial to the cavalry's charge. If the enemy breaks through the two front lines of defense, the 50,000 cavalry can charge in one go.
Drive the opponent into the river. Cao Cao's central military tent is also in the cavalry camp. The high platform in the middle is there. Scouts come and go, and the messengers on fast horses are constantly coming in and out of the entrance of the cavalry camp.
.There are also many scribes who will emerge from the Chinese army's tent from time to time.
In addition to these three levels of camps, Cao Cao also had another plan. On the slope between the cavalry camp and the infantry camp, a large number of thunderbolt chariots were placed. The number was so large that they were almost next to each other. Even if the navy encountered
No matter what the problem is, these Thunderbolt Vehicles can also serve as reinforcements. The large rocks they throw can completely smash a wooden warship to pieces.
Long Fei watched and drew at the same time, not missing every detail. Even the tents of the soldiers had to be carefully recorded. This was a habit he developed when he was in the special operations brigade. Success or failure depends on the details. This is his saying
motto.
He stayed on the top of the mountain for a whole day, drinking water when he was thirsty and nibbling a mouthful of dry food when he was hungry. Long Fei didn't stop for a moment. He almost used up the few pieces of charcoal he brought from Sanjiangkou, and finally made it before the sun set.
The overall picture of Cao Ying's camp was inseparable. Dian Wei stayed by his side all the time. Long Fei was worried that Dian Wei would cause trouble, so he took him with him. Now it seems that this approach was correct.
Long Fei let out a long breath. Dian Wei immediately came over and said, "Boss, how are you? Can you go down and kill for a while?"
Long Fei glared at him: "We are here to visit the camp, not to fight. There are hundreds of thousands of troops below. Can we kill them all? Come down the mountain!"
"Oh!" Dian Wei agreed gloomily, stood up slowly, and went to lead the horse. As soon as he moved, "Whoosh!" the sound of an arrow piercing the air suddenly came. Dian Wei was also experienced in the battlefield.
He immediately picked up his left halberd, moved it outward, hit the arrow just in time, and knocked the arrow away: "Who is it? Come out!"
Looking at the dark forest, it was eerily quiet, with no sound of death. Long Fei hurriedly pulled Dianwei, and the two of them lay on the ground again, staring at the forest with wide eyes. The moonlight was blocked by the branches and leaves and filtered through the gaps.
Shining into the forest, you can vaguely see a dozen dark shadows either behind trees, in the grass, or behind big rocks.
Long Fei had an ominous premonition in his heart. From the situation, he knew without guessing that these must be Cao Cao's people, but why didn't Xu Chu, Chen Dao, Meng Shuo and others raise any alarm? Could it be that...? Long Fei didn't dare to go there.
I thought for a moment, observing those dark shadows, and thinking about how to escape.
There was a slight sound of fighting at the bottom of the mountain. It was not loud but could still be heard clearly. Long Fei felt somewhat comforted in his heart. The fighting meant that Xu Chu and others were fine. Dian Wei wanted to rush out in a hurry, but Long Fei hurriedly
Grab it.
"General Long! I know it's you!" A voice shouted to them: "My lord has an order. As long as General Long surrenders, we will never touch your subordinates!"
Long Fei didn't answer. After a while, the man said: "General Long, you can't leave. The foot of the mountain has been surrounded by ten thousand soldiers and horses. I'm just here to persuade you. If you don't agree, we will take action!"
"Fuck you! How can you come out and kill grandpa if you can? Look at grandpa, I won't chop you all into pieces!" Dian Wei couldn't help it anymore and broke away from Long Fei's restraints like a tiger.
Likewise, he rushed towards the black figures on the opposite side.
The opponent was well prepared, and the moment Dian Wei rushed out, several bowstrings sounded, and the sharp arrows shot towards Dian Wei with a cold brilliance under the moonlight. Dian Wei danced his halberds and flipped them up and down.
Flying, all the arrows were knocked down in an instant. With a loud roar, two iron halberds hit a stone heavily. The big stone was smashed into powder, and Cao Jun behind the stone was also killed on the spot.
Dian Wei turned around and rushed towards another Cao Jun who was hiding behind a tree. When the archer on the opposite side saw it, he immediately bent his bow and aimed an arrow at Dian Wei's back. Just as he was about to exert force with his right arm, he felt pain in his neck, and a blast
A red light flashed, and all the strength in the whole body was gone in an instant. It was extremely difficult to breathe in. When he reached out and touched it, something sticky was flowing out from his neck. The three or five archers were unprepared and were attacked by Long Fei.
Cut throats one by one from behind.
Dian Wei moves left and right, no matter where you are hiding, as long as Dian Wei sees you, you will smash everything including the concealment and people. A pair of iron halberds swing open with the sound of wind, and a big tree as thick as a bowl will be blown away.
The halberd must be broken. The remaining Cao soldiers were so frightened that they turned around and ran away.
Dian Wei was about to chase after him, but Long Fei hurriedly stopped him: "Be careful of falling into a trap!" As he spoke, a sharp whistle came from Long Fei's mouth, gentle and melodious, and could be heard in the whole forest.
Clearly.
Meng Shuo heard the whistle and stabbed to death the Cao soldiers who were coming towards him. He turned his horse's head and ran towards the mountain instead. Behind him, Cao Jun shouted and chased after him, and the arrows flew past Meng Shuo's head. Meng Shuo
The spear danced away, protecting his back and the horse, clamping the horse's belly with both legs, and just rushed up the mountain without looking back. When Chen Dao and Xu Chu heard the whistle, they looked at each other. Xu Chu was in front, slashing left and right with his broadsword.
Chen Dao followed closely behind and stabbed Cao Jun who was chasing him to death. The two cooperated tacitly, and confidently handed their backs to their companions, and they moved forward one after another.
Rushing up the mountain.
After repelling the first wave of Cao's troops, Long Fei turned over and mounted his horse, took off his thunderbolt gun, and looked coldly at the huge black shadow in front of him rushing towards him, with a serious expression on his face, and he tightened his grip on the gun barrel with both hands.
.This battle can be regarded as a battle of life and death. Whether you can return alive depends on whether you can break out of the siege of Cao Jun.
"Kill!" Long Fei shouted. Dian Wei rushed out faster than Long Fei, raising his halberds high and shouting, the two of them plunged into the darkness one after the other.
