Chapter 11 Answer the question! After the plan to cross the river in white clothes is cracked
In October of the 24th year of Jian'an, General Guan Yu, under the command of the King of Hanzhong, mobilized elite troops to besiege Fancheng. Fancheng was in danger, and dozens of people were shocked every day.
King Cao Cao of Wei sent twelve battalions of elite soldiers overnight to defend Fancheng.
All the trump cards that could be used in his hand, such as Xu Huang, Jiang Ji, Sima Yi, Man Chong, Cao Ren and other masters, were all used.
Even his brave and capable Huang Xuer Cao Zhang was sent.
This is a fight to the death with Guan Yu.
Lü Meng, the governor of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, took advantage of this opportunity to select elite soldiers and hide them in the boats. He also made the oarsmen, as merchants in white, travel day and night to the south county of Jingzhou.
It is absolutely impossible to do such a large-scale military operation without letting people know anything about it and without disguise.
So Lu Meng must take risks!
If you want to attack by surprise, you can't let the enemy be prepared for him.
Since a large number of merchant ships were used as a cover, the people on the merchant ships could not be equipped with heavy armor. If he could deceive the enemy and successfully occupy the beacon tower so that they could not send signals to Guan Yu, then Lü Meng would be lucky.
If the opponent discovered his conspiracy and fired at random, the soldiers without armor would become living targets.
He has always followed the life creed of "Don't enter the tiger's den to catch the tiger's cubs" and dares to take risks. Moreover, their people contacted Fu Shiren, and the other party's housekeeper was still collecting money.
But the housekeeper said that the more he collected, the less General Fu Shiren would dare to come forward, for fear that the matter would be exposed.
This statement seems very reasonable.
Lu Meng looked at the torches on the beacon tower ahead, and then at his soldiers who were shivering from the cold, and encouraged them:
"My sons! Wealth is sought in danger! If my plan comes true, Governor Zhou Gongjin's last wish will be realized in our hands! The lord's reward is indispensable!"
He did not dare to say the following words. If we fail, our expedition this time will be destined to have no return.
"Report! I have something to report to the big shopkeeper!"
This is the seventh batch of messengers coming in small boats to report back.
Their secret code is that Lu Meng is the boss. Wu Fan, Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong and others also have their own titles.
Even if the people on the merchant ship don't wear armor, they can't confuse the enemy.
We have to act in batches to make this business move appear reasonable.
But such a division of troops increases the risk of the operation.
"Come up! Speak!"
Lu Meng ordered people to build long logs to meet the sampan.
The seventh batch of envoys looked happy: "Grand Shopkeeper, although additional troops are not allowed to stop at all guard posts opposite, all the brothers followed the Great Shopkeeper's clever plan, and the lights on the seven beacon towers were all extinguished..."
Wu Fan blew his hand with the hot air from his mouth, rubbed it a few times, and said with great joy, "I guess I succeeded! The great shopkeeper is a talented person. In my opinion, the big shopkeeper's plan is better than that of Zhou Gongjin and Lu Zijing."
Not to mention giving in too much!”
Lu Meng looked ahead calmly: "Don't be proud yet. We will be happy when we all successfully land ashore!"
He thought to himself, it seems that the guards left by Guan Yu at the beacon tower are quite alert.
Merchant ships are allowed to enter all guard posts of the beacon tower, but the number of people cannot exceed the quota, otherwise they will not be allowed to dock.
The other party's interrogation was very strict.
But he still laughed secretly in his heart: "So what? Can't I, Lu Meng, still use the strategy of dividing my troops to destroy your beacon tower so that it can't report the news to Guan Yu?"
He was even thinking that when all my troops landed, I would meet the beacon guard.
He would probably be tied down by us then, haha.
Lu Meng's strategy was to capture Guan Yu's guards on the beacon tower in batches.
His people are all elites selected from a hundred. As long as they can go to the beacon tower, with their martial arts, it doesn't matter if they don't have armor, they will definitely be able to resolve the battle as quickly as possible.
Guan Suo thought it was too troublesome to "contain them all", so when this group of Soochow "merchants" who had no long weapons, no armor, and only short blades for body protection entered the encirclement despite the freezing cold wind, he directly captured them all and killed them.
The Guansuo faction is also full of elite soldiers.
The elite soldiers of Jingzhou and the elite soldiers of hundreds of battles who came from Cao Wei.
He's not talking about anything inspiring.
Just one sentence: "Those who have merit in killing thieves will have all the money on their ships divided equally among the brothers."
Lu Meng did a complete show. Since it is a merchant ship, it would be nonsense if there are no goods and no money on board.
So each ship has a lot of treasure.
Guan Suo accepted them all.
Lu Meng thought that all Guan Yu's actions were under his control.
In fact, every step he takes is under Guan Suo's control.
All people in each boat must be naked, otherwise the Jingzhou garrison will rush down and prevent them from being stranded on the shore.
At each beacon tower, kill all the Wu soldiers, put out the fire immediately, and distribute the money on the spot.
The elite soldiers in Guan Suo's hands are very motivated to fight.
While dividing the money, he said: "It would be great if I could always stay with the Third Young Master in the future."
"Nonsense, who doesn't like Third Young Master?"
"That's right, who wouldn't want to follow him and enjoy the hot and spicy food?"
Lu Meng's detection ship cannot go close to the shore. It can only judge whether it is successful by watching the beacon fire extinguishing the fire from a distance.
All I got was fake news.
Everything they saw was just what Guan Suo wanted them to see.
The big guys from Soochow were full of confidence on the ship and wanted to seize Jingzhou and attack Guan Yu.
No one knew that during this one-day trip to hell, none of them could get a return ticket, not one of them.
Fortunately, Lu Xun didn't come with him this time.
When all the beacon fires along the river were extinguished, Lu Meng's heart was beating loudly and he ordered to move forward quickly!
His soldiers were extremely excited. Although they did not dare to make any noise, they all looked happy!
The cold wind blew into my bones late at night.
Some Wu soldiers were almost frozen to death.
When they were still a hundred meters away from the shore and thought victory was in sight, they suddenly heard countless roars that could tear the endless night apart:
"Fire the arrow!"
Locust-like arrows were shot towards the Soochow fleet!
Some were rockets, and some arrows were coated with poison.
I am afraid that Wu Bing will not be able to survive.
Lu Meng was shocked that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas passed into nirvana!
Some of the hulls quickly caught fire, and Wu soldiers were burned to death, shot to death, and fell into the water, killing countless others.
Who knew that the big surprise Guan Suo had prepared for Lu Meng was not over yet!
In an instant, the beacon lights came back on, and eighteen streaks of smoke shot into the sky one after another.
Wolf smoke shines brighter in the dark and is easier for Guan Yu to see than during the day!
Lu Meng was so shocked that he beat his chest and stamped his feet: "Oh my God! I have fallen into the trap! Since Jingzhou is already prepared, Guan Yu will rush back to help when he sees the smoke. This is a big deal!"
His risky plan was based on a time lag. If Jingzhou was captured before Guan Yu returned for reinforcements, Guan Yu would definitely be doomed even though he had extraordinary abilities.
By then all the families of his soldiers have fallen, and it will be impossible to fight to the death for him.
Once the morale of the army collapsed, Guan Yu's life would come to an end.
But now the beacon tower is burning with smoke!
This is what Lu Meng fears most!
ah!
Woohoo!
Well!
…
There were countless heartbreaking screams and howls, mixed with the biting cold wind. Because our soldiers had no armor to protect themselves, they were hit by rockets and poisonous arrows. Every one of them would die!
I originally wanted to capture the beacon tower guard and humiliate him!
Now it seems that they have been prepared for a long time and may have been waiting for this day for a long time!
Otherwise, where can I find so many ready-made rockets and poisonous arrows?
"Retreat, or attack with all your might?"
Now the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Lu Meng, is in a stalemate in his thinking.
At the most critical moment of the war, what is competing is the coach's willpower and judgment.
If you retreat, the enemy will pursue you desperately, and the elite soldiers of Soochow will suffer heavy casualties!
So if we seize the beacon tower at all costs, and then persuade Fu Shiren, a bastard of low character, to surrender, will there be any chance of a comeback?
Lu Meng suddenly had a severe headache.
This decision is really difficult to make.
Guan Suo was determined to make his thinking more confusing, so he hid in the dark and asked Lu Meng to activate the system with a smile.
It doesn't matter if you can't recognize which one it is, as long as it's within sight.
Just when Lu Meng's head was already in a mess, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the sky:
"Answer the question! After the plan of crossing the river in white was cracked, by whom did Lu Meng die?"
"a, Guansuo."
"b, Sun Quan."
"c, Lu Xun."
"d, Cao Ren."
"e, Linghun."
