Chapter 967 Baling Lost and Jiang Gan Persuading to Surrender
The horses have been quietly moved away, and the thorns are being cleared away one by one by the lying people. Some people are unpacking packages of objects wrapped in oil paper on the beach. These are the same things just now.
It is the thing that people protect most carefully. In order to prevent these objects from getting wet, the soldiers of the Sun Army who swam ashore lifted them above their heads and floated all the way over.
At this time, when it was revealed, it was discovered that it was the same thing as the most powerful weapon in Cao's army - explosives.
Before Sun Ce intercepted the batch of gunpowder in Yuzhang, he had done all kinds of research and imitated Cao Zhi's deadly weapons and explosives. They even captured a Cao Zhi army in the Chaohu area when they were fighting for the water city.
The "flying spear leg" that fell into the water but did not explode.
However, despite the seizure of samples, Sun Ce's imitation research over the years has not made much progress. However, it was only after they obtained genuine finished gunpowder in Yuzhang that their firearm applications were greatly improved.
They had long collected the appearance and shape of several sharp firearms from Cao Zhi. Now that they had the core additives, they immediately packaged them and made dozens of bundles of explosives. Because according to the instructions of the "Flying Spear Leg"
The filling amount is too large. Have Sun Ce and the others mastered the formula for producing this kind of gunpowder? The limited gunpowder currently available in Sun Junzhong is a disposable consumable that becomes less and less used, so it must be used with maximum value. Sun Ce has advocated giving up manufacturing in front of him.
This kind of super-large weapon that can knock down a section of a city wall is the kind of weapon that Cao Zhi used to make explosives smaller and tied to arrows.
Sun Ce did this in order to make the few weapons he had larger and more widely used in the next series of wars. This would not only expand the radiation area of this weapon, but also strive for a larger
, more wins.
After Sun Ce's death, except for some of the explosives from Zhou Yu who had already gone on an expedition, Zhang Hong brought the rest to Sun Quan. Sun Quan was a man who knew how to save money. For the sake of victory, he gave all the remaining explosives to his commander.
Sun Kuang's team from the Sharp Knife Mission.
While the first few were busy clearing the obstacles built by Cao Jun under the beach city, some Sun Jun soldiers had already bent their bows and arrows, and aimed explosives thicker than firecrackers at Baling City.
On top of the city defense. Next to each person, there is a full-time person holding a fire folder waiting at the side, ready to light a fire at any time.
At this time, as the enemy-resistant obstacles under the city gate were slowly and unnoticed by Sun Kuang and others, the sound of swiping iron caltrops finally attracted the attention of the young soldiers mumbling to themselves on the city.
"Wang Ergou, is that you? What the hell are you talking about?"
Just when the young soldier disturbed the veteran's drowsiness and was forced to wake up, an unknown object suddenly roared and flew towards the two recruits and veterans who were standing guard, interrupting the two soldiers.
Personal conversation.
With the attack of this unknown weapon, a large ball of fire was released. In just one blow, the arrow stack that was used as a bunker was flattened, and by the way, the veteran who was cursing just now was brought alive.
Gone.
The recruit's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. He didn't understand that this was called an explosion. It was a sign of the beginning of an attack. He was completely stupid until two consecutive fires appeared and a deafening explosion happened around him again.
After flashing twice not far away, he shouted "Ah!" because a bomb exploded not far away from him, blowing off one of his legs.
The loud noise that almost deafened his ears was different from before. It was too close to us and out of defense. The recruit only felt a burst of breathlessness, and his heart seemed to have been hit hard by something.
But the severe pain told him that a certain part of his body had been blown away, but he could still move, holding his injured leg and screaming. But as the explosive fireball burned, a pungent burnt smell hit his face.
Coming, coupled with the nervousness, there was a lot of black smoke, which immediately made the recruit have no strength left to cry. Now the recruit didn't have to worry about not having a chance to shed tears, because the tears were flowing freely.
's came out.
Sun Kuang and others used bows and arrows at the bottom of the city and fired several arrows tied with explosives at the top of the city and at the city gate. Suddenly, the entire city was filled with smoke and there were endless rumbling noises. Inside the city
Many Cao Jun veterans lay on the ground holding their heads, feeling an inexplicable and strange feeling in their hearts.
"Isn't this something they often used to throw at others? They all know it as explosives in the military! Isn't this something unique to them?"
When a series of questions arose in the minds of some veterans of the Cao Army, were there too many? Suddenly one thing came to mind, and that was "explosives?"
Now in the world, except for Cao's army, the only ones with weapons like explosives in the world are Sun Ce's army. Sun Ce is dead, so there should only be such high-standard weapons...
"Sun Quan's main force is here..."
Panicked screams and rumbling explosions woke up the entire army and civilians in Baling City. When Cao Hong ran out of the temporary residence where he was staying in Baling City, dragging the pants he had just taken off, the deafening shouts of killing had already come from the opposite direction.
People from outside the city of Baling Lake poured in...
The 8,000 Cao troops that Cao Hong had just stationed in Baling City were blown away by Sun Quan's explosives. The defeated troops retreated by land and water. Sun Quan's pursuers arrived again. Cao Hong, who had fled by boat to the north bank of the river, ordered the remaining boats to be set on fire.
, to avoid being captured by Sun Quan, they retreated wildly towards Red Cliff by land.
This cousin of Cao Zhi also achieved the biggest defeat in the entire Battle of Chibi! It is really gratifying. If Cao Cao is knowledgeable underground, he will definitely jump up and kick this unfortunate family's ass!
########Cao Zhi's waiting time was far longer than Sun Jing realized. He had no time to estimate the war behind him at this time. He was actively preparing how to eat Zhou Yu's troops in front of him.
Jiang Gan, who was sent to announce the funeral and shaken the morale of Zhou Yu's troops, has been sent. How muddy this rotten scholar can make the water on Zhou Yu's side depends on his ability. Cao Zhicai didn't dare to tell whether Jiang Gan was fooled by Zhou Yu or whether he was on the other side of the river.
Is there a "Meeting of Heroes" going on? His final battle plan has entered the final stage of preparation and implementation.
It is impossible for Zhou Yu to hold any "Group of Heroes" at this time. Since Cao Zhi disrupted this period of history, Zhou Yu now holds a "Mass Funeral Party".
Zhou Yu received news that Jiang Gan was wearing mourning clothes. As soon as he entered the village gate, he came to Zhou Yu to mourn the death of Sun Ce.
As soon as Zhou Yu saw Jiang Gan's dress, his heart sank, and he thought to himself: "Cao Zhi, you are such a scheming bastard. I want to hide the news of Sun Ce's death for a while, so you might as well just send someone over to attend the funeral!"
Zhou Yu was definitely determined to kill Jiang Qian, his "old classmate" immediately. Who in the world didn't know that the person who assassinated Sun Ce was your Cao Zhi's man? It's really funny that he even sent people to attend the funeral?
What does it mean to confuse right and wrong? What does it mean to confuse right and wrong? This is it! I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people. I was stunned to be able to bear the aura of a murderer and shout, "Sun Ce, you died unjustly!"
Coming to express condolences, in Zhou Yu's eyes, Cao Zhi immediately rose to an otherworldly realm!
"This Jiang Gan is even more unforgivable. He doesn't care about helping Zhou to do evil. He still dares to shake my military morale during such an important confrontation between the two armies. Damn it! You think I don't dare to kill you for the sake of my classmates.
Is it done?"
Zhou Yu calmly criticized Jiang Gan and said sarcastically to Jiang Gan: "Zi Yi has good intentions and traveled far and wide to express condolences to Bo Fu for the Cao family. I think he also acted as a lobbyist and persuaded me to surrender."
?”
Now gathered in Zhou Yu's tent are Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, Lu Fan and other mid-level and senior generals. It can be said that this is a more formal scene for receiving enemy troops. Many people want to hear about the first direct contact, relying on the strength of the troops.
Cao Zhi, who had the advantage of warships and suffered a lot of losses, sent people to convey his intentions.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Gan walked in with a cry of mourning. When everyone was surprised, he received confirmation of Sun Ce's death from Zhou Yu.
The tent suddenly exploded, and there was a constant buzz. Many people couldn't believe it. After Zhou Yu confirmed the matter, they burst into tears soon. Many people rushed outside the tent, knelt on the ground facing the east and raised their heads.
Calling Sun Ce's name.
There were more people in the tent who couldn't care less about their grief, because Zhou Yu exposed Jiang Gan's true purpose, which attracted more glares from the generals who were already indifferent to Jiang Gan. Some people even stood up directly, drew their swords in their hands, and claimed
They want to use this scoundrel Jiang Gan to pay tribute to their late master Sun Ce. They want to transfer this grief to Jiang Gan. Although Zhou Yu did not explain that Sun Ce’s assassination was caused by Cao Zhi, everyone present felt like a mirror. Sun Ce
If he died of illness or accident, it would be fine, but if he was assassinated, the biggest suspect in the world and the beneficiary at this moment must be Cao Zhi.
Jiang Gan behaved calmly enough and never said a word to the people who shouted that they wanted to operate on him. It wasn't until Zhou Yu stopped all actions and sounds that Jiang Gan respectfully placed the Sun Ce spiritual tablet he was holding on Zhou Yu's side.
After being appointed as the chairman, and after bowing three times in a serious manner, he turned to face the people in the room and loudly said with righteous words: "You and I are all citizens of the same state, and Brother Bofu and I are classmates and old friends.
, I’m here to visit Diao Bo Fu today. I’m not just a friend, but I’m mainly here for you!”
The generals in the tent, including Zhou Yu, whose excitement had reached its peak, were stunned by Jiang Gan's unabashed words.
What does this Jiang Gan want to do? He has no intention of being secretive at all, but wants to go straight to the point and persuade them to surrender? In Zhou Yu’s impression, Jiang Gan is not such a courageous person. In the midst of Zhou Yu and others’ astonishment, Jiang Gan
The voice comes back:
"Everyone, Sun Ce, is dead. You are now in a precarious situation. Think about how long you can hold on to this artificial separation... One day? Two days? One month? Two months..."
