Sun Shangxiang did not ask herself to spare Sun Quan's life, but asked him to spare his nephew Sun Shao's life, which made Yan Liang feel a little surprised.
"Why is it Sun Shao, not Sun Quan?" Yan Liang asked bluntly, without shyness.
"The second brother is like a beast, and he actually wants to bully his sister-in-law. Even if it is destroyed, he deserves his sins. Shaoer is pitiful and lost his father since childhood. I just want to save his life and leave a little blood for the Sun family. Please ask
Husband can be kind."
Sun Shangxiang begged pitifully to Yan Liang.
Once upon a time, she was quite confident in the strength of the Sun family, but after marrying Yan Liang, she found that her husband's demeanor and strength were far superior to Sun Quan, and Jiangdong's defeat was inevitable.
And that reminder from Yan Liang also allowed Sun Shangxiang to see the face of her second brother clearly. At this time, she no longer wanted to plead for such a shameless brother.
Sun Shangxiang's change in thought made Yan Liang feel much more relieved, but he did not agree at once.
"I still say the same thing: Those who follow suit will live, those who are against love will die. Whoever can survive in the Sun family depends on themselves."
After saying that, Yan Liang no longer became obsessed with his children. He wore armor and turned around and strided out.
Ma Yunlu comforted Sun Shangxiang with his eyes and hurriedly followed him out.
Sun Shangxiang was right by the door, watching Yan Liang leave. After a long time, she sighed softly.
Yan Liang, who left the palace, personally led the three thousand tiger guards' personal army. Following Ma Yunlu, Zhou Cang and other confidant generals, he was half a day later than Gan Ning's troops. He also went from Chaisang toward the downstream Hukou.
.
...
It is noon on the sun, and the river surface of Hukou Fortress.
The shouts of killing were shaking the sky, and arrows were raining like shuttles, forming a gorgeous net of light in the sky.
On the surface of the river, more than 700 large and small warships of Wu army spread across the river and were launching an unprecedented fierce attack towards the Yan army in Hukou.
Zhou Yu stood proudly on the flagship ship with his sword, his cold eyes shot directly at the enemy camp.
At the front, the 10,000 vanguards led by Huang Gai were attacking the enemy's water camp with conventional tactics.
However, the progress of the war was not as smooth as Zhou Yu imagined.
According to Zhou Yu's vision, his army came suddenly, and the relaxed defense of Yan's army would be caught off guard. He would successfully attack the Hukou Fortress within an hour.
Then, he could divide some of his troops and go south to Poyang Lake, and use the navy to control Wei Yan's seven thousand troops to cut off Poyang County east of Poyang Lake.
At the same time, he would personally lead the army and take advantage of the victory to directly defeat Chaisang.
With his superiority in military strength, his army would defeat Chaisang in one fell swoop before the enemy Xiakou fleet arrived.
At that time, Chaisang had already left, and even if Yan Liang had the advantage of a car and a ship, he would have no use.
If you are lucky, you may be able to kill Yan Liang, who is in Chaisang, and do your best.
However, the fact is that Lu Meng and Ling Tong in Hukou Camp, the two Jiangdong rebel generals, seemed to have expected that they would lead their troops to fight, and their preparations for the fight were extremely sufficient.
After half a day of fierce attack, none of the Wu army's warships could attack the enemy camp.
The fully prepared Yan Jun stole the several rounds of attacks by the Wu army with his crossbow chariots, Yuanrong crossbows, and various powerful bows and hard crossbows.
Among the arrows in the sky, one after another, Wu Jun soldiers fell to the ground. The water surface on the nearshore line was covered with a layer of blood-stained red.
Zhou Yu's brows began to frown secretly. He vaguely felt that Yan Liang seemed to have expected that he might launch a surprise attack on Hukou. Otherwise, how could the defenders' resistance be so calm and tenacious?
Despite this, Zhou Yu's frowning frown quickly loosened, replaced by a hint of disdain.
"Yan Liang Dog Thief, do you think you are prepared, so I, Zhou Yu, can't do anything to you? Let's wait and see."
A cold feeling flashed across Zhou Yu's mouth, and he immediately raised his whip and shouted: "Send the order, Huang Gai team retreat, Zhou Tai's thunderbolt ship will be topped."
On the flagship, the flag was shaken and Zhou Yu's latest order was passed down.
When Huang Gai, the former army saw the flag verb, quickly retreated his ordinary attack fleet. In the army, hundreds of modified giant fighting ships slowly sailed forward and filled the position of Huang Gai's team.
The cabin area of the hundred modified bucket ships has been reduced by half, and the exposed decks have been increased a lot. Each deck has one to three trenchers of varying numbers.
Each bucket ship is equipped with at least seven catapults, and more than one hundred bucket ships are equipped with nearly seven or eight hundred catapults.
Previously, the Wu army was unable to conquer the water camp that Yan's army defended with several times of its strength, which led to the loss of fighter opportunities and was defeated by Yan Liang to win.
Therefore, after Zhou Yu took power, he was thinking about how to break Yan's army's persistence, so Zhou Yu came up with a way to move the catapult to the warship.
In fact, there is no precedent for the catapult to board the ship. It is just because the catapult is large, and the original battleship can only accommodate one or two at most on the deck. In addition, the river water ship is shaking, and the catapult cannot shoot stably, so it is already relatively low.
The hit rate dropped sharply.
It is therefore that the trenchers have not been used in water wars on a large scale.
Zhou Yu used his wisdom to order more than 100 fighting ships to modify them, so that as many catapults can be installed as much as possible, and also fixed the catapults to the deck to prevent them from moving in a misaligned manner.
In this way, a brand new catapult was modified. Because the catapult was most famous for the Pili chariot invented by Cao Cao, Zhou Yu named this modified ship the Pili craft.
More than 100 Thunderbolt ships slowly approached the range, and 700 catapults loaded and began to aim at Hukou Shui Camp.
In the water camp, Lu Mengyuan looked at the new type of warships like Wu Jun. When he saw the densely packed catapults, an unknown premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
"I have never seen such a warship among the Wu army. Could it be that Zhou Yu is prepared to come?"
Just as Lu Meng was suspicious, the sound of attacking drums sounded above the river.
Amid the rumbling drums, seven hundred catapults exerted force at the same time, countless stone bombs rose by, and whistled towards the water camp with the sound of "whimpering" breaking through the air.
The stone rain hit and the sound was shocking.
Before the stone bombs in the sky had fallen, the terrifying momentum had already shocked the Yan army soldiers in the camp.
"Secret, hide quickly-"
Lu Meng shouted, and jumped off his mount without thinking too much.
In an instant, stone bombs hit like a meteor shower.
Boom boom boom boom-
Countless stone bombs hit, the wooden trestle was broken, the warships moored in the waterway were broken, and the masts were broken, and several arrow towers were broken, which collapsed with a bang.
In just a blink of an eye, a line along the water was smashed into pieces.
Screams came one after another, and the soldiers who had no time to dodge were either hit by stone bullets and killed on the spot, or their limbs were broken and they fell to the ground half-dead and howled.
Lu Meng dismounted in time and moved his body agilely and avoided the stone bullet, but his mount was not so lucky. The poor war horse was broken by a whizzing stone bullet.
The blood even splattered half of Lu Meng's body.
After the first round of stone rain, although the soldiers did not suffer much losses, they suffered a heavy mental blow.
These soldiers who are good at water warfare never expected that the enemy warships could even launch stone bombs that were densely packed with infantry siege ships.
Before the shock was timely, the reloading on the Wu ship had been completed. Accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, the second round of stone rain hit again.
Lu Meng had no choice but to dodge the stone bullets while inspiring the soldiers not to be afraid, and ordered them to continue to stick to their posts and not take a step back.
The stone rain fell, blood splattered, howling sounded everywhere.
When defending the city by land battles, there are still strong city walls to block it, and in this water camp, the only thing that can be used as a barrier is a wooden fence. How can a mere wooden fence block block the terrifying attack power of the stone bomb?
People are constantly lying in pools of blood, and warships are constantly being damaged, and the situation is developing in an increasingly unfavorable aspect.
However, none of the 20,000 Yan soldiers retreated.
Although they were frightened and uneasy, their iron military discipline and will drove them to overcome fear and persist bravely.
After more than a dozen waves of stone rain attacks, the water camp was in a mess.
Ling Tong of the left camp took advantage of the enemy's reload and rushed to the right camp to meet Lu Meng.
"Zi Ming, the enemy's catapults are too dense, so it's not a solution to hold on like this. I think it's better to let me lead the navy to attack and fight Zhou Yu!"
Ling Tong could not stand being oppressed by the enemy so much, and he was angry and wanted to go to fight.
Lu Meng said in a deep voice: "You and I have both been Zhou Yu's subordinates. Do you still don't know his ability to fight? He wants to force us to fight. As long as my navy comes out, he will definitely lose."
"What else else should I do? Will I be beaten passively like this?" Ling Tong said indignantly.
"The lord's order is to let us stand here and drag Zhou Yu's army tightly. Then we have to stay here. Even if we guard the last one, we must not fight."
Lu Meng made a decision as the leader.
Although Ling Tong was angry, how could he dare to violate the military order? He could only turn over and run towards his defense zone invasion of stone rain.
The stone rain is long and endless.
Before we knew it, it was almost dusk.
The Wu army's stone bomb attack gradually weakened because they had almost consumed all the stones.
Zhou Yu on the flagship, looking at the broken enemy camp in the distance, sneered: "Lu Meng's Ling Tong, these two rebels, are very tolerant, and they are unwilling to fight like this. Humph, if you don't come out, I will attack you.
, Let's see how you can keep it."
The arrow tower in the water village has basically been destroyed, and Yan's soldiers were also seriously injured. At this time, Zhou Yu was confident that his 30,000 troops would attack the enemy's shore in one fell swoop.
Just as Zhou Yu was about to give the order, he suddenly heard the long and long horn sound coming from the side and backward direction.
My heart was shocked, and Zhou Yu turned around and looked northwest.
But in his sight, at the end of the sky water, a fleet was galloping towards this side like a flying dragon coming out of the water.
Gan Ning's fleet of vehicles and ships finally arrived at the last moment.
Zhou Yu's expression that was originally determined to win was instantly changed. (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, and it is updated faster!)
