The cold wind blew on the face, and the river was surging. The surging river water slapped on the river bank, causing thousands of splashes.
However, this cold weather cannot suppress the soldiers' passion; the surging river water cannot cover the soldiers' passion.
The shouts were overwhelming and the rumbling drums were deafening. At this time, Zhou Yu was getting a naval army and was dying about to attack the defense line of Cao Cao's water camp.
In theory, Cao Cao's main force has been trapped on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Cao Cao's Jiangbei Camp was just left with 50,000 troops. In the face of Zhou Yu's careful local advantages, Cao Cao's Jiangbei Camp should
It is vulnerable. There will not be so many soldiers fighting here.
However, Cao Cao did not take him away because of the inconvenience of moving the thunder cart, but at this time he played an unimaginable huge role. Along the coast of Chibi, on the rows of barriers and high platforms, Thunder carts kept roaring. One by one, one cantilevered,
It was one after another. It pushed the rocks and hit them over the sky and the earth. How could it be that power?
Although the shooting accuracy of Cao Cao's thunder chariot is not enough, it is far from the accuracy of the Youzhou stone chariot. However, the number of them is enough. Looking up, the stones flying in the sky are like locusts plagues.
Even Zhou Yu couldn't help but murmur: If this continues, in one or two months, will the Yangtze River be blocked and filled up?
Therefore, after Zhou Yu suffered another loss, he did not dare to send large-scale ships to advance one after another. He could only send a small fleet to attract tease.
But that Xi Zhicai is definitely not a good person. Facing Zhou Yu's small ship, he did not use a thunderbolt chariot at all, just waiting for the ship to get close, and shot with a box crossbow. This kind of close-range, dense launch of a box crossbow,
It's not something that the soldiers in the small boat can resist.
Those flat-bottomed boats didn't even have a baffle, and twenty or thirty people were squeezed on them, all depended on the few people in the lead to cover them with shields. How useful can it be under such a dense attack of crossbows?
When Zhou Yu sent a boat to meet him, another rock came. Although Zhou Yu had a thousand tricks, he was also a dog biting a hedgehog and had nowhere to slap.
The battle situation became stalemate for a while. Zhou Yu and others were extremely worried.
If you can't defeat Cao Cao's Water Village, it's not just about damaging countless ships. There are many waters and trees in the south of the Yangtze River. It's simple to build a flat-bottomed boat. How much damage will be added. As for the naval soldiers, as long as they are not hit by rocks.
After the ship was broken, you could all travel back to the rear of the fleet in the middle of the river. If it were just these, Zhou Yu and others would be happy to consume the stone reserves of Cao Jun Water Village. After all, with such intensive launches, there was no supply of a stone mountain.
It's impossible to last.
However, if you can't take Cao Cao's Water Village in a short time, there will be too many variables. Not to mention anything else, but Cao Cao who is just trapped on the south bank of the Yangtze River will definitely be a disaster.
Who was Cao Cao? He captured Xuzhou and his back road was occupied by Liu Bei. When Cao Cao had no food, he even used human flesh as military rations to slaughter Xuzhou. Now that he trapped Cao Cao in Jiangnan, he would not be like a kitten or a puppy
It's like being trapped in a cage. It's definitely a tiger and an angry lion!
Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang all knew that the competition was that Cao Cao could not erupt with the crisscrossing waterways in the south of the Yangtze River and the clearing of the fields, which caused the huge army to collapse without subsequent supply. And this stockpiling
With most of Cao Cao's military supplies, the hope of Cao Cao's army is. Without this foundation of Jiangbei Camp, even if the main force of Cao Cao's army breaks through the shackles of Jiangnan and returns to Jiangbei, there is still only one defeated disciple.
The supply of millions of troops does not mean that they gather easily when they gather.
Therefore, Zhou Yu and others were extremely anxious and could only attack and fight hard. There was no time to adopt any strategy.
At this time, Cao Cao had definitely not let down the trust of Zhou Yu and others. When he learned that he had a trap and his backbone was cut off, he completely broke out.
No consideration is given to all the strength damage, preservation of strength, etc., and no longer considering everything. Without supplementary supplies, just relying on the military rations brought by the army, Cao Cao's army could stay for ten days. After ten days, the entire army may be completely lost.
.Now that he is fighting against the enemy, what else can Cao Cao have to worry about?
Especially after Cao Cao received Cai Mao and Zhang Yunde's report, he concluded that Huang Gai was still a false surrender. In this way, Huang Gai's previous remarks were definitely a blind man, and Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were definitely a false split. Cao Cao also had
What to care about.
At this time, although Cao Cao's navy ships were destroyed, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun also retained tens of thousands of navy troops for Cao Cao. Moreover, Cao Cao's main army was not damaged at all. After the rage, Cao Cao immediately divided his troops into five groups and sent them to
Xiahou Dun led 100,000 troops to capture the nearby Baling, Xiahou Yuan led 100,000 troops to capture Changsha, Yu Jin led 100,000 troops to capture Fankou, Cao Hong led 100,000 troops to capture Jiujiang, and Zhang He led 100,000 troops to capture Chai.
Sang. All ordered them to go down for ten days, and if they don’t go down, they will be killed!
Afterwards, Cao Cao led the remaining troops back to the south bank of the Red Cliff, cut down trees, built ships and crossed the river.
However, shipbuilding is also a technical job. The shipbuilding craftsmen are still staying in Jiangbei Daying. It is not so easy for Cao Cao to build a ship across the river. Especially, without the suppression of the spitfire boat, even if Cao Cao has
The boat is not as good as the Zhou Yu navy. Now the Zhou Yu navy is patrolling the river day and night, besieging Cao Cao's camp in the north of the Yangtze River at all times. Cao Cao is also impatient and unable to exert his strength.
At this time, due to Xu Shu's existence and the situation in Jiangnan, all of them were presented to Liu Ming's wisdom tank with secret reports.
As early as when Cao Cao's army headed south and gathered in Chibi, some people suggested that Cao Cao's nest should take advantage of the empty troops in Yanzhou. In that way, Cao Cao would become a rootless person, and the food and grass that Cao Cao gathered with the army would definitely be
It is not enough for Cao Cao's army to fight back and forth between the two places. Cao Cao's army is just around the corner.
However, this voice was suppressed by Guo Jia, who had not yet fought, and the Sun and Cao armies rashly advanced, causing the Sun and Cao families to stop the war, which further damaged the strength of Youzhou. Although those who advised were still there
I was dissatisfied. But I also thought it was harmless to wait. After all, as long as the Sun and Cao families really fought, they would be endless. If you can save more energy, why bother to be in a hurry?
But as Cao Cao's army was trapped south of the Yangtze River, the remarks of refusing to send troops again rose. After all, Cao Cao's army was already trapped in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was impossible for him to return to support in a short period of time. If he could complete the great cause of unification one day earlier, then
It's just one day earlier.
However, Guo Jia opposed again: "Although Cao Cao was trapped in Jiangnan, the main force was not damaged. The vitality of the Sun and Cao families is still there. If there is a turning point, Cao's army will escape and see our army attack, they will not fight to the death with Sun Quan.
The army has a great hindrance. What's more, taking advantage of the opportunity to send troops at this time will only make the Sun and Cao families understand that our previous promises to them are just empty talk and deceive them. This will surely inspire the Sun and Cao families to join forces against our army.
This is not done by wise men. Now, Cao Cao's army has been trapped in Jiangnan. It can be seen that our army's previous strategy has been successful. Then Sun Quan will not let Cao Cao's main force escape easily. If he traps the beast, Sun Quan's strength will definitely be greatly damaged.
Even if things change, Cao Cao will not let Sun Quan go, and Cao Cao's strength will definitely be weakened. In this way, if two families compete for a difference, one will surely fall. We will wait and see how it will be successful and take advantage of its vitality.
At that time, you can use a thunderous attack, and you can determine the world with one attack. Isn’t that great?”
Guo Jia convinced everyone again.
However, Liu Ming was very interested in Xu Shu reporting Cao's fireboat. That guy was no different from a flamethrower. If this was used properly, it would be a headache.
Liu Ming immediately ordered Guo Jia to send people to Cao Cao to inquire about details, such as inventory, manufacturing, etc.
And just when Liu Ming was happy to see it happen, just as Guo Jia was worried, the battlefield where Chibi was stalemate really had a turning point.
Facing Cao Cao's return to the south bank of the Red Cliff, Zhou Yu's navy controlled the river, and Cao Cao's army could not retreat at all. Xi Zhicai from Cao Cao's Jiangbei camp could not send anyone to pick up Cao Cao.
But on this day, when Zhou Yu's navy was still attacking Cao Cao's Jiangbei camp, suddenly, a loud noise was heard, and a warship of Zhou Yu's navy was suddenly hit by an object. Immediately afterwards, it was
With a loud bang, another warship was destroyed.
The Jiangnan navy was in a state of disintegration, but it turned out that for some reason, there were countless drifting trees floating up the river. Those drifting trees were all big trees, down the river, with more than ten thousand strength, let alone the small boats of the Jiangnan navy
Even those big ships will be destroyed by one collision.
At this time, the Jiangnan navy no longer had the intention to besiege Cao Cao's Jiangbei water camp. They all retreated in a hurry. However, the giant tree was ruthless and rushed down the river quickly, so it could be easily avoided. Those who crashed the ship would not care.
In the number of cases, even the soldiers on the ship were crushed by huge trees again, and there were few who survived.
But behind these giant trees, dozens of river ships followed.
However, it turned out that Sima Yi, the general under Cao Cao, also came south with Cao Cao. However, Sima Yi had just joined the army and had a low position. He was valued by Cao Cao only because of his brother Sima Lang, and was assigned 5,000 troops to help guard Xiangyang.
Although Sima Yi is young, he is extremely wise. Even his brother Sima Lang is far inferior to him. Sima Yi was left in Xiangyang and learned that Zhou Yu and Sun Quan were divided. Sima Yi did not believe it at all. However, Sima Yi knew that people were rude and said nothing.
, no one would believe it if he said it. Therefore, Sima Yi was just preparing in secret.
At this time, Sima Yi learned that Cao Cao was trapped and the Jiangbei camp was besieged by Zhou Yu's navy all night. Cao Cao led his troops on the south bank and could only watch, but had no place to exert his strength. Sima Yi immediately knew that his opportunity had come.
Sima Yi immediately ordered his soldiers to cut down more than 10,000 trees and tie them with ropes. He suddenly put them down along the river. Then he rode dozens of river boats raised in Xiangyang to pick up Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he saw Sima Yi making such a great contribution. He didn't care about Sima Yi's young age. He immediately grabbed Sima Yi and smiled and said, "I have the genius Zhongda, why bother with the world injustice?"
Sima Yi didn't care about being modest and hurriedly asked Cao Cao to cross the river and return to the north shore.
Relying on the sudden blow of Zhou Yu's naval army, their vitality was severely damaged, and those ships could not be mobilized in one or two days. In addition, Cao Cao's Jiangbei Water Village did not have those elite warships, but they could cross the crowd.
There are still hundreds of small boats crossing the river. Cao Cao and other soldiers have returned smoothly.
At this time, the five armies sent by Cao Cao were also blooming in full swing. Now the troops in Jiangnan were in a decisive battle with Cao Cao. It was like Cao Cao's army, and it was gathered at a high level, either in Zhou Yu or Sun Quan. Those who were close to each other were close to each other.
There was no excessive force in the city on the main battlefield. One or two thousand people was the limit. Under the attack of Xiahou Dun and others, the defenders did not fight to the death at all.
The courage to surrender to the city.
In this way, although Zhou Yu had already adopted the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, those cities could not escape. The people in the city always had to store grain. Xiahou Dun and other five armies were all supplemented.
Fortunately, Zhou Yu didn't care about this when he planned it. The Jiangnan water network was crisscrossing, and Cao Cao had no ships, either bypassing or building bridges. Cao's army was moving faster than the Jiangnan water army. Zhou Yu was originally planning to fight guerrilla warfare, Cao Cao
The division of troops into five groups only makes Zhou Yu even more able to take action.
However, Zhou Yu could not afford any damage to Sima Yi. Not to mention that Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops returned to Jiangbei, he besieged Cao's Jiangbei Water Village and controlled the river surface, and that would not allow Zhou Yu to not take most of the ships.
When sent out, all of them were destroyed by Sima Yi. Zhou Yu's plan to deal with Cao Cao's five-way army could only be stranded for a while.
The army led by Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan was not moving forward for the time being because of Cao Ren's persistence in retreating to Shouchun. The return of Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops forced Zhuge Liang and others to have some concerns.
However, at this time, Cao Cao, in addition to dividing his troops along the way, led 100,000 troops and rushed to Ruxu, threatening Jianye of Sun Quan to encircle Wei and save Zhao. In addition, he followed Sima Yi's advice and ordered Sima Yi to lead 50,000 troops to seize Sun Quan.
As long as Xiling seizes Xiling and the ownership rights of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, it will be a change of ownership. Zhou Yu's navy will lose half of its aura.
At the same time, Cao Cao's Jiangbei Water Village and Xiangyang all made every effort to build ships, preparing to deal with Zhou Yu's naval army, so as to transport supplies to those Cao's troops who were still in the south of the Yangtze River and complete the strategic goal of moving south.
However, just when Cao Cao just turned from a disadvantage to an advantage, a sudden accident completely broke the respective deployments of Liu Ming, Cao Cao, Sun Quan and others.
