The iron chain was very thick and strong, and it withstood repeated impacts from the building and the boat. However, the wooden piles used to fix the iron chain on the shore could no longer hold up. They were pulled out bit by bit and slid into the water. It was heavy.
The iron chain quickly entered the water, and the pontoon bridge connecting Xiangyang and Fancheng was completely broken.
The soldiers of the Shu army burst into earth-shattering cheers, and warships of all sizes crossed the pontoon and pounced on the two large ships that were still fighting with the Wu army.
Zhang Wei pushed away the armor and risked being shot by the Wei army, shouting loudly: "Wenju, Zhongjian, rush over and sink those Wu dogs!"
"Sink them!" Feng Jin also blushed and pointed at the Wu Jun boats that still refused to retreat: "Crash them and sink them!"
"Sink them!" Feng family members shouted in unison, and the big boat opened the water and rushed towards the Wu army boats.
On the other side, Fu Xing was not to be outdone and commanded the building ships to attack the Wu army.
The Wu army paid a heavy price and effectively dispersed the Wei army's forces. Seeing the Shuhan army cut off the Wei army's pontoon bridge, before they had time to be happy, the warships of the Shuhan navy rushed towards them. It was a burst of arrows.
Wu Jun was shocked
On guard, they were hit by arrows one after another. Immediately afterwards, their warships were knocked over by building ships, and they fell into the water one after another. What made them even more horrified was that the Shu army did not listen to their calls for help. Not only did they not save them, they were also in pain.
Kill them and attack them indiscriminately.
Wu Jun was so angry that he cursed loudly, but these insults not only failed to wake up the soldiers of the Shu Han navy, but aroused their murderous intent. The Shu navy led by Feng Jin and three others rushed left and right, running rampant and will soon have no time.
The Wu army who escaped were massacred. If there were not two obstacles blocking Feng Jin and others, maybe they would have pursued Wu Jun's main formation.
Seeing the Shuhan navy roaring in a show of force and firing one or two arrows from time to time. It fired one or two stone bullets to pursue the Shuhan navy. The Wu army officers almost burst their lungs and paid nearly a thousand casualties. It was all in vain.
That's all, but he was beaten up by friendly forces. What does this mean?
Zhu Ran was furious and immediately sent Zhu Ji to ask Wu Yi for an explanation.
The battlefield gradually became silent. Although Xiangyang and Fancheng on both sides of the Han River could still use crossbows and thunder chariots to attack the Shuhan navy on the water, the floating bridge had been destroyed. The connection between Xiangyang and Fancheng had been cut off.
The attack had no practical significance, so the Wei army stopped the attack in unison, saved some arrows and stone bullets, and prepared for a more difficult battle.
The Shu Han Navy cruised between Xiangyang and Fancheng. They cleaned the battlefield overnight, picked up the corpses and sunken ships, and cleaned up the rivers. The last four large ships of the Wei Navy were unceremoniously collected by Wei Ba and towed back.
Camp.
Ma Jun sat on the horse, his face pale. The battle was over, but he still couldn't see Wei Ba's secret. He still didn't know why the Shuhan navy's warships were so fast. All the secrets were hidden in
Under those wooden boards, no trace was exposed.
Jin Dongliu retreated without hesitation. He wanted to escort Ma Jun back. Ma Jun is currently the only master craftsman in Cao Wei who can compete with Wei Ba. His role alone is worth tens of thousands of elites. Jin Dongliu cannot let him
He died on the battlefield.
At this moment, Xiahou Ba was trapped on the south bank of the Han River. He retreated into Xiangyang City. Looking at the Han River that had been controlled by the Shu army, he was very frustrated. He thought that the Shu army could not break through the two underwater obstacles.
The pontoon bridge may be fine, but the worst outcome can be delayed for several days. Unexpectedly, Wei Ba only needed two days to forcefully break through the formation, cut off the pontoon bridge, and turn Xiangyang into an isolated city.
The battlefield became quiet, but the conflict between Wu and Shu began to escalate. Faced with Zhu Ji's questioning, Wu Yi refused and denied it. He said to Zhu Ji, you must have seen it wrong, or it was dark.
, we didn’t see clearly that on the battlefield, your clothes were similar to those of the Wei army. Who could pay so much attention between life and death? Maybe you attacked first and we were forced to counterattack.
Zhu Ji was so angry that he went into a rage. The reason why he did not ask Wei Ba to argue, but Wu Yi, was because he felt that Wu Yi was older, had a distinguished status, and came from a noble family, so he wanted to save some face. Unexpectedly, Wu Yi acted like a fool.
The scoundrel was even more outrageous than the young man. Not only did he not admit his fault, but he hit the target, implying that the Wu State was a vassal state of the Wei State and was colluding with others.
Zhu Ji was so angry that he couldn't talk about asking for spoils of war. He left angrily and said he wanted to report to Sun Quan, raising the issue to the level of breaking the covenant.
Wu Yi sneered and dismissed him. As soon as Zhu Ji left, he immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters. In front of everyone, he pointed at the noses of Feng Jin and others and cursed.
"You are heroes, right? You want revenge, right? If you want revenge, you have to kill Lu Xun and Sun Quan. What's the point of killing a few ordinary soldiers?" He pointed at the noses of Feng Jin, Fu Xing and Zhang Wei,
His saliva splashed on their faces: "I know you hate Wu people, but
If you do this, you can only do bad things and cannot really take revenge. You are just a bunch of children. Apart from spitting on each other, what else can you do? If you want to take revenge, you must learn from Ziyu. You know what a biting dog is.
If you don’t bark, won’t the barking dog bite?”
Feng Jin and others couldn't help laughing, but Wei Ba couldn't hold it anymore and interrupted Wu Yi: "General, are you scolding me? This matter has nothing to do with me."
"Shut up!" Wu Yi was not in the mood to joke. He interrupted Wei Ba rudely and slapped Feng Jin and others on the face several times: "Boy, do you understand what I am saying? I understand, that's it.
Nod, go out and do things. If you don’t understand, pack your backpack immediately and go back to Chengdu. My subordinates don’t want reckless people like you.”
After Feng Jin and others heard this, they knew that Wu Yi had taken it upon himself, and they all obeyed the orders honestly, then hung their heads and made a confession before going out.
Wu Yi immediately announced a two-day rest, then waved his hand and drove out all the generals, leaving only Meng Da and Wei Ba. As soon as everyone left, he immediately changed his smile and said happily: "These few days
This boy is really discerning. If he didn't make such a fuss, I would really be embarrassed to ignore Zhu Ran's tatters. Now it's better, they can't even catch a piece of wood." He turned to Wei Ba and said: "Those four ships
Is this the case?"
"There is no big loss. It can be used now. If you want to modify it, you have to drag it back to Zhuyang."
Wu Yi stroked his beard and pondered for a moment: "Without further delay, let Fu Xing go back to Zhuyang. This guy is shrewd enough and will not make any mistakes. Ziyu, since we have fallen out with the Wu people, we must guard against their evil intentions.
, we can’t take it lightly.”
Wei Ba nodded. He didn't expect Feng Jin and others to be so impulsive. They actually hunted rabbits and beat Wu Jun. However, when he supported them in taking the risk of fighting, he was just taking advantage of their hatred for the Wu people. Today's situation is not the same.
It's inevitable.
"The Wu people's matter can be postponed until later." Meng Da said disapprovingly: "Based on the current strength of both sides, they can't do anything to us. The pontoon bridge is broken, and Xiangyang cannot support Fancheng. Should we
Attacked Fancheng?"
"Zidu, don't be anxious. Fancheng must be attacked, but our ultimate goal is not Fancheng." Wu Yi pondered for a while: "Ziyu, do you have any good ideas?"
Wei Ba smiled: "The general is right, our ultimate goal is not Fancheng." He paused and changed the topic: "However, Fancheng may still have to be attacked. Otherwise, it will be difficult to achieve our ultimate goal."
Wu Yi was surprised.
"General. Lu Xun has always doubted our sincerity, and now that this conflict has arisen, how can he not be suspicious? If he refuses to attack Xiangyang, how can we attract Sima Yi here? How can we let them fight?
?If Sima Yi doesn't come, how will we have the chance to capture Nanxiang? Attacking Fancheng may be the only way to gain Lu Xun's trust."
Wu Yi's eyes flickered and he was silent. Meng Da laughed enigmatically: "Ziyu, what do we do? Many of the defeated soldiers of the Wei army fled into Fancheng. Fancheng's strength is now at least 5,000.
, it is not easy for us to attack with only 20,000 people. Furthermore, when Sima Yi hears the news that the pontoon bridge has been cut off, he will definitely launch a fierce attack and may reach Fancheng at any time."
Wei Ba didn't have any good options. With limited military strength, he couldn't let Fan City fall with just a breath. But he wasn't nervous. After all, as Wu Yi said, attacking Fan City was not the purpose in itself. The purpose was to attract Sima Yi to Fan City.
.The best way to attract Sima Yi is actually not to attack Fancheng, but to encourage Lu Xun to attack Xiangyang.
"Sima Yi's actions are very strange. I'm not sure what his next move will be." Wei Ba said, "I want to meet Xia Houxuan first."
"Xia Houxuan?" Wu Yi and Meng Da asked at the same time.
"Well, I think we might be able to understand some of Cao Wei's internal disagreements from his mouth." Wei Ba smiled and said, "For example, the relationship between Sima Yi and Cao Rui."
Wu Yi understood, but he still felt uneasy. He reminded Wei Ba with his eyes, and Wei Ba nodded knowingly: "Please don't worry, general, I will control the wind properly."
Wu Yi said nothing more, but Meng Da was noncommittal, as if he had not heard what Wei Ba said at all. Wei Ba was not worried about him either. Meng Da had a criminal record and he had no credibility in front of Zhuge Liang, except probably
No one except Li Yan believed him.
Wei Ba came to Zhang Shao and expressed his intention to meet Xia Houxuan. He hoped that Zhang Shao could accompany him and be a witness. Zhang Shao was a little embarrassed after hearing this. Xia Houxuan and Xia Houhui were still different.
He was a domineering woman, but Xia Houxuan was the real enemy. It was taboo to meet with the enemy in private. Zhuge Liang valued this very much. When his brother Zhuge Jin came to Shu, they never met in private.
"Follow the priority and obey the authority in emergencies." Wei Ba said with a smile: "Whether we can win this battle is the most important thing, everything else is just minutiae. If you really have doubts, I won't force you. If the Prime Minister
I will bear the blame alone."
Zhang Shao blushed: "Ziyu, what are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who is afraid of getting into trouble? I just..."
Looking at the murmuring Zhang Shao, Wei Ba sighed secretly. Is this Zhang Fei's son? He felt guilty when he mentioned Zhuge Liang. He didn't know whether he was too weak or the prime minister was too strong. He patted Zhang Shao on the shoulder:
"Okay, I'll see him myself."
Zhang Shao blushed so much that he almost turned purple. He gritted his teeth and thought for a moment: "No, if I don't even dare to shoulder this responsibility, I'm afraid my mother will be very disappointed with me. Ziyu, I will accompany you. If the Prime Minister has any blame, I will
It’s just a matter of carrying it, at worst, go and beg my sister.”
