Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 317 Straw Boat Borrowing Arrows.

"Captain, how about going to the river with Liang to watch the foggy scene?" Zhuge Liang sent an invitation to Zhou Yu.

"Ha ha!"

"Okay, okay, this fog scene is indeed worth seeing." Zhou Yu laughed loudly.

Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu boarded the first boat arm in arm, and Gan Ning also boarded the first boat.These two are the backbone of Soochow, and Gan Ning has to protect them personally.

Gan Ning thought to himself, these two are really interesting, I have heard of those who watch flowers and mountains.It’s the first time I’ve heard about this view of the fog scene. When there is a heavy fog on the river, there is a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere, and you can’t see your fingers when you stretch out your hands. What’s so good about such a fog scene.

"Crash! Crash!"

There was a sound of oars paddling, and the thirty brocade sailing boats rowed quickly towards the middle of the river.

"Captain, you can't go any further. If you go forward, you will be within the range of the Qin army."

The boat kept rowing, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang didn't call to stop, and the boatman didn't dare to stop.Gan Ning couldn't bear it any longer, so he leaned up to Zhou Yu and said.

Gan Ning thought to himself, we can't go any further, if we go any further, we will be giving away heads.

"It's okay, just keep going." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

Seeing Gan Ning's hesitation, Zhou Yu hurriedly ordered, "Listen to Mr. Zhuge."

Zhou Yu issued an order, Gan Ning dared not disobey the order, so he could only bite the bullet and order his boatmen to continue rowing forward.

Now it happens to be the fifth watch, and this time is the most sleepy time for people.

However, due to the heavy fog tonight, Qin Jun's defense was very cautious, for fear that some Soochow troops would come to sneak attack.

"Crash! Crash!"

There was a sound of oars poking the water, and the soldiers in charge of the guard rushed to report to the governor Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong and Zhou Yu are both governors, but one is the governor of the Qin army, and the other is the governor of the Wu army.

Zheng Chenggong and Qi Jiguang got the report and hurried to the deck.Not long after, Cheng Yaojin who was in charge of guarding Li Chen also came.

"Is there an enemy attack?" Cheng Yaojin asked.

Zheng Chenggong nodded, and said: "It should be a test. There are only thirty fast boats, and they may not be able to take the military test. There is no need to alarm His Highness King Qin."

Li Chen had just come to the surface of the water, and he was not used to living on the boat, so he felt a little insomnia, and he just fell asleep not long ago.

Zheng Chenggong is also an old water fighter. His trick of distinguishing ships by listening to the sound is really good. He can tell what kind of ships and how many there are based on the sound of the oars undulating the water surface.

At this moment, Zheng Chenggong frowned suddenly.At this time, the river was locked in thick fog, and the surrounding area was in a daze.Basically, he couldn't see anything clearly in his field of vision, but with his ears, Zheng Chenggong still heard the enemy ships approaching.

This was a bit beyond Zheng Chenggong's expectation. If the [-] fast boats were said to be stealing camps, these troops would be giving away their heads.But if it wasn't for stealing the camp, what were they doing all the time?
"Warning, the enemy is still approaching." Zheng Chenggong's order was conveyed, and the soldiers cheered up.

"Doctor Zheng, let's bombard his mother." Cheng Yaojin said to Zheng Chenggong expectantly.

Cheng Yaojin knew the power of these cannons, but they were usually fake targets, and it was finally a real battle. Cheng Yaojin couldn't wait to hit two cannons in front of everyone.

Hearing this, Zheng Chenggong frowned and said, "No, you can't fire artillery. I have studied Soochow's tactics, and Soochow's water warfare basically uses dense wolf pack tactics. If the artillery is exposed now, I'm afraid it will be a decisive battle." At that time, Soochow will change its tactics."

Why Zheng Chenggong has been waiting instead of taking the initiative to attack.It is precisely because he has studied the battles of the Soochow Navy over the years.He discovered that the Soochow navy relied entirely on the large number of boats to swarm up, but this kind of warfare was a live target for artillery, and they could hit it with their eyes closed.

It is precisely because of this that Zheng Chenggong is waiting for a decisive battle. He wants to annihilate the Soochow navy in one battle.Now that you have exposed the artillery, when it comes to the decisive battle, the Soochow navy will change its tactics.

"Dudu Zheng, the fog is too thick, I'm afraid I'll fall into the trap if we rush into battle, why don't we shoot them back with arrows?" Qi Jiguang said to Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong nodded, thinking, now is not the time to expose the artillery, it is better to shoot with arrows.

"Fire the arrows." Zheng Chenggong gave an order.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Zheng Chenggong gave an order, and Qin Jun fired a thousand arrows, one round after another.It took a full shot of a stick of incense, and at least one hundred thousand arrows had to be shot.

The sound of shooting arrows was everywhere outside, waking Li Chen up from his dream.Li Chen came to the deck in the middle of the cabin, and after figuring out the situation, he thought to himself, this plot is a bit familiar.

"The straw boat borrowed arrows?"

"Zhuge Liang is on the opposite side?" Li Chen was startled suddenly. Zhuge Liang's character is not good.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

"Stop shooting." Li Chen quickly stopped the soldiers who continued to shoot.

"How many arrows have you shot?" Li Chen asked sullenly.

When Li Chen asked, Zheng Chenggong estimated and replied: "There must be about 15."

"Damn it, it's been tricked. This is an arrow borrowed from a straw boat. The scarecrow they planted on the boat is an arrow to lie to us." Li Chen explained to everyone.

"What?" Zheng Chenggong was shocked.

Zheng Chenggong thought, I hunt geese all day long, but today I was blinded by geese.In fact, Zheng Chenggong can't be blamed for this, after all, even Cao Cao was caught in the trick.If Li Chen was not familiar with the plot, he would have fallen for it.

"Let me just say, these 15 arrows shot past, not to mention the rattan players, even the iron players, they will also shoot through them."

"If you don't retreat until now, there must be a problem." Qi Jiguang said from the side.

"King Qin, let's bombard his mother with cannons." Cheng Yaojin continued to shout from the side.

"No, no cannon."

"Use rockets, aren't they scarecrows? Let's use rockets to burn his mother." Zheng Chenggong said viciously.

On the opposite side, Zhuge Liang's thirty boats were already dangling away.Why is it wobbly, because the side facing the Qin army is already full of arrows, there are a total of [-] arrows, and now the ship is a bit sunk.

Why did the Qin army shoot 15 arrows, but Zhuge Liang's [-] ships only had about [-] arrows?This is not to say that there are some middlemen who make the difference. This is because the fog on the river is so thick that the Qin army can't aim. They all shoot indiscriminately in a hurry, and many arrows are shot in the river.

"Mr. Kong Ming, let's go?" Zhou Yu said cheerfully to Zhuge Liang. After all this hard work, he has harvested a total of [-] arrows.

"Go, do you want to go first?"

"Let's turn the boat around and let Qin Jun shoot us the other side." Zhuge Liang had a strategizing smile on his face.
