The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 276

Sima Yi threw down his brush and said with a sneer: "In this way, the governor is not as good as General Ding. That's good, give General Ding a hundred warships. After you come and destroy them, see if you can encircle and wipe out the enemy." Ding Feng said decisively: " Two hundred items." Sima Yi clapped the case, "Two hundred is two hundred, so what if the battle is defeated?" Ding Feng thought, it is so easy to attack with fire on the river, and the warships are not dead, and the wind on the river is so strong, Raise the sails, and dodge in a flash. If you can burn a few ships, you will never lose.He said: "I would like to issue a military order, and I will be executed if I am defeated."

Sima Yi thought to himself, it's okay, I will take the credit for the birth, and if I lose, I just get rid of Sun Quan's confidant general. "Okay, just follow the general's order to establish an army."

Ding Feng thought very well, and felt that relying on his flexible command, he could escape the attack of the fire boat.Because the fireships are unmanned.Propelled forward by the force of the wind.As long as it is discovered early, it can be avoided.The enemy flagship in charge must be at the center of these fireships.Scatter two hundred boats on the river to search by yourself, and you will surely make a great contribution to capturing the enemy alive.But he didn't expect that Zhuge Liang's fire boat was driven by someone.

Five hundred death squads who gave their lives for money.

Fires had started on the outskirts of the water village, and thick fog mixed with thick smoke made the line of sight even shorter.Liu Beijun's small boat rushed in from the gap in the water village, and rushed towards the battleship like a mad bull.After Sima Yi's order went down, the main fleet had already begun to retreat.Only the two hundred ships belonging to Ding Feng quickly spread to the two wings, trying to surround Liu Bei's army from the periphery.

Under the control of the helmsman, the flame-steaming boat rushed towards Ding Feng's boat accurately following the light of the torch.Bang bang bang, bumping together one after another.These boats are fitted with barbs on the front, and once attached to the hull, the barbs penetrate into the hull so that they cannot be separated again.The tung oil stored in the boat, after burning hot, jumped like fireworks and sprayed in all directions. When sparks splashed there, it immediately started to burn.

Ding Feng was dumbfounded. He saw with his own eyes that a soldier of Liu Bei's army who had already been ignited by the flames was still desperately rowing, straightening the boat, and rushing towards the flagship.Such a close-range accurate collision cannot be avoided at all. The "Boom" flagship and the boat collided, and the bow and the ship were tightly connected together like a mortise and tenon joint.Smoke billowed from the bow of the flagship ship, and flames burst into flames. Ding Feng jumped off the bow without hesitation——

It's over, two hundred warships, half of them destroyed.

Ding Feng was rescued by his subordinate 'Water Ghost' and brought back to the main fleet.Sima Yi refused to meet him, and directly ordered to be beheaded for public display.Ding Feng was lying on the deck with his whole body wet, and was pulled up and dragged to the bow in a trance.There was a flash of white light, and there was a click, the hot blood in his chest spurted to Tianyu, and Dou Da's head fell into the heart of the river.Sun Quan was very sad when he heard about it.But Sima Yi attributed this defeat to the fact that Ding Fengzhang disobeyed his command, moved ships indiscriminately, and underestimated the enemy.He also said that his authority was too small to command the outstanding general of Wu, and he hoped that Sun Quan would allow him to act cheaply by cutting first and then playing.Sun Quan adhered to the tenet of doubting people and using them, and agreed to this request.

Liu Bei's army then occupied Sanjingkou.

Sima Yi's retreat also has a drawback.Zhou Tai, Huang Gai, and Cheng Pu who were stationed in Chibi were thrown to Yuan Bing.Ling Tong has been transferred back to Chaisangkou.Liu Bei's army stationed in Sanjiangkou was tantamount to staying away from Yuan Bing in Jiangling from the front, while Chibi was still west of Jiangxia and closer to Jiangling.If Yuan Bing wants to attack Jiangxia, he has to worry about Cheng Pu taking the back road, so he must get rid of Cheng Pu first.

It was only at this moment that most of the generals of Soochow realized that Cheng Pu and others were stationed in Chibi, which was really superfluous and full of food.There is no medicine for regret in the world, it is already too late.

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Zhou Tai fought, first-class generals, how could they not know the predicament they were facing.It is impossible to return to the army, unless Liu Bei is willing to let him go.This seems like a dream come true.

Together, Cheng Pu and the two decided to divide the troops into two groups to hold Yuan Bing back.He and Huang Gai still held on to the Chibi Water Village, while Zhou Tai led his troops across the river and deployed [-] troops on the north bank of Hanyang.As a partial teacher, he prevented Yuan Bing from going down to the village in Wulin.As long as they can persist for ten or eight days, Cheng Pu believes that Sima Yi will find a way to save them.

There is no doubt that Sima Yi will find a way to make him die faster!

Yuan Jun's approach greatly exceeded Cheng Pu Huang Gai's expectations.Originally, the two of them expected that Yuan Bing would definitely go down the river and set up a water and land camp on the Wulin line in Jiangbei.Because it is facing Chibi, it is less than forty miles away from Zhou Tai's Hanyang Army, and the downstream is Jiangxia. The open terrain is suitable for stationing a large number of troops.However, Yuan Bing of Jiangling did not mobilize a single ship into the river.It gives people a feeling of sitting and watching success or failure.

On the third day, Cheng Pu felt something was wrong.Although Yuan's soldiers in Jiangling did not move, the forces of Lingling and Changsha counties in the south of the Yangtze River suddenly gathered in one place.

Liao Hua, the prefect of Lingling, went out of the Youjiang River [later renamed Gongan by Liu Bei], crossed Dongting Lake, and met Yang Qiu, the prefect of Changsha, in Baling.There are about [-] to [-] troops, and they are all infantry.I don't know what Yuan Xi is up to?In a day's time, Cheng Pu guessed the clues from Yuan Jun's further military actions.Hu Che'er, the guard of Jingling, crossed the Xiangjiang River and directly attacked Zhou Tai's garrison in Hanyang by land.Cheng Pu suddenly understood that Yuan Xi wanted to attack Chibi by land.

In fact, I have never understood why the wise Prime Minister Cao in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" attacked Soochow from the waterway?Is it because the waterway is faster?Just like what Zhang Zhao said: The only thing Soochow can rely on is the danger of the Three Rivers. Cao Cao has already captured the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River.
Judging from the map of my previous life, Dongwu is the area around Jiangsu and Zhejiang.Jingzhou is much larger than it, including most of Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Guangdong.These places border on land with Jiangsu and Zhejiang.Prime Minister Cao can use cavalry infantry to attack from land.Why give up what is easy and ask for difficulty, give up length and choose short, don't use a pommel horse, but why do you want to fight in water with experts?

There is only one explanation, that is, Prime Minister Cao is too arrogant.He chose the waterway because it was faster.

Battle of Chibi?I have an obstacle in my heart, so I don't fight.I'll fight him on land! !

Yang Qiu and Liao Hua received the order to send troops directly from Baling on the south bank to attack Chibi.Wenpin will lead [-] warships to patrol the river, cutting off the connection between Cheng Pu and Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai!A veritable turtle in a urn.

In the front there is Hu Che'er's conquest, and behind him is an endless and turbulent river. To the west is Jiangling, the headquarters of Yuan Jun, and to the east is Jiangxia Shiyang City, where Liu Bei's general Ma Cheng was stationed.

No matter how brave they are, they cannot withstand the panic and mutiny of the soldiers.Hu Che'er's Eighteenth Division crossed the Xiangjiang River, and Wenpin put the warship on the river at the same time.In order to cooperate with each other, Yang Qiu and Liao Hua left infantry and led [-] light cavalry to attack Chibi.Let Cheng Pu be unable to divide his troops to rescue Zhou Tai.Baling is two hundred miles away from Chibi, and the cavalry can reach the city in one day.

When Zhou Tai was attacked, Cheng Pu was thinking about whether he could send troops to rescue him, and whether it would be useful to rescue him?Huang Gai advocated immediately sending a fleet to meet Zhou Tai and withdraw to the south of the Yangtze River.Cheng Puxin said, in that case, Yuan Bing would divide them into three parts to fight.There is a serious shortage of troops, and there is absolutely no way out.

Huang Gai said: "Give me a hundred warships and ten thousand soldiers, and I will wipe out Yuan Xi's water army. I'm sorry they don't understand water warfare." Cheng Pu stood still in the hall, finally made up his mind, and held Huang Gai's hand Said: "Gongfu, regardless of success or failure, we must come back before sunset, otherwise, we will all die without a place to bury us."

Huang Gai got excited: "Since following General Sun Bofu, there have been more than [-] battles, big and small. Who have we been afraid of? Yuan Xi is a brat. Forgive him for his lack of skills. He will come when I go." After leaving the commander's tent, the soldiers boarded the boat and rushed to Hanyang on the north bank. The battleship sailed halfway from the south bank, and Huang Gai stood in the bow of the ship, stunned.Cold from the heart to the soles of the feet.My heart said, it's over, my life is over.

What appeared in front of Huang Gai was an aircraft carrier, a gigantic ship eight feet high and fifty feet long.Huang Gai had heard of this weapon of mass destruction.Probably Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and General Fubo Ma Yuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty [the ancestor of Ma Chao] once built this kind of giant ship.In the past few hundred years, it has almost disappeared.I didn't expect Yuan Xi to be so willing to spend money.

The warship was getting closer and closer, and Huang Gai couldn't help being discouraged. He felt that his warship was like a beetle lying at the feet of an elephant.The microwave at the foot of the giant ship is like a huge wave in front of his battleship.Even if you take the highest ladder, you can never imagine being able to climb the side of other people's ships.The building boat looks bulky, but its actual speed is faster than horses, several times that of his battleship.Among Wenpin's [-] warships, [-] are "aircraft carriers". The medium-sized warships are divided into five teams and mixed among the [-] warships.Those in charge were Cai Mao's brothers, Cai Zhong, Cai He, Cai Pun, and Yamen general Bao Long and Chen Ying.Wenpin is on one of the flagships, taking over the overall situation.Although the Cai brothers were stern, they were definitely good at water warfare. When they saw the yellow-gai warship approaching, they immediately used semaphore commands to change formation.He rushed towards Huang Gai.Huang Gai raised his head desperately to be able to see the mast of the building boat. If the building boat was allowed to approach, wouldn't it be that the soldiers would shoot arrows vertically.That's a fart.Huang Gai ordered to turn around and go back, and the archers gathered at the stern to shoot arrows.

The speed of the boat is too fast.How can the power of three hundred paddles be underestimated.The distance between the two fleets has shortened sharply, and the Soochow fleet has entered the range of the condescending crossbow and launcher.Wen Pin waved the flag in his hand, Cai He and Cai Zhong's building boats led the warships behind them, and surrounded them on both wings, like a trumpet that suddenly opened, and the water surface drew a wide arc.

"Launch, concentrate firepower, and destroy the enemy ships." The red flag in Wenpin's hand fell down like a steel knife in the hands of an executioner.

As if a Tyrannosaurus Rex was chasing a lamb, the Tyrannosaurus Rex's ten-meter-long feet stepped on the lamb all at once—a series of strange arcs cut through the void, and one after another heard "clang bang bang bang bang bang bang" There was a loud bang. The last Soochow warship fell apart immediately, riddled with holes, and sank to the bottom of the water. Sawdust scattered on the surface of the water, and fireworks soared into the sky. The terrible friction sound of the hull breaking could burst eardrums. "Aircraft carrier" Without stopping for a moment, it sailed through the middle of the enemy ship, like a hurricane passing through the desert, smoothing everything out. The wreckage of the battleship disappeared without a trace, as if it had been swallowed by the invisible big mouth of the giant ship. Huang Gai and the soldiers of Soochow were scared out of their wits Flying outside, he shot arrows desperately and fled to the shore. But the poor arrows couldn't reach the ship's side at all, because the distance was too close. Not to mention, the archers standing on the fourth floor.

Wenpin then gave an order: "Shoot the arrows—" Another boat made a loud cracking noise, and was smashed from the break by the stone and sank to the bottom of the water.

At this time, Cai and Cai Zhong's fleet had completed the outflank, and surrounded Huang Gai's fleet like an iron barrel in the center——

The Wenpin red flag was waved five times, which was a signal for all the warships to go all out.Immediately, all the crossbows on the fifty giant ships ignited their rockets.The stones on the stone machine were also wrapped with linoleum, poured with a thick layer of kerosene and thrown out.Even the arrows shot by the three thousand crossbowmen hidden in each building burst into blue flames.

With Wenpin's order, tens of thousands of crossbows were fired immediately, and the sparks that covered the sky and the river shot at a hundred Soochow warships.The area around Chibi and Wulin is a sharp bend of the Yangtze River. The terrain has a steep slope, the water surface is wide, and the waves are high and vortex. It is difficult for a medium-sized warship to turn here.In addition, Wu Jun was afraid and could not dodge at all. Immediately, half of the ships were bombarded and caught fire.Twenty of them sank immediately.

Wenpin laughed and said, "Come on, beat the drum, charge—"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The dense sound of war drums heralded the coming of the final killing.The medium-sized warships lined up behind the giant ship swiftly ran through the lanes of the giant ship and the giant ship like squirrels passing through the dense forest.Yuan Bing on the boat drew out their knives and guns one after another, shouting to beat the dog in the water.

Those who fell into the water of the Eastern Wu army were shot to death, and the rest were all burned to death, fleeing with their heads in their arms, fighting each other, and it was out of control. Those crying for their parents gathered on several complete ships.Surrounded by the murdered Yuan Bingshuijun, these people fell into deep despair.Some people have jumped ship to escape.

Wenpin and Huang Gai's flagships were separated by a distance of three feet, relying on their height advantage, jumped over the river and landed on the bow of the ship, shouting loudly: "Jin Wang is unified, the general trend is, why doesn't Huang Gongfu come down sooner?"

Huang Gai was about to burst into tears, and gritted his teeth: "Thief, I, Huang Gai, have received great favor from the Sun family for three generations, how can I bow down to serve the country's traitors. Who is like you, who betrays the master and seeks glory, and is in the company of Cai Mao's dog thief?"

Wen Pin was somewhat ashamed, but after thinking about it, how can there be any reason to kill the enemy on the battlefield at this time, and said angrily, "Huang Gai, are you going to surrender or not?"

Huang Gai said: "I swear to the death that I will not surrender, just watch me kill you, a despicable villain?" He swung his saber and came over to kill.

The sides of the two ships collided, and Huang Gai's flagship made a series of clicking sounds. Finally, the bow of the ship could not withstand the heavy pressure. With a loud bang, a big hole was broken, and the river was filled with white waves, surging in.The flagship immediately sank.Yuan Bing jumped down one after another from high places and joined the battle group.
