    In the battle on the battlefield, the tactics are ever-changing, including frontal assault, outflanking, clever ambush, deception and luring the enemy The most testing skill among them is the sneak attack in the middle of the night. What is important is: "Silent like a ghost walking, secretly sending an impermanent death."  I don¡¯t know!  ¡¯

    In order to conceal his whereabouts, Zhou Yu ordered the fleet to extinguish the lights and move forward in the dark when they were twenty miles away from the Wulin camp. When they were ten miles away, each ship put away all its oars and moved forward slowly by the current, keeping touching.  Arrived near the water village!

    The Jingzhou navy's camp is located in a gourd-shaped port, with the land on three sides. A large number of barriers, warehouses, and wharves have been built One side is a narrow waterway, about two hundred feet wide, with three protective fences.  , and six sturdy water gates for the entry and exit of ships!

    The materials used to build the fence are all logs seven to eight feet long and as thick as a double arm. After being sharpened at one end, they are smashed into the sand layer with a heavy hammer, and then chained together one by one with arm-thick iron chains - as strong as  Rocks and winds and waves are indestructible!

    Observation towers were built on top of the six giant water gates, and the Jingzhou navy was stationed on them. They held torches and patrolled back and forth. Their figures never stopped. Once they discovered the enemy, they would light fireworks and sound the alarm to the water stronghold.  !

    There are also beacon towers built on the high ground near the water village, and soldiers are stationed day and night. If the enemy attacks from land, they will set off smoke during the day and light fires late at night. Moreover, the beacon towers are very dense, leaving no blind spots!

    I have to admit that Cai Hao and Zhang Yun are of low character, but they have lived in Jingzhou for a long time and are proficient in water warfare. At least this water stronghold built is both offensive and defensive and impeccable. This is why Xiao Yi takes care of them everywhere. These two useful villains,  Better than a bunch of useless gentlemen!

    However, there is a strong middle hand, and the mountain is still higher than Yishan. If Cai Yan and Zhang Yun are masters in the water, Zhou Yu is the reincarnation of the Dragon King. Since he dares to come late at night, he will naturally be prepared!

    "Whoosh!¡ª¡ªWhoosh! Whoosh!"

    More than two hundred "water ghosts" were dispatched. Under the cover of the dark night, they slowly approached the Jingzhou water village along the flowing Yangtze River water. Then, holding reed pipes in their mouths, they lurked under the water and entangled themselves tightly with the giant trees.  fence.

    The 'water ghosts' carry wooden hammers, iron chisels, and hacksaws and lurk under the water, quickly destroying the wooden fences, and doing so very carefully. When there are waves of water coming, they will hit them quickly.  A few times to cover up the sound.

    When the water waves receded, they lurked and remained motionless, relying entirely on reed tubes to breathe. Therefore, the Jingzhou Navy patrolled back and forth, but they did not expect that someone was secretly destroying the water stronghold under the water!

    More than half an hour later, the 'water ghosts' completed their task and tore apart the underwater part of the wooden fence. It looked fine on the surface, but when the ship came over and hit it, it would immediately fall into pieces

    Then, while the water waves receded, the 'water ghosts' threw away their tools and swam desperately towards the fleet. Zhou Yu also sent a dozen small boats to meet these heroes, but more than 200 water ghosts were sent back successfully.  There were only more than thirty people, and the rest were either washed away without a trace by the waves, or they were exhausted from swimming and sank into the river!

    The 'Water Ghosts' were originally Jiangdong's elites and had made many military exploits. However, in the previous water battles, Xiao Yi's 'quicklime' fighting method boiled more than half of them alive. Tonight, nearly two hundred people were lost. It was a great loss.  It¡¯s all damaged, and it may take some time to recover!

    ??The next step was to fight with real swords and guns. Gan Ning led a hundred boats, all of which were strong and skilled warriors, and headed straight for the destruction of the water stronghold, preparing to rush in from there and open a way for the army!

    "Enemy attack! - Enemy attack! - Release your arrows - light the beacon!"

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Gan Ning and others were extra careful, but hundreds of boats rushed over, and it was impossible not to leave traces. After the Jingzhou navy discovered the enemy's situation, they lit beacons and sounded the alarm around them, while using strong bows and crossbows to shoot closer.  enemy ship!

    A giant crossbow operated by five people can fire three arrows at a time. They are all one foot long and as thick as a child's arm. The range can reach more than a hundred feet. A soldier wearing heavy armor can penetrate three or four people in a row. A slightly smaller crossbow.  Ships can be shattered into pieces upon impact!

    Wherever the arrows hit, Jiangdong's army fell one by one - corpses floated on the water, blood stained the river, and the boat capsized a lot. However, most of the soldiers under Gan Ning's command were water thieves.  Each and every one of them was not afraid of death and continued to charge despite the rain of arrows. Even those who fell into the water were rowing forward desperately

    "Long! Long!¡ª¡ªCrack!¡ª¡ªKill!"

    Rushing to the vicinity of the water stronghold, the Jiangdong naval forces drew their bows and arrows to kill the Jingzhou army above. At the same time, they used the strongest bow of the ship to violently hit the fence, quickly creating aA large hole of thirty feet, and then swarmed in, killing people and setting fires everywhere!

    The main force of the Jingzhou navy is besieging Sanjiangkou. There are not many people left behind, and they are fighting in the middle of the night. They are inevitably panicked. They are beaten without the ability to fight back. Three lines of defense and six water gates have been lost one after another!

    At the same time: Zhou Tai and Pan Zhang led more than 200 large ships and rushed into the water stronghold, killing the Jingzhou navy. However, Zhou Yu led the main force, but stayed at the entrance of the water stronghold and did not join the battle.  !

    As the saying goes: ¡®Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.¡¯ In the past confrontations, Zhou Yu always suffered from Xiao Yi, either losing troops or suffering hardships, which has left a shadow in his heart!

    Although the sneak attack went smoothly and the soldiers entered the water stronghold, Zhou Yu was still very vigilant in his heart, fearing that it was Xiao Yi's conspiracy again and setting a big trap for himself. Therefore, before the battle situation was clear, he could not  Dare to put the main force in!

    ¡°Did the invincible Ghost-faced Xiao Lang really run out of tricks this timeor was it the blessing of Bo Fu¡¯s spirit in the sky that allowed me to seal the victory in one fell swoop?

    Orders were sent to generals Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Pan Zhang to seize the water stronghold in one go, and then send people to the Lu stronghold to persuade the defenders inside to surrender. As long as they defect and disarm, I will not kill any of them!  "

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Facts have proved that Zhou Yu was overly worried. The attack was extremely smooth. It only took more than an hour to basically occupy the key points of the water stronghold. The Jingzhou navy either died or surrendered, and had no power to fight back!

    The surrounding waterways and reeds have been searched, and not a single ambush has been seen. There are some soldiers and horses in the Lu village, but those people are not used to water warfare and cannot come to support at all. They are just shouting randomly!

    At this point, Zhou Yu felt relieved and put the main force into the battlefield, quickly expanding the results. At the same time, he sent people to land on the beach and peeked at Wulin's land camp, but he was not in a hurry to launch an attack!

    On the one hand, Cao's army has been stationed in Wulin for more than half a year, and the camp is impregnable. Jiangdong's army is not good at infantry fighting. If they attack by force, the troops and horses will suffer heavy casualties!

    On the other hand, millions of ordnance and supplies are hoarded in Luzhai. If the defenders are forced to panic and they set a fire to burn them all, wouldn't it be a waste?

    Therefore, Zhou Yu sent troops to land and surrounded Luzhai without attacking, creating a kind of psychological coercion. He also sent eloquent people into the camp to persuade the defenders to surrender, and offered extremely generous terms!

    According to intelligence: Xiao Yi took all the men who were good at fighting to attack Sanjiangkou. Most of those left behind were the old, weak, sick and disabled, and Jia Xu, who was in charge of Luzhai, was a guy with no reputation, no official position, and no merit.  , even if you think about it, you don¡¯t have any skills!

    ¡°According to past experience, when dealing with such ¡®three noes¡¯ people, using force to intimidate and bribe them with wealth will lead to success. But the facts have proven that Zhou Yu got it right again this time!  ¡¯

    "Report to the Grand Governor: Faced with my invincible military power, Jia Xu shivered with fear and expressed his willingness to surrender his camp. He was worried about his own life and asked the Grand Governor to write a letter of guarantee, so that he could feel relieved!

    My subordinates have secretly observed that there are only more than 10,000 troops in the camp, and there are no other ambushes. Instead, there are mountains of ordnance, food and grass, as well as many nest cars, crash cars, and thunder cars, all of which are great weapons in land warfare!  "

    The envoy came back in a flash, his face full of excitement, and reported the results of the negotiations after entering the camp, as well as the investigation situation!

    After listening to the report, Zhou Yu felt relieved a little. He immediately took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a "letter of guarantee" with his own hands: As long as Jia Xu surrenders his camp, not only will his life be safe, but he will also be a high-ranking official with generous salary and title.  Wife shadow!

    Cao Jun was able to sweep across the Central Plains. In addition to the wise commander and brave soldiers, one of the reasons was the excellent military equipment, especially the big yellow crossbow, thunder chariot, and iron caltrops These things played a huge role on the battlefield and had the power to change the situation!

    "There are dozens of these battlefield weapons invented by Xiao Yi and developed by Zhengming Academy. The princes from all over the world are jealous and want to get some and equip their own troops with them!"

    However, Cao Ying's defense was extremely tight. Not to mention the ordnance manufacturing blueprints, not even a single part or a nail was leaked. The princes tried their best to send people to steal and bribe them with huge sums of money. However, the rate of success was very small, and occasionally they were found.  Even a few parts cannot be assembled into a killer weapon!

    As for the battlefield, when Cao Jun encountered an unfavorable situation, the first thing he did was to smash his ordnance, because military law stipulates: 'If important ordnance falls into the enemy's hands, regardless of victory or defeat on the battlefield, the general will be severely punished and the soldiers will be beheaded!  ¡¯

    This time Cao's army retreated in embarrassment. Although a lot of ordnance was destroyed, there were not a few left behind. If Jiangdong's army gets it and has skilled craftsmen imitate it, their land warfare and siege capabilities will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, and the Northern Expedition will also be a great success.  force!

    Therefore, Zhou Yu wrote a letter and asked the envoy to enter the camp a second time to persuade them to surrender. He also sent Jiang Qin and Ding Feng to lead a group of troops to gather in front of the Luzhai camp, preparing to enter the camp to receive ordnance and collect the surrendering troops inside!

    At the same time, seeing the fire in Wulin camp, Xiao Yi, who was besieging Sanjiangkou, gathered all his troops and came back to rescue. The huge fleet sailed upstream, and the lights shone on both sides of the Yangtze River (remember this site's website address: www  .hlnovel.com)The city's capabilities will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, and the Northern Expedition will also be very effective in the future!
