Chapter 347

At night, Zhou Yu's main tent burst out from a crack in the curtain, shining on the ground outside the tent, and reflected the moonlight in the sky to the pale silver light of the soldiers' weapons guarded at the door, intertwining into a sad and depressing mood.

The main tent was quiet within ten meters, and no one walked around. The soldiers respected the young governor from the bottom of their hearts.

Not only Sun Quan's love and respect, but just the first time he went north, he caught Chen Deng off guard. This skill made the soldiers respect him.

Outside the range of the dark yellow and pale light, there were thunderous snoring sounds one after another. Most of these troops retreated from the north shore, but there were only a few thousand people, and most of them did not have time to come back, or they could not come back forever.

Zhou Yu is also making a decision now, should he continue to delay for two more days so that the troops who have discovered the double-season rice can dig back more? In this way, they can also get better results when planted in the future.

But if this is the case, Jiangbei will definitely not be able to hold back and will definitely have to fight with them in close combat. How can we not be at a disadvantage when facing the well-equipped Cao army?

Strategy and terrain.

In terms of total military strength, Jiangdong has some advantages, but it is not an absolute advantage. Moreover, Cao's army's combat power is definitely above the Jiangdong army. The terrain, for the Jiangdong army, the biggest advantage is water. The Yangtze River stretches thousands of miles and cannot be used as a battlefield. However, Cao's army also has a very powerful naval army. The most terrifying thing is their tower ship, which is the mobile city on the water!

However, the Yangtze River also has urgent water flows and narrow places. As long as the battlefield is arranged in these positions, with the small and flexible characteristics of Jiangdong warships, winning is not a problem.

In terms of strategy, Zhou Yu was even more worried because he never regarded Zhang Feng as a real opponent.

The river surface is pitch black, and you can only see blurry shadows when you look around. You can't see where the reefs are or where the river water is. Only waves of tides are washed away by your ears, reminding the world of its existence.

The waves were loud, rustling, wave after wave, and wave after wave, rushing back and forth against the towering reefs and mountain walls, although it seemed so futile. The smell of salty river water was scattered everywhere in the air, and with the blowing of the sea breeze, it filled the entire river bank in the river.

Under the cover of the sound of striking waves, a huge black shadow slowly moved to the bank of the river, and around it, some smaller black shadows were like ghosts. The view at night was poor, and the lights in Zhou Yu's camp could not shine on the river surface, and no one noticed the appearance of a strange phenomenon for a moment.

It was not until the dark shadows appeared in the black shadows, and began to attack and defend the camp with weak defense, that the sound of gongs and drums sounded like a blow-out.

These men in black were not afraid of being discovered at all. As soon as they were exposed in the fire, they began to shoot the sentries beside the torch. These sentries were not prepared for a sudden attack on the secret, and the sentries closest to the river were killed.

The man in black at the beginning attacked quickly, but what happened next was a bit surprising. The man in black at the back did not attack with him, but formed a fan and carefully guarded the surroundings. Then, from the huge black shadow, one war horse after another came down!

That's right, it's a war horse! Unlike ordinary horses, trained war horses have very strong ability to recognize the way, and they will not be frightened easily, nor are they afraid of fire. More importantly, they will not neigh on the battlefield randomly.

On the land of Jiangdong, there were very few war horses from the north. One important reason was that Cao Cao controlled most of the excellent horse sources, from the submissive Xiongnu to You and Liang. These horses were all under his jurisdiction, so there were naturally very few horses left for others.

However, there are many mountains in the east of the Yangtze River, but there are not mountains everywhere. It refers to Kuaiji and other places. There are also large plains on the south bank of the Yangtze River that can be allowed to gallop with horses.

Obviously, this time, Jiang Dongjun tasted the helpless feeling of being trampled by iron hooves at his doorstep.

There were not many horses, and several tower ships only carried two hundred horses. However, in such a dark night, in such a sudden attack, the uniform sound of horse hooves was simply the singing of death!

Losing the warning and instructions of his companions beside the firelight, facing the sound of horse hooves and shouts of killing, the Jiangdong army's surprising actions were consistent - to escape!

The two hundred cavalry and nine hundred men who came ashore followed the pace of the fleeing army, while the remaining people occupied the warning points of the Jiangdong Army.

The speed of defeat was enough to catch up with the horse's hooves. It arrived in dozens of miles at once. The defeated army by the river lost its vigilance in panic. It was only by instinct that it fled to Zhou Yu's head coach's tent, where could it find a sense of peace and safety.

Zhou Yu's camp responded soon.

The large group of people rushed out of the hill-like tents and gathered at the Central Military Office under the leadership of the general. The guards had already moved to resist the horses and were ready to fight the battle - not only the enemy attack, but also the rushing of their own people!

In the darkness, the deserters ignored their own people's serious and hostile eyes, and plunged into the fortified camp like moths to a fire. The sharp spear tips and blood-ridden sharp horses did not make them realize that this was not a way to escape.

"Be careful, if anyone dares to get close to the central army, they will be killed without mercy!" Lu Meng issued an order loudly, while riding a horse and riding back to the formation.

While speaking, two more teams of archers arrived in line and joined the defense against the enemy attackers.

Some deserters reacted, but the pursuers behind seemed to be deliberately trying to drive them to death. As long as they did not run to both sides, they would not shoot. In this way, a few sober people were surrounded by the large army and rushed into the camp.

The horse was swept away, and more than a dozen corpses were stabbed to death on it. You Zi opened his eyes wide open, and he died with his eyes open.

The soldiers who were strictly refusing to guard the door were finally chasing the juncture by deserters. At this time, there were not many 200 people, but they were all pursuers from the bow and cavalry!

Like locust arrow branches, they crossed the heads of the deserters, and happily roared towards all the Jiangdong troops facing them, and all the arrows on the arrow branches were ignited!

Rocket!

Just like the most poignant fireworks, the last moment before burning out, two hundred dazzling fire lotus fell neatly into the shocked and helpless enemy army. At the last moment of those who were shot, their eyes were full of raging flames reflected!

The first wave of rockets did not target deserters, but they were even more scared. As the compatriots in front of them faced them, flames burning from big or small fell down, they worked harder to escape, and even began to use weapons and fists to exchange for a glimmer of hope for themselves.

The swords and swords are in front of you, and those robes that were once cut off from your own escape. The darkness and essence of human nature can only be revealed in the face of such a major test as survival.

It seemed like a rebellion. The deserters were willing to face their own swords and guns, and they were not willing to listen to the neat sound of horse hooves in their ears at close range. With Lu Meng's death order, the defenders who were still a little reluctant finally began to raise their butcher knives to these deserters who were already red-eyed and killed them like enemies!

The continuous line of soldiers from Jiangdong gathered in the direction of the camp gate. The defenders who were originally in chaos gradually narrowed the gap, at the cost of the corpses of their own people who kept falling down on the ground. Although the two hundred bows and cavalry who chased the wind and water were no one ordered, they had a tacit understanding. They stopped not far from the camp gate, but they just kept shooting arrows, archery and archery.

The light was not very strong, and the armor these black figures were wearing on horseback. However, it was certain that they had a certain degree of hardness of arrows. The soldiers kept firing arrows at them on the high buildings on both sides of the camp gate, but at most they were shaking, but none of them fell off the horse, and there was no screaming!

There were more and more soldiers behind the camp gate, but they were suffering from deserters being separated by them and the enemy cavalry, so they could not give it a try. Hundreds of enemy infantry in the same black clothes followed at this time, and also unloaded their big bows from their backs, and together with those riding horses, they shot out rockets that were about to ignite the sky!

The dozens of meters at the entrance of the camp were instantly bright like daylight, followed by dozens of continuous screams. Fortunately, the enemy's rockets were not large, and after three rounds, ordinary arrow branches had already begun to be used.

But even so, the three-wheeled rockets caught fire everywhere at the camp gate, and the angry scolding of the soldiers and the sound of weapons fighting each other seemed to be shaky.

Lu Meng could see immediately behind that the number of these attacking enemies was not large, so he did not dare to force the camp. If he had not driven the defeated army to rush the camp, he would probably have wiped out all 20,000 people here!

If it weren't for these hateful defeated soldiers!

Lu Meng waved his hand, and hundreds of cavalry behind him followed him tightly: "Give up the way! Those who block the way will be killed without mercy!"

The soldiers in Zhou Yu's tent were indeed as military orders as mountains, without any hesitation, as thick as a rock. The soldiers guarding Yingkou suddenly revealed a passage that could accommodate two cavalry in parallel like a wave.

"Follow me to kill the enemy cavalry!"

Lu Meng didn't say much. Facing the defeated soldier who was still in his own way, he did not hesitate and lifted the reins a little. The horse was also humane, raised his hooves and stomped the soldier's face to disappear.

The defeated army saw this scene and finally became a little smarter and squeezed to both sides, for fear that they would be trampled to death by the cavalry that Lu Meng rushed out suddenly.

The infantry on the side of the sneak attacker retreated without hesitation, while the two hundred cavalry targeted these cavalry who wanted to fight in close combat.

Once the arrow rain becomes dense, even Lu Bu will probably retreat.

For a moment, the bows and arrows were as dense as locusts in front of Lu Meng. Although Lu Meng's swords were already ventilated, three arrows were still nailed into the armor, namely the left arm, the left shoulder and the right leg.

However, Lu Meng's armor was not an ordinary item, because he did not leave the horse either.

However, the two riders who were tightest behind him were nailed like hedgehogs, and even screamed. They lay down straight with the horse without moving for a moment.

It was obvious that the speed of the Jiangdong cavalry came out slowed down. Lu Meng alone was too late to deal with the rain of arrows, so where could he rush forward to fight in close combat?

After the infantry retreated, the two hundred cavalry were divided into two, one hundred continued to shoot, and the other hundred rode their horses and retreated for a short section to meet the compatriots behind the palace.

When the battle at the camp gate ended and the cavalry finally rushed out with the infantry, the two hundred cavalry had run away, as if they did not exist at all. It was just that the chaotic horse hoof prints on the ground could prove that they did exist.

Lu Meng's lungs were almost irritated. He didn't even find a single enemy's hair, but so many soldiers on guarding the river were killed in vain!

It was killed by my own hands!

The armor in front of him was like a field full of double-season rice. More than a dozen arrows were inserted into it arrogantly and persistently. This armor was really good. None of them could cause real damage, and the most thing was to make the skin bleed.

"Governor." Lu Meng entered the quotation and paid order, feeling dejected.

"how?"

"There are not many enemies coming, they should be around a thousand people. But while it was dark, there were horses, which made the soldiers on the river panic, and therefore they rushed back to the gate of our main tent, otherwise they would be wiped out!"

"Haha, I didn't expect that Zhang Feng was also a little brave, even if I suffered a small loss." Zhou Yu was not angry at all, and took off Dahui again, hung it on the wall of the tent, and placed his helmet on the table in front of him.

"The last general is incompetent, please punish the governor!"

After waiting for a long time, he didn't see Zhou Yu telling him, so Lu Meng could only ask helplessly.

"It's not Ziming's fault. Even the enemy generals are trapped in this way, let alone you?" Zhou Yu smiled, making Lu Meng's depressed heart bright again.

Yes, even if the governor hasn't calculated it, how could he have a solution?

"Zi Ming, now I have a good deed. Do you have the courage to get it?" Although Zhou Yu was laughing, his eyes were full of brilliance.

Lu Menggang's heart was tightened again. The governor was fine in everything, but he just didn't want to suffer losses in this regard.

If others take advantage of him in terms of wisdom, he will definitely not be convinced. He will try every means to take advantage of it before he can stop, or take advantage of it more before he can stop!

The hundreds of people who attacked were all Zhang Feng's guards' archers and cavalry, and Huang Xu's three thousand vanguards were selected, so they were naturally good. They covered the infantry and boarded the ship first until they all got on the ship safely and left. It took a few quarters of an hour, but they never saw the enemy chasing him.

He pulled off the black clothes covered by his body that were not eye-catching in order to sneak, one of the generals breathed a sigh of relief: "This battle is unhappy, and it's not a real sword or gun fucking him. He fired a few arrows from afar and left."

Another person spoke out: "What else do you want? You haven't seen Zhou Yu's howling in front of the camp. Tell you that he is not a simple person. What the general said is that it is good to be able to make him like this."

It was Xu Huang!

"Everyone is careful, and we must guard against the Jiangdong Army's fraud on the river. Our ship is conspicuous and we are careful to be targeted."

"Don't worry, General Xu, if the kids in Jiangdong have the courage to touch them at this time, I will chop my head and use it as a stool for them!"

Obviously, this successful sneak attack without any effort made the soldiers' morale greatly boosted. Although Xu Huang thought they were too excited, it was not easy to scold them at this time.

He just said lightly, "It's better to be careful."

The big ship sailed the wind at night and headed eastward, setting anchors thirty miles from the attack site. This was a small temporary port, but there were 3,000 people stationed to support him. Although most of them were Guangling's garrisons, Chen Deng's subordinates, Zhang Feng's army was still around Guangling County.

The soldiers were talking and laughing and pulled the horses down from the boat. Although the armor was not taken off, their bodies and minds had been completely relaxed. The garrison who was supporting began to pull up the springboard and put up the cables. It was too unsafe to park here, and it was eye-catching, and it was close to Moling.

Suddenly someone saw dozens of black dots on the river in the distance. He thought it was a reef, but in a blink of an eye, the black dots turned into dozens, and they rose and fell on the river with the waves...

It's a ship!

It seemed like a copy of the scene when the sneak attack just now, but the sneak attackers and the sneak attackers were all lost. With the inconspicuous boat, the Jiangdong Army successfully followed Cao Jun secretly and touched the port all the way!

Then there was the same rain of arrows, and then hundreds of small boats, large and small, squeezed the small port like ants!

Jiang Dongjun, who was holding his breath, had red eyes and held his knife to slash at Cao's army who was still energetic just now!
