Chapter 2128 The wind rises and the flames are fierce(2/2)
Noises, shouts of killing, and the sounds of clashing swords and guns kept coming!
Sun Quan lay on the parapet, raised his head and looked around. His head couldn't help but buzz, and he felt like the world was spinning! He saw torches waving and swaying all over the mountains and plains, as if countless meteors had risen from the ground, covering the sky and the earth from the Yunmeng Ze.
It seems to be sweeping over!
It’s Cao Jun!
It was Cao Jun from Xincheng! He actually passed through Daze and attacked here!
A biting coldness rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. Sun Quan could even feel his scalp standing on end, and his whole body felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar!
Cao Jun had some soldiers in the direction of Xincheng. Sun Quan himself had indeed known this news for a long time. However, because the previous focus was on Jingbei, and there was no news from Jiangxia, Sun Quan did not pay attention to it, but
I didn't expect these Cao troops to appear here!
Sun Quan and others withdrew from Jiangling. The queue was long and they advanced by waterway. It seemed huge, but in fact, none of the soldiers and generals had the same vigor as when they attacked Jingzhou. On the other hand, Sun Quan received news from the rear, which was somewhat disappointing.
For a moment, I was confused and angry, and I didn't think about assigning the generals' responsibilities specifically. At the same time, in addition, the Jiangdong generals didn't like each other, so the cooperation between the veteran generals and the newcomers was not a tacit understanding, and then...
China's fine tradition of playing football once again came into play. Those on the water thought that those on the land would send scouts, while those on the land thought that those on the water should send snipers. In the end, there was neither, and no matter whether it was on the water or on land.
, most of Jiangdong's soldiers thought that the battle was over, and now everyone was focused on returning home quickly. Even if they did send scouts, they might not be effective.
Just like Wei Yan was not sure what was going on in Jingbei, and had been thinking about taking a look, Yu Jin in the new city was also thinking about Cao Cao's order, and wanted to fulfill his responsibility of flanking Jiangdong's soldiers and horses with all his heart.
, Although he had a fight with Huang Gai before, Yu Jin always believed that this was not the end of his responsibilities, but just the beginning.
Therefore, Yu Jin had been thinking about Sun Quan's food route for more than a day or two. As a result, just when Sun Quan and others were slowly retreating from Jiangling with a large amount of goods, Yu Jin launched...
Huang Gai? Wasn't Huang Gai punished by Sun Quan and followed Zhou Yu back to Jiangdong?
Calculating mentally and unintentionally, it seemed that in the blink of an eye, the fire spread from the river surface, like a fire dragon, trying to swallow up all the Jiangdong soldiers!
Cao Jun chose the location of this attack very well...
It was good for Cao Jun, but for the Jiangdong soldiers, it was like a nightmare.
Cao's army set fire to fight out of Yunmengze. Coupled with the north wind, the reeds and dead grass were quickly ignited under the wind and fire, and spread very quickly, catching the Jiangdong camp on the land unprepared! Even those around him were
The river water also had no ability to resist in the face of such a rapidly spreading fire!
The flying sparks, the ignited withered grass, and the rockets fired by Cao's army caused Jiangdong soldiers' camps on the land to be ignited in many places, like an earthworm that had been cut into several sections, writhing in pain.
, lost the power to fight back.
Sun Quan prided himself on being an expert, and he had read the military books thoroughly. If he argued about some military allusions, he could speak eloquently, and he was even three points better than ordinary generals!
But when Sun Quan really arrived on the battlefield...
It was like memorizing all the questions in Subject 1, and then when I actually got in the car, I found that the headlights were drooping, the engine was not only leaking oil but also burning oil, the clutch was not in place, and the brake and accelerator were extremely sluggish...
Cao's army pounced from Yunmengze, causing Jiangdong's troops to be in chaos. Sun Quan and other troops on the water had to get past the chaotic troops on the land if they wanted to support them. Even a counterattack was beyond their reach.
"Lord!"
"Lord!"
The hurried cry made Sun Quan tremble all over. Only then did he come back to his senses and found that Cheng Pu and Zhou Tai were already in front of him, calling urgently. Cheng Pu raised his head and said, "Lord, the enemy is coming from the north! We must fight quickly!"
Sun Quan took a deep breath. Although his back was still a little cold, his voice gradually became firm and heavy. "Now the wind and fire are strong, and the enemy may not be close. We can quickly get to the river and suppress it with boats."
, fight back again to put out the fire!』
This is undoubtedly a relatively correct choice.
With the support of the surface troops, the Jiangdong troops on land will have support and it will be easier to recover from the previous chaotic state, otherwise the situation will continue to deteriorate...
But, this choice alone is not enough.
In the darkness of night, the firelight shot into the sky, enough to make the surrounding scenery clear.
In Yunmeng Ze, the overwhelming firelights gradually gathered to form a bright array. Apparently Cao Jun also gathered into the array from a loose place, and then, just like a giant dragon spurting out raging flames, countless firelights came from the opposite side.
A huge sea of fire swam out, and with an earth-shattering cry of killing, it violently rushed over!
The murderous aura that suddenly appeared in front of him made Sun Quan unable to help but take a breath!
"Archer! Release the arrow!"
Following Cheng Pu's order, the arrows and crossbows on the boat were like locusts and raindrops, and they continued to pounce towards the enemy's firelight, and like moths to the flame, they disappeared in the light.
Because of the different nature of combat, ships are often equipped with strong bows and crossbows, and the number of arrows and crossbows in reserve is also larger than that of ordinary land units. When it comes to long-range weapons, Jiangdong has a lot of reserves, especially powerful ones.
crossbow.
Crossbows are also divided into light, heavy, strong and weak.
Let’s not talk about light crossbows. Sometimes the crossbow arrows fired by larger arrows will float in the wind. As for strong crossbows, whether it is the Zhangzhang crossbow of the pre-Qin Dynasty or the yellow shoulder crossbow of the Han Dynasty, they are all very powerful long-range weapons.
The crossbow is known as the "sharp weapon of the Han Dynasty" and is the main battle weapon of the Han army. Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, sixty-seven out of ten soldiers in the army have been equipped with crossbows. In the past, Wei Qing went on an expedition to the Huns and encountered the main force of the enemy's cavalry, so he first
Iron chariots were used to form a circular formation, with crossbowmen in the center. When the enemy was unable to attack from a long distance and was tired and ineffective, the iron cavalry was suddenly released to attack the enemy's tired army, thus achieving a complete victory.
Jinnu has both advantages and disadvantages. Its manufacturing process is much more complicated than that of a bow, and its cost is astonishingly high. Coupled with the frequent wars in recent years, it is impossible to organize large-scale production. Therefore, troops everywhere are increasingly equipped with crossbows.
There were few large-scale battles in Jiangdong before, and the impact of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was less than that of the Central Plains. In addition, many people from the Central Plains moved south to escape the disaster, bringing not only the population but also many craftsmen, so this time Sun Quan
It is naturally impossible to go to Jingzhou to fight without some sharp weapons. At present, Sun Quan's direct bodyguards are almost equipped with a crossbow, adding up to a thousand weapons. In addition, there are boats and women's walls to protect them, so there is no need to worry too much about their own safety.
, now they are approaching the river and shooting at the place where Cao Jun's fire comes!
The strong bows and crossbows seemed to have hit some of Cao Jun's fire, and also caused some damage. Some faint screams were heard, but obviously, it was completely different from what Sun Quan and others had originally expected!
Such dense arrows and crossbows covered the shots. Even if Cao's army had armor to protect ordinary arrows, they could not withstand the powerful crossbows!
Could it be that Cao Jun has some ghostly power that makes him immune to damage?!
However, in the blink of an eye, Sun Quan and others understood that Cao Jun actually used a trick to attract Sun Quan and others' attention by using firelight. However, in fact, there were not many people deployed, and those real killing moves were not executed at all.
