Chapter 3452 A moment of rays
On the river, the Jiangdong Army broke the norm and gave up the central position. On the surface, it seemed to be afraid of the artillery of the Sichuan and Shu Army, but in fact it was to build a death trap.
The appearance of artillery on warships is undoubtedly a huge, even cross-age change.
However, most new things are relatively weak in the initial stage and cannot really play a final role.
In history, cold weapons have coexisted with heat weapons for a long time. It was not until gunpowder weapons finally matured that cold weapons retreated to the second line.
It's the second line, not the disappearance.
Therefore, relying on artillery can make the Jiangdong Army afraid and destroy the Jiangdong Army's ships, but relying entirely on artillery, or directly bombard Zhou Yu with one shot to end the battle...
Then you will also be favored by the God of Luck.
Artillery is not omnipotent. Generals who think artillery can determine everything will often end in failure.
In history, Napoleon also felt that artillery could determine everything during the Battle of Waterloo.
Unfortunately, the twelve-pound cannon, which was deeply favored by Napoleon, did not play a key role at critical moments.
If Zhuge Liang put all the chips on the cannon, it would be equivalent to limiting all the cards in one hand to the cannon. Once the cannon cannot fully achieve it, it would be equivalent to the entire card ineffective.
This is like the regicide knife in the hands of a thief. Once it is taken, it basically means GG.
Zhuge Liang obviously would not be so stupid. He had a more flexible strategy and did not need to take risks. Even for Xu Huang and Zhuge Liang, only by defeating the Jiangdong Army with a righteous army can we truly cultivate the momentum of the Sichuan and Shu navy. Otherwise, no matter how many ships there are, they cannot do without the Sichuan and Shu rivers, and they cannot be on the river or even dominate the world!
On the other side, Gan Ning's pursuit was also intercepted by the Jiangdong Army.
When Gan Ning first started, he chased and killed him happily.
As he chased after, Gan Ning suddenly felt something was wrong. When he looked up, he saw that the mountains ahead were high and steep, and there were dense trees. It seemed that some light flashed in the shadow of the woods...
Gan Ning's heart thumped, and when he looked closely, he saw nothing.
What's in the forest?
Gan Ning couldn't help but take a two-step slower step and then started to think about it.
Although it may be a rock or a reflection of water droplets, it is more likely to be a sword and a gun!
『Reflective swords and guns!』
Gan Ning quickly reacted and shouted, "There is an ambush! There is an ambush ahead!"
Gan Ning's voice echoed in the mountains, but from being transmitted to hearing, and then making the soldiers realize what the problem was, there was a certain delay. Moreover, Gan Ning's shouting, the ambushing Jiangdong Army also heard it.
"They found us!"
『Don't panic!』
"If you discover it, you will find it, prepare to attack!"
『Arrows, arrows are ready!』
『Stone! Throw the stone down!』
Arrows and falling rocks roared down the mountain, causing chaos in the Gansu-Ningxia team.
Because Gan Ning's formation was in the process of hunting, it dragged a long way and did not have a decent array. When it was ambushed by the Jiangdong Army, there was no question of any counterattack on the spot, and part of it was soon defeated.
However, the disadvantage of this formation also brings some advantages, which is also caused by Gan Ning's ambush in advance by Gan Ning's discovery of the Jiangdong Army. Because Gan Ning's queue was lengthened in the mountain road, when it was attacked by the Jiangdong Army, the only one who lost was the front, that is, the closest part to chase Zhou Tai. The part where Gan Ning was located in the middle and some soldiers behind were not attacked by the Jiangdong Army.
Of course, if Gan Ning failed to discover the ambush of the Jiangdong Army in advance, the result would definitely be different.
This is true in war.
No one is fully sure.
At the last moment, Gan Ning was excited to chase Zhou Tai with his men, and the next moment, his own soldiers crashed into the ambush circle of the Jiangdong Army.
Seeing this, although Gan Ning was unwilling to do so, he had to stop chasing Zhou Tai and withdraw his troops and redirect.
On the other hand, Zhou Tai was in a mess. Looking at the military academy sent by Zhou Yu, he felt angry, but he did not dare to show it. "Governor... What order does the governor have?"
Zhou Yu predicted that there would be ambush when he arrived at Sichuan and Shu army, but he did not notify Zhou Tai, and even asked Zhou Tai to continue to move forward. This was almost like asking Zhou Tai to step on the other party's trap!
If Zhou Tai hadn't always felt bad and hadn't rushed to the front line, then now he might have died in this nameless forest!
They are all surnamed Zhou, why should they do this?!
Although Zhou Tai's Zhou is written in the same way as Zhou Yu's Zhou, but his background is different, Zhou Yu never valued Zhou Tai much, but he showed the huge class nature of the upper and lower levels so nakedly. Even if Zhou Tai works hard, he may not be fully comfortable.
However, Zhou Yu's military academy obviously didn't care what Zhou Tai thought at all, and from a certain perspective, he "saves" Zhou Tai's life, so Zhou Yu's direct military academy gave Zhou Yu's second handwritten warrant without saying a word.
Zhou Tai laughed with her, opened Zhou Yu's handwritten, and then his eyes narrowed.
『What does this mean?』
Zhou Tai's hands trembled slightly.
Zhou Yu's military academy glanced at Zhou Tai coldly, and then said in a deep voice: "Now the governor personally takes the arrows and stones, using his body as bait to win this battle. I wonder what questions the general has?"
Zhou Tai was silent for a while, and then said: "I obey the order."
Zhou Yu's direct military academy nodded and took the people away.
Zhou Tai sat dejectedly on the rock beside him.
When Zhou Tai's guard saw Zhou Yu's military academy and others leaving, he came up and said, "General, is it the governor who was punished? We... the thief army was so cunning, and they actually ambushed in advance... We can't blame us for this!"
Zhou Tai was silent for a long time before reaching out and patting his cheek, "Okay! The governor has an order! The whole team is ready to set off!"
"Depart?!" the guard asked, "Where to go?"
Zhou Tai looked back at the direction of Jiangdong Water Village, "Of course it's an attack! We want to counterattack! They definitely didn't expect that we would counterattack! Everyone has it, heading towards the direction of the thieves!"
Yes, not only the cavalry army might not have expected it, but even the Jiangdong soldiers under Zhou Tai did not have expected it!
However, after the military order was issued, they had to drag their tired bodies again and set off again.
...
...
Jiangdong Water Village, where the middle formation is.
When everyone looked up, they could see the figure under the banner of the general commander in the Central Army formation.
The sunlight shone on the figure, covering him with a layer of gold edge.
Almost all Jiangdong soldiers felt at ease when they saw such a scene, but only the guards and military academies around Zhou Yu seemed worried.
Zhou Yu's health is getting worse and worse, and he is eating less and less.
Although it looks good on the surface, it is actually supported by the golden elixir.
Is this kind of golden elixir? Some people are leaning on Yanhuang and I, as if they are attributed to the same theme of Huang Lao, Luhuo and the Book of Changes. But in fact, Huang Lao's technique and outer elixir, that is, the current golden elixir of the Han Dynasty, are not related to the current golden elixir. The "Book of Changes" is even more than 100,800 miles away from the outer elixir.
The reason why I was mistaken for the same is of course because there are many similar terms in "cultivation", and I don't know who copied who...
Alchemy is actually a by-product of China's metallurgy industry.
At the beginning, these colored ores were used as pigments. While they were painted, there were paintings of mineral pigments everywhere on the earth, including more or less.
However, few civilizations can actually turn these pigments into metals.
Because many civilizations do not have a pottery industry.
Without pottery, there would be no fire; without fire, there would be no metallurgy.
This is the route of technology climbing and there is no tolerance for any ambiguity.
There are some civilizations that clearly have no pottery industry or any historical imprints of blast furnace metallurgy, but they can finally carve stones and hide steel in the "stones", which must be called "magical".
In fact, to a certain extent, the golden elixir is a creature that ancient Chinese people long for longevity like heaven and earth. The effect of the golden elixir is basically the body's immune system mobilized by the human body to eliminate these toxins from the golden elixir, that is, the potential within the body. If the potential within the body is mobilized too much and overdrawn, there will naturally be no good results.
Zhou Yu's hair has become slightly gray and sparse, and the color of his skin is also dull. All the states do not match his age.
This naturally attracted the attention and concern of the guards around Zhou Yu. Under such circumstances, how could these guards of Zhou Yu, directly under the military academy, pay attention to other people's emotions?
Their generals and the governor of Jiangdong have all fought to the present level. What else can others push and stop?
Zhou Yu looked up at the smoke and flames on the river, and suddenly smiled, "If you have this great battle in this life, you can fight against a strong enemy and show what you have learned, and this life will be worth it!"
Zhou Yu smiled, "It's a pity that Bo Fu failed to see him here in person..."
The guard beside Zhou Yu's eyes turned red and his voice choked, "Governor..."
Perhaps others are not very clear about it, but the personal guards around Zhou Yu can clearly feel Zhou Yu's life, like a meteor in the sky, burning hotly, colorful, but it will soon fall, extinguish, and disappear...
Even a normal and healthy person can't stand it all the time. What's more, Zhou Yu's health is already very poor now. In the past few days, his strong desire for victory has been supporting him.
'Everyone will die...' Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, without looking back at the guard, 'If you have the pleasure, why should you be afraid? Today's battle can change the world's general! As a general, what he has been asking for throughout his life, but that's it!'
...
...
The attack of the Sichuan and Shu army is still continuing.
On the front battlefield, tall tower ships stand tall with a grand momentum.
Like a giant beast ready to go, stepping on the water, looking coldly at the prey ahead.
In front of the tower ship, the fighting ship and the rushing rush were ready to go.
The scales on the armor and the sharp blades on the weapons shine brightly under the reflection of the sunlight.
"Kong Ming, I can't understand..." Xu Huang frowned and said, "Jiangdong needs to attack with fire, but the river flows eastward... In this way, wouldn't it burn themselves?"
Zhuge Liang looked up at the flag on the tower.
The river breeze blows south.
This season, most of the wind blowing southwards.
Whether it is south or north, in fact, for the Sichuan and Shu army and the Jiangdong army, which are now on the east and west sides, they generally have the same effect, and no one is more beneficial.
And in the direction of the river, it was obvious that the Jiangdong Army suffered a loss...
Zhuge Liang didn't believe that Zhou Yu couldn't even calculate this, so there must be something they didn't notice, but it would add a chance of winning to Jiangdong.
Concealed stake?
fence?
Is Zhou Yu using tricks in real life and knowing that Xu Huang and Zhuge Liang would think too much, so in fact, it was to lure the Sichuan and Shu navy to fight in a place where the water flow changes more and tests basic skills?
Or...
Zhuge Liang's eyes were thinking around him, and he was also thinking quickly.
...
...
On another narrow mountain road, Jiang Qin couldn't help but feel a little scared when he looked at the mountain stream under his feet.
Although it is not a deep abyss, I still feel a little weak when I look from top to bottom.
Jiang Qin and the others were used to watching the river water on the boat, not the stream water on the mountains.
There is no way to choose to take such a path.
Zhou Yu inferred that the Sichuan and Shu army must be prepared for one side of Zhou Tai, so Zhou Tai is destined to fail and can only become a feint attack that attracts the attention of the Sichuan and Shu army. This kind of road that takes a step is like a road that needs to roll down a mountain stream, and can't even be called a "road", so that it can truly have unexpected effects.
The only disadvantage is...
It's hard to leave.
Jiang Qin tried not to look at his feet, nor did he think about what kind of way of death would be if he rolled down the mountain, but the more he wanted to control it, the more he couldn't help thinking about it.
Maybe it was scratched by a sharp rock, or maybe it was slapped on the huge rock to become a meat pie?
Of course, it is also possible that you will not fall to death, but will be disabled.
This may be even worse than falling to death directly.
He couldn't help but ask himself, "Are you afraid of death?"
Not afraid of all lies.
If you are terrible, you can win and win?
But Jiang Qin did not expect that even in such a remote mountain road, there was a guard post of the cavalry!
"Has they discovered it?"
When Jiang Qin received the reward from the soldiers, he asked anxiously.
Jiang Dongbing said, "I don't know, but it seems that they have nothing unusual..."
When Jiang Qin learned that there were Hussars, he had some concerns and quickly calmed down again.
When we meet on a narrow road, how can we win?
Only fight for life!
I have all walked here, can I go back?
"The only thing to do now!"
"Whether they find it or not, they must rush over!"
"After rushing out, go straight to the Sichuan and Shu Army Water Camp!"
"I will take the lead! Whoever retreats at this time will be killed immediately!"
After a few shouts, Jiang Qin calmed down more and more.
Moreover, Jiang Qin did not bring too many people, which allowed Jiang Qin to command almost every soldier in Jiangdong.
If there are more people, it is a disadvantage. After all, if there are thousands of people, once they are blocked on such a path, let alone command, even walking is a problem. Maybe only a little casualty is needed, or even a 10% casualty is not enough. You may be in chaos, congestion, and trampled on each other, and you will be defeated by a small Sichuan and Shu army.
There are few people and little movement!
Even if the Sichuan and Shu army has a post here, there will not be too many people. Even if the other party finds out that they are coming, what if the alarm is issued? He only needs to raid once and ignite the Sichuan and Shu army water camp before the Sichuan army can fully react. It will be successful!
...
...
『Shooting!』
"Arrows, go and get some more arrows!"
The soldiers in Zhou Yu's naval army shouted loudly, busy and running non-stop.
Arrows whistled in the air and interlaced.
The ships of the Jiangdong Army fought and retreated.
The fleet of Sichuan and Shu Army chased behind.
Zhou Yu stood on the Central Array Tower and watched quietly.
Now, almost no cards are left on both sides...
The rest are all trump cards.
Zhou Yu’s trump card is his familiarity with Jiangshui.
This river is the cornerstone of his fame in one battle!
But it also became the shackles of his life.
Zhou Yu spent his whole life circulating around this river, upstream, downstream, Jiangdong, and north. Even the grand strategy formulated by Zhou Yu is still unfolding and extending along this river.
Success is great, failure...
It is impossible to defeat!
Zhou Yu insisted.
He not only wanted to fight against the Sichuan and Shu army, but also against the illnesses on his own.
The movements of the Sichuan and Sichuan naval army were even beyond Zhou Yu's expectations.
The Sichuan and Shu navy did attack Zhou Yu's mid-range, but they spread the queue very openly, as if they were preparing to push up little by little and win in the end, rather than relying on the raid of the mid-range and killing the generals and winning the flag.
"The Sichuan-Shu Army believes in their soldiers so much?"
Zhou Yu thought about it.
It is not easy to fight this tactic well.
Because on the battlefield, many times the soldiers at the bottom cannot get global information in time, so once they fall into hard battles, they will begin to waver their doubts and think that they have been abandoned...
This requires soldiers to have enough trust in the upper commander!
Zhou Yu has been in Jiangdong for so many years, except for the troops that Zhou Yu can directly command, he dare not say that he can make all other Jiangdong soldiers trust so much...
Because many of the other Jiangdong troops are private soldiers of other generals!
Even if the soldiers covered by these troops were willing to believe Zhou Yu, those generals would not be happy!
In the eyes of other generals, this is like a fucking affair...
However, it is okay for the Sichuan and Shu army to deal with this.
Because the river water flows downward, they will eventually walk into the trap in the river step by step!
Not all water flows in the rivers are smooth and there are turbulent flows!
Although Zhou Yu did not know the definition and theory of the so-called turbulence, he was familiar with this river. He knew that a phenomenon of reflux would form in a certain area of ​​the river!
Only when the ship enters this area can the difference be felt. The speed of the front ship slows down due to the influence of water flow, but the back ship is still at its original speed. The only result is that the Sichuan and Shu army will knead together in a certain area and become a ball!
