Chapter 3179: It’s hard to shoot the arrow back
The moment Zhu Ran rushed out, he had already thought about thousands of thoughts in his mind.
He actually has a chance, and he can return it.
After all, he had already burned a small grain village in Sichuan and Shu army that had been transported by the Sichuan and Shu army, which had achieved certain results and had contacted the Ba people. He could just take the Ba people and Boshan back "righteously". Whether it was Zhu Zhi or Jiangdong, it could be considered as a explanation.
But the problem is that there are not many opportunities in Jiangdong.
This world is not generous. He will not stop and wait for the slow-moving people to catch up.
One step slows down, one step slows down.
If you want to move forward, what if you don’t fight hard?
The mountains are steep and the mountain streams are not deep, but they are also dangerous.
Zhu Ran chose to attack, thinking that he rushed so suddenly. Although the opponent failed to enter the ambush circle, the opponent lacked space to line up on the narrow mountain road!
Even if you accidentally fall down in this kind of place, you will still be half-dead if you don’t die!
Of course, Zhu Ran’s own side also has risks rushing forward.
He asked himself in his mind, "Are you afraid of death?"
Nonsense, of course I'm afraid.
Apart from being stupid and bold, few people are not afraid of death.
But now we meet on a narrow road, how can we win?
The moment when Jiangdong Army rushed out, Yan Yan's team was a little restless, but he quickly calmed down again.
『Leave this mountain stream!』
『Speed ​​up ahead!』
"Leave on the footprints ahead!"
"The two behind, climb onto the rock to snipe the enemy!"
After a few shouts, Yan Yan became more and more calm.
At first, he could not understand Zhuge Liang's request for avoiding the war, but Yan Yan quickly understood.
If the Jiangdong people were defeated from the beginning, then the Ba people would inevitably retreat...
『Your fortune is a big deal…』
Yan Yan asked the soldiers to retreat.
To retreat like a person, you also need to have some skills.
You can neither act too bad nor be too comfortable.
In short, it is necessary to maintain a very subtle degree...
Yan Yan is on the front line personally and has this benefit. According to the situation, the strategy can be adjusted at any time, and the commands are directly passed to the queue without the need for the transmission to run back and forth, delaying the fighter plane.
Of course, this is also the benefit of the small army. Three or four hundred people are the best. Once more than five hundred people, or a thousand people, at least two or three mountains are arranged on the mountain path. When there are attacks in front and casualties, there may be casual chats and fucking in the back.
Of course, Yan Yan knew that it was difficult to fight at the current mountain stream, so he had to leave this area. As long as he could climb to a relatively open area to form a formation, he would not be afraid of the number of Jiangdong troops coming.
『Quick! Quick! Quick!
Possip Poshan was urging the Ba people to run faster, but it was useless.
Because Boshan would only tell others to be quick, he himself was walking down carefully instead of rushing down, just like calling his brothers to come up to me and staying at the end.
Although it is easier for them to go down the mountain, there are many trees and shrubs in the mountains, and the stones are rugged. If they accidentally step on the empty space, they are cut and scratched by the stones, and hit the trees, etc., they are still light. If they can't help but roll into the mountain stream, they will be deleting the number and practicing again...
This is true for Boshan, so these Ba people are the same, rushing down, shouting loudly, but the speed is not very fast.
After finally rushing to the shooting range, Boshan didn't wait for the Ba people to gain a foothold, and screamed to shoot and kill the Yan Yan soldiers who stayed behind and broke the rear.
There are also good hunters among the Ba people. The skills on bows and arrows are actually not bad, but they can't say that they are quick to shoot while running, so there is no accuracy at all.
The Ba people screamed, and the messy arrows roared over, most of them hitting the rocks and trees. Instead, the two men who Yan Yan left behind to cover, opened their bows and fought back, and shot down the two or three Ba ​​people rushing in front.
"Their archers are on the stone! Climb up and kill them!" Boshan shouted again.
Shoot up from below the rock, because of the shooting boundary, the effect is average.
If you shoot, it will be very good. You either shoot the headshot or hit the chest. Even if you don’t die, most of them will be seriously injured. However, the problem is that shooting from bottom to top is easy to shoot at a low target, while shooting from top to bottom can hit the whole body of the target below.
Therefore, Boshan said that people who climbed up instead of shooting against the soldiers left by Yan Yan on the rock was indeed a correct way to deal with it. But the problem is that Boshan did not designate someone or some people to climb, so when the Ba people rushed under the rock, I looked at you, you looked at me, and seemed to be waiting for the other party to climb.
Fortunately, the soldiers from Jiangdong rushed up. Some of them started shooting against Yan Yan's soldiers on the rocks, while others began to take the opportunity to climb, with a clear division of labor...
Zhu Ran also rushed down, and stepped on the air in the middle of the road and fell down. Fortunately, he grabbed the trunk beside him with one hand to stabilize his body.
The guard behind Zhu Ran hurried forward, but was pushed away by Zhu Ran.
Zhu Ran shouted: "Kill up! Catch the living!"
He let go of his hand, and continued to rush forward with the mud stained by the fall.
The information from Baren's mouth may not be true, he must know more.
『Shoot the arrow! Shoot the arrow!』
"Roar up!"
『Swoosh!』
『Ahhhhh…』
A soldier Yan Yan was shooting down the rock and was shot with an arrow on the face. He screamed and fell down, fell into the mountain stream, and then stopped screaming in a muffled sound.
The soldiers Yan Yan left behind were gradually lost and gradually lost.
Yan Yan rushed back with some people and picked up the remaining soldiers.
When Zhu Ran led the large army to come up, Yan Yan had already retreated.
『Win! We won!』
Cheers rang, but Zhu Ran frowned.
"The general is so brave! He killed those guys so hard that he was urinating! Hahaha..." Bo Shan came to Zhu Ran and hurriedly praised him.
"Are you happy?" Zhu Ran said without hesitation, "I'm fighting forward desperately, are you watching me jokes from behind?"
Bo Shan was shocked, "What... what did you say..."
Zhu Ran pointed to the soil on his body, and then pointed to the clean clothes on Boshan's body, "That's what he said..."
"Uh...this..." Boshan's face looked a little embarrassed.
"No next time." Zhu Ran said with a calm face.
"That's nature, that's nature..." Boshan replied.
Zhu Ran snorted and walked away.
The dead soldiers Yan Yan did not leave any useful information to Zhu Ran.
Although Zhu Ran won again this time, some unpleasant feelings arose in Zhu Ran's heart.
This feeling may be due to Yan Yan's ease when he retreated, perhaps because victory came too simply, or perhaps because he suddenly stepped on the empty hand when he rushed down the mountain...
The Ba people laughed and sang and danced around the bonfire. The Ba snakes who praised them once again protected them and won them.
"The God of Ba..." Zhu Ran looked at the joyful appearance of Baren, but felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but wrap his cloak.
The trusted guard came over and said, "Master..."
"Well..." Zhu Ran slanted to the side of Boshan and the Ba people in the distance, whispered, "We may have been trapped..."
The confidant guard was stunned, then followed Zhu Ran's gaze and looked at Bo Shan, and suddenly he looked a little unkind, "What the Lord means is... Is this person a counter-essay?"
Zhu Ran shook his head.
Not everyone can be a spy.
Be bold and meticulous, not surprised by the chaos, and you also need not to be greedy for money and wealth...
And Boshan is obviously not such a person.
This was confirmed when Zhu Ran and Boshan were in contact.
Boshan doesn't seem to be a smart person.
Of course, it may also be Bo Shan pretended to be stupid, but this could be deceived in front of Zhu Ran.
Zhu Ran felt that this Boshan was actually a person who was greedy for money and life. Wasn’t the conflict between the Bo family and Sichuan this time also caused by the interests of wealth?
『I heard...』 Zhu Ran said slowly, 『The cavalry likes to use open conspiracies...』
"Only Conspiracy?" The confidant guard was a little confused.
Zhu Ran nodded and slowly sorted out his thoughts.
As things have developed to this point, Zhu Ran seems to have seen some things clearly, but as he sees them clearly, he feels like he is stuck in a spider web, and the more he struggles, the more he feels uncomfortable.
The trusted guards did not understand, but they followed Zhu Ran's head and everything was done according to Zhu Ran's order.
Zhu Ran was obviously an outstanding general among the second-generation military generals in Jiangdong. Otherwise, he would not have been allowed to defend Jiangling in history and resisted Cao Zhen and Zhang He to jointly attack.
After Zhu Ran met Ba people, the first thing he considered was the question of authenticity.
The person Boshan is real.
Because Boshan was one of the leaders of the Jiangzhou Bo family who traveled to and from Jiangdong.
It is also true that Pohmann has not been doing well during this period.
After Xu Shu entered Sichuan, he was not like those scholars who only understood it. He followed Fei Qian to implement various policies in Sichuan and Shu, including economic measures. After Jinguancheng was fully controlled by Xu Shu, Shu Jin was greatly improved in terms of output and quality, so Shu Jin, a private property like the Bo family, was suppressed.
Although it can be sold, but at this price...
Boshan has complained several times these days.
The key is that the Shu brocade in Jinguan City, Chengdu also has anti-counterfeiting logos, and colorful silk ribbons are mixed in brocade making. Bo has long wanted to imitate it, but not only did he fail to imitate it successfully, but he was arrested by the Chengdu government several times, and was confiscated and fined, losing millions of dollars...
The Bo family and Xu Shu in Sichuan have a grudge, which is not just a matter of one sentence, but is related to the business issues of millions and millions.
This time, the Po family attempted to join Jiangdong, with clear causes and consequences, and clear internal and external difficulties. Even Boshan was saying that if Jiangdong could not win, the Po family would fall.
The conflict between the Ba people and the Sichuan and Shu troops is also true.
Because when Zhu Huan attacked Bashan with the Baihu Ba people, Bashe found the Sichuan and Shu army, but the Sichuan and Shu army obviously did not give the Bashe leader much face, and even some of them pressed the Bashe's face to the ground to rub.
This is indeed a big and serious matter for guys who are used to calling and drinking, five or six people.
What's more, the conflict between the Ba people and the Han people can even be traced back to the founding of the Han people...
The new and old hatreds add up, and the Ba people and Han people make trouble whenever they have disagreements, and Zhu Ran doesn't feel strange at all. Just like between Jiangdong and Shanyue, every time the trouble is made, both sides feel uncomfortable.
It is also true that it is to transfer to grain villages in Sichuan and Sichuan.
From the middle of the river to the fish, one is the waterway and the other is the land transportation.
The waterway must pass through Jiangzhou, so when there is chaos in Jiangzhou, there will be problems with waterway transportation. If Sichuan and Shu want to transport food and grass to fish again, they can only go by land for a period of time. So after Zhu Ran learned the news, he asked people to send letters to Zhu Zhi quickly, and on the other hand, he followed Boshan's guidance to break a small village where the Sichuan and Shu army transferred food.
Zhu Ran did not tell Boshan that in fact, the scouts of the Jiangdong Army of the small village had discovered some traces earlier. He wanted to use this to test the authenticity of Boshan again. As a result, he found that the small village was really full of food and grass, and there was no fraud.
Everything seems to be true, but why does Zhu Ran feel that there is something fake hidden below?
The village was burned, the food and grass were broken, and reinforcements were defeated.
Ba people...
Zhu Ran thought hard and recalled.
From the beginning, he sent news to the rear...
Is it wrong to send the message back?
There is nothing wrong.
No matter what, reporting things encountered on the front line to Zhu Zhi in time is an inevitable choice.
So after reporting, is it wrong to follow Boshan and Ba people to attack the grain villages that were hoarded and transferred in Sichuan and Sichuan?
There is nothing wrong with that either.
After destroying the grain village, is it wrong to intercept and ambush the reinforcements in Sichuan and Sichuan?
There is nothing wrong with that either.
If Zhu Ran chooses again, Zhu Ran will still do the same according to the previous choice.
So what did Zhu Ran do wrong?
Nothing is wrong.
But where does the uneasiness and fear that surge in my heart come from now?
Maybe it's because it's going too well?
But this...
If he withdraws his troops on this basis, he will never want to raise his head again in his life.
Even if he killed Boshan and Ba people in front of him to silence him, it would be useless.
Because he reported the news to Zhu Zhi at the beginning...
Zhu Zhi must have received the news, and he will immediately organize troops and ships to march towards Yu Fu.
Nowadays, Yufu has problems with both water and land grain channels. Isn’t it an excellent opportunity to enter?
Could it be that if Sichuan and Shu pacify Jiangzhou, then fish will reopen the grain channel before marching?
Then once Zhu Zhi marched, Zhu Ran could only do what he originally planned to do-
Attack the fish sideways.
His uncle was attacking head-on, killing him. Could Zhu Ran stand by and watch and remain indifferent?
Or is it now that someone is urgent to send someone to tell Zhu Zhi that Zhu Ran felt that things were going too smoothly and something was wrong, so he asked Zhu Zhi to transfer the army back immediately?
hehe.
The guard asked in a low voice, "What should we do now...?"
Zhu Ran was silent for a long time and finally said softly.
"The arrow is not turned back."
...
...
The river is surging.
The dawn of dawn has not yet completely ripped through the dim night. The river water is already rumbling with war drums and flags.
The huge fleet of the Jiangdong Army, with its boats connected to each other at the head and tail, and was like a giant dragon on the turbulent river surface.
The hull is huge in size and majestic in shape.
The fighting ship was fierce and swaying.
The boats come and go flexibly and travel freely.
Zhu Zhi stood on the flagship, standing in the wind with the railings. As the general of the army, in one word, there are thousands of people coming to see. This is his glory, but it is also his responsibility.
Again, it is a huge pressure.
Zhu Zhi's eyes turned to the Jiangdong boats around him.
On the boat, the soldiers from Jiangdong all looked solemn. Some of these soldiers from Jiangdong were veterans who had experienced many wars, and some new recruits who had just started the battle this time, but they all knew that this battle might determine the direction of Jiangdong and their personal future battle.
What they have to face is not only the enemy's swords and guns, but also the steep terrain and dangerous people's hearts.
After receiving the news from Zhu Ran, Zhu Zhi also thought about it for a long time.
Many people in later generations felt that the time, place and people were right, and the three leaders got one of them, and then they were three-legged tripods, but they were actually taken to the ditch by Mr. Luo...
The Yangtze River is indeed a barrier to the Eastern Wu, but it is not an absolute advantage.
If we truly talk about "local advantage", there is no doubt that Sichuan and Shu can be called the best.
Jiangdong, that's the same thing.
After all, the difficulty of Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky, which is recognized by all dynasties.
As we all know, the terrain of China as a whole shows a pattern of high northwest and low southeast, which makes the northwest direction geographically have the advantage of natural suppression over the southwest direction.
Historically, Shu was located in the southwest region, while Dongwu was located in the southeast region. After Wei occupied the north, it had strong suppression on the south. Even Zhuge Liang made several northern expeditions, it was difficult to recover such a huge geographical disadvantage. So where did the "local advantage" come from in Jiangdong?
This geographical difference makes the Eastern Wu’s disadvantage in military defense particularly prominent.
Faced with the powerful Wei State, Shu State had two defense lines of the Qinba Mountains as natural barriers. Even if the first defense line was lost, the Qinling Mountains and Hanzhong, Shu State also had the Daba Mountain defense line centered on Jianmen Pass as the final defense.
In contrast, Dongwu lacked such a strong barrier.
There is only one river in Dongwu, and once it is broken, there will be even a lack of strategic buffering.
The development of Jiangnan was something that happened after the Jin Dynasty. In the current Jiangdong area, it is still a gathering place for the countryside in the eyes of the Han people.
Therefore, although the Eastern Wu has a natural danger in the Yangtze River, it has no use. He even dared to attack the North when Guan Yu was expeditioning the north and the rear was empty. After barely conquering the Jingzhou area, although the defense line in the western part of the Eastern Wu reached the mouth of the Three Gorges Gorges of the Yangtze River, and the defense line was intact, it was already exhausted. On the other hand, the Wei State had already broken through the Huai River defense line, Xiangyang and Hefei, two knives hung above the Yangtze River, confronting the Eastern Wu in the Jianghan and Jianghuai areas. The Jiangbei defense depth of the Eastern Wu was compressed to extremely narrow, and the Wei State could directly threaten the core areas of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the Dongwu. In this situation, the Eastern Wu could only resist without the power to fight back.
In addition, there is another huge problem in Jiangdong that has never been solved, that is, the great name.
Whether it is history or present.
Needless to say, Lao Cao's political status is also a real general of the cavalry, the Marquis of Pingyang, and the Secretary of the Western Jing. The two heroes in the north are many times better than the general of Sun Quan, Jiangdong, in terms of military and civil affairs.
Zhu Zhi is an old man from Jiangdong, and he is well aware of the shortcomings of Jiangdong.
This time, it was Jiangdong that was put on the bet of "national destiny".
Only if you win will you have the chance to win the Central Plains. If you lose, you will have to be inferior to others.
So after Zhou Yu dragged his sick body to have a long conversation, even though there were some conflicts and uneven distribution of interests, Zhu Zhi also half-spoken. This is the reason.
Zhou Yu's illness seems to be unable to be delayed.
So what about Jiangdong?
Jiangdong can't afford to delay either.
Even Zhu Zhi himself couldn't afford to delay.
Therefore, when Zhu Zhi got the news conveyed by Zhu Ran, and with his own channels for obtaining the news, he confirmed it twice and found that some problems did occur within Sichuan and Sichuan, he resolutely set up his troops to fight.
Although there are still doubts and realize that there are risks, Zhu Zhi can only do this.
He has no better choice.
Even if he knew that what he had to face would be a very dangerous situation...
"The arrow is not turned back."
Just like Jiangdong, there is no better choice...
Of course, Zhu Zhi inevitably imagined in his heart that even if he lost, he could have Jiangling's guarantee.
But will things in the world really be as he expected?
Chapter completed!
