In fact, the two tower ships of Xu Huang's former army, including one tower ship of the Chinese army, should not have been lost. Because Jiangdong's attack methods were not very outrageous, and they were not necessarily so novel. Even the Sichuan-Shu Army had done nothing in the previous battle.
During the training, we also conducted relevant drills on the method of ramming and burning the enemy, but we suffered one after another losses during the battle.
Just like later generations faced the losses of tactics such as the combination of infantry and artillery, or the seven-day offensive.
I know it is very simple, but it is a loss. Whose fault is it?
Is it the soldier's fault?
How long has it been since the Sichuan-Sichuan Navy became an army? Is it possible that some simple-minded people really think that becoming an army means being elite? Just like those people from the Guo Party in later generations who thought that they had American weapons and German weapons.
It's like a powerful military force in the world.
So is it Xu Huang's fault?
If all the merits cannot be attributed to the generals, then all the blame cannot be attributed to the generals. Otherwise, it is a double standard.
All things are integrated and multifaceted.
Jiangdong's tactics are not good-looking at all, and they are not as graceful as Yufan Lunjin. They even cost the lives of many Jiangdong soldiers who were charged with pigs on board. But just like that, the Sichuan-Sichuan navy, which was not skilled enough, was caught off guard.
, exposed the fact that the Sichuan and Sichuan naval forces lacked foundation.
Xu Huang's problem was that he did not calmly weigh things, but was hijacked by the impatience and arrogance of the Sichuan-Shu navy.
He once thought he could win, but in fact he was not as clear-minded and calm as Zhuge Liang, the bystander, and knew that the Jiangdong navy had not completely collapsed and still had the strength to resist.
No matter which dynasty it is, there are inevitably some people who win a few battles and think that I am the best in the world, clamoring about who else is there. After losing a few battles, they immediately curse, as if they are being ridiculed by a big man.
Round after round, in the final analysis, it is still because the mind is not mature enough and stable enough.
Everyone knows the truth of not being arrogant in victory and not being discouraged in defeat. Unfortunately, there are only a few people who can actually do it.
It is absolutely impossible for a large and powerful army to have only one powerful leader, nor can it be invincible just by relying on this leader.
Xu Huang is undoubtedly a lion, but the Sichuan-Sichuan navy has not completely evolved from sheep to lion.
A group of sheep led by a lion may have some changes in momentum, but in the end they are still sheep. Once they see blood, the unevolved sheep will still show their sheep characteristics.
The Sichuan-Shu navy army commanded by Xu Huang was to some extent a mixture of lions and sheep. When the Jiangdong soldiers made a desperate counterattack, the lions were not afraid, but there were sheep around them that were holding them back. When they retreated, the lions were still there.
Fighting, preparing to fight and retreating, but the sheep escaped first.
This disharmony was magnified when Jiang Dongbing launched a desperate counterattack, and even affected other semi-finished products and began to turn into sheep.
They only knew how to bleat and completely forgot about the previous training routines and cooperation between them.
It wasn't until Xu Huang stepped forward and used his calmness and command that the Sichuan-Sichuan navy stopped degenerating and retreated in an orderly manner.
When Xu Huang withdrew, the sun had already tilted to the west, so for Jiangdong's army, they were chasing under the dazzling sunlight. The sunlight not only shone on their faces and bodies, but also splashed on the water.
The reflected sparkling light also swayed in the eyes of Jiangdong's pursuers.
The Jiangdong soldiers on the boat rowed hard, making what may be the last sprint in their lives. The boat cut through the waves like flying fish and slid flexibly on the water.
There must be a brave man under a heavy reward.
Jiang Qin and Lu Xun's reward and punishment strategy was undoubtedly relatively successful. Their luck was that Jiang Dong's credibility, or that the credibility of Jiang Qin and Lu Xun had not been corrupted, so these Jiang Dong soldiers "believed" it.
Of course, if the promised reward cannot be fulfilled this time, then there will naturally be no next time.
As the distance between the two sides shortened, arrow rain began to interweave between the two armies, and the sharp arrows whizzed past with a deadly threat.
Suddenly, a Jiangdong soldier on board the Sichuan-Shu Army warship discovered that someone seemed to be operating something, and seemed to be aiming at them...
Before Jiang Dongbing on the walking wheel could react, he saw a dark object draw an arc in the air and nailed to the top of the walking wheel with a "dong" sound.
"What is that?!" Jiang Dongbing shouted, instinctively sensing something was wrong, "Get it down!"
A Jiangdong soldier straightened up, stretched out his oar, and slapped the Tribulus Fire Thunder that was nailed to the roof, but surprisingly found that it didn't move at all!
Jiang Dongbing wanted to tap it harder to knock it off, but it was too late...
"boom!"
The fire caused by the explosion flashed suddenly, even stealing the spotlight from the sun in the sky.
Broken iron pieces and sawdust flew everywhere, and the instantaneous high temperature ignited the kerosene accumulated in the cabin of the walker. Then a secondary explosion occurred in the next moment and swept through the surrounding area, sucking in several nearby walkers and burying them together.
In the flames, a larger scale of splashing and burning formed, covering almost half of the river in an instant!
The flames rose into the sky along with the black smoke. The dazzling light and scorching heat swept through the surrounding waters. The thick smoke billowed, covering the sky and the sun. Even some of the air on the river was distorted, and the black smoke swayed.
It's like the god of death is grinning in it.
"What's this?!"
Jiang Qin, who was in the rear, asked similar questions to Lu Xun almost at the same time.
At the beginning, Jiang Qin and Lu Xun could not help but think that it was the power of Sichuan and Shu's new weapons, but he soon understood that the bigger reason was not a single caltrop fire thunder, but the weapon originally intended to be carried by Zuke Ke.
The kerosene used to burn the ships of the Sichuan-Sichuan Navy.
On the ship that was engulfed in flames, no soldier from Jiangdong was spared. Even if someone jumped into the water with flames, they could not get the attention of the God of Luck.
Under the scorching flames, the structure of the ship began to be damaged, the planks crackled under the high temperature, and the hull gradually lost stability, deformed, damaged, and collapsed.
Jiangdong Zou Ke, who was lucky enough not to be swallowed up by the flames, subconsciously either turned the ship to avoid the flames, or stopped pursuing it. No matter what these Zou Ke chose, they all lost the chance to continue the pursuit...
Zou Ke is like a dagger, very flexible when fighting in close quarters, and its attacks are sharp.
However, after a certain distance was reached, Zou Ke lost its maximum attack power.
The explosion spread flames everywhere, basically cutting off Jiangdong's pursuit route.
As the river flows, the fire oil is still spreading and drifting, so they either have to go around to the north bank of the river, or they have to give up the pursuit.
Jiang Qin could only order the withdrawal of troops, and also sent out intercepting boats to block the burning wreckage such as kerosene with bamboo nets to prevent the water fortress from igniting.
It was also difficult for Xu Huang's side to cross the large area of kerosene flames on the river to attack the Jiangdong Army. Moreover, the shortcomings shown by the Sichuan-Shu Navy Army in this battle also made Xu Huang understand that these guys still have many shortcomings.
Forcibly attacking is not a good choice. As the saying goes, "fight to support war", the key point is "support". If you cannot "support", you will naturally not be able to "fight".
"Withdraw the troops." When Lu Xun met Jiang Qin, his first words were so direct and calm.
Jiang Qin's expression was not very good, "Withdraw the troops? We won the battle!"
Lu Xun nodded, "That's why we can withdraw our troops."
Jiang Qin was not angry because he knew what Lu Xun said was true.
Even if Jiang Qin was unwilling, he could not change this fact.
Xu Huang damaged most of the front army and a small part of the central army, losing more than a quarter of its strength, but the overall combat strength still existed. The blind optimism among the Sichuan-Sichuan navy dissipated.
, from this perspective, it may not be a bad thing.
On the other side, Jiang Qin paid the price of serious injuries, severe disability of his troops, high rewards, etc., and achieved a certain effect, but it was far from the battle loss line of the Sichuan-Shu navy that he and Lu Xun had planned to achieve before.
There is still a gap, which may not be a good thing either.
To say that he succeeded is indeed a success. After all, he became one of the few generals in the Jiangdong Army who successfully intercepted the approaching Sichuan-Sichuan navy. But from another aspect, he also failed, because he also
In the course of this battle, he lost the power to stop the Sichuan-Shu navy again, both personally and as a unit.
"Withdraw your troops now," Lu Xun said calmly, "This will save you and me from the responsibility. If we wait... I'm afraid it will be difficult to do well."
Jiang Qin frowned and said, "Will the Sichuan-Shu army come again?"
Lu Xun looked far to the west of the Yangtze River and sighed slightly, "If Sun and Cao can still join forces, then...and now, Governor Zhu...since Fei Husband has the opportunity to sweep the world, how can he stop there?"
Yi Dao?"
Jiang Qin took a deep breath and seemed to have touched the injured area. He couldn't help but press it slightly with his hand, "So, there is no hope of improvement?"
Lu Xun whispered: "It's unnecessary."
After pausing for a moment, he added one after another, "Even so, the turning point is not here, but in Jiangling. Therefore, Mr. Jiang, please order the withdrawal. Burn all the supplies that cannot be taken away and raze this place to the ground."
, it can be regarded as clearing the country for Jiangdong..."
Jiang Qin turned around and looked at the remaining flames and battleship wreckage on the river, as well as the corpses rising and falling on the river, and was silent for a long, long time.
Lu Xun stood quietly beside Jiang Qin, not urging him.
After a long time, Jiang Qin said hoarsely: "Send the order to withdraw the troops."
After spitting out the last word, Jiang Qin seemed to have lost all his strength. Even his body stooped, lowered his head, and turned around to leave.
Lu Xun bowed to Jiang Qin's back and fell to the ground.
…
…
Jiang Qin used most of his troops to gain a short-term victory.
A victory filled with human life can be considered a kind of victory.
If someone still remembers these sacrificed soldiers, then these sacrifices are naturally valuable.
??????55.??????
It's just a pity that in most feudal dynasties, the memory of the sacrifices of soldiers or the casualties of the people at the bottom is extremely short, and they are even deliberately obliterated and forgotten, leaving only in the history.
Just a few words in it.
The same is true for Jiangdong.
According to usual customs, summer should be the time for the Jiangdong nobles to enjoy the cool air, admire the moon, watch singing, dancing and drink fine wine. But now, or this year, Wu County in Jiangdong shows some heaviness and dilapidation inside and out.
.
Because there are fewer lights, the moss in front of the doors and on the walls of those large mansions with high gates and deep alleys looks like moldy scars or torn wounds in the darkness.
Bleeding flowed.
Some of the bluestones on the main streets in Wujun City were worn out, but no one had come to repair them. As a result, they became more and more sunken. People familiar with the local area knew that there was a pothole there, so they took a step ahead to repair it.
I have avoided it, but people from outside will inevitably suffer in this pit and be stained with dirt and mud.
No one clears the drainage outlets in the culverts in time, and many places are blocked. As long as it rains a little, the sludge and dirty water in these culverts will surge out and flow freely on the streets. After the weather clears,
Under exposure to the sun, it turns into filth and odor that is difficult to wash away, contaminating it everywhere, making people smell bad wherever they go.
In fact, since Sun Quan insisted on the Western Expedition and opened up battlefields, no one has taken care of these people's livelihood affairs that should have been handled.
On the one hand, it is for military affairs, mobilizing soldiers to work, food, grass and luggage. There are countless things to deal with every day. Officials who belong to Sun Quan's faction or are close to the Sun family are all very busy. For these relatively small things
Naturally, there is no time for others to take care of people's livelihood affairs.
On the other hand, the faction that opposes the war is also extremely busy. Busy in secret connections, busy in private dealings, busy in hiding and transferring assets, and equally busy in pretending to be busy...
"Everything is based on the overall situation of Jiangdong!"
People from both groups chanted the same slogans every day and were in the same official house.
"Everything obeys the Lord's will!"
Both groups looked like they were fighting tooth and nail for Jiangdong Jiye's car.
"Everything is for the future of Koto!"
The two groups spoke in unison, and even the height of their arms raised seemed to be the same, without any difference.
Only he himself knows who belongs to which faction. On the surface, they are all the same. They are all from the Jiangdong lineage, officials of the Sun family, and people of the Han Dynasty.
Under such circumstances, some potholes and dirt have long been ignored by these two groups of people. As for the lives of ordinary people affected by these potholes and dirt, it is naturally not a problem.
At least it's not the "big thing" they want to solve now...
As long as the people of Jiangdong are not unable to survive, do not besiege official houses, and do not have groups inciting and killing officials in rebellion, then it is not a big deal.
In fact, in the Jiangdong area, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion of the Han Dynasty began, due to the relatively safe environment, many people fled here to avoid disasters, and naturally they brought some flowers, plants, gold, silver and jewelry.
At that time, Jiangdong was bustling with lights and feasting.
Later, Jiangdong also traded with Fei Qian's caravans up and down the Yangtze River. The silks from Sichuan and Shu and the spices from the Western Regions greatly enriched the barren luxury goods market of the Jiangdong gentry, making the lives of the Jiangdong gentry truly colorful.
.
These prosperity have nothing to do with the original indigenous people of Jiangdong.
But no matter how bad a place is, there are some people who are trying to make it better.
In the long history, there are always some characters who are like stars in the night sky. Although they are in darkness, they still try to shine and try to dispel the surrounding haze. They may be misunderstood, ridiculed, or even labeled as "bad good people"
”, the label of “Fake Virgin”, but in their hearts, they always carry a persistent pursuit of beauty.
Lu Su and Zhou Yu are such people.
Lu Su went north to Jiangling in order to save the broken alliance between Sun and Cao. His actions were to light a weak lamp in the coming storm, trying to illuminate the way forward for Jiangdong. But facing the outside world
Although questioned and ridiculed, Lu Su always maintained a firm belief. He believed that his choice could bring a little breathing space to Jiangdong and ultimately bring about the dawn of victory.
Zhou Yu, on the other hand, was trying to save the Jiangdong regime that was on the verge of destruction. He vowed to protect the Sun family's foundation for Sun Ce.
This promise was like a heavy mountain, weighing on his shoulders.
In order to save Jiangdong from his impending misfortune, Zhou Yu had to drag his sick body to carry out this journey and pick up the burden that he should have put down again, just like the remaining wax igniting the flame on his head.
Although Jiangdong officials have sealed off specific information related to the war, and the news released to the public is always full of words such as cautious optimism, the people of Jiangdong have seen the true impact of the war on them from the scarce and scarce market during the day.
side.
The war is not over yet, so even those Jiangdong soldiers who went out to battle, even if they were killed, are not counted as "real" deaths, and it is not time to pay pensions.
It is said that Mr. Sun is already making the coin template of "Daquan Dangtwen", oh, "Daquan Dangtwen".
Of course, when it was actually released, it might have become "Daquan Dangba", or even "Dangwei", "Dangbai"...
Not only that, there are also rumors that Sun Quan and the Jiangdong gentry families have fallen out again. This time, the additional ships and grain and grass were stolen by Sun Quan from these gentry families...
"I will enter the camp tomorrow and set off for the march the day after tomorrow."
Zhou Yu whispered, his voice steady.
But Xiao Qiao's hand on the opposite side shook and broke the strings.
Xiao Qiao raised her head and looked at her husband in front of her. Although she had had this premonition before, when Zhou Yu said it herself, she still felt waves of heart palpitations, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Zhou Yu sat there, looking up at the sky slightly, and then sighed, "From the time I knew you, you often played this piece wrong... Shang Wei changed it to the horn sound, not the feather sound..."
』
"Why? Husband, your body has never recovered..." Xiao Qiao said blankly, "Why? Can't you let others go? Governor Huang, Governor Zhu, Governor Cheng..."
Zhou Yu still said calmly: "On the second shelf on the left hand side of my study room, there is the detailed music score of this piece. You can go and take a look when you have time."
"Husband, you were exposed to the river wind last time, and you got sick and haven't recovered yet. Now if you go again..." Xiao Qiao looked worried, "If it doesn't work, I have to wait until my husband is well... I
Go find a doctor, I will go find the best doctor now!"
Zhou Yu grabbed Xiao Qiao.
Xiao Qiao finally shed tears, fell to her knees, hugged Zhou Yu's waist and burst into tears.
After a while, Zhou Yu patted Xiao Qiao's shoulder and said, "Just play another song for me."
Xiao Qiao straightened up and looked at Zhou Yu with tearful eyes. She suddenly realized that Zhou Yu had already had long hair, and wrinkles had quietly appeared on his originally handsome face. She had been beautifying Zhou Yu in her memory before, but now she
I discovered that Zhou Yu no longer looked the same as before.
"Husband..." Xiao Qiao couldn't help but shed tears again.
Zhou Yu smiled, his gentle demeanor still the same as before, "Just play the phoenix in the head to pray for the phoenix."
"good."
Xiao Qiao wiped her tears, hung up the strings again, tuned them, took a breath, calmed down a little, then slid her hands on the strings, and the soft sound of the piano drifted with the wind...
Zhou Yu listened quietly and watched intently, as if he wanted to keep all the colors and sounds in front of him deep in his heart, deep in his life, even though Xiao Qiao played the wrong ball again due to emotional instability.
Note, he didn't speak, just listened and watched with a gentle smile.
Zhou Yu recalled the first time he saw Xiao Qiao playing the piano. He really played outrageously. This "outrageous" is not an adjective, but a "verb", so that Zhou Yu couldn't help but think about such a lovely person.
How could he ruin that poor piano like this?
So, he went up to teach...
So, so many years passed.
Time flies like an arrow, and the arrows all pierce my heart.
The sun and moon fly by, and Haloxylon ammodendron penetrates the liver and intestines.
At the end of the song, Zhou Yu touched his palms and praised, "Well played."
Zhou Yu's eyes are gentle and he smiles. After all, I can't teach you anymore...
Xiao Qiao was happy and then sad, "Husband!"
Zhou Yu stood up and held Xiao Qiao's shoulders, "Okay, it's time for me to leave... Tomorrow, my lord will pay homage to the general and give troops, so it's best not to be late..."
"Husband!" Xiao Qiao held Zhou Yu's hand tightly.
"Don't worry." Zhou Yu said with a smile, "I have made arrangements. Everything is arranged."
Xiao Qiao stared at Zhou Yu closely, as if Zhou Yu would disappear in the next moment, "Husband! You have to come back... Husband, you must come back! Promise me, you will come back!"
"Well..." Zhou Yu blinked, smiled and nodded, "Okay, come back. Just wait until I come back and listen to you play the piano again."
Xiao Qiao seemed to feel more relieved now and slowly let go of his hand.
Zhou Yu slowly took out his hand, "There's no need to give it away...Looking at your face, you're crying. It's not good for others to see. After I leave, I have to take more care of myself."
"Husband!" Xiao Qiao shed tears again.
Zhou Yu waved his hands, then turned and left.
"Husband!" Xiao Qiao followed after a few steps, leaned against the courtyard door, and looked at Zhou Yu's leaving figure, "Husband, you must come back! I will never make the wrong mistake next time!"
Zhou Yu seemed to hear it, so he raised his hand, waved it in the air, and then drifted away.
