The sirens in Xu Huang's camp sounded almost as soon as the rocket appeared.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Pick up your weapons! Prepare to face the enemy!"
The military academy on duty shouted loudly.
Although some Sichuan and Sichuan soldiers were a little panicked, they quickly got out of their tents and lined up in armor under the instructions of the military academy.
Among the soldiers in the camp, Xu Huang did not take off his armor at all, but only loosened his silk ribbon, and then half-lyed and half-reclined to rest.
This is the normal situation for generals in war. Although they have guards and duties, many times good generals are not thinking about how to enjoy themselves or rest at all. Instead, they need constant persuasion from their guards before they can rest for a while.
Xu Huang was like this, and Zhuge Liang was like this too.
There was no rest at night. Even if I closed my eyes, my mind was still thinking about the battle situation.
Xu Huang heard the warning sound and opened his eyes without waiting for the guard to remind him. After confirming that he was not hallucinating in his sleep, he grabbed the bag beside him and clasped it on his head. He stood up and tightened his armor.
of silk ribbon, and walked out.
"Set the flag! Beat the drums!"
Xu Huang ordered in a deep voice.
The guard immediately responded and left.
When the flag was raised, the whole camp immediately felt at ease.
From time to time, a military academy would come to report the situation to Xu Huang and ask for instructions.
Xu Huang also dealt with it immediately without any delay, and he didn't get up in the middle of a sleep and then get disturbed.
As the saying goes, the less capable a person is, the bigger his temper will be, and there may be some truth to that. A big temper does not mean that he or she is powerful, but rather that he or she will get angry because he cannot solve the difficulties in front of him.
However, when the hussars lined up to fight, they found that Jiangdong Army had no follow-up actions...
Xu Huang frowned, turned around and climbed onto the high platform. Looking around, he suddenly screamed!
The flames spread in the grass, and gradually moved towards the camp with the night wind!
"Get ready to put out the fire!"
Xu Huang pointed in the direction of the burned grass and shouted to his soldiers.
…
…
In Jiangdong Water Village, Zhou Yu also had trouble sleeping.
Zhou Yu's body was already weak, and coupled with his deep worries and his inability to have a good rest every day, it became a vicious cycle, making it even more difficult to recover.
Zhou Yu himself knew this.
But there was nothing he could do unless he let go of all his obsessions.
The reason why obsession is called obsession is that you pick it up and can't put it down.
When Zhuge Liang's technique of using water cans along the water arrived at Jiangdong Water Village, some Jiangdong soldiers discovered something was wrong, but unlike the Sichuan and Shu troops, they did not immediately raise the alarm.
Perhaps because there was no open flame, the sound of the earthen jars flowing down from the top and the crackling sound on the water fence outside the water village did not immediately alert these Jiangdong soldiers.
Even though some people suffered this attack last time...
The so-called ability to not be knocked down twice by the same move is not unique to Saint Seiyas, but to the level of elementary school students of later generations.
As all primary school students know, you cannot make the same mistake again and again for the same type of question.
It's just that many times, some people are worse than primary school students.
Jiangdong does not have any special cultural heritage or experience, so the lessons learned from the last battle cannot be used as nutrients for growth in the next battle.
It was only when the second wave of earthen jars swayed down with some open flames that Jiangdong soldiers felt something was wrong.
"What are those?"
"Stop! Stop those things!"
"Come on, people! Don't let those fires get close!"
There is nothing wrong with what I shouted, but what is wrong is that it has no direction.
It’s like shouting for help on the street. It’s impossible to say that passers-by don’t know what to do if they want to save someone. After all, not everyone can be Conan. Seeing blood, death and injury is as common as seeing classmates and teachers every day, so direction is needed.
instructions so that others can know what to do.
Jiang Dongbing shouted in a circle, but few people moved. Before his eyes, he saw those open fire jars igniting the kerosene on the water fence, and then the flames spread on the water and rose into the sky!
…
…
Water overcomes fire.
"Open the gate quickly!"
"Draw the water from the river!"
The floodgates were opened.
The river water flows gurgling along the trench which is not deep!
A group of soldiers in the camp were running along with the current.
If you see a place where the water flow is blocked by some rocks and soil, someone will immediately jump into the ditch and dig out the places blocking the water!
A good habit is difficult to develop, but a bad habit can often destroy something within a few days...
Xu Huang's camp on land, even if it is a temporary camp and he will not live here permanently, but all the details are not spared.
There is a special "method" in the martial arts hall for choosing a camp, which is called the "lower camp method".
Fei Qian did not deliberately come up with any numbers of seven, eight or nine to show that "battalion" has several ways of writing. He just divided it according to time and purpose, including temporary camps during short-term marches, and medium and long-term garrison that may require more than a month.
The army and the stronghold are all involved.
For short-term stays, you can choose from four options: standing gun, holding gun, car camp, and horse-fighting.
When stationed for a medium to long term, you can choose to build a firewood camp, dig a camp, build a camp, etc.
As for the layout of the camp, it generally has a conventional configuration, and then some additional defenses are added as needed.
This martial arts hall's "lower camp method" will even be distributed to the captain level, and after the captain gets the martial arts hall's residence report, many middle and lower-level officers will come to borrow it, so some in Shandong are based on military knowledge.
People at the promoted level are deeply disgusted by Fei Qian's behavior and feel that their personality has been insulted by Fei Qian.
These people from Shandong vowed to let their children and grandchildren carry forward the spirit of Yu Gong. Once they regain the power of education, they will do their best to delete, cut and adjust these knowledge systems, and call it "optimization"
』, the purpose is very simple...
Therefore, after the Song Dynasty, in the dynasties where Confucianism flourished, ordinary people could not even think about "enlightenment" if they did not have teachers to teach them!
Making the people stupid is of course conducive to governance, but when encountering emergencies, if you have knowledge and ability, you will naturally have more ways to deal with danger, instead of just screaming in place.
Xu Huang's camp, in accordance with the requirements of the camp law standards, has camp gates, wooden fences, and trenches and earthen walls. Although it cannot be as strong as a permanent military camp, it is still there.
Of course, the war will definitely not allow the other side to wait for the camp to be set up before starting the battle, so normally, building and strengthening the camp while fighting has become a conventional option.
However, if all knowledge and ability are in the hands of the upper-level, then once the upper-level generals make any negligence, the consequences will be devastating. For example, although some generals understand, they are immersed in the battle situation.
, I forgot about the daily extra mission of building a camp, and then I didn’t remember it until the other party made a sneak attack...
Of course, it is impossible to build a stable military camp in Xu Huang's camp in an instant, but all the infrastructure is being built, and soldiers who are not on the battlefield that day will be assigned some such work.
Therefore, there are trenches around Xu Huang's camp, but they were not completely completed, so the water gates have not yet let in the water, and now we are watching the flames from the distant grasslands gradually spreading into the camp. The simplest and easiest way is to
The effective way is of course not to rush out and use some gravel or wooden rakes to beat the clothes, but to directly divert the river water into the trench to isolate the flames. And if something in the camp is really ignited by sparks, it can be easily
Easy access to water to put out fires.
…
…
On the other side, water is fueling the fire.
The reason why water can help fire is that oil is lighter than water, and the reason why it can be lighter than water is that Fei Qian generally knows some principles of refining crude oil. Although Fei Qian does not understand it very well, let alone master it, but it doesn't matter.
As long as Feiqian knows the direction, his people can do the right thing.
Crude oil has a relatively high ignition point and is relatively heavy, but after refining, kerosene can float on the water.
This caused some ignorant Jiangdong soldiers to panic, thinking that the entire river was on fire!
"The river is burning!"
"Sorcery! Sorcery!"
"They have the Celestial Master's Dharma! They are practicing it today!"
"There are innocent souls under the river! There are innocent souls!"
The reason why Zhang Jiao's Taiping Road was able to develop rapidly was that, in addition to the stupid and corrupt imperial court, the corruption of local officials, and the exploitation of the common people, this primitive belief was still very common, especially the Five Directions Catholic Church in Jiangdong, which almost squeezed out foreigners.
Buddhism has a lot of living space, which makes many people in Jiangdong believe in Taoism.
Buddhism emphasizes rebirth, emptiness, destruction, and reincarnation. However, the Five Directions God Religion, which has been improved by Fei Qian and Zuo Ci, does not compete with Buddhism for "emptiness", but seeks "reality", from birth to rebirth.
Entering the world is an important change in the Five Directions Catholic Church.
This change caused many Jiangdong people to immediately change their "beliefs" and become "believers" under the Five Directions God Religion.
It's very simple, the old man at home is sick.
When I went to Buddhism, the bald man said, this is karma, retribution, and original sin. You have to see through the world of mortals and understand that white is emptiness. If you let go of everything, you will naturally have no pain. Ami Tofu...
Then he went to the Five Directions God Sect and Changmao said, "This is a disease. I have some herbs here. Take them. I'm not sure how effective they will be. The most important thing is to replenish the middle qi and dispel the evil qi. Don't let the old man be too tired..."
So, which one are people more willing to believe?
Of course, most of these "believers" should be shallow believers, or even trading beliefs, but this does not hinder the development of the Five Directions God Sect in Jiangdong, the entire Han Dynasty, and even in the outer regions.
The more you develop, sometimes some unexpected effects will appear.
Some people in Jiangdong know that their Five Directions Catholicism came from Guanzhong and from the Hussar, so when they go to fight the Hussar, they feel a little knotty in their hearts. This emotion is generally not too obvious, but in
Under the current situation that they couldn't understand, it broke out.
The most critical point is of course Jiangdong's methods of fooling the people. Although Jiangdong did not intentionally make the common people's soldiers stupid, the Han Dynasty's long-standing practice has also made many Jiangdong gentry children and generals like to see the stupidity of the common people's soldiers, and even treat them as after-dinner meals.
jokes.
Now these generals couldn't laugh anymore. When they were shouting to put out the fire and stop the fire oil, indicating that it was just ordinary fire, some Jiangdong soldiers were shouting "demon fire"...
…
…
Zhuge Liang calculated correctly, but he also calculated wrongly.
He predicted that Zhou Yu would come for a sneak attack, but he did not expect that Zhou Yu did not walk out of the water, but used the grass outside the camp to set fire...
If it weren't for the Hussars' military regulations and if it weren't for Xu Huang's more cautious character at the moment, it's hard to say that the camp would have been burned and destroyed more or less.
After daybreak, black smoke filled the air, and the flames burned out everything that could be burned. When they gradually extinguished, everyone looked at the embers on the field in the distance with lingering fear.
There are losses, but they are not big.
Soldiers in the camp are sorting out their belongings.
Zhuge Liang and Xu Huang stood on the high platform and looked into the distance.
"It's just Liang's fault." Zhuge Liang sighed, "I didn't expect this... I was negligent!"
Xu Huang waved his hand, "Why should Kong Ming blame himself? There are many reeds on both sides of the river. We see them every day and think they are ordinary things..."
The weeds along the river are relatively luxuriant due to geography. After all, the silt carried by the river gives these thatches a lot of nutrients, and because areas along the river are similar to swamps, there are few large-scale herbivores.
Animals come to look for food, so that these reeds can grow almost unchecked.
These things may seem a bit surprising and strange at first, but as they are everywhere along the river, you will naturally not pay special attention to them, and your brain will even subconsciously exclude these things from the items you think about.
outside.
Just like piles of sand, everyone is familiar with them. Who would have thought that piles of sand can kill people?
It is possible under certain conditions.
Everyone knows that sand cannot be piled high. Once it is piled high, it will inevitably collapse. However, high piles of sand can often be seen in construction sites, and sometimes the sand is not piled in the open space, but for convenience.
The management was piled up against a simple wall outside the construction site. Then, one day it rained, and the weight of the sand absorbing water increased greatly. The wall fell down, burying people who happened to pass by...
The same was true when Xu Huang and Zhuge Liang set up camp here.
I originally thought it would be convenient to use this thatch here, but I didn’t expect that this thatch can also kill people!
If the trenches hadn't been dug...
Even a half-dug trench that is not too deep can serve as a fire break and save the camp from a fire.
"But..." Zhuge Liang frowned and thought, "Should we take this opportunity to fake defeat and retreat?"
"Fake defeat?"
Xu Huang repeated.
Zhuge Liang nodded.
…
…
Zhou Yu's calculation was correct, but he was also wrong.
For Zhou Yu, he was familiar with the geographical environment up and down the river, but he was not familiar with what was going on in the heads of his ordinary soldiers from the east of the Yangtze River.
He dispatched Jiang Qin, which indeed ensured the success rate of the sneak attack. However, due to the lack of Jiang Qin's link in the main camp, there were some obstacles in the operation at the critical moment.
Although Zhou Yu noticed something was wrong almost immediately, and then dispatched his own bodyguards to act as front-line commanders and coordinators, these Zhou Yu's bodyguard soldiers were separated by a layer after all and were not so smooth.
The water fence did block most of the oil tanks flowing down from above.
However, blocking the can does not mean that the kerosene has also been blocked.
By the time Zhou Yu ordered the use of denser fishing nets to intercept the kerosene, some boats outside the water village had already been contaminated with a lot of kerosene and were set alight.
Fortunately, Zhou Yu immediately ordered to abandon the ship and push the ignited hull out, otherwise the connected hulls would ignite each other...
Because the building boat was in the center of the water village and was protected by surrounding boats, it did not suffer any damage.
However, several battleships on the periphery were lost.
This kind of loss made Zhou Yu very uncomfortable.
Because precautions have been taken, and fishing nets and hooks are equipped on the surrounding ships, as long as the Jiangdong soldiers can warn them in time, and then intercept the kerosene with the fishing nets and ignite them directly, then basically there will be no burns
Not to mention the ship itself, not to mention these fighting ships will be damaged pointlessly.
What kind of opponents did Jiang Dongjun face in the past?
Roadhog.
Er, that's wrong, it's the South Vietnamese barbarians in the mountains and forests.
The battle with Cao Cao has already revealed some problems. The reason why Zhu Zhi was able to capture Jiangling before was not because Zhu Zhi was so powerful, but because the main force of Cao's army in Jingzhou was on the northern front at that time!
However, Cao Ren only used the temporarily mobilized local warriors to push Zhu Zhi back to Jiangling City. Even when Cao Ren further mobilized some real Cao army troops, Zhu Zhi could hardly hold on and was about to give up...
…
It is true that Jiangdong has a strong naval force, but once it reaches land or the ship stops, problems will arise...
It's the same as when a cavalryman dismounts or stops his horse.
"Calm down...don't be angry..." Zhou Yu closed his eyes and tried his best not to think about how "stupid" these Jiangdong soldiers were, and instead refocused his attention on the battle situation in front of him.
The loss of some battleships is indeed a problem, but it is not a big problem.
The number of Jiangdong boats is relatively large, which is barely enough.
Morale is a little lower, but the problem is not that big either.
At dawn today, Zhou Yu had already ordered the execution of the military academy that had been poorly guarded before. He severely beat the soldiers who were on duty last night. At the same time, he also rewarded the soldiers who bravely put out the fire and were gloriously wounded. He successfully diverted the attention of Jiangdong soldiers...
After dealing with these things, Zhou Yu was extremely exhausted.
"Go get the golden elixir." Zhou Yu ordered the guard.
The guard hesitated a little, "Captain...it's better to use less of this golden elixir...Captain, why don't you go to the land camp and have a good rest..."
"Go." Zhou Yu said, "I can't rest now... Jiangdong, I can't retreat... Go get it, it's okay..."
The guard had no choice but to take the golden elixir, and then took some water for Zhou Yu to drink.
The burning sensation in the abdomen gradually spread, and Zhou Yu's face turned slightly rosy.
"Report!" A Jiangdong navy scout came to report, "Captain! The Sichuan-Shu army is retreating!"
"What?!" Zhou Yu stood up and took a step forward, but stopped. Then he frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly sneered and said, "Are you trying to fake defeat again?"
