Chapter 266: The Fire of Wulin(1/2)
As time progresses, more than a month has passed since the prefect of Jiangxia, Liu Biao, ordered Jiangxia prefect Huang Zu, led his troops to go east to invade Jiangdong.
Although the enemy is numerous and we are few, Zhou Yu still stabilizes the situation with his excellent water battle ability, and makes the war stalemate and does not lose control.
On the other hand, the commander Huang Zu was becoming more and more anxious at this moment.
He has not taken advantage of the water battles and collisions over the past few days.
Under the premise that the scale of armor, warships and naval forces are far above the enemy's army, water battles cannot gain the advantage they deserve.
This is undoubtedly an extremely fatal point!
To this day, he felt a little irritated.
"Can the second batch of reinforcements be recruited by the Dui Jun have arrived?"
In the Wulin camp, Huang Zu slowly held his breath and stared at the map hanging in the screen. He pondered for a while, and suddenly asked him at the deputy general behind him.
"Report to General, according to the news sent back in the previous episode, Xiangyang has not yet heard any support trends."
"What?"
Just saying that after a few words, Huang Zu suddenly changed his expression and shouted seriously: "What's the situation? Why haven't the reinforcements arrived for a long time?"
"Don't you know that the time is not waiting for anyone at this time?"
"If the enemy continues to delay, once the situation in the Central Plains is settled and Yuan can draw reinforcements back, then our army's plan to swallow the land of Jiangdong will be ruined!"
For a moment, Huang Zu kept venting the anger he had accumulated over the past few days in his chest.
He was crushed by Zhou Yu in commanding water warfare.
With its superior forces, warships cannot cause extremely trouble to the Yuan army.
If the main force of the enemy suddenly returns to help, wouldn’t it be that our side will have no chance?
A voice was solemnly finished.
Huang Zu was not only considering the next battle, but also feeling indignant!
In the previous battle of Wankou, Huang Zu was defeated because he misunderstood Taishi Ci's deceitful surrender.
Now that he is anxious to lead the troops again, he is also suspected of regaining the situation.
However, it is difficult to break through Yuan Jun's defense line frequently, and he feels a little unconsciously.
"The reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, have there been any changes?"
"Before sending troops, the Duke Jun agreed that the subsequent reinforcements must be given to the soldiers and grain. What is the situation now?"
After a powerful vent, Huang Zu pondered for a while, and couldn't help but show a cold expression, and said sternly: "Can't it be that the people around the Duke are justified to stop the dispatch of troops?"
"Hmph! I should have expected that these damn corrupt scholars would really not be able to succeed and fail."
"How difficult is it to count on them?"
After a cold snorting, Huang Zu knew that the current situation was not optimistic, so he had to force himself to calm down.
But the situation is becoming increasingly difficult.
He was also thinking hard...
Are there any plans for the enemy?
Even if he lets him think about it, he has no clue at all!
In the face of all hard power, wisdom seems so pale and powerless.
In exquisite strategy, without absolute force, they are all paper tigers...
On the other side.
On the other side of the river.
Red Cliff Camp.
At this moment, Zhou Yu had slowly thought about how to defeat the enemy in detail.
Immediately following, he immediately summoned all his men to discuss everything.
Camp room.
On the left and right sides are Deng Dang, Zulang, Xu Sheng, Lu Meng and others who will stand here.
This was when Yuan Yao first pacified Jiangdong, and he handed it over to guard Chaisang to prevent the team of Huang Zu of Jiangxia.
Until this moment, the generals in the camp almost worshiped Zhou Yu from the bottom of their hearts.
It’s probably because it’s only a few months to get enough for Chaisang!
But Zhou Yu not only collected about thousands of people familiar with water in the surrounding area in a short period of time, but also built a lot of ordnance warships, all of which were prepared.
The powerful ability shown by Zhou Yu also made the generals feel inexplicably respected.
Especially now, Lu Meng, who almost always spends his spare time, he will enter the account to ask about military-related issues.
As for private matters, I studied military books and strategies alone, etc.
After this incident made his brother-in-law Deng Dang notice it, he also felt a little surprised.
What kind of habit is Lu Meng?
He was very clear about it. He was very fond of playing since he was a child. He also loved practicing martial arts when he was young, but he was not enthusiastic about reading.
Now, I suddenly saw Lu Meng so hardworking and studiously, and I was surprised, and I was naturally very happy.
When Yuan Yao led his troops to pacify Shouchun, when Deng Dang led his troops to surrender, he unexpectedly discovered that Lu Meng had actually gotten involved in his troops.
Fighting between battlefields, life will be in danger at any time.
In order to continue the bloodline of the Lü family, Deng Dang also informed his mother about this.
But after finally revealing Lu Meng's ambitions and solemnly explaining his own ideas to him, he agreed.
After inquiring from many sources, Deng Dang just learned that the huge changes that Lu Meng had suffered were beginning to be diligent and studious, and would actively ask for advice on the military aspects that were difficult to understand or obscure.
This actually comes from Yuan Yao's advice to study.
Just now, Lu Meng made such a big change.
During the camp, Zhou Yu slowly put forward his own strategy.
After a few words came, the generals were thinking about it.
After a while, the generals also expressed their support.
But at this time, Lu Meng seemed to have discovered the key point of this strategy, so he immediately agreed: "Report to the Governor, you just proposed that there will be a stable east wind raging in a specific time in the past."
"If this can be used properly, fire attacks can be used to take the opportunity to support the boat and extradite Jiangbei, and burn the Jingzhou army camp in one fell swoop."
"but……"
However, he paused for a moment and then analyzed in a deep voice: "But the fire attack has an extremely big problem, that is, how to break through the enemy's camp."
"Besides, between the rivers, warships are far less dense than military equipment and food, and are extremely sparse."
"If you don't make full preparations, I'm afraid the Fire Attack will not have a very high profit at that time!"
As soon as these words were said, Lu Meng was rightly proposed various situations at this time.
Zhou Yu's face also showed joy indifferently.
Lu Meng asked him a lot of questions.
But he found that Lu Meng was actually very conscious, such as many strategies and examples, and he was able to learn from one example.
Zhou Yu is still worthy of recognition for his learning ability.
Looking at his thoughts, Zhou Yu was not angry that Lu Meng had disturbed his face, but was more happy.
Next.
Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile and asked, "Zi Ming, I wonder what preparations should you do if you want to maximize the fire attack?"
After a while, the words were finished.
He looked calm as he spoke, obviously not panic at all.
Upon hearing this, Lu Menger heard that Zhou Yu was half of his master’s teaching exam, and he knew in his heart that he would not lose his link this time.
After pondering for a while, it seemed that I had already thought about it, I bowed my hands and said:
"Governor, I believe that the first problem our army faces this time is the problem of insufficient troops."
"After all, this time I was intending to counterattack the Jingzhou army. If the troops were still at a disadvantage, I might have such an uncontrollable change in the middle of the journey, which would make the situation irresistible!"
After this statement came to an end, Zhou Yu saw that Lu Meng was calm and composed in his words, and every word was reasonable and well-founded, he couldn't help but love him even more.
And the words are far more than that simple and it ends.
Lu Meng continued to say: "Of course, this is just an objective factor. Although the gap in military strength cannot be compensated, Meng believes that as long as the planning is carefully, it is still feasible!"
"But mainly the fire is used to defeat the enemy. Most of the warships facing him are scattered across the river, and they are extremely vague. Can the fire spread?"
"But secondly, how should the Jingzhou military camp break through?"
To be continued...
