Rebirth: I’m Lv Bu

Chapter 323: Cao Cao's strategy

Not long after Liu Bei rushed to the Green Forest Mountain, the main force of Cao Jun suddenly launched an offensive across the river. Numerous rafts and bamboo rafts came across the Han River, and the war broke out!

The Jiangdong Army had been prepared for this. Hundreds of large catapults arranged in advance on the bank of the river threw a piece of stone rain straight down towards Cao Jun who was robbing Hanshui, and saw the water splashing on the Hanshui, as if boiling. In general, from time to time, Cao Jun’s wooden raft was hit by rocks falling from the sky and fell to pieces. Cao Jun’s officers and men fell into the water one after another, roaring and shouting one after another on the water! However, Cao Jun was very sturdy, and he kept rowing the wooden bamboo rafts towards the south bank against the rain of rocks coming from the south bank. The losses were not small along the way, but they were constantly approaching the south bank!

Before long, more than a dozen wooden rafts leaned on the south bank, and hundreds of Cao Jun officers and soldiers jumped off the wooden rafts and rushed straight to the shore, shouting!

At this moment, the Titan Sun Ce suddenly led hundreds of war horses to rush up, and he slammed into the middle of Cao's army. There was a chaotic and hasty fight. Cao's officers and soldiers were chopped down to the ground with heavy casualties, and the blood on the bank covered the river. It's dyed red! At the same time, a fleet of Jiangdong naval forces appeared in the upstream direction, and they lined up in several rows and crashed down the river into the middle of the Cao army who was crossing the river! The huge warship knocked Cao Jun’s wooden raft into the water at once, and Cao Jun fell into the water one after another, brandishing knives and guns and roaring at the warship in front of him, but there was nothing to do with the opponent's warship; The officers and soldiers of the Jiangdong Army on the warship fired arrows at the Cao Jun on the river, and saw the arrows flying around the river like locusts. The officers and men of the Jiangdong Army on the wooden rafts shot their arrows into the water, and some Cao soldiers raised their bows. The crossbow counterattacked the Jiangdong army on the ship, but it had little effect.

...

Cao Jun continued to attack the South Bank despite the difficulties and dangers. The battle conditions were magnificent and vigorous. The entire day, the attack was uninterrupted. However, when the sun was about to set, Cao Jun still failed to break through the Jiangdong Army’s defenses and stood on the south bank. Instead, the loss was not small. Under the sunset, I saw countless corpses floating on the river surface. It was shocking that almost all of them were Cao Jun. Corpses of officers and soldiers. Facing such a scene, Cao Cao didn't move his expression, his eyes were as cold as steel! Seeing that it was getting late, and the strength of the officers and soldiers was gone, Cao Cao no longer wanted to fight, and ordered the army to stop the offensive and temporarily retreat to the camp.

Seeing that Cao Jun had retreated, Jiangdong Army also returned to the camp, leaving only the necessary guard troops along the river to guard against Cao's surprise attack. At the same time, the Jiangdong navy drove a small boat to and fro across the water to sweep the battlefield, picking up the corpses of Cao Jun’s officers and soldiers, and after stripping off the armor and weapons and other useful things, they threw the corpse back into the water; if encountered The officers and soldiers of the Cao Army who were still alive, I'm sorry, a knife or a shot killed him, then peeled off useful things and threw the body back into the water.

Sun Jian stepped into the big account surrounded by everyone. Sun Jian took off his shirt and threw it to the soldier next to him. He turned around and said with a laugh: "Today's battle, let Cao Jun know how powerful our army is! The loss of Cao's army in this battle is probably more than 5,000 people. Right!"

Everyone was also very excited. After all, they had only been defeated in the hands of Cao Cao not long ago. Today's victory can be said to be a good breath of anger in their chests!

Zhou Yu said mockingly: "Cao Cao thought that using Cao Ren's soldiers and horses to distract Liu Bei and Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, he would be able to attack Xiangyang in one fell swoop! But I don't know that above the water, no one is my opponent of the Jiangdong navy! Don't mention him With this strength, what is there to be afraid of the arrival of a million army!" Everyone couldn't help laughing.

The next day, Cao Jun continued his fierce attack across the river. For a whole day of fighting, he still did not make the slightest progress and still suffered heavy losses.

On the third day, the Cao Jun still attacked so fiercely. The Jiangdong Army attacked on both sides of the land and water as before. It could almost be said that it fell to the ground and killed Cao Jun.

Sun Jian immediately stood on the hillside by the river bank, watching the battle on the river, laughing, shaking his whip, and mocking: "Cao Mengde has nothing to do. He will only let his officers and soldiers go into the water to die! Such an attack, Even millions of people came to die!" However, Zhou Yu, who was immediately next to Sun Jian, frowned, with a thoughtful expression on his face. Sun Jian saw Zhou Yu's expression inadvertently, and couldn't help feeling very surprised. He smiled and asked, "Does Gong Jin still think there is something wrong?"

Zhou Yu frowned and said, "Then Cao Cao is a hero of the world! He should be able to see the existence of our navy soldiers, and their offensive is just a futile attempt to die! But why does he do this?"

Sun Jian didn't care, and said: "If Cao Cao doesn't attack like this, how else can he attack? Our navy can't be avoided above the water! I think that after this battle is over, Cao Mengde will probably dispel his going south. Attempt!"

Zhou Yu's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted: "No! This is another tactic!" Then he said to Sun Jian: "If what I expected is not bad, at this moment Cao Jun is afraid that he has already crossed the Han River!" Sun Jian was deeply impressed. Shocked, then he said in an angry manner: "This is simply impossible!"

At this moment, an officer who seemed to have just escaped from the battlefield with blood on his horse ran up the hill, strangled the horse abruptly, rolled over, clasped his fists, and reported: "It’s not good for the lord. It appears to have breached Xiangyang!" As soon as the people present heard this, they all changed their colors, and Sun Jian stared and shouted: "Nonsense! This is absolutely impossible! I will kill you by deceiving people and disturbing the military's morale!" Sun Jian pulled out. The officer was about to slash the officer out of the ancient ingot knife. The officer sat down on the ground in fright and yelled: "What the villain said is true! The villain dare not talk nonsense!" Sun Ce grabbed Sun Jian's arm and said. : "Father calms down. This is easy to tell. If he dares to lie to the military, it won't be too late to deal with it."

Sun Jian snorted and took the ancient ingot knife back into its sheath. Sun Ce asked the officer, "You said Cao Hong captured Xiangyang. Is this true?" The officer said, "It's true!" "How did Cao Hong cross the Han River?" "The specific villain is not clear. But Cao Hong's army came from there."

Sun Jian couldn't help but furious, and shouted, "Nonsense!" The officer's neck shrank, looking panic.

Sun Ce frowned and asked: "How many enemy troops have come?" "The specifics are not clear, but there are many soldiers and horses, probably more than 50,000 people!" "Where are Lu Zijing and others who are staying in Xiangyang?" "Already led The defeated soldiers fled to the south."

Sun Ce nodded thoughtfully, "Okay. I see, you go down and rest." The officer bowed to Sun Ce with his fists, then bowed to Sun Jian, and retreated.

Sun Jian asked angrily: "Cer, you don't really believe this kind of nonsense, do you? I think this person is 80% of the spies sent by Cao Cao, with the intention of disturbing our army!"

Sun Ce said: "This place is only more than ten miles away from Xiangyang. You only need to send someone to Xiangyang to investigate the situation, and you can find out tonight!" Sun Jian nodded, and immediately exchanged for a scout officer to make him rush there immediately. Xiangyang checked the situation and reported back immediately. The scout promised and hurried away.

That night, everyone under Sun Jian was worried that things in Xiangyang would not be able to sleep, while Sun Jian and Sun Ce had been sitting in the big tent waiting for news from the scout. It didn't take long for the scout to come back, and also brought general Zhou Tai. When Sun Jian and Sun Ce saw Zhou Tai with blood-stained knife marks on his body, he couldn't help being shocked and stood up. When Zhou Tai saw Sun Jian and Sun Ce, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Master, Major General!..." Sun Jian asked anxiously, "Is Xiangyang really lost?!" Zhou Tai nodded with shame on his face. Sun Jian only felt dizzy for a while, and fell back on top of Xiaozi. Sun Ce asked anxiously, "What is going on? How did Cao Hong cross the Han River?"

Zhou Tai held his fist and said: "Returning to the Major General, Cao Hong led an army of 70,000 across the Luoshui River, and then went south along the east bank of Hansui, and smuggled Hanshui in a fishing village called Liqiu dozens of miles south of Xiangyang...."

Sun Jian said unhappily, "There are still 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city of Xiangyang. How can they be taken down in an instant?"

Zhou Tai exuded resentment, and clasped his fist, saying: "It's all because of the rebellion in the city and the combination of the enemy's inside and outside! That Kuailiang, Kuaiyue, and Pang Ji have long been secretly connected with Cao Cao, when Cao Hong led the army. When he arrived under the city, it was Na Kuai Liang and others who ordered the opening of the city gate, which made Cao Hong's army enter Xiangyang without any hindrance! When our army reacted, Cao Hong's 70,000 army had already entered Xiangyang. Although Mr. He Lu Su led his army to fight back, he was outnumbered! Our army was defeated, and the final general led thousands of remnants to fight out from the west gate. Only then can he see the lord and the major general!..."

Sun Jian was furious and sternly cursed: "These shameless people! Why didn't I kill them all!!" It turned out that Kuailiang, Kuaiyue and others were originally important advisers under Liu Biao. Later, Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou. They followed Liu Bei. However, after all, Kuailiang and others were not Liu Bei’s cronies, so they never received Liu Bei’s trust and reuse. When Liu Bei gave up Jingzhou and retreated to Xiling, he left them in Jingzhou, which obviously meant to let them fend for themselves. . After Sun Jian entered Jingzhou, he considered that Kuailiang and others were prominent families in Jingzhou and had a significant influence in Jingzhou. He also considered that they were not allowed to be reused by Liu Bei. If they were to be favored, they would surely receive their sincere allegiance. In view of this. Sun Jian not only did not remove their posts, but instead entrusted them with important tasks. What Sun Jian never expected was that the original decision would lead to the result today, which made Sun Jian regretful and annoyed!

When everyone heard Sun Jian's scolding, they couldn't help sighing. Sun Ce said: "The matter is over, we can only take measures quickly!" Sun Jian couldn't help frowning and said: "If Xiangyang is lost, this Han River is no longer able to guard! We must immediately retreat south to Nanjun and other places!"

Sun Ce said, "Father, there may be a chance at this time!" Sun Jian looked at Sun Ce puzzled. Sun Ce smiled and said: "When Xiangyang is lost, anyone would think that we can only retreat south! I want to do the opposite and beat them off guard to retake Xiangyang!" Sun Jian showed a shocked look, but then he looked on. Nodded with emotion.

Sun Ce clasped his fist toward Sun Jian and said, "Father, you should call Gong Jin and others to discuss specific marching strategies!" Sun Jian nodded and immediately ordered a soldier to summon Zhou Yu and the generals.
