Chapter 52 Liu Biao died in Jingzhou Cao Liu Sunnan fought against Chibi (30

Cao Cao built a chain ship according to Pang Tong's plan. The general's middle building ship was connected as the flagship, standing in the center of the water village and building a banner. The rest of the chain warships were divided on both sides of the water village, and thousands of bows were ambushed on each ship.

A few days later, the chain of warships were completed, and it happened that the weather was sunny and calm. Cao Cao ordered: "Set up a banquet on the big ship and drink with the generals to celebrate."

At night, Cao's camp will gather on Cao Cao's flagship, and they will see the moonlight, bright like the day, and the Yangtze River, like a horizontal practice. Cao Cao sat in the middle of the big boat, and hundreds of waiters were all dressed in brocade and holding halberds. Civil and military officials sat in turn.

Cao Cao looked at the picturesque mountains on the south bank, Chai Sangliangtian in the east, Xiakou River in the west, and the lush Wulin in the north. Looking around the scenery was different. He was particularly happy and said to the generals, "Since I rose up, I have eliminated the evil for the country and vowed to sweep the four seas and cut down the world. Now the only one who has not won is the south of the Yangtze River. At this moment, I have millions of heroes, and I rely on all public lives. Why can I make great achievements? After subduing Jiangnan, nothing will happen in the world. I will share wealth with the princes to enjoy peace.

Wen Wu got up and thanked him, "May the Prime Minister play Kaige early!" We will rely on the Prime Minister's blessing all our lives.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard the words and ordered the attendant to pour wine and the musician to play music. When everyone drank until midnight, Cao Cao's wine was booming, and suddenly he heard the sound of crows and going south. Cao Cao asked the generals, "Why does this bird sing at night?"

The left and right Wenwu replied, "The crow thought it was dawn when they saw the bright moon, so they left the tree and sang."

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, stood on the bow of the boat, laid wine in the middle of the river, and said to the generals, "I hold this to break the yellow scarf, fight against Dong Zhuo, Ping Yuan Shu, and accept Yuan Shao, go deep into the north, go straight to Liaodong, across the world, and live up to the will of a man. When I encounter this scene, I feel emotion in my heart. I'll be a song, and you wait for it.

What is life like for wine as a song? For example, the morning dew is full of hardships. It should be generous and unforgettable. Du Kang is the only one who can relieve his worries. Qingqingzi, leisurely in my heart. But for your sake, I have been meditating so far. Yo, the deer sings and eats the apple of the wild. I have a guest who plays drums. As bright as the moon, when can you drop out? Worry comes from it and cannot be cut off! The more strange it is, it is useless to coexist. Let's talk about the banquet and miss the old kindness. The moon star is rare, and the magpie flies south. Three turns around the tree, and there are no branches to rely on. Mountains are never tired of being high and water is never tired of being deep. Zhou Gong spits and feeds, and the world returns to his heart.

After Cao Cao sang, all the generals and all laughed happily. Cao Cao smiled when he saw the morale of the generals. He invited the generals not only for fun, but also for the more important purpose was to mobilize before the war and start a war with Jiangdong.

The next day, Le Jin, the governor of the navy, and Li Dian, asked the generals to fight in public according to Cao Cao's instructions: "The Prime Minister, all the large and small ships in the village have been equipped with a chain ready to stop. The banners and blades are ready one by one. Please send the prime minister to the army."

When Cao heard this, he began to dispatch troops, and the two armies were divided into five-color flags. Lejin and Li Dian, the yellow flag in the center of the water army, the red flag of the former army, Lv Qian, the green flag of the left army, and the white flag of the right army. Cao Ren, the red flag of the front army, Gaolan of the soap flag of the rear army, Xiahou Dun of the green flag of the left army, Xiahou Yuan of the white flag of the right army, Cao Cao led Xu Chu and Cao Hong to sit in the middle army, and the rest of the generals responded.

The distribution of the generals has been completed, Cao's army beats three drums in the water village, and each team of warships came out separately. On that day, the northwest wind rose, and the ships broke through the wind and waves. Cao Bing stabbed a gun on the ship to make the morale high, and the flags of the left and right sides were not chaotic. There were more than 50 small boats, and the patrol police urged the governor. Cao Cao stood on the central ship to watch the exercise. He was overjoyed and thought that his generals could be used for actual combat.

Cao Cao said to the counselors while doing the military parade: "If it hadn't been for the help of fate, how could he get a wonderful plan? As expected, the iron cable and boat crossed the river like walking flat ground.

Cheng Yu reminded Cao Cao: "The ship chain is smooth, but if you attack with fire, it is difficult to avoid and must be prevented."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Although Zhong De has foresight, there is still something unclear."

Xun You said, "Zhong De's words are very true. Why is the Prime Minister unknown?

Cao Cao said, "But every fire attack must take advantage of the wind. In the middle of winter, there is only a northwest wind. How can there be a southeast wind? I wait on the north bank and Zhou Yu is on the south bank. If I use fire to burn my own soldiers, what am I afraid of?

The generals bowed and said, "I can't wait for the Prime Minister!"

Cao said, "The chain ship has been completed. When it comes to compete with Jiangdong, I'm afraid that Zhou Lang will see that my ship will leave without a big battle. He will first lure the enemy to fight, and then the battle will be decided. Who are you waiting for to lure the enemy?

As soon as the words fell, the second general stepped forward and made his debut: "I'll wait to go!"

Cao Cao regarded it as Ma Yan and Zhang Wei, the surrendered generals of Hebei. Cao Cao said, "You all grow up in the north, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient to take a boat. Don't take your life as a joke.

Ma Yan said, "Although the last general is from the north, he can also ride a boat, not to mention seducing the enemy. The prime minister doesn't have to worry too much."

Cao Cao was right and said to the two, "The big boats are all chained, and only the small boat can lure the enemy. I'll give you forty small boats, 800 elite soldiers, and long guns and hard crossbows to lure the enemy. This battle can be defeated and invincible, and I will personally respond later.

Ma Yan and Zhang Yan took the order and left. The next morning, Cao Jun made food on the fourth watch, and the fifth watch was cleaned up and stopped. Large and small boats came out of the water village and distributed on the water surface. Ma Yan and Zhangyi each led 20 small boats and set sail along the water to the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhou Yu listened to Cao Ying's golden drums yesterday and expected that Cao Cao would attack after the military parade. Today, when he saw a small boat coming against the wind and waves, he asked the generals, "Cao Bing came to fight, who dares to meet the enemy?"

Han Dang and Cheng Pu said together, "I am willing to defeat the enemy for the vanguard."

When Zhou Yu saw that they asked for war, he secretly told them to hand over thousands of elite sailors to them, and assigned 30 small boats to order them to fight. Later, it was rumored that the villages should be strictly guarded and not to move lightly.

Ma Yan and Zhang Yi came to Zhou Yuzhai by boat and saw that Han Dang and Cheng Pu each drew 15 small boats out, but Zhou Yu's army did not move, and it was inevitable that they were a little hesitant. Ma Yan and Zhang Yi discussed, "The Prime Minister sent us to lure enemies, but what's the use of only attracting these boats back?"

Zhang Yu said, "Zhou Yu bullied our northern army and could not take a boat, so he sent fewer ships and generals. Why don't we take advantage of its light enemy's plan to eliminate its vanguard? In this way, we can't make contributions, and we can also attract Zhou Yu to the war. It also let Jiangdong know that our northern army can also take a boat.

Ma Yan was deeply convinced when they heard the words. After making a plan, the two led their own boats to fight. Han Dang and Cheng Pu saw the two generals coming and also split up to meet the enemy.

Han Dang held a big knife shield to fight against Ma Yan. Ma Yan only knew that the water battle bow and crossbow was the first, so he ordered the soldiers to release arrows. Han Dang was not afraid. He raised his shield in front of him to resist the rain of arrows, while making the sergeant sail quickly. If Ma Yan is familiar with water warfare, he should turn the bow of the ship at this time, maintain long-range suppression, and prevent Han from taking overboard. Unfortunately, Ma Yan was not good at water warfare and forgot to control the ship when he ordered the soldiers to release arrows. As a result, the ship rushed forward along the water and only shot two rounds of arrows, and the boats on both sides collided with each other.

It is said that Ma Yan took the lead in shooting two rounds of arrow rain. Unfortunately, Cao Bing was not good at water warfare, and the precision of soldiers opening bows and shooting arrows on the boat was limited. Han Dangshi made preparations again, and the shield protected his whole body. As a result, Jiangdong soldiers did not lose much when the two armies fought.

Han Dang shouted loudly when the two boats collided and shook, jumped on the Mayan boat and raised his knife and cut it. Ma Yan was unstable, and he didn't expect Han Dang to be so brave that he was stabbed to death by Han Dang.

Here, Han Dang cut Ma Yan with a knife, and Cheng Puti's iron ridge snake spear against Zhang Wei. Compared with Ma Yan, Zhang Yan is a little smarter, but he knows how to distance himself from Cheng Pula. However, Cheng Pu did not rush as hard as Han Dang, but ordered the soldier to shoot against Zhang Yi's crossbow.

Although there are few ships such as Han Dang and Cheng Pu, there are many soldiers on the ship. Cao Cao ordered Ma Yan and Zhang Wei to lure the enemy, so the two ships had more soldiers and less bluffed. Zhou Yu ordered Han Dang and Cheng Pu to annihilate the enemy, so the young soldiers showed their weakness and deliberately lured Ma Yan and Zhang Yi to fight to the death.

The result of Zhang Yu and Cheng Pu's shooting was that the number and accuracy of Zhang Yu's shooting arrows were not as good as Cheng Pu's. Under this time, when Zhang's soldiers were mostly killed and injured, Cheng Pu's soldiers were only slightly damaged.

At this time, it was too late for Zhang Yi to run again, because the number of soldiers on the ship also determined the speed of the ship. When the warships of the two sides travel in the same direction, the boat will be faster if there are more soldiers rowing on the boat.

Cheng Pu gradually caught up with Zhang Yi's warship, which was still seven or eight feet away. Cheng Pu jumped on Zhang Yi's warship, stabbed Zhang Yi with a spear and plunged it into the water.

When Cao Bing saw that the two generals dared to fight, they turned around and fled one after another. In this way, the fraudulent defeat could become a real defeat. Han Dang and Cheng Pu refused to let go of the defeated army and led the crowd to board the boat to kill Cao soldiers.

Just when Han Dang and Cheng Pu killed all over the world, they saw that on the surface of the north of the river, the warships went down the water. Among them, Cao Cao's chain ship was riding an extremely tall flag, like an ambush island and a mountain of soldiers in the water.

Han Dang and Cheng Pu were also shocked to see Cao Cao's chain of ships and dared not continue to pursue and return to their ships. Cao Cao was condescending on the big ship and saw that the two of them wanted to retreat. While ordering the soldiers to shoot arrows, he urged the big ship to move forward.

The Cao soldiers on the chain battleship fired arrows together, which made Jiangdong soldiers suffer. First, Cao Bing's condescending arrows have a longer range, second, the chain ships are as stable as flat as the ground and the arrows will not lose accuracy, and third, Cao Bing's numerous tens of thousands of arrows are fired together. It was just this rain of arrows that Jiangdong soldiers fell into the water one after another.

Han Dang and Cheng Pu whistled when they saw the situation, and the soldiers on the ship abandoned the boat to dive and fled. Seeing the success of the chain warships in the first battle, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing and did not order the ship to stop, but directly crushed all the boats in Jiangdong on the water surface, showing the prestige of the big ship. After this battle, although Cao Cao broke Ma Yan and Zhang Yi, he was more confident in the chain of ships.

Zhou Yu also took a panoramic view of the battle on the shore. Looking at Han Dang, Cheng Pu and Jiang Dong soldiers returning from the water, Zhou Yu smiled and didn't care. He ordered Han Dang and Cheng Pu to win first and then lose, in order to make Cao Cao underestimate the enemy.

Han Dang and Cheng Pu saw Zhou Yu watching the battle on the shore and pleaded guilty before dripping on the water, saying, "We are not conducive to the loss of soldiers and soldiers. We are entrusted with the governor, and we ask the governor to punish them."

Zhou Yu comforted the two and said, "There are many soldiers on the boat. It's not your fault in this battle. You have been killed before, and you have made no achievements. Don't be discouraged.
