Chapter 245 Hands on
Thinking that Jiang Xia's recruitment was difficult to deal with, Huang Gai also understood why Zhou Yu asked the elite pro-guards to escort the stone truck. The catapult is extremely heavy, and thousands of people are often escorted. If it is escorted by ordinary people, it is easy to be attacked by the Flying Dragon Army.
Only the elite pro-guards can use horses to escort the catapult, which can save time and prevent sneak attacks, thinking that Huang Gai has no guard against Zhao Yun.
"General Zhao's ability is extraordinary, and his status in the pro-guards is certainly not low, right?" Huang Gai smiled and said that this is a polite sentence. If Zhao Yun's position in the Flying Dragon Army is really not low, he must have heard of it. However, as far as he knows, in the Guards, in addition to Chen Wu and Lv Meng, only a young general named Pan Zhang declared that he was not weak. As for Zhao Yu, he had never heard of it.
"Ha ha, General Huang is joking. There are many capable people in the pro-guards. The last general can only have today's status after reading some books. How can he compare with General Lu and others?" Zhao Yun shook his head and said that he had also heard of several young generals in the Guards. As far as he knows, these people's martial arts are extraordinary, no longer under Wang Yi.
"Reading? So that's it. No wonder I think General Zhao's dispatch is orderly, which is different from ordinary generals. Huang Gai suddenly felt that Zhao Yun's performance was not only the heroic side of other generals, but also the elegant side of the scholar, which was too different from the rudeness of ordinary generals.
Huang Gai didn't pay attention to what Zhao Yun said about Lv Meng and Chen Wu. These two people have a martial art, but they don't know anything about the way of unifying soldiers. Their status today depends on their martial arts, and this martial art is nothing for Huang Gai, who is used to fighting.
"General Zhao, we have arrived." After a while, the two came outside the barracks one by one, and Huang Gai pointed to the huge barracks in front of him.
Zhao Yun looked over and saw that the barracks were so great that he couldn't see the edge at a glance. In the barracks, piles of high grain and grass are extremely neatly organized, and more than a dozen tall catapults in the rear of the barracks are covered with thick canvas, and rows of houses behind the stone carts.
The defense in the barracks was extremely tight. Five steps, one post, ten steps and one whistle. A famous Jiangdong soldier held a steel knife and looked at the square vigilantly. Seeing Huang Gai and others coming, a young general immediately rushed out and shouted, "Who is it? No one is allowed to break in the military camp, and there is no mercy for those who violate it!"
"It's me." Huang Gai was not angry but said faintly, but there was some appreciation in his voice.
"See the general." After seeing the yellow cover clearly, the young general hurried forward and bowed.
"Well, open the camp door." Huang Gai said to the young general.
"No." The young general immediately answered, and then glanced at a wisp of doubt in Zhao Yun's eyes, and then turned around and ordered the soldiers to open the camp door.
"General Zhao, please." After saying that, Huang Gai walked to the camp first.
Zhao Yun behind Huang Gai saw this and smiled, made a gesture to the flying dragon guard behind him, and stepped forward and walked side by side with Huang Gai to the camp.
"General Zhao, please take a look. The food and fodder here are enough for the military for three months." Huang Gai pointed to a pile of towering grains and grass and smiled.
After saying that, Huang Gai pointed to the other side and said, "That's the throwing car. There are fifteen stone throws, which is enough to put the boulder on the wall more than ten feet high, and this force is enough to destroy the wall. With these more than ten stone throwing cars this time, Jiangxia City can also take it down as soon as possible. Jiangdong will add another county."
"General Huang is right. I didn't know until I saw it today that although Jiangdong is not as good as Jingzhou, it is not much worse." Zhao Yun laughed.
When the two entered the barracks, the two thousand flying dragons behind Zhao Yun had been divided into several teams to cover the whole barracks, but it looked like they were separated by a pile of towering food and fodder.
"Hey, General Zhao is wrong. These grains and fodder are the savings of Jiangdong in the past few years. In the past two years, Jiangdong is not peaceful. Accumulating these grains and fodaries is time-consuming and labor-consuming. If Jingzhou could collect so much food and fodder in half a month." Huang Gai sighed and said that Jiangdong is as rich as Jingzhou, but in recent years, Jiangdong has been fighting in the south, while Jingzhou is extremely stable, which is far less than Jingzhou Jiangdong.
"Oh." Zhao Yun nodded, and a fine light flashed in his eyes. He was faintly excited. If the grain and grass were burned, Jiangdong would not pose a threat to Jingzhou in a short time, and Jingzhou would naturally be able to overcome this difficulty.
However, he has now gained the trust of Huang Gai and is not in a hurry to do it. This barracks should not be as simple as keeping food and fodder.
"Ha ha, General Zhao, don't worry. Over the years, Jiangdong has been fighting for years to make Jiangdong like this. Now the lord has unified Jiangdong, and it only takes a few years for Jiangdong to catch up with Jingzhou." Huang Gai smiled and said that Jiangdong is not as good as Jingzhou now, but Jiangdong's power is improving year by year, while Jingzhou is in place. Huang Gai is confident that Jiangdong will be richer than Jingzhou in a few years.
"I also believe that the Lord can do it." Zhao Yun smiled, but he was a little disapproving. There was Liu Qi in Jingzhou, and the speed of development was not comparable to that of Jiangdong. He heard Zhuge Liang's analysis of Liu Qi's plan in recent years, and he also knew what kind of ambition Liu Qi had. Liu Qi's vision was extremely long-term.
Huang Gai laughed when he heard Zhao Yun's words. He often read books in his spare time. Now when he sees Zhao Yun, he can't help but feel like a confidant. He felt that he had a similar temperament with Zhao Yun, and his heart was much more open.
"General Zhao, I don't tell you the truth. There are not only food and grass and weight in this barracks, but also the giant crossbows specially made by Jiangdong to deal with Cao Cao. There are a whole thousand, and this giant bows are amazingly powerful with two feathers and arrows at a time." Huang Gai smiled and said.
"What?" Zhao Yun's pupils tightened. Although the giant crossbow is not uncommon, it is rare, and there will be no prince who will spend hundreds of money and effort to build.
Although these giant military rages are amazingly powerful, they are extremely bulky and require three people to lift them, and the cost is also extremely expensive. For many reasons, the princes from all walks of life have to build only a small number of giant crossbows in case of emergency.
And such a huge military rage will not exceed 200 in Jiangdong. No! It's a hundred! But there are a whole thousand giant crossbows here. If such a crossbow is thrown into the battlefield, how amazing the power would be.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun suddenly had the impulse to destroy the thousand giant troops here at all costs. However, this impulse was suppressed by Zhao Yun just for a moment. The crossbow is not as good as food and grass, and such a crossbow must be very deep. It takes a long time to find it in this huge barracks.
During this period, Huang Gai must have mobilized soldiers and horses. At that time, 2,000 flying dragon guards will stay in the city, and a thousand giant crossbows will not be as good as 2,000 flying dragon guards.
Seeing that Zhao Yun was so shocked, Huang Gai shook his head and didn't say anything. You know, he was also shocked when he learned the news. This can be said to be a killer in Jiangdong.
"General Huang, let's take a look at the stone throwing car first." Zhao Yun took a deep breath and said that it was getting late, and it was time to do it.
"The cataping car is in front." With that, Huang Gai should walk forward first.
Zhao Yun behind him saw a flash of cold light in his eyes, and the long gun in his hand suddenly stabbed out. The cold light flashed straight to Huang Gai's heart. Zhao Yun still had some luck in his heart. If he could kill Huang Gai, the whole Chai Sangcheng would definitely fall into chaos. At that time, he might be able to find out those giant crossbows and burn them.
"General, be careful!"
There was an angry shout, and then a young general had been stabbed through. This young general is the general of the barracks. This man has doubts about why Huang Gai treated a young general. Therefore, since he entered the barracks, he has been quietly paying attention to Zhao Yun. Now he sees Zhao Yun suddenly killing him and blocking Huang Gai without thinking about it.
"What?" More than a dozen soldiers who followed Huang Gai into the barracks looked at the little generals who had been stabbed with shock.
"Do it!"
Zhao Yun shouted loudly, and the torch in his hand was then thrown on the towering grain and grass beside him. With a bang, the dry grain and grass quickly burned.
"You are not pro-guards!" Huang Gai, who had been shocked by the movement behind him, turned around and saw the scene in the field and immediately woke up. However, at this time, Huang Gai was still unbelieving. How could it be wrong with Zhu Jian's Zhou Yu's? He remembered Zhou Yu's handwriting clearly, and the notes on the bamboo slips were indeed Zhou Yu.
But what's wrong with the person in front of you? Huang Gai wondered whether Zhou Yu could rebel, and then Huang Gai shook his head and vetoed it.
hong hong hong........................
At this time, the flying dragon guards scattered in the barracks also threw the torches in their hands on the grain and grass beside them. In an instant, the nearby grain and grass were swallowed up by the flames all over the sky, and the flames quickly spread to the whole barracks with the momentum of beacon fire.
"The thief dares!" Huang Gai's eyes were about to crack at this time. This is the food and fodder of the 100,000 army for three months. If it is burned, what will the army eat?
Huang Gai immediately ordered the soldiers behind him to mobilize troops. He took the garrison in the barracks and pestering Zhao Yun and others, and the scattered sentries in the barracks also joined the regiment with weapons. The shouts of killing in the barracks were everywhere, accompanied by the fire in the whole barracks, and the momentum was great.
"Go!" Seeing that his goal was achieved, Zhao Yun did not stop. He forced Huang Gai to turn his horse's head and rushed out of the camp. During this period, two Huang Gai's personal soldiers came forward to block him, and they were all killed by Zhao Yun.
"Gout the fire first!" Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Huang Gai didn't have time to chase Zhao Yun and shouted eagerly.
