- Sun Shao?
Sun Shangxiang did not beg him to spare Sun Quan's life, but begged him to spare the life of his nephew Sun Shao, which made Yan Liang feel a little surprised.
"Why Sun Shao and not Sun Quan?" Yan Liang did not shy away and asked bluntly.
"Second brother, he is like an animal. He actually wants to bully his sister-in-law. Even if he is destroyed, he deserves it. Shaoer is pitiful. He lost his father when he was young. I just want to save his life and leave a little blood for the Sun family. I beg you. My husband can be merciful."
Sun Shangxiang begged pitifully to Yan Liang.
Once upon a time, she was quite confident in the strength of the Sun family, but after marrying Yan Liang, she discovered that her husband's magnanimity and strength far exceeded that of Sun Quan, and Jiangdong's fall was no longer inevitable.
And Yan Liang¡¯s reminder that day also made Sun Shangxiang see clearly the face of her second brother. At this time, she no longer wanted to plead for such a shameless brother.
Sun Shangxiang¡¯s change of mind made Yan Liang very happy, but he did not agree.
"I still say the same thing, those who obey will live, and those who go against will perish. Who of the Sun family can survive depends on themselves."
After saying this, Yan Liang no longer dwelled on the thoughts of his children, put on his armor, turned around and strode out.
Ma Yunlu comforted Sun Shangxiang with his eyes and followed him out.
Sun Shangxiang leaned by the door and watched Yan Liang go away. After a long time, he sighed softly.
Yan Liang, who left the mansion, personally led 3,000 Tiger Guard troops, followed by Ma Yunlu, Zhou Cang and other close generals. Half a day later than Gan Ning's troops, they also set off from Chaisang and headed for the mouth of the downstream lake. .
¡¡
At noon that day, Hukou Fortress stood on the river.
The cry of killing shook the sky, and arrows rained like shuttles, intertwining into a gorgeous network of light in the sky.
On the surface of the river, more than 700 warships of the Wu Army, large and small, lay across the river, launching an unprecedented fierce attack on the Yan Army in Hukou.
Zhou Yu stood proudly on the flagship ship with his sword in hand, staring directly at the enemy camp with a cold gaze.
In the front, the 10,000 vanguards led by Huang Gai were using conventional tactics to attack the enemy's water stronghold.
However, the progress of the war was not as smooth as Zhou Yu imagined.
According to Zhou Yu¡¯s idea, his army will attack in a surprise attack, and the lax defense of Yan Jun will be caught off guard. He will successfully attack the Hukou Fortress within an hour.
Then, he could divide part of his troops to go south to Poyang Lake, and use his navy to cut off Wei Yan's 7,000 soldiers and horses in Poyang County east of Poyang Lake.
At the same time, he will personally lead the army and take advantage of the victory to take Chaisang.
Relying on the superiority in military strength, his army will defeat Chaisang in one fell swoop before the enemy's Xiakou fleet arrives.
At that time, the firewood has already fallen, and even if Yan Liang has the advantage of a carriage and a boat, it will be of no use.
If you are lucky, you may be able to kill Yan Liang in Chaisang in one fell swoop and complete your victory.
However, the fact is that Lu Meng and Ling Tong in the Hukou camp, the two Jiangdong rebel generals, seemed to have expected that they were going to lead their troops to kill them, and they were extremely well prepared for the battle.
After half a day of furious attack, none of the Wu army's warships could break into the enemy camp.
The well-prepared Yan army, relying on their crossbow chariots, Yuanrong's repeating crossbows, and various strong bows and crossbows, stubbornly blocked several rounds of Wu army's strong attacks.
Among the arrows that filled the sky, Sergeant Wu's arrows fell to the ground one after another. The water near the shore was covered with a layer of blood-stained red.
Zhou Yu began to frown secretly. He vaguely felt that Yan Liang seemed to have expected that he might launch a surprise attack on Hukou. Otherwise, how could the defenders' resistance be so calm and tenacious.
Despite this, Zhou Yu¡¯s frown quickly relaxed and was replaced by a look of disdain.
"Yan Liang, you thief, do you think that if you are prepared, I, Zhou Yu, can't do anything to you? Just wait and see."
A hint of coldness flashed across the corner of Zhou Yu's mouth, and he immediately raised his whip and shouted: "Send the order, Huang Gai's team retreats, and Zhou Tai's thunder boat goes up."
On the flagship, the command flag waved and Zhou Yu¡¯s latest order was passed down.
When Huang Gai of the front army saw the flag, he quickly pushed back his ordinary attack fleet. Then in the rear army, hundreds of modified giant battleships slowly moved forward to fill the position of Huang Gai's team.
For those hundred modified fighting ships, the area of ??the cabins has been reduced by more than half, and the exposed decks have been greatly increased. On each deck, one to three trebuchets are installed.
? ? ? ? ? ? ?There are at least seven trebuchets on the fighting ships, and there are nearly seven or eight hundred trebuchets on more than one hundred fighting ships.
In the past, Wu's army used several times its strength, but was unable to conquer the water camp that Yan's army held fast, resulting in the loss of fighter planes, and Yan Liang turned defeat into victory.
Therefore, after Zhou Yu took power, he was thinking about how to break Yan Jun's persistence, so Zhou Yu came up with a way to move the trebuchet to the battleship.
In fact, it is not unprecedented to put trebuchets on board ships. Because of their large size, the original deck of a battleship could only accommodate one or two at most. Coupled with the shaking of the river boats, the trebuchets were unable to shoot stably, and the originally low hit rate plummeted.
It is for this reason that trebuchets have not been used on a large scale in water battles.
Zhou Yu used his wisdom and ordered more than a hundred battleships to be modified to install as many trebuchets as possible. He also fixed the trebuchets on the deck to prevent them from moving out of position.
As a result, a brand new trebuchet was modified. Because the trebuchet is the most famous for the thunderbolt chariot invented by Cao Cao, Zhou Yu named this modified ship the thunderbolt boat.
More than a hundred thunderbolt boats slowly approached the firing range, and seven hundred trebuchets were loaded and began to aim at the Hukou camp.
In the water camp, Lu Meng looked at Wu Jun's new type of warship from a distance. When he saw the densely packed trebuchets, an ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart.
"I have never seen such a warship among the Wu army. Could it be that Zhou Yu came prepared?"
Just when Lu Meng was suspicious, the drums of attack were already sounding on the river.
Amidst the rumbling war drums, seven hundred trebuchets fired at the same time, and countless stone bullets soared past, roaring towards Shuiying with a "woo-woo" sound breaking through the air.
The stone rain came, and the sound was overwhelming.
Before the stone bullets all over the sky fell, the terrifying momentum shocked the entire Yan Army officers and soldiers in the battalion.
"Hide, hide quickly¡ª¡ª"
Lu Meng shouted and jumped off his mount without thinking.
In an instant, stone bullets struck like a meteor shower.
Boom boom boom¡ª¡ª
Countless stone bullets hit, the wooden trestle was broken, the masts of warships parked in the waterway were knocked off, and several arrow towers had their pillars smashed and collapsed suddenly.
In the blink of an eye, the waterfront was riddled with holes.
Screams came one after another, and those soldiers who had no time to dodge were either smashed to pieces by stone bullets and killed on the spot, or their limbs were broken, and they fell to the ground half dead and howled.
Lu Meng, who dismounted in time, moved his body quickly and avoided the stone bullet, but his mount was not so lucky. The poor war horse was hit by a roaring stone bullet, and its neck was broken. , the blood spurted out even wetted half of Lu Meng's body.
After the first round of stone rain, although the losses of the soldiers were not much, the mental blow was quite heavy.
These soldiers who are good at water warfare never imagined that enemy warships could actually launch stone bombs similar to those of infantry siege ships.
The shock was not in time, the loading of the Wu ship had been completed, and with the earth-shattering sound of breaking through the air, the second round of stone rain struck again.
Lu Meng had no choice but to dodge the stone bullets while motivating the soldiers not to be afraid, ordering them to continue to stick to their posts and not to take a step back without authorization.
Stones rained down, blood splashed, and howls were heard everywhere.
When defending the city on land, there is still a solid city wall as a barrier, but in this water camp, the only barrier that can be used is a wooden fence. How can a mere wooden fence withstand the terrifying attack power of stone bullets.
People continue to fall in a pool of blood, warships continue to be damaged, and the situation is developing in an increasingly unfavorable direction.
However, not one of the 20,000 Yanjun soldiers flinched.
Although they were frightened and mentally uneasy, their iron-clad military discipline and will drove them to overcome fear and still persevere bravely.
After enduring more than a dozen waves of stone rain attacks, the front line of Shuiying was already a mess.
Ling Tong from the left camp took advantage of the enemy's reloading time to gallop over on his horse and rushed to the right camp to see Lu Meng.
"Ziming, the enemy's trebuchets are too dense. It's not possible to hold on like this. I think it's better for me to lead the navy to attack and fight Zhou Yu!"
Ling Tong couldn't stand being oppressed by the enemy in this way, and he was so angry that he wanted to go to war.
Lu Meng said in a deep voice: "You and I have both been Zhou Yu's subordinates. Don't you know his water warfare ability yet? He wants to force us to fight. As soon as our navy comes out, we will definitely?No doubt. "
"Otherwise, what else can we do? Are we just going to be beaten passively?" Ling Tong said angrily.
"The Lord's order is for us to stay here and hold back Zhou Yu's army. Then we have to stay here. Even if we stay to the last man, we must not go out to fight."
Lu Meng made a decision as the commander-in-chief.
Although Ling Tong was angry, he didn't dare to disobey the military order. He could only get on his horse, brave the rain of stones, and gallop towards his defense area.
The rain of stones is long and endless.
Before we knew it, it was almost dusk.
Wu Jun¡¯s stone bullet attacks gradually weakened because they had consumed almost all the stones.
Zhou Yu on the flagship looked at the dilapidated enemy camp from a distance and sneered: "L¨¹ Meng and Ling Tong, these two traitors, are very tolerant. They are unwilling to fight like this. Hum, if you don't come out, I will attack them." , let¡¯s see how you keep it.¡±
The archery tower in the water village has basically been destroyed, and Sergeant Yan's soldiers suffered heavy casualties. At this time, Zhou Yu was confident that his 30,000-strong army would be able to attack the enemy bank in one fell swoop.
Just when Zhou Yu was about to give the order, suddenly he heard the long and distant sound of the horn coming from the side and behind.
With a shock in his heart, Zhou Yu turned around and looked northwest.
But within the field of vision, at the end of the water that day, a fleet was speeding towards this side, taking advantage of the force of the current, like a flying dragon emerging from the water.
Gan Ning¡¯s fleet of vehicles and ships finally arrived at the last moment.
Zhou Yu¡¯s expression, which was originally determined to win, suddenly changed. (To be continued.
