Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 243

Cao Cao stationed in Xinye and called all the generals to discuss the war.

Cao Cao said: "Although I gathered [-] troops to rescue Jingzhou this time, I have no way to deal with Zhang Yi's navy. If we can't defeat the navy on the Han River, we will have to wait a month or two. The dry season is forced to pass, and our casualties will be very heavy."

Xiahoudun said: "Go south and go north, this is the law of nature. My lord can only deal with Zhang Yi's water army slowly."

Guo Jia said: "It is difficult to deal with the navy on the Han River and the river, but the navy on the Yi River is easy to deal with!"

Everyone immediately looked over, wanting to hear what he could do.

Holding a feather fan in his hand, Guo Jia pointed to the direction of the water and said, "As long as the water is cut off and the water level drops, the ships will run aground. If the enemy doesn't retreat, they will definitely be in our hands."

When everyone thinks about it, this is also true.Water is needed to sail a boat, and without water, the boat cannot move!
Cao Cao nodded, "Then first defeat the navy in the Fei River, and then find a way to deal with the navy on the Han River. In this way, Yu Jin, you go to cut off the Fei River. Xiahou Dun and Zhang Xiu, you two sailors to monitor Zhang Yi's navy, it is best If one or two ships can be captured, I want the strong crossbow on the ship!"

When Cao Cao said the last sentence, he was already gnashing his teeth.When they were attacked by Su Fei at the beginning, they lost nearly a hundred people in one fell swoop.

This is not a battle, but the beginning of an attack.If it weren't for Cao Cao's distance, maybe he would have been threatened.The attack range of the crossbow is too large, three or four hundred steps!If there is such a strong crossbow, Cao Cao can guarantee that the north can be pacified soon, because this distance can suppress the city wall without the need for a well fence.

Knowing that Zhang Yi has a strong crossbow, Cao Cao seemed to get it immediately.Cao Cao has been paying attention to Zhang Yi for a long time, knowing that he has many secret weapons, he also sent people to steal the production methods of these weapons, but all failed.Later, Cao Cao also wanted to buy some people, and wanted to find out where these secrets were kept. As a result, those who knew these secrets kept their mouths shut. Cao Cao's spies lost more than ten people, and hundreds of thousands of money were wasted!
It can be said that Cao Cao has been coveting these new weapons for a long time, not only the crossbow, but also Zhang Yi's other weapon making techniques, such as the spear and the ring-shou knife.

The plan was decided, and Yu Jin began to intercept the water in the upper reaches of the Feishui River.The flow of water in the Qishui River is not turbulent. In less than half a day, Yu Jin completed the embankment. The embankment was piled from both ends, and then the gap in the middle was blocked, and the river embankment was completed.

Su Fei was cruising on the water, when suddenly a soldier came to report: "General, the water in the river is decreasing!"

"What?" Su Fei was very surprised. He quickly walked to the side of the boat, watching the water level drop, he immediately raised his head and shouted: "Retreat! Get out of the water!"

"General! What's the matter?" The soldier asked in confusion.

"The enemy is intercepting the water level!" Su Fei shouted loudly: "Retreat quickly, don't stop for a moment, those who cannot retreat must destroy the ballista before abandoning the ship!"

Following Su Fei's order, the fleet immediately moved.But it was too late, the water level was falling faster than the boats retreated, and boats kept running aground.The stranded ship, according to Su Fei's order, immediately destroyed the ballista on the ship, took the necessary supplies, then set fire to the ship, and abandoned the ship ashore.

"Kill!" A large number of Cao soldiers suddenly appeared on both sides of the strait. Xiahou Dun and Zhang Xiu came out from both sides, leading the army to strangle these navy troops.

Su Fei discovered this situation on the ship and knew that this was the enemy's strategy.He once again ordered, "Prepare the ballista and cover the friendly forces!"

The ships that hadn't run aground immediately adjusted their ballistas and shot arrows at Xiahou Dun and Zhang Xiu's troops.At the beginning, Xiahou Dun and Zhang Xiu were indeed apprehensive, but as ships ran aground and ballistas were destroyed, the threat became less and less.

The ungrounded boats also went far away, and after retreating into the Han River, there were only a dozen or so boats left.The boat that Su Fei was in also ran aground when he was about to reach Hanshui. After destroying the ballista, he also abandoned the boat and left.

The place where Su Fei abandoned the ship was not far from Liu Yuanjing's camp, so he led his people to retreat towards Liu Yuanjing's camp.

Xiahou Dun and Zhang Xiu chased the soldiers who came ashore for more than ten miles, but they didn't wipe them all out.Both Xiahou Dun and Zhang Xiu were out of breath, but the enemy was still retreating!

Xiahou Dun rode to Zhang Xiu's side, "How did your brother train you to become a soldier?"

Zhang Xiu was also stunned, he never thought that his former little brother would have such soldiers.If he had such soldiers back then, maybe he wouldn't have surrendered to Cao Cao?It is meaningless to think about these things, he is doing well now, he is not destined to be the lord at all, nor does he have the ambition to be the lord.

"He didn't show such ability at the beginning!" Zhang Xiu guessed: "Maybe he has some capable people under him? He doesn't know how to train soldiers himself."

Xiahou Dun shook his head: "According to the information from my lord, these people are trained according to the "Strengthening Military Training Code" written by Zhang Yi. Even if there is a difference, it will not be too big!"

Zhang Xiu glanced at him, wondering what he meant by that?
Seeing that Zhang Xiu was puzzled, Xia Houdun said, "It is said that the "Strength Soldiers Exercise Code" pays special attention to endurance. If we continue to chase and kill like this, we may be dragged down by them. Let's go back, look at those warships, and get the strong crossbow. That's the most important thing!"

Zhang Xiu thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes! I think we should hurry up, what if the enemy destroys the crossbow?"

Xiahou Dun felt that what he said made sense, and immediately said: "Then we will retreat immediately!"

Zhang Xiu said: "We will divide into two groups, and look south along the Fei River. There should be quite a few boats."

"Okay! Let's go look for it first. I'll look south!" Xiahou Dun said calmly.

Zhang Xiu took a meaningful look at Xiahou Dun, and then agreed.He understood Xiahoudun's thoughts, he was afraid that he would go directly to Zhang Yi.But he didn't know, he didn't know if Zhang Yi could still miss his old feelings when he treated Zhang Yi like that.Zhang Xiu himself did not report too much hope for taking refuge in Zhang Yi, not to mention the words that those loyal ministers did not serve two masters, even if Cao Cao treated him well, he would not just take refuge in Zhang Yi at will.

The brothers have to settle accounts clearly!He treats Zhang Yi as a waste, and Zhang Yi must have a grudge against him.If he took refuge in the past and Zhang Yi chopped him off with a single knife, would he be wronged?
