Sanjiangkou, Zhou Yu's water camp.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were having a discussion.
Zhou Yu said, "Today is the day Lu Family and Yuan Xi agreed to surrender. Yuan Xi's iron chain connected the boats, crossing Jiangnan. I ordered my elite troops to disguise themselves as Lu Family's private troops, with more than twenty fast boats piled high with firewood and kerosene, but pretended to be grain ships. When they get close to the enemy, they will set them on fire and the hundreds of thousands of Yuan Xi soldiers will be eaten. "
Sun Ce said excitedly, "Today the weather is good, the southeast wind is strong. After burning the Yuan Xi army, we will lead the navy to chase and kill Yuan Xi. Then we will conquer the central plains and the world will be ours. "
The two of them raised their wine cups and drank, looking at each other and laughing.
Suddenly someone came to report that Zhang He and Jia Xu led the troops from Jingzhou's Lingling County to attack Luling.
Sun Ce frowned, "How many troops does Zhang He have?"
The person said, "Looking at the banners, there are 30 to 50 thousand."
Zhou Yu said, "This must be a fake number. Lingling, Luling, the mountains and rivers are dangerous and difficult to traverse. It is not suitable for an army to attack. If it was, why would Yuan Xi give up his advantage and use his navy to fight with me? "
Zhou Yu's words were not false.
The route that Bai Xiaowen arranged for Zhang He and Jia Xu was south of Changjiang, so they did not need to cross the river.
However, it was not suitable for an army to spread out. This was also the truth.
The person who had once taken this path to attack Wu was Emperor Liu's uncle, who was known as Liu Zhibing along with Sun Baiyi and was nicknamed Liu Zhibing. At that time, Liu Bei wanted to take revenge for his second brother and sent hundreds of thousands of troops to flatten Jiangnan.
However, he neglected the fact that the terrain was rugged and the forest was lush, which was not suitable for an army to spread out. Lu Xun was guarding the mouth of the river, so he could not advance. In addition, the heat was unbearable, so he had no choice but to set up camp in the forest.
The camp stretched for 700 miles, so one could see how bad the terrain Liu Bei was in. Later, Lu Xun set fire and defeated Liu Bei, which greatly damaged the strength of Shu Han. Otherwise, Zhuge Liang's attack on Wei could have been brought forward by at least five years, and they would not have so many troops.
Sun Ce asked, "Gongjin, Luling is also an important place for our army, we must not lose it. I heard that Zhang He was a long-time general of the Yuan Army. Jia Xu's vicious plan to burn down the city in Hefei is not simple. "
Zhou Yu said, "I estimate that Zhang He's army has at most ten to twenty thousand men. Luling is easy to defend and hard to attack; we only need to send a general to lead a small number of elite troops to defend the city. "
Therefore, Zhou Yu sent Han Dang and Zhou Tai, two generals, to lead three thousand elite soldiers to guard Luling.
…
Bai Xiaowen stood on the deck of the ship, his hand on the Heavenly Sword, surrounded by a group of civil and military officials.
The ship was stabilized by iron chains, breaking through the waves without any bumps.
When they reached the center of the river, a scout on a speedboat came to report, "There are more than twenty speedboats ahead. They are all flying white flags and riding the wind."
At this moment, Bai Xiaowen could already see a line of black dots ahead. They were all Dong Yue Wu ships.
Someone said, "This must be the surrendering ship of the Lu family of Jiangdong. The Lu family made an agreement with the king to rob Jiangdong's grain. They did not let us down. "
Bai Xiaowen looked up at the sky and calculated the time. He smiled, "Let them come."
When the ships came close, Xun You suddenly said, "King, be careful. There must be a trap. If it is a grain ship, it must be deep in the water; this ship is shallow, it is definitely not a grain ship. The southeast wind is unusually strong today. If they are hiding something, the consequences will be unimaginable. "
While they were talking, the bow of the ship suddenly caught fire. In the blink of an eye, the twenty plus speedboats became twenty plus fire ships!
At the same time, small boats were lowered from the ships. The Sun family's elite soldiers jumped onto the boats and escaped.
A general shouted from the small boat, "Yuan Xi has fallen into the Zhou family's trap!"
The twenty plus fire ships rode the southeast wind and sailed toward the Yuan army's ship.
While the Yuan family's civil and military officials were panicking, the southeast wind suddenly stopped. The sky turned dark and the temperature plummeted. It was as if they had returned to the middle of winter from the third month of spring.
In the blink of an eye, the flags that were originally pointing to the northwest all pointed to the southeast.
A north wind came from the northwest and blew like a knife!
The twenty or so unmanned fire ships were blown by the north wind and actually headed southeast along the way.
The Yuan army's generals were overjoyed.
"The wind direction has changed, destiny is in Yan's hands!"
"The wind direction has changed, destiny is in Yan's hands!"
"The wind direction has changed, destiny is in Yan's hands!"
No one knew who started it, but the Yuan army's generals were influenced and started to shout.
Even Han Meng, who lacked strategy, could see the key point of the wind direction change. If the southeast wind blew the fire ships over, they would definitely suffer a huge defeat!
Now, not only did the southeast wind stop, but it also changed to the northwest wind. The Jiangdong navy's fire was smashing their own feet and was about to burn down their own water stronghold!
The concept of destiny was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people during the Three Kingdoms era.
Back then, when Zhuge Liang burned Sima Yi in the valley, the heavens rained.
To Zhuge Liang, this was an even heavier psychological blow. It made him sigh, "Man proposes, God disposes. It cannot be forced." He understood that the mandate of heaven was not in Shu Han, but in the north. To be more precise, the mandate of heaven was in the Sima family.
Bai Xiaowen received a notification:
"Due to the timing, the morale of your troops has increased by 20 points, and they have entered an excited state. Attack speed and movement speed have increased by 20%!"
"Due to the influence of destiny, the loyalty of your strategists and generals has increased by 20 points (hidden); the loyalty of your people has increased by 10 points (hidden). The hidden increase in loyalty will take effect after they know about the destiny. "
A smile appeared on Bai Xiaowen's face.
He used the Mountain River Geographical Map, spent 10,000 Psionic Energy Points, and used the Prayer function to borrow a northern wind.
His goal was not as simple as defeating Zhou Yu. He also wanted to use this chance to prove to the natives that destiny was in his hands!
Including the person who shouted "destiny is in Yan's hands", it was all arranged by Bai Xiaowen.
With this proof, when Bai Xiaowen accepted the Han Emperor's abdication, the resistance would be reduced by more than half.
However, that was a matter for the future. The most important thing now was to cross Jiangnan and take down Sun Ce and Zhou Yu!
Bai Xiaowen pulled out the Heavenly Sword and shouted, "Destiny is in my hands! Speed up the river and attack the water stronghold! Whoever kills Sun Ce will be rewarded ten thousand silver and promoted by three ranks! "
The Northern Army raised their sails and rode the north wind as they flew down south.
The Dong Yue Wu elite soldiers who were burning the boats were stunned when they saw this scene. The leading general was Huang Gai. When he saw the Yuan army charging over, he did not dare to fight and retreated on a speedboat.
Cecilia looked at the distance and shot out a sniper arrow, shooting Huang Gai into the water. The other boats were in chaos as they tried to escape.
Soon, Bai Xiaowen's turreted boat saw the navy from Jiangdong. Originally, the navy was prepared to take advantage of the fire to beat them down. But now, they had to face more than twenty fire boats.
