Chapter 2878 Water and Fire, Old-fashioned Strategy(1/2)
Huang Gai couldn't understand why the crossbows on the hill had such high accuracy. Even if they secretly pulled out the water obstacles at night, they would be hit after several rounds of calibration. Although being hit by the hull may not necessarily lead to many casualties, as long as one stone bomb was hit, the ship was basically not far from being scrapped.
Several soldiers in Jiangdong died, even dozens, hundreds, and thousands of people. When necessary, Huang Gai would not even blink his eyes, but if he lost a few or dozens of ships, Huang Gai would feel so painful.
It's not that human life is cheap...
Well, this era is indeed even cheaper.
Well, in the feudal era, life was cheap.
Of course Huang Gai would not admit this. He just said that if the ship was damaged too seriously, what would the next road be? Could it be that if we didn’t take the boat, we would take the land route and climb over the hills to fish again?
Therefore, if you can avoid losing the ship, try not to lose the ship.
This is a major premise.
Then, set the fire!
The autumn is clear and cool, and it is a good time to set fire.
Setting fires, even obsessed with setting fires, is generally because humans' own desire for self-destruction is at work, just like destroying a sand castle that has been piled up on the beach for a long time.
Destruction is always easier than construction.
Yesterday, the wind stopped.
Huang Gai didn't dare to move.
He needs a exact direction of wind, or if the fire is halfway through, the wind will start to blow again. Wouldn't he shoot himself in the foot?
You should know that ships are also afraid of fire...
By this afternoon, the wind direction finally changed.
Huang Gai looked at the flying flags on the boat, smiling so hard that all the wrinkles on his face bloomed.
To set fire, first, prepare some small butter, secondly, prepare some paper, and finally find a hidden place to start rubbing...
Um?
Why does something seem to be wrong?
That's right, most people who like to set fire are not right anyway.
In order not to alarm the people of Sichuan and Sichuan in advance, Huang Gai issued a ban order, and no one was allowed to speak loudly. If the Sichuan and Sichuan soldiers were scared away, wouldn’t the fire be released in vain?
The strategy of setting fire is an old routine.
The ancient primitive people set a fire to compete with wild animals for territory.
Zhou of Shang also set a fire, but it was himself.
Anyone can set fire, the key is to use it in place.
The routine howling of the Sichuan and Shu army began, Huang Gai sat on the building boat and listened quietly.
Originally, these ghost screams made Huang Gai feel a splitting headache, but for some reason, it sounded very pleasant tonight.
Yes, just shouting, it's a throat breaking after waiting...
In order not to be disturbed, the Jiangdong Army retreated to the other side of the shore at night, facing the Sichuan and Shu Army on the hilltop of the north bank by water. There are also temporary camps on the shore, which are usually used to cook food during the day. After all, although you can also cook food on the boat, it is not convenient and safe enough. At the same time, people are not aquatic creatures, and they still need land, and they need to get off the boat from time to time to move.
In the area of Qiting, the two sides are steep, and it is not like you can find larger flat land by the water west of Yidao, so you can only take turns to go ashore to repair it.
Huang Gai and other Sichuan soldiers who were in the dark had retreated. After the fourth field fell into silence again, he stood up and began to order.
First prepare some small butter...
Well, I was wrong, I moved some ships as quietly as possible first.
Even if the wind blows north now, who can guarantee that the wind will not turn when it is halfway through, or will the flying Mars ignite the mountains and forests on the south bank? Therefore, the safest way is to naturally stay away from the two sides as much as possible, so that the river water becomes an isolation belt that blocks flames and Mars.
The key is that after the wildfire starts, even if a small number of Sichuan and Sichuan escape, Huang Gai can remove those disgusting obstacles as soon as possible and chase them directly!
This is how you can vent your hatred in your heart!
After the fleet had entered a safe range, Huang Gai ordered someone to take the ferry and head towards the north shore with the objects that led to the fire.
For a moment, everyone from Jiangdong was waiting with breath...
Come on, let's make a move.
Speaking of Fei Qian...
Forget it, let’s see Zhuge.
Zhuge is also in the transition.
After the wind direction changed, Zhuge Liang changed his direction.
Shamoke didn't understand very much. He even thought Zhuge Liang had a head problem?
It is obvious that you have an advantage, why should you retreat?
Zhuge Liang was still smiling and didn't explain much.
Shamoke could only retreat with a muttering voice, and honestly followed the Sichuan soldiers.
Shamoke is the leader of the Wuling Mountain Barbarians, and he is the leader who is willing to come out to see the world. From a certain perspective, Shamoke is already very good. After all, most people in the Nanyue Mountain Barbarians only want to stay in a certain area forever and stay in the mountain village to be the local emperor for the rest of their lives.
But walking out of the forest does not mean that you can immediately wash away your old habits.
Originally, Shamoke was in Wuling, at least within his own clan, and he was the only one who was in Sichuan and Shu, but when he arrived, he became a younger brother, from ordering others to following others' orders, this kind of role change could not be fully adapted in one or two days, especially when Shamoke had some of his younger brothers following him, sometimes it was inevitable that Shamoke could not determine his own position.
If an ordinary person or is not patient, he will most likely take a direct high pressure state in this case. Regardless of whether there is a preliminary preparation or not, whether it is a younger brother or a younger brother, he will just press down anyway.
By chance, Zhuge Liang was patient enough.
After all, Zhuge Liang is still young, and he has plenty of time to adjust... to adjust Shamoko. The way he adjusts Shamoko is to let Shamoko watch from the side, and then wait until Shamoko really can't figure it out before he will give a few words.
After all, in Lushan, Pang Degong treated Fei Qian and others, including Zhuge Liang, in this way. Only the answers obtained by people after thinking hard will be particularly profound.
The flames quickly broke the tranquility of the night.
Under the blowing of the south wind, the flames ignited from the riverside climbed up the forest almost in a blink of an eye, and then quickly attacked upwards from the foot of the mountain, illuminating the sky with red color!
Seeing this scene, Shamoko was stunned and then many question marks appeared on his head.
Zhuge Liang ignored Shamoko and did not stop because of the rising fire in the rear.
If nothing unexpected happens, Huang Gai will soon notice the flaw...
Zhuge Liang must be in a hurry.
When you look at the mountain, you will die from horses, especially when walking in mountains without roads, you will have great requirements for physical strength and endurance. Fortunately, the soldiers arranged by Zhuge Liang in the early days not only cut down vines and thorns in advance, but also somehow they have made a way out, but more importantly, they leave marks not far away to avoid accidentally losing their direction.
The river channel is curved. When Zhuge Liang walked down the mountain, he naturally reached the edge of the river channel.
On one side of the river, a Sichuan and Shu soldiers were pushing a boat into the river. When they saw Zhuge Liang coming, they went forward to salute.
Zhuge Liang waved his hand, "Move faster, otherwise he might run away."
"Yes!" The soldiers of Sichuan and Shu immediately accelerated their movements.
Shamoko was stunned, "Entertainment, what are you...doing?"
Just a few small boats are going to fight Huang Gaijun?
No?
Or just ran away like that?
Shamoke was stunned, but Zhuge Liang got on the boat, turned around, and then showed a row of shining teeth in the night, "What's wrong, Captain Sha? Are you planning to stay here?"
"Oh, oh..." Shamoko quickly boarded the boat, but saw a lot of things seemingly placed in the cabin of the boat, "Uh...what is this?"
Shamoke subconsciously wanted to find a torch left and right to check it out, but he suddenly found that everyone holding the torch was on the shore. After Zhuge Liang and others got on the boat, he immediately immersed the torch into the water and then got on the boat.
Shamoke suddenly felt a little strange in his heart, as if he was leaning against the mouth of the black bear's cave, and then some terrifying breaths came out of the hole...
"Well, be careful, that's tinder oil." Zhuge Liang said in a very calm tone, "Be careful not to get it."
"Ah!" Shamoko was shocked. He had seen tinea oil and knew how powerful this thing was. He also saw clearly that the rows of tinea oil in the cabin were cans of tinea oil. "This... so many?!"
The boat swayed and left the shore.
The clay pots collided slightly, making a creepy sound.
Shamoko widened his eyes, stared at the clay pots in the cabin, and clamped his hands tightly at the boat gang. He decided that if there was anything wrong with it, he would immediately turn over and jump.
Although he is a mountain Yue from Wuling, he still knows how many dog-padding styles are...
Zhuge Liang stood at the bow of the boat, and not far behind him was following four other boats.
Five small boats swayed down with the water flowing downwards, gradually passing by the river berth, and the light gradually became brighter in front of them.
The fire is already very big.
Jumping flames engulf the bushes and dance happily on the treetops.
The rolling black smoke roared upwards, spreading its teeth and claws in the air.
Zhuge Liang looked at it and waved his hand.
The boat gradually stopped, then supported it with a bamboo pole and swayed slightly horizontally.
To be continued...
