Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Chapter 104: Intimidating the Enemy, Liu Feng Attacks Jiangjinkou for the Fourth Time
Drums beat, trumpets blew.

There is a large camp by the river with flags flying.

In the big tent.

The officers on both sides stood solemnly.

From the beginning when he led more than a thousand soldiers into Shangyong, the number of core officers in Liu Feng's army continued to increase during the war.

Until now.

There was a team from the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty: General Li Ping, Colonel Kou Anguo, Commandant Tian Qi, Military Marquis Fang Yue, Pan Feng, Yu She, and Mu Shun.

There are new recruits in Shangyong: Colonels Li Fu and Deng Xian.

There were those who originally served under Guan Yu and followed Liu Feng to fight in the snow: Captain Lu Yi, Guan Chong, Lin Sheng, Hu Yanshen, and Lu Zhuo.

There was Fan Cheng, the eldest son of Fan Jun, the governor of Wuling, and a clerk in his tent.

Except for Kou Anguo who was ordered to go to Zigui to deliver the battle report and had not yet returned, the rest of the people were in the big tent.

Making Fan a clerk in front of the tent was an exchange of interests between Liu Feng and Fan Jun.

Fan Jun was responsible for raising troops to Linyuan and providing food and supplies to Liu Feng, while Liu Feng led Fan Jun to achieve military merits.

Although Fan Ju and Ma Su are both empty-talking officials who "think they are the best in the world when it comes to governing the country, but are a mess when it comes to handling practical matters", Fan Ju is better than Ma Su in that:

Ma Su would be dissatisfied with the governor of Yuexi for being too harsh and want to be transferred back to Chengdu, and would abandon his army and flee when he saw the situation was not good. Fan Jun knew that he could not defeat Sun Quan but still raised his army and was determined to die even if he was defeated.

This is exactly why Liu Feng valued Fan Jun.

It doesn't matter what the dishes are. The world is originally a makeshift team. As long as you put them in the right positions and have more experience, they will always shine in the fields they are good at.

The key point is: whether you have the courage to face difficulties and whether you have the perseverance to stick to the end.

Since ancient times, heroes have not been judged by their success or failure. For example, although Chongzhen was a mediocre and incompetent king, he was respected by later generations because he was hanged on Coal Hill.

Therefore.

Liu Feng would send troops to kill the former prefect of Wuling and temporarily replace him with Fan Jun as the prefect of Wuling. He would also agree to Fan Jun's request to bring his eldest son Fan Cheng into the army as a clerk.

Compared to Fan Jun who was the only one who could rule the country, Fan Cheng was calmer and more humble than his father.

Liu Feng was already short of clerks, and Deng Fan, the chief clerk recruited by Shangyong, was not around. Dong Hui returned to Guan Yu, and with Fan Cheng helping to handle military affairs, it would also reduce Liu Feng's military pressure.

Except Fan Cheng.

Li Ping also brought Pei Qing with him when he returned from Jinkou, Gong'an.

This big man from Nanyang, who had been depressed and wanted to desert several times because of the rumor that "Liu Feng was killed by Sun Quan", was so excited that he couldn't speak after seeing Liu Feng.

Liu Feng also learned this from Li Ping.

Guan Yu's ability to counterattack Gong'an was closely related to Pei Qing's timely arrival in Wulin to pass on information.

If Pei Qing had not passed on the information in a timely manner, Guan Yu would not have been able to make an effective judgment.

Even if he did not believe the rumor spread by Jiang Qin and others on the cloth strips on the arrows that "Liu Feng was killed by Sun Quan", it was impossible for Guan Yu to make a quick decision to counterattack Gong'an.

One day earlier or later, victory or defeat may become completely opposite.

In other words, the series of deployments formulated by Sun Quan and his military officials in Jiangling City were greatly reduced in effectiveness due to the timely transmission of intelligence by Pei Qing.

In this regard, Pei Qing made great contributions.

Liu Feng has always been clear about rewards and punishments.

Merits must be rewarded and crimes must be punished.

Taking into account Pei Qing's ability to command troops, Liu Feng commended Pei Qing for his hard work and promoted him to the position of garrison commander, temporarily placing him under the command of the personal guard commander Tian Qi.

Although the military rank of a tunzhang is not much higher than that of a shizhang, if this tunzhang belongs to Liu Feng's personal guard, his status will be completely different.

Pei Qing was also very happy about this arrangement.

Being able to become the captain of Liu Feng’s guard, will his future be bright?

From Pei Qing, Liu Feng gained a new understanding of the military and civilian situation in Jiangling City during this period of time.

For example: Lu Meng never showed up after he became critically ill. Even when Sun Quan pretended to hold a funeral for Liu Feng in Jiangling City, he did not see Lu Meng. No one knew whether he was alive or dead.

For example, the false news that "Liu Feng has been beheaded by Sun Quan" caused panic in the people of Jiangling City, and many officials and civilians fainted from crying while attending Liu Feng's funeral.

For example: Sun Quan's officers and soldiers borrowed money and food from wealthy families in the city. It is unknown whether it was Sun Quan's secret instructions.

and many more.

In the last ten days or so.

Liu Feng had been busy winning over the anti-Wu heroes in southern Jing. In addition, the Jiangjinkou was blocked by Sun Quan's heavy troops, so Liu Feng had almost no understanding of the military situation and civilian sentiment in Jiangling City.

Thinking of the officials like Wang Fu, the spies like Wang Dang and other righteous men in Jiangling City who refused to surrender to Sun Quan and were tormented by rumors, Liu Feng could not help but sigh: It is my fault that I have made these righteous men suffer!

Simultaneously.

Liu Feng also felt more annoyed.

Originally, Liu Feng only planned to feint an attack on Jiangjinkou and cooperate with Guan Yu to capture Gong'an.

But when he thought of the righteous men in Jiangling City suffering from rumors, Liu Feng could not suppress his anger.

Feint?

Damn it, it’s just a feint!
I, Liu Feng, the Deputy General of the Han Army, must attack with force!
"Generals, listen to my orders."

A steady and clear voice sounded.

All the generals in the tent looked solemn.

Liu Feng glanced at everyone and issued military orders one after another in an orderly manner:

"Lu Yi, Guan Chong, listen to my order. You two lead 20 fishing boats, prepare reeds, oil, cinnabar, orpiment, calomel, aconite, and croton, and head straight to the mouth of Jiangjin. Anchor to the northwest. Burn the boats in the favorable wind and lead the smoke into the mouth of the river."

"Lin Sheng, Hu Yanshen, and Lu Zhuo, listen to my orders. Each of you three will lead a large ship, each with 300 archers and crossbowmen, and head straight for the Jiangjinkou. Light a fire as a signal, and fire your bows and crossbows simultaneously. Don't stop attacking until all your arrows are exhausted."

"Li Ping, listen to my order. You lead 20 small boats, put three drummers and three flag soldiers on each boat, and sail back and forth on the river. I want you to use 20 boats to create the momentum of 200 boats!"

"Fang Yue, Pan Feng, Yu She, and Mu Shun, listen to my orders. The four of you will lead the remaining small boats to guard the left and right sides of the flag ship and anchor them at the rear to be used in emergencies."

"Li Fu, Deng Xian, listen to my orders. You two stay in the camp and prepare hot soup and food."

"."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Especially Li Ping.

When preparing fireboats before, they only used reeds and oil. This is a common fireboat.

This time, Liu Feng wanted to add cinnabar, orpiment, talcum powder, aconite, and croton.

This is not just a fire ship. Inhaling the smoke produced by the burning will cause coughing at the mildest and suffocation at the worst. It is usually only used in specific battlefield environments.

After all, smoke is different from fire. Once the wind blows, the smoke may blow towards you.

If it is not used properly, the enemy will not be burned, but a large number of our own people will be knocked unconscious first.

I am scared.

Li Ping became more excited.

If someone else wanted to use him in this way, Li Ping would definitely advise against it. The person who could be used was Liu Feng, and Li Ping had absolute trust in him.

Under Liu Feng's calm command, all the generals and officers led large and small warships and crossed the river in a mighty force, heading straight for Jiangjinkou.

The main general guarding Jiangjinkou now is Song Qian, a brave general under Sun Quan's guard, and he has three brave officers in the army, Xian Yudan, Xu Zhong, and Sun Gui as deputy generals.

Song Qian is a veteran of the same generation as Han Dang, and was one of the thirteen cavalrymen who followed Sun Ce when he challenged Taishi Ci.

Xian Yudan, Xu Zhong and Sun Gui also followed Lu Meng to attack the three counties, and they all had considerable experience in the army.

Just as Guan Yu expected.

Sun Quan did not dare to mobilize heavy troops from Jiangling, Gong'an and Lukou to encircle and suppress Guan Yu because he was afraid of Liu Feng.

Compared to when Han Dang was here.

In addition to Song Qian's four generals, Sun Quan also deployed 10,000 soldiers at Jiangjinkou!

Although one third of them were surrendered soldiers, Sun Quan did not dare to be careless about the number of troops.

Not only that, Sun Quan also ordered the four men to build a large number of defensive fortifications such as watchtowers, arrow towers, earth ramparts, fences, etc. at the mouth of the Jiangjin River, and buried a large number of deer antlers in the shallow water.

The military order given to Song Qian was also "Defend the Jiangjinkou and you will win."

A turtle attitude that says, "As long as I defend tightly, you have no chance of defeating me."

Sun Quan has made up his mind to imitate Cao Ren's tortoise tactics.

Jiang Qin, Sun Jiao and Quan Cong who dragged the enemy to Lukou captured Guan Yu alive or drove him back to Han River, or they dragged the enemy to Yidu where Lu Xun defeated Meng Da in Zigui, and then gathered a large force to fight Liu Feng to decide the outcome.

If three thousand people are not enough, then let’s try thirty thousand.

If 30,000 people are not enough, then use the entire army to attack.

However, Sun Quan's good luck seemed to have been used up in the surprise attack on Jiangling.

This time.

Not only did Sun Quan have poor plans, he also had bad luck.

In order to make the officials and civilians in Jiangling believe that Liu Feng was dead, Sun Quan deliberately opened the city gates to allow free entry and exit, but this indirectly led to Pei Qing going to Wulin to report the news.

Dong Hui wanted to live and die with Liu Feng, so he returned in time after delivering the letter for Liu Feng. However, he happened to meet Pei Qing, who was so depressed that he wanted to desert, on the way.

After Pei Qing arrived in Wulin in time and passed the information about Jiangling to Guan Yu, he happened to meet Jiang Qin, Sun Jiao and Quan Cong who came to shoot arrows and told Guan Yu that "Liu Feng has been beheaded", which indirectly helped Guan Yu to see through Sun Quan's conspiracy.

Afterwards, he launched a surprise counterattack on Gong'an, which happened to coincide with the time when Li Ping had been harassing Sun Huan for more than ten days. This gave Guan Yu the opportunity to defeat Sun Huan in one battle.

As a result, now, Sun Huan and Zhuge Jin were besieged by Guan Yu in Gong'an City together, with all the water and land routes blocked, and even a messenger asking for help could not escape!
Seeing that the situation suddenly became favorable, Liu Feng decisively prepared to attack Jiangjinkou for the fourth time.

The battlefield is so wonderful.

Man accounts for half of the calculation, and God accounts for the other half.

Whoever can calculate more cleverly and has better luck will be able to seize the opportunity of winning first.

Jiangjinkou.

Wu Bing in the sentry tower yawned, rubbed his eyes which had dark circles under them, and muttered something. Judging from Wu Bing's expression, it was definitely not something good.

Just when Wu Bing was about to find a comfortable position to take a nap, he suddenly looked blankly at the river.

As if he was dazzled, Wu Bing rubbed his eyes heavily again.

next moment.

Wu Bing's face changed drastically and he struck the gong "bang bang bang bang".

The alarm sounded.

The captain Xu Zhong who was in charge of patrolling Jiangjinkou today quickly came to the riverside with archers.

Look at this efficiency, it’s obvious that he trains a lot every day.

But when he saw the fireship coming with the wind from the northwest and the thick smoke drifting towards Jiangjinkou, Xu Zhong's face turned pale.

"Quick, prepare a wet cloth!"

Xu Zhong obviously also had experience with the thick smoke from fireships.

However, before the military order was fully conveyed, Xuzhou saw three large ships appearing in the direction.

Extremely fast!

"Drummers, beat the drums and blow the trumpets!"

Xu Zhong's shouting became sharper.

There was no need to guess, Xuzhou knew who was attacking.

Apart from Liu Feng on the other side of the river, Xu Zhong couldn't think of anyone else!
Liu Feng is now quite famous.

He captured Quan Cong and Pan Zhang, defeated Ding Feng, Xu Sheng and Ma Zhong, and even killed Han Dang in the snow.

The civil and military officials under Sun Quan's command turned pale when they heard the name "Liu Feng".

even.

When Sun Quan first asked Song Qian to be the chief general, Song Qian pretended to be sick. After Sun Quan pointed out the problem, he had no choice but to come.

After receiving the encouragement and warning, Song Qian did not dare to hesitate for a moment, and hurriedly brought Xian Yudan, Sun Gui and other captains to the riverside to supervise the battle.

However, what greeted Song Qian.

In addition to the billowing smoke, there were also a large number of arrows.

"Is Liu Feng crazy?"

"Does he really think he can break through Jiangjinkou?"

"I have ten thousand people!"

Caught off guard by a powerful attack, Song Qian was obviously furious.

Lin Sheng, Hu Yanshen and Lu Zhuo didn't care what Song Qian was thinking.

The three of them only knew that Liu Feng’s military order was: Don’t stop attacking until all the arrows are gone!
The continuous powerful attack made Song Qian feel both frustrated and horrified.

Flags were flying back and forth on the river and drums were beating in many places, making it difficult for Song Qian to judge how many people had come.

"How could Liu Feng have such a big momentum with only dozens of ships and thousands of people?"

"Could it be that Liu Feng gathered the soldiers of Wuling County, so he waited for more than ten days before attacking Jiangjinkou?"

Thinking of this possibility, Song Qian's face changed again, and he no longer had the confidence that "I have ten thousand people"!

"Sun Gui, send someone to Jiangling City immediately and ask the Supreme to send troops for support!"

　Regarding the reincarnation of Lao Deng, the protagonist and Guan Yu's team member, the author is essentially afraid that he will not be able to remember the extras after giving them a name.

　　After all, the protagonist is a man who has to command tens of thousands of troops, and it is impossible that there are only two or three historical celebrities.

　　Guan Yu could not rely on just a few celebrities to guard Jingzhou.

　　Those who are recorded in the Records of the Three Kingdoms, such as Li Ping, Li Fu, Deng Xian, Guan Ping, Wang Fu, Zhao Lei, Liao Hua, Su Fei, Dong Hui, Fan Jun and Xi Zhen, will be used as historical figures.

　　Those who are not recorded are the reincarnations of Lao Deng. Of course, don't expect them to be very powerful. Just regard them as a group of second- and third-rate civil and military officials.
