Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 652 Da Ding
With a few "bangs", the burning fireboat hit the building boat, and the flames shot up into the sky. With the help of the northwest wind, the building boat also ignited a big fire.

Soon, the fire spread to the deck, and the soldiers of Wu Jun's navy jumped from the boat into the river in panic, with a constant thumping sound.

The sailors on the burning building abandoned the ship, and the unmanned ship went down the wind and the current, and bumped into the rescue boat going against the wind. With a "bang", the boat capsized in the Han River, the boat was destroyed and people died.

The big ship was burned, and the connection between the rear and the front and middle parts was severed. Zhuge Ke, the vanguard, was still heading south, while Lu Xun of the Chinese army hurriedly drove a small boat to rescue the two sides of the river, and the big ship continued to move forward. , to prevent the fire in the rear from spreading to the large ships of the Chinese army.

Lu Xun's approach is wise. The longer a large ship stays in a narrow river channel, the more dangerous it will be. It would be a good idea to let a small boat go up to support it, but he missed the idea of ​​the ships behind.

Because the building in front was on fire, the small ships of the rear fleet went around the middle channel and went southward on both sides of the channel, colliding with the small boats going northward.For a while, the ships on the Hanshui River were in chaos again.Now not only is the center of the river blocked, but the rivers on both sides are also blocked together.

Taking advantage of the victory, Wei Yan pursued and ordered the remaining four fishing boats to light up the beacons and crash into the small boats blocking the river.The hulls of the boats were connected, and the fire ignited, and under the blessing of the northwest wind, the boat was also ignited, and thick smoke was ignited.

From a distance, a large number of Wu Jun ships on the Hanshui River lost order, colliding with each other on the narrow river like bumper cars in a car accident on the highway.The ship that was already on fire passed the fire to another ship. The flammable planks and dry weather made it easy to ignite.

In an instant, the fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind helped the fire. The smoke on the river rose to the sky, and the black smoke shot straight into the sky.

Sun Quan, who had already traveled several miles, stood on the building boat, looked at the black smoke billowing behind him, took a deep breath, and murmured, "There is no way to escape the narrow waterway. Fortunately, the Shu people's navy is not strong, if they ambush the Chinese army, I'm afraid it will be in danger!"

After the whole battle, the resistance of the Soochow army was not strong, because Wei Yan let go of Lu Xun, Sun Quan, Zhuge Ke and other large fleets, and set fire to the rear.When the ship at the rear catches fire, it will not stop, but will be slammed downstream with the blessing of the wind and the water.

His bloody head was hanging on the long spear used by Wei Yan, and his long, broken hair was blowing in the wind.

Wei Yan nodded and asked, "How about beheading? Are there any prisoners?"

After pacing for a while, Wei Yan stopped, and said in a deep voice, "Today we will rest all night, and the whole army will go west to attack the center of the army. We will call on His Majesty for your merit."

At dusk, the sky was light, and there were countless corpses floating in the river. The bright red blood merged with the river water, and a large number of burned ships could be seen when looking around.

Wei Liang glanced into the distance and said, "Father, our army beheaded 500 people in this battle, captured 57 people, captured [-] warships and one building ship."

Today, he accompanied Sun Quan in the northern expedition to Xiangyang and served as the commander of the rear army. When Wei Yan was on fire, he came out in a small boat and shot Wei Yan with an arrow.However, Wei Yan's viciousness was aroused, and he directly ordered someone to come forward, and personally beheaded Sun Shao with a knife.

Wei Yan was sitting on a rock by the river, with his upper body naked, not afraid of the severe cold, and drinking wine with his head covered.The doctor beside him treated the arrow wound in his shoulder socket, dug out the bright red arrowhead from the shoulder, poured some golden sore medicine on the wound, tore off the clean cloth, and slowly bandaged it.

After finishing speaking, Wei Yan glanced at the surrounding scene, held the bow and arrow, and laughed loudly, quite majestic.

After this battle, if he still fights with Deng Ai and is a general of the Quartet, he will be ridiculed to death by Yang Yi.

The battle lasted from noon to the afternoon. Wei Yan ambushed the Wu army's return fleet, broke it with fireboats, and won a big victory.However, the idea of ​​capturing the ships was in vain. In this battle, the Han army only captured more than [-] ships, while more than [-] ships were burned.

Although Wei Yan has an arrogant personality, as Zhuge Liang's confidant general, he also has people close to him in the Chinese army.In a letter a few days ago, His Majesty wanted to promote Wang Ping to General Wei and Deng Ai to General Right, but there was no news of his own promotion.

But who is Deng Ai? When he was the general of Zhenyuan and the prefect of Hanzhong, he was just a pawn, but he was praised by the late emperor, and he was favored by his majesty and the prime minister to occupy a high position.

Sun Shao, courtesy name Gongli, was his uncle Sun He.During the period when he was guarding the prefect of Guangling, when Cao Pi went south, Sun Shao sent [-] soldiers who dared to die to attack Wei Wendi Cao Pi's army at night from the small road, so as to capture the cover of his chariot and return.During his more than ten years as a frontier general, he observed first and then acted, and he rarely failed.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Han army also fired their bows and arrows, and the soldiers of the Wu army in the boats were hit by arrows and fell into the water. The soldiers of the Han army on both sides of the bamboo raft held spears and poked at the soldiers swimming in the river.Immediately, blood overflowed from the Hanshui River, and screams kept coming and going.

This made Lu Xun and Sun Quan who wanted to rescue them dare not rescue at all, for fear that the burning ship would affect other ships of the Chinese army.Therefore, after sending small boats to rescue failed and blocked the entire river, Lu Xun and Sun Quan could only give up the idea of ​​rescue and follow the trend.

Wei Yan took the cloak handed over by his personal guard, and after comparing his performance with his own, he sighed: "Guan Junhou is indeed a god-man, Yan Furu is so far away!"

After a pause, Wei Yan stood up, paced back and forth, and said, "The results of the battle are not enough~"

Wei Yan stroked his beard and said: "If you add the previous thousand-odd prisoners of war, there will be about five thousand people."

……

This made Wei Yan a little anxious. Although Wang Ping was younger than him, his combat achievements were solid.Whether it was Longyou retreating Zhang Yun, or Liangzhou rushing to attack Zhang Yun, and pacifying Liangzhou's record, I was convinced.

But before he was happy, a sharp arrow came straight at Wei Yan.

At this time, the northwest wind was strong, the flames were soaring into the sky, and the black smoke was billowing, how could Wei Yan see it.In the middle of the shoulder, Wei Yan yelled and fell on the bamboo raft.

Not only Sun Quan was frightened, but Wei Yan was also frightened.Didn't he just want to block the river and seize the boats?Now there is a trend of burning boats.

After the treatment was over, Wei Yan's distorted face relaxed slightly. He stretched his arms, lifted them up, and lowered them down. Although there was some pain, it did not affect his movements.

Holding the wound, Wei Yan couldn't help but think of the rumor about Guan Yu, Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion. When he scraped the bone to heal the poison, he asked all the generals to drink.

The speed of the bamboo raft is not enough, nor can it fail to hit, but these shortcomings are perfectly avoided in the blocked Han River.Wei Yan stood before the bamboo raft, held a bow and arrow, bent the bow to the full, and shot Wu soldiers to death with one arrow.

A large number of bamboo rafts came out of the reeds, and the soldiers on the bamboo rafts held bows and crossbows and wore light armor, marching aggressively towards the river.

Wei Liang crossed his sword and came forward, clasped his hands and said, "Father, I have already asked clearly. The Wu general who was beheaded by my father was Dongwu Zhenbei General and Youzhou Shepherd Sun Shao. He belonged to the Eastern Wu clan and was quite brave."

Wei Yan steadied his horse, shot another arrow forward, and killed the general of the Wu army, and said with a smile: "I knew the fire boat was so powerful, and a certain person hit Sun Quan's big ship, and took Sun Quan's dog's life, how can I let him escape. "

Wei Yan didn't say much, but continued to sit on the rock, took water and pancakes, and ate. He was quite hungry after being injured and needed a lot of energy.

After treating the wound, Wei Yan looked around and saw that the soldiers were either supporting the bamboo rafts to clean the battlefield, or resting on the spot to replenish food.

However, Wei Yan, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, will not let go of such a good opportunity. He drew his sword and shouted: "Attack!"

"No!" Wei Liang responded and left.

Looking at the back of Wei Liang going away, Wei Yan also sighed.He is old, if he doesn't climb higher and earn some family property for his descendants, he is afraid that if he leaves, there will be no one in the Wei family.

After the war, he decided to let his son have children at home with peace of mind, and to have more grandchildren, to see if he could find a reliable person to support the Wei family again.
