Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 264
Su Fei received the order after the second quarter of the eclipse.

There are more than 3 people in the Jiangxia Navy, of course they are not crowded in one military camp, but are scattered throughout Baqiu Township.

Among them, the main force led by Shen Chen was about 1 people. They were stationed in Yongcun, south of Baqiu Township. It was located in the north of Yonghu Lake.

Then Huang Zu led about 8000 people to station in Baling Mountain in the northeast, which is the area around Jin'e Mountain in Yueyang, the later generation.

There were also generals Zhang Hu, Chen Sheng, Deng Long and others who each brought two or 3000 people to camp in the north.

And Su Fei was stationed in a small fishing village in the northernmost part of Baqiu.

At this time, there were already people living in Baqiu, and they were the ancestors of Baling.Along the banks of the river, a large number of villages have taken root and gradually developed into villages, towns and villages.

Shen Chen's camp and Su Fei's camp were one south and one north. More than 3 people set up camp along the Dongting Lake along the Yangtze River in Baqiu.

Since the two camps in the north and the south are relatively far away, it took about a quarter of an hour for the guards to hurry over to deliver the order.

At the second quarter of the meal, a group of [-] soldiers, under the leadership of the head of the village, left the camp and headed towards Hongshan in the north.

Su Fei's camp is relatively close to Hongshan Mountain, walking four or five li to the north to reach the mountains south of Basho Lake, along the way there are dense trees and steep mountains, they walked on the narrow path in the mountains, with dense jungles on both sides.

At this moment, there was a sudden change in the nearby forest, and the head of the team suddenly became alert, and said loudly: "Form up!"

In an instant, the team reacted immediately.

The soldiers in the front row raised their shields and held their spears, the swordmen on the left and right wings drew out their ring swords one after another, and the archers in the middle took out their bows and arrows and began to line up.

But soon there was an embarrassing voice from the woods. The man was all dirty, wearing the military uniform of the Jiangxia Navy, crawled out of the bushes on all hands and feet, and shouted: "My own people."

"on!"

The head of the village did not let down his vigilance because of this sentence, but waved his hand.

Immediately there were two people surrounded by them, one on the left and one on the right. The person who climbed out did not resist, but immediately squatted down and put his hands on his head and said: "I am Ershi Er of the third team of Jiazi Qumaozitun under Captain Deng's command." Wu's Gao Xian, guarding the No. [-] Beacon Tower with the team, and the team leader is called Wang Zhi!"

The military system in the Han Dynasty was very simple, five men for one army, ten men for one shi, five shi for a team, two teams for one tun, five tun for one tune, five tune for one, two divisions for a school, and five divisions for an army.However, there is no specific operation plan, nor is there any preparation by the battalion department.

Therefore, for the convenience of management, Shen Chen re-registered and listed the camp.When the ministry was a unit, because the chief officer of a department was a military Sima, he was already considered a mid-level general, so he was named Sima.

And the lower-level officials below the Ministry, when they came to Qubu, they took the name of Tiangan.The Tunbu is named after the earthly branch, and the teams, Shi, and Wu at the next level are called by numbers.

Therefore, the soldiers under Shen Chen's command, such as this one named Gao Xian, should be called Shen Dudu's subordinates, Deng Xiaowei Department, Li Sima Camp, Jiaziqu, Maozitun, Third Team, Ershi, and Second Wu.Accurate to five, it is a lifelong number that every soldier must memorize by heart.

This was changed temporarily when Liu Qi appointed Shen Chen as the Supreme Commander of the Jiangxia Navy, and only he himself knew about it.

So when he heard his team number accurately, the head of the village was sure that this person was indeed his own, so he went up and asked, "Since you are guarding the beacon tower, you should perform your duties. Why are you here?"

Gao Xian quickly replied: "An enemy raided Beacon Tower No. [-]. I dare not go to Beacon Tower No. [-] and No. [-]. I ran straight to the direction of Captain Su's camp to report this!"

"what?"

The head of the village was shocked and said: "Who raided the beacon tower?"

"Jiangdong Army!"

Gao Xian said without hesitation.

"Did Beacon Tower No. [-] send out a warning signal?"

The head of the village asked.

It is more than 100 miles from Baqiu to Chibi, and more than 200 miles from Zhouling. Along the way, Shenchen set up more than ten beacon towers, each with a number.

Beacon towers No. [-] to No. [-] are actually the Hongshan area in the northeast of Su Fei's camp, and the Yangtze River in the north. There is a circle around the Yangtze River until the other side of Bajiao Lake in later generations, just to ensure that there will be no mistakes in the news.

However, Gao Xian said with a mournful face, "It suddenly became foggy this morning. Standing on the mountain, I couldn't see anything more than [-] feet away. Not to mention warnings, I couldn't even hear shouts."

"Walk."

The head of the village waved his hand without hesitation and said, "It must be that the Jiangdong army took advantage of the fog to raid our beacon tower along the river. Let's go back and report to Colonel Su immediately!"

They immediately turned back while speaking.

At this time, the No. [-] Beacon Tower was less than a mile away from them. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking south, Lu Meng could already see Su Fei's camp several miles away.

At this time, it was the end of the eclipse, that is, around nine o'clock in the morning, the fog dissipated, and the vision between the sky and the earth was very clear.

Lu Meng saw that Su Fei's camp in the distance was extremely quiet. Except for the patrols on the river bank, there were no soldiers patrolling even around the camp. There were only a few scattered guard posts and forts outside the camp. The relationship between Taiwan and Taiwan, their defense of the rear is not very strict.

"Captain, everything has been dealt with."

The deputy general came to his side and said: "Jiangxia Navy has set up sixteen beacon towers on the riverside, and we have all cleaned them up. After an hour, the commander's army should be able to reach Baqiu."

"Ah."

Lu Meng nodded and said: "Continue to observe their camp, as long as they don't make any movement within half an hour, even if they know something after half an hour, it will be too late."

The lieutenant general smiled and said: "Even if you know now, it's probably too late. It's the last hour of the meal. I heard that Shen Chen trains his soldiers every day, but the water combat training is once every three days. Today is not the time to board the ship." At that time, I would only practice on land, temporarily board the ship and then set off, it is impossible to go so fast. I think that Shen Chen is nothing more than that, the commander will take his life in this battle!"

Lu Meng said with a serious face: "Don't underestimate that guy, that guy is famous all over the world, and he can be said to be the reincarnation of Han Xin in his military use. It is said that Mr. Sima Decao, a well-known Jingzhou scholar, named him Tiger Silver Fox. I have suffered a lot from him, even I was washed away by the water and almost drowned, how can you be short-sighted?"

Then the deputy general remembered that he underestimated Shen Chen, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Lu Meng and the others who were defeated by him were nothing, so he quickly said: "Yes, yes, yes."

While the two were talking, they saw a group of people appearing in the wilderness from a distance, heading towards Su Fei's camp.

"Why is there a team of people there?"

Lu Meng was very surprised.

The lieutenant frowned and said, "Could it be that they still have a team stationed in that forest?"

Lu Meng thought for a while and said, "It's possible."

The lieutenant general said: "Captain, what should I do? If the soldier who escaped from the beacon tower went back and reported it."

"No hurry, let's take a look first."

Lu Meng waved his hand: "If they immediately beat drums and gongs to gather their troops, we will immediately light the beacon and notify the governor."

"only."

The lieutenant general ordered.

That team was exactly the team that Gao Xian had found before.

They were originally sent to change guards with the beacon towers along the coast, but they met Gao Xian halfway and hurried back to report.

If the head of the village is smarter and knows that someone has raided the beacon tower, then he shouldn't go back so blatantly, but secretly send one or two people to detour to report.

But when they heard the news, they didn't think too much and hurried back, but they were seen by Lu Meng.

Soon Su Fei got the information.

As the governor of Jiangxia under Huang Zu, he was the number two figure in the Jiangxia navy, so he was naturally smarter, instead of beating drums and gathering troops immediately, he immediately sent a fast horse to inform Shen Chen.

After about a quarter of an hour, Shen Chen got the news, and he was shocked when he learned that the Beacon Tower had been occupied.

However, he did not panic, but quickly issued a few orders, and the whole army began to move.

After another quarter of an hour, it was already close to the third quarter in the corner, and Zhou Yu's fleet should be approaching in half an hour. Lu Meng, who was on the No. [-] beacon tower in Hongshan, saw a group of people and horses coming from Su Fei's camp. Come out and go to the forest to the north.

About ten minutes later, another group of people came out of the woods.

Seeing this scene, the lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that they have indeed stationed several teams in the woods, and they are changing defenses."

"Well"

Lu Meng hesitated for a moment. Although he felt a little strange, he couldn't think of anything strange. After all, it was normal for a few troops to be stationed by the river and in the forest around the camp. It will be surprising.

The only thing that surprised him was that a guarding soldier who had escaped from the beacon tower before had disappeared for a long time, and he did not see a single person running towards the barracks, which was puzzling.

In fact, they were located in the north, and they could only see the situation in the north of Su Fei's camp, but they couldn't see the south.

Su Fei sent someone to inform Shen Chen that he was going all the way south from the south gate of the camp, and his army had already begun to gather in the south camp at this time, and all the guards outside were not mobilized, just because they were afraid of alarming Lu Meng.

Compared with low-ranking officers at the bottom, Su Fei still has two talents as the governor of Jiangxia.

"Our ship is coming!"

At this moment, the lieutenant general had seen countless mighty ships riding the wind and waves on the Yangtze River in the north. With the help of the north wind, they raised their sails and galloped at a fast speed.

They were sailing against the current, but the Jiangdong Navy's ships were still very advanced in technology. The soldiers paddled hard, and with the blessing of the wind, they were as fast as arrows.

Seeing this scene, Lu Meng laughed: "Let's prepare for it too, we may raid their camp later."

"only."

The deputy general responded and immediately ordered the soldiers to assemble.

"wrong!"

Lu Meng suddenly turned his head and opened his eyes wide.

The lieutenant looked at him in astonishment, and asked, "Captain, what's wrong?"

Lu Meng immediately said: "Set off the smoke!"

"what?"

The lieutenant said in shock: "Captain, our fleet will arrive soon, and it is less than [-] miles away from Shen Chen's base camp. Letting off smoke at this time will make them prepare!"

Lu Meng glared at the lieutenant general, squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "Let go! Wolf! Smoke!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

The lieutenant general was terrified by his expression and hurried to do it.

At this time, Lu Meng looked at Su Fei's camp with red eyes.

He felt that something was wrong before, but he didn't think of it for a while.

When Zhou Yu's fleet came over, he remembered the time!
Because they had already calculated when they set off, the Jiangdong Navy has always been sensitive to navigation on the Yangtze River.

The recent wind plus the speed of the water, they calculated about two hours.

From Chibi to Baqiu for more than [-] miles, four hours, under the condition of full paddling and tailwind, the sailing speed is about [-] or [-] kilometers per hour.

Before setting off, Zhou Yu told Lu Meng that they would leave at the beginning of the eclipse and arrive at the end of the day.

Seeing that Zhou Yu's fleet arrived at the agreed time.

Lu Meng suddenly remembered one thing.

They sent people over to investigate the situation of Shen Chen's army before.

They ate on time at around [-]:[-] every morning, and then rested in the camp for half an hour. At about the end of the meal, and at the beginning of Yuzhong, they started the whole army drill.

But now Su Fei's camp is quiet as usual, how can there be any signs of practice?
So Lu Meng knew immediately that they were exposed.

Soon the smoke was rising.

Su Fei in the distance immediately got the news, knowing that the enemy already knew that they knew each other, so he stopped pretending and ordered the army to set off for the riverside.

But at this moment on the Yangtze River, Zhou Yu's fleet sailed in light boats. The river was four or five miles wide and the waves were vast, and the big boats braved the wind and waves.

"Captain, smoke is rising from the shore!"

Ling Tong, a 20-year-old young general, inherited his father's work and duties, followed Zhou Yu to the left and right, stood on the side of the ship, and looked into the distance.

Zhou Yu was resting in the cabin. His old injury was not healed. He coughed twice, followed Ling Tong out, and raised his eyes to see the black smoke rising, which made him frown.

There are two situations for this kind of thing to happen. One is that they were discovered, and this is Lu Meng's wolf smoke.The second is that Lu Meng fell, and there is still a beacon tower that has not been captured. After seeing their fleet, they issued a warning.

Regardless of the situation, it proves one thing, that is, they have been exposed, and now they have to consider the next action.

"Don't worry about it, keep attacking, go straight to Baqiu, and capture Shen Chen alive!"

Zhou Yu glanced at the location of the beacon tower.

This is the last beacon tower in the information, and it is more than 20 miles away from Shen Chen's main camp. Even if the news spreads now, they should not have time to board the ship and prepare for battle.

Seeing this scene, Lu Meng on the top of the mountain frowned. Knowing Zhou Yu's thoughts, he could only say: "Get ready to fight, the governor will continue to attack."

Soldiers from Lu Meng's tribe assembled one after another and began to descend the mountain to attack Su Fei's tribe.

at the same time.

Countless soldiers began to board the boat at Shenchen Camp in Yong Village on the north bank of Yonghu Lake.

At the junction of Yonghu Lake and the Yangtze River, a large number of water villages, dock forts, and high oars were built on both sides of the bank, and groups of soldiers settled in them, preparing to intercept the enemy at the mouth of the lake.

A big battle is about to kick off.
