Chapter 266
After Zhou Yu led the army to the surroundings of Chaisang, he was very depressed. Chaisang had a total of 15,000 Han troops, sufficient food and grass, and complete armor, and his former water army Dazhai was occupied by Zhang Nan's 5,000 water army. On the other side, Gan Ning rebuilt a large water army village, which was also garrisoned by five thousand water troops, as if two gates, even if there were thousands of troops, they would be shut out.
Moreover, Feng Xi still had 5,000 soldiers and horses in Chaisang City, just with the little strength under his command, how could he attack it?
Out of concern for Xiao Qiao in the city, Zhou Yu ignored the persuasion of the veteran Han Dang and insisted on attacking, and as a result, he was hit by an arrow from Gan Ning. Although he didn't hit the point, Zhou Yu was angry in his heart, and he fell ill all of a sudden.
Han Dang, Pan Zhang, He Qi and others were in a hurry, not knowing what to do.
In Zhou Yu's handsome tent, the air seemed very dull.
"Dadu Governor, let's withdraw the troops!" The veteran general Han Dang was depressed, the number of Jiangdong soldiers was no longer as good as the Han army, and he was still determined to attack the city, wouldn't it be a joke?
"Wait a little longer!" Zhou Yu's face turned pale, but he was still unwilling.
"Dadu Governor, Gan Ning is very cautious, we have already released the news that Du Du is seriously injured, the generals are discordant, the morale of the soldiers is low, etc., I even drink alcohol in the barracks and whip the soldiers, but Gan Ning just doesn't come to rob the camp. Pan Zhang looked a little helpless.
After Zhou Yu was injured, he thought of a plan, pretending that the injury was serious, the Jiangdong army was leaderless, and the camp was chaotic, wanting Gan Ning to rob the camp, and then set up an ambush in the camp to defeat Gan Ning, thus conquering Chaisang in one fell swoop.
However, Gannin seemed to have seen through their ploy and did not leave the camp at all.
"Dadu Governor, the Jingzhou water army is not weak, if it goes for a long time, I am afraid that our grain road will be threatened!" He Qi also said, "It's better to withdraw the troops! Wait for us to repair it, and then come..."
Zhou Yu suddenly sat up, "It's not good, Gan Ning must have robbed our grain road!"
Zhou Yu was a little alarmed, "Wen Jue, you immediately lead three thousand soldiers and horses..."
At this moment, a scout ran into the marshal's tent in a panic, "Governor Dadu, the general of the Han army, Feng Xi, raided our grain road, and 20,000 stone grain was robbed!"
Zhou Yu was extremely annoyed, and Han Dang, Pan Zhang, He Qi and the other three were also stunned. These 20,000 stone of grain, but their soldiers' and horses' food for January!
"Gongmiao, how many days can the grain and grass in our camp use?" asked He Qi.
"Five
days, good!" A sneer appeared on Zhou Yu's face, "Let the soldiers spread rumors, just say that our grain and grass can only be used for three days, and let the grain officer Xiaohu divide the grain in the army, I see if Gan Ning can still sit still this time?"
"Most of the governors have a very good plan, and Gan Ning knows that we have no food now, and without food and grass, the chaos in the army, but it is true. Even if he was extremely clever, he couldn't imagine that this was Dudu's brilliant plan!" Han Dang admired Zhou Yu's plan very much, because if he was replaced by him, he would definitely fall for it, and it was estimated that Gan Ning would do the same.
After Feng Xi succeeded in robbing the grain, Gan Ning was very happy, and he immediately asked the soldiers to step up to inquire about the news of Zhou Yu's camp.
Sure enough, he learned that the grain and grass left in Zhou Yu's camp was only enough for three days, and in order to alleviate the crisis, he even adopted the method of distributing grain by Xiaohu.
So, Gan Ning immediately sent Feng Xi and Zhang Nan over.
"Xiao Hu divided the grain, and people said that Zhou Yu was unmatched in wisdom, but he did not expect such an idea, I am afraid that in a few days, the soldiers will mutiny. Feng Xi seemed excited.
Many of those who served as soldiers in this era were ordinary people or displaced people who could not survive. When they were soldiers, they sometimes didn't even get paid, so they could feed themselves. If you can't even have enough to eat, then
what kind of soldier should you be?"
"Hu Yuan robbed his food and grass, what else could Zhou Yu do? Unless he withdrew his troops, he could only do this!" Zhang Nan also seemed very happy, "General, we should take the initiative now, right?" "
Okay, we are ready to attack, but we still have to wait!"
We have been waiting for a long time, and now they are about to run out of food, and if we wait any longer, the morale of our soldiers will also be affected!" "
Yes, now it is about to run out of food, so if the food is really cut off, wouldn't the time be more ripe
!" "Yes, the general is right, then we will wait a few more days!"
Zhang Nan waited for another two days, and the scout came to report that the chaos in the Jiangdong Army camp was getting worse, and deserters also appeared.
"Okay, Big Break Zhou Yu is tonight!" Gan Ning also looked a little excited, Chibi fought Zhou Yu to become famous, who in the world does not know Jiangdong Zhou Lang?
In the evening, the soldiers in the two water villages had already eaten their war meals and were checking their weapons. Gan Ning and Zhang Nan each led a group of soldiers and horses, ready to attack Zhou Yu's camp from the front, while Feng Xi led a group of soldiers and horses back to the rear of the camp, using two sides to attack.
The army was ready to set off for the second change, and by the time of the first change, everything was ready.
At the same time that Gan Ning was excited, he was also a little nervous, and even a little uneasy, and it seemed that something was wrong? Could it be that he broke Zhou Yu like this
? There was no food and grass, the soldiers were facing mutiny, and the camp was chaotic, all of which were very beneficial to him, but couldn't Zhou Yu think of it?
Without food and grass, he is still stationed here, what do you want to do? Is it a siege?
"This is Zhou Yu's scheme!" Gan Ning suddenly realized, Zhou Yu did not leave, the purpose was to lure him to rob the camp. How could he not have imagined such a simple truth?
Quick, inform Zhang Nanfeng Xi that you must not send troops tonight and set up ambushes in the camp and in the city!" said Gan Ning loudly.
"No!" the herald immediately went to Zhang Nan's camp and Chaisang City.
Gannin also immediately arranged for the soldiers to ambush in the camp, and then waited patiently.
Two more passed, there was no movement.
The third is almost over, and there is still no movement.
"Could it be that I guessed wrong?" Gannin wondered.
Just as it was about to change the fourth day, the sound of paddling finally came from the surface of the river.
"Sure enough!" Gannin suddenly became excited.
The sound of paddling became louder and louder, and in the hazy night, one warship after another was faintly seen.
Closer, closer.
Gan Ning discovered that the general of the Jiangdong Army on the bow of the ship was none other than Han Dang. When he reached the gate of the Ganning Water Village, Han Dang swung the big knife in his hand and shouted, "Jiangdong warriors, rush in, burn the water village!"
