Cheng Zhengpu nodded to show his approval before ordering Chen Ji.
"Brother, I'll leave the 20,000 soldiers in the city to you. I'll also allocate another 20,000 people for you to station in Lushan City. You must guard these two places and restrain the navy forces of Nanyang and Jingzhou. Don't let them cut off my retreat!”
Chen Ji answered seriously," General, please rest assured. We will not let a single enemy soldier appear behind you!”
Good! Right now, we only have one path to go south to Jiangnan. Tomorrow, we'll set off on a new journey!”
......
"My Lord, General Gan has sent an urgent military report!”Kuai Yue hurriedly took a sealed roll of silk and found Chu Huan.
He took it and opened it, but he wasn't surprised.
War was indeed the catalyst for the development of science and technology. They had just fought Sun Jian with the catapults, but they didn't expect that Yuan Shu would also be equipped with catapults in less than a year. Fortunately, they had brought out the Continuous Shooting Ballista this time. With the range of the Ballista, it shouldn't be a problem for them to suppress the catapults.
"Milord, how is the situation? Could it be…"
"It's nothing. Gan Ning's navy was ambushed and fought a small skirmish with Cheng Pu's army! Although they had suffered some losses, they had also obtained some valuable information.”
"Yuan Shu has already equipped catapults, and there are quite a number of them. The plan to cut off the enemy's water supply can no longer be implemented! Gan Ning had already retreated to Xinye, and Yuan's army would be heading south in a few days. Yu Wenzhe would be under even more pressure!”
"Yidu, immediately order the navy to transport 30 catapults, 30 repeating ballistae, 3,000 giant arrows, and 100 jars of oil to Xinye! Oil that can be ignited!"
Kuai Yue asked with a puzzled look," Oil?？”
"That's right. Let Wen Ze soak the cloth in the oil and then seal or wrap the oil jar. Use it as a stone. Just light it before you throw it. Once the jar breaks, it will immediately turn into a sea of fire! Moreover, the oil was much lighter than rocks, and its range could be further. He hoped that Wen Ze would use it at the critical moment to deal with the opponent's catapults!”
"My lord, you're wise!"
Chu Huan couldn't help but curse in his heart. F * ck you, stupid Yuan, you actually created a counterfeit.
Fortunately, I have a large amount of knowledge from the future. I don't believe that you can steal all of my 2,000 years of knowledge. I'll always be one step ahead of you!
.....
Cheng Pu looked around at the hills, streams, and forests that he had been familiar with in his dreams, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.
Life is so damn similar. It's Xinye, Bowang Slope, and I, Cheng Pu, am going to pass by here with my soldiers. Is this a coincidence or a mockery from the heavens? Was he going to repeat the same mistake again?
No! Never! Even if I lose, it can only be Zhang Xun. I can't lose twice in a row at the same place. Otherwise, how can I meet my lord in the underworld in the future?
The damned Bowang Slope was right in front of them. Although it was unlikely that the enemy would ambush them here again, it was still better to be careful. Gongfu, lead 2,000 soldiers and carefully search the forest on the hillside ahead!”
Huang Gai rode his horse out and led two thousand men towards Bowang Slope.
Dense trees, dark light, and the sound of insects.
After carefully entering the dense forest on the hillside, Huang Gai divided the soldiers into teams of ten and spread out to search. They pushed aside the branches and leaves that blocked their vision, stepped on the thorns that hung on their feet, and stabbed a few times with their swords and spears in every bush that might hide enemies...
Countless birds were startled and flew into the sky. A wild boar that was sleeping in its comfortable nest was also chased out and ran around!
A small team of soldiers saw this and teased each other," What a fat boar! If it weren't for the order, we could have eaten tonight!”
"Stop dreaming! I should hurry up and finish searching. I keep feeling that this damn place is eerie!”
"You're too timid…"
"Ahhh
"There's a trap! Be careful!"
"Someone come quickly! Help! Someone has stepped into a trap!"
Tragic wails and clamorous cries for help suddenly resounded throughout the entire forest. People immediately responded and ran to the place where the accident happened.
Huang Gai immediately knew that something was wrong. There must be traps everywhere in the forest. He couldn't run blindly at this time. He could only carefully check his feet and surroundings before slowly retreating!
Just as he was about to give a warning, he suddenly saw a soldier in front of him stagger as if he had tripped over something. Immediately after, a series of whooshing sounds rang out.
"Get down!"
"Uh…"
" Ah…I've been shot…Save me…Ah…"
A soldier was lying on the ground twitching with an arrow lodged in his throat. He was probably hopeless.
Another soldier clutched his shoulder and let out a blood-curdling scream. Huang Gai was about to walk over to check when a thousand-pound log smashed down in front of him.
Boom!
The soldier who had asked for help fell completely silent! Blood and brain matter splattered all over Huang Gai's face. Such a cruel scene stunned him, even though he had been through many battles.
His heart was beating like a drum against his chest. Cold sweat mixed with brain matter and blood slid down his forehead. His scalp was numb.
More screams and exclamations came from all directions, making everyone who heard them feel their hair stand on end. Immediately, the forest was in a state of panic!
At this moment, Huang Gai and the soldiers beside him did not dare to move. Only their chests were heaving up and down violently. Their deep breathing reminded them that they were still alive.
