System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

the other side

Just as the battle broke out on the front line, a fire broke out in Dong’s army camp.

Not long ago...

Dozens of warships and yawls set out from Shouchun in the upper reaches of the Huai River.

The Three Rats of Jiangdong...ahem, the Three Elders of Jiangdong.

Huang Gai, Han Dang and Cheng Pu led 3,000 navy soldiers downstream.

The boat was filled with firewood, hay and other fire starters.

Even though Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were cautious, they did not expect that the enemy would actually use the navy to rush down from the upper reaches of the Huai River.

After all, previous wars were mainly fought by the army, which led them to overlook a very important issue.

The most important navy in the war in the south.

The wars in the north and the Central Plains were mainly fought by the army.

However, in the Jianghuai area, where the water network is dense, the importance of the navy increased sharply, and the cavalry fell behind.

The warship sailed downstream, braving the wind and waves all the way.

Even cavalry would find it difficult to match this marching speed.

This is the water army.

As long as you go downstream, the wind direction will give you some consideration.

Marching a hundred miles in a day is a piece of cake.

Even more is possible.

After all, no matter how many war horses a cavalry is equipped with, the horses will get tired.

But the warships are on the water, and as long as the water and wind do not stop, the fleet can keep sailing.

"Hahaha!"

"The enemy could never imagine that our army would attack the main camp from Shouchun, over a hundred miles away."

Huang Gai held an iron whip in his hand, his face full of pride.

"Brother, you're joking. How can a bunch of landlubbers from the north fight a naval battle?"

"Today, let these little brats see that we old guys are still useful."

Cheng Pu stroked his beard and smiled.

During this period, they found it increasingly difficult to integrate into the atmosphere of the Jiangdong Army.

When Sun Jian was around, they were the most important generals and would always take the lead in every battle.

It's better now.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu would always let the young ones take the lead and leave the old ones behind.

The excuse is to give young people more opportunities.

They just need to provide support and keep the situation under control in the rear.

What you said is quite good. It's just that you think they are old and useless and you are afraid of holding them back.

"Well, why bother with the younger generation? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"The enemy's main camp is just ahead. After setting it ablaze, immediately lead the fleet eastward, then south along the Zhongdu River to enter the Yangtze River."

"Then we go up the Yangtze River to Chaohu and Hefei."

"I think the battle over there with Bofu is almost over. We can just send some food and supplies to them."

Han Dang looked at his two brothers with a wry smile and then said.

"Okay, okay, you've already chosen the route."

"Slip away and march at full speed!"

"I can't wait to see the enemy camp reduced to a sea of ​​fire."

Huang Gai raised his right hand and shouted eagerly.

With his order, the Jiangdong navy warships suddenly accelerated.

The combination of wind and human power made the already fast warship seem to be flying.

After arriving in Yicheng, the army immediately dropped anchor.

From here, you can see the Dong army camp nearby.

"brothers!"

"Use this fire to show the thief Dong the strength of my Jiangdong disciples!"

“Burn it!”

Huang Gai held an iron whip and shouted loudly.

"kill!!"

Thousands of Jiangdong sailors disembarked, each holding a bow and arrow and carrying firewood.

The medium-sized catapults on the warships continuously threw incendiary objects into the camp.

Large amounts of dry firewood, dry grass and kerosene were thrown into the camp.

The Jiangdong navy didn't even rush into the camp.

After throwing the things into the camp, they immediately threw torches to ignite kerosene and other flammable materials.

Pang De and others who were guarding the camp didn't pay any attention to the direction of the rear camp.

In their subconscious, the enemy is least likely to appear from the rear.

"The enemy didn't notice our navy."

Looking at the fire in the rear camp, Huang Gai said with some emotion.

"Okay, let's go."

"That's a good thing."

Cheng Pu patted his good brother on the shoulder and comforted him.

"What a shit, it feels really bad to be ignored."

"withdraw!"

Huang Gai spat and returned to the boat cursing.

营内

"Go away!"

"Go away!"

"Quick, someone come put out the fire!"

"No, it's gone!"

The fire in the camp spread with the wind. Pang De and Gao Shun, who were guarding the front camp, heard the noise and immediately set off for the rear camp.

By the time they arrived, the fire was already raging and could no longer be extinguished.

"what happened!"

"How could such a huge fire start when we didn't even see any enemy troops?"

Pang De looked at the sea of ​​fire in front of him and shouted in disbelief.

"It can't be saved."

"Withdraw the troops to avoid unnecessary casualties."

Gao Shun sighed and helplessly ordered a retreat.

"What the hell, I didn't even see the shadow of the enemy."

"What use do I have for this broadsword?"

"What's the use?"

Pang De looked like a bereaved mother, with a face full of grievance.

"The enemy should be coming up from the Huai River."

"They went down the river, set the fire, and ran away."

"We have no navy and are not familiar with naval warfare, so we naturally did not expect the enemy to deploy a navy."

Gao Shun sighed and comforted him.
