…
"Kill~~"
Outside the camp on the south bank, the sound of killing shook the sky, and fire and cannons roared.
Before the officers and soldiers of the Green Camp understood what was happening, they saw a group of armored soldiers holding "fire sticks" rushing into the camp. For a moment, the military camp mutinied, the army had no fighting spirit, and the soldiers ran around. The Han army easily controlled the Green Camp on the south bank.
The Jin soldiers on the north bank could only watch the raging fire burning across the bank because their ship was captured.
"Alas~~"
Diao Mantu groaned, and his defeated enemy collapsed on the ground.
It's over, it's all over.
Originally, he was still lucky, thinking that even if the Han army crossed the river and went south, the Green Camp he left on the south bank, which numbered tens of thousands, would be able to sustain it for a period of time, allowing him to collect ships to return reinforcements.
Unexpectedly, the Han army actually attacked the south bank camp in one go.
When he thought that if the news of his defeat reached the capital, even the emperor's relatives would inevitably die, he couldn't help but tremble all over, obviously very scared.
"No, I can't just fail, I want to fight back!"
For this reason, he decided to make a last-ditch effort, stood up and said: "The troops obeyed the order, cut down the trees at all costs, collected ships from the people, and crossed the river to return reinforcements after dawn!"
…
The Jinbing camp on the south bank, which was supposed to be Diaomantu's military tent, has now become Lu Ziming's temporary command post.
Lu Ziming said: "Now that the Jinbing camp has been destroyed, we should think about how to control the river. What do you think?"
Zhu Heng said carelessly: "Of course we will take the stolen food directly."
"Um……"
Lu Ziming responded, but fell into deep thought again.
Xu Sheng also said: "Ziming, why do you look worried? Everything is as you expected. We successfully took down the south bank camp."
"But we haven't completely controlled the Canal Canal Road, which shows that this war is not over yet, and..."
Lu Meng corrected himself and said, "If Diao Man tries to abandon the south bank camp and head north instead, then the pressure on General Yue will be even greater."
Zhu Heng and Xu Sheng looked at each other. This idea was something they had never expected.
If Diao Mantu really goes north, General Yue will be in real danger.
"What should we do?"
The three of them were lost in thought.
At this time, a scribe walked into the account holding a pile of statistical accounts and said: "General Lu, the military seizures have been released. Please take a look."
Lu Ziming looked up and saw a handsome young man in front of him, about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing light armor, holding an account book and waiting for him to review it.
"Lu Yi, you came just in time, sit down and talk."
When Lu Yi heard this, he put down the account book in his hand, sat down and said, "I wonder what General Lu is upset about?"
"How did you know I was upset?" Lu Ziming asked curiously.
Lu Yi: "I saw the general's eyebrows were furrowed. He was obviously victorious, but he was still unhappy, so I thought he had something on his mind."
"Oh?" Lu Ziming became interested, "Then tell me, why am I upset?"
Lu Yi said without thinking: "As expected by my subordinates, it is because the Jin soldiers abandoned their camp on the north bank. The general is afraid that they will go north and only add pressure to General Yue. I wonder if this is the case?"
Lu Ziming and the other three's eyes lit up and they all nodded.
"Then what's your opinion?"
"Naturally, we took advantage of the opportunity that the Jin soldiers were determined to regain the south bank, and quickly annihilated them in the river."
"Hit him halfway?" Lu Ziming frowned, "Lu Yi's intention is to attack while the enemy is crossing the river? But..."
Lu Yi shook his head: "Although we have achieved some success in attacking half way, we may not be able to achieve full success. Therefore, my subordinates thought that we should let the Jin army cross the river and annihilate them in one fell swoop when they reorganize their troops!"
Lu Ziming clapped his hands: "It's a good strategy, and I like it very much. But how can we ensure that Diaomantu will definitely lead his troops south?"
Lu Yi: "Before I came down, I asked the officers and soldiers of the Green Camp about their unruly behavior. He is a corrupt person who distorts the law, confuses right and wrong, and is addicted to wine and sex.
The general only needs to take control of his family on the south bank and write a letter to the north bank, saying that our army is here for no other reason than to sign the terms of credentials with the imperial court.
And he was willing to give up the camp on the south bank without harming his family members. I expected that his unruly intentions would be like an arrow, and he would fall into the trap and return.
When his troops enter the camp on the south bank, Diao Mantu will have no choice whether to live or die. "
Lu Ziming thought it was true and immediately said: "I will order people to trick Diaoman Tu's family and send a letter of divorce to Bei'an Camp.
Not only do I want Diao Mantu to come, but I also want his army sergeants to return south resolutely, but..."
He frowned and said, "Who should be sent to the north bank?"
Lu Yi stood up and said, "In that case, it is better to let my subordinates go."
Lu Ziming responded: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
…
On the north shore, after a night of cutting and collecting, only more than a hundred boats and rafts were gathered, and because the boats were small, one could only accommodate six or seven people.
Diao Mantu was very anxious, but he had no choice but to keep urging the army to cut down the trees.
The soldiers who had not slept all night had not even eaten breakfast and were already exhausted. There were faint voices of dissatisfaction with the unruly Tu in the army.
"I won't do it anymore. I'm exhausted from doing this!"
A pawn who was weaving a raft suddenly dropped the rope in his hand and sat directly on the ground.
With the first person taking the lead, the rest of the golden soldiers also put down their work and went on strike completely.
When Diao Mantu saw this, he couldn't help but became furious: "What an outrage. This is a time of national crisis. We must work together to expel the foreigners. How can we slack off just because we are tired? Everyone, get up and work quickly!"
"Damn, that's nice to say. If you have the ability, do it!"
"Yes! What the hell?"
"You Diaomantu, don't think that just because you are a noble, you can do whatever you want. I will give you a knife if you are forced to do so!"
His words aroused great dissatisfaction among the troops, and there were faint signs of mutiny.
But Diao Mantu obviously didn't expect this. How dare these ants-like things in front of him dare to scold him?
Who are you? Relatives of the emperor, local generals holding important positions in the imperial court, these idiots dared to scold themselves.
He drew out his long sword and said, "I think you are looking for death! If you can, curse again!"
Miso miso miso——
The next moment, hundreds of golden soldiers all drew out their blades and looked at Diaoman Tu with extremely cold eyes.
Diao Mantu's heart suddenly trembled, and his mouth trembled as he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
It was the deputy general Ma Zun who immediately stepped forward to smooth things over and said: "Brothers, we are all a family, why bother? Since everyone is tired, how about we bury the pot and make rice for the time being and rest for half a day?"
Then he whispered to Diao Mantu: "General, now is not the time to be impulsive. If there is a mutiny in the army, the consequences will be disastrous. It's better to say a few words."
Although Diao Mantu was extremely unhappy, he knew that this was the only way to go, so he said: "Everyone, it's me who is the general. Please calm down. It's not easy for everyone after a hard night. Let's finish breakfast first."
After everyone heard this, they temporarily put away their weapons and went to bury pots and make rice.
"Hmph, when we get through this calamity, I will definitely kill you all!"
