Chapter 1642 soldiers are limited

Zhuge Liang refused to tell his method, but Zhou Yu did not ask: "Since Kong Ming refused to say it, I don't force myself to ask. I just hope that it will not delay the big thing."

"Don't worry, the Grand Governor, I am willing to issue a military order. If I cannot send 100,000 arrows in three days, I will present the head of the head!"

"Okay!" Zhou Yu slapped the table and said, "What I want is Kong Ming's heroic spirit. I will let Lu Zijing go to your residence later."

After leaving Zhou Yu's barracks, Zhuge Liang returned to his residence for a while, Lu Su came to visit.

When Zhuge Liang learned that Lu Su was coming, he hurriedly welcomed him into the room.

"The Grand Governor said that Kong Ming promised to create 100,000 arrows within three days." Lu Su asked, "I wonder if this is the case?"

"Yes!" Zhuge Liang replied calmly.

"Does Kong Ming plan to get 100,000 arrows from Xuande Gong?" Lu Su asked.

"Of course not." Zhuge Liang said: "Don't say that my lord doesn't have so many arrows. Even if there are, he has to leave it for the soldiers. How could he give it to the Grand Commander?"

"Since I didn't take it from Xuande Gong, can I really make it?" Lu Su said: "A craftsman can only have a hundred arrows a day. How many craftsmen are Kong Ming planning to use?"

"No one." Zhuge Liang waved his hand with a smile.

"Don't want craftsmen, nor did they take them from Xuande Gong. Where did they get so many arrows?" Lu Su asked.

"The Cao army opposite the river bank has been stationed." Zhuge Liang said: "Just borrow some from them."

"Borrow from Cao's army?" Lu Su looked at Zhuge Liang blankly: "When the two armies are fighting, how can they borrow arrows to Kong Ming?"

"Does Zijing have a boat in his hand?" Zhuge Liang suddenly asked.

"There are some," Lu Su asked, "What is Kong Ming going to do?"

"Please ask Zijing to lay twenty straw men on each small boat." Zhuge Liang said: "Just prepare a total of 100 small boats."

"Kong Ming wants..." Still not understanding what Zhuge Liang is going to do, Lu Su asked in surprise.

"Zijing doesn't need to ask too much." Zhuge Liang said, "Don't tell the Grand Governor either. If he knows, he will definitely understand what I plan to do. First hide it from him, and wait until we get 100,000 arrows back, and then tell him the passage."

"I wonder when Kong Ming wants it?" Lu Su asked.

Zhuge Liang replied: "Let it beside the river tonight and use it before dawn tomorrow."

"I'll go and prepare now." Lu Su stood up and took a break.

Zhuge Liang asked Lu Su to prepare a straw boat, and Cao Shu, who had already led his army to the Yangtze River, was patrolling the river bank.

Catacombs lined up on the shore.

Standing next to a catapult cart, Cao Shuo asked the controlled soldier: "Based on your experience, can our catapult cart hit the other side?"

"Report to the young master." The soldier replied: "The catapult can still hit the other side, but..."

"Just what?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It's enough to have a bad wind in the river." The soldier said: "If the wind in the river is too strong and the stone is blown away halfway, it may not be hit."

"How long have you been a stone-population soldier?" Cao Shu asked again.

"Since the young master built the catapult cart, I have been doing it." The soldier replied.

Cao Shu nodded and pointed at the opposite side of the river bank: "After being a stone-cattering soldier for so long, you should understand that the catapult can adjust the angle. Is there any defense line of the Jiangdong Army on the other side? Once I give the order, I will bombard me hard."

"Don't worry, young master, stones and other things have been prepared long ago, just waiting for the order to be issued." The soldier responded.

Accompanying Cao Shuo to continue patrolling forward, Pang Tong asked Cao Shuo: "Young Master, one or two hundred catapults are deployed along the coast. Is it necessary to build a house on the shore of Jiangdong?"

"It's not about building a house, but about demolishing their houses." Cao Shuo asked with a smile: "Shi Yuan thinks that in the battle, when should the soldiers start a charge?"

"I think it should be when the enemy is weak and our army is strong." Pang Tong replied.

"How can we make the enemy weak?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"Strategy." Pang Tong said: "Using strategies will cause the enemy's morale to be disintegrated."

"That's too troublesome." Cao Shu said: "The easiest way is to beat the enemy with long-range weapons when they can't see our army. Both sides have bows and arrows, so bows and arrows are not considered long-range. The ones that can be used are these catapults."

Before Cao Shu said this, Pang Tong had already understood his intention.

He just felt that it was indeed a bit too silly and unnecessary to get a catapult to put in here.

"The real commander who knows how to fight is the lives of soldiers." Cao Shu said: "No matter how many soldiers there are in the army, the number of people is always limited. If one dies on the battlefield, we will have one less soldier. So we have to do everything we can to make more deaths from the enemy, and our army is best not to die."

"After going to the battlefield, people will die." Pang Tong said: "I understand the young master's intention..."

"You don't understand very well." He patted Pang Tong's shoulder lightly, and Cao Shu said: "Soldiers are limited, but stones are infinite. From the moment when the catapults are all equipped, there is only one thing we have to do, which is to constantly drop huge rocks to the other side and destroy their defense."

Turning around and walking to the riverside, looking at the water camp of the Jiangdong Navy on the other side, Cao Shu said: "When fighting with the enemy, we must recognize our own strengths and also understand the strengths of the enemy. The Jiangdong Navy has been more diligent than the Jingzhou Navy in recent years. Every time they attack Jingzhou, the navy is the leader. If we use the navy to fight them head-on, we will definitely suffer."

"Young Master is planning..." Looking at the Jiangdong Navy on the other side, Pang Tong subconsciously glanced at the catapult carriage placed on the shore.

"Shi Yuan understands me." Cao Shuo grinned and said, "The warships are made of wood. The huge rocks fall on the warships. Even if they cannot be broken, they will be destroyed. As long as the defenses along the east coast of the Yangtze River are destroyed and the navy is gone, our Cao family army can drive straight into Wujun."

"If the Sun family in Jiangdong provokes an opponent like the young master, it may become their nightmare." Looking at the other side, Pang Tong said: "Young master personally fights, but in fact, we aides follow us, it is useless."

"Nonsense." Cao Shu said: "When I attacked Jiangdong, I still plan to rectify the military system. You guys have been outside for a long time. It's time to go back to Shouchun to become bigger officials."

"Young Master is planning to change the military system?" Pang Tong asked, "I don't know how to change it?"
