"It seems that Li Su is relying on his Five-Tooth Warship as the vanguard. Even if only 30,000 people enter the Taihu Lake, he still dares to fight with my 90,000 people? He is very confident about the Five-Tooth Warship."

As the warships on both sides got closer, Li Su's Han fleet seemed to have no intention of avoiding Zhou Yu's treason for his treason and attacking him in advance. He was still fighting hard against the wheat. Zhou Yu's vague expectation became more and more intense.

Zhou Yu grinned a little almost nervous: "It's a pity that Li Su, as a northerner, even if she is desperately familiar with the water nature of the south, she cannot be like the Wu Hui people, knowing how powerful the strong wind at the intersection of summer and autumn is like the ones in the coastal area. If he dares to rely on it, let's send him on his way!

The whole army moved forward together! Did you see the tallest five-toothed warship behind the enemy's ship formation? The target was that ship! Half a year ago, when Bo Fu died in the winter of the Red Cliff Water War, Li Su did not dare to take the risk of his biggest flagship himself. This time he felt that he had won firmly, and he actually dared to go to the front line to supervise the battle. Kill Li Su, everything is ours!"

Zhou Yu originally came with the mentality of fighting to the death and losing the debt. Li Su actually gave him a big chance, so Zhou Yu had to take a gamble.

It’s like two teams playing basketball. Their strengths are very different. If they play the full game, the weak side will definitely lose. At this time, the strong team actually told the weak team: We will win and lose with one goal, and the instant death method will win.

In this case, the weak team will of course be ecstatic and will push all bets up at all costs to fight. After all, those who know a little bit of probability know that the larger the sample, the closer the result distribution is to the real strength comparison. The smaller the sample capacity, at least you can bet on a small probability event.

Zhou Yu ignored all the tactical details and the pace of the reserve team's investment. He only saw Li Su's central army flagship.

However, while he was taking over the enemy's charge, some generals around him also noticed some potential hidden worries, such as Sun Ben on Zhou Yu's flagship reminded him:

"Grandmaster, our rear army seemed a little confused when turning to the killing process! Some ships had not followed up yet! In addition, General Yu Jin did not follow up immediately, and he might not be able to catch up with the enemy at the same time as us!"

Zhou Yu also made a little mistake in his busy schedule and didn't care. He looked at the front line that had already started fighting, and gritted his teeth: "Don't worry! They will keep up soon! This is not the short time difference!

On Li Su's side, the rear army was about to enter Taihu Lake, and half an hour was not enough. It was enough for us to have half a quarter of an hour, so it was harmless! Kill them all!"

Zhou Yu didn't know that his rear army was slow to react, and even the slight disconnection on the side of the ban were all because the internal restrictions were restricted by some off-field factors, and there was a slight chaos.

...

After a while, the two armies' ship formations burst out with increasingly fierce shouts of killing. Hundreds of ships and dozens of five-tooth warships, tower ships, and fighting ships were strangled together.

Several lines lined up in a row, fighting each other. On the surface of Taihu Lake, within a few miles, there were bloodstains from fire and springs, which quickly dissipated and were diluted by the huge amount of lake water.

However, in this chaos, Zhou Yujun quickly discovered something wrong, that is, the situation promised by the Grand Commander, "The large ships of Li Su's fleet will be difficult to operate in a strong windy day." It did not seem to have occurred.

In other words, the difference between the impact of strong winds on both sides is not obvious.

But since they were all red in their eyes, the entire army was already fighting for their lives. At this moment, everyone didn't have much time to reflect on themselves. They were all here, so they could only try their best to strengthen their performance on the spot and try to get rid of more enemies.

The Wu people were good at water warfare, and were good at adapting to changes in water warfare and remain calm in the face of danger. From Zhou Yu, Han and Chen Wu, to generals and officers at all levels, everyone was fully leveraging their subjective initiative and their talent for on-the-spot response, and fighting the last grand water war in the late Han Dynasty to the fullest.

"Kill! All the Flying Fire God Crows are released according to three times the amount of gunpowder and oil! Bundle two more cartridges! Today the wind is too strong, and the Flying Fire God Crow with ordinary charges will not be able to descend even if it is blown away!"

"The catapult projectiles are used for all the fire cups!"

Han Dang was rushing forward because the heavy firepower equipment was loaded on the fight ship, so Han Dang was desperately directing his subordinates to fine-tune the use of ammunition for the Flying Fire Crow and the Stone Cave.

At the same time, Chen Wu, Song Qian and others, who were responsible for the front-end battle of the military command team, tried their best to create advantages:

"All the hooks on the ferry are ready! When boarding the ship, you only need to put a hook springboard on one side of the enemy ship, and try to use the weight of the hook to drag the enemy ship to one side!"

"Did you see the five-toothed warship and three fighting ships in front? The enemy ship has been tilted to the left by the strong wind. All the hosts are around to the port side of the enemy ship and put the hook on the left side. When we encounter a ship smaller than us, we will hit the enemy ship right and directly knock it over!"

Wu Bing's use of wind direction and lake waves and boat tilts has reached the extreme, and he has fully utilized what they can do.

Unfortunately, no matter how strong the tactics are, we cannot expect to go against the laws of nature.

It’s like a destroyer blooming. As long as there are no torpedo mines, relying on those few small water pipes, you can’t even beat the battleship even if you don’t.

Trying again and again, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, tried to take a direct impact posture and hit the side of the raised ship.

In the end, Li Su's nearly ten five-tooth warships placed in the front army were not overturned by wind and waves or impacts for a long time.

However, the Wu army's small boat, which was continuously hit by the horn of the iron axe-shaped horn, was hit by the scattered corner. As long as Li Su's five-tooth battleship was opened, the blockers would be invincible. In just a quarter of an hour of fighting, dozens of large ships sank Zhou Yu.

The slaughter of the ship was even one-sided. Although the relatively high five-tooth warship side seemed a little lower on this typhoon day (Li Su added ballast, so the draft became deeper, but it was also more stable). However, strong winds would also hinder the climbing soldiers.

The warriors on the Wu army fought on the side as if they were left with candles in the wind. At least two or three percent of them were blown down the lake if they failed to climb onto the deck.

The only thing that makes people thank you is that in such a windy day, the hit rate of the crossbows on both sides has been greatly reduced. The feathers of the arrows cannot stabilize the flight direction in such weather, so there is no question of aiming and shooting, and the effective range has been reduced by at least 30% or 40%.

However, Li Su's troops were rich and had no hope of aiming and shooting. They were covered with dense firepower, so they were not affected much. As for the reduction in range, it was fair to both sides. Both sides had to stick closer to the attack, and actually had a greater advantage for the higher side of the ship.

Moreover, Li Su had long known this detail, so he increased the proportion of the continuous crossbows. The arrows shot by Zhuge crossbows have no tail feathers. Usually, they rely on the grooves on the wooden poles to divert airflow to stabilize flight.

However, in this kind of windy world, the featherless wooden arrows are less affected by the range of wind. The range of ordinary crossbows is reduced by 30%, and the Zhuge crossbow may be reduced by more than 10%. Even though the basic range of the crossbows is short, the range gap between them and other crossbows is narrowed in this weather.

Time, stand on Li Su's side.

At the beginning, Zhou Yu assembled more than twice the local superior force, but he did not chew off Li Su.

At the same time, Li Su's rear army was still continuously sailing into the Taihu Lake from the mouth of Zhongjiang River with a long snake formation, filling the front of the defense line.

Under the leadership of Taishi Ci, Li Su's front army was still moving forward even in a state of war, constantly expanding the space for the movement of his own positions and making room for friendly troops driving into the lake behind him.

But Zhou Yu could not stop this kind of thing, and he couldn't even block it. Taishi Ci was rushing forward with seven characters, and there was a corner of the thunderous iron axe on the bow. What would you use to block it?

Those who were not open their eyes happened to block the front, and all of them sank.

The bloody battle lasted for more than a moment. The size of Li Su's fleet on the Taihu Lake was close to half of its total force, which was not counted as the new casualties in this battle, at least the warships that the 45,000 navy navy had already rushed to the lake.

Zhou Yu gradually lost his strength and realized that his rear army He Qi's troops and even Cao's troops Yu Jin's troops were not doing their best in terms of military force investment, and the rear army seemed to be a bit serious. If he continued to fight like this, Zhou Yu had not waited for Li Su to get out of touch, but he himself was going to get out of touch.

"What's going on with the back army? Why are they so slow to enter the battlefield? Why are they so slow to turn around? They are still at the same time!" Zhou Yu gradually panicked, feeling that the house was raining all night, so why are all the declines coming out?

...

It turned out that Zhou Yu had to blame for waiting for the typhoon for this matter, and delayed the battle for two more days, which also gave Li Su the opposite side more time to prepare.

Li Su expected from the beginning that Zhou Yu had the intention to wait for the strong wind.

Later, he deliberately issued a letter of war to test Zhou Yu, seeing that Zhou Yu was willing to agree to "temporarily withdraw and give up the battlefield of war, and the two sides will have a gentleman's battle." After Zhou Yu agreed, Li Su became more confident about this.

Li Su is familiar with history. Since the current situation is so similar to that in the Battle of Feishui, even if Li Su does not need Xie An to deal with Fu Jian's work, he can still kill Zhou Yu.

But how can people think that they have too many advantages? If they can use factors, try to make full use of them.

"Zhou Yu is rigorous in governing the army, and his army's cohesion and morale are definitely stronger than Fu Jian's army. But now he is in a desperate situation, and there are definitely people who are changing their minds.

Moreover, Zhou Yu also faces the disadvantage of "the army is composed of a coalition." Yu Jin's troops will definitely not be completely in line with him and will not sacrifice their lives at the same time.

Anyway, in order to wait for the typhoon, he delayed the speed of my march along the Zhongjiang River for a few more days, and he resisted desperately every day to delay my advancement along the Zhongjiang River. Our army can capture thousands of prisoners every day, and there are so many enemy soldiers who have sunk and landed on foot along the banks of the Zhongjiang River.

I will choose some veterans from Jiangxia County or Yuzhang County from the army, or even from Changsha County. At that time, I will pretend that the soldiers of He Qi's troops who had been disbanded or Yu Jin's soldiers were fled after the war and returned to the team...

Zhou Yu now has to accept so many defeated soldiers every day, how can he identify them? As long as he mixes in a few hundred people, he will try to spread rumors during the war in the rear army..."

Before the battle began, Li Su felt that the more he thought about this strategy, the more he thought about it, the more he lost, the key was that he would not lose much.

Any soldier who is willing to surrender in the past will be given a cotton uniform and underwear that is uniformly tailored by the Han army. When the war is finished, it will be convenient for merit to be returned to the team as a token.

So, when Zhou Yu initially asked the entire army to return, Yu Jin and He Qi were slow and disconnected.

This is pretty good. At least Yu Jin and He Qi's fleet did not flee directly, but he was slow to act because he was bewitched by rumors.

The words shouted by those rumor soldiers were not just "Governor Zhou was afraid that he could not sink in the typhoon of Li Su's warship. He was afraid that he felt that there was no hope of a decisive battle, so he made us retreat."

There are also things like "I heard that Zhao Yun on the opposite side is already besieging Jianye, but Li Su flicked and had no intention of fighting with us on Taihu Lake. Governor Zhou found out that he had been stolen by a fight, so he asked us to retreat quickly and want to land to rescue Jianye."

"I heard that Gan Ning on the opposite side had already brought a naval ship to Wuxian and Wucheng, both blocking the Jiangnan Canal and Songjiang from Taihu Lake to the East China Sea. The Grand Commander knew that our army's way back was cut off, so he changed his mind and asked us to retreat and solve Gan Ning first.

This news is the latest military situation! The Grand Commander did not announce it because he was afraid of shaking the morale of the army. He just asked us to retreat and wanted to retreat to the battlefield and then tell us who the enemy we really want to deal with was!

Don’t spread the message randomly. If it leaks in advance, everyone will panic. Maybe half of the people will run away before they return to Wuxian or Wucheng! After checking it, we will lose our heads! We are treating you as brothers as fear that you will die in vain, so we took the risk to tell you!”

In short, the credibility of these rumors at first sounds is definitely more eye-catching than the words shouted by Zhu Xu, a general of Qin in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, during the Battle of Feishui.

Who made these things up by Li Su himself? It was a waste of life to cheat people to death.

However, Zhou Yu was very cautious before the war, explaining his intentions to the generals below, and asking them to pay attention to conveying and explaining them layer by layer to ordinary soldiers. Therefore, there were many people in the army who believed Zhou Yu's words, and the army was just hesitant rather than dispersed like Fu Jian.

Li Su's scam words were not just saying "The Wu army was defeated", but the seven true and three false words were mixed, making the smoke bomb more chaotic.

However, even if this is done, it is enough.

Li Su's five-toothed warship was not overturned on a large scale. He could have steadily withstood Zhou Yu with the sharpness of the warship.

Now Zhou Yu himself did not mobilize all the troops, but instead he was unable to succeed. After half an hour after the war started, the Han army navy that entered Taihu Lake exceeded 60,000, and Li Su turned into a state of complete crushing.

He Qi and Yu Jin were a little confused. Some people moved forward, some people moved backward, or they wanted to detour on both wings, but actually planned to get closer to the shore. If the wind direction was wrong, they would abandon the ship and land.

The formation of He Qi and Yu Jin's troops was therefore looser than expected at the beginning. As a result, as soon as they entered the combat state, the formation was cut by Taishi Ci, Huang Zhong and others.

Chen Wu took the troop team and was originally ordered by Zhou Yu to directly attack Li Su's flagship ship formation in the central army and put it on to fight the shore battle. As a result, because of the disconnection of the rear army, he was naturally the first to fall into a desperate situation with several times the gap in combat power.

Chen Wu couldn't even retreat. He brought hundreds of brothers at that time, and finally killed Taishi Ci's flagship, but he didn't even touch Li Su's iron sheet. As a result, the brothers around him fought fewer and fewer, and no one was reinforced by him. Chen Wu and Taishi Ci had fought more than ten bloody battles and were beaten and killed by Taishi Ci's army.

Zhou Yu's former army's command team was wiped out in a quarter of an hour. The brave warriors lost their spirits and directly chose to surrender Chen Wu and died in battle. What else do they still fight? There is no hope at all.

Han Dang is better than Chen Wu. After all, he leads relatively larger ships, mainly long-range shooting, and it is easier than platoon troops when he wants to run.

However, this only avoids the complete defeat of the entire army to make dumplings. It is inevitable that Han Dang's direct troops will lose 30% of them, and it will be lost by half.

In today's battle, Han Dang's troops suffered 20,000 people, with more than 14,000 people losing more than 6,000 people retreating. The ships were generally broken, and soldiers were killed and injured. Han Dang himself was shot by several crossbow arrows. Although he did not directly kill the internal organs, he lost a lot of blood, so it is hard to say how many days he could live.

The Central Army led by Zhou Yu himself was only slightly better than Han Dang. No matter what, his troops were completely finished.

And a guy like Li Su who eats people and doesn't spit out bones is obviously not satisfied with this result.

The slow movement of He Qi and Yu Jin does not mean that Li Su will not take the initiative to cause trouble for them.

If you don't want to come, let Li Su take the initiative to go. After he broke up Zhou Yu, he told Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci not to hold back and completely chase He Qi and Yu Jin to kill him.

Above Taihu Lake, there was a set of sunshine like blood. Most of the day of killing and strong winds made the ship more likely to capsize. The two armies sank hundreds of ships into Taihu Lake, and tens of thousands of dead were killed. In such weather, it was difficult to rescue them after falling into the water, and they could only rely on their destiny.

He Qi was originally the garrison of Yuzhang of the Eastern Wu, and was known for dealing with Shanyue in southern Jiangxi. He led his remaining parts to retreat and retreat and mingle with Zhou Yu because he lost places like Yuzhang and Poyang.

His troops were retreating again and again, and their morale was exhausted very seriously. Among the troops, Zhou Yu felt that his combat effectiveness was the most unreliable and his morale was the most unstable, so he, as a reserve team, did not dare to let him fight the tough battle at the beginning.

Now, it was finally time to pay off all this. He Qi's troops were caught up with by Taishi Ci, and they couldn't withstand the bloody battle for a long time, and retreated like a chain reaction.

The rumors spread among the "defeated soldiers" in his army who had just ambushed in a few days ago became increasingly rampant. As a result, the warships chose to "super the flag as soon as they were caught up by the enemy."

The same thing happened on the side where Huang Zhong pursued Yu Jin, but the Cao army soldiers under Yu Jin surrendered less directly, but the retreat did not dare to fall behind He Qi at all.
Chapter completed!
