Chapter 1791 under the river(1/2)
The Eastern Wu naval army seemed to be surrounded, but the river was wide, and Chen Wu, who was familiar with the water station, did not panic.
At this moment, Chen Wu had already understood Liu Jun's intention. Sima Yi was determined to destroy the Eastern Wu naval army and also calculated the reaction of the Eastern Wu naval army. This was an open plan. If Chen Wu did not bring his troops to kill him, then once Liu Jun took over Hulin Port, he would immediately block the Yangtze River!
The Yangtze River is very long, but there are only a few places suitable for large-scale troop transport across the river. Other places are undercurrents, and the ships are drifting deeper, and if you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die! The natural danger of the Yangtze River is not just a matter of fun!
Chen Wu knew that he had to fall into Sima Yi's trick.
But if Liu Jun could eat the Eastern Wu navy to death, Chen Wu didn't believe it.
Chen Wu looked towards Hulin Port, saw the bright lights, and saw several warships anchored at the port.
"Everyone, Liu Jun wants to destroy us. Be a big dream of spring and autumn! Following the general's order, the whole army charges and rushed directly to Hulin Port!" Chen Wu knew in his mind that the current Eastern Wu naval army could only survive by going down the river to Hulin.
Chen Wu also believed that the Eastern Wu defenders in Hulin Port would definitely send warships to support him when they saw the battle here. Several warships seemed to have low combat effectiveness, but they were very powerful at critical moments.
Before Cao Ren and Sima Yi had compressed the encirclement, the Eastern Wu naval army, under the command of Chen Wu, took the initiative and quickly to attack Sima Yi's troops.
The Eastern Wu navy is now on the string and has to fire it. If they do not attack actively, they will fall into a passive position.
When the weak fight against the strong, attack instead of defense.
The former King of the Yangtze River Water War has now become a weak person who takes the initiative to attack. How sad.
"Soldiers! Kill the enemy!" Chen Wu kept boosting morale.
The soldiers of the Eastern Wu navy knew that their current situation was very dangerous. Whether they could break through the siege alive depends on their offensive this time.
Sima Yi, who blocked the downstream, saw the Eastern Wu warship taking the initiative to attack here, showed a smug smile on his face and ordered softly: "Archer shooting!"
All the archers under Sima Yi were in place and formed a formation on the warship, aiming at the Eastern Wu naval army.
"Let me go!" After the Eastern Wu navy entered the archer's range, Liu Jun immediately launched an attack.
Chen Wu asked the archers to shoot almost at the same time.
The attack and defense between warships, in an era without hot weapons, bows and arrows are the best long-range attack methods.
Before the two sides could finish, their feather arrows shot at each other.
Many soldiers from the Eastern Wu and Liu Jun were caught in arrows. Some of them were a little unlucky and fell directly into the water and became food for fish and turtles in the river.
Liu's naval army was divided into two parts, and Sima Yi's strength was not as strong as Chen Wu. Under the attack of the two, Sima Yi suffered a loss.
Cao Ren, who was behind him, kept speeding up and trying to catch up with the Eastern Wu naval army. What was very unlucky was that Cao Ren's naval army actually sailed to a river road with undercurrents. Several Liu army warships even collided with each other due to undercurrents, resulting in a huge impact sound, which affected the entire fleet and indirectly affected the speed of travel.
"What's going on? Why did the warships collided together??" Cao Ren was confused. He was not very familiar with water wars.
Cao Ren did not understand water war, but his men knew the reasons. A general learned about the situation by asking soldiers who were familiar with water war, and immediately reported to Cao Renhui: "General, we have marched into the undercurrent. The warship was moved by the undercurrent and finally collided with each other."
"Uncurrent!?" Cao Ren was really shocked. Even if he didn't understand water war, he still understood the terribleness of undercurrent.
Once a warship encounters an undercurrent, it is impossible to ensure that it is not led away.
"Adjust adjustment! You can't make any changes in the plan because of us!" Cao Ren was very anxious. He could not accept the changes in the case because of his own reasons.
The warship crashed into the undercurrent, and even if they knew how to fight water, they would adjust for a while, not to mention that several warships collided together.
Many soldiers of the Eastern Wu navy heard the sound of Liu Jun's warships colliding behind him, and they were all overjoyed.
God is helping them!
The soldiers of the Eastern Wu who were still worried about being surrounded by Liu Jun can now breathe a sigh of relief. They knew that with the current situation of the Liu Jun warship behind them, it would take some time to adjust before they could re-form the offensive situation. So in this way, they only need to face the Liu Jun navy downstream.
As the chief general of the Eastern Wu naval army, Chen Wu was more confident. Without the Liu army warships behind him, he could calmly deal with the Liu army warships downstream.
"Kill!" Chen Wu continued to order with joy.
The morale of the soldiers of the Eastern Wu navy rose sharply.
Sima Yi also discovered Cao Ren's situation, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He forgot that Cao Ren was not good at fighting water. He encountered an undercurrent at this time, which was really unlucky.
It is actually a bit lucky to say that it is unlucky. Because the warship to which Cao Ren belongs did not encounter a reef, otherwise the consequences would be even more serious.
Thinking of this way, misfortune becomes a blessing.
But Cao Ren was not in the mood to think about these things now. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, helpless.
Chen Wu happily led the Eastern Wu navy to quickly press forward.
After a long-range strike, the best way to solve the battle is to touch the string. In short, it is to use a warship to rush up and collide with the opponent's warship, allowing soldiers to kill the opponent's warship and kill enemy soldiers.
That's what Chen Wu thought now. The Eastern Wu warship rushed towards the Liu army warship led by Sima Yi with murderous intent. The Eastern Wu warships were more numerous than the Liu army warships, so they were confident of taking down the Liu army warships.
The soldiers of the Eastern Wu can now imagine the cowardly appearance of the Liu Jun soldiers who were trembling slightly under their butcher knife after boarding the Liu Jun warship. As the distance became shorter and shorter, the soldiers of the Eastern Wu pulled out their weapons, and their condition slowly rose, returning to their previous mentality as the King of the Yangtze River.
Especially when Liu Jun soldiers kept walking on their warships, it seemed to be a sign of panic in the eyes of the Eastern Wu soldiers.
However, the soldiers of the Eastern Wu found that there was no wind on the river at this time. If there was wind, their speed would be faster.
God is really not happy enough. At this moment, a strong wind blows over, will everything be solved?
Was Liu Jun, led by Sima Yi, really panicked?
The answer is no.
Liu Jun soldiers walked around, which was prepared by Sima Yi. Liu Jun soldiers carried out boxes one after another. Almost every warship had a box.
The box was indeed filled with cans, filled with turmeric oil. In addition to these, Liu Jun also took out small trenchers.
Without further description, Sima Yi is going to use fire attack now.
"Let me go!" Sima Yi gave an order.
The catapult on the warship immediately launched and threw the canister containing tinder oil at the rushing Dongwu warship.
The Eastern Wu warships led by the leader were all smashed by cans. Many Eastern Wu soldiers were frightened.
The sting oil hits the deck, and the sting smell of the sting oil dissipates.
"Not good! It's tinea oil!"
"Liu Jun is going to attack with fire!"
There were bursts of screams.
By the time the Eastern Wu navy came to react, it was too late.
Sima Yi took advantage of the lack of wind on the river at this time and asked Liu Jun archers to use rockets and shoot densely at the Eastern Wu warship rushing towards him.
If there is wind on the river, Sima Yi will use a rocket if he gets thrust his brain!
The Rockets did not have any accidents and all shot the warships of Dongwu.
The previous turbulent oil was ignited by the rockets shot by Liu Jun, and a fire instantly formed. Liu Jun's rockets also hit the sails of the Eastern Wu warship, and the fire spread rapidly.
"It's on fire! Put out the fire!" The soldiers of the Eastern Wu naval army are now panicked.
The flames kept burning, and it was too late to extinguish them in time.
Two warships rushing in the front became a fire ship. They rushed in the front and were attacked the most by tinder oil, and the worst ending. The Eastern Wu soldiers on the two ships jumped into the Yangtze River and wanted to escape. But the chance was very slim.
Chen Wu was gritting his teeth when his warship was on fire.
There are only a few warships in the Eastern Wu. If you continue to lose, even if you take down Hulin Port, it will not be worth the loss.
"Stop rushing! Stand with Liu Jun." Chen Wu thought very clearly that as long as he strangled with Liu Bureau, Liu Jun would not dare to use fire attack.
The Eastern Wu navy was very elite. They immediately avoided the fired warship, and after bypassed, they continued to rush towards the warship to which Sima Yi belonged.
Sima Yi of course understood the intentions of the Eastern Wu navy. He ordered the warships to retreat immediately, fight and retreat, and constantly attack the Eastern Wu warships with feather arrows.
Liu Jun avoided fighting, and Chen Wu was a little anxious.
But it is useless to be anxious. Even if Liu Jun wants to kill the Eastern Wu naval army, he has no choice.
There are more than these unlucky ones!
After some hard work, Cao Ren finally led his fleet to get rid of the undercurrent, re-enter the channel, and quickly rushed towards the Eastern Wu navy.
"Crush!" Cao Ren narrowed his eyes and exuded murderous aura all over his body.
Liu's army once again surrounded the Eastern Wu navy.
The Eastern Wu navy is in danger!
Chen Wu was extremely anxious and looked at Hulin Port. At this time of battle, the defenders of Hulin Port did not come out to help. Chen Wu even doubted whether his relative Chen Tian was afraid of death or not.
Of course, Hulin Port will not come out to help because there are no more Eastern Wu defenders.
Lu Bu and others in Hulin Port have been watching the show.
Zhang Fei smiled and held a roasted wild boar leg, and chewed it, while saying, "I once heard about watching the fire from the other side of the river. Now I think it's like this? If someone beats him to death, we will just watch the fun."
Xu Huang was really speechless to Zhang Fei. Why did such a high-end word become so unbearable when it came to Zhang Fei's mouth?
"Sima Zhongda has some tricks! If the warships behind him had not collided, the battle would have been resolved long ago." Guan Yu saw the problem.
Lu Bu didn't understand water war much, but he also believed Guan Yu's words.
"Everyone, is it time for us to take action?" Xu Huang said.
Lu Bu and Guan Yu nodded heavily. They had watched enough of the show, and it was time to move.
"Everyone, let's start!" Lu Bu said loudly.
