Zhou Yu was very calm. As a commander, he could see the situation clearly and not be carried away by anger. Sun Ce could be angry, but he couldn't. Once he became angry, the naval army would really be finished.
The current situation on the river is very obvious. Qingtian City's navy is undoubtedly the weakest. The morale of the Sun family's navy has been reduced a lot after losing consecutive battles in the past. In the previous battles, although the morale of the Sun family's navy has been rising steadily, it has not suffered a lot of losses.
There are few, and the strongest is the naval army of Huang Zu of Jiangxia.
However, Qingtian City's navy had the backing of Chaisang City. Even if they were defeated, they could still dock and cooperate with the navy to attack the enemies on the river. On the contrary, Sun Ce's army, which had been advancing so triumphantly before, was put into a disadvantageous position.
Huang Zu's navy was huge in number. Although his commanding skills were poor, he was capable of destroying any family. However, if Sun Ce and Qing Tian joined forces, they could also defeat Huang Zu's navy, regardless of whether they were one's own or the opponent's.
If you cooperate with Huang Zu, you can destroy the other party, but Huang Zu may not let them go in the end.
As for the relationship between the three families, Sun and Liu need not talk about it. Sun Jian occupied the four counties in Jingnan, and it can be said that he has forged a deadly feud with Liu Biao. As for Qingtian City, Huang Zu tried to occupy Chaisang before, but was repelled by Xu Huang, and even
After losing his son Huang She, if the Sun family and Huang Zu are a national feud, then Qingtian City and Huang Zu are a family feud.
As for Qingtian City and the Sun family, things are not much better. Now the two sides are fighting on land and water as Xiangzhang is the battlefield. Unless the Sun family is willing to withdraw, there is no possibility of peace talks.
"Lord, if this continues, it will be difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time." He frowned and looked at the strange situation below. The three-legged stance is also the most stable form.
"It's a waste of time. We have plenty of time, but I'm afraid they don't."
Qin Tian sneered. He had already received the news of Sun Jian's defeat. More than 100,000 of the 500,000-strong army were killed in the battle, and most of the 230,000 prisoners were taken prisoner. Most of the remaining people fled. It was a successful ambush. Sun Jian wanted to go on land again.
It is no longer possible to use your brain.
As long as the news of Sun Jian's defeat comes and Taitian is confident, even Zhou Yu may not be able to remain calm.
"Lord, look, Huang Zu has sent people to Sun Ce's water formation." Hua Xiong suddenly exclaimed.
Taitian quickly looked back and saw a speedboat rushing out of Huang Zu's water formation and entering the Sun family's water army.
"Will these two families join forces?" Ze looked at Jiang Mian worriedly.
"Once we are defeated, Sun Ce will not be able to survive alone. We can understand this, and Sun Ce can also understand it."
Qin Tian shook his head and said, "At least not now."
"Not now?"
The three of them looked at Qin Tian in confusion. Tai Tian said nothing but swept towards the city wall coldly, resting his right hand on the city wall stacks and tapping the city wall stacks rhythmically with his fingers.
After a while,
The general who went to Sun Ce's camp took another general from Sun's camp and left quickly towards Huang Zu's camp. Taitian, Xu Rong, and Wangze couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Gong Jin, why did you agree to them? What if Huang Zu returns once we join forces with him to destroy the Qingtian Navy?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu with some dissatisfaction and said, in the current situation, it may be okay to fight the weak against the strong, but it is okay to fight against the strong even with the weak.
Killing the weak with the strong is definitely a way to seek death.
"Don't worry, Bo Fu, I have a way to make them our vanguard." Zhou Yu sneered, with strong confidence on his face.
"Oh?" Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. In his impression, Zhou Yu had never let him down before. This time, he might be able to create another miracle.
"My lord, it looks like the deal has been concluded."
Ge Ze on the city smiled bitterly as he looked at Huang Zu's slowly approaching Liu Biao's fleet, and Sun Ce's fleet, which was vaguely in a supporting position.
"The combination of elimination and attack not only defused our plan to seize the water, but also took advantage of the situation to attack. It seems that we have found the wrong person. At least we should not have brought in Huang Zu, a idiot." Taitian was speechless.
He shook his head. Although he didn't know what the envoy sent by Sun Ce said, he could probably guess that although Huang Zu's son died here for personal reasons, Huang Zu was not a hero, and the hatred for killing his son was natural.
Greater than national hatred.
"Lord, should we also send someone to clarify the situation and tell Huang Zu not to act rashly?" Ge Ze frowned.
"No, it's too late to say anything now. Wait, Sun Ce won't last long. This fisherman is not easy to be a fisherman."
Qin Tian sneered and said, the battlefield that determines victory or defeat is not here, but if possible, Taitian still hopes to destroy the Sun family's navy here.
Amidst the rumbling war drums, Huang Zu's navy slowly approached the Qingtian City navy on the shore. On top of the battleships, the city-breaking crossbows began to fire at each other. Each battleship became riddled with holes. Huang Zu stood through it, cold and cold.
Staring at Chaisang City, the flames of hatred flashed in his eyes.
"He's not that great, but he's good at leading troops." Taitian's eyes were slightly cold as he looked at the navy brought by Huang Zu. Although there was no grand formation, they were quite satisfactory and impeccable, and their teeth were outstanding.
, but there is something missing in Yashou. Such a person will not make any mistakes in defense, but it will be a little difficult to lead troops to fight.
He said in a deep voice: "Send my military order, Xu Rong, to attack the fortress."
"No." The flag officer kept waving the command flag. Below, on the shore, a row of soldiers suddenly appeared. They covered the area with withered grass and oilcloth, revealing a series of ferocious catapults.
"Load." With the cover of the navy in front, the opponent was not able to detect these catapults at the first time. They advanced fiercely day by day, and giant arrows continued to shoot between ships. At the same time, the distance between the two sides also increased.
Approaching, on the tower,
The flag was waved continuously to report the enemy's position and distance to Xu Rong.
Xu Rong stared intently at the flag officer at the top of the city, constantly checking the capstan of the catapult.
"put."
A ruthless look flashed in Xu Rong's eyes, and with an order, countless stone bullets rose into the air. In front, watching his warships approaching the enemy camp, Huang Zu's eyes flashed with excitement. At this moment, the sky
Suddenly there were bursts of roaring sounds, which were not arrows shot by crossbows. Huang Zu couldn't help but look up to the sky.
When Huang Zu looked up at the sky, his head was covered. Not only him, but everyone was confused. Stone bullets the size of blue balls were overwhelmingly thrown at them. No one could count how many there were in an instant.
, anyway, the end-of-the-world scene deeply shocked everyone's minds.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Countless stone bullets fell into the water, but many of them hit the boats directly. With the harsh sound of wood shattering, the ships were opened one after another. Many unlucky soldiers were directly hit by the stone bullets, and the huge force directly knocked them out.
Smashed into the cabin, not to mention the soldiers, even the generals will be injured by the stone bullets. Even if they are lucky enough to survive and fall into the water, they will probably not have the strength to swim out of the water again.
The damage caused by the stone bullets was secondary, but the shocking deterrent effect made Huang Zu's soldiers feel cold in their hearts.
"Charge, charge over." Huang Zu's eyes were red, and he roared angrily. The speed of the ship increased a few points. As long as the soldiers were in close contact, he was not afraid of the opponent's catapult. Although his warship was also equipped with a small catapult, it was relatively small.
Being loose, facing the formation of the Qingtian Army's catapults, even a counterattack would be difficult to achieve. Now the only way is to keep moving forward and engage the opponent in close combat.
One hundred meters...fifty meters...forty meters...,...,
As the two sides continued to approach, Huang Zu's breathing quickened, and a ferocious murderous intent flashed in his eyes. "Tatata..." Amidst the sound of rapid footsteps, rows of crossbowmen holding special crossbows rushed onto the ship.
They quickly lined up in several rows on the major ships, showing no fear in the face of Huang Zu's fierce and powerful army.
"Breaking Army Crossbow, prepare." Ling Cao and Huang Gai stood on the deck, looking at each other coldly. As the two gave orders, rows of special crossbow arrows were raised, and Leng Youyou's arrow clusters were aimed at the approaching people.
enemy.
"First row, launch."
"metaphor"
Streams of cold light shot out with a shrill roar, and sharp arrow clusters continuously hit the enemy soldiers. Jiangxia soldiers screamed and fell to the ground.
The army-breaking crossbow, a fourth-grade set of components, has excellent accuracy, fast firing rate, and is easy to install. It is currently the top-level weapon in Qingtian City. Only the top-level troops can equip it. So far, Qingtian City’s army-breaking set has also
There are only about 5,000 pieces. Each major special force has its own specific military equipment and cannot be equipped with army-breaking suits. Therefore, these suits were first issued to the main battle corps. In addition, this corps advanced with the massacre of Chaisang City.
, the attack power has been greatly improved.
With just the first cluster of arrows, countless screams were heard on the opposite warship, and Jiangxia's elite soldiers fell to the ground in rows like wheat.
"The first row retreats, the second row launches..."
Without giving Huang Zu any time to react, the first row of soldiers who fired the arrow clusters quickly retreated into the protective range of the sword and shield men, while the second row of soldiers pointed the filled arrows at them.
The enemy formation launches past.
This is different from the stone bullets of catapults, which have no accuracy. Almost every arrow cluster can hit the target. Even if there is a defensive weapon such as a shield in the right hand, it cannot escape the fate of being penetrated. The army-breaking crossbow is powerful
With its penetrating power, ordinary Kaijia cannot provide any real protection at all.
Five thousand people, just five thousand people holding powerful crossbows, suppressed the Jiangxia navy brought by Huang Zu to the point where they couldn't even lift their heads. A hail of arrows filled the deck in less than a day.
Arrows, soldiers were hiding in cabins or behind shipyards, and a bold general stuck his head out. But the next moment, three arrows pierced his head, and a gasp could not help but come from around him.
Everyone lowered their heads.
Huang Zu's eyelids were twitching and his face was very ugly. He didn't expect Qingtian City to have such a sharp weapon. This battle would be impossible to fight. [To be continued...
