The navy was the main force, and Yu Jin was a little worried. Although there were a series of warships stationed there, which was much stronger than the previous bumps, the Yangtze River was wide after all, and no warship no matter how big it was could really be like the land. Yu Jin sent the ship to The team was divided into three lines, divided into left, middle and right. On the left and right sides were chain ships of ten warships, and in the middle was a chain ship of five tower ships. All the chain ships had removed the cabin of the warship in the middle. , soldiers inside and outside as defense. Three huge warships sailed towards the south of the Yangtze River.
Mao Jie was in a good mood. The last sneak attack on Wuchang was successful, and the image of the navy changed. He, the deputy general, also took the honors. Everyone called him "general" wherever he went, which was so beautiful in his heart! Standing on the bow of the ship, he saw the sky. The water is blue and clear, and even the small fish that occasionally wander in the river are so cheerful. The soldiers were a little nervous. Mao Jie laughed and signaled them to relax. He did not take this battle to heart. According to him It is estimated that their navy can compete with the Jiangdong navy, and can even fight with Long Fei's navy.
"Dang-dang-dang..." A series of sirens sounded, and the Jiangdong Army's camp was in chaos. The soldiers hurriedly grabbed the weapons around them and returned to their posts. The corps commander, captain, captain, captain and even general, The commander-in-chief came out to watch one after another. Even Huang Gai dragged his injured buttocks out to see. Zhou Yu was seriously ill and Lu Su was no longer around, so Han Dang naturally became the supreme commander of the Jiangdong Army.
"Report..., generals, Cao Cao's navy is challenging in the river, there is...!" The ordering soldier said half of what he said, and he didn't know what to say next.
"Tell me! What's going on?" Han Dang's face sank and he stared at the messenger.
"There are three huge ships with a large number of people, no less than ten thousand people!"
"A giant ship? Is it the same giant ship as the Jingzhou navy?" Zhu Huan, the navy general, asked hurriedly.
The messenger shook his head hurriedly: "It's several warships connected together, like a small island!"
Han Dang frowned. The spies had already reported to him that Cao Cao was building a series of warships, but he didn't expect that it was actually completed. He didn't know who gave Cao Cao the idea. It might not be easy to fight this.
Zhu Huan said: "The people in the north are not used to water warfare. General, the last general will lead the water army to attack!"
Han Dang did not speak. Huang Gai said: "Cao Cao's warships are so huge that walking on the river is like walking on flat ground. People in the north of the Yangtze River can move freely, but our warships are much smaller, so it would be better to ask Long Fei for help!" "
Han Dang nodded. Zhu Huan said angrily: "Cao Jun attacked our Jiangdong just to see that we had no one in Jiangdong and wanted help from the Jingzhou navy. Who will be responsible if we win? Our Jiangdong navy is not a decoration. Even if Cao Jun's warships are no longer He is also driven by a Northerner who is very powerful, and our navy will never be afraid of him!"
Han Dang still didn't speak. Quan Duan shook his head slightly: "Cao Cao's navy is not trained enough to fight. Since it dares to come so brazenly, it is better to be more careful. General Huang is right. Jingzhou navy has huge ships and should be able to compete with Cao Cao. A series of warships."
"You are all cowardly people, look at me destroying Cao Cao's chain warships!" Without Han Dang's order, Zhu Huan turned around and took the captains under him. The captains turned around and walked out of the tent, heading straight for the water. Military camp.
Without Han Dang speaking, others did not dare to leave. After a long time, Han Dang said: "Then let's fight and see how strong Cao's army is. Everyone, be careful. General Quan, I order you to immediately lead the navy to hold the battle for General Zhu. , the remaining generals will guard the four gates to guard against Cao Cao's sneak attack."
Yu Jin has been paying close attention to the situation of the Jiangdong Navy Camp. The camp door suddenly opened, and dozens of warships rushed out from the Navy Camp. The small boats rode the wind and waves in the water, walking freely. The generals and soldiers on the ship did not move because they were in the water.
If they feel any discomfort, they spread their legs one by one, waiting for the final battle.
Generally speaking, water battles are divided into three steps. First, they shoot bows and arrows at each other, then the two ships collide, and finally they jump to the opposite ship and start fighting hand-to-hand. At that time, there were no long-range weapons of mass destruction. Bows and arrows with fire were the most popular.
A good attack method. The two sides started shooting arrows at each other a few hundred steps away. Jiangdong's army was familiar with it, and Cao's army won because there were more people on the ship.
The flaming bows and arrows shuttled back and forth in the air, and the ones nailed to the side of the boat made a banging sound and began to burn the wooden hull. The ones shot on people not only caused the injured soldiers to suffer miserably, but also ignited the wounds on their bodies.
Military uniforms. Only those arrows that accidentally fell into the river would make a hissing sound and float lightly on the water.
The bow and arrow exchange between the two sides was very fierce at the beginning, both trying to suppress the other side with powerful arrow rain, but it seemed that the effect was not very good. The warships on both sides were slowly approaching. Zhu Huan ordered the small boats to be shot first, and his men
The warship immediately split into two and rushed towards the small boats on the left and right. Yu Jin commanded the archers on the large ship to shoot arrows in a scattered manner, hoping to attract the Jiangdong navy.
Jiangdong Army dispatched ten large ships and five or six small ships to this battle. These warships were like a pack of wolves, surrounding Cao Jun's chain of warships at the core. "Bang! Bang bang!..." One after another, small boats and large ships
The collision between them made a dull sound. In the past, the people on both sides of the ship would stagger after such a collision, but this time it seemed that the opponent did not move at all.
"Come aboard!"
They tied their own ship to Cao Jun's ship with ropes. The soldiers clung to the opposite side of the ship and began to climb up, shouting. The strong resistance caused their boarding speed to suddenly slow down. Cao Jun's ship poured out of the cabin.
Zhu Huan obviously did not expect that there were large numbers of infantry with spears in their hands. According to his past experience, naval warships, due to limited space, only had some defensive swordsmen and shieldmen in addition to archers and boatmen.
These infantrymen holding halberds should be new additions to Cao's army.
Zhu Huan yelled and cut off several halberds that were reaching towards him with a knife. Braving the overwhelming arrows, he struggled to climb onto the Cao army's warship. When he stared, he saw that the deck of Nuo Da was densely packed with Cao army soldiers. The boatmen
They were all below the deck, with only the oars sticking out of the boat, and no need for the protection of swordsmen and shields. Zhu Huan rushed left and right, and went to where there were more people. However, Cao's army was too numerous, and he could not kill them all.
.
The Jiangdong navy that rushed up behind Zhu Huan had been slaughtered by Cao's army. However, the navy soldiers on the warship could not get on board at all. Seeing that Zhu Huan was about to become the prey of Cao's army, Quan Duan immediately ordered to release arrows.
The sharp arrows made a banging sound and killed Cao Jun who was standing on the deck. Cao Jun, who was well prepared, immediately put up a shield wall to avoid it. The halberd man hid behind the sword and shield man and continued to fight with Zhu Huan. It was not easy.
After breaking out of the siege, he turned around and saw a large group of Cao soldiers rushing towards him from behind. Zhu Huan hurriedly jumped onto his warship.
The battle on the small boats on both sides was not easy. No one dared to approach the big ship in the middle. Yu Jin ordered that the big ship be used to ram the small boat of the Jiangdong Army. The huge impact of the big ship smashed the defense line of the Jiangdong Navy to pieces. The Navy
The soldiers fell into the water one after another. When Zhu Huan jumped off, the warship happened to be rubbed by Yu Jin's big ship. The tall ship has a high center of gravity, and it may capsize if it encounters a slightly stronger wind and wave. If it was rubbed by the huge ship, the warship would be destroyed.
The boat kept rocking in the water, and the five-story building was about to capsize.
Quan Duan once again ordered to fire arrows, hoping to stop the movement of Yu Jin's ship. Mao Jie laughed loudly: "They are still shooting arrows, brothers, work harder to sink them!" Huge waves rose under the ship. Five
The boatmen on each ship took action together, and the warship slowly changed its direction and headed towards the end.
Zhu Huan stumbled, and his feet were free, and he flipped sideways into the water. The heavy armor restrained him and kept pulling him into the water. Fortunately, Zhu Huan had better water resistance, so he waved his hands and feet vigorously, and desperately grabbed a wooden board.
, so that it would not sink. However, this also gave Cao Jun a chance. The archer looked at Zhu Huan lying on the wooden plank and immediately fired his arrow. Zhu Huan had to cheer up again, got off the wooden plank, and swam to the shore.
Quan Duan watched helplessly as the large ships of Cao Cao's navy were rushing among the Jiangdong navy, but there was nothing he could do. When he saw Yu Jin's large ships coming towards him, he immediately ordered his troops to retreat.
"Dang, dang, dang..." A series of gongs sounded, which made the almost exhausted Jiangdong naval forces take a deep breath. If the attack continued, the whole army would be annihilated. When they heard the gongs, those who were boarding the ship immediately climbed down.
The boatmen rowed hard with their oars, hoping to leave this battlefield as soon as possible.
Only then did Quan Duan see the place not far from his warship. Zhu Huan shouted loudly as he sank and floated, and immediately sent a boat to pull Zhu Huan up. Zhu Huan lay down on the deck, and streams of water flowed from his mouth.
of river water.
This battle came and went quickly. As Jiangdong's army retreated, Cao's army did not pursue it. The damaged boats and corpses on the river were carried downstream by the river. On the narrow river, a line of red water
The belt was particularly eye-catching. While shouting loudly, Cao Jun threw the Jiangdong soldiers who died on their ship into the Yangtze River, making a "Plop! Plop!" sound.
Long Fei had a strong point. He led his men on a highland by the river and witnessed the water battle with his own eyes. In this battle, the Jiangdong Army lost ten warships, large and small, more than 3,000 soldiers, and countless equipment.
.Although Cao's army was also damaged, not a single warship was lost, which was considered a great victory.
"Cao Cao's navy is so powerful!" Dian Wei was not only surprised.
Xu Shu praised: "Yu Jinguo has the talent of a naval force. He can train such a naval force in just half a year. It's really impressive!"
Zhou Tai was quite dissatisfied: "If it weren't for the warships, Cao's army would have been defeated long ago!"
But Long Fei laughed loudly: "Okay! Very good! Cao Cao's navy is unstoppable, and our strategy will be more certain! Hahaha..." Guo Jia and Pang Tong looked at each other, looking at Long Fei slightly.
