Chapter 1086: Water War
Sun Ce's refusal to surrender was also expected.
The two actually have nothing to talk about, their friendship has long been gone, and in the past few years, the two sides have been filthy to each other, where is there any friendship.
Sun Ce went back, and Zhang Yu also left.
"Lord, when will the fight start." Dian Wei was more concerned about when the war would be fought, and Zhang Yu asked as soon as he came back.
"Don't worry, wait for the waterway to be ready, and attack in two directions." Zhang Yu said.
Naturally, the waterway was not to attack the city, but to attack the camp in Chibi.
After waiting for two days, the navy arrived, and it was through Jiangxiakou.
Sun Ce was in the city, and he could see the Jiangdong naval army like a long dragon, with hundreds of large and small ships, killing upstream.
"Attack."
The waterway attacked, Zhang Yu and the others naturally had to attack, and the soldiers began to storm the city wall.
The morale was high, and the soldiers were all fighting with all their might.
On the way, the army stormed the city.
On the river, the navy army went to Chibi to kill.
In Chibi, Zhou Yu got a lot of fireboats and many lit rafts, and went downstream.
He tried to burn the convoy in Jiangdong.
Zhou Yu was upstream, and the fireboat could directly impact it.
A large number of fireboats and bamboo rafts make it difficult for downstream ships to avoid them.
"Go up to the top of the boat and move the fireboat out of the way."
The first three ships caught fire, and the naval commander asked the small boats to open the way in front and moved the fireboats away.
There were quite a few fireboats, and it was very troublesome to clean up, and many small boats were also on fire.
But as long as you stop them and let them burn, after a long time, the ship will burn and sink.
It's just that this is very time-consuming.
Time is wasted, and the fireboat must be cleared.
It took more than two hours to burn more than a dozen small boats and three large boats to clean up all the fire boats on the river.
After the fleet is organized, the departure continues.
The fleet continued to move forward, and Zhou Yu was ready in front.
When the fleet approached Chibi, Zhou Yu personally led the fleet to attack.
They laid an ambush on the riverside, and suddenly a large number of ships rushed out on both sides.
"The boat goes to resist the enemy, and you can't let the opponent's fleet ram it."
Although it was ambushed, Koto's fleet was also prepared and did not panic.
Zhou Yu's fleet was very fast, the boats were running along the water, and the sailors were still rowing desperately.
"Ignition."
A few rows of small boats in front lit a fire, allowing the boats to ram at them.
The momentum is very strong, and the speed is very fast.
Inevitably, many of the ships ahead were rammed, or even directly overturned, and sank into the river.
Some sailors took out long wooden sticks to stop Zhou Yu's boat.
This time, Zhou Yu's fireboat was lit after getting closer, and it burned longer and the fire was more fierce.
Several ships were set on fire, sailors used various methods to extinguish the fire, and some of the boat's drinking water was dumped.
"Kill."
The war drums on the river sounded in unison, and Zhou Yu led the army to kill him.
Zhou Yu was very powerful, the fleet was very fast, and the soldiers on the ship shot arrows and killed the Tang army.
It was very sharp, and after the kill, Datang's fleet was hit head-on and suffered great losses.
The generals of the Tang Dynasty ordered a counterattack, and several crossbow arrows were fired, stopping the enemy's arrogance.
"Direct intermediate impact in the past, continuous impact."
The generals of the Tang Dynasty found that although the enemy was powerful, the ships were not as advanced as them, and the number was not as large as theirs.
So breaking through from the middle, the enemy wanted to surround them, and the army of the Tang Dynasty wanted to directly separate the enemy from the middle, and then divide and annihilate it.
The two armies then began to struggle for dominance.
The Tang army was relatively large and much stronger, and there were many crossbow arrows, and they rushed forward with all their might, and the sailors on both sides of the ship attacked the enemy.
And Zhou Yu's army still had the advantage and tried to continue to besiege the Tang Dynasty's fleet.
A fierce battle broke out between the two sides on the water, and the fight was fierce.
But the Tang army was relatively advanced after all, and went directly to the front, paying the price of sinking several large ships, and dividing the enemy army into two halves.
Zhou Yu was in a hurry, and in this way, half of the fleet lost its command.
Zhou Yu didn't expect Datang's fleet to be so strong.
I had never heard of such an army in Datang before, and even thought that it was temporarily recruited.
But they didn't know that the Datang Navy had built more than anyone else and had been training at sea for many years.
At this point, it was finally possible to fight.
The soldiers who operate the crossbow arrows are very skilled, and although it is the first time to fight, they are not used to it at first, but when they get used to it, they will exert their power.
A large number of crossbow arrows were like artillery bombardment, knocking Zhou Yu's fleet into a defensive state.
The Tang Dynasty's army finally rushed from the head to the tail of Zhou Yu's army, splitting their fleet in two.
Zhou Yu originally wanted to besiege them with fleets on both sides.
I didn't expect Datang's fleet to be so bold and directly impact it, not afraid of being attacked from both sides.
Zhou Yu had no choice but to continue to fight them.
When the fleet behind caught up, Zhou Yu knew that there was no way to do it.
So he could only take part of the fleet back to defend the camp.
There is a generational difference between the two armies, and there is also a difference in numbers.
It takes a lot of money to build a fleet, and the maintenance costs are very high.
Therefore, Zhou Yu couldn't beat it and retreated to the water village.
Datang's fleet surrounded and annihilated the other part of the fleet.
Several large ships surrounded them, and crossbows and bows and arrows were fired in unison, and in a moment they were beaten without the power to fight back.
Zhou Yu went back, and his face was always bad.
"Send someone to inform the lord of the situation here." As soon as he went back, Zhou Yu said to the soldiers around him.
Zhou Yu's tactics and command are no problem, but he is not very good at intelligence.
Zhang Yu's strategy was to clear the ground on both sides of the army first, so as not to give them too many opportunities to scout his own fleet.
Although they knew that there were huge numbers this time, they did not know the specific configuration, nor did they know what the level of the water army was.
When formulating the tactics of war, there was a big mistake.
This navy was not formed recently, but a navy that was built up a long time before them.
Zhou Yu was defeated and retreated, and it was not surprising that Zhang Yu's family's navy had been training at sea and was not known, and Zhang Yu rarely let them fight.
Now that he has just engaged in the battle, the opponent is used to fighting with Cai Mao and them, and when he encounters Zhang Yu's army, he suddenly becomes uncomfortable and is defeated.
It took more than half a day to annihilate the remaining ships, and it was already dark after the battle.
The Datang Navy took the initiative to retreat.
The night was a little cold, but Zhou Yu's army's heart was even cooler.
In Jiangxiakou, Zhang Yu also stopped the attack, and the one-day offensive did not make much progress.
Sun Ce has reached the last moment, it is impossible to give in at all, as long as Zhang Yu is blocked, they will have a chance to survive.
The battle situation is no longer a matter of Zhang Yu and Sun Ce, Cai Mao and Cao Cao are more anxious than Sun Ce, and only Liu Bei has just obtained Shuchuan, and Shuchuan is not easy to attack, so he hurried to recuperate at this time.
