The water battle on the river was over, and the two armies gradually separated after half an hour of fighting, and then ended with a huge fleet fleeing westward. It is worth mentioning that the army of the princes always has more sense of belonging than the subordinates of the general, even if they have been abandoned by the main general, there are still hundreds of people who are unwilling to surrender and fight to the death, and finally are forced to jump into the river by Haikou with a strong bow and crossbow.

Brilliant results!

This victory seemed too easy for Xue Zhou, and at first he just wanted to give Cao Jun a blow by surprise and try his luck by capturing two huge merchant ships, which were stored enough grain and clothing for them to prepare for the winter. Who knew that the resistance of the Cao army was their unexpected laxity, and even what made Xue Zhou feel extremely paradoxical was that this Cao army's naval division looked as if it had no experience in water warfare at all.

Combat in the water is not as easy to control as on land, and if the plan is changed, the situation will exceed the general's expectations. Most of the sailors sent out by Xue Zhou to block Cao's boats became the main force of the battle, and the Cao's boats were swept to pieces, so hundreds of sailors who were originally the main force to snatch merchant ships also joined the battlefield, driving the merchant ships to split the waves and rampage across the river.

At this point, the battle was over, and Cao's fleet fled westward, taking away more than half of the ships, leaving dozens of ships to be destroyed and sunk in the battle, but Xue Zhou also gained a lot.

They seized two huge merchant ships, and the rest picked up all the ones that were replaced with their ships, and fished up the robes and surrendered prisoners who fell into the water on the shore, and even salvaged some armor and crossbows in the river, and then the more than 40 intact ships dragged more than 30 damaged ships to the east, leaving behind a mess of warship wreckage on the river.

At the end of the war, Xue Zhou counted the pirates who followed him, more than 700 people were killed and missing, and more than 600 people were wounded, some of them were too injured to survive, but they still had more than 1,000 people's combat strength, not to mention that they could get these warships, and they could pull up a huge fleet by repairing them, and the combat power on the river was not reduced but increased compared with before.

Xue Zhou's luck is very good, there is a bilge in the merchant ship with 10,000 catties of horse jerky and some other grain, although the bilge is not known in the battle by which ship to break the ship's board and cause flooding, but as long as there is food, it is enough, not to mention that there are more than 60 horses in the ship, good war horses, each covered with leather armor. In addition, another merchant ship was stocked with armor, enough heavily armored pockets to arm a hundred men, and bows and crossbows that were enough to compensate for his losses in water battles, and the harvest was beyond his expectations.

Xue Zhou didn't know that Cao Cao was already so angry that he wanted to sacrifice to the sky because of this water bandit who came out of nowhere, his tiger and leopard ride, tiger and leopard ride!

As the killer tiger and leopard rider of Cao's land warfare, there were 200 soldiers in the two merchant ships, and most of them died in the belly of the fish as the merchant ships were snatched away, and the rest of the armor and war horses needless to say, they were all Cao Cao's hometown accumulated from north to south, even if he lost Yanzhou and Yuzhou, he was not so distressed, but more than 200 long-standing tiger and leopard riders were attacked by a group of water thieves on the river and then all killed!

How could Cao Cao not be angry!

But in fact, not all of them were killed, at least a few tigers and leopards on the ship surrendered, but Cao Cao definitely didn't want to know.

Xuezhou's attack was worse for Cao Cao, but the support of Cao Dashanren, who was famous in Peiguo, was now a relief for Xuezhou. Xue Zhou did not dare to land in the center of Jiangxia when the army was weak, and took the three fighting ships that Tian Yu gave him that were docked in the reeds by the river, and instead took Yingshui to the north and east, until Suixian at the junction of Runan, Jiangxia, and Nanyang counties dared to dock, and at the same time sent a message to Zhang Jaw of Nanyang and Zhang Liao of Runan to inform him of the news of resting here.

Watching the pirates on the shore drag the merchant ship to the sand upside down, slash and axe to remove the ship's plank, and tinker with those ships in full swing, Xue Zhou's heart was finally put back in his stomach. To tell the truth, even if he just sent someone to send a message to General Duliao Zhang Jaw and Xiaocai General Zhang Liao, it made Xue Zhou, the leader of the pirates, feel uncertain, how to say everything he has now...... Everything was like a dream, unreal.

There were three huge fighting ships parked on the shore, and there were more than 60 ships around them, and the fleet looked intimidating. This kind of warship that can support more than 170 sailors and is dedicated to hand-to-hand combat in the water, Xue Zhou has never used it in the past, of course he knows that this ship is good, even against the larger merchant ships, the reinforced fighting ship can poke a big hole in the bow of the fighting ship, the reason why Xue Zhou did not use them to fight is because he never thought that he could defeat Cao Cao.

Xue Zhou just wanted to seek wealth and danger, anyway, he couldn't survive this winter without military food and thick clothes, so he wanted to grab a merchant ship and hurry away...... Cao Jun may not be able to catch up with him, he has a seasoned sailor on his ship, and he runs fast!

Who would have thought that Cao Cao was really beaten away, and now Xue Zhou, who was lying on the beach on the shore basking in the warm autumn sun, couldn't help but suffer from gains and losses, if he took these three fighting ships, would he be able to directly sink Cao Cao's fighting ships?

Let's also mix up a general under King Zhao!

Xue Zhou really didn't think that he would have today. In the past, he was a pirate leader begging for a living outside the Qingxu Coast, and he had nothing to do with the Central Plains Chaos and the Kanto and Western Wars, anyway, if he could save some of the people who were killed by the military rebellion, he would save a little bit, and when he saw the merchant fleet at sea, he would grab a vote.

Later, thanks to Guangling's Taishou Chen Deng, he looked up to him, personally sent a famous thorn, and then took a boat to the sea to see him, flattered he didn't think about anything, and took the ten thousand people who followed him on the island to settle in Guangling, and he also became a captain.

Later, the Yan clan hit the south, to be honest, no one felt more deeply than his Yan prestige, the earliest he dominated the sea, north to the Bohai sea to Yangzhou, but where there was a large number of merchant ships he wanted to touch, but later there was a sailor in Liaodong, he never dared to enter the Bohai Sea again; Immediately after Qingzhou Donglai also became the port of the Yan Navy, his living space was once again compressed, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

The Yan clan is a big man, the other family's fleet has thousands of warships, and the flag is enough to cover the blue sea, how dare he be with the Yan clan for a long time?

But now he is also the captain of the Yan clan, and he personally led the troops to defeat Cao Cao's fleet? Xue Zhou still feels like a dream, until the sun is setting, the river wind makes Xue Zhou cold, and he still holds his fingers and thinks: This, will these Yan bigwigs recognize their merits?

Immediately after, there were galloping riders from Nanyang who came with a message from the infantry general Gao Lan, "Please Captain Xue lead the troops to enter Suixian, Suixian Water Village has been cleaned up and can be stationed at any time." ”

Before he had time to be happy, Zhang Liao from Runan also sent a letter, "Captain Xue's battle has strengthened the courage of our army, and Liao Dang personally asks the king for credit for you!" ”
