The next day, it was a clear sky, the banks of the Yangtze River under the scorching summer sun, shrouded in a layer of steaming heat, it was already the end of July, the temperature was not about to start autumn and decreased, but the past few days have risen a lot.

In the past few days, the temperature has been rising, and today, it is estimated that it has risen to the highest, so that in the early morning, under the scorching sun, it seems to be steamed on the stove.

In the camp of the Jiangdong Navy Army, all the warships are ready, lined up on the river, there are about 200 large and small ships, and the soldiers accommodated on each warship are also different, but the total is only 30,000 people.

30,000 people are already all the troops under Zhou Yu, this time, Zhou Yu gathered all together without reservation, in order to be able to fight Zhang Yan and kill him, and severely damage the enemy's naval army, take advantage of the victory to pursue, land and fight, and completely defeat the Han army on the shore.

In this battle, Zhou Yu was full of confidence and firmly believed in this victory.

Therefore, Zhou Yu assigned 10,000 troops to Chen Wu and Dong Xi, the deputy generals of the navy, which were located on his left and right flanks, so that Ling Cao was the vanguard, Pan Zhang and Tan Xiong were subordinate to Chen Wu and Dong Xian respectively, and Zhu Huan and Ling Tong stayed by their side and were ready to be dispatched at any time.

Ling Cao led 3,000 soldiers and 50 warships to take the lead in setting off, followed by Zhou Yu, Chen Wu, Dong Xi and others, and the group slowly marched towards the Han army's water barracks.

Ling Cao stood on the bow of the ship with a shield in his left hand and a saber in his right hand. Plough the waves. A look of excitement. The high-spirited appearance also looks very majestic.

When the fleet sailed to the center of the river, Ling Cao fixed his eyes on some of the Han army's patrol boats, and those ships in charge of patrolling also saw them, and immediately sounded the gong and drum, spreading the news of the enemy's attack to the naval army camp.

In the Han army's water army camp, Sima Yi was gathering all the soldiers of the Jingzhou water army together, and was telling how to fight this battle. As soon as he heard that there was an enemy attack, he immediately ran outside the tent to take a look, and after learning that it was the Jiangdong Navy who came to attack, Sima Yi's face showed a faint smile, and he said to himself: "It's finally here!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Sima Yi shouted at the soldiers of the navy behind him: "All of them are acting according to the original plan!" ”

"Whoa!" The crowd replied in unison.

After a while, the entire Jingzhou naval camp was boiling, and the soldiers boarded the warships one after another, opened the gate of the naval barracks, and hundreds of warships sailed out of the naval barracks that stretched for more than ten miles. After a while, there was a large area of black pressure on the river. The flag of the Han army fluttered in the wind on various warships.

At the forefront was the vanguard fleet led by Wen Ping, a total of thirty warships, each with a hundred soldiers, all of whom were archers who were good at archery in the navy, and they formed the first echelon to meet the enemy.

Wen Ping led the vanguard fleet, attacked 3,000 soldiers, rushed into the Yangtze River as fast as possible, and then drew their bows and arrows one after another, and began to shoot fiercely at the rushing enemy.

The water military camp in Xiazhi County belongs to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and although the pioneer fleet led by Wen Ping is downstream and does not need too much manpower, it is in a state of headwind. Although the attack of the Jiangdong naval army was against the current, it was downwind, and the warship raised its sails, and with the help of the wind, as long as the helmsman grasped the direction of the ship, it did not need too much manpower to operate the ship.

However, the fleet led by Wen Ping was going downstream, and no matter how much against the wind, it was much faster than the Jiangdong Army with a tailwind. However, a new problem has arisen, they belong to the headwind state, the arrows shot out are affected by the wind, basically not very accurate, not too far, a cluster of arrows fell, not only did not hit the enemy soldiers, but all fell into the Yangtze River because of the influence of the wind, and were swept away by the waves without a trace.

Seeing this, Ling Cao was naturally overjoyed, so he ordered his subordinates to also start releasing arrows, because they were in a tailwind state, so the lethality and range of the arrows were much farther.

After the Jiangdong naval army finished shooting a cluster of arrows, the Han army's naval army fell a piece of people, not to mention one or two hundred.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot them with arrows! Ling Cao ordered as he waved the long knife in his hand.

Arrows rained down and flew between the two armies, but due to the influence of the wind, the arrows shot by the soldiers of the Han army could not touch the Jiangdong army, and the Han army was completely suppressed by the arrow array of the Jiangdong army.

The warships of the Han army went down the river, the speed of the ships was relatively fast, and soon, the warships of the two armies collided together, and the two armies began to engage in hand-to-hand combat in the center of the river, and fought a lot.

But just after a moment of fighting, Wen Ping ordered a retreat, but this is on the water, not on land, eagerly, not to say that you can retreat, Wen Ping killed several people, under the protection of the guards, jumped back and forth between the ships and ships, and finally arrived at a boat at the end, let the soldiers hold the penny, paddle and escape, and the rest of the ships were all blocked on the offensive route of the Jiangdong Army, but the soldiers on the ship raised their weapons and surrendered.

Ling Cao captured all the surrendered troops, and then waved the flag backwards, asking Zhou Yu what to do with these surrendered troops, Zhou Yu asked Ling Cao to release the prisoners, and then attacked the water army camp in a big way, targeting Zhang Yan, the king of Yan, and Sima Yi, the general of Pingnan.

At the same time as the vanguard Wenpin was defeated, the countless warships of the Han army on the river had been assembled, and surrounded by many ships, a huge ship slowly sailed out of the naval barracks, with the banner of "Zhang the regent of the Han Dynasty" and the banner of "General Pingnan", Zhou Yu looked at it from a distance, and knew that Zhang Yan and Sima Yi were on that boat.

So, Zhou Yu ordered the army to launch a fierce attack on the ships where Zhang Yan and Sima Yi were located, and divided the troops into three routes, the left route led by Chen Wu, the right route led by Dong Xi, and the middle route was led by Zhou Yu himself.

At this moment, in the Han army's water barracks, there was a sudden fire, billowing smoke rose into the sky, the fire gradually spread to all sides, and the shore seemed to have become a sea of fire.

At the same time, around the ships where Zhang Yan and Sima Yi were, large and small ships suddenly began to retreat back autonomously, leaving only dozens of ships lined up in front of Zhang Yan and Sima Yi.

This sudden scene made Zhou Yu, who was far away on the fighting ship, see it, he knew that this was the result of Huang Zhong and his internal and external cooperation, and his heart was overjoyed, and when he saw the dozens of warships left by Zhang Yan and Sima Yi, he immediately let out a hysterical cry: "Kill!" Kill me! Anyone who can kill Sima Yi will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and whoever kills Zhang Yan will be rewarded with ten thousand gold! (To be continued......)
