408 water battles were lost
"Zhou Yu is leaving!" Xu Chu carried a steel knife and quickly chased after him from behind, running like the wind, like an arrow off the string, and when he saw that Zhou Yu had reached the shore, he hurriedly shouted.
Behind Xu Chu was a group of fierce soldiers, who followed closely behind Xu Chu, like hungry wolves, and pounced directly.
"Metropolitan Governor, you go first, Guan Mou will resist these people!" Guan Yu saw that there were only twenty entourages around Zhou Yu besides him, so he turned his body sideways and said to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu grabbed Guan Yu's hand, very hard, and then a strange smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face, and said to Guan Yu: "Use a knife to kill chickens?" ”
Guan Yu didn't understand what it meant, but he saw Zhou Yu raise his left hand and put it to his mouth and blew a clear whistle.
As soon as the whistle fell, Guan Yu noticed that thousands of soldiers emerged from the waters on the shore, all of them carrying a sharp blade in their hands, and slowly walked onto the shore, but they lined up on the shore at the fastest speed.
Guan Yu made a rough count, these soldiers, about 3,000 people, were already soaked with clothes all over their bodies, and even if they were standing there, water was still flowing on their bodies.
At the same time, hundreds of black shadows appeared on the horizontal plane in the distance, Guan Yu looked carefully, and only then did he see clearly that those black shadows were all warships, raising their sails, riding the wind and waves, and were speeding towards this small island.
"It turns out that Zhou Yu has been prepared!" Guan Yu said secretly in his heart.
Zhou Yu glanced at Guan Yu's expression, but saw that Guan Yu's face was not shocked, without a trace of ups and downs. His eyes were on the warships on the waters.
"General Guan. You are my guest. When I encounter an enemy situation, how can I let you defend me? We have our own army in Jiangdong, and although the naval army has just been trained, it is more than enough to deal with these enemies from Jiangbei. Please General Guan come with me on the boat, and I can watch the combat effectiveness of my Jiangdong Navy for a while! Zhou Yu said.
Before Guan Yu could react, he was pulled by Zhou Yu onto the fishing boat that had already been moored there, and Zhou Yu shouted to the boatman. The boatman immediately set sail and soon left the shore.
Zhou Yu and Guan Yu stood on the bow of the boat, facing the wind blowing on Peng Lize, and watched the battle on the island from afar.
The sudden appearance of the Jiangdong Navy made Xu Chu and the others take aback, they never expected that Zhou Yu had already prepared, and these Jiangdong Navy troops who were wet all over their bodies were able to avoid the sight of the patrol army, which shows that their water nature is excellent. It is able to be underwater for a long time without being detected.
Seeing that Zhou Yu was getting farther and farther away from the island, Xu Chu's mood plummeted. I thought that I would be able to catch Zhou Yu and get another great achievement, but I didn't expect the duck in my mouth to fly away again.
So, Xu Chu vented all his anger on these Jiangdong sailors who appeared, with a hideous face, and led his subordinates to rush towards the three thousand Jiangdong sailors who were wet.
However, these 3,000 Jiangdong sailors did not engage in the battle, and they jumped into the lake one after another without waiting for Xu Chu and the others to run over, and their bodies were like loaches, and they swam far away with a snort.
When Xu Chu ran to the shore with the people, the three thousand Jiangdong sailors were floating in the water, all facing the island, and laughed loudly at Xu Chu and the others.
Xu Chu is a landlubber, and there are few of his subordinates who can swim, even if they can swim, they don't dare to go into the water at this time, after all, there are 3,000 Jiangdong sailors with excellent water ability on the opposite side, and jumping into it is equivalent to going to death!
At this time, the warships of the Jiangdong Army all sailed towards the island, and took Zhou Yu onto a huge fighting ship.
Zhou Yu took Guan Yu to the top of the fighting ship, holding a command flag in his hand, and his eyes quickly swept over the entire island.
Near the island, Zhang Yan's army had approached from three sides, Li Dian on the left, Lu Dai on the right, and Chen Ying in the middle, and there were more than 1,000 large and small ships, like three huge torrents, rushing towards the Jiangdong naval army.
"Governor, the enemy is outnumbered, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, it is better to withdraw quickly, so as not to be surrounded by enemy troops!" Guan Yu saw that the other party had so many warships, so he deliberately said to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu sneered and said, "What can I do with the rabble?" General Guan, look at how I break the enemy! ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Yu waved the command flag in his hand, and after a while, the Jiangdong naval army stopped advancing one after another, and put away the sails, and the ships were arranged in the front, showing a cone-shaped array, and the ships were scattered on the two wings of the ships, Zhou Yu's fighting ship was located in the center of the entire naval army, on the left, right and back of the fighting ships, there were ships to escort, in addition, there were countless light boats lined up between large and small ships, corresponding to the three thousand sailors on board.
The formation of the entire navy was arranged, and the Jiangdong navy stood on the water, fluctuating with the wind and waves.
Yu Ban, Mao Jue and others had already been sent to Zhang Yan's fighting ship, and when they saw Zhang Yan appear here, they were immediately extremely surprised, Zhang Yan was about to talk to Yu Ban and Mao Jue, but he didn't want the news of the Jiangdong Navy to appear.
Zhang Yan immediately boarded the top of the fighting ship, and saw the Jiangdong Navy displayed in the southern waters of the island, and the warships led by Li Dian, Chen Ying, and Lu Dai were all waiting for orders.
So, Zhang Yan asked people to temporarily put Ban, Mao Jue and others into the cell, and drove the fighting ship to the other side of the island, where he commanded the water battle and prepared to fight Zhou Yu.
Zhang Yan's fighting ship soon came to the other side of the island, the warships of both sides were lined up in this water, and Zhou Yu was ready, Zhang Yan had just arrived, and before he could see how the enemy army was arranged, Zhou Yu suddenly attacked.
The more than 100 warships at the front of the line rushed towards the Chinese army at a rapid speed, dozens of building ships followed, and the starting lineup only had more than 100 warships, about 5,000 troops, while the rest of the warships stayed in place.
Zhang Yan saw that the warships that came to attack were just like that, so he sneered, and let Li Dian and Lu Dai attack from the left and right, and Chen Ying led the warships to meet the Chinese army, and ordered all the archers on the warship to be ready to shoot with their bows, and once the enemy entered the firing range, they would release arrows and kill.
Zhou Yu, who was commanding the battle from a distance, saw that the warships on the left and right flanks of the enemy army were moving, and his face showed a sinister smile.
Guan Yu has been staying by Zhou Yu's side, seeing Zhou Yu's expression, he seems to be confident, his eyes quickly scanned everything on the horizontal plane, and vaguely found some black shadows behind the enemy, those black shadows from far and near, Guan Yu quickly saw these black shadows clearly, it turned out to be five huge fighting ships lined up, directly attacking from behind the enemy.
The more than 100 ships that rushed to the front soon entered the range of the enemy's firing, and there was no order to give it, and on Zhang Yan's warship, the archers shot out countless arrows one after another, densely packed, like swarms of flying locusts, shooting towards those ships that rushed quickly.
At this moment, countless sailors jumped into the water from the ship, the bow of the ship was loaded with many flammable materials, ignited by the sailors, and soon became a huge fire ball, the ship with the water and the wind, unhindered collision with Zhang Yanjun's warship, the smaller warship was directly hit and sunk, the soldiers on the ship fell into the water one after another, the slightly larger warship was knocked out of a huge hole, the lake water seeped directly into the cabin, the ship was sinking little by little, although the larger ship was not a big problem, But the fire on the bow of the ship burned the hull, and the whole ship burned.
For a time, Zhang Yan's army was in a mess, and the soldiers on the warship jumped into the water in order to escape for their lives, but the water was far more dangerous than the ship.
In just a moment, Zhang Yan lost dozens of warships, and there were still dozens of warships burning, and with the help of the wind, the fire had a tendency to spread, but the sails of the neighboring ships were burned, one ship after another, and the fire spread beyond people's imagination.
There was fire on the water, there were Jiangdong water ghosts under the water, and the soldiers on the lost warships were facing the situation of being attacked on their backs, and they screamed again and again for a while, and blood stained the entire water.
At this time, the fighting ships that appeared from behind Zhang Yanjun were coming at full speed, and after Zhang Yan found these fighting ships, he commanded Li Dian to lead the army to intercept them, and the rest of the people all retreated.
However, the battle on the water was not like a battle on land, on land, as soon as Zhang Yan gave the order, the whole army turned around and began to retreat, and the birds and beasts scattered in a swarm.
However, on the water, it was restricted, and it was much more difficult for the warship to turn around, and Zhang Yan's sailors were too densely arranged, all of them were gathered together, and when they turned around, they all restrained each other, which caused Zhang Yan's sailors to lose more.
When Zhang Yan saw this, he immediately ordered a retreat in batches, and let Chen Ying lead his army to resist the enemy's attack.
After about a stick of incense, the navy was restored, and Zhang Yan's fighting ships left the battlefield first, followed by the rest of the large and small ships, which recovered some losses.
Guan Yu, who had been watching the battle on the fighting ship, saw such a scene, his face showed a trace of surprise, he never expected that the Jiangdong Navy was so strong under the command of Zhou Yu.
"Congratulations to the Metropolitan Governor, congratulations to the Metropolitan Governor, the Metropolitan Governor has a good command, defeating the enemy army with less, and making Guan admire!" Guan Yu arched his hand towards Hedao. (To be continued......)
