"Don't worry, let's hold off for a few days."

Zhou Yu shook his head slowly, Longxing Mansion couldn't run away there, he could take it at any time, and what was more important for him at the moment was to deal with the Yuanmeng Navy coming from Ezhou in the west.

The disparity between the two sides' forces is large, and Zhou Yu will not underestimate the enemy.

However, neither Zhou Yu, nor Yu Dayou, nor Liu Renliang expected that Ali Hague had no intention of starting a war with them at Poyang Lake. When the second day, when the front spy boat found the Yuanmeng warship and rushed back to report, it said a news that surprised Zhou Yu and others.

"The Yuanmeng warship did not enter Poyang Lake and went all the way east along the Yangtze River?"

I have to say that Ali Hague's strategy was indeed beyond the expectations and arrangements of Zhou Yu and others, and this naval army, which was supposed to come to the rescue of Jiangxi, walked away from them in such a grand manner.

"It's a funny thing, too."

Yu Dayou, who was already ready to prepare for the battle at Poyang Lake, spoke at this time, but there was a little smile in his eyes: "Come to think of it, this sailor is going to Lin'an." ”

Zhou Yu and Liu Renliang nodded slowly, neither of them spoke, but when they looked at Yu Dayou, the three of them were asking each other a question with their eyes.

To chase or not to chase?

"Since we are here, if we don't express the friendship of the landlord, I'm afraid we won't be able to say it."

"Let's fight."

"Crossing the river with a treasure ship, that is, the Yuanmeng naval army wants to turn its head and fight with us, and we can also calmly retreat, and it doesn't hurt to fight."

As the three of them said one sentence after another, the large and small warships in the water village quickly started.

Seeing that the three of them were leading the troops to leave, Bai Hualin immediately asked, "What about me?" I'm waiting for you to come back? ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he shook his head with a smile: "No need, isn't Miss Bai going to fight Longxing?" You can go now, Yilongxing now has only a few hundred soldiers, but he can't stop the girl's plundering army. ”

"Okay, you go to pursue the Yuanmeng Naval Army, and I'll fight Longxing." Bai Hualin's face was happy, she was waiting for this sentence.

After that, Zhou Yu immediately boarded the warship, and Bai Hualin also resumed his previous disguise and returned to his troops.

Both sides sent troops at the same time, all north and all south.

………

"Boom Boom~~"

It's the summer solstice, and the weather in Jiangnan is also changing.

In the morning, the sky was still clear, but in the afternoon it was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

Thunder rolled, lightning hissed.

Looking up at the dark and oppressive sky, Ali Hague was bored for a while, this ghost weather does not rain in the morning, and it does not rain in the evening, but he came to this when he was just about to cross Jiangxi, and sincerely blocked him.

"The order goes down and the whole army moves slowly, and when it rains hard, the wind is strong, so they should be careful." Although he didn't want to waste time in this river, Ali Hague still issued a sound military order.

Ali Hague's order had not been issued for half a pillar of incense, and the thunder and lightning were accompanied by a howling summer wind.

The raindrops the size of beans are also gradually falling.

When you hit someone, you can feel faintly painful.

"Why is it raining so suddenly?"

At the same time, Zhou Yu and others, who had just come out of the waters of Poyang with the fleet and rushed to the Yangtze River, were also caught off guard by this sudden heavy rain.

Although this kind of heavy rain is not comparable to the strong winds encountered when sailing at sea, the rolling waves on the river surface are indeed not conducive to pursuit navigation. The few that are not affected by the heavy rain are the treasure ships and the lucky ships.

"The big boat pursues, and the small boat slows down." Competing with the sky is obviously a stupid behavior, Yu Dayou saw the weather, and immediately waved his hand to give an order similar to Ali Hague.

Fortunately, this battle is just to follow the other party for a ride, and it is enough to have a few large ships continue to pursue.

Slow down in front and chase at the same speed in the rear.

In addition, the speed of the Huimeng passenger fleet was much faster than that of the Yuanmeng warship, and when the rainstorm lasted for a whole day, there was still no intention of stopping, and the distance between the two fleets had been shortened from nearly a hundred miles to only one or two miles.

The storm was still falling, and Yu Dayou and Liu Renliang, who were drenched all over, were on the deck directing the sailors to make final adjustments to the stone machine.

Wiping the beads of sweat on his face, Yu Dayou shouted, "Try two first?" ”

"Good!" The heavy rain was noisy, and Liu Renliang nodded immediately after barely hearing it.

"Loading stones!"

As Yu Dayou spoke, the two sailors in front of the left and right immediately picked up the boulder and put it into the stone trough.

As soon as everything was ready, the trigger of the stone machine was depressed.

"Whoosh~"

The boulder weighing twenty or thirty catties was thrown away in the torrential rain, and the sailor who launched the flying stone, Yu Dayou and others couldn't see where the stone flew, let alone the Yuanmeng fleet in advance.

"Boom~"

The boulder smashed on the river, although it did not directly hit the Yuanmeng warship, but it also scared the Yuan army on the warship enough.

As early as half an hour ago, they found that there were unknown warships following behind, but they sent people to report, but they never waited for the general's order, and at this moment, when they saw the rear warships attacking, they didn't care much, and they also began to organize a counterattack.

However, even the attack range of Yuan Meng's strongest trebuchet 'return cannon' was much worse than the trebuchet produced by the Great Dream City Arsenal Workshop loaded on the Fu ship, and when the Yuan army began to fight back, they found that their flying stones could not affect the warship behind them at all.

"Whoosh~"

Another burst of flying stones fell from the sky, and this time it was not just two stone machines that were launched, but a full fifteen stone machines at the same time.

The Fu ship of Big Dream City failed to load the cannon, but the huge hull was not wasted, and Zhou Yu ordered several rows of stone machines to be installed. And with the draft of the Fu ship, if it is fully loaded, it can store at least dozens of tons of boulders, and there is no worry that the 'ammunition' will be quickly exhausted.

"Boom Boom Boom~"

The sky thundered and roared, and the Yuanmeng warships on the river were also bombarded by boulders at this time. A thirty-pound stone falls from the air dozens of zhang high, even if it does not add any force, it can already generate huge kinetic energy just by free fall. The wooden plank is like a fragile cellophane at this point, and a hole can be made with the slightest touch.

"It's broken, the deck is smashed through."

"Run, the ship is sinking!"

The boulder smashed the boat, and there was more than one hole leaking, not to mention that it was still raining rainably, and the Yuanmeng sailors had no intention of resisting and remedy, all of them were running wildly on the rickety warship, and the lucky ones could grab the boat and launch the water, and the unlucky ones jumped directly into the Yangtze River and drifted downstream.

In the torrential rain, the riot on the warship in front, Zhou Yu and the others who were chasing could not see clearly. But I could vaguely see that there was a warship sinking into the river, and suddenly a smile appeared on my face.

This rainstorm is not in vain!

"Rushing over under the cover of the rainstorm, how many gains will be made in this battle, it depends on how many enemy ships can be destroyed tonight, tomorrow the sky will definitely change, and we can't chase too deep."

Liu Renliang opened his mouth with a loud voice, while Yu Dayou continued to direct the soldiers to load the trebuchet.

seized the opportunity, of course, to beat it up.
