At this time, Yu Ban's boat was also nearby.

The scene of Gan Ning just now still lingered in his mind.

"Gan Jiangjun, why are you like this?"

After being silent for a long time, Yu Ban said as if talking to himself:

"I just said that there was a good fight on land, why are you leaving alone?"

Speaking of this, Yu Ban couldn't help but sigh.

And here, the water counterattack of the Jiangdong Army was also wiped out.

This process lasted for more than an hour, and there were many casualties on Cao Jun's side, more than 100 small boats sank, and countless Cao Jun were killed and injured and drowned.

Of course, the price paid by the Jiangdong Army was even more tragic.

After this tragic battle, the Jiangdong water troops were basically wiped out, and they also lost two generals, Gan Ning and Huang Gai.

At this time, Cao Cao had been watching the battle with a telescope in the rear, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Jiangdong is so talented, it's a pity that such a fierce general can't be used by me!"

Cao Cao has a characteristic, that is, he likes to get all other people's strategists and generals into his own military camp.

And for the love of talents, Cao Cao is definitely better than many ancient and modern emperors.

"Someone came to give an order, bury Huang Gai and Gan Ning!"

At this time, Cao Cao said to the soldiers beside him.

"This battle is really thanks to Cao Shuo's son!"

At this time, Xun Yu, who was following Cao Cao, couldn't help but sigh:

"If it weren't for these ten divine ships and artillery, it is estimated that with our ability, we would not be able to compete with such a brave Jiangdong Army at all!"

"Indeed, it seems that I underestimated them too much."

Guo Jia on the side also nodded:

"The Yangtze River has been a dangerous place since ancient times, and it is really difficult to defeat them with such a frontal attack!"

Many strategists have now changed their previous eyes from underestimating the enemy, and they have also faced this battle squarely.

At the beginning, they always thought that as long as the artillery sounded, the Jiangdong Army would definitely have to surrender.

But in hindsight, this conjecture could not have been more wrong.

Sun Quan and Liu Bei, they are not fuel-efficient lamps, and it is not so simple to defeat them.

Even if you can really take Jingzhou and the Yangtze River, you have to pay a certain price.

At this time, Cao Shuo had also been watching from the deck, and when he saw that the battle situation had been decided, he immediately said to Cao Ang: "Big brother, now is the best time for the soldiers to land!" ”

Cao Ang had been looking at the ships killed by Huang Gai and Gan Ning since just now, and when he heard Cao Shuo's words, he nodded as if he had just woken up from a dream and said:

"Okay, now strike!"

Immediately, Cao Shuo waved the battle flag and ordered all Cao troops to start landing according to the plan.

On Sun Quan's side, everyone's faces were not good-looking.

They originally thought that water warfare was Cao Cao's weakness, and they would definitely be able to suffer heavy losses and not be able to land.

But I didn't expect that even after losing the two generals Gan Ning and Huang Gai, only a small part of the Cao army was destroyed.

This kind of result was unacceptable to both Sun Quan and Liu Bei.

"I saw the cannon just now... It's scary! ”

At this time, Zhou Yu said as if he was emotional:

"If we had this magical weapon, we would definitely be able to turn the situation around, and we would not be as passive as we are now."

Hearing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh slightly.

This is the battle lost on hard power, even if Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu are resourceful, but there is still no way to use artillery.

"Now, it's up to the landing operation!"

At this time, Zhou Yu said as if talking to himself:

"When we get closer, we can use Mr. Zhuge Liang's repeater, maybe we can inflict heavy damage on them!"

"Indeed, now that the crossbow bolts are well prepared, it is not so easy for them to land."

At this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly heard a crisp young man's voice.

Looking back, a white-clothed long-haired young man said with a smile:

"Although their guns are powerful, they are on a ship after all, and the wobbly situation will make the guns lose their accuracy."

"Indeed..."

Zhou Yu just nodded when he heard this, and then turned his face away.

Many of the strategists present were not too criminal about this young man.

This young man only recently came to Sun Quan's side, Lu Qian, who is not yet eighteen years old.

Everyone just heard that he was smart and well-read, so he was recommended to stay by Sun Quan's side.

Sun Quan is also a person who likes talents, and he also admires Lu Qian very much, but even so...

His qualifications are still too low, and what he says can't attract the attention of others.

After all, most of the people who were around Sun Quan and Liu Bei at this time were people who were born and died with them, and Lu Qian was still just a fledgling.

"Now, it's time to get ready for battle."

At this time, Liu Bei glanced at Sun Quan and said.

"Now, it's up to you!"

Sun Quan smiled bitterly, and then patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder.

Zhou Yu was appointed by Sun Quan as the commander-in-chief of this operation, and his official position was similar to that of Cao Ang.

At this time, the Cao army cleared the Jiangdong Army on the water and was preparing to come over and land.

"Trebuchet ready!"

At this time, Zhou Yu stood on the observation deck and said to the soldiers.

"Whoosh..."

Immediately, he heard a muffled voice in the distance, and saw many black dots flying in the sky.

Sun Quan and Liu Bei's side mainly defended the shore area, and trebuchets were the best weapons against ships.

And Sun Quan also ordered the soldiers to build a lookout before, so that they could better observe the movements of Cao's army.

But even though Zhou Yu did his best to build the defenses, the trebuchet had a fatal problem:

Accuracy is not good.

Trebuchets and artillery are both powerful weapons, but the way they aim is very different.

Artillery can be aimed at a wave in detail, but trebuchets can basically only depend on the will of heaven and luck.

To put it bluntly, it's basically no different from a lottery.

But on Cao Jun's side, since he wants to go ashore, all the ships have to get closer.

Soon, one round of attacks by catapults ended, and the Jiangdong Army quickly adjusted its angle and launched another round of attacks.

"Whoosh..."

Most of the boulders still smashed on the surface of the river, but a few of them hit Cao Jun's ship, which immediately chiseled a large hole in the deck, and the broken wood chips flew wildly for a while.

A few unlucky soldiers didn't have time to dodge and were smashed into a ball of flesh.

"Now adjust the angle and fire!"

Cao Shuo saw the boulder and immediately conveyed the order.

Although it is said that most of the warships on Cao Jun's side do not fire from angles now, Cao Shuo's warship is equipped with dozens of artillery.

When Cao Jun heard Cao Shuo's order, he immediately adjusted the angle of the warship and started a round of attack.
