Zhou Yu retreated with the remaining ships.

But there were not many ships left, and in a panic, some ships crashed into each other and sank.

On the surface of the river, soldiers are fluttering.

They are all very good in the water, as long as they are not crushed by the sunken ship and their bodies are not injured, with their water nature, even if they can't climb another boat, they can swim to the shore by themselves.

For them who have been training in Panyang Lake all year round, this physical strength is still there.

Otherwise, before this, the sailor of Yangzhou would not be called the strongest sailor in the Han Dynasty.

Unfortunately, that's a thing of the past.

Now the strongest sailor in the Han Dynasty is the 50,000 sailor under the command of Xu Huang and Lu Meng.

They are invincible not only in the Yangtze River, but also at sea.

No one will be their opponent.

Many of the sailors on the Dongwu side were afraid that the ship would be blown up and sunk, so they had already jumped into the water first and swam directly towards the shore.

The so-called 100,000 sailors were completely defeated in just the first battle.

Thousands of warships were directly damaged by hundreds.

Some sank to the bottom, some were still floating on the water, but there was no one on board.

Both the helmsman and the sergeant jumped ship and left.

Although Zhou Yu ordered a retreat, their ships were not as fast as Zhao's invincible warships.

Even if they escaped into the ferry, Xu Huang could use gunpowder to bombard them at a distance of twenty or thirty zhang.

On this Yangtze River, these warships in Zhou Yu's hands have nowhere to hide.

With an unobstructed view of the river, they continued to stay on the boat, and they could only continue to meet Xu Huang's baptism of fire.

The amount of gunpowder stored on Xu Huang's warship was more than the artillery battalion in Zhang Wang's hand.

On the water, it is more difficult to accurately bombard a target with gunpowder than on land.

And now on the battleship, there is nothing to aim at.

If you want to accurately bombard the Soochow naval army, you can only rely on the experience of these gunners on board.

Before, there were all sailors in front of Dongwu, and they could be bombed with their eyes closed.

But now, the remaining warships of the other side are fleeing in all directions and scattered.

Most of the clay pots fall directly into the river, some go out directly, and some become water columns that rise to the sky.

Despite this, it still made the sailors of Soochow very flustered.

Xu Huang had already led the warship and rushed towards them.

Those small boats were capsized with a slight hit.

And people in the water are not the same as safety.

On the battleship of the Zhao army, one by one, with spears more than a zhang long in their hands, could easily attack the enemy on the water.

Zhou Yu had already abandoned the ship and went ashore.

If you stay on the river, you will definitely die in the hands of Zhao Jun in the end.

Xu Huang ordered the warship to aim at the ferry, and countless clay pots bombarded the ferry.

Directly forced all the Dongwu sailors to retreat to the shore.

Then he ordered several warships to approach and pulled away the remaining intact ships.

Then with these confiscated ships, Xu Huang continued to lead the sailors, continued to advance, passed Chaisang, and came to Jiangxia.

Defeating the sailors of Eastern Wu did not make Xu Huang feel much sense of accomplishment.

The two sides are not at the same level, and he is a famous general who has been in war for a long time and has won countless battles.

However, Xu Huang didn't feel anything, and the ordinary sailors below were all very excited.

They were originally infantrymen, and when they were transferred to the Marine, they didn't know how to be water-based.

Everything is starting from scratch.

Although they have fought some pirates before, this is the real first battle after they become sailors.

To be able to win by such a big margin, they finally feel their strength.

Why did you want to join the Sailor in the first place?

Of course, because they participated in the naval division at that time, they would be given some subsidies, and the treatment was better than that of the infantry.

However, after becoming sailors, they naturally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts after their hard training every day.

Now that they have become a member of the water masters, they must be the strongest water masters in the Han Dynasty.

Under the training of Xu Huang and Lu Meng, they have been moving towards this goal.

Now, they have finally proved that they are the strongest sailors in Dahan.

Even the sailors of Yangzhou, with an advantage in numbers, were beaten by them.

The warships advanced along the waterway of the Yangtze River, and all the soldiers stood on the side of the ship, constantly laughing at the Soochow troops on the shore.

It is only a few dozen feet away from the shore, and hundreds of people shout together, and the sound can be clearly transmitted to the ears of the people on the shore.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's faces were ugly.

However, defeat is defeat, and they can only accept Zhao Jun's ridicule here, but they can't refute it.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce did not leave in shame because of Zhao Jun's ridicule.

They had been standing on the shore, watching the warships of the Zhao army advance upstream.

However, as the ship got farther and farther away, the sound became quieter and quieter until it could no longer be heard.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce Cao Cao, then took the rest of the people and returned to Chaisang.

"Xu Huang took away hundreds of warships this time, and the 300,000 troops in Zhao Hui's hands will soon cross the river." Sun Ce said: "Gongjin, what should we do now? ”

Zhao Hui gathered the ships in Jiangxia, and Sun Ce and they had already received the news.

I thought that Zhao Hui wanted to let 300,000 people cross the Yangtze River, to say the least, it would take half a month.

But now it seems that it is only a matter of two or three days.

The captured warships, as well as the fifty warships in Xu Huang's hands, were enough to transport Zhao Hui's 300,000 troops in Jiangxia to the south bank of the Yangtze River.

In the face of Sun Ce's inquiry, Zhou Yu had no choice now.

thought that the water division could fight in one battle, but the result was the same as the infantry in Jingzhou, and it was defeated in the first battle.

Now that the sailors have been disabled, it is even more impossible for them to prevent the Zhao army from crossing the river.

Originally, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had 100,000 sailors in his hands, and even if Zhao Hui collected the boats, he might not dare to cross the river directly.

After all, these 300,000 troops are all infantry, and they can't stand on the boat, if they are attacked by Zhou Yu and the sailors when they cross the river, they will definitely not be able to defeat them.

But now, Zhao Hui doesn't have to worry about this problem anymore.

After Xu Huang led the sailors to Jiangxia, he could immediately let the 300,000 troops cross the Yangtze River in a warship, and then go east along the Yangtze River to take Chaisang and Jianye, as well as Wu County behind.

uprooted Sun Ce's foundation in Yangzhou in one fell swoop.

Although Lu Bu was asked to send troops to cooperate.

But for Zhao Hui, Lu Bushen did not participate, and it really had no impact at all.

The reason why Lu Bu was asked to send troops was just to increase the pressure on Sun Ce, and also to make Lu Bu feel more involved, and at the same time let Lu Bu take a look at the combat strength of the Zhao army now.

Although Zhao Hui and Lu Bu are now allies, and Lu Bu has also expressed his willingness to surrender.

But I still have to show Lu Bu my strength.

Let Lu Bu put away his other thoughts.

lest they be shaken by a few words.
