Chapter 287 - Dongting Decisive Battle!
On Dongting Lake.
The coalition army of Sun Liu, who was beaten by Xiang Yu, was riding a big boat at the moment, chopping the waves.
"Damn, this is a lot of tricks! Pity our army for its heavy losses and almost annihilation!" Sitting in the boat, the grizzled Liu Bei said with tears in his eyes.
Sun Jian, who was on the side, was also angry at the moment, and a group of people hit the wooden pillars on the side, gritting their teeth and saying, "Damn!"
Thinking that there were 70,000 people when he raised his army, and now there are less than 30,000 people under his command, Sun Jian couldn't help but be furious. There are too many soldiers and horses folded in the hands of the Chu army! This made him resentful of Xiang Yu.
On the other side, Xiang Yu, who was leading the army to pursue with all his might, also received a prompt sound from the system: "Ding! Sun Ce has hatred for the host, congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 aggro points, and the host's aggro value is 1550 immediately. ”
"Oh? Little Overlord is this angry? Hmph, you're still to come! Xiang Yu said secretly in his heart.
After a night of fighting, the Chu army advanced the front for dozens of miles, and only a few small cities remained in the hands of the Han army.
The Han army basically had little territory left on land, and it had already begun to turn away to the water.
The five thousand Chu troops also began to board the warships under the overall command of Xiang Yu. And the Sun-Liu coalition army also began to enter Zhuge Liang's plan step by step.
Above the lake, there are no clouds, and the water and sky are the same.
Beneath the lake, schools of herring fish swim back and forth.
"Report! The general is not good! Most of the non-commissioned officers of our army showed signs of seasickness, dizziness and vomiting!"
Liu Bei and Sun Quan were enjoying the beautiful scenery of Dongting Lake on the deck at this time, but they only heard the report from the soldiers.
"Alright, let the healer go and check, let's go down!" When Sun Ce heard this, he said impatiently.
"No!" The soldier hurriedly retreated.
"Bo Fu, how many more days will we have to wander on this lake before we reach land?"
"Xuande, don't worry, you can reach the land in three days."
Seeing that Liu Bei's expression was a little eager, Sun Ce spoke.
"Alas, I just don't know what the situation of my second brother is! I'm afraid it's a lot of bad luck! Liu Bei sighed, after all, two days had passed, but he had not received a single bit of news from Guan Yu, which made Liu Bei a little worried.
"General Guan is skilled in martial arts, nothing should happen, maybe it's just a moment of urgency, it's just too late to contact us!"
In the face of Sun Ce's persuasion, Liu Bei didn't say anything anymore, but cast his deep gaze on the lake.
Twenty miles away on the lake, the warships of the Chu army were still riding the wind and waves, speeding up with all their might.
"King, according to the report from the spies, the Han warship is twenty miles ahead!" At this time, Zhuge Liang reported to Xiang Yu, who was standing on the deck.
"Hmmm! General Zhou, where have they been? Xiang Yu asked with his back to Zhuge Liang.
"General Zhou estimates that he has now arrived in the area of Xiancao Bay!"
"Well, speed up and shorten the distance with the Han army, and let someone tell Zhou Bo that you must arrive at the Prince Temple before noon tomorrow! Form an encirclement of the Han army!" Xiang Yu ordered.
"No!"
At noon the next day, the originally cloudless blue sky suddenly darkened its face. The wind on the lake is gradually getting stronger, and there is a sign that the wind is about to blow all over the building.
"Report!"
"Speak!"
"General, the warship of the Chu army appeared three miles away from our army!"
"What?!"
Sun Ce was shocked when he heard the Chu army, he really didn't expect the Chu army to be so fast!
"Quick, let the helmsman speed up, don't let the Chu army catch up!" Liu Bei on the side immediately said.
"No!"
However, before the soldiers could get up, a strong wind suddenly struck, blowing everyone staggered, and almost fell to the ground unsteadily.
"General! Oh no! A large group of ships was spotted ahead, heading towards us at great speed. ”
"Suffered!"
Sun Ce and Liu Bei glanced at each other, and then went to the deck to check the situation.
When the two of them came to the deck, they saw a ship the size of a beetle swishing on the horizon in the distance, and in less than a moment it became bigger and bigger, and the speed continued to increase!
After a while, the originally vague flag on the warship was clearly visible, and I saw that the big flag with the word "Zhou" was standing on the big ship at the beginning.
"It's Zhou Bo!" Seeing this, Sun Ce immediately gritted his teeth and said.
"Pass the order, order all the warships to speed up, and don't engage the Chu army!"
"Bo Fu, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, my soldiers are all from the north, they are hydrophobic, if they are accelerated, I am afraid that they will all be like mud, how to fight?"
Sun Ce looked at Liu Bei and said word by word: "If you don't rush over, we will all die!"
Seeing this, Liu Bei could only acquiesce and say no more.
Zhou Bo obviously came to the Han army, and now seeing that the Han army wants to slip away, he naturally won't give it a chance, even if the warships are lined up, they form a "one" shape on the lake to intercept it!
"Brothers! Give me a light on the ship of the Han army, and hit it hard!" Zhou Bo stepped onto the deck and personally beat the drum to give the order.
After the Chu army received the order, it immediately increased its speed and went straight to the Han warship.
"Kill!"
"Traitor! Your grandfather Zhang Yide is here! Put it on me!"
Zhang Fei also personally ordered at this time to let the archers fire arrows at the Chu army.
However, the next moment, Zhang Fei ushered in the Chu army's concentrated fire and shooting!
Liu Bei and Sun Ce in the rear saw that they couldn't get out, so they had to face them hard!
However, just as the ships of the two armies were approaching, the Chu army suddenly threw a jar of wine at the Han ship, and the jar of wine smashed on the boat and burst suddenly, and then before the Han army could react, the rockets of the Chu army fell from the sky!
The rocket that hit the Han army ship ignited suddenly! For a time, the fire was pervasive, and the startled soldiers on the boat jumped into the water to hide.
However, the soldiers who hid in the water soon became the target of the Chu army and died at the bottom of the lake!
Zhang Fei's warship was also ignited, and when Zhang Fei saw the fire coming, he had to grit his teeth and take off his armor and jump into the lake with a snake spear.
Fortunately, a warship arrived, threw down the rope and pulled Zhang Fei onto the boat, otherwise I was afraid that Zhang Fei would also be buried underwater.
Looking at the burned warship in front of them and the panicked soldiers in the water, Liu Bei and Sun Ce were dripping blood!
"Kill me! Fight to the death with the Chu army!" Sun Ce saw that he couldn't get out, so he simply didn't do anything, and immediately ordered the soldiers to fight.
For a while, black smoke billowed on the lake, blood stained the lake, and screamed again and again.
Just when Zhou Bo was fighting with the Sun-Liu coalition army, Xiang Yu, who had been following the Sun-Liu coalition army, also led the Chu army to quickly arrive, sandwiching the Sun-Liu coalition army in the middle and encircling and suppressing it.
Because the Chu army has a large number of small boats, the speed is extremely fast, shuttling between the big ships, when facing the soldiers who fell into the water, it is like a Shura, and a knife can make the Han army fall into the water lose their lives.
Facing the Chu army that was flanked in the front and rear, the Han army, which was already not good at water, was in chaos for a while, and some even surrendered on the spot.
Sun Ce and Liu Bei saw this, but they were angry, but they had nothing to do.
