Chapter 374: The water battle is fierce

Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou alone, but it only took a short time, Liu Biao quickly assessed Jingzhou, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the people's livelihood was in order, which was not only his Liu Biao's ability, but also benefited from Liu Biao's policy of reusing the major families, so that the hearts of the major families were restored, so that with the help of the power of the family, the situation in Jingzhou was quickly stabilized.

Therefore, after Liu Biao sat firmly in the position of Jingzhou pastor, he also gave a lot of convenience to the major families, and the people who supported Liu Biao at the beginning have now become dignitaries, among which Huang Zu's family is also one of the families that support him.

Of course, Liu Biao will help vigorously, so Huang Zu is now firmly seated in the position of Jiangxia Taishou, and because the Huang family has contributed too much, Liu Biao has also given Huang Zu a lot of convenience, Huang Zu's current identity is Jiangxia Taishou, but its scope of authority is indeed very large, and even in the army of Jiangxia defense, most of the officers are held by the children of their Huang family.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that now Jiangxia is his Huang Zu alone, as long as Huang Zu is willing, he can lead Jiang Xia to independence at any time.

Although Huang Zu has the strength to rebel, Liu Biao still chose to turn a blind eye, first of all, because he also has the Huang family's hole cards in his hand, and he is not afraid of Huang Zu's rebellion, and secondly, Huang Zu also has some abilities, and his reputation in Jiangxia is very high, so he can't move him casually, so as long as Huang Zu doesn't do anything about rebellion, Liu Biao will turn a blind eye to it.

This time, Sun Ce fought hard in Jiangdong and led troops to attack again, Liu Biao's attitude was only one, the reason why Sun Ce came to Jingzhou to make trouble was all because of his grudge with Huang Zu, after all, Sun Jian died at the hands of Huang Zu, and Huang Zu also used Sun Jian's corpse as a threat, so that Sun Ce made a series of unequal promises, these things have always made Sun Ce hold a grudge, so Sun Ce naturally wanted to take revenge.

Liu Biao, who is the king of Chu, doesn't seem to want to care about you so much, he just wants his Jingzhou to be safe and sound, so the order he gave to Huang Zu is that this is his Huang Zu and Sun Ce's own business, and Huang Zu wants to coordinate it himself, anyway, his Jingzhou will not be threatened.

And Huang Zu's attitude towards Liu Biao is also noncommittal, it is best for Liu Biao, the king of Chu, not to meddle in this matter, if he meddles in this matter, the commander-in-chief here is not him Huang Zu, but Liu Biao.

Therefore, in the face of Sun Ce's army attacking, Huang Zu didn't say a word, and immediately organized the army to prepare for a counterattack.

In this way, a vigorous water battle began, the two armies crossed the Yangtze River, Sun Ce had a total of 20,000 water troops, and Huang Zu led a full 40,000 water troops.

Huang Zu has been training in Jiangxia for a long time, and the soldiers are good and well-fed, so all the use is some large ships, and Huang Zu stands at the bow of the ship. Looking at the medium-sized ship opposite, he couldn't help but smile contemptuously, he was laughing at Sun Ce, this guy is really bold, obviously his strength is not good now, and he dares to challenge an old-timer like him, doesn't Sun Ce know that his father died at the hands of his Huang Zu?

Huang Zu was in a good mood, and couldn't help but look at Sun Cejun's Chinese army, where was Sun Ce's main ship, but Huang Zu squinted his eyes and looked at the ship for a long time, but he didn't find Sun Ce's figure, but standing in the middle of the medium-sized ship, was a young general, and that young general was also the commander of Sun Cejun.

The person is quite young, with heroic hair, a lupine scarf, and he is looking at him from afar. Seeing that this young man was so confident, as if he had all the knowledge of this battle, Huang Zu was stunned for a moment, but soon Huang Zu sneered.

"Hehe, you can tell me that this Sun Ce is really a brainless person, he wants to start a war with my Huang Zu, but he didn't charge personally, but instead sent one of his subordinates to be a general in the future, isn't this a loss of military morale? What's more, just these little hairy boys, then you will be my opponent! ”

As soon as Huang Zu said this, the generals around him all reunited, and one after another was sent to Huang Zu's side, and Huang Zu was very comfortable to listen to.

Huang Zu, who was in a good mood, didn't want to care so much, and directly ordered his ships to charge, and he was going to defeat Sun Cejun at one time today.

On the other side, Zhou Yu looked at the large ships and slowly advanced towards this side, and he looked at the many soldiers behind him, and found that everyone was nervous.

After all, this is a war, or a war with a relatively large disparity in strength, Zhou Yu and their side have few people and ships are not as advanced as the other party, how can this battle be fought?

However, when Zhou Yu saw this, he smiled hehe, and immediately stood up and pulled up the order flag, waving it in an orderly manner, and the people on the surrounding boats, watching Zhou Yu shaking the order flag there, was also an orderly beginning, sliding his own boats, and many ships took action, that was a kind of formation.

The formation arranged by Zhou Yu was based on every ten small boats, forming a large circular formation, and then slowly advancing, and finally Zhou Yu's small boats and Huang Zu's large ships were intertwined and collided violently.

Although Huang Zu they used large ships. The hull is tall, and the impact force is also huge, but Zhou Yu is counted as a lot of medium-sized ships, basically every five medium-sized ships, surround a large ship, and only then attack him fiercely.

After an hour, the battle situation has basically come out, in general, every three to five medium-sized ships destroyed on Zhou Yu's side can destroy a large ship on Huang Zu's side, but this situation is not very common, and in general, Huang Zu's side has a slight advantage.

Originally, Huang Zu didn't take Zhou Yu very seriously at the beginning, and he was even more disdainful when he looked at Zhou Yu's medium-sized ships, but at this moment, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, took a good look at Zhou Yu's tactics, and also had some conclusions in his heart, that is, he did have some underestimated enemies before, and Zhou Yu, a young general, still has some skills more or less.

Therefore, Huang Zu also put away his contempt and began to command the battle with full attention. Since Zhou Yu used tactics, then he Huang Zu also had to adjust the corresponding strategy, he asked those large ships not to be too scattered, concentrate their forces on one point, and wantonly destroy Zhou Yu's medium-sized ships, so that Zhou Yu's strength would collapse in an instant.

But when Huang Zu's strategy was used, the situation on his side was really much better, and the medium-sized ships on Zhou Yu's side were wantonly destroyed, and in the face of this situation, Zhou Yu also waved his hand directly, ordering the medium-sized ships to disperse in large numbers, and even slid to those large ships, and then find a way to carry out a sneak attack.

……

In this way, this contest on the battlefield has become a competition between Zhou Yu and Huang Zu, both of whom are the best among the generals of the navy, and they use the tactics of the navy superbly.

Everyone made moves to compete with each other, in short, the battlefield was hot, and after half a month, everyone had losses for each other, but on the whole, Zhou Yu's side accounted for more losses.

Huang Zu and Zhou Yu both seemed to realize at the same time that if they continued to consume like this, would there be some losses too much, so the two of them were no longer as hot as before, and everyone was usually cowering in the big camp, fighting from time to time, and conducting some small-scale wars.

And for this mode of battle, Huang Zu was very happy, and Zhou Yu also chose to acquiesce, although Zhou Yu had his reasons for acquiescing, but his generals were a little unhappy.

Among them, Cheng Pu, the governor of the right capital, stood up and said to Zhou Yu in a serious voice.

"Gong Jin, you also have to look at the current situation, although the situation of the battle is stable, but the casualty ratio, our army is far more than Huang Zu's army, and our army is coming from afar. It's not fully prepared, and the number of people can't compare to Huang Zujun, you just spend it endlessly, it's never a way! ”

However, Zhou Yu smiled, so that Cheng Pu didn't have to worry too much, he had his own way.

However, it is precisely because of Zhou Yu's noncommittal attitude that Cheng Pu's veterans are anxious, like Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, and the three of them are all people who follow Sun Jian to fight the world together. In other words, the foundation of the first generation of Wu was built on the hard work of these veterans, and they never wanted to see the soldiers and horses they had built destroyed in such a way, so they went to find Zhou Yu every day.

In fact, the reason why these veterans came to Zhou Yu was out of public intentions, after all, Zhou Yu was losing his soldiers and horses every day, which was indeed a little unreasonable, but some of them were selfish, to be honest, veterans like them still had some dissatisfaction in their hearts.

They are also loyal, they are also experienced in a hundred battles, if Sun Jian was alive, they would definitely be used as generals, but when Sun Ce came here, Sun Ce treated several of their uncles with courtesy, but he handed over his real power to his brother Zhou Yu of the same age, so that Cheng Pu and other generals could only be reduced to deputies, which made several of their old-timers feel more or less unhappy.

However, in the face of Cheng Pu and others' difficulties, Zhou Yu also knew what they meant, but Zhou Yu did not get angry as soon as he came, and took advantage of the power of the metropolitan governor to scold these people angrily.

Instead, he chose to explain to Cheng Pu and others calmly, although Cheng Pu and others can't listen to Zhou Yu's explanation now, but Zhou Yu has always been smiling, showing his generosity, and even Zhou Yu released his final bottom line later, that is, Cheng Pu and others are dissatisfied with him Zhou Yu and want to complain to Sun Ce, Zhou Yu has no opinion at all.

But one thing is that no matter how dissatisfied Cheng Pu and others are, they must not sabotage this military plan.

After Cheng Pu and the others heard these words, they snorted coldly and didn't say anything, what kind of conditions is this Zhou Yu talking about? It is the fundamental point of the generals not to destroy the military plan of the Wu State, and a few of their veterans will naturally not do it. What they want now is to quickly replace Zhou Yu, after all, Zhou Yu is too poor to fight, and it is half a month, and he is there all day long endlessly consuming soldiers and horses, it seems that Wu Guobing is seriously damaged every day, which has become a fact.

If it goes on like this, it may not take more than two months, and Wu will have no troops available, so what will be used to fight at that time?

However, Zhou Yu has already put down the last cruel words, even if Cheng Pu and the others are unhappy in their hearts, it can only be like this, this day Zhou Yu is a living hall discussion, Cheng Pu and the three veterans still arrived on time, but their faces are still more or less unhappy, after all, they always lose the battle, so that these generals feel that they can't raise their heads.

Zhou Yu didn't care about their expressions, and continued to organize the generals to hold a military meeting, but when it was open, a breeze suddenly blew from outside the camp, and the others didn't feel anything, but when Zhou Yu felt the breeze blowing on his face, he was shocked, and walked out of the camp tent in the puzzled eyes of everyone.

Zhou Yu stretched out his hand, gently placed it in front of his face, felt the feeling of the breeze blowing, and after a while, it suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, looked back at the many generals with an excited face, and said: "The time has come, the counterattack is in three days!" ”

When Cheng Pu and the others heard this, they all looked at each other. I don't know why. thought that Zhou Yu really had some clever plan, ready to defeat Huang Zu's army in one fell swoop, but in the past three days.

The generals sent by Zhou Yu to fight against Huang Zu were all defeated one after another, and their morale seemed to have been extremely low.

Looking at the listlessness of the soldiers, this was a big deal for a group of old generals, who didn't listen to Zhou Yu's hard advice, but instead made a lonely move there, causing Wu Guo to lose his troops and lose his generals, so the veteran Huang Gai. couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, directly picked up his sword, ran to the camp tent, and questioned Zhou Yu.

In the face of his sworn words, coupled with the result of the fiasco now, Zhou Yu seems to have a feeling of having nothing to say, so his explanation is also very far-fetched, and in the end he actually drank Huang Gai directly and went back first, here he is the boss, and everything is up to him.

This is completely a strong rhetoric, for the lives of the soldiers, for the results of the war, irresponsible performance, how can Huang Gai bear it in his heart, immediately clapped, and even put on a shelf, thinking that when Lao Tzu followed Sun Jian to fight everywhere, you were still a baby doll, and today you dare to talk to the old man in such a tone, it is unforgivable.

Zhou Yu also seemed to be angered by Huang Gai's words, and at the same time he also realized a more serious problem, if he didn't clean up this Huang Gai today, I am afraid that there will be more veterans tomorrow who will come to him for trouble, so Zhou Yu immediately looked at him and directly congratulated him, Huang Gai deliberately insulted the boss, and he should be decided, but for the sake of him as a meritorious hero of Wu State, the death penalty can be avoided. The living sin was unforgivable, and he dragged out and beat eighty military sticks.

When the news came out, it could be said that the military camps on the Wu side were all shaken, what is the concept of eighty military sticks? If the physique is not good, it can definitely beat people to death, even if Huang Gai is old and strong, he is still a general, but if he goes down with a stick of eighty soldiers, he will be crippled if he does not die.
