Chapter 648: Lu Meng vs. Zhou Yu

The Wei army came to attack.

Sun Ce frowned and shouted, "How many people are there in the Su thief's army, and how many warships are there?" ”

He Qi said: "Back to my lord, as far as I can see, the enemy has at least 1,000 warships and 30,000 sailors. ”

"Do the enemy have a raft?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Probably not."

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief and snorted proudly: "Su thief must have learned that Liu Bei sent troops, so he wanted to capture Jiangdong first, so he tried to attack with a large army, Bo Fu, we will confront him head-on, let him see the true strength of our Jiangdong naval army." ”

Sun Ce nodded and said proudly: "Pass the order, go down and let the whole army out of the camp and fight a decisive battle with the Su thief Yangtze River." ”

His voice fell, and He Qi hurriedly said: "Lord, although the Su thieves only have 30,000 sailors, there are 40,000 soldiers and horses on land, and they are coming along the north bank of the Yangtze River towards my Anhui Koushui camp, and it seems that they have the intention of attacking from the land. ”

Sun Ce's body was shocked, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The Su thief wants to contain me from the land and force me to divide my troops and horses to guard the water camp, so as to weaken the advantage of our water army." ”

Zhou Yu said proudly: "Although the lord left 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard the water camp, I led 30,000 water troops to meet the Su thieves, 30,000 against 30,000, I Zhou Yu still have this confidence." ”

Zhou Yu "boasted about Haikou", Sun Ce still had something to worry about, and immediately ordered the division of troops, led the army to defend the water camp, and ordered Zhou Yu to lead the water army to meet the battle.

In the Wankoushui camp, the gong suddenly sounded loudly, and 40,000 Jiangdong soldiers were immediately mobilized.

With the sound of horns, thousands of Jiangdong warships slowly left the port, lined up on the Yangtze River, and overwhelmingly rushed upstream.

West of Anhuikou, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

Su Zhezheng commanded his army of 40,000 and marched downstream along the north bank of the long bank.

His eyes were not on land, but always on the rolling Yangtze River.

On the wide river, his 1,000 warships were arrayed, heading down the river to the east, heading straight for the waters of Anhuikou.

A battle flag with the word "Lu" flew dazzlingly on the flagship of the building ship.

The two armies of land and water, all the way east, arrived at the waters of Anhui at dusk.

Su Zhe climbed a hill and stared eastward, only to see the waters downstream, countless black clouds, also overwhelming upstream.

Soon, he saw the clouds as they were.

It was countless warships, countless cloud sails, countless flags, and Sun Ce came just as he envisioned.

"Sun Ce, you really think that you are the master of the Yangtze River......

The corners of Su Zhe's mouth swept into a sarcastic sneer, but there was no fear in his eyes, only fierce and unparalleled confidence.

He was convinced of LΓΌ Meng's strength.

Among the four major governors of Eastern Wu, Lu Meng's strategic ability may not be as good as Zhou Yu, and even Lu Xun and Lu Su are inferior, but in terms of water warfare tactical ability, it is absolutely unique, and even Zhou Yu is a few points inferior.

Therefore, he had absolute self-confidence and asked Lu Meng to command his naval army to clean up Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

The river breeze is slow, and the water waves are not prosperous.

The sun gradually set in the west, and the remnant sun was like blood, staining the river red.

On the Yangtze River, the two fleets were no longer within a mile of each other in the blink of an eye, and entered the range of engagement.

Su Zhe stared into the distance, and finally saw the enemy fleet up close.

He had to admit that Jiangdong's naval army was really strong, even if it lost nearly a thousand warships in the battle of Chaisang, in a short period of time, it immediately replenished so many warships.

Whether it is the number of building ships, fighting ships, and ship rushes, they are all above his naval army.

"Lu Meng, I hope I didn't misread you......"

Su Zhe's gaze turned to his own fleet, and landed on the flagship of the building ship, and landed on the big banner of the word "Lu" that was flying like the wind.

In this battle, he bet all his bets on Lu Meng, depending on the performance of this young water war wizard.

Lu Meng stood proudly with his sword in his hand, as calm as a statue, staring at the approaching enemy ship from afar with a cold gaze.

When he saw the battle flag with the word "Zhou", he immediately knew that the commander of this Jiangdong naval army was not Sun Ce, but Zhou Yu.

"Zhou Gongjin, today we will let the world know who is the first person in the water war......

Lu Meng clenched the hilt of his sword, and his young face ignited a hunting confidence.

In a flash, the fleets of the two armies were getting closer and closer.

On that huge ship, Zhou Yu's confident eyes were also looking at the battle flag with the word "Lu" in front of him.

In his eyes, in addition to confidence, there was also deep resentment.

"Lu Meng, you traitor, you still want to fight with me Zhou Yu, today I will let you see, what is the real water war......"

Zhou Yu snorted coldly, drew his sword in his hand, and shouted: "Beat the drums, accelerate the advance of the whole army, and sweep away the enemy army!" ”

Tom tom tom ~ ~

On the flagship, the drums of war rose to the sky, and the flag of the attack was also hoisted high.

Nearly 100 front-row building boats rushed forward with full oar power, approaching more than 200 steps in the blink of an eye.

Whoosh!

Thousands of sharp arrows rose into the air and took the lead in launching long-range strikes against the Wei warships.

Arrows whistled like locusts.

Lu Meng had already prepared and shouted: "Dodge the arrow!" ”

When the order was handed down, the officers and men of the Wei army on each ship raised their shields one after another, relying on the battlements to avoid arrows.

The rain of arrows poured down, and the screams rose in response, and dozens of soldiers who were not good at dodging fell to the ground with arrows in response.

The soldiers on the left and right held high large shields and formed a tortoiseshell shield wall to protect LΓΌ Meng in it.

After the enemy fired a round of arrows, Lu Meng immediately shouted: "Crossbowman, counterattack!" ”

The flags on the flagship waved, and the thousands of crossbowmen, who had already drawn their bowstrings beforehand, came out from behind the shieldmen in the gap between the enemy's exchange of arrows, and fired another round at the enemy fleet on the opposite side.

Woo woo ~ ~

More than 3,000 sharp arrows pierced the sky illuminated by the remnant sun and roared towards the enemy ships.

The Jiangdong army had been prepared for a long time, and immediately raised its big shield to dodge the arrow attack of the Wei army in the same way.

It is convenient for you to come and go, pushing forward on the other side and striking the other with arrows from a distance.

Zhou Yu and Lu Meng are so familiar with this tactic that they can't be more familiar, they should be on an equal footing, and no one can have the upper hand.

It's just that on the side of the enemy fleet, the tall building ships are more than twice as many as the Wei army, and relying on the condescending posture of the building ships, the arrow attack of the Jiangdong army is also more fierce.

After a few rounds of arrows, the Wei army began to be suppressed, and there were gradually signs of not being able to raise their heads.

This scene, Su Zhe and his soldiers who were watching the battle in Jiangbei naturally saw it clearly, and they couldn't help but worry.

"King Wei, the enemy's arrow rain seems to have the upper hand, and Lu Meng is a little pressed and beaten." Deng Ai said worriedly.

Su Zhe sneered: "Don't worry, you have to believe in the vision of this king, believe in Lu Meng's strength, his performance is still to come." ”
