Chapter 904: Breaking the Jiangdong Water Army
Cao Jun's provocation made the Jiangdong Navy very annoyed.
But they struggled to move forward, but they still couldn't catch up with each other.
After chasing twenty or thirty miles, Cao's warship gradually approached the shore.
"What are they doing?" On the Jiangdong warship, an officer looked at the docked Cao Jun warship very curiously.
Just when he didn't understand what Cao Jun's plans were, he saw the sailors on Cao Jun's warship disembark one after another and board the riverbank.
"They're going to run!" The officer shouted and gave me a shore pursuit.
The Jiangdong warships accelerated towards the place where Cao's army docked. γ
Approaching, the Jiangdong warships also docked one after another.
Lu Bu, who was dormant in the grass, tried to get up, but was stopped by Zhao Yun.
"General Lu, don't worry." Zhao Yun said: "Let them land first, we are going to wipe out the Jiangdong Navy this time." β
Lu Bu really didn't move again, but he couldn't help it.
The soldiers of the Cao Army who followed them here were all full of expectation, and they couldn't wait to rush up immediately and fight with the Jiangdong Naval Army.
When the warship docked, the Jiangdong Navy jumped off the big ship one after another and chased after the Cao family's sailors.
Two of the large ships were docked on the shore, and the people on board did not come down, they were in charge of watching around.
"I'll take two hundred men and attack the enemy's ships." Zhao Yun whispered to Lu Bu: "General Lu led the others to chase after the Jiangdong Naval Army, and he could kill as many as he could." What Zhong Da means is that this battle will greatly hurt the Jiangdong naval army. β
"Got it!" Lu Bu responded and beckoned to more than 800 Cao Jun: "Follow me." β
Lu Bu left with Cao's army, while Zhao Yun led the remaining two hundred people to quietly touch the Jiangdong army's warship docked on the riverbank.
Almost touching the side of the warship, Zhao Yun waved his hand behind him.
More than 200 people stopped, staring at the Jiangdong Army on the warship with a pair of eyes.
The Jiangdong army apparently did not notice them, and the sentries also seemed careless.
After observing for a moment, Zhao Yun gestured to the two hundred Cao Jun.
The soldiers under Cao Shuo's command will learn a set of combat gestures during drills.
When necessary, they did not have to speak to each other, but only understood the battle order through gestures.
Zhao Yun gave the order, and more than two hundred people scattered one after another and touched towards the warship.
Approaching one of the warships without a person, Zhao Yun suddenly jumped out, threw his spear forward, and the tip of the spear was deeply inserted into the hull.
Swiftly striding forward, he leaped into the air, grabbed the barrel of the gun with both hands, and jumped onto the deck with one of them.
As he jumped up, his arm was so hard that he pulled the spear out.
Zhao Yun's sudden appearance surprised the Jiangdong Navy on the ship.
Before they could react, Zhao Yun had already picked up his gun and dropped an enemy soldier to the ground.
It was only then that the Jiangdong Navy understood that someone had come to attack him.
Crowds of people flocked to Zhao Yun.
The warship docked, and although it was still a little bumpy under the beating of the river waves, it was much more stable than in the water.
How could Zhao Yun care about these Jiangdong hands, burst into a shout, and rushed towards the enemy alone with a spear.
After overthrowing more than a dozen Jiangdong troops one after another, Zhao Yun stabbed an enemy soldier with one shot, and the spear jumped up on the ground with a volley.
Fiercely stepped on the shoulder of a Jiangdong army, and with the momentum, Zhao Yun rushed to the gangway that pierced the edge.
The pistol fell, and the gangway rolled down.
The Cao army, who rushed up, boarded the warship along the gangway.
Zhao Yun held the gangway until six or seven Cao soldiers succeeded in boarding the ship, and more people followed, and then he killed the side of the ship that was leaning against another warship.
Every time Zhao Yun boarded a warship, the gangway would fall immediately.
Cao Jun soldiers boarded the ship along the gangway.
The Jiangdong Navy fought fiercely on the water, but in face-to-face hand-to-hand combat, where would they be the opponent of the well-trained Cao Army?
The two fully manned warships were quickly broken by Cao's army.
On the other warships, most of the Jiangdong Army was launched, and the number of people left to guard the warships was simply not enough to drive the warships away.
They could only watch as Cao's army captured the full number of warships, and then boarded the ships one by one to wipe them out.
Seeing that the momentum was not good, some Jiangdong troops did not love to fight, and jumped into the Yangtze River one after another.
Cao Jun rushed to the side of the ship and opened his bow to shoot arrows at them.
Many of the Jiangdong troops who jumped into the river were shot by arrows, and after a stream of blood surged on the surface of the water, they drifted downstream with the river.
Zhao Yun led the soldiers to seize the warship, and LΓΌ Bu had also launched an attack on the Jiangdong naval army that had landed on the shore at this time.
Just chasing after the Cao family's water army, the Jiangdong water army did not react at all, and such a force would suddenly be killed behind them.
There were quite a few Jiangdong naval troops, and the eight hundred people brought by Lu Bu suddenly came out, and they were still caught off guard.
Holding Fang Tian's halberd, Lu Bu was like a killing god.
Entering the Jiangdong army, Lu Bu was like a plow advancing in the field.
All the enemy troops who stood in his way were swept to the ground.
The 800 Cao army that followed him into battle also pounced on the Jiangdong army like a tiger descending from the mountain.
When the sailors of the Cao army saw that Lu Bu was killing the enemy, they also shouted and turned around to participate in the battle.
The naval army is inherently inferior to the infantry army in land operations.
What's more, the Jiangdong Navy encountered a killing god like Lu Bu.
The battle did not last long, and the Jiangdong naval army scattered and fled.
"Kill as much as you can." Lu Bu shouted: "Chase me!" β
On the Jiangdong warship, Zhao Yun stood on the bow of the ship.
The soldiers of the Cao army escorted the captured Jiangdong army to him.
"General, what to do with these people?" The captain beside Zhao Yun asked in a low voice.
"Ask them if they are willing to stay in Xuzhou to live." Zhao Yun said.
The lieutenant responded and walked towards those Jiangdong troops.
Jiang Dongjun, who was escorted by Cao Jun and knelt on the board of the boat, trembled one by one, how dare he look up and take a second look.
"General Zhao has something to ask you." Looking around at the Jiangdong Army prisoners, the captain shouted: "Do you want to stay in Xuzhou?" β
This sentence undoubtedly told the captured Jiangdong Army that there was a high probability that they would not be killed.
Many people raised their heads and looked at the captain with expectant expressions in their eyes.
"Those who are willing to stay in Xuzhou should stand up and wait on the side of the ship." The lieutenant said, "If you don't want to stay, kneel on the spot." β
There is only one chance to live, how can the Jiangdong Army give up.
As soon as the captain's words fell, the Jiangdong army stood up and walked to the side of the ship.
Turning around and walking in front of Zhao Yun, the captain clenched his fists and said, "General Qiyu, they are all willing to stay in Xuzhou." β
Zhao Yun nodded and walked towards those Jiangdong Army prisoners of war.
Standing in front of Jiang Dongjun and looking around at them, Zhao Yun said: "Very good, you have chosen a way to live." Truth be told, if you want to go back to Jiangdong, my only option is to kill you. β
When the prisoners of the Jiangdong Army heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'd love to use you, but you're from Jiangdong after all." Zhao Yun continued: "Live in Xuzhou for a period of time first, if you feel that Xuzhou is better than Jiangdong, the Huainan Navy is looking forward to your arrival." β
