Chapter Seventy-Five: Fornication?
On the one hand, there is a desperate escape, and on the other hand, there is a desperate pursuit!
The ships that Liu Jun landed did not have time to wait for the soldiers to be filled with soldiers and began to row to the shore, because behind his own soldiers was the enemy army, and if he hadn't run earlier, he might have run too.
A large number of soldiers jumped into the water to catch up because they couldn't catch up with the boat, but most of them were not good enough to swim up to the rapidly departing boat, and many blind people began to disappear into the rolling river because of their physical exhaustion, and those who reacted began to swim back to the shore and raise their hands in surrender.
Raising the eye, wailing everywhere, floating corpses are dense, a scene of hell......
The entire Liu Xuan naval army ran away, and those who could not run were either captured on the spot, or surrendered obediently, and Yuan's naval army would not easily let go of the fleeing enemy, and the previous continuous leakage of the enemy's warship was to facilitate the pursuit at this moment.
Sun Ce began to order the soldiers who replenished the warship, and then set sail directly in pursuit. The rest of the people looked for a ship that could be used immediately among the captured Liu Xuan's warships, and then organized a naval army to board the ship and catch up with the support.
Many of Liu Jun's escaping warships had already been smashed and leaked by ballistas, and their speed began to slow down, and their hulls and sails were also smashed into tatters.
As a result, there was a wonder on the Yangtze River-
A larger, but tattered flotilla is being chased by a smaller, but neatly organised flotilla. It looks like a small elite unit, chasing a large rabble.
The ships that had been badly damaged by the ballistas and whose speed had been affected were slowly overtaken, and then a new broadside battle began!
However, Liu Jun's naval army had lost all morale, so most of the ships that were chased chose to surrender, and only a small number of stubborn ones were killed on the spot, so one after another the warships were captured by Sun Ce.
Sun Ce's target was not any interest in other small boats except for the warship, because Liu Xuanjun had only these two kinds of ships that had been threatening Yuan Yao's plan to land in Jiangdong, and the other small ships didn't matter, as for the building boat, they didn't.
Just as Sun Ce launched a full-army pursuit, Yuan Yao's battleship caught up from a distance, and its speed was much faster than that of the warships in the naval army's main formation.
After Yuan Yao drove away the enemy army that was attacking by surprise, he went ashore to join Lu Su, and later learned that Liu's army had been defeated, so he ordered the battleship to resupply the consumed ammunition, and then he was about to get on the ship to help in the pursuit.
Lu Su and Liu Ye hurriedly stopped them, but they were persuaded by Yuan Yao, because it was not dangerous to chase and escape, and the battleship was a long-range battleship, which could not fight a broadside battle, and the speed was faster than that of ordinary warships, and it could indeed help, so the two finally agreed.
Although the function of the battleship has not yet been disclosed, everyone knows that Yuan Yao is personally involved in the training of a strange ship, so Sun Ce is no stranger to the appearance of this ship, and it is easy to let it get close to the naval army.
"The general should not put his life at risk!" When the battleship approached, Sun Ce shouted in surprise when he saw Yuan Yao standing on the ship.
A thought suddenly rose in Sun Ce's heart - to take the opportunity to kill Yuan Yao.
But it's just a thought, because there are only 3,000 people in the navy army who are his troops, and the others are the soldiers and horses of the Yuan family, and if Yuan Yao is killed in full view, then the matter will be a big deal.
"I can help!" Yuan Yao shouted, "I can let their ship slow down." ”
"Oh, then there's General Law!" Sun Ce's eyes narrowed, and then he clenched his fists and said politely.
Yuan Yao waved his hand and chased after Liu Jun's warship, and then found a ship on the periphery with an intact hull to approach.
This ship was lucky and not damaged much, so its speed was still intact, but it was still slightly slower than Yuan Yao's battleship, so it was quickly approached a hundred paces.
"Aim at the waterline and shoot me!"
Yuan Yao gave an order, and five stone bullets smashed towards the stern a hundred steps away, but it didn't hit, which was normal, so Yuan Yao didn't say anything, but ordered to continue to get closer to 50 steps, and the ballista shelling did not stop.
The main general on the stern saw the battleship rushing towards him, he had seen the power of the ballista, but he did not expect this thing to run into the water, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly let the ship dodge and escape.
How could Yuan Yao let him succeed, and when he got close, he smashed it until it leaked, and then began to aim at another intact warship......
"It's a good idea to bring more ballistas to the ship, or more than one!" Sun Ce, who was in the distance, was surprised when he saw the battleship of Fawei.
Yuan Yao was so happy that he smashed the three ships into a stall, when the lookout on the ship suddenly came to the alarm: "General, there are a large number of ships flying the Jingzhou battle flag in front, and they are rapidly approaching this side!" ”
Yuan Yao was startled, and hurriedly looked out, and sure enough, he saw a large number of ship shadows approaching, and he couldn't even see the number of ships by visual inspection, but the simple scale was already several times that of his own navy.
The flagpoles of these warships are hung with the big flag of Jingzhou Liu, and the handsome flag is a big red pennant embroidered with the word "Zhang".
When Yuan Yao saw it, it was indeed Liu Biao's army, but this was also expected, because the army of this size could only be Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and there was no other, and this was not all......
……
On the flagship of Liu Xuan's navy, Zhang Ying also saw a large number of Jingzhou warships approaching, but in the face of the front and rear attacks, not only was he not afraid, but he was very happy and ordered: "Come up quickly, we are saved!" ”
As a result, in the face of the sudden appearance of a large number of Jingzhou warships with unknown intentions, Liu Xuan's navy not only did not choose to dodge and escape, but quickly approached it.
Seeing this, Yuan Yao knew that the situation was not right, so he no longer pursued, but moved closer to Sun Ce's main formation, and then changed ships and boarded Sun Ce's flagship.
After getting on the boat and Sun Ce greeted him, Yuan Yao said, "Something is wrong, why did the two of them run together?" ”
Sun Ce also frowned and said, "It seems that there is an intention of fornication, we have to be careful." ”
……
Liu Xuan's navy slowly approached the Jingzhou navy, Zhang Ying looked at the scale of the opponent's navy in front of him in a daze, the main warship alone was more than double that of his own before the war! The number of fighting ships is estimated at thirty, and the ships are unexpectedly uncountable for a while, and it looks like they are about to break the 100 mark!
Zhang Ying couldn't help but feel weak in his heart, the key is that there are three huge three-story buildings here, just these three big guys make him feel daunted, but now he has to rely on the other party to save his life, so he has the courage to shout loudly at a building ship with a handsome flag: "But Zhang Dadu is in front of him?" ”
As Zhang Ying's words fell, a figure slowly appeared on the upper floor of the building, looking at Zhang Ying condescendingly, with a mocking expression on his face.
If Yuan Yao was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this person was Zhang Yun, the deputy governor of the Jingzhou Water Army.
Zhang Ying was a little uncomfortable being stared at condescendingly, especially Zhang Yun's expression full of ridicule, as if he was laughing at the fact that he was defeated with superior troops, but he knew that this was not the time to be eventful, so he immediately adjusted his mentality and said anxiously: "Zhang Dudu, help, our army fell into Yuan Yao's tricks and returned defeated, and I also ask Dadu Governor to see the friendship of the alliance and be able to rescue him, and then my lord will be grateful!" ”
"Uh-huh!"
Zhang Yun on the boat looked at Zhang Ying, who was pretending to be pitiful below, and raised a palm with a sneer, as if waving it downward......
Seeing this, Zhang Ying below was shocked, and his intuition was not good......
