Chapter 515: There is a strong enemy in front and a chasing soldier in the back
"Love โ รท small? Say โ', provide you with wonderful novels to read.
It is no wonder that Guan Yu was pleasantly surprised, because at this time, the Wu army suddenly had a huge panic, Guan Yu only saw that many Wu army's ships were sinking on the river, but because it was too far away, he couldn't see what the reason was.
So Guan Yu ordered the army to continue the pursuit, and ordered the building ship he was on to follow to see what was going on.
It wasn't until he had walked more than ten miles that Guan Yu finally figured out the reason for the retreat of the Wu army.
It turned out that when the battle between the Wu army and the Shu army was fierce, the Jingzhou army launched hundreds of catapults from behind the city wall, and these catapults directly threw the big stones on the Wu army's ships across the city wall.
"I really didn't expect that the Jingzhou Army would be able to come up with such a wonderful tactic, and I didn't expect that the stone-throwing vehicle could be used like this, and it could be launched so accurately!" Seeing those broken Wu army warships on the river, Guan Yu was emotional and frightened, it seems that even if he starts a war against Liu He in the future, he must not attack his city from the river, otherwise this kind of loss is really unbearable.
At this time, I saw that at the head of the city, Zhang Xiu, the main general of the other party, greeted Guan Yu with a smile: "General Guan, it's been a long time." โ
"General Zhang, this battle was fought so beautifully, Yu really admires it." Guan Yu was also full of smiles, and at the same time, he also sincerely admired the battle under Jiangling City, so he was not complimenting him, but telling the truth.
Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the general, all this is the strategy set by the lord, and the merits of the generals, how can the general come up with such a clever plan?" But on the whole, the soldiers in this battle used their lives, and the fight was indeed good, Zhou Yu's 100,000 army lost at least 50,000 people, although there are still half of the rest, but after all, the morale has declined, and there is no need to be afraid, not to mention that my lord has also arranged a powerful ambush in front, this time it will definitely be difficult for Zhou Yu to escape, I don't know if General Guan is interested in leading the army to catch up, and cooperate with my lord to defeat Zhou Yu together? โ
"It turns out that Gong Qin has laid an ambush in front of him, this is a good opportunity to annihilate Zhou Yu'er, how can I not join in the fun?" Guan Yu laughed when he heard this, and immediately ordered someone to go after Zhou Yu, this time he wanted to defeat Zhou Yu in person, so as to be ashamed!
Guan Yu led the army to chase all the way, and after only walking fifty or sixty miles, he saw a large group of ships in front of him stopped there, looking at its flag, it was Zhou Yu's fleet.
Guan Yu guessed that Zhou Yu's fleet must have encountered an ambush and was now confronting Liu He's army, he believed that as long as the soldiers of Zhou Yu's army knew that his army was coming, the Wu army would definitely fall into a panic, and this battle would not need to be fought with any effort at all, so he ordered people to set up a good position, be prepared, and ordered people to beat drums and shout loudly, so as to play a deterrent role. ใๆโๅปโณๅฐโ่ชชโณ็ถฒ Qu ใ
Guan Yu's guess was right, Zhou Yu was originally going to lead the army to escape and withdraw to Jiangdong, but he didn't expect that when his army only walked fifty or sixty miles, he saw a huge fleet appear not far ahead, this fleet is different from the normal fleet, those ships are very peculiar, he has never seen them, but judging from his years of experience in water warfare, the other party's ships are very advanced.
One of them has a very peculiar shape of the boat, which does not look too big, about two or three hundred people, but there are floating plates on both sides of the boat, which looks like a big bird, so that the stability of the boat is very strong, and the possibility of rolling over is greatly reduced.
In addition, there are twenty or thirty oars on both sides of the boat, so that even if there is no wind on the river, even if it is a headwind, the boat can sail more ideally.
What surprised Zhou Yu even more was that there were hundreds of ships that he had never seen before!
In addition, the largest building ship built by the other party was actually five stories high, more than 100 feet high, and the ship was also equipped with six huge clapstick rods, as long as the ship approached, it could be directly smashed by the clapsticks.
"I really didn't expect the other party to make such an unbelievable design, but these things are just a layer of window paper, and if they are exposed, they are not worth much, and when this battle is over, I will be able to build this kind of high-performance ship."
Zhou Yu carefully remembered the shape of those ships and thought about the feasibility of manufacturing.
After a while, only the rumbling sound of war drums could be heard from the opposite side, followed by the loud shouts of the soldiers, and then Zhou Yu's personal general, Zhou An, asked: "Governor, the enemy has given the order to attack, should we fight or retreat?" โ
Zhou Yu smiled, opened his mouth and just wanted to speak, when suddenly he heard the rumbling sound of war drums behind him, and at the same time the shouts of the soldiers.
Hearing the news from behind the battle, Zhou Yu couldn't help but look pale, and knew without investigation that it must be Guan Yu who led the army to catch up, and couldn't help but hum: "The guy who is not going away, the stupid person who is being used, if it weren't for Liu He's army, I would have annihilated all your tens of thousands of sailors today." โ
"Great, Dadu, there is a strong enemy in front and a chasing army in the back, what should we do now?" Rao is Zhou An has always been steady, but at this time, when he saw the two fleets blocking them in the middle, he was also a little flustered, and said to Zhou Yu: "Otherwise, let's go ashore from here." โ
"This definitely doesn't work!" When Zhou Yu heard this, he said decisively: "The advantage of our army lies in water warfare, if we abandon the ship and land on the shore, I am afraid that even Guan Yu will not be able to defeat it, let alone Liu He's elite?" So, for now, we can only concentrate on destroying an army first, and then find a way to get out. โ
"So who should we destroy first? Or let's destroy the Shu army, after all, the opponent's combat power is relatively poor, and Liu Hejun's big ship looks very neat and mighty, and we are very difficult to mess with. Zhou Quan looked at Liu Hejun's ship in front of him, and his face showed fear.
But saw Zhou Yu smiled and said: "This time you are wrong, although Liu He's army has novel ships and strong combat power, but everyone in the world knows that they are not good at water warfare, although they have the advantage of ships, but it is difficult to defeat us, not to mention that Liu Hejun is downstream, we are upstream, which increases our chances of winning, although Guan Yu's army is relatively weak, but proficient in water warfare, if we blindly defend, it is difficult for us to cause fatal damage to them, so, this time our preferred target is Liu He's fleet, As long as Liu He's fleet is defeated, the Shu army will retreat without a fight, hehe, maybe we may still capture the important generals in Liu He's army, I really hope that Liu He will also personally participate in this battle, if he also participates, we will annihilate his fleet, and capture him, this will be a lot of fun.
