The behavior of Wang Wei's fleet was abnormal, and even Lu Meng saw the problem......

According to Yuan Yao's order to "withdraw to the Lujiang River as soon as possible", the thirty warships led by Wang Wei should speed up and sail in a straight line, but now they secretly turned and slowly blocked the front of Yuan Yao's fleet.

At the same time, those Jingzhou red horses that were following behind Yuan Yao also suddenly and unabashedly sped up, and according to the distance between the two sides, they would catch up with Yuan Yao in about a quarter of an hour.

In the face of the pursuit of the Red Horse Group, the modified fleet led by Yuan Yao should also speed up, but the channel was blocked by Wang Wei's fleet intentionally or unintentionally, and there was a tendency to slow down......

Obviously, Wang Wei's behavior was not to listen to Yuan Yao's order to retreat to the Lujiang River, but to maliciously intercept Yuan Yao's fleet! That's why Lu Meng said something wrong! Yuan Yao's face became gloomy......

At this time, Yuan Yao had already seen that there was something wrong with the surrendered "Chen Heng", and guessed that he might have fallen for the fraudulent surrender plan, but he was still a little reluctant to believe it, because he couldn't figure out why!

He couldn't figure out why a military general who had just been annexed and oppressed would be so loyal as Huang Gai in history, willing to accept even bitter tricks, and willing to do tricks to surrender? You must know that this life is the easiest to kill.

Yuan Yao didn't think that Chen Heng was fake, because it was easy to pretend to be a person, but Chen Heng still had 10,000 parts, and it was impossible for so many people to do anything silently!

It's just that he didn't expect that someone could really make 10,000 people silent......

Yuan Yao was unwilling, and ordered someone to urge Wang Wei in front of him to speed up, but not only did he not get any response, but the other party's speed dropped more and more obviously; However, the five or six hundred Jingzhou red horses chasing after them were getting faster and faster, and the dense number seemed to make people feel frightened.

This situation has to be dealt with whether Yuan Yaoxin believes it or not, otherwise he will be made dumplings immediately!

Lu Meng looked nervous, and said to Yuan Yao excitedly: "Lord, there is an interception in front and a chasing soldier in the back, what should we do?" Do you want to be desperate? ”

Yuan Yaoqiang smiled: "It's okay, we have a plan......"

Yuan Yao had been worried about the fraud plan, although he was regarded as cranky by himself, but he still discussed with Liu Ye and others a backup response plan.

But Yuan Yao didn't want to use this plan, because it would make him have to fight an uncertain decisive battle with the Jingzhou Navy in advance! But at the moment he had no choice......

"In that case, let's fight!" Yuan Yao threw away his distracting thoughts, turned to the bannerman and ordered, "Order all warships to follow the flagship to attack!" ”

"No." After ordering the standard-bearer, the execution begins......

Yuan Yao ordered to the commander again: "Summons Chen Wu: Three trumpets!" ”

"No." The commander took the command, turned around and raised the trumpet, and blew vigorously—

"Woo, woo, woo...... Woo, woo, woo...... Woo, woo, woo......"

In the age of cold weapons, the sound of the horn was almost synonymous with war, and every time its sound sounded, people knew what was going to happen.

In this desolate and thick voice, the flagship of Yuan Yao's modified ship began to turn to the left, slowly bringing Wang Wei's warship in front into the shooting realm; The rest of the converted ships followed, and in a short time a line of battle was gradually formed......

Although the single-string firepower of the modified ship is only two ballistas, twenty ships together is not a small number. And in order to intercept Yuan Yao, Wang Wei kept the distance between the two sides very close, so the first round of ballistas hit directly on the fire oil bomb.

The oarsmen and gunners of the modified ship were also drawn from the professional battleship sailors trained by Yuan Hong, so in addition to the weak firepower, the long-range strike capability of the modified ship was no worse than that of the battleship.

Now the Jingzhou Navy is already familiar with the attack methods of battleships, and when the modified fleet pulls up the battle line, Wang Wei knows that he can't fit it!

"Ready to fight ......"

Before he could finish speaking, a line of fire smashed into his warship......

……

In peacetime, when confronting the Jingzhou naval army, Chen Wu led the three-oar warship and the stern fleet to meet the battleship formation, in order to leave room for kite tactics, so they would be far away from the battleship, as long as they could see each other in the line of sight.

In this operation, Chen Wu's task is still to respond, so his position is no different from usual, but there is one more Liu Ye to join the army.

When the desolate horn sounded, Chen Wu was just stunned, but after hearing it clearly that it was three horns, his face suddenly changed greatly: "It's not good, the lord has a plan, and the whole army will attack; Backwards arraignment! ”

The "Three Trumpets" represent the Third Plan; And the third plan represents Chen Heng's deception.

……

The waterway of the Yangtze River is not straight, there are countless bends of large and small on it, each bend is a blind spot, and in a bend not far from Yuzhang, a magnificent fleet of ships is moored, with a total of one building ship, thirty-five fighting ships and thirty battleships......

These warships are naturally all the remaining belongings of the Lujiang naval army, and the main will be Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang; Vice Admiral was Yuan Hong, who led the battleship formation. The reason why they stopped here was to set up an ambush circle for the pursuit force of the Jingzhou Navy as planned. But when three trumpets sounded in the distance, they immediately gave up hiding, and the army rushed in the direction of Yuzhang......

Yuan Yao's horn made all the water troops in Lujiang advance towards the battlefield!

Similarly, all the warships of the Jingzhou Navy also followed the Red Horse Clipper and marched towards the battlefield, so that it would not be long before the two sides would all collide together, so that a decisive battle on the water could not be avoided.

The purpose of this operation was to recruit Chen Heng; Eliminate the Red Horse Herd as much as possible; Try to avoid decisive battles, but be prepared just in case.

Cai Mao's purpose is to catch Yuan Yao; the destruction of battleship formations; Be prepared for a decisive battle, but I don't think the Lujiang Navy dares to do this.

Both sides have similar judgments about the decisive battle, but the reality is beyond the expectations of both sides, and a prepared but unanticipated battle is about to unfold inevitably.

At this time, Yuan Yao had already fought with the warships led by Wang Wei, and Wang Wei's fleet adjusted its direction and pressed on Yuan Yao's fleet with fire and oil bombs.

Although Yuan Yao led not a battleship, he still used kite tactics, because the modified ship was definitely not the opponent of the warship in the broadside battle, but this time the kite tactic may not be used a few times, because Yuan Yao was in the state of being flanked by the Jingzhou Navy before and after, and the five or six hundred red horse clippers that were going down the river were about to rush into the battlefield, and at that time the twenty modified ships would have no way out, let alone any tactics!

Seeing that he was about to be wrapped in dumplings, Lu Meng pulled out the sword in his waist with a "swish", and was ready to fight desperately.

Yuan Yao smiled when he saw it: "Don't worry, it's not time yet." ”

Lu Meng was stunned when he heard this, and blurted out: "Lord, our warship has nowhere to hide!" ”

"Who said that?" Yuan Yao was still in the mood to put on an educational posture at this time, "Although we are now commanding a naval army, our brains cannot be limited by water, although there is nowhere to hide on the water, we will not go to land." ”

"Landing?" Lu Meng was a little dumbfounded.

Under normal circumstances, large warships above the ship cannot land directly because of the deep draft, and must have a dock. If he forcibly landed, he would run aground, which was different, so Lu Meng didn't think of running land.

Seeing this, Yuan Yao no longer explained, and directly turned his head and ordered: "The warship is charging towards the north shore, everyone take their weapons and prepare to abandon the ship and land ......"
