Early in the morning of the second day, Yuan Yao led a formation of battleships to kill Yuzhang Peng Lijin where the Jingzhou Navy was stationed......

After arriving at the destination, the Jingzhou naval army had already received the news and spread out a formation on the river. However, in the face of the 21 battleships that had just arrived, they still did not take the initiative to attack, but collectively retreated to Peng Lizene......

Peng Lize is the ancient name of Panyang Lake, but the area included is about half the size of Panyang Lake in later generations, and does not represent the entire Panyang Lake, mainly the name of the Yangtze River Basin.

The water of the Yangtze River passed through Peng Lize, and half of it was assigned to Lujiang County in Jiangbei, and the other half was left in Yuzhang County in Jiangnan. The direction of the retreat of the Jingzhou naval army is naturally the direction of Yuzhang in the south.

Seeing that the Jingzhou naval army with an absolute numerical advantage fled without a fight, although Yuan Yao was proud in his heart, he still gave up the idea of pursuit, because Peng Lize was like a pocket to Yuan Yao, and if he was blocked by someone at the mouth of the lake, it would be equivalent to being wrapped in dumplings, and the result would definitely be disastrous, so Yuan Yao rationally did not choose to pursue, but ordered the fleet to bombard the empty Peng Lijin, and then set a few more fires......

Peng Lijin is a civilian port, more rudimentary than the facilities of the previous Lujiang Water Village, there is no point in destroying it, the reason for attacking here is to retaliate for the previous blockade of the Yangtze River; The second is to attract the Jingzhou naval army to give up its geographical advantages and come out of Peng Lize to fight on the Yangtze River, so that it is convenient for battleships to fly kites.

……

"Mr. Xeno, this Yuan kid refuses to chase after him, what should we do?"

On the flagship ship of the Jingzhou Navy Army, looking at the battleship formation in the distance, the Metropolitan Governor Cai Mao frowned and asked Kuai Yue beside him, but Kuai Yue stroked his beard and smiled unhurriedly: "It's okay, bringing him to attack is just to verify the Governor's guess, and now it seems that the other party does not dare to fight in close combat as the Governor expected, which means that the clipper assault tactics we formulated are still feasible." ”

Cai Mao was stunned when she heard this, but immediately asked, "So what should we do now?" Do you want the Clippers to play right away? ”

Kuai Yue frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "The Red Horse Clippers we have assembled now have just arrived at two hundred, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve the purpose of the assault in terms of numbers. It's best to wait until you've mobilized before launching an attack, so that you don't take it by surprise. ”

Cai Mao said a little impatiently: "Then we just watched the Yuan family kid act recklessly?" ”

Kuai Yue pointed to Peng Lijin, who was on fire, and said with relief: "It's just some wooden buildings, and it won't take long to burn and rebuild." ”

Cai Mao didn't appreciate it, and said angrily: "But when did our Jingzhou Navy suffer this kind of wretchedness!" ”

Yuan Yao swaggered in front of the Jingzhou Navy to attack their station, this is obviously the method of agitation, Kuai Yue naturally will not fail to see it, I wanted to persuade Cai Mao not to be fooled, but found that the surrounding generals had a look of resentment on their faces, knowing that they would be angry if they said anything more frustrating, so they had to sigh secretly and said: "So it is best to send the warships to fight the forward, line up in a dense formation to block the enemy's sight, let the Chima Clipper dodge behind it, and then accelerate the assault when it is close, or it can be taken by surprise." ”

"Okay, that's it!" Cai Mao slapped the side of the boat and shouted loudly.

……

When Yuan Yao attacked Peng Lijin, he did not give up paying attention to the Jingzhou naval army in the distance, and when he saw piles of ships, one by one, rushing towards this side, he ordered the battleships to rearrange the battle line, and then retreated to the center of the river to avoid the edge for the time being. If the other party continues to chase without knowing each other, it is naturally a kite to serve.

However, according to the losses of the Jingzhou Navy yesterday, Yuan Yao felt that the Jingzhou Navy should not be so stupid to come up and send them to death again.

The strategic goal of Yuan Yao's operation was to relieve the Jingzhou naval army's intention to blockade the Yangtze River, so that they would no longer dare to cruise around arrogantly, and he did not intend to rely on 21 battleships to wipe out the entire Jingzhou naval army.

Of course, before the other side is not familiar with battleship tactics, it is also planned to take advantage of more.

However, when he saw clearly the Jingzhou warships rushing over in a dense formation, Yuan Yao had a trace of doubt in his heart, because this formation seemed to be deliberately arranged to match the low hit rate of the battleship, and this kind of behavior was simply a deliberate death.

As an enemy, such an intimate one is sent up and beaten, which makes people have to give birth to the feeling that "there must be a demon when things go wrong".

And the other party is rushing out of Peng Lize; After driving away the battleship that bombarded Peng Lijin, he did not stop there, but continued to chase Yuan Yao without any scruples, as if he didn't know that there were more than 40 ships that died at the hands of the battleship yesterday......

"Keep your distance, don't let them catch up just yet."

In the face of the abnormal behavior of the Jingzhou naval army, Yuan Yao was full of doubts, so he gave up immediately using the tactics of flying a kite to attack the enemy, but decided to leave this enemy water area first to avoid any ambush and other accidents, after all, the number of Jingzhou naval forces is still very scary, if you accidentally fall into any tricks, it will be troublesome to be entangled again.

The number of ships chasing after him was only sixty or seventy, if it was only this number, then even if there was something boring, Yuan Yao would not be too worried, so he would hang them boldly with confidence.

Under the condition that Yuan Yao deliberately controlled the distance, Jingzhou was about 150 steps away from the battleship formation, and it was not until he left Peng Lize more than ten miles away that Yuan Yao ordered the battleship formation to reduce its speed and prepare to start fighting......

Since both sides were on the same plane, Yuan Yao didn't notice that Jingzhou was followed by a bunch of red horse clippers, and even if a few were occasionally exposed, it was difficult to attract attention, because it was a common thing for small boats to follow the big boats.

Under Yuan Yao's orders, 21 battleships formed a battle line and began to move laterally from the head, which was the first step in a serpentine maneuver and marked the beginning of kite-flying tactics;

Jingzhou's warp formation seemed to be waiting for this moment, and just as the battleship had just turned, it suddenly accelerated violently, and rushed towards the battleship's firing range as if it were not fatal, and soon rushed into the effective range of the stone projectile itself......

At the moment when Jingzhou's warp suddenly accelerated, Yuan Yao's heart also lifted, this was a nervousness for no reason, as if it was a warning from heaven, or a foreknowledge of danger, which made him involuntarily more cautious.

"Freedom to attack!" When the Jingzhou warship entered the firing range, Yuan Yao gave the order to attack under psychological pressure.

The side of the battleship shot out piles of stone bullets, smashing towards the Jingzhou warship within a hundred steps, the opponent's dense formation greatly increased the hit rate of the stone bullets, and the enemy who was hit kept sounding the hull shattering and the screams of the personnel, but these smashed ships were unmoved, and still moved in a straight line at a speed faster than before, not dodging or dodging!

When Jingzhou rushed within fifty paces of the battle line as if he were not dying; That is, when Yuan Yao was within the effective range of the fire oil bomb as specified, the first serpentine maneuver of the battleship formation had not yet been completed, and it was impossible to carry out a fire attack on the ships within the range, which was completely different from the battle situation in yesterday's pursuit battle.

At this time yesterday, the battle line had begun its second serpentine maneuver, successfully seizing the second "T" position, and firing a wave of fire and oil bombs!

Yuan Yao found that the rhythm of his kite tactics was disrupted!

But he soon discovered that this was not the most dangerous thing, because at this moment, the dense formation of the Jingzhou warship suddenly dispersed, and the more than 200 Chima clippers that followed it rushed towards the battleship formation that was only 50 paces away at a speed exceeding one-third of the ship......

Kuai Yue's temporary tactics, at this moment, were perfectly executed by the Jingzhou Navy, if anyone knows the inside story, they will definitely sigh at the fighting quality of the Jingzhou Navy.

"Not good!" The moment he saw the piles of Red Horse Clippers rushing out, Yuan Yao broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect that the tactics against the battleships would be discovered so quickly!

What is happening in front of him is exactly the tactics he has simulated in his mind to restrain the battleship, but this is formulated on the premise that he knows the battleship very well, that is to say, it can be formulated under the premise of "knowing himself and knowing the enemy" and without any obstacles.

But the Jingzhou Navy was beaten yesterday and had no power to fight back, and such a targeted tactic had been formulated today, and it was only a day before and after, how could he not be surprised!
