With Sun Quan's order, the entire Jiangdong suddenly entered a tense state of preparation, and soon, Jiangdong's 30,000 troops were assembled, these are the most elite clans in Jiangdong, it is worth saying that Jiangdong is really rich in water army, 30,000 Jiangdong army, nearly half of them are elite water army.

On the surface of the river, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang sat on the same warship, the two of them stood on the deck, looking at the distant river, silent for a while, Zhuge Liang said loudly: "Zhou Dudu, for the upcoming war, do you think our side has a chance of winning?" ”

Zhou Yu frowned and muttered for a long time, Zhou Yu immediately shook his head and said: "The Cao army is far superior to our army in terms of strength and combat power, and the only advantage of our army is these elite sailors, but if we can turn things around with the navy, I don't know, I am quite confused about this battle." ”

Zhou Yu's words surprised Zhuge Liang, you must know that Zhou Yu is an outstanding military strategist, he is very confused about this battle, which means that Zhou Yu is not optimistic about this battle, but it is also right, except for this 10,000 and 50,000 water army, the rest of the soldiers are definitely not Cao Jun's opponents.

Zhuge Liang once fought with Cao Jun, naturally he knew how strong the combat effectiveness of Cao Jun soldiers was, not to mention one-on-one, even if it was two against one, Cao Jun soldiers would not show any timidity, in the face of opponents who were twice as strong as themselves, Cao Jun still had the ability to win the war, this is the strength of Cao Jun.

Although he verbally said that the soldiers of Cao Jun were very unbearable, but the actual situation was much more severe, if it were not for this moment of life and death, Zhuge Liang really wanted not to fight with Cao Jun in a short time, after all, with the current strength of the Sun and Liu coalition army, it was still not Cao Jun's opponent.

Moreover, there are many talents in Cao's army. Not to mention anything else, it is Du Chen Du Silang, who is like a god, is not a person who can be easily dealt with, when he thinks of Du Chen, Zhuge Liang naturally thought of the battle of Xinye City, and then sighed secretly. And Zhou Yu obviously heard Zhuge Liang's sigh.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang's face was not very good, Zhou Yu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Kong Ming, why did you suddenly sigh?" ”

"I thought of a man, of the defeat he had been made that day, and of the next battlefield to meet him, so I sighed." Zhuge Liang's mood was obviously not very good, in the battle of Xinye City, Du Chen gave Zhuge Liang a very big blow, and Zhuge Liang was fledgling at that time. I wanted to prove my ability to the world, but what I didn't expect was that I was defeated, and if I hadn't escaped by luck, I was afraid that I would have died in Xinye City.

"Sir, isn't that Du Chen, Du Silang?" Hearing Zhuge Liang say this, Zhou Yu naturally thought of Du Chen, there are many famous strategists in Cao's army, but Zhuge Liang is not an ordinary person. The person who can leave such a profound lesson to Zhuge Liang is afraid that the only one who is a great captain is a great man who uses soldiers like a god.

Zhuge Liang nodded. Then he told Zhou Yu about the successive defeats he suffered in Xinye City that day, although Zhuge Liang was angry about this battle, but he still had the courage to admit defeat, if he refused to admit defeat, how could he continue to progress, and the defeat of Xinye City gave Zhuge Liang a lot of inspiration. At the same time, he is also deeply aware that the world is so big, and there are really many people who are more powerful than himself, so he took this as a warning and warned himself not to underestimate the people of the world.

Listen to Zhuge Liang. Zhou Yu's handsome face suddenly became very dignified, if it was really the same as Zhuge Liang said, then Du Chen was really the biggest enemy in this battle, put yourself in your shoes, if he was in Xinye City at that time, I am afraid that he would also set this trap for Cao Jun, but Du Chen actually guessed all Zhuge Liang's thoughts, not only did not enter the city, but sent troops to surround Xinye City, if Cao Jun who surrounded Xinye City was anxious, I am afraid that he would not talk to Zhuge Liang on this warship, Zhuge Liang's words gave Zhou Yu a reminder that he must be careful of Du Chen, otherwise there will be absolutely no chance of winning this battle.

After a deep sigh, Zhou Yu immediately spoke: "Even though Du Chen's wisdom is unparalleled, but he is still not familiar with how to train the navy, on land, Du Chen may be able to use soldiers like gods, but really on this river, his use of soldiers like gods will not play any role, on this river, it is the world of our army." ”

Zhou Yu's tone is quite domineering, which means that he is full of confidence in the navy under his command, Zhuge Liang has nothing to say about Zhou Yu's domineering remarks, the Jiangdong navy is really strong, although Zhuge Liang has not seen the Jiangdong navy fighting, but just looking at the momentum of the soldiers, you can know that they are elite.

Just when Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu were talking on the warship, Du Chen was also on the warship, and at this moment, following Du Chen was Cao Cao's newly appointed Naval Governor Cai Mao.

Standing behind Du Chen, Cai Mao's mood was somewhat apprehensive, Du Chen's position was high and powerful, his status in the Cao Army could be described as one person under ten thousand people, for such a heavyweight on the warship of the Jingzhou Army, how could Cai Mao not be careful.

The warship was driving on the calm river, looking at the endless Yangtze River, Du Chen's heart was quite emotional, the reason why he boarded the warship, this was not Du Chen's whim, as early as after taking Xiangyang City, Du Chen planned to board the warship in person to feel what it was like to fight on the water.

Du Chen is an out-and-out northerner, so he is naturally also a landlubber, boat, Du Chen is not the first time to sit, so he doesn't feel too much seasickness, but only Du Chen is in the best condition in Cao Jun and his party, and even Dian Wei, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is lying down and resting in the warship at the moment.

The first feeling of most of the Cao army officers and soldiers on board the ship is that their legs and feet are weak, it is undeniable that Du Chen also feels this way, but it is not as strong as others, just getting on the warship will lose most of the combat power, in this case, even though the Cao army's military strength is twice that of the Jiangdong army, Du Chen still does not dare to take it lightly.

Suddenly, there was a sound of drums in front of him, and Du Chen was about to ask, when a spy came to report, "Lord Qiqi, there is a Jiangdong naval army in front, is it going to fight?" ”

Hearing that there was a Jiangdong Navy in front of him, Du Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and it was better to meet by chance. Now that he has met, Du Chen naturally wants to see the gap between the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy Army, and especially since Cao Cao will try to cross the river in Chibi soon, Du Chen naturally can't let the Jiangdong Navy influence Cao's army.

"Prepare for battle." Du Chen said in a deep voice, after finishing speaking. He was not prepared to enter the cabin at all, in this regard, Cai Mao's heart was somewhat worried, he glanced at Du Chen, and then said: "My lord, if you fight with the Jiangdong naval army, this place will inevitably be very dangerous, so your lordship should go into the cabin first." ”

Du Chen turned his head and glared at Cai Mao, and then said loudly: "Chen is the commander of the three armies. How can you be afraid of the enemy, you can fight with confidence, I will be fine. Du Chen naturally would not retreat into the cabin, if he really entered the cabin, how could he know that the Jingzhou Navy was worse than the Jiangdong Navy Army.

Du Chen's resoluteness made Cai Mao a little helpless, seeing that his words could not persuade Du Chen, Cai Mao could only do what Du Chen said, but the warship he was on was the flagship. Both the defense and the strength of the troops are incomparable to other warships, with all this. Naturally, it is able to keep Du Chen's safety.

Looking at the Jiangdong Navy that was getting closer and closer, Du Chen said to Cai Mao in a deep voice: "De Jue, the next battle will be under your full command, I have never commanded the Navy to fight, and I obviously have no idea about the tactics of the Navy Army. So it's inconvenient to give you orders. ”

Du Chen's words made Cai Mao a little surprised, but after listening to Du Chen, Cai Mao's heart was still very happy, fighting with the Jiangdong Navy Cai Mao was not afraid, and he commanded the Jingzhou soldiers and horses for a long time. Fighting against the Jiangdong Navy has been eight times if not ten times, and Cai Mao is still quite familiar with the tactics of the Jiangdong Navy Army.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou Navy is slightly inferior to the Jiangdong Navy Army, but with the excellent equipment of the Jingzhou Navy Army, there is no problem with a tie with the Jiangdong Navy Army, the only worry is that Du Chen obviously does not know how to command the Navy to fight, but he refuses to let go of power, if he is defeated because of this, then this black pot is afraid that he will have to carry it himself, and now, he has no worries about this, Du Chen does not command indiscriminately, Cai Mao has the confidence to defeat the Jiangdong Navy Army.

Cai Mao leaned over to receive the order, and then he began to command the Jingzhou Navy to prepare to meet the enemy, one after another orders were said from Cai Mao's mouth, which made Du Chen's heart indescribably satisfied, Cai Mao really has some skills, seeing that he is so skillful in commanding, and the accuracy and certainty of the order, it seems that Cai Mao is also experienced in battle.

Obviously, Cai Mao is definitely a rare naval talent, for such a talent, Du Chen's heart is obviously very satisfied, there are no qualified naval generals in the Cao army, but the appearance of Cai Mao has broken this situation, with Cai Mao, Du Chen is more confident in the victory of this battle.

On the opposite side of the Jingzhou Navy, the Jiangdong Navy, apparently, also discovered the Jingzhou Navy, the battle was informed to Zhou Yu for the first time, Zhou Yu went out of the cabin to check the Jingzhou Navy, and then ordered to chase and attack, the Jingzhou Navy, it seems to be quite powerful, but this is just a superficial phenomenon.

Although the Jingzhou Navy is slightly superior in strength and equipment, but in the confrontation between the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy Army, the Jingzhou Navy is obviously winning less and losing more, and sometimes, the outcome of the war does not only depend on the number of people and equipment, but also has the momentum of being invincible, which is the most important factor in determining the outcome of the war.

If you fight with Cao Jun, you are definitely not Cao Jun's opponent, but in the face of the Jingzhou Water Army, Zhou Yu's heart is obviously not afraid, this battle can only win and not lose, after all, this is the first battle with Cao Jun, through this battle, Zhou Yu wants to let the Jiangdong soldiers play the momentum of the Jiangdong Water Army, he wants Cao Cao to know that with the Jingzhou Water Army, these soft eggs want to defeat the powerful Jiangdong Water Army, this is undoubtedly a fool's dream, he wants Cao Jun to know, what is the elite Water Army.

Zhou Yu quickly commanded the Jiangdong Navy to prepare for battle, but what he didn't expect was that the Jingzhou Navy on the opposite side was also in the process of changing formations, and Zhou Yu was surprised that the Jingzhou Navy reflected so quickly, and after thinking about it slightly, Zhou Yu guessed the reason, if he didn't guess it, Cai Mao would definitely be on this battlefield.

Although Zhou Yu is not afraid of the Jingzhou navy, but for Cai Mao, Zhou Yu is still very jealous, the reason why Jingzhou has been able to maintain peace and stability for a long time, the biggest hero is Cai Mao Undoubtedly, Cai Mao is not an ordinary patriarch of the Shi clan, he has a very outstanding talent for commanding troops.

If it comes to fighting with Cao Jun, Zhou Yu is most worried not about Du Chen, but Cai Mao, after all, even though Du Chen is resourceful, he has never understood how to lead the navy. And on this endless river, even if Du Chen was resourceful, he had no way to use his clever plan.

Knowing that the commander of the Jingzhou Navy was Cai Mao, Zhou Yu said that he was a little afraid of Cai Mao, but he was obviously not afraid of Cai Mao, and it was better to meet by chance. Since we meet today, let's have a good fight with Cai Mao to see if he Cai Mao is powerful, or if he Zhou Yu is better.

The two sides who want to fight are getting closer and closer, and they are all ready to fight, looking at the battlefield that is about to erupt, Du Chen fell into deep thought, for how the naval army fights, Du Chen knows very little. In addition to hiding on the deck and shooting arrows at each other, Du Chen obviously couldn't think of any other way to attack.

Du Chen thought so, but the real naval battle was not bad from what Du Chen thought, just after the Jingzhou naval army and the Jiangdong naval army launched a formation one after another, tentative shooting began, and the battle was between the two sides, alternating arrows and shooting at each other.

It's all tentative attacks. Du Chen frowned, for no other reason. The quasi-head of the Jingzhou Navy Army obviously had no way to compare with the Jiangdong Navy Army, and it was just a momentary attack, and the Jingzhou Navy Army easily revealed its shortcomings, which made Du Chen's face naturally a little gloomy.

Cai Mao obviously noticed the change in Du Chen's face, and Cai Mao said that she was very helpless about this result. It is an indisputable fact that the Jingzhou Navy is negligent in training, and compared with the elite Jiangdong Navy Army, the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou Army is obviously very insufficient, but fortunately, it has an absolute strength in strength. So Cai Mao is not afraid.

"Set fire to the boat." With Cai Mao's order, several small boats loaded with flammable materials went down the river, and the small boats sailed to the center of the battlefield, and then burned violently, and soon, the burning boats went down the river and crashed into the warships of the Jiangdong Navy.

Although the Jiangdong Navy can dodge, but the river is so wide, even if you want to hide, where can you hide, soon, several fireships made meritorious contributions, they soon ignited several Jiangdong warships, and then there were bursts of exclamations, and the warships were quickly engulfed in flames.

Seeing this, Du Chen's expression softened a little, but a few warships obviously had no impact on the Jiangdong Navy, and the fireships obviously had to take advantage of the geographical advantage, if the enemy was upstream, then it would be the Jingzhou Navy that was ignited.

As the warships got closer and closer, the real battle began, but this obviously made Du Chen even more annoyed, because the Jingzhou Navy was not the opponent of the Jiangdong Navy at all, and in front of the Jiangdong Navy Army, the Jingzhou Navy was like a peasant who had never received training and was killed by the soldiers of the Jiangdong Navy Army.

At this moment, not to mention Du Chen, even Cai Mao's face is not very good-looking, the quality of the Jingzhou Navy makes Du Chen very disappointed, and in the next few days, he must let Cai Mao practice the Jingzhou Navy well, otherwise with such combat effectiveness, Cao Jun has no possibility of winning at all.

Of course, Du Chen also knew that the reason why the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou Navy was so low was that in addition to the negligence of the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army, there was also a lack of morale, after all, these sailors had just surrendered to the Cao Army, and it was obviously normal for them to not have much momentum and sense of belonging.

The battle continues, the war is escalating, the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy have been fighting for an hour, but the victory is still not divided, although the Jingzhou Navy is weak in combat, but the troops are sufficient, and there are constantly Jingzhou Navy ships to supplement the battlefield, which makes the battle situation not appear one-sided.

After fighting for an hour, Zhou Yu's mood was obviously not very good, Cai Mao was really good at fighting, he used a procrastination trick perfectly, and the Jiangdong Navy suffered heavy losses in his procrastination trick, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would only have to withdraw the army.

However, Zhou Yu obviously doesn't want to admit defeat so easily, as the so-called thief captures the king first, a large part of the reason why the Jingzhou Navy has been able to support it until now is on Cai Mao's body, if he can solve Cai Mao, he will undoubtedly win this battle.

This was not the time to hide, and Zhou Yu quickly gave the order for Gan Ning to lead his Jinfan Army to attack, aiming directly at the flagship of the Jingzhou Army and killing Cai Mao.

Getting this general order, Gan Ning was obviously very excited, since the beginning of the war, he and his soldiers have always been spectators, after watching it for so long, it is natural that the generals who have seen it are psychologically itchy, but they all know that they can't rush to send troops, good steel is used on the blade, and the elite will naturally not attack easily.

Hearing that Cai Mao was going to be killed, the soldiers of the Jinfan Army were very happy, and as soon as they received the order, Gan Ning led the soldiers of the 800 Jinfan Army to rush towards the main formation of the Jingzhou Naval Army.

These more than 800 people are like tigers out of the cage. Everywhere he went, the soldiers of Jingzhou were killed one after another, and the battle was so fierce, Du Chen obviously did not find this strange phenomenon, after all, eight hundred people were not very conspicuous, and in the battle of nearly 10,000 people, more than eight hundred people were nothing.

Getting closer and closer to the flagship of the Jingzhou Naval Army. The resistance encountered by the Jinfan Army was obviously getting bigger and bigger, but it is worth mentioning that Gan Ning led eight hundred soldiers to approach a lot, and it was only at this time that Du Chen noticed this.

Gan Ning obviously saw Cai Mao on the battleship, took out his bow and arrows, and was about to shoot an arrow when he pulled the bow, but the arrow was not fired, because Gan Ning hesitated slightly. Because Gan Ning found that Cai Mao was obviously very concerned about a scribe in front of him at this moment.

Could it be that this scribe is more important, Gan Ning thought secretly, and then changed the direction of aiming, bent the bow and shot the arrow, and the arrow shot straight towards Du Chen, and then nailed it to Du Chen's body.

With a successful blow, Gan Ning hurriedly ordered the soldiers of the Jinfan Army to retreat. After shooting the scribe, Gan Ning had no chance to shoot Cai Mao any more. Jingzhou's naval army is already preparing to encircle itself, and if he doesn't choose to withdraw at this time, he will have no chance to evacuate here.

Seeing that Gan Ning was retreating, Zhou Yu immediately knew that Gan Ning had already succeeded, and since he had succeeded, if he didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, how could he be worthy of Gan Ning and the soldiers of the Jinfan Army who fought bloodily. Zhou Yu gave an order, and the soldiers of the Jiangdong Navy launched the most fierce attack on the Jingzhou Navy Army.

The offensive of the Jiangdong Navy had a remarkable effect, which made Zhou Yu feel at ease, and the attack did not last for a while, and the Jingzhou Navy began to retreat on a large scale. Zhou Yu obviously will not give up such an excellent opportunity, the Jingzhou naval army launched a pursuit, a long time of pursuit, Zhou Yu ordered Ming Jin to withdraw the troops, for such a result Zhou Yu is very satisfied, a battle defeated the main force of the Cao army, which greatly encouraged the momentum of the Jiangdong soldiers, the victory of this battle, the results of the next battle have a great impact.

However, this is obviously not the most happy thing to lead Zhou Yu, what makes Zhou Yu most satisfied is that Gan Ning killed the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Navy in one fell swoop, which has a significant impact on the occupation, even if Cai Mao is not dead, he must have been seriously injured, after all, Gan Ning is not a person who will shoot casually, if he makes a move, he will naturally find an opportunity to be able to strike a fatal blow, but whether Cai Mao is dead or seriously injured, Cao Jun has lost the commander-in-chief of the Navy Army.

The whole Jingzhou makes itself jealous of only Cai Mao, the general of the navy, if the Cao army loses this naval general, there will be no one to train the naval army for Cao Cao, the generals under Cao Cao are all generals in the north, but there are few people who will train the naval army, use the northern generals to train the naval army, such a force must not have much combat effectiveness, the naval army of the Cao army is not their opponent, as long as they hold the Yangtze River, it will be difficult for the Cao army to cross the river.

Cao Cao's army of more than 100,000, and then counting the hundreds of thousands of troops in Jingzhou, Cao Jun has an army of 300,000 or 400,000, this staggering number also represents how terrifying Cao Jun's grain and grass consumption is, and the grain and grass consumed by the 340,000 army every day is a rather terrifying array.

The Cao army obviously has no way to support the consumption of grain and grass for the army of three or four hundred thousand, and in the long run, the only way out for the Cao army is to withdraw, although Zhou Yu's idea is to be able to defeat the Cao army, but forcing the Cao army to withdraw is undoubtedly the best way, after all, if it is to fight with the Cao army, the army is bound to suffer heavy losses.

The Jiangdong Navy retreated, but Cai Mao on the flagship was obviously a little overwhelmed, Gan Ning's arrow was not someone else, it was Du Chen, although Gan Ning's arrow killed Du Chen was just a temporary intention, but you must know that Gan Ning's archery is outstanding, although he did not aim carefully, but still shot Du Chen.

Although Gan Ning's bow and arrow hit Du Chen, fortunately, Gan Ning's bow and arrow did not hit Du Chen's vital point, but was nailed to Du Chen's shoulder, but you must know that Du Chen's body was already thin and weak, and after such a serious blow, how could he withstand such a heavy blow.

The arrow pierced into Du Chen's shoulder, Du Chen only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and then smashed it on the deck, and soon, Cai Mao and others surrounded him, and the sharp pain on his shoulder constantly stimulated Du Chen's nerves, and in the end, Du Chen's nerves could no longer withstand such stimulation, and he fainted.

Du Chen's fainting made Cai Mao even more overwhelmed, you must know what kind of character Du Chen is, he has a problem with his own navy and his own warship, how could Cao Cao let himself go easily, so at the first time Du Chen was injured, Cai Mao quickly ordered people to retreat, the purpose was to treat Du Chen in the shortest possible time.

Soon, the military doctor was called to treat Du Chen on the flagship, seeing Du Chen with an arrow in his shoulder, his face was pale, the military doctor's face was obviously very bad, Du Chen's injury made the military doctor frown, although he was all shot in the shoulder, but the position of the arrow was almost close to the heart, which was not a good thing.

It's easy to say that the arrow didn't hit the heart, but if it really hit the heart, even the gods couldn't cure Du Chen's disease, and the position of the arrow was very sensitive, which made the military doctor not have the courage to pull out the arrow, nor the courage to heal Du Chen, after all, if something really happened to Du Chen, he would be the first to lose his head.

The military doctor's expression made Cai Mao panic, and he could see from the military doctor's expression that Du Chen's situation was not very good now, Cai Mao grabbed the military doctor, and then shouted in the loudest voice in his life: "If you still want to save your life, save me Lord Taiwei." ”

Even though Cai Mao was already angry to the extreme, the military doctor said with a bitter face: "Dudu, it's not that his subordinates are incompetent, it's really that the location of the arrow is too close to the heart, if you take out the arrow rashly, I'm afraid it will hurt the adult's heart and lungs, and at that time, I'm afraid it will directly kill the adult." ”

Hearing what the military doctor said, Cai Mao was obviously panicked, Du Chen was so seriously injured on his warship, I am afraid that his life will also end, at this time Cai Mao is obviously very remorseful, if he insisted on it at the beginning, Lord Taiwei would definitely not be injured.

"My lord, although the arrow can't be pulled out now, but it can stop the bleeding for Lord Taiwei first, I think there must be a doctor in Cao Jun who is more proficient in medical skills than in Xia Medicine, and it will obviously be safer to hand over Lord Taiwei to Cao Jun's doctor for treatment." The military doctor said from the side.

Cai Mao nodded, so far, I am afraid that there is only this way, there is no way to hide Du Chen's injury, and now the top priority is to save Du Chen's life, as for whether Cao Cao punishes himself and how to punish himself, let's wait until Du Chen is saved.

At this moment, Cao Cao was sitting in the big tent with a gloomy face, when the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy had a water war, the main army led by him had begun to prepare to cross the river, and the battle between the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy made Cao's idea of crossing the river only come to naught.

Since there is no way to cross the river, then let's see if there is any merit in the Jingzhou naval army, but the more you look at it, the more gloomy Cao Cao's face becomes, especially in the end, the Jingzhou naval army, which is twice as large as the Jiangdong naval army, actually retreated on all fronts and collapsed, such a battle result really made Cao Cao angry. (To be continued......)
