Chapter 592: The Great War (2)
"General, what are we going to do next?" The deputy general on the side looked at the dense enemy over there and was terrified, but there were 400 warships on the opposite side, 100,000 soldiers and horses, even if it was 100,000 pigs, standing there, one person had to kill more than ten, you really thought that this Yangzhou Navy was an invincible superman.
This deputy general is still a veteran of the Yangzhou Navy, and he is a man and horse with Gan Ning, and he also participated in the war of the Yangzhou Navy to send 30,000 soldiers and horses from Jiangdong to the bottom of the Yangtze River, but that's it, he is also a little flustered, because the opposite side is ten times his own.
"What should I do?" Lu Xun stood on the bow of the boat, the river wind rose, blowing the bun on Lu Xun's head, it is actually nothing whether the naval generals wear helmets or not, now the bed crossbow is the mainstay, and the giant arrow of the bed crossbow can be crotched with a helmet?
Lu Xun himself is also weak-minded, he has won once, in addition to that fight with Wenpin, Lu Xun is also a newcomer, or because of the lord Liu Mangli's disagreement that Lu Xun became the new commander of the Yangzhou Navy.
No matter how panicked Lu Xun is, he must be calm and calm on the surface, because he is the backbone of the First Army. If he panicked, what could the rest of his men do?
"Since we are all here and the two sides have met, then let's give this Jiangdong Navy and Jingzhou Navy a meeting gift!" Lu Xun couldn't help but panic and said to the deputy general on the side.
"Come, give the order to go down, put away the sails, and face the battle head-on!" Lu Xun: They are at the downwind and downstream, so they need to put the sails down so that they will not be affected by the river wind.
"Yes" The order of the Yangzhou Navy under his command was quickly passed on
"The Metropolitan Governor is invited" There is no need for a herald to say that Zhou Yu also went to the main stage of the flagship of the Jiangdong Navy Army, where Sun Ce was watching the movements of the Yangzhou Navy over there.
"Gong Jin, what do you think this Yangzhou Navy wants," Sun Ce asked suspiciously. Over there, the Yangzhou Navy actually lowered its sails. With sails, the Yangzhou Navy can keep a distance from the Jiangdong Navy and the Jingzhou Navy Alliance. Once the sails are lowered, under this situation, this Yangzhou naval army will soon be caught up.
"Take the initiative?" Zhou Yu watched the movements of the Yangzhou Navy on the surface of the Yangtze River.
"The lord is attacking?" Sun Ce asked, didn't the direction he looked at the warships of the Yangzhou Navy coming from his side? "Has the Yangzhou Navy changed its coach?"
Originally, Sun Ce thought that even if the Yangzhou Navy would go out of the Lujiang Navy Dazhai, it would go directly down the Yangtze River to the mouth of the Yangtze River to avoid the war, after all, even if the Yangzhou Navy was strong, it could not be ten times stronger than the enemy.
Going to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River to avoid war is a good practice, but now it seems that the commander of the Yangzhou Navy obviously does not want to do this. Instead, he did the opposite, and even took the initiative to face it? Isn't this looking for death? Do you really want to come and have a hard time?
"The Yangzhou Navy has not changed its commander. It's still that Lu Xun Lu Boyan! Zhou Yu shook his head and said to Sun Ce: "This Lu Xun and Lu Boyan really can't be underestimated!" The Lu family is worthy of being a big family in Lujiang, and there are many talents. "This Lu Xun took the initiative to attack, not only is there nothing wrong, but this is the right approach, this Lu Xun is becoming more and more mature.
Although the commander of the navy won the Wenpin, Zhou Yu still saw a very jerky tactic, because Zhou Yu had several contacts with Lu Xun's Yangzhou navy after the battle, and knew that the range of the bed crossbow of the Yangzhou navy was more than twice as strong as that they were using now, but Lu Xun did not take advantage of the bed crossbow, but chose to ram, which was a risky behavior and a bad deal. If Wen Ping was ruthless at that time. It could be a lose-lose outcome.
But now this Lu Xun has begun to mature, and Zhou Yu has to be dignified.
"This Lu Xun is to boost morale. The lord asked his warships to pay attention to defense! Slow down and let the Jingzhou Navy go first! Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce on the side.
Sun Ce nodded, and the herald quickly let the order out, and the Jiangdong Navy was half a beat slower.
"Huh?" Wen Ping over there is not a fool, he also saw the movements of the Jiangdong Water Army
"What does the Jiangdong Army want to do? The Yangzhou Navy has rushed up, so hurry up and rush over and take down the Yangzhou Navy in one fell swoop! The deputy general of Wen Ping said a little sullenly on the side. Are these twenty Yangzhou naval warships afraid of the Jiangdong Army? "If that's the case, then let's get the Jingzhou Navy on it, don't think about the Jiangdong Army if you get this new warship!"
"Pass the order, we'll slow down too!" Anyway, Wen Ping has already suffered the loss of the Yangzhou Water Army, so he is also very cautious, and it is not unreasonable for Zhou Yu to slow down over there.
"General? Now is a great opportunity to take this Yangzhou Navy, if our army surrounds him, then the Jiangdong Navy's army will not want to get anything from us! The deputy general on the side also wanted to persuade Wen Ping to go to block the Yangzhou Navy and take them down. The two armies are linked, so there is less possibility that one side will send out and the other side will watch the excitement, no matter what, it will be involved, but the length of time is just short, and the side that strikes first will inevitably have a greater advantage to get these new warships.
"Hurry up and give the order!" Wen Ping didn't bother to explain, and said in a deep voice to the deputy general.
"Yes!" The adjutant general could only nod, and soon the warships of the Jingzhou Navy began to slow down, and once again they were neck and neck with the Jiangdong Navy Army.
"Old fox!" Zhou Yu scolded secretly on the flagship, he originally wanted to let the Jingzhou Navy first withstand the first wave of attacks of the Yangzhou Navy Army, so he slowed down the angle, the military law is cloudy, and then it declines and then intercepts, since the Yangzhou Navy dares to counter-charge, it will naturally be released with the greatest attack power, and this attack Zhou Yu doesn't want them Jiangdong Navy to try.
Seeing that the Jingzhou Navy was unwilling to do this wrong, Zhou Yu could only let go of the idea of pitting the Jingzhou Navy Army.
"Unleash the warship!" Zhou Yu ordered to the people under him.
"Yes!" Soon, one by one, the small ships were dropped from the building ship and landed on the surface of the Yangtze River.
"Put down the ship?" The Jingzhou Navy over there didn't understand, but seeing that Zhou Yu put down the warship, he also asked the soldiers and horses under his command to put down all the warships.
"Shipwreck?" The banks of the Yangtze River. Zhuge Liang's master and servant stepped on the solid road of the earth.
Zhuge Liang was holding a small bucket in his hand. is watching the duel between the two fleets on the Yangtze River.
"What is this, sir?" Wu Hui on the side asked strangely. Because after he saw that Mr. used this thing, he kept staring at the surface of the Yangtze River, which is very wide, and he really can't see it clearly with the naked eye.
"This one, this one is clairvoyance!" Zhuge Liang was not stingy at all, and handed over the clairvoyance in his hand for Wu Hui to watch.
Wu Hui followed Zhuge Liang's example, and put his eyes on: "Ahhhhhhhhh When one set went up, Wu Hui screamed in fright. With a flick of his hand, the clairvoyant almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Zhuge Liang's hand was fast, so he caught "frizzy!" This falls, and I can't afford to sell you a thousand times! Zhuge Liang shook his head and almost fell, in fact, Zhuge Liang also cared too much about this thing, because the person who sent him was more important to Zhuge Liang, and the road surface by the river was still soft sand, and it was dirty at most if it fell on it.
"This, this, sir, how can he see so far?" Wu Hui looked at Zhuge Liang with palpitations, he was really frightened just now. Because his eyes were on it, he found that he actually saw the movement on the surface of the Yangtze River over there.
"That's why he's called Claireye!" Zhuge Liang looked at the surface of the Yangtze River, and the Jiangdong Navy unexpectedly released the ship. Zhuge Liang frowned, he and Zhou Yu didn't have this plan in front of him.
It seems that this Zhou Yu really can't be underestimated.
"Report to the general, the enemy army has released countless warships and is coming towards our army!"
Lu Xun soon saw a bunch of warships on the surface of the Yangtze River, and about two of them were released on each building ship, densely packed with small boats on the surface of the Yangtze River.
Because of its small hull, the speed of the warship was very fast, and it was almost a cup of tea to rush to the front of the Yangzhou naval fleet.
"Bang bang bang!" Only a sound was heard, and these little ships rushed towards the Yangzhou Navy warship, and they crashed into the Yangzhou Navy warship and tried to hit the Yangzhou Navy warship by leaning on the iron ramming angle of the warship's head.
"Crush it!" Lu Xun finally knew what this Zhou Yu wanted to do, this was to slow down his speed, although these warships were small, but there were more insects that could bite the elephant to death, and the small warships suddenly hit the Yangzhou Navy warship, which was also very uncomfortable, no matter how strong the hull was, it couldn't withstand too many blows.
"Yes!" Soon the Yangzhou Navy warship moved, and the Yangzhou Navy warship may be a little smaller than the building ship of the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy Alliance, but it is indeed a behemoth for these little ships, and Lu Xun pressed it over.
Soon I heard the sound of clicking and screaming on the river, and the huge Yangzhou Navy warship pressed on the bodies of those little ships and directly overwhelmed them to the bottom, and under the pressure of the water pressure, the entire small warship disintegrated, and some of the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Navy who had no time to escape were directly crushed into scum by the Yangzhou Navy warships.
Releasing the warboard is Zhou Yu's attention, and it is really to slow down the speed of the Yangzhou Navy, although the little Captain is destined to not be able to hit the warships of the Yangzhou Navy, but as long as they are contained, the loss of a two-ship boat is not seen by Zhou Yu at all.
"Can you crush one, can you crush a bunch?" The little ones rushed forward one after the other.
"Report, report to General, too much, too much!" Soon the herald returned, and the Yangzhou Navy was advancing in a goose-shaped formation, so the vanguard warships in front soon sent a message that the enemy had too many small ships, and it was difficult for them to break through.
How long will it be until you're going to press through one by one?
Zhou Yu, Sun Ce, Zhuge Liang, Wen Ping, no matter which of these four names is taken out, they are all famous, either they are fierce generals in the army, or they are commanders, and there is also a demon, Lu Xun is thinking about who came up with this strategy, why Lu Xun wants to countercharge, that is because Lu Xun wants to rely on a small victory to open the situation first, because there are too many enemies, and many soldiers under his hands are trembling, and they need a victory to motivate, which is a kind of sharpness, Lu Xun wanted to release the sharpness of the last victory. And on the other side, I don't know whose plan it is. These little ships were released. One is to slow down the speed of the Yangzhou Navy warship, and another reason is to rub off the sharp spirit of the Yangzhou Navy Army, and make a drum like a tiger, if this attack is anticlimactic, then it will be difficult to open the situation later, once the military heart is lost, it is difficult to mention it again without ten days and half a month, and he Lu Xun does not have so much time to consume "Open the bottom and run the door!" Bed crossbows, low angles, don't care about arrows. Ejection! "Lu Xun pulled out the bed crossbow." I want my battleship to be five meters within a radius of water, and I can't see a single shipper! β
"Bang Bang!" One by one, the new warships of the Yangzhou Navy opened their bottom gun doors, and one after another bed crossbows were pulled out, and all the bed crossbows were pulled down at angles.
"Aim, fire!" Under an order, countless giant arrows of bed crossbows were thrown into the Yangtze River from the warships of the Yangzhou Navy Army, Zhou Yu's warships were very flexible, but they could not stand the design of the Yangzhou Navy regardless of consumption, and the giant arrows of these bed crossbows could even penetrate the building ship directly, not to mention these small warships, basically as long as they hit. Then there is no second option for the warship except to sink, and the sinking is not the end. This is just the beginning.
The warship was shot through by the bed crossbow, and the Jiangdong soldiers on it were just about to rejoice, because they were not directly crushed by the Yangzhou Navy warships like the first batch of robes, and finally the bones were gone, they were able to dive anyway, the warship sank and jumped away, these Jiangdong Army Navy water properties are not bad, and the sinking of the ship will not roll up much of a whirlpool, so they can still escape.
These Jiangdong sailors were just about to rejoice, but suddenly the expression on their faces that they had escaped death was gone, and it turned into a deep fear.
"Puff puff!" A sound of the bed crossbow giant arrow fell in the water, swinging countless blood flowers, just like using a fork to fork the fish, now this fish has become a person, the giant arrow rain formed by the bed crossbow fell directly into the water, countless Jiangdong soldiers who jumped into the water were directly penetrated by the subsequent bed crossbow, even the heavy armor of the heavy armored cavalry could not withstand the bed crossbow, not to mention these sailors wearing wooden armor or leather armor, were penetrated by the giant arrows of the bed crossbow, the bed crossbow giant arrow was made of wood, so it quickly surfaced again, That miserable appearance makes people's scalp tingle, and those who die directly are okay, and those who can't die are called miserable.
Pierced by a giant arrow, the whole thing is like a live fish that has been harpooned, and I want to struggle, but the internal organs have been squeezed out by the bed crossbow, and I have already stepped into the ghost gate with half a foot, but I will not be able to die for a while.
It was difficult to commit suicide, the whole body couldn't move at all, and the endless wails rippled above the surface of the Yangtze River.
"Puff puff!" Twenty Yangzhou naval warships swept away, basically everywhere they walked was not spared, and countless bed crossbow giant arrows directly sent those small boats into the bottom of the river.
No matter how many ships there are, there are not as many giant arrows as the bed crossbow, and the surface of the river suddenly turns bright red.
Looking at this tragic appearance, many boats that didn't rush up were almost scared to death, who had ever played such a dead look, without Zhou Yu's military order, the rest of the boats would retreat directly.
Zhou Yu didn't blame anything, he didn't expect this Yangzhou naval warship to be so sharp. However, the stronger the warships of the Yangzhou Navy are, the more Zhou Yu and Sun Ce want it.
"Let the ship withdraw!" Zhou Yu gave the order to go down, and the boat was able to breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly retreated.
"Pass the order, go forward on the naval warships on both sides, and protect the flagship! Lord, let's go into the cabin! Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce nodded and entered the cabin with Zhou Yu, and Wen Ping also noticed it and entered the cabin.
"Half sail, stop the ship and aim and shoot!" Lu Xun's order was completed in one go, and the twenty Yangzhou naval warships all opened their cannon doors, half sails were raised, and a bed crossbow emitted a cold light, waiting for the coalition forces of Jingzhou and Jiangdong that were getting closer and closer.
"Shoot!" Every ship began to shoot bed crossbow arrows like bed crossbow arrows didn't cost money.
The giant arrows of the bed crossbow poured out, that is terrifying, the new warship of the Yangzhou Navy has four gun doors on one side, each gun door has five bed crossbows, one side is twenty, two sides are forty, twenty warships are eight hundred bed crossbows, even if a bed crossbow shoots a wave of five bed crossbow giant arrows, this is also four thousand giant arrows. The Yangzhou Navy switched sides and shot. The Jingzhou and Jiangdong naval armies are simply miserable.
Soon. The former warships of the Jiangdong and Jingzhou naval armies became a hornet's nest. Hundreds of bed crossbows shot huge arrows from almost every warship, and everything on the deck was pierced. One of the more miserable ones was directly shot apart.
No matter what kind of sealed cabin you have, no matter what reinforcing thickness you have, it is all the same, and it is difficult to survive under this kind of arrow rain.
"Yang Fan retreated!" Lu Xun commanded his warships very calmly.
"General, look at the Jiangdong Navy warship over there, the one on it!" The adjutant general pointed to the Jiangdong Navy on the side and said to Lu Xun.
Lu Xun also looked at the adjutant general's hand, only to see black and thick things, iron chains? Lu Xun frowned. Looking at the Jingzhou Navy over there, it seems that the entire Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy are connected together! What does this Jiangdong Army want to do?
"You can change direction? Don't have to turn the bow around? The Yangzhou Navy chose to retreat, so Zhou Yu walked out of the cabin, he didn't immediately look at the homeopathic situation, but looked at the Yangzhou Navy where Yang Fan was about to leave, the warship did not turn around at all, but directly changed the direction of the oar.
The new warship of the Yangzhou Navy can also be called the Galen ship, he has several decks so that it is convenient to put the bed crossbow, and he also has a name called the ant ship or the centipede ship, because he can stick out a lot of long pulp from the warship. It is very suitable for use in inland rivers, once there is no river breeze. Just by sliding on this oar, hundreds of people slid together, the speed was very fast, and the speed of the sail was faster, and if the Galen boat wanted to distinguish the bow of the boat, it had to look at the collision wood. So he can just leave without turning around.
Sun Ce frowned and made a cold face, because the number of battle losses was counted, just now he was shot by the Yangzhou Navy like this, his Jiangdong Army lost thirty-four warships, and a few were still wounded, and those thirty-four warships were basically sunk, even if they were salvaged, they couldn't be repaired.
Thirty-four warships, this is nearly 10,000 horses, the Jingzhou Navy over there lost forty-one, and the two armies combined with more than 20,000 people are gone.
On the bow of Wen Ping's ship, Wen Ping's face was more gloomy than that of the Jiangdong Water Army, because no one told him that the Yangzhou Water Army would come out like this as soon as the war started, so Wen Ping's descendants were placed on the side road in order to reduce losses, but now it is okay, the border troops have been taken care of, and half of the more than 40 warships that have lost 10,000 troops are his descendants.
The newly arrived Jiangxia soldiers and horses escaped in the middle.
"Give the order to go down, pick up the iron rope on the side, and we will continue the pursuit!" Zhou Yu said to the herald below.
"Yes!" The herald soldiers clenched their fists and left, although the Jiangdong Naval Army and the Jingzhou Naval Army combined suffered heavy losses, but because of the Iron Chain River, as well as the order issued by Zhou Yu, let the side warships come forward to protect the middle flagship, so the losses are all the side warships, now just open the iron cable and let the damaged warships on the side road be separated.
Soon the damaged ships were separated, originally connected by iron cables, which had not yet sunk, but now as soon as they were released, they immediately sank, and a few more were lost.
Sun Ce couldn't bear to look at it, "Lord, I can't bear the child to trap the wolf, doesn't the loss of my army really represent the power of this new warship of the Yangzhou Navy Army?" As long as you get the new warship of the Yangzhou Navy, there is no rival on the Yangtze River, and the Jing Chu generation is still at your fingertips. Zhou Yu comforted Sun Ce on the side, if Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's plan succeeded, this battle could not only destroy the Yangzhou Navy but also be able to swallow the new warship of the Yangzhou Navy alone, then the Jingzhou Navy would really be finished, and they would not be able to get a new warship from Yangzhou, because Liu Mang, the king of Shu, the living company of the Yangzhou army, was missing in Jingzhou, and Liu Mang, the king of Shu, also gave Jingzhou Mu Liu a green hat, so Yangzhou and Jingzhou can only be mortal enemies.
In this way, only the Jiangdong Navy and the Yangzhou Army can have new warships, and the Yangzhou Navy has been wiped out in this battle, and it is impossible to become an army again without a three-year and five-year army, the reason why the Yangzhou Navy became an army so quickly last time is because Gan Ning brought over are the veterans of the Jiangxia Army, but this time it is different, even if Yangzhou people can build a new warship, they have to find someone to drive it.
Therefore, the overlord on the Yangtze River can only be the Jiangdong Naval Army.
was reminded by Zhou Yu like this, and suddenly Sun Ce's mentality was better.
"Pursue it in an all-round way, and take down the Yangzhou Navy for me." Sun Ce's eyes were full of greedy looks, more of a colossal battle intent, he Sun Ce had never suffered such a big loss.
The one who has the same idea as Sun Ce is Wenpin.
"Yes!" After kicking out the damaged warships that could no longer move, the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy set off again, hoisted their sails, and headed down the Yangtze River towards the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The Lujiang Water Village has been directly ignored by the Jingzhou and Jiangdong coalition forces. As long as the main force of the Yangzhou Navy is taken, this Yangzhou Navy Dazhai is a joke.
"Refreshing! Hahahaha! "Because of the river breeze. And because it's downstream. Therefore, the Yangzhou Navy soon arrived in the downstream area, and the speed of the warships made people overwhelmed by the scenery along the river.
Lu Xun's lieutenant suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, not only him, but the soldiers of the entire Yangzhou Navy all burst into laughter after another depressing victory, how could they not laugh, whoever saw 100,000 enemy troops pressing down on the city would be extremely nervous, because the pressure on you from the enemy was too great. If the Yangzhou Navy Fleet is compared to a boxer, and he is facing ten adult men, one person beats ten, or one person beats you, there is no pressure to have a ghost.
Even if the Yangzhou Navy warships are no matter how good the elite bed crossbow is, the number of people is there, and the competition in the era of cold weapons is people and horses. But they won. Immediately, this nervous look cleared him away.
"Huh!" Lu Xun also laughed, it is true that he Lu Xun is also extremely nervous, but now the result is to win, isn't it.
"I tell you, the Jiangdong army over there is counting from the north to the south. The third ship was sunk by my bed crossbow, "Won." Now that the enemy has been left behind, the soldiers of the Yangzhou Navy began to talk to each other.
"Cut, what is it if you shoot and sink one, Uncle Ben has shot and sunk two!"
"You just blow it, you, if Lao Li didn't finally help you shoot through the sealed cabin of the Jiangdong Navy warship, you can shoot and sink it," some people touted, and some people dismantled the stage, but in general, everyone was still happy.
"Hey, hey, what did you say to give us this time when you go back to the main guild?" With military exploits, there will naturally be rewards, and the Yangzhou Navy soldiers are discussing rewards.
"Last time, we went out with General Gan Ning to eliminate 30,000 Jiangdong and 30,000 coalition troops, and the lord rewarded us with five acres of land, a thousand dollars, this time I think we need at least four acres of land." The veteran said again.
"Four acres of land is enough, last time you wiped out 30,000 soldiers and horses, I see, this time there are more than that! At least six acres of land plus a thousand dollars. "This battle may not be enough, but with the previous station, Wenpin's station is really more than 30,000 battle merits.
Lu Xun smiled and looked at the soldiers below to discuss.
"General, do you think this Jiangdong little overlord Sun Ce will have a crooked mouth!" The deputy general on the side smiled at Lu Xun and said, this time there is such a big loss, Sun Ce is not angry to have a ghost.
"I don't know if it's crooked or not, but it must be ugly. And that Wen Ping, I see it going back like this to explain to his lord Liu Biao! "Jiangdong soldiers and horses have only lost more than 10,000, but the Jingzhou soldiers and horses plus the 8,000 people last time are more than 20,000, so the most unaffordable ones are the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou.
"Haha!" Saying this, everyone laughed again.
"Alright, let's all go down, and let each warship count the number of crossbow arrows on the bed of the warship." Lu Xun waved his hand to his subordinates and said.
"Yes!" The deputy general nodded, and soon a number of jΓΉ was in Lu Xun's hands, Lu Xun couldn't help frowning, because the number of giant arrows in the bed crossbows of each warship is not optimistic, just now it was really fierce, for example, Lu Xun's flagship, normally with three base bed crossbow arrows, that is, each bed crossbow is fifteen giant arrows, forty is six hundred, but just now that wave shot out two bases, and now there is one base left on the warship, and the other warships are generally like this, Some are only half the base.
"This giant arrow is not as good, what should I do?" The lieutenant general on the side also showed a sad face, the reason why their new warship was so powerful was because of the power of the giant arrow, but the one just now actually threw most of their combat power into it.
"Blame me!" Lu Xun shook his head, in the contact battle just now, he forgot to limit the number of projectiles of each warship, so that many warships overflowed damage, too. Because the enemy's army was overwhelming, all the soldiers were under pressure. Naturally, there will be a way to vent out. The shooting of this bed crossbow is one of them.
There are masters in this Jiangdong and Jingzhou soldiers and horses, they let the warships on both sides approach the middle, one is to protect the flagship and the other is to shrink into a mass to introduce the force area of the damage, so many of the bed crossbows on the Yangzhou Navy warships have overflowed damage, and some of the Jingzhou Navy warships that are about to sink or the Jiangdong Navy warships have been shot on the top of another round, just like whipping a dead man, it is happy, but this consumption is big.
"But it's okay! Enough. As long as you don't start a frontal war, you can hold on! Lu Xun comforted the lieutenant general.
"Huh? General, aren't we going to fight? The adjutant general said suspiciously, they just gave the enemy a good start in the first wave, and they should increase the results of the battle, why don't they fight?
"Hehe, if there are more than two bases in this bed crossbow, I will continue to fight, but forget it now!" Lu Xun shook his head, if the warship in his hand used up all the bed crossbow and giant arrows in his hand, then it would be really useless. This new ship was not designed to be used for broadside combat, as soon as it was approached by enemy ships. Then the Galen ship is really not as convenient as the Lou ship, with the number of the combined forces of the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy Army, in the end, the Yangzhou Navy can only be wiped out by the people's sea tactics.
Lu Xun knew what it meant to accept when he saw it, he had made such a record, and under the condition that the main force of the Yangzhou Navy Army did not have much attrition, he wiped out the enemy's 30,000 troops before and after, which was enough.
Lu Xun now plans to go down the river, he has two roads to go, cross Liyang and take Qu'a to Baima Lake, to Hongze Lake, and enter the Huai River, so that he can go to Shouchun Water Army Dazhai to station.
Another way is not to go to Baima Lake, but to go directly to the sea, go to the coast and go to Guangling, so that you can combine with the Ganning Navy in Guangling, and then replenish the bed crossbow and giant arrows in Guangling City, and the two fleets can be fought back again.
This is Lu Xun's idea. The remaining bed crossbow arrows on his warship were really just enough, and Lu Xun was afraid that they would be intercepted by the Jiangdong Navy along the way.
"General, General Gan Ning should be on his way to Liaodong now! It's useless for us to go! The lieutenant general on the side was puzzled.
Gan Ning went to Guangling for Liu Mang's big plan to enter the sea, so that Liu Mang could get the precious resource of war horses from Liaodong, and also for the Ganning Navy to explore the coast, if possible, find a landing place, so that Cao Cao can have one more killer weapon in the future, with the current scale of the Ganning Navy on this sea, there are really few opponents on the sea.
If Gan Ning has already gone to Liaodong, then Lu Xun will really go in vain, and you must know that there are many more dangers to go to Guangling than to go to Shouchun, as long as you go to Shouchun and enter Baima Lake, it can be said that Jingzhou and Jiangdong naval forces dare not pursue anymore, because this is the land of Yangzhou along the way.
But if you go to Guangling, you have to go through the waterway in charge of Jiangdong, before Ganning can go, it is still the honeymoon period of the Jiangdong Army and the Yangzhou Army, and it is a tacit understanding that neither side can offend anyone, but now it is different, and now that the war is going again, it may not be so refreshing to go to the hinterland of the Jiangdong Army.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Xun nodded, it is too dangerous to go to Guangling, it is better to go to Shouchun by Baima Lake, as long as the main force of the Yangzhou Navy is protected, he Lu Xun is the hero.
"Good! Let's go to Shouchun by taking Hakuba Lake! Lu Xun nodded, and ordered the deputy general, let the deputy general take the soldiers and horses to White Horse Lake.
The sails were raised, and the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy were long behind him, and it seemed that the Jiangdong and Jingzhou Coalition could only suffer such a dumb loss, but in fact, there were already people in front who were ready to wait for Lu Xun.
"Are you all ready?" In the Hengjiang Taiping generation a soldier and horse is being deployed here, of course, this soldier and horse is not used for war, but for coolies, yes, it is used to do coolies They dug out a big pit, put down an iron chain in the big pit to fix it with a jack pendant, and then cover the soil.
"Don't worry, Brother Lu, it will definitely be all done before the enemy arrives!" The lieutenant general on the side said to Lu Meng. This lieutenant general is none other than Ling Cao, the follower who has been following behind Lu Meng.
"Don't miss the slightest!" Lu Meng carefully instructed Ling Chao, he Lu Meng and Ling Chao can be said to be guilty of guilt, last time he led troops to help Qin Feng in Linhuai. I thought it was a battle to be won. Even if you can't win, at least you can stalemate with the Yangzhou army. But who knows, that battle was lost again, not only lost, but also lost the 20,000 elites given by the lord, and he Lu Meng and Ling Chao also lost the power of the second prince Sun Zi. Before the expedition, the lord Sun Ce had confessed that even if the whole army was destroyed, the safety of the second prince Sun Quan would be preserved, but now the soldiers and horses are lost, and the second son is gone.
Fortunately, this Yangzhou is greedy for money. As long as the money, if the Yangzhou army gave him the second prince Sun Quan in a fit of anger, then he Lu Meng and Ling Chao would definitely be dragged out by Sun Ce and beheaded to show the public.
Jiangdong taught the ransom, and Sun Quan returned to Jiangdong safely, but this attitude has been changing since he came back, and Sun Quan's original brotherly love for Sun Ce has faded, and he even has feelings of disgust for Sun Ce. gradually alienated Sun Ce, the eldest brother. It made Sun Ce even more annoyed.
And Lu Meng and Ling Chao are guilty of crimes, this time it was the governor Zhou Yu who recommended Lu Meng and Ling Chao to command this soldier and horse on the river surface of this Hengjiang and Taiping generation, on both sides of the Yangtze River, with a huge iron cable to link him. Blockading the entire river to him, Lu Meng and Ling Chao had been doing it for several days. They had 5,000 foot soldiers under their command and 30,000 auxiliary peasants working here day and night.
On the entire surface of the Yangtze River, dozens of iron cables were finally wound horizontally and vertically for him, locking him up all the rivers of the Hengjiang River and the Taiping generation.
"Huh?" Lu Xun stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the Yangtze River.
"If the general mentions the medical officer girl like this, maybe the military advisor will propose to the general!" Knowing that the Jiangdong Navy and the Jingzhou Navy behind him could not be pursued, the deputy general couldn't help but joke about Lu Xun.
It's no secret that Lu Xun likes that Shang Medical Officer, you must know that Lu Xun was in a coma, but that Shang Medical Officer took care of Lu Xun, Lu Xun was in a coma and grabbed someone's hand to prevent people from leaving, in order not to wake up Lu Xun, this Shang girl paid him a night in Lu Xun's room, and when she got up in the morning, this Shang girl was lying on Lu Xun's chest.
"Miss Shang?" Lu Xun's eyes couldn't help but appear that beautiful look, and his face couldn't help but turn red, although Lu Xun was about to reach the age of a weak crown, he hadn't married a wife yet, because of the dilapidated Lu family, Lu Xun had to think about the future of the Lu family at a young age, where would he have time to take care of his children.
Shaking his head, Lu Xun shook off the shadow of the wonderful person in his mind, he turned to the deputy general and said, "Have you noticed that something is wrong?" Lu Xun's intuition was very strange when he told Lu Xun something.
"Something is wrong? No? Could it be that there is an ambush? No way? "The adjutant general is also very strange, what's wrong, the ambush should also be on land, this ambush in the water? You must know that the main force of the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy has long been left behind by the Yangzhou Navy Army, and the other ambush soldiers, it's good that he doesn't come, if he comes, the Yangzhou Navy will kill and bury it, and give credit to the Yangzhou Navy in vain.
"General, you won't be too worried, there are no other ships on the surface of the Yangtze River except our Yangzhou Navy warship!" The adjutant general looked at his main general suspiciously, this is already a triumphant return, so there is no need to be so nervous.
"Ships? Right! It's the boat! The deputy general didn't mention it, but fortunately, it was already proposed, and Lu Xun suddenly shouted.
"Ships, what ships? Is there an enemy ship? Where is it? Where is it? β
"General Yang, don't you feel that the water on the Yangtze River is too quiet! There is not a single boat on the entire Yangtze River! Lu Xun asked the question raised by the adjutant general.
"It may be that this merchant ship news spirit informed that there will be a big battle on the surface of the Yangtze River in the next few days, so it is all in the port!" The deputy general explained to Lu Xun that the current businessmen are basically supported by the scholars, and their news is naturally very well-informed.
"No, no! ~" Lu Xun shook his head, "If the merchant ship can know the news in advance, then the fishing boat?" Lu Xun said to the deputy general, those merchant ships may be well-informed and can know in advance that there is a war on the surface of the Yangtze River, but what about those fishing boats? Those fishing domains can't be well-informed, if they don't fish for a day, they will be hungry for a day, and there is no refrigerator or anything like that at this time, so the fish that are caught are either eaten or sold, and it is difficult to preserve. As for pickling, it was made by wealthy families. The price of salt is more expensive than fish.
But the entire surface of the Yangtze River, they drove all the way. Not only did there be no merchant ships, but there was not even a single fishing boat, which made Lu Xun hesitate.
"yes!" The deputy general nodded, and was reminded by Lu Xun, he also found that they were too quiet along the way, so quiet that there was not a single boat in sight on the huge Yangtze River.
"General, what is this situation?" The deputy general looked at Lu Xun and hoped that Lu Xun could give an answer, but he was disappointed, and Lu Xun also shook his head......
Just when the two were still thinking. There was a bang, and the whole ship suddenly shook.
"What's wrong, did you hit the rocks?" This collision was not small, and the entire warship swayed with it. Lu Xun fortunately grabbed a handrail on the side so that he didn't fall, and the deputy general didn't have such good luck, he was thrown out directly, his face hit the ground, and there was blood on his face all of a sudden.
In pain, the lieutenant shouted angrily, "That's how you sailed!" Can't you see the reef? β
"Not a reef!" Lu Xun stopped the lieutenant from yelling.
"It's not a reef, what is it?" The adjutant general asked suspiciously.
"Report, report, report General. No, not the reef! Be. It's chains," a messenger from there soon arrived.
"Chains? Are you saying that there are iron chains above the surface of the Yangtze River? β
"Yes General!" The herald over there nodded.
'How is that possible! How can there be iron chains on the surface of the Yangtze River? Could it be that there are still people who block the Yangtze River? The lieutenant yelled.
'Kill, kill, kill!' "Suddenly, from both sides of the Yangtze River, shouts and killings sounded all day long, and the collision of human figures made people's hearts palpitate.
"What's going on, what's going on!" Doubts were heard from all the ships.
"Don't panic when you go down!" Lu Xun ordered his subordinates that these shouts of killing came from both sides of the Yangtze River, and the footsteps on land were helpless.
"This must have been done by the Jiangdong Army!" The deputy general gritted his teeth and said that the two sides of the strait had already seen the names of Jiangdong Lu and Jiang Dongling.
With iron chains? And does it make sense to use foot soldiers as ambushes? The bows and arrows that came from the shore could not hurt the Yangzhou Navy at all, on the contrary, the captains on several warships were angry and let the bed crossbows on the ships throw a wave of huge arrows, which made the Jiangdong infantry on both sides of the river scream.
"Not good!" Lu Xun's eyes widened suddenly, these foot soldiers were not ambushes at all, they were just to delay them, these chains intercepted the Yangtze River, just to stop them. Don't let them cross the Yangtze River to Baima Lake.
This can explain why Lu Xun couldn't see any ships on the Yangtze River before, these ships are not well-informed, but with these iron cables on the surface of the Yangtze River, how can he get by.
The only explanation for blocking them here is that they can't get by, and behind the Yangzhou Navy is the combined forces of Jingzhou and Jiangdong Navy. Once stopped and blocked here, the consequences were simply unimaginable, and the flexibility of the new warship was directly wiped out.
"Rush over!" Lu Xun's face turned cold, and he shouted loudly, he must rush out of this water, if he can't get out, then there is only a dead end, he doesn't think that his 10,000 soldiers and horses can fight against the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Jiangdong and Jingzhou coalition forces behind him, even if they lose a wave, it is several times his own.
"Yes!" Lu Xun's order passed down, and all the Yangzhou warships, full of sails, rushed towards the iron cable above the surface of the Yangtze River with increased force.
"Bang bang bang!" Under the impact of the twenty warships, the iron chains were broken.
"Brother Lu!" Ling Chao watched on the shore that the iron chains that he had worked so hard to put down were broken by the Yangzhou Navy warship, and he felt very uncomfortable, he was really afraid that this Yangzhou Navy would really break through the Iron Chain River and leave directly.
"Don't worry!" Lu Meng patted Ling Chao's shoulder to express comfort, in fact, he Lu Meng was also nervous, he was also afraid that the Yangzhou Navy would rush over, so the plan of the lord and the governor would be in vain.
"Bang bang bang!" After breaking five or six iron chains one after another, the Yangzhou naval warship finally failed.
"Report, report, report general, ahead, ahead, can't rush!" The herald screamed breathlessly.
"What's going on?" Lu Xun and the vice admiral lay on the bow of the ship and took out the binoculars, only to see that because of the impact of these iron chains, the hulls of several warships have been injured, and even one warship was inlaid horizontally by the iron chain.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The sound of war drums came from behind the Yangzhou naval army, and at the end of the water, one after another building ships came on the waves, and they were hanging the flags of Jingzhou and Jiangdong. (To be continued......)
