Wei Wen stayed five hundred steps away, but he still felt the same shock as Zhuge Zhi, his face turned blue, and he regretted it in his heart. He knew he was underestimating the enemy, and that it would be an irreparable mistake.

Now, the other party has penetrated Zhuge Zhi's defense line and killed him directly. Obviously, the other party did not take Zhuge Zhi and a thousand people in his eyes at all, and their goal was very clear, that is, to eat themselves and the entire three thousand sailors.

Although the number of warships on the other side is not as large as their own, with these two giant ships, they already have an absolute advantage.

He can't escape if he wants to now, the other party's speed is faster than him, and if he doesn't wait to return to the shore, he will be caught up by the other party. What's more, he is the main general, if he escapes from the battle, even if he goes back alive, it is better to live than to die.

"Hu Jun, you get on the boat and take shelter for a while." Wei Wen said coldly: "I want to try the quality of the Jiaozhou Sailor again, and when Hu Jun reports to the king in the future, he will have something to say." ”

Hu Zong frowned, didn't say anything, took two entourages, and quickly transferred to the boat. After Hu Zong sat down, Wei Wen waved his hand, and the boat planted Hu Zong and the others and quickly rowed westward.

As soon as he left, Wei Wen ordered Lou Chuan to speed up and turn. After seeing Zhuge Zhi's encounter, Wei Wen knew very well that he had no chance of winning if he collided head-on, and now he only hoped that after avoiding this giant beast, before it turned around, he would use his size to bully the medium-sized warship that followed behind the giant beast.

Avoid the facts, hit its weakness, cut off its wings, and then come to fight this giant beast, even if Zuihou is completely annihilated. It is also necessary to achieve some results and save a little face for the Wu army's sailors.

The water division has always been the strength of the Wu army, and if the water division is completely defeated by the Shu Han army, the psychological blow to Wu may be greater than the blow on the battlefield. Wei Wen was well aware of the consequences.

Wei Wen's reaction was very timely, he preemptively turned and avoided the direction of the giant ship, judging from the position and speed of both sides, he at least would not have direct contact with the giant ship.

It's just that he still can't completely avoid the dense rain of arrows on the giant ship.

Three hundred paces away, Zhou Yin ordered to start shooting intensively. The goal is clear. It's Wei Wen's building boat. He noticed that Wei Wen was turning, and while giving the order to shoot, he ordered the crossbowmen to turn the shooting table and adjust the direction. stared closely at Wei Wen's building boat. Each ballista was fixed to the shooting table. The shooting table can be rotated. Three hundred and sixty degree shooting.

Wei Wen's ship was unilaterally ravaged by a rain of arrows. Although there were crossbowmen upstairs on his floor, the range was not as far as that of the ballista, nor was it as dense as the ballista. In order to avoid being hit by the giant ship, he could only carefully keep a distance of about 100 paces, so that his crossbowmen could barely use their role, and could only watch the giant ship continue to rain arrows at them.

"Slide, steer!" Zhou Yin gave a new order.

As a series of orders moved below the cabin, the giant ship began to turn, and the Wu warships that were on his course hurriedly turned. Even the building ship can't collide with this giant ship, and those small and medium-sized warships have no confidence, so they can only stay away.

Even though Wu Jun was proficient in boating, two warships failed to escape doom and were knocked over by huge ships. The soldiers of the Wu army fell into the water, splashed in the water, and shouted for help. The giant ship turned a deaf ear, circled a big circle, drew a beautiful arc, turned the bow of the ship five hundred steps on the west side of the battlefield, and watched the battlefield with fierce eyes, cutting off the retreat of Wu's naval division.

At this moment, Zhuge Zhi and Wei Wen had already commanded the building ship to engage the medium-sized warship following behind the giant ship. In the face of these warships, their building ships can finally get rid of the embarrassment of facing giant ships, and they can use their size to rampage and regain the feeling of being a little strong.

Unfortunately, this feeling has been greatly reduced.

Although those warships do not have the size of giant ships, they have the speed that giant ships cannot achieve, compared to Zhuge Zhi and Wei Wen's building ships, they are like a nimble shark, running back and forth, while avoiding being hit by the bulky building ships, while chasing those Wu army warships that are the same size as themselves, but the speed is much worse, and the only ones who can chase them are those Mengchong fighting ships that are good at speed.

The building ships were empty, but they couldn't catch up with these warships, but they messed up their battle formations.

As Fei Yi said to Sun Quan, the Jiaozhou Navy Division was dominated by pirates, and most of the ten soldiers on the two ships were fishermen from Jiaozhou, who had land in Jiaozhou and were recruited according to the military service system, while most of the soldiers on those medium-sized warships were pirates who were forced or lured in, and they were used to fighting at sea, and this flexible medium-sized warship was right for their appetite.

In the South China Sea, piracy is very rampant, both professional and part-time pirates, all of whom make a living by robbing merchant ships to and from Jiaozhou. Their life was originally good, after Wei Ba arrived in Jiaozhou, vigorously developed maritime trade, their source of customers became more and more abundant, and they could earn a lot of money when they went to sea at will, in exchange for half a year and a year of leisure.

When the Hepu shipyard started normal production, their good days came to an end. Wei Ba formed a sailor division, cleared pirates everywhere, and sent sailors to escort large caravans, so that they watched the full cargo ships salivate but did not dare to come forward. After a few months of this kind of day, Wei Ba began to recruit sailors, and many pirates decided to follow the strong according to the pirates' thinking habits, so they became Jiaozhou sailors.

They didn't want to take refuge in Wei Ba, but they wanted to form a group to rob and not confront Wei Ba head-on. Wei Ba did not let them down, and soon arranged for them to come to Wu County to find a life. For the pirates, Wu County, as the former capital of Wu State, is of course a piece of fat.

If you want to eat meat, you have to work hard first, so now they are all brave, one by one, more than 4,000 pirates are surrounding the 3,000 Wu army sailors, and they are in full swing. The waves are rolling on the sea, the arrows are rushing, and from time to time someone jumps over the boat, and the hand-to-hand combat is hand-to-hand, killing flesh and blood, and you are alive and dead.

When the battle situation began to stalemate, the two giant ships that had been docked at both ends of the battlefield began to exert their strength again, and went straight into the battlefield, directly taking Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi's building ship.

Wei Wen commanded the soldiers of the Wu army to fight back, their forces were superior, and the ships were at a disadvantage, and this battle was very hard. If it weren't for the fact that the Wu army was well trained, far surpassed this group of pirates in terms of cooperation, supported each other, and could barely hold the position, I am afraid that it would have been torn to pieces by this group of pirates long ago. Despite their best efforts, the battle situation was still not optimistic, and when the two giant ships entered the battlefield again, Wei Wen finally couldn't support it.

He didn't care about commanding the battle, and his first task was to command the building ship to avoid the collision of the giant ship. When his ship wanted to ram other ships, he was limited by speed and powerless, but when facing this giant ship bigger than him, he still couldn't find the slightest sense of gaining the upper hand. Wei Wen felt very aggrieved and deeply felt that he was being controlled by others.

This time, Zhou Yin did not collide with Wei Wen head-on, but chased after Wei Wen tightly, and shot Wei Wen embarrassed with bursts of dense arrow rain and suffered heavy losses. Pursued by the giant ship, Wei Wen could no longer care about commanding the Wu army to fight, so he could only flee in panic. However, his speed was not as good as that of the giant ship, and his flexibility did not have any advantage, and he didn't escape for long before he was caught up by Zhou Yin.

The two ships are linked to each other, the difference in the volume of the two sides makes Wei Wen's building ship powerless to fight back, by the continuous impact of the giant ship, squeezed back and forth, the hull shook up significantly, like a flat boat in the raging waves, even if the Wu army soldiers worked well, they could not maintain balance, they rolled over on the shaking building boat, from time to time someone fell into the sea, the sound of plopping was endless, the screams on the building boat, even Wei Wen himself could not stand on his body, he could only hide in the flying house, rolling in the cabin.

The building ship was controlled, and the Wu army completely lost its command and could no longer support it. Within half an hour, the Wu army began to surrender.

Two hours later, calm was restored to the sea, and the 3,000 Wu army and sailors were all wiped out.

Hu Zong stood on the shore, looking at the Jiaozhou sailors who had re-established themselves on the sea, and felt a huge pain in his palms. He spread out his hands, looked at the nail prints in his palms, turned over and waited for the side to jump into the carriage, without saying a word.

The driver seemed to understand Hu Zong's thoughts, and with a slight flick of the horse's reins, two healthy horses pulled the carriage and galloped away in the direction of Guangling.

……

"The three thousand sailors were wiped out?" Sun Shao, the general of the expedition to the north, was taken aback, and his face turned pale.

Hu Zong nodded with a heavy heart, and while rubbing his legs, he described the water battle scene he saw with his own eyes. Sun Shao listened carefully, his face was red and white.

The three thousand sailors were wiped out by Wei Ba's sailors in less than two hours, and this result was too shocking. That's right, Fei Yi did say that Wei Ba sent 10,000 sailors, but who can guarantee that this is true and not Wei Ba's threatening words? The soldiers are not tired of deceit, there are too many such exaggerated situations, and when Cao Cao was preparing to conquer Jiangdong, he also said that there were 800,000 troops.

Wei Wen sent people to reconnoitre, the other side only has two large building ships, about forty or fifty medium-sized warships, there are no small warships, Wei Wen estimates that the opponent's strength is at most five or six thousand, so he dares to fight. Now it seems that Wei Wen seriously underestimated the strength of the other party, and according to this result, it is entirely possible that the other party is a real ten thousand people.

"What now?" Sun Shao looked at Hu Zong with a complicated mood: "This news should be reported to the king as soon as possible, today is September 28, and time is running out." ”

Hu Zong nodded: "I want to ask the general to send the news back to Wuchang with a beacon fire and give the king the news as soon as possible." ”

Sun Shao didn't speak, turned around and went to arrange. When the national capital was still in Wu County, in order to transmit the war situation in Wuchang as soon as possible, a beacon tower was built between Wuchang and Wu County, and the news could be transmitted from Wuchang to Wu County overnight. After Sun Quan built the capital in Wuchang, these beacon towers were not abandoned and have been well maintained, but I didn't expect them to be used today.

A moment later, a puff of green smoke shot into the sky.

At the same time, a knight jumped on his horse and galloped westward...... (To be continued......)
