304 Unexpected ambush
"Soldiers, don't fight, rush ashore with me!" Cai Mao was in a hurry, commanding the warship to desperately attack Han Dang and Huang Gai opposite, as long as they can land on the shore, the soldiers can avoid seasickness, and the combat effectiveness can be greatly improved, and at that time, relying on the advantage of numbers, Zhou Yu will also be captured alive!
Hey, I can't help but say that Cai Mao took it for granted, Han Dang and Huang Gai were in danger, and commanded the soldiers to continue to release arrows, because they were close and aimed accurately, a large number of Cai Mao's soldiers fell into the water with arrows, and the river was bloody.
Cai Mao was almost crazy, and gave a death order, he must rush ashore, and whoever retreats will kill him! After numerous casualties, Han Dang and Huang Gai's warships finally quickly withdrew downstream along the coast.
Cai Mao breathed a sigh of relief and commanded the big ship to land quickly, but when Cai Mao's army had just approached the shore, and before he had time to find Zhou Yu's shadow, he only heard a dense drum sound, and on the hillside not far from the shore, another team suddenly appeared, with more than 10,000 people, it was the army of Tai Shici and Lu Meng.
While approaching the riverbank, these Jiangdong soldiers took out their longbows, put long arrows on them, and began to shoot wildly at Cai Mao's army from afar, and suddenly, an overwhelming rain of arrows hit them.
The soldiers who had just broken away from the big ship and wanted to land on the shore were killed by arrows, and in less than half an hour, Cai Mao lost nearly 30,000 people, and the corpses were piled up on the riverbank.
Seeing that he couldn't go ashore at all, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai led the army upstream to overturn the warships one after another, and the soldiers fell into the water countless times, and they were about to attack closely, Cai Mao could only order the troops to be withdrawn, and the warships retreated back like a low tide.
"The governor won another game, and he really knows the art of war, and he can't shine as well!" On the viewing platform, Zhuge Liang gave up again.
"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Mr. Kong Ming is just humble, it is better to have another game!" Zhou Yu, who won the chess game again, was full of ambition and politeness, but what he wanted in his heart was to win three games in a row and frustrate Zhuge Liang's spirit.
The two began to set up a chess formation again, you advance and I retreat, I defend you and attack, and the battle is very happy, and no one cares about the battle below.
Besides, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai saw Cai Mao's army retreating, and they were ecstatic in their hearts, and immediately ordered to speed up the speed of the warship and turn around to intercept Cai Mao.
Cai Mao's warship seemed to be not as fast as Jiang Qin Zhoutai's iron boat for some reason, and soon, Jiang Qin Zhoutai was intercepted in the middle of the river to block Cai Mao's retreat.
At this time, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, who had not been playing chess for a long time, had a dramatic change in this game of chess, Zhuge Liang divided five by two, and ate Zhou Yu's chess pieces cleanly, and soon the winner was already divided, only to hear Zhuge Liang smile and say: "Kong Ming won a small game, concede." ”
"Mr. Kong Ming is deeply hidden, he must have not done his best in the first two games, and this game of chess Gongjin is convinced, it is really wonderful!" Zhou Yu rubbed his chin shell, recalling Zhuge Liang's tricks just now, and admired it from the bottom of his heart.
"Kong Ming is not good at him, but most of the governors are concerned about the war, but I didn't expect that there were ambushes here, otherwise Kong Ming would not be able to win." Zhuge Liang pointed to a position on the chessboard and glanced at Zhou Yu meaningfully.
Zhou Yu thought about it carefully, his face turned white, he had already heard the mystery from Zhuge Liang's words, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Kong Ming is superb in chess, ask for advice another day." ”
Zhou Yu hurriedly got up to watch the military situation, and even turned the chessboard over without noticing. Looking at it, as soon as he saw Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai in the middle of the river, Zhou Yu's expression suddenly froze.
"Quickly sound the gong and withdraw the troops! Collect the troops! Zhou Yu anxiously commanded.
The standard-bearer hurriedly waved the small flag, and a rapid gong sounded below, but it was too late, only to see that on the other side of the river, Zhang Yun led hundreds of warships, broke through the wind and rushed to meet Cai Mao's army, and the two armies had trapped Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai in it.
Zhou Yu was shocked, secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly ordered, ordering Ling Tong Pan Zhang below to join forces with Han Dang and Huang Gai, and rush to the river to rescue.
A large number of warships went up the river and went straight to Cai Mao's army, Cai Mao didn't care, adding new hatred to old hatred, just ordered the warships to frantically attack Jiang Qin Zhoutai's warships in the river.
From both sides, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai finally couldn't resist it, and the losses were innumerable, and they desperately rushed downstream.
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun finally joined forces, but they didn't want to fight, and they didn't continue to chase after them, but continued to retreat to the rear, and the speed of retreat was very fast.
Zhou Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Cao Bing retreated, if he pursued with victory, he would definitely lose his troops and generals, God really helped me. However, something that he didn't expect at all suddenly happened, and on the other side of the river, there was a burst of fire.
"Where is the fire ahead?" Zhou Yu hurriedly asked the person next to him.
"Returning to the Metropolitan Governor, it should be Cai Mao Zhang Yun's camp!"
What the?! Cai Mao Zhang Yun's nest was actually burned? No wonder Cai Mao was in such a hurry to rush back. It was Liu Qi's team, who was secretly ambushed, taking advantage of Zhang Yun's dispatch of troops to rescue Cai Mao, and the rear was empty, so they attacked Cai Mao's camp, swept away the grain and grass, and set a fire to it.
Seeing this scene, Cai Mao was so angry that she screamed, thinking in her heart, the fire was soaring, even if she put on her wings and flew over, it would be useless. Anyway, the grain and grass are gone, and the camp is almost burned, so it is better to kill more Jiangdong soldiers, which is not a loss, and it is good to explain to Cao Cao after going back, so he immediately ordered to continue to pursue the Jiangdong army downstream.
Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai just wiped the sweat from their heads, and when they looked back, they saw Cai Mao's army chasing after them again, so they could only desperately move closer to Huang Gai and the others.
After losing a lot of troops, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai finally joined forces with Ling Tong, Pan Zhang, Han Dang, and Huang Gai's teams, and the three forces fought and retreated, and after losing some soldiers and horses, they finally returned to the shore and saved their lives.
Considering that there were bows and arrows blocking the riverbank, Cai Mao also broke off the idea of continuing to land, and went down the river to find another place to stay.
It's just that Cai Mao never expected that when he led the army that lost nearly half of it and passed through Fankou in despair, he was suddenly intercepted by the naval army led by Guan Yu, and it was another big battle.
The defeated army is not brave, Cai Mao is not defeated by Guan Yu at all, and finally escaped in a dead battle, the 100,000 army originally fought with Jiangdong just now, there were only 50,000 left, and 20,000 people were lost in this battle, but in the end there were less than 30,000 people left, and half of the warship was also taken by Guan Yu.
The battle of Sanjiangkou ended, ending with Jiangdong's victory and Cai Mao's fiasco, and then, Zhou Yu counted the men, but he was not happy at all, and his heart ached, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai lost half of the men and horses in this battle, nearly 5,000 people, and the rest of the team also lost, adding up to more than 8,000.
