Chapter 674: The Water War Ends

The fog comes and goes faster, without any regularity. In a short period of time, the weather cleared up again.

Zhou Yu reacted quickly and immediately began to count, the battleship was only seventy percent new, but fortunately, the bows and arrows and stones were still there, and they were not consumed much. It's just that the combat effectiveness is doubtful, except for the sailors, there are only more than 100 people who can fight, which is not enough for a medium-sized building ship at all.

"Only by gathering your own warships as soon as possible, otherwise once you encounter the enemy, even if it is just a small building ship, it will be a mortal threat." Zhou Yu thought to himself, identified the direction, and drove towards a place in his memory.

Zhangdu Lake is so large that even if thousands of ships are scattered in it, it will not cause anything unusual. The moment the fog lifted, there was not a single ship in sight.

But if a person is unlucky, no matter how small the probability is, it can be encountered. The good fortune of not encountering the enemy in the previous days seemed to have run out, and after walking for a while, an enemy ship slowly appeared in front of it, which was a fighting ship of the Jiangxia Navy.

It's too late to evade, they are understaffed, and there are medium-sized building ships under them, which are obviously not as fast as fighting ships. And at this time, there must be no evasion. Medium-sized building ships avoid fighting ships, and anyone can see that it is inappropriate, let alone avoid. What's more, Zhou Yu now has to rendezvous with the battleship under his command as soon as possible, and there is not so much time.

When they meet on a narrow road, they fight for courage, and the 500-person fighting ship is not enough for Zhou Yu to avoid.

In the time of half a pillar of incense, the two sides fought one after another. It's not that Zhou Yu didn't want to sink the fighting ship, but in order to reduce the burden, the stones on the battleship had already been thrown into the water.

For another half an hour, the Jiangxia army fighting ships were silent, and there were dozens of more wounded on Zhou Yu's battleship, and Zhou Tai, who was still injured, was tired again.

However, after the battle, he was just starting to find that there were enemy warships in front of him.

This time it's a small building ship.

The bad luck makes people speechless, including Zhou Yu and Liu Ye, everyone is ready to fight to the death.

But at this moment, another battleship appeared in front of the left, and quickly approached a fighting ship from Jiangdong.

The surprise came so suddenly, it instantly ignited the fighting spirit.

The fighting ship is not big, and there are not many 500 people, but if it is to meet Zhou Yu, a small building ship with a full fleet is not a problem.

In the absence of external factors, the outcome is already predestined. Not to mention that during the battle, another fighting ship and a small building ship rushed to support.

It can be seen from this that in the fog for several days, the Jiangdong Navy at least did not suffer too much, otherwise it would be impossible to find its own coach in such a short time.

When a large number of soldiers boarded his ship, Zhou Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally left after several days of fear since the fog fell. What we need to do now is to gather warships as soon as possible, find the main force of the Jiangxia Navy, and then annihilate it.

Zhou Yu's hunch was not wrong, when he returned to a previously scheduled assembly point, there were already many warships gathered here, and many warships had been sent out to find other warships. Before Zhou Yu returned, the principal here was Jiang Qin.

Luck is inaccurate, Zhou Yu and Xu Changjie's warships have all encountered enemies, and they have been bullied by more than they have, of course, there are other warships that also have this situation, but there are no more warships like them who can be killed alive and dead.

There are also people who have been safe all the way and have never encountered a strong enemy, such as Jiang Qin, who only inadvertently overturned a few small boats at the beginning, and never encountered an enemy ship again, and waited until the fog dispersed. That's why he was able to collect the battleship in time and send people to find Zhou Yu.

There is also the fact that their own warships met and joined forces to sink the Jiangxia naval warships, not only some, but also quite a few.

Of course, the current Zhou Yu and others don't know. As soon as he returned, Zhou Yu would send most of his men out to find the scattered warships under his command.

After waiting for a day, there were 17 medium-sized building ships, nearly 100 small building ships and some fighting ships, Zhou Yu did not wait any longer, and when the patrol ship that went to inquire about the news of the Jiangxia army came back, he immediately sent troops.

At this time, he realized that in the same day, there were only 5 medium-sized building ships gathered around Huang Zu's large building ship, and Huang Zu's location was not too far away from him. If you don't take this opportunity to take down the Jiangxia Naval Army, when will you wait?

……

When the patrol warship transmitted the news of the Jiangdong naval army's large-scale attack to Huang Zu, it was impossible for Huang Zu to avoid it without fighting.

As a veteran on the battlefield, Huang Zu may not be strategic, but he definitely has more experience than Zhou Yu. In the foggy days, he naturally lost contact with his subordinates. But as the only large building ship on the battlefield, Huang Zu had enough confidence, and never thought of avoiding anything, but went on a rampage all the way, and I don't know how many small warships were affected and destroyed. There are Jiangdong's, Jiangxia's are also not lacking, and even a medium-sized building ship in Jiangdong was easily solved.

After the dense fog cleared, Huang Zu naturally understood that if he encountered a large number of enemies, he would easily be besieged, so he immediately sent people to find his warship and gather back to defend.

But the problem is that Jiangxia's warships lost far more than Jiangdong in a few days, and some of them took the initiative to abandon the ships, and the navy was not an infantry army, and it was impossible to come in a hurry, so Huang Zu waited for a day until he found that the Jiangdong navy was coming, and only five medium-sized building ships were gathered around.

The gap is really a bit big, and even if there will be warships gathered, it will not change the situation in a short time.

Since he couldn't escape, Huang Zu could only fight. Soon, Jiangxia's fleet centered on Huang Zu's large building ships, began to arrange formations, and chose a battlefield that was favorable to him.

War also broke out soon, and hundreds of warships fought on the water in a radius of more than ten miles.

Throwing stones is basically useless, except for Huang Zu's large building ship, which can occasionally send out stones, and long-range attacks are left with arrows. With Zhou Yu's command, he naturally pressed Huang Zu to fight.

The battle on the periphery quickly gained the upper hand, but the more critical it became, the more difficult it became.

Without catapults, medium-sized building ships would not be easy to attack, and could only engage in broadside battles. Especially when the battleships are mixed together to practice arrows and lose their effectiveness, the big battle is even more tragic.

Breaking through the desperate interception, when Huang Zu's large building ship was killed, Zhou Yu only had 5 medium-sized building ships and some small boats left, and began to besiege Huang Zu.

The lack of stone-throwing and the huge difference in the battleships made the battle very difficult, not to mention anything else, it was not easy to climb onto Huang Zu's battleship for a broadside battle. Not to mention that Huang Zu's battleship never stopped moving, relying on its huge size to force the Jiangdong battleship to not get close easily.

As a last resort, Zhou Yu could only shoot out the hook lock in the turbulent waves, forcibly lean his medium-sized building ship up, and finally forced Huang Zu's battleship to stop. With several times the enemy's losses, in exchange for the opportunity to fight head-on.

Huang Zu has never been a weakling, especially when he is desperate, he is even more fierce, in the face of a powerful enemy, he relies on the battleship to defend, and constantly kills the attacking Jiangdong naval army.

Huang Zu was surrounded, which caused chaos on the battlefield even more, especially the warships of Jiangxia, fighting desperately and bloodily, moving closer to Huang Zu's location, narrowing the scope of the battlefield by a large area, and even allowing them to occupy an area and fight together with Huang Zu.

And further out, there are still warships coming. There are Jiangxia battleships, and more Jiangdong battleships.

Xu Changjie changed to a fighting ship and rushed over, and Lu Meng also came with a dilapidated medium-sized building ship...... The situation is further tilted in favor of Jiangdong.

The battle continued into the night, and both sides were exhausted, after all, they had not rested much after the fog had cleared before they threw themselves into the battle. Huang Zu, who knew that he could not be spared, launched a counterattack, ordered his own ship to be scuttled, changed to a small building ship, and broke through.

The Jiangxia Navy can be said to be gone.
