Chapter 10: Water Wars
"Lord, Cao Cao's navy is calling for battle outside." On this day, when Zhuo Ao was patrolling the water village, he suddenly heard the gongs and drums outside shaking the sky, and Zhou Tai strode over and said to Zhuo Ao.
"Who will the Lord be?" Zhuo Ao was a little surprised, Cao Cao had just set up the water village, and he came to call for the battle, so he was too anxious.
"Admiral forbidden." Zhou Taidao.
"Yu Ban?" Zhuo Ao turned his head and looked at Zhou Tai, and after getting a definite answer, he couldn't help but sneer: "Just send someone out and teach him how to have a water fight." ”
If Cai Mao and Zhang Yun came, and the two of them had commanded the Jingzhou Navy for many years, Zhuo Ao would be more careful, but Yu Ban ran to drown on the river, then Zhuo Ao didn't even have the interest to watch, not that Yu Ban was not as good as Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, if they fought on the ground, ten Cai Mao and ten Zhang Yun tied together would not be enough to ban one fight, but put Yu Ban in the water to fight, that is, to make the rabbit run into the water to race with the tortoise, and he couldn't find it at ease.
"Yes, the last general will personally capture him!" Zhou Tai agreed, said goodbye to Zhuo Ao, and almost rushed to the gate of the water village.
Outside the water village, Yu Ban took ten bucket ships outside, looked at the Jiangdong water village from afar, stepped on the pedal hard, felt the slight sway of the hull and couldn't help but smile proudly, this bucket ship is four zhang long, and the width is also one zhang, standing on it, such as walking on the ground, there is such a warship, even if I am not good at water warfare, but I will definitely be able to fight water warfare.
When he was full of pride and was about to let the Jiangdong rats see their own skills, suddenly, they saw the Jiangdong Water Village open widely, and dozens of small boats that could only accommodate three people poured out of the water village, one holding a shield and two rowing. The speed is fast, but this kind of small boat. In front of the battleship, it is like a baby standing in front of an adult.
Yu Ban couldn't help laughing: "It is said that the Jiangdong Navy is unparalleled, and it seems that the rumors are wrong." In the huge Jiangdong, there is only such a small boat, Jiangdong rat thief, I advise you to come down as soon as possible! ”
"Humph!" A cold glint flashed in Zhou Tai's eyes: "Brothers, the lord has an order to teach them how to fight, and the right flank will attack!" ”
"Roar~" There were only more than 100 sailors who followed Zhou Tai out this time, while Yu Ban on the opposite side brought 100 fighting ships and 3,000 soldiers and horses. No matter the number of people, the size and number of warships can be compared, but these more than 100 people are full of confidence, and the small boats are like arrows from the string to take the lead in attacking.
"Shoot the arrows!" Yu Ban snorted coldly, a hundred fighting ships lined up in a row, and three thousand soldiers fired arrows at the same time, which was quite loud, but Zhou Tai's small boat was as slippery as a loach, and in three turns and two turns, it was already close to the fighting ship. Most of the arrows in the sky were shot into the river, and occasionally one or two hits, but they were easily blocked by the shield-wielding warriors on the boat.
"Prepare for war!" Seeing that the other party's boat was about to collide, Yu Ban snorted coldly. is about to face the battle, who knows that the flag in Zhou Tai's hand will change, and the boat will change direction. Almost brushed the ship away, and then. The warriors on the boat each picked up a penny from the boat and shook it vigorously. There was a scream from the fighting ship.
Before, Yu Ban saw that there were three or five pennies on each of these boats, and I didn't know what it meant, but I finally knew it now.
Just as he was about to give the order to counterattack, the other party had already moved away from the fighting ship like a fish and ran to the other side.
"Catch up and give me arrows!" Yu Ban snorted angrily, and ran to the other side with a large number of soldiers, it was okay not to run, this run, more than 30 soldiers on the ship ran to the side at the same time, the hull of the ship tilted instantly, and many fighting ships capsized.
Yu Ban's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to stabilize the warship, but unfortunately such a large fighting ship, although it is not easy to move in normal times, but once it moves, it is not stable, not to mention that there is a group of Jiangdong naval forces eyeing the side of it.
I saw Zhou Tai with dozens of small boats, picking up the shaking fighting ships to start, three or five pennies to pick up, you can use the water potential to overturn the fighting ships, for the Cao Jun who fell into the water did not look, quickly out of the battle, looking for the next target, after a while, there were more than 20 fighting ships were overturned by them.
Yu Ban finally stabilized the warship, when he looked back, a hundred fighting ships, just a moment of effort, turned half, Zhou Tai saw that he stabilized his position, and he was not in a hurry to step forward, and led the team to start a group of three or five to hunt and kill the Cao army who fell into the water, one by one penny stabbed down, the river was quickly stained red with blood, and Yu Ban's eyes were torn apart, but there was no way.
How can Cao Jun on the ship still have the arrogance he had at the beginning? Yu Ban's face was even more pale, nearly half of the three thousand elites were defeated by the other party's more than 100 people in less than an hour, and the rest of the people were also beaten by more than 100 people and did not dare to move, in his military career, there had never been such a humiliating defeat.
"Haha, Cao Cao's army is so virtuous?" Zhou Tai stood at the bow of the ship and laughed wildly: "Yu Ban, if you surrender, you will be spared death!" ”
Yu Ban stood at the bow of the boat with a pale face, and was about to say something, when an angry shout suddenly came from behind: "Zhou Tai is a traitor, you have the courage to fight me!" ”
Yu Ban was overjoyed, and when he looked back, it was Cai Mao who came with a team of sailors, and his face couldn't help but be a little hot, it was they who looked down on Cai Mao and Zhang Yun before, and Yu Ban asked for battle, which led to the fiasco now, and saw Cai Mao bring troops to rescue, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
"Traitor?" Zhou Tai turned his head, looked at Cai Mao, and sneered: "Who am I, it turned out to be Brother Cai, I heard that Brother Cai has changed masters recently, and I haven't congratulated Brother Cai yet." ”
Cai Mao said coldly: "Zhou Tai, Hugh wants to use words to squeeze me, Prime Minister Cao Cheng is on the order of the Son of Heaven to crusade against the Quartet, I descend to the Prime Minister, and I also descend to the Son of Heaven, what's wrong, but you, a grass coward, gather people to make trouble, the Son of Heaven is kind, forgive the sins of you, and let you govern one side, not thinking of serving the country, but against the imperial army, rebellious ministers and thieves, what qualifications do you have to say about me." ”
Cai Mao is a member of the family, don't look at the romance like a wreck, after being intimidated by Zhao Yun, he didn't dare to return the mouth when he was scolded by Zhang Fei, but he was able to lead the Jingzhou Navy for more than ten years, how could it be a real waste, in terms of eloquence, where can Zhou Tai compare to him, as soon as the two sentences were finished, Zhou Tai had already shot an arrow.
Fortunately, Cai Mao knew that the group on the other side was not a reasonable person, and he had been paying careful attention to Zhou Tai's actions, and when he saw Zhou Tai lifting the bow, he hurriedly made a tiger pounce, and he didn't care about the image, so he could dodge Zhou Tai's sharp arrow, but the entourage behind him was not so lucky, and was pierced through the chest by Zhou Tai's arrow and fell under the boat.
"Sure enough, a dog is a dog, and he wants to find to eat whenever he wants." Zhou Tai snorted coldly, withdrew his bow and arrows, turned his head to a group of soldiers and said, "Go, brothers, don't get in the way of other people's ****, let's go back to eat meat." ”
A group of people laughed and retreated towards the water village, Cai Mao didn't stop him, the fighting boat is not as light as a small boat, if he really catches up, then it will be Zhou Tai's performance again.
From beginning to end, Zhou Tai ignored Yu Ban, Yu Ban wanted to stop them, eat their frustration, and the most important thing was to capture Zhou Tai, but unfortunately he saw the power of the water war just now, he didn't dare to act rashly now, he could only watch Zhou Tai swagger back with so many people, and it was only at this time that Cai Mao came over with the fleet.
"General Yu, are you okay?" Cai Mao smiled and arched her hand.
Yu Ban glanced at the fleet behind Cai Mao, frowned, and said, "That Zhou Tai was only more than a hundred people, why didn't the general take advantage of the situation to capture him?" I think this person is quite proficient in water warfare, and if he can be captured, Jiangdong will definitely have one less help. ”
"If you don't want to, you can't." Cai Mao smiled bitterly: "The general may not know, that Zhou Tai Nai Zhuo Ao was one of the best naval generals, and water warfare is different from land warfare, not a lot of people can be done, his ship is smaller, but it is also more flexible, it is not difficult to retreat him, but it is not easy to capture him." ”
Thinking of Zhou Tai's group of small boats before, overturning dozens of his own fighting ships, Yu Ban couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully, indeed, the flexibility of the boat had been exerted to the fullest by Zhou Tai just now, turning his head, Yu Ban arched his hand to Cai Mao and said: "The previous thing, thank you General Cai for coming to the rescue, if it weren't for General Cai's timely appearance, I'm afraid that Ban would have become a prisoner at this moment, this kindness, Yu Ban will never dare to forget." ”
"Haha, the general is serious, and the general also suffers the loss of not knowing how to fight in water, if it is a land war, I believe that it will be ten Zhou Tai, and it will definitely not be the general's opponent." Cai Mao smiled and complimented.
The two of them were polite, Yu Ban glanced at Jiangdong Shuizhai again, and returned in a huff.
On the Jiangdong Water Village, Zhou Tai got off the boat and came to the Water Village, Zhuo Ao and Lu Su stood on a high place watching the Cao Jun fighting ship slowly retreat, Zhou Tai couldn't help but sigh and said: "If Cai Mao is a moment late, the last general will be able to capture that Yu Bansheng, it's a pity." ”
Lu Su nodded and said: "Although this Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are not famous generals, if it comes to water warfare, there are not many people in the world who can defeat them, and if these two people are not removed, it will be a great harm to our army." ”
"Then find a way to get rid of them." Zhuo Ao's fingers lightly tapped the railing, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Jiang Gan stole books, which gave Zhou Yu the opportunity to play a counter-trick, except for these two people, but he didn't have much friendship with Jiang Gan, and this road would not pass, and even if it was passed, Zhuo Ao never thought of doing this kind of thing.
"But the lord has a plan?" Lu Su looked at Zhuo Ao.
"I have an idea, but I'm afraid I will have to wronged a few generals." Zhuo Ao laughed.
"My lord, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Zhou Tailang said.
"Well, a few of you have recently taken turns to drown in Cao Ying, but there is one point, if you meet other generals leading the team, you will toss to death, but if Cai Mao and Zhang Yun fight, you will retreat, or make a feint and retreat."
"A plan for arrogance?" Lu Su looked at Zhuo Ao and smiled.
"Not all, but this matter, only we can't do it, we have to do enough to do the play, Zijing, you go to Jiangxia, and let Liu Bei cooperate with us to make this scene enough." Zhuo Ao laughed.
"Yes, Su is going here, there are some things that need to be dealt with with Uncle Liu Huang recently, so Su will leave." Lu Su nodded, hugged Zhuo Ao with a fist, and turned to leave. (To be continued.) )
