Chapter 148: The Verge

Previous Chapter

"General, today's wind is strong, which is not conducive to the travel of warships, can you postpone training?"

At the mouth of the Han River, on a warship, a staff general was bowing down to ask the chief general for instructions.

"No!" The main general's face was cold, and his tone was unquestionable, "The prime minister handed over all the 50,000 sailors to me for training, that is to look up to me Cai Mao, if you miss the prime minister's major event, Cai Mao will not have ten heads enough to cut off the prime minister!" ”

"Hurry up and train without delay!"

The main general is Cai Mao, after Kaecheng surrendered to Cao Cao, he was not confiscated from the army, but because of his proficiency in water warfare, he was reused by Cao Cao.

Cai Mao was also grateful to Dade for this, and was respectful to Cao Cao, but if there was an order, he would not dare to disobey it.

Seeing Cai Mao's resolute attitude, the general knew that today's training was inevitable, so he had to bite the bullet and give orders, and was just about to drive the boat out of the estuary, when he suddenly saw several small boats of unknown origin around him.

Although the boat came by rocking, the speed was extremely fast, and the hull of the boat was so small that it could hardly set off the waves.

"Who?"

The general realized that something was wrong and let out a loud shout.

The boats did not stop advancing, but more and more small boats appeared behind them, and they came towards Cai Mao's main ship at the mouth of the river in an encirclement manner.

"There are assassins, protect the general!"

Sensing danger, the general drew his sword and shouted.

"Whoosh!"

A flying knife went straight to his throat, and the general's throat made a "ho-ho" sound, and he fell to the ground on the spot.

Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers were shocked, some drew their swords against the enemy, and some were so frightened that they hugged their heads and ran away.

Cai Mao heard the movement and hurriedly came to the outside of the ship to check.

"Cai Mao!"

A black figure quickly approached and shouted.

"Who's looking for General Ben?" Cai Mao responded.

"Hades is looking for you!" The black figure flashed with a sword light, and Cai Mao didn't even have time to react, so he was directly cut off his throat on the spot and plunged into the Han River.

The Lord was beheaded by the sword in one shot, and the rest of his entourage completely collapsed and confused, and were killed on the spot by countless black-clothed men who jumped up from the boat, and their bodies were thrown into the river.

In Fancheng, Cao Cao had just strengthened the defensive forces outside the city, and used this place as a big tent to command the crossing of the river to capture Jiangdong and Xichuan.

As soon as he returned to the camp after his work, a herald hurriedly came with news.

Zhonglang Lieutenant Cai Mao was assassinated at the mouth of the Han River, his body fell into the Han River and fed the fish, and most of the 50,000 naval troops in Jingzhou were defeated and scattered, leaving a small number of remnants of the army and a small number of remnants.

"What?!"

When Cao Cao heard the news, his eyes widened, and he was stunned on the spot.

Cai Mao was killed? It must have been done by Koto!

As a result, there is no longer a general under him who is good at water warfare, how to cross the river and seize Jiangdong?

Cao Cao's face was as pale as death, and he only felt like he had been slapped hard, and his head was blank.

"Ordered Xiahoudun to order him to prepare all the warships within three days, and after three days, the prime minister will personally lead the army to attack Jiangdong!"

Cao Cao, who was angry, lost his mind, roared angrily, and his eyes were red from anger.

Killing Cai Mao is clearly cutting off his back road, so that no one wants to live, take advantage of the fact that Jiangdong and Liu Bei have not yet formed an alliance and fight hard, maybe there is still a way to live!

Three days later.

Thundered!

The river is angry and roaring.

Cao Cao's army rode large warships and confronted the forces of the Sun clan in Jiangdong.

It's just that Cao Cao never expected that the Sun regime, which had always shown weakness in front of him, had quietly expanded and hoarded such a huge number of troops, with more than 400,000 troops.

Coupled with Liu Bei and the allies of Taiping Dao, the strength of the Sun-Liu Alliance has surpassed Cao Cao's army.

The elite soldiers of Qingzhou on the warship looked at the Jiangdong army like a black torrent, their faces were miserable, and there was no trace of blood.

After all, this is a water war, they are not good at it, and now the number is not dominant.

Before the charge of Sun Liu's army arrived, there was a sound like a mountain flood collapsing, turning into a rolling sound wave, inheriting a range of dozens of miles nearby.

Cao Cao made up his mind, and in the face of the enemy's frontal charge, Cao Cao did not choose to go out to meet the battle.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Cao Cao's roar resounded through the warship.

Whoosh!

Several rows of archers drew their stiff bows, and their arrows rained down on the enemy.

Whoa!

Under the rain of arrows, the Sun-Liu coalition army did kill a lot of people.

But under the whole, these people who died did not help at all.

Even if all the arrows in the ship were used, how many people would be killed?

Qianzhang! Baizhang! Ten zhang!

In almost a moment, the enemy warship was already approaching Cao Cao's main warship.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and trembled in his heart.

He had the illusion that the defensive formation of the warship under his feet was torn apart like gauze under the impact of the enemy.

"I hope I can stop it." Cao Cao froze.

However, at this moment, a man appeared silently on the bank of the river.

The man's bronze face did not have the slightest expression, facing the army on the vast river, and the aura of killing burst out all over his body.

"Overlord Sword!"

The man held a strange broadsword in his hand, raised it to the center of his eyebrows, and then slashed down towards the army.

Airplanes!

The shadow of the sword turned into a lotus remnant in an instant, enveloping the sky.

The sword burst out, like a searchlight, illuminating the river in an instant, and slashing down at the enemy.

Snort!

In an instant, rows of soldiers were cut in two by this sword.

Blood splattered, flesh and bones flying.

The rivers are dyed red.

Just, the next moment.

More soldiers frantically poured in.

Under the blow of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, although it can be shocking, the hundreds of soldiers killed cannot make the Sun-Liu coalition retreat at all.

In fact, although hundreds of soldiers are not small, they are insignificant compared to the overall Sun-Liu coalition army, and they can't even stir up a ripple.

Besides, this is above the river, not on the ground, no matter how strong Xiang Yu is, he has to rely on the boat to move, and he can't rush into the local camp to fight as he wants.

On top of the warship.

When Cao Cao saw this scene, it was like falling into a cold cave, and his body was cold.

Of course he understands the strength of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu.

Yuan Shao's 500,000 troops were not his opponents, and they were slaughtered and slaughtered.

But at this moment, under Sun Liu's army, although the strength of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, has not decreased, it cannot reverse the situation on the battlefield.

The enemy's offensive only slowed down slightly, but it still slowly approached Cao Cao's main ship with an unstoppable attitude.

"Not good!" Cao Cao looked shocked.

Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded in Cao Cao's ears.

"Defend the formation, don't mess up the formation!"

Yu Huatian, wearing a purple robe, appeared on the side of the riverbank, his figure flashed, and suddenly disappeared in place.

When he waited for Yuhuatian to appear again, he was already in another direction on the river.
