The two small boats in Jiangdong, the leader of the army, one is called Ling Tong, and the other is called Lu Meng.

Zhou Yu commanded the Jiangdong Naval Army, and entangled with the Jiangxia Naval Army all morning, although he had the advantage on the scene, he really had no way to take the hedgehog array commanded by Chen for a while.

After two days of observation, Zhou Yu has also figured out the defensive routine of the Jiangxia Water Army.

The first layer is the defensive fortress on the cliff along the river, which is the first step used to reduce the speed of the Jiangdong ship and weaken the combat power of the Jiangdong army.

Zhou Yu really had no choice but to take these cities, there were more attacking ships sent, and there was always the possibility of being hit by the stones thrown from the cities along the river, and there were fewer attacking ships sent, and there was no way to pose a substantial threat to the Jiangxia navy.

The second layer is the hedgehog array of the Jiangxia Navy on the opposite side.

With two Mengchong as the core, one on the left and one on the left, echoing each other, no matter which direction the Jiangdong naval army attacked, it had to face the attack of two Mengchong warships and most of the small boats, and it was difficult to break through for a while.

These two layers of defense complement each other, and Zhou Yu believes that if he continues to fight like this, although he will kill the other side, his own casualties are also a bit unacceptable.

Zhou Yu didn't want to continue to spend it with Chen.

Defeating the Jiangxia naval army is not Zhou Yu's goal, Zhou Yu's purpose is to occupy Jiangxia's city, if possible, Zhou Yu still wants to occupy Jiangxia County.

Therefore, if you are entangled with the Jiangxia naval army here, it will lead to too much of your own losses, and the follow-up shore siege troops will be insufficient. Well, it is inevitable that we will repeat the mistake of attacking Jiangxia before, and we will not get anything except a little money and food.

Therefore, Zhou Yu called Ling Tong and Lu Meng, two fierce generals.

This is the old wisdom of killing Zhang Shuo before the trip, so that Ling Tong and Lü Meng led the army to directly attack the center of the Jiangxia Navy and kill Chen Zhuo.

Let Ling Tong and Lu Meng each lead a small boat, and the small boat is not full of officers, only fifty or sixty elite soldiers.

Such a ship is light, fast, and has a small target, and it is not easy to be hit by stones thrown by the city along the wide river. Well, if it really hits, then Zhou Yu can only accept his fate, because his luck is too bad.

Secondly, the two small boats carried the elite, and after breaking through the defense of the Jiangxia naval army, they went straight to the two Mengchong, causing chaos among the two Mengchong warships.

If you can kill Chen, of course, it is the best, if not, you must also make the two Mengchong ships of the Jiangxia Navy unable to echo each other, so as to create conditions for Zhou Yu to command the Jiangdong Navy to break through.

At the beginning, Ling Tong killed Zhang Shuo, and finally retreated, it was for this reason.

And now, Ling Tong and Lu Meng also executed the first half of the plan quite smoothly, broke through the interception of the Jiangxia navy, broke into the Mengchong ship, threw out the hook lock and began to climb.

At this time, Chen Zhi's reaction was actually similar to Zhang Shuo's, and he really didn't think that these Jiangdong soldiers who broke through could pose much of a threat to himself.

And Ling Tong, the lucky baby, and Lu Meng each chose a ship, they actually coincidentally chose Chen Zhuo's flagship, and after boarding the bow, Ling Tong followed the previous routine and rushed to the main general under the banner is an arrow.

Last time, Ling Tong killed Zhang Shuo in this unexpected way, leaving the Jiangxia Navy without command, and in the end, he was able to retreat safely with three small boats.

But this time, the arrow shot by Ling Tong was nailed to a long card.

Chen didn't react, and Chen Yan's own soldiers couldn't respond, but Wei Yan reacted.

Although Wei Yan's face is pale now, and his hands and feet are a little weak, his sense of acuity on the battlefield is still there, and he has been Liu Bei's guard all year round, so he has a natural sense of vigilance against this kind of enemy who is close to the main general.

As soon as he saw that someone was on the boat, Wei Yan immediately commanded his guards to seize Chen Zhi's body, that is, he was so quick that he finally stopped the arrow shot by Ling Tong.

Chen was frightened by the arrow, but then he found out that he was fine.

It doesn't matter if you let the enemy soldiers enter the Chinese army, and you almost killed yourself as the commander, Chen can not be angry, can you not be afraid.

Chen immediately ordered his own soldiers to come forward and besiege Ling Tong as soon as possible, and never let Ling Tong and the soldiers he led escape.

But Ling Tong, as a young general, is valued by Zhou Yu, if he doesn't have any real skills, how can it be.

What's more, after Ling Tongyi missed, he did not give up the attack, but immediately gathered the elite soldiers who climbed onto the ship to form a military formation, and in the face of Chen Zhuo's personal soldiers, he actually continued to fight without retreating at all, and there was also a faint posture of killing and scattering Chen Zhuo's personal soldiers.

Chen immediately lost his face and wanted to back down.

Although it is said that the general will inevitably die in battle, it is better not to die if he can't even stop these Jiangdong troops who board the ship, Chen is really worried that he will die on the ship.

But Chen couldn't run in the end.

It's not that he doesn't want to run away, it's that Wei Yan won't let him run.

Although Wei Yan vomited a lot of meat and vegetables now, he could still control it in the face of Chen Zuo, who was not known for his martial arts.

Moreover, Wei Yan was full of confidence in the three Shi guards he brought.

Although it is not on land now, and the water surface is somewhat bumpy, the Mengchong big ship is always more stable than the small boat, and the combat power will be discounted, but it should not be a big problem.

The most important thing is that he has three or more than 30 people in his hands, and the enemy troops on the opposite side climbed onto the boat, and there are only more than 30 people in a one-to-one ratio, even if Cao Jun comes, he has to lie down.

Although Wei Yan and Zhang Xi don't like each other, they really like the soldiers trained by Zhang Xi, and they have enough confidence.

In this situation where the situation is obviously superior, Chen, as the commander of the navy, doesn't have the courage at all, and still wants to run?!

Wei Yan didn't explain much to Chen, but directly waved his hand, letting the guards step forward to take over and fight with the Jiangdong elite led by Ling Tong.

The combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong Naval Army, needless to say, is indeed strong.

But the hand-to-hand combat ability of the Jiangdong naval army. You can't say bad, but you can't say good either.

If this is to fight on a ship like a small boat that shakes so much, Wei Yan's guards will have to fold, after all, if you are not familiar with water warfare, you can't stand on the boat steadily, how can you fight the enemy.

But if it was a big ship like Meng Chong, even if Ling Tong led the elite, even if it was fighting at home on the water, Ling Tong felt a little unbearable.

And Wei Yan was also surprised. He somewhat underestimated the impact of surface warfare on the Army.

If this was on land, with the so-called elite hand-to-hand combat ability of the Jiangdong Army, Wei Yan would have been able to command the guards to kill Ling Tong's army a long time ago.

But on the water, even the Zhang Xi Guards, who had practiced the Mandarin Duck Formation, could not exert much combat effectiveness on the bumpy and shaking warship, and they only suppressed the Jiangdong soldiers, but could not break through their formation and cause many effective casualties.

Wei Yan felt a little embarrassed, he wanted to step forward by himself and fight with the enemy generals, but his physical condition really did not allow it, and it was difficult for Wei Yan to even lift the knife at this time.

But fortunately, at this time, Chen finally stabilized his mind.

Chen saw that the soldiers of the enemy general of the other party were blocked, and he was temporarily out of danger, and the quality that he should have as a commander of the naval army was reflected.

Since he had blocked the enemy's attack head-on, Chen immediately commanded his cronies' troops to go around the rear and attack the soldiers led by Ling Tong from the flank.

Ling Tong was originally a little difficult to defend the guards commanded by Wei Yan head-on, and as soon as he saw that Chen commanded the soldiers to flank him, he instantly knew that it was not good, and if he hesitated, he was afraid that he would have to explain here.

Immediately let out a long howl, and then turned around and jumped off the boat with the soldiers Jiangdong Elite Water Sense didn't have to say, and after a while, he swam back to his boat, and then began to kill back.

At this time, Chen did not order the soldiers to chase, because Zhou Yu had already sent a naval army to attack, and on the other Mengchong battleship, the soldiers were still in a state of confusion.

Chen had Wei Yan here to help him block an arrow, and he also repelled Ling Tong's attack, and the other soldier on Meng Chong did not have such a good fate.

After Lu Meng got on the ship, he was simply killed, and the soldiers on the Mengchong war ship were terrified, and some of them jumped off the ship directly to survive.

Now that Ling Tong had retreated, Lü Meng also began to retreat in order to avoid being encircled, but the connection between the two Meng Chong warships had been briefly cut off.

At this time, Zhou Yu seized the opportunity and divided his troops into two ways, one of which was commanded by himself, entangled a Mengchong battleship commanded by Chen and the small boats around him, and the other was another old friend of Jiangxia, the navy led by Gan Ning, and began to storm Jiangxia boats that temporarily did not have Meng Chong as the core.

Chen was angry and anxious, but the connection between Meng Chong was cut off, and he couldn't distract himself from the two commands in a short time, so he could only command the navy army against Zhou Yu's army wholeheartedly.

Of course, Chen is indeed ruthless enough, and has the decisiveness of a qualified naval general.

Seeing that he was being attacked from two sides, he couldn't be distracted and commanded, so he immediately ordered to abandon another Mengchong battleship and let the other small boats get as close to him as possible, with Shan Mengchong as the core, and still built a defensive formation.

It's just that the echo of another Mengchong battleship is missing, and this time Chen can only fight hard with Zhou Yu, and the loss is greater than before.

As for Zhou Yu, he won't be stupid enough to fight with Chen to get casualties.

As soon as he saw that Gan Ning had already killed the Jiangxia Navy and controlled Meng Chong, who was abandoned by Chen, Zhou Yu directly waved the command flag and asked Gan Ning to retreat with the boat, and he was responsible for the palace.

Without the mutual echo of the two Mengchong warships, there is only one Mengchong Chen Zhi, which is no longer a threat in Zhou Yu's eyes.

As long as he waited for a few days and rearranged the attack formation, Zhou Yu was confident that he would completely defeat the Jiangxia Navy in a battle, and from then on, he would drive straight into the hinterland of Jiangxia.
