The southeasterly wind became stronger, and the first to benefit was the Koto fleet. They were upwind, and the Jiangxia ships were downwind. In the current situation, Jiangxia's fleet enjoys the advantage of the current, while the Jiangdong fleet enjoys the advantage of the wind.

With the blessing of the wind, the range of the bow and arrow on the Jiangdong ship was farther than that of the bow and arrow on the Jiangxia ship. In game terms, affected by the wind, the range of Jiangdong soldiers' bows and arrows is +5%, and the range of Jiangxia soldiers' bows and arrows is -5%, and there is an increase and a decrease of 10% in range.

The Jiangdong generals, who had noticed the change in the wind, had also made adjustments, and Huang Gai, who was the front, ordered the ships to keep a distance from the Jiangxia fleet and use bows and crossbows.

Ling Cao, who has always liked to be a pioneer, also gave up the bloody overboard battle, but with the blessing of the wind, ordered his own troops to use bows and crossbows to attack the Jiangxia fleet from a distance.

Jiangdong's arrows flew out of the ship like locusts, pierced the sky, and shot at the Jiangxia ship. Although most of the ding-dong shots were shot on the hull of the ship, it was useless; But some of them also hit the Jiangxia soldiers on the deck, and nearly a hundred sailors were injured in an instant.

Most of the bows and arrows from the Jiangxia ships fell on the turbulent waters of the Yangtze River, and even if a few could shoot the Jiangdong ships, they could only reach the edge.

Such an abnormal situation also made the Jiangxia ships discover that something was wrong, and they gave up long-range operations. Under the command of Chen Li and Yu Shi, the Jiangxia Navy tried to take the initiative to launch a broadside battle against the Eastern Wu Navy.

At the same time, Xu Kun's flagship also went to the front, approaching the front line of the battle, and Xu Kun went deep into the front line as a general, which greatly inspired the Jiangdong Navy that was fighting with the Jiangxia Naval Army.

On the ship, Xu Kun propped his hands on the wall of the ship, looked at the battle situation in front of him, and shouted: "Jiangxia's formation is in chaos, and it is difficult to attack from afar, so I have to launch a broadside battle again." Let Huang Gai not fight with him today, let his formation be chaotic, and then encircle and annihilate the enemy. ”

"No!"

The standard-bearer stood on a high place and waved the Lingqi, telling Huang Gai and Ling Cao not to engage the Jiangxia army, keep their distance, and pull with bows and arrows.

On the Yellow Cover ship, the lookout, who always pays attention to the movements of the flagship, shouted: "Far bow, do not engage in battle." ”

"Good!"

Huang Gai, who was ready to fight the enemy ship, gave up his idea, commanded his men to retreat, and used the bows and arrows on the ship to consume the Jiangxia navy with the advantage of wind power, trying to let the Jiangxia navy penetrate deep into the ship formation.

Xu Kun's thoughts, Chen, who was familiar with water warfare, saw it, and shouted: "Strictly order Chen Li and Yu Shi not to go deep into the enemy formation, and withdraw one after another." ”

But it's already deep, how can you easily withdraw it!

From the time Chen found out that something was wrong in front of him, to the time when the military order was issued to order the two to retreat, two moments (half an hour) had passed, not to mention how long it took for Chen Li and Yu Shi to receive the military order.

At this time, Yu Shi had already led nearly half of his subordinates to break in, but Chen Li led the periphery of the headquarters to wander, and he didn't seem to dare to go up if he wanted to.

When Yu Shi received the military order to retreat, his movements were immediately noticed by Huang Gai and Ling Cao. The two of them didn't wait for Xu Kun's order, and directly led the crowd to pounce.

Ling Cao led the light boat to advance again, holding a bow and arrow, staring at the remaining fighting boat. Unexpectedly, Huang Gai had already taken a fancy to Yu Shi and accelerated the speed of the boat to the maximum.

Yu Shi sensed that something was wrong and shouted, "Turn around, quickly retreat!" ”

How could it be so easy for the ship to turn in the Yangtze River, where the Wu boat was already approaching his fighting boat. In an instant, the situation changed again, and Yu Shisuo, who had been chasing after the troops who were trying to engage in the broadside battle, was dodging the broadside battle launched by the Wu army against him.

In this way, the ships of the two sides continued to approach, and when they were close to the range of the longbow, the Wu ships first launched a projectile at Yu Shisuo's department, killing and injuring those Jiangxia sailors.

Yu Shi held his shield, carefully dodged the flying arrows, and beckoned his men to speed up and escape from the Wu ships.

However, he was afraid of whatever he was worried about, and his figure had long been stared at by Huang Gai.

Seventy steps away, Huang Gai, at the high point of the bucket boat, drew the bow and the full moon, even if his body fluctuated with the Yangtze River, he was holding steadily. Feeling the change in the direction of the wind, and feeling the ups and downs of the boat, with a 'whoosh', the sharp arrow broke through the air, and hit the back for the rest of the time.

Yu Shi only felt a huge pain in his back, and as soon as his eyes were dark, he lost consciousness and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Captain!"

Seeing Yu Shi fall to the ground, the soldiers on the ship cried out in grief.

The Lord will die, the morale of the army has plummeted, and the hearts of the people are not in harmony. After a while, Huang Gai led the crowd to board the ship and surrendered the flagship of Yu Shi.

"Damn it!"

Ling Cao cursed, feeling deeply unhappy that his battle exploits were snatched away by Huang Gai, he pulled out his long knife and shouted, "Speed up, break into the enemy formation." ”

"No!"

Following Ling Cao's order, the light boat broke into the Jiangxia ship formation.

Just as Yu Shi died, the battleship under his command was either boarded by Ling Cao's men or subdued by Huang Gai's men. Only Chen Li did not dare to go deep because of timidity, and safely withdrew from the front, and passed the news of the rest of the time to Chen Zhi.

In fact, without his warning, Chen himself could see the Ling Cao Department that was constantly approaching him.

Chen clung to the wall of the ship, sighed and said: "Tell the Chinese army the information, say that the front is defeated, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat the Jiangdong Naval Division, and I ask for the withdrawal of the army today." ”

"No!"

After Chen gave the order, he did not wait for Huang Zu's reply, and led the front to slowly withdraw the army. Just kidding, when Huang Zu came with the news, he was bitten by the Jiangdong Sailor and couldn't run away.

Seeing the retreat of Jiangxia's front, Xu Kun, who had been paying attention to the battlefield situation on the front line, commanded loudly: "The enemy's ship formation is in chaos, the flagship is pressing, and the front is ordered to pursue." ”

The entourage reminded: "General, the flagship is too close to the battle line, and if it encounters a surprise attack by the enemy, it may give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it, so it is better to be careful." ”

Xu Kun looked displeased and said loudly: "When the former grandson rebelled against Huang Zu, he took the lead and encouraged the sergeants. If the flagship is too far away for scheduling, it will miss the fighter. Today's battle, Bike Jiangxia. ”

"No!"

On the current surface of the Yangtze River, Ling Cao rushed forward in order to snatch the merits of the war; Xu Kun thought that Huang Zu was weak and could be bullied, so the flagship advanced and urged the front to pursue.

……

Huang Zu, who was standing on the three-story ship, squinted at the battle situation in the distance, and his heart was uneasy.

After a while, the scout boarded the building boat in a small boat and announced: "General, Captain Zhang was beheaded by the enemy vanguard, and Chen Dudu was defeated by the Jiangdong Navy and has led his troops to retreat. ”

"Sun Quan Xiao'er!"

Huang Zu patted the wall of the ship angrily, and then his eyes saw the retreating figure of the ship in front of him. Then Huang Zu's anger also disappeared, and it was replaced by panic. It seems that he has returned to the scene when he defeated Sun Ce a few years ago, and if he does not withdraw now, I am afraid that he will repeat the mistake of the Battle of Xisai Mountain.

In the blink of an eye, Huang Zu calmed down and ordered: "Order the troops to retreat, and order Su Dudu to lead the troops to the rear of the palace." ”

Huang Zu has fought for so many years, and he is also a person who is proficient in water warfare, so he decisively ordered his subordinates to withdraw their troops and carry out the act of breaking the wrist of a strong man.

"No!"

The signal behind the retreat hall was instantly transmitted throughout the entire fleet through the command flag.

"Finally withdraw!"

The yellow shot on the stern seemed to have let go of some burden, and said lightly.

However, Huo Jun became more and more worried, he didn't seem to be satisfied with such a result, he had to do something!

After pondering for a while, Huo Jun, who had been observing the situation on the battlefield from a high place, seemed to have thought of something, went down the wooden ladder to the deck, and said in a deep voice: "Major General, this place is not conducive to the defense of His Royal Highness Su Dudu, let Su Du Governor lead the people to retreat to the area of Tianxingzhou to set up defenses, and the wind is enough to force back the Jiangdong Water Division." ”

Although the Yangtze River flows into the sea from west to east, in fact, the Yangtze River course in the Xiakou (Wuhan) section is extremely tortuous, sometimes to the southeast, sometimes to the northeast.

Previously, the army set out from Xiakou to the northeast, and then made a big turn in Tianxingzhou, changing from the northeast to the southeast.

With the blessing of the southeast gale, in fact, the Jiangxia army was fighting against the wind on the river after Tianxingzhou. Retreat to the river before Tianxingzhou, the northeast river and the southeast wind will form a right angle, if you can seize the right area, then the Jiangxia army will seize the upwind outlet, using the range advantage to force back the Jiangdong naval army.

Of course, it's not only that, if the Jiangdong Navy gives them a chance, they can also bite off a piece of meat from them.
