As Zhou Yu said, Huang Zu slacked off. He was ordered to move his troops from Peng Lize to Chaisang, not only with the important task of consolidating Chaisang, but also with the task of assisting Peng Zecheng.

When Sun Quan and Zhou Yu led the army to attack Pengze City, he paid attention to the situation in Pengze City, and was worried that Huo Jun would not be able to hold the city, but the result was beyond his expectations, Huo Jun not only held the city, but also caused a large number of casualties to the Jiangdong soldiers and horses.

Since November, Huang Zu has not paid much attention to Peng Zecheng except for listening to important battle reports. Just sent Chen to lead the sailors to patrol the river, keeping an eye on the situation in Pengze; He led a large army to garrison the water village and divided his troops to guard the city of Chaisang; His son Huang Yi led the army back to Xiakou to transport grain and grass.

At dawn, the mist on the river surface obscured both sides of the Yangtze River. Vaguely, the warships stretched for several miles, the warships stood in a forest, and the flags covered the sun, like a giant dragon swimming on the Yangtze River, rushing to attack the Chaisang Water Village.

The giant ship stands in the center of the fleet, and the 'Zhou' flag is hoisted and fluttering in the wind, echoing with the surrounding various fighting ships, walking boats, and other large and small ships.

On the third day after Pan Zhang's death, Zhou Yu and Sun Quan left Pengze City unknowingly under the cover of night and turned to attack Chaisang.

On the bow of the ship, Zhou Yu stood on the deck with a sword, staring ahead, looking at the fast horse boat that broke through the river, looking forward to the good news.

In a few moments, a fast horse arrived under the ship, and the scout climbed up the wooden ladder thrown down from the deck.

"How's that!"

Zhou Yu stretched out his hand to pull up the scout and asked.

Seeing that it was Zhou Yu, the scout nervously presented the battle report and said: "Governor Qiyu, Captain Ling has come to report that he has led fifty people from his headquarters to kill the Jiangxia thief general Chen Yu, captured his entire ship, and found out the important enemy situation of Chaisang. ”

Zhou Yu opened the battle report, flipped through it carefully, and couldn't help but smile on his face, and said: "Although the public performance is young, it is really brave. Huang Zu was slack in armaments, and his strength was no more than six or seven thousand. His sailors were not in order, and only ordered two huge ships to guard the mouth of the river, thinking that it was a barrier to the water village. ”

Ling Tong, who was in danger under Zhao Yunhua, not only did not leave any secret injuries after cultivation, but also went to the next level of bravery. In this active battle, Ling Tong asked Ying to lead the surviving fifty people in his headquarters as the forward scouts, and share a boat with these fateful friends, and go dozens of miles away from the army and go deep into the enemy territory.

Ling Tong and his subordinates dressed up as Jiangxia sailors, deceived the sailor's password, and climbed up to help Chen on the big boat by virtue of the approaching night of the night. not only killed Chen Jie himself, captured Chen Zuo's entire ship, but also discovered the water village and sent it to Zhou Yu.

"Huang Zu's death has come!"

Zhou Yu clenched the battle report and said with a sneer: "Order all the ships and ships to travel at the same time, and be sure to attack and kill the Chaisang Water Village by noon, and not prepare for war with the enemy." ”

"No!"

The whole fleet hoisted the sails, and in the face of the headwind and water, the boatmen shook the oars, tried their best to speed up the boat, and broke the waves.

"What!"

Huang Zu, who was taking a nap, heard the news of the attack of the Jiangdong Naval Division, his face was full of horror, and he said, "Aren't the Jiangdong thieves besieging Pengze City?" Didn't Huo Jun design an ambush and kill the thief a few days ago, why did he suddenly kill Chaisang! ”

Immediately afterwards, Huang Zu seemed to realize something, scolded secretly, and said: "This group of bullying and afraid of the hard, if you can't bite Huo Jun, you will come to beat me." Don't think that my Huang Zu can't be bullied, let him see the benefits and disadvantages of a certain today. ”

Huang Zu lifted the blanket, put on his armor, and ordered the left and right: "Order the two thousand sailors to go up to the river estuary, and the rest of the soldiers to line up in boats." And let Deng Long seize the time to prepare for the war in order to deal with the siege of Jiangdong soldiers and horses. ”

"No!"

……

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sound of war drums resounded across the river, and the Jiangdong sailors braved the rain of arrows to storm the Jiangxia Water Village. The Jiangxia Navy relied on two giant ships to guard the camp gate of the water village, and thousands of soldiers were arranged on it, and the bows and crossbows were staggered to shoot, and the arrows rained down, and the Jiangdong Navy Division could not get close at all.

"Whoosh!"

Listening to the dense whistling sound in the air, Ling Tong used his shield to block the arrows that were being shot, and scolded, "Why are there so many arrows in this group of people. ”

"I don't know!"

His subordinates held up a large shield and said: "The enemy's two warships do not see any shaking in the river, and the ground is stable and flat, and our army does not know how many soldiers will die in such a charge." ”

Ling Tong's fighting boat was full of dense arrows, and several people died on the deck with more than a dozen arrows, blood all over the plank, mixed with the river water that hit the boat. Ling Tong and Bu Qu leaned against each other with their shields, not daring to raise their heads at all.

Under the headwind and water, the ship rose and fell with the waves, and it was difficult for the Jiangdong soldiers to stand, and the bows and crossbows in their hands could not shoot at all. Those Jiangdong sailors who tried to engage in the broadside battle were either hiding in the cabin, or holding shields and huddled into a ball, next to the rain of arrows from Jiangxia sailors.

"Withdraw!"

Zhou Yu, who was on the flagship, heard the battle report ahead, angrily slammed down the wall of the ship, and commanded.

"No!"

Zhou Yu didn't expect that the two ships arranged by Huang Zu at the mouth of the water village were so exquisite, the two huge ships were isolated from the river, and four palm cables were tied to the big stone pier and sunk to the bottom of the river, completely fixing the ships. The two warships formed a water fortress, with a total of 2,000 soldiers in it, condescending, with bows and crossbows forming a firepower network, which made it impossible for people to rush in.

"Haha!"

Inside the water village, Huang Zu looked at the Jiangdong sailors who had retreated again and again, and looked up to the sky and laughed. This group of people really thought that they couldn't do it in the mud, they couldn't beat Peng Zecheng, and they came to attack Chaisang, which was really a fool's dream. I have been crisscrossing the river for 20 years, and if I can't keep Chaisang, I don't have to mix it up.

Compared to Huang Zu's joy, Zhou Yu frowned, his current pressure was not small. Strongly advocate the army to attack the Jiangxia Water Division, if he can't take the Chaisang Water Village, what will he take to see Sun Quan. The situation of the entire Yuzhang will also be eroded because of this.

On the deck, Dong Xi, Ling Tong, and Zhou Tai looked at Zhou Yu with a strange expression, really questioning Zhou Yu's ability to lead troops to fight.

Zhou Yu ignored everyone's strange gazes and said in a deep voice: "Huang Zu used the advantage of the ship to isolate the river, and then sank the river with huge stones, making it difficult for our army to march. Now we should order people to rush forward with arrows, cut the cables of the two ships on the left and right, so that they cannot be fixed, and float with the wind and water, and break their water village. ”

After a pause, Zhou Yu looked at Dong Xi and Ling Tong, and said, "Today, the two of you are ordered to lead a hundred people each, wearing three layers of heavy armor, and marching in with a shield. We must cut the cable in order to reverse the situation of our army, I don't know if you dare? ”

"How dare you."

Although Dong Xi and Ling Tong were questioning Zhou Yu just now, now that Zhou Yu provides a solution, they are still willing to give it a try.

"Good!"

Zhou Yu propped his hand on the hilt of the sword and said in a deep voice: "After the two of you cut the cable, Yu will lead the army to kill." Zhou Zhonglang led the army to lurk ashore, ambushed between Chaisang and Shuizhai, and if Huang Zu was defeated and retreated, Huang Zu should be intercepted and killed. ”

"No!" The people answered.

……

Accompanied by the sound of snare drums, Zhou Yu led the sailors to approach, using bows and crossbows to cover Dong Xi and Ling Tong. The two of them led a hundred soldiers in three-layer heavy armor to sail up the boat and rushed to the two ships.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The officer on the stern saw that the Jiangdong ship was within range of the bow and arrow again, drew his long sword, and shouted loudly.

"Whoosh!"

Between the vibrations of the bowstring, thousands of arrows roared up and flew towards the Wu ships in a projectile situation.

The Wu ships also began to counterattack, and the soldiers on the deck with bows and arrows drew their bows and arrows to throw at the opponent under the cover of the female wall. Due to the headwind, the arrows could not cause fatal danger to the Jiangxia sailors, but were caused by the other party to some casualties.

For a while, the arrows on the river surface flew through the air, accompanied by the sound of the wind, which was terrifying. Ling Tong led his troops and Dong Xi to rush out at the same time, and the oarsmen on the boat rowed hard to take the left and right ships at a speed.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The officer on the stern on the left seemed to sense Ling Tong's intentions and shouted loudly, "Don't let these people get close!" ”

Ling Tong held the shield and stood on the deck, without fear, blocking arrows left and right, feeling the constant blows coming from the shield. Even if those dense arrows rained down on his body, they would not be able to penetrate the three layers of heavy armor on his body, and the arrows would not be able to penetrate deep when they were stuck on the second layer of armor.

After about half an hour, the thunderous boat burst to the bottom of the ship, and Ling Tong raised his shield and drew his sword in his hand, slashing through the sturdy palm cables.

With a knife, the rope wire is withdrawn.

Two knives, the rope is half broken.

Three knives, the rope breaks.

Losing a steady rope, it suddenly began to tilt sideways, making it difficult for the crossbowman to control the crossbow in his hand, and he shot crookedly.

Immediately afterwards, another large palm cable was cut, and the hull of the ship began to rise and fall along the river. Then three or four cables were cut, and the huge ship could no longer control the stability of the hull, nor could it hold the hull, and slowly floated eastward under the influence of the wind and water.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu drew his sword and pointed at the sky, shouting angrily: "Break the village!" ”

"No!"

The order flag, which symbolizes the assault of the whole army, was hoisted, and more than 100 Jiangdong naval divisions took advantage of the situation to enter.

Jiang Qin was the vanguard and led his troops to rush in. Fighting with the Jiangxia sailors moored in the water village, the bloody battle began. The Jiangdong soldiers and horses, who lost their courage under Pengze City, regained their self-confidence on the river, as if they were in a no-man's land.

Its own combat effectiveness and number are inferior to Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, and now the big ship that is a bulwark floats away, shaking the military spirit of Jiangxia's soldiers. In the face of the wolf-like Jiangdong soldiers and horses, Jiangxia soldiers were either killed or fleeing.

"Let's go!"

Huang Zu saw the big ship floating away, and secretly said something bad in his heart. With more than 300 of his cronies, he walked towards Chaisang City, preparing to defend the city with the strength of Chaisang. No matter how bad it is, he can lead his troops to retreat south, join Liu Bei and Liu Qi, and recapture Chaisang.

However, Huang Zu, who escaped from the water village, met Zhou Tai in ambush on the road, and fought bravely with three hundred parts, killing a bloody road for Huang Zu. Huang Zu rode away alone, but was chased by the knight Feng Ze and cut off his head.

Chaisang guards Deng Long, surrender without a fight!
