Chapter 275: Dongwu Comes to Aid (Ten More Requests for Recommendation)

Jiangxia's navy will attack and retreat, erratic, Cai Mao is hesitating whether to pursue, and suddenly the scout came to report, Jiangdong Sun Quan raised tens of thousands of troops, and attacked Xiangyang at night.

Cai Mao slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "I almost fell for the thief's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" Duan Dahu used the Jiangxia Navy to drag me down, but let Dongwu attack Xiangyang, it was really vicious!"

Thinking of Cao Cao's appearance of hiding a knife in his smile, Cai Mao had a cold sweat on his back, if Xiangyang was taken by Dongwu, then Cao Cao would not kill himself to feed the fish. Just thinking about it, he suddenly saw a sudden fire on the river in the direction of Xiangyang, Cai Mao was shocked, how could he still be afraid of any ambush, and ordered loudly: "Order the whole army to attack, break through the encirclement of the Duan army, and go down the river to aid Jingzhou!"

In fact, the city of Xiangyang is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Cao Cao has the main force of the north and the horses there, even if the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu are pouring out, how can they capture Xiangyang for a while? But Cai Mao was originally a general, and was entrusted with a heavy task by Cao Cao, Cao Cao was already suspicious, as soon as there was a storm in Xiangyang, how could he not ask for help?

Duan's naval division has already been ambushed, but his own troops are larger, more ships can be mobilized, and he can fight. At this time, it was already the beginning of the rising sun, a layer of light mist loomed on the river, and a large number of large ships of Cao's army left the Wulin Water Village and went straight to Xiangyang.

Duan Dahu had already received Zhuge Liang's express report, and reacted quickly, led by the pangolin battleship, and several large ships soon appeared on the river downstream on the right side of Cao Jun. Seeing this situation, Cao Cao knew in his heart that Duan Jun was nothing more than Jiangxia's soldiers and horses, but he was bluffing. At the moment, going down the river, the speed and offensive were more aggressive, Duan Dahu commanded calmly, stuck to the front, and made a posture of fighting to the death to block Cao's army from returning to Jingzhou.

But in the end, there were few ships and arrows, and after a while, the Duan Army's sailors had already suffered heavy casualties, and many soldiers were shot by random arrows and fell into the river. Duan Dahu saw that he was invincible, so he ordered to trace the river to bypass Cai Mao's water division and go to the northwest in a panic.

Cai Mao was furious, and said in his heart: "You asked me to go back to Jingzhou to help, but you went to attack Wulin again? How can there be such a cheap thing?!" At that time, seeing that there were only more than 70 Duan Dahu warships left, and a big Duanzi banner was waving in the wind, Cai Mao thought again: "If you lose Wulin, it is also a capital crime, but if you annihilate Duan Dahu Sailor in one fell swoop and capture Jiangxia, wouldn't it be another miracle?"

He had already made up his mind, so he waved the command flag again, and thousands of boats raced towards Duan Dahu's turtle boat. The other ships were not in Cai Mao's eyes, but he knew that there must be a big tiger on this turtle boat. Because the turtle boat makes the flag unfurled, it is obviously the commander's boat.

Cao's warships puffed up their sails and kept approaching the river. The turtle boat naturally sailed to block it, and the spiky pangolin was so imposing that even if it collided directly, it could sink Cao Jun's boat in the river.

What made Cao Jun most afraid was the spikes spit out of this ship, sharp and sharp, and the big ship rode the wind and waves, but the small boat that was hooked by the iron spikes was suddenly damaged, and even capsized directly in the river, and many Cao soldiers fell into the river because of this. Cao Jun was inevitably afraid, and he didn't dare to approach for a while, so he could only attack from a distance with weapons such as bows and crossbows, but with little effect.

Cai Mao couldn't help frowning when he saw this situation, but at this time, it was already difficult to ride a tiger, and he immediately issued a strict order, and he had to dust this turtle king eight ships at any cost, after all, there were not many ships in the Duan Army's sailors, as long as this turtle ship was sunk, how could other ships be the opponents of the 100,000 sailors?

Zhang Yun, as a deputy general, naturally did not dare to delay, so he had to attack hard. However, there were many mechanisms on the turtle boat, and there were hook and lock attacks from time to time, Cao Jun was not used to water warfare, and he was already dizzy when he stood on the boat, and he was even more killed and injured at this time. But Zhang Yun was also red-eyed, and he didn't care much, and kept urging his soldiers to approach the turtle boat, and then shoot arrows to hurt the enemy, or directly set rockets to burn the ship.

In this way, the effect was obvious, the turtle boat was full of bows and arrows, and it was blazing, Cai Mao was overjoyed, and immediately led the main force to follow up, and tens of thousands of Cao Jun's warships were pressing towards the Duan Army's naval division.

Suddenly, a man jumped up from the turtle boat, like an eagle rising and falling, and extinguished the fire on the turtle boat. Although the bulge of the turtle ship is made of iron armor, the deck and cabin are made of wood after all, and it is okay to encounter a few rockets, but at this time, Cai Mao is desperate, and the hull is already full of rockets, how can the big ship not be ready to ignite?

Duan Dahu used both feet, swept up and down, and threw a bunch of rockets into the river. But he was also quite embarrassed and burned his clothes. But without combustion, the fire was naturally much smaller.

"Shoot the arrows!" Cai Mao commanded loudly.

For a while, ten thousand arrows were fired at Duan Dahu. Duan Dahu drew his knife and swung it, covering himself in it, and it was another "Broken Waterfall Knife", and the knife crossed over, slashing a small boat in front of Cai Maolou's boat, splitting the boat, and sinking in a blink of an eye. But after all, there were too many spears and arrows, and Duan Dahu could only push into the cabin.

At this time, the morning sun rises and shines in the sky over the Yangtze River. The dense fog on the river has dissipated, the eyes have swept over the rolling river, and even the south bank of Dongwu can already be seen, many Cao soldiers have a smile on their faces, and Cai Mao's tightly locked brows have gradually stretched.

However, no one expected that when the fleet bypassed a sandbar in the middle of the river and was about to turn north to pursue, suddenly a burst of drums came from the river. Suddenly, my heart was shocked, and I turned to look, but I saw a column of huge ships sailing out quickly from behind the three islands and the sandbar, forming a line in the center of the river, just blocking the way of Cao's army to the north.

Where did this ship come from?

Don't...... Cai Mao secretly screamed in her heart that it was not good, and when she looked at it, she saw a big "Zhou" word hanging on the building boat in the middle.

Zhou Yu?!

Didn't the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu go to attack Xiangyang, how could they appear here?

Cai Mao's mind turned sharply, he was familiar with water warfare, and at this time he already knew that it was the plan of Duan Dahu and Zhou Yu, it turned out that Eastern Wu did not want to attack Jingzhou, but to lure his main force to attack, so as to annihilate himself in one fell swoop.

Before Cai Mao's sailor approached, the arrows came at a rapid pace, and the sharp arrows either cut through the hull, punctured the sails, or killed the helmsman, or worst of all, nailed to the side of the ship with flames, or on the sails of the mast, and the flames spread throughout the ship.

Cao's army suffered heavy losses before the fleet could get close to Soochow. The few remaining boats that rushed to the front were greeted by iron hooks and cables hanging from the boats, and a rain of arrows in the sky.

The combat power of the Dongwu Naval Division is so strong?

Cai Mao now finally knows why Huang Zu and Eastern Wu of Jiangxia fought several times at that time, and were defeated repeatedly. At this time, since he was already afraid, how could he dare to confront the Dongwu warship head-on? However, at this time, it was no longer possible to return to Wulin, and it was difficult for hundreds of warships to turn around, not to mention that there was a Dongwu warship chasing after him, and the back road had been cut off. He immediately made a decision and gave another order, ordering the warships to go west, avoiding the Eastern Wu naval army, and looking for an opportunity to return to Wulin Water Village.

At this time, the pangolin warship pounced again, and there was a person standing on the top deck of the ship, holding a big knife, it was Duan Dahu. I saw Duan Dahu's knife reflecting the rising sun, the green mangs flashing, and a hurricane slashed down, and a small boat at the head was split in half from it!

Is this the power of the stormy waves?

Can anyone in the world have such martial arts?

Cai Mao sailor panicked and drove into a reed swing. After entering this reed swing for more than ten miles, Cai Mao recovered from the pursuit of the rear army, but the reed swing in front of him almost didn't let him fall off the ship.

This is not a road at all, but a dead place!
