The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 849 Throw in the dead place and then survive, fall into the dead place and then live.

Under the lens of the telescope, a fast boat has left the main fleet of the Han army and is galloping towards the north.

Xu An frowned as he looked at the two Han fleets that were turning around.

The chief general of the Han army navy was so decisive and calm, he was very surprised that the strong man cut off his wrist without hesitation and returned to the army to the east.

But it's too late now. During the period of time when the Han army navy was chasing after them, You Ge's observation ship in this sea area had already seen their movement clearly, and they had already fallen into the encirclement after chasing here. up.

Even if the Han army navy wants to retreat now, it is absolutely impossible to retreat completely, and a corresponding price must be paid.

"Go at full speed, entangle the enemy's ships, and don't let them escape."

Xu An put down the binoculars, he had seen the other party's deployment and situation clearly, and gave the order.

The warship under Xu An's seat is in the shape of a blessing boat, and its size is about the same as the Fengzhou of the Ming Dynasty, but there is still a big gap.

This kind of power to seal the boat generally relies on wind power at sea, but when fighting or mooring in a port, there is auxiliary power without wind power.

There are long oars on both sides and stern of Fuchuan.

This kind of long scull goes deep into the water, swings by many people, and the action of the scull half-rotating underwater is similar to today's propellers, with high propulsion efficiency.

It can also maintain a considerable speed when there is no wind, and can increase the speed of the ship when sailing at sea.

The reason why Xu An boarded the Liaozhou was not only because of its large number of armored soldiers and its strong defense, like a fortress on the sea, but also because of its extremely strong maneuverability.

Even if the battle is really unfavorable, the Liaozhou can quickly leave the battlefield.

The sailing speed of the warships of the Ming army was actually more than a star and a half faster than that of the navy of the Han army.

The reason why the navy of the Han army was able to catch up was also the result of deliberately releasing water all the time.

Xu An has been ordering the fleet to maintain a certain speed, which can ensure that the Han army can catch up little by little, so that they will not be thrown off or overtaken all at once.

The purpose is to lure him to the cliff waters, which is the battlefield Xu An set up for the Han army navy.

Gan Ning and his five warships entered this natural hiding place at night.

The hiding place in the cliff waters here was discovered by the Eagle Wolf Guards when they were investigating Qingzhou. After Xu An learned that the Han Court built a military port here in Weihai in the later generations, he thought of a way to use it.

"Full speed ahead!"

The military orders were issued one after another, and with the sound of the order, the warriors wearing yellow scarves and military uniforms began to shake the long oars on both sides and stern.

The huge long scull stirred the sea water, pushing the Liaozhou to move forward rapidly.

The Liaozhou ordered the flag to dance, and all the ships and ships responded one after another when they saw the Liaozhou ordered the flag to fly.

The frigate following the Liaozhou also had the same device, and the rest of the boats also began to use oars and speed up together.

For a moment, the flags waved over the entire sea, and the thick and powerful sound of Huang Tian's war drum also sounded at this moment.

The sound of the Huangtian war drums assembled in the Ming army was much thicker and more powerful than the sound of ordinary war drums.

The sound of the drums of the Ming army resounded in the ears of every Ming army sailor, impacted their chests, and ignited the fighting spirit in their hearts.

"You are the admiral of the Liaozhou Fleet, you are better at water warfare than me, and you will be in command of the next battle."

Xu An turned his head and handed the order flag to Gongsun Kang.

Gongsun Kang was slightly taken aback, a little puzzled.

"I'll be on the boat watching the big fight, don't let me down."

"promise!"

With a solemn expression, Gongsun Kang bowed to Xu An, and solemnly took the command flag from him.

"In this battle, the final general will live up to the Taoist entrustment."

Xu An's arrangements, as well as the changes in the battle situation, and speculation about the enemy general's psychology have reached the peak, and Gongsun Kang is completely convinced.

When the sea battle on the cliff broke out, Xu An had already said that there were only two possibilities for the Han army.

If you are more aggressive and continue to pursue, if you are more conservative, you will return to the voyage immediately, and the strong man will cut off his wrist, and there will never be a third possibility.

And the current situation is indeed what Xu An said, and things are continuing to go down according to Xu An's speculation.

Accompanied by the shaking sound of victory and the sound of high-spirited war drums, under the leadership of the Liaozhou, dozens of Ming army warships were like arrows leaving the string, and they were attacking the Han army water coming from the north. The teacher rushed straight away.

However, more than ten warships of the Ming army galloped towards their direction.

The change of the Ming army fleet naturally did not escape Zhou Yu's eyes.

Standing on the stern tower, Zhou Yu looked at the Ming army fleet whose speed suddenly increased in the distance, and his heart sank.

He clenched the railing in front of him tightly, his guess was correct, it was indeed a trap.

The speed of the Ming army fleet was faster than theirs, and everything before it was a cover-up, which made him think that he could catch up.

But it was all an illusion made to confuse him. He still claimed to be smart, but now he is being fooled by Xu An.

Zhou Yu did not issue a new military order, he just looked at the Ming army fleet which was obviously faster by a section with a gloomy face.

Since Xu An led the fleet to attack the navy that encircled the north, its purpose was obviously to entangle them, and then wait for the arrival of reinforcements to gather them and annihilate them.

The most correct choice now is to ignore the northern fleet and turn around and evacuate directly. In this way, at least the more than [-] warships under his command can be preserved. If the vanguard fleet led by Sun Ce is added, a total of nearly a hundred ships can be saved. battleship.

He has sent a fast boat to inform the sailors encircled in the north that even if they are entangled, they should be able to escape part of them.

Although in this way, the Han army navy will only be able to hide in the military port, but this is currently the best choice and the most correct choice.

At least in this way, the navy of the Ming army must be a little distracted, so as not to run amok on the sea.

Zhou Yu's expression changed, he was thinking, even though he knew the most reasonable decision, he still couldn't make a decision, because it meant abandoning nearly half of the naval warships.

Just as Zhou Yu was fighting between heaven and man, there was a sudden commotion on the battleship.

"General!"

Zhou Yu followed the enemy pointed by the lieutenant general, and his expression suddenly changed.

The three warships of the Ming army were obviously chasing them before, but now they turned their bows and rushed straight towards Sun Ce.

Sun Ce led the vanguard fleet to charge ahead, but was intercepted by five Ming warships that came suddenly. After receiving his signal, he turned the rudder and turned around in a circle.

Now the distance between them is not far away, and Sun Ce can arrive with his ships immediately, but at this time, the three Ming army warships slanted across the middle of them, separating them again open.

Zhou Yu's expression was deep. If it was someone else, he would give up without hesitation, but now it is Sun Ce who is trapped...

Zhou Yu looked at the three warships lying across the sea, his expressions constantly changing.

At that time, he thought that the target of the Ming army's fleet of more than a dozen warships was him, but he did not expect that the target of the Ming army was the vanguard fleet led by Sun Ce galloping.

It was obvious that Xu An was also eyeing the vanguard fleet rushing to the front, and wanted to cooperate with the three warships to double-team and eat the vanguard fleet led by Sun Ce in one go.

At this time, Zhou Yu was still too young after all, but he had just reached the age of [-]. Although he was smart, he lacked actual combat experience. The only experience of participating in battles was fighting against the Yangzhou rebels with Sun Ce.

At this time, Zhou Yu was not the famous general who strategized in the Battle of Chibi and burned hundreds of thousands of Cao Cao's men to ashes while talking and laughing.

……

"General, our way is blocked!"

There were panic shouts from the soldiers under his command, and there was commotion everywhere, but Sun Ce's expression didn't change much.

He could clearly see the Ming warships blocking the way and the Ming fleet chasing after him, and he was also aware of his current situation.

As long as the Ming army warship blocking the way entangles them for a moment, the following Ming army fleet will arrive and surround them.

The Ming army ships were faster than them, even if they wanted to escape, they would probably be overtaken by the Ming army ships in the end.

At that time, the warships of the Ming army will attack first and occupy the first-hand advantage. With large ships and giant ships as the vanguard, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape the end of a ship being destroyed.

The sea breeze is fast, and the flags are flying.

Sun Ce's expression was cold, and he watched the Ming army ships approaching from behind.

"Get my gun."

The guards guarding Sun Ce's side were slightly taken aback, but they still reacted quickly. Even if they didn't know what to do, they still respected Sun Ce's order and handed over Sun Ce's spear.

Sun Ce grabbed the spear handed by his personal guard.

The cold touch from his hand made Sun Ce feel calm,

"The enemy army is waiting with a net this time, and now we have slammed into the net headlong, and there are enemies in front and behind."

"We are now birds in cages and fish in nets, and it is difficult to escape."

On the battleship, the expressions of all the soldiers changed slightly.

Most of them are from Danyang and Wujun, and they all followed Sun Ce all the way from Yangzhou to the north and south.

In fact, they have already felt the situation in front of them, and it is as difficult as going to the sky to escape.

But now that Sun Ce said it outright, they still couldn't help but panic in their hearts.

"But we haven't lost yet!"

"It's still far from the time to admit defeat!"

Sun Ce took a step forward, looked down at the soldiers on board, and suddenly raised his spear.

"In the past, the Marquis of Huaiyin formed an army with his back to the water, and in a battle at Jingxing, he destroyed Zhao's army of [-] troops, killed Chen Yu, and captured Zhao Wangxie alive."

"Throw it into death and then survive, fall into death and then live!"

"Would you all be willing to follow my Sun Bofu to the place of death?!"

When Sun Ce's voice fell, all the soldiers on the warship were blushing.

At this time, the sound of the war drum slowly sounded, and the warriors of the Han army on the warship beat the long silent war drum again.

"Huh!"

Someone raised a hand and yelled.

"Huh!!!"

More people raised their hands, responding to Sun Ce's words.

"I am willing to follow the general to die and survive!"

"it is good!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Sun Ce held a spear in his hand and laughed loudly.

"It is enough for a strong man not to die, but he will be famous when he dies!"

"If we work together, we will be able to turn the sun around!"

"Turn back to the sun!"

"Turn the rudder!" "Turn the rudder!"

Accompanied by the sound of orders, there is also the sound of the passionate drums.

In this way, Sun Ce's boat circled a large circle above the sea and began to turn left.

The twenty-four warships that followed Sun Ce to evacuate were unknown, so they watched Sun Ce start to turn the bows and did not know what happened.

The flag sent from Sun Ce's boat was extremely simple, only an order to attack.

"Captain..."

Xu Sheng raised his hand, stopped the lieutenant general's words, and shouted angrily.

"The general is charging ahead, how can we escape alone, there are wolves in front, and tigers in the back, we are already trapped to death, now there is a trap to die and then live!"

Xu Sheng looked at Sun Ce's ship which was slowly turning around, and he instantly understood what Sun Ce was thinking.

Throw into death and then survive, fall into death and then live.

"not to mention……"

Xu Sheng gritted his teeth.

"My son from Jiangdong is no coward who abandons his master and general!"

"Bang the drum to show that we are determined to die!"

Above the sea, the sound of war drums was like thunder.

The morale of the Han army rose again at this moment.

"If he doesn't send the semaphore, does Wen Xiang think that he has the guts and that I, Chen Wu, don't!"

Wu Chen suddenly threw the water bowl in his hand on the board of the boat.

"Turn the rudder."

"How can you lose to those Xuzhou people?"

"promise!"

All the soldiers on the warship agreed with a loud bang.

"Let those Xuzhou people who don't know how to swim show the skills of my Lujiang disciples!"

The spear in Chen Wujiang's hand suddenly plunged into the ship's plank, and he shouted angrily.

The intercepted Han warships and the warships of Sun Ce made a total of twenty-five.

When Sun Ce's warship turned to the left and rushed towards the Ming army's rescue fleet, the twenty-five warships all followed Sun Ce's warship and turned to the left without hesitation.

The vanguard fleet is led by Chen Wu and Xu Sheng.

Chen Wu was from Lujiang, Yangzhou, while Xu Sheng was from Langye, Xuzhou.

The leaders of the two are both county soldiers in the county. They have a good personal relationship, but they often argue.

The topic of debate is nothing more than whether Yangzhou people are better or Xuzhou people are better.

However, both of them followed Sun Ce all the way to the south and north, the Yangzhou rebels in the south, Zang Ba in the north, and Qingzhou.

Both of them admired Sun Ce very much, so they became generals under Sun Ce's account.

Because Sun Ce was proficient in water warfare, Cao Cao arranged to control the navy, and the two of them also followed Sun Ce to become members of the navy.

Seeing Sun Ce turn around at this moment, he naturally wouldn't run away alone.

The people on the rest of the warships were basically Sun Ce's old troops. When Sun Ce chose to attack, they also chose to obey the military order without hesitation, and followed Sun Ce's warship to turn slowly.

"Bofu, this is..."

In the distance, Zhou Yu noticed the unexpected situation on Sun Ce's side.

He had already planned to rescue Sun Ce despite the danger of being encircled.

But the choice Sun Ce made now made him feel a little sad.

He understood Sun Ce's choice in an instant.

Throw into death and then survive, fall into death and then live.

Sun Ce wanted to find the last ray of life in this doomed situation.
