Chapter 30 Jiangling Water Battle
Skillfully raising and lowering the sails, using the currents to advance and retreat skillfully, the people on the merchant ships are obviously excellent sailors who have experienced many battles.

The Jingzhou navy on Cao Jun's side subconsciously felt that they had encountered a hard stubble, and the enemy's whereabouts were unknown. The best way should be to stay still for the time being and wait until dawn to make plans-could it be possible for such a few ships to go directly? Can Jiangling be picked?
But now the situation is stronger than humans, and the status of these surrendered Jingzhou troops is slightly higher than that of dogs. Jiao Chu on the shore keeps ordering them to fight, so they can only bite the bullet and sail, chasing those strange merchant ships in the night.

The Qu Zhang who caused the trouble before seemed to sense something, and quickly ordered his men to sail the boat, taking the lead in chasing after the civilian boats.

Water battles are different from land battles. Land fighters can make up for the gap by fighting hard, but the advantage of large ships in water battles is too obvious. Cao Jun can carry 200 people. overturned.

While Jiao Chu commanded, he watched anxiously.

Speaking of which, he was still a little nervous. He was not as arrogant as Cao Ren, and he knew that if the enemy came, there must be something wrong with these broken boats coming to lure the enemy.

But he didn't know how to get things done with a few ships. If he reported hastily, Prime Minister Cao would definitely think he was incompetent. As a surrendered general, he might never get the chance to control the army again.

After pondering for a long time, Jiao Touch still cautiously chose not to expand his momentum, and first see if these water troops can catch the enemy.

Damn it, what's going on with Cao Ren and the others, these people are obviously from the lower reaches, didn't they meet when they left?
·
Cao Jun's navy dispatched more than 30 large ships at a time, and the scene was really huge. The ability of these naval forces to control large ships has been deeply rooted in their bones. In addition, no one commanded them blindly, and they immediately showed extremely high combat qualities.

It can be said that just those few broken ships, even if they are all the main force of the Jiangdong Navy, they are definitely not their opponents.

"Chase, don't let them get away!"

At least one or two people must be caught, otherwise there will be no way to do business. The boats of Cao Jun's navy did not dare to neglect, and everyone chased them all the way with the north wind and current. The two sides raced wildly on the vast river, and soon left the Jiangling waterway.

Could it be that a group of water thieves approached and fled with a guilty conscience when they saw Cao Jun's big boat as a thief?

Due to the lack of command, many of Cao Jun's small boats were too lazy to chase, only a few large boats could not turn around, so they simply insisted on chasing.

The river was cold and windy, and the sergeant standing at the bow kept shivering, cursing the enemy for being shameless, and at the same time curious about the enemy's identity. They were in a hurry to pursue them, and suddenly they saw many boats coming out of the river, the lights flickering on the bow, and a sound A heavy drumbeat exploded like thunder.

dong dong dong...

It's not that these sailors have never encountered an ambush on the river. They resisted the cold wind and drew their knives in their hands. The Qu Zhang who caused the trouble before took a deep breath and shouted loudly:
"I don't know which hero is coming!"

His voice was rough and loud, and soon, a loud voice sounded from the other side of the boat:

"I am Guan Ping, General of the Han Dynasty. Under the orders of the General Zuo and the General Who Besiege Captives, I will crusade against non-officials and Han thieves! Now that Cao Ren has been defeated and Zhang Yun has surrendered, General Zuo will lead the army to defeat Cao. Why don't you lords join us?" Fight and help the Han Dynasty!"

Guan Ping didn't learn anything else in Jiangdong, and his bragging skills really improved a lot.

Speaking of Cao Ren's defeat and Zhang Yun's surrender, his face was already blushing, and his voice was generous and powerful, which immediately attracted many people to exclaim.

Speaking of which, although Liu Bei had a bad relationship with Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and Kuai Yue in the past few years in Jingzhou, their conflict was only about the issue of Liu Biao's heir, and Liu Cong only married the niece of the Cai family. That's why the Cai family gave their full support.Now that Liu Cong has no use value, the enmity between Cai Mao and Liu Bei has disappeared miraculously, not to mention these ordinary soldiers - just Liu Bei's popularity, who would have a grudge against him in Jingzhou soldiers?
For a while, the sound of wind and water on the river was still continuous, but the thousands of people on the river were silent for a while, silent and unaware of what happened.

You have to figure out something in a war, you can't really fight Guan Ping and the others for their lives, can you?
Guan Ping calmly looked at the people on the boat, feeling confident.

Lu Yi's idea is to launch a fire attack immediately, burn the big ships by the river, and then take advantage of the chaos to find a reliable landing area along the long river bank of Jiangling. , Maybe it will also cause the common "battle roar" in this era. When Cao Cao regains his senses and catches up, they will have already escaped by taking advantage of their flexibility.

Liu Dun also agreed with this idea. As one of the traditional tactics of water warfare, Liu Beijun had already prepared thatch in these boats (it can be used for heating if it is not needed), and it is not difficult to set fire.

But Guan Ping thought about it for a long time, and finally rejected this suggestion when he approached Jiangling.

They don't have many ships, even if the fire attack is successful, it will not be able to cause a devastating blow to Cao Jun, and Cao Jun will be on guard later.

He vaguely remembered that Yun Shanshan once told himself that it was a very risky thing to fight against the strong with the weak, and one had to make many friends and few enemies in order to have a chance of winning.

Little people like Huang Si have the value of uniting and fighting, not to mention the Jingzhou Army who had no enmity before.

Guan Ping thought over and over again, determined to take the risk himself, and led Cao Jun's navy to the river. Without the command of Cao Jun on the shore, he would have a chance to recruit these Jingzhou navy.

"Fathers and brothers, the Cao bandits are not good at water warfare, and they all fight by the public. It's freezing today, but they live in Jiangling, extorting tyranny, and the kings have no food and clothing, and they have to brave the cold wind to advance. Do you want to fight for the enemy? Brothers and sisters with us? Please think twice!"

Guan Ping said it several times, but everyone remained silent.

Liu Dun shook his head on the side, and couldn't help but chant:

"I just said, I just said, how can it be so easy? These people have wives and children to see Jiangling, how can they be persuaded by a few words? Besides, Cao Jun is powerful, and it is his nature to follow others. The little general has Meng Lang this time..."

Guan Ping couldn't help but feel a little discouraged when he saw that everyone was silent, but none of them was moved.

Sure enough, Yun Shanshan was able to handle those scoundrels because she showed extraordinary force. She was already weak, but it was really difficult to recruit others to surrender.

However, even though it was too dark to see the faces of Cao Jun soldiers in front of him clearly, he could faintly hear soft sobs coming from around him.

These soldiers of Cao Jun are not willing to be enemies with themselves.

Maybe, there is still a little special plane!

Guan Ping wanted to say more, but suddenly heard a long sigh, and soon, a large number of Cao Jun's ships appeared on the river, Lu Yi saw the formation of the large ships, and his heart skipped a beat.

"No, let's go, Cao Jun's famous sailor is coming!"

Guan Ping looked into the distance, and by the dim light of the enemy ship's bow, he vaguely saw the large characters flying and flying on the military flag.

arts!
