Chapter 165 Borrowing the wind?

Near the waters of Dongshan, two fleets fought with each other, boats collided, arrows flew across the sky, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

"Captain, avoid the arrows!"

Brother Huo Xiong raised his shields to the left and right to protect Huo Jun behind him.

Today, Huo Jun originally wanted to compete with Navy Master Zhou Yu to understand the opponent's strength.Huo Jun divided the fleet into five teams. Gan Ning and Ding Feng had just left, but unexpectedly, Jiangdong Navy generals went crazy. Jiang Qin and Ling Tong drove their boats and rushed straight towards Huo Jun's flagship in the formation.

Jingzhou Navy's small ships were unable to withstand the large ships operated by Jiang Qin and Ling Tong. Those who were afraid even sailed to avoid them.

When they reached the vicinity of Huo Jun's flagship, Jiangdong Navy's arrows flew in as if they were free. The arrows whizzed through the air, and then clattered down. Although most of them were stuck on the deck, a few of them were still shot. He was caught in the water and everyone was frightened to protect Huo Jun.

"boom!"

The stone bullet hit the lake and splashed water several meters high.

Huo Jun faced the arrows in the air, but he was not afraid. He shouted loudly: "Shoot! Let the surrounding ships surround and kill."

"promise!"

Captain Li Wei directed the sailors on the deck to fire arrows as a counterattack.

The flagship was stabilized, and Gao Xiang led the navy to surround and attack them from both sides. Unfortunately, Jingzhou's boat was short.Except for Gao Xiang's large stern ship, the other small boats can attack the large Jiangdong ship with their backs and throw arrows into the sky, making it difficult for the Jiangdong sailors on the large ship to be affected.But those Jiangdong navy can condescendingly strike with arrows.

A fighting boat of the Jingzhou navy was set on fire by arrows. Dozens of arrows were inserted into the fast horse boat. Several sailors were hit by arrows and fell to the deck.The Jingzhou sailors held up their shields and hurriedly maneuvered their fast horses to move around the ship to avoid the ship's arrows.

A fleet of ships could not capture Jiang Qin's troops, so Chen Yue led ships to surround him.Only by attacking with numbers and numbers, these Jiangdong naval forces who penetrated deep into the boats were restrained.

On the stern, Huo Jun no longer had the cool spirit of the past. He hid behind his shield in embarrassment and directed the soldiers to fight.

"Captain, most of our army's ships are in the hands of Gan Zhonglang, so we cannot fight with the enemy's ships for a long time."

As he spoke, Jiang Ji, who was wearing armor, pointed to the dozen or so Jiangdong ships heading towards the fleet and said, "Zhou Yu has sent another large ship to help. He wants to encircle and destroy the governor's ship. Please temporarily ask the governor to withdraw his troops."

Huo Jun blocked Jiang Ji's body with the shield in his hand, then raised his head to watch the battle. As Jiang Ji said, Gan Ning's ship was dragged by the Jiangdong fleet, and Zhou Yu sent another ship to try to encircle and suppress his flagship.

"it is good!"

Huo Jun, who tested the combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong Navy, shouted loudly: "Ming Jin, withdraw the troops. Don't be reluctant to fight."

"promise!"

The naval battle between the two armies lasted from morning to noon. Jingzhou Navy took the lead and retreated, while Gan Ning led his troops to the rear.Zhou Yu did not gain much advantage in this battle, and he was not willing to let Huo Jun retreat easily, so he pursued him all the way to the water village.Forced back by the hidden stakes and powerful crossbows prepared by Zhuge Liang in advance, Huo Jun successfully returned to the army.

"Captain, I'm so happy!"

Jiang Qin grinned and said with a smile.

The war had been going on for so long, and they had rarely achieved any results.Now they returned to the familiar water battle and achieved a small victory, which made them, the frontline generals, really happy.

Returning to Fujiao Mountain Water Village, Zhou Yu, who had returned victorious, said with a smile: "Although it was a trial today, Huo Jun retreated despite the difficulties. With the water battle, our army can still protect itself in Wuhui's territory. "

The pressure on Zhou Yu was great. If he could not gain the advantage in a head-on water battle, the morale of the army would probably plummet and the sergeants would want to surrender.Today's small victory, although the result is not big, is rare and valuable.Zhou Yu made a declaration to appease people's hearts.

"Yes!" Everyone agreed. …

Jingzhou Water Village, in the big tent.

"What about Zhongmiao?" Zhuge Liang asked.

Huo Jun took off his bun, his hair was messy, shook his head, and said: "The strength of Jiangdong Navy is still there, and the soldiers rely on big ships and dare to fight."

The first confrontation between the two sides ended, with the Jiangdong Navy slightly superior.The Jingzhou navy suffered few casualties, with 600 casualties. However, with the brave fighting of Gan Ning, Ding Feng, and Gao Xiang, although the boat was small, it still captured two fighting boats and killed more than [-] Jiangdong sailors.

Gao Xiang used a boat model to demonstrate and said: "Captain, today's test confrontation shows the advantages and disadvantages of our small ships. The big ship in Jiangdong is condescending and shoots it with arrows. Our army needs to attack the big ship with its back, and dare not approach the big ship for fear of being attacked by it. However, my boat was able to turn around due to its small size and was able to tangle with the big boat."

"Exactly!"

Ding Feng said: "Gan Zhonglang and I led our troops into Jiangdong's ship array. Gan Zhonglang led his large ships to attack the enemy ships fiercely. Feng led his small boats to swim among them. Jiangdong's large ships could not control them."

Gan Ning patted the table helplessly and said: "Our navy soldiers are brave, but due to the scarcity of large ships, we cannot win. If we have large ships in hand, we will definitely be able to defeat the Jiangdong Navy."

Jiang Ji hesitated a little and said: "Captain, Ji once heard that there are hundreds of ships and fighting boats in Jingzhou. Now the navy's boats are small. Can you please ask Jingzhou's big ships to support them?"

Huo Jun shook his head and said: "If Liu Jingzhou is the director, he will definitely agree. But it may be difficult for the Cai family to isolate the inside and outside."

When Huang Zu's navy was destroyed, Liu Biao decisively deployed a large number of navy from Nanjun to support Yuzhang.But as Liu Biao became increasingly unwell, the Cai siblings took control of the inside and outside. Liu Biao could only see what they wanted him to see.Unless the impact of the matter is too great and cannot be concealed.

"Kong Ming, when will the Yuzhang ship be built?"

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said: "In about half a year, Yuzhang can produce more than [-] large ships such as sterns and fighting ships."

After a pause, Zhuge Liang suggested: "Zhongmiao, it's better to wait for a few months. When autumn comes, not only will the rain fall, but our army will also be able to get Yuzhang's big ship."

"or?"

Zhuge Liang changed his tone and said: "Although Liang is not familiar with water battles, he also knows that in water battles, fire attack is the best."

Gan Ning interrupted and said: "The military counselor knows the pros and cons of a fire attack, so why don't we generals know the pros and cons of a fire attack. Our army lacks the southwest wind. I wonder if the military counselor can borrow the southwest wind for our army?"

"Borrowing the wind?"

"The southeast wind is strong today. If Liang is not a god, how can he borrow the southwest wind." Zhuge Liang said calmly: "Although there is no southwest wind, Liang heard the words of Bo Yu, and there is always a transformation between the southeast wind and the south wind in the water. "

Hearing this, Huo Jun raised his head and glanced at Zhuge Liang, laughing secretly in his heart.Not only can you set up an altar to borrow wind, but you can also perform the seven-star lantern method to borrow longevity.

"south wind?"

Gan Ning frowned and said: "It is quite difficult to use the south wind to attack with fire. Zhou Yu is in the east, which is conducive to seizing the southeast wind direction; since he is in the southeast direction, it is very easy to turn to the south direction. It is really difficult for our army to occupy the wind direction. The advantage is to use the method of attacking with fire."

Huo Jun, who had been silent for a long time, smiled and said, "Why can't the southeast wind attack with fire?"

"The Governor!"

Everyone in the tent looked at Huo Jun, who was standing in front of the sand table, with confusion, surprise, and even surprise in their eyes.
