The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 234 What is the meaning of "investing against the wind"

Almost none of the Cao soldiers who came from the north were good at rowing.

Although some of the Jingzhou soldiers knew how to draw.

But in recent years, they have been mainly responsible for defending the local area and rarely take the initiative to go out to fight.

The navy of Jiangdong fought in the Yangtze and Huaihe River regions all year round.

They have also eliminated bandits in various waters of Poyang Lake, so they don't need any special training.

The sailors were all strong and capable, with calluses all over their faces from the scratches.

My arms are as thick as my thighs.

How could the boat not be fast once it starts rowing?

So even if there is headwind and current, their speed does not decrease at all.

The speed is about the same as that of the Jingzhou navy going downstream.

Before the people in Jingzhou could react, they were already right in front of them!
Look at the Jiangdong troops in front with their fishing boats.

At this time, everyone stood up, took off their hats and raincoats.

Their bare chests were exposed, and each of them was as strong as a frog!
Then they all turned around and jumped into the river with a splash.

This really stunned northerners like Yu Jin!

He thought they were assassins arranged by Zhou Yu.

They were driving fishing boats specifically to ram their flagship!
At the moment, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised:

"These Jiangdong bandits are so cunning that they abandoned their boats and fled immediately?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Wen Pin beside him anxiously say:

"How can this be called running away? They are clearly idiots!"

"What is a water strip?" Yu Jin was immediately confused.

Cai Mao on the side quickly explained:
"The so-called water cops are sailors who specialize in going into the water, commonly known as water ghosts."

"A person who is good at swimming can stay in the water for hours without coming out!"

"If they had brought a hammer and a chisel."

"If you swim under the boat and start digging, our boat will leak!"

"What?!" Yu Jin was shocked when he heard that!
He immediately stood up and looked down.

Several personal guards around him were even more nervous.

Just lie on the deck and listen to the movements below!
Everyone present immediately looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy!

Cai Mao was also a little embarrassed when he saw this, and quickly spoke to comfort him:

"General, please be at ease. Those water ghosts are far away from us!"

"There are several rows of boats in between. No matter how powerful they are, they can't swim so fast."

"But it's hard to say about the ship ahead."

Wen Pin on the side has always been pragmatic.

I don't want to waste time with them.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, he immediately took over the responsibility.

He snatched the command power from Yu Jin and quickly mobilized the surrounding soldiers to fight the enemy!
And just here the order was given.

There was a series of loud noises coming from the front!
Apparently the warship in the front row had collided with the fishing boat.

Because of the different speeds of the boats, some fishing boats fell apart and some capsized.

Some were pressed underwater by the warships, but they all slowed down as they shook.

Not only was the boat behind affected, but there were also broken pieces of wood all over the water.

At this time, the fragments of the ship's side were scattered on the river surface, and the battlefield was in chaos.

Those tower ships and warships were also unable to pass through the wreckage.

And slowly it stopped.

Seeing this, Wen Pin immediately became angry.

He slapped his thigh urgently:
"Ah! We're at a disadvantage right from the start!"

"Zhou Yu is such a calculating kid!"

Yu Jin was also confused when he heard this.

The two sides haven't even started fighting yet, so why are they at a disadvantage?

But just as the main warships of Dongwu were approaching.

At this time, they began to shoot arrows at them from a long distance.

The Jiangdong army on the opposite side was clearly well-trained.

Don't shoot the soldiers holding weapons, just shoot the sailors rowing over there!
After a hail of arrows, the ships without sailors could not move.

Then, the command flag was seen waving on the Jiangdong Tower ship opposite.

More than a dozen warships suddenly rushed over together!
There is no difference between the warships of the Eastern Wu and those of Cao's army.

It’s just that the flags of the double swords were different. At this time, the axeman at the bow of the Jiangdong ship started chopping wildly.

The protective plates of the Jingzhou navy warships were smashed into pieces.

Then, more than a dozen hooks were thrown out and hooked onto the side of Cao's ship. Behind the hooks were ropes, and the Jiangdong soldiers pulled the ropes.

Shouting menacing slogans, they pulled Cao's ship over in a few seconds.

This set of operations was smooth and the cooperation between the soldiers was orderly.

This is enough to show the gap between the Jiangdong navy and the Jingzhou navy.

Moreover, before the ships of both sides came close to each other, some Jiangdong soldiers had already jumped over.

As soon as he stood firm on his feet, he held the ring-handled knife and the hook.

Dealing with the Jingzhou troops was like cutting melons and vegetables!
The Jingzhou soldiers under Cai Mao's command were not strong enough to fight on land.

Water Kung Fu is practiced on the lake.

If there is no wind or waves, you can still try your luck, but once you are on the river, it's all over.

They could only be beaten by the Jiangdong Army.

I have fought with Jiangdong for many years and have never won.

Moreover, they were newly surrendered troops and had no courage to resist when attacked.

They made symbolic gestures one by one.

If they couldn't win the fight, they would drop their weapons, jump into the water, and swim desperately towards the shore.

It can be said that, with the wind and the waves going your way, how much sorrow can you have?
And those elite Cao troops came from the north.

I was already feeling dizzy after sitting on the boat for several days in a row.

At this time, the enemy jumped over and the boat began to shake.

These landlubbers are lucky enough not to fall down, how can they still have the ability to resist?
Looking at the soldiers of Jingzhou fleeing, he did not dare to jump into the water with them.

One by one, they could only lean on the boat and wait to die.

At this time, Yu Jin saw that the morale of the army was so low.

My whole body was numb!

He just heard someone talk about the tricks of water battles a few days ago.

I saw it with my own eyes today and realized the difference between it and land warfare.

After a long time, he recovered and shouted loudly:
"Quick! Stop those people!"

"Those who are afraid of fighting will be killed without mercy!"

As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain collapsing. This happens once someone starts to run away.

Then the entire Jingzhou navy will be defeated!

Wen Pin next to him was also sweating profusely due to anxiety.

He waved his hand and commanded the entire army.

If this could have saved him, he would have been saved a long time ago.

It collided with other ships and slowed down, and it was so crowded that it couldn't move at all.

At this point, the more ships there are, the more trouble there is.

After great effort, several warships were finally mobilized.

Squeeze through the airtight seams of the boat.

We were about to get close to the enemy ship and prepare to shoot arrows!
But the ship in the front suddenly stopped.

Then it sank slowly.

It was obvious that the bottom of the boat had been pierced by those water ghosts!

These ships were used as protective ships.

The ones selected were all sharpshooters from the Northern Army.

I originally thought that if I didn't get close to the enemy I wouldn't fall into the water.

But who would have thought that this time they would sink with the ship!

Besides, only a few of them can swim, even if some of them can doggy paddle.

Can you survive in the stormy Yangtze River?
For a while, people drowned one after another.

The screams were endless.

The rescue boat ran around but couldn't save many people.

Most of them drowned.

The worst thing is that the Jiangdong water ghost would emerge from the water from time to time.

He pulled the sailors who were saving people into the water!

For a moment, the river surface was a horrible sight.

The navy of Jingzhou was originally in high spirits, and their morale was high as they sailed down the river.

But they could only be beaten unilaterally, and the morale of the army was immediately broken.

There were also many soldiers on both sides of the strait, looking anxious.

After great effort, Cao's army finally opened up their formation.

But in the blink of an eye, those Jiangdong troops had disappeared!
