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

Chapter 261: Victory in the First Battle - Attack and Defense Are Easy

Chapter 261: A Victory in the Battle

So in the end, both sides chose the same strategy as if they had tacit understanding.

Keep your troops on hold and wait for the opportunity.

But this confrontation is inherently unfair.

After all, this is not just a battle of perseverance between the generals of the two armies.

It is also a competition of the overall strength of the two camps.

To put it bluntly, war is about food and supplies.

The Jingzhou navy has the support of the imperial court and the Central Plains and Hebei region.

With the money and grain supply of half of Jingzhou, it would be more than enough to survive until next year.

Zhou Yu only had the six counties of Jiangdong.

Moreover, there is still unrest behind him, and now the Shanyue are rebelling.

The opposition voices of the capitulationists are growing louder and louder.

Zhou Yu was defending the enemy in the front, while Sun Quan was bearing the pressure in the rear.

How long can it sustain such internal and external difficulties?

Besides, Yu Jin only has the main navy.

There is also the Jiangxia navy under Zhang Liao's command, which relies on each other.

Xu Huang, who was stationed near Jiangling, had a total force of nearly 40,000.

If the stalemate continues, they will have the advantage.

And just when Yu Jin was ready to continue like this.

News came that we had won the battle of Xiakou.

He immediately saw that the balance of victory was beginning to tilt towards his side.

This made Yu Jin feel proud.

Jingzhou immediately got rid of its previous decline!

So it seemed that Zhou Yu was ready to take a conservative stance.

The main navy of Jingzhou stationed in Wulin is also ready to move!

And Xiakou had just won the battle.

He is determined to give the man a beating when he is down.

He also sent warships to the Jiangnan camp every day to provoke.

Shoot arrows today and beat drums tomorrow.

The next day, he again cursed Zhou Yu by name.

Let the Jiangdong Army be annoyed and angry but dare not take action!

But Zhou Yu had no good countermeasure for the drama and did not dare to accept the challenge.

Soldiers were only allowed to use bows and arrows for defense and were not allowed to attack.

Seven days passed like this, and it was the afternoon of the eighth day.

The river suddenly became lively.

The soldiers under his command reported that the Jingzhou navy was mobilized in large numbers and was coming towards them with great momentum.

Zhou Yu was also surprised when he heard this, but he did not dare to fight easily.

He only ordered the navy to line up along the coast and wait for the enemy to tire themselves out.

He also went to the riverside in person to check the formation.

I saw dark clouds rolling and strong winds blowing.

Under the gray sky, flags were densely packed and drums were beating loudly.

Hundreds of warships of all sizes lined up in a long snake formation, advancing in unison and stretching for several miles.

Pressing towards their own camp, it would be easy to deal with if the enemy really rushed over.

They have already given orders to draw their bows and arrows and wait.

When I come, I will fight head-on.

What’s infuriating is that they just don’t rush over.

They stopped less than three hundred meters away from their camp.

This distance is just beyond the range of bows and arrows.

Everyone could see it clearly but couldn't shoot.

I watched helplessly as the person on the other side showed off his power and challenged me.

But there is nothing we can do. Isn't this a deliberate provocation?

Zhou Yu had been through hundreds of battles and had won more battles than lost since his debut.

He has always been the one to incite others to fight.

But today, the other side played such a trick on me.

Seeing this situation, I was already furious!

But as a head coach, he remains cool-headed.

The enemy is now in high spirits and has a large number of troops.

However, our side had just suffered a major defeat and morale was now low.

Once a confrontation occurs, you will not gain much advantage.

If your vitality is seriously damaged, the subsequent battles will be more difficult to fight.

So he suppressed his anger and issued a military order:
"When the enemy troops approached, our army responded with arrows."

"If you only shout but don't fight, you can't take the initiative to fight!"

As a result, the atmosphere on the battlefield became extremely weird.

The Jingzhou soldiers on the river shouted loudly until they were hoarse.

But on the shore it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Zhou Yu had led his troops to attack Jiangxia, and had won many battles before. But now it seemed that the offense and defense had changed!
At this time, the soldiers under Gan Ning's command were standing at the bow of the ship.

Flags were waved and curses were shouted.

At first, they just laughed at Cao's army for not daring to fight.

The insults became more and more harsh.

In the end, it was all Jingzhou dialect that the people of Jiangdong could not understand.

This time when Zhou Yu went north to fight against Cao, everything went smoothly.

But just as he began to incorporate Zhuge Liang's 30,000 troops.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse!

First, Gan Ning attacked the camp at night, and then the navy suffered a severe defeat.

Now the enemy is blocking us at our doorstep and scolding us.

How could the soldiers not be angry?
However, the arrows could not reach the other side, and because of the strict military orders, they did not dare to go into battle on their own.

I can only grit my teeth and suppress my anger.

The soldiers couldn't hold it any longer and put down their bows and arrows.

Shout back at the top of your voice.

The two sides began to engage in a war of words.

The people of Jiangdong called the other side "traitors who surrendered to the Han Dynasty" and "slaves of the second minister."

The people in Jingzhou ridiculed Jiangdong as southern barbarians, rebels and bandits.

Someone shouts “Southern Barbarians” here, and someone replies “Northern Barbarians”!
For a while, all kinds of dirty words were flying around.

This stalemate lasted for about an hour.

Suddenly, the two sides of the fleet separated.

A large ship emerged from the center of the water formation.

A double-decker battleship is more than thirty meters long.

It is equipped with two towering masts and the bow is carved with taotie patterns.

There were two large flags hanging high, one of which was inscribed with "General Who Suppresses Bandits".

On one side was written a huge word "Zhang".

Everyone knew at a glance that this was the main ship of Zhang Liao, the commander of Xiakou.

The oars of the boat moved together, like a big fish breaking free from its reins, and it rushed straight towards the north shore.

For a moment, even the generals commanding the front were a little confused!
I wondered if Zhang Liao was crazy?

Do we have to break into their camp as the main general?

But the soldiers didn't care about that, and finally a boat dared to approach.

Immediately, he kept working and fired thousands of arrows.

All I could hear was the continuous sound of "dong dong dong".

Countless arrows pierced Zhang Liao's boat.

But the boat was obviously equipped with protective planking, and the soldiers rowing were hiding behind the planks.

Zhang Liao and his subordinates sat safely in the deck, unharmed.

The Jiangdong soldiers had been holding a grudge for several days.

At this moment, I wish I could just pour it all out!
Both the navy and the infantry tried their best.

They greeted Zhang Liao's main ship round after round!

It seems like it will never stop.

However, the boat seemed to be strolling leisurely and leisurely across the water.

He remained unmoved by the rain of arrows.

When Cao Jun saw this scene, he became even more angry!

In a short while, one side of the boat was riddled with arrows, like a hedgehog.

"Cum! Keep cumming!"

"Shoot a hole in this boat!"

The leaders Xu Sheng and Jiang Qin shouted loudly at this time.

They were originally responsible for supervising the rear team.

Now he ran to the front with his personal soldiers.

It’s just because Pan Zhang and Ling Tong usually treat him as brothers.

Now one of them is in a prison camp, and his life or death is unknown.

How could they not hate each other?
At this time, Xu Sheng was still not satisfied watching others shooting arrows.

He even snatched the longbow from the soldier beside him.

Bend the bow and put the arrow on it yourself.

In a blink of an eye, the opposite boat was filled with countless arrows.

The ship faced north on its left and south on its right.

The arrows shot by the Jiangdong army were concentrated on the left side.

At this time, the combined weight of thousands of arrows is not light.

The hull gradually tilted a little.

Everyone became even more excited when they saw this!
I thought I could just shoot a few more arrows and knock it over.

Drowned Zhang Liao, the enemy commander.

Who knew that the other ship just turned around slowly.

Let the right side also be hit by the arrow.
