Soldiers come to the world

The sound of drums on the river was loud, and the two armies were fighting together on the river. This was the first appearance of the Jiangdong navy. Strong self-confidence and superb combat level.

On the other hand, Cao Jun's warships, although not too bad, can also arrange formations, but they are far inferior to the Jiangdong Navy in terms of flexibility and coordinated operations.

In less than half an hour, Cao Jun's warships gradually fell into the wind, and they had only the power to parry but not to fight back. One ship after another was sunk, leaving more than [-] of the fifty warships. Only one warship was hit and sunk, and the strength of the two armies was far apart.

At this time, Zhang Yun saw that the situation was not good, and if the entire army was wiped out, it would affect the morale of the army. He immediately ran to Cao Cao and said anxiously: "Prime Minister, I suggest Ming Jin withdraw the troops!"

"Nonsense!" Cao Cao gave him a sharp look, "Who dares to ask Jin to withdraw!"

Zhang Yun was too frightened to say anything, Cao Cao shouted, "Beat me with drums!"

The drums in the water village were loud, encouraging the warships to continue fighting. At this time, the west gate of Cao Jun's water village was quietly opened, and more than [-] large ships with thousands of stones came out of the camp under the leadership of Cai He, the deputy general of the water army. Bypassing the battlefield, he swooped towards Zhou Yu's warship who was watching the battle in the distance.

Although Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu had led Yuan Shao's ships on the Yellow River, they had no experience in fighting the Jiangdong navy or Jiangxia navy. They were obviously weak, and were defeated by the Jiangdong army.

However, the two strictly followed Cao Cao's order. Although they retreated, they did not retreat to the camp, but retreated eastward along the river. , it is impossible for him to break into the water village.

Then, as long as the Cao Jun fleet that is out for battle can be completely wiped out, the Jiangdong army can be boosted. Huang Gai ordered the ships to pursue, and the Cao Jun warship must be completely wiped out.

This is what Zhang Ji said was the weakness of the Jiangdong Navy. They came to challenge for honor, and their desire to compete for merit was extremely strong. Ken retreated easily.

Although Zhang Nan and Jiao Chu's continuous defeats were due to losing to the Jiangdong Army, on the other hand, it was not a tactic to lure troops.

At this time, Cao Jun's warship felt more and more difficult. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great.

At the critical moment, Jiao Touch suddenly heard the sound of drums coming from Dazhai. He looked back and saw dozens of warships encircling the south. He breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hands desperately and shouted: "Hold the enemy! Hold it!"

At this moment, a warship appeared beside him. Huang Gai held a bow and arrow on the bow and stared at Jiao Chu coldly. Shout, forget about defense.

Huang Gai immediately seized this opportunity, stretched his bow and set up an arrow, and shot at the enemy general. Jiao Chu was caught off guard, and the arrow pierced his neck, screaming, and fell into the Yangtze River.

A long time ago, two Jiangdong army water ghosts jumped into the river, cut off the head of Jiaochu, and threw it onto the boat. Huang Gai grabbed the hair, looked at this face, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

But at this moment, the soldiers behind shouted: "General Huang, the captain's warship is in danger!"

As soon as Huang Gai turned his head, he saw more than [-] large warships of Cao Cao chasing the captain's boat. He looked around again and was shocked. Nearly a hundred fast boats came out from Cao Jun's water stronghold, surrounded them from the north, and surrounded them from the east. To the front was entangled by more than [-] defeated ships, to the west was Cao Jun's water stronghold, tens of thousands of crossbowmen were waiting in full force, and to the south were more than [-] large ships of Cao Jun.

Huang Gai suddenly realized that he was going deep alone and violated the taboo of military strategists. At this time, he could not care about defeating the enemy and making meritorious service, so he shouted: "Retreat immediately!"

But it was too late, Cai He led more than [-] warships and couldn't catch up with Zhou Yu's boat, so they turned around and surrounded Huang Gai's warships.

This is the wolf pack tactic, using the absolute superiority in numbers to fight for the Jiangdong Army's water advantage. This is also a weakness of the Jiangdong Army.

Of course, as a civil servant and a famous doctor, Zhang Ji doesn't understand these things, but as a coach and with experience in many battles with the Jiangdong Army, Liu Jing knows the weaknesses of the Jiangdong Army better than anyone else. Dominance, why not do it?

Huang Gai's fleet was surrounded by Cao Jun's warships from all directions. Cao Jun's big ship was condescending, and arrows rained down. The soldiers in Jiangdong were shot down by arrows and fell into the river, and the rest of the soldiers were crushed into the cabin.

At this time, large urns filled with kerosene were thrown from the big ship and smashed on the Jiangdong warship. The flames soared into the air, and the flames burned blazingly.

Huang Gai's eyes were red with anxiety, his warship had already broken out to the edge, but none of the five warships following behind came out, Huang Gai shouted anxiously: "Kill me back!"

All his soldiers hugged him and cried, "General, you can't go back, you will definitely die if you go back."

Huang Gai saw the surrounded warships being burned one by one from a distance. Jiangdong soldiers were covered in flames, screamed and fell into the water, or were shot to death in the bow of the ship. He closed his eyes in pain and slammed his fist on the deck.

At this moment, a large ship rushed from the slant and slammed into Huang Gai's warship, only the sound of the hull breaking was heard, a dozen soldiers all fell into the water, and Huang Gai was also thrown into the river.

A classic wolf pack tactic, together with Huang Gai's ships, wiped out all [-] Jiangdong warships. Cao Jun immediately cheered, and the cheers resounded through the clouds. This was their first victory in a long time.

But Cao Cao couldn't laugh at all. He defeated the Jiangdong army so simply, breaking the fear that the northern army could not defeat the Jiangdong navy.

But with such a simple strategy, Jiang Xiajun told him that Cao Cao had a feeling of being a kite, which was very bad.

At this time, dozens of Cao Jun pushed the captured Huang Gai up. Huang Gai was naked from the upper body and tied up with ropes.

"Kneel down!" Several soldiers forced him to kneel down, but Huang Gai broke free from the soldiers' push, stood upright and looked up at the sky, not looking at Cao Cao.

If it was in the past, Cao Cao would definitely order to untie the rope and go forward to put on the clothes himself, but there must be a prerequisite, that is, the opponent's power is over, and the captured generals have nowhere to go. The opponent will definitely surrender along the steps, such as Yuan Shao or Lu Bu.

But everyone can't do it like this. Otherwise, if they are spit on, or punched and kicked by the other party, then they will lose face. Cao Cao knows this very well.

He knew that Huang Gai would never surrender, so he would not condescend to persuade him to surrender. He just glanced at Huang Gai coldly, and told the left and right: "Put him up! We will deal with it later."

Although Cao Cao didn't want to persuade Huang Gai to surrender, he didn't want to kill him either. He had already thought of a wonderful strategy to defeat the enemy, and Huang Gai was the introduction to this wonderful strategy.

Back in the big tent, Cao Cao sat alone in the tent and pondered for a long time. Since Liu Jing used himself to attack Jiangdong's army, it meant that there was no tacit cooperation between Jiangdong and Jiangxia as imagined. On the contrary, there was an indescribable relationship between them. In fact, Cao Cao also knows what this contradiction is. To put it bluntly, it is interests.

If he can make full use of this contradiction to cause internal strife or discord between Jiangdong Army and Jiang Xia Army, perhaps this will be the key to his final victory.

He needed to send someone to the other side to implement his countermeasures. Thinking of this, Cao Cao immediately ordered: "Let Jiang Gan come to see me!"

Not long after, Jiang Gan was brought into the big tent, he was very shocked. Zhang Ji left him a note, which already meant that Zhang Ji knew in advance that the prime minister was going to summon him. The question is, how did Zhang Ji know?

He didn't dare to meet Cao Cao's eyes, and bowed, "See you, Prime Minister!"

Cao Cao smiled slightly and said, "I remember Zi Yi said that you and Zhou Yu were classmates back then and had a good personal relationship, isn't that right?"

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, it is indeed the case."

"That's good. I want you to go to the other side to meet Zhou Yu. How about Ziyi?"

Jiang Gan was troubled and couldn't speak for a long time. Cao Cao felt a little displeased, but smiled and said, "Why, don't you want to go?"

"It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I failed a mission last time, and I still feel guilty to this day. I have limited abilities, and I'm afraid that I will fail the prime minister's trust again."

Cao Cao laughed, "I'm very pleased that Ziyi thinks this way, but this kind of thing depends on man's plan, and God's decision to make it happen. You just have to do what I say, even if you can't do it, it has nothing to do with you."

Jiang Gan was overjoyed, bowed and said, "I would like to share the worries for the prime minister!"

Cao Cao nodded, "I captured Huang Gai today, you go and tell Zhou Yu that I plan to exchange Huang Gai for Ma Yan, if he refuses to send Ma Yan within three days, I will use Huang Gai to sacrifice the flag! "
