Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 591 The Battle of Chibi

In 203 A.D., June NO.15, Guan Yu has been conscripted in the name of the commander-in-chief of Wu's three armies. He has jurisdiction over the ninth, tenth, and No.11 legions, the Eight Banners of the Grassland, and the Jingzhou Navy, with a total of 18 troops. He officially issued the battle of crossing the river. Order.

Yuan Xi's slogan "It is better to chase down the poor with bravery, not to be famous and learn to be the overlord" was spread throughout the army.

At the same time, Sun Quan ordered Tai Shici to be the general of Wu Guozhen, and Ling Cao to be the governor of the navy. With the strength of the whole country, he had [-] infantry and [-] navy, stationed in Fankou and Chaisang.

On the morning of the 22nd, Guan Yu ordered [-] Jingzhou naval divisions, including [-] elite infantry, led by Cai Mao and Wen Pin, to send troops out of Wulin Water Village to mop up Wu's naval forces.

On the same day, Ling Cao, the governor of the navy, led Wu Guo's [-] navy and [-] warships out of Fankou to meet Cai Mao.

On the vast river of Chibi, when thousands of sails compete and hundreds of boats compete, thousands of warships, large and small, fill up the tens of miles wide river, especially the one in Jingzhou, which is condescending, like the emperor in the water. The building boats are even more majestic and majestic. On the leading building boat, Cai Mao is holding on to the hilt of his sword and wearing thick armor, surrounded by dozens of generals of the navy.

Looking at the Wu Guoshui army who was waiting in full force and the warships were arranged reasonably, Cai Mao nodded appreciatively, and said: "According to the plan of the military division, send a small boat to persuade Ling Tong, the general situation of the world is determined, as long as he is willing to submit, This Marquis, the captain of the navy, can give it to him.”

"promise!"

On the flagship of the Soochow navy, a veteran with calm eyes stood proudly. He was the only general in Wu who could lead the navy to battle.

Looking at the densely packed and well-equipped Jingzhou navy on the opposite side, Ling Cao clenched his fists tightly, with sadness in his eyes. Although the number of his warships seemed to be quite a lot, only he knew that, except for some generals, Except for the captain, he has no generals at all. Once a fierce battle breaks out, perhaps in an instant, the once brilliant Wu Guoshui army will collapse.

"Captain" Thinking of this, Ling Cao couldn't help but murmured, Pingchang was defeated, Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Lu Meng, Zhu Ran, Lu Kang, Xu Sheng, these were once much stronger than him The generals of the navy, who die, who are captured.

Except for these warships, the Wu Kingdom's water army is just an empty shell. If the king hadn't rewarded the soldiers with the treasury, the soldiers would have mutinied long ago. will be on the brink of collapse.

"Father, Cai Mao sent someone here." At this time, a young man who was very handsome, strong, and as fierce as a tiger suddenly stood behind Ling Cao and said loudly.

Ling Cao's eyes were fixed, and he looked over immediately, only to see a walking boat leaving the formation of the navy and heading towards them at a high speed.

"My Lord Marquis, I have something to say to Dudu Ling," an envoy stood on the deck and shouted after walking by the scriptures.

"Father"

Ling Cao frowned, hesitated for a while, and ordered: "Bring him up here!"

"promise!"

After the envoy arrived at the flagship, he looked at Ling Cao who was standing calmly, cupped his fists and said, "The young general pays his respects to the commander-in-chief."

"You don't need to be too polite, just say what you have to say." Ling Cao asked indifferently.

"Great governor, the general situation in the world is divided. Except for Jiangdong, all of them are the land of my Great Yan. To unify the overall situation, why should the governor be disobeying the destiny? Lord Hou said that as long as the governor is willing to surrender, he will not only get the king With a heavy reward, even Jingzhou's navy can be handed over to the governor to manage," the envoy said with a smile.

Ling Cao turned his eyes and said disdainfully: "This general is not your Marquis. He surrendered without fighting. Although Dayan is strong, I, Wu Guo, are not afraid."

"The governor has been brave all his life, so he is naturally fearless, but the governor doesn't want to know what happened to those Jiangdong generals?" The envoy said softly, these are what Xu Shu told him.

Ling Cao's pupils shrank, and he said, "I don't believe this general, the majestic Yan, the first king in troubled times, and the founding lord of the country, Yuan Xi, would despicably surrender!"

"Haha, of course not. Governor Zhou, Dr. Lu, Lu Meng, Xu Sheng, Zhu Ran and other generals are currently in Yecheng. Their lives are very good. They will soon move to Shendu to participate in the founding hall. They We all hope that the generals can participate in this prosperous world together, and at the same time hope that Wu Guo can return to Dayan in a peaceful way." The envoy laughed loudly.

"You are talking nonsense, the governor would never say such a thing." Ling Tong, the son of Ling Cao, immediately stood up angrily when he heard this. In his heart, Zhou Yu is the most loyal to Jiangdong. How could he say something worthless? .

"The young general is not talking nonsense, because the governors and the others are very clear that it is impossible to hold Jiangdong. If this is the case, why bother to let the soldiers suffer casualties in vain. Even if you can win, you will kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. We Dayan has the entire world as its foundation, countless people, and endless wealth, even if you lose a hundred times, it doesn't matter, can you do it in Jiangdong?" The envoy shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Ling Cao immediately stood up expressionlessly, and said firmly: "Eat the king's salary, share the worries for the king, we wait for the generals, regardless of the future, only for the king's life, even if we die, we will have no regrets. You go back and tell Cai Hao that you don’t need to worry about it anymore, I will swear to live and die with Wu, and if you have the courage, you will attack.”

The envoy was taken aback for a moment, and then sighed: "General, why is this necessary? In fact, everyone knows that the state of Wu has long since come to an end, and internal chaos continues. Apart from these warships, there is nothing left."

"No, we still have the backbone to be a general," Ling Cao said firmly.

The envoy was startled, and regretfully said: "In that case, the young general will leave."

"No." Ling Cao waved his hand directly.

As the general who persuaded him to surrender turned around and told Cai Mao the process one by one, Cai Mao's eyes sharpened immediately. Looking back, he looked at the huge trebuchets standing on the deck, and the catapults quietly placed in the throwing basket. Crock, coldly said: "In this case, this Marquis will shatter his last hope in Jiangdong, and pass on the order to go forward, with the fighting ships behind, and set up an offensive formation to break his formation."

"promise!"

After the sound of horns and battle drums soared into the sky, a red triangular flag began to wave rapidly, and immediately a navy fleet composed of hundreds of warships and warships immediately separated from the formation. , and killed the Wu Guoshui army on the opposite side.

On one of the boats, Wen Pin stood proudly with a big knife in his hand, his eyes flashed with extremely cold killing intent.

Seeing this scene, Ling Cao immediately drew his sword and shouted sharply, "Order the front army to attack and defeat the Dayan navy!"

"The former army strikes!"

Immediately, the messengers shouted loudly, waved their flags vigorously, and hundreds of warships sailed back and forth in front of the formation quickly began to exert their strength, and greeted the Dayan navy led by Wenpin.

In an instant, overwhelming shouts sounded in front of the two armies.

Since then, the Battle of Chibi officially broke out.
