The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 409 Chapter 408 Water Battle Failed
"Zhou Yu, don't go!" Holding a steel knife, Xu Chu quickly chased him up from behind, running like the wind, like an arrow leaving the string, and when he saw that Zhou Yu had reached the shore, he yelled hastily.

Behind Xu Chu was a group of ferocious soldiers, they followed Xu Chu closely, like a pack of hungry wolves, they rushed towards him directly.

"Governor, you go first, Guan X is here to resist these people!" Guan Yu saw that Zhou Yu had only twenty followers beside him, so he turned his body and said to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu grabbed Guan Yu's hand with great force, then a strange smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face, and he said to Guan Yu, "How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer?"

Guan Yu didn't understand what it meant, but Zhou Yu raised his left hand, put it to his mouth, and blew a clear whistle.

As soon as the whistle sounded, Guan Yu noticed that thousands of soldiers emerged from the waters on the shore, all of them holding a sharp knife in their hands, and they walked slowly onto the shore, but with the fastest speed. They lined up on the shore at an extremely fast speed, and in an instant, the originally chaotic crowd turned into an orderly formation, presenting a battle formation in an instant.

Guan Yu made a rough count. There were about 3000 of these soldiers, and their clothes were soaked. Even standing there, water was still flowing from their bodies.

At the same time, hundreds of black shadows appeared on the horizontal surface in the distance. Guan Yu looked carefully, and then he saw clearly that those black shadows were warships, raising their sails, riding the wind and waves, and heading towards The island is coming fast.

"It turns out that Zhou Yu was already prepared!" Guan Yu said secretly in his heart.

Zhou Yu glanced at Guan Yu's expression, but he saw that Guan Yu's face was calm, without any ups and downs, but his eyes were looking at the warships on the water.

"General Guan, you are my guest. How can I ask you to defend me when I encounter the enemy? I have my own army in Jiangdong. Although the navy has just been trained, it is difficult to deal with these enemies from Jiangbei. But it is more than enough. Please, General Guan, come aboard with me, so that we can watch the fighting power of our Jiangdong Navy!" Zhou Yu said.

Before Guan Yu could respond, Zhou Yu pulled him onto the fishing boat that had already been moored there. Zhou Yu called out to the boatman, who immediately started the boat and left the shore quickly.

Zhou Yu and Guan Yu stood on the bow of the boat, facing the wind blowing from Peng Lize, watching the battle on the island from a distance.

The sudden appearance of the Jiangdong water army surprised Xu Chu and others. They never thought that Zhou Yu had been prepared for a long time, and these Jiangdong water troops, who were all wet from top to bottom, could escape the sight of the patrolling army, showing their water quality. Great, to be able to stay underwater for a long time without being noticed.

Seeing Zhou Yu getting farther and farther away from the island, Xu Chu's mood plummeted. He thought he could catch Zhou Yu and get another great achievement, but he didn't expect the duck in his mouth to fly away again.

So, Xu Chu vented all his anger on the Jiangdong navy that appeared, and with a grim face, he led his subordinates and rushed towards the three thousand wet Jiangdong navy.

However, the [-] Jiangdong navy did not join the battle. Before Xu Chu and the others ran over, they jumped into the lake one after another. Their bodies were like loaches, and they swam far away with a chug.

When Xu Chu ran to the shore with his men, the three thousand Jiangdong navy were all floating in the water, all facing the island, and laughed loudly at Xu Chu and the others.

Xu Chu is a landlubber, and few of his subordinates can swim. Even if they can swim, they dare not go into the water at this time. After all, there are [-] Jiangdong sailors with excellent water skills on the opposite side. Jumping in is equivalent to going into the water. die!

At this time, all the warships of the Jiangdong Army sailed towards the island, and Zhou Yu boarded a huge fighting ship to meet him.

Zhou Yu led Guan Yu to the highest end of the battleship, holding a command flag in his hand, his eyes quickly swept across the entire island.

Near the small island, Zhang Yan's army has approached from three sides, Li Dian on the left, Lu Dai on the right, and Chen Ying in the middle. There are more than a thousand ships, large and small, like three huge torrents, rushing towards the Jiangdong navy. come over.

"Great Governor, the enemy is outnumbered and we are few. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. It is better to retreat quickly, so as not to be surrounded by the enemy!" Guan Yu said to Zhou Yu deliberately when he saw so many warships on the other side.

Zhou Yu sneered, and said, "What can a mere mob do against me? General Guan, let's see how I can defeat the enemy!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Yu waved the command flag in his hand. After a while, the Jiangdong navy stopped advancing one after another, and put away their sails. On the two wings of the warship, Zhou Yu's battleship is located in the center of the entire water army. On the left, right and rear of the battleship, there are large ships to guard. In addition, there are countless light boats lined up in large and small Between the boats, the three thousand sailors came on board.

The formation of the entire water army is completed, and the Jiangdong water army stands on the water, fluctuating with the wind and waves.

Yu Jin, Mao Jie and the others had already been sent to the battleship where Zhang Yan was. When they saw Zhang Yan appearing here, they were extremely surprised. Zhang Yan was about to talk to Yu Jin and Mao Jie, but he didn't want Jiangdong navy The news of the appearance came.

Zhang Yan immediately boarded the top of the battleship, and saw the Jiangdong Navy in the distance in the waters south of the island, and the warships led by Li Dian, Chen Ying, and Lu Dai were all waiting for orders.

Therefore, Zhang Yan ordered Yu Jin, Mao Jie and others to be imprisoned for the time being, and drove the battleship to the other side of the island. He was in charge of the water battle, and was going to have a duel with Zhou Yu.

The battleship Zhang Yan was on soon came to the other side of the island. The warships of both sides were lined up in this water area, and Zhou Yu had already made preparations. Zhang Yan had just arrived and hadn't seen the enemy clearly yet. No matter how the formation was arranged, Zhou Yu suddenly launched an attack.

More than a hundred warships in the front line rushed towards the Chinese army at a rapid speed, followed by dozens of building ships. The starting lineup only had more than 100 warships with about [-] troops, while the rest of the warships , stay where they are.

Zhang Yan saw that there were only a few warships coming to attack, so he sneered and asked Li Dian and Lu Dai to attack from the left and right. Chen Ying led the warships to meet from the central army, and ordered all the archers on the warships to fill their bows. Waiting to shoot, once the enemy enters the range, they will release the arrows and kill them.

Zhou Yu, who was commanding the battle in the distance, saw the warships on the left and right flanks of the enemy army moving, with a sinister smile on his face.

Guan Yu stayed by Zhou Yu's side all the time. Seeing Zhou Yu's expression, he seemed to have a plan in mind. His eyes quickly scanned everything on the horizontal plane, and he found some dark shadows faintly behind the enemy army. Guan Yu quickly saw these black shadows clearly, and they turned out to be five huge battleships lined up, attacking directly from behind the enemy.

The hundreds of warships rushing to the front soon entered the range of the enemy army, and without an order, the archers on Zhang Yan's warship shot out countless arrows, densely packed, like swarms of locusts, Shoot towards those rushing scorpions.

At this moment, countless soldiers of the navy jumped into the water from the boat. The bow of the boat was filled with a lot of inflammable materials, which were ignited by the soldiers of the navy, and soon became a huge fireball. The small warship crashed into Zhang Yanjun's warship without any hindrance. The smaller warship was directly sunk, and the soldiers on board fell into the water one after another. The larger warship was knocked out of a huge hole, and the lake water directly It seeped into the cabin, and the ship was sinking little by little. Although there was nothing serious about the larger ship, the fire on the bow of the boat burned the hull, and the whole ship was on fire.

All of a sudden, Zhang Yan's army was in chaos, and the soldiers on the warship jumped into the water one after another in order to escape for their lives, but the water was far more dangerous than those on the boat. Excellent water quality, with a short blade in his pocket, hidden in the bottom of the water, he stabbed ferociously at the enemies who fell into the water.

In just a short time, Zhang Yan lost dozens of warships, and dozens of warships were still burning, and with the help of the wind, the fire was likely to spread, and the sails of the nearby ships were burned, one after another. Ships, the fire spread beyond people's imagination.

There is fire on the surface of the water, and there are Jiangdong water ghosts under the water. The soldiers on the lost warship, facing the situation of being attacked by the enemy, screamed again and again, and the whole water was stained with blood.

At this time, the battleships that appeared from behind Zhang Yanjun were approaching at full speed. After Zhang Yan found these battleships, he ordered Li Dian to lead his army to intercept them, and the rest retreated.

However, fighting on water is not like fighting on land. On land, Zhang Yan gave an order, and the whole army turned around and began to retreat, swarming like birds and beasts.

But on the water, they were restricted. It was much more difficult for warships to turn around, and Zhang Yan's navy was too densely arranged, and they were all gathered together. The navy lost even more.

After Zhang Yan witnessed this situation, he immediately ordered to retreat in batches, and let Chen Ying lead his army to resist the enemy's attack.

After about a stick of incense, the water army resumed unimpeded, and Zhang Yan's fighting ship left the battlefield first, followed by other large and small ships, and only then did some losses be recovered.

Guan Yu, who had been watching the battle on the battleship, had a look of surprise on his face when he saw such a scene. He never thought that the Jiangdong navy under Zhou Yu's command would be so powerful.

"Congratulations to the Commander-in-Chief, congratulations to the Commander-in-Chief, the Commander-in-Chief commanded well, defeated the enemy with less, and defeated the enemy. I am so impressed by Guan!" Guan Yu congratulated with his hands clasped.
