Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 469 The Zhong Brothers
At the beginning of October in the 13th year of Jian'an, Zhou Yu's [-] troops set up a water village in Chibi.Pang Tong suggested: "Cao Cao is currently stationed in Jiangling. The governor can send a general to fight. One is to investigate the situation of Cao's army, and the other is to lead Cao's army to the north bank of Chibi."

Zhou Yu looked at Pang Tong and smiled slightly: "It seems that Shi Yuan already knows why I set up a camp in Chibi."

Pang Tong said with a smile: "From Chibi to Jiangling, you need to go through Huarong and Wulin. These two places are densely covered with mud and the roads are muddy. It is difficult for Cao Cao's army to pass through. Therefore, the only way to rely is water. The governor chose this place after careful consideration."

"Exactly. Shi Yuan thought Cao Cao was back?"

"Cao Cao is arrogant now, thinking that he will win, why not come?"

Zhou Yu laughed and ordered the generals to gather. "Which general is willing to fight?"

Tai Shici responded, "I would like to go."

Lu Meng also stepped forward to ask for orders. There were two leaders, and all the generals were going to fight.Tai Shici said angrily: "I am the vanguard, I should fight first!"

Lu Meng was not to be outdone: "They are all killing the enemy for the lord, how can we distinguish between each other?"

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "Then the two generals will each lead [-] warships to fight together, and Chen Wu will accompany them."

Tai Shici and Lu Meng led the warship all the way west to Jiangling.Cao Jun nearly doubled the size of the original Jingzhou water village in Jiangling, and thousands of warships were discharged from the water village for dozens of miles.The commander of the water army, General Jin, commanded the drill outside the stronghold, and Cai Mao was beside him as a staff officer. "Report, General, there are dozens of Jiangdong warships approaching in the distance."

Yu Jin frowned, how could Jiang Dong take the initiative to provoke. "General Cai, can the Jingzhou navy go to battle?"

This is Yu Jin's usual style. In the battle of the white horse, he let Song Xian and Cheng Lian take the lead to fight Yan Liang. At this time, he wanted to let Cai Mao play.Cai Mao was upset, why, at this time, I remembered that our Jingzhou navy came?I have to go, alas, it would be great if Zhang Yun was here, but you killed Zhang Yun, Cai Mao looked at his two younger brothers, Cai Zhong and Cai He, let them play?Seeing that Cai Mao hesitated, Yu Jin said angrily, "Could it be that you are afraid of Jiangdong and dare not fight?"

Before Cai Mao could speak, the Hebei generals Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen thought it was time to make their mark, and they clasped their fists together and said, "Although my brother is from Hebei, he has learned a lot from training with the general in the navy. General." Yu Jin glanced at Cai Mao contemptuously and ignored him.He said to the Zhong brothers: "Okay, I will give you thirty warships each, so as not to break the morale of our army."

"Order."

The two brothers ordered the warships to go to battle.Cai Mao was very anxious: "General Yu, why don't you report to the prime minister as soon as possible about Jiangdong's crimes."

"There are dozens of warships in the area, why bother the prime minister."

Yu Jin said so, but immediately sent someone to report to Cao Cao.Cao Cao had already learned that Jiang Dong had come to fight with Zhou Yu as his governor, so he didn't take it seriously.Hearing that Yu Jin sent someone to report, Jiang Dong came to challenge and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go and see what Zhou Yu's son can do."

After finishing speaking, he summoned his subordinate Wenwu to the riverside to board the three-story giant warship specially built for him, and went out of the water village to watch.Well, Cao Cao finally experienced that fighting on the river is completely different from that on land. The most prominent thing is that the distance is too far. Even though he is at the highest level, he can only see the ships of the two sides fighting against each other like two teams of ants, and he can't see clearly at all.Both armies dispatched ships this time that could carry 50 people. Tai Shici formed a formation like fish scales, while the Zhong brothers formed a formation like wild goose wings. Cai Mao sighed secretly and fell from the formation down into.The Zhong brothers thought that by virtue of their superiority upstream, they could attack downstream. Tai Shici smiled and said: "Although I am upstream, my Jiangdong navy can only maneuver boats. How can your Cao army be compared?"

Tai Shici stood at the bow of the ship with an iron halberd in his hand, and ordered to penetrate Cao's army from the middle road and divide Cao's warship.Seeing Tai Shici approaching aggressively, Zhong Shen felt a little busy. "Let the arrow!"

Faced with the battle head-on, how could the archers be able to use it at the bow of the ship? Set aside.Just imagine that although Cao Jun has practiced in Xuanwu Pool and then trained in Jiangling, the water surface in Xuanwu Pool is basically still, and he can shoot arrows and fight in front of soldiers; , how can there be more spare energy to bend the bow and shoot arrows?In other words, Cao Jun has not yet mastered the use of force.Cao Cao couldn't see all of this in the distance, but Cai Mao could think of it, if he didn't say it, he would get angry.Tai Shici clamped the iron halberd between his legs, and drew the iron tire bow in his hand to form a full moon. He shot an arrow at Zhong Shen.As soon as Zhong Shen raised his head, Tai Shici shot the second arrow, and it was too late to hide. Zhong Shen yelled and covered his left eye with his hand.Tai Shici counted arrows in a row, and the arrows were fired without fail. Several Cao Jun fell into the water. The Jiangdong water army successfully wedged into Cao Jun's fleet and rescued Cao Jun's siege in two sections.The Jiangdong soldiers stood on the left and right sides of the ship's side. Except for the oars and scullers, everyone had a bow in their hands and shot at Cao Jun as hard as they could. Cao Jun's soldiers were busy dodging and crowded each other. It was the ship that lost its balance and capsized.Cao Jun lost hundreds of people and lost control of more than ten ships.In a panic, Zhong Jin ordered the soldiers to yell to move closer to him. As a result, the soldiers were even more flustered than him. During the approach, they bumped into each other, and several ships capsized.There were six or seven ships that were far away, and their knowledge was not good, so they turned their bows and escaped from the battlefield.After a face-to-face encounter, Cao Jun lost one-third of his warships, General Zhong Shen was shot, and the remaining warships were divided.Tai Shici ordered the drums to be beaten twice. Hearing the sound of the drums, the Jiangdong navy quickly divided into two teams to surround Cao's army respectively, and ignored the fleeing warships.Cao Jun was surrounded by more chaos, the soldiers didn't know where to row the boat, Zhong Jin's command failed, no matter how much he shouted, he was drowned by the sound of killing and the sound of the river. "Withdraw, row back."

Zhong Jin could only order his boat to row back desperately, and meet Tai Shici's boat head-on. "Go right, let him pass."

Tai Shici roared.The boat leaned slightly to the right, narrowly avoiding Zhong Jin's boat, and the grain boat was less than two steps away.Tai Shici threw away the iron tire bow in his hand, jumped onto Zhong Jin's boat, two iron halberds flew left and right, and Cao Jun fell one after another.Zhong Jin yelled, "Good time!"

He swung his broadsword and slashed at Taishi Ci's head.Tai Shici was about to raise his halberd to meet him, but with a pop, an arrow hit Zhong Jin's throat. Zhong Jin threw away the big knife in his hand and tried to cover it with his hands, and finally fell on the bow of the boat.Tai Shici looked back and saw Lu Meng holding a bow and smiling at him, Tai Shici glared at Lu Meng, turned around and jumped back to his warship.
