Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 347 The decisive battle of the water army.

Qin Jun's ships were much larger than Wu Jun's in size, and Wu Jun could not gain the upper hand in terms of numbers when he only dispatched the left and right sailors.Because of this, there was a situation on the entire river at this time that the Wu army's water army was suppressed and beaten by the Qin army's water army.

It has to be said that both Zheng Chenggong and Zhou Yu are really able to hold their breath.Under this kind of battle situation, Zhou Yu did not increase his troops, and Zheng Chenggong did not fire.

Both of these two people kept their cards in their hands, and wanted to give each other a fatal blow at the most critical time.At this time, the competition between the two is who can hold their breath more.

On the deck, Zheng Chenggong squinted his eyes and looked at Zhou Yu's fleet in the distance. At this moment, a feeling of pity for heroes rose in his heart.

In this era, infantry and cavalry battles were still the main battle, and there were many generals who were also good at infantry and cavalry tactics, but there were very few generals who could command water troops to fight.There is no doubt that Zhou Yu and Zheng Chenggong are the best of them.

"Don't move, I will force you to move." Zheng Chenggong looked at Zhou Yu's fleet ahead, Nan Nan said to himself,

"Flag language, use eight main ships to block the eight directions of east, west, south, north, southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest, and the rest of the ships block the fleeing ships, and eat this water army of the Wu army for me." Zheng Chenggong ordered loudly.

With Zheng Chenggong's order, Qin Jun's ships moved instantly.Qin Jun's ships not only have an advantage in size, but also are much faster than Wu Jun's ships in terms of speed.

With the wave of the command flag in the flag bearer's hand, the Qin army's ships moved quickly and surrounded the two partial armies of Han Dang and Zu Mao.

Wu Jun's navy was originally in a situation of being suppressed and beaten by Qin Jun, but now surrounded by Qin Jun, it can be said that there is no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.

The Qin army is dominated by eight flagships, supplemented by more than a hundred small boats of various types, just like cats playing with mice, consuming Wu's ships bit by bit.

In naval warfare in this era, it can be said that the comparison is who has more ships and whose ships are bigger.Before the Qin army's navy had yet to use artillery, the Wu army with more than [-] ships was no match for the Qin army's more than [-] ships.It can be seen that big is definitely an advantage.

The water battle lasted for about half an hour. At this time, the two partial armies of Zu Mao and Han Dang had already been defeated.More than 200 ships have been sunk and more than [-] have been captured, and nearly half of the soldiers have been killed or injured.

Now, on the entire surface of the river, it can be said that there are blood and floating corpses everywhere, and there seems to be a little blood in the river.

Now these surrounded Wu Jun and navy troops are all stupefied after being beaten, not to mention these ordinary soldiers, even Han Dang and Zu Mao are a little stunned.

"Great Governor, why don't you send troops to rescue? If you don't send troops, our entire army will be wiped out." Han Dang couldn't help crying in his heart, clutching the arrow wound on his left arm.

Just now a stray arrow hit Han Dang's left arm. Han Dang is also a veteran. The arrow almost made him faint from the pain, but he still gritted his teeth and held on. However, now If it looks similar, if Zhou Yu doesn't send troops to rescue them, they will really have insufficient support.

Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu saw Han Zhongjian's arrow.Zhou Yu is the commander-in-chief of the Soochow Navy, and old Cheng Pu is the deputy commander-in-chief.At the same time, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao, and Huang Gai are all very good friends.

Cheng Pu was already anxious when he watched the battle situation, but now that he saw Han Zhongjian, he became even more anxious.

"Governor, send troops quickly."

"If we don't send troops, the two generals Han Dang and Zu Mao will really die in battle today." Cheng Pu persuaded in Zhou Yu's ear.

Zhou Yu is the chief governor, and Cheng Pu is the deputy governor.It was useless for Cheng Pu to send troops, Zhou Yu had to give orders, and the remaining main ships could move.

Zhou Yu looked at the occupancy in front of him, and at this moment he also understood that this test has no results.The Qin army is too strong, and it is very difficult to test out the Qin army's hole cards just by relying on the fleets on the left and right wings.

At this time, Zhou Yu's face changed again and again, and Zhou Yu's heart was actually tangled.Looking at it now, since the Qin army has not found out the trump card, the best choice is to withdraw the army while the Qin army is besieging Han Dang and Zu Mao.

"Governor, let's send troops."

"Old General Huang has already fallen into the hands of the Qin army, we must not lose the two old generals Han Dang and Zu Mao." At this time, Ding Feng knelt on the ground and begged.

"Governor, let's send troops. I, Zhou Tai, would like to be the vanguard." Zhou Tai also asked for a fight from the side.

Zhou Yu and the others didn't know that Qi Jiguang used Huang Gai to cheat to open the camp gate, but when Huang Gai fell into the hands of the Qin army, it was already a disaster.Thinking of General Huang being so old, he still suffered this brutal beating for no reason.Zhou Yu couldn't help feeling a little guilty in his heart. He, Zhou Yu, has been in charge of the Soochow Navy for many years. Who can be his opponent on this river.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu also wanted to compete with Zheng Chenggong in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Beat the drum, and the whole army will attack."

Zhou Yu thought to himself, since he couldn't test out Qin Jun's hole cards, he might as well put all his hole cards up and let everyone fight a decisive battle.

With Zhou Yu's order, the remaining [-] or so ships of Soochow rushed towards the Qin army. The [-] or so ships of the central army were different from the [-] or so ships led by Han Dang and Zu Mao on the left and right flanks. Same.

Han Dang and Zu Mao's boats were mostly small boats, but Zhou Yu's [-] boats were mostly large boats.These buildings were even equipped with some slingshots and bed crossbows.

Seeing that Soochow's ships were getting closer and closer to his own side, Zheng Chenggong thought to himself: "Sure enough, Zhou Yu is such an arrogant person, it is absolutely impossible to withdraw without a fight."

Zheng Chenggong set up a naval battle formation and locked Han Dang and Zu Mao in the formation. Under such circumstances, the Qin army's ships actually lost part of their mobility.

If Zhou Yu took advantage of this opportunity and ordered the navy to return to the water stronghold, it would actually be very difficult for the Qin army to catch up after the Qin army adjusted its formation.However, Zheng Chenggong took a gamble. He bet that Zhou Yu would not withdraw without a fight.

Seeing that Zhou Yu's whole army rushed forward as expected, Zheng Chenggong couldn't help showing a bit of complacency in his heart.

"Send the order, change the formation. The flagship withdraws and lays a long snake formation across the river. The rest of the boats take over from the flagship and continue to encircle and suppress. Let me completely eat the left and right wings of the Wu army." Zheng Chenggong's order was conveyed.
