The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 304 Two-line Victory (for Subscription)

"Report, the vanguard warship is less than half a mile away from the target lake island, and the general is hereby ordered to attack."

On the front deck of the tall ship, a flag bearer immediately came to Zhou Yu to report after receiving the signal from the front.

Zhou Yu stood at the front of the deck, staring at the whole reeds in front of him, and said lightly: "Order the warships to fan out, and don't rush to land without my order."

"Here!"

The standard-bearer got the order and immediately commanded the dispatch of the three-winged warships ahead. Dozens of large and small warships that were going straight ahead quickly lined up, looking as if they were going to surround the entire beach.

"What are they doing? Not attacking?"

"What does it mean to be surrounded like this?"

"It's really Zhou Yu who is leading the army on the opposite side?"

The five young men standing on the island could also see clearly the mobilization of the navy in Dameng Town.But at the moment they are all a little confused, obviously dozens of ships and hundreds of people have arrived at the door, why don't they call in?

Even Jing Ke who assassinated Qin Qin could not figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Zhou Yu's gourd.

However, they couldn't understand it. It didn't mean that Zhou Yu was really here for sightseeing. Just as the warships in Dameng Town were lined up, there were more than ten or twenty slender fish shadows swimming and approaching the reed marshes under the lake surface.

These 'fish shadows' immediately scattered around after entering the reeds, and disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.

After a while, as the Lou Chuan came to the periphery of the reed without any haste, many 'fish shadows' gathered again, one after another showing their heads behind the Lou Chuan.

They are all soldiers from Heze Water Village.

"General, there is indeed an ambush in the reeds, right here, here, and in this area."

When a wet pawn came to the deck to report the military situation, a smile gradually appeared on Zhou Yu's face: "The crossbowman obeys the order, 250 paces to the west, release the arrow!"

"170 steps north, throw!"

Following Zhou Yu's order, the crossbowmen who stayed on the building opened the prelude to this battle.

A series of flying arrows passed through and pierced into the reeds at high speed.

Immediately afterwards, screams sounded.

"Pioneer fleet, attack!"

"Siege and kill enemy ships!"

Two more semaphores were sent out, and the three-winged warship, which had been waiting for a long time, began to close again.

The goal is clear, pointing directly at the ambush soldiers in the reeds that have exposed their whereabouts.

"This"

"Zhou Yu, how did he know there was an ambush outside?"

"Oops, this is really going to be bad."

The young people standing on the island now understood the purpose of Zhou Yu's series of dispatches just now.

But it was only now that I realized that it was somewhat too late.

When all the ambushes in the reed marshes were exposed, the battleships of Dameng Town rushed into the reed marshes like wolves and tigers. It was only the first round of impact that caused many small boats to capsize.

In the ensuing boarding battle, the well-trained and well-equipped Dameng Town Navy took an absolute advantage.

After all, Zhou Yu's subordinates are all out-and-out sailors, while the soldiers of Dinghun Village are a group of infantry standing on their clothes.

Competing in close combat on the water, these soldiers who are not even the first rank, naturally cannot be the opponents of the Heze Navy.

In less than half a stick of incense, nearly a hundred soldiers from Dinghun Village either died on the spot or were captured by falling into the water, and less than one hundred of them fled back to the shore.

However, the casualties of the Heze navy were only a dozen soldiers who were slightly injured in the boarding battle.

"Send the wounded soldiers back to heal their wounds, and the rest of the warships will continue to surround them."

For Zhou Yu, it was expected that the casualties should be kept within the scope of the undead, so there was nothing to be overjoyed about. When he waved his hand to order, his eyes had already crossed the small island in front of him and looked in another direction.

There, too, there is a battle going on.

Unlike Zhou Yu, who easily dealt with nearly a hundred ambush soldiers, Han Zhao, who was in charge of raiding another small island on the other side, was easy to catch by surprise when he landed, but when he approached the island, he quickly ran into him. Not weak resistance.

Nearly a hundred enemy soldiers dressed as ordinary citizens fought hard to resist. Although Han Zhao himself was good at force, he couldn't directly wipe out the opponent with tyrannical force like Zhang He, He Chun, and Li Guang.

The fighting lasted for more than half an hour, and the blood almost stained the rice fields on the island.

Han Zhao himself was not feeling well, Ming Guangkai on his body was obviously damaged.Holding knives in both hands, the last few enemy soldiers were knocked to the ground, and then he took a deep breath and gradually stopped.

"Leave half of the slightly injured to clean up the battlefield, and the rest will return to report the battle situation to General Zhou."

Han Zhao glanced around and found that at least 20 soldiers under his command were lying here forever. He frowned and added: "Find out all of our people and write down their identities. In the future, the lord will help them The relatives of the family will issue pensions."

"Here!"

The soldiers under his command responded silently. Almost all of them were injured in this battle, and each of them had an expression of relief after the battle.

The first battle since the establishment of the navy finally ended in victory.

Half an hour later, as the wounded soldiers returned to the main fleet, Zhou Yu could not help but frown while nodding.

Jiangdong soldiers are not good at fighting on foot, and sailors are not good at fighting on flat ground.

This shortcoming not only appeared in the former Jiangdong navy, but now the casualties of a sneak attack battle under his command have also completely exposed the shortcomings of the Jiangdong navy.

"It seems that we still need to strengthen the training of sailor battles." Zhou Yu rubbed his palms silently, and Zhou Yu already had a plan for the next step in his heart.

If the surprise attack had not been led by Han Zhao, the casualties would have doubled again.He didn't expect to train the sailors under his command to the level of cane armored soldiers and heavy halberd soldiers, but at least they couldn't behave like ordinary country soldiers after they landed.

The navy under his command must have the ability to fight alone.

Just when Zhou Yu was thinking about how to improve the landing force of the navy, Jing Ke assassinated Qin on the island also found that the population and number of soldiers under his command had dropped sharply again.

The main island where I am is temporarily fine, so the place where the accident can only be another island in the southeast direction.

When Jing Ke assassinated Qin and told the news to the four buddies, the faces of several people present turned dark again: "Zhou Yu set up a formation here and did not attack. In fact, it was to cover his subordinates to sneak attack on another island?"

"Well, it's lost over there now." Clearly seeing the population drop to nearly 200, Jing Ke assassinated Qin even if he didn't want to admit it.

"The ambush here failed, and the small island was lost over there. Now we are really vulnerable." The 'Old Third' shook his head helplessly, and then said, "Why is Dameng Town so powerful? Only a navy can be dispatched to take the city away." We hit the ground running."

"What should we do now, can we still make peace with Dameng Town?"

Hearing the 'Old Fifth' speak, the 'Boss' who used to be the big brother in the dormitory suddenly sneered: "Make peace? What's the point of making peace when you've reached this level? If you can't win on the battlefield, why should you daydream about making peace with you. Do you still think that in daydreaming, you will buy the territory of the second child with 500 gold? Open your eyes and see clearly, there are all his warships outside."

As soon as the voice of 'Boss' fell to the ground, a soldier of Dinghun Village hurried over: "My lord, another messenger from Dameng Town has come and said he wants to see you."
