Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 618 Battle of the Water Army
"Since the regent is right behind us, I have nothing to worry about. It's just that if we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid our army will suffer a lot of casualties. If the regent blames me, sir, please speak well for me. Yes." Hearing what Pang Tong said, Cai Mao also calmed down, but turned to speak to Pang Tong.

"Don't worry, general, if there is any mistake, I will bear it all by myself." Regarding Cai Mao's words, Pang Tong clasped his fists and said.

"Hehe, I can rest assured that you have Mr.'s words." Hearing Pang Tong's words, Cai Hao laughed, and continued to lead the sailors under his command to contend with Zhou Yu's brigade.

But Lu Su said goodbye to Zhuge Liang and hurried to see Zhou Yu, and told Zhou Yu about Zhuge Liang's worries.

"Zhuge Liang told you to tell me these words, right? At the beginning he encouraged me to send troops here, and now he said that Lu Bu had a trap. I think his so-called Crouching Dragon is just a vain name." After listening to Lu Su's report, Zhou Yu said a little depressed.

"The governor doesn't care about Zhuge Liang's affairs. I don't know what the governor is going to do now?" Lu Su didn't care about Zhou Yu's opinion of Zhuge Liang. Anyway, Zhuge Liang had left, and the most important thing right now was how to keep Jiangdong's navy.

"You just set up ships to guard around, and allocate some ships to guard against Lu Bu's other navy coming to attack. Our army has already engaged in battle with Cai Mao's army. How can we retreat if we say that we can retreat? Wait until I solve Cai Mao's attack. It's not too late to go back to Soochow." After finishing speaking, Zhou Yu stopped talking and went to command the battle.

On the other side, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and others took a boat not far away, and saw a huge navy sailing towards Jiangxia. On the bow of the boat, a large flag was erected, which read: "Vice Commander of the Navy "Zhang" saw the big flag, and everyone immediately understood that it was Zhang Yun, the deputy commander of the Jingzhou Navy of Lu Bu.

"It seems that this is indeed Lu Bu's scheme. I don't know if Zhou Yu listened to me." Zhuge Liang was shocked when he saw Zhang Yun's navy. I can't help but worry.

"That Zhou Yu is self-righteous, let's see how he ends up this time." Zhang Fei gloated beside him.

"I'm afraid that after this battle, Jiangdong's strength will not be as good as before, and our situation will be even more difficult." At this time, Zhuge Liang couldn't help sighing, but the calmness of the past had disappeared from his face.

"Kill me, rush up, and kill Cai Mao." At this time, the battle between Cai Mao's navy and Jiangdong's navy has reached a fever pitch. Cai Mao's soldiers don't know that Jiangxia has been occupied by Lu Bu, and they still think it belongs to Liu Bei. Naturally, he didn't dare to retreat to the shore, so he could only bite the bullet and resist, but Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses relied on their numbers and strength, and they were relatively strong in water skills, so they were naturally merciless.

"Brothers, our reinforcements are coming. As long as we block Zhou Yu's attack, victory will belong to us." At this moment, Cai Mao shouted loudly, and began to fight for his soldiers.

"Governor, it's not good. Zhang Yun brought the navy to kill him from behind." Just when Zhou Yu thought he was about to win, Lu Su brought bad news to Zhou Yu.

"Great governor, I am willing to lead troops to stop Zhang Yun." At this moment, a young general beside Zhou Yu came over, bowed to Zhou Yu and said, Zhou Yu turned around and saw that this person was none other than Sun Ce Lu Xun, the son-in-law.

"Okay, young people are aggressive, so you will lead the troops to fight Zhang Yun. After I eliminate Cai Mao, I will lead the troops there. It won't be too late for us to attack Zhang Yun together." Seeing Lu Xun approaching, Zhou Yu nodded and praised him. Fan Road.

"Hehe, sir, it's as expected as expected. With Zhang Yun's large army, Zhou Yu may have to weigh it in this battle." Seeing Zhang Yun's reinforcements arrive, Cai Hao laughed, and said to Pang Tong beside him , I have more confidence in the war.

"Although the general's navy is not as good as the Jiangdong navy, Jiangbei is vast and rich in resources. After a few months, the general's lost soldiers and horses can be replenished again. I just don't know how long it will take for the Jiangdong navy to recover after this battle. "At this time, Pang Tong's face has a lot of calmness. It is obvious that Pang Tong is also very happy to see that the development of the matter is in line with his own ideas.

"My lord, Cai Hao and Zhang Yun's naval forces are probably not Zhou Yu's opponents. It must not be long before the Jingzhou navy surrendered. If the lord's navy of Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner are also here, the situation will be different. Alright, my lord has been training Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner navy for a long time, I don’t know when my lord is going to let them see blood and participate in real battles.” On the Jiangxia city tower, seeing the battle of the navy on the river, Xun Yu said.

"Mr. Xun Yu also thinks that Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner should see blood, which is exactly what I thought." Lu Bu said to Dian Wei who was beside him: "Let them come out, if this continues, Cai Mao I can't hold it anymore."

"Yes, my lord." Hearing Lu Bu's order, Dian Wei quickly asked the soldiers behind him to issue a signal, and saw two blue command flags waving in the air. Soon after, the shadows of ships appeared on the other side of the river. The tall masts and huge ships were completely different from the Jingzhou navy and the Jiangdong navy. They were Lu Bu's Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner navy.

"The general is not well, look over there?" Lu Su was first surprised when he saw the tall ships with Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner, and quickly reminded Zhou Yu next to him.

"What is this? Could this be Lu Bu's Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner naval forces?" Although Jiangdong is well-developed in shipbuilding, he has never seen ships like Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner. The ship completely subverted Zhou Yu's understanding of warships, and it was obviously different from ordinary warships.

"Hahaha, is this also called a warship? It seems that Lu Bu doesn't understand the fighting methods of the navy at all. Let me deal with them." Seeing the navy ships with the Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner, Han Dang laughed. , said completely indifferently.

"Lv Bu's daring to build such a big ship is obviously based on something, and it can't be just a show. The general will lead the troops up to try it out. I will send a large army to raid for you." Zhou Yu is not afraid of this kind of big ship under Lu Bu's command. I understand, but I don't think Lu Bu would waste materials to build such a big ship.

"Don't worry, general, I'm going now." After finishing speaking, Han Dang turned around and set sail, and immediately many warships followed, until Han Dang stood in front of the boat and shouted: "Children, catch me!" It’s a big fish.” It turns out that although Jiangdong’s warships are relatively large, there are many small warships. It’s not that Jiangdong can’t make bigger ships, but for ships that rely on cold weapons to fight, the big ships are actually better. is a drag.

Although Han Dang's order was issued, a kind of warship that followed scattered and surrounded a large ship directly in front. These warships had iron hooks directly in front of them. When they met other ships, they could Hit into other ships, at this time the iron hook will be deeply inserted into the hull of other ships, and the soldiers and horses put on will rush aboard at this time to wipe out the enemy. This is exactly what Han Dang thought in his heart, as long as As soon as his warship rushed up, Han Dang naturally had the confidence to rely on his superior force to wipe out the Lu Bu army ships ahead one by one.

"Look, what's that?" Just as Han Dang was leading his warship close to a big ship in front, he suddenly saw huge wooden chariots pushed up above the big ship. The chariot actually looks a little familiar.It just seems to be much bigger than usual.

"No, that's a ballista." Seeing the things on the boat, Han Dang suddenly felt a burst of cold sweat on his back, because the thing on the boat was exactly the ballista, and it was even bigger than the normal ballista. Seeing such a ballista, Han Dang finally understood what Lu Bu's army was relying on. With the model of this ballista, Han Dang had no doubt that such a ballista could completely shoot through ordinary warships.

"Squeak!" At this moment, there was a loud noise, and the large ship of Lu Bujun in front of him suddenly opened a gap, and it was on that gap.A large black spear was placed there, aiming at the battleship where Han Dang was.It turned out that a large ballista was built on the basis of the entire bow.

"Go, retreat." Seeing this scene, Han Dang didn't dare to rush up again. He only felt a chill enveloping his whole body in an instant.

"嗖嗖嗖" At this moment, the ballista on the opposite big ship finally opened its mouth, and large crossbow arrows flew towards Han Dang and his ship like a spell that urged him to death, "Boom, boom" the ship The sound of being pierced by a giant crossbow arrow, the sound of holding a crossbow arrow shooting into the water, and the sound of splashing water began to sound around Han Dang.

At this moment, Xing Dang suddenly felt a black shadow looming in front of him, and Han Dang secretly screamed "No!" Knowing that it must be the giant crossbow arrow from the bow of Lu Bu's army, Han Dang quickly turned around before he had time to think. Jumping towards the water beside him, at the same time there was a "click" sound behind him, and Han Dang knew that the battleship he was on had been shot through.

"Boom boom boom boom" At this moment, a large wave suddenly splashed in front of him, drowning Han Dang and the soldiers who had fallen into the water around him.When the river calmed down a bit, Han Dang finally saw clearly that another large ship of Lu Bu's army had already rushed over and was chasing and killing the ship he had arrived, and the weapons used by this ship were even more outrageous.But it was a piece of stone. It turned out that the ship was equipped with a trebuchet.However, perhaps because there were not many stones on board, the ship did not fight around, only when it encountered a larger fighting ship, it would send out a few stones.

"Governor, let's retreat." Lu Su was speechless for a while when he saw the strength of the Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner ships. After a while, he spoke to Zhou Yu beside him.

"Send down the order to send out small warships to bring General Han Dang and the others back. Other ships charge towards Zhang Yun's direction. Although Lu Bu's navy is powerful, but the small warships are scattered, they have no good way to think about it. Seeing what happened to Han Dang, Zhou Yu immediately realized the urgency of the situation. After leaving some small warships to rescue Han Dang and other soldiers and horses who fell into the water, he stopped staying and rushed towards Zhang Yun's soldiers and horses. Reopen a road and return to Jiangdong.
