Chapter 226 Zhou Yu's defeat (3)
"Rise the sail!" Zhou Yu waved the feather fan in his hand, and the general was confused, but he still implemented it. Zhou Yu's order was already angry. Now anyone who made a question in front of him would only bring him death! All the warships began to support the sails. The navy's warships not only man-powered but also accelerated the sails, but because sometimes there was no strong wind in the Yangtze River, this caused the sails to be ineffective, and they could only row with oars.
"Rise the sail? Hehe, do you want to surrender?!" The sails are basically linen, coarse cloth, and they are all undyed cloth, so they are basically white sails, which look like the white chess that surrender. Raising the sails will also increase the volume, which will expand the area of damage!
Kuai Liang sneered. Zhou Yu was so panicked! No wonder anyone would be shocked if they encountered such a powerful weapon.
"But no matter how much you understand, please Zhou Yu sink into the bottom of the river! Only the dead Jiangdong Mei Zhou Lang is still a good Zhou Gongjin!" Kuai Liang raised his hand again. As long as the last volley shot, he could directly send Zhou Yu's flagship and Zhou Yu into the bottom of the river. Then the Jingzhou army will have a great victory. After that, this water area, no, it should be said that the entire Yangtze River basin will be the world of the Jingzhou army! Lu Bu's army no longer has a naval army, and even if there is one, he will wander in the Yellow River, on the Huai River and on the Yingshui River. The warship sold by Liu Mang is to give Jing a gift.
The provincial army gave Jiangdong Army a message that our Lu Bu army was not interested in this Yangtze River, and we didn’t want to fight the Yangtze River to attack Jiangdong and Jingzhou. What we wanted was the Huaihe River Basin, we wanted to settle accounts with Lao Cao, take revenge, and march into the Central Plains! So you can fight on the Yangtze River! It’s good to fight life and death! If it’s the three-way naval forces, everyone may cooperate with each other for a balance, but once they become two people, it’s different. As long as they kill each other, they just need to kill each other. Then the winning side is the overlord, the overlord of the Yangtze River Basin!
Of course, Kuai Liang had considered that this was a cover for Lu Bu's army to attract Jingzhou naval army and Jiangdong naval army to fight to the death, but this cover was too tempting and the cake was too big. Lu Bu's army sold Kuai Liang twenty-three warships loaded with crossbows, which directly allowed the Jingzhou Liu Biao army to take the lead in improving its combat effectiveness, so that they could destroy Zhou Yu's fleet first. Then wait for the Jingzhou naval army to modify the remaining warships and fight to the Jiangdong naval army to die. By then, Jiangdong, without two of the three main naval armies, will still be the opponent of Jingzhou! As long as the Jiangdong Sun Ce is destroyed, no matter how expensive it is, as long as there is a crossbow and as long as there are docks, they can completely pull out another fleet in Jingzhou. Kuai Liang did not believe that the development of the Lu Bu's army can catch up with Jingzhou.
"Go to die!" A glimmer of light flashed in Kuai Liang's eyes, and it had already emerged in his mind. Zhou Yu's flagship was directly shattered, and the broken deck and the holes pierced holes made the cold precipitation surge in. After that, Zhou Yu struggled in the water, and it would be better to die directly under the giant arrow of the crossbow!
But Kuai Liang was destined to be disappointed. Nothing happened before him. The scene he imagined that the giant arrow took off and shot through Zhou Yu's flagship did not appear at all. Instead, the warships with sails rising from side to side were driving towards him quickly!
"What's going on!" Kuai Liang was angry. The emotions he had finally brewed. He could still feel something after destroying Zhou Yu. He wrote a gorgeous poem outside the mouth of the Sanjiang River on the Yangtze River. But now! It felt extremely uncomfortable as if he had eaten a big fly. The feeling of comfort was directly held in his heart. You can imagine how profound that kind of unhappiness is!
"Mr. Zirou. The arrows are gone!" Deng Long was a little embarrassed. He was like Kuai Liang, and he really wanted to see the scene of wood chips flying across the warship sinking, but he couldn't see it either. It was because there were no arrows on the crossbow!
"How come there are no arrows? Didn't they shoot continuously?" Kuai Liang also turned his eyes to the crossbows. The crossbows were indeed empty, and there was no giant arrow, and they were all shot!
"You can only send five in a row!" Deng Long said to Kuai Liang. In fact, Kuai Liang knew that he could only send five in a row, but just now he was really a little short of killing the Jiangdong navy. Kuai Liang was so excited. Deng Long was the same!
"Speed loading!" Kuai Liang knew that Lu Bu's naval army must have taught Deng Long's naval army how to load. Kuai Liang was calm and very unhappy, just a little bit short of it! But it was because of this. If the four damn tower ships were not in front of him, the one who sank would be Zhou Yu's flagship now, and they would become the heroes of Jingzhou and the savior of Jingzhou!
"Why, Mr. Zirou doesn't know that he can only send five people in a row!" Although Zhou Yu couldn't hear what Kuai Liang was saying on the other side, he could see Kuai Liang's gloomy face. Kuai Liang, who was just trying to guide the country, disappeared, but turned into a shy and fierce look. After Zhou Yu destroyed Jiang Qin's 30,000 naval troops from Ganning's navy, and killed Jiang Qin, he had been studying the weapon of the Lu Bu army, because no matter what, the Jiangdong army always encountered that weapon. At first, Zhou Yu didn't expect that they could get a bed crossbow from Lu Bu, so Zhou Yu was thinking about how to use the current fleet to win this battle. It was originally just a concept, especially when Sun Ce wrote to him that they had already obtained the weapon of the bed crossbow, so Zhou Yu let go of that concept! But he didn't expect that he would really have to experiment now!
Although this crossbow is a powerful weapon, it can penetrate the tower ship directly from three hundred steps away, causing huge damage to the tower ship, and even send the tower ship directly into the bottom of the river, and the opponent can't touch him at all! The most important thing is that he can still shoot continuously, five methods can shoot continuously! One round of volley can take away half of the fleet, and five rounds of volleys, and one fleet may disappear directly in front of him! Sure enough, Han Dang used his fleet to experiment with Zhou Yu's guess! If it were Gan Ning here
They will definitely laugh at the Jingzhou navy. They don’t know how to play crossbows at all. The crossbows should be scattered to shoot. The two warships aim at one of the other, ensuring that they can send the enemy into the bottom of the river. In this way, five rounds of volleys can eliminate nearly three times the enemy. According to these twenty-three warships, they are nearly sixty warships. According to the current 300 to 400 people on a tower ship, that is a total of 20,000 people! This can directly eliminate more than half of Zhou Yu’s navy!
However, Deng Long and Kuai Yue were also wrong. They believed that only the concentrated arrows had the greatest power, so that they could scare the enemy! This is right. It is a strategy to attack the heart, but don’t forget! Attack the heart can only be used against ordinary troops or ordinary elites. For Zhou Yu’s ace army, it does not work at all. Many giant arrows were shot on the ships that were about to sink, so the five-wheeled volley only destroyed one of Han Dang’s fleet!
The crossbow can shoot five times in a row, but only five times in a row! This is his advantage. He can shoot five rounds in a row, which is also his most fatal disadvantage. After shooting five rounds, he must re-load the bowstring. This is a gap time, and this time is the time for counterattack, so Zhou Yu had been counting Kuai Liang on the opposite side to shoot several huge arrows. After shooting five rounds, Zhou Yu would naturally fight back!
"Speed loading!" Kuai Liang's face was about to be gloomy! Gan Ning's naval army taught these Deng Long's soldiers how to load giant arrows, but loading took time. It was difficult to put giant arrows on the crossbow and let people pull the bowstrings one by one. Such time is nothing in normal times, but it would be really fatal on this battlefield. Zhou Yu's naval army has begun to slowly approach.
"Mr. Zirou, let's hold up the sails too!" Deng Long suggested that when Ganning's navy was teaching them to load the bed crossbow, he said that loading the bed crossbow took a long time and needed to distance himself from the enemy, otherwise it would only become a battle against the board!
"That's all! We also raise the sails! Retreat at full speed!" Kuai Liang was very confused. It was decided to fight, but who knew that he had played like this in the end. Isn't this Chunxin trying to tease people? Fortunately, Kuai Liang's heart is good. If he encounters a bad heart, the fierce contrast may have directly sent him to the west!
"Do you want to get a distance?" Zhou Yu could see that the Jingzhou navy on the deck were working hard to get the bowstrings one by one, and then load the giant arrows one by one! Kuai Liang is just delaying time now! But Zhou Yu will give him this opportunity! There are Jiang Qin's soldiers who escaped by chance in Zhou Yu's navy. From their mouths, Zhou Yu knew that Gan Ning's slow retreat kept a certain distance from the Jiangdong navy, waiting for the crossbow to pull the bowstring again and fight the opponent to the death!
This kind of tactic is very strange. It's like flying a kite. You can't catch up with me. If you don't chase me, I will chase you and chase you. My attack distance is farther than you. I can hit you but you can't touch me at all. This feeling will make people crazy. In the end, Jiang Qin will be wiped out!
But now it’s different. Although the naval warships on Gan Ning’s opposite side have not changed, the soldiers of Jiangxia are still used, and they are even much more elite than those of Gan Ning’s soldiers, but what about that? You must know that Zhou Yu, the opponent now, is the brain of the entire Jiangdong Group and the second-in-command of Jiangdong Group!
"Different waters. Different wind directions! Different water flow! Mr. Zirou, you're not unfair to die!" Zhou Yu murmured to himself. Sure enough, Kuai Liang found something was wrong. Their speed was no match for the Jiangdong Navy. They were being caught up step by step, and the crossbow was still not loaded. Every loading required twenty big men to pull the bowstring before they could put the giant arrow on it!
The most important thing is that the place where they retreat is the water basin, which can go down the Yangtze River to Jiangdong. Kuai Liang and his fleet were originally aimed at Zhou Yu at the beginning, so the bow of the ship pointed to Zhou Yu. Now they have to retreat naturally to change directions, but the direction change cannot be done in a short while. Some warships directly pulled away their sails and fled without turning their heads. This resistance is much greater than that of Zhou Yu's navy, so they will be caught soon! Once caught, this fleet lost, and the Zhou Yu's navy, which was not too damaged, will soon tear them to pieces. Kuai Liang doesn't believe that the Jiangxia navy, which is less than 7,000 people, can have an intimate battle with the Jiangdong navy of more than 20,000 Jiangdong navy. If that is true, then the one who left Kuai Liang would definitely die outside the Sanjiangkou!
Gripping his teeth! Kuai Liang made an absolute conclusion. They must not be caught up. If you want to retreat and have enough time to change the bow of the ship, someone must cut off the back and cover it. Only in this way can you get time for other warships!
"Let the warship No. 1, 4 and 6 turn the bow and charge towards Zhou Yu's navy!" Kuai Liang had no choice but to use this trick. You must know that there are 23 warships in total, each of which is priceless! It will be a pity for any loss of Kuai Liang, especially the crossbow on it. It is really priceless! It can be exchanged for 4,000 shipbuilders and nearly 20,000 gold in exchange for money! So Kuai Liang was very reluctant!
But you have to abandon it even if you are reluctant, otherwise the entire fleet will be lost! The hero cuts off his arm to protect himself!
"Yes!" Deng Long nodded. He also knew that such a ship that launched a counter-charge had only one dead end and had no second choice. However, Deng Long had no choice. Although he was the general of these naval soldiers, everything had to be listened to Kuai Liang. Kuai Liang's words were military orders!
Deng Long blew the flag words and asked No. 1,4, and No. 6 to turn around and issue counterattack at Zhou Yu's navy. As soon as this order was issued, the soldiers of those warships were in high spirits. Who would like to die? There were more than 20,000 enemies on the other side. Moreover, he had just killed their robes. Now the Jiangdong army is a group of annoying tigers, and they will only end up being torn apart when they go up!
However, Deng Long then blew the flag again, which meant to charge for Jiang Xia and your family and relatives! This sentence directly silenced the three ships. Their choice was to turn the bow of the ship and rushed towards Zhou Yu's navy!
Deng Long's words just now have two meanings. The first is that they are all from Jiangxia. Only by defeating Zhou Yu and driving Zhou Yu out of Jiangxia can they live a good life with their relatives and their families. Another meaning is that if you don't charge, then you have to be careful of your family and your relatives' safety! The two meanings are generally threats and lyrics, which makes these Jiangxia soldiers have to choose to die!
Sure enough, Kuai Liang's hero cut off his wrist and worked. Three warships rushed into the formation of the Jiangdong Navy. This time there was no bed crossbow. There was only a side battle, only hand-to-hand combat. "Boom!" The tower ship and the tower ship collided, and Jiangdong Navy rushed into the three ships one after another. The combined ships were only a thousand people. How could it be the opponent of so many people and was directly submerged in the sea of people. At the last moment of the three warships. Their general ignited the warship and played the last flag saying, "I hope the general will treat our family well!"
"A hero cut off his arm? Good method, good method!" Zhou Yu really didn't admire Kuai Liang. Even Zhou Yu couldn't bear to abandon these crossbows, and there were those warships and soldiers of the 1,000 people. This was one-seventh of the strength! It was lost like this! The distance was widened again!
If Mr. Zirou is normal, you might have won, but I’m sorry now! Even God won’t help you! Zhou Yu stretched out his hand and stood up, and a cool breeze passed through Zhou Yu’s palm.
"'It's wind blowing!" Zhou Yu smiled on his face. He was waiting for this moment! The wind was rising. Zhou Yu had been on the Yangtze River for many years and had known the weather on the Yangtze River for a long time. Although he could not change him, he could also know when the wind blew up and when there was no wind. Now it is the time when the wind blows. The strong wind flows down the Yangtze River. This wind break is definitely a blessing for the ships going down the river, and it is a nightmare for the ships going up against the river!
"The wind is blowing!" Kuai Liang's face was a little gloomy because he didn't know when the wind was blowing. And although everyone was going down the river, this wind direction was powerful to the Jiangdong navy! Because Zhou Yu had a flagship that was twice as taller than an ordinary tower ship!
This flagship is not only large, but also the sails loaded on it are several times that of ordinary building ships. Such huge wind power makes this giant like a fish in water, directly surpassing a bunch of building ships around, and directly rushing to Kuai Liang's fleet ahead.
"Damn it!" Kuai Liang was really heartbroken. Even God didn't help him! Even God didn't want Zhou Yu's head! The huge tower ship rushed directly across the river and soon caught up with the last Kuai Liang's ship. However, Zhou Yu had no intention of causing trouble for the ship, but went straight to the central army. This was the same as Kuai Liang! He rushed into the central army and decided the outcome in a battle!
"The crossbow is not good yet!" Kuai Liang was really angry. Originally, they were hunters, Jiangdong naval army, and they had to rely on the crossbow to send them into the bottom of the river one by one. But now they have become the same! Kuai Liang, who has become prey, is now being chased by Zhou Yu!
"Not yet!" Deng Long was also wiping the sweat on his forehead. He was with Kuai Liang. Zhou Yu's flagship attacked and Deng Long cleaned up together, so Deng Long was also panicked. After all, he had fought with Jiangdong for so many years, and Deng Long really had an unknown fear of Zhou Yu. Who made the Jiangdong naval army led by Zhou Yu always fight the Jingzhou naval army without temper!
"Not yet!" Kuai Liang was angry and said, "Let No. 5 and No. 7 charge forward!" Sacrifice two more ships and use these two to protect Kuai Liang's flagship!
"Yes!" Deng Long could only accept the order helplessly. These were his soldiers. If one soldier was killed, one less was the one who lost. Deng Long himself was the one who lost it. I hope that this time I could make great contributions and let the lord reward him well so that he could recruit soldiers and enhance his strength!
No. 5 and 7 started to act. They wanted to attack Zhou Yu's building ship, but before they could touch Zhou Yu's building ship, they were thrown behind by this big guy. Although he was big, his flexibility was not small at all. He went through the gap between the two building ships!
"Nine counterattack!" Deng Long roared at the No. 9 battleship beside him, wanting him to help the flagship escape.
But Kuai Yue shook his head with a wry smile, "It's too late!" It's too late. Zhou Yu's flagship hit Kuai Yue's flagship! These warships were originally from the Lu Bu navy, and the Lu Bu navy got it from Jiangxia, but they were just loaded with crossbows on it! So it was still Jiangxia's warships. Although Jingzhou's shipbuilding industry was developed, it was made by merchant ships. For building ships, they were just popular goods. They just wanted to rely on their capital and never thought of researching and researching and exploring in the past. The lord was a dying person. If you don't have the ambition, don't mention these subordinates!
It would be good to maintain the maintenance and repair of these warships, but Zhou Yu's flagship was built with many things to combine them into the corners of his monument, the sails of the sea ship, and the flat ground of the building ship. He had these, and his size was twice that of ordinary building ships. So as soon as he hit Kuai Liang's flagship, Kuai Liang felt the earth shaking, and his warship could not hit Zhou Yu's flagship. The corners of Zhou Yu's flagship directly tore the superstructure of the Kuai Liang's warship, and the entire search warship also pressed up directly due to speed, overwhelming half of Kuai Liang's building ship, and the thick wooden board suddenly broke. If it weren't for the wood, it would have sunk to the bottom of the river now.
"Mr. Zirou left quickly!" Deng Long drew out his big sword and protected Kuai Yue. Deng Long could be defeated, and even told all of this fleet here, but he could not let Kuai Liang die. If Kuai Liang dies or is defeated and captured, then Deng Long is really finished. Not to mention whether his lord Huang Zu will forgive him, the Kuai family in Jingzhou can kill him!
Kuai Liang was not pretentious. When he knew that it was not a foreign relationship, he nodded and ran towards the other side under the cover of Deng Long. Although he knew a little martial arts, he was not used in the battle formation, but for self-defense alone. He could only be considered one enemy. The swords and swords in the battle formation were shadowless, so Kuai Liang chose to leave and not increase the burden on these soldiers!
The soldiers of the Jiangxia Shui Army also began to go crazy. Of course they knew Kuai Liang's identity. Kuai Liang was the head of the Kuai family, one of the four major families in Jingzhou. If Kuai Liang died here, do you think the Kuai family would let these soldiers go! Even Deng Long could not escape death, let alone other ordinary soldiers!
Chapter completed!
