Chapter 1086 Water Battle
? Sun Ce refused to surrender, which was also expected.
In fact, the two of them had nothing to talk about, and their friendship had long since disappeared. In the past few years, the two sides have been messing with each other, so there is no friendship at all.
Sun Ce went back, and Zhang Yu also left.
"My lord, when will the war start?" Dian Wei was more concerned about when the war will start, and Zhang Yu asked just after he came back.
"Don't worry, when the waterway is ready, attack from two directions." Zhang Yu said.
Naturally, the waterway is not to attack the city, but to attack the camp in Chibi.
After waiting for two days, the navy arrived, passing through Jiangxiakou.
When Sun Ce was on the city, he could see Jiangdong's water army like a long dragon, with hundreds of ships, big and small, rushing upstream.
"attack."
The waterway attacked, and Zhang Yu and the others naturally wanted to attack, and the soldiers began to attack the city wall.
The morale is high, and the soldiers are all trying their best to charge hard.
On the way, the army stormed the city.
On the river, the water army went to Chibi.
In Chibi, Zhou Yu built many fire boats and many lit rafts, and went downstream.
He tried to burn the Jiangdong fleet.
Zhou Yu was upstream, and the fire boat could directly charge down.
A large number of fire boats and bamboo rafts make it difficult for downstream ships to avoid.
"Go on top of the boat and move the fire boat out of the way."
The three ships in front caught fire, and the general of the water army let the small boats open the way ahead and moved the fire boats away.
There were a lot of fire boats, and it was very troublesome to clean them up. Many small boats also caught fire.
But as long as you stop them and let them burn, it will be fine if the ship burns and sinks after a long time.
It's just that, it's very time-consuming.
time wasted, time wasted,
The fire boat must also be cleared.
It took more than two hours to burn down more than a dozen small boats and three large boats before clearing all the fire boats on the river.
After the fleet is sorted out, continue to set off.
The fleet continued to move forward, and Zhou Yu was ready ahead.
When the fleet approached Chibi, Zhou Yu personally led the fleet to attack.
They lay in ambush by the river, and suddenly a large number of ships rushed out from both sides.
"Small boats go up to defend against the enemy, and don't let the opponent's fleet collide."
Although being ambushed, Jiangdong's fleet was prepared and did not panic.
Zhou Yu's fleet was fast, the boats were going along the water, and the sailors were still rowing desperately.
"ignition."
Several rows of small boats in front lit a fire, causing the boats to ram.
The momentum is very fierce, and the speed is very fast.
Inevitably, many of the ships in front were rammed, or even directly overturned, and sank into the river.
Some sailors took out long wooden sticks to stop Zhou Yu's ships.
This time, Zhou Yu's fire boat was only ignited after it got close, and it burned longer and more intensely.
Several ships were set on fire, and the sailors put out the fires in various ways, and some of the drinking water on board was also poured out.
"kill."
The battle drums on the river were beating, and Zhou Yu came to kill with an army.
Zhou Yu was very powerful, and the fleet rushed over quickly. The soldiers on the ship shot arrows and killed the Tang army.
Very sharp, after killing them, Datang's fleet was hit head-on and suffered a lot of losses.
Datang's generals ordered a counterattack, and several crossbow arrows were shot out, stopping the enemy's arrogance.
"Directly hit the past in the middle, keep hitting."
The generals of the Tang Dynasty discovered that although the enemy was formidable, the ships were not as advanced or as numerous as theirs.
So breaking through from the middle, the enemy wanted to surround them, while Datang's army wanted to directly separate the enemy from the middle, and then divide and annihilate them.
The two armies began to compete for dominance.
Datang's army is relatively large and much stronger, and there are many crossbow arrows. They rushed forward vigorously, and the sailors on both sides of the ship attacked the enemy.
However, Zhou Yu's army still had an advantage, trying to continue to besiege Datang's fleet.
A fierce battle broke out between the two sides on the water, and the fighting was fierce.
But Datang's army was more advanced after all, so they rushed directly to the front, paying the price of sinking several large ships, and split the enemy army in half.
Zhou Yu was in a hurry, so half of the fleet lost command.
Zhou Yu didn't expect Datang's fleet to be so powerful.
I have never heard of such an army in Datang before, and even thought it was recruited temporarily.
But they don't know that Datang's navy is more established than anyone else and has been training at sea for many years.
At this time, it is finally possible to fight.
The soldiers who operate the crossbow are very proficient. Although it is the first time to fight, they are not used to it at first, but after they get used to it, they will show their power.
A large number of crossbow arrows, like shelling, put Zhou Yu's fleet into a defensive state.
Datang's army finally rushed from the head of Zhou Yu's army to the tail, dividing their fleet into two.
Zhou Yu originally planned to use the fleets on both sides to besiege them.
I didn't expect Datang's fleet to be so courageous, and they rushed in directly, not afraid of being pinched from both sides.
Zhou Yu had no choice but to continue fighting with them.
When the fleet behind caught up, Zhou Yu knew that there was no other way.
So I could only take part of the fleet back to guard the camp.
There are generational and quantitative differences between the two armies.
It takes a lot of wealth to build a fleet, and the maintenance cost in the middle is very high.
Therefore, Zhou Yu couldn't fight and retreated to the water village.
Datang's fleet encircled and wiped out another part of the fleet.
Several large ships surrounded them, firing arrows and arrows at once, and they were beaten to the point where they had no strength to fight back.
Zhou Yu went back with a bad face all the time.
"Immediately send someone to report to the lord and inform the situation here." Just after returning, Zhou Yu said to the soldiers around him.
Zhou Yu's tactics and command are fine, but his intelligence is not very good.
Zhang Yu's strategy is to clear the field on both sides of the army first, and not give them too many opportunities to scout their own fleet.
Although they knew that the number was huge this time, they did not know the specific configuration nor the level of the navy.
A big mistake was made when formulating the tactics.
This navy was not formed recently, but a navy that was established a long time earlier than them.
It was not surprising that Zhou Yu was defeated. Zhang Yu's family's navy had been training at sea, and no one knew about it. Zhang Yu rarely let them go into battle.
Now that they have just joined the battle, their opponents are used to fighting with Cai Mao and the others. When they met Zhang Yu's army, they couldn't get used to it all of a sudden, and they were defeated.
It took more than half a day to annihilate the remaining ships. After this battle, it was already dark.
The Datang navy took the initiative to retreat.
It was a bit cold at night, but the hearts of Zhou Yu's army were even cooler.
At Jiangxiakou, Zhang Yu also stopped attacking. After a day of attacking, little progress was made.
Sun Ce has reached the last moment, and it is impossible to give in a little bit. As long as Zhang Yu is blocked, they will have a chance of survival.
The battle situation is no longer a matter between Zhang Yu and Sun Ce. Cai Hao and Cao Cao are more anxious than Sun Ce. Only Liu Bei has just obtained Shuchuan, and Shuchuan is not easy to attack.
