The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 482 Volume Crushing
While Liu Bei was attacking from land, Cao Cao, Sun Ce and others also set out from Penglai, sailing on thousands of boats towards Sanshanpu on the opposite side.

"I already know about your brother Sun Quan's affairs."

Cao Cao was also filled with emotion as he looked at the young man in front of him, who was not very old but had experienced things that ordinary people would never experience in their entire lives.

"I met your father in the past. He entered Luoyang first and considered himself a hero! But it was a pity that he didn't know how to judge people and followed Yuan Shu... Your family has had a rough life."

The boat has now been sailing for a long time and no land can be seen in front or behind.

The boundary between the sky and the sea was blurred and vast.

Sun Ce stood at the bow of the boat and heard what Cao Cao said behind him, but he remained silent for a long time.

"My father did die early, and my brother did exceed my expectations."

"But it would be too arbitrary to say that my fate is uncertain."

Sun Ce turned sideways.

Sun Ce now does not wear the hideous mask on his face.

The wound on his cheek stretched all the way to his ear, and his once handsome face now looked unbearable to look at.

Cao Cao did not react to Sun Ce's appearance, and treated him like an ordinary person: "What do you mean by that?"

Sun Ce raised his eyes and looked to the left.

Cao Cao looked and found that it was Zhou Yu's ship.

"It is a blessing in life to have a close friend!"

"With people like Ziyi and Zijing by my side, how can I feel that fate has treated me unfairly?"

"On the contrary, my brother Sun Quan probably doesn't even have a trustworthy person around him right now, or even someone he can talk to. Just thinking about that kind of life makes me feel bored... So at this moment, it's hard to say that I, Sun Bofu, am a person with a rough fate."

For the first time, Cao Cao showed an expression of surprise.

It's really the Lion of Jiangdong!

"Besides, when I think back to my childhood, my ambition was just to accompany my father and fight for him... By some strange coincidence, I was able to rule a territory and become a local lord."

"Now that I have lost my identity, I feel a lot more relaxed."

As Sun Ce spoke, he touched his face.

Since his appearance was disfigured, Sun Ce often wore a Jiaozi mask.

It was not that Sun Ce was unwilling to face it, but because Sun Ce knew that if he continued to be a local lord, it would be impossible for him to rule the world with that kind of attitude, or even compete for the Central Plains.

Now that he has returned to being a general, he naturally doesn't need a mask anymore.

After hearing this, Cao Cao actually resonated with Sun Ce, a young man who was the same age as his son.

"My son Zhang is brave and has the ambition to be a general. If you return to Chang'an in the future, you will surely be able to be friends with him."

Chang'an...

Sun Ce looked far to the west and then he remembered that he had not seen his mother for several years.

"I will present a visiting card when I return."

It was the first time for both of them to travel on this vast ocean.

You talked to me, and I talked to you, and the two of them actually talked about something.

"General Cao, what is your intention in attacking Liaodong this time?"

At the end, Sun Ce suddenly asked a question.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "I regard you as a close friend regardless of age difference, but you actually want to use me to gain merit?"

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person that Yuan Tan is. If I really wanted to do it, I would have surrendered to the emperor in Xuzhou!"

To the north, the land and Sanshanpu could be vaguely seen.

Not only were there a large number of warships gathered on the periphery, but there were also a large number of Qi soldiers gathered on the dock.

Cao Cao held the hilt of the sword, standing at the bow of the boat, his red robe fluttering.

"But you... the emperor praised you for being good at naval warfare, but I wonder if you can break through these ships?"

Sun Ce only took one look and said confidently: "Having Gongjin is enough!"

"How about you, are you in good health? Can you deal with those infantrymen and take Sanshanpu?"

Cao Cao's nasal tone became heavier and he snorted coldly.

"Easy as a piece of cake!"

The two men looked at each other provocatively, then went back and dispatched their own ships to fight!

Needless to say.

This battle is very important for all of them!
……

Sanshanpu.

Yuan Tan personally led the Goguryeo army to fight here.

Originally, Goguryeo brought thousands of people, and later Queen Yu transferred thousands of soldiers from the country, so Yuan Tan had tens of thousands of people under his command!
Yuan Tan was confident that these troops were enough to defend against the troops sent by the Han Dynasty from the sea!
What a coincidence!

Zhou Yu, who was on the boat at the moment, thought the same thing!

At this moment, Zhou Yu's eyes were full of love. He was holding the Zhuge Crossbow and Thunderbolt Chariot on the boat with great desire, completely different from his previous demeanor.

“Whoever put this thing on the boat is a genius!”

Super genius!

It can be said that with the Zhuge Crossbow and Thunderbolt Chariot being installed on warships, the thousand-year-old tradition of naval warfare was completely overturned!

In the past, naval battles were mostly fought in cooperation with cities or passes near the water to form a unified defense line to resist the enemy... or they were just for transportation and cutting off water routes, mostly in an auxiliary role.

But with Zhuge Crossbow and Thunderbolt Chariot being loaded onto the warships, the ships now have the ability to fight on the other side of the river!
This was proven during the Battle of Hebei that year when Gao Shun's Xianzhen Camp landed at Liyang Port and used the Queyue Formation and navy to cooperate in the battle.

Not to mention that compared with Zhuge Crossbow and Thunderbolt Chariot, the original means of attack in water warfare is extremely backward!
In the past, when ships attacked, they only relied on bows and crossbows.

But now, there are stones as big as human heads and endless crossbow arrows coming at their faces. The gap is so great that it makes people's scalps numb!
"It's a pity that the range is too short, alas!"

The range of Zhuge Crossbow is only two hundred steps.

Because the Thunderbolt vehicles are to be put on board ships, they are all reduced models and their range is only a hundred steps.

"It would be great if there was a weapon with great power and long range!"

Zhou Yu couldn't even imagine how powerful it would be if that thing could be loaded onto the boat!
Shaking his head regretfully, Zhou Yu began to concentrate on dealing with the battle at hand.

Although we don't have weapons with great power and long range, with the Thunderbolt Chariot and Zhuge Crossbow, we can blow all the rotten fish and shrimps on the enemy side into the sea to feed the fish!
Seeing that they were approaching Sanshanpu, Zhou Yu immediately ordered the ships to disperse. Several towering ships that looked like mountains appeared at the front of the fleet.

on the deck.

Countless Zhuge Crossbows flashing with cold light were showing their fangs and smiling at the enemies opposite them.

"put!"

Countless crossbow arrows were thrown into the sky in an instant, like covering the sky and the sun. After drawing a graceful curve, they fell like dark clouds, heavily covering the enemy's ships, and gorgeous red flowers bloomed on the ships.

Such a brutal scene caused the whole world to pause for a moment.

Cao Ren and Cao Chun on Cao Cao's boat swallowed silently.

Too scary!

Different from others.

Back then, they had really fought against Zhuge Liannu in Jinyong City south of Luoyang City!

Now seeing Zhou Yu firing thousands of arrows without hesitation, the two of them were sure of one thing -

At that time in Jinyong City, the emperor definitely held back!

With the help of the extraordinary weapon like Zhuge Crossbow, the emperor could not annihilate them all at that time, but he could at least kill 90% of them!
The two men's Adam's apples trembled, and after looking at each other, they both tacitly understood and became clear-headed in their hearts.

……

Even the Han army was so shocked, not to mention Yuan Tan on the opposite side.

What a coincidence...

Yuan Tan happened to be the witness of the Battle of Hebei that year!
Later, he heard Gao Fan and Guan Tong mention the Han army's unreasonable weapons and inhumane tactics, but he did not take them seriously at the time.

But now it seems that the Han army’s ships are simply terrifying to the extreme!
At this moment, Yuan Tan suddenly remembered something and quickly ordered: "Withdraw all the ships! Withdraw! Don't get too close to the Han army's ships!"

But this order was obviously given too late.

At this moment, the Han army's tower ships were less than a hundred steps away from some of the enemy ships.

Many enemy soldiers were holding short blades, waiting for the two ships to get closer so that they could engage in close combat with the Han army!

after all……

Ranged arrows.

A short melee blade.

Hasn't naval battles been fought like this for thousands of years?

until……

When countless stones fired by the Thunderbolt Chariots poured down from the Han army's ships, they realized...

"Can a water battle be fought like this?"

The stone bullets fired by the Thunderbolt Chariot this time were even more brutal than the Zhuge Crossbow just now!
Although the crossbow arrows shot from Zhuge Crossbow were sharp, it was still difficult for them to penetrate some of the ship's planks.

But the stone bullets fired by the Thunderbolt Chariot are different.

Any ship that comes into contact with this thing will immediately have a hole in it!
Once a person gets close to...

……

Zhou Yu waited silently as the stone bullets on the boat were fired one after another.

Soon, there were no obstacles on the sea leading to Sanshanpu.

At this moment, Sun Ce looked at Cao Cao proudly.

Cao Cao also disdained to command personally, and let Cao Ren take over -

"Pull the boat over!"

Yuan Tan on the shore looked at the Han army's ships getting closer and closer and took a deep breath.

The defeat in the naval battle was not enough to cause any serious damage.

Both Yuan Tan himself and the Goguryeo soldiers under his command are better at land combat!

Yuan Tan believed that with his own abilities, he would be able to defend Sanshanpu and not give the Han army a chance to land!

Goguryeo King Go Yeon-woo witnessed the crushing naval battle just now with his own eyes, and his legs felt a little weak.

He trembled and asked Yuan Tan: "King of Qi... can we really defeat such an enemy?"

Yuan Tan comforted him, "Don't worry! I conquered Qingzhou by myself in the past, so I can still hold a ferry."

"Now we have to see who the general coming to attack us is..."

At this moment, the Han army ships were approaching.

Yuan Tan looked up, trying to identify the enemy's flag.

"I think it's... Cao!"

At this moment, Cao Cao could already see Yuan Tan.

When Cao Cao saw Yuan Tan, he felt very cordial.

"Nephew! Long time no see!"

"There is no point in resisting today. Why don't you come back with me and live an ordinary life like your two brothers!"

Yuan Tan’s face turned pale!

Gao Yanyou also asked: "Is he an acquaintance of the King of Qi?"

"Yes."

"Who is more powerful, him or the King of Qi?"

"..."

Yuan Tan felt a little bitter in his mouth.

Even if he wanted to tell lies, he could deceive Gao Yanyou and himself.

But in the end, he still said it insincerely -

"Of course it's him, Cao Cao, Cao Mengde!"
