There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

There are even a lot of warships, because of the inexperience of the oarsmen and pole-pole soldiers, they started to circle in place. Like the water free show competition, they completely broke away from the fun of low-level warfare, and swayed in the water independently, completely ignoring Others.

There are even collisions between friendly troops and friendly warships.

In such an embarrassing situation, the soldiers of the two armies on the battlefield, which could not be separated for a while, stood at a distance, holding swords and shields, screaming, shaking and desperately slashing at the enemy on the boat. and go.

Some soldiers fell into the water, some were injured, and some were even dizzy. While fighting, like Guo Jia and Ji Ling, they spit yellow water out of their mouths.

The water battle has become such a virtue, it is really a bit horrible.

But water battles are like this, requiring extremely strong practicality and training. Without these as a prerequisite, it is not surprising what kind of water battles are fought.

Especially here, it is still the Yangtze River with huge waves and swift currents.

The potter was behind, his eyelids twitching.

If this style of play is seen by a real expert in water warfare, it is estimated that they will laugh out loud.

Yuan Shu didn't have as much face as a potter, and in Yuan Laoer's mind, it didn't matter whether the battle was well fought or not.

What matters is that he wins!

"Hit! Hit me hard! Annihilate all these thieves, leave no one behind! Cut them all into the river to feed the fish and shrimp!"

While Yuan Shu punched on tiptoe, he did not forget to urge Le Jiu who was in charge of the water battle.

Le didn't dare to be negligent, and kept sending orders to let the three-wing warships on the left, center and right continue to attack and advance.

As a result, over time, although both sides were not good at water battles, Yuan Shu's army, which had the advantage of warships and numbers, gradually gained the upper hand in this close-range fight.

The potter couldn't help sweating on his forehead as he watched.

"Brother Feng Xiao, in this situation, we should have already lost, right? There is no need to use this method to continue to consume Yuan Shu. I don't want the vital strength of Danyang County to be wasted in this ridiculous battle!"

Guo Jia took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his mouth lightly.

He squinted his eyes and carefully observed the battle in the distance for a while, and after a while, the prodigal son finally nodded in satisfaction.

"It's almost there. In this situation, we are basically doomed. Yuan Shu suppressed our army with the advantage of warships and numbers. As expected, the lord of the government can give Xu Rong an order to inform the ships to start. Return sail and retreat!"

The pottery merchant's order was quickly passed on to Xu Rong's warship through Lingqi.

At this moment, Xu Rong couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately ordered to pass the flag order to each ship to turn the bow of the ship and evacuate quickly.

The soldiers of Tao Shang's army were very unfamiliar with sailing and turning the rudder. Coupled with the back and forth fluctuations in the wind direction and water current, Tao Shang's army retreated and flew into many battles. At this time, Yuan Shu defeated many soldiers. The boat fell into the river and many soldiers were killed.

Thanks to the fact that Yuan Shujun's naval tactics are as bad as those of Tao Shang's army, many Yuan soldiers watched the warships of Tao merchants move, but they made mistakes because of the rapid water flow or the change of wind direction. Got it.

If it were replaced by famous generals such as Zhou Yu or Lu Meng of the Eastern Wu Dynasty in history, half of the potter's navy would have been captured on the Yangtze River today.

But even so, the potter's navy still lost more than 30 warships, causing heavy casualties.

Seeing the loss of his own troops due to this water battle, Tao Shang felt a deep sorrow and sadness in his heart.

Guo Jia had already regained his composure at this moment. He tremblingly came to the potter's side, took a deep look at the pottery merchant, then raised his hand and patted the pottery merchant's shoulder heavily, and said helplessly: "The big fight The thing is, is this the way to fight? Losses are inevitable, and there are gains when there are sacrifices. It is quite helpless, so there is no need to worry too much."

The pottery smiled bitterly, shook his head, and didn't say anything.

How many good men have died in the river, but what can I do?

I am a time traveler, not a fairy.

Some things, after all, can not be perfect.

"Brother Guo said, I understand everything, no need to say more, quickly withdraw the troops!"

Compared with the loss of the pottery merchant, Yuan Shu's current fighting spirit is very high.

Seeing the corpses of dozens of warships left behind by the pottery merchant, and the rest fleeing against the current, Yuan Shu's face suddenly showed excitement.

The defeat in the Ruxuwu battle made Yuan Shu's mood seriously depressed for a long time. Now that he can regain the initiative on the battlefield, Yuan Shu was so excited that he was about to explode.

It's a pity that he is still in his prime now, if he was older, he might have a cerebral hemorrhage due to excitement all of a sudden.

"Advance the army, enter the army! Whatever you say today, you must capture Tao thief alive! Yuan Mou wants this kid to kneel in front of Yuan Mou! Order the soldiers of the three armies to attack Jinling City!"

Chapter 239 Gan Ning and Zhou Tai Attack

The two water armies, one in front and the other in the back, went straight down the river, heading straight for Jinling City on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

After traveling about ten miles on the waterway, a side branch waterline appeared on the south side of the Yangtze River, and the potter's naval warships were rushing into it one after another.

Yuan Shu was vigorously urging Le Ji to quickly drive the large and small warships into the waterway, but his heart suddenly woke up, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at Yan Xiang.

Sure enough, at this moment Yan Xiang also turned his head to look at Yuan Shu with a deep expression.

The eyes of the two were meaningful, and there was a hint of vigilance between each other.

But seeing that waterway twice, the land has been gradually revealed, and there are still a few layers of hills on the table, and the terrain is relatively high. If ships drive into it along the current, there are coincidentally hidden in the mountains and forests on both sides. The ambush soldiers with strong bows and crossbows will shoot wildly at the warships on the river...

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu couldn't help taking a deep breath, he turned his head to look at Yan Xiang, and praised: "Thanks to Master Yan's warning in advance, otherwise, under the chasing after the victory, it is really possible for Yuan to fall into the hands of the potter. Children's tricks!"

Yan Xiang waved his hands modestly, and said respectfully: "The general is wise and powerful, and I'm just making a few points, it's not a big deal."

Yuan Shu looked at the Jinling navy that had already entered the narrow road, and then asked Yan Xiang: "Then according to the director's opinion, what should Yuan do next?"

Yan Xiang curled the beard on his chin with his fingers, and replied with a smile: "This matter is easy, since the potter's navy wants to lure us into the waterway, let them go in by themselves, General Don't pay attention to him, let's turn the bow of the boat and go straight to Jinling City. After Xumi, the potter's navy will have to chase it out by itself. At that time, we will find an opportunity to turn the bow of the navy and wipe them out. General, the initiative to fight or not to fight is in our hands this time."

Yuan Shu laughed loudly, and gave Yan Xiang a thumbs up.

Yan Xiang is worthy of being the number one think tank under his command, and he changed hands in a flash.

Yuan Shu's water army turned the bow of the boat immediately, regardless of the pottery merchants who rushed into the river, but directed the water army to continue down the river, heading straight for the direction of Jinling City.

Of course, Yuan Shu didn't withdraw all the sailors, he also left a few surveillance boats at the mouth of the river, closely watching how the potter's sailors will move next.

The water army traveled another ten miles, and the small boat monitoring the river channel grasped the thought, then turned the bow of the boat, speeded up and approached Yuan Shu's main team of warships, and waved the flag to the main boat to deliver a coded semaphore.

Le squinted his eyes, observed carefully for a while, and grinned heartily: "Yan Zhu is so lucky! The potter's water army really came out from the river, and at this time they are closely chasing our water. Jun, his speed is much faster than when we first met them, judging from the situation, Tao is really in a hurry."

Yuan Shu was greatly comforted when he heard the words. He clapped his hands, and his words were full of pride: "You little thief from the Tao family, you look down on me so much? How dare you use some shallow tricks to make a fool of yourself? Can you fool your empress general?" ? Now your ambush is completely useless, and you are still behind Yuan Mou, this Jinling City, Yuan Mou wants to see what you use to defend!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Shu saw Le and ordered: "Command the various departments of the navy, let's not worry about the Tao bandits behind us for now, let's just speed up the march and go down the river to take Jinling City! And let the pottery boy stay behind, Taste what it's like to have a soul collapse!"

"promise!"
