Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 513 Withdrawal!

"what??"

Hearing Zhou An's words, Zhou Yu couldn't help being shocked. He looked west from the tall ship, and sure enough, he saw a forest of ships in the distance. Among the thousands of ships, there was only one tall ship. The scale of the building ships is smaller than this one, especially those warships, all of which are small warships and the like. If they really fight, their own side can easily defeat the opponent.

However, that is without the interference of Liu and the army. If one's own side is attacked by the enemy, these ships will undoubtedly pose a deadly threat.

"Damn it! At this critical moment, Guan Yu didn't want to take back the six counties in the south of Yizhou, but instead led the army here to fight. Is there something wrong with his head?"

Looking at the forest of ships on the upstream river, Zhou Yu said in a deep voice with fire in his eyes.

"Hmph, don't think that I'm afraid of you! Pass the order down, set up your formation, and face the Shu army. Now that the Jingzhou army has no bows and crossbows, and we are now on the river, they can't do anything to us at all. This time I want the Shu army to experience the power of our water battles, so that they will never dare to fight our army again!"

Zhou Yu is now very angry with the Shu army behind him, even surpassing Jiangling City, which he is about to capture, because if they attack Jiangling City, the Shu army can attack them from behind, and they can cause damage to them no matter on the river or on the ground. However, since the Jingzhou army did not have the deterrence of long-range weapons, the threat was greatly reduced, or almost negligible. It just missed the best opportunity to attack the city, and it would definitely let the opponent get a breather. If you want to continue to attack It is already impossible to build the city, but Zhou Yu can't care about it at this time. If he can achieve the record of annihilating or defeating the main force of Guan Yu's army today, he can barely offset the losses suffered by attacking Jiangling City.

Of course, in addition to this, Zhou Yu also wants to let the Jingzhou army experience the sharpness of his own water battle, let them know that although his side is not an opponent on land, but on the water, his side is still unique in the world, and he also uses this to warn Liu He. , Let Liu He put down his heart to calm Jiangdong.

Then Wu Jun rearranged his formation to face Guan Yu's water army. At the same time, he was also making a performance to show the Jingzhou army the strength of their water battle.

Although the Shu army had a lot of warships, most of them were small warships, most of which were scorpions and first boarders, and some patrol boats including yachts, red horse boats, etc., but there were only a dozen or so fighting ships as the main attacking ships. , Compared with Wu Jun's hundreds of battleships, it is really inferior. In addition, the water warfare tactics are not as proficient as Wu Jun's, so this battle is almost a doomed situation.

However, Guan Yu didn't know that Zhou Yu had made up his mind to fight him at this time, and was still thinking about fishing in troubled waters.

At this time, only the sound of horns could be heard in the distance, and the ships of the Wu army rushed towards them. Although the number of ships of the Shu army was not small, most of them were small and light ships. They are famous for their quick maneuverability, and they are best at boarding ships. However, the opponent's fighting ships are surrounded by small boats. The small boats and fighting ships form a whole, making it difficult for the small ships of the Shu army to approach from both sides. On the front, these small ships suffered The impact of the fighting ships, these small boats could not withstand the impact of the fighting ships at all, only the sound of bang bang bang bang was heard, the small boats of the Shu army were either smashed or overturned, many soldiers fell into the surging river, Struggling helplessly.

The battle lasted only half an hour, and the warships of the Shu army suffered heavy losses. It is estimated that two hundred warships of all sizes were sunk, and five to six thousand soldiers were lost. All of them were forced to jump into the river because of the shipwreck and drowned.

"Huh? How did this happen? How dare Zhou Yu's son fight our army?" Guan Yu said in a deep voice, seeing that his soldiers had lost a lot, his face was gloomy, and his fists were clenched.

Liao Li, who was accompanying him, said with a smile: "General, don't worry. Although Zhou Yu seems to be unstoppable, we should see that many of the ships are severely undermanned, and there are many corpses floating on the river ahead. It seems that it should be the corpse of Wu Jun. Zhou Yu must have suffered a big loss when he attacked Jiangling this time. Zhou Yu thought that the water battle was strong, and Jingzhou soldiers could not effectively damage him on land, so he dared to fight our army. However, he really underestimates Duke Qin, and believes that the other side must be fully prepared, so we only need to try our best to hold back the Wu army, and the Jingzhou army will definitely move in a short time."

Guan Yu nodded slightly in agreement after listening to Liao Li's words, so he passed on the generals to hold on at all costs, and those who dare to retreat will be killed without mercy. At the same time, he also ordered the front fleet to form a defensive formation and only use bows and arrows to block opponent's attack.

"Sigh, it's a pity that son Liu Qi died of illness last year, which caused the shipbuilding to be stopped halfway, and even the normal training was delayed a lot. Otherwise, the strength of our navy and navy would definitely not be inferior to Zhou Yu's."

Seeing that his side had no choice but to maintain a defensive formation and was beaten passively, Guan Yu sighed slightly in his heart, but he also knew that since the loss of Jingzhou, Liu Qi's position was already very embarrassing, especially when his elder brother Liu Bei decided to attach Liu Qi And, this made Liu Qi completely lose hope of regaining Jingzhou. Under such circumstances, Liu Qi was extremely lost, spent his days drinking to soothe his sorrows, and went fishing and hunting around for women. In the end, he fell seriously ill and died.

It is said that when Liu Qi finally died of illness, he kept saying that he regretted refusing to go to Chang'an at the beginning. Guan Yu didn't know what that meant, and at the same time he didn't pay much attention to these things.

Until now, when he saw that his own navy was not as powerful as the opponent's, Guan Yu inadvertently thought of this gloomy young man again.

However, what happened next made Guan Yu unable to think about it anymore, because the enemy broke through the barrier of the arrow rain in the front row and launched a crazy attack on the Shu army's fleet. Four ships were rammed and sunk, with four to 5000 casualties.

"Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu, it's already at this time, why don't you launch an attack? If you don't attack again, I will have to lead the army to retreat. It's not that I don't show loyalty, but I really can't bear such a loss." Seeing the heavy casualties on his own side, Guan Yu's previous determination was shaken, and he secretly made plans to retreat.

However, at this moment, Wu Jun's fleet in front of him was scattered in formation, and many ships began to flee the battlefield and retreat downstream. This surprised Guan Yu. Almost jumped up.
