I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

When the enemy met, he was extremely jealous.

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, wishing he could rush over and cut Cao Mao in two!

But at this moment, it is about the life and death of both parties.

Zhou Yu forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and glanced at the Cao Jun warship opposite him.

He thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice,

"Use semaphore to tell other warships to come closer!"

"Does the governor want to fight Cao Jun?"

Lu Meng was startled, and asked immediately.

"Not bad!"

Zhou Yu's face was gloomy and cold, his eyes were fixed on Cao Mao who was opposite, and he said coldly,

"My Jiangdong warships are tall and strong, and the sailors are also elite."

"In contrast to Cao Jun, their warships are not as good as ours, and most of their soldiers are not familiar with water!"

"If we really want to fight, we will win!"

Although his remarks were impeccable on the surface, the Jiangdong military generals present were all well versed in water warfare, so they were naturally not fools.

They are now in an ambush, and it is the best policy to evacuate as soon as possible.

It's just that the waterway to retreat to Ruxukou has been blocked by the wreckage of two burned battleships, and it is very difficult to withdraw safely.

Therefore, it is really helpless to fight against Cao Jun.

However, although everyone knew it clearly, no one pointed it out, and they all accepted orders suddenly.
"Here!"

As the semaphore conveyed the military order, the generals of other warships got the news and gathered towards Zhou Yu's Feiyun.

Most naval battles in the world are mainly boarding battles.

The warships of the two sides shot at each other with bows and arrows before approaching each other.

Then the distance was shortened, and the ram angle of the bow was used to ram the opponent's ship.

In the end, the ships were close together, and the soldiers jumped over to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Zhou Yu relied on Feiyun's large size and strong hull, and wanted to use it as the center to gather other warships.

It is to imagine that in land warfare, in hand-to-hand combat, to avoid the enemy from the front and back.

And in this way, the advantages of the solid hull of one's own side can also be greatly utilized.

The warships from Jiangdong came together, with the stern facing inward and the ramming angle of the bow facing outward.

The formation of the entire fleet, like a hedgehog with spikes all over its body, is hard to swallow.

Zhou Yu couldn't help showing a smug smile at the corner of his mouth.

Cao Mao.

Even if you are invincible in a land battle, this is a water battle.

On the water, I, Jiangdong, are invincible!

……

Cao Jun warship.

Gan Ning watched the Jiangdong warships gather in formation, and couldn't help but frown.

"Damn it, Zhou Yu is really cunning this week!"

The current situation is really a bit tricky.

Go ahead, Zhou Yu on the opposite side has already set up a posture. With the performance of Cao Jun's warship, it is naturally inferior to Jiangdong.

But if you don't rush, it's meaningless to fight the opponent hard.

This place is only one or two hours away from Ruxukou by water.

When Jiangdong gets the news, it will definitely send people to support.

At that time, there is only one way to retreat.

How to fight this battle?
"My lord, what should I do?"

Rao was born as a water thief in Ganning, so it was a bit difficult.

"Xingba, fighting requires brains, not brute force."

Cao Mao smiled lightly.

He nodded to the flag bearer beside him.

The standard bearer waved the flag in his hand and passed orders to other warships.

After a while, several ballistas were launched from the bows of all Cao Jun's warships!
It wasn't long before Cao Maocai replaced Cao Cao to take over the government, and the dragon, lion and wolf three-tier warship had not yet been built.

In terms of warship performance, it is naturally impossible to compete with Jiangdong.

But Cao Mao came from later ages, so how can his vision and knowledge be compared with that of later generations?

For the Three Kingdoms period, where technology is underdeveloped, the power of ballistas is equivalent to that of cannons!

So Cao Mao had an idea and ordered Lu Xiaohang to modify the ballista and install it on the warship.

In addition, several small trebuchets were also installed.

Looking at the gleaming ballista arrows, not to mention Gan Ning, even Zhou Yu and other Jiangdong generals were shocked!
After all, the Three Kingdoms period was still dominated by land battles, and water battles rarely occurred.

No one expected that Cao Mao would have such a whimsical idea to install ballistas and trebuchets on warships!
Following Cao Mao's order, dozens of crossbow arrows on Cao Jun's warships shot out in volley!

The thick arrows flew across the lake, and precisely hit the outermost ships.

"Kach", "Kach", sawdust flying around!

After the first round of salvo, the ships were blown away, and even one of the ships started to take in water and sink slowly!

"Captain! You can't stick to it!"

Ling Tong cried out.

Dense sweat slid down from Zhou Yu's forehead.

He squeezed the railing tightly, his expression could no longer remain calm.

He claims to be proficient in water warfare, but this is the first time he has encountered such a situation!
Why is Cao Mao so cunning? !
Lu Meng on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice,
"Captain, if you want to regain your advantage now, you must kill them and fight them!"

Zhou Yu came to his senses instantly, and said hoarsely,
"Quickly, engage in a boarding battle!"

If they continue to maintain their formation, they can only be beaten passively until Cao Jun's crossbow bolts are exhausted.

But who knows how many crossbows Cao Jun has prepared!
If you want to win in danger, you must fight out.

Relying on the advantages of one's own hull to ram, and then relying on soldiers who are proficient in water warfare to carry out boarding battles, it might not be impossible to turn defeat into victory!

As the flag bearer beat out the flag language, the Jiangdong warships that finally gathered slowly dispersed again and approached Cao Jun actively!

But Cao Mao has the advantage of shooting range, so how can he easily engage in a side-to-side battle with Zhou Yu?

He made the standard bearer wave the flag again and ordered a retreat.

Cao Jun's warships that came to Chaohu to participate in the battle this time were all carefully selected by Cao Mao.

Their defenses are relatively weak, but their sailing speed is extremely fast.

As soon as the Jiangdong warship approached, Cao Jun's warship retreated, and in the blink of an eye, he opened the distance again and continued to shoot with the ballista!

Zhou Yu and others chased but couldn't catch up, defended but couldn't defend, and could only be passively beaten for a while.

Just at this moment, Cao Jun has already fired ten rounds of crossbow arrows!

Although the lethality was not as good as the first round because the Jiangdong warships had dispersed, it still dealt a heavy blow to the Jiangdong Navy.

Since the two sides officially started the war, Zhou Yu's side has lost four fighting ships, six warships, and several other warships were damaged.

On the other hand, Cao Mao's casualties were almost zero!
Looking at the drowning soldiers who were shouting for help not far away, Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Ling Tong, Jiang Qin and others were bleeding from their hearts!

"Send someone to rescue them!"

Zhou Yu took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and ordered in a hateful voice,
"Turn around, clear the waterway, retreat!"

Lu Meng, Ling Tong and others were dumbfounded.

In this case, it is necessary to forcibly clean up the waterway. Is that no different from sending someone to death?
"The governor..."

Just as Lu Meng was about to say something, Zhou Yu glared at him and said viciously,
"If not, tell me what to do?"
