The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 173 Feng Xi Comes to Aid
On the river, Zhou Yu tried his best but could not break through the obstruction of the Jiangxia Navy. The Jiangdong Navy was also unable to use the iron chains of the Jiangxia Navy to connect the ships because there was no preparation in advance.

First of all, the method of attacking with fire cannot be used, because Jiangxia's navy is upstream, even if soldiers are sent to row the fire boat over, and then retreat after setting fire, they can use long poles to push the fire boat away, and then the fire boat will definitely go smoothly Then flowed into the fleet of Jiangdong Navy.In the Battle of Chibi in the original work, Cao's army was on the west bank of the Yangtze River, and the Sun and Liu coalition were on the east bank. The water flowed north, which is different from here.

Secondly, there were no trebuchets installed on the warships of the Jiangdong navy. They relied on their own navy to be invincible in the world, and they always relied on side-to-side battles to win water battles.At most, some Jiangxia soldiers could be killed by the heavy crossbow on the ship, but the iron chain ship could not be injured.

Even if the Jiangdong army sent water ghosts to dive into the water to dig the boat, it would not work. The iron chain and the boat are too big to sink if you dig them for a day.

So this iron chain ship is indeed very useful in water battles. Otherwise, why would Cao Cao use it?Is Cao Cao a fool?In this era, there are not many people who are smarter than Cao Cao, and there are many advisers around him. Cheng Yu also pointed out the shortcomings of iron chains and boats, which are afraid of fire, but Cao Cao did not expect the southeast wind to blow in the winter.

Even if Cao Cao's iron chain ship was burned down by Zhou Yu, it does not mean that the iron chain ship was not easy to use and could not be used. Some people continued to use it later.

When the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed Wu, Wang Jun, the governor of Yizhou, still used iron chains to connect ships, and he built even bigger ships. "Wu Jing Zong Yao" records: It is a large ship, with a distance of [-] steps, and more than [-] people.Taking wood as the city, building towers and oars, opening four doors, all of them have to ride horses to and fro.

This is equivalent to a city that moves on water. Wu Guo's water army couldn't resist it, so he had to connect iron locks and iron cones on the Yangtze River, so that Wang Jun's water castle could not pass through.Later, Wang Jun set fire and broke the iron lock, and the big ship went down the river, finally destroying Soochow.

Of course, this iron-chained boat also has shortcomings, at least it is not flexible, and it is a big target on the water. If it is in the lower reaches of the river, it will be burned out.

But the purpose of the Jiangxia navy is to block the Jiangdong navy. I will stop here and block the channel of the river. If you want to get over, get rid of me first. Therefore, the Jiangdong army can only rely on the numerical advantage to attack one wave after another. Bodi launched an attack, intending to kill Jiangxia's navy.

And Jiangxia Navy is indeed about to lose its hold. After all, thirty thousand men are fighting against one hundred thousand men, and the opponent is the strongest navy in the world.If Zhang Wu, Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Wenpin, and Wei Yan were the super-luxury lineup on land during the Jiangxia City Battle, then Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Xu Sheng, Zhou Tai, Pan Zhang, Dong Xi, Jiang Xia The team composed of Qin, Ling Tong and others is the water dream team.

Gan Ning had resisted for so long on his own, and he was proud of himself in the world.

Gan Ning really laughed, because he saw the thick smoke rising from the upper reaches, which was a signal for the reinforcements to come. With the reinforcements, the soldiers had hope and could continue to persevere. Gan Ning knew that Jingzhou had won the battle.

"Brothers, our reinforcements are here! General Ding must have won the battle, let the Jiangdong dogs have a taste of our power!" Gan Ning shouted loudly, and the Jiangxia soldiers' morale suddenly boosted and they fought back vigorously.

The first to arrive was the [-] Jiangling navy led by Feng Xi. Although the strength of the Jiangling navy was worse than that of the Xiangyang navy, it was at least much stronger than when Zhang Yun was in charge. It just lacked some actual combat experience. Together, it is no problem to rely on the iron chain ship to defend.

"General Feng Xi pays homage to General Yangwei. It's too late. Please punish me, General!" Feng Xi saluted.

"It's not too late, Xiu Yuan came just in time, how is the battle in Xiangyang?" Gan Ning asked.

"General Fenwei has defeated Cao Cao's navy and captured Cao Cao's general, General Jin, alive. It is estimated that the battlefield has been cleared by now and is on the way to support!"

"Okay! Cheng Yuan did a good job! Haha, this time Cao Cao must be honest! The governor must have beaten Cao Ren to death. This time, Jingzhou is as stable as Mount Tai. I think Sun Quan's son will soon retreat!"

In the Jiangdong army, Sun Quan saw that he was unable to defeat the Jiangxia navy for a long time, and the Jiangdong army had been blocked here all the time. look?How can I compete for Jiangxia County and Nan County?
Sun Quan was about to order the entire army to attack and destroy all the [-] Jiangxia naval forces at all costs. Suddenly he heard huge cheers from the opposing army, and asked, "What happened?"

Zhou Yu looked at the thick smoke soaring into the sky, and replied: "Master, it should be the other party who came to reinforce the army. I'm afraid Cao Jun is in danger!"

Cao Cao in Xiangyang is fighting the decisive battle between the navy and the Xiangyang navy. If the opponent has reinforcements, he should go to help the Xiangyang navy first. Now that the reinforcements are here, it can only mean that there is no need for reinforcements in Xiangyang.

"How could this happen! Didn't Cao Cao have [-] naval troops? How many people are there in Xiangyang's naval army? Cao Cao was defeated so quickly?" Sun Quan felt a little incredible. His own army of [-] troops defeated another's [-] troops, and the battle lasted two days. It's still a stalemate, but it's over over there!

Zhou Yu didn't expect this result either. In his mind, if the Jiangxia navy dared to come out for a decisive battle, with the strength of the Jiangdong navy, it shouldn't be a problem to defeat the Jiangxia navy.At that time, the entire river will be controlled by the Jiangdong Army. They can take the opportunity to occupy Jiangxia and divide their forces to capture Jiangling. It doesn't matter who wins or loses between Cao Cao and Zhang Wu. At worst, they will be dealt with together.

If the Jiangxia navy did not dare to come out and instead chose to defend Jiangxia City, it would be giving up control of the river. Then the Jiangdong army would divide into two groups, taking Jiangling as the main force along the way, thus cutting off Zhang Wu's foundation.The other group worked with Cao's army to surround the city of Jiangxia. As long as Jiangling and Xiangyang fell, Jiangxia would fall sooner or later.

It can be said that this is the best time to annihilate the Jiangxia water army. As long as the Jiangxia water army is wiped out, then the Xiangyang water army and the Jiangling water army will be nothing to fear, and will be wiped out one by one by the Jiangdong water army.At that time, Jingzhou can be said to be the back garden of the Jiangdong Navy, and they can come whenever they want.

However, although Jiangxia's navy came out to fight against Jiangdong's navy, they made this chained boat. Relying on this kind of water fortress, although Jiangxia's navy suffered nearly [-] casualties, they still blocked Jiangdong's army for two days.But in these critical two days, Cao Jun's navy was defeated, and the battle situation changed fundamentally. Xiangyang was as stable as Mount Tai, and Xiangyang navy and Jiangling navy could come to support Jiangxia with confidence.

Now Sun Quan and Zhou Yu's only hope is that Cao Ren and Li Dian can take Jiangxia. Jiangxia's navy can only retreat to Xiangyang.
