Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Looking at the battle in Shu County below, Zhou Yu's eyes were full of coldness.

According to his plan, this battle should be a one-sided massacre, but he never expected that Guan Yu would use the Red Hare under his crotch to disrupt his own camp.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Zhang Fei led the cavalry to charge forward.

Zhang Fei's warhorse is not Red Hare, so naturally he cannot unleash the power of Red Hare, but once they enter between the small boats, they will minimize their speed disadvantage in the water.

If the situation continues to develop in this way, they are likely to reach a stalemate.

Zhou Yu stood at the bow, his eyes as sharp as torches, as if he could penetrate the layers of fog and see through everything.

He quickly scanned the battle situation around him, not missing any details.

Just then, his sharp eyes captured a key issue.

The cavalry led by Zhang Fei could actually attack their own soldiers so freely in the water! It was because the distance between their warships was too close!

Because the warships were arranged closely, water could not flow smoothly, resulting in a significant reduction in water resistance, giving Zhang Fei's cavalry an opportunity to take advantage.

"Ziming, quickly pass the order and have the warships move away."

Having found the root of the problem, Zhou Yu immediately issued an order, requiring the ships to keep a distance from each other.

As the command sounded, the warships began to adjust their positions and gradually moved away from each other.

Before long, the distance between the warships increased significantly. At this time, the resistance of the water began to play a role again, causing the cavalry, which was originally agile in the water, to slow down sharply.

The Jiangdong soldiers regained the initiative on the battlefield with arrows.

Looking at the arrows pouring down like rain, Zhao Yun deflected a wave of arrows with his spear and shouted: "Yun Chang, it is not appropriate to fight now, retreat quickly!"

Guan Yu kept moving his hands and shouted loudly: "Zilong, Yide, you two take the soldiers and retreat first, and I will hold them here for a while."

Zhao Yun knew that if he delayed any further, there would be heavy casualties.

"Yunchang, be careful!"

"Pass the military order, retreat immediately!"

The soldiers slowly retreated, but Zhang Fei did not make any move. Instead, he looked at Guan Yu and shouted loudly: "Second brother, I'm here to help you!"

Zhang Fei rode his horse forward, and the cavalry behind him quickly followed.

Guan Yu chopped down a Jiangdong soldier, looked at Zhang Fei who was galloping towards him, and said with a smile: "Third brother, all right, let us brothers fight these Jiangdong rats here."

Zhang Fei roared and thrust his spear out, piercing a soldier. Unexpectedly, the soldier was very brave and not only did he not panic, but he grabbed Zhang Fei's spear with both hands.

"Brothers, charge and kill him." The soldier shouted in a hoarse voice.

Zhang Fei laughed loudly, and instead of retreating, he advanced with his spear, pinning the brave soldiers directly to the deck.

Most of the Jiangdong soldiers were veterans. When they saw Zhang Fei's weapon pierced the deck, they wanted to take advantage of the gap when Zhang Fei pulled out his weapon to chop off Zhang Fei's head. However, something even more unexpected happened.

Zhang Fei did not take the opportunity to draw back his weapon, but instead roared.

"rise!"

Zhang Fei actually lifted the ship into the air.

The soldiers standing on the boat had fought in many battles and seen a lot of killings, but they had never seen such a scene.

Before they could think too much, their bodies were blown away by the boat. When they landed, several of them had already died with blood gushing out of their mouths.

No one expected Zhang Fei to be so brave. They all stood there in a daze for a moment. There were three or four soldiers on the small boat just now. The weight of these soldiers plus the boat was at least 500 kilograms. Zhang Fei actually roared and lifted it up. Is he still a human being?

Guan Yu laughed.

"Third brother is so brave, Cai!"

The cavalry behind him also shouted loudly.

"The general is brave!"

Zhou Yu, who was not far away, stared closely at the extremely brave figure on the battlefield ahead, his brows slightly furrowed, and he became secretly alert in his heart.

The Zhang Fei in front of me is so brave!

Just his amazing action of lifting the hull just now was enough to make Zhou Yu realize that this man's strength was unfathomable.

Among all the generals in Jiangdong, there are only a few who have such divine power.

Even Xiang Yu, the King of Chu, who was famous for his strength to lift a tripod, was probably no more than this!

At this moment, a general at the side stepped forward, his eyes flashing with the desire to fight: "General, Zhang Fei is so brave, I am willing to go and fight him."

The general beside Zhou Yu was named Lu Meng. When he was young, he was also a ruthless man who would take up a knife and attack others if he disagreed with something. When he saw Zhang Fei being so arrogant, how could he bear it in his heart?

Zhou Yu's face was calm, and he said calmly, "Ziming, Zhang Fei is brave and valiant, there is no need to fight him.

A general is more about strategy than courage. You must remember this. As a general, you should first focus on strategy, and then on courage. "

Looking at Zhou Yu, who had a calm expression in front of him, Lu Meng couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.

Being able to remain calm and composed in such a tense situation, and still be able to chat and laugh, is truly admirable.

This fierce battle quickly drew to a close, and it is not difficult to understand why. Despite the bravery of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the cavalry they led were clearly at a disadvantage when fighting in the water against the powerful Jiangdong navy.

Guan Yu secretly thought that Zhao Yun had successfully led everyone to withdraw from the battlefield, so he ordered the army to retreat quickly.

"Don't chase a desperate enemy!" Zhou Yu said calmly, and waved his hand calmly to signal to stop the pursuit.

His eyes were deep as he scanned the chaotic scene on the battlefield, silently thinking about his next move.

At this time, he chose to let the soldiers take a short rest, and at the same time ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up quickly and prepare for retreat.

After a busy check and statistics, Zhou Yu learned the casualties on both sides.

Judging from the statistics, they achieved a glorious victory, but Zhou Yu's face was extremely solemn and he showed no joy at all.

Because the development of this battle was completely different from his expectations, there were many unexpected variables that he was caught off guard by.

Originally, Zhou Yu believed that after flooding Shu County, he would win a resounding victory and completely defeat the enemy with unstoppable force.

But it turned out that he underestimated the strength and courage of Liu Huangshu's army. Guan Yu actually wielded the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in adversity, causing a bit of chaos in his own army.

This feat made Zhou Yu look at the soldiers under Liu Huangshu with new respect and realize that they were much stronger than he had imagined.

Faced with such a strong opponent, Zhou Yu knew that if he wanted to completely defeat Liu Yu, he must have a more careful strategic layout.

However, he did not feel anxious or uneasy because of this. Instead, he thought more calmly about his future plans.

In his eyes, this battle was just an exploratory confrontation, and the real decisive battle should be on the Yangtze River.

Only in that vast expanse of water could he display his military talent and win the final victory.
