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

Chapter 418 The whole army was wiped out and retreated in a hurry

Zhang Fei's heart sank, and he looked towards the river, witnessing with his own eyes the scene where more than a dozen coalition ships were sunk by artillery.

"not good!"

Zhang Fei's complexion changed drastically, he stood up and shouted sharply,

"Go and support them!"

Liu Feng also realized the seriousness of the problem.

If they can't successfully destroy the Jingzhou navy, they won't be able to take the coalition ships back to Jiangxia County!
Under the urging of the two, after a short rest, the [-] soldiers rushed towards Jiangling City!
Finally, after the fifth salvo of Cao Jun's artillery, they reached the city of Jiangling!

But at this moment, the coalition fleet has already suffered heavy casualties.

On Cao Jun's side, from the initial chaos, it gradually stabilized.

Cai Mao successfully boarded his own building boat and commanded the rest of the boats, just sticking to the shore.

Cao Jun's troops in the city also came out, using ballistas to fight back against the walking boats and boats near the shore.

Facing Zhang Fei's troops who suddenly came out, after a brief period of confusion, Cao Jun sorted out his men and horses to block their impact.

"Hey!"

"what!"

Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear kept assassinating Cao's soldiers.

But no matter how bravely he kills the enemy, he can't kill the enemy at all!

He looked up blankly.

I saw dense numbers of soldiers of Cao Jun pouring out of Jiangling City in an endless stream.

On the river not far away, there are very few coalition fleets left.

"Third Uncle, get out!"

Liu Feng shouted anxiously.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the raid is over.

It is absolutely impossible for Zhang Fei and Liu Feng to go back by boat!

If you want to go back safely, you must retreat!

Thinking of this, Zhang Fei no longer hesitated, nodded heavily,
"withdraw!"

They are running away here.

On the ship in the distance, the sergeant with better eyesight who was in charge of looking out immediately passed the news to Su Fei and Jiang Qin.

"This Zhang Fei, bastard!"

Su Fei cursed.

Jiang Qin on the side didn't say a word.

They also knew the situation on the shore at a glance. It was a bit unrealistic to expect Zhang Fei's 1 troops to resist Cao Jun's counterattack and destroy the artillery.

"Let's withdraw too."

Jiang Qin sighed,

"This time it can be regarded as a heavy blow to Cao Jun's navy."

"it is good!"

Su Fei glanced bitterly at Cai Mao's only remaining boat on the shore not far away, and said unwillingly,
"withdraw!"

But before the news of the retreat was released, another round of Cao Jun's artillery fire was fired.

Su Fei and Jiang Qin, who had just turned around, suddenly heard the people around them yelling in horror,

"Captain Su!"

"General Jiang!"

The two were taken aback, and turned around subconsciously.

I saw the lead bullets overwhelming the sky, aiming at their building ship!

The expressions of all the people watching the battle on the top of the building changed wildly!
On the other hand, Cao Mao on the city wall, with an indifferent expression, whispered to himself,
"It's not that easy to escape."

Although the ship was far away from the battlefield, a dozen lead bullets still hit the hull of the ship when it was under fire.

Rao is the commanding building ship, which is far taller and stronger than ordinary fighting ships, but it cannot withstand such bombardment.

The lead bullets pierced the hull and bounced back and forth on the ship. I don't know how many soldiers were crushed to death!
All of a sudden, there was a chaotic "click" sound, and sawdust flew across.

This is not the most deadly.

The deadliest thing was the bottom of the hull, which had been hit by a buckshot and had a huge hole.

Biting river water is pouring into the bottom of the boat crazily!

Su Fei poked his head out, and when he saw this scene, his complexion turned pale!

"It's over! General Jiang, what should I do..."

He was bewildered for a moment, and looked at Jiang Qin begging for help.

However, Jiang Qin and Chen Wu had already made up their minds.

The two took off their armor and said helplessly,

"I can only ask for luck!"

After saying this, they quickly rushed to the deck, jumped into the river!

Su Fei, Deng Long and others were left with a confused look on their faces.

They reacted later, took off their armor one after another, and jumped into the river!
Just after the people on the building boat jumped into the river to escape for their lives, another round of artillery salvo was fired.

The building boat couldn't bear such a blow at all, and began to slowly sink towards the bottom of the river.

Those soldiers who had no time to escape were attracted by the vortex caused by the sinking of the ship, and then sank to the bottom of the river.

And as the building ship as the command ship was sunk by artillery, the battle was completely over.

……

Cao Mao walked down the city wall slowly and just walked out of the city gate.

I saw Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and others walking forward with excitement.

"Haha, if Liu Bei and Sun Quan knew about it, they would be pissed to death!"

Ma Chao laughed.

"The entire fleet that raided Jiangling this time was wiped out. Presumably they were also seriously injured, and they were unable to dare to attack again in a short time."

There was also a smile on Zhao Yun's face.

It's just that Cai Mao next to him seemed hesitant to speak.

Cao Mao glanced at him and said with a faint smile,

"General Degui, just say what you want to say."

Cai Mao hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously,

"Although the future fleet is almost wiped out, our loss is not small. From this point of view, our loss should be the biggest..."

Because of being hit suddenly.

In the battle just now, two-thirds of Cai Mao's fleet was destroyed!
The remaining ships were also mostly damaged.

Although compared with the coalition fleet, their losses were relatively light.

But you must know that Sun Quan in Jiangdong is famous for his navy.

Although Huang Zu is not as good as Sun Quan, several shipyards in Jingzhou are also located in Jiangxia County.

As long as the coalition forces are given time, they can rebuild a new fleet.

On the other hand, on Cao Mao's side, the only thing he can rely on is Cai Mao's navy!

Hearing Cai Mao's words, Cao Mao laughed out loud and said indifferently,

"General Degui is too worried. In fact, Gu really didn't pay attention to your fleet."

Cai Mao was stunned for a moment.

Without his own fleet, how could Cao Mao compete with Sun Quan, Huang Zu, and Liu Bei for the Yangtze River?
"I'm planning to go back to Xudu in the past few days, and you go back with Gu, and Gu will have other arrangements for you at that time."

Cao Mao ordered casually.

Although Cai Hao had doubts, he didn't dare to disobey Cao Mao's intention, so he nodded and accepted the order.

"Send the order of the lonely army, and immediately send the remaining warships to chase the remaining enemy ships."

"In addition, Meng Qi, Bo Yue, and Shi Zai, the three of you pursue the enemy from land."

"After occupying Xiakou, build a defense line with artillery, block the river, and prevent Jiangdong and Jiangxia ships from passing at will."

"After Gu leaves, Zilong will be responsible for supervising the entire army."

If you want to attack Xiangyang by water, there are only two feasible ways.

Either enter Hanshui from Xiakou and attack Xiangyang all the way.

Either land from Jiangling and go northward along the land route to Xiangyang.

Therefore, as long as Xiakou is firmly occupied, the fleet of Liu Bei and Sun Quan's coalition forces will not be able to attack Xiangyang.

Everyone suddenly took orders.

Zhao Yun looked a little puzzled,

"My lord, is this going to stop the war?"

"armistice?"

Cao Mao shook his head and laughed loudly,
"It's just to let Liu Bei and the others dance around for a while!"
