Chapter 355 Defeated in the first battle
Chapter 355 Defeated in the first battle
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun worked very hard. When they found that there were not many Jiangdong Navy ships, they rushed forward without saying a word.

However, their actions coincided with Zhou Yu's thoughts.

In this battle, Zhou Yu only led [-] sailors, while Meng Chen ordered [-] Jingzhou sailors to attack across the board. Therefore, in terms of numbers, Zhou Yu was completely at a disadvantage.

And Zhou Yu also judged the situation, since the number is at a disadvantage, then simply show weakness to the enemy!
Coupled with Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's eagerness to win, this is the scene in front of them.

The sound of war drums on the river today is loud, although the cold wind is like cutting the face of the Buddha, the soldiers of the navy in Jingzhou are full of fighting spirit!

"Brother Degui, Zhou Yu underestimates people too much, what's the use of sending some small boats? Go up and kill them all at once!" Zhang Yun laughed loudly and said to Cai Mao.

In fact, Cai Mao had doubts in his heart, but when he looked back at the huge fleet behind him, the tumultuous desire in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

"Your brother is right, today is just the time for the lord to see how the navy fights!"

Cai Mao also laughed, and then waved his hand, signaling that his ship started to speed up.

Compared with the huge fleet of the Jingzhou Army, Zhou Yu's vanguard, Huang Gai, led all small boats, whose flexibility and maneuverability were not comparable to those of big ships.

Therefore, seeing Cai Mao and others start to speed up, Huang Gai naturally smiled knowingly and also started to speed up.

The lure of the enemy in this battle should not be too simple!
"Rush up, shoot the arrow!" Huang Gai waved his big hand, and more than a dozen clippers led by him rushed up.

Ever since, the most common form of water warfare in this era appeared!

For a while, the arrows from both sides rained like pillars, but almost all the arrows shot by the Jingzhou navy landed behind the Jiangdong navy.

The arrows of the Jiangdong navy caused certain casualties to the Jingzhou navy.

"Damn Huang Gai!" Cai Mao couldn't help cursing seeing his own casualties while the opponent turned around and fled.

"Brother Degui, the opponent's boat is small and fast, so it's better to send a fast boat to pursue it."

Zhang Yun was a little anxious, originally they planned to use the advantage of the big ship to crush them, but who would have thought that Huang Gai would hit and run away.

Cai Mao was silent again, and after a while he said: "My lord is right behind me, this battle must not be lost. My virtuous brother leads the fast boat and catches up!"

"Here!" Zhang Yun took the order and left, the two of them had no idea that they had gradually fallen into Zhou Yu's trap.

Looking at the vanguard army that was gradually going away, the smile on Meng Chen's face gradually disappeared. Although there was a conclusion before the battle that only defeat could not be won, the loss of tens of thousands of people was something Meng Chen didn't want to see.

"Regularly, go to the reinforcements quickly and repel the Jiangdong water army." Meng Chen hurriedly ordered.

"Here."

Liu Rengui led away, but he had already scolded Cai Mao and Zhang Yun over and over again in his heart, so he didn't notice such an obvious lure to the enemy.

On the surface of the river, Zhang Yun chased Huang Gai all the way, while Cai Mao hung behind and kept urging him to speed up.

It's a pity that the distance between the three chased further and further until Zhou Yu's warship appeared on the river.

"No, I've been fooled!" Cai Mao shouted anxiously when he saw Zhou Yu's formation clearly.

"Quick, speed up to meet General Zhang!" Cai Mao immediately ordered.

At this moment, Zhang Yun's liver and gallbladder were already torn apart. Just now he was chasing Huang Gai wholeheartedly, but he almost rushed into the enemy group unexpectedly.

"Turn the bow of the boat and withdraw! Quickly withdraw!" Zhang Yun yelled in panic.

At this time, the dozens of fast boats led by Zhang Yun were already very close to the battle formation set up by Zhou Yu. If they could not escape in time, they would surely die in the belly of the fish today.

However, the most sad thing happened to Zhang Yun. It was a favorable wind for them to chase all the way just now, but it was a headwind for them to return now.

If there was no interference, Zhang Yun would not be like this.

But Huang Gai had already turned the bow of the boat and turned around to kill him back.

The morale of one side is low, and the other side is bound to rise sharply. For a while, the Jingzhou navy led by Zhang Yun fell into a disadvantage.

A burst of arrow rain hit, and the soldiers around Zhang Yun were shot into the water one by one, and the situation was already extremely critical.

"Hahaha, Zhang Yun is here to take his life!" Huang Gai stood on the bow of the boat with a knife in his hand, excitedly looking at Zhang Yun who was getting closer.

If it wasn't for luring the enemy just now, Huang Gai wouldn't be in such a mess.

But right now, Huang Gai can finally find his place again!

What Huang Gai was on was Jiangdong's new fast boat, which was different from Zhang Yun's boat.

Even with the current headwind, Huang Gai's ships were not affected much.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer, Huang Gai jumped up to Zhang Yun, raised the big knife in his hand and slashed down.

"what!"

Zhang Yun was stunned by Huang Gai's jump, he saw the big knife in Huang Gai's hand coming towards him, and let out a scream.

After the sound of "噗嗤", Zhang Yun's head fell in response, and a headless corpse, spraying blood, trembled and fell into the river.

The main general was killed, and the rest of the Jingzhou navy still dared to fight, and they all turned around and fled, hoping to escape the battlefield immediately.

However, they had nowhere to escape on the river other than running from the stern to the bow.

Those with good water quality jumped into the river without hesitation, while those with bad water quality could only hide in the bow and shiver.

As for escaping by boat, it is simply impossible in a headwind situation!
Huang Gai's beheading of Zhang Yun shocked the morale of the Jiangdong navy, and Zhou Yu, who was standing on the bow of the ship, witnessed everything with his own eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Congratulations to the governor's flag!" The generals around Zhou Yu echoed loudly, while Zhou Yu burst out laughing.

"Order the whole army to attack!" Zhou Yu waved the command flag in his right hand forward, and the entire Jiangdong water army was beating drums and drums.

Not far away, Cai Maoyan watched Zhang Yun being beheaded by Huang Gai, and a feeling of retreat gradually rose in his heart.

But when he thought of the army led by Meng Chen not far behind him, Cai Mao had a choice in his mind.

If he retreats at this point, it's fine if Meng Chen doesn't pursue it. If he pursues it and enforces the military law, he will definitely lose his life.

However, if he fights hard for power for a while, and then retreats...

Thinking of this, Cai Mao's eyes became resolute. At any rate, he has an army of [-], which is still superior to the Jiangdong navy in terms of numbers.

"Soldiers, avenge General Zhang!" Cai Mao pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed at the sky and roared.

"Revenge! Revenge!" The soldiers around shouted loudly.

As the saying goes, a general is the courage of a soldier, and a soldier is the soul of a general. Although they were defeated in the first battle, the Jingzhou navy did not back down. Perhaps they themselves did not notice this change.

In the past, the Jingzhou navy would have turned around and fled, but now after less than three months of training, they have more or less the shadow of the Xiliang army.

Such a change made Zhou Yu's complexion instantly darken. It was the first time he had encountered the scene in front of him after fighting the Jingzhou Army for many years.
