Han counter current

Without the obstruction of a powerful general like Zhou Tai, Ji Kang can be said to be a rare opponent now. The Jiangdong Army on the deck was quickly eliminated by him. A signal for their retreat.

"Killing decisively, Zhou Yu is really hard to deal with."

Seeing his subordinates snatch back a building boat, Chen Feng should have been happy.But from the battle to the present, the losses on his side are far greater than those of the Jiangdong Army.

Moreover, Zhou Tai used the stolen boat and some small boats to rampage, causing huge chaos to his forward formation. If Ji Kang hadn't taken back one of the boats, the battle situation would have been even worse.

"My lord, do you want to order General Cai to increase troops? If so, there is a chance to suppress the enemy."

Mu Fu, who had just made a recommendation, asked quickly.Indeed, if there is an increase in troops at this moment, it will indeed interfere with the Jiangdong Army's plan, and maybe it can restore the situation.

But Chen Feng shook his head resolutely. He is indeed the coach, the overlord of the north, but he is not the commander of this battle. The more this is the case, the less he can add to the chaos as the coach.

"General Cai Mao is in command of the battle today. No one is allowed to interfere with his command and judgment. Let me watch carefully. Cheng'er, when it comes to inland water warfare, General Cai Mao can definitely be your master. You all should study hard."

"promise,,,,,,"

After rejecting Mufou's suggestion, Chen Feng told Yan Cheng and others next to him that today's battle, regardless of victory or defeat, is irrelevant to the overall situation, so there is no need for Chen Feng to give orders.

Besides, even if the situation is not good for him, Chen Feng can see that there is not much problem with Cai Mao's command.Although Cai Mao is inferior to Zhou Yu in terms of grasping opportunities and tactics, he can at least make up for it with the advantage of having a large number of ships on his side.

In other words, Cai Mao lived up to his reputation as the commander of the Jingzhou Navy. Zhou Yu is indeed powerful, but he is not bad.Therefore, Chen Feng did not want to give orders to Cai Mao at this juncture, as that would only increase Cai Mao's pressure.

"You can't do anything, set fire to the boat, hurry up,,,,,,"

As the battle progressed, the forward troops of the Jingzhou Army gradually suppressed their position. In addition, Ji Kang was driving the warship to bite Zhou Tai and his party tightly, making it impossible for them to expand the results of the battle.

In desperation, Zhou Tai had no choice but to use the last resort, setting fire to the ship to intimidate the Jingzhou army. If he was lucky, he might be able to ignite other Jingzhou warships.

"Strut, strut, hurry up, set aside those burning boats, twenty men, and follow me on board the tall boats to put out the fire."

At the critical moment, Ji Kang ordered one after another that if the burning boat was close to other warships, it might ignite the unfired warships, so they had to be pushed away with a pole.

As for the building boat, although it also emitted black smoke, it was too huge to be propped open with a pole. What Ji Kang had to do was to board the building boat to fight the fire in the shortest possible time.

In the end, Zhou Tai's plan to set fire to the ship failed, and Ji Kang also successfully led his people to snatch back the last building ship. Although it was severely damaged, at least no building ship was lost on his side, which is considered good up.

After Zhou Tai withdrew, the Jiangdong Army's second wave of attack began. Although the Jingzhou Army's forward formation was not chaotic, it was severely damaged after all. There were a total of five building ships, and now two and a half of them have lost their combat effectiveness.

Cai Mao was also directing under tremendous pressure. Every time Zhou Yu made a move, he took it with all his strength, and then tried to defuse it. However, if you defend for a long time, you will lose. Cai Mao always defending like this is not a solution.

By noon, the forward formation of the Jingzhou Army was even more dilapidated. However, the Jiangdong Army was not feeling well either.

"Cai Mao is a talent for water warfare, but it is a pity that he is not Zhou Yu's opponent after all. If every battle is carried out like this, Cai Hao will be invincible at most.

Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, the reputation of a military strategist in the world is indeed true, I have seen it today, but if you are only this capable, I am afraid it will not be enough to stop me from going down the Yangtze River. "

With the passage of time, the Jiangdong Army's offensive gradually weakened. After all, it was a fierce battle for a long time. Even the soldiers who stood there watching the battle consumed a lot of physical strength.

Besides, in today's battle, both sides are just here to find out the details of each other, and there is no need to fight to the end.The Jiangdong army has tasted the sweetness and has the upper hand. It is in their best interest to accept it now.

"Phew, I finally retreated,,,,,,"

Looking at the Jiangdong Army that was gradually going away, Cai Mao wiped the sweat from his forehead, and after a sigh of relief, this guy suddenly felt a cold back, it turned out that the sweat had already soaked his clothes.

"The subordinates successfully repelled the invading enemy, but failed to completely wipe out the enemy army. Please punish me, my lord."

After explaining the matter at hand, Cai Hao, Zhang Yun and his group came to Chen Feng to plead guilty. After all, they had boasted about Haikou at the beginning, saying that they were prodigy in water warfare and the commander of Jingzhou Navy.

Today's battle was a good one. A vanguard team of the Jiangdong Army almost snatched all the buildings and ships of the forwards on our side. If it weren't for Ji Kang leading his men to go up at the critical moment, it is hard to say how this battle will end today. .

"Get up, today's battle, I have seen your ability, but it is remarkable."

After a long time, when Cai Mao and the two were anxious, Chen Feng finally spoke.The four words "remarkable" can be regarded as a recognition of Cai Mao's dedication, but at the same time, it also expresses Chen Feng's dissatisfaction with this war.

After all, the two governors of the Jingzhou navy are no match for the governor of Jiangdong who was just retrieved by Sun Quan. How to proceed in the next battle is really a headache.

Looking at the river from a distance, Chen Feng's eyes flashed a trace of worry. In the past, he won all the victories in and out of the Great Wall, galloping horses and grasslands, but this time, what he has to face is the natural danger of the Yangtze River. Come in handy.

Chapter 768 Discuss Countermeasures 1

The soldiers and horses of both sides retreated to their respective camps. In today's battle, it is impossible to talk about who will win or who will lose, but in order to boost morale, both sides say that they have won.

Especially the Jiangdong army was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, with few soldiers and few ships, but even so, the Jiangdong army still took the initiative to attack, and even beat the enemy all over the place.

As a result, the morale of the Jiangdong Army rose sharply, and many sergeants even said bluntly: As long as the general governor is in the army, the enemy army will not be able to swim the Yangtze River.This meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Even though Sun Quan was unhappy when he heard these rumors, after all, he was currently resisting the millions of lions in Jiangbei. As the Lord of Jiangdong, he should reward what should be rewarded, and what should be appeased should be appeased.

Compared to the cheers in the Jiangdong military camp, the Jingzhou military camp seemed much quieter.Especially the top generals, they dare not even speak loudly at this moment.

Hussar General Chen Feng's complexion has been very dark since he returned to the camp, so dark that he could squeeze out water.Perhaps it was because the result of today's battle was not good, or maybe it was because Jiangdong Army's arrogance angered him, in short, Chen Feng was very unhappy.

"My lord, you are tired from watching the battle today, so let's have some ginseng soup first."

Since returning to Chen Feng, Guo Tu has been calling himself Chen Feng's close minister, just like serving Yuan Shao back then, Guo Tu has been trying to win Chen Feng's favor.

No, as soon as Chen Feng returned to the camp, he was busy, and he hurriedly delivered the ginseng soup brought in by the personal guard.Chen Feng let Guo Tu serve by his side, naturally he also took a fancy to some of Guo Tu's characteristics. Generally speaking, Guo Tu is doing well now.

"Let's put it down, go and call all the generals, I have something to discuss with them."

Thinking of today's battle, Chen Feng became very angry. It wasn't that he was disappointed with Cai Mao and the others, but that Zhou Yu had let Zhou Yu ruin the situation when his side had an absolute advantage.

"Disrupting and reorganizing the Jingzhou Army has indeed reduced the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou Army to a certain extent, but I don't think that the Jiangdong Navy is so fierce. No wonder Huang Zu has guarded Jiangxia for many years and has never crossed the Yangtze River. It is probably because he has no such ability.

Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, I never thought that I would be stopped by you on the Yangtze River, the current military strategist, Mei Zhou Lang, hum, very good, very good..."

When Gongsun Xu, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and Huang Zu received the order, they all knew that their lord was very unhappy with today's battle situation, especially Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, who were under a lot of pressure now.

"Sit down, today's battle is not a bad thing for our army. Now you all have a clear understanding of the arrogance of the enemy army and the capabilities of our army. I think you all know what to do next.

I am calling you here now, not to get angry. The strength of both sides is like this now. I only have one request. In the next month, after you go back, you should train your troops well. If our army is still as strong as it is in a month, Hmph, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless when the time comes. "

The three of Cai Mao received the order and went down to work. After only Chen Feng and Gongsun Xu were left in the big tent, Chen Feng's expression tended to ease.

"But what do you want to say?"

Looking at his uncle, Chen Feng could feel that the other party was hesitant to speak.

"I do have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Is there such a gap between you and me? Just talk if you have something to say."

"This battle may be postponed for three to five years. It is not a good thing for our army to rush south now."

Finally, Gongsun Xu plucked up the courage to speak out his inner thoughts.It's not that he is timid, it's just that any superior can hardly tolerate his subordinates questioning his IQ and decision.
