C258

Everyone was preparing for their battle with Liu Biao, but Liu Biao didn't seem to want to give me too much time, his water army kept on appearing and provoking us on the shore. On the other hand, Liu Biao had tightened his seal on Liu Shui, they wanted to cut off our retreat, and the attacks became more and more intense.

I sent people to send Liu Biao his challenge, and Liu Biao immediately accepted it. When Liu Biao and I met in the vicinity of the Dong Ting Lake, I led my troops to a place very close to the land, because I had already sent someone to spread the news secretly that Liu Biao was going to be defeated. I sent people to Liu Biao to write my challenge, and that Liu Biao wanted to find some time to escape, so I intentionally brought my troops closer to the shore, and I was afraid that there would be a big problem if our soldiers, who were not good at piloting, were to stay far away from the center of the river. More importantly, as long as we can control the other side's ships, I think we can rely on the limited number of ships to return to the shore and transport the soldiers aboard.

"My lord!" My lord! Look! How grand our navy is! How mighty! Such a huge navy was something he had never seen before! Haha! Killing Fan Li was as good as crushing an ant! "Haha!" Cai Mao's hand swept across the dense number of warships lined up across the great river, as he cried out in joy.

"Ha ha!" Liu Biao laughed out loud, proudly looking at the opponent's boat in the distance. That set up battleship was like a small ant in comparison to Liu Biao's huge battleship formation, and was also like an elephant compared to Fan Li's army. Fan Li's army's battleship was pitifully small, and it wouldn't take long for Liu Biao's army's battleship to swallow them all! Liu Biao also understood that his soldiers were many times stronger than Fan Li in terms of water battles! He believed even more that the other side wouldn't actually start a war, and that they were only trying to stall for time.

Kuai Liang pondered deeply, "My lord, there's still no movement from Fan Li's army. I wonder what Fan Li is thinking." Liu Biao asked: "Do you think Fan Li is stalling for time?" Kuai Yue replied: "It's extremely possible! Humph! When Fan Li's army retreat, it would be time for us to attack the enemy! "Our ships are fast, the soldiers are much better at piloting. They will be chased and surrounded and annihilated!" Liu Biao laughed, "Good! Good! I think so too! "Haha!"

Kuai Liang was a little worried, and said: "My lord, I'm afraid that the Fan Li Army might have a conspiracy!" Liu Biao disagreed, and said: "A conspiracy? Humph! What kind of conspiracy could there be? Even if they have a conspiracy, I don't need to be afraid of them! With how weak they were, any plots would just be for naught! Now, we can only move forward and completely eliminate Fan Li! " Kuai Liang thought about it carefully. Fan Li was at the end of his road, he would not have the guts to challenge his side's powerful water army, maybe he really just wanted to escape!

I looked at the dense cloud of Liu Biao Army warships. My eyebrows had never tightened and my heart was unable to calm down. Beside me, Zhong Zheng reported, "Our troop has a total of 145 boats, many of which are small fishing boats. Our ships can only carry a total of more than a thousand people! These thousand plus people are the best in the water! "The army on the shore has succeeded. As long as there is a boat on the shore, they can join the battle at any time!"

I waved my hand and said, "I understand! Zi Hong, the difference in strength between friend and foe is too great! Can we really win? " Cheng Zheng: "…" I stared at him, knowing that he had said it was a gamble!

"Ai!" I could not help but sigh, pointing to the ship that had been separated from our army and said, "My lord! "General Li Xiong and the rest have already left!" "Ahhh!" My eyes widened. I wanted to stop them, but their ship was as fast as lightning and couldn't be stopped.

In front of my eyes, Li Xiong smiled and said to me: "Fourth brother, don't worry! I'll be fine! " Li Xiong left with a light smile … I wanted to stop him, but I couldn't. I don't want to risk my brother's life in a hopeless battle, but.

On the other side of the lake, "Lord! Look! The ships of the Fan Li Army are moving fast, don't tell me they want to attack us? But why were there so many ships left behind? What are they thinking about? " Kuai Yue pointed to the distance. Liu Biao looked into the distance and scoffed, "You overestimate yourself!" After a while, Kuai Yue pointed to the distance and said: "My lord, quickly look! Why would the enemy's ships face us sideways? And why did they stop and not advance? Is he trying to lure the enemy? "

Kuai Liang shook his head and said, "Decoy? It is not like we are trying to lure the enemy in. Such a wide lake surface, it is impossible to see through any ambushes with a single glance. It is not like when there is a big cloud of fog, it is impossible for the Fan Li Army to set up ambushes, unless they lure us ashore and there are ambushing soldiers on the shore! " Liu Biao gave the order: First, stay still and observe what the enemy is doing!

On the other hand, he was crying out nervously, "My lord! Look! General Li Xiong started to move! I leaned forward with my hands on the railing and shouted nervously, "Big brother! No matter what, you must not get into trouble! " "Master, our ship will now turn around and move to the upper reaches to attract their attention, so that they won't know what the ship we sent out earlier intends. It would be best if we can let Liu Biao split up his forces!" I nodded. "Alright! Immediately! "

Liu Biao's boat. Kuai Liang frowned, and said: "Why is Fan Li moving upwards? If they move upward, then they will be far away from the shore. If we go down the river, although their ships will be very fast and we can go up to attack them because they are slow, with our fleet being so huge, they won't be able to defeat us no matter how strong they are. Could it be that Fan Li doesn't want to escape, and wants to fight with us? Why did he send out his ship to face our ship from the side? "What's the use of these ships?"

Kuai Yue said from the side: "Big brother, would Fan Li be scheming something? When we wonder if he's going in or out, he's ready to retreat! Would it be like this? " Kuai Liang nodded his head: "That is also possible!" Liu Biao waved his hand, and said: "Don't care so much! With our army so large, why should we be afraid of Fan Li! Once my big boat arrives, Fan Li's small boats will definitely be knocked over! "Don't worry!"

Liu Biao turned to the messenger and said, "Inform Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, let each of you lead a fleet of two men to act as my left and right flanks to encircle and annihilate Fan Li in the upper reaches of the water. You must not let him return back to the shore!"

Liu Biao's water army was split into three parts. Just as Liu Biao was about to give the order to attack, Kuai Liang stopped him and said: "Master, let's go slowly, just in case there is a conspiracy! The shilling vanguard ship attacks the Fan Li Army's ships that are facing our side to test their hostility! " Liu Biao urgently wanted to attack, but because Kuai Liang was his own advisor, he had no choice but to give him face and agree.

Liu Biao's navy warships sped towards the ships in front of Fan Li. When those ships saw that they were coming towards them, they immediately set sail and fled. Kuai Liang was still a little afraid, he shouted to the soldier: "Order the boat to stop chasing for now! To see the enemy's feelings! "

"Lord," he was saying to me, "call those ships to the shore and let the soldiers on board!" I nodded. "All right! Sigh! Elder Brother, if they are too weak and have no one to support them, what should we do? " Cheng Zheng appeared to be full of confidence, and said: "My lord, please do not worry! We will attack later! Go and receive General Li and the others! " I nodded.

Kuai Liang saw that the escaping boats had reached the shore, and the soldiers that were waiting on the shore also boarded the boats. Kuai Liang was confused and asked: "Why did Fan Li's boats come to us and go back? And there were no soldiers on the boats? What are they doing? "

Kuai Yue pondered for a while, then said: "Master, Fan Li is not on their only boat, and is only on these small boats. Or maybe, he isn't on the boat at all, so they might have already retreated! This is the Golden Cicada's plan to get out of its shell! " But Kuai Liang disagreed, and said: "If Fan Li wants to escape, then he shouldn't fight with us! After all, if they still had to cross the River Miluo and Liu Shui, they would need a boat! But why had they gathered all the ships here? I can't figure it out! "
