Chapter 755

The horse's mouth reached into the river for a while to lick, then suddenly raised its head, and a strange color flashed in a pair of eyes.

How come the water here tastes different, so fishy?

How can the river water soaked with human blood not smell fishy?

Cao Ren took the reins and frowned: "come here, don't drink the water inside."

More than a thousand iron cavalry stopped at the Bank of the river, looking at the huge warships in the river from afar, holding their swords one by one. Unfortunately, the cavalry could not get into the water. Otherwise, they would have killed Zhou Yu and captured Zhou Yu directly.

"Huang Zu is really incompetent

Cao Xiu said coldly, "the prime minister told him to stop the Jiangdong Navy without fighting with him. As a result, he was defeated and returned. If our army hadn't come fast enough, Zhou Yu would have fled."

Cao Zhen nodded and sighed: "it's better to ask for others than yourself. Huang Zu is just a mediocre. Sooner or later, our army will set up its own navy to fight against Jiangdong Navy."

Cao Ren nodded slightly: "Zidan is right. If there is no navy, you must be controlled by others. Sooner or later, our army will have to set up its own navy."

"Fortunately, the waste of huangzu finally delayed the water master of Jiangdong, and the prime minister didn't come late."

In the smoke and dust, more than 30000 Cao's soldiers came slowly.

"Archer!"

Thousands of Cao's archers stepped forward and aimed their bows and arrows at the Jiangdong army's warships on the Yangtze River. It is no longer useful to use infantry against mariners, spearmen and shields. The only one who can cause damage to the enemy is the archer.

When Zhuge Liang borrowed an arrow, he was shot back by Cao's archers?

"Ready!"

Creak... The obscure sound of twisting strings rings out, and Cao's archers exert their arms to pull apart the bowstring and aim at the Jiangdong army's warships on the surface of the river.

"Be careful! Raise your shield and hide in the cabin

"Drive the warship into the middle of the river as soon as possible to avoid the enemy's arrows."

Jiangdong Navy saw Cao Jun's ten thousand arrows at once, and quickly grabbed the shield around him. Those without shield ran towards the cabin. The sailor was in a hurry to set sail for the middle of the river.

"Let go

Whoosh! Whoosh! Cao's archers were ready to go. After hearing the order, Qi Qi released the bowstring, and thousands of arrows were ejected, making an arc in the air and falling towards the Jiangdong Army Navy.

"Ah

The shields in the hands of the Jiangdong army were mostly knife shields. The round shields were small in diameter and could not be covered by the upper body. Naturally, they were hard to resist Cao Jun's arrows. The sharp arrows pierced into the flesh and made a scream.

The warship was not too big for the river, so many arrows did not shoot on the warship, but swished into the water. On the surface of the river, there are still many bodies of Jiangdong soldiers and Jiangxia soldiers floating on the surface of the river. They are also unlucky. They are inexplicably hit by many arrows, but they can't feel it.

On the top of the river, there is the dongjiandun shooting! For a while, many Jiangdong army warships were filled with Cao's arrows, and some Jiangdong soldiers lost their foothold.

"Archer, return!"

Chen Wu was so angry that he immediately ordered the archers of Jiangdong army to fight back. Jiangdong soldiers and soldiers also held their own anger. They were not willing to be beaten and not fight back, so they held bows and arrows to shoot at the enemy.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Thousands of arrows crossed the sky. For a moment, it seemed that countless meteors appeared in the sky. Cao army and Jiangdong army poured their arrows into each other. Countless arrows fell on the water and on the land. Of course, Jiang Dongbing and Cao Bing screamed and fell to the ground.

However, as the warships of Jiangdong army were getting farther and farther away from the river bank, most of the arrows of the two armies were poured into the river. After all, the distance of the step bow is limited, and the best range is between 50 steps and 100 steps. Even the marksman can shoot 150 steps.

"It's a pity that Huang Zu was defeated too early."

Cao Cao, riding on his horse, sighed as he looked at the warships of Jiangdong army driving into the middle of the river.

"Yes, if Huang Zu insists on half a quarter of an hour, the Jiangdong Navy will be destroyed and the whole Jiangdong will be easily available." Cheng Yu sighed.

On the battleship of Jiangdong army, Zhou Yu looked at Cao Jun on the Bank of the river from a distance, with the same frown.

"General Cheng."

"What do you want from governor Du Du?"

"The number of casualties of our army, quickly count."

Zhou Yu ordered him to go down, and the Jiangdong army immediately counted them. On the one hand, they collected the warships captured from Jiangxia Navy, and on the other hand, they kept a safe distance from Cao's army and salvaged the bodies of comrades in arms in the water.

After a while, Cheng Pu went to Zhou Yu and said in a low voice, "Dudu, during the first battle between our army and Jiangxia Navy, about 1000 soldiers were damaged. Just now, they shot at Cao's army, which also damaged more than 1000 people."

"So we have lost nearly 3000 soldiers in one day?" Zhou Yu frowned.Cheng Pu nodded heavily.

"Alas..."

Zhou Yu sighed with a long sigh that there were fewer and fewer soldiers on hand. Fortunately, he could return to Wujun immediately. After defeating Xia Houyuan, he would have a rest for a while, and then he would fight with Cao Cao to take back Lujiang County.

He finally looked at the land of Lujiang County, and ordered: "order, retreat."

"Here it is

"When the governor of Dadu orders, the whole army will retreat!"

At Zhou Yu's command, Jiangdong Navy always kept a safe distance from Cao Jun on the other side of the river, and began to retreat slowly to the East. All Cao's troops were on foot, and they did not carry any warships. Naturally, they could not stop the Jiangdong army from retreating.

What's more, even if there were warships, Cao Jun could not stop Jiang Dongjun from going south.

Cao Cao watched Jiangdong Navy go far away. He could not help feeling: "he gave up Lujiang County without saying a word. Zhou Yu is really a national scholar. Jiangdong has him. It's hard to calm down for a while."

Cao Ren frowned and said, "prime minister, since Jiangdong soldiers have retreated, miaocai must be surrounded by Jiangdong army. What should our army do?"

"Is it necessary to ask?"

Cao Cao said with a smile: "naturally, our army should also take the opportunity to cross the river, and help should be wonderful."

As Xia Houyuan led his troops to cross the sea to attack Wujun, Zhou Yu, who got the news, resolutely gave up Lujiang County and led his army to the south to rescue Wujun. Zhou Yu successfully escaped under the leadership of Jiang Qin and the main force of the Navy. However, Cao's pursuit failed. The battle of Cao sun Lujiang, which evolved from Zhou Yu's rebellion, ended temporarily.

But naturally, Cao Cao could not give up plotting Jiangdong. If he really annexed Jiangdong, the situation in the world would undoubtedly become a contest between the two powers, and the situation in the world would become more direct and clear.
