Chapter 1034: Both Losers

"Give it to me!"

Fu Bo copied Chen Lin, the general of the navy, and personally captured a Wu Jun's building ship!

The two navy soldiers were fighting in the corridor of the building ship, and the dead navy soldiers were everywhere.

Chen Lin hacked and killed all the way to the third deck of the building, and captured the entire building!

"Put on our battle flag!"

Chen Lin ordered Xia Jun's flag to replace the flag of the Jiangdong Navy.

Chen Lin looked around from the tall building boats, thousands of warships were burned or destroyed by ballistas and bowl guns, and the smoke was billowing.

It was difficult to tell the time because of the cloudy sky.

However, the sky was getting darker and darker, and finally it began to rain lightly on the Chenjiadao battlefield. Chen Lin estimated that the two sides fought from early morning to night.

The Jiangdong navy blocked the outlet near Chenjiadao, while the Fubo army bypassed the fire boat and attacked the Jiangdong navy from both sides, firing all arrows.

The Jiangdong navy used gunpowder arrows, a special type of arrow in the Northern Song Dynasty, consisting of an arrow and a gunpowder cartridge, which has an igniting effect. Coupled with Zhou Yu's fire attack damage, the damage is extremely terrible.

The large warships of the Fubo Army are equipped with bowl-mouth guns, which are also a primitive firearm, which can fire stone bullets and destroy the warships of the Soochow Navy.

Both navies used special attack methods to constantly destroy the opponent's ships, and at the same time launched hand-to-hand combat, and even directly took advantage of the advantages of the big ships to destroy the opponent's small boats such as 艨艟 and walking boats.

In front of the large warships, the warships and fighting ships were torn apart by the ramming angle, and the boards were broken.

Nearly a million sailors fought fiercely, and both sides were red-eyed.

"I didn't expect to fall into a stalemate, it's already a lose-lose..."

Tongque's eyes were bloodshot, and the battle at Chenjiadao was far more brutal than he had imagined.

In Tongque's plan, Zhou Yu used fire to attack the ship, severely injuring the Fubo army, and then the Jiangdong navy went all out to destroy the Fubo army.

However, Zheng He, the master navigator, avoided Zhou Yu's fireboat attack at a relatively small cost, causing the Jiangdong Navy's fireboats to be exhausted, and the two sides fell into a tragic boarding battle.

This is the situation that Bronze Sparrow least wants to see.

Even if the Jiangdong Navy wins in the end, the boarding battle will cause heavy losses to the Jiangdong Navy.

The Fubo army was even equipped with weapons such as bowl-mouth guns and crossbows, which caused many Jiangdong warships to be destroyed.

"It's getting late? A storm is approaching? Take a break from the battle."

Tongque saw that the sky was getting dark, and one-third of the warships of the Jiangdong Navy were lost in the naval battle at Chenjiadao, so they withdrew temporarily.

"The winner hasn't been decided yet? How can we retreat?!"

Gan Ning took only dozens of Jinfan thieves, captured a Fubo army's big blessing ship, and killed 300 sailors.

When Gan Ning saw that the flagship of the Jiangdong Navy issued an order to raise the flag symbolizing retreat, he had no choice but to order the big blessing ship to leave the battlefield.

"retreat."

Zheng He saw that the sky was dark, the wind was blowing, and the heavy rain was coming again, so he retreated to Chenjiadao.

At this time, the hurricane at sea broke out again. At this time, he rashly entered the Yellow Sea and was followed by the Jiangdong navy? The consequences may be more serious than hiding in Chenjiadao.

The Jiangdong navy has been fighting for a long time? It was also threatened by a hurricane at sea and had to find a shelter from the wind.

The waters near Chenjiadao,

There is also a half-burned building ship emitting thick smoke, and there are broken flames undulating on the sea.

The two navies seemed to have reached a tacit agreement, leaving a small group of ships to rescue the soldiers and sailors of their own navy who fell into the water, and each retreated to avoid the storm.

Zhou Yu was leaning against the parapet of the building, the rain was beating on the deck? This time the naval battle rarely suffered.

"The main general of the Fubo Army is Zheng He. The speed of his fleet suddenly increased? It is dangerous to avoid the fire ship? Could it be that Zheng He has the characteristic of speeding up the fleet?"

Bronze Sparrow as a player? Know that different water fighting personalities have different abilities.

Zhou Yu is good at attacking with fire, and Zheng He...

According to the judgment of the Chenjiadao naval battle, Tongque has already noticed that Zheng He's characteristics are related to navigation.

In terms of navigation, Zheng He provided a higher bonus to the fleet than Zhou Yu.

Insufficient judgment of Zheng He's ability led to the fact that Jiangdong Navy, the number one in the Han Empire, was on par with the Fubo Army in Chenjiadao, and finally had to retreat because of the approaching hurricane.

In fact, even if the fight continues, it will probably be a lose-lose situation.

"Almost a thousand large and small warships, including fire attack ships, were lost in this battle..."

Lu Meng made a rough count of the ships lost in the Chenjiadao water battle, as many as 1,000 ships, and as many as 100,000 sailors were killed, injured, or missing.

"Warships can still be manufactured, but sailors and soldiers have not been trained for two or three years, so it is difficult to form combat power."

What Tongque felt distressed was not the thousand warships, but the loss of 100,000 sailors.

Bronze Sparrow estimated that the Fubo Army's losses were similar to this amount.

Lu Meng said to Tongque: "My lord, what should I do next?"

"Temporarily retreat to Langya Kingdom, join Xie Xuan and others, and transfer fireboats and crossbow arrows from Jiangdong."

Bronze Sparrow consumed a large number of fire boats and fire arrows, which was also an important reason for retreating.

The Jiangdong navy retreated, and the Fubo army spent a day fighting, and consumed a lot of crossbow arrows and stone bullets. Therefore, even if Zheng He could catch up with the Jiangdong navy, he still lacked weapons.

The physical strength of each general was also exhausted.

"About 100,000 soldiers were lost, 1,000 ships, large and small, and two generals, Zheng Zhilong and Yi Sunshin, were injured."

"It's not bad to repel the Jiangdong Navy when the wind is headwind. After the hurricane passes, return to Buqi County in Dongnae County to replenish, and then go south again to threaten the Jiangdong Navy."

Zheng He considered that there is a high probability of avoiding the fire boats in the battle on the sea, which is actually more beneficial to the Fubo Army. In addition to the naval battle on Chenjiadao, the Jiangdong Navy, which has always been strong, did not gain an advantage. The Fubo Army has the confidence to fight again The Jiangdong navy is at war.

According to Chutian's plan, the Fubo Army does not necessarily need to defeat the Jiangdong Navy, as long as it achieves an even match, the mission has been completed.

The Jiangdong navy could not run unimpeded in the Yellow Sea, so the decisive battle between the two sides turned into a contest on land.

On the battlefield of Xiangfan, when Wu Qi besieged Fancheng and Wancheng for a long time, the Xia army upgraded Xinye City into a large city and used it as a transfer point to continuously transport supplies to the Central Plains army of Wu Qi, Wei Wuji, Pang Juan, and Cao Ren.

Guangling County turned into a swamp country, and the Xiangfan battlefield was also raining heavily for days, and the Han River surged.

In order to avoid the Seventh Army being flooded, Wu Qi seized the high ground in advance.

The defender of Fancheng is the defensive general Liu Renzhan of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He defends Fancheng to the death and has a high bonus to the defenders.

With the help of the soaring Han River, the Jingzhou navy transported grain, grass and weapons to Fancheng, making Fancheng unable to be captured for a long time.

The main generals of Fancheng and Wancheng are all defensive generals, like two nails, nailed to the north of Xiangyang.

Yang Shilang led a large army, relying on the Han River and the Jingzhou Navy, to confront Wu Qi, but he did not dare to attack Wu Qi and relieved the siege of Fancheng.

In Shangyong City, located in the upper reaches of the Han River, Zhang Dao, the former prefect of Hanzhong, assembled 100,000 soldiers and formed the Shangyong Navy, which went down the river.

Zhang Dao occupies three important counties in Hanzhong County, Shangyong, Fangling, and Xicheng.

Chu Tian ordered Zhang Daodong to attack Xiangyang, but Zhang Dao has not moved for a long time. The reason is also very simple-Zhang Dao, who does not pay attention to the navy, has just formed a navy after he fled to Shangyong City. Level, can be sent to the battlefield.

In addition, it will take time to build warships on the upper reaches of the Han River.

The Han River surged and the water surface widened, which just gave Zhang Dao the opportunity to attack from the relatively narrow upper reaches of the Han River.

One hundred thousand peasant troops, yellow turban chiefs holding long knives, yellow turban wrestlers holding iron hammers, Chuang Wang army, and late Qin uprising army boarded the ship one after another.

"Chu Zimou has repeatedly urged me to cooperate with Wu Qi in attacking Fancheng and Xiangyang, but I can only send 100,000 troops. With the population of only three counties, supporting 100,000 peasant troops is already the limit."

Zhang Dao was wearing a dark yellow cloak, standing on a large boat, and waved his hand: "Send troops to Fancheng!"

"Send troops!"

One hundred thousand peasant troops and eight hundred warships went down the river!

Although Zhang Dao's improvised Peasant Army Navy is far inferior to the Jiangdong Navy and Fubo Army that broke out in the Chenjiadao naval battle not long ago, it can pose a threat to the Jingzhou Navy and cooperate with Wu Qi to launch an attack.

Zhang Jiao's three brothers, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and King Chuang's Legion are still serving under Zhang Dao's command and all participated in this battle.
