Although my two large ships looked like two hills floating on the river, the densely packed ships on the other side were like waves, with the potential to move mountains and seas.

The most important thing is that there are almost no soldiers in these two large ships. Even the total number of sailors is not less than 1,000, and the opponent's formation is not less than 10,000 people. Even if the large ships are equipped with the latest type of repeating crossbows

, it can fire dozens of rounds with one crossbow. If it is surrounded, it will be difficult to take care of every direction, not to mention that it is not equipped.

Surrender is impossible, but you can choose to escape.

Zhang San looked at the majestic Sun Shangxiang and thought to himself: You stinky bitch, don't you have any idea? I thought you had lost your temper this time when you came back from Jiangdong, but I didn't expect you to be more reckless than before. Before.

He was just pretending to be an assassin, and now he's pretending to be the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy?

After Sun Shangxiang ordered the attack, he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that Zhang San was a little shorter. When he turned around, he saw that he was really timid and had his shoulders hunched over.

"Are you afraid?" Sun Shangxiang asked.

"I...I am not good at water fighting." Zhang Sanzhan said tremblingly.

"Heh, it sounds like you are good at land warfare." Sun Shangxiang said.

"Yes, I admit, I am just afraid. But I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that I will implicate my wife, and I will not have the face to see Li Yizhou even if I die." Zhang Santian said shamelessly.

"Then you should live well." Sun Shangxiang sighed: "You have been in Jiangling for a while. As a confidant around Li Yizhou, you usually don't care about military aircraft knowledge at all. I will teach you now, what is the situation for the person riding on the opposite side?

It is a walking boat. The walking boat is light, compact and flexible. If we turn around and run away, they will say that I am timid. If we chase after them, we will be overtaken by them in less than half an hour. I will not regret waiting for death by then.

, if he is captured alive and used as a bargaining chip by Cao Wei to blackmail Li Yizhou, the loss will be huge. So the only solution now is to take a gamble."

Zhang San looked at both sides of the bank, and there were cliffs facing each other. The apes on both sides of the bank couldn't stop crying.

Since there is no chance of winning by running away, and there is no hope of abandoning the ship at the shore, the only thing left is to take a gamble.

It is not a bet that a thousand sailors will destroy Cao Wei's 10,000-man navy, but a bet that Cao's army will hoist its head and run away when it sees the "Sun" flag.

But he said that Cao Wei's naval forces on the opposite side were not in a good mood after discovering the building ship.

After Jiang Ji heard the news, he climbed onto the deck and looked up, his brows furrowing more and more.

He had a lot of experience in stationing troops and had a certain understanding of the essentials of water warfare, but Le Jin was different. Le Jin was a pure land warfare general, and he would have fainted even in a boat.

The purpose of Jiang Ji and Le Jin's trip was to feign an attack on the lake, divert the tiger away from the mountain, and then use the remaining troops lurking in Ruxukou to seize Wuhu. They did not intend to fight fiercely on the water, so they chose to go on a boat with more mobile attributes.

Good, but a ship with poor combat qualities.

"Zitong (also known as Jiang Ji), why did Sun Quan send a navy to help Li Qi at this time? Shouldn't he be sitting on the mountain watching success or failure?" Le Jin asked.

"I don't know what Sun Quan is thinking, but now the ship with the banner of 'Sun' is approaching us. If we engage in close combat, we will suffer heavy losses."

Jiang Ji expressed half of his worries: walking on a boat against a building boat would be like a mayfly shaking a tree.

In fact, there is another concern: if Gan Ning rescues Yu Hu, he must take the waterway, and when the time comes to advance, and Gan Ning blocks the way, then they will not even have a chance to escape on this vast river.

"Let's see if they are advancing or retreating, and then let's make a calculation." Jiang Ji's only hope now is that Sun Quan's fleet does not dare or is unwilling to have a dispute with Cao Wei. If they can retreat on their own or have the intention to avoid it, then

It couldn't be better.

However, objective facts are not subject to someone's will. Le Jin pointed to the distance and said, "Zitong, look, they have started to raise the sail."

Jiang Jidao: "The east wind is blowing at this time, and the opponent must be raising their sails, so they must have the intention of attacking."

Le Jin said: "Then what should we do? Retreat?"

Jiang Jidao: "If we retreat to Wuhu, we will encounter the Gansu and Ning naval forces on the way. When the time comes, we will be attacked from two sides and we will be defeated. We just passed a ferry and we can return to that place and go ashore to take shelter temporarily."

"Hey!" Le Jin sighed.

People can hide on the shore for safety, but these ships may not be so lucky.

Jiang Ji consoled him: "As long as Gan Ning is attracted by us, Wenpin, and Mao Jie can take advantage of the situation and seize Wuhu. Our strategic purpose can still be achieved. The loss of some ships should be regarded as normal battle losses."

So the two ordered the boat to turn around and return to the ferry for temporary shelter.

From a distance, Zhang San, who was watching Cao Jun's U-turn, praised: "The walking boat is really nimble. It turns around when it says to turn around, and runs away when it says to run away."

Sun Shangxiang also breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed that he had won the bet.

Once there was Zhang Yide who used his longboard to drive away Cao Cao's millions of people, but now Sun Shangxiang sails on the river to scare away thousands of Chiang Kai-shek's boats.

The growth process of Cao Jun seems to be very scary.

The crux of the problem is that Cao's army is always true, but his opponents are unclear about the truth and truth, and they just like to gamble with their lives.

However, Gan Ning discovered that Jiang Ji was heading down the river towards Yuhu, so he sent scouts to and from Yuhu and Wuhu to pass on news at any time. Soon after, he received an order from Li Qi to pursue Jiang Ji's fleet.

, Gan Ning then prepared ships and troops to set off.

When setting off, Gan Ning sent Shen Mi to stay in Wuhu and warned Shen Mi: "Although you are familiar with the naval affairs, you must not go out without permission. If Cao's army takes advantage of the opportunity to attack, you can defend the shore while sending people to me."

Send the message and ask for help from General Huang Zhong in Chungu."

Shen Mi said disapprovingly: "Jiang Ji has emptied the Ruxukou, Wuhu is worry-free, I can set out with the general and accompany him at his command."

Gan Ning said: "No. Although Gan was ordered to pursue Jiang Ji, guarding Wuhu is his duty. On the battlefield, anything you think is impossible may happen. You have been with me for a long time and are as close as brothers. At this time

Don’t be careless when entrusting Wuhu with your trust.”

Shen Mi cupped his hands and said, "Brother Xingba, don't worry, Mi will protect Wuhu with his life."

In the past, Shen Mi and Lou Fa followed Gan Ning and worked as water thieves in Linjiang, Yizhou. Later, they rebelled against Liu Zhang. After the defeat, they took refuge with Liu Biao and lived together in Nanyang County. Because they could not be reused, they were recruited by Li Qi. They worked in the defense of the Public Security City. During the battle, Lou Fa died. Gan Ning and Shen Mi sighed every time they thought about this, and the relationship between them became even closer.

Therefore, Shen Mi said that he would live up to Gan Ning's trust.

The day Gan Ning left was uneventful. Shen Mi was entrusted with this important task. Although he believed that Cao Jun was unable to invade, he still strictly patrolled the river bank and ordered the archery tower to prepare his equipment, so as not to neglect his duties.

In the early morning of the second day after Gan Ning left, Cao's army invaded.
