Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 168
Chapter 167: The Beginning of the Water War
Chaisang Wu army camp, Zhou Kai summoned all the generals to discuss matters.

"Where is Deng Jun now?" Zhou Kai asked.

"Back to the Commander-in-Chief, according to the report from the scouts, the main force of the Deng Army has arrived in Xiazhi under the leadership of Yang Yanzhao, and Zhou Yu, the Commander of the Deng Jun Navy, has left Xiakou with [-] Deng Jun Navy, all the way down the river." Lu Lu, who is in charge of the Wu Jun scout work Meng replied.

After Zhou Kai listened, he smiled disdainfully, and said, "Hmph, it's really fantastic that a mere [-] sailors dare to fight against my invincible navy from Great Wu."

Originally, Zhou Kai was a little dignified when he heard the name Zhou Yu. After all, they came from the same school, and they knew each other well. Zhou Kai felt relieved, how could such a group of mobs be the opponents of the invincible navy of Wu State who has crossed the Yangtze River for 200 years.

"Hehehe!" Zhou Kai's words caused laughter in the hall. When it comes to water warfare, Wu Guo has never been afraid of anyone. Don't look at how Deng Jun has rubbed Han and Wei on the ground over the years, but When you come to the Yangtze River, you are not allowed to be slaughtered by them.

"Okay, since Deng Jun has such guts, then the governor can't let them down. Zhang Tu, Wen Leng, and Han Cong obey orders!" Zhou Kai said.

"The end is here!" Zhang Tusan said.

"Order the three of you to lead fifty thousand sailors to fight against Zhou Yu on the Yangtze River!"

"Here!" The three of them responded and left to gather troops.

"Governor, although Zhou Yu is not well-known, he is a disciple of the God of War Xie Zhan after all. Is your fellow apprentice, Zhang Tu and others not opponents?" After Zhang Tu and others left, Lu Feng asked Zhou Kai He said, although Zhang Tu and the others had some skills, would they be a bit reluctant to deal with Xie Zhan's apprentice?

But Zhou Kai was not worried at all. He said, "Lu Feng, the governor knows what you are worried about. Zhou Yu is capable. The governor believes that if he confronts our army with the same strength, the governor will never let Zhang Tu and others went there, but Zhou Yu only had [-] new naval forces in his hands, while Zhang Tu and others had [-] naval forces, twice as many as the enemy, and in terms of elite level, our army is far better than Deng's army. I can't think of any reason for Zhang Tu and others to lose."

This is Zhou Kai's greatest confidence. Zhou Yu may have some skills, but he only has [-] mobs in his hands, and Wu Guoshui is invincible in the world. If [-] beats [-], it is impossible to lose.

Even so, Lu Feng was still a little worried and planned to persuade Zhou Kai again, but Zhou Kai obviously didn't want to listen anymore. He is a good apprentice, but he is too cautious, so he said to Lu Feng: "The governor has made up his mind. , you don’t need to say more, Lu Feng, there is not enough food in the army, you have to work hard and go to Pengze to supervise the food yourself.”

"Here!" Lu Feng knew that Zhou Kai was sending him away on purpose, and replied bitterly in his heart.

Xiazhi, Deng Jun's navy camp, Zhou Yu and Gan Ning were standing at the ferry. They headed eastward at Xiakou, met Yang Yanzhao at Xiazhi, rested for a few more days, and are now preparing to continue their journey.

"Is there any news about the Wu Guo Navy?" Zhou Yu looked at the soldiers boarding one after another, and said to Gan Ning beside him.

Gan Ning nodded, and said: "Back to the governor, according to the report from the scouts, just yesterday, the Wu Guo Navy left the Chaisang Ferry, all the way upstream and downstream, hundreds of warships, large and small, should be all The army was dispatched, and several warships headed by them hung high the banners of Zhang, Han, and Wenwen."

"Zhang, Han, Wen? Didn't you find Zhou Kai's general flag?" Zhou Yu was puzzled. Didn't Zhou Kai personally lead the army?
Gan Ning shook his head and said, "We didn't find Zhou Kai's flag. According to the report from the scouts, Zhou Kai is still in Chaisang, and he hasn't left one step."

"This is strange. Could it be that Zhou Kai is really confident that he wants to defeat us with these unknown pawns?" Zhou Yu was very surprised, what kind of tricks was Zhou Kai playing?

"Captain, is it possible that Zhou Kai has something behind him? These sailors are trying to lure our army?" Gan Ning thought for a while.

Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "Impossible, water battles are unusual, everything depends on hard power, even if Zhou Kai really has some conspiracy and tricks, it is useless, if you insist on explaining, it is that Zhou Kai is too aggressive towards Wu Guoshui division. Confident, but this is also good, so we don’t have to go to them.”

"Captain, is there really no problem? The opponent has [-] sailors and hundreds of warships?" Gan Ning asked a little worried, after all, the gap in strength is quite large.

But Zhou Yu was full of confidence, and he smiled and said, "There is nothing terrible about the Wu Guo Navy. In the past few decades, the Wu Guo Navy has been stagnant, and the tactics used are still the same as those used when the master was in control. Things, the Dudu has already memorized the melons, if Zhou Kai leads the army personally, the Dudu is still afraid of three points, but these people, the Dudu doesn’t pay attention to them, by the way, the things I asked you to prepare are ready ?"

Gan Ning nodded and said: "Get ready, as the commander ordered, we prepared [-] small boats, all of which were filled with hay and kerosene, and also selected [-] soldiers who are proficient in water skills."

Zhou Yu nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Okay, the wind direction and the current are favorable to our army these days. Since the Wu army is looking for a dead end, then the governor will send them a ride. Gan Ning, order the army to speed up boarding the ship." ,ready to go."

"Here!" Gan Ning replied.

An hour later, all Deng Jun's sailors boarded the ship, and Zhou Yu gave an order to advance eastward along the river.

The section of the river between Xiazhi and Chaisang is not too long. In addition, Deng Jun went down the river, so it didn't take long to reach Chaisang.

On the Yangtze River, the Wu Guo Navy, under the leadership of Zhang Tu, Han Cong, and Wen Leng, headed upstream, but because of the wind direction, the speed of the fleet was a bit slow.

On the warship where Zhang Tu was, Zhang Tu was now on the deck, enjoying the gentle wind blowing from the river, but Zhang Tu's mood suddenly became a little heavy. Today's wind direction was a bit wrong, which caused Zhang Tu to have an ominous premonition in his heart.

"General, we found Deng Jun's battleship ahead!" At this moment, the soldiers in charge of observation found Deng Jun's battle flag and rushed to report to Zhang Tu.

Hearing this, Zhang Tu's eyes turned cold, he clenched the sword at his waist, and said: "Wave the command flag, order General Han Cong and General Wen Leng to charge the whole army, and use the warships to break up the formation of Deng's army!"

"Here!" After receiving the order, the messenger went to notify the flag officer and waved the flag.

As soon as the flag was moved, Han Cong and Wen Leng, who were not far away, saw it and ordered the whole army to charge towards Deng Jun. However, due to the wind direction and current, Wu Jun's charging speed was not fast.

On Deng Jun's side, Gan Ning also found that Wu Jun was charging against his own side, and hurried to Zhou Yu to report: "Commander, Wu Jun is charging Wu Jun."

Zhou Yu smiled disdainfully after hearing this, and said: "Qian donkeys are so poor, I thought the Wu army would make some progress, or this set of tactics, I want to use the advantage of warships to break through our army formation, I really think it is still a few years ago. Ten years ago, the ships were ordered to disperse and detour around the Wu army, and at the same time, ordered the fire ships to be ready and wait for the commander's order!"

Zhou Yu dismissed the tactics of the Wu Guo Navy, and blindly went on a rampage. It really is the era of Xie Zhan. In the past, it was because other countries did not pay much attention to the development of the Navy, but Deng Guo was different. As early as a few years ago, Deng Sheng ordered Zhou Yu to form a navy, and he still supported it vigorously. In terms of elites, Deng Guo's navy is no worse than Wu's navy. More importantly, Zhou Yu also discovered that the current Wu army's warships are basically the same as those of 20 years ago. Although the ship is well maintained, it still cannot change the situation of disrepair.

"Here!" Gan Ning replied, and then went to deliver the order. Soon, Deng's warships dispersed to both sides of Wu's army.
