Chapter 1933 The tide-maker stands up to Tao

Although Tan Kai couldn't figure out the situation, he still chose to believe in Yao Chong. Although Yao Chong was a surrendered general of the Wu Kingdom, he performed very positively since joining the Wei army. It can be seen that Yao Chong was also actively seeking opportunities to make meritorious contributions. Only by making meritorious contributions can he have the opportunity to be promoted. Otherwise, as his surrendered general, he would probably be nailed to Sima's position for the rest of his life.

Tan Kai was also eager to make meritorious and rewarded. When the Wei Navy was established, most generals had relatively low positions. This is normal. After all, those who were promoted to generals in the Wei army had their lives for the rest of their lives and made countless contributions. I have never heard of anyone who was promoted to generals by training alone. Currently, there are more than a dozen lieutenants in the navy. If they have the opportunity to be promoted, they can step into the threshold of the general. Whoever will become a new general is eager to try.

Of course, there was no military achievements, everything was a luxury. This time, the navy broke through the Yangtze River defense line, but the navy did not get the battle. All the contributions to defeating the enemy were stolen by the catapult camp. The navy generals also secretly held their breath.

Later, the Wei army's combat direction was divided into two groups. The Central Army led the troops to attack the southeastern counties, while the Right Army was going to attack Jingzhou from north to south. Wang Jun led most of the navy to Ruxukou westward. This time, it might finally be the navy's turn to show its skills. The lieutenants who accompanied Wang Jun to fight were all ready to do something.

Tan Kai, who was left in Jianye, was very depressed. It seemed that it was not his turn to be promoted to general this time.

But no one expected that the opportunity would come so suddenly. Yang Hu asked for help and gave Tan Kai the opportunity to attack. Tan Kai was extremely excited. This was really a late striker, so he cherished this opportunity to play.

There are opportunities, but whether you can get promotion depends entirely on your own efforts. After all, this battle between Qiantang will be the first real water battle after the establishment of the Wei Navy. Whether the title of the Wei Navy can be started is all in this battle. If you win, you will become famous all over the world, and if you lose, you will be infamous for thousands of years. Therefore, Tan Kai did not dare to slacke in any way.

The Wu navy was famous all over the world. Although it was defeated in the Battle of Crossing the River, it made the Wu navy very unwilling to be defeated. After all, they were not defeated by the same opponent, but were secretly lost by the catapult. Therefore, the Wu navy also sought revenge and at the same time to justify itself.

The Qiantang naval army of Wu that Tan Kai faced this time was also quite strong. In Qiantangwan, the Wu army also had hundreds of warships. They had extremely rich experience in water combat. Even if the Wei naval army had twice as many warships, they dare not say they had an advantage in strength. Therefore, it was still quite difficult for Tan Kai to win this battle.

Yao Chong's suggestion made Tan Yang quite moved. If he could use the power of the tide, the Wei army could rush to Qian Tang in one fell swoop.

At this time, Yao Chong proposed to set off, and Tan Kai ordered all ships to start anchoring and sailing, heading towards Qian Tang.

At this time, the heaven was very beautiful, and the east wind was blowing at level 4 or 5. It was the wind that was hanging, the wind was smooth and the water was moving forward.

In normal circumstances, the estuary of rivers is always in the direction. It is naturally difficult for ships to go upstream at this time. Even if the wind is positive, the speed will be greatly reduced.

But at this moment, the Wei army's warship was moving very fast, and even the speed exceeded the normal speed. This made Tan Yang secretly amazed. Why did he sail so fast, obviously he was traveling against the current?

Before becoming the naval officer, Tan Kai had always served in the army. Later, the naval army selected officers. Tan Kai had transferred to the naval army because he could do a few steps. To be honest, before he drove out of the Yangtze River estuary, Tan Kai had never seen the sea like.

A few days ago, when he led the fleet into the sea, he looked at the vast ocean in front of him, and he felt a little confused. When he was practicing the navy in Chaohu, Tan Kai sighed that Chaohu was so big, but unexpectedly, after he arrived in the sea, Chaohu was really a witch, and he really understood what it means to be a wizard.

In fact, Tan Yang is completely unfamiliar with the sea, and he is even more confused about the tides of the sea. Even if he is in the tide at this moment, he still doesn't feel any big changes. He just knows that the direction of the water flow has changed.

But as the warship sailed inward, the green mountains on both sides appeared and loomed in the morning light. Tan Kai discovered that the calm water surface became surging, and the warship also began to pound with the current and shaking violently.

Tan Kai felt very curious. Although the wind on the river was not strong, the water flow was so turbulent. The warships were walking between the peaks and valleys, which made the navy on the ship frightened. Such strong winds and waves were indeed something they had never encountered in their lives.

Yao Chong pointed to Tan Kai and said, "Person Tan, there are dozens of miles ahead of him, Qian Tangcheng. The more you go, the bigger the waves, so that the soldiers can drive the boat carefully. If you accidentally fall into the water or capsize, you will not be able to save them."

Tan Kai nodded repeatedly, his face was solemn. Such huge waves were indeed unprecedented in his life. It seemed that it was not easy to be this trendsetter. Tan Kai immediately sent an order to let the sailors of each ship drive carefully and not be able to make any mistakes.

However, the storm on the river was too big. Several warships unfortunately capsized, and the sailors on the ship fell into the water. Except for a few people who were rescued, most of them were buried in the belly of fish.

The loss of several ships before they succeeded, which was obviously a big blow to the morale of the Wei army, but at this time, Tan Jian had no way out. If he wanted to retreat at this time and go against the tide, it would be even more dangerous, so they could only move forward and no longer have the possibility of turning back.

During such a tide, the Wei army was not intercepted halfway, and they could successfully reach the river near Qiantang. It was already three o'clock in the sun. At this moment, the Wu naval warship patrolling near Qiantang suddenly discovered that a fleet of ships was coming in a mighty way in the surging waves. The masts of the warship were flying high, but the "Wei" flag was roaring.
