Chapter 1976 Cowardly
As expected, it was not beyond Bu Chan's expectations. In the early morning of the next day, when most of the Wu soldiers were still in their dreams, they heard the sound of drums outside the water camp, and the Wei army really came to challenge them.
The generals of the Wu army quickly stood up and hurried to Bu Chan's flagship, waiting for Bu Chan's arrangement.
"The general is really predictable. The Wei army has indeed come to challenge him." A general told Bu Chan with a complimentary look on his face.
Bu Chan smiled slightly, his expression seemed very calm, but he could not hide the arrogance in his heart. He said, "If a general can predict the enemy first, then you can take the initiative on the battlefield, and victory will no longer be far away from you."
The general nodded and said, "What the general said is very true, but he is foolish. I hope the general can give some advice."
Bu Chan smiled and said, "This kind of thing can only be understood, not expressed in words. When you fight a few more battles on the battlefield and practice more, you will naturally learn it."
The man seemed to understand, but Bu Chan said so, so he had to pretend to understand and nodded repeatedly to say yes.
Bu Chan did not pay attention to him anymore, but walked to the side of the ship with great strides and asked the middle officer: "How is the fleet prepared?"
The central officer immediately replied: "Report to General, all warships are ready and can set sail at any time."
Bu Chan said loudly: "Open the village gate, all warships, attack!"
Since Bu Chan had already calculated that the Wei army would attack, he was already ready to fight and let the Wu army fleets enter the state of preparation one day in advance and could enter the battle at any time.
Lu Kang's request to Bu Chan is that the enemy will not move, and I will not move. If the enemy moves, I will respond. Since we cannot take the initiative, once the Wei army launches an attack, the Wu army will still actively respond.
The generals of the Wu army seemed to have been depressed for a long time. They had strong naval forces, but they never had any place to use their skills, which made the generals of the Wu army very depressed. Although they had repeatedly asked Bu Chan for battle before, they were rejected by Bu Chan without exception.
Bu Chan did not say that this was Lu Kang's order, and he did not give convincing reasons for why he could not go to fight. He just ordered that anyone who violated the order would not be allowed to fight without authorization.
As the chief general of the navy, Bu Chan naturally has the authority of the chief general, which is absolutely not to be provoked, and he has no obligation to explain to his subordinates, so no matter what the people below have, they must obey the orders unconditionally.
At this time, Bu Chan finally issued an order to fight. The generals of the Wu Kingdom who had been depressed for a long time were immediately excited. Finally, they could fight. They were eager to try and immediately returned to their respective warships, raised their anchors and set off one after another.
The Wu army's water camp was not just a gate, but a dozen gates were set up side by side at the same time. Usually, at most, one or two gates would be opened for patrol or supply ships to enter and exit. However, today it was different. With Bu Chan's order, more than a dozen gates were opened at the same time. The Wu warships in the water camp were out in sequence. However, in a moment, the lake was lined up with Wu army warships, with great momentum.
The one who came to challenge the Wei army was a small fleet of hundreds of ships composed of the Mengchong battleship. After they arrived outside the Wu army's water camp, they arrogantly cursed.
I originally thought that the Wu army would still be huddled in the water camp like a turtle, or sent a few warships to fight, but I didn't expect that the Wu army would actually go out in full swing, even seven building ships were sent out.
The tower ship is so huge that compared with the Wei army's Mengchong battleship, it is simply the difference between a giant and a dwarf. If the tower ship is a big tree, the Mengchong battleship is at best just a small branch. When the two sides confront each other, it is not of the same order of magnitude.
The Wei army was still arrogant and arrogant before, but the Wu army's tower ships and all the warships broke out together, and these Wei army immediately became like eggplants beaten by frost - wilted.
So, before the two sides started the war, the Wei army's warships began to turn around and flee. At the beginning, a few warships fled, and then the other warships were also shaken and turned around and fled. At this moment, they no longer cared about the team shape and fled, and they all fled in a mess.
The generals of the Wu army couldn't help laughing. It seemed that the Wei people were just thief-hearted but not brave. They came to challenge them with a fierce momentum, but when they saw the momentum of the Wu army fleet, they would actually leave in a deserted state. Seeing their cowardly look, it made people laugh.
The Wei army's defeat without fighting naturally aroused the Wu army's fighting spirit. How could it be possible for the flesh that had reached its mouth to escape?
So the generals of the Wu army asked Bu Chan one after another, hoping to pursue the Wei army.
Bu Chan originally thought he would have a big battle with the Wei army, but he didn't expect that the Wei army would flee without fighting before the war. Could it be that there was a fraud in it?
However, water warfare is completely different from land warfare. Land warfare is often affected by terrain. The enemy can set up ambush in dangerous and hidden places such as mountains, hills, and jungles. The pursuit army is easily affected.
But water wars are different. It is generally difficult to hide above the water surface. You can see clearly the situation more than ten miles away, especially when standing on the top of the building boat, it is simply a clear view, and the situations far and near are all visible. It is almost impossible for the Wei people to ambush on the water surface.
Moreover, even if there was an ambush, Bu Chan was not afraid. With the strength of the Wu army, they had no reason to be afraid of the Wei army. It was only because of Lu Kang's order that Bu Chan did not attack easily.
Otherwise, with Bu Chan's temper, he would have led the naval fleet to directly attack the Wei army's water camp and expelled them from Pengze Lake.
But Lu Kang's orders cannot be disobeyed. Now Lu Kang is in charge of the Jingzhou water and land army as a general, and is the most powerful person in the Wu Kingdom. Even Shi Ji and Bu Xie obey him. How dare Bu Chan act? Therefore, all his actions in Chaisang must obey Lu Kang's command.
However, Lu Kang's order was not dead, but he just refused to give in to Bu Chan to act without permission. However, if the Wei army took the initiative to launch an attack, Bu Chan could still carry out a counterattack.
The current situation is completely in line with the conditions set by the Lu Anti. This time the Wei army took the initiative to provoke, and Bu Chan had to fight back. As long as he did not enter the water camp of the Wei army, there would be no ambush by the Central Wei people. Bu Chan could still grasp the degree of this. Even if he encountered the main force of the Wei army on Pengze Lake, he would be sure to defeat it.
So Bu Chan ordered the Wu army fleet to pursue with all their might and would not allow the Wei army to escape easily.
