Sun Yi even expressed deep doubts whether Cao Liang's ambush plan could work. Looking at the current situation, the chances of success are almost slim.

In Sun Yi's understanding, if the Wei army wanted to fight an ambush, it would have to find a way to separate the Wu army's fleet and create opportunities to defeat each one, so that there would be a chance to succeed.

But Bu Chan, the chief general of the Wu army, was also very smart. Although he did not give up on the pursuit, he always firmly carried all the Wu army's warships into a regiment. The distance between each warship was very close. This dense formation was the most solid formation in water battles. The flanks of each warship were protected by other warships. The Wei army had no chance to surround one or several ships alone.

If the Wei army took the Wu army as the target of encirclement and annihilation, it would be obvious that the Wei army would not have such a big appetite. Sun Yi knew very well that with the current strength of the Wei Navy, he would not be able to eat the main fleet of the Wu army in one bite. Even if the Tan Yang fleet that Cao Liang had just brought and the five four-unlike warships would be far from enough.

The Wu navy has been scattered in the Yangtze River waters for decades, and no country's water power can compete with it. Although the Wei navy surpassed the Wu state in scale, the combat experience and actual combat level of both sides are not at the same level.

From the previous few battles, we can see that the Wu army clearly had an advantage in water battles, and this gap could not be narrowed by the Wei army in a short period of time.

Sun Yi felt a little regretful. He was unable to let the Wu army divide the troops out. Sun Yi felt helpless. In fact, he had already tried his best, but the Wu army leader Bu Chan was even harder to fight than he imagined.

When he was an official in Jingzhou, Sun Yi still knew Bu Chan. Bu Chan was the second son of former prime minister Bu Zhi, and his brother was the governor of Bu Xie in Xiling. Bu Chan relied on the prestige of the Bu family and was a very arrogant person. He was a typical second-generation official. However, in terms of his leadership level, he was still capable. Otherwise, Lu Kang would not have sent him to take on the important task of rescuing Chaisang.

In order to lure Bu Chan to attack, Sun Yi had already made extreme provocations. He believed that Bu Chan's temper would definitely not tolerate it. As a result, there was not much deviation from what Sun Yi expected. Bu Chan did come out in full and chase him all the way.

However, when Bu Chan was chasing, he did not lose his rationality. He just chased and rushed forward at all costs. Instead, he maintained a strict formation. Even a little flaw was not revealed. It seemed that Bu Chan also had a strong mentality of defense. He would not have thought of what Sun Yi could think of.

Seeing that the island in the middle of the lake was getting closer, Sun Yi sighed and could meet with the main fleet of the Wei army. He had to give up his final efforts. It seemed that it was impossible to disperse the Wu army's fleet.

However, Sun Yi suddenly thought that Cao Liang's request was just to lead the Wu army's fleet to the island in the middle of the lake, and did not make any other requests. If Cao Liang's request was followed, he had already completed the task successfully.

As for whether the Wu army was divided or not, Cao Liang did not mention it at all. Everything was just the result of Sun Yi's own imagination. Could it be that Cao Liang only needed him to lead the Wu army here? His Majesty has another plan to defeat the enemy?

Sun Yi was afraid that he would not have thought about Cao Liang's strategy to defeat the enemy, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, bypassing the bend in front, Sun Yi could meet with the main fleet. His mission had been completed, and the next battle would be handed over to the main fleet.

Bu Chan also noticed the island in the middle of the lake very early, because although the formation of the Wei army's fleet was scattered, the direction of the escape had not changed much, just pointed to the direction of the island in the middle of the lake. Due to the concealment of the island in the middle of the lake, Bu Chan really couldn't see the waters behind the island in the middle of the lake, but he guessed that the Wei army would definitely have ambushed in the waters near the island in the middle of the lake.

Thinking of this, Bu Chan sneered. Even if there is an ambush, what can I do? Is Wu Jun still afraid of them?

Bu Chan has already had a clear understanding of the military strength of the Wei army in Pengze Lake. Even if the Wei army had a small sampan, Bu Chan was also clear. With the current military strength of the Wei army in Pengze Lake, even if they were all dispatched to ambush, Bu Chan had no reason to be afraid. The battle on the water surface was the real combat power of both sides. Bu Chan had sufficient confidence to fight this battle.

This is also a decisive battle he had been waiting for for a long time. If the Wei army huddled in the water camp, with strong defense around it and the help of shore defense fortifications, even if the Wu army attacked strongly, it might not have any result. This is also the reason why Lu Kang has always opposed his active attack.

Now the Wei army is actively seeking war, which is exactly what Bu Chan wants to do. They want to set up an ambush on the island in the middle of the lake to lure the Wu army into division and defeat them one by one. Such a trick has long been seen through Bu Chan. The current Wu army fleet is even more neat than ever before, with a tight formation and no flaw at all. No matter how many people or ships the Wei army came, they will be wiped out today.

Finally approaching the island in the middle of the lake, Bu Chan could even see the lush trees on the island in the middle of the lake, full of lush green. However, Bu Chan did not look at the island in the middle of the lake. He ordered the Wu army's fleet to keep a distance from the island in the middle of the lake. In this way, even if the Wei army ambushed archers on the island in the middle of the lake, it would be useless. No matter how many ambush they had, as long as the Wu army did not dock, they would be helpless.

Bu Chan focused more attention behind the lake island, which was also the direction for Sun Yi's fleet to escape. If Bu Chan's inference was correct, he would have encountered the main fleet of the Wei army in advance.

Sure enough, after the Wei army's fleet turned, it found a huge fleet coming towards the waters ahead.

This fleet was extremely large in size, and Sun Yi's fleet quickly merged into it, but after receiving two hundred Mengchong ships, he didn't seem to feel that the fleet had added anything, just like a drop of water pouring into a pond, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

But Bu Chan was still sneering. The Wei army's fleet size was much larger than that of the Wu army, but if there were more ships and more people, would it be possible to win a battle?

This is obviously impossible, otherwise no one would train the navy, just build more ships. The complexity of water war is much stronger than that of land warfare. The strength of its combat effectiveness cannot be solved by just a few more ships. This battle step is determined to win.

Since the Wei army had shown all the cards, Bu Chan had nothing to fear. He ordered the fleet to advance at full speed and rushed towards the Wei army.
