Chapter 1986 Catching turtles in the urn
After escaping back to the water camp in Chaisang, he was still in fear. The little heart continued to thrust and thump, but the water camp with complete defensive facilities gave him some sense of security. The water camp tried hard to calm himself down as much as possible.
The fall of the Wu army fleet is definitely an indescribable disaster. This will face an unprecedented difficulty for the mainland who vows to defend Chaisang.
Until now, his mind is still chaotic, filled with the explosions, calls, shouts of killing on the battlefield, and those tragic scenes that keep flashing through his mind, making him unable to concentrate on thinking.
It's over! It's really over!
A sad voice rose in his mind. This naval fleet was almost the last hope of the Wu army. Now that the fleet is destroyed, can Chaisang still defend it? Once Chaisang loses, Jingzhou will be opened, and Jingzhou will definitely be over.
"Report! Report to the Governor, the Wei army's fleet has arrived outside the water camp." The messenger trotted in and reported to Lu Shi, looking flustered and out of breath.
Now the entire Wu army is in panic, and there is naturally nothing strange about the messenger's appearance.
Lu Shi did not feel any surprise. Now that the Wei army won the battle in the Huxin Island, it was just the time to pursue it. If the Wei army did not come, it would be a relatively unexpected thing. Now it seems that there is really no accident that can happen again. The Wei army came faster than he imagined. Lu Shi just fled back to Chaisang, and the Wei army was already chasing him, and he did not give them any chance to breathe.
"Close the gate of the village, guard against the enemy, and prohibit anyone from fighting." Lu Shi issued a mechanical order, his voice seemed weak. At this moment, Lu Shi's energy was indeed gone, and even he himself doubted how long Chaisang could hold.
It is impossible to go out to fight. Now, the broken ships that fled back to the water camp are unable to compete with the Wei army at all. If you go out, you will die.
Thinking back to the beginning, the Wu army was the king of this water area, invincible and no one could save his edge. But now they can only hide in the water camp, dare not go out of the gate and dare not step on the second gate. Can such a navy still be called a navy?
Lu Shi smiled bitterly, and suddenly realized that the water camp would not be safe at this moment. Although the water camp has a large number of defense facilities and obstacles to block the attack of the Wei army's warships, that was the past. The warships that fled back to the water camp can ensure safety and safety.
But now the attack method of the Wei army's naval division has completely changed. They can use catapults with long-range attack capabilities to attack. The Wu army's water camp was only established to guard against ordinary bow and arrow attacks. In other words, the depth of the water camp is not enough to avoid the attack of the Wei army's catapults. In this way, the warships that fled back to the water camp became living targets, and they could only be sunk or destroyed in the end, and there was no other way out.
No wonder the Wei army could have pursued the Wu army's warships halfway, but they ignored it and simply blocked the Yangtze River channel and blocked the warships' path to escape back to Wuchang, allowing the Wu army's fleeing ships to escape back to Chaisang in a relatively easy way.
It seems now that the Wei army is not rude and has no time. It also adopts a hunting method, just like the wolf hunting on the grassland. They will force all the flocks into a desperate situation where they cannot escape, and then surround and annihilate them.
The Wei army probably used this method now. They were not in a hurry to chase and kill, but sealed the Wu army's retreat as much as possible, forcing them step by step into the water camp of Chaisang.
The water camp looks extremely safe, but time has changed. Now the Wei army, who has long-range strike capabilities, is eager for them to escape back to the water camp. In this way, the Wei army can take down all the Wu army's warships without much effort.
When Lu Shi thought of this, he couldn't help but feel cold on his back. At this moment, the water camp was no longer a place to protect them, but instead became a cage and shackle for the Wu army.
However, unlike the situation on the island in the middle of the lake, although the warships cannot be saved, the sailors on the warship can leave the warship and board the shore, and there is no need to worry about falling into the water and drowning after the warship sinks.
So the Land Shi quickly ordered that all sailors abandon their ships and landed on the shore to avoid being hit by the catastrophe. After all, no one wanted to be like Bu Chan, and his head was smashed by the flying stone bullets.
But before the Wu army could complete its retreat, the Wei army's attack began. A large number of stone bombs and fire bombs flew into the air and fell into the Wu army's water camp. Many warships were hit one after another, some ignited a raging fire, while others were directly penetrated into the bottom of the bilge and slowly sank.
This time, the Wei army did not give the Wu army much time to react. After the five battleships of the Wei army arrived at the periphery of the Chaisang Water Village, they occupied one position and immediately began to attack the Chaisang Water Village.
It seems that the stock of fierce oil fire bombs is limited. During this attack on the Water Village, only about 10% of the fierce oil fire bombs used by the Wei army, while more than 90% of them used stone bombs.
Even if the destructive power of the stone bomb is not as good as that of the fierce oil-fired bomb, the remaining warships of the Wu army are already in a jar, and they have no chance to escape or the ability to counterattack. They can only be passively beaten, and one less ship was knocked out by the Wei army until the entire army was destroyed.
When the Wei army began to attack, the Wu army had actually received a land-style order and was evacuating the shore. But before they could completely leave the warship, the stone rain poured into the sky. Many Wu soldiers were unfortunately hit by stone bullets, either dead or injured. At the last moment of retreat, many people were still hit.
The Wu army had no intention of fighting at all. At this time, they had to run away with their heads in their arms. They fled in a hurry, fearing that those blind stone bullets would fall on their heads and follow them step by step.
Then, the warships loaded with soldiers from the Tunqi Battalion also sailed to the front of Chaisang Pass, and the battleships began to turn around their targets to attack the Wu army's shore defense offensive and provide support for the Tunqi Battalion landing operations.
No matter how strong the fortifications were, they were like paper under the attack of the catapult. What's more, the Wu army was too confused about their naval forces. The so-called shore defense fortifications were just sloppy. At this moment, facing the Wei army's stone rain attack, they were already defeated. Lu Shi could only give up the defense of the ferry and retreated all the troops to Chaisang Pass, preparing to make the final stubborn resistance.
