This scream was like throwing a stone on the calm lake, immediately rippling layer by layer. The Wu soldiers who were half-wake up in a dream and half-awake instantly woke up, or were scared to wake up. They got up from the ground in horror, clasped their weapons tightly, and looked around in a daze. They had not yet awakened their minds and were unable to tell which direction the enemy came from.

Panic spread rapidly among the Wu army like a plague. Before they could see the pursuers of the Wei army, the Wu soldiers were already trembling with fear. But they looked around in a daze, but found that there was peace around them, and there was no sudden sound of horse hooves and shouts of killing everywhere.

Could it be that someone was joking to deliberately wake up these sleeping soldiers?

But if this is the case, who is so bold and disrupting the morale of the army? Once this is caught, it will be a human being.

At this time, someone shouted again: "The pursuers are on the river, and the warships of the Wei people are chasing us!"

The Wu soldiers suddenly realized that they had been guarding against the pursuers on the land behind them before, so when they heard that the pursuers came, they would subconsciously look behind them. Most of them ignored the situation on the water. At this time, they heard someone calling the pursuers on the river, and then looked over to the river.

But, on the river east of Baqiu, countless warships suddenly surged out, heading towards them. Although they were far apart and could not see the flag on the ship clearly, there was no doubt that this was the Wei army's naval fleet. After the Wu army's fleet was severely damaged, the only one who could really rampant the Yangtze River was the Wei army's navy.

Lu Kang's face suddenly became solemn. What he was most worried about before was the Wei army's navy. Once the Yangtze River channel was blocked by them, the Wu army would have no chance to cross north again, so he would go all the way and rushed to Baqiu in advance to cross the river, striving to cross the Yangtze River before the Wei army's naval fleet arrived in Baqiu.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as expected. The speed of the Wei Navy's naval army arrived exceeded Lu Kang's expectations, and they didn't come early or late. But they arrived only after the Wu army's vanguard crossed the river.

This kind of half-crossing attack will hit the Wu army even more powerful, and it will be able to cut off everything in the Wu army at once, separated from the north and south of the Yangtze River, making it impossible for them to take care of each other.

At this moment, the Wu army was busy ferrying. A large number of warships and fishing boats were shuttled across the river. No ship had time to lean towards the north shore. The three tower ships had just sailed to the center of the river, and there were countless Wu soldiers on the dock boarding the ship and preparing to set sail.

But this sudden situation disrupted the pace of the Wu army crossing the river. Many people saw the Wei army's fleet at the first time, and were sailing towards them in a mighty manner. The Wu army suddenly became terrified.

If they were on the shore, they might have already escaped in scattered places, but now they are on the boat, surrounded by rivers, and there is no chance to escape. Many Wu Bings jumped on the boat in a hurry, yelling to make the boat turn around.

But in order to load more people across the river, each ship is in an overloaded state. Such a heavy boat may be better to sail along the water, but if you go against the water, it is particularly difficult to row, but if you go against the water, it happens to be the direction of the Wei army. If they want to escape, they either go up against the water or row towards the shore. No matter which one is, it is very difficult.

Lu Kang issued an order to withdraw immediately. This is not difficult for ships that have just landed, not too late to leave the shore, and have not yet sailed far away, but for ships that have reached the heart of the river or are already very close to the north shore, it is really not easy to withdraw.

In fact, there is no need for Lu Kang to give orders. Many ships were so scared that when they saw the Wei army's warships appear, they all knew very well that with the current situation of the Wu army's fleet, it was impossible for them to be the opponent of the Wei army. What's more, the current warships of the Wu army are all used as ferries. When they are full and overloaded, the waterline of the warships is very low. Whether it is sailing or turning, they seem extremely clumsy. Such combat power is simply incomparable.

Moreover, even if the Wu army's ships retreated, they were completely out of order. Because there were so many dense ships, they would inevitably collide in such a panic situation. So before the Wei army's warship rushed to the front, the Wu army's ships had already crashed and suffered heavy losses.

This time when entering Baqiu, Cao Liang and his flagship Lingyun did not come, but the other four battleships were all assigned to Wang Jun's command and were unified in command. Wang Jun's naval power not only did not weaken, but was greatly enhanced. With four battleships with long-range attack capabilities, the Wei Navy was a king-like existence on the Yangtze River waterway. Not to mention that the Wu Navy is just a remnant now, even when they were in full swing, they were not necessarily an opponent of the Wei Army.

After the Battle of Jianye Crossing the River and the Battle of Pengze Lake, the naval forces of Wu State were destroyed, and the remaining power was not enough to compete with the Wei army. The Wei army had firmly controlled the water control power of the Yangtze River, and wherever they went, they were invincible.

At this moment, Cao Liang asked Wang Jun's navy to continue to go up the river, and the purpose was obvious, that is, to completely control the Yangtze River waterway, so that the Wu army, which originally traveled freely across the south and north of the Yangtze River, could no longer cross the river easily. This was equivalent to killing the remaining forces of the Wu army into two pieces, one piece in the north and one piece in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the head and tail could not be taken care of each other, so that the Wei army could defeat each other.

At the same time, after the Wei army controlled the Yangtze River waterway, the Wei army's land infantry and cavalry could cross the river to fight at any time and achieve free mobilization, which greatly improved the Wei army's mobility and it was just around the corner to capture Jingzhou.

Now Lu Kang leads the remnants of the Wu army to flee west along the south bank of the Yangtze River. If the destination of his trip is certainly Jiangling, then Lu Kang will definitely choose a suitable location to cross the river, because Jiangling is north of the Yangtze River. If Lu Kang does not cross the river, he will never be able to reach Jiangling.

But where would Lu Kang choose to cross the river? Wang Jun was not clear about this, but Wang Jun didn't care. After he was ordered, he immediately led the navy to set off. His goal was to go straight to Jiangling. The Yangtze River waterways along the way would be controlled and blocked by the Wei army. No matter where Lu Kang crossed the river, Wang Jun had a way to block it and would not let him cross the river easily.
