Chapter 1350: Cannonball Zhou Yu

Sun Quan knew that he could not settle the score with Zhou Yu, so he could only cry and tell Shouchun about it.

Shortly after Sun Quan fled to Shouchun, Le Jin and Yan Liang attacked in a row, defeated Chengde, Xiquyang and other counties, and then captured Hefei, with the troops heading straight to Jiangdong.

Sun Quan knew that Jiujiang could no longer be defended, and he was unwilling to go back to Wujun Ku and others. He inquired all the way and learned that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had arrived at Xiakou, so he brought Xu Sheng and others to find Sun Ce.

When Sun Ce learned that Shouchun was trapped, he shouted in pain, "Mr. Cheng! How do I explain this to my father!"

Huang Gai on the side started to cry.

In their opinion, Cheng Pu would never surrender to the Hebei Army, so he had to die in battle or kill him after being captured.

Sun Ce asked the entire army to put on white banners. Fortunately, in order to mourn Liu Biao, the army prepared a lot of these things, and they were all ready for a while.

When Liu Qi and others learned that Sun Cejun had fired a white banner, they hurriedly asked Lu Su to ask. When they learned that Jiujiang was falling and Cheng Pu was killed, they couldn't help but sigh.

This incident caused some empathy between the two armies and the relationship became closer.

Cheng Pu was a general of the Yangzhou Army. This time, the father and son were captured at the same time. Sun Ce directly set up a mourning hall and took Sun Quan to guard Cheng Pu together.

Sun Ce's behavior made the Yangzhou army soldiers feel a little sad that they will win, and they all said they wanted to seek revenge on the Hebei army.

Although Sun Quan did not say it directly, Zhou Yu was such a smart person. He could feel Sun Quan's resentment for not sending troops to rescue Shouchun.

Therefore, Zhou Yu wanted to use a victory to show that he was strategically right to give up Shouchun.

What Zhou Yu thought of was attacking Cai Maoshui Village at night.

When Sun Ce learned about Zhou Yu's idea, he immediately expressed his support. So Zhou Yu joined forces with Liu Qi's troops, Huang Gai as the Right Army and Huang She as the Left Army. Zhou Yu led Lu Fan, Song Qian, Chen Wu, Dong Xi and other powerful generals to the central army and fought to the north bank in the dark.

According to the agreement, none of the three fleets did not light the lights on a large scale, but just hung lanterns on the poles of the front ship to guide.

To avoid being noticed by the north shore, the lantern was only covered with thick cowhide on one side, in order to only shine on the south side.

——

Cai Wei is Cai Mao's younger brother, and it was his turn to be responsible for the night patrol.

Cai Wei sat on the boat, looking at the quiet and orderly water camp, and smiled and said, "The hard work these days is rewarding. When you go to invite the general to the water camp to the military parade in a few days, you will definitely eliminate the general's dissatisfaction."

Cai Wei looked up at the arrow tower again, oh, it should be said to be the turret.

High turrets stand in the corners of the water village. Cai Wei has never seen the power of these cannons, so he has always been curious whether these iron barrel-like things can really increase the water village's defense.

Just as Cai Wei was thinking about whether he was about to turn around, he suddenly heard a bell.

Um?

Cai Wei looked at him and saw that the lookout soldiers on the hot air balloon in the air were shaking the bell.

Ma Qiang knew how Cao Cao was defeated in the Battle of Red Cliff. In order to prevent being attacked by fire, Ma Qiang arranged more than 20 hot air balloons over the water camp and dry village, allowing the lookout soldiers to monitor day and night for any surprise attacks by the South Bank naval army.

The lantern set up by Zhou Yu is indeed difficult to see the light directly from the north, but it is visible from a high place to look down.

"Go! Ask me why I'm warning! Did you make a mistake?"

Cai Wei had just observed the river for a long time, but found nothing. He didn't think there was any enemy situation. He was even wondering if the lookout soldiers above were hungry and wanted to eat.

The lookout soldier who found that there were lights on the river was desperately shaking the bell on his hand, but found that there was no movement below. Before he could sound too low, he simply took out the signal fireworks and lit them and headed them to the distance.

Bang!!

The red fireworks exploded suddenly.

Because there are many hot air balloons in the sky, this signal firework is actually dangerous, so this is the last and most serious warning method.

The explosion of fireworks woke Cai Mao in his sleep.

He walked out of the cabin and found that there was no alert outside yet. He was so angry that he cursed, "The lookout soldiers are warning! What is Cai Wei doing?

Quick! Beat the drum! The whole army is on guard!!!”

Cai Mao was awakened by the fireworks, and Zhou Yu, who had been staring at the movements on the north bank, was even more anxious.

If a sneak attack is discovered, it is a strong attack. Now this little force is definitely not enough.

When Zhou Yu heard the drums on the north bank, he confirmed that the fireworks were definitely not played with Ma Qiang bored, but a warning signal.

"I thought Cai Mao and others had been distracted from the battle formation for a long time, but I didn't expect to be so alert!

Beat the drum!!! Attack!!!”

In an instant, the sound of drums on the river surface was loud, and the three fleets of ships were lit up. At this time, Cai Wei realized that the opposite side had touched a place only one mile away from the water village, and was about to rush over in a blink of an eye.

"not good!"

"Shoot the arrow!!!Play the arrow!!!"

"Quick! Get up! The enemy is attacking the camp!!!"

Knowing that he had neglected his duties, Cai Kan simply came to the village gate to command the soldiers to resist in order to redeem his sins.

Huang Gai saw Cai Wei from afar and led an arrow to shoot him. Cai Wei fell down as he responded to the strings. The soldiers in the front gate were immediately panicked. Seeing this, Zhou Yu urgently ordered the march. All the roads attacked together, and the crossbows were fired at the same time. The soldiers jumped into ships and fought. The front camp of the water camp was at risk of falling.

"boom!!"

At this moment, artillery on the surrounding turrets began to bombard, and shells hit the coalition ships one by one. The loud noise made the coalition soldiers even more suspicious, wondering what had happened.

"Look! That seems to be a flagship, hitting that one!"

A gunner on a turret saw Zhou Yu who was commanding the battle with a telescope and said to his comrades beside him.

"Which ship is right? Your art of arts class is gone? Report parameters to me!"

"I'm not too anxious! Wait for me to calculate...distance...height...wind speed...yes, the direction is 003 left!High and low-2!Let!"

Boom! A cannonball flew towards Zhou Yu's boat with a hot temperature, and then smashed it into the river about twenty meters beside Zhou Yu's boat.

The huge waves made Zhou Yu frown.

Is this the power of artillery?

I am about three hundred feet away from the water camp, but I am still within the range of the cannon...

If such artillery is installed on the ship, how should our army deal with it?

Pass!

Hurry ~

Another shell, this time it was only more than ten meters away from Zhou Yu's boat.

At the same time, due to the bombardment of artillery on the turret, coalition ships were constantly hit and their combat power was greatly damaged.

Although the solid bullet could not directly sink the ship, seeing a big hole appearing on my boat, I was not interested in fighting.

Finally, when a shell landed on the deck of Zhou Yu's boat, Zhou Yu gave the order to ring the gold.

The night attack can no longer achieve great results. If you continue to fight, you will be a strong attack. Moreover, Zhou Yu is already very satisfied with the power of the Hebei Army's artillery.
