The two sides were more than ten miles apart and walked opposite each other, and soon encountered one place.

"Haha, there are only more than a hundred people, and it's time for me, Mr. Ma to make me a contribution."

The General Ma was ecstatic and hurriedly urged his soldiers to speed up the rowing.

Unexpectedly, when the other party's ten boats rushed over, they immediately turned the bow of the ship and quickly fled.

"I want to run? It's not that easy, hurry up, catch up." General Ma kept urging and shouting.

However, although these more than a hundred Jiangdong soldiers looked cowardly, they were quite capable of rowing. Both sides went downstream. The Jiangdong ship itself was in front of the Jingzhou ship. The dozens of Jingzhou ships chased after them for a long time but could not catch up.

"Damn it, it's useless. Get out of here, I will come in person."

General Ma was eager to make contributions. Seeing that he had been chasing him, he was anxious and pushed a rowing soldier beside him away, took the oar and took it himself.

As expected, the speed of the boat he was in increased a lot, and the Jiangdong ship in front gradually approached, which made General Ma more and more excited.

"General, they turned into the tributary."

A soldier reminded General Ma that he looked carefully and saw that the ten rivers traveling eastwards no longer walked along the river, but turned to the right and entered a much narrower tributary next to him.

General Ma sneered, "Hmph, do you think you can get rid of me like this? I, Ma, grew up by the river since I was a child, and thought that this mere water net would make me lost and thus retreated. It was ridiculous and chased me."

This tributary is only six or seven feet wide on the left and right, and is winding and twisting, which is very difficult to move. Every time the Jiangdong ship turns a bend, General Ma will shout in a hurry and even jump in the middle of the foot.

What made him most collapse was that not long after he walked, the ships in Jiangdong turned into another smaller river from this tributary.

The river is only about two meters wide in total, not only more curved, but also has reeds and water plants on both sides, which is extremely blocking the view.

"Damn it, how could these guys escape like this? It's a pity that they were always a hundred steps away, otherwise I would have to shoot them to death even with my bow and arrow."

General Ma was chasing him for more than half an hour and was already upset. He wished he could catch these more than a hundred enemy troops immediately and torture them hard, so that they could not survive or die, so that they could not feel happy in their hearts.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ten ships on the opposite side stopped inexplicably, and turned around and looked at them, which made General Ma happy.

"Haha, are you tired of running away? Okay, let me chop off your head and take it back to get the merits."

He shouted loudly, and the strength of rowing in his hand increased a little more. In his eyes, the Jiangdong soldiers in front of him were no longer people and boats, but military achievements and rewards piled up.

However, before he could laugh a few times, one of the hundreds of people in Jiangdong who looked like a general suddenly shouted: "My sons, why don't you take action?"

"Swish swish swish swish..."

The reeds on both sides were suddenly pulled open, and teams of Jiangdong soldiers showed their bodies. They all held bows and arrows and pointed at the ships in Jingzhou.

"Ah... I've fallen into the trap..."

General Ma's face suddenly turned pale.

On the side of Cai Mao's fleet, another general led hundreds of people to chase and kill ten Jiangdong Zaoke.

At this moment, Cai Mao no longer had the passion and compliment he had at that time, but instead frowned and looked like he was full of thought.

"No... I always feel that this matter is a bit strange... The sentry sent by Zhou Yu is a bit too many, and the team just now is already the thirteenth wave."

Zhang Yun disagreed: "Hey, Zhou Yu is just a child with yellow mouth. Facing my vast navy in Jingzhou, I can't help but feel sad. He sent many whistles to find out, which proves that this person is timid and not worth laughing at."

Cai Mao waved his hand: "I don't think so. The first wave of General Ma who went to pursue was nearly two hours and has not returned yet, including the soldiers and generals who were chasing Jiangdong's posts and all the generals. None of them returned, and I always feel a little uneasy."

"General, don't worry. The last general thought that the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong fled too fast and chased them far away for a while, so they did not return in time. Every time our army sent pursuing troops, at least twice as much as the enemy, at most four times or even five times as much as the enemy. There was no navy in Jiangdong. Even if Zhou Yu had an ambush plan, he would not have such a force. What are you afraid of?"

Zhang Yun's words made Cai Mao feel a little relieved: "Well, Ji Ming's words are reasonable. But it is not a solution to keep going like this. It is better to turn defense into offense."

Zhang Yun hurriedly asked, "General, how can you turn defense into offense?"

Cai Mao smiled and said, "This is Zhou Yu's son's army, which is far inferior to our army. He is good at fighting elites, and he should not be the same as our army. In this way, our army should play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. I see that there is only two hours left here, so I should send a strong brigade to take one step first and attack Chaisang. If it can be captured, it is the best. Even if it cannot be defeated for a while, it will make it difficult for it to disturb our army like this. When our army arrives, will the city of Chaisang be ready?"

"It's amazing, the general is really a clever plan. I'll be willing to attack the city in person." Zhang Yun immediately asked for his order.

Cai Mao nodded: "Well, I think only you can do this. Let me give you five thousand soldiers as the vanguard. If you take down Chaisang, you will remember your first contribution."

"The last general takes the order."

Zhang Yunxi raised his eyebrows and ran out immediately.

A building ship and several ships formed a mighty fleet, riding the wind and waves, and moving forward.

It was also the weather that was beautiful. At this moment, the breeze that originally blew from the northwest suddenly increased its wind force. Zhang Yun's fleet unfolded its sails, like a meteor passing by the water surface, leaving behind waves of water.

Zhang Yun was confident and confident: "Even God's will help me, how can this battle be invincible? Zhou Yu has only thousands of newly trained naval forces, how can he fight against our Jingzhou Navy? This battle must have made him understand what the way to fight water."

When he was proud, the hull seemed to hit something, and suddenly vibrated violently, and then stopped.

"What's going on? There have never been any reefs in the river, how could this be the case?"

Zhang Yun was very familiar with this river. After Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, he attached great importance to waterways. In order to facilitate caravans and transport grain and grass, rivers in Jingzhou were cleaned regularly every year to ensure that the ships would not run into the reefs.

Although this place is already in Yangzhou, over the years, Yangzhou has entered Jingzhou through this river, with no less than tens of thousands of ships. He has never heard of any incidents of hitting the reefs, so he was very surprised.

At this time, a soldier ran over in a panic: "General, it's not good. The river surface is covered with hidden piles. Our fleet hit the hidden piles. Several trolley boats had broken the bottoms. Only this tower ship was slightly cracked and there was no big deal."

"Dark stake?" Zhang Yun's face turned pale: "What kind of hidden stake?"

The soldier replied, "These hidden stakes are all rolling wood as thick as thighs and nailed into the bottom of the river, and are still several feet away from the surface of the river, so it is difficult to detect the naked eye. The gap between the hidden stakes is more than a meter. If you want to clean it, it will take a lot of time."

"Damn it!" Zhang Yun was furious and slashed on the fence next to him with a sword.

"Zhou Yu, how dare you deceive me like this? I will send an order to clear the hidden stakes as soon as possible. After the cleaning is completed, I will order twenty ships to use bamboo poles and wooden sticks in front to explore the way carefully."

"Here."

Soon, there was only the "plop" sound that kept hearing, and thousands of Jingzhou naval soldiers jumped into the river and began to clear the stakes.

Although there are thousands of these hidden stakes, all the soldiers in Jingzhou have excellent water properties. They drilled into the water, or worked together, or worked together by three people, and without much effort, they could clean out a hidden stake from the soil and quicksand at the bottom of the river.

In just over half an hour, most of these thousands of hidden stakes were cleaned up, and several trunks that had broken at the bottom of the ship had been repaired.

Zhang Yun looked a little calmer, and he looked ahead with hatred: "Zhou Yu... Such a traitorous plan to harm me, I will kill you."
