Taishi Ci is not a fool.
When the Chu army's scout ships were roaming around, they knew that there must be an ambush ahead, so they ordered the armies on both wings to lead a hundred warships to outflank the Chu army from the left and right wings, and wait for the Chu army to attack before breaking it.
He personally led the remaining warships and headed straight for the other side.
As the warship rowed across the middle of the river, the sky gradually became brighter and the mist gradually dissipated. The Chu army also began to take action. The Chu army's fluttering battle flag could be seen in the thin mist from a distance. The number is so dense that it is impossible to distinguish the number of people.
Taishi Ci frowned, waved his hand to signal the army to speed up, and ordered the archers to get ready.
"Bang!"
Not long after advancing, the fast-moving warship seemed to have hit something and was severely intercepted. As a water warrior, Taishi Ci immediately understood that this was a hidden stake set by the Chu army.
The so-called hidden piles are just a few iron chains or stones placed under the water. If a fast-moving warship hits it, it will definitely break the bow of the ship and cause the battlefield to become flooded.
This kind of hidden piles had little effect against large and complete ships, but Huang Zhong was convinced that the Wu army had no warships, so he spread hidden piles widely in the Yangtze River, causing all the Wu army's warships to be stranded in the middle of the river, waiting for the Chu army to slaughter them.
Sure enough, when the Chu army on the opposite side saw the Wu army's warship hit the hidden pile, they rushed over quickly.
At the same time, there was a sudden killing sound on the left and right sides. Dozens of tall warships came out of the mist and surrounded Taishi Ci. There were iron chains connecting the warships. Wu Jun Xiao The two crude warships had no power to resist when facing the iron chain.
Seeing the enemy warship Tai Shici did not change his expression as expected, but when he saw the iron chains connecting the warships to the warships, his expression changed drastically. This Huang Zhong killed their simple warship. This iron chain was like a life-threatening impermanence, making all the Wu troops terrified.
Especially driven by the rapid speed of the tall warships, they swept across all directions.
But the war has been triggered, and the only option is to fight to the death.
Taishi Ci quickly calmed down and calmly analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of both the enemy and ourselves. Facing tall warships and iron cables, they are undoubtedly at a disadvantage, but they have their advantage, which is their small size and flexibility. Not all of the Chu army's warships were linked together, and they could exploit every opportunity.
So he ordered the army and ordered all the archers to prepare! Light the fire and shoot the arrow!
He also ordered the army to break into pieces, speed up to avoid the enemy's huge warships, and use his small size and speed to fight guerrilla warfare with the Chu army.
Taishi Ci's tactics were very effective.
The boat swam quickly to avoid the Chu army's iron ropes, ran from the front to the back, and set fire to the Chu army's warships. Many warships were too late to escape and were caught by the iron chains, causing the boats to capsize and kill people.
Although the Wu army adopted flexible tactics, the Chu army was condescending. The Wu army only dared to dangerously shuttle between the ships and shoot arrows, and did not dare to get close. Half an hour after the war broke out, the Chu army suffered less than a hundred casualties, but the Wu army already had more than a dozen battleships. The ship was destroyed and hundreds of people died.
At the same time, Huang Zhong on the opposite side also saw Wu Jun's countermeasures, and a faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Although Taishi Ci's countermeasures were effective, they were not very effective and instead dispersed his own forces. If he was surrounded by the Chu army's warships, he would definitely escape death.
"Tai Shi Ci has some brains, but unfortunately he seems a little powerless in front of my majestic battleship." Liu Feng next to him said with a sneer. It seemed that he also saw the enemy's problem.
Huang Zhong nodded: "Order the army to change its tactics. Three warships form a team to surround and kill the enemy."
Subsequently, the Chu army sent orders to the soldiers to wave their flags.
The Chu army's warships began to change, and three warships began to encircle them, forcing the Wu army's small boat to have no way out. It was surrounded by the Chu army's large ships. Some soldiers with quick eyesight and quick hands saw through the enemy's purpose and quickly rowed out of the encirclement.
In just half an hour, Wu Jun suffered over a thousand casualties.
Taishi Ci felt anxious after seeing this.
His eyes quickly scanned the battlefield, and he was overjoyed when he finally saw Huang Zhong's main warship. He ordered the messengers to pass the order, and ordered all the warships hidden on the left and right wings to surround Huang Zhong's warship. No matter how much the losses were, Huang Zhong will also be surrounded and killed.
As the saying goes, to capture the thief first, capture the king. Only by capturing or killing Huang Zhong can the battle be ended quickly.
An hour had passed since the start of the war. The sun in the east gradually climbed up to the horizon in a fish-belly white color. Its translucent red light reflected half of the sky. The water mist on the river surface was like a mouse after seeing a cat. It disappeared quickly and time became urgent. stand up.
Because so far, Taishi Ci did not know the number of enemy troops.
Ruthless arrows roared in the sky, demanding lives. Taishi Ci ordered the armies on both wings to kill Huang Zhong's warship as quickly as possible. Because the Chu army's warships were larger, it was extremely inconvenient to turn back, and they were not as nimble as the Wu army's small boats, which left Huang Zhong's position vacant and unable to return reinforcements in time.
Taishi Ci was also sure of this and ordered the army to advance quickly.
Seeing Taishi Ci's main battleship rushing towards him, Huang Zhong knew what he was planning, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Taishici is really smart, he figured out that the general's big ship would not be able to turn around in a short time. If you want to capture the thief, capture the king first!”
Liu Feng looked behind and said: "If he knew at this moment that there are two hundred reserve warships behind us, I really don't know what his expression would be."
Huang Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the opposite side.
I saw Taishi Ci tall and tall, wearing a battle armor and looking majestic in the red sunshine. He had the air of a general. He was obviously a general who was good at fighting. He felt a little itchy in his heart. He twisted his wrist and said, "I heard that Taishi Ci is extremely skilled in martial arts. Back then, he and Sun Ce, the overlord, fought hundreds of rounds on a par with each other. His archery skills were perfect, and I would like to learn from him today."
Liu Feng saw that Huang Zhong was itching, so he said: "Okay, just follow the old general and I will hold down the formation. If anything happens, I will order all the warships to attack together."
On the surface, Huang Zhong is the commander-in-chief, but Liu Feng has a special status. He is Liu Bei's adopted son. On another level, the status of the two is equal. If the status of the commander-in-chief is put aside, Huang Zhong has to bow to Liu Feng. .
Huang Zhong then smiled and said, "This will be a great help to you, sir."
Liu Feng clasped his fists and said, "Old general, be careful. Tai Shici is a famous general in Wu State and is very powerful."
Huang Zhong laughed loudly: "If I hadn't been named a famous general, I wouldn't have gone down." With that, he moved his wrists and walked off the deck, took the weapon Baodiao and went down to fight Tai Shici.
Due to time constraints, Wu Jun's speed quickly surrounded Huang Zhong's main warship from three directions. At the same time, they also saw hundreds of undispatched warships not far behind.
Seeing the battleship behind him, Taishi Ci felt chilled in his heart.
