When the Chu army's warship displayed the Kecheng heavy crossbow, the morale of the Wu army was instantly defeated.
Everyone's eyes showed fear. They even forgot to resist and avoid, and stood on the boat in a daze, looking up.
This is the result Liu Feng wants.
"put!"
He waved his hand and gave orders crisply. Immediately, countless sharp arrows whizzed out from the crossbow cavity of Kecheng's heavy crossbow. The entire river was instantly covered with fierce and dense whistling sounds, affecting the hearts of countless Wu soldiers below.
"Puff puff……"
The huge power of the arrows instantly penetrated the thin flesh of the soldiers. Some of them didn't even have time to scream, as several arrows penetrated their bodies, leaving several transparent holes.
"Hurry and take shelter under the Chu army's ship! Disperse! Disperse!" Taishi Ci's face became ferocious, and he waved his hands and shouted. The warship under his feet had quickly moved towards the Chu army's warship next to him.
Under the threat of death, the Wu army struggled to escape under the Chu army's ship.
The bottom of the Chu army's warship is a blind spot for shooting. It is impossible for the Chu army to destroy their own warship in order to kill the Wu army. The Kecheng heavy crossbow has extremely strong penetrating power and can penetrate even the Chu army's thick warship. Therefore, a blind spot was formed for Wu Jun to avoid.
But this space is very limited, and only more than fifty warships can take shelter. The other Wu army warships are all exposed to the sword of the Chu army. Screams come one after another, mixed with the whistling of the heavy crossbows in the city, in the early morning Loud in the sun.
Taishi Ci's eyes turned red.
Of the more than 5,000 people who were brought out, less than 1,000 people are left at this moment, but the battle is not over yet. I am afraid that the battle will end here.
Half a stick of incense time.
The whistling sound of Kecheng's heavy crossbows ended. The water was in a mess, the warships were dilapidated, the corpses of soldiers were everywhere in strange shapes, and the river surface was stained red with blood.
Huang Zhong looked at the tragic situation below expressionlessly and waved his hand: "Order the army to dispatch, all go down in grasshopper boats, kill the rest of the Wu army, and leave no one alive."
Liu Feng stood beside him and smiled without saying a word.
The victory in this battle, no matter what, is half of his credit. When the time comes to reward him for his merits, he can stand upright in front of his father.
He knew that Liu Bei had been actively taking concubines, visiting concubines every night, just like giving birth to a son to inherit his inheritance. He also knew that if Liu Bei really had a biological heir, his situation would be a bit dangerous. What he can do now , that is, make more military exploits and actively express yourself. If Liu Bei cannot get an heir, you will be the only candidate for the prince.
When attacking the Kingdom of Wu, Liu Feng actively forged ahead, often taking the lead and attacking cities, winning praise from everyone in Liu Bei. This was one of the reasons why he was retained to defend Lujiang.
Now in the first battle at Lujiang, they had won a complete victory. They were even able to kill the Wu army general Tai Shici. They also killed the enemy general in the first battle. If Liu Bei was happy with such a great achievement, it would be very possible for him to be given the title of prince.
Thinking of the prince's name, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.
"Master!"
Huang Zhong looked at Liu Feng: "This Wu army has been surrounded by our army, like a turtle in a urn. However, the Wu general Tai Shici is extremely powerful and poses a considerable threat to our army. In order to prevent a dog from jumping over the wall in a hurry, I will go down and capture him first."
Liu Feng was afraid that Huang Zhong would be the first to kill Tai Shici, so he immediately said with a smile: "Old general, don't worry, the Wu army is a turtle in the urn, why should the old general put himself in danger? Just dozens of archers to surround it, He can be shot dead; the old general has the emperor's high hopes, how can he take risks?"
Huang Zhong stared at Liu Feng and understood, but he couldn't point it out, so he nodded: "That's fine, Wu Jun has no power to resist anymore, so he sent heavy troops to surround him. Alas! It's a pity. If he could be captured alive..." said Sighing and shaking his head.
There was a smile on Liu Feng's lips.
He doesn't care about famous generals with superb martial arts or talents. Everything else has to give in to his political victory. For Liu Feng now, only the dead Taishi Ci can exert his greatest energy.
The Chu troops swarmed out in grasshopper boats and surrounded the Wu troops who were retreating in the turrets of the warships. They first fired two rounds of arrow rain, killing the Wu troops in large numbers, and then accelerated their rowing boats to kill them.
A fierce battle broke out below the warship.
Liu Feng stared at the battle below, staring at Taishi Ci who was fighting bloody battles below. He also admired Taishi Ci's power in his heart, but unfortunately, today could only serve as a step up for him.
"Report!"
At this moment, the scout hurriedly came to report: "There are more than a hundred warships of the Jing Army, less than twenty miles away from here."
When he heard that Jingjun was on the battlefield, Liu Feng seemed to have been slapped in the head. He turned around and stared at the scout: "What did you say? Jingjun is here?"
The scout said, "Yes, it's less than twenty miles away from here."
Huang Zhong was also taken aback, then calmed down and asked: "Whose flag is on the warship?"
Scout: "The big banner says: Dajing Shang Chengge Chenglang, Zhuge, the naval commander."
"Zhuge Liang!"
Huang Zhong's eyes suddenly opened wide and he looked at Liu Feng: "Zhuge Liang was the number one scholar of Dajing. He blocked Yuan Shao at Manhan Mountain and later entered Shu to capture Meng Huo in the south. He was the most Confucian general in the world, especially Zhang Xiu. A trusted minister should not be underestimated.”
Liu Feng reluctantly glanced at Tai Shici, who was fighting fiercely below, and nodded: "The Jing army is approaching fiercely. We must deal with it with all our strength. All the troops should be ordered to return to the warships and prepare to meet the enemy."
Although he was very reluctant to give up Tai Shici's head, the threat from Jingguo was greater. If he missed the opportunity due to lack of preparation and led to a major defeat, let alone receiving a reward, he would probably have to face Liu Bei's wrath. After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Feng had to choose the latter.
Huang Zhong nodded and ordered: "Send the general's order and all the sergeants return to the warships quickly, and all the spare warships are dispatched to prepare to attack the Jing army!"
"Here!"
The captains on the left and right rushed to deliver the order.
Taishi Ci, who was exhausted, was ready to die. When he was about to fight for the last time, he suddenly found that the surrounding Chu troops retreated quickly, and the warships around him began to move, heading east.
Taishi Ci, who had survived the disaster, stood there blankly.
I can't understand how the Chu army, which was already confident of victory, gave up so easily and turned around and left?
Suddenly he thought of Jing Jun next to him. It was possible that Jing Jun's naval forces had come here, forcing the Chu army to abandon themselves and defend against Jing Jun.
He exhaled and glanced at the messy battlefield, feeling like crying but without tears.
The remaining several hundred Wu troops looked pale, their armors were broken and covered in blood, and they looked at themselves with extreme fatigue.
Taishi Ci gave a wry smile: "Although our army lost this battle, we have also found out the strength of the Chu army. When we go back and wait for the emperor's arrival, we can regroup and fight the Chu army again!"
"Here!" all the officers and soldiers said.
At this time, Zhang Xiu had already led Dajing's elite cavalry to raid Jiuli Pass and kill towards Jingzhou. Zhuge Liang's purpose of coming here at this time was naturally to attract the Chu army's attention.
