Zhuge Zhi's warship rushed directly into the river. The warship going upstream broke through the waves, and countless Jiangdong naval officers showed off their power on the warship.
The shouts of countless Jiangdong soldiers reached Ma Zhong's ears. Seeing the Jiangdong soldiers getting closer and closer to him, Ma Zhong was inevitably a little nervous.
Ma Zhong, who has been fighting in the mountains and forests of Yizhou all year round, did not expect that the water battle in Jiangdong would be so difficult.
And this is also a big reason why Ma Su did not compete for the coaching position.
It's not that Ma Su has a good heart, but that Ma Su is also not good at water warfare. Even though he was born in the land of Jingxiang, he is completely incomparable with the generals of Jiangdong in this regard.
This time Ma Zhong and the others were completely beaten by Zhuge Zhi when they first entered Jiangdong. Fortunately, although Zhuge Zhi was good at water warfare, he was not a man who was proficient in planning.
As they chased and fled, the waterway became increasingly narrow, and Zhuge Zhi's warship was inevitably affected. The gap between the two sides was getting closer and closer.
Na Ma Zhong finally saw the smoke rising in front of him.
Following Ma Zhong, he saw a three-way fork in the water not far ahead.
Wolf smoke rose from the west, and Ma Zhong immediately rushed into the branch road to the east. At the same time, not far from the branch of the waterway, a whistle rose, and a sharp and harsh sound was also followed by a column of wolf smoke.
Immediately afterwards, giant, rough trees floated down from the river.
This is the mouth of the sea, and the water flow is already quite turbulent. Although these giant trees have been cut down very hastily, they are enough to block the river and pose a sufficient threat to the large ships in Jiangdong.
After seeing this scene, Zhuge Zhi also realized that something was wrong.
Although he didn't know what the ambush was about, it was not his turn to think about it now.
He quickly ordered the warship to turn around.
But the river here is narrow, and these Jiangdong warships are all riding the wind and waves on the sea. Now it is very difficult to change direction.
At the same time, a large number of Han soldiers appeared on both banks. Under the leadership of Zhuge Qiao, the strongmen in this army threw two cans of kerosene directly onto the warship closest to the shore.
Then arrows burning with flames were shot towards the warship.
Although the warship was somewhat prepared to prevent fires, when the flaming arrows touched the kerosene that had been thrown onto the ship, the fire immediately became stronger.
The raging fire ignited Jiangdong's warship, and soon the warship turned into a soaring torch in the river.
Countless Jiangdong soldiers screamed and jumped into the river amid the flames. In the end, they either died in the river or at the hands of the flames.
Of course, many of them were eventually salvaged by Zhuge Qiao and his people on the shore. As a man from Jiangdong, Zhuge Qiao still had some experience in this.
Relying on this shock, Zhuge Zhi finally understood that this situation was not good. He knew that if he continued to persist, he would not be able to turn around the warships. The other party could directly use fire attacks to burn their ships one by one.
In order to prevent them from having no way to escape after this happened, Zhuge Zhi could only choose to put down the small warships such as the stern battleship in the ship, and then let his soldiers take small boats to find a place to go ashore first.
As for these warships... As soon as you escape, you can immediately go find your own general Wei Wen. When the time comes, Wei Wen will take action and block this place with a real fleet.
They couldn't run away even if they wanted to.
Then the warship will still be theirs!
This time Zhuge Zhi just took part of the warships for a routine inspection and search, and did not really want to do anything.
Zhuge Zhi felt that it was because of his lack of preparation that he gave the other party this opportunity.
Therefore, he wanted to continue fighting.
But before that, he needed to find a way to get himself to the shore.
There are many soldiers in Jiangdong, and it is very difficult to take them all away with the help of the warships.
As for what would happen to the people left behind, Zhuge Zhi couldn't care less at this time.
He took more than a thousand remaining people on a fighting ship and quickly escaped from the ambush with his excellent boat maneuvering skills, but they could not continue walking immediately.
Because not long after they left here, they discovered that a team appeared again on the river.
And there were also countless rafts and crude rafts blocking their way.
At the same time, there were more than ten warships with Han soldiers holding crossbows and preparing for battle.
At this moment, Zhuge Zhi also felt a little guilty, although Ma Zhong looked like he really didn't know how to fight with water.
But the ambush he encountered here, coupled with Zhuge Qiao's methods, made him feel that the other party might not really be so incompetent.
If this was a usable soldier, then charging forward would be like seeking death.
Therefore, just in case, he could only evacuate temporarily, and then found a good ferry and rushed over.
Why is it said to be a good "ferry"?
Because here, Zhuge Zhi clearly saw signs of people coming ashore, and there was even a small boat that looked like a private merchant ship.
For this reason, Zhuge Zhi didn't think too much. He led his troops ashore directly from here, and then planned to walk through the dense forest in front of him to find an official road.
But maybe Zhuge Zhi really didn't think about why he ended up like this.
Just as he took everyone off the water, and before they even entered the dense forest, Wang Ping, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed out.
And he rushed out directly with the Wudang Feijun behind him.
This place is already on land, even a dense forest in the mountains. Here, Wang Ping, who had been vomiting until he was unconscious, has completely recovered his strength.
With his previous resentment towards the sea water, Wang Ping led his troops directly towards Zhuge Zhi in front of him.
But even though he was so angry, Wang Ping still remembered what His Highness, who was deeply affectionate and kind to him, told him before leaving.
"There are also people of Zhuge's lineage who fled in Jiangdong.
You are going to Jiangdong today. If you encounter one, be sure to bring it back to the orphan.
The prime minister had worked hard for the Han Dynasty for many years, but his clan was too thin. "
Wang Ping didn't know why Liu Chan wanted to find his clan members for the prime minister.
But Wang Ping would remember whatever Liu Chan said, so when he saw the flag behind Zhuge Zhi, his eyes became much brighter.
Looking at the "Zhuge" flag that could no longer float, Wang Ping couldn't help laughing.
"If you all give way to a certain family, then... that certain family's property will be captured alive!"
