: The water battle begins

In the camp of the Wu army in Chaisang, Zhou Kai summoned all the generals to discuss matters.

"Where is Deng Jun now?" Zhou Kai asked.

"Returning to the Grand Governor, according to the scout's response, the main force of the Deng army had arrived under the leadership of Yang Yanzhao, and the Deng army's naval commander Zhou Yu, commanding 20,000 Deng army's naval commander, has left Xiakou and walked down the river." Lu Meng, who was in charge of Wu army's scout work, replied.

After hearing this, Zhou Kai smiled disdainfully and said, "Hmph, it's really amazing to dare to fight against my Invincible Navy in Dawu."

Originally, Zhou Kai was a bit solemn when he heard that Zhou Yu's name was a bit serious. After all, he knew each other well. However, after hearing that Zhou Yu had only 20,000 naval commanders and had only been in the army for a few years, Zhou Kai felt relieved. How could such a group of mobs be the opponent of the invincible navy that the Wu Kingdom had crossed the Yangtze River for two hundred years?

"Hahaha!" Zhou Kai's words caused laughter. When it comes to the water war, Wu was really not afraid of anyone. Although Deng's army has rubbed Han and Wei on the ground over the years, they are not allowed to slaughter them when they come to the Yangtze River.

"Okay, since Deng Jun has such courage, the governor cannot let them down, Zhang Tu, Wen Leng, Han Cong obey the order!" Zhou Kai said.

"The last one is here!" Zhang Tu and the other two said.

"I will help you and three others lead 50,000 navy troops to fight Zhou Yu on the Yangtze River!"

"Here!" the three of them responded and left to assemble the troops.

"Grandmaster, although Zhou Yu is not famous, he is a disciple of the God of War Xie Zhan after all. Will your fellow junior brother Zhang Tu and others be no match?" After Zhang Tu and others left, Lu Feng said to Zhou Kai. Although Zhang Tu and others have some skills, would it be a bit reluctant to deal with Xie Zhan's disciples?

But Zhou Kai was not worried at all. He said, "Lu Feng, I know what you are worried about. Zhou Yu's ability is the governor. I believe that if he fights our army with the same force, I will never let Zhang Tu and others go. However, Zhou Yu only has only 20,000 new naval troops in his hands, and Zhang Tu and others have some 50,000 naval troops, twice as much as the enemy. In terms of elite level, our army is far better than Deng's army. I really can't think of any reason Zhang Tu and others will lose."

This is Zhou Kai's greatest confidence. Zhou Yu may have some skills, but he only has 20,000 rabies in his hands. The Wu Navy is invincible in the world, and he will beat 50,000 to 20,000, and he will not lose.

Despite this, Lu Feng was still a little worried and planned to persuade Zhou Kai again, but Zhou Kai obviously didn't want to listen anymore. His disciple was good at everything, but he was too cautious, so he said to Lu Feng: "This governor has decided, you don't need to say much. Lu Feng, there is not enough food in the army. You can work hard and go to Pengze to supervise the food in person."

"Here!" Lu Feng knew that Zhou Kai was deliberately sending him away, and replied bitterly in his heart.

Xiazhi, Deng Jun Navy Camp, Zhou Yu and Gan Ning were standing at the ferry. They advanced eastward at Xiakou, met with Yang Yanzhao, and rested for a few days. They were now preparing to continue their departure.

"Is there any news about the Wu Navy?" Zhou Yu looked at the soldiers who were on board one after another and said to Gan Ning beside him.

Gan Ning nodded and said, "Return to the governor, according to the scout's return, just yesterday, the Wu Navy left the Chaisang Ferry and drove upstream all the way down. There were hundreds of warships of all sizes and sizes, and the entire army should have dispatched. The leading warships were hung high above the banners of Han and text."

"Zhang, Han, Wen? Didn't you find Zhou Kai's general flag?" Zhou Yu said inexplicably. Didn't Zhou Kai lead the troops personally?

Gan Ning shook his head and said, "I didn't find Zhou Kai's flag. According to the scout's return, Zhou Kai is still in Chaisang and has not left a single step."

"This is strange. Is Zhou Kai really confident that these unknown people want to defeat us just by relying on these little men?" Zhou Yu was very strange. What trick was Zhou Kai playing?

"Governor, can Zhou Kai have any backup plan? Are these navy troops trying to lure our army?" Gan Ning thought for a while.

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Impossible, water battles are unusual. Everything depends on hard power. Even if Zhou Kai really has any conspiracy, it is useless. If you insist on explaining it, it is that Zhou Kai is too confident in the Wu Navy, but this is good, so we won't have to find them."

"Governor, is it really okay? The opponent has 50,000 naval troops and hundreds of warships?" Gan Ning said worriedly, after all, the gap in strength is a bit big.

But Zhou Yu was full of confidence. He smiled and said, "The Wu Navy is nothing scary. For decades, the Wu Navy has been stagnant. The tactics used are still the tactics used when the masters are in control. This governor has already been familiar with these things. If Zhou Kai personally led the troops, the governor would still be afraid of three points, but this governor doesn't take these people seriously. By the way, have I asked you to prepare the things you prepared?"

Gan Ning nodded and said, "Be ready. As the governor ordered, we prepared five hundred small boats, all of which were filled with hay and tinder oil, and selected five hundred soldiers who were proficient in water."

Zhou Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, both the wind and the water flow in the past few days will be beneficial to our army. Since the Wu army is seeking death, the governor will send them a journey, Gan Ning, and send the army to speed up the boarding ship and prepare to set off."

"Here!" Gan Ning replied.

An hour later, all the Deng army navy boarded the ship, and Zhou Yu gave the order and advanced east along the river.

The river section between Xiazhi and Chaisang is not long, and Deng’s army descends along the river, so it takes less than a long time to reach Chaisang.

Above the Yangtze River, the Wu Navy led by Zhang Tu, Han Cong and Wenling to the current, but due to the wind direction, the fleet speed was a bit slow.

On the warship where Zhang Tu is located, Zhang Tu is now on the deck, enjoying the slowly blowing wind from the river, but Zhang Tu's mood suddenly became a little heavy. Today's wind direction is a little wrong, which leads to Zhang Tu's ominous premonition in his heart.

"General, the Deng army's warship was found in front of him!" At this time, the soldiers in charge of observation discovered the Deng army's battle flag and hurried to Zhang Tu to report.

Zhang Tu's eyes turned cold when she heard this, she held the sword at her waist tightly and said, "Wave the order flag, and order General Han Cong and General Wen Ling to charge, use warships to disperse the Deng army's formation!"

"Here!" After receiving the order, the messenger went to notify the flag officer and waved the flag.

When the flag was moved, Han Cong and Wenling, who were not far away, saw it, they also ordered the entire army to rush towards Deng's army. However, due to the wind direction and water flow, the Wu army's charge was not fast either.

On the Deng army and Gan Ning also discovered that the Wu army launched a charge against their own side, and hurried to Zhou Yu to report: "Governor, the Wu army launched a charge against the Wu army."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu smiled disdainfully and said, "I am so poor that I thought the Wu army would make progress. Is this tactic and want to use the benefits of warships to break through our formation. I really think it's still decades ago. I ordered the ships to spread apart and detour on both sides of the Wu army. At the same time, I ordered the fire ships to be ready and wait for the orders of this governor!"

Zhou Yu was disdainful of the tactics of the Wu Navy and kept rushing around. He really thought that this was the era of Xie Zhan back then. In the past, it was because other countries did not pay much attention to the development of the navy, but Deng State was different. As early as a few years ago, Deng Sheng ordered Zhou Yu to form a navy and strongly supported it. In terms of elite forces, the Deng State Navy was no worse than the Wu Navy. More importantly, Zhou Yu also found that the current Wu army warships were basically the warships from twenty years ago. Although they were well maintained, they still could not change the disrepair situation.
