Chapter 185 Big defeat
Ailang felt that it was too difficult to catch up with the Jiangdong Navy in terms of the quality of officers and soldiers! He could only start with equipment! Unfortunately, he had watched so many "Exploration and Discovery" programs back then, but no episode talked about ancient naval warships. It felt that it was unlikely to build a warship that could suppress the Jiangdong Navy warships.
Ailang walked along the lakeside, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said happily: "By the way! Why did I forget this thing!" He quickly returned to the bedroom, took out a blank wooden slip, and wrote with a brush: "Gunpowder formula: saltpeter,...; charcoal,...; sulfur,..." He put down the brush, picked up the wooden slip, looked at it, his face was full of joy. He fantasized about using gunpowder weapons to abuse the army of this era, and couldn't help but be excited and impatient. However, Ailang didn't know that things were far from as simple as he imagined.
Ailang took off his clothes and lie down on the bed, and soon fell asleep.
After sleeping until midnight, Ailang was awakened by a rush knock on the door. He sat up and shouted in anger: "What the hell are you doing?"
The knock on the door stopped, and Dian Wei's loud voice came in from outside the door: "Master, something big happened!"
Ailang felt very surprised. He got off the bed, put on his clothes and walked quickly to the door, opened the door, and saw Dian Wei's anxious look, and asked angrily: "The sky has fallen? What's the big deal?"
Dian Wei clasped his fists and said, "The water village was attacked!"
Ailang was startled and rushed out of the prefect's mansion. Not long after, Ailang came to the city gate tower. Xu Huang and Hao Meng, who had arrived at the city gate tower first, immediately stepped forward to pay their respects.
Ailang suddenly saw the fires from the water village soaring into the sky. He was shocked and shouted, "What's going on?" Xu Huang said, "It's Sun Jian's navy. Two quarters of an hour ago, Sun Jian's navy attacked the water village. Our army was in a bad situation." Ailang said anxiously: "Send troops to reinforce!" "Two thousand infantry and cavalry have been sent. But it may not be of great effect."
Ailang asked angrily, "What does 'I'm afraid it doesn't work much'?" He understood as soon as he said that the truth was very simple. The other party came from the water. Although Lu Bu's infantry and cavalry were strong, they could not walk on the water. He could only sigh at the river when Sun Jian's attack on the water camp. Ailang suddenly felt a sense of frustration that was powerful and could not help but curse in anger: "Damn it! Damn it! Come on the ground if you have sex!"
Seeing that the fire in the water village was getting bigger and bigger, the four tower ships had turned into huge pillars of fire and burned violently on the water surface, and the other two tower ships were not spared. Ailang was so angry that he asked Xu Huang and Hao Meng to guard the city, and he led Dian Wei and his personal soldiers to head towards the water village.
When they arrived at the water camp, the fire in the water camp was out of control. Their own naval forces were abandoning their ships and retreating to the shore. A fighting ship was unwilling to fail and rushed into the enemy group, trying to fight with the opponent's side, but they did not want to be hit by an opponent's building boat. A loud noise was heard, and the fighting ship was actually knocked into two pieces in the waist. More than a hundred officers and soldiers fell into the water one after another, as if they were dumplings! On the other side, the remaining building boat rushed into the middle of the enemy group. Before they had time to attack, countless rockets flew from all directions. The officers and soldiers on the ship immediately suffered heavy casualties. The sails burned fiercely. Soon the whole building boat turned into a huge torch. The officers and soldiers dived to escape one after another, and the movements were slower and they were burned by the flames and screamed!
Seeing that his water soldiers were almost unilaterally slaughtered by their opponents, Ailang couldn't help but get angry, and his eyes seemed to be about to spit out fire! He urged the Red Rabbit Horse to rush to the riverside, but in the face of the river water barrier, he could not do anything at all!
...
The sky finally dawned. The noise of the war finally subsided. The water camp, which was originally magnificent, was burned to the land, and only the wreckage was left on the water surface and floating on the water surface. There were also the bodies of many officers and soldiers floating among the wreckage. In this battle, the Lu Bu navy was defeated in the war.
Ailang looked at the scene in front of him and frowned tightly, fucking all the women in Sun Jian’s and Zhou Yu’s family in his heart.
Song Xian Houcheng, who was in a mess, came to Ailangma and knelt down to apologize: "The last general is incompetent, please punish the general..."
Although Ai Lang was full of anger, he went to Sun Jian's family and Zhou Yu's family. They didn't blame them. They said angrily: "It's useless to apologize! Get up!" The two generals were moved and ashamed when they knew that the general did not blame him.
Ailang asked angrily: "How did you fight this battle?"
Song Xian hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Report to the general. The two generals did not suddenly. When the enemy fleet approached, they had already discovered them. The two generals immediately led the fleet to leave the port to prepare for the battle. But unexpectedly, the other party suddenly released the fire and burned over! The enemy fleet attacked fiercely with the fire. Our army fought desperately, but it really couldn't resist. Finally, it was finally defeated..."
Ailang also saw the scene of his own naval army fighting desperately against the attack last night, and felt a little relieved. What else can the new recruits who have just been training for this kind of fighting spirit require them? Then he asked: "How much has our naval officers and soldiers lost?"
Song Xian looked at Hou Cheng, and Hou Cheng clasped his fists and said, "The casualties are not very large, about two thousand people. The specifics are still under statistics."
Ailang said: "You two are responsible for the aftermath. The list of the killed and wounded soldiers will be handed over to Lao Jia as soon as possible." The two generals agreed with their promise with a fist.
Ailang looked at the desolate ruins in front of him and said ruthlessly: "My navy is not so easily defeated! One day I will find the place back!"
The camp of Dantu Wu Jun was filled with joy. Han Dang shouted excitedly: "This time I gave Lu Bu a big threat! The navy was wiped out by us before we could go to fight!" Huang Gai smiled and said, "It is a dream to Lu Bu want to compete for power on the water with us! Even in another hundred years, he would not want to compete with us on the water!" Then he clasped his fists at Zhou Yu and said with admiration: "It is all up to the great governor's magic tricks that we can destroy their navy in one fell swoop!"
Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and Huang Gai couldn't help but lose his mind, secretly admiring: The Grand Governor is good at everything! He looks so handsome! He is much more beautiful than most women in the world! It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a fairy descending to the earth! Alas, being beautiful is beautiful, but it just looks a bit awkward!
Zhou Yu said: "This great victory is the contribution of the navy soldiers, not mine." The generals were very grateful when they heard this.
Zhou Yu frowned and said, "Although this victory severely damaged the morale of Lu Bu's army and cut off the possibility of the opponent's raid on Wujun from the east, it is impossible to make Lu Bu retreat. The Lujiang battle is inevitable. I will return to Lujiang tomorrow to prepare for the war, and the navy will be handed over to General Huang." Huang Gai held his fists and agreed. Zhou Yu reminded: "The veteran general must not take the initiative to attack, wait for my order." Huang Gai held his fists and responded.
When Ailang returned to Hefei, Jia Xu and Ju Su rushed to meet him immediately. Seeing Ailang's mood was not high, Jia Xu clasped his fists and asked, "Lord, I heard that the navy was attacked by the enemy?"
Ailang nodded and cursed: "I was bitten by Zhou Yu's little white face. Damn it! The personnel losses were not huge, but the warships were all over!"
Jia Xu frowned and said, "In this way, the plan to attack at the same time between the east and west lines is not feasible."
"Yes. Zhou Yu and that sissy and Sun Jian, the old bastard can now concentrate on guarding Lujiang! This time, I was slapped hard by them!" I glanced at Ju Su and smiled and said, "Ju Su, are you here?" Ju Su quickly clasped his fists and said, "I came to Hefei two days ago and was about to report to the lord." Seeing his serious appearance, Ai Lang felt a little uncomfortable and waved his hand and said, "Don't look like this, just be casual." "Yes!" Ju Su bowed and responded, still very serious. Ai Lang rolled his eyes and thought to himself: This guy is just a boring person, he can do whatever he wants.
Jia Xu blamed himself: "The defeat of the navy is the negligence of his subordinates. He should have thought that the enemy might come to raid while our navy was not yet trained! Please punish him!"
Ailang waved his hand, "How could this happen? People are not gods, how could they want to get everything? You don't have to blame yourself!" Jia Xu was very grateful.
Ailang said: "We can attack, right? I don't want to wait any longer!"
"Reporting to the lord, it will take more than a month for each army to train. In addition, it will take time to prepare food, supplies, arrows, supplies, etc. for food, supplies, etc. Fortunately, the lord captured more than one million arrows and supplies when he captured Qingzhou and swept Jizhou. Otherwise, it would be far from enough to prepare enough arrows alone. Our army could only prepare well in early summer. Unless there are major fighter jets, it is difficult to launch an attack in advance."
Ai Lang knew that what Jia Xu said was right, and he couldn't help but feel depressed. He had just fallen into Zhou Yu's hands and was eager to get back the situation, otherwise he wouldn't be able to swallow his breath.
Ju Shu clasped his fists and said, "Lord, the Jiangdong navy is the best in the world. It is impossible for our army to train a navy that is comparable in a short period of time! My subordinates suggest that it is better not to confront the Jiangdong navy at this moment. The navy should be transferred to the Donglai direction to form training! Donglai is far away from Jiangdong, and the Jiangdong navy is strong but not as good as the whip. Moreover, the waves on the sea are surging, and we will definitely be able to train an elite navy. When the navy is trained strong enough, our army must cross the river and then transfer the navy back to the river to compete with the Jiangdong navy!"
Ailang said depressedly: "Isn't this just because he can't beat others and run away with his tail?" Ju Su hurriedly said: "Warning to the world depends on the final victory, not on the gains and losses of a moment and a place! The lord is determined by the world, why care about the shame at this moment? In the future, the water army is trained, and you can come and clear the previous shame again! There is a story about sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, so please let the lord know clearly!"
