Jiang Gan's trip to Jiangdong was obviously not very smooth. Although Sun Quan received him, it was obviously impossible for him to agree to surrender. Although he had expected it, Chen Mo was still a little disappointed. After fighting for so many years, he was a little tired.

, the world is also tired.

I hope this is the last battle.

Liu Bei has escaped to Nanzhong, and there is little hope of coming out in this life. Shuzhong has been decided, but now Chen Mo can use all his strength to deal with Jiangdong. The training in the water village has begun to bear fruit, at least the Jingzhou army feels like that.

Well, as for how the war will turn out, we have to go to the battlefield to know.

Dozens of walking boats surrounded the two boats. They looked quite large on the river. The Ming army went down the river. Taking advantage of the geographical advantage, the Jiangdong Army fought against the current and suffered some losses. But today's

The direction of the wind is somewhat uncertain.

This was a tentative attack. Jiangdong Army took the initiative to provoke, and Chen Mo naturally would not ignore it. Dozens of boats shuttled back and forth under the command of the flag, and did not directly use the water to rush down.

Shoot the arrow!

The general on the stern looked at the Jiangdong warship slowly approaching, and gave decisive orders. In the water battle, bows and arrows were the dominant force, and arrow clusters flew through the air.

The distance between an arrow and a shot is the distance between life and death. The rain of arrows briefly intersects in the air, and then falls in different directions.

The soldiers on both sides had already raised their shields. The soldiers controlling the boat were rowing the oars vigorously. Arrows landed on the shields, and some landed on people. The boat was still cruising on the river nimbly.

A corpse fell from the boat, and blood dyed the surrounding river red.

Chen Mo waved the command flag, and the stern began to speed up and ram towards the Jiangdong Army downstream. Dozens of boats surrounded the surroundings. After all, it was not a land battle, and the momentum could not be said to be very fierce. This is also the biggest difference between water battles and land battles, hand-to-hand combat.

It is also a collision between ships. Before boarding the ship to fight, personal bravery will not play any role here. This is also the reason why Lu Bu failed to succeed several times when he went south. Lu Bu's style of play will not work here.

.

Dozens of walking boats collided together before the boat collided. In the shaking hull, many soldiers fell directly into the water. The violent collision sound continued to sound. Boats with poorer quality may have fallen apart directly. It is possible to survive in this environment

Maintaining stability and sobriety is the standard for a qualified naval warrior.

"Crossbow shooting!" Seeing the distance between the two sides approaching, Chen Mo waved the command flag again, and Yuanrong crossbows were set up on the cute pets, shooting wildly at the opponent. Crossbows capable of ten consecutive rounds are the best expression in this kind of war.

The cold crossbow arrows shot through the bodies of the Jiangdong soldiers. The angry Jiangdong soldiers jumped high and threw themselves on the stern, but were pierced in the air by the spears of the Jingzhou navy who were well prepared.

The battle gradually became fierce. On the chaotic battlefield, dozens of water ghosts quietly sneaked in with murderous intent and began to destroy the bottom of the boat.

Chen Mo frowned slightly. He had no good solution in this situation, but the Jiangdong soldiers were obviously very familiar with this process. The Luoshui soldiers were assassinated by these water ghosts one by one in the water. Even if they were equally proficient in water-based skills, they would not be able to survive in the water.

The fighting skills are obviously not as flexible as these water ghosts.

"Shoot at the water!" The navy general on the stern ordered quickly, and Yuan Rong's crossbow began to shoot underwater. After a while, there were many floating corpses on the water, and some water ghosts would use the cover of the corpses to escape. The battle in Jiangdong

The ship was approaching at this time, and Chen Mo quickly ordered the ballistae on the ship to suppress the opponent's rear formation, sinking three boats one after another, and one boat also began to fill with water.

In the distance, on Jiangdong's boat, Zhou Yu looked at this scene, shook his head and said with a smile: "This Chen Bodao does know some water fighting, but this is not enough!"

As he spoke, he waved the command flag in his hand, and the sound of drums and trumpets on the river suddenly changed. The Jiangdong navy in front began to disperse in all directions, bypassing the Jingxiang navy on the river, and moved towards Chen Mo's building ship.

"Your Majesty, leave quickly!" The expressions of the generals beside Chen Mo changed as they watched this scene. Chen Mo would be in danger if these naval forces were allowed to come closer.

Chen Mo naturally understood this. He frowned and looked at the direction of the other party's ship. This Zhou Yu... doesn't follow the rules.

Naturally, he had no reason to fight these naval forces, and signaled the ship to turn around. At the same time, the naval forces also began to move closer, trying to prevent the other party from getting closer. At the same time, he waved the command flag continuously, and rows of crossbowmen came to the side of the ship holding Yuanrong crossbows.

, shooting wildly at the approaching Jiangdong navy. As for the water ghosts hiding under the water, Chen Mo didn't have a good idea. He had people throw down a few cans of kerosene and a few torches, and the river suddenly burned.

The flames started, preventing the water ghosts who were sleeping to breathe, but it also ignited Chen Mo's boat. Under Zhou Yu's regretful eyes, the boat slowly sailed into Xiakou Village.

This is not a formal confrontation. Similar confrontations have occurred from time to time during this period. The Jingzhou navy has always lost more than it has won, but like today, it is the first time that Chen Mo and Zhou Yu personally commanded the battle. Although Zhou Yu won,

But it was a bit of a trick, but Chen Mo didn't care about it. He only looked at the results of things like fighting.

"Your Majesty, those Jiangdong rats have gone too far in this battle!" Chen Mo returned to camp, and a group of water generals who were watching the battle gathered together, and they were all filled with righteous indignation. Chen Mo took action today, mainly to demonstrate to these water generals, but as for his defeat... to be honest

It's quite normal. The Jingzhou navy has been defeated by Zhou Yu's navy not once or twice, but anyone who knows a lot about water warfare can see that if Zhou Yu hadn't used the last trick and bypassed the middle gate to attack Chen Mo's main ship, he would have won this battle.

Unpredictable.

"A defeat is a defeat, and nothing can be overdone. Do you still want to imitate Song Xianggong and teach others etiquette on the battlefield?" Chen Mo waved his hand, handed his helmet to Dian Wei who was aside and said with a smile: "Defeat does not mean anything.

Shameful, there is no real victorious general in this world, but if you regard defeat as a habit, then consciously hand over your military power and go home to retire. You have also seen Zhou Yu's methods today, so try to avoid it next time, main ship

There should be guards around. Today, there are only six walking boats around the building. This is not enough. At least twelve are needed. When the enemy comes up in this way again, our army will not be helpless. In addition, there are those who fight underwater.

Soldiers, our army cannot do without this, Cai He."

"The general is here!" Cai He stepped forward quickly and bowed.

"You have been a general in Jingzhou for a long time, why don't we have people who can fight underwater in our army?" Chen Mo looked at Cai He and asked.

"Your Majesty, you don't know something. This underwater soldier was called a water ghost in Jiangdong. Not only is he proficient in water, but he is also very powerful. It is difficult for ordinary soldiers to do this, and he is not very useful." Cai He bowed quickly and said.

"Useless?" Chen Mo heard this and glanced at him and said: "In today's battle, at least ten of our army's boats were overturned by the water ghost, and one boat was also scuttled. This is called useless? How can we call it useless?

it works?"

"This... general is negligent, please punish me!" Cai He quickly bowed and said. After Cai Shi surrendered to Chen Mo, although he did not accept Cai Shi's friendly 'invitation', Cai He, as the former Jingzhou general, Chen Mo still stayed.

Not only does he understand water warfare, but more importantly, many of the Cai family's old members can be found and activated through Cai He. However, although these people have some skills, they are used to the atmosphere of Jingzhou in the past. During this period, Chen Mo

When rectifying the army, these are the people who are being rectified. As the recommender of these people, Cai He is naturally the focus of attention. There are some shortcomings that must be eliminated by Chen Mo.

"It's not enough to punish you, but please remember, this battlefield is ever-changing. Only by being adequately prepared can we deal with any crisis that may arise. We can do without water ghosts, but our army cannot do without them. Since you are familiar with these

Water Ghost, I will leave it to you to train a team of Water Ghosts within one month! Is there any problem?" Chen Mo looked at Cai He and said in a deep voice.

"General, take your order!" Cai He quickly bowed and accepted the order.

"In this battle, our army counterattacked with a smooth attack, but even without Zhou Yu's final blow, our army is not as good as you can see." Chen Mo looked at the generals and said: "If we really start a war at this time, what will happen to the people above the river?"

, our army has no chance of winning."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely train my soldiers more intensively. Next time we fight, we will never lose to Jiangdong!" several generals said quickly.

"I have trained the navy for more than ten years, how can you compare with your achievements in a few months?" Chen Mo shook his head, looked at the generals and said: "Everyone, look at the map!"

Everyone followed Chen Mo's instructions and looked at the map behind Chen Mo.

"I have heavy troops in Xiling, Jiangling, Anlu, Wulin, Matun, and Jianli. You will fight against Jiangdong's army in the future. If you lose, you will lead them ashore and retreat to these counties.

"Chen Mo pointed at six cities, looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "We can't win in a water battle. There is no need to use our own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths. Land warfare is our army's strength. On the river, they are powerful, but when we get to the shore, we

The army is invincible in the world, remember, try your best to save the lives of the soldiers. When the Jiangdong navy is defeated in the future, we will have to rely on these soldiers to cross the river!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" When the generals heard this, their eyes lit up and they worshiped hurriedly.

"Let's all go and rest." Chen Mo stood up and waved his hand.

"I will finally retire!"

Although Chen Mo's side was defeated, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed, but the atmosphere on Zhou Yu's side was a bit solemn.

"Commander, our army won today, why is the commander so frowning?" In the Jiangdong water village, Lu Meng looked at Zhou Yu, who was frowning, and asked strangely.

"Although we won today, it was a small victory, but Chen Mo's proficiency in navy warfare is worrying!" Zhou Yu frowned. It was natural for Zhou Yu to defeat Chen Mo on the river, but

Chen Mo's command of the navy did not look like a novice at all. On the contrary, he was quite experienced. He advanced and retreated well-founded and made decisions when necessary. There was no sloppiness at all. If the two armies were to fight today, Jiangdong would be able to win, but it would definitely not be easy. A water battle would not be easy.
