Chapter 980 Governor Cao Xiu

Chaisang.

"How many troops are there in the navy that have been trained now?" Cao Xiu asked the people next to him.

"Cao Annan, there are already 20,000 naval troops in Chaisang Water Village now. However, these 20,000 people are newly trained. I am afraid they lack combat power and cannot attack casually." Zhu Ju on the side said in a low voice.

"You have to fight even if you can't, otherwise my uncle will be trapped to death!" Cao Xiu said dissatisfied.

Zhu Zhi later became a famous general in Soochow, so he was also familiar with the art of war. He suggested: "Cao Annan, the Xiliang Navy has been besieging Jiangxia City for seven or eight days, but they have not been able to capture it yet. I am afraid they are using encirclement points to bring reinforcements." idea."

Cao Xiu snorted: "Why don't I know that the enemy wants to encircle the point for reinforcements? The enemy's patience is also limited. If they cannot attract our troops, then they will not be encircling the point for reinforcements, but actually attacking the city!"

In the later period, Cao Xiu was defeated by Soochow in the Battle of Shiting, which was humiliating. However, in fact, Cao Xiu was quite capable as a general of the Cao Wei clan. When Liu Bei pacified Bashu, Cao Cao sent Cao Hong to attack Xiabian. In fact, he secretly warned Cao Hong that Cao Xiu was the leader. Under Cao Xiu's plan, he killed Wu Lan and forced Zhang Fei to retreat, which shows his strategy.

"But our army is not as powerful as the Xiliang Navy, and they are all new soldiers. How can we compete with the enemy?" Zhu Ju frowned.

Cao Xiu sneered and said: "Our army is not fighting to the death with the enemy, but to support our uncle. We just need to make some fuss about it."

Wei Yan stood on the bow of the boat bored, glanced to the side inadvertently, and suddenly became energetic.

"Go and inform and wait."

Initially, Cao Jun's reinforcements were thought to be arriving, but Wei Yan took a closer look and found that the enemy troops were only a dozen large or small ships, with only a few hundred men.

"With such a small number of people, why bother the Governor?"

Wei Yan snorted coldly, waved his hand and said, "Follow me and stop these enemy troops!"

Dozens of warships around Wei Yan immediately rushed forward, preparing to intercept Cao's army.

"We stopped the enemy, you guys rush forward, and you must pass the news to Cao Zhennan no matter what, you know?"

"Here!"

Although Wei Yan was not from the south, he had been serving in the Jingzhou Navy for many years, so he naturally had some experience in naval operations. He immediately dispersed his more than 20 warships in a "V" shape. opened, vaguely surrounding all Cao's troops.

However, these Cao soldiers showed no fear and rushed forward like a group of sharks.

"Fire the arrow!"

Whoosh whoosh!

"Come aboard!"

These warships of Cao's army were extremely fierce, and they collided head-on. A Xiliang walking boat was caught off guard and was knocked open.

The front end of the warship has a ramming horn, in order to ram into the enemy warship extremely quickly. The officers and soldiers of Cao's army on the ship were all dead soldiers who regarded death as home. These people were naturally not afraid of death when fighting, and the Xiliang Navy was in chaos.

At this time, a stern warship saw the right opportunity and broke out of the gap between the Xiliang warships in an instant, riding the wind and waves in the direction of Jiangxia City.

"General, an enemy warship slipped away!"

Wei Yan said angrily: "Quickly separate two warships and chase them. We must stop the enemy!"

The warships beside Wei Yan immediately separated into two and chased after Cao Jun's warship.

Wei Yan led the rest of the warships to fight against these Cao army warships.

Although the two Xiliang battleships rushed forward, their speed was always slower and they were still unable to catch up with the 艉艉 battleship in front. This is because this stern battleship has been specially modified before and many unnecessary devices have been abandoned. Therefore, the armor is greatly reduced, but the speed has been increased.

I saw this Cao Jun warship speeding towards Jiangxia City. When the Xiliang Navy stationed next to Jiangxia saw this, they naturally hurriedly sent warships to intercept it. However, the Cao Jun warship was really fast, so The Xiliang warships could only follow behind the Cao army's warships and could not catch up.

In this way, Cao Jun's warship quickly broke through the encirclement of Xiliang Navy, and finally rushed all the way to Jiangxia City.

"Shoot the envelope in quickly."

"Um!"

On top of the boat, a Cao soldier grabbed his bow and arrow and picked up an arrow, but a letter passed through it. Cao's soldiers drew their bows and nocked arrows, aimed at the top of the city and shot up.

Whoosh!

"Cum up."

"Well, prepare to fight to the death!"

After such a delay, Xiliang Navy's warships immediately acted like a big net, surrounding Cao's warships from all directions.

Unexpectedly, this Cao Jun warship was not afraid at all when faced with the huge number of Xiliang warships. Instead, it took the initiative to attack the strong with the weak.

"kill!"

This Cao Jun ship brazenly launched an attack on the massive Xiliang Navy, which stunned the Xiliang Navy for a moment.

"You really don't know how to live or die."

"Charge forward and sink them!"

A fighting ship of the Xiliang Army rushed forward directly. The sailors on the ship opened the sails and increased the ship's speed to the maximum. Like a giant water beast, it crushed directly towards Cao's army.

boom!

The warship is just a central warship, while the fighting ship is a large warship that can carry nearly a thousand people, which is second only to the tower ship.

When the fighting ship hit it, it was a complete crushing. Cao Jun's ship was smashed on the spot, and the hull was in pieces. Cao Jun had no support, so he naturally fell off the boat and fell into the water. However, although these Cao Jun were from the north, People, after training, are also proficient in water, and they swim in the water one after another.

"Go catch them and ask them what happened in that letter." Zhu Huan ordered. He just saw Cao Jun shoot an arrow into Jiangxia City. There must be something on it and he must ask it.

On top of many Xiliang warships, thousands of Xiliang sailors jumped down and jumped into the water.

Plop!

The Xiliang sailors rushed forward with water-dividing daggers and started a fierce battle with Cao Jun. Naturally, these dead soldiers of Cao Jun were not afraid. They picked up their swords and fought with the Xiliang sailors. They fought with the Xiliang soldiers risklessly. in one place.

The Xiliang sailors wanted to capture these dead soldiers of Cao's army and force them to reveal the secrets in the letter, but these Cao soldiers were not afraid of death. After killing some Xiliang soldiers, once they lost strength, they committed suicide by necking.

After a while, blood red suddenly appeared on the water, and Cao Jun's body floated.

"Captain, all of these Cao soldiers are dead, no one can be caught alive."

A captain of the Xiliang Army was floating in the water and shouted to Zhu Huan.

"Damn it, what did these Cao soldiers shoot into Jiangxia City?" Zhu Huan frowned.
