What the two of them never imagined was that Liu Rui was still sensible at such a time, and even took the opportunity to lure Cao Jun's fireboat to attack.

"Captain, what should we do now?" The lieutenant next to him asked involuntarily as the situation on the field gradually tilted towards Liu Rui's army.

Zhou Yu sighed helplessly, and then sighed, "Let them all withdraw for me, and withdraw as much as they can!"

Zhou Yu's order was quickly conveyed to the front.And most of the Cao Jun warships in awkward positions turned around one after another, preparing to return.

There are only a few, who rushed too hard at the beginning, and now there is absolutely no possibility of returning, and even a few have ignited a raging fire, and the entire warship has completely lost control!

It is precisely because of this that this small part of Cao Jun's warships are still madly rushing towards Liu Rui's army, wanting to rush into Liu Rui's army, and want to pull a back before dying.

It's just that Liu Rui's army has begun to retreat slowly. At the same time, the flame catapults are still frantically attacking those Cao Jun warships that are about to turn around. For a time, the entire sky is covered by the smoke from the flame catapults. shrouded.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! The fire on our ship can no longer be controlled!" The militiamen on Cao Jun's warship shouted frantically, jumping into the river one after another.

On the dozens of Cao Jun warships, fires were lit everywhere.

On the rocks that Liu Rui's flame catapult erupted, thick kerosene was poured, and once it was contaminated, it would be difficult to extinguish.In addition, there were many stones that directly broke the deck of Cao's warship and brought the flames into the interior of Cao's warship, which made the opponent even more helpless.

And these warships are also in the fierce flames, and gradually lose control. There are several fireboats, because the fire is too big, and they are drifting along the river, they unexpectedly encounter the Cao Jun warship next to them. .

You must know that these warships are turning around. It is the slowest time. In addition, these warships themselves have a lot of fire that is out of control. Now that these warships collide, they are caught by the violent fire. engulf.

By the time Cao Jun's warships withdrew from the range of the flame catapults covered in bruises, nearly twenty warships had been damaged.

This number also makes Zhou Yu feel distressed, but now that Liu Rui's army is back in the water village, Zhou Yu has no choice.

"Liu Haosheng, wait for me, sooner or later I will wipe out your entire army!" Zhou Yu, who gritted his teeth, could only throw a ruthless sentence. This was a bleak retreat.

This time, Liu Rui made Cao Cao pay the price of [-] warships, and his own losses were negligible. Based on this alone, Liu Rui had already leveled the loss last time, but now he wants to wipe out Cao Cao completely. With Sun Ce's navy, it still needs to wait until the fire extinguisher is installed before it can be completed.

However, this time the battle also made Zhou Yu, Cao Cao and others understand that even if they had fireboats, it would be even more difficult to completely destroy Liu Rui's army.

At this moment, Zhou Yu looked at Cao Cao, Sun Ce and the others in front of him with an embarrassed expression, and carefully recounted today's war.

After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Cao Cao next to him couldn't help but feel a pain in the flesh. Although his fireboats forced the militia to die, the militia in his hands was not endless, but Cao Cao also understood. Even if it is replaced by him, I am afraid it will be the same end.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Gong Jin, what happened today is not your fault. It is because many of my Cao army generals did not obey orders, otherwise, this situation would not have happened!"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "Meng Degong, Zhou Yu is guilty, there is no need to shirk. Now that Liu Rui is hiding in the water village, we have nothing to do with him. If we want to defeat Liu Rui, it seems that we still have to find a way to bring him back from the water. It's better to force it out of the water village!"

"That's right! Gong Jin's words are very true, but Liu Rui didn't succeed in such a ruthless and aggressive approach today. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to let him out in the future!" Sun Ce next to him He couldn't help frowning.

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Bofu don't have to worry, it's not impossible! When I came here, Wen He specially explained to me that if Liu Rui doesn't fight, we will make a request. The attitude of the water army to attack the army with all its strength is a conspiracy, so Liu Rui will never ignore it!"

"Exactly!" Zhou Yu also nodded heavily, and then said: "On the way back, I also kept thinking that if I want to force Liu Rui out, that's all I can do, but if Liu Rui refuses to come out. If we have a decisive battle with our navy, then we will deal with Liu Rui's army first, and then we will see how Liu Rui responds!"

Zhou Yu and Cao Cao's words made Sun Ce agree again and again, and the three discussed it again, and finally decided on the whole plan.

When Zhou Yu set out to challenge Liu Rui before, Sun Ce and Cao Cao had already entered the army in Jiangbei and wanted to start a land war against Liu Rui.

It's just because of Zhou Yu's failure this time that the two of them turned around again. After the strategy discussion was over, the entire Cao Jun and Jiang Dong's navy began to get busy again.

Only this time, it was not aimed at Liu Rui, but was constantly mobilizing on the river surface. From the looks of it, it seemed that the army was preparing to attack Liu Rui.

The news of the navy was also quickly passed on to Li Jing. Now Li Jing, the [-]-strong army of the orthodox commander confronted Cao Cao's army in Jiangbei. After receiving the news, Li Jing even summoned many generals. Negotiated in the account.

"Everyone, some time ago, Cao Mengde forced the Qingzhou militiamen to launch suicide attacks on the waterway, causing the lord's navy to lose a lot of brothers and warships. Now the lord has found a solution, but it will only take a few days. It's time to prepare!" Li Jing glanced at the many generals, and then said solemnly: "Now that Cao Mengde and Sun Bofu are acting like they are going to attack us, I think they are preparing to force the lord's navy to fight against him, but I have already sent joy to the lord, so that the lord must not be fooled, so in the next period of time, we need to resist the pressure!"

966: The Great Army Confrontation

As soon as Li Jing's words fell, Li Cunxiao next to him smiled and said, "Why should Li Shuai worry about this, his army of Cao Mengde is just a group of chickens and dogs, and the reason why we stay put is not to cooperate with the lord's side. Action, to be honest, I, Li Cunxiao, couldn't bear it for a long time, if Cao Mengde came over, he just chopped off his dog's head and went to the lord to receive the reward!"

Li Cunxiao's words made those present and many generals couldn't help laughing out loud.

This sentence may sound arrogant, but since Liu Rui started his army until now, the number of failures can be counted on the fingers, and it is precisely because of this that Liu Rui's army is invincible.

And Li Cunxiao's words also aroused the arrogance of many generals in the field.

"Li Shuai, don't care how many people Cao Mengde and Sun Bofu have, as long as you give an order, our army will directly crush it and let them know what cavalry is and what is infantry!" Li Ruohai on the side was also He opened his mouth with a smile.

Glancing at Li Cunxiao and Li Ruohai, Li Jing laughed and said, "Yes, during the last war, their soldiers and horses were damaged a lot, and now they can't use absolute numbers to suppress us again. Well, this time, let's let them have a good insight into our power!"

Hearing Li Jing's words, all the generals couldn't help but applaud loudly.

And Li Jing also glanced at the crowd again and shouted, "Where is Li Cunxiao?"

Li Cunxiao strode out of the queue and said with a smile, "The last will be here!"

"Let you lead [-] soldiers and horses as the left wing, and set off immediately!" Li Jing took out a military talisman and handed it to Li Cunxiao.

On the other hand, Li Cunxiao respectfully took over the military talisman, and then laughed loudly: "Don't worry, Li Shuai, he will definitely live up to his mission at the end!"

Li Jing nodded heavily, then looked at Li Ruohai next to him, and said, "Li Ruohai, I order you to lead [-] soldiers and horses for the right wing, and set off immediately!"

Li Ruohai handed over and said solemnly, "I will obey at the end!"

The two led their generals to leave, while Li Jing looked at the remaining generals and said with a smile: "Everyone, our remaining [-] horses are the central army, and immediately pull out the camp to meet Cao Cao and Sun Ce!"

All the generals clapped their hands in unison: "The general will obey!"

Following Li Jing's order, an army of [-] people rushed into action and rushed towards Cao Cao's army.

On the other side, Cao Cao's army also began to attack suddenly. In the last war, half of Cao Cao's army was defeated. Even if they gathered up a lot of defeated soldiers, their current strength is only higher than that of Li Jing's soldiers. More than tens of thousands of people came.

It's just that Zhou Yu's navy is still at the side to support him. As a result, the total number of Cao's troops far exceeds that of Li Jing's army.

And Liu Rui's navy, as Li Jing said, did not go to war, but this does not mean that Liu Rui's navy was idle. Under Liu Rui's suggestion, Master Lu Ban has already put the production line of the warship fire extinguishing device into operation. Moved to the naval camp.
