Although Zhou Yu was prepared in his heart, Zhou Yu still hadn't thought that the weapons of Cao Wei Navy could be so powerful and terrifying!
At this time, many subordinates began to persuade him Zhou Yu to leave quickly, but at this time Zhou Yu was already stunned by the powerful Cao Wei.
And at the moment when Zhou Yu was stunned, Cao Wei's navy fired several shells at the boat again, and then the boat was hit twice again.
After the cannonball touched the building ship, it directly caused water to splash, and then you could see the wood fragments flying horizontally. The building ship was severely damaged, and there was a feeling that it was about to become crumbling.
Chapter 567
Now Zhou Yu has no right to choose, and now he has no means, because everything he has prepared has been defeated.
Under such circumstances, he no longer had the strength to fight against Cao Wei, so under such circumstances, he, Zhou Yu, also chose to order a retreat afterwards.
Although the ship was attacked by shells, it didn't mean it would sink directly, so after Zhou Yu gave the order to retreat, other ships came to meet him.
Zhou Yu transferred to a safe ship before the ship sank to the bottom.
The main building ships of the Jingzhou Soochow Navy were sunk by the Cao Wei Navy. For the Jingzhou Soochow Navy, this situation was really shocking and frightening.
This is equivalent to the fact that one's own general was directly taken down on the battlefield. At this time, the morale of Soochow in Jingzhou disappeared like a deflated ball.
Morale is really strange. When there is morale, defeat can be turned into victory, but without morale, even if there are some advantages, the defeat will be a complete mess.
Now the Soochow Navy in Jingzhou is facing a situation where they have no morale and no advantage, so under such circumstances, all they can do is run away.
Apart from escaping from here, Jingzhou Soochow Navy has no other way at all.
This time, the battle between the Cao Wei Navy and the Jingzhou Soochow Navy was very fast. Not counting the time of the confrontation, there was also the time for the formation of troops. to an hour.
Under such circumstances, the Jingzhou Soochow Navy couldn't hold it anymore. In less than an hour, the Jingzhou Soochow Navy, which was once known as the overlord of the water, could only end up retreating now!
For Soochow in Jingzhou, this situation is indeed a bit shocking.
After Zhuge Liang saw the withdrawal of Soochow troops in Jingzhou, he also issued an order for such a situation immediately.
Zhuge Liang received the news that after Zhou Yu wanted to withdraw his troops, he directly ordered to his subordinates: "Order the other four fleets to keep the distance and catch up with full speed!"
"Last time he escaped by chance, now this time he can't be allowed to escape again!"
After Zhuge Liang gave such an order, Cao Wei's navy responded very quickly, and quickly rushed up with full horsepower for such a situation.
Now the situation of this double issue has not changed much. The Cao Wei Navy is still in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, while the Jingzhou Soochow Navy is in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Because of that spring, there are a lot of rainy seasons now, and the east wind is now, so this situation is very difficult for the Jingzhou Soochow Navy who wants to escape now.
If the Soochow Navy in Jingzhou launches an attack, this east wind can provide them with a lot of motivation.
However, now the Soochow Navy in Jingzhou wants to escape. In this way, the direction of their escape is the direction against the wind.
Going upstream, such a situation is very unfavorable to the situation of the Soochow Navy in Jingzhou.
Because, the Soochow Navy in Jingzhou still uses sailboats, and the main source of power is those that rely on wind or human rowing.
Once the wind is headed, power such as wind power will be useless, and the manpower will be greatly reduced.
Under such circumstances, how could the Soochow Navy in Jingzhou at this time escape the Cao Wei Navy with steam ships?
Such a situation is simply impossible.
This battle can be said to be very fierce. It can be seen from the debris floating on this river that this battle was very fierce.
From midnight until dawn, under such circumstances, the wreckage of the ship was covered for dozens of miles on the river, and floating corpses could be seen everywhere from the river.
Victory is cruel and frightening, but in order to unify the entire China, such a situation is necessary, and it must be done.
In this battle, more than half of the Jingzhou Soochow Navy lost more than half. This situation can be said to be a fatal blow to Jingzhou Soochow. Their proud combat power has been severely damaged. Very bad thing.
Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Jingzhou Soochow Navy were sunk into the bottom of the river by the artillery bombardment. Naturally, all the warships also sank into the bottom of the river.
The fact that such a situation is true is a bit shocking, and it is difficult to look directly at it.
That's horrible!
After Zhuge Liang's side reorganized the army, they also discovered that after such a complete victory, the battle damage of the Cao Wei Navy was not optimistic.
Because, after the battle damage data of the Cao Wei Navy came out, those damaged warships actually accounted for one-third of the entire Cao Wei Navy force!
Such a situation is a very bad thing for the Cao Wei naval forces.
Of course, although the data is very bad, all those damaged in the battle are traditional ships, and the Cao Wei Navy, whose main combat force is steam ships, did not suffer much damage.
For the Cao Wei navy, this situation was a bit shocking, and such news directly shocked the opponents Jingzhou and Soochow.
Judging from the damaged warships of the Cao Wei navy, the plans that Zhou Yu formulated at the beginning are still very effective. Those relatively fragile, traditional warships are in Jingzhou, East Under Wu Navy's attack, he still couldn't bear it.
If the Cao Wei navy did not invest in powerful steam ships, it is really unknown whether the Cao Wei navy can win today's battle.
Such a situation is something that the soldiers of the Cao Wei navy are very proud of, but for those Jingzhou and Soochow navy, this is completely a nightmare!
In addition to the damage to the traditional warships, the remaining steam battleships also suffered some damage, but such damage was not fatal, or even minimal.
Those powerful ships of the Holy King took the lead in charging, and ran rampant among the many ships of the Soochow Navy in Jingzhou. Even under such circumstances, the Holy King of the Cao Wei Navy only suffered some minor damage.
The steam Mengchong battleship that followed behind the Holy King suffered much more damage than the Holy King, but all the situations were within the controllable range.
This situation was quickly understood after Cao Wei sorted out the data.
For this battle, Cao Wei won a huge victory, while the Soochow troops in Jingzhou suffered very serious trauma, and such trauma is irreversible!
It can be said that Soochow in Jingzhou, the most important thing is Soochow, which was completely defeated!
Chapter 568
Taking advantage of this advantage, taking advantage of the prestige above the river, taking advantage of this momentum, Cao Ang led the troops to attack Jiangxia County smoothly.
In the process of walking along the way, in various places in the entire county, those forces that originally wanted to resist Cao Wei all surrendered one by one.
There is no way, the navy they are proud of has failed, and their morale is plummeting now. Facing such a ferocious, crazy Cao Jun with high morale, how can they have any capital to fight against?
There is no way, it is impossible to fight, and the result of resistance is a dead end. In such a situation, for those soldiers who are unable to resist, it is better to surrender, and it is better to try the last chance to survive.
Not long after that, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong joined the Prime Minister Cao Ang.
For such a situation, for such a war, Cao Ang was very satisfied, and Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong had a good grasp of this fighter and the battle situation, which made Cao Ang very satisfied.
"Not bad, not bad, you two did a very good job this time!"
"After such a battle, Jingzhou no longer has the ability to compete with us!"
