Indeed, the people in Jingchu were not very knowledgeable about military affairs. When they heard that Huang Zhong's fleet was rubbish, they couldn't wait to use their own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.
But they forgot the more important strategic significance. That is to block Huang Zhong's attack, defend our own fortifications and cities, and give Sun Ce and Cao Ren a chance to conquer Xinye.
They won without a fight. But they were eager to eliminate Huang Zhong and sent an even more pustious Zhang Yun to attack. Isn't this a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?[
Compared with this, the group of people in Jingchu were much more frustrated than Sun Ce. Sun Ce was the real strategist. He paid attention to cooperation and had the ultimate goal of destroying Lu Su.
Similarly, Zhang Yun never expected that such fire attacks could be used in water battles. Countless ships were burning, exuding thick flames, all over the Xiangjiang River, and charging toward them.
Like a ferocious beast, menacing.
As Huang Zhong said, if Zhang Yun had the courage at this time, he should place the tower boat across the center of the river to block the attack of the fire boat.
Anyway, the sailors are all water-savvy and can be rescued by jumping off the ship. In this way, the loss is actually not big. Two building ships are enough.
But Zhang Yun didn't have that kind of courage or the ability to adapt. After seeing this, his first reaction was to run away.
And he also ordered it.
The U-turn of the warship is actually quite fast. Because the front and stern of the warship are the same, as long as the relevant soldiers row the oars in the opposite direction, it will go directly backwards.
However, Zhang Yun's standard warships became the most tired at this time, too big, too heavy, and could not move fast. On the contrary, most of Huang Zhong's fireships were made of fishermen's boats.
The boat has a narrow hull and is very light. It can move very fast.
Soon, a sea of fire caught up with Zhang Yun who fled in a hurry.
"Ah." Looking at the approaching disaster, Zhang Yun let out a scream, as if he was in a nightmare.
"Crash." Soon after, a large number of fire ships collided with Zhang Yun's building ship. Some fire ships even drifted down in the gaps between the ships and began to surround the entire Jingchu fleet.
All of a sudden, Zhang Yun's menacing army was surrounded by blazing fire.
In fact, at this time, the fire ship cannot completely burn the warship. After all, there is no gasoline or anything like that, so it is really impossible to make the warship burn.
But the entire Jingchu army, under the command of Zhang Yun, once again enveloped the entire Jingchu army with the momentum of the weak army.
Facing the fire ships around them, they were in a panic.
"Bang bang bang."
"Ah, ah, ah."[
With the collision, they let out screams one after another. The overwhelmed people even jumped off the warship with a pop to avoid the surrounding fire.
At first, there were only a small number of soldiers, but in the end, countless soldiers began to jump into the river, planning to escape.
The scene was extremely chaotic and almost uncontrollable.
"Ah." Looking at this scene, Zhang Yun raised his head and let out a scream. How could this happen? How could this happen? How could they have so many warships and such awesome ships defeated by such a broken fleet?
