"To report to my lord, Wang Mang's navy did not come to return, but turned around and headed north."
"What? Wang Mang still dares to go back to find Liu Che?"
Zhu Tianpeng looked surprised. He did not think about Wang Mang going to Sanhan, but that the character Wang Mang might have gone to see Liu Che again.
Wu Yong's guess was actually correct. Song Yu had indeed contacted Zhu Tianpeng, and Song Yu's rebellion had Zhu Tianpeng's tacit approval.
Qi State lost a total of nearly 50,000 elites in this battle, and only 5,000 of the 10,000 elite naval forces were defeated. Therefore, Wang Mang's 5,000 naval forces were also an excellent complement to Qi State's naval forces.
Zhu Tianpeng not only wanted to seize power, but also planned to kill Wang Mang to vent his anger. It was Wang Mang's credit for letting Qi fall into the trap. Of course, the most important thing was his fear of Wang Mang, so he decided to kill Wang Mang to rid the world of harm.
Intend.
Zhu Tianpeng originally planned to deal with it casually after returning to Qi State, but what he didn't expect was that Song Yu had thoughts of rebellion and took the initiative to contact him.
After Song Yu told him that his rebellion was 100% successful, Zhu Tianpeng thought that Song Yu was also a wise and courageous person. He must be extremely cautious about rebellion, and the possibility of success was extremely high. In addition, if he took action
He didn't want to do it himself, so he acquiesced to Song Yu to get rid of Wang Mang.
But what Zhu Tianpeng never expected was that Song Yu was just a cannon. He was under Zhu Tianpeng's control from beginning to end, and was eventually drained of the last bit of value before being buried in the sea.
Song Yu's failure also made Wang Mang wary of Zhu Tianpeng, and naturally he did not dare to go to Qi easily again.
"That's all, Wang Mang is lucky." Zhu Tianpeng said helplessly.
At this point, Wang Mang's army has also fled. It is impossible for Zhu Tianpeng to lead the army to catch up, right?
"Send the order and the whole army will return."
"promise."
On the vast sea, a fleet traveled back and forth from north to south. There were ten thousand sailors when they came, but only five thousand were left when they returned.
As long as Zhu Tianpeng has Tianshui, no matter how big the wind or waves are, he can't do anything about it, so the journey is naturally calm. However, when the fleet approaches the mouth of the Yellow River, another fleet has been waiting for a long time.
"I've been waiting for so long, but it's finally here."
Zhou Yu, who was showing off the bow of the main ship, calmly collected the telescope and ordered with a faint smile: "Send the order, the warship Yang Fan, come up to meet us."
"promise."
[Zhou Yu’s skill ‘Water God’ is activated...]
[Water God: God of water, this is Zhou Yu’s unique skill.
Effect 1: During water warfare, the commander is 3, and the military force of the entire army increases by 1 point, and the overall quality is greatly improved.
Effect 2: When fighting on land, the commander is 1, the force is 4, and the overall quality of the entire army is partially improved.
Effect 3. After this effect is activated, you will be blessed by the water god. If you want wind, you will get wind, and if you want rain, you will get rain. (Note: This effect can only be activated once a year.)]
[Zhou Yu’s skill ‘Water God’ is activated with effect 1, and during water battles, the commander is 3, and the military strength of the entire army increases by 1 point, and the overall quality is greatly improved.
Currently, Zhou Yu's commander-in-chief has risen to 102 and his force has risen to 96. The overall quality of the Qin army's navy has been greatly improved.】
After Zhou Yu received Bai Qi's guidance, although he did not break through as a commander in the fifth dimension, he reached the peak early and there is still room for further improvement.
Zhu Tianpeng's face on the other side was not as good as Zhou Yu's. His plan to retreat from the sea was perfect. After all, he had only proposed the concept of naval battle not long ago, but his move was expected by Li Jing, and
They sent troops in advance to block them at the mouth of the Yellow River.
The turbulent sea is vast and boundless. If Zhu Tianpeng really wanted to escape and take a detour alive, Zhou Yu would not be able to stop him, but Zhu Tianpeng was unwilling to just run away.
"Come forward, I will teach you Zhou Yu's water, no, sea battle skills today."
After saying this, Zhu Tianpeng immediately ordered: "Come up and greet us."
"promise."
[The effect of Zhu Tianpeng’s skill ‘Tian Shui’ is activated at 1, the commander is at 4, and the current commander is raised to 100.]
Although Zhu Tianpeng's "Tian Shui"'s command increase is 1 point higher than Zhou Yu's "Water God", his basic command is three points lower than Zhou Yu's, so in the end his command is still 2 points lower than Zhou Yu's.
Commander 100 Zhu Tianpeng VS Commander 102 Zhou Yu, the first naval battle in Chinese history has officially begun.
Boom...boom...boom...
Both fleets sounded the loud beat of drums.
The Qin army's Yellow River naval force had 80,000 men, while the Qi army had only 5,000 men.
Although the total number of the Qin army was greater than that of the Qi army, the battle in water warfare was not about the number of people, but about the warships and command level.
The Qin army had many more warships than the Qi army, and it would be more laborious to command them. This was why Zhu Tianpeng had the confidence to dare to go to war.
But what Zhu Tianpeng didn't expect was that so many warships were driven by Zhou Yu's command without even a single mistake.
"Sure enough, there are two brushes." Zhu Tianpeng praised.
In the first decisive battle, when Zhou Yu intercepted Qi's navy, the general in charge was Pang Shigu, not Zhu Tianpeng, so the two had never fought before, but this time it was a real point-to-point confrontation.
bump.
"But relying on these alone is not enough to win."
Zhu Tianpeng's face was full of confidence, and he shouted and ordered: "The rocket is ready."
At the same time, Zhou Yu showed a smile as if his conspiracy had succeeded, and ordered: "Come forward on the catapult, prepare to start throwing stones."
The archers on the Qi navy's warships had not even fired their rockets. Then they saw a shocking scene. The Qin army's warships were actually equipped with catapults.
Under the volley of hundreds of stones, several warships at the front were smashed with holes, and the Qi army suffered heavy losses.
"Slingshot? How is this possible?"
Zhu Tianpeng looked in disbelief. During the last war, the Qin army did not use catapults, but now they did.
In such a short period of time, the Qin Army's shipbuilding was timely and if new innovations could not occur, there was only one possibility. The Qin Army had hidden its true strength.
The catapults on the Qin army's warships were so sharp that they were an epoch-making weapon for water warfare. Once a wooden sailing ship was hit, the ship would be destroyed and people would fall into the water.
Among the Qi navy, there was no way to fight against the catapults, so Zhu Tianpeng decisively gave in and shouted: "Retreat, the whole army retreats."
Zhou Yu did not expect that Zhu Tianpeng would be so decisive and chose to retreat without even putting up a desperate fight.
The Qi army wanted to run away, but the Qin army would not remain indifferent. They followed closely with a barrage of hits, sinking a third of the enemy's warships, and then allowed the enemy to escape out of its range.
"Lord, the Qin army has been following behind. What should we do if we can't get rid of it?"
After hearing this, Zhu Tianpeng glanced at the Qin fleet in the distance, gritted his teeth and said: "Retreat to the depths of the sea, I don't believe Zhou Yu dares to pursue us."
The deeper you go into the sea, the stronger the wind and waves become, and the greater the risk factor for ship navigation.
Among the three effects of Zhou Yu’s ‘Water God’, there is no unimpeded effect of ‘Tian Shui’.
Seeing that the wind and waves on the sea were getting bigger and bigger, the difficulty of pursuit also skyrocketed. If he continued to chase like this, not to mention destroying the Qi army, he was afraid that he himself would be buried in the sea, so Zhou Yu decisively ordered the entire army to return to sea, and the remaining Qi naval forces were saved.
