"Throw!" Countless giant arrows fell from the sky. Liu Bei was really in bad luck this time.
If he can still resist on land, he can also ask his subordinates to help him resist the enemy.
But now this is above the water. They are just small boats. These are ferries used to ferry people on both sides of the Yangtze River.
How can we stop the warship in the water?
What¡¯s more, the current Yangzhou navy can be regarded as the most elite navy in the entire world.
It doesn¡¯t engage you in battle at all, but directly throws countless giant arrows.
It felt good all of a sudden. I was beaten and I didn¡¯t even have the chance to fight back.
"Boom, boom!" This was the roar made by the ferry being directly penetrated by the giant crossbow arrow.
"Ahhhhhh" countless screams accompanied it.
"Puff puff!" Blood splashed among the crowd.
Liu Bei was not given a chance at all.
After several rounds of volleys, soon there were no traces of ships on the river, and all that was left were the ruins of a few ships.
The bodies that fell into the water floated on the river.
Over there, Dove also boarded the warship with the help of the Yangzhou navy on Galen's ship.
"But Lord Dove!" A Yangzhou navy general came out and asked Dove.
"It's me, I wonder who this general is?" Dove asked, looking at the young general in front of her.
"This is Lu Xun!" the young general Lu Xun said to Dove.
"Governor Lu!" Dove hurriedly stepped forward and returned the greeting. This man was none other than Lu Xun, the commander of the Yangzhou Inland Navy.
On the bank of the Yangtze River, there was a Yangtze River naval camp. Sun Ce was the commander-in-chief and supervised everything. Zhou Yu assisted Sun Ce as the army's military advisor, and Lu Xun was the commander-in-chief of the navy.
"Master Dove, are Liu Bei and others really on board this ship?" Lu Xun asked anxiously to Dove over there.
"It's absolutely true, I am accompanying the master, no. I am accompanying Liu Da'er on the boat!" Dove nodded to confirm.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Lu Xun couldn't help laughing. "As long as this version can defeat Liu Bei, Lord Dove. You are the first to do it!"
This Dove can be regarded as one of his own. Lu Xun doesn't have much feelings for Liu Bei, but he knows that this is a big enemy of his lord.
Only by killing Liu Bei can we capture Jingzhou.
"How dare Dove take credit? These are all the work of the warlord!" Dove said modestly.
"Hey! Lord Dove. We, the Yangzhou Army, don't believe this. The credit is yours. If you hadn't sent someone to report the news to the navy camp, I wouldn't have been able to bring the ship here!" This is solved! Although Liu Bei was a great contributor, to Lu Xun, it was just better than nothing.
His current boss is Sun Ce. If he is promoted again, will he be in Sun Ce¡¯s position?
Not to mention whether the lord will give in, even if the lord gives in, he, Lu Xun, doesn¡¯t want this position. His ideal, Lu Xun, is the vast ocean. Instead of the inland rivers, the army was not where Lu Xun wanted to stay after all.
The reason why Lu Xun is happy is because his lord Liu Mang once said that as long as Jingzhou is captured, Lu Xun can leave the Yangtze River Navy Camp and go to Guangling to join the Han Navy.
"Come here, let me go into the water to search for Liu Bei and others. I want to see the people alive, but I want to see the bodies even if I die!" When the boat over there had sunk, Lu Xun immediately asked the water ghost to go into the water to look for people.
"yes!"
"Plop. Plop!" Countless sailors jumped into the Yangtze River, swimming like dragons one by one in the river.
Corpses were fished out one after another, and naturally there were still living people among them.
As long as they could be saved, everyone came up and controlled them. On the other side are those corpses.
Lu Xun and Dove talked for a while.
Naturally, someone over there came to report. "Report, all Liu Bei's soldiers who fell into the water have been salvaged! Just!" the captain said hesitantly.
"Just what?" Lu Xun frowned, subconsciously having a bad premonition.
¡°It¡¯s just that Liu Bei¡¯s body has never been found!¡±
"There is no body of Liu Bei? Is he still alive?"
"I haven't found it yet!"
"Take me there!" Lu Xun said with a frown.
"Yes!" Soon someone took Lu Xun to the back of the deck, where the bodies were placed.
?????????????????The corpses of all Liu Bei's personal guards were lying there, a hundred elites, and only three survived in the end.
The rest either drowned. Or he would be shot directly through the bed crossbow.
Most of the corpses are not complete and are too horrific to look at.
Lu Xun didn¡¯t care at all and looked at them one by one.
"Master Dove, how much do you remember about Liu Bei?" Lu Xun had never met Liu Bei, but there was one person he was familiar with, and that was Dove.
"I know everyone who turns into ashes!" Dove has stayed with Liu Bei for a long time.
"This is going to trouble you, sir!" Lu Xun pointed at the pile of corpses over there and said to Dove.
Dove nodded and stepped forward.
After choosing for a while, I was shaking my head, and suddenly I said "Tear it apart!"
"What's wrong, Lord Dove!"
"This corpse belongs to Liao Hua!" Dove pointed to the corpse over there with half of its head missing and said to Lu Xun.
"Liao Hua? But that Liao Hua who was born in the Yellow Turban Army and later followed Liu Bei and became the commander of the first army?" Lu Xun was the governor of the Yangtze River Navy Camp, so he naturally knew the information.
"Exactly!" Dove nodded. How could Liao Hua say that he was also Liu Bei's confidant and the lieutenant general who commanded the first army, but now he died horribly.
The whole head is gone, and the entire eye socket is cracked.
The top of his chest also collapsed, enough to see the horror before his death.
A total of three giant crossbow arrows hit him, and Liao Hua's luck was also a bit bad.
"Rest in peace! Who asked you to choose such a master!" Dove shook her head and said to Liao Hua's body.
Zhang Yun wanted to do everything possible to kill Liao Hua, but he never expected that he would die on the Yangtze River. Liao Hua's death was not unjust. If Guan Yu had not felt compassion, Liao Hua would have died among the wolf riders in Bingzhou.
There is not much difference between being trampled by a war horse and being shot through by a crossbow. There is no complete corpse.
Dove searched around, but her brows became more and more frowning.
"What's wrong, Master Dove? Is Liu Bei really not inside?" Lu Xun also looked at Dove nervously.
If his men had not found Liu Bei's body before, it would have been excusable. After all, they have never met Liu Bei.
And now Dove is a person who is very close to Liu Bei. It can be said that the person who gets along day and night is very familiar with Liu Bei, but Liu Bei's body has never been found.
? Then it can only explain one problem.
"This Liu Beihai is not dead!" Dove said with certainty.
"Search. Keep searching. Liu Bei must not have gone far!" Lu Xun gritted his teeth. He really didn't expect that such a layout could allow Liu Bei to escape.
"Not only is Liu Bei's body missing. Even Pang Shiyuan's is missing!" Dove continued.
Liu Bei and Pang Shiyuan, master and servant, escaped and ascended to heaven.
The water ghosts on Galen¡¯s boat went into the water again and started searching.
But after searching for a long time, I couldn't find any other shadows.
"Could it have sunk into the undercurrent of the river?" The deputy general on the side raised such a doubt. There are undercurrents at the bottom of the Yangtze River. If a corpse falls, it is really possible for it to be swept away by the undercurrent.
¡°That¡¯s all I can think about now!¡± Lu Xun said with a sigh.
Lu Xun was in a hurry when he came, bringing only one Galen ship. Dove's fleet over there had also been scattered, and it was impossible to separate the upper and lower parts of the Yangtze River for search.
"Go back first!" Lu Xun could only shake his head. Liu Bei had been defeated. The goal of the Yangzhou Army has been achieved, and Nanyang County has been placed under the command of the Yangzhou Army. Now it is just necessary for the main army to fight across the Yangtze River.
"That's all it can do!" The sky has become dark, and I can't find it no matter how hard I look.
Lu Xun and the others left, fifty miles downstream from the water bank where they left.
The two sound shadows finally emerged from the water.
These two people were none other than Pang Shiyuan and his master Liu Bei.
Pang Shiyuan is from Jingzhou. He grew up on the bank of the Yangtze River. Pang Shiyuan's water skills are naturally excellent.
When Liu Bei's army was surrounded by Galen's ships, Pang Shiyuan secretly found two reeds.
This is basically equipped on the ship for the purpose of breathing underwater. Able to stay underwater for longer periods of time.
Over there, Lu Xun ordered the building to be built.When the ship throws giant arrows.
Pang Shiyuan grabbed Liu Bei and jumped into the Yangtze River.
Although the giant arrow is terrifying, it has the resistance of the river. When it falls into the river, its power is reduced.
When the fleet is in chaos and about to be destroyed. Pang Shiyuan pulled Liu Bei into an undercurrent under the Yangtze River, and followed the thrust of the undercurrent toward the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
This is how we escaped a disaster.
It is getting late now, and the visibility above the river is still very low. It is now safe and you can come out.
Pang Shiyuan then pulled Liu Bei out of the Yangtze River to the shore.
"Breathe, huff. Huff!" Liu Bei gasped for air.
It¡¯s not pleasant to be underwater. If it weren¡¯t for Pang Shiyuan¡¯s excellent water skills, Liu Bei might have died in the Yangtze River today.
"Shi Yuan, thank you for your life-saving grace. Without you, I, Liu Bei, would have died today!" Liu Bei said with a wry smile.
"My lord, what can I say? This is my lord who is destined to live forever. I always want my lord to be alive and achieve a great cause. I can't do anything but follow the trend!" Pang Shiyuan said to Liu Bei.
"Haha!" Liu Bei shook his head with a wry smile. If it was destiny, it was just Liu Bei's own comfort. If it was destiny, Liu Bei wouldn't be homeless now.
"Without further delay, we'd better hurry on early. It's safe only when we reach Xiangyang!" Liu Bei said to Pang Shiyuan, who was now frightened.
"Well, as long as we go back to Xiangyang, Xiangyang's city defense is enough to stop the invasion of Liu Mang's army! As long as we persist for a few months, the situation in the Central Plains will inevitably change dramatically. By then, my lord, you will be ready for your great cause!" Pang Shiyuan was comforting Liu Bei.
Now Yangzhou Liu Mang can free up his hands to deal with Liu Bei, not least because Cao Cao has no time to deal with Yangzhou Liu Mang now.
Ma Chao of Xiliang made rice, which made Cao Cao very anxious.
Ma Chao didn¡¯t have many troops, but he couldn¡¯t hold him back and recruited a lot of people, like Han Sui and the Qiang people.
There are hundreds of thousands at first, and they are all cavalry. Even if the weapons are not elite enough, the momentum alone can make you uncomfortable.
So Cao Cao¡¯s first one to deal with was Ma Chao.
It is impossible for him to keep Ma Chao such a scourge during the decisive battle with Liu Mang of Yangzhou. If Ma Chao were all infantry, he wouldn't be afraid. They would be protected by Xiongguan outside Chang'an.
Even if Ma Chao and his army of 100,000 were given to him, it would be difficult to break through Chang'an. Threaten him Cao Cao.
" But it's up to him to die. Ma Chao has all the cavalry in his hands.
The mobility of this cavalry is not comparable to that of infantry.
Although Xiongguan is tall, people still have to go there.
Rather than filling it with human lives, which is a thankless task, why not just bypass this important pass.
" In this way, the Yangtze River Guanzhong generation will become Ma Chao's horse breeding farm.
Therefore, due to emotions and reasons, Cao Cao wanted to eliminate Ma Chao.
Although Ma Chao is powerful, it is a pity that he is aloof and arrogant, with the momentum of Lu Bu.
Even Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao, let alone such a little Lu Bu.
Pang Shiyuan received information that the Xiliang Alliance in the north had become suspicious of each other under the planning of Cao Cao's advisers, and Han Sui and Ma Chao had begun to quarrel.
No one wants to be the first to contribute.
Jingzhou is nearly a month¡¯s journey from Xiliang.
This information was from a month ago, so now the outcome is even more unpredictable.
However, Pang Shiyuan put himself in his shoes and thought about it. As long as Cao Cao is not a fool and divides and annihilates them, pulling one to fight one by one, Ma Chao's Xiliang coalition army will be defeated in as fast as one month and as slow as three months.
Supplemented by cavalry and infantry, Xiliang finally had no choice but to be defeated.
After Cao Cao eliminated Ma Chao, a serious enemy of his, the next step was to compete with Yangzhou Liu Mang to see who was the overlord of the world.
Cao Cao and Liu Mang are both easy to mess with.
Once the two of them fight to the death, it won¡¯t be Jingzhou who will benefit in the end.
"Liu Mang, Cao Cao!" When the names of these two people were mentioned, Liu Bei was so angry that his teeth itched.
Cao Cao drank wine and discussed heroes, and pretended to compete in front of Liu Bei.
Liu Mang and Liu Hanyang, whether it was the Battle of Shouchun or the two battles of Fancheng, they all slapped Liu Bei in the face. What's more, there was Lu Bu over there, who was also Liu Bei's enemy. If?If Lu Bu hadn't come to Xuzhou, Liu Bei wouldn't have been as confused as he is today.
It can be said that of the two people, Liu Bei responded with the greatest resentment.
"Fight, fight, two dogs bite each other!" Liu Bei thought maliciously. (To be continued.)
