Everyone thought that they already looked up to Zhou Yu very highly.
But as it turns out, this is just the beginning The sharp attack of the Jiangdong Navy has just begun Just when the two sides entered a state of anxiety, the Jiangdong Navy suddenly launched a secret weapon, a slap stick This weapon is actually tied to the top of the mast with a boulder and tied to a high place with a rope.
When the ship of several men approached the mast, it suddenly lowered and smashed the enemy's ship with a huge impulse of stones.
The clapper should have been invented in the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Song Dynasty, but I didn't expect that because of Lu Bu's crossing, it had been advanced to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
And this clapper was not proposed by Lu Bu, but invented by Zhou Yu himself.
I have to say that in terms of water warfare, Zhou Yu really has an amazing talent.
Of course, the reason why Zhou Yu was able to invent the clapper is inseparable from Lu Bu's improvement of the catapult.
Zhou Yu was inspired by the new catapult that Lu Bu had improved, and then invented the clap rod.
However, because the invention was not long, there were not many ships on the warships of the Jiangdong Navy that were equipped with clapsticks.
But all the battleships with the cue stick installed, when they were used for the first time, all worked.
With the rumbling sound, there were constantly Jingzhou naval troops on the river surface that were smashed and sunk by boulders In fact, it is estimated that there are only dozens or hundreds of ships that have been sunk.
Relative to the big battle on the entire river, it is almost negligible.
But this kind of shocking attack method, which the Jingzhou Navy has never seen before, is too demoralizing.
Seeing that a ship beside him was suddenly smashed and sunk, the Jingzhou Navy was all frightened and frightened, and their morale was low.
The Jiangdong naval army, on the other hand, had high morale and sharpened its attacks.
Among the other and the other, the defeat of the Jingzhou naval army was faster.
At such a time, everyone on both sides of the river can see it.
The defeat of the Jingzhou Navy has become a foregone conclusion, and there is no possibility of reversal at all.
It depends on how defeated the Jingzhou Navy will be.
But in the whole of Jingzhou, there are only 50,000 sailors, how could Liu Biao watch his 30,000 sailors being dumplings by the Jiangdong navy If all these 30,000 sailors are buried in the river, then he Jingzhou will basically become an empty shell.
Therefore, Liu Biao sent all his remaining 20,000 sailors out with red eyes, trying to rescue the 30,000 sailors surrounded by Jiangdong regiments.
Not only that, Liu Biao also asked Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others to send a new army of the navy to help.
After some consideration, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao agreed to Liu Biao's request.
They also knew in their hearts that if Liu Biao's 30,000 naval army was completely carried out in this battle this time, it would be a huge blow to their princes' allied forces.
Therefore, it is very necessary to rescue Liu Biao's naval army.
Soon, Liu Biao's remaining 20,000 sailors, as well as the 30,000 new troops of the Princes' Alliance, formed a black and oppressive fleet, and quickly went to the battlefield for reinforcements.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu did not hesitate at all, and directly reinforced the 50,000 new troops in Jiangdong.
For Zhou Yu, this battle is also not to be defeated.
As long as this battle is won, there will be battles in the future.
If this battle fails, then the Jiangdong Navy may be completely collapsed In a short time, the 50,000 naval troops in Jiangdong met the 20,000 naval troops in Jingzhou, as well as the 30,000 new troops of the princes' alliance.
Jiangdong's 50,000 new navy army is inferior in strength to Jingzhou's 20,000 veteran navy.
But it is much stronger than the 30,000 new army of the alliance of princes.
There is no way, the new army of 30,000 sailors of the alliance of princes is now on the river, that is, it can barely walk on the boat, and it is even a little unstable.
How scummy the combat effectiveness is, you can imagine.
And the new army of Jiangdong's navy basically grew up by the river since childhood, and the time spent on the boat is not even less than that on the shore.
The gap in water quality between the two sides is very huge.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, a fierce battle broke out.
On the whole, the combat effectiveness of the two sides is basically equal.
But in terms of fighting spirit, the princes' coalition army and the Jingzhou naval army are much worse.
The Jiangdong naval army is to defend the country, while the princes' alliance is for aggression, and the mentality is different.
The 30,000 naval troops surrounded in Jingzhou were constantly encroached upon by the Jiangdong naval army, and they couldn't stand it in front of them.
At this time, not only Liu Biao was anxious in Jiangbei, but even Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others couldn't stand it.
Obviously, they have an absolute advantage in numbers, how can they fight so badly Therefore, they decided to throw all their naval forces into battle.
In terms of the total number of people, the alliance of princes had an army of 200,000, and the Jiangdong side had an army of about 150,000.
In the event of a scuffle, both sides will suffer heavy casualties.

For the coalition of princes, if the casualties on both sides are almost the same, they just earned.
For the Jiangdong Naval Army, it was a fiasco.
Because the strength of the alliance of the princes can be replenished in a steady stream.
But the Jiangdong naval army, the number is difficult to replenish.
Therefore, in the face of this situation, Zhou Yu did not blindly send the remaining 50,000 new troops to the battlefield.
Instead, he took the initiative to release a gap in the encirclement, and at the same time asked the 50,000 new troops who participated in the war to slowly retreat and give up fighting hard with the princes' alliance.
In this way, Liu Biao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
And Liu Biao's 30,000 sailors, who were surrounded, saw that the other party took the initiative to let go of an opening at this moment, and everyone had a feeling of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and immediately desperately drove the boat towards the direction of the gap, hoping to escape from the other party's encirclement immediately.
At this time, Zhou Yu gave the order to attack with all his strength.
At this time, Liu Biao's 30,000 sailors were thinking about how to escape, and they completely lost their fighting spirit.
Therefore, the attack of the Jiangdong Navy at this time was basically a one-sided massacre.
The 30,000 naval army in Jingzhou lost even faster, and the remaining number of people at this time was less than half of the number.
Seeing this kind of scene, Liu Biao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others couldn't help frowning tightly.
I have to say that Zhou Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Jiangdong Naval Army, is really terrible.
The control of the situation is terrifying In this case, they also do not have the slightest solution.
In the end, less than 10,000 of the 30,000 Jingzhou naval troops who were surrounded escaped.
Zhou Yu did not order the navy to pursue, but concentrated all his forces together to form a defensive formation.
Huang Zu was so angry that he launched several fierce attacks, but each time he suffered heavy losses and did not gain much.
This battle was fought until sunset, and the sky was dark, and the two sides beat their drums and withdrew their troops.
After the war, the two sides counted the personnel, and the alliance of princes lost as many as 37,000 troops in one day.
On the Jiangdong side, more than 21,000 soldiers were also killed
