Volume 3: The Land of Jingchu Chapter 222: Taking Down the Stronghold
[Hurry up! Have you not eaten? Idiot... Don't rush in alone, who do you think you are? Are you eager to go up and be a hero? Or are you a male animal attracting mating? Don't ruin my strategy, just be quiet... Bring your men and attack them one by one! ]
"This guy Gongjin... is so scary at this time." In Sun Ce's mind, there was a Zhou Yu who looked like a violent evil ghost, urging him frantically.
At this time, Sun Ce had already exceeded the scope of "Ashura Military Supervisor", but because of their tacit understanding, Zhou Yu easily kept "a trace" of his spiritual face in his heart.
When acting as "Ashura Military Supervisor", Zhou Yu himself will not lose his composure, and his command ability and judgment will not decline, but... he will become super S!
This is completely different from his usual elegant and easy-going appearance...
The number of times Zhou Yu actually used "Ashura Military Supervisor" was actually very few.
In addition to the consumption of its own energy, the negative effects of "frenzy" are also very fatal in head-on combat.
Each Ji-made soldier has a slightly lower obedience, and each general is a little more irritable. Overall, it is extremely easy to cause chaos in the army, and it can generally only be used for sacrificial rearguard actions or suicidal charges...
And...similar to the current shooting phase.
Because there is no need to engage in close combat with the enemy, but only to execute continuous archery commands. In this case, poor obedience and greater irritability will not cause major consequences.
After all, it is common to get carried away by hacking and slashing, but there are very few people who get so angry that they beat their chests and stamp their feet while shooting and shooting - even if they are both killing, the feelings of long-range and close combat are completely different.
There is another possibility, that is, Sun Ce leads the troops personally.
Sun Ce's combat skill "Excitement" can greatly enhance the cohesion of Ji Zao's soldiers and generals when leading the charge, overcoming the side effects of Zhou Yu's "Ashura Military Supervisor" that may cause a rout.
If Zhou Yu's "Shura Military Supervision" made the soldiers under his command in a state of extreme "excitement" at the physical level, making their own spirits unable to be restrained and causing "restlessness", then Sun Ce's "excitement" was to unite the soldiers and make them full of fighting spirit at the spiritual level.
Especially after obtaining the Overlord's Relic Armor, "Excitement" was upgraded to "Heroic" - the effect was more significant than before.
However, Zhou Yu now had to use his own abilities to maintain the "firepower" suppression, so he stayed on the Wu Ya warship at the back.
Sun Ce led dozens of fast oar boats, which were already brave and even more passionate under the inspiration of "Yingzi", and were united and marched towards the same goal, and launched an attack on the warships and battleships at Mianyangkou!
Huang Zu did not expect this. He originally thought that he could turn the disadvantage around with the "Yellow Crossbow", but how come... the enemy is also different from before?
Of course it’s different!
Previously, Sun Ce thought that Huang Zu was personally in charge of Su Fei's flagship, so he "let go" right from the start and had no intention of starting "Yingzi" to lead the team.
As for Zhou Yu... unless absolutely necessary, it is impossible to activate "Ashura" in a favorable situation, otherwise it will lower the upper limit of mental strength, and even... make him uglier!
However, in Huang Zu's view, the ship where Zhou Yu was located had turned into a ruthless arrow-spraying machine, and Sun Ce was like a tiger out of the cage... Huang Zu had long known about Sun Ce's bravery, but the elite troops led by Sun Ce at this time surprised Huang Zu - he had never seen such a heroic army.
When he was about to get close to Huang Zu's ship, Sun Ce activated his other fighting skill "Heroic Soul"!
The translucent figures of the twenty-eight riders reappeared - the heroic spirits of the twenty-eight riders of the Overlord's personal guards will continue to follow the new Overlord into battle.
The twenty-eight riders themselves do not consume Sun Ce's physical strength, but... only when Sun Ce's fighting spirit is aroused to a certain degree can the "heroic spirit" be summoned.
The improvement of fighting spirit will usually accumulate gradually as the battle continues, but... generally speaking, when the battle is not going well, the offensive is blocked, or when people are tired, their fighting spirit will decrease.
But Sun Ce would not be like that. As long as he was fighting, his fighting spirit would always become stronger and stronger. Perhaps... it was the same with Xiang Yu.
Huang Zu became even more determined to retreat when he saw that there were nearly thirty more super guards around Sun Ce who seemed to be made up of light and shadow and fought extremely fiercely.
As the gong sounded, the Jiangxia navy was defeated even more thoroughly than last time...
"Heresy! This is not the power of weapons at all!" Huang Yueying stood on the cliff, looking at the Wuya warship where Zhou Yu was, and Sun Ce who was shining in the boarding battle, advancing one ship after another, and she couldn't help biting her lip.
The maid beside her carefully advised: "Miss, we should leave! The camp on the cliff may not be safe either."
"I know! Sister Nu, you are the most troublesome one." Huang Yueying rolled her eyes.
Eight years ago, when Huang Yueying and her father were traveling from Nanjun to Nanyang, they met Nu Mei. At that time, her family had been killed by bandits. Huang Jun and his servants drove away the bandits and rescued Nu Mei.
The girl from a rural farmer's family didn't have a decent name. Huang Jun wanted her to accompany his daughter who was about the same age, so he changed her surname to Huang...
As a result... Huang Yueying, who was playing with the new crossbow she made at the time, named her "Huang Numei".
In the past few years, Numei has accompanied the young lady in experimenting with various new gadgets, and has suffered a lot.
Before leaving, Huang Yueying glanced in the direction of Huang Zu's flagship - if her uncle had listened to her previous advice, he should have been able to escape, right?
Huang Yueying thought so, so she took Nu Mei and headed towards Echeng.
If Huang Zu could escape, he would probably return to Echeng...
At the same time, after the Jiangxia navy began to retreat, the size of the Wu Ya warships determined that their speed was difficult to match that of the warships. Only the ship where Zhou Yu was on, the rowers seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and could barely keep up.
The only others were the fast oars and flat-boats, which chased all the way up and forcibly attacked by boarding... mainly to take in prisoners of war!
The Jiangxia navy, which was caught up at this time, basically did not dare to resist - otherwise... the retreat was against the current, and if they were delayed for a moment, they would be caught up by the pursuers behind and then besieged.
Naval warfare is also different from land warfare. It is based on boats. The smallest warships of both sides, whether they are galleys or paddle boats, basically only have one human warrior in charge. The Ji-made soldiers led by one person can control the small boat and fight.
Therefore, it is easy to "reach a consensus" to surrender...
However, after Sun Ce boarded the commander's ship, he found that only Huang Zu's deputy general was wearing his clothes.
Huang Zu's deputy general, who was also a family general of the Huang family, deliberately lured Sun Ce to come, creating an opportunity for Huang Zu to escape.
Although the deputy general was killed, Huang Zu could no longer catch up with him.
The Chaisang navy chased all the way to Miankou and captured the water fort, but they did not find Huang Zu...
