The ballistae is now completely useless! Zhou Yu’s flagship and Kuai Liang’s warships were already engaged in tangled warfare. As the distance was too near, using the ballistae may be able to harm Zhou Yu’s flagship but it would also harm themselves. It would tear apart both Zhou Yu’s flagship and their own warships.

Kuai Liang could also no longer manage it as he was targeted. Deng Long was already dead in the river and the next person was Kuai Liang!

Kuai Liang felt bitter. He wanted to reenact the scenario of defeating the 30,000 Jiangdong Army like the Lu Bu’s Army. He would send Zhou Yu into the river and the achievement would make the Jingzhou Navy’s fame rise. He did not expect the location of the battle and his unfamiliarity of the ballistae ended up giving this result. Luckily, Kuai Liang has already sent a ballista to Jingzhou separately. Otherwise, Jingzhou’s future would really be destroyed by his hands.

“Master Zi Rou, there is no longer a need to struggle!” Zhou Yu also saw Huang Gai’s arrow killing Deng Long. He also knew that Kuai Liang would not be able to survive. If they had met in times of peace, they would have been friends! He initially invited Kuai Liang to Jiangdong as a guest but now he has to see a talented man fall!

Huang Gai draw his longbow. He was old and his eyes was no longer as good but he was still confident in his skills. He was about to shoot when there were large shouts coming from behind the flagship. He saw that it was a large naval force that had a green banner.

Huang Gai frowned. These naval army was the 70,000 Jingzhou Army with over 200 warships that were stationed at the other side of the river. Huang Gai himself has engaged in combat with them for more than 10 times.

“It’s them!” Kuai Liang also heard the shouting and saw them. The green flag, their dialect. Without a doubt, it was the Jingzhou Navy. Kuai Liang has never been so excited! He took advantage of the time that Huang Gai was distracted by the shout to quickly escape from his line of sight.

When Huang Gai tried to find Kuai Liang later, Kuai Liang already hid himself in the towered ship. Huang Gai put down his bow and picked up a sword. He prepared himself to engage the enemy.

“N?” Zhou Yu swung his sword. The Jingzhou Army has bought a lot of time. After seeing Han Dang’s fleet destroyed and Kuai Liang that almost lose his life, the Jingzhou Army finally appeared. Zhou Yu’s flagship was currently facing downstream while it’s back is the Jingzhou Army. At this rate, their back would be stabbed for explosive chrysanthemum.

Zhou Yu only needed one incense stick of time!

With that amount of time, he could have destroyed Kuai Liang!

Zhou Yu wanted to fight this army instead of dealing with Kuai Liang but he also could not do that. This is because they have already lost 1 among the 3 main armies of Jiangdong. If he loses this as well, they would not be able to attack others. The green banners are getting closer from behind and the character written showed that this was Wen Pin’s warship. Although he was merely a deputy general, he was stronger than Huang Zu. Wen Pin’s timely arrival really saved them from losing Jiangxia. Although Wen Ping was just a deputy general, he commanded 50,000 soldiers while Huang Zu could only command 20,000 soldiers, which included Deng Long and his 7,000 soldiers. Zhou Yu no longer has the time to finish off Kuai Liang as Wen Ping should not be underestimated. He cannot leave his back exposed to such danger.

“Sound the retreat!” Zhou Yu shouted as he jumped onto his flagship.
