The storyteller who walks the rivers and lakes

Chapter 281
The sun rises in the east, and the rays of light are overwhelming.

Lu Fei, who was sitting cross-legged on the bow of the boat, slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of auspiciousness flashed in his eyes.

Although the ship was not small, there were no other guests on the ship except Lu Fei, so no one came to bother him.

It was already the tenth day since he boarded the ship. Although the speed of the ship was not slow, it was still thousands of miles away from Jinling.

Now their location belongs to the boundary of Jiujiang County in Jingzhou. Because the water on the Longjiang River here is calm, their speed has also slowed down.

Jiujiang County, as the largest county in Jingzhou, is also an important water transportation hub of Dachu, so at this time the entire river is filled with large ships, and all the sails are white as far as the eye can see.

However, although there are many boats on the river, if you observe carefully, you can find the difference!

The water surface of the Longjiang River here is about 5000 meters wide, and you can't see the edge at a glance, giving people a feeling of facing the sea.But because the Qin and Chu countries are facing each other across the river, the ships on the Longjiang River are also divided into two types.

The boat that Lu Fei was on belonged to Misty City, and hung the money flag of the Changle Gang, so no matter whether it was Jiangnan or Jiangbei, he could sail at will. special treatment.

But it is not so easy for other ships.

At this time, in Lu Fei's field of vision, in the left waters less than 5 meters away from them, a golden ship with a [-]-story structure and a height of more than [-] feet was sailing slowly.

On this huge ship, there are even groups of sergeants in black armor patrolling back and forth, and a bed crossbow is erected on the side of the ship. Lu Fei can even clearly see the flickering cold light of those arm-thick crossbow arrows .

This is the golden battleship of Daqin, and it is one of the most powerful warships on the water in Shenzhou.

The main body of the golden battleship has a five-story structure and is more than a hundred feet high.There are six paddle poles on the left, right, front, back, and fifty feet high.Each wooden mast is tied with a boulder, and there is a potter's wheel under it. When an enemy ship is approaching during a battle, the boulder can be quickly put down with the potter's wheel to smash the enemy ship.If you miss a hit, you can quickly put it away and put it away again.If the enemy ships are surrounded on all sides, they can still "six-pronged approach", which can be seen from its strong combat effectiveness.

Even in the eyes of Lu Fei, who has the soul of modern people, this kind of [-]-meter warship can be regarded as a real behemoth.

Although the weapons are still in the stage of cold weapons, the huge size still shocked him.

Putting this thing on the Longjiang River is almost invincible. With it patrolling the waters, I am afraid that all the merchant ships in Dachu will be frightened.

However, in the face of Daqin's aggressiveness, the Xiang family of Chu State would naturally not just admit cowardice like this.

However, although Chu State is located in the south of the Yangtze River, it is reasonable to say that it should have stronger water power than Daqin, which is located in the inland northwest of China, but they are really unable to build such a giant golden warship. Come out with a battleship that matches it.

But as a person who has lived on the water for a long time, the Chu State Navy has also found a way to deal with the Daqin golden warship over the years, that is a warship called the Iron Wall Huaxi Sea Falcon!
The iron-walled warship is no more than 10 feet long, which is about 30 meters long, and 1 foot and 8 feet wide, which is about 5.5 meters. The bottom of the ship is 1 foot thick. It has 10 oars, 42 sailors, and 108 soldiers. people.

Compared with the golden warship that has countless heavy weapons and can carry nearly 2000 people, this iron-walled sea falcon warship can be said to be a real little one, without any threat at all.

But because the bow side of the iron wall of the sea falcon warship is equipped with iron plates, and there are plowshare-shaped iron horns below the waterline, which can directly launch a deadly collision attack on the enemy ship, so if you encounter these guys during a water battle , even the golden battleship has to avoid its edge.

After all, in comparison, the price to be paid for the loss of a golden warship is probably greater than hundreds of iron-walled warships.In addition, it is too difficult to build this golden battleship, especially it requires a lot of precious materials and special craftsmen, so even if it is Daqin, there are only less than [-] ships, so the Qin army will not use the treasures in their hands Go head-to-head with Chu Jun's iron lump.

This is also the only way for Chu's navy to deal with Daqin now.

Lu Fei, who was watching the huge battleship go away, heard footsteps behind him, and then heard a flattering voice.

"Haha, son, did you see the golden battleship that just passed?"

Without looking back, Lu Fei knew the identity of the person who came, and he was the boss of the ship, so he just nodded slightly and didn't speak.

The person who came didn't seem to care about this, and continued: "Hey! If you want to say that this golden battleship is really powerful, let's not talk about other things, just relying on the waves caused by the huge hull, it makes ordinary small boats even close. Can't do it. It is worthy of the reputation of having the first ship in China!

But it is a pity that it is too difficult to build a battleship of this scale. It is said that the hull alone requires several pieces of Tongtian dragon wood to build, which is really extravagant! "

Tongtian Longmu Nai is a very rare tree on the land of China. It is said that this kind of tree can be up to ten thousand years old, hundreds of feet high, and as strong as a diamond. It is a sacred tree left by the ancient gods in the world.

Only this kind of legendary god tree can carry such a huge ship.

I am afraid that only the Great Qin Dynasty, which has ruled the land of China for thousands of years, can use the legendary sacred wood to build ships.

Ordinary people, even if they encounter a branch of the Tongtian Dragon Tree, some people will be willing to go bankrupt to fight for it.

According to legend, the Wujin sharpshooter, which ranks No. 20 on the top of the Jianghu magic weapon list, has a handle carved from this heavenly wood.

Just when the boss of the ship wanted to continue chatting with Lu Fei, he suddenly saw thick smoke billowing from a sailboat in front of him on the left, and he was surprised: "Eh? Someone is fighting ahead!"

Lu Fei frowned, looked in the direction the boat boss said, and also found the sailboat that was already on fire.

But he didn't pay much attention to it at first.

After all, this kind of thing is really too common. There are countless warriors on the Longjiang River, and this kind of fighting is staged countless times almost every day.

But when he looked over carefully, he suddenly saw a familiar figure among those fighting, which immediately made Lu Fei's heart move slightly.

Lu Fei still had some impressions of the black clothes with scale patterns in his memory.

"That is, a member of the Iron Palm Gang?"

Back then, when he came to Misty City from Sanghai City, Lu Fei had been to a place called Yunmeng Mountain, and met a little girl with whom he had a good relationship there.

It's just that I was alone in the rivers and lakes back then, so I could only entrust the little girl to other people to take care of, and the entrusted person was the leader of the Iron Palm Gang...

In a flash, more than half a year has passed, and I don't know how the yellow-haired girl is doing now?
