Soldiers come to the world

Hundreds of small and medium-sized warships on the river rushed towards the Jiangxia Army Water Village with the wind and waves. Behind the small boats, nearly a hundred warships lined up, commanded by generals Zhang Yun and Cai He.

At this time, there were bursts of urgent alarm bells from Chibiji, 'Dang!when!when! The bell sounded alarmed and hurried, it was the Jiangxia sentry who had discovered the military situation.

On the bow, Zhang Yun had a sneer on his face. He had finally waited for this day. The hatred in his heart had been hidden for many years. Finally, the moment of his revenge came.

"Does the general think that Liu Jing will be tricked?" Cai He next to him asked worriedly.

Zhang Yun glanced at him, and said coldly with disdain: "This is not a trick, it's to catch Liu Jing by surprise."

He pointed at Jiang Xia's water village, "Didn't you see it? All the warships are in the water village. As long as his gate is sealed, how can they fight?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Yun ignored Cai He, turned around and shouted loudly: "Beat the drum!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" There was loud drumming on the warship, which was an order to raise fire. There were three soldiers from Cao Jun's navy on each of the hundreds of fast boats rushing towards Jiangxia Army's water stronghold. He raised a torch and lit the kerosene in the boat Suddenly, hundreds of raging fast boats appeared on the river, sailing towards the three gates of the Jiangxia Army Water Village.

Hundreds of fire boats crowded in front of the gates of the three water villages in an instant, the flames gathered, and the flames soared into the sky, and also ignited the gates on both sides of the water villages. Hundreds of Jiangxia sentries jumped into the water and swam into the water villages.

But the strange thing is that the water village is still very quiet, and Jiangxia soldiers did not rush into the warships in a chaotic manner, which made Zhang Yun feel a little bit ominous. He suddenly found that there were not many warships in the water village. Two or three hundred ships, where did the rest of the warships go?

Zhang Yun suddenly panicked.

.........

On the north bank, Cao Cao, with his helmet on and armor in his hand, was watching the movement on the south bank of the Yangtze River from the observation platform holding the Yitian sword. He suddenly saw countless fire spots appearing on the river surface, and he was overjoyed.

The gate of the water village was wide open, and hundreds of large ships were fully loaded with the first batch of nearly 20 Cao Jun soldiers to leave the water village. Sailing to Chibi, but to a wilderness a few miles east of Chibi, where [-] Cao troops will land forcibly in four batches.

Cao Cao also knew that there were risks. He didn't know how long the fire would block Jiangxia's warships, but he insisted on a principle. Jiangxia's army with a ship of more than a thousand stones could not fight against the wind. Even if he sent a small boat, he was not afraid. troop carrier.

Hundreds of large ships are like hills moving on the river, undulating and navigating on the river, surrounded by hundreds of small warships, the water surface is very turbulent, the Cao soldiers in the cabin can't bear it, and some people start to cover their mouths Running to the corner, which caused more pain.

Not long after the troop carrier left the water stronghold, a soldier suddenly pointed to the southwest and shouted, "Look, what is that?"

Everyone turned their heads to look southwest together, and were stunned for a moment. They saw densely packed sampans and boats on the river in the southwest. There were thousands of them, and they were rushing towards Cao Jun's water village, like a school of speeding fish. .

Cao Cao was shocked, he suddenly remembered that most of the small warships in the water village had already been dispatched, and none of them intercepted the opponent's boats to kill them. I am willing to go out to intercept the warship."

Cao Cao hurriedly ordered: "Go!"

Zhang Nan jumped off a warship and pointed, "Attack!"

Eighty warships of hundreds of stones sailed out of the gate of the water stronghold, and Cao Cao ordered ten thousand crossbowmen to rush to the head of the stronghold. Get ready, so what will happen in tonight's big battle?

Cao Cao didn't dare to think about it anymore, he turned his head and looked at Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu's face was also pale, the thing he was worried about finally happened, his heart was confused, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

But he had to give the Prime Minister an answer. Cheng Yu gritted his teeth and said, "As long as Jiang Xia's large warships cannot participate in the battle, it is a form of harassment."

Cao Cao calmed down a little. Cheng Yu was right. As long as the wind direction remained the same, he didn't have to be afraid. He looked back and saw nearly a thousand large ships loaded with the second and third batches of [-] soldiers were ready to go. Let's cut off Jiang Xiajun's harassment.

Cao Cao shouted, "Close the gate of the village!"

The gate of Cao Jun's water village creaked and closed to prevent enemy ships from breaking into the water village from the gate.

The sampan dispatched by the Jiang Xia Army is called a shuttle boat. As the name suggests, it is a slender fishing boat with a width of only four feet and a length of two feet. It can be seen everywhere in the rivers in the south of the Yangtze River. Most of them have a row of ospreys standing at the stern.

The advantage of this kind of small boat is that it is fast, extremely flexible, and can pass through the gaps of large boats. It has a special feature for water villages, that is, it can easily pass through wooden piles with a seven-foot spacing in general water villages, so This kind of shuttle boat was dubbed "Water Village Killer" by the soldiers.

However, the disadvantage of this kind of shuttle boat is also obvious, that is, it is difficult to control, and it can be overturned by a wave when traveling on the big river. Unless the driving ability is extremely strong, sailing on the Yangtze River is extremely risky.

But for the Jiangxia navy, it must have such a quick-response army. As early as in Chaisang, the Jiangxia army began to train the navy to control this kind of shuttle boat, and has trained [-] outstanding sailors so far.

This time, the Jiangxia army sent two thousand shuttle boats, each with two soldiers, one of them rowed the oars at the tail to steer the boat, and the other stood at the bow to steer the boat to control the direction of sailing. Fire oil, covered with oilcloth.

At this time, General Zhang Nan of the Cao Army led eighty small boats of hundreds of stones to attack them head-on, but the shuttle boats were like a frightened school of fish, avoiding to both sides one after another.

But soon, Shen Mi, the general of the Jiang Xia Army, began to organize the shuttle boats to counterattack. Ten shuttle boats besieged a Cao Jun warship and attacked from all directions. Shen Mi was naked from the waist up, holding a shield in his left hand and a sharp halberd in his right .

He had already fixed his eyes on the small boat where General Cao Jun was. When the shuttle boat approached the small boat, Shen Mi jumped onto the bow, swung out his short halberd, blood shot out, a soldier of Cao Jun screamed and fell into the river.

Zhang Nanhuo turned around and stared viciously at the uninvited passenger on the bow with a big knife in his hand. He suddenly roared and swung the knife with a fierce force. Shen Mi smiled coldly, and poured a lot of force into his legs. The boat shook violently.

Several Cao soldiers fell into the water screaming, and Zhang Nan couldn't stand still. He staggered and swayed to the left. Shouting, Zhang Nan's head flew up, and his body fell into the water.

Shen Mi's victory inspired Jiangxia's soldiers. They followed suit and shook Cao Jun's boats. After a while, most of the eighty boats capsized and all the soldiers on board were killed.

Dozens of horns blew at the same time, and the low-pitched sound of the horns echoed on the river, encouraging the soldiers of the Jiang Xia Army. Two thousand shuttle boats regrouped and rushed towards Cao Jun's water village.

The Cao Jun Water Village is exactly the same as the Jiangxia Water Village. They are both Jingzhou-style water villages in the same strain. Wooden stakes are driven into the bottom of the river.

In the Jiangxia water village, five hundred stone boats are used, which are not too big or too small. The boats are connected by iron chains and covered with wooden boards as the boat wall.

The biggest advantage of this kind of ship wall is that it is convenient for crossbowmen to defend in front of the water stronghold. At the same time, because the gap between the ships is very small, even if the enemy small boats attack with fire, they can only burn the ship wall and cannot go deep into the water. Inside the village.

But the situation of Cao Jun is a bit special. They have 20 troops and consume a lot of food every day. The warships of [-] shi need to be used to transport food, and the warships below [-] shi are too small, so Cao Jun uses warships of [-] shi. The array is the ship wall, which is also connected by iron chains and covered with ship boards.

But in this way, there was a loophole, that is, there was a gap six to seven feet wide between the boats, and the shuttle boat could pass through the gap and go straight to the depths of Cao Jun's water stronghold, and Jiang Xiajun's shuttle boat appeared, Obviously, this fatal loophole was seized.

The densely packed shuttle boats rushed a hundred paces in front of the water stronghold, and arrows roared all over the sky. The soldiers at the helm in front squatted down and raised their huge shields to meet them, while the paddling soldiers behind them hid behind the oil barrels.

Even so, many soldiers were shot by arrows, or the ships lost their direction, turned around on the water, or lost power, and the ships slowly slowed down, but this was only a small number, and most of the ships rushed into the gap quickly water village.

The soldiers smashed the oil barrel with an ax and pushed it down the river. Soon the fire broke out, igniting the boat and the river surface. The soldiers on the boat jumped into the water and swam out of the water village.

This is an extremely spectacular picture. The two water villages in the north and the south are raging fires. The difference is that the Jiangxia Army Water Village is an empty village with only more than 1000 old ships, while the Cao Jun Water Village is an empty village. In Shizhai, there are not only more than [-] warships, but also [-] soldiers preparing to cross the river.

The wind took advantage of the fire, and the flames rose into the air. The soldiers screamed and wailed, scrambling to escape, and Cao Jun's water village was in chaos. At this moment, another scene that Cao Jun could not imagine appeared.
