Soldiers come to the world

Although Ling Tong was once appointed as a pawn because of his liking to Liu Jing, that was just to give Liu Jing an explanation and put on a show. In fact, after the end of the Chibi War, Ling Tong was named Captain Chenglie again. This time Sun Quan During the Western Expedition, he was named the Three Pioneers of Defeating the Enemy together with Lu Meng and Ding Feng.

Jiang Xia's army attacked unexpectedly today, and it happened that he was on duty to patrol the water stronghold, so he immediately led dozens of sentry boats to meet the battle.

The small boat cut through the waves in the big river and advanced rapidly. Ling Tong stood on the bow of the first warship, holding a steel knife and shield, staring sharply at the enemy ship, like a leopard about to pounce on it.

The reason why he is so fierce is that there is a secret hidden in his heart, that is, he knows that Princess Shangxiang is watching him from the top of the city, and there are beauties paying attention, which arouses the male courage in his body even more.

The oncoming Jiangxia warships are all Baishi fast boats, a total of fifty ships, led by Shen Mi, the number one warrior on the water of the Jiangxia army. The Jiangdong Army warship. [

No one would have imagined that Liu Jing stood on the bow of a thousand-stone warship in the middle hundreds of steps away to watch the battle. This was a battle to test the bee crossbow. Effect.

At this time, Liu Jing saw Ling Tong from a distance, and couldn't help but sneered, "What a sincerity of Sun Quan!" '

His gaze turned to the top of the city again, seven or eight miles away, he could only vaguely see the top of the city full of spectators, although he couldn't see their faces clearly, he could imagine that Sun Quan was among them.

Liu Jing couldn't help showing a mocking smile on his face, if Sun Quan tasted the taste of the bee crossbow, what kind of expression would he have.

"Beat the drums to help!"

With Liu Jing's order, the war drums on the three thousand stone ships rang rumblingly, and the drums resounded across the river, which further inspired the fighting spirit of Jiangxia's navy, and they were getting closer and closer to the Jiangdong warship.

As Shen Mi approached the enemy ship, he immediately ordered: "Prepare the bee crossbow!"

A soldier sat on the bow and manipulated the bee crossbows. These were fifty bee crossbows brought back by Liu Jing from Xiakou. They were installed on the bow, and one soldier could operate them.

Liu Jing later found out that the reason why Ma Jun temporarily chose the rhubarb crossbow was actually a deceptive strategy, to make the enemy mistakenly think that it was a ten-stone heavy crossbow.

But in fact, it is only a two-stone crossbow, and the ten-stone hornet crossbow has not been developed yet, because the arrow box method can withstand the impact of ten stone gravity.

Two stone crossbows, [-] steps of killing range, this is actually of little significance for actual combat, the opponent can use a shield to defend against it, once the ten stone bee crossbow is developed, the crossbow bolts can penetrate the shield, and the lethality Amazing, so today's battle is largely a psychological one.

Jiang Xia's warship rushed towards the enemy ship from the side, and the soldiers aimed at a dozen soldiers on the enemy ship. The two ships were getting closer and closer, fifty steps, thirty steps and ten steps, and the distance was only ten steps. At this time, Ling Tong also Seeing the monster on the bow of Jiang Xia's army, he suddenly recognized that it was a rhubarb crossbow, so startled that he turned around and shouted: "Use your shield quickly!"

But it was too late, 'Crack! There was a sound of a crossbow, and nine arrows roared out, shooting at the soldiers on board in an instant, only to hear a scream, five people were "shot" by the arrows, rolled into the river, and Ling Tong's legs were also shot. He was hit by an arrow, and blood gushed out.

"Ling Tong is to die!" Shen Mi shouted, and struck Ling Tong's throat with a halberd head-on.

At this time, nearly a hundred small boats were fighting fiercely in one place on the river, bee crossbows were fired one after another, and Jiangdong soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

The standard configuration of the Jiangdong navy is spears, swords and round shields. Generally, spears are used, and the round shields are carried behind the back. Only when facing the enemy's bow and arrow attack or close combat will they switch to swords and shields.

On the small boat, people fell into the water one by one, even Sun Quan on the top of the wall realized something was wrong, he looked solemn, turned to Huang Gai and asked, "What did the old general find?"

Huang Gai also showed surprise in his eyes, "It seems that our soldiers have been hit by arrows, but the enemy soldiers did not use bows and arrows, and the humble officials don't know!"

Sun Quan realized that it was not good. If his sentry ships were wiped out, it would seriously affect the morale of the army, so he immediately ordered: "Ming Jin withdraws troops!" [

"Dang! Dang! Dang!" The rapid bell rang, urging the sentry ships ahead to retreat.

The fierce battle on the river was fierce, but the victory and defeat were already divided. The huge lethality of the bee crossbow caused the Jiangdong Navy to lose [-]% of its personnel before fighting. support.

Ling Tong's martial arts are superior to Shen Mi's, and his water skills are not weaker than Shen Mi's. Shen Mi's overall strength is not as good as Ling Tong's, but because of Ling Tong's leg injury, his strength and martial arts are compromised. He was defeated by Shen Mi, his hair was disheveled, and he was blocked by left and right, looking very embarrassed.

At this time Ling Tong heard the sound of Ming Jin withdrawing his troops, but he couldn't get away from the opponent's fierce attack. He was very anxious and shouted angrily. The saber came out of his hand and slashed at Shen Mi. Shen Mi dodged the saber sideways. .

Ling Tong seized this momentary opportunity, turned over and jumped into the river, and disappeared like a fish.

Shen Mi was furious, and was about to jump into the water to chase after him. At this time, the sound of bells and drums rang out on the Jiang Xia Army's large ship. This was an order not to chase the poor. Shen Mi restrained the urge to dive, and shouted: "Don't chase after me!" !"

Jiangdong soldiers fought with more than 700 warships, but in the end less than [-] ships returned, and nearly [-] people were killed or injured for a thousand soldiers, while Jiangxia's army lost less than [-] warships and more than [-] people were killed or injured.

For decades, the Jingzhou navy has always lost more than the Jiangdong navy, and the few victories have been disastrous victories. Today, such water battles with a disparity in victory and defeat are extremely rare between the Jiangdong and Jiangxia armies. It was the bee crossbow that played a decisive role in the middle.

Liu's face showed a look of relief. Although today's bee crossbow just killed a surprise, once the real hornet crossbow is successfully developed, it will be the Jiangdong Army's nightmare.

At this time, Shen Mi led the warships to return one after another. Shen Mi got on the big ship and knelt down on one knee to salute, "Reporting to the state pastor, the humble post did not fight well, resulting in the casualties of 120 brothers."

Liu helped him up and said with a smile: "It's already very good. If it weren't for the bee crossbow's power, at least [-]% of the brothers would have been killed or killed. The outcome is still unknown."

Speaking of the bee crossbow, Shen Mi suddenly became excited, "Qi Zhou Mu, this bee crossbow is really very lethal, especially in close combat on water, if it is a real rhubarb crossbow, it can "shoot" through the enemy Shield, then we are really enemies on the water."

Liu just smiled. The bee crossbow is not fire oil. Once the Jiangdong army gets a bee crossbow, they can also imitate it. At most one year, they can make a large number of them and use it to deal with Jiang Xia's army. In fact, the water surface His trump card should be kerosene, and the bee crossbow should be used to deal with cavalry of Cao Jun.

He asked again: "Is there any gain in this battle?"

"There is one more thing to report to the State Shepherd."

Shen Mi walked back to the side of the boat, leaned forward and shouted: "Bring the things up!"

Soon, a soldier carried a wooden barrel onto the big ship. There was some leakage in the wooden barrel, and kerosene flowed out from the gap. Liu's expression suddenly became serious. I put a little kerosene by my nose and sniffed it. It was really the same kerosene as them.

Shen Mi said from the side: "The barrel of kerosene found on their main ship at this time was not found on other ships. There are words on it, which should be kerosene provided by Cao Jun to Jiangdong Army."

Liu turned over the oil drum, and sure enough, he found a black character 'Cao' on the bottom edge. Liu's face sank like water. He had heard rumors that Cao Cao gave the fire oil to the Jiangdong Army. Now the rumors have become facts. good!

After thinking for a moment, Liu immediately ordered: "Return to Wuchang!"

Jiang Xia's army reorganized the fleet and headed back to Wuchang in a mighty way

In the end, Ling Tong was carried into Chaisang City by sergeants and received emergency medical treatment from military doctors. Sun Quan had already received definite news from the soldiers that there was a rhubarb that could shoot more than a dozen arrows at the same time on the bow of Jiang Xia's army. The crossbow has amazing lethality and greatly affects morale. [

This made Sun Quan's heart very heavy. He paced back and forth in the room alone with his hands behind his back, thinking that they also had fire oil and could compete with Jiang Xia's army on the river.

However, the emergence of the multi-arrow rhubarb crossbow made the Jiangdong army lag behind. If it fell behind, it would be beaten and failed. Sun Quan was full of worries about the prospects of this battle.

Of course, Sun Quan knew where the gap was. The fundamental reason was that there was a craftsmanship school in Jiangxia, and schools for craftsmen were established, which led to the continuous emergence of outstanding talents and the great development of Jiangxia's weapons, warships, irrigation, docks and other equipment. It is no accident that the multi-arrow rhubarb crossbow appeared today.

In particular, the warships that rely on wooden impellers to sail against the wind and the current on the water brought great shock to Sun Quan, and also prompted him to consider setting up a craftsman school following the example of Jiang Xia, but this idea was strongly opposed by a large number of literati such as Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong. , and finally nothing happened.

Today, the appearance of the multi-arrow rhubarb crossbow has made Sun Quan's willingness to establish a craftsmanship become stronger again.

At this time, the guard at the gate reported: "Zhou Hujun is here!"

Zhou Hujun, also known as Zhou Yu, was dismissed from the position of governor because of his strong opposition to Sun Quan's westward expedition. , he came directly from Lujiang to Chaisang.

Zhou Yu's arrival gave Sun Quan a glimmer of hope, and he immediately ordered: "Please come in!"

Although Zhou Yu opposed the Jiangdong army's westward expedition, he was an official of Jiangdong after all. Sun Quanzhi ordered him not to disobey, so he finally rushed to Chaisang from Lujiang River. When he entered the room, Zhou Yu bowed and said: "My minister sees Wuhou !"

"Ok!"

Sun Quan nodded and asked, "Zijing is also coming to Chaisang, haven't you met him?"

"Weichen didn't meet him."

"Maybe he's still on his way!"

Speaking of this, Sun Quan changed the subject: "A war broke out today, does Gongjin know?"

"Weichen just went to visit General Ling and learned a little about the situation."

Sun Quan felt a little displeased, so he urged him to come. He went to visit Ling Tong first, but after thinking about it, Sun Quan realized that Zhou Yu was actually going to inquire about the situation of the war. His dissatisfaction disappeared, and he asked with concern: "Then what do you think of today's battle?"

"Today's battle is Liu's conspiracy. If I guess correctly, Liu must be on the big ship today."
