Xu Xianzhi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, it will take some time. Besides, even if you find it, you have to take action at the most appropriate time. Xile, do you really want to attack with the whole army?"
Liu Yi smiled and said: "Charging into the battle, I, Liu Yi, am far behind others. I am sending an order to the entire army. Tonight, we will have a celebration banquet in Xunyang City!"
On the Shuilong, He Danzhi opened his eyes wide and looked a few miles away. He began to move as a whole. The Beifu Army's Chinese fleet, more than 300 warships, rushed towards his own fleet. Weighing anchor, going against the wind, following closely behind the zigzag movement of the former warships, the sound of war drums was loud, accompanied by the shouts of the soldiers of the Beifu Army. For a time, the momentum was so high that even the water surface was shaken. Waves of light flashed, and from time to time fish jumped out of the water in shock.
Feng Gai on the side laughed and said: "It is said that Liu Yi is resourceful, but in my opinion, he is just a fool. The whole Beifu Army was attracted by our bait boat and came directly on it. How can there be such a water battle? Commander, you can give the order and let General Guo and his son's second formation be dispatched. With only those thirty tower boats, they can destroy these small boats of the Beifu Army without fighting and directly ramming them. , they all crashed and sank!"
He Danzhi shook his head: "I don't think things are that simple. Maybe Liu Yi has some other plans. He sent an order to General Guo to continue to attack the enemy ships that rushed up. Now he continues to drop anchor and hold on to the river. He must not act rashly!"
Feng Gai frowned: "But what if the enemy's small boats come up and attack with fire? You know, during the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu used this trick to defeat Cao Cao. Our big ships were all parked in place, If you get too close, it will be troublesome if you get attacked by fire."
He Danzhi smiled and said: "Even if Zhou Yu defeated Cao Cao with fire, he would have to have a southeast wind. Setting fire in the wind is certainly spectacular and tragic, but if the wind blows against him, he will be hit with a rock. My own feet. Now that the west wind is strong, the enemy's charge will be greatly affected. How can it be possible to attack with fire? Don't worry, General Feng, you are good at land warfare, but there are few who know more about water warfare than me. . At this point, the enemy has absolutely no chance to attack with fire."
Feng Gai said "Oh" softly, and his eyes fell on the Fire Dragon: "But, the Beifu Army's Meng Chong ship is about to rush to the Fire Dragon. What if they jump on board? Really? Are you ignoring General Hu?"
He Danzhi sneered and said: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. All the Beijing thieves who attempt to attack the fire dragon ship will never come back!"
On the Fire Dragon, Hu Fan's eyes were shining. His left hand was tightly holding the Moon Chasing Bow. On the mast behind him, at the lookout post, a lookout soldier was shouting at the top of his lungs: "The enemy is facing us. The ship is two hundred steps away from me!"
"To the northwest on the port side, the enemy ship is one hundred and seventy steps away from me!"
"To the northeast on the starboard side, the enemy ship is one hundred and forty steps away from me!"
Hu Zhen was sweating nervously. Behind him, the trebuchets had thrown away all the stones. The strongmen who had just operated the trebuchets had already picked up long-handled weapons such as sledgehammers and iron rods. , together with the sword and shield fighters, were ready for a fight. On the river in front of the Fire Dragon, falling rocks were like raindrops. That was the Guo Quan fleet behind, constantly firing rocks, and from time to time there were flying stones. The battleship was hit by rocks and quickly swayed on the spot and sank. However, the remaining ships rushed faster and faster, even though the low hull had only one cabin, which was tightly sealed. In fact, there was not a single person in sight, but the high-speed rowing and uniform blades, the flying wheels at the rear of the ship, and the increasingly clear and audible rumble of war drums made the Fire Dragon board Everyone's heartbeat was racing and they were sweating all over.
Hu Zhen said in a trembling voice: "Commander Father, the enemy, the enemy has rushed within a hundred steps. Do we, do we want to shoot them to death with arrows?!"
Hu Fan said solemnly: "Don't you see? The enemy troops are all hidden in the cabin, and bows and arrows cannot hurt them. This is the Monchong ship. Now cut off the anchor. Our Fire Dragon cannot stop here. If you are passively beaten, rush forward and knock them down!"
Beifu Army, former army flagship, Feiyu.
This clipper ship, which looks the same as other Mengchong ships, is flashing back and forth. Three old sailors in their thirties, shirtless, with tattoos and shocking scars on their bodies, their feet I stepped on the turning wheel of the rear rudder, holding the stern rudder in my hand, sometimes stopping suddenly, sometimes stepping backwards, sometimes stepping hard, and this boat seemed to be spiritual, galloping back and forth on the river, with water splashing constantly on the side of the boat. There were splashes all around, which were ripples caused by falling rocks entering the water, but none of them could hit the clipper.
He Wuji looked back at the boatman behind him and said with a smile: "Daogui, these old Sanwu boatmen of yours are really amazing. This is the first time in my life that I have seen someone who can control a boat better than a horse." obedient."
Liu Daogui nodded: "If it weren't for these old boatmen, I wouldn't have dared to attack with you in the front army. Xile wants us to act according to the plan, let go of the Fire Dragon, and directly attack the second formation of enemy ships."
He Wuji smiled and said: "Okay, leave ten small boats to attack the Fire Dragon. Don't stop the other boats. All rush towards Guo Quan's fleet. Use our secret weapon while they haven't lifted anchor yet!"
Liu Daogui's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement: "I think if the soldiers of the Chu army today can still survive, they will definitely remember it for life."
Hu Fan opened his eyes wide and watched as more than twenty warships rushed past his side, less than ten feet apart. He could even see the warships on the opposite side rushing past his own ship. , in those small holes in the cabin, there are pairs of bright eyes.
Hu Zhen shouted excitedly: "Dad, the Jingba thieves did not attack us. They went towards General Guo and his rear formation."
Hu Fan gritted his teeth and said: "Asshole, this is because they have seen through our plan and know that this is not a real flagship. The danger has reached General Guo. What a joy! Give me more oars, speed up, and stop other enemy ships that want to rush over. Sink them!"
Before he finished speaking, suddenly, five oncoming ships rushed towards the warship. The roof suddenly opened, revealing the situation inside. On each ship, there were fifteen to twenty archers, bending their bows. He nocked an arrow and pointed it diagonally towards the sky. Almost the moment he revealed his body, all the sound of war drums suddenly stopped, and a burst of black arrows rose into the sky, hitting the wide space in front of the Fire Dragon from all directions. on the deck!
