The wind on the river is fierce.
Tong Du, standing on the building boat, with his tiger-shaped cloak flying and the sound of golden leather clanking, is quite high-spirited.
"So what if we avoided the fire boat! I, the Cangzhou navy, am the best in the world! Thirteen large ships are ready to go! My sons, follow me, Tong Du, to defeat the Shu army!"
The Cangzhou navy formed an arc-moon formation. On top of the swaying hull, groups of Cangzhou river bows faced the blowing river wind, raising their iron bows and preparing for battle.
On the fire crossbow boat hidden in the group of ships, many crossbowmen began to wrap the fire oil cloth on the crossbow arrowheads, preparing to shoot flatly.
"Thieves in common clothes, you have offended my Muyun Prefecture! Please enter the jar and die!"
Tong Du drew out his long sword, faced the river wind, and pointed in the direction from which the Shuzhou Navy was rushing.
"We are the righteous soldiers of the country. We serve the imperial court and kill the rebels. It is our duty to do so!"
…
Xu Mu closed his eyes coldly. In front of him, he could vaguely make out the Cangzhou Navy, which was waiting in full formation, a large area of darkness.
Throughout the ages, city defense battles and water battles have been the most brutal battles. Take a water battle as an example. If it gets into a fierce battle, it will inevitably be the fate of getting on the side of the ship. Both sides will fight to the death until the ship is destroyed and everyone is killed.
"Lord, the wind is strong and unavoidable. We and the Cangzhou navy can only fight on this river." Dongfang Jing said in a deep voice.
"Of course I know."
After clenching his fist, Xu Mu touched the hilt of the sword and pulled out the sword with a clang.
If he remembered correctly, this long sword was given to him by an old official before Wangzhou fell.
The old official said that if there was peace in the world, he would return it to Wangzhou Guanfang's arsenal.
But when will there be peace in this world?
The blood of a dead person still has residual heat. Those who are alive, those who work hard, must follow the will of their ancestors and create a peaceful world.
"I would like to ask the world, have you ever heard of the aspirations of the people of Shu! Wearing strong armor and armed with sharp swords, they are like soldiers from heaven descending to earth. They are so brave that they cannot be matched!"
"Everyone, please follow me and kill the pigs and dogs in Cangzhou!"
Wei Xiaowu stood on the high platform of the building, wearing bright armor, roaring and waving the Xu flag.
The Xu flag flutters in the wind.
Behind, to the left and to the left, there were the sounds of Shu soldiers roaring.
Under the drum sails, 40,000 Shuzhou navy, with the shield boat as the lead, roared towards the Cangzhou navy in front.
"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win." Dongfang looked forward admiringly, his tone extremely calm.
…
"Fight--"
Tong Du gritted his teeth and pointed his sword forward.
The sky was full of flying arrows and fire crossbows, covering the sky and the moon, shooting at the rushing Shuzhou Navy.
The first shield ship to rush to the front line was not repelled by the flying arrows thanks to the iron sheet, and even the sparks of the fire crossbows did not hit even a single spark.
"Raise your shield——"
On the Shuzhou warships one after another, the various generals and captains ordered their headquarters to raise their shields to block the flying arrows.
The Shuzhou archer with his bow on his back, under the cover of his shield, also pulled out the bowstring and threw a wave of flying arrows, which shot into the arc-moon formation of the Cangzhou Navy.
As you came and went, the whole sky seemed to darken all of a sudden.
Soldiers on both sides were hit by arrows, and the sound of "plop" and "plop" falling into the water could be heard one after another.
boom.
The first shield ship faced several Cangzhou battleships rushing towards them, causing water to splash on the river. The huge plow of the shield ship, like a sharp sword, stabbed a Cangzhou battleship in front, causing the ship to break and sink into the river.
"Starting stick!"
Kaka.
On both sides of the shield ship's hull, two huge poles were pulled up at once. When more than ten soldiers let go, the poles smashed down hard, with the force of a collapse of a mountain, knocking down another Cangzhou Dou on the side. The ship was so smashed that it capsized, and more than a dozen Cangzhou boatmen jumped into the river in shock.
But before he could swim far, densely packed flying arrows fell down and turned into pools of blood.
"Go on, stop the Shuzhou navy for me!"
Tong Du was shocked and angry, and kept giving orders.
It's a pity that the fire boat plan didn't work, otherwise, where would the Shu people have the confidence?
Shuzhou's navy rushed closer and closer, and under the cover of the shield ship's front formation, they began to break into Cangzhou's Arc Moon Formation.
A Shuzhou warship caught fire, and the captain and soldiers on the ship were unable to escape. Even if they fell into the water, they could not escape the fate of being killed by arrows.
Looking up, there were more and more floating corpses on both sides of the river. The smell of blood in the entire river section made people's noses sore.
"Push the heavy crossbow and shoot these Cangzhou dogs to death!"
There were not many heavy crossbows made by Chen Datie and his men. There were more than a hundred heavy crossbows in the 40,000-strong navy, but their power was extremely terrifying. The huge crossbow bolt penetrated and went away. If the shot was accurate, the enemy ship would soon rock and enter the water, and then slowly sink into the river.
"Damn it, hurry up, use the hook to resist, and engage in a boarding battle with the Shu people!"
Tong Du's orders were issued at all levels. One after another, the Cangzhou warships formed an increasingly chaotic formation. Whether they were stern warships or large-scale warships, they all rushed forward.
With the madness of many Cangzhou soldiers, the hooks, which were ten feet long, kept getting stuck on the hull of the Shu ship, and they were pulled forward with all their strength. As soon as they got closer, they immediately boarded the pontoon bridge, raised their swords and shields and stepped on the pontoon bridge to kill them.
"The advantage lies with our army." Dongfang Jing stared ahead, "The enemy uses hooks, but my lord can use them to resist."
The hook is rejected, the hook is rejected, and it can be hooked or evidenced. It is generally used as a hook for ships, but it can also be used to get stuck in position and push enemy ships away.
What Dongfang Jing said was not wrong. Now in terms of bow fighting, with the heavy crossbow, the advantage is not even the slightest.
"push--"
Following the roar of a Shuzhou general, he quickly pushed away the approaching enemy ship with a long hook.
Before the other side could charge forward again, the serial crossbowmen on the Shu ship fired waves of crossbow bolts through the gap between the shields.
The Cangzhou soldiers who fell into the river shouted in horror. But before he could shout a few times, the crossbow bolt was fired, piercing his body and head, and sank into the river.
"Common thief, you are like a rat in a warehouse, scared out of your wits!" Tong Du cursed several times in succession, but Tong Du still did not forgive his hatred.
He boasted that he was proficient in water warfare, but now, he was blocked by his opponent.
"General, our army has suffered heavy losses!" General Youbi came running with a look of anxiety on his face.
In fact, there is no need for General Bi to announce it, Tong Du can see it clearly. The Shuzhou navy, which did not want to engage in a side battle with him, relied on long-range shots and became more and more courageous in killing.
In fact, many Cangzhou soldiers on board were so frightened that they jumped into the river and tried to swim to the shore.
"I used the iron rope across the river to trap Shuzhou Navy here. But now it seems that Tong Du has trapped himself."
"I said earlier that when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. The truly elite navy in Cangzhou is not here. This General Tong Du has really underestimated my lord and me, Shuzhou."
Dongfang Jing paused for a moment.
"Lord, it's time. Change rejection to hook. The enemy's defeat is complete, and we can start a boarding battle."
"As Bo Lie said, that's exactly what he meant."
Just waiting for Xu Mu's order, the Shuzhou navy, which had already been holding its breath, after approaching the enemy ship, changed its refusal to hook and hooked the enemy ship forward.
Tong Du did not let his navy retreat, with a look of madness on his face, "Get on board and fight with him, kill the Shu people!"
…
"He also knows that there is no way to retreat." Dongfang Jing laughed, "In this world, those who stand in the way of the Lord's great cause will eventually disappear."
This sentence is very domineering and seems like a rainbow fart.
But... Xu Mu felt very comfortable listening.
