Lu Meng held the sword on his waist, and ordered to the generals with a straight face: "Tomorrow the fourth watch will make dinner, and the army will attack the public security water village at the time of the hour, and you will rest tonight, raise your spirit, and within three days, you will definitely capture the public security water village!" ”

"No!" When the generals heard this, they surrendered their hands and took orders.

At the fourth watch of the next day, before dawn, the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army got up to prepare breakfast, and the meal was ready at the fifth watch, and the soldiers rested for half an hour after eating, and then it was the time of the hour.

Subsequently, Lü Meng left 3,000 people to guard the camp, led 12,000 soldiers, boarded a warship and went to the public security water village.

On the river, the Jiangdong warships took up a position under the command of Lu Meng.

At the forefront, there are dozens of boats and fighting ships.

This type of warship is small in size, and many oars are on board, so it is light and fast.

Lü Meng arranged the boats and fighting ships in front, and the soldiers on the ships were equipped with swords, guns, and shields, which were used as assault troops to seize the water village.

After the boat, there is a boat.

This was followed by large warships such as the Hazy Chong, each of which carried hundreds of soldiers and hoarded a large amount of ordnance.

If the fighting ship in front is killed, the soldiers on the boat are killed, and the soldiers above the hazy rush can take a small boat to land on the boat and fight the ship to replenish the combat effectiveness.

Its warship is also equipped with a women's wall, and soldiers can also hide behind the women's wall and use bows and arrows to suppress the Jingzhou soldiers in the water village.

At the back of the procession was a huge building ship, which was the main ship of Jingzhou.

The building ship was five stories high, and Lu Meng was located on the highest floor of the building ship, condescending, personally commanding the battle.

The fleet soon arrived in front of the Jiangdong Water Village.

The soldiers on the ship, holding shields as cover, the husband rowed hard, and the warship was like an arrow from the string, heading straight for the water village.

"The Jiangdong Army has shield soldiers to cover, don't release arrows for the time being, save arrows, and when it is close, attack it with fire oil!"

"The archers shoot the rear hazy rush with strong bows and crossbows, and the shield soldiers pay attention to cover!"

Ma Jian stood on the high platform in the middle of the village, commanding unhurriedly.

Walking away, the fighting ship soon approached the water village, and the soldiers on the boat calculated the distance, and they were about to rush up and land on the water village to fight.

Seeing this, Ma Jian immediately ordered: "Throw fire oil at me and release rockets!" ”

The soldiers listened to the order and threw the prepared canisters of fire oil towards the warships of the Jiangdong Army.

The clay pot broke, the warship was suddenly full of oil, rockets were fired, and the Jiangdong warship was immediately on fire.

"Fetch water to put out the fire!" However, the Jiangdong side had already prepared, and the boat had already carried buckets, and when the fire broke out, the soldiers immediately took water to extinguish the fire.

It's just that when the fire is extinguished, the soldier's formation is inevitably chaotic, and the fire is burning beside him, who can hold a shield to defend indifferently?

"Shoot me the arrows!"

Seeing this, Ma Tan immediately gave the order to release the arrows.

The soldiers of the Jingzhou Army immediately loosened the bowstring that had been tightened.

Chirp tweet!

The sound of breaking the air sounded, and a dense stream of arrows was fired at the Jiangdong Army, which was in a hurry to extinguish the fire, and despite the shield guards, it was inevitable that some soldiers would be hit by arrows.

The fire was quickly extinguished, but under the arrow attack of the Jingzhou army, the soldiers on dozens of warships were killed and wounded.

However, these casualties could not stop the Jiangdong soldiers and horses from attacking, and the soldiers held shields to block bows and arrows, and began to loot the water village with knives and guns.

The soldiers on the water village also fought with the Jiangdong army with swords and guns on the edge of the village to prevent the Jiangdong army from landing.

"Give me arrows to suppress!" Lü Meng led the fleet to arrive, and when he saw this, he asked the soldiers who rushed up to suppress the Jingzhou army with arrows to cover the soldiers who had robbed the water village.

For a time, the sky above the water village was like arrows. The soldiers on both sides started a game of archery, and the sky above the water village seemed to be surrounded by dense locusts.

On the high platform in the water village, the sound of war drums shook the sky, and the building boat where Lu Meng was also remembered the heavy sound of war drums.

The soldiers fought each other in close quarters, and the shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth.

Ma Tan and Lu Meng, one in the water village and the other in the building boat, constantly commanding the soldiers.

One offense, one defense.

The soldiers compete in combat effectiveness.

And Ma Tan and Lu Meng are competing for the ability to command.

Ma Jian stood on the high platform in the village, looked at Lu Meng on the opposite boat, and said secretly in his heart: "You are not Wuxia Ameng, I am Ma Tan, and I am not the Ma Jian of Jiangling at the beginning, today, you and I will fight it out, I want the world to know, I Ma Tan, not only on paper!" ”

In fact, Ma Jian is very similar to Lu Meng.

Lu Meng has some very rich practical experience, but he doesn't know how to read and study.

Ma Yan, on the other hand, has read too many books, only knows how to talk on paper, and has no actual combat experience.

Under the persuasion of Sun Quan, Lü Meng began to study and made up for his own shortcomings, while Ma Jian was trained in the army under the guidance of Liu Chan and accumulated rich combat experience.

However, the real commanding ability of the two is still stronger than Lu Meng, after all, Lu Meng began to study a few years ago, and he has been in the army for more than 20 years and has rich combat experience. Although Ma Jian is extraordinary, he has only been in the army for one year, and his combat experience is not as great as that of Lu Meng.

The reason why Gan Ning was able to defeat yesterday was because Gan Ning underestimated the enemy.

And today's Shuizhai defensive battle will really test Ma Tan's command ability.

If it is on the battlefield and fighting in the field, Ma Jian is only afraid that he is not Lu Meng's opponent, but now it is a defensive battle. Ma Tan's current commander's ability is not as good as that of Lu Meng, but after all, he is on the defensive side, relying on the defensive settings established in advance in Shuizhai, occupying a defensive advantage.

In siege warfare, there is a saying that it is attacked five times and surrounded ten times.

And the water village is like a water city.

Ma Tan has 5,000 soldiers and horses, and Lü Meng only has 12,000 soldiers and horses.

What's more, attacking on the water with a warship is not easy to move, unlike the freedom of movement on land, which is more difficult.

Ma Jian had a defensive advantage, and Lu Meng had an advantage in numbers, so this battle of defense in Shuizhai formed a stalemate for a while.

Even since Lü Meng's side was the attacking side, the casualties of the soldiers were greater.

The time soon came to evening, and after a day of onslaught, the Jiangdong Army still found nothing.

The soldiers were exhausted, and Lü Meng could only lead his troops back to the camp.

On the boat, Lu Meng looked at the Jiangdong Water Village opposite, his face was solemn!

This war is more difficult than imagined!

Beside Lu Meng, a general said to Lu Meng: "General, this Ma Yan's ability is not weak, our army attacked for a day, but it couldn't kill Shuizhai, but lost hundreds of people." How that should be? ”

Lu Meng sighed and said: "I can only storm onslaught, now the competition is endurance, see who can't survive first, after a long time, the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou can't stand up, and there will be reinforcements coming." ”

One of the generals beat a drum in his heart and said, "What if we can't stand it? ”
