The pigeon flew south, and the five-oared warship that disappeared into the lake paddled up and down, and sailed forward at a high speed. Three-, four-, five-oar...... Even up to the forty-oars (a forty-oared battleship that has never been driven is considered by most researchers to be a catamaran), the number of oarsmen is being spoken, not the number of oars.

Five-oared warships are longer, wider, and heavier than three-oared warships, and belong to heavy warships. This type of battleship is a common type of ship in the Mediterranean, with ninety oars on one side, thirty in each row, one hundred and fifty oarsmen on one side, and the whole ship does not include spare oarsmen, a total of three hundred oarsmen. The number of soldiers in charge of broadside battles was about 100, and at most times it reached 120.

On the other hand, there were only 81 oars on one side of the three-oared warship, 27 oars in each row, 162 oarsmen and 30 soldiers on the broadside, with a total length of 37 meters, a width of 5 meters, and a displacement of 45 tons. Compared with the three-oared battleship, the four-oared battleship not only had one more row of oarsmen on the left and right, the width of the ship was increased by 0.6 meters, and the oars in each row were also increased by three, reaching 30 oars of the five-oar; The number of soldiers increased to seventy-five, and the drainage was sixty tons. Both belong to the category of light warships and are generally used in conjunction with five-oared warships.

The single-row warships of the Chu army, that is, the old large-wing warships, are similar to the single-row warships in the Mediterranean, but the new large-wing, pawn-wing warships, and strengthened pawn-wing warships are very different from the Mediterranean warships.

Considering that there are many rivers in the south, some rivers are relatively narrow, inconvenient to turn, and the keel is scarce, so the new wing has only 20 oars per row, three rows on the left and right, the whole ship is 120 oars, and the ship is 27 meters long;

Although the number of oars per row is five more than that of the new large wing, it is only back to the twenty-five in each row of the old large wing, and the whole ship can accommodate 250 oarsmen and 60 armorers. In order to accommodate the oarsmen, the battleship was widened, but its length was still not long, only thirty-two meters;

The reinforced winged warships increased the number of oars per row to twenty-seven oars, eighty-one on each side, and one hundred and sixty-two for the whole ship, with two hundred and seventy oarsmen. The ship is thirty-seven meters long, six meters wide, and has a displacement of sixty tons. The deck can be equipped with horses and armored soldiers, and the armor soldiers are generally less than 100 people.

All in all, Mediterranean warships are mainly active in the oceans, and their specific function is to fight; The Chu army's warships are mainly active in rivers, and the warboats are also attached to a transportation function in addition to the battle, in order to quickly assemble and mobilize the army, which is also the reason why the Chu army's warships will not be built too long, and the longest is the reinforced wing of 37 meters.

As the opponent of the Chu army, the Qin army naturally knew everything about the Chu army's war boats, but it was not Hou Spy who let them figure out the specific configuration of the Chu army's war boats, but Tian Pu, the son of Tian Widow, the general of the Qi State Boat Division.

Two years ago, in order to transport the Zhao people out of the port for fishing boats, Chu Qi fought a naval battle outside Zhifu Port, Tian Widow was killed in battle, and his bones were gone, and from that day on, Tian Pu was determined to avenge his father. His understanding of the Chu army's war boats is much deeper than that of the Captain's Mansion, Zhao Ying and others. Due to the additional transportation requirements of the Chu army's warships, the heaviest reinforced winged warships had a displacement of only 60 tons, while the Qin army's newly built five-oarled large-wing warships reached 100 tons, and the number of oars was eighteen more than that of the reinforced warships.

In order to transport the troops of the first army, the Chu army did not build more reinforced wings, and the main force was the ordinary wing of the pawn, which had thirty fewer oars than the five-oared wing; The earliest new type of large wing of the Chu army, its number of oars is sixty less than that of the five-oar wing, and it is one person and one oar. One oars for one person is naturally not as powerful as two oars, and the sprint is not as long as two oars.

Tian Pu, who defected to the Qin State and hoped to take revenge on the Qin State, learned very late that the Qin State had also built a large-wing warship, and he only entered the forbidden area this month to see the five-oarled wings of the Qin State. In addition to seeing the warboats, he also saw that the upper reaches of the river had turned into a lake.

Since the winter of the previous year, the Qin State has built a dam in the upper reaches of the river, and the dam was built in the place called Shimenguan in later generations, the dam is only more than 50 zhang long, more than 20 zhang wide, and 15 zhang high. The water meanders through here, and the dams here run not east-west, but north-south. The gushing water hits the rock walls on the side of the dam, not the dam body.

As soon as the dam was built at Shimenguan, the water level of the river was immediately raised for nearly 100 miles in the upper reaches of the river, and the lock was built on the Qinling Mountains, and the water that originally flowed to the south actually flowed into the Weishui to the north - the Qin State in this era was beyond the reach of all countries in the world in terms of water control and infrastructure, and such a magnificent project was completed in less than two years.

It took about three hours for the five-oared warship that crossed the Qinling Mountains to row to the Shimenguan Dam. By the light of the stars and the lights on the water, the battleship rowed extremely fast, but twenty miles away from the dam, the whole ship could only slow down in order to avoid the battleships moored here. Except for Zhao Ying, the general of the boat division, no one knew how many warships there were in the dam area, and no one dared to count the number of warships when the battleships passed by.

The battleship docked, and the boat officials rushed to Zhao Ying's sleeping tent with the king's order, and soon the shogunate sounded the drums.

"On the king's order, our army will immediately attack the Jing people!" Zhao Ying was covered in armor in the big curtain. The order to go to war was exactly what he requested.

"The last general respectfully obeys the order!" He announced the king's command, and the generals present shouted excitedly.

"Good! In this battle, the Jing people will be defeated, and our army will be victorious! "There is no need for a military discussion at all, and the military discussion has been discussed countless times. Zhao Ying was satisfied with the morale of the generals, and he said: "Before the faint has passed, we will quickly order Daoyi to pull up the sinking boat, and the soldiers and soldiers in front of Pingdan must board the boat, and our army will go straight down the river." ”

"The last general respectfully obeys the order!" The generals shouted again, as if they were about to break through the shogunate.

After gathering the generals, the generals returned to the camp in a small boat, and at this time, a fire had already burned on the high mountains on both sides of Shimen Pass. Therefore, Daoyi was more than ten miles ahead, and not long after the fire on the mountain was ignited, Meng Tian, who had been sleeping peacefully in the city, was immediately woken up.

"Fire?" The Chu army would attack the city at any time, and Meng Tian was so worried about how to defend it that he forgot what the fire meant for a while.

He didn't know, but Meng Heng knew that he came to wake up Meng Tian when he heard the news. "The general should be the ...... of the Zhizhou Division"

"Ahh The word boat master quickly made Meng Tian sober up, and he hurriedly said, "Quickly pull away the sinking boat!" Quickly pull away the sunken boat ......"

Unlike the sinking boat in Lingguan Gorge, the sinking boat in Daoyi can be pulled apart, and Meng Tian immediately ordered the sinking boat to be opened.

"General Yu, I have ordered someone to pull the sinking boat away." Qi Brown entered the tent with Meng Heng, and he didn't know what to do next.

"Then it'll be fine. It was ordered that there would be great water in the battalions tonight, and that there should be no need to panic. Meng Tian groaned, and he fell down again without waking up.

"Will the Boat Master attack the Jing people tonight? What should our army do? Qi Brown asked uneasily.

"The boat division will attack the Qin people, and our army can sit idly by." Meng Tian yawned. That's all the Governor's Mansion gave him, and didn't want him to participate in water warfare. Seeing Qi Brown standing in a haze and not wanting to leave, he said again: "If General Qi wants to be promoted, he can attack thirty miles downstream......"

Before Meng Tian finished speaking, he snored, and his so-called thirty miles downstream was the Chu army that went down the mountain east after attacking Yuanhu Mountain. Tonight, the old Daoyi waterway opened the sinking boat, the Shimen Pass broke the dam and discharged the flood, and the ark division would go down the river after dawn to attack the Chu army. Once the Chu army is completely defeated, this Chu army, which cannot advance or retreat, will be the fish and meat slaughtered by the people on the case.

Meng Tian fell into a deep sleep, and Qi Brown withdrew from the big tent with a suspicious face. His rank is not as high as Meng Tian, and he does not know how his Ark Division will fight. Thinking that the Chu army thirty miles downstream was not numerous, he also summoned his generals to lead the army to discuss when he retreated to his camp.

Therefore, thirty miles downstream of Daoyi, Chu Ying, at night with the Yue people will lead a banquet and drink, and Lu Gao, who is sleeping peacefully with Ba Nu in his arms, is sleeping. In recent days, he has found a place to use, and under his planning, the Chu army successfully captured Yuanhu Mountain, and successfully found the way down the mountain to Chushui, and returned to the rear of the Qin army, and also got a beautiful concubine.

The Langzhongba people are not really barbarians, but they don't practice Zhou etiquette. Once a woman identifies as a man, she will also start from the beginning, unlike the Yue Nu who marries. His ears and temples have been torn for almost half a month, and he is becoming more and more satisfied with this concubine, and even thinks about whether he should marry any princess, and the daughter of the chief is also very good.

Happiness in the day, sweetness in the sleep. Lu Gao, who was asleep, dreamed that Ba Nu was pregnant with her own child, and her belly was getting bigger and bigger day by day. But for some reason, the girl who was pregnant with his child suddenly ran away, and he chased over the mountains and mountains, and finally chased to the water's edge. Ba Nu jumped into the water, he jumped into the water too, and then ......, when he opened his eyes, he found that he was really in the water.

"Water! The water ......, grunt..."Everything in the military tent floated, and Lu Gao shouted, and the water poured directly into his throat. I couldn't see anything in the darkness, only the sound of the raging water and the cries for help outside the tent. He kept his mouth shut, and was about to get out of the tent when he realized that his woman was gone.

After groping under the water for a while, he didn't touch anything, and he couldn't hold his breath, so he could only float up. When I wanted to get into the water again, Lu Chan's voice came from outside the tent, "Rescue the fake king, rescue the fake king......"

"Why the water?" Lu Gao was quickly dragged out of the sleeping tent, and under the moonlight, he saw countless Chu soldiers fluttering in the water, and there was a sound of water. The neat military tents have long since disappeared, but fortunately, the soldiers of the Yue Shi stationed here are accustomed to sleeping on the war boats, which are now fishing for people on the water like an ocean.

"How do I know why the water is so big?" Lu Chan's voice was very aggrieved, "The camp has been erected on a high place. ”

"Not good!" It was almost October, and the river was already very cold. Lu Gao's teeth trembled when he was immersed in the water, but his thinking was not dull. "This is the dam built by the Qin people upstream, and now the dam is broken and the water is attacking me."

"So what?" Lu Chan was not drunk, and there was no concubine in the tent, and he woke up as soon as the flood came.

"Go up the mountain, the Qin people want to come!" Thirty miles to the north is the old Daoyi, and this water is released by Mengtian. Now that the water has been released, a large army will attack at dawn. Their own side was washed by the water, and all the grain, baggage, armor, and artillery were lost, and these two divisions and one brigade were definitely not Meng Tian's opponents.
