Chapter 520: The Battle of Xiangyang (1)
In the first month, the cold wind is like a knife, and in addition to their fleet, there are only a few small fishing boats on the surface of the Han River. The fishermen www.biquge.info the fishermen saw the overlapping sails from afar, and they hurriedly rocked their boats into the reeds of the nearby harbor, casting frightened glances from their hiding places. A few sand gulls flew swiftly through the air, and when they suddenly fell and rose, a little more shining silver scales appeared on the side of their beaks.
Qiu Ming sat comfortably on the deck, proudly watching Guo Jia lying on the side of the board and vomiting over the river, and said happily: "Fengxiao, your body is too weak, you should pay attention to exercising more." ”
Dian Wei got out of the cabin and said: "The southerners are good at boats, and the northerners are good at horses, this is nature, and it is not because of the lack of exercise. Look at those mediocre mercenaries, their bodies are much stronger than Guo Jia's, and they vomit even more than him, and now the cabin is full of that unpleasant smell, and they can hardly stay. ”
Qiu Ming smiled, this black guy has traveled south and north since he was a child, and he doesn't know how the water is like, at least he walks on the deck as usual, but he can't see the slightest sign of seasickness. He was about to say something, but Xiao Liu's fat body flashed out of nowhere: "It's about to arrive in Xiangyang, you have to get ready." ”
Qiu Ming was stunned and said, "Ready? What preparation? Do you want to go ashore to send a message to Wang Tingshi? ”
Su Fei stretched out half of his face from the helm room and said: "There are warships in Xiangyang, although Cai Mao himself is now far behind by us, but the naval army he personally trained still has strong combat effectiveness. If there is a war, I am afraid that there will be many bumps on the ship, and some people will fall into the water, so you had better take refuge in the cabin in advance. ”
Dian Wei shook his head and shouted, "Hide in the cabin? I'm not going, I'd rather fall into the water and drown than go into the cabin and be smoked to death by them, and besides, if you fight, I'm sure I'll help. ”
Xiangyang, known as Jincheng Soup Pool, is a place where soldiers must fight. When the tall city wall slowly unfolded from far and near, continuous war drums sounded in front of me, and then a dozen or so warships were seen lined up in two columns on the river, and the tallest ship in the middle had a red king's flag fluttering on the bow.
Su Fei walked out of the wheelhouse: "Wang Ziqi, it is the banner of Wang Wei, the captain of the Navy Academy, this person is well versed in the method of water warfare, but he is a strong opponent." ”
When they boarded Su Fei's ship in the early autumn and Ming Dynasty, they were still surprised that they could get such a large cargo ship, which could accommodate people and horses in the cabin, and there was still a lot of space. But when he saw the warship in front of him, he was even more surprised. These dozen or so ships are all bows like a spatula, covered with iron felt, and the deck is as wide as a stadium, on which there are three floors of heavy buildings, and the spears are densely covered with flags, like a fortress in the water. He couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Wang Wei's building ship is so powerful, can we beat it?" ”
Su Fei smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have been fighting with Wang Wei for several years, and we are not afraid of them on the water." If they hadn't done anything on land, we wouldn't have been forced into hiding incognito. But today we just need to rush through this waterway, there is no need to fight with them, let's have a good time with him next time." ”
Before the words fell, I only listened to the drum sound on the opposite side became rapid and excited, and then the belly of the building boat opened, and more than 100 small boats were rowed out from it, densely packed like a carp crossing the river floating on the water, filling the entire Han River to the brim.
