Chapter 587 - Serial Scheme
Countless boats were put down, and the soldiers of the Xanadu Water Division got busy, carrying the firewood and other fire-starting things that had been prepared on the boat.
These boats are shaped like red horse boats, and the bow has iron spikes, which are very sharp. When it hits an enemy ship, the spike nails it into it and connects with the enemy.
Lu Yao overlooked below on the top deck of the flagship, and when he saw this, he knew it in his heart.
Lu Xun's choice was obviously a fire attack.
The sharpest of water battles is the fire attack. The army is above the vast river, and all it can rely on is the warship under its feet. If the fire attack fails, once it succeeds, it is the moment when the victory is decided.
In the battle of Chibi in history, Sun and Liu racked their brains to lay out, attracting Cao Cao to enter the palace and lay down a series of warships, but they were burned by Huang Gai to the earth, and the 800,000 army was almost wiped out. If it weren't for Guan Yu's thin-skinned and face-loving nature, Cao Cao would not have been able to escape back to the north, and history would have been rewritten.
However......
Lu Yao shook his head secretly. In history, Cao Cao was burned by a fire and lost a lot, which was the result of many factors. At present, although the Eastern Wu Navy Division has laid out an iron lock across the river, it is not like Cao Cao in history who connected the various warships with iron locks, and the shape is like a whole.
If you want to hide, you can definitely do, after all, it is not foggy at the moment, and the visibility under the blue sky and white clouds is quite high.
However, he didn't plan to disturb Lu Xun's command.
After a while, the dense boats were pushed out, and gradually accelerated along the rolling river. The weight of the various ignitions that are fully loaded makes the inertia of the boat even stronger.
At this time, Zhou Tai saw from afar that the Xanadu Sailor had released countless boats, which were full of unknown things, and immediately guessed that the Xanadu Sailor wanted to break through the encirclement with fire.
"Carving insect tricks." Zhou Tai calmly ordered.
The warships of the Soochow Naval Division began to move, each took anchor, and stretched out huge oars on both sides to row hard, and they were ready to avoid it early.
The heavy boat was thrust faster and faster by the boiling water, and at this moment, the sailors of the paradise also began to lift anchor and raise the sails to speed up.
Hundreds of warships started at the same time, slowly following behind many small boats and sailing towards the Soochow Naval Division. The distance between the two sides is no more than 1,000 meters.
Over there, Zhou Tai was not surprised to see the Xanadu sailor coming closely with many fireships. Fire attacks are terrible in water warfare, but someone needs to set them on fire. The Paradise sailor released an unmanned fireboat, and it was reasonable to follow suit.
At the sound of an order, the murderous aura on the warships of Eastern Wu suddenly rose. The Eastern Wu sailors stretched out their bows and arrows, and only waited for which fireships they had avoided before launching an offensive against the Xanadu sailors behind.
One hundred VS ten thousand
The Dongwu sailors are full of confidence and occupy an absolute advantage, if they can't stop King Zhuya, they can immediately jump off the boat and die cleanly.
Many small boats gradually increased their speed to the limit by taking advantage of the rolling river, like a fragmented arrow flying towards the large fleet of the Dongwu Naval Division.
The boat was menacing, and the Dongwu sailors had already prepared.
The ships were already in action at this time, and with the speed, it was more convenient to evade. Tens of thousands of small boats were like a school of small fish, submerged in the Eastern Wu Naval Division, except for a few limited by the lack of space to avoid left and right, or were hit by small boats by errors in judgment, most of the warships avoided safely.
Dozens of warships were nailed together by the fireboats, Zhou Tai didn't care, and immediately ordered to prepare to release arrows, dealing a heavy blow to the subsequent Xanadu sailors.
With a uniform bowstring pull, the warships of the Soochow Navy Division were overwhelmingly spread across the river, and the two wings faintly surrounded the inward, wanting to completely annihilate the Xanadu Sailor Division.
Lu Xun saw the Dongwu Sailor evading it from a distance, his little face turned red, and he waved his hand fiercely.
The flag waved, and black smoke rose from the decks of hundreds of warships. Hundreds of divine fire flying crows shaped like divine kites brought up billowing black smoke, drew an arc in the air, and roared and fell towards the Dongwu Sailors.
The Xanadu Water Division took the lead in launching an offensive, and Zhou Tai was not surprised at all. He had also heard that Xanadu City had such a water weapon as the Divine Fire Flying Crow, but now that he looked at it, it was nothing more than that.
The ship is wrecked, but the wreckage is still there, which can also have the effect of blocking the breakthrough of the Xanadu sailors. Huge ships, slightly narrow ships, neither of them are heavy. Collide head-on, and both sides have to be damaged.
Fight consumption, who is afraid of whom.
There was a boom. Most of the Divine Fire Flying Crows were killed by the Wu warship, and the small half fell into the river. When the Divine Fire Flying Crow landed on the enemy ship, it exploded the sawdust of the Soochow warship, and the deck became chaotic. Unfortunately, several warships were shot below the waterline and immediately flooded, causing chaos on the deck and a sharp drop in morale.
However, this loss was very small for the huge Soochow sailors.
Zhou Tai's face was calm, and he ordered each warship to evade it, and at the same time, the two wings of the Dongwu warship had already started, and the sails of the giant oars moved in unison, like a pair of giant hands hugging the oncoming Xanadu sailor.
"Ding, Lu Xun is proficient in launching characteristic surface warfare, and the speed of the warship is thirty percent."
Lu Yao suddenly received the system message and looked slightly surprised.
On the front is the main force of the Soochow Naval Division, hoarding thousands of warships, full of thickness. And your own side is still speeding up, with a posture of crashing headlong, what do you mean?
There was a slight shock under his feet, and the inertia brought about by the sudden acceleration made Lu Yao's body shake, and then the river wind blew in his face, and he could hardly look straight ahead.
The Xanadu Water Master all rushed forward, which was somewhat unexpected by Zhou Tai. He didn't expect the other party to be so brainless. Don't you know that with just a hundred warships, you will never be able to break through the large array composed of thousands of warships?
Why?
Zhou Tai frowned. The strange behavior of the Xanadu Water Master made him very uneasy, and he always felt as if something had been ignored by himself.
"Fireship!"
Zhou Tai suddenly recalled the fireships that had been avoided, and suddenly changed color. The ships avoided the fireships in the first place, and the fireships were piled up with real fire-starters.
It's a pity that it's too late.
Lu Xun was calm, holding the fence with one hand, and waved his little hand downward.
The warships immediately dispersed, forming a long snake formation, and greeted the Dongwu Naval Division. In the next second, black smoke rose from the deck again.
"Not good!" Zhou Tai saw black smoke rising from the warship opposite, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Hit the trick!
From the beginning, the opposing coach did not intend to die, everything was for the present.
Zhou Tai's face turned pale, and his lips trembled unconsciously.
First, he released the fireship with a high profile, so that he misjudged that it was just an ordinary fireattack tactic, adjusted the Dongwu warship, and opened the gap between the warships to avoid these fireships, and then the Shenhuo Flying Crow launched, disrupting the local warship action, resulting in the inevitable collision between the Dongwu warship and the fireship, and more warships were glued by the fireboat.
Now the momentum is rushing towards us, precisely to complete the final stroke of the entire layout.
The dragon cannonball fell with black smoke, and the sparks that splashed in an instant ignited many Soochow warships, and also ignited the surrounding fireships.
The sea of fire was filled, and the hundreds of warships of the Xanadu Sailor Division brazenly crashed into the Dongwu Sailors.
