Chapter 181: The Gathering of the Storm (Part II)

After a few days, Gangneung welcomed distinguished guests.

Wu Wang Wei Yue went out to greet him, and it was Chu Marquis Zheng Pingyuan who came, and naturally there were also generals of the Chu army's naval division.

In Jiangling City, Wei Yue had a secret conversation with Zheng Pingyuan, and finally reached a consensus.

It is to jointly launch a big water war against the Shu army.

Therefore, it was decided to fight a quick battle, but it was actually because the situation waited for no one, and the 100,000-strong army was mobilizing, and it came after a few days, and there was no time to slow down.

After reaching a consensus, Zheng Pingyuan returned to his camp to deploy.

Wu Wang Wei made preparations as early as possible, and he only waited for a battle.

The next morning, before the sky was fully light, the river was already full of fleets.

At this time in the early morning of September 29, the sixteenth year of Chuizheng, the summer has gone, the autumn has been thick, the sky has been bright, the river is filled with a layer of mist, the wind and waves are slightly rising, close to an estuary, a huge water village has been built.

Wang Hongyi looked over on the high platform of the water village, and saw that the opposite side was faintly heavy in the distance, full of fleets, it was really full of sails, and the battleships covered the river, very grand, and couldn't help but change color slightly, only by being in the scene, could we understand what a huge fleet this meant.

Almost at the same time, the surrounding soldiers were all nervous, and some even clenched their fists tightly.

This can be understood, the water war was lost, although the counties in Jingbei were difficult to protect, even if Xiangyang was guarded, they were passively beaten and difficult to progress.

"Where is the Grand Governor?"

"The minister is here!" At this time, Lu Suhai responded and stood on the ground, looking solemn and resolute.

"The enemy ships are attacking in a big way, and the decisive battle with our army will be a decisive battle, and Lone will set up a large camp in the water village here, and there will be supplies in it, and Lone will sit here. ”

"In this battle, Lone ordered you to use Tao Lei, you must know that this method can only be used once, Lone hopes that you can make a contribution and completely defeat the Wu Chu coalition army. ”

The original weapon on the water was the Terret, which was an enlarged version of the hand fire mine, but it was fired with a simplified version of the trebuchet and dropped on the enemy ship.

This kind of pottery mine is huge, weighs about ten catties, once it hits the enemy ship, it will "boom" and explode, the power is far above the hand fire mine, but the ancient oil is insufficient, the price of oil bombs is very high, and the savings of Shu for a year are only a thousand oil bombs, and most of them were used up at once in Xiangyang, and now there are only three hundred.

Last time, it was originally shipped directly to Zhang Fan, but it was not used, so it can be left until now.

This can only be used as a miracle, because once the enemy knows about it, using a large number of rockets, your own ship will become a hell of flames, so it is indispensable.

"Yes, raising soldiers for a thousand years, using soldiers for a while, the lord has been raising a water trainer for so long, just for today, the ministers will swear to die to revenge, and the lord will break the strong enemy. ”

"Thank you, Governor!" Lu Suhai heard this, and his eyes also showed a hint of joy slightly.

The power of this water taurle is understood.

"Either you break the enemy army, or the enemy army breaks my water village - our victory or defeat will be handed over to the Grand Governor. Wang Hongyi said slowly, and untied the sword on his body: "You order the whole army with this, if there is anyone who does not obey, immediately cut it down!"

"No!" Lu Suhai responded, first bowing uprightly, and after kowtowing, he raised his hand to take the long sword.

A moment later, the horn sounded, and a continuous sound came, drawing everyone's attention to the river.

I saw that on the vast river, at the mouth of the water village, a large number of fleets had poured out.

This is a huge naval division of 200 ships, while the enemy, with 300 ships, is tall and large, and can carry more sailors, and against their background is a raging river.

The sun rises in the sky, shining on the earth, the river is shining with sunlight, and the golden light is flashing.

After receiving this order, there was a group of fifty warships, forming a line of arrows, and almost at the same time, the other side formed a fan, forming a formation of encirclement and interception, killing each other.

This is due to the difference in guidelines between the two militaries.

The Shu Naval Division relied on small boats, firearms, and speed, and to practice the "water cavalry and shooting tactics," it was necessary to display linear arrows, while the Wu Chu Naval Division, with large and tall boats, practiced the tactics of encircling and intercepting and cutting off halfway.

On each command ship, there is a regular and rhythmic abnormal sound, one after another, this is the war drum.

Wang Hongyi looked from a distance in the sky, and saw that the original warship had approached, approaching a distance of three hundred paces, and at this moment, he saw the Shu army waving the flag.

"The ship turns the rudder!"

The ship immediately deviated from the opposite course.

"Erection of iron plates!"

Suddenly, the iron plate on the side of the board was solemnized.

Almost at the same time, the enemy ships were also ordering: "Kamito Shield!"

A large number of sword and shield soldiers were transferred to the ship, and they held their shields high, raised on the side to the left and right, forming a group of defenses, and almost at the same time, archers and crossbow archers, all ready, this is to deal with the fire "stone thrower!"

"Go to the Taurets!" There were only three Taurets on each ship, and the original Thunderbolt Battalion was specially transferred, and the people who were good at shooting catapults were loaded, and they were all waiting in silence at this time.

Seeing that the distance had been reached, the captain gave an order: "Launch!"

The fuse ignited, fluttered towards the torlei, and almost simultaneously, the three torlays rose into the air together, drew three lines in the sky, and fell.

One grazed the side of the ship, fell into the water, and before it could fall into the water, it detonated.

The "boom" fire exploded, and a large amount of oil fire fell, and a piece of wood chips on the side of the ship flew one after another, and sparks were everywhere, but most of them fell to the water.

One fell into the water and muffled in the water.

Another hit the deck of the enemy ship, and only a "boom" was heard.

This explosion, even across the ship, felt the vibration, in the dawn of the sun, a force exploded deeply, countless traces of blood and flames, flying out.

Warriors and armor were left to crumble under this force, and the flames raged.

The first time they encountered such an attack, the enemy sailors screamed one after another, and within a moment, black smoke filled the air and set on fire.

Many of the soldiers, with severe burn marks, screamed hoarsely, and on the deck, like a group of madmen bombing the camp in panic.

"Ready, shoot!" At this time, the shields that had been standing on the enemy ship naturally no longer existed, and the ship woke up, and an officer gave the order.

The firecrackers, who were ready but were shocked, subconsciously pulled the trigger, and with a "pop" sound, the firecrackers emitted fire and smoke, and they fired together.

In the light of fire and smoke, several enemy generals who were running and calling on the deck of the enemy ship suddenly appeared several huge blood holes on their bodies, and the powerful rushing attack force made them stagger backwards and fall out.

"Shoot!"

The screams did not stop, followed by the deafening sound of fire, and the second row of firefighters fired in unison, and this time they shot together, knocking a group of Wu soldiers to the ground.

For a time, the vanguard of Wu Chu's fleet quickly collapsed, and the warships were set on fire one after another.

The generals of the navy army commanding behind, including Zhao Jing, the governor of Zheng Pingyuan's navy, suddenly had no blood on his face, and the generals beside him were stunned, not knowing how to deal with this battle with elbows and armpits, and the disparity between strength and weakness.

"Grab the upper hand, shoot on target!" Seeing this situation, Lu Suhai was overjoyed and immediately ordered.

In fact, this kind of weapon is expensive for the first time, but it is not practical.

First of all, in the water battle, the ship itself is constantly sailing and shaking, and it is not easy to set the accuracy, and it is not easy to release it with a trebuchet, even if the good shooters in the army are transferred, the hit rate is not high.

And the number of Taolei is not much, once the enemy discovers the vital point, the rocket alone will cause a big explosion on its own side, and it cannot be decided at once, and the big thing will be done.

However, at this moment, more than a dozen giant ships of the coalition were hit, and for a moment the flames soared, and in an instant, the water surface boiled, the flames soared into the sky, and the cries and screams were connected.

At the height of the water village, as soon as he saw this situation, Wang Hongyi was immediately overjoyed.

Husband war, courage also!

Historically, the Battle of Poyang Lake on Earth claimed to have burned down Chen Youliang's 500,000 sailors, but in fact it was not only exaggerated, but also exaggerated.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang chose brave soldiers to drive seven fishing boats, which were filled with gunpowder and firewood, approaching the enemy ships, setting fire to the wind, the wind was fierce, and it spread rapidly, but it was only a dozen boats, but at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his army to launch a fierce attack, and only killed 2,000 enemies.

However, with this great victory, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and a fierce attack was launched, and finally the Chen army was defeated and retreated, and the abandoned banner and drum battle, floating on the surface of the lake.

After that, Chen's army was defeated repeatedly, and the situation gradually became more and more unfavorable, and finally defeated.

At this time, it is the time to take advantage of the enemy's first encounter with this weapon and panic, and carry out a fierce attack, as long as the enemy's command and morale collapse, the general trend will be gone!

The actual explosion may not have killed more than a few thousand!

At this time, Lu Suhai really immediately grasped the fighter plane, issued seven orders in a row, and issued a general attack.

Seventy warships were snatched up behind them, scattered and killed.

Smoke billowed out, cheers rang out from the deck, flags were unfurled, gongs and drums sounded, and the morale of the whole army was immediately boosted by the sight of this situation.

The 20,000-strong army, under the command of the generals, waved the red flag, waved the flag, and swooped down.

"Boom! boom!"

The more at this time, the more calm and high morale of the attacking side became, and even these ships with Taurei ventured close to the enemy ships, only twenty meters away, before shooting straight in.

At such a short distance, when it hit the deck, it exploded, and the explosion covered a radius of several meters, where no one could survive, and the most powerful thing was that in the farther area, the air flow of the explosion and the oil and fire were equally terrifying.

On the surface of the river, dozens of thick smoke have risen, and the flames are faintly rising, and the fire is raging, which can rise to a height of dozens of trees, so that the river surface is covered with thick black smoke.

At this time, although the sun was shining, under the shade of black smoke, the river was dark.

The original array has broken several gaps, and the sailors of the Shu army have broken through the gaps, breaking the array like an iron stream, and on the burning deck, the most elite sailors of the Wu army are screaming in the flames, and some have formed a great wall of flesh and blood, resisting stubbornly.

Looking at this scene, not to mention Zhao Jing, the commander of the naval army commanding in front, even Wei Yue and Zheng Pingyuan in the back, their hands and feet were cold, and they fell into the ice and snow a few times.
