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

A few days later, Gangneung welcomed distinguished guests.

Wu Wang Wei Yue came out to greet him, and it was Zheng Pingyuan, the Marquis of Chu, who came with him, and naturally there were generals of the Chu army.

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 would rush in 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 earlier, and he only waited for the next battle.

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

In the early morning of September 29, 16th year

At this time, the summer has gone, the autumn has been thick, the sky has already brightened, the river is filled with a layer of mist, the wind làng is slightly rising, close to an estuary, and 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 could not help but change 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 came out of the queue and crouched on the ground, 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 potore, which was an enlarged version of the hand fire mine, but it used a simplified version of the trebuchet to send shè and drop it 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 days, using soldiers for a while, the lord has been raising a water trainer for so long, just for today, the ministers will swear to repay the death and break the strong enemy for the lord. ”

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

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, and you will give it to the 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.

It was a huge naval division of 200 ships, while the enemy, with 300 ships, was tall and large enough to carry more sailors, and against their backdrop was a turbulent 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 practiced the "water riding shè tactics", which had to show a linear arrow, while the Wu Chu Naval Division, with large and tall boats, practiced the tactics of encirclement and interception 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 men were transferred to the ship, and they held their shields aloft, raised to the left and right of the side sides, forming a group of defenses, and almost at the same time, archers and crossbow archers, were ready, which was 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 shè catapults were loaded and waited.

Seeing that the distance had been reached, the captain commanded: "Hair shè!"

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 the marks of severe burning, screamed hoarsely, and on the deck, like a group of madmen bombing the camp in panic.

"Ready, shè!" At this time, the shield 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 on their bodies, and the powerful rushing attack force made them stagger and fall backwards.

“shè！”

The screams did not stop, followed by the deafening sound of fire commanders, and the second row of fire commanders struck again, and this one struck 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 in strength and weakness.

"Seize the upper hand, shè is right!" Seeing this situation, Lu Suhai was overjoyed and immediately commanded.

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 it is transferred to the good shè in the army, 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 firewood 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 that were damaged, 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 was the time to take advantage of the first time that the enemy army was frightened by this weapon, and launched a fierce attack, as long as the enemy's command and morale collapsed, the general trend was 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 calm and high morale the attack, the more so that even these ships with taurets ventured close to the enemy ships, and only twenty meters away, did they come straight to him.

At such a short distance, the middle deck of the shè exploded, and the explosion enveloped a radius of several meters, where no one could survive, and the most powerful thing was that in the farther area, the air flow and oil fire of the explosion 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 a stream of iron, and on the burning deck, the most sharp sailors of the Wu army are screaming in the flames, and some of them have formed a bloody Great Wall, 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.
