??Xiakou, on the south bank of the Yangtze River, General Chen State Xiping, sent the governor of Yingzhou, the governor of the seven prefectures above Yingzhou, standing on the ship and looking into the distance. His ship was surrounded by dense warships of Chen State Yingzhou, and the mast-studed ships opposite the invading Zhou State Xiangyang Navy.

Both sides are old rivals. Zhou and Chen are inevitable in every battle, and each battle ends with the victory of the Chen navy. Therefore, Lu Guangda does not think there will be any surprises this time.

Xiangzhou was still part of the Southern Dynasties when the Xiangyang Navy was originally part of the Southern Dynasties. Although the Northern Dynasties had Xiangyang Navy more than 20 years ago, it still could not control the Yangtze River. Lu Guangda had full confidence in this.

This time, the Zhou army in Jiangbei and somehow vigorously invaded the south, and the Xiangyang Navy entered the Yangtze River from north to south along the Han River from Hankou. From yesterday to now, the two sides have finally entered the decisive battle.

"General, it's the southeast wind!" The soldiers on the mast shouted loudly. When Lu Guangda heard this, he looked up and saw that the flags on the surrounding warships were blown by the wind and fluttered towards the northwest.

The Chen army was in the southeast and the Zhou army was in the northwest. The southeast wind direction was very beneficial to the Chen army. Lu Guangda did not hesitate anymore and immediately ordered the drum to raise the sail. Since the wind direction was favorable, the navy on his side did not need to shrink and wait for the other side to attack.

However, the Zhou army, who had just started to beat the drums on the Chen army, also started to beat the drums, and the momentum was amazing. It seemed that the other party was going to take the initiative to attack. This was an attack against the wind. It was said that the soldiers of the Xiangyang Navy could not have played like this, but it was true now.

The main force of the navy was in the decisive battle. The warships on both sides were densely packed on the river. Generally, the upstream or upper wind direction first released the fire ship and rushed towards the other side. After the fire ship burned it up or forced the formation to mess up, the big ship on its side then rushed to beat it up with a pole and then a bloody battle of placing a fight.

Now it is the southeast wind. In the eyes of the Chen army general, it is a delusion to set fire boats in the Zhou army against the wind. Most of the fire boats that are lit have no one paddlings and can only ride on the sails. Now it is against the wind. If the fire boat comes out, it may be blown back and burned to itself.

If you can't let the fire ships go, you can only rely on the big ships to rush forward. But if you talk about the big ships, Chen's army is not inferior. Moreover, the Yingzhou naval army has 40,000 people now have the main force to fight the dense warships. If they are hard, they have never been afraid of anyone.

The two armies began to face the Parrot Island, which was formed by the river silt on the river between the two sides. Lu Guangda quickly made a decision: the main force of the Chen army's warships rose to the north. The warship on the left side went upstream and bypassed the Parrot Island and then went downstream to attack the Zhou army from the flanks.

Parrot Island is located in the middle of the Yangtze River, just in Chen and the Zhou navy is in the west. Lu Guangda sent Mengchong, covered with raw cowhides. The fighting ships had to bypass Parrot Island with their fast speed. These fast ships had eighty paddles on both sides, and the paddle hands were all veterans. They were raiding back and forth quickly and even if they went upstream, they would not affect the speed.

As the main force of direct attack, the first one was released was the fire ship, followed by the marches loaded with strong soldiers, and the one who was under the formation was the main lineup of the navy commanded by him. The large ships, Golden Wings, Qinglong, Pinglu, and the Sandu Tower ships were the main force of the attack of more than 300 ships, as the main force of the strong ships, and along with thousands of other large and small warships, they attacked together.

The drums were connected into a stream of thunder. With the passionate sound of war drums, Chen and Zhou navy gradually approached. Both sides had the same plan: the main warships directly hedged and sent the clutch to bypass Parrot Island to deal with the opponent's clutch first and then downstream to attack the flanks.

The navy fought from far to near, with weapons, manpowered artillery, crossbows, bows and arrows. When the two ships were close, there were rockets and torches before they were on the side. After getting close, there were poles and hooks, and finally there were splashing iron juice and cruel and bloody plating battles.

All of this is a very familiar routine for the Chen Navy and even the Zhou Navy. Therefore, the key to victory or defeat is whether the command of the commander of the commander disrupts the opponent's position when the warships of the two armies meet, finds out the flaws and defeats them in one go.

The first method was the fire ship. The fire ship released by Chen Jun was very fast because it was a good wind. Zhou Jun's response was also expected. They sent a boat to greet him. The soldiers on the boat used a hook to stop hooking the fire ship and then splashed water to destroy it or sunk it with a long-handled axe.

The Chen army's subsequent offensive came, and the Mengchong, which used sails and boats, and the fighting ships followed the fire ships. First, part of them fought with the Zhou army who intercepted the fire ships and the other part was the main warships that rushed straight to the rear.

Those main warships were different from the large ships that soldiers had seen: the hull was covered with raw cowhide on wooden boards, and the hull was quite large, but only one mast was leaning against a long boat. This strange boat looked like a big turtle with a shell on it.

Except for the lonely mast, the other erected rods are dozens of feet high. The rods are powerful water battle weapons. There is a huge rock rod at the beginning of the rod and the rollers are connected to the wheels. On weekdays, they are like masts. When the enemy ship approaches, they release the rods with the power of falling rocks. With the power of the rocks, they can be directly shot into two pieces by the fighting ship.

Before the warships with several sticks were prepared, the warships of the Mengchong Dou Ship had only a dead end, but the Chen army's pioneer Clippers rushed towards the main battleship of the Zhou army fearlessly. Their mission was to fly moths to the flames.

Use your own crushing bones to make the enemy shoot, and then your main battleship can take the initiative.

The power of the stick is huge, but one disadvantage is that it takes a long time to pull up after the shot is released. This time difference is the opportunity for your main ship.

Fifteen years ago, Hua Jiao, the governor of Xiangzhou of Chen, rebeled and surrendered to Liang, and the Chen court immediately sent water to suppress the rebellion. The commander of the Chen army and famous general Wu Mingche led 30,000 naval troops to fight the rebel naval forces in the Dongting Waterway. This is the tactic used by the tactics used by the rebel naval forces in the decisive battle between the white snails on the Dongting Waterway.

Before the war, Wu Mingche recruited small and medium-sized soldiers to promise a heavy reward. He ordered him to take the lead in attacking the main rebel ship in the decisive battle to bear the filming. Before the enemy ship had finished shooting, he was rushed to the scene by the official ship before he could pull up the rod. As a result, after the shooting, the rebel ship suffered heavy casualties and sank mostly in the end.

This time, the vanguard of Chen Jun assumed such a responsibility. They ignored the interception of Zhou's army and endured the cover of powerful crossbows and arrows, leaning straight towards the ship. Although the Mengchong Dou Ship did not slap the rod, the long-handled axe in the hands of the soldiers could destroy the hull of the ship and set fire to the ship, so the other party could not ignore it.

The pole hairs and beats each one aroused huge water column. Except for a few Chen army warships, most of them were sunk by the pole rods on the Zhou army's large ships. Some soldiers survived and some soldiers were photographed so badly. They were destined to live and die and wealthy. They received a heavy reward before the battle in the sky. If they failed to avoid the pole, they could only blame themselves for their poor skills and bad luck.

These Chen army vanguards bought time for the main ships that rushed to the subsequent rush because it was the southeast wind. Because of the southeast wind, Chen army's main ship was advancing very fast. With the pioneer's moths to the flames, they had approached the Zhou army's ship.

A soldier who fell into the water looked at his approaching warship and looked at the approaching warship. Zhou Jun's big ship was already on the slapped pole now, but there was no time to pull up and fight again. The official army will definitely win this battle!

Suddenly, waves splashed, and he saw that the rod that had entered the water on the Zhou army's ship was rising at an incredible speed. The speed was not as fast as he could have reached in his memory.

What's going on!!

Before he could figure out that his big ship had rushed over and intersected with Zhou's big ship. Both sides' poles were almost at the same time and hit the other's boat. He opened his eyes and saw that a big ship in front of him was greatly damaged and the enemy's big ship was also... The loss was slight?!!

......

On the eastern end of Parrot Island, the main forces of Zhou and Chen Shuijun were entangled together and fought fiercely. The side troops they sent were all moving towards the western end of Parrot Island, and they wanted to bypass Parrot Island and then go downstream to attack the opponent's flanks.

Although they were all going upstream, the Chen army's warships were moving forward with the southeast wind and sailed very fast. Not to mention that the Mengchong Dou Ship was not slow, even the Golden-winged ship was not slow. I thought I could take advantage of the wind to get around the western end of Parrot Island and turn the bow of the ship and attack downstream, but they found that the Zhou army on the opposite side was not slow either.

Specifically, the other party's big ship was not slow, and the appearance of those big ships was completely different from the ships that the soldiers of Chen Jun had seen because they actually had a "wheel" on the head and tail!

The wheel was rotating like a waterwheel. According to the principle of left and right symmetry, it was thought that there were two wheels on the left and right of the big ships like Zhou Jun who were paddling at the left and right. No wonder the speed of the journey was so fast. The knowledgeable general of Chen Jun looked at it and said in one sentence: "That's a waterwheel ship!!"

Vehicles and ships. They are rare in Jiangnan, but they are not uncommon, but they are rarely used, let alone warships. Therefore, the general of the Liang naval army, Xu Shipu, went south to follow Chen Gaozu Chen Baxian after the fall of Jiangling. Later, the Chen naval army war tools were all supervised by him to build water vehicles and ships.

There are wheels on both sides of the water truck. Generally, one wheel on each side is on the top of the boat. The advantages look good, but the disadvantages are mainly because the weight of the double-wheeled hull becomes deeper, so it is difficult to move in shallow water areas and the hull is not flexible.

Based on these shortcomings, the water trucks and ships were not promoted in large quantities, but since the Chen army general knew that the other party's large ship was not good for approaching shallow water, they had a countermeasure. They ordered the clutch to sprint hard to reach the western end of Parrot Island and entangled the other party in front of the Zhou army's water trucks and ships turning around, and bought time for their own golden wings, tower ships and other large ships.

"Win the strings, and put all the Wanjun magic crossbow!" "The stove burns and melts the iron, and prepares it!" "Light the turret, the archers are ready to set the rockets!!"

One after another, shouts sounded on the Chen army's warships. The power of the Wanjun magic crossbow was extraordinary. The molten iron was the molten iron juice when the warships on both sides approached. The soldiers were either killed or injured and the deck was stained with hot and red iron, which was very prone to catch fire.

No matter what kind of water truck you have, what are the uses of those things that are left-wing in the side door beating benches and boarding battles!!

Just as Chen Jun was about to do something, he saw a large number of Zhou soldiers on the Parrot Island next to him. The other party seemed to want to shoot arrows at the Chen army warships near the water on the continent. The Chen army general looked at the distance and found that the rockets could not threaten their fleet, so he didn't care: the other party had endless means to win, but this was useless.

It would be better to build a few more ships, which is more likely to win. Thinking of using land to make water to turn the situation around the war, it is really ridiculous to seek medical treatment in a hurry.

As he was sneering, he suddenly heard the sound of breaking through the air and looked up and looked up. Last year, Zhou's army in Parrot Island shot giant arrows full of fire. The giant arrows attacked Chen Jun's warships, some shots, some were nailed to the hull, but they began to ignite the boards.

"The giant crossbow is a giant crossbow!! There are many giant crossbows on the continent!!" The lookout hand shouted loudly on the mast. Chen Jun never thought that Zhou Jun would transport the giant crossbow to Parrot Island and shoot arrows to his side and quickly repair the sheep and send a cliff to land on the sandbank. The fleet forward is about to take action. Now there are giant crossbows on the flank and rockets are fired. No matter how hard it is, it always makes people restless.
