Chapter Thirty

?;

On the west side of the Five Continents, the Chen State Navy Reserve was traversing the river and reinforcing the main force of the upstream Rongzhou. According to the pre-war arrangement, they were arranged as reserves to set sail for half an hour in the main fleet.??

?`

This time, the Chen State naval fleet that advanced westward to recover Yingzhou was extremely large, and one-time investment in the decisive battle would lead to being too bloated. If something unexpected happened, it would be difficult for the warship to turn around. Therefore, in order to avoid accidents, Chen army divided the two fleets into the decisive battle.

Everything was arranged and considered, but there was a problem in the five continents: many Zhou army warships suddenly appeared on the river surface of the upper reaches of the five continents.

"What's going on? Where did those ships come from?" asked the head coach Chen Shujian. There were not many warships but they cast a shadow in his heart. The main force commanded by deputy head coach Fan Yi in front should have been fighting with the Zhou army. At this time, the enemy warship suddenly appeared and was considered to be a way out.

"King, I think the boat that had been dragged ashore has been dragged into the water before now. How can some small boats have any impact on the battle situation?" A general expressed his opinion.

"King, even if they want to set up the fireboat, they may not succeed. The main defender fleet of our army will be able to stop it."

The generals made Chen Shujian feel a little calmer. He ordered the fleet to move forward quickly and leave Wuzhou earlier and turn over the Yanji River to see how the battle situation is ahead. As for the Zhou army's clutch that blocked the road, he drove away.

With a "swoosh" sound, a giant fire arrow shot from the five continents and hit a Chen army warship. Just as the Chen army soldiers were surprised that the range of this giant arrow could reach such a long time, more than ten giant arrows shot over.

Except for the four shots, the other giant arrows had hit the Chen army's warships. The fire on them began to burn the boards. The soldiers rushed to lift water to put out the fire, but not long after another giant arrow shot over.

"How can their crossbow arrows shoot so far!!" Chen Shujian was a little strange. The Zhou army on the Five Continents should have used a giant crossbow to shoot such giant arrows, but as far as he knows, no giant crossbow in the army can have such a long range.??w? Looking at the distance between the warships caught in the arrow and the Five Continents, it is 600 steps.

Another wave of giant arrows shot through the sails of several warships to ignite them. Chen Jun's warship is now facing the wind, so in order to speed up the speed of progress, the sails are used together, and the bulging sails have become the most obvious target.

"What's going on!!" Chen Shujian asked with an unpleasant expression. A few days ago, when the troops were sent to attack these five continents, they suffered heavy casualties. According to the enemy situation summarized after the war, the Zhou army on the five continents did not have the current giant arrow with a range of five or six hundred steps.

The generals just looked at each other but didn't know how to answer. Before, when the main naval warship passed by the five continents, they didn't see the other party shooting arrows, so no one would have expected that the other party would use this move now. These giant arrows were like mosquitoes and could not be driven away, but they were nailed to their bodies but it hurt a lot. The fire of three ships had spread, causing the soldiers to abandon the ship.

"King, Zhou Jun thought he had made a special effort to harass our warships' advance speed at this time..."

"The crossbow with such a long range is not much faster than the winding speed..."

As soon as he finished speaking, another wave of giant arrows shot. Someone roughly calculated that if one crossbow was only shot and one arrow was not enough to be turned on, Zhou Jun would have to prepare at least fifty giant crossbows to have the current effect. But how much material would it take to make it? It would be a waste to think about it.

It is better to build a few more warships than spending so much money and materials. Even if a giant arrow hits a warship, it is not that easy to ignite the hull, especially if the large ship has too many people, it is easy to put out the fire. However, Zhou Jun is now shooting arrows at the sails.

The sails of more than a dozen ships were already lit by the rest of the warships close to the five continents, and they had no choice but to retract their sails and row with long oars. Because they were attacked by giant arrows, the speed of the fleet's advance was significantly affected.

Chen Shujian stood on the deck of the ship and forced the urge to send people to kill the Five Continents. The Zhou army made Five Continents like hedgehogs and they attacked them for several days but could not take over the Five Continents. Today, the attack will be no exception. If you want to solve the Five Continents, you can only wait until you defeat the Zhou navy and control the Yangtze River to slowly consume it.???

??`?

"Let you wait this time, and settle the score after the war is over!"

Under the harassment of the huge arrows of the Zhou army in the five continents, the vanguard of the Chen army's fleet had already left the northern end of the five continents. At this time, there were twelve small boats sunk by the giant arrows. The Zhou army warships that had appeared in front had been hiding into the other side of the five continents when they saw that the situation was not good. Just as the public was about to breathe a sigh of relief, they heard the mast report that many bamboo rafts were found on the continent.

If it is an ordinary bamboo raft, it is fine. After observation by the lookout, it is confirmed that each bamboo raft has many suspected flammable objects such as firewood. The number of those bamboo rafts is quite large. It is roughly seen that there are about dozens of them.

"You said they deliberately opened the disguise and let us see it?"

Chen Shujian and the generals were stunned when they heard this. Could it be that the Zhou army on the five continents were stupid or stupid to deliberately let people see what they were going to do next? Pressing the lookout hand, he said that the Zhou army was just a branch that was used as a disguise without any concealment, and took away the weeds for the Chen army soldiers who were on the mast to see it.

"Damn it, do they want our army to attack the Five Continents!!"

"If we leave them alone, we will set the fireboat behind us!"

The open plot. The straightforward plot. The Zhou army guarding the Five Continents directly told the Chen army in front of him, "I just want to wait for you to come over and set the boats on the wind to burn your tails. If you don't want to do this, go to Five Continents to fight to the death!"

'Who will fight you to the death if the war is in the front!' The generals of Chen Jun thought in their hearts, but if they want to let it go, there will be hidden dangers. The southeast wind is blowing now and it will be a simple sail for these light bamboo rafts. It won't be too simple to catch up with your own fleet, but it is not appropriate to divide the troops here.

There were not too few Zhou army warships that had just been hiding on the other side of the five continents. If there were fewer warships left behind, if they were entangled by them, there was no time to block bamboo rafts. If they were left too much, it would be a waste of combat power. With those giant crossbows, they could not get too close to the five continents. They could only watch the other party put the bamboo rafts.

If the thorn is in the throat, this is the only idea of ​​Chen's soldiers in the five continents. It is neither to fight nor not to fight.

"Don't worry about them, just leave the clutch behind!" Chen Shujian was straightforward. Since the other party clearly let him see the bamboo rafts acting as fireboats, they were just trying to make them in a dilemma, in essence, it was to delay them in the speed of reinforcements upstream.

"Continue to move forward and settle the score with them after the Zhou army in the upstream has been resolved!!"

Chen's warships placed five continents to garrison Zhou's army, and the threat of the Chen army was garrisoned by the Zhou army, regardless of the sails, and soon after advancing, he turned around on the Yanji River. He thought it was a scene where his side won a great victory and unexpectedly saw the large sea of ​​fire on the river.

The wreckage of the warship flowed down the river, with wooden boards, broken flags and soldiers' bodies floating everywhere. Chen Shujian looked at the faint shadows of the ship in the fire, so nervous that his palms were sweating.

"Who won? Let's see who won?" He asked the lookout hand on the mast to check the battle situation. Such a spectacular scene made people feel heartbroken and I don't know which side would survive the fire.

"King, behind, the fireboats have been released from Wuzhoushu!!"

"Stop talking nonsense, who won ahead!!"

"Yes, our army, it's the Zhou army's warship that has come!"

"What did you say!" Chen Shujian's face changed drastically. He didn't expect that his main navy force would be defeated. If so, what should he do?

......

Zhou Jun ship formation, Yu Wen Wen, who was wearing a silence on the head of the commander, looked at the scene after the fire. The soldiers on the deck ran back and forth, and several fire points had just been extinguished. Yu Wen, who was covered in dust on the ship, looked at the east with a thousand-mile mirror.

"It's Chen Jun's backing up, can our army win?"

"I'm afraid both sides will be injured." Zhou Fashang said. He stood aside and looked at the east with a thousand-mile mirror. Both of them looked a little embarrassed.

Yuwen Wen asked what kind of chance of winning, the other party replied that it was no more than 40%. Zhou Fashang's opinion was that his morale was at its peak now, but his physical strength might not be able to survive the next battle, and the main ship was in poor condition. If he could not win quickly with the opponent, he would be defeated.

"40%, it's a lot, it's worth fighting, and these warships are all eliminated." Yuwen Wen was full of fighting spirit.

"Then you have to change the ship, otherwise the ship will not be able to withstand it."

The warship that Zhou Fashang and Yuwen Wen were riding has been damaged in many places, especially the sails have been burned. In order to boost morale, Zhou Fashang commanded the warships to rush to the front line, so it was inevitably affected. There were smoke and fire everywhere. After all, the fire that burned the Chen army's fleet was in the lower wind direction. The fire that burned all the Chen army's fleet also burned some Zhou army warships.

The chain of vehicles and ships at the front of the Zhou army's ship formation have been burned to a maximum of 10 or 2. The subsequent warships were still thanks to the big pump to put out the fire, so they barely avoided the "fire-burning camp" problem. However, even so, the Chen army warships that were still burning in the middle of the river became an obstacle to their advancement.

Zhou's clutches such as Mengchong, Dou Ship, and Zouge were chasing the retreating Chen army warships. Many Chen army soldiers who dived and escaped on the river were caught and captured by them. The whole scene was very chaotic.

Yuwen Wen took this rare opportunity to ask Zhou Fashang for the "water war expert". He was not afraid of the crow's mouth and asked directly how to deal with the Chen army fleet ahead. Zhou Fashang directly said that the Clippers were stalking in front, and the big ship sailed back to Zhengrongzhou to adjust.

"It's good if the other party is in trouble. If they still want to force them up, they will raid and fight to the death as they pass through the wreckage of the warship."

‘It’s very cautious.’ Yuwen Wen thought to himself that this Zhou envoy’s military use was considered a combination of strange and righteousness, but he was much more steady in commanding the navy’s combat.

He was wondering if there were too many uncontrolled factors during water wars, so he had to be cautious? Then again, this era is indeed a strange reversal of various water wars, especially the kind of battles where the ship sets down the wind to burn the enemy, but the wind direction is reversed, but the fire ship turns over and burns the original formation, resulting in a big defeat.

"The Chen army's fleet has turned around, the Chen army's fleet has turned around!!" The lookout hand on the mast shouted loudly.

"So coward, is it that the head coach Chen Jun is just a pampered bag?" Yuwen Wen murmured to himself when he heard this. There was no pig teammate in this battle, and the other party looked similar to the pig teammate.

"Emeng Yuwen, as planned, the fireboats should be released from Wuzhoushu, right?"

"Of course, if someone dares not let me go, I will order him!"
