In the first month of the second year of Jian'an, even in the Huainan area, it was still chilly in spring.

On the bank of the Yangtze River, in a Yuan Shu military camp, several soldiers on the tower were shrank their necks and sleeves, and were sucking in vain. With a cold north wind, they suddenly smelled the fragrance of stewed meat and the aroma of wine. They sniffed their noses and saliva was so greedy.

A soldier muttered: "Look, the Han army has wine and meat. Let's not even eat wine and meat. We can't even eat grain! We use river clams instead of food. If we eat too much, we can't even pull out shit!"

His complaints quickly resonated with each other, and they complained one by one until their sergeant saw a general coming from a distance, coughing dryly and winking, and then they shut up.

In the Han army camp outside a hundred battles, soldiers eating meat and drinking wine were also talking.

"In previous years, the wine and meat were all divided into wine and meat. This year, I was fighting outside, but I didn't expect there was still wine and meat to eat."

"Well, the wine is much less than in previous years."

"Well, that's because all the wine is used to burn Yuan Bing, so there is less, so naturally everyone will get less."

"Bad! That soju and this kind of wine are not the same wine. The amount is small to prevent you from getting drunk and making trouble. Even if you don't take the time, this is the battlefield. Keep your guard up!"

As soon as a Zhao Yun army leader finished speaking, he heard the soldiers on the tower start to scream. He thought that an enemy was coming, so he climbed up to the tower and looked into the distance.

The Yangtze River was hundreds of wars away, with sails covering the river surface, and two fleets were walking towards each other. The soldiers saw from the flags on the ship that one of the fleet was the Yuan army naval divisions wandering in the Yangtze River waterway for many days, while the large number of ships in the other fleet were the Zhuyang Shipeng ships that the soldiers were familiar with.

It turned out that while Feng Yu returned to the front line of Jiujiang County in Huainan, he ordered the Mianshui Navy to enter the Yangtze River along the Mianshui River, and then went down the river to meet Sun Ce's Jiangdong Navy, waiting for an opportunity to fight the Yangtze River with Yuan Shu's Navy to regain control of the Yangtze River.

In the original world, the geographical location of Shouchun City during the Three Kingdoms period was not clearly determined. It was only based on the relevant county annals and the ruins of the ancient city in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was presumed that it was roughly on the south bank of the Huai River east of Shou County in later generations.

But in this world, Shouchun City is located between the Huai River and the Yangtze River, east of Chaohu Lake, and more than 100 kilometers southeast of Shou County in later generations. It is close to the Yangtze River to the south of the county. It was originally the capital of Jiujiang County, separated from Danyang County, Jiangdong. Therefore, the control of the Yangtze River waterway is very important for the Battle of Shouchun.

By regaining the power of controlling the river, Sun Ce's rear Danyang County could provide food and grass supplies to the front line nearby, and at the same time cut off the Yuan Shu army's harassment of the Han army through the Yangtze River waterway.

At this time, the main navy of both sides had set off on the river surface and prepared for a decisive battle. Amid the sound of the shocking drums, the Yuan army warships bulged their sails and rode the north wind to try their best to lean towards the Han army warships.

The Han army's warships were not smooth but were smooth. They took advantage of the water and leaned towards the other side. However, Feng Yu's ship did not rush straight towards the other side's warship, but deviated in one direction to avoid colliding head-on with the other side's warship.

The crossbows on the Zhuyang Pilot began to fire crossbow guns, and some crossbow guns were covered with tinker oil and tied with fibers. When fired, they passed through the ignited torch flames. They were like a fire dragon shooting at the opponent's warship.

Of course such a musket cannot ignite the deck of the warship, but if it hits the sail, it will inevitably cause a raging fire.

"Boundist, get on the arrow and shoot, prepare to shoot! Hook sickle, prepare to catch the sidelines! Knife and shield hands are ready to jump the gang!" A Yuan army naval general was commanding the soldiers who bowed the crossbow on the deck to jump the gang to fight. Suddenly, with a sound of squirting... a blood flower splashed on his chest, and a crossbow gun pierced through his chest.

On another Yuan army warship, a fire dragon shot the sail, and the fire took advantage of the wind, and the entire sail quickly burned, and then ignited the ship tower not far from the sail. The entire ship was gradually swallowed up in the blazing flames.

With a huge muffled sound, in the flying rain of arrows, a Jiangdong warship leaned against the Yuan army warship. The soldiers from both sides continued to shoot at each other through the side of the ship, and stabbed each other with spears and guns. Then the superior side began to climb over the side of the ship and contact each other in close combat on the deck.

The sound of killing on the entire river surface was shocking. More than a dozen ships had turned into fire ships. The fire became bigger and bigger, and some masts had fallen down. These fire ships were naturally Yuan's warships.

Sun Ce's warships had all started fighting with Yuan's warships. Although their number of ships was small, their morale was far higher than that of each other. As long as they were connected to the side, the victorious side was basically the soldiers of the Jiangdong Navy.

Feng Yu's warship tried his best to avoid collision with the other side, but instead flexibly wandered on the river surface. The crossbows on the double deck continued to fire deadly crossbow guns and "fire dragons". If you missed it with the Yuan army warship by chance, the battle axes, arrows, and javelins on the deck would pour out towards the Yuan army warship.

That was an attack launched by the Viking sailors. These warriors were very suitable for platoon battles. However, their low Viking warships were not suitable for water wars, so Feng Yu did not ask them to drive Viking ships to the Yangtze River to participate in the war.

In this fierce water battle battlefield, a fishing boat was moored in the reed marsh not far away. A man dressed in a fisherman took off his hat and squinted his eyes to observe the battlefield. The sunlight reflected his bronze skin red.

He spitted out a reed pole in his mouth and said to himself: "What a strange tactic, he actually installed a giant bow on the deck to fight."

Then he said, "Yuan army has been defeated, the overall situation has been decided, there is nothing to pay attention to." After saying this, he lay on the deck of the fishing boat, crossed his legs, and a head came out of the tent, and asked, "Brother, are you going to return to Jingzhou?"

"Go and go, who said you're going back? Go and stew fish quickly, let's have a cup of fish tonight."

His younger brother was muttering: "It's been a long way, and I'll wait for so many days to see others fight. I don't know what it means."

Unexpectedly, his elder brother heard this and shouted, "You know, it's all about our future, do you know?" The younger brother stopped talking and went to slaughter the fish and make a fire.

The man's surname is Gan Ning. He was originally a thief. Later, he defected to Liu Biao and Huang Zu, but he was never reused. Even if he made great contributions, he was still a small team leader. He thought of becoming a famous leader.

A few days ago, I saw the "Liangzhou Navy" walking up the river in Jingzhou. With a thought, I called a few younger brothers to follow me.

He knew that Feng Yu and Sun Ce's navy would have a fierce battle with Yuan Shu. He wanted to see which lord to change to after seeing this battle.

At this time, the battle on the river was coming to an end. More than half of the Yuan army's naval warships were destroyed or captured, and the remaining Yuan army warships fled downstream in panic.
