The burning ships hit the iron cables one after another, squeezing into a ball. Although the flames burned the sky for a while and the smoke was rolling, there was still a distance from Lianying Shuizhai on the north bank. The Wei soldiers standing solemnly on the water and land were whispering to the sky as the fires on the river in front of them, and they couldn't help but whispering, amazed, and were completely watching the excitement... because they knew very well that the fire would not touch the Dazhai at all.

The fire could not spread through other flammable materials, and could only swallow the group of ships that were blocked by iron ropes. The sound of peeling burning and explosion became particularly intense, and the ships in the flames decompose and sink one after another. The originally unscrupulous fire touched the river water and emitted a large amount of thick smoke. In no time, it would become waste materials floating on the river surface.

Zhang Wu commanded two thousand soldiers to pull up the iron lock to intercept the fire ship. He was located in front of the water camp and felt a scorching wave of air coming towards him. Zhang Wu looked proud and shouted loudly, leading his soldiers to run towards the fleet again... Wu's fire attack was difficult to work, and now it is the Wei army's turn to take action!

The water camp on the south bank of the Yangtze River was standing on the platform and watching the opposite side. Xu Wen, who was waiting to see the fire spreading in the enemy's camp, seemed to have been imposed. He was stunned on the spot, staring at the fire attack fleet sent out, but it was blocked into a ball just one or two miles away from the Wei army's water camp, and was gradually engulfed by the fire, which was not enough to affect the enemy's fleet and military camp.

Although he couldn't see it seriously, Xu Wen looked closely and could probably see dense iron chains standing across the front of the Dazhai village to block the fire ship. After he realized it, he immediately realized what method the Wei army had used, which made it difficult for the ship to crash into the depths of the Dazhai village.

There were precedents in the war of the iron cable Hengjiang in the water battle. At that time, Wu Yan, the prefect of Jianping of Eastern Wu, sent people to build iron chains to block the waterways by locking the Yangtze River, and preventing the Jin warships from invading the territory. However, later, the Jin general Wang Jun ordered many torches more than ten feet long and dozens of circumferences to be built, poured with sesame oil, placed in front of the ship, melting and burning the Hengjiang iron chains, making the fleet unblocked until the army was destroyed by the Eastern Wu and unifying the Three Kingdoms.

However, Xu Wen knew that the fire attack fleet sent by the river were all fast and flexible light boats on the river. When they encountered obstacles during the journey, they could easily stop, and were not enough to break through the densely arranged iron chain formation. His face immediately showed a look of annoyance, and he was angrily thinking about who had come up with the iron chain across the river. It was arranged appropriately, just enough to intercept the fire attack fleet sent by our army... There must be people in the Wei army who are skilled in water war, but this has ruined my good thing!

Xu Wen naturally didn't know... whether it was burning ships with fire or crossing the iron chains across the river, they were the best methods used by Zhang Wu, a general who had surrendered to the Wei Dynasty, when fighting the water war.

According to historical trajectory, Gao Jichang, the king of Nanping who originally occupied Jingnan, did not dare to provoke great powers such as Houliang, Later Tang, and Nanwu, but he always cared about the Badong area controlled by Former Shu. However, it was precisely because Zhang Wu was in charge of the gateway between the Yangtze River and the Three Gorges connecting Shu, Gao Jichang made three western expeditions in the past nine years, and they were defeated in a miserable battle... The last time, he was led by Zhang Wu to less than ten thousand naval troops, and killed the Nanpingzhou Army, which was originally narrow and narrow, and was unable to form a...

At that time, Zhang Wu made arrangements and arrangements at the right time, and ordered his subordinates to cross the Yangtze River with iron chains and set up fences at both ends. He used this "locking gorge" tactic to trap tens of thousands of naval troops in Nanping. Gao Jichang was so angry that he jumped straight to curse. As a result, a combination of iron chains, fire attacks and rocks fell, and the Nanping naval troops completely collapsed, and Gao Jichang had to turn to a small boat to escape... Now Zhang Wu is just designing to block the Wu army's fire attack fleet. For him, isn't this an easy task to pinch with a handful?

Until the batch of ships filled with firewood and turbulent oil became charred black waste floating on the river surface. The fire could no longer spread and was completely extinguished... Chai Zai, the chief general of the Wei Dynasty's naval army, was wearing a full dress and uniform. Seeing that Zhang Wu had also boarded the main ship of the boat and rushed to the front to report, he said:

"I will also submit a report to the court to express my merits for the commander Zhang to properly deploy and resolve the Wu army attack."

When Zhang Wu heard this, he bowed his hand and laughed loudly:

"The general of Jie is too honored, what is this credit? After all, the navy of Wu army has not yet been defeated. As for rewards on merit, it will not be too late to discuss it in detail after our army's great victory."

Although Chai Zaiyong's face was as big as pig iron, he seemed to have a smile at this moment. He nodded and waved his hand. Suddenly, the war drums moved, but saw a fleet of sails sailing away from the port one after another. A large area of ​​Wei warships marched towards the center of the Yangtze River.

Seeing a large fleet of water warships slowly swam towards this side from the north, the fast boats that were originally wrapped in flames but crashed into the Wei army's village were all stranded and their fires were turned off... They were clamoring for a wild clamor, saying that they would kill the Wei army, Liu Yan, the general of the Wu army, who had been scattered, widened his eyes and his mouth was also big. His hand slipped, and he didn't even notice that the dice he was holding in his palm fell to the ground... but he was stunned.

Originally, the southeast wind was strong before the two armies fought, and during the confrontation, the Wu navy gradually gained the upper hand. When the enemy dispatched warships to the north shore, they sent fire attacking the clutches to attack the village... Everything was as expected, but how could the enemy easily resolve the fire by taking advantage of the wind?

After a moment of shock, Liu Xin came to his senses. His face looked three-pointed and seven-pointed. He then roared again:

"What if the fire attack is not helpful? The Wu navy is still the dominant leader on the water! Don't be stunned and cheer me up! Let Wei Gou from the north know that the Yangtze River is our world. Even if there are many enemy ships coming, I will suffer a little today, and at least I will have to spend more effort!

Look at Wei Gou's situation, is the commander of the commander-in-chief who personally came out? It happened to be right, dispersed the enemy ships and made them tired of dealing with them. Then listen to my dispatch and act. Be sure to attack and kill the enemy's commander in one fell swoop, so that the lives of these Wei Gou can be left here!"

Liu Xin ordered one after another to command the distributive fleet to intersperse, and still trying to disrupt the formation of the Wei army fleet. Five fighting ships, more than 30 ships, and even more flexible and maneuverable boats on the river, quickly gathered together as they marched to form a front-arrow array, which was like a sharp arrow to attack the enemy ship opposite.

As for the fleet Chai used, the warships could accommodate at least a hundred people, and there were also large towers, wide as walls, and large ships equipped with more dense military equipment. They also caused waves several feet high when moving forward... However, according to the confrontation between the two sides, the Wu army warships were generally faster and more flexible to wander on the river. In addition, the soldiers were more skillful in driving the rudders. Three turns and two turns can often make the generals and soldiers on the Wei army warships dizzy and fall into a passive attack.

But seeing a fleet of Wu army swam rapidly in front of him. On the large ships in front of the fleet, the military soldiers of the army had already brought the sealed shells in the cabin to the deck and buckled them on the row of crossbows that were smaller than ordinary styles on the side of the ship... The winch was tightly clamped, and the fire on the shells was ignited one after another. With the order of the military academy, a row of missiles was densely packed like rain, and shot towards the enemy ship one or two hundred steps away from its own warship.

The first one to take the Wu army battleship, a navy soldier suddenly found a row of missiles as big as a human head and hit him straight. He quickly bent down and curled his whole body under the nearby baffle. He also shouted:

"Don't panic! Such a stone bullet can only smash through one layer of baffle, and it will not penetrate the side side and damage the hull!"
