With the staggered waving of the order flag on the main ship of the Jinling Army, the naval team of Danyang County also began to gallop towards Yuan Shu's naval army.

All the way down the river, all the way upstream, the two water armies clashed, the pottery merchant was on the disadvantageous side, not to mention that although Xu Rong was proficient in land law, but for water warfare, he was completely a layman, under his command, the Jinling water army went crookedly towards Yuan Shu's water army.

It's so unruly.

The potter is also a last resort, among the generals of Jinling, the only available person is Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Xu Rong, Tao Ji four people, the four of them in the land battle, all have their own strengths, can be called a good hand.

But throw them on the river, that is, there is no most waste, only more waste.

Xu Rong is completely a big man in the pottery businessman's son, and a commander of the navy who was temporarily pulled out of the four people.

On the river, when the two armies engage in battle, the first thing to be used must be bows and crossbows.

Before the warships of the two armies were about to face each other, they saw a rain of arrows and wooden markers from their respective battlefields at the same time, shooting towards the other party's warships.

For a while, the sky was full of arrows and arrows.

Compared with the two armies, Yuan Shujun's accuracy on the water and Taoshang's accuracy are almost the same, and both sides seem to be shooting at each other indiscriminately as if they are blind cats holding dead rats.

It's not that they don't want to figure it out, the river is bumpy, undulating, and completely different from land archery.

The quasi-head is completely leaning on the blind.

However, in such a chaotic arrow array of naval troops without the slightest technical conditions, Yuan Shujun had an advantage over the pottery merchant's soldiers and horses.

That is, Yuan Shu has many warships.

The large number of warships means that Yuan Shu can climb the river with more soldiers, and it also means that the coverage of his naval army is wider than that of the potters.

"Whew~~!"

"Whew~~!"

The rain of arrows in the sky continued to fall on the ships of the two sides, and there were constantly soldiers wailing or falling into the water and sinking into the river, and the scenes of the ships of the two armies were a little chaotic, but it was obvious that Yuan Shu relied on many boats and lined up horizontally, covering almost all the ships of the Tao army in the area of archery, which also meant that the advantage of the Yuan army was far superior to that of the Tao merchants.

"General be careful!"

Hu Cai shouted, stepped forward, and used an iron shield to block a stray arrow that shot at Xu Rong, if it weren't for Hu Cai's sharp eyes, Shicai's arrow would not say that it took Xu Rong's life, and he would have to be bedridden for two months and not be able to get up.

Xu Rong was teased by Hu Cai, couldn't stand, and sat on the deck of the ship with his buttocks.

After the soldiers on the left and right helped him up in embarrassment, Xu Rong stretched out his hand to push them away, straightened the crooked wolf helmet on his head, and said fiercely: "I have fought for half a lifetime!" It's the first time I've done this! Hold your breath! ”

Hu Cai grinned when he heard this, and he was embarrassed to say anything, but his left knife and right hand shield continued to swing a rain of arrows that might fly at any time for Xu Rong.

A general from Youzhou, who was born in Biansai, asked him to command water battles on the river at this moment, and it is already very remarkable to be able to stand on the river without vomiting...... It's no wonder if it's not a bag.

One family is happy and one is sad, Yuan Shu has obviously seen at this moment that his side has tightly suppressed the opponent's naval army because of the advantage of warships and numbers.

The surname is Tao, and if you say anything today, I have to ask you to return the account of the Whisker Dock to Yuan!

"The herald is happy, quickly urge the warship to charge and attack!"

Yuan Jun's command flag once again swayed in the wind on the main ship.

The gist of water warfare, since the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, is basically the same, under the premise that the two fleets have not yet clashed, first use long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows or javelins to shoot the personnel on the enemy warship, and reduce the opponent's vital force in a large area, and then when the warships of the two armies clash, it is a direct collision between the warships of the two sides.

When the two sides collide, the tactics used are completely dependent on the skills of the generals and soldiers of the navy, but the most common is to use the tip of the boat to hit the enemy ship, if the hull of the enemy ship can be damaged, then the people of this boat are basically the bait of the fish and shrimp in the river, and there is no need to care about it at all. If you can't damage the enemy's ship, the most direct way to fight is to let the sailors jump onto the opponent's ship to engage in melee combat to kill and destroy.

But it is easier said than done, hitting the hull of the enemy ship with the bow requires the soldiers and generals who control the ship to have strong experience, whether it is a pole, a sail, or an oar, and the bow of the ship is accurately hit the hull of the opponent, which requires a strong experience in the battle and an incomparable familiarity with the wind direction in the river basin.

This is not something that can be done by casually reading some water warfare techniques, but requires soaking in the Yangtze River all year round and using experience to accumulate and explore.

But it is clear that Yuan Shu's navy and the pottery merchant's navy have completely poor experience in this regard.

The soldiers on both sides have basically never fought too much in a water battle, and hitting the hull with the bow of the ship at this moment is completely blind!

Under the command of the main generals of both sides, I saw Yuan Shu's warship and the warship of the Tao Shang army, like bumper cars, colliding back and forth in the battlefield in the river.

There are only a handful of ships that can accurately hit the enemy's hull with the bow, and most of the warships are directly parallel to each other, and then in the absence of a helmsman and pole bearer to operate, the two adjacent battlefields have no possibility of separating for a while, and they are entangled together.

There were even a lot of warships, because of the lack of experience of the rowing soldiers and pole soldiers, began to spin in place, like the free performance competition on the water, completely detached from the fun of low-level warfare, and swayed maverick in the water, completely ignoring others.

In others, there was even a collision between friendly forces and friendly ships.

In such an embarrassing situation, the two sergeants on the battlefield, who could not be separated for a while, separated from each other, held swords and shields, whirring and slashing desperately on tiptoe to the enemy on the ship while shaking.

Some soldiers fell into the water, some soldiers were injured, and some soldiers even beat like Guo Jia and Ji Ling because of vertigo, "poof" spitting yellow water out of their mouths.

The water war has become such a virtue, and it is really a bit miserable.

But water warfare is like this, it requires extremely strong practicality and training, and without these as a premise, it is not surprising what water warfare will be.

Especially here, it is still the Yangtze River, where huge waves are raging and the water is flowing rapidly.

The potter was in the back, his eyelids twitching.

This style of play, if it is seen by a real water war expert, it is estimated that he will definitely laugh off his big teeth.

Yuan Shu is not as good as the potter, and in Yuan Laoer's heart, it doesn't matter whether this battle is beautiful or not.

The important thing is that he wins!

"Hit! Hit me hard! Annihilate all these thieves, and leave not one behind! Cut them all into the river to feed the fish and shrimp! ”

Yuan Shu was tiptoeing and swinging his fists, and at the same time, he did not forget to urge Le Qi, who was in charge of the water war.

Le didn't dare to slack off, and kept giving orders to let the left, center and right wings of the warships continue to attack and advance.

In this way, after a long time, although both sides were not good at water battles, Yuan Shujun, who had the advantage of warships and numbers, gradually gained the upper hand in this close-range fight.

The potter's forehead couldn't help but sweat when he saw it.

"Brother Fengxiao, in this case, we should already be considered losing, right? There's no need to continue to spend money with Yuan Shu in this way, I don't want Danyang County's living forces to be wasted in this ridiculous war! ”

Guo Jia took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his mouth gently.

He narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the battle in the distance for a while, and after a while, he saw the prodigal son finally nod in satisfaction.

"Almost, in such a situation, we are basically lost, Yuan Shu suppressed our army with the advantage of warships and numbers, and it was really not out of Guo's expectations...... The prince can give an order to Xu Rong and inform the ships to start returning to sail and retreat! ”

The potter's order was quickly transmitted to Xu Rong's great battle ship through the Lingqi.

At this moment, Xu Rong couldn't stand it anymore, so he immediately ordered to pass the flag order to each other, and ordered all departments to turn their bows and evacuate quickly.

The soldiers of the Tao Shang army were very unfamiliar with the sailing rudder, coupled with the fluctuation of the wind direction and the current back and forth, so that the withdrawal of the Tao Shang army flew into many wrinkles, and at this moment they were defeated by Yuan Shu A lot of warships fell into the river.

It is also a loss that Yuan Shujun's naval tactics are as bad as those of the pottery merchant army, and many Yuan soldiers watched the pottery merchant's warship move away, but they went the wrong way because of the rapid flow of water or the change in wind direction.

If it is replaced by famous generals such as Zhou Yu or Lü Meng in history who are here, half of the water army of the potters will basically be taken down on the Yangtze River today.

But even so, the potter's navy still lost more than 30 warships, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

Seeing the losses caused by this water battle by his own troops, the potter's heart was filled with a deep sadness and sadness.

Guo Jia had come to his senses at this moment, he came to the potter's side tremblingly, took a deep look at the potter, and then raised his hand and patted the potter's shoulder heavily, and said helplessly: "That's the big dispute...... In war, it is inevitable that there will be losses, and there will be gains, and there is no need to worry too much. ”

The potter smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said nothing.

How many good boys' corpses sink on the river...... But what can I do?

He is a traverser, not an immortal.

Some things can't be done perfectly.

"I understand everything that Brother Guo said...... Needless to say, withdraw quickly! ”

Compared with the loss of the potter, Yuan Shu's current fighting spirit is very high.

Seeing that the pottery merchant had left behind the corpses of dozens of warships, and the rest had fled against the current, Yuan Shu's face suddenly showed an excited look.

The defeat in the first battle of the Wet Dock made Yuan Shu's mood depressed for a long time, and now that he can regain the initiative on the battlefield, Yuan Shu is about to explode with excitement.

He is still in his prime, and if he is older, he may not be able to suffer from cerebral congestion because of excitement all of a sudden.

"Troops, soldiers! Say anything today and capture the pottery thief alive! Yuan wants this kid to kneel in front of Yuan! Ordered the officers and men of the three armies to capture Jinling City in one go! ”
