Raising his mouth, Zhou Taiyao saw that the Han army's naval division was divided into two, both of them were old acquaintances, and he could understand the Han army's layout at a glance.

Hu Ban led twenty warships across the water outlet, while Guan Yu personally supervised more than fifty warships on standby upstream, and there were small boats behind the battleships, and Xiahoulan's flagship also appeared on Guan Yu's flank.

Looking at the south bank from afar, Liu Feng's department has gone out of Xiakou, following Xiahoulan, marching with bamboo rafts and boats, sticking to the south bank, the intention is the first formation of the Wu army on the south bank of the Quancong department, behind the Quancong is the Zhu Ran department of Yixian County, and Zhu Ran, the governor of the left capital, is the commander of the land war of the former army.

And Zhou Tai was the right governor, commanding the water war.

A little further upstream, Zhang Nan's department also followed Liu Feng on a bamboo raft, and the entire river was full of Han troops in action, with red flags like fire.

Zhou Tai was old, and several sharp-eyed military officials around him pointed to a battleship in front of Guan Yu's flagship and shouted: "Governor, Fang Tianji's halberd is there!" ”

At the front of the deck of the three-tooth battleship, a burly military officer wore leather armor and was covered with crimson silk armor, holding a shield in front of him with his left hand, and holding Fang Tian's halberd in his right hand and standing still.

Zhou Tai couldn't see it clearly, and asked Jiang Yi, who was on the same boat: "Maybe you can understand the layout of the Han army?" ”

Jiang Yi was Jiang Qin's eldest son and followed Zhou Tai's flagship; Zhou Tai's eldest son, Zhou Shao, died in Maicheng, and his second son, Zhou Cheng, followed Jiang Qin's flagship.

Jiang Yi replied: "That person uses a lot of deceitful soldiers, this false and real plan, today I show Fang Tianhalberd to me, it should be in Guan Yunchang's main formation." ”

Zhou Tai squinted, but he still couldn't see Fang Tianji clearly, so he said: "Wrong, no matter where that person is, our army must raise its mouth to attack." Today, 100,000 soldiers on both sides of the strait watched the battle, and our army was defeated by three points if they could not avoid it. This is just a competition. ”

As he spoke, Zhou Tai raised his hand and held it high: "Raise the flag and fight!" ”

Guan Yu's flagship, seeing the Wu army's warship sailing, Guan Yu smiled and said: "Xiaoxian, this is Zhou Youping." He's raising his mouth and making me feel like a fish in my throat. The naval army under his command has been fighting for a long time, and the elite is still above Jiang Qin. Destroying this person, Wu Jun was terrified. ”

"Yes, when its flagship raises its mouth, the last general will behead it and sacrifice it to the general."

Tian Xin had already seen Zhou Tai's weakness, and the oil raft prepared by the Han army was difficult to successfully attack, but it could block Jiang Qin and other sailors downstream to rescue Zhou Tai.

If the oil raft is 300,000 or 500,000 when the Han army releases the oil raft to block the river, the sailors and infantry will attack the Zhoutai Water Village, and with the ability of the Han army's foot soldiers to attack the Zhoutai Water Village, it is very likely to eat the Zhoutai Water Village, and Zhou Tai can do two things, one is to fight to the death, and the other is to burn the battleship.

I can't figure it out, now that the Han army's oil raft has been exhausted, it is not a bad idea for Zhou Tai to continue to hold on.

Tian Xin asked: "General, why doesn't Zhou Tai gather the crowd and stick to it?" ”

Guan Yu looked Tian Xin up and down with smiling eyes: "He doesn't dare to bet, and he doesn't dare to bet." Really let Xiao first break Jiang Qin, enter the Jiangzhu Water Village, then the north bank of Han Dang collapsed, Zhou Taisheng Road has been cut off, and his army is defeated. ”

The Wu army could not afford to gamble, the Wu army's defense line was too dependent on the terrain, and the loss of any of the five front-line strongholds of Jiangxia City, Jukoushui Village, Jiangzhu Water Village, Yixian, and Wuchang City would be fatal.

Guan Yu continued: "Recently, it has been a northwest wind, and our army has sailed down very smoothly, and Zhou Tai's department can also use the wind to raise its mouth. When filial piety enters the battle first, you need to pay attention to the direction of the wind and avoid the fireworks. ”

No matter how brave a person is, if he is choked by fireworks, there will be problems.

"Yes, the Admiral understands."

Tian Xin bowed, took a few steps back into the cabin, walked out of the first deck, grabbed the rope and landed on the small boat to go to his warship.

A total of seven warships awaited his command, with the help of the Walkers.

Still crawling the rope to the first deck five or six feet above the water, and then entering the cabin to inspect the bilge, the view in the cabin was dark, rows of oarsmen wearing only boxers were on standby, the cabin was full of bows and crossbows, spare swords, and buckets of quick food supplies, and the physical exertion of the oarsmen was higher than that of the armor soldiers.

Their only task is to paddle, and they basically do not participate in the battle, and by the time they do, the big picture is basically decided.

Back to his own battleship, Tian Xin was a little unhappy, these seven battleships were all triple building ships, that is, Sanya battleships; And Guan Yu and Zhou Tai's battleships are all five-tooth battleships, which are full of five.

Two wooden buildings, four or five meters high, have a very different field of vision.

The Zhou Tai forward warship set sail and rowed, and with the help of the north wind marching speed, under the watchful eyes of the officers and men of various armies on both sides of the strait, this forward warship group crashed into the battleship group supervised by Hu Ban.

Most of these ships were three-toothed armor, and the widest deck on the first deck was only five or six feet above the water, which meant that the spearmen on the small ships could also hurt the soldiers on the edge of the deck.

Therefore, the first deck of the three-tooth battleship is mostly melee combat, mixed with a small number of crossbowmen; The total area of the second and third decks is not as good as that of the first deck, but most of them are long-range attacks by crossbowmen.

This is an inland warship, not a sea ship, which is very different from the impression of a pirate ship.

These river vessels are close to the sea, with five or six feet, or even three or four feet high, on decks...... A wave will be flooded, no matter whether you have a three-story boat or a five-story boat, the sea breeze will blow and it will have to be turned.

Therefore, the only role of the Sanya battleship and the Wuya battleship in Tianxin is to rush away, knock over small boats such as walkers, and then win each other's white-knuckle battles.

As long as you jump on the other party's deck, you can kill you on the third or fifth floor.

He watched the battlefield and saw that when Zhou Tai's forward battleship group was entangled with Hu Ban's headquarters and fighting, Zhou Tai's flagship was only able to leave the mouth, and then slowly turned around, but the direction of the turn made Tian Xin stunned.

Zhou Tai's flagship actually followed the current and wind direction quickly to the east, and the warships of his department followed suit and fled downstream desperately.

Tian Xin looked back and saw Guan Yu's flagship beating the war drums, the battleships of the whole army sailing in an orderly manner, and the oarsmen in the cabin shouting trumpets and rowing hard.

The Zhou Tai warship group was scattered in the flight, and Tian Xin listened to the military officials around him convey the flag: "Junhou, the general ordered me to pursue the Zhou Tai flagship and assist Zhao Du to break through the Jiang Qinjiang Zhu Water Village." ”

"Chase!"

Seeing that there were Jiangdong's scattered and evacuated warships on both wings, Tian Xin subconsciously turned around and took a patent leather shield to protect him.

Guan Yu led the main fleet to follow in formation, and when he passed through the mouth, he divided more than ten warships to cooperate with Hu Ban to attack Zhou Tai's forward ship group, and it was only a matter of time before he ate this group of ships.

Seeing Tian Xin's seven battleships getting faster and faster, Guan Yu's heart sank, his left hand pressed the hilt of the sword on his left waist, and his eyes were half-narrowed.

Who leaked the secret, and even the news of the light modification of the Tianxin battleship spread to Jiangdong?

Not many people know this news, the battleship was rebuilt in Hanjin Water Village, and it was always handled by his own cronies.

There are only a few occasions when this matter has been talked about, and there are never more than ten high-level people who know about it.

After chasing for five or six miles, Tian Xin saw that the Wu warship with its wings spread turned and closed again, squeezing towards him, while Zhou Tai's flagship also stopped and slowly turned around.

Here you can already see that behind Zhou Tai's flagship, Zhao Lei and Jiang Qin's two sailors are fighting and stirring together.

The face of the captain of the overseer ship was slightly ugly: "Prince, do you want to gather and hold on?" ”

"If I gather together, surrounded by thirty or forty warships, and attack me with rockets, we will never die well."

Tian Xin's mood was calm: "Raise my battle flag, the whole army will not slow down, and go straight to Zhoutai's flagship!" ”

During the order, the three-tooth battleships on the two wings of Zhou Tai's flagship were the first to turn around and turn around.
