Chapter 346: The Battle of Hengjiang

Today's wind is beautiful, and the autumn breeze is cool.

The river is calm, like a mirror. Wang Wei commanded the Guanjia naval army in the north, and Zhu Zhi commanded the Jiangdong naval army in the south.

Because there is no wind, it is powered by a rocking paddle.

By the same token, there is no point in throwing quicklime.

Huang Zhong, Liao Hua, and Ding Fengsan each stood on the bow of the ship, and very few people in the navy wore armor, but all three of them were wearing iron armor.

The soldiers who watched the banner saw Wang Wei light the battle flag, and Huang Zhong and the three knew Wang Wei's intentions.

Now our side has a large number of soldiers and horses, and a large number of warships, which is better than the Jiangdong people.

Although the people of Jiangdong are good at water warfare, the elite is even more so. But I'm not afraid to fight, and the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.

Huang Zhongben stood on the bow of the boat, his hand on the hilt of his sword and looking south, and behind him he was draped in a red daze. Huang Zhong untied the big sword on his body and handed it to his own soldiers, and said, "Take my big knife." ”

"No." The soldiers promised and went to get Huang Zhong's big knife, not a long-handled broadsword, but a short-handled knife, but it was very large and heavy.

Under the banner of the word "Ding", Ding Feng also obtained the banner. Ding Feng turned to his soldiers and said, "Fetch my broadsword and shield." ”

"No."

One of his own soldiers took a relatively normal short-handled knife and a small shield for Ding Feng.

Under the word "Liao", Liao Hua rubbed his hands, and there was a little trembling feeling.

"It's a big scene, I've never seen it in my life." Liao Hua muttered in his heart, but after all, he still mustered up the courage in his chest, and ordered his soldiers to take a short-handled knife and hold it horizontally in his chest.

Huang Zhong, Ding Feng, and Liao Hua are all very human, and they naturally have the courage to fight life and death when they meet on a narrow road.

"Knock Knock Knock !!!" The drums became more and more intense, and the warships of both sides quickly approached each other. The trident of the Guan army took the lead.

The warships of Huang Zhong, Ding Feng, and Liao Hua were all in the second row.

There is no wind and waves on the river, and it is very calm. In the cabin, the boatman was shirtless, sweating like rain, and shaking the oars hard.

"Whoosh !!" Once they have reached range, the archers of both sides, standing in the perforated cabins, shoot arrows at each other.

The speed of the ship was so fast that the arrow only fired two rounds before the ships of both sides collided.

"Boom !!!" There was a sound of collision, and the warships of both sides with sharp spears in the bow of the ships collided with each other, because the warships were good warships, and none of the warships of one side were damaged and scattered because of the collision.

"Kill !!!"

Now that the warships of both sides had collided, the sailors in the ships opened the cabin and rushed out, jumped forward, jumped onto the enemy ship, and went on a killing spree.

Huang Zhong, Ding Feng, and Liao Hua are even more so. Although their ships were in the second row, after the collision, you have me, and I have you.

Although Liao Hua is a little plump, he moves very quickly and has a very stable foothold. Holding the broadsword with both hands, he slashed and killed one Jiangdong sergeant after another.

Many pro-soldiers followed Liao Hua closely, not because they were worried that Liao Hua would be shot to death. If he is shot by an archer, he is dead, and his own soldiers cannot save him.

This is because he is afraid that Liao Hua will fall from the boat if he is unstable on his feet, and he is wearing such a heavy iron armor, no matter how good the water is, he will drown.

The role of the pro-soldier is to save lives at that time.

Liao Hua is fierce, but Huang Zhong's ferocity is far above him. I saw this red-faced general, holding a big and terrifying war knife in both hands, and his beard and hair were all open, like a tiger descending from a mountain.

"Kill !!!" A roar of rage, as if coming from the mouth of an unknown beast, with a powerful deterrent, a pair of eyes like a beast, even shining.

When the other soldier saw it, his heart was taken away.

Huang Zhong slashed with a large knife, often cutting people in half, and blood and internal organs fell with a clatter.

Ding Feng didn't say a word, and under the care of his own soldiers, he was constantly killing and injuring Jiangdong people. In terms of horse warfare, he is stronger than Liao Hua.

But in terms of foot combat, he is not as good as Liao Hua.

Liao Hua's body is huge, and his fat is full of tendon meat, and his strength is much greater than that of Ding Feng.

The trident of the Guan family, Huang Zhong, Liao Hua, Ding Feng in the front, Wang Wei in the back, and Jiangdong soldiers after the battle, but for a while they did not have the upper hand.

Although Huang Zhong, Liao Hua, and Ding Feng are brave and good at fighting, although Zhu Zhi's side is handsome and lacking, only Zhu Zhi is alone. But the Jiangdong Navy is really powerful.

They walked on the ground on the ship, cooperating with each other to kill and wound enemy troops, archers, crossbow archers, spearmen, sword and axe men, and they cooperated with each other tacitly.

It's like one, it's really skillful and makes people's scalp tingle, Jiangdong Water Army, water warfare is really professional.

In this chaotic river, soldiers were constantly killed, blood stained the river red, internal organs and corpses, attracting a large number of fish and shrimp in the Yangtze River.

For those who eat meat, this is a good time to have a full meal.

Among the Guan army, Wang Wei's soldiers and horses also joined the melee, but Wang Wei's ship and several small boats did not join the battle.

Wang Wei, as the commander-in-chief, supervised the formation in the rear.

Wang Wei stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the scuffle ahead, his face was extremely cold, as if it was a stone that had fallen on the top of the mountain and had been invaded by the wind and snow for ten thousand years.

Not long after, Wang Wei's expression changed a little, and he sighed: "The Jiangdong Navy is really worthy of its reputation. The last time they escorted the grain, we took advantage of it. This time, it is extremely difficult to defeat it in a frontal fight. ”

Wang Wei has been acting together with Huang Zhong, Ding Feng, and Liao Hua for a long time, and knows that these three are all brave generals, especially Huang Zhong is definitely brave and unsuitable.

However, with the courage of the three generals, the role they played in such a big battle was also limited, at most killing and wounding dozens of people.

Jiangdong soldiers are really elite.

But.

When the narrow road meets, the brave wins.

There are a lot of us.

Wang Wei has an overview of the overall situation, and it can be seen that this situation is not constant. Their naval army, after the expansion of a few months ago, has a lot of new recruits.

On the battlefield, many recruits lost their square inches and were cut down by the Jiangdong people. But when this group of recruits gained a foothold, they also gained experience in water warfare.

When the fight starts, the larger number will gradually gain the upper hand.

The large number of people is also an advantage.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!" On the calm river, a strong wind suddenly rolled up, and the flag with the word "Zhu" was blowing.

Like Wang Wei, Zhu Zhi also led several warships to watch the situation from behind. Zhu Zhi pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, raised his head and chested.

"I didn't break it for a while!" Zhu Zhi frowned slightly, disappointed. The Jiangdong Navy is the best in the world, and Zhu Zhi dares to lead the elite soldiers to swallow Wang Wei's army, which is the confidence.

He also heard that although the scale of Huang Zhong, Wang Wei and others' naval armies was huge, many of them were expanded a few months ago. He thought that he could rely on the elite of the Jiangdong Navy to defeat Wang Wei in one fell swoop, even if he couldn't defeat him, he could gain the upper hand, and then fight slowly.

Harness the boat, launch a wolf offensive, surround, chase, and tear Wang Wei's army. All in all, he has great confidence in the Jiangdong Naval Army.

But at this moment, the two sides are evenly matched, and the Jiangdong soldiers only have a small upper hand, which naturally makes Zhu Zhi a little disappointed.

In fact, Zhu Zhi has done a very good job, and he alone resisted the three fierce generals Huang Zhong, Ding Feng, and Liao Hua to lead the troops to attack.

And it has the upper hand.

Two words.

"Competent."

"What about the drums of war!!! The song of Wu and Yue war was played. Zhu Zhi frowned, in such a situation, there is no tactic at all, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.

Zhu Zhi turned his head and yelled at the soldiers who were the drummers on his side.

"Knock Knock Knock !!!" The drummers on Zhu Zhi's ship immediately waved their drumsticks one after another, striking the drum skin violently, and making a roaring sound.

The so-called Wuyue war song is extremely ancient, it is a drum song that is spread in the Wuyue area, and the people of Jiangdong generally use this kind of drum music on the water battle river.

The rest of the warships with drums on them also joined in when they heard this drum song, and the Jiangdong soldiers and horses suddenly refreshed their hearts and became a little more fierce.

"Kill !!"

In the blink of an eye, Liao Hua had already killed seven or eight people for the first time, almost suppressing one of the opponent's ships, but after the Jiangdong soldiers heard the sound of the drum, they actually mustered up their courage, and more than ten pikemen rushed forward together, and the spears pierced Liao Hua, and the archers not far away also aimed at Liao Hua, and there was a burst of surprise.

Several of Liao Hua's personal soldiers were killed immediately, and Liao Hua was also hit by three arrows, if he hadn't been blocked by iron armor, he was afraid that he would have lost his life.

And at this moment the ship shook for a while, and the enemy ship and our ship were separated. That is to say, Liao Hua took a group of personal soldiers and landed on the other party's ship alone.

Liao Hua trembled, only to feel that the whole world had abandoned him. Fortunately, there was no abandonment of him, and there were also small boats on Liaohua's side, and several small boats hurriedly drove the small boats to meet their own generals.

Liao Hua then fought with the opponent's soldiers for a while, took a dozen personal soldiers, jumped off the enemy ship, and landed on the small boat that he received at home, avoiding the fate of being hacked to death with a knife.

Cao's army dominates the world, but he does not dare to cross the Yangtze River. This is not without reason. There is a lot of uncertainty in the water war.

On land, the formation of the Cao army is coupled with the courage and good fighting, and the fierce generals are like clouds, and the natural field battle is invincible. And on the river, a big wave may transport the ship from Lujiang County to Wu County.

At this moment, the river is still calm, but Liao Hua also broke away from the ship because he boarded the enemy ship to fight, and was fortunately rescued by the boat and almost finished.

There is too much uncertainty.

And Liao Hua is just a small episode, Jiang Dongbing is really capable of fighting. Although there are no fierce generals, the quality of the soldiers is much higher than that of the Guan army.

The two sides fought fiercely, but it was the Jiangdong soldiers who had the upper hand. It can barely be said to be a temporary parity.

In the Han Dynasty, it was fatal to be evenly matched.

An encounter in which the brave wins. In a short period of time, the enemy army is stunned, defeated, and then pursued, killed, and surrendered, which is a hearty fight.

And being evenly matched means just dying.

The river was red, and thousands of people died.

Tragic!
