The night sinks like water, the water ripples, and the cold wind blows tightly under the dark sky.

The half-withered yellow reeds on both sides of the Huai River swayed in the wind, and the paddling sound was soft but still a little discordant.

Boats full of soldiers and generals came down from the upper stream, constantly approaching the naval army and water village outside Huaipu City.

Zhou Yu has been sending people to keep an eye on the water village of the Donglai Army, and he has been the most closely monitoring the movement here.

If you want to break Huaipu, you must first break the water village, and you must first defeat the water army.

So Zhou Yu has always wanted to fight its idea.

Originally, if he was well prepared, he would have a greater chance of success, but everything that happened to Sun Ce had to let him take action in advance.

The Yangzhou army was divided into two divisions, one of which went along the official road on the riverbank, from the land route to the water village, and this route was led by Song Qian.

One route was led by Zhou Yu himself to approach along the waterway, and all the boats in front of Zhou Yu's navy were loaded with hay and firewood.

Oil was also poured on it, and oil tanks were hidden in the stern.

Just wait for the approaching to set fire to the ship, ignite the water village, and kill it to destroy the ship and destroy the village.

It's just a pity that those boats are all good things.

Zhou Yu waved his hand to stop the boats, and jumped to look at the Donglai Water Military Camp with a faint light in the distance.

Soon, Song Qian and the others, who were close to the water village on land, waved their torches and circled three times.

Zhou Yu and the others saw that there were fire points shaking in the direction of Shuizhai that were not too much, so they knew the general situation.

If everything is as usual and there is nothing unusual in the Donglai Navy camp, then send such a signal to indicate that you can attack the water village.

"Attack!"

Zhou Yu gave an order, and his water army began to move again, and then approached slightly.

One step closer to the naval camp than they were the elite dead soldiers who had just swam underwater.

The men, all with a repeater in their hands, swam under the wooden fence on the outskirts of the water wall, and then approached the two watchtowers on the fence to be built.

There are two sentries on each of the two watchtowers, one resting and one patrolling.

The arrangement and arrangement cannot be said to be rigorous and serious.

However, there was still some negligence, no one had ever dared to attack the water village, and tomorrow was the day of the heavenly war, so the sentinels were also a little perfunctory in their work.

After all, the military discipline of the navy is still not so strict compared with that of the army, and the selection and training of officers and men of the navy are more free and flexible.

"Woohoo!"

The repeater fired several bolts, and the listless sentry struck several arrows, and then let out a soft scream.

The resting sentry woke up, not knowing what had happened, and as soon as he stood up, he made a few more groaning sounds, and he himself had been hit by several arrows, and then fell to the wooden railing of the watchtower.

With his last breath, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a rein, then pulled it gently.

"Bell!" The alarm bell rang, and the sentry tilted his head and finally fainted.

As soon as the alarm bell rang, there was thunder, and the soldiers on patrol duty in the naval camp were alarmed.

At the same time, it also gave Zhou Yu and others a signal.

"Attack! Open the door of the water village! ”

The dead soldier of Zhou Yu's navy army, who lurked to the fence of the camp, immediately used a knife to pry off the bolt from the inside and slammed open the camp gate.

The boats in front of Zhou Yu and the others also immediately lit fires, and then sent the boats into the camp of the water village and crashed into the big ship parked at the bay.

At the same time, Song Qian and the others on the land also rushed towards the naval camp.

"Not good! If an enemy is attacking, grab your weapons and kill them! ”

The sailors of the Donglai Army hurriedly met the battle, counterattacking Song Qian's counterattack Song Qian, pedaling the boat to counterattack Zhou Yu, and making those who hit those fire boats counterattack Zhou Yu.

Although he was in a hurry, he was not too flustered, and he still showed strong military literacy and fought with Zhou Yu's army.

The entire water village, from the surface of the water to the land, to the external battle.

Whether it is Zhou Yu's navy, or Song Qian's few army troops who keep setting fires, they still mainly burn ships and camps.

The two armies fought and shouted, and soon the blood flowed like a river, and there were countless corpses, which was extremely tragic.

Huai Pucheng found out about this, and Zhou Tai immediately came to support with people.

"General, there are enemy troops coming over from Huaipu City."

Song Qian hurriedly said: "Let's go!" Withdraw now! ”

When Zhou Tai came, Song Qian didn't dare to stay longer, so he immediately withdrew from the battle and withdrew from the land camp in Shuizhai.

Zhou Yu saw that there was no more fighting on the shore, and most of the water village was burned, destroying most of the warships of the Donglai army.

When Zhou Tai arrived, in addition to the mess, there were corpses everywhere and wounded soldiers, and most of the camp was destroyed, but he did not intercept the Yangzhou army.

"Okay, you Zhou Yu, count yourself ruthless!" Zhou Tai knew that he was tricked by Zhou Yu, this guy was really as the lord said, he was a difficult little ghost, cunning and cunning, be careful, and not be wise.

Shaking his head, not thinking about it so much, Zhou Tai hurriedly said: "Fight the fire!" Save! ”

…………

Returning to their camp, Song Qian and Zhou Yu's generals laughed and sang one by one.

"Hahaha! It is still the governor of the capital, and this attack on the camp was successful in one fell swoop, and this time the Donglai Navy is not our opponent in the Huai River. ”

"Now Zhou Tai estimates that his face is green, everyone is stupid, the whole water village, the shore is on fire, the water is on fire, the soldiers are seriously killed and wounded, and most of the ships are also burned, and he is heartbroken."

"That's it! Let's all go down and rest, tomorrow we still have to go to the first battle, rest early, recharge our energy, in order to achieve greater victory. Zhou Yu instructed.

The generals replied, "Oh! ”

And then one by one they went down.

Zhou Yu's tense face relaxed at this time, revealing a young and smug smile.

Zhou Tai is a winner, and winning is nothing.

It's not worth showing off too much.

Thinking about this, Zhou Yu was still afraid that Zhou Tai would not dare to engage in the battle tomorrow, so he rewrote a letter to Zhou Tai and ordered someone to send it to Huaipu City overnight.

After fighting the fire and settling the wounded soldiers, Zhou Tai came back from Shuizhai, exhausted, and when he received Zhou Yu's letter, he was even more angry.

"What to defend against, Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, I really think that no one can cure you, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies are paper tigers, I want you to see what is called a water army." Zhou Tai sneered, and then wrote back to Zhou Yu with five words - if you want to fight, you will fight!

At dawn the next day, we had lunch.

Zhou Yu's army poured down, mighty, with countless large and small ships, densely packed.

Thousands of sails and oars, difficult to see at a glance, the momentum is extremely powerful.

On the other hand, although the Donglai army is large, there are not many warships, only a few dozen, and many of them were burned last night, and they were also pulled to the battlefield after repairing.

There were also many minor injuries among the officers and men of the navy, and most of them were made by smoking.

The sails were lowered all the way, and only the mast stood upright.

Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Tai, who still dared to fight, and felt a touch of admiration.

Not to mention anything else, Zhou Tai is strong, even if he was attacked last night, he still dared to engage the enemy when he lost his troops.

Courageous and brave, he is a fierce general.

The army of Donglai has always been brave, and it is really the envy of the major princes.

However, Zhou Yu will not sympathize with Zhou Tai, the battlefield is more than life and death.

"Give me the middle lane to resist Zhou Tai, the two wings quickly rushed, rushed to the rear of the enemy, attacked on all sides, the wolves tore and bitten, try not to destroy the warship, I want an intact warship." Zhou Yu finally gave the order, and the flag on the flagship was immediately raised.

Zhou Yu divided the army into one team, one team commanded a similar number of warships and men, and each team was in charge of its own.

After receiving the order, the leaders of each team directed their teams to carry out the final mobilization and arrangements before the battle.

Zhou Tai saw Zhou Yu dispatching troops here, and his cold face was still full of murder, and he drew his sword and pointed at it: "The lord said, when you have strength, you don't need to spend any skills, just be simple, I don't care what tricks Zhou Yu uses, I just want you to rush and kill with indomitable speed, kill him first, crush me once, and then go back to the camp, can you do it?" ”

"Yes! Yes! Yes! ”

All the ship's soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

"Attack!"

Zhou Tai gave an order, and all the ships maintained a rapid advance posture and began to kill Zhou Yu and the others.

The ship did not start fast, but then it got faster and faster, riding the wind and waves, splashing like arrows from the string.

The more swift the sail was not hoisted.

Zhou Yu and others also commanded the warships to go down the water, but they were shocked for a while when they found that the speed of the Donglai Army warships against the current was so fast.

In particular, he found that puffs of black smoke were rising from the ships on both wings of the Donglai Army.

The ships were black, with no sails or oars, and they were not as big as the big ships in the middle, and they could not have two floors, and they had a barn and so on.

Strange shape, the whole ship is covered by something equally jet-black.

At first glance, I thought it was burned like this last night, but as I got closer, I looked closer, and the black was a little reflective and a little cold.

It doesn't look like it's made of wood.

"What kind of ship is this!" Zhou Yu was a little confused, the speed of this small boat was even faster than the traditional big ship in Donglai, and it was really like an arrow shot out of the water, ridiculously fast.

"Shoot the arrows!"

No matter what kind of ship it was, the Yangzhou naval forces on both wings began to shoot arrows to harass the Donglai naval ships that were rushing and began to shoot from a distance.

As a result, the arrows were shot as if they were hitting iron, and the tinkling sound was detected, and then the bullet fell into the water.

"This ......"

The arrows couldn't get in, and they all fell into the water.

What kind of ship is this.

Zhou Yu's sailors were all dumbfounded, and then they shot with force, no matter how dense, no matter how powerful, how penetrating.

All the arrows hit the iron plate and fell to the surface of the water mercilessly.

The ships of the Donglai army were unscathed.

Even Zhou Yu's scalp was a little numb when he saw it on the flagship.

At this moment, he felt a strong sense of crisis.

"It seems that our arrows can't penetrate the other party's warships, so they can't be made of iron." Zhou Yu had a guard beside him and said incredulously.

Made of iron?

Don't......

Suddenly, Zhou Yu seemed to have caught something.

But I don't dare to be sure.

Don't wait for them to figure it out, understand the ingenuity in it.

The warship of the Donglai Army, with the force of high-speed maneuvering impact, crashed into the hull of the Yangzhou Naval Army.

Then there was a bang, and all the boats that were hit were all knocked apart, or flipped in the water.

The speed of the naval warship of the Donglai Army was not affected in the slightest, and continued to crash forward.

Then they smashed the warships and overturned them.

Like ploughing, breaking the ground and breaking the roots, it runs rampant without hindrance.

And there is no damage on its own.

The Yangzhou Navy has not yet reacted back, and the entire front Navy has been knocked over and knocked out.

Countless soldiers fell into the water, countless broken planks, and countless corpses.

Countless screams.

The entire Yangzhou Navy was frightened, and even Zhou Yu was dumbfounded.

And this time there is no way to remedy it, and the army is in no hurry to withdraw if it wants to.

The whole body is black, like a warship wrapped in black iron, which is still rushing upstream, crushing all the Yangzhou naval warships.

Behind them is the big ship of the Donglai Navy, and the front and back of the ship and both sides of the ship are full of Donglai Navy soldiers, and they are all bows and crossbows in their hands.

"Shoot the arrows! Free Fire! ”

The ships and ships continued to shoot and kill the enemy who still had the strength to resist.

The big ship also ran over and collided, colliding with the Yangzhou soldiers who were still lying on the overturned boat.

All of a sudden, more corpses floated and settled on the river, and the bright red blood infected the entire river.

More screams were made.

Unable to fight back, unable to resist, unable to escape, unless the water is really excellent, pierce a deep fierce man to drill on both sides of the bank in one breath, and then climb onto the land to escape, otherwise they will all die here.

"Quick! Turn the rudder, get ashore! ”

The roaring black-armored warship knocked out Zhou Yu's rear team of the Chinese army from both wings like scissors.

The deterrent is too powerful.

Zhou Yu and the captains of the various fleets finally lost the will to fight, and set up their ships and drove to both sides of the strait.

It's just that the whole river is full of their boats, and it is not so easy to rush to the shore for a while, but they knock over the friendly troops and pull them into the river.

"Governor, jump into the river! It's too late if you don't jump! ”

The big ship that was harvesting people's heads drove over, and the endless arrows and bed crossbows made the people around Zhou Yu more and more frightened, and everyone had to persuade Zhou Yu to abandon the ship and flee.

Zhou Yu was also alert, and said busily: "Don't panic, put all the boats together, withdraw from the boat, and jump into the river to swim ashore on both wings, don't panic." ”

Zhou Yu is the founder of this naval army, with absolute authority, hearing that the hearts of the soldiers of the Yangzhou naval army were a little calmer, and they found the backbone, and they leaned the boats horizontally together, side by side.

Then the crew quickly moved from the ship to another, moving in turn, and then ran to the last one, and then jumped into the water and swam desperately to the shore.

Even Zhou Yu was no exception, when he was escorted by the guards and jumped into the water, and then dragged ashore.

Unfortunately, even if this is the case, very few people can escape ashore.

The warships of Zhou Tai and others ruthlessly crushed over, and soon knocked over and destroyed all the Yangzhou naval warships on the river.

And those steam-powered ironclad ships turned back and continued to move rapidly on the river, killing all enemy targets that could still float on the water.

This water war came slowly, but ended quickly.

It was yellow and violent, the casualties were huge, the end was quick, and the fear was deeper than any water war.

Zhou Yu and the others, who went ashore, fled far away, and when they turned around to look, they still had some palpitations.

All of them were pale and miserable.
