Chen's army arrived in Jiangzhou, and the Zhou army, which occupied Jingling County in Yingzhou, retreated without a fight, and Yangxin, southeast of Wuchang, also gave up and retreated straight to Wuchang.

Chen army to the northwest to regain Wuchang must ensure the safety of the back road Yangxin, and the Zhou army stationed on Wuzhou is the biggest threat, after sending a sentinel ship to risk death to reconnoiter several times, Chen Jun found out that the Zhou army has strengthened the defense in Wuzhou, so it decided to sail north to attack Wuzhou.

Fan Yi, the deputy commander of a large golden-winged ship on the Huangkou River, was convening the generals to discuss the military situation, and according to the information they had discovered not long ago, they learned that the naval army of the Zhou State had been assembled in Fankou in Wuchang, and they were waiting for their warships to go upstream, and they would start a decisive battle.

"How many warships are there in the Zhou State Navy?"

"The Zhou army surrounded Wuchang as thin as an iron barrel, and it was impossible to approach Fankou, so it was not clear to see, but if the other party wanted to intercept our army near Wuchang, he wanted to transfer the main force from Xiakou."

"How dare they divide their troops? Aren't you afraid that the upstream Bazhou naval army will attack from behind? ”

"Who knows, maybe they want to defeat our army here in Wuchang first and then return to Xiakou, hehe, they don't weigh how many taels they have!"

"Our army will attack Wuzhou first, and when the defenders of Wuzhou can't stand up, their naval warships will naturally come over, and then they can't help but fight a decisive battle!!"

"What if the opponent's naval army wants to take advantage of our army's attack on the five continents?"

"What to do? Then fight who's afraid of whom! ”……

Chen's warship approached Wuzhou upstream, but when it was more than 200 steps away, many large stones suddenly flew in the camp on the continent, raining down on the warships, some of the warships were directly smashed through the leakage, and some of the warships were lucky to escape, but the soldiers on it were wet by the splash caused by the falling rocks.

There are also artillery carts on their warships, but they have to enter a distance of 100 steps to effectively attack, and the size of the stones used is not as exaggerated as the other party.

It's easy to reach a distance of 100 steps. The big boats began to use their guns to fire stones, and the clippers fought their way to the beach. The camp at the southern end of the continent looked different from before, with a few more arrow towers, but they didn't care.

Dozens of your own boats, nearly a thousand people, rushed to the beach together, see how you parry!!

Each clipper, such as Meng Chong and Dou Ship, has dozens of fighters, so the speed of travel is very fast. A hundred paces away, they quickly finished, but when they saw that there were still ten or so steps from the shore, they realized that something was pressing up the bottom of the ship.

"It's a stake, go down and pull out the stake!"

During water warfare, it was common for soldiers to jump into the water with their bare arms and sharp knives, and it was common for them to insert wooden stakes in the shallow parts of rivers and estuaries to form fences to hinder the advance of warships, so they were also prepared.

If the person who chooses to dive is good at touching the stake or fence, he will cut off the rope tied with a knife and then pull up the stake and fence, if the other party uses a rope instead of a rope but an iron cable, it will be troublesome.

The Chen army's warship sent good hands to pull out the wooden stakes, but the Zhou army on the shore camp would not sit quietly and watch, the archers on the wall released rockets one after another, and the Chen army's warship was covered with wet raw cowhides, which could prevent rockets in a short period of time, and they wanted to carry it hard and wait to pull out the stakes to dock, but the soldiers who had never wanted to dive down came up and said that they couldn't pull it out.

"The stake and the bamboo are staggered in the mud and can't be pulled out!!"

"If you can't pull it out, you have to pull it out!"

"I really can't pull it out!!"

The soldiers on the boat looked under the water, only to see wooden stakes and bamboos stuck obliquely at the bottom of the water, like hedgehogs exploding thorns, they took the rocket and circled to the side, but found that there were wooden stakes and bamboos inserted in the water for more than ten steps along the coast.

At this moment, there were some strange crossbows on the wall, and I saw that they 'banged' and fired many stone projectiles, which hit the Chen army's clipper to a thousand holes, and even the dense rockets inserted in the ship had already ignited some of the warships.

The first battle was unfavorable. Chen's fast ship turned its bow and retreated, and a moment later several golden-winged ships with large sails and swords rushed towards the shore, and with their massive hulls and full sail speed, they were about to force through the wooden stakes that were hindering the landing.

There was a harsh sound from the bottom of the boat, as if there was a hand scratching, the speed of the ship dropped suddenly, but finally rushed to the shore, the golden-winged big ship was several feet tall and the building was already the same height as the wall in front of it, and the archers were about to shoot at Zhou Jun but saw the other party throw countless burning rattan balls.

Before the fire began to spread, hundreds of soldiers carrying the warship had already jumped out of the ship, carrying the ladder and running towards the wall, and the strange-looking crossbow at the head of the wall shot stone bullets like a rain of stones on the swarming Chen army.

The power of the stone bullet is so great that even the knife player can not eat, the rattan card is blocked by the stone bullet, but the hand that holds the card is subjected to the seedling, plus the other party is condescending to send the bullet, which makes people unable to prevent it, many Chen soldiers were beaten to the head and spit blood.

The Zhou army's crossbowmen and fireballs were numerous, causing the golden-winged ships that rushed to the beach first to suffer heavy casualties, but they also attracted attacks from other comrades, and Meng Chong, who had been unable to dock, turned back again, stopped in front of the wooden stake, and the soldiers on it jumped directly into the water and swam to the shore.

The reason why such a countermeasure was not taken before was because of such an unobstructed landing, so the crossbowmen on the shore could shoot as easily as a rabbit, but now with the cover of a large ship, there is no such problem.

There were also warships on the left and right to outflank the five continents. They found that there was no Zhou navy patrol in the upper reaches, so they had the courage to concentrate their forces to rush to the beach and land, Wuzhou was roughly a long Jiangzhong continent in the north-south direction, and the original Chen army Wuzhou garrison camp on it was located in the north and south sections, and there was a large area of wasteland in the middle. This time, after the Zhou army captured Wuzhou, there was not so much time to expand, so the basic layout was the same as before.

Since the other side did not have a naval army to respond, Chen Jun seized the time to land in the middle of Wuzhou, first, to block the connection between the southern and northern camps of the Zhou army, to prevent the other side from supporting each other, and to easily organize manpower to attack Nanzhai in the south.

As expected, wooden stakes were also inserted under the water on both sides of the five continents to prevent the warships from docking, and most of the Chen soldiers went directly into the water and swam ashore, while the remaining people tried to pull out the wooden stakes to prepare for the landing of the big ships.

"Do these people think that they can defend the five continents without relying on the navy?" A soldier of the Chen Army said with a smile, seeing that hundreds of comrades had landed on the shore and the camp to the north had not moved, his originally tense heart was relaxed.

When going out to battle with the ship today, everyone thought that the Zhou navy would respond in the upper reaches of Wuzhou, and once they wanted to land on Wuzhou, they would rush down and fight, but now it is not at all, it is said that the Zhou navy is moored in Wuchang, twenty miles upstream, and now there is not even a small boat on the river, and it must be that the official army is too frightened to fight.

"Don't think so much, we'll take the five continents"

Before he could come back to his senses, he heard a bang in front of him, and then he saw a black shadow sweeping sideways over him and his companions, and a sharp pain came from his calf, and he then fell to the ground like the rest of his comrades.

"Ahhh He hugged his bloody calf, his face was pale and howled, a pair of legs brushed together from the calf, and his feet were gone, and the white bones exposed at the broken point made him feel painful.

Not far away, a bloodstained bamboo was swaying across the grass, and he looked at the bamboo and understood what had just happened: it was a mechanism, and the bamboo was bent sideways, waiting for them to walk in the grass, and as soon as they were careless, the mechanism was triggered, and the bamboo straightened like a wooden stick, breaking their legs.

"Ahh "Ahh

The sound of bamboo twitching mixed with screams came and went one after another around him, he stood up in pain and wanted to find his broken feet, but he saw blood everywhere in the grass, and there was a sudden scream from the south, he looked up and saw a lot of white mist coming out of the south village, and the soldiers of the Chen army ran frantically in the white fog holding their throats, and then fell to the ground.

"No wonder, no wonder they don't want a water army......

As the sun set, Yang Ji stood on the watchtower of Wuzhoushu Beizhai and looked at the retreating Chen army warships on the south side with a clairvoyant mirror.

Today, Nanzhai was besieged, but no signal for help was sent, so Yang Ji sent troops to support, so it seems that the previous preparations were sufficient, and various defensive means played a role, and repelled the siege of Chen's army with his own strength.

"Sima, do you want to send someone over to check the situation?" A subordinate general asked, today they squatted in Beizhai and watched their comrades in Nanzhai resist the siege independently, which was called a torment, and it was easy to see the enemy retreat, so they wanted to know how the situation was in Nanzhai.

"According to the original plan, let the team of the shift change go over together when they are ready." Yang Ji quickly issued an order, in order to prevent the enemy's wheel battle, he had arranged for the wounded soldiers in Nanzhai to go back to Beizhai to rest, "Remember, be careful of traps when you walk over, and those enemy soldiers who are not out of breath should pay attention." ”

"What if it's a wounded soldier? Do you want to get it back? ”

"No, leave them alone and don't need to mend the knife, as long as it's not in the way, then leave them alone." Yang Ji knew what kind of traps the landed Chen soldiers would encounter, so he made this decision, several of those traps were thought up by him and his subordinates, and some were thought up by that one, if the enemy soldiers were unfortunately hit, it would be to lose their combat effectiveness and live better than death.

After a while, a large group of people went out of the gate of the village, and walked in the wasteland by the afterglow of the sunset, marching towards Nanzhai, Yang Ji watched them with a clairvoyant mirror on the watchtower, and after a while, a large group of people left Nanzhai and walked towards the north village where they were.

When the other party entered the village, he walked down the watchtower to meet him and asked how the loss was, and the leader of the team patted his chest and said that everything was normal: "The southern army is all cowardly, and they were repelled before they even turned over the wall." ”

"Sima rest assured, Nanzhai has sufficient arrows, sufficient defensive equipment, and light casualties!"

"Do you have the confidence to hold on to the battle tomorrow?"

"No problem!!"

"What about ten days?"

"Definitely!!" (To be continued.) )
