On the river on the west side of Xisai Mountain, a huge fleet is advancing upstream, and countless flags on the warships gather into the sea to cover the sky and the sun.

A few miles ahead of them, there was also a flotilla of considerable size going down the river, it was the naval fleet of the Zhou State that had poured out of the nest, and after the recent successful attack on Xisai Mountain, it was going south again, and it was going to fight a decisive battle with the Chen State naval army on the Xisaishan River.

The Chen army arrived at Xisai Mountain by land and water, and the original water and land camps of Xisai Mountain have turned into a blank land, and the reinforcements who arrived before were also lost in the first battle of Weiyuankou, they originally thought that the Zhou naval army would retreat back to Wuzhou to avoid the battle, but they did not expect that the other party would dare to go south for a decisive battle.

"Big scenes, big productions, luxurious casts, internationally renowned directors direct, and hundreds of thousands of extras participating" Yuwen Wen said with interest, he was holding a clairvoyant mirror and watching the upcoming decisive battle on the bank of Jiangbei.

Zhang Yu next to him coughed dryly, he didn't know how to answer this, Lord Lang seemed to be talking to himself, but if he wanted to take over the conversation, he didn't know how to say it, because he didn't understand.

The first two sentences are easy to understand, and the next bunch of words don't know what they mean at all, but one thing Zhang Yu can be sure of: Lord Lang is in a good mood now. According to his own experience, when Lord Lang began to talk serious nonsense, it was when he was in a good mood.

couldn't help but be unhappy Yu Wenwen was unhappy, and finally succeeded in 'pulling the monster' under his active 'ridicule', and pulled the main force of the Jiangzhou Navy out of the old nest in Huankou.

In the end, it was "take Xiyang City and capture Yuwenwen alive", when Chen Jun captured him and went to Jiankang City to sacrifice the prisoner Taimiao, after parading the streets, he was cut with a thousand knives, and enjoyed the treatment of Hou Jing, the general of the universe.

In the face of Yu Wenwen's 'ridicule', even the Buddha has fire, not that the copycat version of the text written by Yu Wenwen himself is bloody, it is completely due to the deterioration of the situation.

The Xisai Mountain, where the land and water army was stationed, became a public toilet, and the Zhou army came and left as soon as they wanted, and the reinforcements who arrived later came to the defeat of Wei Yuankou, except for a few routs who escaped for their lives, the grain and grass hoarded by Wei Yuankou were packed up along with the prisoners.

Adding fuel to the fire was the attack on the Fanhu Water Village on the Wuchang side, dozens of newly-built warships were burned, and the whereabouts of the defenders of the Water Village, the soldiers of the Navy and the shipwrights and other miscellaneous servants who did not die are unknown, and the defense line of the Yangtze River from Wuchang to Weiyuankou is seriously eroded, and Chen Jun cannot be used as a turtle with a shrunken head.

If the main force of the Zhou State Water Army is not solved, the lonely Wuchang City will be besieged sooner or later, and if Wuchang is finished, Xiakou will be almost the same.

Jiangzhou Huangkou is also an important place for river defense, and the strength of the naval army stationed in Yingzhou is only higher than that of the naval army in Xiakou in Yingzhou at the beginning of the year, and it cannot be easily dispatched because of the great stakes, but if they continue to sit back like this, they will sooner or later face the attack of the Zhou army.

Originally, there was a naval army stationed in Xisaishan in front, and the Jiangzhou naval army could be stationed at Huangkou with peace of mind, but now they are the only ones who can stop the Zhou State naval army from wreaking havoc, so Yuwenwen really stabbed the hornet's nest.

He is responsible for the successful completion of the task of 'pulling monsters', and then Zhou Fashang, who is responsible for the 'output', appears, Yuwenwen has no experience in commanding water battles and is now watching from the wall on the north bank of the river, while Zhou Fashang, as the head of the water army, is commanding the decisive battle in the river.

"Xiao Yu'er, what do you think are the chances of the two sides winning?" Yu Wenwen asked, as the so-called solo music is not as good as group music, he decided to share the fun of watching the battle with others.

Zhang Yu uh-huh, uh-huh, ah-hmm, ahh

In this case, if the officers and soldiers who were smooth sailing released the fireboats, the Chen army would be unlucky, and then the officers and soldiers would break into the warships and strong ships, and where could the Chen army, which was burned by the fireboats, resist.

"Then why do you say that the two sides are winning or losing at five?" Yu Wenwen continued to ask, of course he didn't understand the situation, but he just had the intention to let Zhang Yu 'think deeply'.

Zhang Yu is not afraid to talk eloquently: once the Jiangzhou naval army is defeated, the door of Jiangzhou will be opened, Chen Jun knows this stake, and he also knows that the headwind is unfavorable, but even so, the decisive battle shows that he is prepared.

Although he didn't know why Chen Jun was so confident, the experience of water warfare accumulated by the Southern Korean Navy for a hundred years was a great advantage.

"It sounds so reasonable, even I'm tempted." Yu Wenwen nodded, "Then let's wait and see." ”……

On the big river, in the formation of ships, Jiangzhou Thorn History, Changsha King Chen Shujian stood on the deck and stood in the wind, he looked at the drums around the ship The golden-winged ship was boiling, and the main force of the Jiangzhou Navy poured out, and he was going to fight to the death with the Zhou army today.

This is a belated decisive battle, since the defeat in Zhengrongzhou, Chen Shujian has been waiting for this moment to come, the last time in Wuzhou, the other side avoided the battle and protected the ship, and now it may be arrogant after the sneak attack on Xisai Mountain, and he dared to face off with the official army.

The Jiangzhou Navy is not weaker than the Yingzhou Navy Army, and they are as strong as the upstream Ba and Xiangzhou Navy armies, the main reason is the geographical advantage: Ba and Xiangzhou are located on the shore of Dongting Lake, and it is extremely convenient to train the Navy Army, and the Jiangzhou Navy is trained in Pengli Lake.

These two lakes are inhabited by a large number of fishermen, who have grown up near the water since childhood, have good water nature, are natural sailors with skillful boat ability, are qualified sailors, and there are many of them, and they can be recruited into the army for a short period of training.

There are enough soldiers and there is no shortage of wood, the trees on the shore of Pengli Lake are abundant, not to mention thousands of fishing boats, even the big boats of the navy are much more than those in Yingzhou, plus tens of thousands of skilled sailor soldiers, the Jiangzhou navy is full of confidence in defeating the Zhou army.

"Your Majesty, the Cehu Lake to the north confirms that there is no abnormality." A general approached to report, Chen Shujian nodded, he turned around and saluted the general next to him and said, "You will have to work in this battle." ”

"Don't dare to be, it's natural to fight for the country!" The generals also saluted and said loudly that this battle is related to the safety of Yingzhou and Jiang, and it is a decision made by Chen Shujian after convening the generals to discuss, that is to say, victory or defeat in this battle.

Chen Shujian personally led the troops mainly to encourage the officers and men of the navy, while the specific operational command was carried out by the generals of the navy.

Seeing that the fleets of the two sides were gradually approaching, the distance was gradually shortening, but it would be a while before the battle was engaged, Chen Shujian once again recalled the details of various places, so as not to affect the battle if there were improper preparations.

As the saying goes, the first thing to avoid is the recurrence of the battle of Zhengrongzhou.

In that battle, the Zhou army took advantage of the characteristics of a large lake near Bakou near the river, and ambushed a large number of warships in advance in it.

This time, the two sides fought on the Xisaishan River, and there was a similar situation: on the north bank opposite the Xisai Mountain, there was a big lake named Ce Lake, which was said to be the place where Sun Ce of Jiangdong trained the navy during the Three Kingdoms, and this lake was very close to the river and there was a waterway to hook up, and the key was that the location was just behind the Chen army.

The original Chen army camp near the mouth of the lake was the fixed point on the north bank of the Hengjiang iron cable in Xisai Mountain, and later the camp was broken and occupied by the Zhou army, but in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, the Chen army sent warships to approach the shore to investigate.

The lookout on the mast carefully observed whether there were warships hidden on the surface of the lake, or whether there was a road that could transport warships into the river, and for the sake of prudence, several warships were scuttled to block the mouth of the lake.

The results of the investigation are that there is no abnormality in Cehu, the south bank of Cehu Lake is only a few hundred meters away from the river, and the warships on the shore can see the lake area clearly with the lookout hand of the mast, so the possibility that the Zhou army hid the warships in the lake is very low.

Of course, they can't see the warships if they are in the depths of Cehu Lake, but it takes a lot of time to row to the south shore at this distance, and it is too late to enter the river and copy the back road, so Chen Jun can rest assured that he will meet the enemy, and he is not afraid that there will be warships attacking from behind and setting fire.

The area of Xisai Mountain on the south bank has been re-controlled by the Chen army, so he is not afraid of an inexplicable ambush to kill, thinking about it, Chen Shujian does not feel that there are any flaws, and the warships on this expedition have also changed, in order to deal with the Zhou army's vehicle and ship tactics.

The car and boat, also known as the waterwheel boat, appeared in Chen Guoxian first, so Xu Shipu, the general of the Liang Water Army, went south to follow Chen Gaozu and Chen Baxian after the fall of Jiangling.

There are wheels on both sides of the common waterwheel boat, generally one wheel on each side of the eight poles are stepped on by manpower, the advantage is that the boat can be sailed without wind, but the disadvantages are also not small, mainly because there is a water wheel that causes the boat weight draft to become deeper, so it is inconvenient to move in the shallow water area, and the body weight of the ship is not flexible.

In view of this, Chen's navy did not use vehicles and ships as warships, but the Zhou state in Jiangbei put them into battle, and their tactics were extremely domineering: the vehicles and ships were lined up to force the battle, and the enemy warships were forcibly squeezed by rowing with water wheels.

The vehicles and ships can be very close to each other and still be able to row forward, so the number of a row of vehicles and ships is very large, and the general warships have to row and paddle if they want to be on top, but in this way, a certain space is required, so the ships and ships should be separated by a certain distance, so that the number of warships in a row will be less.

There are more ships on one side and fewer ships on the other, so that the side with fewer ships will naturally suffer, and the Zhou army will not fall behind in the broadside battle, and the Chen army's warship will be tilted after a stalemate, and the warships behind it will be squeezed into a ball.

Therefore, the squeezing tactics of the Zhou army's vehicles and ships were so effective that even the Xisai Mountains and Rivers suffered this loss, so as early as June, the Chen army rushed to produce the vehicles and ships in Jiangzhou, and the tactical drills on the vehicles and ships were carried out in Pengli Lake.

Originally, he wanted to wait for the Yingzhou Navy to rebuild, and wait for a decisive battle with the Zhou army after it recovered a certain strength, but now the situation is critical, so he will go to war with the army, and it will be the key to the victory of the Chen army.

Zhou Jun was going well, and anyone could guess the tactics to be adopted, seeing that the distance between the two sides was already close, Chen Jun was ready accordingly.

"Attention, the Zhou army ahead has set fire to the ship!!"

The shouts came from the masts of the warships, and Chen Shujian was refreshed when he heard this: Zhou Jun was really the arson boat in the lead. The generals of the navy around him looked at each other and smiled, and then ordered a fight.

"Let the chariots and ships meet up and kill their majesty!" (To be continued.) )
