On the Yangtze River, northwest of Xiyang and north of Wuchang, the naval armies of Zhou and Chen fought a decisive battle on the banks of Zhengrongzhou. Chen's army took the initiative to attack upwind and upstream, and when the two armies approached a distance of one mile, their respective Meng Chong and fighting ships engaged first, followed by the main ships.

With the lesson of the Battle of Parrot Island, Chen Jun did not adopt the tactic of sending clippers to attract the enemy's big ships to shoot, and then the main ships broke in, but directly attacked with strong ships.

Because they had to prevent the upstream Zhou army fleet from suddenly setting sail and retreating with the help of the wind, this tactic was not unused, and the effect was also very good, so if you want to use a fireboat to successfully set fire, you must get close to the distance where the other party has no time to set sail and retreat.

Meng Chong and the fighting ships fought on the river, and the big ships of the two sides gradually approached, and finally entered the combat distance in the southeast section of Zhengrongzhou, and the artillery carts on the Chen army's warships began to fire cannons to throw stone bombs at each other, but the Zhou warships did not see the artillery counterattack, but rowed forward with all their might.

"Cars and ships, the enemy striker is a car and a ship, and they are all cars and ships!!" The lookout on the mast shouted loudly, and Fan Yi, the commander of the Chen army standing on the deck, looked forward when he heard this, and saw through the layers of hulls in front of him that the big ship of the Zhou army was rushing forward about half a mile ahead.

There are water wheels on both sides of the hull spinning and paddling, although the Zhou army warship is against the wind, but it is along the water, and this water wheel and Chang Yi are used together, so the speed is very fast, Fan Yi is wondering if the other party is going to force in, but he finds that those cars and boats seem to be a little strange.

"The iron cable is connected to the boat, the car and the ship are connected by iron cables, and all the vehicles and ships are connected by iron cables!!" The lookout on the mast reports aloud what they have observed, and those who can be lookouts are extremely eye-catching, and can see distant objects clearly day and night, so they are the eyes of a warship, and they can't be wrong about seeing things.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and the warships were connected together during the water war, and basically all of them were finished when they encountered a fire attack. Zhou Jun has really done it now, either the opposing coach is an idiot, or it is a bastard who came up with this idea.

Could it be that the credit of our army has made the other party come to a chain ship? I'm really sorry for the kindness of not setting the boat on fire immediately!!

The famous Three Kingdoms period burned Chibi. Prime Minister Cao Cheng listened to the unreliable suggestion and connected the warships with iron cables, and as a result, he used a fireboat to burn up in the southeast wind. The generals of the Zhou army thought that Chen Jun didn't know how to attack with fire.

"Prepare for the battle, let the first get ready!!" Fan Yi did not hesitate to order, if common sense is not to set fire to the ship at this time, it is really a missed opportunity, but he has become wary of the chain of vehicles and ships rushing into battle.

Even if the fireboat hits the other party, according to the speed of the car and boat, I am afraid that it will be rushed into its own phalanx as soon as it burns, and with the iron cable chain, this row of vehicles and boats is like a net across the river, and when it comes, it will collide with the fireboat released by its own side, it is impossible to prevent it!

Sure enough, when the Zhou army's vehicles and ships approached, Chen Jun saw clearly that there were iron cables between these boats, even if the small boat passed between the two ships, as long as there was a mast, it would definitely be stopped by the iron cable and go downstream together, fortunately, the boat was not set on fire just now, otherwise it would have been rushed over with the other party.

Although the southeast wind is blowing now, if it burns a fire, it will probably burn in the direction of the Zhou army, but if the mast of the warship falls, God knows where it falls, the warships on both sides are wooden, plus flammable things such as sails, and if they get too close and are lit by sparks floating around, it will be the same burnout.

"Ready to take the ship, ready to take the board!!"

Shouts rang out one after another. The soldiers of the Chen army can be regarded as seeing the opponent's tactics: the iron cable and the boat rushed directly over, everyone was crowded together, and the other party was not needed to shoot the pole, and the other party was to take over the battle one by one.

Simple, rough and bloody, according to this method of warfare, if the strength of the two sides is not much different, in the end they will kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 themselves, Zhou Jun feels that the ship battle can't be beaten, so the jar is broken!!

"Prepare a fireboat, and a torch, and set it on fire if the opposing rear army rushes up!!" Fan Yi looked ahead and sneered and ordered, the next step for the Zhou army should be to entangle the big ships and turn them into land, and advance between the ships by hand-to-hand combat.

"Bang bang bang" loud sound continuously, it was the Zhou army warship crashed into the front line of the Chen army's ship formation, some of the two warships hit head-to-head, some were crossed, and then were pulled by the iron cable and entangled together, after the impact, the soldiers on both sides rushed to the deck and howled and jumped towards the other party's warship. A bloody hand-to-side battle ensued......

On the river near Bakou on the north bank of the Yangtze River, more than 10 Chen Jun fighting ships are cruising. Their task was to guard against the warships of the Zhou army that suddenly burst out of Bakou, to be precise, against the opponent's fireships.

The upper reaches of Zhengrongzhou have begun to fight the war, most of the Chen army's warships are gathered there, at this time Bakou is their back road, and the second wave of ships on standby in the rear is near Wuzhou, so they have to prevent the Zhou army from rushing out of Bakou and setting fire to the ship's 'tail' with the wind.

Although the main fleet didn't see a single ship in Bakou when they came over, just in case, they still sent a few ships to sink in Bakou and then leave warships on guard, which also made them breathe a sigh of relief: they didn't have to follow the main force to play for their lives, and staying here to blow the wind was actually a very good choice.

What meritorious service and reward are all false, it is true to be able to keep your life, it is better to live than anything else, it is better not to go to play with your life or something, and then it is better not to say that it is not easy to make meritorious service, and how much reward money on the bright face can leak into your hands layer by layer.

"Ouch, it's a fight!"

"Why didn't you see the fire, isn't this the southeast wind, the boat should be set on fire downwind!"

"That place is near Zhengrongzhou, could it be that there was a fight on the sandbank?"

"Tsk, this large piece of ships is entangled in a fight on the side, I can't say that after an hour, the river will be full of floating corpses, and even the water will turn red!"

The soldiers on a boat were talking about the battle situation upstream, although they couldn't see it clearly, but it didn't prevent them from talking, although the war had just begun, these soldiers had no doubt about their own victory, and the Zhou army could not beat the imperial army that was advancing westward.

The backbone of the Zhou State Navy is nothing more than the Xiangyang Navy Army, these guys since more than 20 years ago after the Northern Dynasty for the tiger to fight against the Southern Dynasty many times, as a result, several wars are ended in defeat, a few days ago, I don't know what means to use in the Charrot Continent outside the Xiakou to win once, the tail is cocked, and now it is just a hard lesson.

"Stop yelling, there's movement!!" Suddenly, someone said, everyone heard the breath, listened for a while, except for the sound of gurgling water, where they heard any movement, and looked towards the north, but did not see a single sail board.

However, the strange tower next to Bahe City on the side of Bakou is a bit eye-catching, and there is a cross-shaped wooden frame on it, and I don't know what it is used for, it doesn't look like a sentry tower, an arrow tower, or a lighthouse.

"Liu Laojiu, could it be that you ate the wrong thing and made your stomach upset, hahahahaha!!"

"Don't laugh! I really heard movement, it looked like someone was shouting!! ”

"Come less, it's the movement upstream, you have a good ear"

"Liu Laojiu, if you want to, go to the stern of the boat, move fast," one person said with a smile, but before he finished speaking, he was stunned, and others laughed and scolded when they saw this, saying that you also have diarrhea, but saw the other party pointing to a place and shouting in panic:

"Over there, look over there!!" (To be continued.) )
