The west wind was strong, and the Zhou military ships rode the wind down and went down the river at a fast speed, rushing straight towards the Chen army ship formation in the east downstream, and there were many Meng Chong fighting ships and other fast ships interspersed, their duty was to protect the fireboats, avoid the enemy's speedboats approaching and destroy, and also set the fireboats on fire at the right time.

Chen Jun's clipper naturally wanted to go forward to try to intercept the opponent's fireboat, Zhou Jun first lit the fireboat and then rowed forward, and the two clippers quickly engaged, first with a bow and crossbow and then began to engage the broadside, hook rejection, spear, torch stabbing indiscriminately, and then a bloody gang jump.

The speed of the fireboat was very fast, and a small part of it was destroyed by the Chen Jun speedboat, and the rest rushed towards the oncoming Chen Jun car and boat, which was similar in shape to the previous Zhou army car and ship, with two water wheels on each side, and each car and ship had a total of four water wheels.

The difference is that two long bamboo poles stretch out from the front end of each ship, and each large bamboo pole is tied with two or four bamboo poles, and its front end is wrapped in iron and hung with several iron chains, and there are many iron hooks on the iron chains, like iron fishing nets open to meet the approaching fireboats.

Chen Jun's vehicles and boats were also lined up in a horizontal line, trying to get as close as possible without affecting the rotation of their respective water wheels, which was the result of months of hard training, and at the same time, iron chains were temporarily connected between every two ships, and a long ship wall crossed the river.

The oncoming fire ships were stopped by the iron chain in front of the ship, because it was far away from the hull of the ship, it could not achieve the effect of arson, and the flame on it seemed to be very small, so it was even more ineffective.

"Go up, push these fireboats to catch up, and see how Zhou Jun dodges!"

Although it was against the current, the Chen army's vehicles and ships were still advancing with the water wheels, and the main warships of the Zhou army upstream were already approaching, but they were very fast with the wind and wind, and if they couldn't stop, they would collide with the Chen army's vehicles and ships.

The most important thing is to collide with the fireboats they released first, and none of the Chen army's vehicles and ships have stout bamboo poles on top of them, which can not only separate the fireboats, but also put these fireboats on the side of the Zhou army.

In order to avoid being affected by Mars, Chen Jun's chariot and ship had already unloaded the sails, and on the bare mast was a nest box for lookouts and archers.

The ship is covered with wet straw, to prevent sparks and rockets from falling, if Zhou Jun's rocket is really powerful to ignite these straws, you can also use a hook to refuse to pick it up, and the deck of the ship is also deliberately soaked, everything is for fire prevention.

In this way, the warships on the front line of the two sides were holding each other, and the Zhou army was lit by their own fireboats, and the warships behind could only retract their sails to avoid hitting these warships, and they had to paddle back hard, so that the advantage of going with the wind and water disappeared instantly.

Then the Chen army's chariots and boats continued to advance, pushing the Zhou army's burning warships upstream, of course, this would be very difficult, so the second row was still on the top of the chariots and boats, and the two rows of chariots and boats were used to advance against each other like this, forcing all the warships behind them to retreat.

Once the response is not done properly, the warships of the Zhou army are very likely to be crowded together, and then Chen Jun can add fuel to the fire when he releases rockets, although it is a headwind, but how much can be burned.

This is the tactics of the Chen army, the tactics of dealing with the arson ships of the Zhou army, seeing the approach of the Zhou army's warships, sure enough, it was also a row of cars and boats pushing them, and the generals of the Chen army on the boats shouted loudly: "Step on the wheel hard, ready to hit!" ”

At this moment, the fire boat they were pushing had an accident, and the flammable things piled up on the ship could not be burned, not only that, but began to emit black smoke, which became thicker and thicker, and was blown by the west wind towards the Chen army's warship that was close at hand.

The smoke was a little spicy and very choking, and it was so smoky that people couldn't open their eyes, and the soldiers of Chen Jun wore masks one after another, and each of them wore a wet towel around their necks, which was used to insert their eyes from time to time.

"Sure enough, it's poisonous smoke, and I've been guarding against it for a long time!" Chen Bing laughed and scolded, Zhou Jun's trick they had long expected that the other party would set fire to the boat, and their own side would have a countermeasure, so the other party might also think of this, so it was possible that it was not a fire boat that was released, but a poisonous smoke boat that set fire to smoke.

In order to prevent the other party from coming to this trick, Chen Jun's soldiers all had a mask and wet wipes, not only the soldiers on the deck, but also the young men who stepped on the water wheel in the cabin, so it was impossible for Zhou Jun's strategy to take effect.

"Go ahead and get ready to crash the ship!"

The clippers on both sides have ended the fight and dodged to both sides, and now it is the time when the main big ships collide and then take overboard, and they are caught in the middle and have no other fate than to be hit and sunk.

"What's on the water?" Some soldiers of the Chen army shouted, their eyes blinking with thick smoke, and they couldn't even open their eyes if they had wet wipes to wipe their eyes, and it was at this time that they found many floating ropes on the river.

Someone used a hook to refuse to pick up the ropes, and found that these ropes were quite long, each rope was of different lengths but there were more than one zhang, and there were some small iron hooks in two sections, and the soldiers of the Chen army looked at these ropes and sneered.

"The water wheel is stuck, the water wheel is stuck with these ropes!!" There was a shout from inside the cabin, and everyone poked their heads out to see that there was a problem with the water wheels on both sides, which had gradually become stuck and unable to move because of the ropes that had been twisted into them.

"Sure enough, it was a rope that floated over and wrenched the water wheel!" Some generals were not afraid of danger and asked the soldiers to bring long poles and hooks and sickles to 'clear the obstacles', and the other party's move was also expected by them.

Chen Jun practiced the tactics of vehicles and boats in Pengli Lake, and accidentally found that the rope floating on the water surface was rolled up by the water wheel, and it was easy to make it difficult for the water wheel to rotate when it was entangled in a ball.

Although I don't know if Zhou Jun knows this situation, it is always wrong to expect the enemy to be lenient, so at this time, he needs a long-handled hook and sickle to help cut the rope with a 'quick knife'.

The long-handled hook sickle is actually a long-handled sickle, and each car and ship has more than a dozen, according to the number of ropes cut with three hook sickles for each water wheel, even if it is not afraid of Zhou Jun's trick.

Not only that, Chen Jun also prepared a similar hook rope, but his own side was downstream, so it was inconvenient to use this method to deal with Zhou Jun.

And now the other party really used this trick to harm people, if it weren't for the thick smoke, and the other party approached before releasing it, they would have been able to detect that something was wrong, and use hook sickles, hook rejections, and long bamboo poles to provoke these things.

Seeing that the collision was about to meet and the ship lost speed, the generals commanded the soldiers to quickly cut the ropes.

"Cut hard, what's the matter if you don't have enough food, you can't cut a piece of hemp rope!"

"I'm waiting for a lot of strength, but I can't cut it halfway through."

"Bastard, hard!"

"Quick, quick cut, it's going to collide!" The generals were a little anxious when they saw the oncoming Zhou army's vehicles and ships, and their own warships could not move and there was no difference between the wood floating on the water, and they were afraid that they would be knocked backwards by this collision.

"It's really cut!" The soldiers who cut the rope were sweating profusely, but the smoke from the smoky boats on the bow choked them with tears, and the anxious general directly ordered the knife to jump into the water to cut the rope.

"Something is wrong with the rope, there's something in there!" One of the soldiers shouted loudly, but was choked by the smoke and coughed, and the others snatched the rope and examined it carefully, and found that he had cut it in half, revealing several iron wires.

"Iron wire, how can there be iron wire in the rope!" Panicked shouts came one after another, although the soldiers of the Chen army did not know how to make such a long and thin iron wire, but they already knew why the rope kept cutting.

The weight of these iron wires is not light, but the hemp rope is very long and thick, so the hemp rope rope wrapped with the iron wire can still float on the water, and as a result, their cars and boats and water wheels are so stuck, and they are eager to cut between them.

"With an axe, with an axe! You go down with axes."

Before the words were finished, the hull of the boat shook violently, and a huge sound came one after another, Zhou Jun's vehicles and ships had already collided, although Chen Jun's vehicles and ships had big bamboo poles against them, but they were still knocked backwards.

Even the soldiers who were busy cutting ropes on the deck were unsteady on their feet, some fell on the deck, some fell into the water, and the men who fell into the water were horrified to find many hooked ropes floating, which were carried by the river to the cars and boats behind.

"Be careful, watch out for the ropes!" Voices shouted hoarsely, trying to get the attention of the vehicles and ships behind, but their shouts were drowned out by the ensuing movement.

The Zhou army's car and ship were equipped with a single slap pole, and it was slapped towards the front of the bow, but Chen Jun's car and ship had a big bamboo pole at the front to keep a distance, but these bamboo poles were directly interrupted by Zhou Jun's shooting.

Seeing that the opponent's speed of closing the pole was extremely fast and about to send another second beat, the general of the Chen army commanded the archers to release the arrows, but the archers of the Zhou army were not fools, and the soldiers on the warships on both sides immediately began to shoot at each other to try to suppress each other.

"Use the Wanjun crossbow to shoot him" A Chen army general waved his knife and pointed at the enemy ship opposite, the Wanjun crossbow can shoot multiple arrows, and the arrow can be used as a rocket.

Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of the side panels of the Zhou army's vehicle and ship in front of him being put down, revealing several large crossbows in the cabin facing him, and several huge arrows were already lined up on the arrow slots on the big crossbows, and the arrows seemed to be ready for a long time with flames.

"Quick Release"

The piercing sound of breaking the sky sounded one after another, he only felt that there was a flash of fire in front of him, and a pain in his chest, as if something was penetrating him, and when he turned to look, he saw that the soldiers who operated his Wanjun Divine Crossbow had suffered heavy casualties, and some had been nailed to the bulkhead behind by huge arrows, and the flames on the arrows were burning everything that could be burned around.

The trembling arrow shaft was stained with blood, stained with a little flesh and blood, and I don't know who it was, he wanted to open his mouth to ask someone to operate the Wanjun Divine Crossbow, but he felt that there was liquid gushing out of his throat.

Wow, a mouthful of blood spat on the deck, bursts of sharp pain came from his chest, he looked down and saw a fist-sized hole in his chest, the sound of breaking the sky sounded again, he looked up and saw that it was the big crossbow on the Zhou army's warship firing a flaming giant arrow.

Perhaps because the center line of the ship was equipped with a slap pole, the big crossbows on the Zhou Jun's car ship were fired diagonally to the side and forward, and several arrows were fired into Chen Jun's car and ship one by one.

The hull of the ship shook, and the other bamboo pole of his own warship was broken by the head of the warship, and seeing the warship approaching, he swung his sword to meet the battle but could not hold the handle of the knife, and the strength of his body gradually dissipated, and his legs fell limply on the deck.

"Ho, ho" he tried to say something, but a lot of blood gushed out of his mouth, and the pain in his chest spread all over his body.

A comrade behind him jumped over him and rushed forward, as if he was about to jump onto the approaching enemy warship, but he was shot down by Zhou Jun on the ship, he struggled to get up but could not move, watching the other side throw fireballs at him, and watched a fireball fall in front of him.

The fireball burst and overflowed with burning liquid, and a burst of aroma rushed into his nostrils, the aroma he was familiar with was the smell of sesame oil, and it was also the usual fire oil, and he sighed in his heart when he saw the deck start to burn: 'Why is this happening?'

'Obviously ready, obviously you can see the move' (to be continued.) )
