The morning fog had long since dissipated as the sun rose, and at the height of the day, a mighty fleet of ships gradually became clear in sight.

Liu Sandao carried his knife, there was no fear on his face, but with a bit of bloodlust and expectation, since he swept Jingnan with Liu Yi back then, he has not experienced such a big scene for a long time, at most bullying and bullying Shanyue people, this kind of atmosphere of the coming big war, not only did not make him afraid, but aroused his heart's desire for the battlefield!

"Recruits?" Turning his head, seeing a few soldiers trembling unconsciously, Liu Sandao raised his eyebrows, among this fishing township, there are many people who joined later, because the fishing township is economically developed, Liu Yi's policy towards the fishing township is very relaxed, and many later young people sometimes see that the veterans have nothing to do to go to the school for training, and they will follow along, and now Liu Yi has no soldiers available, so he launched a recruitment to the entire fishing township, so that many of the defenders are recruits who have not been on the battlefield.

"Yes!" The soldier who was asked hurriedly straightened his waist and said loudly.

"What are you afraid of, this armor is made for the generals of various armies, even if it is cut by the enemy, it will be fine." patted the other party's armor, Liu Sandao also had to sigh at the luxury of this war.

In order to reduce casualties, Liu Yi directly moved out the armor created for the generals above the marquis level in the Tiangong Workshop for the soldiers to wear, and the weapons were also the most sophisticated, a total of more than 3,000 soldiers, now armed to the teeth, not to mention that Liu Yi also set up 36 broken army crossbows on this city wall, the kind of broken army crossbows that rely on water power and can fire hundreds of consecutive crossbows, Yueyang City is only sixty-four, and a small fishing town has set up thirty-six crossbows.

Liu Sandao has fought for half his life, and it is the first time he has led such a luxurious army, so he doesn't think he will lose at all.

"I'm not afraid!" The recruit roared.

"What's the use of shouting?" Liu Sandao shook his head, the most important thing about the new recruits being inferior to the veterans is not how bad the equipment is, nor the physical ability, but the gap in this mentality, this thing can't be practiced, it can only be honed in actual combat again and again, but it has to pay the price of life.

On top of the bucket arch, Liu Yi put down the telescope made of bamboo tube in his hand, looked at the green lens, some toothache, the glass he made according to the method on the ancient book, but the colors are varied, how to make transparent glass, there is still no clue, but this kind of colored glass made of telescope, although you can also see farther places, but it always feels a little wrong.

"Stone thrower, army crossbow ready." Liu Yi waved to the trumpeter beside him and said, "Don't rush to attack when the enemy is approaching, listen to my orders!" ”

"Woo~"

The desolate horn sounded, and Liu Yi's order was transmitted to the entire fishing village through the sound of the horn.

The catapults were adjusted by the craftsmen, the stone bullets were loaded, and the crossbow boxes of the broken crossbows were quickly fastened to the crossbow grooves.

On the lake, Lu Meng looked at the city wall of the fishing town that was waiting for him, stood up, put his hand on the pergola and looked at it for a long time, and then said to Gan Ning beside him: "Fish and dragon formation!" ”

"Whoa!" Gan Ning agreed, raised the order flag, and waved it again and again.

But seeing that the originally dense and disorganized fleet began to slowly disperse, turning into a zigzag, from a high place, like a water snake swimming, not swimming directly towards the fishing village, but zigzag, after a while, it turned into a big peng, wings spread, towards the fishing town.

"Ichthyosaurus?" Liu Yi stood on the bucket arch, saw clearly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart The strength of the Jiangdong Navy Army, at least the Jingzhou Navy does not have the ability to change the formation at will, not that the generals can't do it, but the army can't do it, this water war is different from land warfare, it is not as easy as the land to set up a formation on the water, not only the soldiers' consciousness has to keep up, but the level of boat operation is also quite high.

His brows furrowed slightly, this formation is flexible and changeable, and it is difficult to practice the principle of the five elements, but once it is practiced, it will be changeable and difficult to capture, if he meets the Jiangdong Navy on the water, Liu Yi has no way.

He can understand the formation, but it doesn't mean that he has a way to break the formation, and Liu Yi doesn't know anything about water warfare, but if he is defending the city, although the fish and dragon formation is powerful, it only reduces the damage he can take when he is close to the city, and it is impossible to attack the city directly.

"Fifty steps, indiscriminate attack!" After Liu Yi looked at it for a while, he saw that the Jiangdong Navy had begun to approach the city wall, and said after a moment of silence.

You have to target the attack, this kind of formation is really not easy to hit, and it is easier to attack indiscriminately.

"Woo~"

The sound of the horn changed, Liu Sandao, who was already preparing to give the order to attack, stopped the order, the attack of the Jiangdong naval army had begun, and on the ships, the archers kept firing arrows at the head of the city, but the distance was too far, and there was not much power, even if it was shot on people, it was blocked by the thick armor.

Fifty steps?

Liu Sandao didn't understand why Liu Yi had to fight so closely, the bow and arrow made by the Tiangong Workshop cooperated with the city wall, one hundred and thirty or forty steps was a very common operation, and it was a bit of a loss to put it close to fifty steps.

However, since Liu Yi had already given the order, Liu Sandao was not easy to disobey, so he could only take the soldiers to hide behind the female wall and peek at the distance of the other party from time to time.

"Put!" Liu Yi stood on top of the dougong, the opponent's bow and arrow could not reach, holding a telescope and watching the opponent's ship continue to approach, when he was about to reach fifty steps, Liu Yi shouted categorically.

"Woo~" This time, the sound of the horn became a little urgent, and at the same time, on the drum stand set up on the city wall, a famous drummer began to beat the war drum.

In the sound of the drums, with a passionate frequency, Liu Sandao, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately stood up with his shield and shouted, "Give me arrows." ”

Boom boom boom~

The stone-throwing machine that has been prepared for a long time will shoot a stone projectile into the sky, and after reaching the highest point, it will be smashed down, most of them will be smashed directly into the water, splashing a lot of splashes, and a few will fall on the boat in Jiangdong, as long as it hits, it is directly a big hole, and the originally orderly fleet suddenly stagnated.

"Puff puff~"

The crossbow began to exert its might, and the distance of fifty steps was the time when the crossbow was the most powerful, and the crossbow arrows that broke through the air could directly penetrate the human body when shot at the person, and if it fell on the ship, it could also directly penetrate the deck.

The archers at the head of the city raised their bows and arrows one after another, and threw them into the sky, and the rain of arrows that was not dense fell, but it made the already chaotic formation even worse under the bombardment of stone throwers and broken crossbows.

The originally tight formation was chaotic, many ships began to sink, the shields raised high were easily torn apart under the attack of the broken crossbows, the surface of the lake began to be dyed red, and the ships that were lucky enough to rush to the city were also smashed by the rolling wood and stones thrown down from the city.

Lu Meng took Gan Ning to watch the battle formation from afar, and looking at this scene, he felt a little cold in his heart.

Although the Jiangdong Navy is powerful, the target of the ship is large, and once it is hit, it may be a boatload of people killed, and the advantage in numbers cannot be brought into play at all.

"Retreat!" Lu Meng gave the order to retreat with an expressionless face, and the other party was a little unbearable for such an indiscriminate attack that didn't want money.

The horn sounded, and the navy army in front of it hurriedly began to retreat, but the opponent's bow and arrow, and the catapult had an extremely long range, a distance of nearly 100 steps, and the Jiangdong navy almost retreated with human lives.

didn't even touch the city wall, and the navy sent out by his own family was lost by nearly half, which made Lu Meng and other generals look terrible.

Gan Ning took a deep breath and said to Lu Meng: "Dudu, although the enemy's defense equipment is powerful, there don't seem to be many soldiers and horses, so why don't you go ashore to fight?" ”

Lu Meng nodded, and ordered people to bypass the attack range of the fishing village and go ashore to fight, they brought a lot of baggage on this trip, and the ladders and catapults were carried on the big ships in the rear, but although Jiangdong knew that Liu Bei had siege ships with catapults and bed crossbows installed, they had not been able to make them, so they could only carry the siege weapons on large ships and transport them to the shore to fight.

On the wall of the fishing town, seeing that the Jiangdong naval army had given up the water war and turned to the south to land on the shore, preparing for a land battle, a large number of ridicules suddenly appeared.

"Sir, the enemy has turned to land warfare." Liu Sandao converged with Liu Yi who came down from the dougong and said with a smile.

"See!" Liu Yi calculated the time, nodded and said: "You immediately send someone to Yueyang City to inform Uncle Wei, and ask him to send a small boat to patrol the lake, if you encounter a large force of Jiangdong naval army, you don't need to pay attention, if it is a small warship, try to intercept and kill!" ”

Liu Yi didn't know how Lu Meng arranged it, but if Jiangling and the public security side succeeded, the news couldn't let Lu Meng know too quickly, it was best to drag this force back, Jiangdong attacked for no reason this time, although out of consideration of the overall situation, Liu Yi didn't want to do too much, but he must not let the other party leave so easily, he had to let Sun Quan know the pain, and let him obediently return to the united front of the alliance to resist Cao.

"Whoa!" Liu Sandao nodded when he heard this, and immediately arranged for someone to go to Yueyang for interrogation.

Lü Meng did not move all his men and horses, he ordered Gan Ning to lead a naval army to parade on the lake, and if the other side had a troop movement, he immediately attacked from the water, led his troops and horses ashore, and commanded the army to prepare to attack the fishing village.

In order to maximize his military advantage, Lu Meng deployed his troops and horses, this is a yang conspiracy, even if Liu Yi knows the other party's intentions, he can only constantly transfer the army in the city to defend, but in this way, the security problem in the fishing village is somewhat insufficient.

Lu Meng did not start the battle immediately, he looked at the city wall of the fishing village, although it was not high, but it was quite strong, and the terrifying crossbow machine was placed several, if it was attacked, the loss would be not small.

"Order someone to shout to the fishing village, please Liu Yi come forward to see it!" After pondering for a while, Lu Meng looked in the direction of the city wall, asked the army to take the initiative to retreat a distance, and placed a table outside the city, hoping that Liu Yi would be able to go out of the city to see it.
