The Dongwu Navy who were waiting for it was not a sneak attack by enemy soldiers, but the unpredictable ghostly and terrifying **. When the first battleship on the outskirts of the water village was blown up, Xu Sheng knew that something was wrong.

If the attack is on people, no matter how fierce the enemy is, there are always traces to follow, and since there are traces to follow, there is a way to deal with them. However, ** floating in the water, some only show a small section, and some are simply half-floating and half-submerging under the water, completely without a trace, how to fight such an enemy?

This is like the way of martial arts, the so-called no tricks to win have tricks, as long as you have tricks, no matter how tricky the tricks are, there is always a way to crack it, the most afraid is to come and go without a trace, there are no tricks, how to crack it?

The attack is similar, often until the explosion begins to explode, they can not know that they have been attacked, but this time it is too late, because at this time, it is the time when the ** has reached the destination and the lead has burned out. One starts to explode, and the others will explode in quick succession.

At this time, it is too late to take any measures. The only thing that can deal with the best is the fishing net array, but the fishing net array should be arranged upstream to play a role in early prevention. Now ** has exploded in the fleet, and everyone knows that those fishnet arrays are finished.

The enemy's attack was approaching, and the decision-making level of the Soochow Navy was stunned to find that all the countermeasures taken before were ineffective, and they had to hurriedly adjust their countermeasures.

Although it is too late to rush to respond now, and large losses are inevitable, it is even less advisable to sit back and wait if you do not respond proactively. Under Xu Sheng's orders, the various units of the Soochow Navy readjusted their action plans, and soon they were busy.

Although their response was not timely, it was also wise, first of all, evacuation, evacuation. There are a large number of ** floating over on the front of the water village, and it is impossible to sail anymore, Xu Sheng ordered people to urgently pick up the two sides of the water village ~ away, so that the boats can break through to these two sides.

Fortunately, it was the first day of camping, the two sides of the water village were not completely encircled, and the wooden piles nailed down in some places were relatively sparse, and the Dongwu sailors soon made a big gap on both sides of the water village, and the ships rushed to break through to these two gaps, and then fled into the tributaries.

Xu Sheng's second response was to rebuild the fishing net array. The fishing nets were originally prepared according to the purpose of a large amount of consumption, and they were originally prepared to be constantly blown up by the Shu army, and then re-pulled, and then blown up, so the number of preparations prepared by the Dongwu Navy was very large, except for the ones that were sent out to pull up before, the inventory was at least three times as much.

Xu Sheng urgently mobilized the remaining warships and even some small transport boats, and let them drive to the upper reaches of the water village to re-raise the fishing net barrier to prevent the Shu army from continuing to cause damage to the fleet. Having received the general's order, the ships had to brave enemy fire and move forward.

In the process of advancing, from time to time, a ship was hit by ** and was blown up. However, the war was brutal, Moscow did not believe in tears, and neither did the Soochow naval army, and these new dragnet boats, after being blown up a third of them, finally restarted the fishing net array in the upper reaches of the water village.

However, they didn't get much because it was too late and they were too slow to react. At the time of the explosion of the first **, most of the ** had already floated into the water village of Dongwu, densely mixed in the Dongwu fleet, and at this time, there was basically no ** upstream to continue to float over.

There are constantly ** explosions in the water village, raising a column of water that soars to the sky, and there are constantly ships that are blown up to the ground with sawdust, and screams and shouts come and go. Some boats caught fire, the flames soared to the sky, not only the water village was bright, but the firelight even reflected on the opposite shore was also a piece of red, quite the artistic conception of burning the red cliffs in those years.

Another countermeasure of the Soochow Navy is to use a long bamboo pole to top ~ the ** floating on the water, try to keep them away from the ship, so that they will cause less damage to the ship when they explode, of course, most of the soldiers who are responsible for supporting the bamboo pole will not survive, but under the drive of the general, those soldiers know that they will die and have to do it.

This is the same as the feat of blocking the eye-catching with the chest and blowing up the bunker with the hand support ~ pill bag, all of which are heroes who sacrificed heroically for the overall situation. However, even so, it is impossible to completely avoid damage to the ship, and there are some ** that are semi-floating under the water, and the flesh ~ eyes of the big night can't detect their existence at all, and they can't be separated by a bamboo pole.

Such a ** is the most damaging to the ship, often a big hole is a bomb, and the holes are all below the waterline, and the river water pours into these holes, and it can quickly fill the corresponding cabin. A small ship without a sealed cabin will sink in an instant, and a large ship with a sealed cabin is better, and it can support a little longer, but if you are unlucky, and you are bombed by multiple ** at the same time, you will not be able to avoid the fate of sinking in the end.

The sky in the east is white, and the fire in the Dongwu Water Village is still blazing, and some of the ships on fire have not yet burned out and sunk, but the boats that can still be driven have all escaped from the gaps on both sides of the water village, and retreated into the two tributaries to temporarily avoid the edge of the Shu army.

When this kind of army is defeated like a mountain, it is most afraid that the enemy will pursue and beat the water dogs, so the Dongwu Navy is also cautious when retreating, fully alert, and ready to engage at any time.

Although it is not dark and windy tonight, the light is not too good, and under such a night, the Shu army cannot pursue at all. It wasn't until dawn that dozens of big ships in the Shu army chased over, but these ships did not enter the Dongwu Water Village, but separated into two groups and chased them into the tributaries on both sides.

There were not many of these pursuers, and with such a division, there were only about twenty ships left in each tributary. However, the boats did not go far, and when they entered the tributary, they found a relatively narrow part of the river and stopped, gathered together, and did not pursue any more.

It's not that Huang Xu didn't want to chase and kill the Dongwu Navy in one go, and completely wiped them out when they were defeated and frightened, but it was really that the Shu Army didn't have a decent Navy at all.

There is not even a navy, the ships of the Shu army are all temporarily requisitioned civilian ships, and the so-called naval army is also the original army and some temporarily requisitioned civilian husbands. It's good that they can get on the boat and carry them without seasickness, but it's impossible to get them to fight in the water.

Of course, the special combat personnel are an exception, and those people are all one in a thousand and have been specially trained to fight in various environments, but unfortunately the number of them is too small, and their role in the operation of the large army is very limited.

Huang Xu knew that he couldn't take advantage of the victory to pursue and swallow the Eastern Wu naval army in one bite, so he could only retreat and trap them. The dozens of ships that chased after me were not loaded with soldiers ready for battle, but with stones and sandbags.

Huang Xu deliberately selected these larger merchant ships, filled them all with these heavy things, and then selected the narrow parts of the river, scuttled all these ships, and used them to block the river.

Of course, these boats are not scuttled indiscriminately, in addition to choosing the narrow part of the river, the location of the sinking of each boat also needs to be carefully selected, and in some places the riverbed is deep, and even two boats are stacked on top of each other. Twenty large transport ships sank in a narrow part of the river, enough to clog the river to death.

What is said here is that for the large and medium-sized warships in Soochow that have a draft ~ very ~ deep, the river can still pass, otherwise it will cause the river to flood? Not only is the river water unimpeded, but even some small boats, such as fishing boats and boats, with a shallow draft, can barely pass.
