Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Unbelievable

On the north bank of the Yangtze River, several wooden boats on the land east of Bahe City are moving, to be precise, moving towards the Yangtze River from north to south.

I didn't see where these boats came from before! Besides, how can the ship go on the ground!

Just when they felt unbelievable, more and more masts were erected on the land, more and more shadows appeared on the land, and the previous ships had already come to the river and entered the water.

"I know, it's a lake, there's a lake over there, there's a lake over there in Bahe City!!"

"How is this possible!" Another couldn't believe it, "I remember that the southernmost part of the lake is a mile away from the river!" ”

A few years ago, Bazhou, Jiangbei was still the land of Chen Guo, so many people are still familiar with the terrain within its borders, and there are many people in Wuchang in Jiangnan and Xiyang in Jiangbei, and there are still relatives between them, so there are not a few people who know that there is a big lake in the northeast of Bahe City on the side of Bakou.

The reason why Chen Jun's fleet didn't see the masts on the north shore when they passed by was because the masts of those warships could be brought down, which was a long-planned strategy!

"Don't be stunned, quick, go over and stop them!!"

The warships of the Chen army, which were cruising on the river near Bakou, immediately turned around and rushed to the northeast, and the position they were in was the back of their own warships, and the Zhou army suddenly made such a 'land boat', if it succeeded, then their own large army would be attacked by the enemy.

"What can they do with this little ship?" Some people don't think so, even if Zhou Jun makes twenty or thirty ships to break through their interception, what can they do, this ship is a drop in the bucket compared to their own main fleet.

"Even if it's a fireboat, it's not enough. Distances too"

Before he finished speaking, he froze, because more and more boats appeared on the north bank of the river, and in addition to the dozen or so boats that had already entered the river, there were dozens of boats 'walking' on the shore.

And some of them are about the same height as the mast. In these days, the only people who can use the lever are the big boats. Zhou Jun was so crazy that even the big boat was dragged from the lake to the shore and 'walked' into the river!!

How much manpower and material resources will be spent to achieve land sailing, crazy, they are crazy!!

This is the only thought in the hearts of the soldiers of the Chen army at this time, such a crazy tactic of the Zhou army is unheard of, unbelievable, enough land distance of more than a mile to drag so many warships ashore and 'walk' to the riverside, and no matter how it is realized, just think about the manpower and animal power needed to pull the boat, you know how much less.

Isn't it just a water fight, don't you want to be so exaggerated!!

"Quick, sound the arrows to warn! Let the fleet send warships to intercept it!! ”

Several arrows whistled into the sky, warning of change, but then the east bank of Bahe City whistled and the light of fire that soared into the sky signaled an unsettling change......

On the shore, a flat trough about fifty paces wide and paved with planks stretched from the lake in the north to the river in the south, and the trough was coated with a thick layer of grease, and the warships sailed on land with grease.

"One-two-pull. One two pull, one two pull!! Slogans rang out, and each ship had several arm-thick hemp ropes tied to its bow while the people listened to the orders to pull them forward.

Most of these ships are small warships such as Mengchong and fighting ships, so it is enough to use more than ten people to pull them, but there are also a few large ships with shooting rods, but even cattle are used, and the cattle that are used to plow the fields on weekdays are now also put on halters and tugboats.

"Be careful, don't be overwhelmed!!" "Guys work hard!!"

"Keep your hands and feet clean, don't sneak in the oil scrape!!"

"After pulling the boat, everyone has a share of these oilers!!"

"It's all the neighbors next door, whoever gets caught stealing with multiple hands doesn't blame Lao Tzu for letting the whole city know!!"

Tian Zhengyue, the lord of the Hulin Army, was responsible for maintaining order on the scene, and he watched the warships move on the special ship trough, and his heart trembled with pain, not because he was afraid that the bottom of the warship would be worn out, but because he was heartbroken about the oil.

What a good lard, it's such a waste!

Traveling on land, anyone who hears it will feel incredible. So when Bazhou Thorn Shi Yuwen Wen made this plan, almost no one believed that it would succeed, but when everyone watched the live demonstration, a fighting ship spent a stick of incense on the oiled wooden plank boat trough and moved for a mile before they were speechless.

Tian Zhengyue was also present at the time. Like everyone, the focus is not on the land boat, but on the layer of grease, it is not easy for a common person to eat oil in the first few years, but Yuwen envoy Jun actually poured it on the wooden board to pull the boat.

Rich and capricious, this is the consensus of the people present, but after the emergence of a new exaggerated land sailing plan, everyone has only one thought: the money is burned in a panic!

When each ship moves on the trough, the bottom of the ship will be stained with a lot of grease, and in the end, it will also carry that grease into the water, in order to ensure the smooth land navigation of nearly a hundred warships, the grease that needs to be consumed is already unimaginable for Tian Zhengyue, watching the barrels of lard boiled in advance poured into the trough like this, the people present are heartbroken.

"After pulling the boat, everyone involved has a share of the oil!!"

This is the most direct encouragement, in this year when eating meat is a luxury, it is a great temptation to be able to share oil, if you don't join the Hulin Army, then cooking and cooking on weekdays is oil and salt are rare, Tian Zhengyue looked at the layer of grease in the trough as if he saw a layer of copper coins.

"It's in the water, it's in the water!!" There was a burst of cheers, and when he heard the sound, he saw that a big ship had entered the Yangtze River smoothly, and the sailors and soldiers quickly got on the boat and began to sail and oar.

In order to achieve the unexpected effect of the tactics of the land boat, the trough of this mile-long ship has already been filled with warships in advance, and their masts have been designed to be put down when the ship is shipbuilding, and many branches have been erected along the river to prevent the Chen Guo's warships from discovering clues when passing by on the river.

The channel of the ship trough into the river was also repaired in advance and camouflaged, everything was ready, the only problem was that the mouth of the ship trough into the river was in the upper reaches of Wuzhou, if Wuzhou Shubei Village was lost, then Chen Jun could quickly intercept his own land ships into the river.

Fortunately, Wuzhoushu withstood the siege of Chen's army for several days with its own strength, and if Wuzhoushu was lost, then the nearly 100 newly built warships on the shore would not be able to enter the river smoothly and become an ornament.

"Work hard, it's almost over!!"

Tian Zhengyue looked back at the ship's trough, the warship was almost finished, but there were many other things, it was a smaller ship that could be pulled by only a few people on the grease-coated tank.

"Quick, pull these fireboats over!!" (To be continued.) )
