On the west side of the river in Wuzhou, the reserve unit of Chen Guo's naval army was going up the river to reinforce the main force of Zhengrongzhou upstream, and according to the pre-war arrangement, they set sail as a reserve team for half an hour before the main fleet set sail.

The fleet of Chen Guoshui's army that went west to recover Yingzhou this time was very large, and a one-time decisive battle would lead to too bloated, and it would be difficult for the warship to turn around once there was an accident, so in order to avoid accidents, Chen Jun divided two fleets into a decisive battle.

Everything was arranged, but something went wrong in Wuzhou: many Zhou warships suddenly appeared on the river in the upper reaches of Wuzhou.

"What's going on? Where did those ships come from? Coach Chen Shujian asked, those warships are not many, but they cast a shadow in his heart, the main force commanded by the deputy commander Fan Yi in front should have been engaged in the battle with the Zhou army, and at this time, the enemy warships suddenly appeared, which was considered to be a copy of his back road.

"King, I think it's just that the boat that has been towed ashore a long time ago will be dragged into the water at this time, where can a little boat have an impact on the battle situation." Some generals have expressed their opinions.

"My lord, even if they want to let the ship go with the wind, they may not succeed, and the rearguard fleet of our army's main force will definitely be able to stop it."

The generals made Chen Shujian feel a little relieved in his heart, and he ordered the fleet to move forward quickly, leave Wuzhou early, and then turn across the Yanji River to see how the battle situation was ahead, as for the little Zhou army blocking the road, the speedboat ran away.

There was a "whoosh" sound, and a huge arrow on fire on the five continents shot just as it hit a Chen army warship, and just as the Chen army soldiers were surprised that the range of this giant arrow could reach such a distance, more than ten giant arrows shot over.

Except for the four shots, the rest of the giant arrows had already hit the Chen army's warship, and the fire burning on it began to burn the ship's board, and the soldiers hurriedly carried water to extinguish the fire, but it didn't take long for another round of giant arrows to shoot over.

"How can their crossbow arrows shoot so far!!" Chen Shujian was a little strange. The Zhou army on the five continents should use a giant crossbow to shoot this kind of giant arrow, but as far as he knows, there is no giant crossbow in the army that can shoot such a long range. Looking at the distance between his own arrow warship and the five continents, it is a full six hundred steps.

Another wave of arrows came through the sails of several ships and set them on fire. Chen Jun's warship is now against the current and downwind, so in order to speed up the advance, it is a combination of sails and sails, and the bulging sails have become the most obvious target.

"What's going on!!" Chen Shujian asked with an unhappy face, a few days ago, when he sent troops to attack these five continents, he suffered heavy casualties, according to the enemy situation summarized after the war, the Zhou army on the five continents did not have the current giant arrows with a range of five or six hundred steps.

The generals just looked at each other, where do they know how to answer, when the main warships of the navy passed through Wuzhou, they didn't see the other party release arrows to attack and disturb them, so no one would have expected that the other party would come now, these giant arrows are like mosquitoes and can't be driven away, but they hurt very much when nailed to the body, and there are already three ships, and the fire has spread, causing the soldiers to abandon the ship.

"King, Zhou Jun thought that he deliberately kept a hand, and what he wanted was to harass the advancing speed of our warships at this time."

"A crossbow with such a long range can't be wound much faster."

As soon as the words fell, another wave of giant arrows was shot, and someone roughly calculated that if only one arrow was sent according to a crossbow, it would be too late to wind it, and the Zhou army would have to prepare at least fifty giant crossbows to have the current effect, but how many materials would it cost to make it, it would be a waste to think about it.

It is not as cost-effective to spend so much money and materials as to build a few more warships. Even if the giant arrow hits the warship, it is not so easy to ignite the hull, especially if the big ship has many people, it is easy to extinguish the fire, but Zhou Jun is now firing arrows at the sails, which is a bit of a headache.

The sails of more than a dozen ships have been lit, and the rest of the warships that are closer to Wuzhou have no choice but to put away their sails and row forward with a long boat, because they were disturbed by huge arrows, which caused the speed of the fleet to be significantly affected.

Chen Shujian stood on the deck of the ship, and forced the urge to send people to kill Wuzhou, the Zhou army made Wuzhou like a hedgehog, they attacked for several days in a row, and they couldn't take the Wuzhou Shu on the top, and today's attack will not be an exception, if you want to solve Wuzhou, you can only wait until you defeat the Zhou navy and control the Yangtze River to slowly consume.

"Let go of the wait this time, and settle the account after the water war is over!!"

Under the attack of the giant arrows of the Zhou army in Wuzhou, the forward of the Chen army's fleet has left the northern end of Wuzhou, and at this time, there are twelve small boats that have sunk by the giant arrows, and the Zhou warships that appeared in front before have seen that the situation is not good, and have taken refuge in the waterway on the other side of Wuzhou, just when the generals are about to breathe a sigh of relief, they can hear the lookout on the mast report that many bamboo rafts have been found on the continent.

If it is an ordinary bamboo raft, it is even if it is forgotten, but according to the observation of the lookout, it is determined that there are many firewood and other suspected flammable materials on each bamboo raft, and there are many of those bamboo rafts, and there are about dozens of them in the past.

"You say they deliberately lifted their disguise so that they could see it?"

Chen Shujian and the generals were stunned when they heard this, whether the Zhou army on the Wuzhou Army was stupid or stupid, and they wanted to deliberately let people see what they were going to do next. According to the lookout, Zhou Jun was completely undisguised, and removed the branches and weeds used as camouflage for the Chen soldiers who were guarding the mast to see.

"Damn, do they want our army to attack the five continents!!"

"If we leave them alone, let's set fire to the boat behind!!"

Impotence. Straightforward Yang Mou, Zhou Jun of Wuzhou Shu directly told Chen Jun in front of him, "I just want to wait for you to pass and set fire to the boat to burn your tail, if you don't want to do this, you will go to Wuzhou and die!" ”

'The battle ahead is tight, who wants to fight you to the death!!' The generals of the Chen army thought so in their hearts, but if they were left alone, there would be hidden dangers, the southeast wind was blowing non-stop now, if they put up a simple sail for these light bamboo rafts, it would not be too simple to catch up with their own fleet, but it was not appropriate to divide the troops to guard here.

The warships of the Zhou army that had just hid on the other side of Wuzhou were not too few, if there were fewer warships left, in case they were entangled by them, where would they have time to stop the bamboo raft, if they left too much, it would be a waste of combat power, and those giant crossbows were there, and they couldn't get too close to Wuzhou, so they could only watch the other party release the bamboo raft.

This is the only thought of the officers and men of the Chen army about Wuzhoushu, and it is not impossible to fight or not.

"Leave them alone, just leave the clipper behind!" Chen Shujian was straightforward, since the other party clearly let his side see those bamboo rafts that served as fireboats, he was just trying to make them in a dilemma, in essence, it was to delay them and slow down the speed of reinforcements upstream.

"Go ahead, and wait until the upstream Zhou Jun is solved and then settle accounts with them!!"

The warships of the Chen army ignored the threat of the Zhou army of Wuzhou, and soon after the full sail advanced, they turned around on the Yanji River, thinking that it was a scene of their own complete victory, but what they did not expect was a large sea of fire on the river.

The wreckage of the warship flowed down the river, with wooden planks, broken flags, and soldiers' corpses floating everywhere, and Chen Shujian looked at the shadows of the ship looming in the firelight, and his palms sweated nervously.

"Who won? Let's see who wins? He asked the lookout on the mast to check on the battle, and it was such a spectacle that one wondered which side would survive the fire.

"King, behind, the fire boat has been released from Wuzhoushu!!"

"Less nonsense, who's winning ahead!!"

"Yes, our army, it's the Zhou army warship coming!"

"What did you say!" Chen Shujian's face changed greatly, he didn't expect that the main force of his own naval army would be defeated, if so, what should he do? ……

The Zhou army ship formation, the smoke curling on the commander's seat after the fire, the soldiers on the deck ran back and forth to extinguish the fire, several fire points had just been extinguished, and the gray-faced Yu Wenwen on the ship looked at the east with a clairvoyant mirror.

"It's the Chen army that is backing up, can our army win?"

"I'm afraid I'll lose both." Zhou Fashang said, he stood aside and also looked at the east with a clairvoyant mirror, and both of them looked a little embarrassed.

Yuwen Wen asked how many percent of the chance of winning, and the other party replied that it was no more than forty percent, Zhou Fashang's opinion was that his morale was now at its peak, but his physical strength might not be able to survive the next round of the war, and the condition of the main ship was not good, if he could not win a quick battle with the other party, he was afraid that he would lose.

"Forty percent, a lot, it's worth fighting, get rid of these warships together." Yuwen Wen is full of fighting spirit.

"Then you have to change ships, otherwise this ship can't carry it."

The warship that Zhou Fashang and Yuwenwen were riding on has been injured in many places, especially the sails have been mostly burned, in order to boost morale during the previous battle, Zhou Fashang commanded the warships to rush to the front line, so it is inevitable to be affected, and there are smoke and fires everywhere, after all, the Zhou warships are located downwind, and the fire that burned the Chen army's fleet also burned some of the Zhou warships.

The chain of vehicles and ships at the front of the Zhou army's ship formation had burned to the ground, and the follow-up warships were still able to barely escape the misfortune of 'burning the company camp' thanks to the big pump to extinguish the fire, but even so, the Chen army's warships that were still burning in the middle of the river became an obstacle to their advance.

The clippers of the Zhou army, such as Meng Chong, Doujian, and Walking Boat, were chasing the defeated Chen army's warships, and many Chen soldiers who jumped into the water to escape on the river were fished up and captured, and the whole scene was very chaotic.

Yuwen Wen took advantage of this very rare opportunity to start consulting the 'water warfare expert' Zhou Fashang, and he was not afraid of the crow's mouth and directly asked how to deal with it if the Chen army fleet in front of him was killed, Zhou Fashang directly said that the sacrifice of the fast ship was entangled in the front, and the big ship sailed back to Zhengrongzhou to adjust.

"It's good for the other party to retreat if they know the difficulty, if they still want to force up, then take advantage of them to attack and fight to the death while they pass through the wreckage of the warship."

'It's very cautious. Yu Wenwen thought in his heart, this Zhou envoy used troops to be a combination of Qizheng, but he commanded the naval army to fight, but he was much more stable.

He was wondering, could it be that there were too many uncontrolled factors in the water war, so he had to be cautious? Having said that, this era is indeed a strange reversal of various water battles, especially the kind of downwind set fire to the ship and burned the enemy, resulting in the ship going halfway, the wind direction reversed, and the fire ship turned around and burned the main formation, resulting in a big defeat.

"The Chen army fleet has turned around, the Chen army fleet has turned around!!" The lookout on the mast shouted.

"Such a, is Coach Chen Jun a wine bag and a rice bag?" Yuwen Wen muttered to himself when he heard this, there were no pig teammates on his side in this battle, and the other party looked similar to pig teammates.

"Yuwen Envoy, according to the plan, there should be a fire ship released from Wuzhoushu, right?"

"Of course, if someone dares to let go of the official, he will be ordered!"

"In this case, our army must attack with all its troops." Zhou Fashang said with a smile, "The enemy is bold, it's time to beat the water dogs!" (To be continued.) )
