"One-two... One or two... One, two.." In the rhythmic shouting, Zhou Jun's hands were paddling hard according to the rhythm, and the perennial drill came in handy at this time, and the speed of the clipper became faster and faster, rushing forward. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Each clipper has more than 50 drivers, and the long boats on both sides are densely packed, making these long and narrow clippers look like centipedes, and each ship has drummers beating drums, and the dense drums like raindrops are incessant, igniting the fighting spirit of the soldiers on board.

Everything seems to be back to the usual games, when countless clippers are racing on the lake, the drums are uplifting, all distractions are left behind, and the only thought is to row to the rhythm.

In the middle of the cabin, there are many soldiers, they are wearing heavy armor, holding long contradictory cards, bows and arrows and swords at their waists, one by one they are closing their eyes to recuperate, and the water outside the porthole splashes from time to time, which is the splash caused by the stone projectiles and giant arrows fired by the enemy in front of them falling into the water.

There was a "bang", the roof of the cabin shook, and the soldiers looked up, only to see that the roof of the cabin was pierced by a huge arrow, and the arrow probed into the cabin for an inch.

The roof was about five inches thick, covered with pigskins, and the huge arrows fired by the enemy's crossbow almost broke the defense, so you can imagine what would happen if a person was hit by an arrow, and the soldiers in the cabin didn't think much about it, but they heard the governor shout: "It's time to rush the beach!" Get ready, everyone! ”

As soon as they finished speaking, the soldiers heard a myriad of sounds in front of them, including the whistling of crossbows, the neighing of horses, the "crackling" of burning wood, the wailing, and the clanging of arrows as they hit their armor.

"Ready, ready!"

With the shouting, the speed of the ship suddenly slowed down, the bow of the ship seemed to hit something, the bottom of the boat came from the sound of rubbing, the hull of the boat froze, and many people involuntarily leaned forward.

The ship came to a halt, and the Governor looked outside through the observation hole, then shouted at the top of his throat: "Ready, listen to my orders... Three, two, one.... Open the hatch!! ”

The hatch in front of the ship suddenly opened, falling like a drawbridge of the city gate, showing the soldiers in front of the dense wooden piles on the tidal flats, and looking up, it was the smoky Chen Jun Lu Village.

On the left and right of their own ships, they were densely packed with their own warships, some of which had already caught fire, some of which had been smashed with stone bullets, and some of which were blocked by wooden stakes on the tidal flats, and had no way to rush to the beach.

More warships forced their way to the beach, jumping off countless soldiers and heading for the enemy camp on the shore with arrows.

"Rush, rush!!"

The Governor drew his saber and pointed at the shore, and the soldiers jumped out of the boat, and the soldiers then jumped off the boat one after another, stepping on the muddy mud and rushing forward, their feet sinking into the mud to varying degrees, causing them to travel slowly and become a live target for the archers of Chen's army.

The soldiers who opened the way in front of them with large shields were the best targets for Chen's crossbows, and many of them were shot in the torso by the huge arrows that came through the shield, and fell to the ground like fish in a harpoon, while many more continued to rush forward.

Many people bent their bows and arrows to shoot at each other, because there was no shield to cover them, and everyone carried several arrows like hedgehogs, although they looked very miserable, but the double armor on their bodies protected them from harm, and did not avoid arrows so that the casualty rate increased sharply, and at the same time, the benefit was that for every arrow shot, one person would be killed.

The Chen army was preparing for the Zhou army to attack the land by water, and the Zhou army had also practiced the beach-grabbing landing for a long time, and the landing drills carried out from time to time every month gave everyone confidence and became accustomed to fighting in the mud of the tidal flats, and even those dense wooden stakes became their own shields to avoid arrows.

Many Zhou warships on the beach were equipped with archers, with their tall hulls and Chen Jun archers in the Lu Zhai to shoot, and there were big crossbows on the ship to keep firing rockets at the landing village, the battle between the two sides entered the white heat as soon as it came up, and the Zhou army that landed on a large scale was obviously to gain a firm foothold on the river bank and attack the Chen army Lu Zhai.

The heavy thunderbolt was carried off the ship by the soldiers, transported across the tidal flats, and then approached the camp fence with arrows, but the short distance took quite a long time, and every step of the way, someone would be shot by the arrows, and the blood splashed red stained the thunder they transported.

Of course, Chen Jun knew that the Zhou army had a thunderstorm, so the Zhou soldiers who transported the thunder were the first target of the Chen army's crossbowmen to snipe, and seeing that the other party was approaching the camp fence, the dead soldiers who were ready took up their weapons and jumped off the wall to rush towards the advancing Zhou soldiers.

The sharp-tipped hammer, which had already burned red, only needed one or two strokes to detonate the thunder in Zhou Bing's hands, although he was inevitably crushed, but at least he could get a generous pension: their lives had already been bought by Shangguan.

The thunder continued to sound, some of the thunderbolts were detonated in advance by the dead soldiers of the Chen army, but more thunderbolts were detonated at the fence of the Chen army's camp, and in the thick smoke, the Zhou soldiers with feather arrows on their bodies howled and rushed into the camp, and the Chen soldiers who surrounded them were mixed up.

The dust is flying, many soldiers and horses rushed to the landing village, that is not far away Xincai City sent reinforcements, reinforcements as a horn of the riverside Lu Village, Xincai is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, just north of Caishan in Jiangxinzhou, is the location of the landing point of the Hengjiang iron cable on its north side.

In order to prevent the Zhou army from attacking Jiangbei and cutting off the Hengjiang iron cable, the Chen army deployed additional heavy troops in Xincai, and now the Zhou army really came to attack, thinking that the riverside land village could make it difficult to retreat, but did not expect the opponent's offensive to be so fierce.

Looking at the dense beaching warships by the river, and then looking at Cai Shan in the river, the general of the Chen army realized that he still underestimated the determination of the Zhou army: as soon as the other party came up, he was afraid that he would be desperate.

Xincai County is under the jurisdiction of Jinzhou, Jinzhou is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and its west side borders Qizhou under the jurisdiction of the Huangzhou Governor's Office of Zhou.

Therefore, Xincai's troops are actually a little stretched, but later, in order to strengthen the defense of Caishan's Hengjiang iron cable, reinforcements were transferred from Jiangzhou on the south bank of the downstream to strengthen the defense.

As a result, now the other side has not won the water battle, and at the same time sent troops to land on the north bank to attack, the generals of the Chen army are a little incredulous about this, because judging from the current situation, so many Zhou troops have landed in Jiangbei to attack Xincai, in case the Zhou army loses the water battle, these soldiers and horses who have come ashore have no way to retreat, and there is only a dead end.

Where did the Zhou army get the confidence to ensure that the water war would be won?

"Cavalry! It's the cavalry of the Zhou army! ”

Follow the prestige, but see the dust on the river bank west of his own Luzhai, many cavalry towards his side, looking at their number, I am afraid of no less than hundreds.

"The Zhou army has even transported the cavalry to the shore! So much! ”

"Charge! Blow the trumpet! Drive the North captives into the water! ”
