Chapter 17 Lottery 1
The surging water of the Yellow River flows along the chasm next to Rongyang, passes through the vast fields, and pours into the waters in the north of Daliang City. The water converges in the north of the city, making the ditch extremely wide, and the ditch is full of water at the beginning of summer, and the ditch is nearly ten miles wide.
In the past, the boats on the wide water surface were endless, and the boat people shouted continuously, but today, the water surface is empty, and only some boat shadows can be seen on the north side of the chasm, which is the Qin army boat division, they are densely stacked together, and the battle flags and feathers on the boat are displayed, like a long wall on the water, and there are several tall corner towers in the long wall, which is extremely majestic.
The beam is the center of the world, floating in the east and west, coming and going from the south to the north, I have never seen anything, but most people don't recognize this kind of boat with a corner tower, and even the king of Wei has to ask Yang Wenjun on his side, "Yangqing, do you know what kind of boat it is?" ”
Yang Wenjun brought a Lu Lijing over, this is the simplest and lowest style in the Chu army, Rao is so, and he can see it more clearly than others. Wei Zeng, the king of Wei, looked at Lu Lijing in his hand and was quite envious, this is the treasure of the people of Chu and never sells it to the outside world.
"Tell the king, this is the building ship." After all, Yang Wenjun is a Chu person and knows more than the Chinese.
"Lou ship? What is a building boat, please teach me Yangqing? Wei Zeng subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to take the Lu Lijing in Yang Wenjun's hand, but stopped halfway through. This is too rude, how can the king of one country take the treasure of the courtiers of another country.
"Tell the king that the building ship is to build a building on the boat. Plus the female wall, on the crossbowmen. More than 200 years ago, the Wu Dynasty of Wu built a building ship named Ship. Yang Wenjun explained, the bow is the building boat, and the Chu State also has a building boat, he didn't expect that the people of the Qin State also built a building boat. The building ship is wider than the big wing warship, and there are buildings on the deck, and there is a female wall, so the jumping gang can't jump on it at all.
"It's time to come! It's time to come! The temple man behind King Wei shouted. Yan Shi has been on the third pole, the time of the battle between the Qin and Chu Zhou divisions is Yan Shi, the strange thing is that the Qin State Boat Division is in the north early in the morning, and the Chu Division has not been seen until now.
"It's time, it's time." Wei Zeng occupied a large wharf in the north of the city with the respect of the king, and the officials and nobles of Daliang City followed closely behind, occupying a larger wharf, and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in the city naturally did not want to miss this battle of the boat division. Hearing that it was already Yanshi, some people immediately wailed: "Then why haven't the people of Chu come yet?" If I don't come, I'll lose badly. ”
"I knew that Lao Tzu would have bet on the Qin State." Someone was indignant. Cockfighting is a common gamble in the Six Kingdoms, and now Qin and Chu have each sent a hundred warships to fight in Daliang, there is no better gamble than this, and no one can cheat.
"Whoever bets on the Qin State, I chop whom!" A rough voice followed by more people echoing: "Yes." Whoever bets on Qin Guosheng will chop whomever he wants. ”
"The people's hearts are available." Bai Yi shook a Chu fan, surrounded by a large group of Hakka servants, and when he heard the words of everyone, he said with a smile. The Sanjin was indeed frightened by the Qin State, but none of the common people of the Sanjin Dynasty did not hate the Qin State.
"The Chu people won't stop coming, right?" Yizan is also suppressing Chu Guosheng, and what he is most worried about is that Chu State should not fight.
"With the heroism of the King of Chu, how could he not come." Bai Yi said with a smile, although the issuance of 300,000 gold treasury bonds by the State of Chu was blocked, and the State of Qin was going to attack Chu again, he was still optimistic about the State of Chu - the King of Wei was also very heroic a few years ago, but the King of Wei obviously did not have the ability of the King of Chu.
Bai Yi was convinced that the Zhou Master of Chu would undoubtedly come, but more and more people on the ditch bank were holding Chu Guosheng, hoping that the people of Chu would be able to annihilate the Qin people, and they began to be impatient, they all shouted, and for a while the people of Chu became Chu barbarians, and the cries of Chu barbarians not coming wave after wave, and the other people who were tired simply sat on the ground and ate taro.
"Why didn't the Jing people come?" On the ship, Qin Guozhou was also waiting impatiently. Owning ships and occupying the upper reaches, they only want to start the war early. The king has long said that if he can defeat the Chu people in front of the world, the king should be rewarded, and the title of the person who fights with him will be promoted to three levels in a row. The boat division is not as good as the land division, the title of the land division is like gambling, one will rise, one will fall, the soldier is more than the loser and the winner is less, the boat division is not, the boat division is rare to fight, this one is really going to win, and there is no chance to lose at all.
"General?" The people of the boat can't wait, and Yunhe's generals can't wait.
"The old man of the red mob will come." Yun He stood on the top floor of the ship, his hand on his forehead to block the rising sun. He pointed to a black spot in the distance and said, "Where are the Jing people?" ”
It was a far, far away place, just some black dots, Yun He was old, and the young Yun Luo took a closer look, and found that these black dots were getting closer and bigger. He hurriedly said: "General Yu, it is indeed the Jingren Boat Master. ”
"What formation? How many steps away from me? "Yun He, who doesn't have a telescope, has bad eyes, so he can only rely on the eyes of young people.
"It's very far away, I don't see the formation, it's far away from me...... Two or three thousand steps. Yun Luo is also guessing, and he has no score in his heart at all. The most remarkable is actually the Wei people on the west bank of the chasm waiting to watch the big show, hundreds of thousands of people occupy fifty or sixty miles of the ditch bank, as soon as the Chu State Boat Division appeared, they cheered, cheers from south to north, dominoes upside down.
Seeing this scene, Yun He no longer hesitated, and shouted: "Qi Qi! ”
"Jump!" Through the flag, the order to start the boat was transmitted, and it was feared that some of the ships would not be able to see it, and the drum sounded.
Because there was no anchor hole and no runner, he could only rely on his hand to stand on the edge of the boat and lift it up little by little. The big wing warboat is okay, it is only three or four hundred Qin catties, the building boat is miserable, the displacement is twice as much as the big wing, the weight of the stone pier is also twice as much as the big wing, nearly a thousand catties of stone pier is trapped in the silt, and it is difficult to pull it by one hundred and ten people.
The chasm here is extremely deep, and it is difficult to maintain the formation under the impact of the ditch water, and the building ship will not be turbulent if it does not pull up the stone pier, seeing that Chu Zhou is getting closer and closer, and his own formation is becoming more and more chaotic, Yun He can only change the order in anxiety: "Chop the pier." ”
"Slash!" The bronze sword slashed at the thick anchorage rope, and it took a while to cut the anchorage rope, and the returning hand began to paddle under the command of the boatman with the drum and trumpet, hoping to return to his previous position before engaging the enemy, but it was too late.
Chu Zhou went against the current, and the speed of the chasm was not as fast as that of Huaishui, but in two sections, in the great work of building drums, twenty new big wings flew towards the Qin State Boat Division. The chasm is narrower to the south of the girder, and the ditch is extremely wide near and north of the girder. The speed of the three-pulp warboat against the water was as high as eight knots, and as the ditch widened in vain, the formation of the four rows instantly changed into two rows staggered in front and back.
Changing the formation in the face of the enemy, whether it is for the land division or the boat division, is an extremely difficult action, and there will be chaos if you are not careful, but the Chu division has completed the formation change without reducing the speed. Even the Wei people, who didn't understand water warfare, were shocked by the change of clouds and water, and they shouted loudly——! ’
