Li Bao and Zhang Shun each led a fleet to kill directly at the water village in Qi County.

As soon as Jiangnan moved, Jiangbei Su Fei soon knew. There is a nest pillar (lookout) in the middle of the water village, and during the day, people will climb up and look across the river. The ships under Zhang Yi's command are all big ships, and they are easy to find.

Su Fei immediately asked the warships in the water village to attack and fight, directly brought out forty or fifty warships, and went directly to the front, and fought hard with Li Bao and Zhang Shun.

Li Bao and Zhang Shun did not have more than 30 ships in their fleets combined. But as soon as the battle began, the results were remarkable, and the fixed ballistas on the bow and sides of the ship shot a rain of arrows from a distance, and the rain of arrows was concentrated around several ships, directly emptying the Jiangxia sailors on these ships.

The arrows fired by the ship's fixed ballista were three feet long, but this length was not as long as the ballista circlip, only two-thirds the length of the circlip. The arrowhead is made of molten steel and then polished to be extremely sharp.

Since Shen Kuo came out, Zhang Yi's steelmaking technology can be said to have increased a lot. A huge open-pit iron mine was discovered in Danyang County, Danyang County, which was the Nanshan Iron Mine in Ma'anshan in later generations.

Li Hongzhang immediately organized manual mining, and then built a water conservancy steel mill by the river. The fuel is graphite (coal), and most of this graphite comes from the country of Wucheng.

Wucheng State is Sun Quan's feudal state, and it stands to reason that all minerals should belong to him. You must know that the sealing of the country is the property of the whole country and the taxes of the people.

But when Sun Quan surrendered, Wucheng Guo was controlled by Zhang Yi, and the Sun family was relocated to Shouchun, and the news of graphite here was basically blocked. Legally, Zhang Yi is now stealing Sun Quan's graphite.

Zhang Yi also took cover, because there is also graphite near Shouchun, and the reserves are more than those of Wucheng. However, Zhang Yi only transported a small amount of graphite, claiming that the steel mill in Danyang used Shouchun's graphite. In fact, most of the graphite here was stored by Zhang Yi and used as a strategic material.

The Danyang steel mill is not very advanced, but it can produce arrows and swords on a small scale. Because the refining of steel is in place, the furnace is steel, which is equivalent to fifty or sixty refining products, and it can be directly put into the battlefield.

Because the mold is too rough, there are many grinding machines in the steel mill, driven by water conservancy, so that the grinding speed is very fast, and fifty or sixty arrows can be polished with a cup of tea, which is very fast.

After the arrow was fired, it was extremely fast, and it directly pierced through some weak walls. Like some small boats with light speed, after a few crossbow arrows hit, they shoot directly into large holes, and even shoot the hull of the ship and pour water into it.

After a few rounds of arrows, seven or eight small boats were missed, and hundreds of sailors were shot on the boats.

Su Fei saw that the Chaisang Navy had achieved great results in a quarter of an hour, and he was also frightened. As soon as his boat arrived, the small boats in front of him were basically destroyed.

When it came to the range of the bow and arrow, Su Fei immediately ordered: "Shoot!" ”

The two sides shot at each other, and Su Fei found that his side was not an opponent at all. The casualty ratio is too large, hundreds of dead here, and it would be good if ten could fall over there.

It was too much of a loss, and Su Fei immediately ordered a retreat.

Li Bao and Zhang Shun saw that Su Fei had withdrawn, and immediately followed, they had already seen Su Fei's ship, but they didn't let their subordinates attack. They wanted to recruit Su Fei, not kill Su Fei. In the face of these ballistas, no matter how high Su Fei's ability is, it is useless.

Su Fei quickly withdrew to the water village and relied on the water village to defend. Li Bao and Zhang Shun approached the water village, and then ordered to replace it with a long arrow, which was tied to tung oil, lit and shot out.

On the ship, because it was impossible to turn lard, it had to settle for the next best thing and use tung oil.

Tung oil ignited the water village, and the water army in the water village had to extinguish these fires. But after three rounds of rockets, the ship was replaced with crossbow arrows, and the firefighters were repulsed.

When the water village was up, Li Bao and Zhang Shun withdrew their troops and went back to report to Li Jing.

Li Jing learned that the two had defeated the Jiangxia Navy, and hurriedly asked, "Do you think the Jiangxia Navy's battle is still possible?" ”

Li Bao shook his head and said, "It's very difficult, it will take at least a few days for them to clean up the water village." ”

Li Jing nodded and ordered: "Tomorrow we cross the river, one of you two needs to go upstream to block the Jiangling Navy that may be reinforced, and the other will continue to keep an eye on the Jiangxia Navy Army." Also, immediately send a letter to Di Hanchen and ask him to catch up with Qi County. ”

Li Bao and Zhang Shun nodded and went to carry out Li Jing's order.

The next day, Li Bao led his fleet to the upper reaches of the river, stationed in the area of Shaxian, and stopped the intersection of the river and the Han water.

Zhang Shun took a transport ship to transport Li Jing's army to a landing outside the city of Qi County.

Huang Zu also noticed Li Jing's plan and immediately brought troops over, wanting to prevent Li Jing from logging in.

Li Jing landed under the cover of Zhang Shun's army, and then faced Huang Zu's army, he could only stay on the shore.

Li Jing tried twice, but there was no progress, so he didn't move.

waited until two days later, Di Qing came from Qi Chun to kill and threaten Huang Zu from the flank, and Huang Zu only knew that he had been fooled at this time.

"Damn, the enemy has reinforcements?" Huang Zu found that his brain was not enough, and the enemy came from Qi Chun?

Being attacked from both sides, Huang Zu was also a little afraid. He is still a little self-aware, he has 30,000 soldiers in Qi County, but these are just a rabble. Moreover, he only has more than 10,000 now, and the rest of the troops are all placed in Qi County, and they are not brought out at all. He paid attention to the defense from the beginning, and 30,000 people, even a rabble, could defend Qi County.

Li Jing's army had six or seven thousand people, and Di Qing had brought thousands of people, which added up to not much less than Huang Zu. As soon as Huang Zu saw that he couldn't take advantage, he hurriedly withdrew to Qi County and defended it.

Li Jing and Di Qing converged and directly surrounded Qi County and Shuizhai. Then all the soldiers of Exian crossed the river and surrounded Qixian County.

After completing the encirclement, Li Jing and Di Qing looked at Qi Xianshang and laughed in unison.

Li Jing said to Di Qing: "If Huang Zu knew that he had been tricked, I don't know what he would think?" ”

Di Qing smiled and said, "It's definitely not going to be too good." However, the lord is really patient, and he endured it for several years before he cleaned up Liu Bei. ”

Li Jing shook his head and said: "The lord didn't want to destroy Liu Bei, but Liu Bei was looking for death by himself!" ”

Di Qing frowned and asked, "So this plan of the lord was improvised by the lord?" ”

Li Jing nodded, "It's true that I came up with it temporarily." Originally, the lord wanted to go up the river from Xunyang and us, echoing each other. ”
