——

The military officer in charge of the Jiangdong Naval Division pointed to the ships that were still coming one after another on the river: "Wu Anjun, our army's naval division originally had 300 large warships and 700 small warships. According to Wu Anjun's order to expropriate Jiangdong ships, the government has expropriated more than 500 commercial ships, and the total number can be more than 1,500. It is more than enough to carry 250,000 people. ”

"Okay, the water war depends on the boat, my 70,000 foot soldiers crossed the river and went north, and their lives were tied to the warship, but I can't be careless." Bai Qi said solemnly.

"No!"

At this time, Bai Qi looked at the endless naval warships on Zhenze Lake, and the 70,000 soldiers gathered in the water village were boarding the warships in an orderly manner, with small warships carrying 70 people, large warships carrying 200 people, more than 70,000 foot soldiers plus 20,000 sailor troops, and nearly 100,000 troops and the required military rations were being sent to the warships.

Although less than half of the personnel carried by each warship were less than half of the full load, the original naval warships were enough to transport 70,000 troops, but Bai Qi still levied a large number of merchant ships, which was also to share the losses.

Yao You beside him smiled and said: "Wu Anjun is familiar with the military, both water and land divisions are at ease, looking at today's famous generals of the following countries are unsurpassed, even if you look at the past and the present, I am afraid that only Wu Qi is the only one who can compare with Wu Anjun." ”

"As long as it is related to fighting, I need to know it, so that I can win the battle and conquer it. When it comes to water warfare, although you Yao You are an army brute, you are also a good hand, and I won't be wrong. Bai Qi responded with a smile, holding the Chiyou Ancient Sword on the side of the hanging waist with his right hand, and then waved his left hand: "Go, follow me to see!" ”

As they spoke, the two began to board many nearby warships to inspect. Coming to the position of the formation of large warships, Bai Qi boarded the warship, the ship was built on three floors, each floor was arranged with a row of female walls, a battle grid, and a huge beating pole was installed, and a drum and trumpet flag-bearer and crossbowmen were set up on the top floor, and the ship's side deck was loaded with chariots, grain, grass, and baggage.

The white sailor warship can not only attack the enemy ship with a slap stick, but also use its own gravity to plow and sink the enemy ship, and its power should not be underestimated. This kind of warship was first created by Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the person who commanded the Wu State Sailor composed of this kind of building ship was the famous Wu Zixu.

After inspecting the building ship, Bai Qi explored another new type of ship, since the town of Jiangdong, compared with the Chu State did not pay attention to the naval division, Bai Qi is just the opposite, its emphasis on the naval division is no less than the army division, the new type of ship is Bai Qi more than ten years in Jiangdong to study the water warfare tactics and was born.

When Bai Qi named the new type of ship, he said: "The outer narrow and long is called Mengchong, which is used to conflict with enemy ships. Therefore, it is named "Ship Fighting Ship", or "Ship Fighter", or "Fighting Ship".

The Stern Fighter was a powerful defensive offensive warship, a new type of small warship that could accommodate thirty-seven men, and its appearance was narrow and long, so it was extremely fast, and these characteristics were obviously used to facilitate surprise attacks on enemy ships. The ship is covered with raw cowhide and rhinoceros skin for fire prevention, the two compartments are opened, there are crossbow windows and spear holes on the left and right, the attack can be far and near, the enemy can not enter, and the arrow and stone can not be defeated.

The ship is a new type of warship born from the white to build an invincible sailor and a collection of skilled craftsmen to concentrate on the birth of a new type of warship, the name of "ship" is the first of the white start, the Spring and Autumn Period, the "ship" is called the "threshold" or "Jian", until the Jiangdong Navy has a fighting ship, there is the title of "ship", the three titles are different but the meaning is the same, namely: the upper and lower heavy plates are called "thresholds", and the four sides apply the board to the imperial arrow stone, such as the prison threshold.

Different from the building ship created by Wu Guo, after all, the warship is a kind of warship with a narrow hull and extremely fast speed, which is used to charge on the water. As soon as the warship was born, this kind of warship became the main warship of the Jiangdong Naval Division.

It is precisely because the ship has a wooden village with two layers of thick plates, so it can resist the flying arrows of the enemy ship, so it can become the absolute main warship of the water battle charge.

In addition, there are also warships that rush to board enemy ships or rush to land on the beach, called "first boarding", Wu Zixu used to be cloudy: the march is said to be the first to board, and the enemy is also in the position.

The rest also had a number of tactical vessels for other purposes, called scout ships, which were used to see the enemy's advance or retreat.

More than 1,500 ships of various types and purposes were mixed and formed into today's Jiangdong Naval Division. Since Bai Qi has been guarding Jiangdong for the past year, the background of the naval division troops has not been revealed, especially the warship has appeared for the first time today, and in the past, they were secretly trained in the vast Zhenze Lake, and they were easily not shown to others.

Now it is about to turn defense into offense, and all the warships are also put into the battlefield.

Bai Qi has been looking forward to it for a long time, and this great gift is still to "dedicate" a big surprise to the Chu army sailor one day. Bai Qi is full of confidence in his sailor troops, and this confidence is not blind, but comes from the fact that he has spared no effort to build the strongest sailor in the past ten years.

Even if the sailors in the sailors were originally landlubbers from the Central Plains, they have now become the best among the sailors.

After inspecting the warship, Bai Qi was greatly satisfied, from time to time, 70,000 troops had boarded the warship, Bai Qi boarded the five-zhang high platform in the Shuizhai camp, and 100,000 sailors stood on the deck of more than 1,500 warships, all looking up at the platform.

But seeing Bai Qi overlooking the thousands of warships on Zhenze Lake, looking at it, it was vast and boundless, even Wu Anjun's heart was full of enthusiasm, and after a while, nearly 100,000 soldiers listened to Wu Anjun Bai Qi and said loudly: "The soldiers of the three armies, from time to time, will go out of Zhenze Water Village and contribute to the country!! ”

"Weifeng ——!"

"Weifeng ——!"

"Weifeng ——!"

"Herald! From now on, go out of the river to the north, and fight bloodily! ”

"Bloody battle!"

"Bloody battle!"

"Bloody battle!"

The roar of 10,000 people shook the sky, cleansing the surface of the lake, and the momentum was particularly amazing, showing the wind of a mighty and heroic master.

Bai Qiqin led thousands of warships to sail away from Zhenze Lake Water Village, and the first to bear the brunt was the warship fighting ship, and the army poured out of the nest and sailed along the Zhongjiang River to the river.

At the same time that Bai Qi left Zhenze with the army, the Chu army was stationed outside the South Great Wall, and the army was repaired to prepare for a new round of offensive.

The onslaught has not been won for nearly a year, and the Chu army crossed the Southern Great Wall in such a daze and entered a county in Jiangdong, followed by an even more bizarre scene that made the Chu army stunned.

After entering Jiangdong, not only did they not find those soldiers who defended the city, but even the people in the city were gone, and the Chu army entered more than a dozen cities one after another, all of which became ghost towns, and there were no peasants in the valley to take care of, which was incredible, and even made the generals of the Chu army who led the team feel a little cool, and the soldiers and civilians in Jiangdong seemed to disappear overnight, which was really weird.
