Looking at the river bank opposite, Fa Zheng suddenly asked Zhang Yun: "General Zhang, how long will it take to fire a salvo with artillery now?" ”

Zhang Yun replied: "It's just half a pillar of incense." If a salvo is fired on the spot, the shells will not necessarily hit the opposite side of the riverbank......"

"Can the ship move forward and fire cannonballs at the same time?" Fa Zheng asked again.

"Yes, but it's a little bit more accurate." Zhang Yun asked, "Fa Gong wants to ......?"

"Immediately fire a salvo at the opposite shore." Fa Zheng instructed: "While Zhuge Liang hasn't left yet, I'm going to bombard him well." Even if you can't blast him into minced meat, you must make him jealous of our army from now on. ”

Fa Zheng decided to immediately fire artillery shells at the opposite bank, and Zhang Yun instructed the guards: "Pass the order, and the warship will fire a salvo while heading towards the center of the river." ”

Zhang Yun's order was conveyed to all the warships on the river through the flags made by the soldiers on the lookout platform with torches.

The warships unanchored one after another and sailed towards the center of the river.

Fa Zheng did not leave the warship as he did during the day, but kept standing on the side of the ship, looking at the river bank opposite.

"Fa Gong, I'm going to fire a cannon soon, it's very noisy." Zhang Yun reminded: "Let's go to the cabin to rest, don't listen to the sound of cannons here, your head hurts when you are noisy." ”

"I just want to see how the ships fire." Fa Zheng said: "If the army can't capture Zhuge Liang when crossing the river, we will have an unknown amount of trouble in the future." ”

Fa Zheng insisted on staying on the deck, and Zhang Yun did not persuade him again.

The battleship advanced a short distance, and the cannons on the flagship were the first to fire.

When the flagship fired the first shot, the other ships opened fire.

On the river, the white smoke filled with gunpowder when the warship opened fire instantly dispersed, and a thick layer of white fog shrouded the river surface.

With a loud bang, white smoke rose from the opposite side of the riverbank.

With the white smoke, Fa Zheng could see the huge waves that were set off on the river when the bomb exploded.

Every time the flagship fired a cannonball, he could feel the hull of the ship shaking violently.

"Fagong, it's too noisy here, so let's go to the cabin and wait first." Zhang Yun shouted loudly.

"Move the ship closer to the other side." Fa Zheng shouted: "Order the soldiers on the shore to prepare to board the boat and cross the river!" ”

"The warships are all in the river, and the only way to cross the river is to use small boats!" Zhang Yun replied loudly.

"How long does it take to cross the river with a small boat?" Fa Zheng asked.

"Each boat can only carry about ten people." Zhang Yun replied: "A small boat has to go back and forth 5,000 times. There are only 1,000 ships in the navy, and it takes five trips, to say the least. ”

"It's better than keeping them waiting on the North Shore." Fa Zheng said: "Pass the order down and let the soldiers cross the river on a small boat." ”

Fa Zheng's order was given, and immediately countless small boats approached the north shore.

Hundreds of huge warships were advancing towards the center of the river.

Each time the ship moved forward, the area near the shore was wider with cannon fire.

Looking at the dusty south bank that had been bombarded by shells, Fazheng's eyes jumped with antiquity.

Cao Shuo just explained to Fa Zheng, if he could capture Zhuge Liang alive, he would send someone to him.

But he didn't say that Zhuge Liang's death in the chaos of the army was not a correct fault.

Since there is no explanation, and Zhuge Liang is alive and in big trouble, of course Fa Zheng will not mind killing this Shu Han prime minister!

After all, when he was in Shuhan, Zhuge Liang's suppression of him was not small.

He didn't have much affection for Zhuge Liang, and in order to be able to win this battle and kill Zhuge Liang, he would definitely not have any guilt.

The cannon roared, and Fa Zheng never went to the cabin to avoid it.

Countless small boats approached the north bank, and when they were full of soldiers, they sailed to the south bank one after another.

The small boat passed by the warship and headed for the south bank.

Standing on the deck of the big ship, Fa Zheng watched with his own eyes as countless small boats leaned towards the south shore.

The ship was still advancing, and the shells were no longer in the water.

All the shells fell to the shore, kicking up clouds of smoke and dust.

When the boat approached the south bank, the flagship raised the flag, and soon the cannon fire stopped.

Fa Zheng heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing coming from the south bank, and the first group of soldiers had already begun to land.

"Fagong, the soldiers have landed." Zhang Yun asked Fa Zheng.

"Do you know who brought the soldiers?" Fa Zheng asked.

"I'll ask you." Zhang Yun responded and instructed the guards: "Ask which general led the first batch of soldiers." ”

The flagship waved its flag towards the north shore, and soon the north shore responded.

In response, Zhang Yun said to Fa Zheng: "It was General Ma Mengqi who led the troops ashore. ”

"General Ma is steady, and after landing on the shore, he will definitely be a battalion step by step, and with him leading the troops, I can indeed rest assured." Fa Zheng nodded.

Xiaoge sent the first group of soldiers to the south bank, and then returned to the north bank to pick up the second group.

The soldiers landed ashore one by one, and Fa Zheng also asked Zhang Yun to give an order to lead the navy to the south bank.

More and more soldiers landed on the shore, and there were shouts of killing on the south bank.

Hearing the shouts of killing, Fa Zheng did not hear the sound of gold and iron and shield collision that only existed during the battle, which shows that the resistance of the Yizhou army is not fierce.

It wasn't long before torches were shaking on the south bank.

As the commander of the navy, Zhang Yun certainly knows what the flag language means.

Seeing the banner, he said to Fa Zheng: "Our army has occupied the south bank, but we haven't found Zhuge Liang. I don't know if it was blown to pieces, or if it fled. ”

"Hard work General Zhang." Fa Zheng nodded: "Give me a small boat, and I will also go ashore." ”

"I will order the warship to dock and send the Fagong up." Zhang Yun replied.

"Don't bother the general, there are still remnants of hidden piles on the south bank that have not been cleaned up, and it is not as easy for warships to dock as Xiaofu." Fa Zheng said: "The general can lead the naval army back, and the rest of the matter will be left to us." ”

"I'll give my life to the lord first." Zhang Yun said: "The lord ordered me to leave, and I will lead the army back." Until then, the navy will be stationed here. If the legal officer has any needs, he can send someone to inform him. ”

"Thank you, General Zhang!" Fa Zheng arched his hand.

Zhang Yun instructed the guards: "Order a small boat to come over and pick up Fa Gong and Yang Gong to the south bank." ”

The guard conveyed Zhang Yun's order, and after a while, a small boat approached the side of the boat.

Fa Zheng and Yang Xiu went up the rope ladder to the small boat.

They stood on the boat and arched their hands towards Zhang Yun on the side of the boat.

Zhang Yun also lowered his head and said goodbye to the two of them: "I wish the army all the way to win Yizhou as soon as possible." ”

After saying goodbye to Zhang Yun, Fa Zheng and Yang Xiu took the small boat to the south bank.

Getting closer and closer to the shore, Yang Xiu asked Fa Zheng: "Fa Gong, how many days will it take for the army to successfully cross the river and take Yizhou?" ”

"I can't say how many days." Fa Zheng said: "It depends on when we can capture Zhuge Kongming." If he dies here, Yizhou will already be taken. If he hadn't died, it wasn't known how long he would have to fight. ”
