"Enemy ship?"

"More than three hundred and sixty in total! Among them, there are 30 building ships, 120 Mengchong fighting ships, and more than 200 boats! ”

"How many soldiers?"

"No less than 10,000 people!"

"Who's handsome?"

"Yang Wu Wuchang Festival makes firewood reused!"

In the Yangtze River Water Village in Shishou County, Ma Huaiyuan stood with a knife in armor and stared at the river. The river breeze blows on the face, stirring the cloak and dancing wildly, making people chill all over.

On the river, Yang Wu sailors are mighty, several high-rise ships Yang Fan breaks the waves, and goes hand in hand, and the ships behind them are like forests, which cannot be fully seen, and the flags on them are sassy, and the armor soldiers are tired.

The building ship is more than ten zhang high, the main body has several floors, each floor has a three-foot female wall outside, there are hardwood as a battle grid around it, as a defense, the two sides of the ship each stretch out a number of oars, the whole is like a fortress.

Ma Huaiyuan pointed to the building ship, before the war, he could still calmly explain to the generals: "Yang Wu sailor ship, the largest one is called the building ship, the ship is built three times, the female wall, the battle grid, the tree flag, the crossbow window, the spear hole, the throwing car, the thunder stone, the iron juice, like a fortress, both offensive and defensive, is a sharp weapon for the battle of the river and the sea!" ”

"It's not just a wall, it's a city that moves!" Ma Xiaodao looked at this kind of big guy with complete fortifications and can accommodate hundreds of armor soldiers, and the shock in his heart was incomprehensible. He was born in Lulong, and there is no water master in Fuzhou, when has he ever seen such a water giant.

Ma Huaiyuan said coldly: "Although the building ship is large, although the situation is high, it is not conducive to advance and retreat, if there is a storm, manpower can not be controlled, so the use of the building ship can not be mixed with small boats." If Ma Xiaodao saw the kind of "one hundred and twenty steps square, accommodating more than 2,000 people, and can gallop back and forth", or the five-tooth ship that "has five floors, is more than 100 feet high, and can accommodate 800 soldiers", I don't know what kind of reaction it will be.

As he spoke, Ma Huaiyuan pointed to Yang Wu Sailor again, and motioned to the small battleship next to the ship, "In all water battles, this kind of fighting ship is the most used and the most widely used, its ship is light and flexible, very fast, with wind and sails, and no wind to paddle. The hull of the ship is two-layered, and a female wall is built on the side to avoid half of the body, so as to protect the armor, and a number of crossbow windows and tooth holes are set up on all sides of the ship to deal with the enemy of all sides. ”

Different from the building ship, the fighting ship is smaller, there is no catapult, throwing car, bed crossbow, thunder stone on the ship, and can not run the horse, the so-called "crossbow window" is a hole in the female wall, which is convenient for the armor to kill the enemy with crossbow arrows and arrows.

In the end, Ma Huaiyuan pointed to the small boats around the building ships and fighting ships, which were densely packed like ants, and said: "This is called the Walking Boat, as you can see, there is no building on the ship, but there is a short female wall on the side of the ship, barely covering the body. Walking back and forth is like flying, taking advantage of people's reach, and it is very useful. In the battle of Chibi in the past year, Huang Gai deceived Cao Cao, which was dominated by Mengchong fighting ships, and each fighting ship was followed by several boats, so that Cao's army could be burned. ”

In the water war at this time, the long-range strike capability of each ship was insufficient, and when the strength of the two sides was not far apart, the strange plan was abandoned, and the victory or defeat was mostly determined by the capture of the ship by the armor. The ship is the city, and in a sense, the water war is still the offensive and defensive battle of the city.

Therefore, the way of water warfare is good in the boat, practice the soldiers to multiply it, more banners to confuse it, strict bows and crossbows to defend it, set up a fence to defend it, and hit it along the flow.

The war is imminent, it is very important to boost morale, not to make the soldiers afraid of the enemy, Ma Huaiyuan finally shouted: "The tools of water warfare begin with the soldiers, take the boat as the car, take the pole as the horse, all changes will not deviate from their roots, there is nothing to be afraid of!" Besides, this time guarding the stone head, there is no need for you and me to take a boat to fight with it, but to defend the river road, and besides, all parties have prepared properly, spare him a hundred ships and thousands of ships, and you and I will destroy them together! ”

The generals agreed with a bang, and each went to prepare.

At this time, Yang Wu's sailor was approaching, and hundreds of ships, riding the wind and waves, like moving mountains, crushed in front of them, which was indeed terrifying.

The water village is not in the center of the river, on the riverside, there is a pontoon bridge on the river, which runs through the north and south, and before the pontoon bridge, there are dozens of small boats, blocking the sight of the pontoon bridge downstream. The boats were all laden with straw and grease, and each of them had several sergeants, and they were hidden in the middle.

Ma Huaiyuan looked at the riverside, the grass and trees on both sides of the river moved with the wind, although he did not know much about the water war, but he also knew that the next wind direction was very important, and it would be self-defeating if he didn't do it well.

Standing beside Ma Huaiyuan, Ma Xiaodao couldn't help but be a little nervous. He is not afraid of war, when Lu Long was in battle, the Jizhou army was ordered to lure the enemy, 5,000 soldiers were pursued by three times the Khitan elite cavalry, and fought and retreated, more than half of the casualties along the way, when he retreated to Jizhou City, he and Ma Huaiyuan almost died in the chaos, and even the city gate did not have the strength to enter, with this experience, he was not so afraid of death.

His nervousness was due to his unfamiliarity with water warfare and his lack of certainty about the battle itself.

Ma Huaiyuan naturally understood his brother, he patted the other party's shoulder, and said with relief: "Although the Fuzhou army is not familiar with water warfare, the king of Qin has told you and me that as long as there is no mistake, there will be no big problems." ”

Ma Xiaodao was reluctant to admit his cowardice - although it was not cowardice, he stiffened his neck and said: "Don't comfort me, although I am not as good as you in killing, when have I been worse than you?" ”

Ma Huaiyuan laughed. As he spoke, Yang Wu Shuishi was closer to Shuizhai, Ma Huaiyuan calculated the distance, his face became solemn, and he gave orders to the standard-bearers and conveyed the combat instructions.

Dozens of small boats in front of the pontoon bridge in Shuizhai moved when they heard the wind, and the armor soldiers on the boat cut the ropes together, rowed their oars down the river, and rushed towards the invincible Yang Wu sailors downstream.

In front of the huge team of Yang Wu Sailor, there were dozens of small boats mixed with many fishing boats, as small as an ant colony in front of an elephant, as ridiculous as a mayfly trying to shake a big tree.

Halfway through, dozens of small boats had already picked up speed, and when there was a drum beat from the water village, all the sergeants on the boat lit the torches in their hands, and used the torches to light the grass on the boat. The oil-anointed grass burned at the sight of the fire.

The sergeants on board jumped into the river and swam to the south bank.

Behind them, dozens of small boats grew into flames, like blooming fire lotuses, reflecting the surface of the river.

In the face of the sudden fireship, Yang Wu Sailor immediately heard a noise, such a change was something they had never expected before.

The fireship quickly collided with Yang Wu's sailors, and the first ship was caught in flames and was immediately engulfed in flames. The Wu Navy on the boat was panicked, they ran and shouted, at first they wanted to extinguish the fire, but seeing that the fire was out of control, but from time to time there were comrades buried in the fire, and they couldn't care too much anymore, they took off their armor one after another, jumped up from the boat, and fell into the river like dumplings.

On a huge building ship in the Yang Wu Naval Division, an old general stood on the deck, and the raging fire and wolf smoke on the river made his face cold. One by one, the soldiers who were either struggling with the fire or jumping into the water in panic made his facial muscles twitch.

He is Chai Zause, a famous general of Wu State.

"Why did Shishou's Jingnan army attack our army? They're crazy! Chai Zaiyong beside him, his personal guard commander was both shocked and angry.

"I'm afraid that Shishou is no longer owned by Jingnan!"
