Chapter 5 Looking down on the 800-mile Dongting and looking back at the 3,000-mile mountains and rivers (5)

(Today's second update.) Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoοΌ‰

When the Jiangling Sailor approached the mouth of the Jingjiang River, it was just before the fifth watch. It is not easy to sail at night, and the Jiangneung sailors used many brightly lit boats to explore the way in front, on the one hand, to open the way for the sailors, and on the other hand, to mark the width of the river and obstacles for the sailors. The sailors were well-directed, and they also used firelight to give orders at night, and the changes in the lights of the boats were enough for the well-trained Gangneung sailors to deal with all situations.

More than 20 ships are exploring the way, dozens of fighting ships are in front, and in the middle of several warships, there is a huge building ship as high as six zhang, this building ship is on the hull of more than 20 zhang long, and there are three buildings alone, and the army is full of soldiers.

On the deck, Ma Huaiyuan, who was neatly draped, stood in the wind, and the river wind hit him in the face like a knife, making his facial features as sharp and angular as a knife.

"Sailing at night, there are pros and cons, most of the time it even does more harm than good, because it is inconvenient to see at night, and the sailor must raise the lights, which also loses the meaning of hiding himself." Ma Huaiyuan looked forward with a knife, his face did not change, "But when sailing at night, what you need to use is the dark night when you can't see, only in this way, the sailor comes through the night, so that you can collect the effect of the divine soldier descending from the sky, and give the enemy a sudden blow when the enemy is panicked and inconvenient to dispatch." ”

Ma Xiaodao smiled and said: "What the general said is ordinary at the time, but it doesn't work now." That Yang Wu Shuishi, I had expected that I would come later, so why was he surprised and said that it was inconvenient to dispatch? ”

Ma Huaiyuan didn't look at him anymore and stopped talking.

Zhou Xiaoquan hugged the horizontal knife and said coldly: "You have to do a full set of plays, and big things can be ruined in the details." Moreover, the sailor's urgent arrangements need to be covered by the night, so how can he not enter the night? ”

Ma Xiaodao's face was unconvinced, and he squinted at Zhou Xiaoquan, so you know what it means, right?

On the vast river, the sparks gradually appeared, and there was a sea of stars, connected into the Milky Way, in the distance.

That's Yang Wu Shuishi.

Behind Yang Wu Shuishi, Yuezhou City.

At this time, on the city of Yuezhou, Xu Zhihe's green shirt and leather belt also stood against the wind, looking at the river.

In the depths of endless darkness, suddenly there were fireflies lit up, one point two points three points, dots into faces, the fireflies gradually brightened and became denser, the lights attacked, and there were thousands of troops.

There are also fireflies in high places, and if there are giant beasts haunting there, their eyes are fierce.

There was a smile on the corner of Xu Zhihe's mouth.

"The man who is a ship, a city of soldiers, a fortress, a chariot and a horse. The ship is powerful, the battle is brave, the code is solid, the pursuit is fast, and the rush is strong. Song Qiqiu was beside Xu Zhihe, "The sailor is the most competitive with the texture of the ship, the Jiangling sailor thinks that he has been training for three years, and then he can fight with my Dawu, but I don't know that my Dawu sailor has accumulated for decades, and Hugh said that the soldiers are brave, that is, the building ship and warship are not comparable to them." This time the Jiangling sailor attacked, it was the fish jumping into the pot and the sheep jumping into the fire pit. ”

Lin Renzhao saw that Song Qiqiu said something interesting, and said with a smile: "The soldiers are already gearing up, just waiting to feast." ”

Speaking of this, everyone looked at Xu Zhihe.

Xu Zhihe maintained the posture of the eight winds, "The order, the Jiangkou Sailor is only allowed to defeat but not win, and then retreat into Dongting Lake." When the enemy thieves are introduced into the mouth of the lake, the sailors in the lake surround them on all sides and annihilate them in one fell swoop! ”

The herald answered loudly and hurried away.

Xu Zhihe raised his head and saw the sky full of stars, "Eight hundred miles of Dongting, how many stars and how many corpses can it hold?" How many people's blood is needed to dye the autumn water of this lake red? ”

"That's bound to be a lot!"

Ma Huaiyuan looked at the dense lights in the distance, and the structure of the building ship was already faintly visible.

There are lights on the ship, and there are lights under the ship.

Here the formation of the sailors was almost completed, and Ma Xiaodao approached and asked, "General?" ”

Ma Huaiyuan remained silent, "Rush forward for a while first to probe the other party's reality and reality." ”

The knife was ordered to go.

Hundreds of thousands of torches can't illuminate the night, and the night can't swallow up these torches, the lights are still bright, and the night is still low.

Suddenly, the night's heartbeat suddenly increased, as if its heart had jumped out of its body.

It was the sound of war drums.

On the command ship of the Gangneung Naval Division, torches fly.

Suddenly, the one hundred and ten warships in front of the formation sailed out suddenly, and after a short time, they turned into arrows off the string and went straight to the Yang Wu Naval Division's large array.

Nearly 100 fighting ships are in front, and 20 building ships are in the center, like a fortress and city moving quickly on the water.

The main body of the Jiangling Naval Division, slowly moving behind it, saw its lights like a waterfall, and the buildings and boats were stacked on top of each other, and it was impossible to see how many boats there were.

The Yang Wu Naval Division, which was docked at the mouth of the Jingjiang River, had only a few hundred warships in total, and when they saw the Jiangling Naval Division attacking in a big way, the lights covered the river, and the buildings and ships were like forests, they were not to be outdone, and quickly rowed their warships and met them in an all-round way.

The battleships had not yet been connected, and the bows and crossbows were already the first to fire. Rows of sergeants appeared on the side of the ship (women's wall), opened their bowstrings and released sharp arrows, and then quickly retreated, and in the sound of strings near or far, the arrows flew over the river in front of the battleship and fell into the group of opposing ships.

The women's wall on the side of the fighting ship can avoid half of the body, and the sergeants cats behind the women's wall, and the arrows jingle on the side of the ship, and tremble on the deck.

There are big crossbows, even bed crossbows, catapults, and once the enemy ship enters the strike range, the huge crossbow arrows burst out, and the fragile wooden female wall is pierced through, and the sergeant hiding behind the female wall is immediately nailed together with the female wall. If a catapult blows a stone to the flagpole or the side of the ship, it will not cause sawdust to fly, and if it hits someone, someone will die.

On both sides of the sailors, the fiercest battle is the Mengchong fighting ship, and the huge building ship is the behemoth in the battlefield, as for the boat, like an ant under the feet of an elephant, it is just for extraordinary purposes.

As soon as the two ships approached, the sergeants on both sides would use iron hooks to frame each other's sides, pull the ships in, and then build the planks out, or climb directly over the side of the ship and kill the opponent's ship.

Everywhere on the ship, on the deck, in the aisles, in the cabins, wherever the lights lit, there were sergeants fighting each other.

The sound of killing shook the river, and the waves rolled.

Looking at the group of ships fighting fiercely in front of him, Ma Xiaodao's color changed slightly, "Why does Yang Wu Naval Division have such a small number of troops?" ”

From time to time, more than a dozen boats successively docked the building boat, and the elite sergeants on it climbed up the building boat to report to Ma Huaiyuan, "There is no more Yang Wu sailor at the mouth of the Jingjiang River!" ”

"How so?" Ma Xiaodao's expression was shocked, "It stands to reason that Yang Wushui should have more than Jiangling Sailors, how can there be hundreds of boats?" We prepared many ships to burn the Yang Wu Sailor in one fell swoop, and now the Yang Wu Sailor is only a few hundred ships, is this to burn or not? ”

Zhou Xiaoquan said in a deep voice: "If you set fire to the ship at this time and burn hundreds of enemy and thief ships, it can be regarded as a big victory." But it is far from the expected effect. If the main force of Yang Wu's naval division is still there, the layout of this battle will all be in vain. Looking at Ma Huaiyuan, "According to the last general's opinion, it is better to take another look." ”

Ma Xiaodao was shocked, "The soldiers who came this time are only more than 2,000 people in total, if they continue to fight like this, they will be exposed sooner or later." ”

Ma Huaiyuan was unmoved, and pondered for a moment, "If our army comes with heavy troops tonight, and the surprise attack is really successful at this time, and the enemy ships are only hundreds, what should we do?" ”

Zhou Xiaoquan answered: "Naturally, it is a blow to destroy all the enemy ships, so that the army can land safely and capture Yuezhou City in one fell swoop!" ”

Ma Huaiyuan nodded, "That being the case, what are you waiting for, send orders to the front, increase the offensive, and kill the enemy with all your might!" ”

Ma Xiaodao was surprised: "But if it is an enemy and a thief, our army is definitely not an opponent!" If you are defeated by the enemy thieves, the whole army will be defeated, and you will lose everything! ”

Ma Huaiyuan looked at the battlefield and didn't speak, Zhou Xiaoquan's eyes were like arrows, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Since Yang Wu Shui Shi knew that our army was coming, and only arranged these troops to meet the battle, the main force was completely gone, and the fight must be the idea of fleeing by defeat, luring me to go deeper, and then gathering and annihilating it." The army storms, and the enemy thieves will retreat! ”

Ma Xiaodao opened his mouth, but finally couldn't say anything.

At the mouth of the Jingjiang River, Yang Wu Sailor, the general on the boat saw that the Jiangling Sailor increased the offensive, which made the losses of the Yang Wu Sailor increase sharply for a while, not only did he not have a worried look on his face, but he was overjoyed, and immediately shouted: "Order the whole army to retreat to Dongting Lake!" ”

Hundreds of Yang and Wu ships, under the lights, turned from the mouth of the Jingjiang River and retreated to the mouth of Dongting Lake in embarrassment. Behind his boat, the Gangneung sailors marched in a noisy manner, pursued and killed endlessly, and from time to time they also entered the mouth of the lake.

Until this time, it was still dark.

If it was daytime, Yuezhou City might be able to find that in addition to the ships in the front, middle and rear formations, there were not many fighting ships and building ships, and most of them were just going to the boats, totaling thousands. But at this time, it is impossible to detect the abnormality, after all, the light can be camouflaged.

When the Jiangling sailors chased into the mouth of Dongting Lake, the boats raised the slurry one after another, and the loaches flew out quickly, reaching the side of the front building boat and fighting ship.

On both sides of the mouth of Dongting Lake, 3,000 ships of Yang Wu Sailor stood silently, without any lights.

It wasn't until the hundreds of Yang Wu sailors who had retreated from the Jingjiang estuary entered Dongting Lake that they saw the lights of the Jiangling Sailors and were in hot pursuit, and they could no longer retreat, and on the vast water on both sides of the Dongting Lake Estuary, the sound of war drums like the sky suddenly sounded.

The sound of war drums shattered the silent surface of Dongting Lake and broke the night.

Countless torches are lit up gradually, and there is no end in sight, making people feel as if they are falling into hell.

Approaching, 3,000 battleships of the Yang Wu Naval Division, riding the wind and waves, cut through the river, and attacked in a big way. Each of those sturdy warships was a war beast, enough to devour the lives of a hundred and ten, and if they opened their bloody mouths and waved their huge claws, those who came before it would be torn to pieces.

The sky is slightly awake.

Ma Huaiyuan looked at the Yang Wu warships that surrounded him, his body was like a strong pine, tall and powerful.

He suddenly drew his horizontal knife and pointed forward.

On the other side, there is the vast Dongting Lake, and there are countless Yang Wulou boats.

The roaring sound of war drums sounded in the Gangneung Naval Division, dense as raindrops.

Hundreds of fighting ships, thousands of boats, all loaded with grass, wrapped in anointing oil, like sharp arrows, rushed towards the Yang Wulou ship that could not be seen.

Until they got close to Yang Wulou's boat, the first batch of fighting ships and sergeants on the boat set fire to the ship one after another, and then boarded the boat to meet it, turned around and ran.

The fire spread all over the lake, even dispersing the sky.

Seeing the countless fireships rushing over, the soldiers on Yang Wulou's boat were all heartbroken, and their faces were pale. But at this time, it was not so easy to turn the bow of the ship, and in a rush and screaming, the boat rushed into the group of ships, crashed into the hull, and ignited one ship after another.

Yang Wu sailors were in front, and suddenly there was chaos, the fire on the building boat soared into the sky, swept all the grass and trees, and countless sailors and soldiers rushed in panic in the firelight and smoke, and then they were burned in their robes, rolling all over the ground, and more sergeants jumped into the water like dumplings.

The follow-up thousands of fighting ships and boats of the Jiangling Naval Division, under the control of the sergeant's life, ignored the chaotic Yang Wu Naval Division's front formation, rushed into the Yang Wu Naval Division's building ship group, buried their heads in the straight ahead, and did not engage with them, just went deep, and after entering the middle and rear formation of the Yang Wu Naval Division, they ignited the building boat, and then boarded the ship and left.

On the ship of the Yang Wu Naval Division, tens of thousands of Yang and Wu soldiers were carried, who were originally the elite transferred from Langzhou, and they surrounded and annihilated them when they fought with the Jiangling Naval Division, and now, they have all become dead souls in the fire.

It's dawn.

The 800-mile Dongting Lake is a sea of fire today.

In Yuezhou City, in the face of such a scene, everyone was shocked.

Xu Zhihe's body shook, and finally stood firmly, raised his hand and pointed directly to the west, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Side pickaxe!" Li Congrong!! ”
