On a dark and windy night, the night wind howled, and the turbulent river thundered by, setting off huge waves. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

There were several sailboats sailing on the dim river, and there were many men in cloth clothes on board, trying to keep their eyes open, staring at the stormy river in the night.

These people are all sailors and soldiers under Yuan Shao. said it was a sailor, but in fact, it was a group of fishermen who were begging for food nearby.

They were given a few barely passable sailboats to patrol the river and use as sentry posts. Once the army of Goyang crossed the river, the fishermen would hang up the lights on their boats to inform the enemy.

The sailors of the North certainly cannot be compared to those of the South, in either way. These fishermen, who have not undergone much training, are not able to do anything else, and they are barely competent to do the job of warning.

"Uncle, will anyone cross the river at night? If the wind and waves are so strong that you can't see your fingers, you can't drown them all? A sturdy young man no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, shirtless, leaned sideways to ask a white-haired old man beside him.

At night, the river is windy and rough, and visibility is poor and the water temperature is low. At this time, crossing the river is completely a gamble of luck. Once the boat capsizes, most of the people in the north are not good at water, and it is definitely more than lucky. Therefore, even fishermen who live on the water all year round will never go out at night.

"Who knows." The white-haired old man with unusually thick hands and feet, dark and chapped complexion, pulled the cable hard, sighed lightly, and shook his head in response.

"I heard from the pavilion chief that those thieves are all waste soft-footed shrimp who can't even lift a knife, and they can't swim in water. If they really dare to cross the river without dying, then I will kill a few of them in the water to receive the reward. "The young man, who is still in the age of fantasy, has already begun to return to the village after receiving the bounty himself, buy a large piece of good land, build a new big house, and then go to the house of the most beautiful girl in the village to propose a good life.

The white-haired old man on the side looked at the young man who had fallen into a fantasy with an eager expression. There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, he shook his head slightly, and whispered to himself, "I'm still young." ”

The white-haired old man who is older is naturally much more knowledgeable than the young man. There's also more to experience. When he was young, he was also full of longing for the future like the teenager next to him. It's a pity that the cruel reality destroyed all his extravagant hopes.

The two years he spent serving outside the home allowed him to see too many things that he couldn't see in the village. As for the experience of being recruited to Xiliang to fight the Qiang people later, it made him understand the sinister nature of the world. After returning to his hometown, this white-haired old man with scars on his body would not believe what those pavilion chiefs and county lieutenants said at all!

When the two armies are fighting each other, desperately trying to belittle the opponent is a common means of maintaining morale. These improvised soldiers from the countryside don't understand anything at all. Very easy to coax.

The old man didn't believe what the pavilion chief said, and the thief army on the other side was a waste of soft-footed shrimp. If the other side is really so bad, why do they need to patrol the river all day and all night? It's good to just kill it. This is obviously afraid of others.

Thinking that he had seen those tiger and wolf divisions under General Yuan in the barracks. The white-haired old man let the night breeze blow, and he couldn't help but shiver. General Yuan didn't dare to take the initiative to attack with such a strong soldier and horse, so he could only sit and wait for the enemy to attack. How terrible is the enemy on the other side?

As for the young man next to him thinking about killing the enemy to earn a reward, the old man could only laugh it off. When it came time to actually go to war. Young people will know what a cruel scene it was!

"Huh?" Just when the old man fell into a memory, the bright-eyed young man on the side suddenly frowned and said, "What sound?" ”

The old man who came back to his senses frowned suddenly, and hurriedly ran to the side of the boat, looking nervously into the dark night. In the depths of the waves, I don't know when the inexplicable sound of splashing began to be heard.

Soon, under the dumbfounded gaze of the sergeants of Yuan Shaoshui's division, countless huge black shadows flashed out of the night. If you look closely, you can see that these black shadows are similar to ferries in sheepskin rafts. However, they have no sails and rely entirely on oars.

"Enemy Attack ~~~"

A panicked roar echoed across the river.

Seven or eight Yuan Shaojun's boats on the river more than ten miles upstream and downstream were hung up with warning lights to convey news to the people on the shore. At the same time, the brave sailors steered the ships, which were already rare ships on the great river, towards the Gaoyang military ships that looked obviously low. As the distance approaches. They had already seen that the Gaoyang army crossing the river did not have any big boats.

Just as Yuan Shao's sailor was slowly approaching, the boat headed by the Gaoyang Army who crossed the river suddenly soared into the air, and three red balls of light with long tails were dragging into the air. It shines brightly in the night sky.

The soldiers of Yuan Shaojun's sailors were still looking at the red ball of light in the sky in a daze, and the hundreds of sailless boats on the river had already lit up in a very short time.

When Gaoyang's army arrived in Baima, Yuan Shao had already gotten all the ships that could be collected on both sides of the river to the other side. It's just that this method has no practical significance for Gao Yang.

Gao Yang transported a batch of large military rubber boats from modern time and space. It's not a civilian-grade thing that plays drifting, but a real regular military item that can be bulletproof and will not turn over at an angle of 60 degrees.

Each of these rubber boats, with their engines removed, was capable of carrying dozens of heavily armed sergeants. Of course, the sergeants' heavy armor had all been replaced with life jackets. No one would cross the river and put themselves in trouble in a heavy armor.

The thousands of sergeants on these more than 100 rubber boats were led by Xu Huang. When the team crossing the river was discovered, the smuggling turned into a storm. Xu Huang no longer had the need to continue to keep it secret. Signal flares flew into the night sky, ordering everyone to be ready for battle.

Even if it's on the water, even if it's not armored. These sergeants with powerful chain crossbows in their hands are not something that those Yuan Shaojun sailors with two knives can bully.

Hundreds of bright torches lit up. Crossbow arrows wrapped in special grease on the arrows were set on fire. Dozens of chain crossbows were raised on each rubber boat, and the sharp arrows all pointed at the approaching Yuan Shaojun ships.

Looking at the dense crossbow arrows burning like a forest on the water, the soldiers on Yuan Shaojun's ship were all dumbfounded. Where have they ever seen such a magnificent scene? I didn't even think about it!

The white-haired old man before stared, and his body trembled involuntarily. Suddenly, he turned and ran towards the side of the boat on the other side. His unusually athletic skills were completely out of step with his age.

Everyone else was amazed at the old man's strange reaction. Especially the young man who was chatting with him before subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to stop him.

When the young man opened his mouth to say something. The old man had already jumped into the water in an extremely graceful position, and between the churning waves, it soon disappeared into the river.

It happened so quickly that no one on board could figure out what was going on. And when they came back to their senses, they suddenly realized that it was dawn.

With a low, desolate trumpet heard across the river. Thousands of crossbowmen fired countless ignited arrows into the air.

The darkness of the night was lit up by this terrifying rain of arrows. At this time, those Yuan Shaojun's rangers on the shore didn't even need to look at the warning lights on the sailboat to know that Gao Yangjun was coming.

"How so?!"

This was the last thought of the young man who had thought about killing a few thieves in exchange for a reward and living a good life.

When thousands of sharp rockets rained down on several small wooden sailing boats, the spectacle shook everyone's hearts. No one has been able to escape from this kind of power.

Even if it is brushed with tung oil, even if it is coated with some original fireproof materials. These ships were still quickly ignited under the baptism of dense rocket rain.

The hedgehog-like wooden sailboat barely struggled, and soon a fire began to ignite from the sails. Almost all the people on deck were shot dead, and only a few people in the cabin rushed out and jumped into the water to escape after noticing that something was wrong. These ships no longer had any combat effectiveness.

After more than 100 rubber boats rushed through this section of water, these few drifted along the current, and the burning wooden sailing boats were finally completely burned. They soon sank to the bottom of the river, turning into rotting logs.

"Poor baby." The white-haired old man floated up from the distant river. The old man who stepped on the water with his feet firmly and only his head on the surface of the river looked at the wooden boat that was like a torch and illuminated the river. With a faint sigh, he turned around and left. Anyway, he survived.

......

The grassland peoples have always been famous for being good at riding and shooting. However, the warriors of China in this era were no worse than the herdsmen who grew up on horseback in archery.

Even those famous condor archers on the grassland are still nothing in the face of Huang Zhong, Lu Bu, Xu Huang and other fierce generals with superb archery skills.

Huang Zhong's archery skills are unparalleled in the world, but Xu Huang is also not bad. This time he was ordered to cross the river as a striker, and Xu Huang had already thought about doing a big job.

Naturally, the landing operations of this era could not be the same as during World War II, when they were knocked down by a dense rain of bullets just after landing on the shore. In fact, because of the backwardness of productive forces, the river beach cannot be deployed on a large scale in this era.

Gao Yang chose Xu Huang as the vanguard, in addition to Xu Huang's own martial arts and commanding ability. Gao Yang values his calm and calm personality more. At least Xu Huang will not make the reckless move of killing with soldiers and horses after he goes ashore.

When strength is superior, it is the best choice to use troops safely. (To be continued.) )
