on the Yangtze River.

I saw that in the mist of pus and pus, there were countless boats going up the river, and the one that rushed to the front was a huge ship the size of a mountain, divided into three layers, and from a distance it seemed that there were three such boats, which opened the way in front of them, and were quite imposing; It may be an exaggeration to say that it has the size of a mountain, but it is not much different, and it should be said that it is a small mountain.

With a capacity of 10,000 soldiers each, this is the largest ship in the Imperial Navy!

Behind the three huge ships were large ships that were divided into three rows, each with a capacity of five thousand soldiers, for a total of nine.

There are also some medium-sized boats in the back, which can carry 2,000 soldiers, small boats can carry 500 soldiers, and so on, stretching on the Yangtze River like a wave, boundless; However, the large and large ships in front were full of soldiers, while the small and medium-sized ships in the back were empty, and there were no soldiers, oh yes, half of the medium-sized ships were responsible for transporting food and equipment.

As the warship moved forward rapidly, the waves rolled up more than a foot high, and the momentum was huge, this is the power of too many ships, if there are only a dozen of them, they can't cause such a phenomenon, if there are experienced people watching upstream, they will definitely be able to see it.

On the giant ship at the front, Ling Feng, Zhang Wu, Lu Wen, and Lu Chang were all here, in the cabin, Ling Feng looked at the map in his hand, looked out the window from time to time, and asked a little: "Lu Wen, take a look, is it going to the Sleepy Dragon Beach." ”

Sleepy Dragon Beach is the shallowest place of the Yangtze River, and at the same time, there are many rocks, and it is said that there were landslides here in those years, so such a phenomenon was formed.

But although it is a shallow, it is not allowed to wade through the water, because for the Yangtze River, no matter how shallow it is, there is a height of a zhang, how can the human body pass.

So, small boats can still pass.

Lu Wen carefully observed the surrounding mountains and rivers, and said uncertainly: "It should be soon." ”

Lu Chang and Zhang Wu sat in their seats, closing their eyes and recuperating.

Ling Feng had a worry in his heart at the moment, on this mighty Yangtze River, if there was a shoal, then the water flow at this shoal was not very turbulent, the shallower it was, the more urgent it should be, which was not good for the march.

And loud boats, large ships are definitely not passable, can only try to see if the medium-sized boat can pass, if not, can only switch to all small boats, but in this way, can withstand the turbulent current?

"The general doesn't have to think about it, will you know soon?" Lu Wen seemed to see through Ling Feng's thoughts, so she persuaded.

Ling Feng nodded, but he suddenly remembered something and asked, "What about Duan Yun?" Did the kid bring it? ”

"Yes, the medium-sized ship in the back, with the grain and grass, is guarded by special soldiers."

Lu Wen replied.

Ling Feng said: "You must take good care of him, this time, I will exchange him for General Qin Liang, and there must be no half-point difference." ”

"No."

.......

The minutes passed until the evening.

At this time, there was a round of afterglow sunset on the horizon, under the dark red sunlight, the entire river surface was golden, looking ahead, there was a slightly narrow terrain overpass, Ling Feng carefully studied the map, and finally determined, this is the so-called --- trapped dragon beach!

As soon as he arrived, he ordered all the ships to rest in place, and he himself came to the deck with two groups of soldiers.

"Inform the boatmen, move forward."

"General, this... This giant ship is going to hit the rocks. ”

"You can slow down a little bit and stop when you hit the rocks."

......

As the order was given, the huge ship in the middle sailed forward, and everyone could feel that the current here was much more rapid than yesterday's march, and the waves hit the bow of the ship with a roar, splashing more than a foot high.

Seeing such a situation, everyone was a little worried, if this was a small boat, wouldn't it be directly submerged?

In fact, this time it is not only a little urgent, but also the water potential is slightly high, from a distance, it seems that there is a hurdle, but it is not very clear, anyway, it is very vague, giving people the feeling that there is a gentle slope on the flat bottom.

When the giant ship had walked forward a hundred and ten paces, and had just reached the edge of the Sleepy Dragon Beach, it heard the sailors below shouting: "Oh, hit the rock, hit the reef..." ”

Ling Feng shook his head and hurriedly ordered the ship to stop, checking for damage by the way.

Fortunately, the speed of the ship is not fast, and the quality of the giant ship itself is very good, so there is no big problem.

Next, he asked the large ship to test the water to see if it could pass through the Sleepy Dragon Beach, but unfortunately, he only advanced more than 300 steps, that is, just entered the Sleepy Dragon Beach, and was blocked by the channel and impassable.

In desperation, he switched to medium-sized ships, which, although not as magnificent as large ships and giant ships, were comprehensive vessels, balanced in terms of speed, and in terms of the performance and sturdiness of the hull itself; Over the years, it has been the main warship in the naval division, and whether it is a war or something, it is this kind of ship that is used the most.

Whoa...

The waves continued to retreat, and the medium-sized boat entered the sleepy dragon beach without any obstruction, as it gradually moved away, Lu Wen and Ling Feng both showed smiles on their faces, as long as the medium-sized ship could pass, it would be fine, this kind of ship was enough to carry soldiers and food equipment, but it was just a little troublesome.

"Oh no, it's on the rocks again..." There was another shout in the distance.

The faces of the two of them were the color of pig liver, and the original good mood was also exhausted at this time, Ling Feng said: "This is troublesome, if you switch to a small boat, it is not only dangerous, but also not enough, and there are so many grain and grass equipment, how can you transport it in a small boat." ”

At this time, he remembered Qin Huai's words at the beginning, the Yangtze River waterway is not easy to walk, and sure enough, he now has a deep understanding!

Coming to the cabin, Lu Wen said: "General, I think we should send sailors with good water ability to the river to have a look, maybe we can open the road." ”

"The water is so fast, who would dare to go down? Moreover, the impact of such a rapid water for many years has not been able to get through, how can it be done with manpower? Ling Feng came to his seat and sat down, frowning.

Zhang Wu and Lu Chang also stood up, and Lu Chang arched his hand and said, "General, there are a group of soldiers in our army who are good at water, why don't you let them go down and give it a try?" Maybe you just need to push a few boulders to get through. ”

"Let me go, I'm good at water." Zhang Wu on the side said suddenly.

Lu Chang couldn't help but laugh and said: "With your small body, I can rush you into the Yangtze River at once, and I can't find it." ”

"You..."

Ling Feng: "Okay, stop arguing. ”

"Lu Chang, this matter will be handed over to you, and you will be responsible for investigating the underwater movements."

Lu Changshen was stunned and said, "Obey." ”
