Thanks to Bai Ji for the reward of Binlu Sauce, there is a deacon so early, moved, hehe.

Hundreds of hearts seemed to jump at the same time in an instant, and a pair of excited eyes swept towards the edge of the river.

The thin river fog has not been dispelled by the morning light, in the light silk thin clouds, the white light and shadow appear and disappear from time to time, in the contrast of the sparkling and scaly river, such as illusory, trance has a kind of unreal illusion.

The white light and shadow gradually became clear as the rising of the sunrise. The fog and water light seem to form a huge mirror, spanning the surface of the river, and the white light and shadow are coming from the depths of the mirror, and its image increases with each step of approach.

Suddenly, a gust of east wind suddenly rose, and the clouds and mist that filled the river were swept away in a moment.

A white dragon that covered the entire surface of the river suddenly crashed into everyone's field of vision, and everyone couldn't help but gasp.

After staring closely, it became clear that the vision was not a white dragon, but a huge fleet that occupied the entire river. The white light and shadow they had seen earlier were nothing more than towering sails.

Thousands of sails spread out together, overwhelmingly and mightily, such a huge fleet, such a vast formation, not only has never seen the momentum of the Wu people Liu Bei's department, even those Liu Biao's old troops who have been at war with Eastern Wu for many years, at this moment, seeing such an unprecedented scale of the fleet, they can't help but be deeply shocked.

Thousands of warships, large and small, slowly advanced in an orderly manner on the rolling Yangtze River, and the same pace was like a dragon wearing light armor, and every inch of the movement of the bones was seamlessly coordinated with each other.

"Is this the Soochow Water Army?" Liu Feng, who was deeply shocked, let out a heartfelt sigh.

In this era, there were no advanced communication tools such as radio, and the exchange of information between naval warships and the orders issued by the commander-in-chief were basically through flags. The difficulty of organizing and dispatching more than 1,000 warships by relying only on such simple means of information can be imagined, and it will also be a great challenge to the commander's ability.

Liu Feng had also seen Guan Yu's ability to command the navy, which was really good in his heart, but after looking at the Soochow fleet under the command of Zhou Yu in front of him, Liu Feng realized the gap between the two.

When the river fog cleared and the sun rose in mid-air, Soochow's fleet smoothly entered the waters of Xiakou. According to the prior agreement, although the two sides were allied, the Wu army could not enter Xiakou, and could only camp along the Yangtze River south of Xiakou to deal with the Cao Ying West Route Army under the east of the Shunjiang River, while Er Liu's army was to deal with the Cao Army from the North Road from the Han River.

Without waiting for the Eastern Wu navy to dock, Xu Shu ordered the belongings of the labor army to be loaded onto a few prepared ships, and sailed straight away from the water village to meet with the Wu people on the river, intending to deliver the goods of the labor army before the opponent landed and set up camp, in order to show hospitality as an ally.

After being interrogated by the Wu patrol ships, several ships loaded with cargo were allowed to enter the Wu fleet group, and Xu Shu and Liu Feng heard that Liu Bei was also coming with Zhou Yu, so they took a boat to meet Zhou Yu's flagship.

Going deep into the Wu fleet, along the way, Liu Feng was fortunate to see the demeanor of the Wu people's ships

During this period of rest in Xiakou, Liu Feng also had an interesting understanding of Guan Yu's navy, and gradually learned that the naval warships of this era were roughly divided into several types: shippers, fighting ships, building ships, and boats.

This ship is also known as the collision ship, the hull is long and narrow, the speed is fast, the back of the ship is covered with raw cowhide, the two compartments are chiseled with holes, and the front and rear left and right are equipped with crossbow windows and spear holes, so that the enemy can not approach, and the arrows and stones cannot be destroyed. This kind of ship is generally used in close combat, taking advantage of the enemy's inability to evade, rushing into the enemy ship, and then boarding the ship.

As for the fighting ship, it is a warship with a larger tonnage than the warship, and it is the main warship of the entire fleet, and the ship is equipped with a female wall, three feet high, and a hole is opened under the wall. At the same time, a boatshed was built, which was as high as the women's wall, and the shed was five feet high, and among them was the nuns' wall. It is said that the role of this kind of ship is mainly used to suppress long-range firepower and cover the boarding and operation of the ship.

As for the boat, it is a small and fast warship, which is generally used to transport personnel between the main warships, and can also participate in battles when necessary.

All the warships, the most terrifying is the building ship, this kind of warship with huge tonnage, not only Guan Yu's navy does not have it, but there is not a single one in the entire Jingzhou.

Today, Liu Feng finally saw this legendary water giant, because Zhou Yu's flagship is a building ship known as the first giant ship in Jiangdong.

When he watched from afar, he didn't realize that there was anything special about this ship, and when he got closer, Liu Feng felt the horror of this giant ship. Ordinary ships are built with triple buildings, but Zhou Yu's flagship actually built a five-story building, and the huge shadow extending out of the hull made Liu Feng's ship still dozens of steps away, and the entire ship was swallowed up by the opponent's shadow.

Looking closely, I saw that this building ship was full of female walls, trees and banners on all sides, and countless crossbow windows and spear holes, at first glance, I would think that it was not a ship, but a mobile castle floating on the river.

"This ship...... It's too big, isn't it? Liu Feng looked up at the giant ship like a small mountain, and couldn't help but sigh again.

Xu Shu beside him also sighed: "I can't imagine that the shipbuilding technology of the Wu people has reached such a point, no wonder Liu Jingsheng has been fighting with the Sun family for more than ten years, and he has always been at a disadvantage, and the shipbuilding level cannot catch up with others is also a very important reason." ”

When the two sighed, they went to dock at the boat.

Climbing up to the wide deck, I saw two people walking towards them under the escort of the generals of Eastern Wu, talking and laughing, one of them was Liu Bei.

Beside Liu Bei, a young man in his early thirties stood side by side with him, wearing a gold-plated tiger-striped helmet, and slender red tassels fluttering on his broad shoulders. Although his shoulders were broad, his waist and abdomen were thin, and he was covered with a large bright red cape, and he carried a long sword with a black gold sheath at his waist.

The man was talking and laughing as if no one was around, seemingly casual and relaxed, but his feet were steady and powerful, and every step down was like a towering tree rooted in the ground, and every muscle in his body was ready to fight at any time.

A few steps away, Liu Feng already felt the momentum of an extraordinary person exuded by that person, which was different from Xu Chu's thirst for killing, different from Guan Yu's arrogance, and even different from Liu Bei's deep concealment, but a kind of innate, wide-open, and upright atmosphere.

After a while, Liu Feng finally saw the person's appearance clearly, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked.

In this world, there can be such a beautiful man!
