The huge arrows were constantly shot down on the hillside, the stones slid down the rope behind the giant arrows, the right side of the boat became heavier and heavier, heavier and heavier, and the entire hull slowly fell sideways, plus those soldiers who were unstable and rushed to the side of the ship, the situation on the right side of the boat was becoming more and more obvious, and there was a possibility of turning over into the water.

All the soldiers were stunned by this scene, most of them were northerners, they were not good swimmers, and if they fell into the water, their lives were in danger. In the face of the sudden death, they all panicked, no longer caring about the weapons in their hands, grabbing all the fixed objects around them, trying not to let themselves slip into the water as much as possible.

Amid the panicked cries of the Wei army, Sima Shi's orders were drowned out in obscurity. It wasn't until the drummer managed to stabilize himself, beat the war drums, and gave the order for all the men to assemble on the port side that some of the soldiers understood.

However, it was too late at this time, and under the dual action of the stones and the Wei soldiers, the side angle of the warship was too large, so that the hole in the board of the ship that was pierced by the giant arrow sank below the surface of the water, and the river bubbled in, once again increasing the speed of the side deviation, causing even greater panic. And the sloping deck also made it difficult for the Wei soldiers to move an inch, even if they heard the order issued by Sima Shi, they could not make effective movements, and could only slide helplessly on the sideways of Xiangyou.

With the help of Liang Ji, Sima Shi used both hands and feet, and finally climbed to the left side of the building boat, and he clung to the railing to avoid sliding to the right side of the building boat like most people. But seeing that there were only a few people half-hanging on the left side of the boat like him, it was not enough to balance the boat at all, and he didn't have any luck in his heart to escape from death, but only endless sorrow and despair.

Playing against Wei Ba again, he faced death almost before he had a chance to make a move.

Sima Shi, who was full of confidence, suddenly encountered an unexpected situation, and the opponent was Wei Ba, whom he was most eager to defeat, but he had not yet touched the other party. was beaten by the other party first, and his mood was mixed for a while, and he couldn't tell what it was like. I just feel my nose is sour. He hugged the side of the boat, and his legs took turns to pedal on the deck, maintaining his balance, but he didn't care too much.

Fortunately, Liang Ji did not lose his mind when he joined the army. He shouted loudly: "Young master, young master, quickly order other warships to rescue—"

Sima Shi suddenly woke up. Turning around, he yelled at the drummer who was barely standing still holding the drum rack, "Beat the drum, ask for help." ”

The drummer blushed and fought hard to hook one arm to the drum rack and the other to beat the war drum vigorously. The sound of war drums is a little weird, though. But I can barely hear the meaning.

In fact, there is no need to be reminded by the sound of war drums, the warships before and after have already seen all this. When they saw the Shu Han army on the north bank, they raised their vigilance, but they were in the same mood as Sima Shi at that time, and they didn't take Wei Ba and the others seriously at all. Hold your arms and wait to see the joke. Unexpectedly, the other party actually used such a strange trick, and suddenly overturned Sima Shi's boat.

Some of the people were dumbfounded, and some of the people who reacted faster immediately realized the danger of Sima Shi, and without waiting for Sima Shi to give the order for help, they immediately urged the sailors, rowed the warship, and quickly approached Sima Shi. More than a dozen warships surrounded them, some to cut the ropes with the boulders, and some to the other side to rescue the overboard and their comrades who were about to fall into the water.

The water surface was suddenly very lively, and the originally orderly Wei army sailors were confused for a while, colliding with each other, and even a boat was directly knocked over by their companions, and the soldiers on the boat were like dumplings in a pot, falling into the water one after another, desperately slapping the water surface, shouting for help.

Wei Ba was waiting for this opportunity, and as soon as he saw that the Wei warship was parked in the water, busy rescuing people, he immediately ordered the attack to begin.

At the sound of an order, more than a dozen crossbow carts pushed up, and the crossbowmen adjusted the direction of shooting, pulled the crossbow machine, and one after another sharp arrows flew out of the ballista and shot towards the Wei soldiers on the warship.

The Wei army was busy rescuing the people on the ship, and although there were warships rushing up to protect them, they were still caught off guard by these crossbows, and people were constantly shot and fell into the water, causing a splash.

Wei Ba was in formation on the bank of the river, only fifty paces away from the Wei army, and the nearest was even only thirty paces, and within such a range, any bow and crossbow could be used to effectively kill. On the one hand, the Wei army had to save people, and on the other hand, it had to guard against the attack of the Shu Han army, and it was stumbling and embarrassed.

Originally, among the sailors, the strongest attack power was the building boat, not only because the building ship was large and could directly collide and crush the opponent, but also because there were more fighters on the building ship, which could organize an effective attack. Although there are warriors on ordinary warships, because at least half of them are responsible for paddling, less than half, and maybe even a third, can actually take up arms and attack. Now the two sides are shooting at each other in the air, and those warriors with swords and shields are even more useless, they can only hold shields, passive defense, and no matter how sharp the knives and spears in their hands are, they can't call the enemy's head. The only ones who could really organize a counterattack were the few crossbowmen.

As a result, an unbalanced ratio was formed between the two sides, and the Wei army had a force of nearly 3,000 people, but it was shot by the Shu Han army, which had only more than 1,000 people, and suffered heavy casualties. More than half of the people were trapped in the water, unable to attack, and only passively beaten.

That's what Wei Ba wants.

How to fight an opponent who is more flexible than you? Answer: First grab his hair, and then flatten him.

Wei Ba dragged Sima Shi's handsome boat, that is, he grabbed Sima Shi's hair, so that he could not get out and could not use guerrilla tactics, and then took advantage of the characteristics of a large number of manpower to manpower the boat, turning the advantages of the Wei army into disadvantages and exerting his advantages to the limit. Although his strength was inferior to Sima's division, he had a crossbow cart and a firing density at least twice as high as the Wei army, which had sufficient advantages.

Of course, this was in the case that the Wei army could not land on the shore, and once the Wei army was allowed to go ashore, the superiority of the two sides in strength would be reversed immediately.

Wei Ba knew this very well, and on the one hand, he ordered the crossbow carts and the giant crossbows on the high slopes to shoot non-stop, killing and wounding a large number of Wei soldiers, and on the other hand, he had people cut down trees, and then threw the trees that had just been cut down and had not even removed their branches and leaves to the river, blocking the Wei army's warships from approaching.

Sima Shi was rescued on a medium-sized warship, and he almost blew his lungs as he watched the gorgeous building ship slowly sink down. But instead of yelling, on the contrary, he was so calm that people were scared. Regardless of the danger, he ordered the ships to get as close to the shore as possible, organized the archers to counterattack, and at the same time ordered some of the ships to scatter to both sides, force ashore, and outflank them from both flanks.

The two sides fought together on the banks of the river.

Sinking Sima Shi's building ship with a dozen giant arrows, the crossbowmen on the high slope were very excited, they turned the giant crossbow and fired at the Wei warship in the river. These giant arrows are amazingly lethal, with a sharp whistling sound, flying over a distance of thirty or forty paces, almost a hundred shots, hitting people, the body is pierced, the boat is shot, the arrow with a barb will shoot the ship's plank, and maybe even directly through the bottom of the ship. As soon as the bottom of the boat is penetrated, the river will rush in, and the whole ship will be incapacitated.

These condescending giant crossbows caused great trouble to the Wei army, and almost every roar meant the death of a Wei soldier or even the loss of a warship.

Although Sima Shi was very calm and reacted in a timely manner, his losses were still increasing sharply in the face of the superiority of the Shu Han army in the bow and crossbow, especially in the face of the powerful lethality of several giant crossbows erected on the high slope. He himself became the target of these giant crossbows, and at least two of the several giant crossbows had been targeting him, and one after another huge crossbow arrows roared, killing and wounding those guards who wanted to use shields to shield, and each crossbow arrow could almost take the lives of two or three people.

In addition to the drastic increase in the casualties of his personal guards, he also became a disaster star for the warship, and the continuous attacks caused his warship to be sunk quickly. In just half an hour, he changed four command ships, and as a result, the four commanders lost their combat effectiveness under the attack of the giant crossbow, many soldiers fell into the water, and less than half of them were rescued on other warships.

By the time the ship's losses reached one-third, the Danshui was already full of Wei soldiers shouting for help and ships that had sunk or were sinking, and those that had not yet sunk had become overcrowded because they had rescued too many of their comrades, and could no longer fight. It took a lot of effort to outflank the warships on the two wings on the orders of Sima Shi, and finally more than 300 people went ashore, but in the face of the resistance of the Shu Han army on the shore, they were stuck on the soft river beach and could not advance.

After just half an hour, Sima Shi looked at the sailors who had suffered heavy casualties, and knew that it was useless to fight again, except for letting Wei Ba slaughter for a while, there was no possibility of going ashore to fight back. He ordered a retreat, took less than half of the ships with him, and fled in a hurry.

The battle ended with a complete victory for Wei Ba, after a simple count, Wei Ba sank one of Sima Shi's boats, more than 20 medium-sized warships, the number of killed and wounded Wei soldiers could not be counted for a while, judging from the corpses floating in the river and the number of people who fled to both sides of the river, there were at least seven or eight hundred. The credit for the shipwreck belongs to the giant crossbow, and the most lethal is the crossbow car. On the cramped warship, the Wei army could not organize effective protection, and could only rely on the shield in their hands and the armor on their bodies to resist, at such a close distance, in the face of the crossbow carts improved by Wei Ba, they had no ability to resist, and suffered heavy casualties.

Of course, the basis of all this is that Wei Ba took advantage of the characteristics of the high center of gravity of the building ship and the easy to overturn sideways, artificially increased the weight of the side of the building ship, caught Sima Shi off guard, grabbed his hair, and then could he be happy and slapped in the face. Once Sima Shi came back to his senses and decided to retreat, he could only sigh at the water. It was an impossible task for the soldiers to push the crossbow carts and giant crossbows to chase Sima Shi's warship down the water.

However, ordinary soldiers would not think about so many things, they only knew that following Wei to join the army defeated Sima Shi again, and fought happily, and this was enough. Their morale was greatly boosted, they did not feel tired at all, and they sang happily and returned to Wuguan.
