Zhu Ran's eyes were about to split, but there was nothing he could do, he gritted his teeth and continued to retreat, because at this time, the stones flew down from the top of the head.

Although he was mentally prepared, Lu Xun was also secretly frightened when he saw this scene, thinking about how to solve it.

At this time, Zhang Cheng's building ship also reached the combat distance under the cover of the stern, and he raised the command flag in his hand and signaled Zhang Cheng to attack.

"Put!"

Zhang Cheng also hissed and shouted the same order, his voice was not as loud as Zhou Cang's, and even a little hysterical, sharp as if to stab people's hearts, maybe the tragedy just now made him suffer a lot of stimulation, this time it was finally his turn to attack, Zhang Cheng's face was a little distorted.

"L!"

Zhou Cang's thunderous voice sounded again, as if he could only say one word.

When the catapult on the Dongwu building ship was being distributed, the Shu army building ship quickly stretched out from the top - a huge cloth curtain, and the branches supporting the cloth curtain were accurately placed on the wooden seat of the catapult.

The curtains were all made of cooked cowhide, and by the time the stones fell above the ship, the cowhide curtain had covered the entire ship.

The stone-throwing of the ship basically caused any damage to the end of the Shu army's ships, and Lu Xun also nodded secretly, and issued another order.

The rain of arrows in the sky sprinkled on the big ships of the Shu army, and it was impossible for the cowhide curtain to wrap all the ships, and the bow and arrow were the best weapons, and at this time, the ships of both sides had entered the best range.

—Rows of large shields emerged from under the strings of the ship, but at last I saw a shield ping-pong, and in an instant it looked as if the ship's side had been raised—and the Shu army was all hiding in the rear.

Seeing the rain of arrows and the second bye, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but be furious, waved his arm, and ordered to step up the ship, intending to get close to the enemy ship to board the ship and fight.

Zhang Cheng is still full of confidence in the fine table tennis under his hands, especially on the shaking warship, which is not as stable as the land, which has no effect on Wu Jun, who grew up in the water since childhood.

Lu Xun didn't expect that the ships of the Shu army were so peculiar that the three-round attack was ineffective, so he had to let Zhang Cheng do it.

At the same time, Zhou Tai was ordered to bring the headquarters of the navy and Zhu Yi to follow and prepare rockets, since the Shu army uses cooked cowhides, using fire attack is the best method, which is also the best weapon for water warfare.

—Bian commanded wholeheartedly, his eyes were still staring at the giant ship behind him from time to time, and he saw that only Guan Yu was still riding horses to supervise the battle, but Zhuge Liang was even more suspicious in his heart.

Guan Yu also saw that Lu Xun could still calm himself in the situation of the Shu army's repeated surprises, and moved the rear army in an orderly manner, so he couldn't help but bow his head, and said to Guan Ping next to him, "This Lu Xun really has the talent of a general, if this person is not removed, it will be difficult to take Jiangdong!"

Guan Ping also nodded, frowning, Lu Xun was younger than him, but he had such ability, he couldn't help but think of the kind face he had seen for a long time, and suddenly said, "If the eldest brother comes here, I don't know which of the two is stronger or weaker."

Guan Yu naturally understood that Guan Ping was talking about Liu Changsheng, so he was silent, shook his head and smiled, and said, "Lu Xun is good at command and dispatch, it's really hard to comment."

At this time, Zhang Cheng's fleet approached the Jingzhou Navy at full speed under the cover of the archers, all of them focused on avenging the brothers just now, and just when those people had just sprinted, the slings of the Shu army were fired again.

Zhang Cheng sneered, and also ordered people to pull up the tent curtain, speaking of which the tent curtains of the Wu army were made of crocodile skin, which was tougher than cooked cowhide, and this creature could only be caught in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and it was very ferocious, and the army had to send regular sailors to hunt and kill.

At the same time, the crossbows on the Jingzhou naval warship also began to start, and the dense long arrows with a small curved arc roared, even drowning the sound of the water waves stirred up when the ship sailed in.

Zhang Cheng was shocked in his heart, but he didn't expect that this crossbow was not only extremely numerous, but also very powerful, and even the shield was at the front.—The dense sound of the array sounded, and the crossbow arrows that were slightly shorter than ordinary arrows shot onto the big shield, and some of them even penetrated some of the weaker places, and the missing crossbow arrows were directly inserted into Shi Ping's body, and those armors were not worn, even if they were crocodile skin curtains

The arrow pierces through from above and hangs on the top of the head.

Zhang Cheng snorted—a cold breath—and looked up to see a phenomenon that made him very puzzled—it turned out that what the Shu army sent this time was not a stone, but something wrapped in pigskin, which spread out on the tent, and a strange smell spread.

Some of them fell on the deck, as if they were scooping water or dust, and did not pose much of a threat to the tent curtain.

Zhang Cheng looked down, and suddenly his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly shouted, "Withdraw...... Retreat, retreat—"

What the Shu army threw over was sulfur and oil, how could this not make Zhang Cheng anxious?

When Zhang Cheng looked up again, he saw that the dark and secluded holes in the bow of the other side of the building were shooting out of the thick and thin wooden stakes, making a muffled whining sound and whistling.

The front end of the stake is sharpened, and a shiny iron cone is inserted in the front.

In the stunned eyes of Zhang Chenghe, all the Wu soldiers only heard the muffled sound of the formation, and these wooden stakes slammed into the hull of those people, and the whole building shook violently, and the bow of the ship began to sink.

The danger of those people is not only these, the crossbow of the Shu army was also launched later, this is what makes Zhang Cheng really feel determined, and it is the rocket that the other party launches.

Under Zhang Cheng's stop just now, most of the buildings slowed down, but before they could turn around, they were hit by wooden stakes, and several boats had already begun to fill with water, and at this moment the ignited rockets were ejected all over the sky, like a rain of fire falling from the sky, and all the Wu troops panicked and fled to each other. The smoke was accompanied by the flames that soared into the sky, and the shouts were mixed with the screams, which made Zhang Cheng completely lose his commanding role.

332 The heart is unwilling

Under the escort of the pro-ping ping, Zhang Cheng ordered the people to evacuate in a small boat when the boat was still completely on fire, otherwise the Bolian crossbow and slings would be enough to bury all his men and horses at the bottom of the river.

"Hahaha! I don't know how thick the sky is, this time I'll let you—all go to the river to feed the fish-"

Zhou Li's smug laughter resounded through the two armies, even overshadowing those screams, he was ignored by Lu Xun, just now - holding back his strength, seeing that it was done, he was relieved - breathing, looking at the embarrassed Wu Jun and the raging fire laughed wildly.

Under the baptism of another throwing stone, the remnants of Zhang Cheng finally broke away from the battle line, but the building ship he brought with him was not spared, and all the fire spread.

Only five of the following boats were rushed up by Zhou Tai to extinguish, and the other boats were crackling and burning in the middle of the river, less than one-third of the taxis who escaped back in small boats, most of the diving were burned to death, and those with good water surnames escaped.

Seven or eight ships were on fire, and the Shu and Wu armies were separated by a thick wall of fire, and the smoke rushed straight to both shores, and was blown away by the wind, and permeated the woods on the shore, like a heavy fog.

The faces of the soldiers on both sides were lit red, although their expressions were diametrically opposed, but they both retreated—the land of arrows, in this case, the Wu army did not dare to rashly counterattack again, and the Shu army naturally could not continue to pursue.

Seeing that the river was full of fire and was in disarray, Guan Yu understood that he had intimidated the Wu army today, and after seeing the command ship that was fluctuating by the firelight, he ordered the withdrawal of the ping pong.

This small battle wiped out the Wu army, and the most important thing was to make the morale of the Wu army plummet, and for the Wu army, which considered itself a navy, this blow was not a simple defeat.

"From now on, everyone in the world knows that the Jingzhou Navy is the Sailor." Guan Ping Guan Yu left and said to Liao Hua on the side.

"It's awesome, it's a pity that this battle is fought by Qi Fu, and this wind comes out-" Liao Hua smacked his lips, a little exhausted, "I thought that the Dongwu Navy could toss again, let the two of us also go to the formation, ah, this fire, alas!"

"Who told us that the experience of water war is not as good as Qi Fu!" Guan Ping looked at the fire in the distance and smiled lightly, Liu Changsheng was not around, but he became a lot more stable.
