On the undulating bow of the ship, Zhou Cang looked at the neat naval formation of Dongwu, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he really deserved to be the world-sailor.

The huge fleet is like a cluster of black clouds moving, two rows of ships in front of them rowing the water, with detailed waves breaking through the water, and behind are the boats and fighting ships, neatly arrayed, horns and drums resounding through the valley.

When the open ship reached the level with Zhu Ran's front, it suddenly stopped on the river, without the slightest mistake, and the waves it brought up swayed the ships on the same line up and down, and there was a unique scenery.

The ships that followed were very tall, a few points wider than the ships where Zhou Cang was, and the big "Wu" colored flags danced with the wind, and the rows of crossbowmen on the strings of the ship were bright and waiting for them.

The ship slowly stopped behind the stern and drove to both sides, leaving a wide blank area in between.

The most striking thing is, of course, the three tall fighting ships that appeared later, all three of which were five floors, and the middle one was even higher than the two sides, and there were fine ping pong standing on each floor, with guns and arrows and horns vibrating the sky.

The word "Lu" on the pole and flag erected on the hull of the ship is very eye-catching, and it is Lu Xun's command ship of the Chinese army.

The ships on both sides were "Ding" and "Zhou", which were the battleships that Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai were on.

"Those three are probably the 'fighting ships' mentioned in the intelligence, right?" Zhou Cang muttered, staring at it.

Although the sentinels planted in Soochow also brought news that the newly built "fighting ships" in Soochow in recent years were very large, they were classified as military secrets, and the specific information was unknown.

Now seeing it with his own eyes, Zhou Cang was also surprised in his heart, the contempt in his heart had been reduced a lot, and the strength of the Eastern Wu Navy could not be underestimated too much on the water.

However, immediately thinking of the aircraft carrier that Jingzhou had secretly built for three years, Zhou Cang couldn't help but snort coldly, since Lu Xun is here, the largest warship of the Dongwu Navy looks like a fighting ship, let those people be proud for a moment.

"That's what the fighting ship is!" Zhou Li was disappreroving, and sneered with his teeth, "If this is the full strength of the Eastern Wu Navy, I think the name of the World Navy, will be given to us!"

Zhou Cang turned his head to look at this stunned young man, and said, "Your little son is still too young, remember it to the old man in the future, you can't underestimate the enemy at any time, even if you have a great advantage, you can't take it lightly, this is called ...... Call the arrogant table tennis to be defeated!"

Zhou Li saw that Zhou Cang was angry, hehe-hehe-laughed, touched the back of his head and didn't dare to reply, understood that it was for his good, stood on the side of the ship, and looked at the Dongwu Navy.

"General, the Chinese army has arrived." At this time, the whistle pong reported. Here, I'm going to meet my father." Zhou Cang glared at Zhou Li and walked towards the stern.

329 Yiheng

Summoning the generals to the command ship, Lu Xun listened to Zhu Ran's report calmly, swept his eyes at the Jingzhou vanguard sailors in the distance, and was silent for a long time.

"Where did this Shu army get so much steel?" Ding Changsheng also frowned.

The only explanation is that those people think that the impact of the ship is more effective than that of the ship, but this huge hull is not as flexible as the ship, how to collide?

Zhou Tai also saw the dozens of Jingzhou ships that were slightly smaller than the fighting ships, if the bottom of so many warships were all wrapped in steel, it would indeed not be a small number, and it would be more practical if they were made into table tennis weapons and armor, right?

As a famous military general, he paid more attention to equipment, thinking that the equipment of Jingzhou Navy ships was so extravagant, he couldn't help but sigh, "In this way, Guan Yu's war book is not without purpose."

Lu Xun nodded, pointed to the building ship in the distance, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, look, this Jingzhou Navy ship is taller and more peculiar than the ship it gave to Liu Changsheng at the beginning, but I don't know what it is for?"

Several people listened to Lu Xun's words and watched them again, only to realize that these buildings were indeed a little different.

The upper part of the bow of those three-story buildings actually has a few swarthy holes, and the strings of the ships on the floor are full of rigid rings, and there are rows of ropes hanging on them, and everyone understands that this is the hook lock that Zhu Ran just said to grab the ship.

In addition, there are five strange wooden frames on the left and right sides of the first and second floors, which are rough and detailed, although there are flags of the Shu army inserted on them, but using such a solid wooden frame to make a flagpole seems to be a bit overkill.

In the gap of the second floor and the third floor, there are many dense small wooden stakes, each of which is inlaid with a crescent-shaped thing, like a seabird with wings ready to fly.

To say that these are all decorations is too rough and ugly - points, although they are coated with a layer of paint, but they do not look very beautiful.

"Could it be that this is the crossbow in the Shu army?" Just when a few people were guessing, Sun Huan couldn't help but exclaim.

"Quite possibly!" Lu Xun had already thought of it, his eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at those small bows and crossbows, and said in a deep voice, "I heard that the Shu army can even shoot ten crossbows, and the strength is fierce, you need to be careful when you fight later."

Zhou Tai frowned and nodded, this does not need to be explained by Lu Xun, everyone knows it, but even the crossbow is just a legend, but it has not been seen so far, and it was only used when Liu Changsheng was conquering the Huns, although he was surprised, he didn't worry too much.

With the sound of a long and dull horn, the Jingzhou Navy slowly approached.

"Huh? Is this Jingzhou Navy ship that big?" Sun Huan looked at the behemoth that appeared on the opposite side, and couldn't help but shout in a low voice.

At this time, not only Sun Huan was shocked, but even Lu Xun's face also showed a look of surprise, and several other people all half-opened their mouths, stretched their necks and looked behind the layers of flags.

It was impossible to describe the approaching hill-like battleship with a fighting ship, and even in Lu Xun's consciousness, he never thought of building such a large battleship.

With the transfer of the Jingzhou navy, on the water surface in the center, it simply moved over a hill, although this battleship is also five layers, but its huge degree is comparable to more than three of Lu Xun's command ships, and there is probably no problem with carrying 5,000 men and horses, Lu Xun was secretly surprised in his heart.

The closer you go, the more you feel the might of the battleship, and the bow protrudes - a vivid bronze dragon head, and between the two high antlers is placed - a red sandalwood plaque, which reads "Yiheng", and the font is strong and powerful, which is the name of this battleship.

In the month when this battleship was built, all the Jingzhou soldiers were jubilant, especially the navy was extremely proud, even more powerful than riding a ping pong, and Ma Jun also became one of the most admired figures in the Jingzhou navy, and this ship was designed and supervised by him.

When Ma Jun received Liu Changsheng's congratulatory letter, and when he saw that Liu Changsheng was going to name the battleship "Deheng" after him, he was even more grateful to Liu Changsheng for his kindness.

In the end, Guan Yu came up with a compromise solution, took the words of each of the two and named it "Yiheng", which not only commended the shipbuilding skills of the two, but also implied that the battleship was safe and sound in the water. Yiheng is majestic on the river, attracting everyone's attention, the Dongwu Navy is silent, shocked at the same time, but secretly shakes his head, although the dragon head at the bow of the ship is big, but can clearly see the black and secluded hole inside, it is really a big failure,

If you put a dragon ball in your mouth, it will be perfect enough.

The majestic dragon head was crossed with a layer of gold powder, shining brightly in the sun, lifelike, and against the background, I felt that the entrance of the cave was extremely unsightly, and the generals of Eastern Wu regretted in their hearts, the aesthetics of this Shu army were really too bad." The height of the five-story ship of the Yiheng decreases in turn, but even the five-story cabin is about the same height as the Lu Xun command ship, and above the top of the ship, there is also a tall wooden frame, supporting a round-shaped steel cylinder, and the same dark and faint hole is obliquely facing the sky, and I don't understand what it is doing

What is the use, above the steel cylinder - the pole flag, - a big "off" word to welcome the wind.

The generals of Eastern Wu and all the soldiers looked up at the "Yiheng", both visually and psychologically, they were very shocked, and the time was silent, and the sound of drums and trumpets did not understand when it stopped.

The size of the Yiheng made the generals of Dongwu ignore the surrounding several fighting ships, compared to the "Yiheng", these fighting ships seem very small, but the scale is really the same size as Lu Xun's command ship.

"Herod—"

In the silence, suddenly there was a sound from the top of the Shangheng ship—the neighing of the long war horses, which pulled the Dongwu sailors back from their surprise, and some of the soldiers were still rubbing their sore necks.

On the bow of the ship, a horse appeared with its hooves raised, covered in a flaming red, with a mane more than three feet long, and with the front hooves of the war horse raised, the mane also fluttered with the wind, very handsome.
