Here is the place where a number of rivers and rivers converge in Lingzhou, there is a big lake next to it, called Hongtao, the circumference is 100 miles, the depth does not know a little, the mouth of the six rivers holds the shape of victory, the convenience of water conservancy, has always been the place where soldiers must fight.

At this time, in Hongtao Lake, two water divisions slowly approached.

One of these two sailors is under the banner of Dingwang, there are many ships, the canvas is like a cloud, covering the sky and the sun, but it looks a little scattered, and it seems that it has not been established for a long time.

And there is a smaller number, only 10,000 people, but the morale is high, under the banner of Mamun.

On the flagship in the center, Wu Pheasant was also looking at the fleet opposite.

"I heard that the elite of the Mameng sailors, looking at its orders, even if they are on the water, they are also forbidden, and they are uniform, and they are really strong!"

After a long time, she sighed leisurely: "I heard that these sailors were mostly water bandits in their predecessors, and there are so many talents in the world!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

The following generals, especially the generals of the water division, heard this, and immediately couldn't hold their cheeks, and stepped forward and knelt down: "The last general will lose before the death, and the crime should be ten thousand deaths, and today I ask the king to give him another chance to make meritorious contributions!" ”

"Hmm!"

Wu Pheasant bowed his head slightly and pointed out one person: "Chen Xun!" Today, I order you to be the vanguard, and take five ironclad ships and fifteen tortoiseshell ships to meet the enemy! ”

"Yes!"

Chen Xun is a local scholar in Lingzhou, and when he got the order, he immediately got off the flagship, and it didn't take long for a small fleet to be separated from the huge sailors and face the opposite side.

"This is the ironclad ship that the king ordered the Ministry of Industry to make?"

On the flagship, Wu Tiehu, Chen Shuncheng and other army generals were a little stunned when they saw the five big ships covered with iron armor slowly sailing out.

The ship was huge, and above the water, it looked like a steel beast.

"Yes, this is the son himself who drew the drawings, and then led by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to work day and night, supervising the production!"

Zeng Yu said beside him: "Not only is the appearance wrapped in iron sheets, and the defense power has been greatly increased, but the deck is no different from land, and you can put bed crossbows, ballistas, and even trebuchets!" ”

……

"Good ship! What a good ship! ”

Chen Xun stepped on the ironclad ship, although it was not the first time, he still couldn't help but admire.

"Giant ships and heavy crossbows are the trend of future water warfare......"

As a talent who has won Wu Mingqing's eyes and passed the test of Wu Pheasant, Chen Xun's vision is exquisite, and he knows his advantages at a glance.

"The enemy sailor, mostly water bandits, they are good at boating, the Yangtze River is like walking on the ground, and they are good at water fighting, like wolves in the water...... My sailor is newly trained, and it is not advisable to fight hard. ”

"But guarding this ship is like a fortress on the sea, allowing the enemy to pack wolves, and it is also a guerrilla scattered, how can it be broken? Then hit it with crossbow arrows and catapults, and you will be invincible! ”

When the lieutenants heard this, they all praised one after another: "The general is high-minded! ”

"Attack!"

The conquest of ships on the water is in charge of the order with the flagship, and at this time, Chen Xun's ironclad ship is the flagship, and when the order is given, the fleet suddenly forces towards the enemy.

"Woo ......"

The horn sounded on the opposite side, and a fleet of ships also came out.

At this time, several large boats came out to meet the attack, and dozens of small boats were followed around, and in the midst of the roar, they surrounded them like wolves.

When they got closer, the sailors in short clothes and bare arms, armed with bows and crossbows, and short swords, were clearly visible.

"Bed crossbow, hair!"

Chen Xun's face remained unchanged, and with an order, the bed crossbows in the fleet suddenly roared.

Woohoo!

The crossbow arrows used on the water have been modified to be almost the thickness of a baby's arm, and the bowstring is trembling, firing out like cannonballs, stabbing people, and dismantling boats, and screams are immediately heard from the boat opposite.

"Kill!"

After several waves of mutual fire and confusion, the enemy's boat finally approached the outermost tortoiseshell boat, but when the enemy sailors bit their sharp knives and wanted to jump onto the edge of the ship for a string battle, they were stunned to find that there was a layer of turtle shells on the top of the ship in front, and from the gaps on the four sides, there were spears and spears protruding, like hedgehogs, which were difficult to swallow.

As for the ironclad ship, it is like a giant city, unattainable, and the chassis is extremely strong, even if there are water ghosts who want to dive into the bottom of the ship and chisel it, it is also wishful thinking.

"Bump it into me!"

Chen Xun looked at those boats with a cruel smile on his face.

Whew!

Around the ironclad, two rows of oars stretched out and paddled the lake, causing the five beasts to rush forward at an alarming speed.

"Ahh

The sailors on the boat screamed so badly that the ship was shattered and had to jump to survive, except for a few who were very good at the water, and the rest were shot by the archers, stained with blood.

"Set fire to the boat!"

Seeing that these warlike sailors were defeated so easily, the vanguard on the opposite side finally made a trick.

More than a dozen small boats in the rear were piled with firewood and lamp oil, and at this time, a little fire suddenly burned brightly, turning into torches on the water, which were manipulated by the dead and rushed to attack.

"Crossbows, trebuchets, shoot me!"

Chen Xun's face remained unchanged and he responded calmly, and the crossbow bed and small trebuchet on the ship roared angrily.

Bang bang!

A small boat was hit by a stone and disintegrated directly in the middle of the road, and the dead man on it broke his bones and bones and fell into the small lake.

And several small boats, which came near, were set on fire by their crossbows, and there was not a single dead man on them.

In the end, only a few fire boats approached, but they were dragged away by the tortoiseshell boats in front of them with long hooks in a hurry, and there was no impact at all.

The sailor striker on the opposite side lingered for a long time, and finally had no choice but to retreat.

There were cheers from Chen Xun's fleet.

'Huh......'

As everyone knows, Chen Xun at this time was also relieved in his heart: "These recruits, after a big victory, have finally raised their spirits, even if they encounter the enemy in the future, they will dare to fight and fight, and they will not collapse suddenly......

……

The three armies here cheered, but in the camp of the sailors, Ma Meng's face was very ugly.

"Originally, the Dingzhou Sailor has been frustrated several times, but I didn't expect to recover so quickly and make a comeback so quickly!"

Mamon sighed.

Now he also knows the difference between him and the great martial arts pheasant.

The other party doesn't care about the small defeat at all, even if the Dingzhou Sailor loses more than half, as long as the foundation is still there, under the order, there are still countless resources that can be mobilized, and the Lingzhou family takes the initiative to donate people and materials, and the recovery ability is strong.

But on his own side, there are only two counties, one less person dies in the sailor, one ship loses one to go, but the progress of the shipyard is not satisfactory, often one ship on his side is launched, and the other party has already increased three or five ships! And the sailors are always full!

With such a gap, how can we return to heaven with manpower?

"Handsome! Exultation! ”

At this time, the previous Counselor Sun was overjoyed, and quickly said: "This sect heard that the marshal asked for help, and attaches great importance to it, and has sent several uncles with high mana, even if the ancestor also has an order, he will help the marshal at a critical time!" ”

"Oh?"

When Ma Meng heard this, his mind was originally a little shaken, but he wavered again.

……

Hongtao Lake.

After several days of testing and attrition, Ma Meng finally took the lead and couldn't bear it anymore, and prepared for a decisive battle.

Of course, Wu Pheasant will not show weakness, and directly use Chen Xun, Gan Meng and other dry water masters as governors to fight in Hongtao Lake.

At this time, hundreds, thousands of ships fought together, and the scene was very different.

"Trebuchet, oil bomb preparation, projectile!"

Chen Xun stared at the opposite ship, a glint flashed in his eyes, and after waiting for a moment, he suddenly shouted.

"Fat!"

The trebuchet had already been prepared, but instead of stone bullets, it was a terracotta pot filled with black fire oil.

This oil is far lighter than stone, and the trebuchet can easily throw it over a very long distance, and hit the enemy ship, but the fire spreads immediately, and even floats in the water, and it is easily indestructible, and the enemy is immediately burned to cry wolf.

"Excellent! Go on! ”

Seeing that the plan worked, Chen Xun's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement.

This oil bomb is also the winner and loser of King Ding's preparation this time, and it has been hidden deep and secret, in order to make a big deal now, give full play to the maximum effect, and hit the enemy.

"The poison of soldiers is not more than fire and water, but at this time, it is both!"

Many oil bombs fell into the enemy ship, and a sea of fire suddenly ignited, and from time to time a figure with a blazing body could be seen jumping into the lake.

It's a pity that even though they are familiar with water, in the center of this battlefield, they are like duckweed, and they are either killed by stray arrows, or they are drowned alive after exhaustion.

"Husband fight, courage also!"

Ci is not in charge of the troops, Chen Xun has no mercy at this time: "After this round of fire attacks, we must take advantage of the victory to pursue, break the enemy fleet in one fell swoop, and it is best to defeat the sailor Dazhai again!" ”

"Governor, it's not good, the wind has changed!"

At this moment, a lieutenant watched the change of the flag and immediately exclaimed.

"The direction of the wind?"

Chen Xun was taken aback.

Today, he chose to attack by fire, also because it was blowing the west wind, which was beneficial to his naval army, no matter how much the fire spread, it could only rage among the enemy army, but now...... Looking at the banner that gradually whistled sharply, Chen Xun's face changed suddenly.

"It's the east wind......"

He looked at the opposite side, the big ships that had been burned by the fire had gradually separated from the Mamun sailors, and there were signs of drifting towards this side, and his face couldn't help but be a little white: "Self-defeating? Impossible, before today's battle, I personally tasted the water and soil, and invited a Taoist priest to watch the heavens, there is absolutely only the west wind, how did this evil wind come about? ”

He looked at the opposite fleet, and his eyes suddenly moved: "Could it be that this Ma Meng actually invited a Heavenly Master Demon who can interfere with the celestial phenomena?" ”

The art of war is the only one, and anyone who stands in the way of the army is a demon!

"Haha...... Pass the order down, attack! ”

On the other side, Ma Meng also went to the flagship, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but say to Counselor Sun next to him: "Uncle Ling, sure enough, the mana is profound, and he can borrow the east wind to help me win, and when this battle is over, I will definitely reward you heavily!" ”

"Thank you, Dashuai!"

Counselor Sun thanked him, and he was also shocked in his heart: "There are also masters in the enemy army, and they can still perform spells at this time, it must be the ancestor who made a move!" ”
