Remember [Pen ♂ Fun → Pavilion in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

On both sides of the Danfu River, the spring is bright and shining, the sun rises, if it is not for the two armies of Bachu and Chu to sharpen their knives, it is a beautiful scenery.

After only a few months, the second major station on the Danfu water surface kicked off.

The former commander of the Chu army, Yang Ming's best friend and love general, and now ordered to belong to the command of Qu Rong, the famous general Shen Xiao led the group and was trained more than 5,000 people as the forward, Qu Rong personally led the army to follow, arrived near Yushuikou, moved the boat to the south bank of the formation, and faced the Pakistani army.

The Chu army waved its flag, the drums sounded like thunder, and more than 25,000 sailors and hundreds of war boats crossed the river head-on.

The warships of the Ba country are generally smaller than those of the Chu people, but the small has small benefits, and the flexibility is higher. It is extremely dangerous to shoot, specifically looking for the big boat of the Chu army, lighting torches and other flammable materials made of various oils, throwing them into the boat of the Chu people with the short sword throwing method that they are good at, or tying the fire source to the arrow and shooting it into the boat of the Chu army;

The Chu army was attacked by the "self-SHA" attack of the Ba people, and was confused and chaotic for a while.

This is the tactics discussed by Ba Yuanan, the eighth prince of Pakistan, and others, hoping to use fire to attack the weak again to defeat the strong. This tactic was first proposed by the Longwu general Gu Menglong.

For the Ba people, it is a pity that the Chu army is prepared.

Previously, Qu Rong, the commander of the Chu army, heard a report from a spy that the Pakistani army had assembled at Panhukou and was heading towards Yushuikou, convening the generals to discuss.

Qu Rong believes that in the case of the disparity in strength, the Ba people did not take a defensive position, but like last time, they took the initiative to fight a decisive battle, and there must be a trick that the Ba people thought were wonderful.

Qu Rong finally believed that Deputy Marshal Zhuang Fu's analysis was the most reasonable.

Zhuang Fu believes that it is unlikely that the Pakistani army will adopt the old tricks of luring the enemy into depth, ambushing in a big hole, and pretending to be a ghost, and there must be a new method, and the most likely is a fire attack, because spring is coming, and the wind on the Danfu water surface is strong - in fact, this is not a special "clever plan" that is difficult to guess, and there was no artillery fire in the water war at that time, and it was a conventional method of combat to ram, shoot arrows, attack with fire, and jump on the enemy's boat in hand-to-hand combat.

At the same time, Qu Rong ordered a tooth for a tooth, and also prepared an arson team, so that the Ba people, who were generally dressed in rattan armor, would reap the consequences.

Therefore, the Chu army first prepared buckets in the warships that were prone to fire, and carried out drills, when the rockets of the Ba people came and the flammable materials with fire were delivered, the Chu army was not very panicked, and quickly extinguished the fire.

Some of the Ba people's arson death squads jumped into the river to survive, and some of them were buried in the encirclement and suppression of the Chu army.

Seeing that the fire attack did not achieve the expected results, the Ba people fought with the Chu army with their old lives, and those who were a little farther away shot at each other point to point; those who were close, the Ba people jumped on the Chu army's war boat and fought hand-to-hand.

For a while, the Chu people, who had the advantage of troops, did not take much advantage.

From the morning to the afternoon, the Pakistani army was finally small, and the enemy could not match the advantage of the Chu army with more boats, and the commander of the Pakistani army, Ba Yuanan, the eighth prince, ordered a retreat.

The Ba people retreated, and the Chu army, as they usually trained, quickly formed a fleet of boats to chase and kill.

This time, Qu Rong was not as cautious as Yang Ming last time, because he had already figured out the details of the Ba people, and knew that the Pakistani army did not have the good luck of "falling from the sky" with a large number of reinforcements like last time, and only had to rely on the absolute superiority of his own forces to take and control the gate of the gorge.

This time, Qu Rong was not ready to chase after the capital immediately, because he knew that the closer he got to the capital, the more the Ba people would jump over the wall, and the more fierce the resistance, and it would not be easy to take the old capital of Ba.

At the same time, Qu Rong also believes that the opponent Ba Yuanan also understands his intentions and will not use up the forces in his hands at one time, if this is the case, the citrus capital will be lost, and Ba Yuanan can lose Hu'an Mountain, but he will definitely not be able to lose the citrus capital.

Seeing that the Pakistani army was retreating, Qu Rong ordered the troops to be divided into two routes according to the advance plan: one to pursue Ba Yuan'an, with the goal of the Gorge Gate, and all the way to Hu'an Mountain, with the goal of the base camp of the Gu clan and the beautiful Hu'an Mountain grassland.

Previously, Qu Rong considered that the deputy marshal Zhuang Fu led the army to take Hu'an Mountain, and after thinking about it, the key defensive target of the Pakistani army should be the Danfu waterway that can directly enter the capital of the country, and the defensive strength of Hu Anshan must be insufficient, that is, after the defeat of the main force of the Pakistani army, it is easy to take Hu Anshan, and there is no need to let Zhuang Fu, who was once on an equal footing with him, pocket, so he handed over this task to the brave general.

However, it was said that the son of Hu'an Mountain, Hu Menglong, the general of Longpai, Tu Tianqi and others, according to the pre-war deployment, should have been the first to withdraw to Longxikou, but unexpectedly, in the chaotic process of retreating while fighting, when they retreated to the predetermined location, they were still in the middle of the torrent, and they did not have time to receive the shore, and they were washed down to the water surface of Longxikou for four or five miles.

Chu general Xiang Gui pursued closely to the preparatory site not far upstream of Longxikou, began to land, and was first received by Fan Yuntong, a red-faced tiger who had been ambushed in the trees on the shore in advance, and then welcomed by the willow leaf short sword.

Xiang Gui saw clearly that his opponent was the red-faced tiger with the first sword in Pakistan, so he first felt weak, threw down hundreds of corpses, and ordered to return to the boat and rush to the shore a few miles downstream.

Seeing that the Chu general Xiang Gui was a few miles away, he traveled to the north bank, and it was expected that he wanted to seize the beachhead on the north bank of the river and prepare for the smooth landing of the Chu army attacking Hu'an Mountain. Tu Tianqi said to his junior brother Ding Yan: "If the Chu army in front of us robs the north shore before us, we will be in big trouble." ”

Since the landing site opposite was a steep cliff several miles long, and it was impossible to go ashore, Tutian Qi ordered all his strength to go against the water to block Xiang Gui.

The sailors sweated like rain, and the flag boat of the sky ruler approached the Chu army against the current at a speed that ordinary training could not achieve at all, and only seven boats behind him had the ability to keep up at the same time.

Nearly 100 warships of the Chu army rushed down the river, and the Chu general Xiang Gui took the lead, and the momentum was violent, and he was about to dock.

At this time, Tutian was still more than 150 steps away from Xiang Gui, and said to Ding Yan: "It's too late, watch me shoot him!"

Tutian looked at the flag fluttering on Xiang Guizhou, measured the wind direction, wind speed, and distance in a short time, and pulled out the strong bow.

At the sound of the bowstring, two arrows shot out at the same time from the flag boat of the Hu'an Mountain Boat Division, which was still moving forward, like a meteor catching the moon, almost the same beautiful arc, and flew towards the Chu general Xiang Gui.

The sound of the wind, roar, and water on the river was mixed, and it was still far away, and the Chu general Xiang Gui couldn't hear the bowstring of the Ba people at all, like a door panel that suddenly collapsed, turned over and fell into the water—both arrows hit him in the head.

Of course, Tutian Ruler only released one arrow, and the other arrow was Ding Yan heard Tutian Ruler say that he wanted to shoot Xiang Gui, and he also shot an arrow at about the same time.

A hundred steps away, there was a river wind, still on the swaying war boat, two arrows hit the enemy general at the same time, and the Ba people cheered loudly.

Tutian Qi smiled and said, "Senior brother is afraid that I won't be able to shoot him with an arrow?"

"Where, I'm afraid that he will have a hard head. Ding Yan said with a smile.

You must know that Tutian ruler and Ding Yan are brothers, both of whom are the disciples of Ding Gong, a famous predecessor warrior and descendant of Shang King Wuding, because the archery skills of the two are also magical, they are known as "Dan Fushui Double Arrows", and Tutian ruler is called "the first arrow in Pakistan" by many people. Xiang Gui's death under the arrows of these two people is not unjust.

Seeing that Xiang Gui suddenly fell into the water, the Chu army couldn't tell where the arrow came from, panicked, and did not dare to continue to approach the north bank, so they rowed to the shallow water on the opposite bank, waiting for the arrival of the army.

The master of the Hu'an Mountain Boat Division snatched back the time to return to the defense with the combination of the arrows of Tutian Ruler and his junior brother Ding Yan, and landed on the north shore before the Chu army.
