In the dark night, there is not a single ray of starlight, and there is a slight rain in the sky, although I can't feel most of the rain, but after standing in the open air for a long time, I will still be drenched by the rain.

At this moment, the Dongjiangkou Water Village, which was originally lonely and quiet, suddenly became noisy, with bright lights, people neighing and horses, and it was very lively.

The few cavalry and a large number of foot soldiers under the command of the Beifu Army were the first to rush to the water village according to the established time, ready to board the ship.

Xie Xuan almost didn't sleep all night, dispatching ships and making overall arrangements. It is necessary to ensure that these nearly 100 warships are organized in an orderly manner and that the formation is not chaotic. For him, a first-class commander with 95 points, although it is not a difficult task, he still needs to concentrate and command carefully.

What's more, this can be said to be the first real water war in the Qianguo, and he cannot afford to take it lightly in the slightest. Therefore, Xie Xuan did not dare to be negligent in every detail, and strived to be orderly and orderly.

The larger ships were used to carry cavalry, and the smaller ships were natural to transport infantry. It's just that there are also many difficulties. People are good to say, after entering the cabin, just stay in the designated area and do not move, but the war horse may not be obedient.

These war horses are used to galloping on land, and when they reach the deck of the war board, it is almost difficult to adapt, especially the wind and waves on the river are very strong, it is easy to make these war horses frightened, if a large number of war horses are rushing and colliding, accidents of capsizing may occur.

In the end, Gao Heng, the commander of the Second Division of the Beifu Army, came up with a way to enclose one lattice after another with wooden poles on the deck in advance, each grid can just accommodate a war horse, and the front and rear wooden poles of each grid are movable and can be opened at any time to form a temporary stable, tying the war horses to the barricade, no matter how they struggle and neigh, they can't break free.

In this way, it can be ensured that the war horse will not run around in the case of fright, and will not have any impact on the movement of the warship.

And because the railings at the front and rear are alive, as long as the crossbars are all opened when the war horse is on the boat and when disembarking, the war horse can fish in and out, which is very convenient.

The Beifu army soon boarded the ship. He Qian, the commander of the Fourth Division of the Beifu Army, gave an order, and several gates of the water village were opened, and all the warships sailed out of the water village in turn. If it is larger, it will be necessary to send people to expand the river, which will be too time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to delay the fighters.

There has been such a big movement on the side of the Qianjun Shuizhai, unless the Laojun on the opposite side is deaf or blind, it is impossible not to know. What's more, in order to spy on the movements of the Beifu Army, Zheng Yuchun, the general of the Laoguo Navy Army, would send patrolling fast ships in shifts to spy on the military situation near the Qianjun Water Village, both day and night.

This kind of shipwat is the smallest warship, with a long and narrow hull, and has the advantages of extremely fast speed and extraordinary agility. Although due to the limitations of the shipwright's craftsmanship, Lao's ship is only of the black iron level, but after some improvements in the details of Laoguo players. His original surface reconnaissance and assault capabilities were greatly enhanced. Although there was no way to expect them to be unable to break through the defense line of the Beifu Army, it was no problem to undertake the task of approaching the Qianjun Shuizhai and spying on the first-hand information of the Qianjun.

Therefore, when a large number of cavalry mounted on the warship by the cadres today, such a big battle naturally could not be concealed from the patrol clippers of the Wu army, and Xie Xuan did not do anything to conceal it at all, the entire ferry was brightly lit, and tens of thousands of horses and horses continued to board the ships, which made the Laos army patrols dumbfounded, obviously the cadres were going to carry out a large-scale landing operation, otherwise it would be impossible to stuff so many men and horses onto the warships.

The patrol speedboat Fei also returned to the camp on the west bank, and hurriedly reported this urgent military situation to Zheng Yuchun.

The generals of the Lao army were shocked when they heard the words, but Zheng Yuchun, who was the commander-in-chief at this moment, had an extremely cold face, and waved his hand to signal the generals not to panic, although the cadres had the intention of crossing the river, there were still nearly 100 black iron-class warships and more than 200 large and small fishing boats on the west bank of the Shuhe River. Although compared to Xie Xuan's sailors, they are not at the same level in terms of quality at all, but they are not decorations, and if the fleet of the dry army cannot cross this defense line, then they will not have a chance to land at all.

Of course, the cadres and soldiers are so mighty at this moment, it must be fearless, and Zheng Yuchun does not dare to slack off in the slightest. At the sound of an order, the warships of the Laoguo Navy lifted anchor one after another and greeted the Beifu Army.

However, Zheng Yuchun still kept an eye on it, and in order to prevent the cadres from deceit, he ordered the warships of the Lao army to only sail as far as the center of the river, and not to cross the center of the river.

Zheng Yuchun has always been worried about the things covered with black canvas on the ship of the Qianjun Building. The more mysterious things are, the more vigilant he is, after all, Qianguo has spent so much trouble here, it is impossible to make a mystery here.

The overall strategy of the Lao army is defense, and the purpose of defense is to preserve itself, supplemented by striking at the enemy. Therefore, Zheng Yuchun did not order the Laoguo naval army to attack on all fronts, but let them stay in a relatively safe area to meet the enemy, if the cadres attacked, they would be annihilated, but if the cadres only feintmed, then they didn't have to pay attention.

On the other side, Xie Xuan commanded the warships to sail out of the water village, and lined up the warships, lying across the Shu River, with all the building boats in front and the small boats in the back, forming a grand scene on the river like a thousand sails racing, and doing enough in terms of momentum.

Xie Xuan's reason for showing such a warship formation was to attract the attention of the Laotian naval army and lure a large number of Laotian warships to intercept it. Although the Qianguo fleet looked aggressive, the speed of its movement was not fast at all, and after they sailed out of the water village, they sailed slowly all the way.

Zheng Yulin led the army to fight, but he also strictly followed the orders of his younger brother Zheng Yuchun, and did not rush to the Qianjun army rashly, but after reaching Jiangxin, he stopped the warship, and a thousand archers bent their bows and arrows, ready to wait for the Qianjun warship to enter the firing range, and immediately carry out a stormy blow!

However, just when the Beifu army was only three hundred steps away from the Laoguo Naval Division, the Beifu Army had already stopped, the black canvas on the three-story ship was torn apart, and twenty eight-company strong crossbows appeared in the eyes of the sailors of both sides.
