The rain of fire in the sky was as brilliant as fireworks, but the Japanese naval warships were not so easy to finish, although the sails were burned everywhere, like a huge torch, and the deck was full of small flames, but these naval warships braved the fire rain, cut through the sea of fire, and still rushed to the waterway of the lake without hesitation.

The last ten miles of narrow and long waterway, the widest part of the Taihu Lake estuary waterway is more than 40 miles wide, but the narrowest part is only seven or eight miles, from this end of the shore can see the end of the shore, is a typical narrow on both sides, wide in the middle.

In the heart of the waterway, it was the Third Division under the command of the Xuanwu Legion, more than 300 large ships and warships lined up, like a barrage dam blocking the entrance and exit of the waterway, the Third Division was not alone, in front of them, on the left and right sides, there were no less than 150 catapults to block the narrow part of the waterway.

Ponto, pun, pun!

More than ten zhang high water columns rushed up one after another, and the waves of water were beating and rushing into the entrance of this waterway like a place of death, this narrow waterway, the total length was not more than a mile, and almost all the places that could be used on both sides were used, and several nearby hills and hills were forcibly transformed, and a series of catapults were dotted on the hills.

This time the attack was not a swarm of projectiles, but a free projectile, so it seems that this time the projectile did not have the previous scene that covered the sky and the sun, dense like rain, and the momentum was magnificent, and the attack seemed sparse.

However, the attack slowed down, but the hit was several notches higher, after all, this section of the waterway was only a few miles wide, and the catapults on both sides of the river were completely able to block the waterway completely.

The narrowness meant that it was impossible for the Japanese naval warships to make large maneuvers to dodge, and as early as before, each catapult had already set the attack area, and each catapult also added an additional lookout next to it, which was only responsible for the three- or four-mile distance, and those burning ships were almost lights in the dark, and there was nowhere to hide.

A simple fixed square box, the area that can be seen in it is the coverage area determined after several catapults of the catapult, almost as long as you stare here, a ship appears in the world below, and the lookout will give an attack order to the catapult next to it.

Under such a fixed-point attack, there is only a problem if the hit degree is not increased a little.

Peng, with a loud bang, a half-ton boulder tumbled, directly smashing on the side of a naval warship, this boulder has countless edges and corners, under the violent impact, the side armor can not support it at all, and it is suddenly smashed out of a huge hole.

Usually the shell and deck of the ship are coated with pine resin, anti-corrosion and insect-proof, and even fireproof coatings, so the outside of the ship will not easily catch fire, even if it is on fire, it will not burn too quickly, but the cabin is different.

There were more combustibles in the cabin, and the ship would not be smeared with those expensive paints, so when it burned, it was out of control, and the fire broke out quickly, and thick black smoke and open flames erupted from the hole, looking like a fire dragon.

It is only a little more than a mile away, and the rain of flames is even more terrifying than the overwhelming boulder rain before, after all, it was the bow of the ship facing the catapult before, and the attack surface is not wide, and this will, but the slender hull faces the catapult attacks on both sides, and the impact area is much wider.

One after another, the ships continued to move, and finally stopped without support, and then slowly sank, and the water was full of Japanese soldiers who had jumped into the lake and swam towards the two banks.

After all, these catapults are only staring at one point, and they will not chase after the past naval warships, so as long as they pass through these few hundred meters, they will not encounter the attack of the catapults, but passing through here does not mean that the danger has passed.

Chen Ge's Third Land and Water Division was holding back his strength, because just a few months ago, in the battle of Tianhekou, the Fourth Land and Water Division was defeated at the mouth of the river, and its vitality was greatly damaged, and the Third Division also fought and retreated in order to slow down the Japanese army.

At this moment, the Third Land and Water Division has already drawn the net, and wants to pass through here, so good, let's fight for a while, and the sea beast cavalry of several water and land divisions of the Xuanwu Legion have gathered, and the number is not less than thousands, floating in the shadow of the ship, they will meet the seahorse beast cavalry of the Japanese people.

It can be said that Leng Zhuo took great pains to annihilate the water force of the Japanese army, and put all the cards that he could get in his hand.

Just rushed through the deadly entrance of the waterway, the water surface suddenly became wider, and there were no catapults on both sides to attack, even compared to the southern end of the mouth of Taihu Lake, which was a little quiet, and the vision was also affected by the dark night.

As soon as the Japanese ships rushed into this wide water, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could catch their breath, some Japanese soldiers found that under the silver-white moonlight, there was a vague huge shadow of a ship in front of them, and as the ship approached, through the bright light of the flames burning on the hull, the big ships and huge ships with interlaced teeth and horizontal rows on the water came into view one by one.

However, before the Japanese soldiers could give warning, a desolate horn sounded in the darkness, and the 3rd Division, which had been impatient for a long time, suddenly raised its sails and slowly began to move, rushing towards the oncoming Japanese ships.

The pitiful stone shells of the Japanese ships had long been consumed, and the trebuchets on the ships of the 3rd Division had been moved to land, so neither side had carried out long-range attacks, and in fact, when they found each other in the dark night, they were already very close, and the catapults were of little use at all.

In a field of crossbow arrows flying, finally in the sound of a canopy collision, the sea ships of the two sides had the most intimate contact, and the eternal decisive means in the naval battle, the broadside battle began.

Hou Xian is thin and slender, in the army, he is not qualified in the first place, not to mention the heavy armor army, even the light armor army will not necessarily want him, but Hou Xian is good at swimming, and can even hold his breath in the water for more than a quarter of an hour, and since joining the navy, after several years, Hou Xian is no longer a fisherman who catches fish and shrimp in the water.

Hou Xian, who had participated in the battle against the Tang Army, was now the combat captain on the ship under his feet, and dozens of subordinates under his command were all veterans with several years of military experience.

Hou Xian's ship is a small building ship, which is not a small warship on the rivers and lakes, but it is a bit dwarfed by the Japanese naval warship in front of him, and the deck is more than a foot lower than others.

However, this is difficult for Hou Xian, a sailor who has been floating on the water all the year round, with a agile posture to climb the mast, and jumped directly onto the opposite Japanese sea ship on the mast, the sharp long knife flashed in the moonlight, but what made Hou Xian depressed was that there were no Japanese soldiers on the deck of this sea ship who stepped forward to fight with them.

There were only a dozen or so figures who fled into the cabin, but the charred black potholes on the deck, and even the corpses that smelled of burnt meat, made their stomachs surge: "One search the deck, and the others follow me into the cabin!"

Although there are at least several large holes in this sea ship, I have to admit that this sea ship is strong enough to only need to be repaired and restore most of its combat strength, which is obviously a big temptation.

You must know that the construction of such a large ship, even if there is a large enough dock and enough raw materials, it will take more than half a year, or even a whole year, to build, and if it is repaired, it will not take a month at most.

Not every ship is like the sea ship that Hou Xian encountered, there is no resistance on it, especially those sea beast warships, these ships, but the most complete personnel, and at the same time, the sea beasts on the ship are also a big help, it is not so easy to take it.

Peng, just now the huge tentacle octopus hiding in the hull of the ship in a rain of fire was once again majestic, and countless tentacles were like whips, slashing at the Chu warship that came forward, and swept away, even if the ship could not be sunk, it also made the deck a mess, and countless sailors were overturned and fell into the water.

"What a sea beast warship!" Zhao Yun still saw these sea beast warships with his own eyes, and it was indeed worthy of the main warship of the Japanese army that caused heavy losses to the Fourth Division, seeing that this huge tentacle octopus sank two ships one after another, Zhao Yun pulled the reins of the horse, and the blood cloud silver dragon under his crotch suddenly stepped into the air and ran towards it.

The Blood Cloud Silver Dragon is a three-attribute sub-dragon beast, only two laps larger than the grassland horse, and it can be described as an elephant and an ant in front of the huge octopus in front of him, but the Blood Cloud Silver Dragon is not afraid of this behemoth at all.

"Luan Xiang!" The blood cloud silver dragon can step into the air, running in the air as if on the earth, dodging the huge tentacles with great dexterity, coming to the side of this tentacle, kicking all four hooves, and actually pounced on the churning tentacles.

The spear shot out, a Luan phoenix roared softly, on the body of the spear, the cyan spiritual power turned into a winged Qingluan, with the spear stabbed, the long sound flew away, the wings of the Qingluan were like knives, like two scythes of death flew directly down.

Poof, the soft octopus tentacles were suddenly cut off by the waist, and the blood that flew out slapped in front of Zhao Yun, but it was swept away by the wind, and the huge tentacles smashed down on the surface of the lake, but the disconnection was writhing, and it actually healed quickly, and a small tentacle grew.

Zhao Yun was slightly stunned, but he let the blood cloud silver dragon rush straight into the sky, since ordinary attacks could not pose a fatal threat to this octopus, then he could only use the ultimate.
