Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, a whistling sound sounded in my ears, and the bearer smashed into the distance.

The Xiangyang Naval Division, the main building warships combined, there were nearly seventy, and according to different sizes, there were hundreds of catapults installed, and this line of attacks suddenly weaved a net and smashed down towards the spindle formation of the Tang army.

The spindle formation is a common formation of water warfare, mainly assault, the ships are denser on the water, suitable for broadside battles, but in the face of the overwhelming boulders, the Tang army's warships are obviously a bit like targets, although the projectile position of the trebuchet is difficult to grasp, but the victory is in large numbers, and the enemy ships are dense enough, so the hit rate is not low.

One after another, the Tang warships were overturned by boulders, or simply sunk, and the big ships were smashed into a mess, and the sailors on the deck were smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, but the Tang army still did not loosen the formation, but continued to launch a water charge towards the Xiangyang Navy, quickly narrowing the distance between the two sides.

Five miles, four miles, three miles, when the distance between the two sides was almost a kilometer, the water generals of the two sides finally issued a new command, and the fleet walked, and the grasshopper flying boat was like an arrow off the string, suddenly accelerated, and broke away from the fleet, like a fist, rushing towards the other party.

The boat is extremely flexible on the water, and there are three or five grasshopper boats on the stern, the hull of this small grasshopper boat is streamlined, the length is three zhang three, and the width is only five feet, a typical long and narrow hull, but the belly space is still relatively large, this kind of grasshopper boat can be operated by only two people, and there is a single sail to accelerate the speed of the ship.

In the bow, there is a sharp bow, and under the water, there are two ivory-like ramming angles, hidden in the water, this kind of boat is a kind of arsonous boat, in the bow of the ship, filled with sulfur, oil and wood chips and other flammable materials.

The convoy of the Don army quickly occupied the upper water level. Because they came from north to south, it was the headwinds that ate most of it. The surface of the Tianhe River in July. The southeast wind occupies the world, and it can be said that the Tang army has some disadvantages at the beginning.

And when Tang Jun is swinging a right hook. The Xiangyang Navy also threw a right hook. However, the Xiangyang Navy took advantage of the gentle southeast wind on the water today, hung up the sails, walked, and the speed of the grasshopper suddenly soared.

In mid-air, Leng Zhuo watched the first round of confrontation between the two sides, as if two big men were throwing fists at each other, but when they collided with each other, the two sailors of the Xiangyang Navy were still maneuvering. When rushing forward before, the Shuanglong formation of the Xiangyang Navy Army had already adjusted its direction, and it passed close to each other along two completely opposite parallel lines.

Situ Lang's second sailor sailed all open, and countless snow-white canvases were full of wind, going up against the current, while Du Sanniang's first sailor put away most of the sails and went down the river with the advance of the current.

The two sailors seemed to circle around the spindle-like Tang army, and this undoubtedly made full use of the advantage of the upwind direction, wrapped left and right, and then inserted from the middle, and thus avoided the strongest front end of the spindle formation, as well as the assault force of the dense array, once inserted into the two ribs, the Tang army's warships were difficult to turn because of the dense formation, and it was easy to be cut off by the waist.

It can be said that the actions of the Xiangyang Navy are very clear, just like two angry Jiao of the waves entangled in the Tang Army's warship, Leng Zhuo can be said to know nothing about water warfare, but he can also see the general situation, but although it has a slight upper hand in terms of geographical advantages, in terms of the number of warships, the Xiangyang Navy with only two sailors has undoubtedly suffered a big loss.

Although the number of naval ships of the Tang army in Nankou is only more than 1,000, it is more than the first and second naval divisions with only 600 warships, of course, in the number of large warships, the Tang army is much worse, but on the water, the smart small and medium-sized warships are more difficult, so once the broadside battle, the Xiangyang naval division is obviously at a disadvantage.

Countless grasshopper boats finally completed the maneuver, and the Flying Fish warship and the walker also collided, the hull of the Flying Fish warship was slightly larger than the walker, and on both sides of the ship, there were two oars like fish fins, which was a sharp weapon to deal with the thin boat like the grasshopper flyboat, and the walker obviously did not have the setting of these two fins.

The grasshopper flying boat does not need a person to operate, if it is in a downstream, or even downwind, as long as it is in a good position, the rest can be left to the current to follow the direction of the wind to operate, and as long as there are a few burning incense sticks on the boat, it is enough to complete the attack by determining the burning time.

A walker can tow three or five grasshopper boats, and this wave of attacks will be at least two or three hundred, of course, this small grasshopper is not counted as a number, and it is easy to build, a few carpenters, it doesn't take a day to build one.

As soon as the grasshopper boat was untied, it was suddenly like an arrow off the string, moving quickly along the current, these streamlined, narrow and narrow boats, there are some small secrets on the hull, such as under the surface of the hull, there is a water box with an angle of inclination, just like a fish scale, if it is downstream, these water boxes can enhance the force surface of the water flow, and at the same time will not increase too much resistance.

And this design, so that the grasshopper boat has the fastest movement speed on the water, nearly three hundred grasshopper boats rushed out of the river, and soon approached the catching fish boat, but this wave of flying fish boats is only fifty or sixty, if you only face these grasshopper boats, pull up a line, at least seven or eight can be eliminated, but those mixed in the grasshopper boat are not decorations.

On the water, the bed crossbow is almost a medium-range edifice on the water, and the threat to the big ship is not high, but for the flying fish with only a dozen people, the warship of the walker, a crossbow arrow is flying, lucky, you can kill three or five people at once, after all, the hull space is limited, and it is impossible for more than a dozen people to line up too much.

The attrition is a big injury to this kind of small and medium-sized warship, and the crossbow arrows of both sides are undoubtedly the biggest obstacle for the Flying Fish warship to intercept the grasshopper boat, after all, it takes two or three people to operate the oars together to say that the oars are raised high, and then they are shot down fiercely.

The flying fish boat is ushered in in the form of a net, so that these grasshopper boats can be netted to the greatest extent, while the Tang army is relatively concentrated, obviously intending to break through one place, and the result is that the flying fish boats on both wings have quite a success, but the defense line in the middle is torn apart, and a large number of grasshopper boats pass through the interception of the flying fish boats and continue to go downstream, and the speed of the flying fish boats is difficult to catch up with these grasshopper flying boats.

And as the grasshopper boat continued to move forward, the fire signal inserted in the ship also burned to the end, and immediately ignited the flammable materials on the ship, and black smoke came out of the grasshopper boat, and at least one hundred and thirty or forty of them went down the river in this wave.

Leng Zhuo rode the Blue Falcon from mid-air towards the position of these grasshopper flying boats, and the Blue Falcon's special skill, Ice Blue Crystal Feather. As the blue falcon's four-foot-long wings spread, the surrounding water spiritual power quickly condensed into crystal ice feathers. With the blue falcon flapping its wings violently. Windy. Countless ice feathers flew down.

The dense ice feather storm directly covered twenty or thirty grasshopper flying boats. Sharp ice crystals smashed directly into the hull. Under such an attack, the thin grasshopper boat quickly disintegrated.

Leng Zhuo killed sixty or seventy grasshoppers one after another here, and there were also dozens of water system earth spirit masters in the fleet, but most of these people rode blood sword midges, swimming quickly in the water, and the speed was several times faster than that of the grasshopper boat, and after approaching, the blood sword midge's swordfish-like bone sword quickly sank the remaining grasshopper flying boats.

Speaking of which. This is also thanks to the blood sword midge beast seedlings that Tang Jun invested in Xiangyang Crescent Bay, although this thing is very scourge, but it is an underwater monster with a very fast growth rate, of course, feeding this blood sword midge beast is definitely a huge expense, the blood sword midge beast is a super big stomach, just to form a blood sword midge beast water cavalry of about 100 people, the cost is worth the cost of two brigades and tens of thousands of guards, well, this is not counting the salary.

You must know that the armies under Leng Zhuo's command do not care about the food and salary at all like the Holy Sect army, the full amount of food and salary every month, and the logistics to support the army, these are all a lot of money, which is why Leng Zhuo does not dare to work too hard, fighting a war is spending money, and fighting a big war is equivalent to spending more money, Rao is that he has a peace ticket in hand, and he doesn't dare not care.

The warships are still cutting through the thorns and thorns, breaking through the layers of water waves, but it is obvious that these grasshopper boats have not made great progress except for bringing some small trouble to the other party, even if they are not completely intercepted halfway, but the few grasshopper boats will be crushed by more warships in addition to the black smoke emitted by them, which is a little troublesome.

As the warship continues to approach, the two sides finally approached, standing on the deck of the ship, and even able to see the face of the enemy on the opposite ship, the Xiangyang Navy is using two dragons out of the water, and then bypass the front end of the opponent, straight into the two ribs of the tactics, and the Tang Army's response strategy is also very simple, like a guinea fish, swell their bodies, the thorns on their bodies are completely erected, and turn around to face the battle.

And the two sides finally inevitably collided together, the huge warships were intertwined, and the hardest side battle in the water war began, and because it was inserted into the middle flotilla of the Tang Army, the fleet in front of the Tang Army could not play a role in a short period of time, and if it wanted to turn around, it would take a lot of time, and during this period of time, the Xiangyang Navy fought for a short-term numerical advantage for itself, and only needed to face the Tang Army warships in front.

The battlefield of the two sides is strangled together, and under the water, the earth spirit powerhouses with underwater demonic beasts on both sides have also begun to strangle under the water, but under the cover of countless hulls, this kind of fighting seems silent, but occasionally there are warships that will suddenly start to sink.

Bang, a large building warship is like a mad lion, rampage into the group of strangled warships, it is like a king, tall and majestic, up to six or seven zhang hull, making it like a giant, as many as four or five layers of deck, so that the building warship has more space.

Behind the wooden battlement wall, a group of archers shot at the sailors on the low middle and lower warships on all sides, condescendingly, it looked like a huge hedgehog, of course, the huge hull made it unusually large, but also equipped with more and more powerful weapons, the trebuchet was just one of them, and in this kind of close combat, the six huge oars installed on the building ship, like spider legs, constantly raised and fell.

The huge force weighing thousands of catties slapped on those boats, flying fish, and even shark boats, countless sawdust splashed, walkers, and flying fish broke and sank in an instant, and even if the shark boat could withstand it, not counting the unlucky ghost who was killed, the splashing sawdust could also take away more lives.

The Lou warship is worthy of being the king of melee combat on the surface, and obviously at the beginning of this kind, the Xiangyang Navy has an absolute advantage, and with the destruction of one warship after another, the balance of victory seems to be tilting towards the Xiangyang Naval Division, and at this time, the damned front-end warships of the Tang Army are still turning around the water, and when they go around the rear of the Xiangyang Naval Division, it is estimated that the daylily is almost cold.
