On the seventh day of the lunar month, it is advisable to meet friends, bury, and cut wood, and avoid traveling, breaking ground, and fire.

The waves on Fuling Lake are gorgeous, boats come and go, the drums of the Huaihe River port shake the sky, the two naval armies of the north and south are lined up on the river, and the sailing boats with flags cover the sky and the sun.

Cao Xiu and Xiahou Nan stood on top of the three-story fighting ship, looking out at the water, the movements of the surrounding ships in full view, and there was a little pride in their firm eyes.

In the past three years, he has not only trained the navy, but also recruited a large number of craftsmen to build warships, and secretly sent meticulous workers to infiltrate Jiangdong and steal shipbuilding drawings.

Seeing the three boats slowly coming out of the mouth of the lake opposite, a sneer appeared on the corner of Cao Xiu's mouth, and he said to Xiahou Nan on the side: "My water master is a great success, and I also have a lot of credit to Zilin. ”

Xiahou was stunned: "Why did the general say this?" ”

Cao Xiu said with a smile: "Thirty percent of the funds for shipbuilding are from Maolin Hall, and the prince knows this credit very well, and the prime minister also knows it." ”

"You don't have to talk about the past!" Speaking of money, the corners of Xiahou Nan's eyes twitched, thinking of the properties burned by Ye County, which was enough to build another naval army, gritted his teeth and said: "You and I can defeat Liu Qi together, so that we can repay the prime minister's kindness." ”

Cao Xiu glanced at the Jiangdong warship, saw that the time was approaching, and instructed Chang Diao and others: "A certain warship and troops will not lose Jiangdong, if the water battle is won, you can go straight to Jiangdong, and in today's battle, only victory, not defeat!" ”

"No!" Chang Diao received the order, led people to board the ship, and prepared to lead the troops into battle.

Xiahou Nan set up a pergola with his hand, and saw that the Jiangdong naval army was concentrated at the west entrance, under the battle flag, Liu Qi was talking and laughing with a white-robed young general, and suddenly had a plan: "Liu Qi is the best at sneak attack, why not take advantage of the decisive battle between the two armies and send another fleet to sneak into the Jiangdong Water Village from the downstream?" If he can burn his village, he can't destroy his water village, and it will also make his army panic. ”

Cao Xiu's heart was moved for a while, and he frowned again: "Liu Qi is deceitful, how can the camp be defenseless?" ”

Xiahou Nan sneered: "Liu Qi has only arrived in Huainan for more than one month, he can only fight on land, how can he know how to fight in water?" The waterways of Fuling Lake are vertical and horizontal, with nearly 100 large and small lakes, how can he prevent it? ”

Cao Xiu thought so, and ordered Niu Jin to lead 3,000 sailors, drive a small boat and light boat from the downstream lake to infiltrate the Jiangdong Water Village, and set fire to the army when he saw the opportunity.

Niu Jin was Cao Ren's confidant general, the formation of the water army, the lack of people in the army, Cao Ren recommended Niu Jin, Chang Diao, both of them can go into the water to swim, rough water, this is also only the two generals who can be found.

After Niu Jin divided his troops, Chang Diao also led the fleet to the center of the river, the building boat was in the center, the ship was guarded left and right, and the small boat shuttled back and forth, which was very flexible.

Here, the Huaishui expands to the lake, the water is gentle, and the boats are stable, which is also one of the reasons why Cao Xiu dared to fight. If it is after the beginning of spring, the wind is high and the waves are strong, and the warship is undulating, which is a great test for the sailors to drive and stand.

Most of the Jiangdong Navy grew up in the water since childhood, driving boats like walking on the ground, which is not as good as the Jiangdong Navy Army, and now this advantage does not exist, enough to fight head-on.

However, when I saw the sail shadow of the opposite lake mouth turning, there were three building boats opening the way, and the ships followed them like small fish, which was diametrically opposite to the training method of the navy army in the past.

Chang Diao couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that the generals of Jiangdong, except for Zhou Yu, are not accustomed to water warfare. ”

The two armies lined up on the water, and the Chang Diao waved the command flag, and the ships marched forward like infantry, lined up in front of the ships, ready to attack at any time.

When he was observing, he saw a person on the opposite boat laughing and said: "I have heard for a long time that the north is rich, and the Cao thief has invested heavily in training the navy. ”

Chang Diao was furious, stood on the bow of the ship and raised his knife and shouted: "If you don't practice water warfare, you are still ashamed, come and die!" ”

The vanguard of the Jiangdong Navy was none other than Dong Xian, holding his arms and proudly scanning the Wei army's warships, pouting and smiling: "Just these few small broken ships, how can they fight with me?" I stand here and still, what can you do to me? ”

Chang Diao's face turned blue with anger, and he shouted: "Ignorant people, today you will let you know what a real water war is!" ”

Then he pointed to the command flag in his hand, and the navy on the right side started, and twenty ships were like arrows from the string, cutting through the level and rushing out, and in an instant the waves on the water splashed, the waves rolled, and the power was extremely strong.

The hull of the ship seems to be very light, the cabin is wrapped in bamboo and cooked cowhide, the soldiers hide in the ship, and the bow is equipped with an iron cone, like a rushing car, mainly to break through the bottom of the ship.

Often at this time, the other party also has a ship or a small boat in front of the big ship to block it, but the Jiangdong Navy big ship is in front, rotating slowly, and the small boat is hidden in the rear, isn't this in vain?

The sharp iron cone emitted a cold light in the sun, quickly approaching the enemy ship, invincible, Chang Diao clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "Break it for me!" ”

The boat quickly collided, Dong Xi was still laughing at himself on the boat, the Jiangdong Navy had no reaction, once the bottom of the boat leaked, the big boat capsized, no matter how good the water of his navy was, the big and small boats swarmed up, and they could only be killed in the river to feed the fish.

"Ready-" Seeing that the ship was only a kilometer away from the ship, Chang Diao clenched his broadsword and gave orders to the sailors on the ship.

Once the collision is successful, the opponent's ship capsizes, and the whole army can drive the ship to kill, not to mention that the front is in chaos, and the rear fleet will not have time to prepare for battle, and it will also be washed into chaos.

Boom –

With a loud bang, the first ship crashed into it, followed by a muffled sound, like thunder, and the water splashed everywhere, creating a faint layer of mist, enveloping the ships of the two armies. Several other ships in the fleet also crashed into several nearby ships.

There were bursts of thunder, waves rolling, water splashing everywhere, and a faint rainbow around the fleet.

"Rush—ahhh?!!h

Chang Diao had just raised the big knife, and suddenly his voice changed his tone, only to see the three building ships standing still like a reef, but the ships were knocked back upside down, and some even turned upside down, the hull of the ship broke, and the soldiers screamed and fell into the water.

The spikes made of the iron cone, although not as strong as the rushing car, were enough to penetrate the bottom of the ship, and the other party's ship was unharmed.

Knock Knock Knock –

Chang Diao was stunned, but the order had already been issued, the building ship moved forward, and the large and small ships also set off one after another, rushing towards the other party's building boat.

The big ship shook slightly, but the ship floated on the surface of the water like a school of fish at high tide, and the impact was entangled and uncontrollable, and the soldiers who fell into the water shouted and struggled, and became a mess.

"Hook down!" At the same time, Dong Xi coldly ordered to take the lead in throwing the hook.

I saw that on the Jiangdonglou boat, countless hooks and cables were thrown, all of which were stuck on the ship, and they were firmly grasped, and then the big ship started, and those ships were like big fish on the hook, and they were all taken to the rear.

"Not good!" The boat was withdrawn, and the Jiangdong ship hidden behind it was undulating on the water, and Chang Diao saw that the big ship had started, and he hurriedly shouted: "Stop, stop!" ”
