Just when Xue Meng ordered the fleet to turn around and prepare to encircle and kill the twenty Zhenjiang Army warships heading downstream, the remaining ten fighting ships located in the direction of the Guazhou ferry upstream were personally commanded by Luo Yuan, and suddenly appeared from the thin mist and lined up on the river.

The lookout post of the rebel sailors saw the situation clearly, and hurriedly shouted a warning, reminding the warships that were turning around to be on guard.

Unfortunately, however, they were still one step slower after all.

Just as the rebel warship turned its head, Luo Yuan gave an order, and the ten flywheel fighting ships suddenly beat their war drums and rushed forward. They each locked on to a target, slammed into each other's shipside positions, and slammed into each other's ships!

In the blink of an eye, there was a loud boom.

The bow of the flywheel bucket is fitted with an iron pestle the size of a grinding disc, and the front hull is also wrapped in iron sheets. The incomparably powerful impact immediately smashed the rebel warship in two, or directly split it into pieces.

The ten fighting ships continued to gain momentum, and after killing ten enemy ships, they continued to move forward and slaughtered directly into the rebel fleet.

It was another meteor-like rocket in the sky, which caught Xue Meng off guard.

Almost at the same time, the 20 fighting ships downstream, using the power of the flywheel, quickly maneuvered, and came back from the two sides of the river, flanking the rebel fleet left and right.

Objectively speaking, the combat effectiveness of the rebel naval division is not weak, and the experience in surface combat is also extremely rich, especially the officers at all levels, who are all veterans of fighting the wind and waves in the open sea for a long time.

However, they lost on the carelessness of the enemy. Especially for the water warfare force of the Zhenjiang Army, there is no way to talk about even a minimum understanding and cognition, let alone suddenly encounter new equipment such as flywheel fighting ships, there is no way to deal with it.

In the battlefield environment of fierce fighting, once you lose the opportunity and panic, you are bound to be in a completely passive state for a period of time, in addition to being beaten, you will still be beaten.

And Luo Yuan didn't intend to give Xue Meng a chance to react gradually.

He ordered his men to blow the horn of the herald, inform all the warships, and launch an assault on the enemy's core, smashing anyone in their way!

Thirty flywheel fighting ships were like crazy bison, rampaging across the river, as if they were in a no-man's land, converging in the same place from different directions.

And that location is where Xue Meng's flagship is!

The sailors on the Flying Dragon followed the moonlight and firelight, and noticed that the warships of the Zhenjiang Army were desperately heading towards their side, and hurriedly reported to the main general Xue Meng, and Xue Meng had already understood Luo Yuan's intentions at this time, and hurriedly ordered his own warships nearby to move closer to him immediately.

At this moment, there is no concept of formation and formation in the battlefield, and more than 100 warships of both sides are coming and going on the water, and it is difficult to distinguish between them. After receiving the commander's order, the rebel ships hurriedly adjusted their direction and rowed hard, and immediately sixteen ships surrounded the nearest one, with the Wyvern as the core, forming a circle of shields.

If the Flying Dragon and sixteen warships successfully block the impact of the Zhenjiang Army, then the rebels on the outskirts of the farther periphery can take advantage of the situation to surround and trap the lone Zhenjiang Army fleet to death, or even eat it.

The unfavorable situation from the beginning of the war to the present will be completely reversed.

Luo Yuan behaved calmly, stood on the command platform and shouted: "Signal!" ”

As he spoke, a firework bomb burst into the air from the deck, exploding large clusters of golden sparks in the sky.

"Long live my emperor!"

Suddenly, a huge battle horn sounded on the north bank of the river. Immediately afterward, hundreds of giant crossbows burning with flames rose from the shore, pierced the sky, and shot towards the Wyvern.

The Divine Machine Battalion of the Second Fire Army began to wield!

The giant crossbow of the Shenji Battalion, which had been gaining momentum for a long time, was two hundred long arrows in one salvo, and with the help of the naval brothers to indicate the target, the enemy's flagship suddenly became a veritable target.

Xue Meng, who was standing on the lookout, didn't even have time to shout, he was pierced by a huge arrow, and at the same time flew away from the battleship.

The last scene he saw in his eyes before he fell into the water and swallowed his breath was that his beloved Wyvern was like a shining hedgehog, illuminating the entire river.

-

Just as Xue Meng's fleet was attacked by Luo Yuan near Guazhou, a mysterious fleet suddenly sailed in the downstream direction of Jingkou Wharf.

The whole fleet waved the banner of the Jin army, and did not hold the lights, just drove quietly on the dark river, and gradually approached the dock.

At this time, fierce battles were breaking out in the upper reaches, and more than 20 miles away, a faint firelight could be seen.

The sentries on the docks all craned their necks to the west, and did not realize until the fleet had entered the harbor.

"Hey, who are they?"

"Huh? It seems like...... Hey, it seems to be our warship, which flag? ”

"I don't know, hurry up and ask! What the hell is going on? ”

The sentries were immediately confused, some raised their torches to signal and inquire, and others jumped into the dinghy and headed over the fleet.

In short, it must be your own people, so there is no need to panic.

But who knows, before the sentry's ship approached, a large bowstring vibrating sound suddenly came from the front ship, and then countless feathered arrows flew out of the darkness and rained down on the people on the pier trestle.

With a few exclamations and screams, the fleet suddenly lit the torches on the ship at the same time, and hundreds of huge flywheel fighting ships appeared on the side of the Beijing port like divine soldiers!

"Long live our emperor! Kill! ”

Three thousand lightly armored sailors swooped out from the warship, and some of them quickly boarded the pier pier and controlled it in their hands, while struggling to cut off all the cables of the ships docked at the pier.

More fighters boarded the enemy ships and attacked and killed the rebel sailors sleeping in the cabins like chopping melons and vegetables.

Without warning or warning, the rebels in their sleep were completely killed and cried. Many people jumped into the water from portholes or decks without even putting on their clothes.

According to the practice of the army, the warships were anchored at the shore, and only a small number of sailors were left on the ships, and the rest were all ashore and camped to rest. Therefore, after the light troops of the Zhenjiang Navy raided, the rebels on the various warships were either killed on the spot or took the road to survive, and soon they were empty.

At the same time, the enemy soldiers in the dock camp reacted and began to launch a counterattack in the direction of the trestle.

The two sides mingled between the dock camp and the waterfront trestle, swords and swords, and fought endlessly.

Listening to the constant sound of military trumpets and war drums from the opposite side, Nie Xianzeng, who was sitting on the boat, knew that time was precious now, and he must not be dragged down by the enemy, and in turn it turned into a fierce battle on the water. Therefore, he ordered his subordinates to grab as much as they could, not to delay the operation because of greed, and let the flywheel fighters destroy all the warships that could not be taken away.

At the sound of an order, the light soldiers of the navy quickened their movements, and more and more rebel warships were driven out of the dock and sailed towards the dark and dark river.

By the time Yao Mingjie organized a large force and pressed towards the trestle in an all-round way, the Zhenjiang sailors who had landed on the shore had already retreated to the ship and sailed away.

-

Two days later, when Bao Yuchun, the commander of the Jin army and the governor of the navy, rushed to Jingkou, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry when he saw the broken ships that were all burned black.

In an inexplicable battle of the Great River, one hundred and thirty-five warships were destroyed on his side, and at the same time, one hundred and forty-two ships were stolen by the other party, and more than half of the entire Jingkou Navy was lost.

The most incredible thing is that not only failed to win the water battle of one hundred against thirty, but even the general Xue Meng and the main warship Feilong were put into it.

It's just incomprehensible!

Bao Yuchun was so angry that he trembled, and directly ordered someone to tie up Yao Mingjie, and waited for him to fall.

Yao Mingjie knew that he had caused a big disaster, so he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy again and again, and even moved his own sister out.

And his sister is Bao Yuchun's wife.

"Brother-in-law, spare your life, brother-in-law!" Yao Mingjie cried and shouted: "The Zhenjiang army is cunning and has secretly built a large number of warships, and we were completely kept in the dark in advance, and we didn't know how to guard against it!" Brother-in-law, I was wronged! Please leave me with this life, I will definitely pay for my crimes! Meritorious service! Spare your life! ”

Bao Yuchun was annoyed by his quarrel, and shouted angrily: "Pull it down, let's beat the fucking fifty military sticks first!" ”

The pro-soldiers agreed, dragged Yao Mingjie out and beat him hard, and passed out in less than twenty military sticks.

Bao Yuchun didn't really want to kill his stupid brother-in-law, just teach him a lesson, and just get out of his evil spirit. He called the generals of the camp at the entrance of the Kyoguchi camp and ordered them to tell them in detail what had happened the night before.

After everyone's gossipy and vinegar descriptions, Bao Yuchun gradually had a rough outline of the whole incident in his heart: the Zhenjiang Army does have a powerful sailor!

The battle that night was basically divided into three parts.

Thirty warships, with the cooperation of the army, set up a suspicious formation in Guazhou upstream, lured Xue Meng to attack, and then took advantage of the geographical advantage to take the lead in launching an attack, which was too late for their own measures.

At the same time, hundreds of well-equipped ships, disguised as Jiangnan sailors, first quietly killed the warships guarding the mouth of the canal, and then quietly approached the Jingkou wharf to carry out a sneak attack. The opponent's combat intent is very clear - to grab the ship!

In addition, there was a small fleet, about twenty or thirty fighting ships, which silently touched the dock downstream of Jingkou and took away all the sixty-six large ships parked there.

Although the opponent's entire operation was very concealed, with the main word "strange", no matter the number of ships or the combat quality displayed, it aroused Bao Yuchun's vigilance.

Obviously, those people are by no means the temporary sailors who were hastily formed by the Zhenjiang Army. On the contrary, they are familiar with the tactics of water warfare, proficient in the operation of warships, and are good at fighting frontal battles, but also can come and go in the great rivers without a trace.

This is clearly the first-class naval force of the Holy Tang Dynasty!
