The Great War began with the battle for Jiangxin Island.

Bao Xinyan also saw the strategic value of the small island on the river, so when he learned that the Zhenjiang army had just seized the island not long ago, he immediately asked Bao Yuchun for instructions, and asked the vanguard troops to recapture Jiangxin Island upstream before the main fleet arrived at the Jingkou camp, build a cover system in the waterway, and ensure that the back road was unblocked.

Bao Yuchun was an expert in water warfare, and immediately agreed to his nephew's suggestion and sent a forward battalion of 200 warships to attack Jiangxin Island in the east.

When Nie Xian received the news, he also reacted immediately, and he ordered Luo Yuan to lead his warships to reinforcements to assist the soldiers defending the island against the rebels' counterattack.

A fierce battle broke out between the fleets of the two sides near Jiangxin Island.

Hundreds of ships circled the small Jiangxin Island, shuttling back and forth, violently ramming, and dense rockets pierced the sky, igniting countless sails; Giant bolts buzzed, sending sawdust to the ship's side.

The soldiers on both sides rose bravely, jumped on each other's decks, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with their opponents. All of a sudden, the sound of killing on the river shook the sky, and flesh and blood flew in the warship.

At the same time, thousands of rebel light-armored sailors poured onto Jiangxin Island from three directions in small boats and launched a fierce attack on the soldiers defending the island.

The densely vegetated and lush island turned into a Shura battlefield in the blink of an eye, full of swords and swords, white feathers flying.

The battle lasted a whole day and a night. In the end, the Kunpeng 10th Army failed to withstand the fierce attack of the rebels' elite sailors, so they had to temporarily withdraw their troops and surrender the island to the enemy.

Seeing that Jiangxin Island was back in his hands, whether it was Bao Yuchun or Bao Xinyan, they were all very relieved. The water passage to the east has been completely opened, and the next step is to attack and retreat, and the main fleet will be able to get the greatest security guarantee when it enters Jingkou.

In view of this, Bao Yuchun hurriedly passed down the order: the whole army should speed up and rush to the naval camp in Jingkou as soon as possible!

As long as the main force joins forces with the warships there one step earlier, it can consolidate the defense line of the river and intercept the Zhenjiang army from crossing the river.

More than 1,000 building ships and fighting ships, raising their sails and waving huge oars, went down the river mightily, and soon walked through more than ten miles of waterways and arrived at the Jingkou Fortress.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they appeared here, there were bursts of earth-shattering war drums on the other side. In the vast river mist, countless huge black sail shadows loomed, gradually approaching the Jingkou side!

Bao Yuchun was calm and determined, and ordered all his subordinates not to enter the port again, but to take the battalion as a unit, turn the bow of the ship, and begin to line up, preparing to meet the Zhenjiang army.

-

The most important battle of the naval army is three types of warfare: long-range warfare, impact warfare and broadside warfare.

The fleet under Bao Yuchun adhered to the tactical characteristics of the broad sea army, relying on the physical advantages of the building ship fighting ship, and was good at ramming and engaging.

In terms of long-range attacks, the newly formed Kunpeng Tenth Army had the upper hand.

Needless to say, the giant crossbow and bow and arrow on board the ship, and the Flowing Fire Light Boat invented by Wang Wenlie once again worked wonders. Before the warship arrived, countless self-detonating rafts had already floated in front of the rebel fleet.

Booming explosions came and went, and dazzling fireballs continued to rush into the air next to the warship, and when they turned around and fell, they either ignited the hull or wrapped the ship's soldiers into burning men.

After an initial period of confusion and panic, the rebels gradually calmed down, and as they fought back with their bows and arrows, they slammed their ships forward, intending to shorten the distance with the Kunpeng fleet and engage in melee combat to maximize their advantage.

No matter how wide the waterway of the great river is, after all, it cannot compare to the boundless and boundless sea like the broad sea, and on the river surface of thousands of steps from north to south, more than 2,000 large warships of various types have been piled up at once, and the space for turning around has suddenly been compressed a lot.

Therefore, the rebel warships bravely rushed forward after several rounds of bow and arrow blows, and soon approached the ships of the Zhenjiang army and rammed into the other side.

In the face of the fierce and approaching enemy, the officers and men of the Kunpeng Tenth Army were not afraid at all, and everyone turned the sails, fiddled with the rudder, adjusted the angle of the battleship, and met the enemy.

The next moment, the sound of a huge impact was heard incessantly.

Although the sailors on the deck had grasped various objects in advance to stabilize their bodies, they were still staggered by the terrifying impact of the battleship.

The thud was followed by the cacophony of the hulls of the ships clattering, and the ships were squeezed crookedly, and the gang was splashed with debris, and the terrible situation was like the end of the world.

However, at this time, no one can be afraid anymore, because the enemy is already in sight!

The sword and shield men on both sides of the ship, tightly guarding the archers, shot wildly at each other first. The people on both sides were close at hand, and the feather arrows were like two torrential rains, slamming into the opposite side, instantly bringing a burst of exclamation and blood.

And then, the sword and shield men, who were lucky not to be shot, did not hesitate, and rushed towards the opposite side with a roar. The Kunpeng warriors and the rebel sailors were completely strangled together, and as far as the eye could see, hundreds of warships were full of swords and guns and desperate fighting figures.

-

"General! Captain Luo sent a signal, and they stared at the rebel flagship, asking for an attack! ”

When Nie Xianzeng heard this, he couldn't help but secretly praise Luo Yuan's eyes for being so sharp, the battlefield was chaotic like this, and he could actually lock Bao Yuchun's position.

The so-called shoots the man first and shoots the horse first, and the thief captures the king first. When the two armies are in a fierce battle, if they can threaten the safety of the enemy general, or even capture and kill him, it is undoubtedly the key factor in sealing the victory.

So he hurriedly sent an order to Luo Yuan to lead his troops to fight, and strive to hit Bao Yuchun's flagship!

With the approval of the commander, the fierce general Luo Yuan immediately roared, ordered his subordinates to put away the sails, urged the winch in the cabin, and flexibly interspersed with the flywheels on both sides of the warship, and went straight to the position of the rebel flagship.

Although Du Wei Luo Yuan didn't want to die in a fight, he was by no means the kind of reckless man who only knew how to fight desperately. On the contrary, this guy was bold and careful, quite good at surface warfare, and when he was approaching Bao Yuchun, he specially instructed his soldiers and generals to go around quietly and quietly, trying not to attract the attention of nearby enemy ships.

At the same time, he also ordered his eight flywheel fighting ships to accompany him in front of him, and once he found that an enemy was trying to intercept him, he could immediately pounce on him and entangle the opponent so that he could move forward smoothly.

In this way, an assault team composed of nine warships quietly swung towards the rebel commander's flagship Furious Dragon.

As the battle on the river became more and more fierce and chaotic at this time, with warships shuttling back and forth and billowing smoke everywhere, the observation sentries on the Angry Dragon only stared at the main battlefield where the most ferocious was fighting, and they were completely unaware of Luo Yuan, who was gradually approaching along a strange route.

By the time they finally found out that something was wrong, Luo Yuan's flywheel fighting ship was only a hundred feet away from the Angry Dragon!

Seeing that the target was in front of him, Luo Yuan gave an order, and let the three flyships that were still following him accelerate their charge, directly crashing into several large warships blocking the periphery of Bao Yuchun's flagship, and he rode into the dust and slammed into the Angry Dragon.

"Not good! Enemy sneak attack! Prepare to ram! Prepare to ram! ”

The lookout post at the top of the mast let out a hoarse cry, but he was still a step too late, only to hear a loud bang, and the sentry was shaken into the air by the force of the impact, and then fell heavily to the deck.

The sailors of the Furious Dragon were all like him at this moment, either falling to the ground or falling directly into the river, and the entire warship fell into chaos.

"Kill!"

Luo Yuan shouted violently, jumped on the rebel flagship first, and then brandished the long knife in his hand and rushed to the flagship platform.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he stepped on the handsome stage, before he could see the situation clearly, a fierce knife aura came head-on, completely enveloping him!

Luo Yuan is also extremely brave, in the face of the master's surprise attack, he raised his knife and stubbornly went up. With the crisp sound of metal clashing, Luo Yuan suddenly felt that his arm was numb, and his chest seemed to be hit hard by a big hammer, which was painful and stuffy, and he couldn't help but staggered down the steps.

A thin but sturdy figure appeared on the steps of the Shuai Tai, it was the rebel commander Bao Yuchun!

Bao Yuchun looked at Luo Yuan at the bottom of the steps coldly, and said word by word: "Dare to come and sneak attack Ben Shuai, look for death!" ”

With that, he slammed into the air, and the "Jiaosha" long knife in his hand angrily slashed Luo Yuan.

As a famous general of the Holy Tang Dynasty, Bao Yuchun's martial arts have always ranked among the top three in the military, only slightly inferior to He Jingming and Xie Guang. In the vast sea, I don't know how many of the top masters of the thieves have died.

He has not personally gone into battle for many years, and in today's battle between the two armies, Luo Yuan successfully attacked and collided with the ship, and he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and his murderous intent was suddenly born.

With the faint sound of a dragon's groan, Jiao Sha slashed down from the air and went straight to Luo Yuan's door. In front of him, the other party's killing move was cold, Luo Yuan hurriedly retreated two steps back like lightning, which was able to dodge Bao Yuchun's edge, and then roared angrily and swung his knife to meet it.

The two of them went back and forth on the deck of the Angry Dragon, leaping back and forth, and fiercely attacked dozens of moves, which can be described as not giving an inch.

Luo Yuan was young and had an advantage in physical strength, coupled with his own bravery and fearlessness, which largely made up for the gap in his martial arts. However, Bao Yuchun's level is there after all, not only is his internal strength pure and profound, but also his combat experience is extremely sophisticated, so after a long fierce battle, the balance of victory and defeat began to gradually tilt.

"Boy, you're no match for me! Abandon the knife and surrender, Ben Shuai can not kill you! ”

Bao Yuchun mastered the initiative on the field, and the more he played, the easier it became, and at the same time, he still had the strength to speak and carry out the technique of attacking Luo Yuan's heart.

Listening to what the other party said so easily, Luo Yuan knew that it was difficult for him to win, and the nearby enemy ships were also approaching the Angry Dragon, and the situation became more and more unfavorable. His mind turned sharply, forced Bao Yuchun back with a knife, and laughed: "Grandpa, I've had enough fun today, I'll take your dog's life next time!" ”

With that, Luo Yuan threw the long knife in his hand at Bao Yuchun to stop him from rushing over to fight, and then stretched out his hand to support the boat gang and jumped off the deck.

With his water nature, he can easily get out of the bottom of the river.

However, just as Luo Yuan was in mid-air and had not yet entered the water, a feather arrow suddenly shot from the warship next to him, hitting him in the chest!
