…………

In the bleak white sky, on the section of the river opposite Jiangling, in front of Chen Jun, countless sail shadows appeared from behind, Chen Jun shouted loudly in the array, and orders were issued in an orderly manner, and crossbowmen and shield soldiers stepped forward alternately, forming a defensive array on top of each small boat. Eyeing the enemy forces that were getting closer and closer, with a "buzz" vibration, a dark cloud composed of feather arrows suddenly rose, overwhelmingly swept towards the Chen army ship formation on the other side! The screams of thousands of feathered arrows tearing through the air are terrifying!

When the first enemy ship appeared on the fog-shrouded river, revealing its clear outline, war broke out!

"-Shield!!" Chen Guo dispatched the elite this time, and he was well prepared, and the enemy army would use such a tactic, which was already expected by them, and almost at the same moment, several roars of exhaustion came from Chen's ship.

A column of Chen soldiers raised the big shield, strode forward, put the shield on the edge of the ship, the crossbowmen stepped back in unison, and beside them were soldiers holding shields high, just as the rain of arrows like locusts was about to be slaughtered, the shield was raised, closed like a turtle shell, firmly blocking the rest of the Chen army under the shield, and the feather arrows rained down on the shield fiercely.

Screams and muffled snorts echoed in everyone's ears, and occasionally a few arrows happened to get in at a tricky angle, and a human life was immediately confessed to the arrows. The soldier who was lucky enough to avoid the past took over the post, gritted his teeth, and held his shield stubbornly, waiting to survive this round of arrow rain.

No matter how strong the shield is, it can't prevent hundreds of bows and crossbows from firing at this side, and at the same time there are several or more than a dozen arrows hitting the shield surface, although it has not penetrated the big shield, but at such a close distance, the feather arrows are slaughtered, and the combined power of the arrows is by no means small, just like a hammer smashing violently on the shield, as long as there is a slight weakness, it will not be able to support.

In winter, the water level has actually dropped, and the boat is a little more stable on it, but there will still be a slight shaking. At this time, the wind rises on the river, and the feeling of shaking is more obvious. However, Chen Jun is mostly familiar with water and is accustomed to this kind of wandering state, and he can stand firm by taking a little step in the figure eight.

With large shields on their backs and crossbowmen hidden underneath, they waited for the rain of arrows to pass, and they would soon be able to counterattack......

Finally, the buzz of the feathered arrows had disappeared, and General Chen ordered the shield to be lowered and the crossbowmen to prepare.

The crossbowmen arrayed in front, ignoring the red hand blown by the river wind, opened the bowstring, put on the feather arrow, according to the distance measured in advance, the bow body raised up at a certain angle, and before the bow and arrow were sent out, there was a buzz of the bowstring rebounding on the opposite side, Chen Jun raised his head in astonishment, his arm froze there, and watched another dark cloud rise on the opposite side, and dense arrows attacked like locusts and raindrops!

"-Why are they so fast?!" Chen Jun was a little disturbed, and then immediately reacted, the shields were re-arrayed, and fortunately, the shields on the side of the ship were not removed, blocking some of the feather arrows, but at this time it was already a beat late, and many people did not have time to find shelter, and they were shot through the light leather armor by stray arrows on the spot, and there were many casualties. Steady!! ”

The first confrontation was declared defeated, which will somewhat hit morale, and the general army may not be brave at this moment, and the formation is in chaos, but the Chen army is well-trained, and actually suppressed the position, and the remnants of the army were quickly gathered up, as the two fleets approached, the Chen army had already organized an effective crossbow counterattack, the shields were lined up in front, the crossbowmen were behind, and the two sides were shooting at each other at the same time.

Although Chen Ji's courage is not as good as Chen Baxian, but the ability to govern is still excessive, he knows that Jiankang is not a place of partial peace, and there will be a war with the two countries of the Northern Dynasties, so he selects and trains elite soldiers and strong generals, and does not dare to slack off for a moment, and Zangfeng has been sharpened for several years, and today is the time to show the sword! On the vast river, the warship of the Chen State was like a giant beast chopping through the waves, the river water on both sides was cut open, the white waves were surging, and they rushed straight towards the warship of the Zhou army!

The hull of the Zhou army's warship is narrower than that of the Chen warship, and the weight is insufficient, and it will definitely suffer a big loss in a head-on collision.

“…… They fire attack! Some soldiers finally messed up, hesitantly looking at the surging river flowing on the side of the boat, Zhou Jun's way of killing the enemy 800 and losing 1,000 made many people here stunned for a moment, in the hazy fire that scorched the sky in the distance, the dark clouds rose again, densely packed and shot, and several warships in the vanguard of Chen Guo finally lost order and collided with the flames!

The clashing of the cabin, the sound of swords and axes slashing with iron, the roars and screams of the two armies as they met and fought together...... These voices echoed on the surface of the river, drifting far away, on the big tooth boat in the center of the Chen army's ship array, Chen Guo's generals were all gloomy, Chen Guo declared defeat at the moment of collision, and the momentum of the Chen army was a setback, which was not a major blow to the surging army! The one-eyed veteran Zhang Zhaoda, who stood at the forefront, watched the battle situation by the railing, but his face was expressionless, but the empty eye socket in his left eye looked even more cold and terrifying.

After a while, someone asked: "General, how should the Zhou army deal with the attack?" ”

The corners of Zhang Zhaoda's mouth hooked up a sneer: "Hmph, Lu Teng's skills are poor, and a few warships are attacking, just want to stop the old man?" He waved his whip and pointed straight ahead, as if the blazing flames could not stop the veteran's gaze, "They only have a dozen warships, and against the wind, the fire can't hurt our army!" Since these people who are not afraid of death are in front of them, then ...... Crash over!! ”

When the Zhou army and the Chen army were fighting hard, the warships behind seemed to be unable to see the fire attack tactics of the Zhou army, and directly joined the battle, and collided with the Zhou army ships that came after them, the sawdust flew, the hull was broken, and the sails on the deck were broken by this terrible force! In the final analysis, the strength of the Chen army is stronger, the ships used are all large warships, and the Zhou army is not in the same heavyweight class at all, perhaps the Zhou army's method of fire attack did play a certain deterrent role in Chen Jun's psychology, but Chen Guo's commander Zhang Zhaoda did not believe in this evil, and at a glance saw through the essence of the Zhou army's external strength and middle cadres, the battle to this point, Chen Guo still has spare strength, and the Zhou army has already come up with an unsuccessful and benevolent posture, this round of the first battle, the Zhou army is of course temporarily raised its eyebrows, but the strength of the Chen army has not been damaged, and the lion is still a lion, The rabbit is still the rabbit, and the strength comparison has not changed in the slightest.

On the contrary, with the order of Zhang Zhaoda, the commander of Chen State, the Zhou army fell into an extremely dangerous situation!

Chen's big ships often smashed the ships of the Zhou army in a single look, even if they were affected by the spread of fire, it did not matter, and the Chen army still had the strength to fight, while fighting with the Zhou army, while sending people to control the fire. The situation of the Zhou army took a sharp turn for the worse, falling from the peak into the abyss, and they were all caught in a fierce battle, and at the same time, Chen Guo's tooth boats rushed on both sides, completely locking the retreat route.

Chen Jun was well-trained, moving with the sound of drums, and at the same time dispatching and cooperating with each other, the warships of the Zhou army on the river were hit and sunk one after another, and in less than two quarters of an hour, Chen Jun's eyes were already empty.

There were only a few unsunken ships left on the river, the flames still unextinguished, and the smoke of gunpowder rose into the sky......

Zhang Zhaoda watched the Zhou army on the river being swept away, and did not order to cross the river and land on the shore, but ordered the army to turn around and retreat to a river bend more than 30 miles away, and stationed on the spot.

"My country is attacking the country, and Lu Teng will definitely fight for my life, as evidenced by the water battle just now...... Lu Teng is brave and strategic, he will definitely not let me land so smoothly, I will take a look before I make a plan. ”

In the evening, only two of the warships remained, and the embarrassed soldiers of the Chen army reported what they had seen, "The Zhou army set up fences and watchtowers along the coast, hoarded heavy troops, and camped along the river, stretching for miles!" ”

General Chen Guozhu changed color in shock, Zhang Zhaoda's expectation was not bad at all, Lu Teng arranged it like this, and the army rashly landed on the shore, which would only attract a one-sided massacre! So, how to solve the current situation?
