Huo Jun stood on the river, the river breeze was blowing, looking at the north and south banks of the Yangtze River in Xiakou, only to see that the river was vast and boundless, it was difficult to see the shore, and people were as small as ants in the river.

Xiakou, the Wuhan section of the later generation, the narrowest part of the Yangtze River is about 1,000 meters, and the widest part is about 4-5 kilometers. However, in the Han Dynasty 2,000 years ago, under the influence of Yun Mengze, the Yangtze River was much wider, and hundreds of warships sailed side by side, which was also feasible.

In later generations, Wuhan, known as the city of a thousand lakes, was still mostly under the river, only the snake mountain came out abruptly, surrounded by the river on three sides.

As far as the eye can see, around the three-story ship of Huang Zu, there are hundreds of various ships, fighting ships, and boats. These ships protected the Huangzu warship, and the towering mast raised the sails, and the dense canvas covered the sky and the sun, and a magnificent scene came to the face.

If you look down from the sky, Jiangxia's fleet turns over the corner of the Yangtze River, changing from a semi-tailwind to a headwind, the fleet moves southeast, and Jiangdong's fleet heads northwest and is on the tailwind. The vanguard of the two sides is about to face each other on the vast Yangtze River.

"Shoot the arrows!"

After a while, Zhang Shuo, the vanguard of Jiangxia, saw that Jiangdong's ships were within the range of bows and arrows, drew his long sword, and shouted loudly.

"No!"

As Zhang Shuo's flagship, he hoisted the flag and signaled his sailors to shoot arrows.

"Whoosh!"

Between the bowstrings shook, hundreds of arrows roared up and flew towards the Wu ships in a projectile situation.

The Wu ships also began to counterattack, and the soldiers on the deck with bows and arrows drew their bows and arrows to throw at the opponent under the cover of the female wall. The distance is too far for the arrows to pose a lethal threat and can only serve as harassment. However, there are still unlucky people who are shot by arrows, let out a scream, and are dragged back to the cabin.

For a moment, the arrows on the river flew through the air, swaying with the sound of the wind, or flying into the water, or shooting onto the hull of the ship.

After an appointment, Ling Cao, who was holding a shield and shielding the rain of arrows, saw that the Jiangxia hull still had no intention of engaging in broadside battle, so he sneered and said: "Order, drive the ship to approach the enemy's flagship, go to the broadside battle, and see blood with blood." ”

"No!"

"Full rudder left, go northwest."

The fighting boat flying the 'Ling' flag headed towards Zhang Shuo's boat.

"Captain, enemy ships are approaching!"

Zhang Shuo looked at the Ling Cao flagship coming towards him through the female wall, sneered, and was not afraid.

"Accelerate!"

"Hit it by the water!"

"No!"

Zhang Shuo's battleship was under the action of the turbulent Yangtze River, and the boatman struggled to shake the oars and collided with Ling Cao, who was also traveling.

Ling Cao, who held the shield in one hand, shouted hoarsely: "Hold the sails tightly, stand firm, take the bait and refuse, don't let the enemy ship escape." ”

"No!"

In the river surging and agitated, the waves crashing on the shore. The soldiers on both decks dismounted, clutching the ropes in their hands, for fear that they would be knocked away.

"Bang!"

The moment the ships collided, both sides could not stand still under the huge impact force. The unprepared soldiers fell to the boards, knocking them dizzy; There are even unlucky eggs who fall directly into the river and drown in the surging Yangtze River.

Immediately afterwards, the hull of the ship shook and the sound of firewood breaking, which was broken when the two sides were staggering, and the oars were broken too close.

When the ship was slightly stabilized, the hook on Ling Cao's boat took the lead in hooking Zhang Shuo's boat, and the soldiers on the deck hid under the women's wall to prevent being shot by arrows, and struggled to pull the rope to merge the two ships into one.

"Boom!"

Two ships in one.

"Kill!"

Ling Cao held the shield in one hand, the ring-headed knife in one hand, and the leather armor on the shaking deck, as if walking on the ground, and took the lead in jumping over the enemy ship.

Zhang Shuo's subordinates also reacted, carrying weapons, and also killed the past. The distance on the deck is limited, and the two sides can only compete in melee bravery to see who dares to exchange their lives for their lives.

The bloody graft battle begins!

Ling Cao flicked the spear with his shield, and then took advantage of the height of the ship's wall to leap down, swinging his knife and slashing the face of the Jiangxia soldier. While the Jiangxia soldier was wailing, another knife stabbed into the abdomen of the Jiangxia soldier and killed him.

"Whew!"

The cold light flashed, and a knife slashed towards Ling Cao's arm.

Ling Cao retreated with his vigorous pace, then blocked his sweep with another shield, pushed hard, and while the enemy was unstable on his feet, he stabbed Jiang Xia into the abdomen with another knife and finished him off.

At the same time, as Ling Cao entered the enemy general, there were also many of his parts. The Ling clan hurriedly advanced and retreated, and then collided and fought, the two sides fought fiercely, the densely interlaced blades, the sprayed blood, the messy fighting scene, and from time to time there were screams.

Under Ling Cao's bravery, Zhang Shuo's headquarters was killed and retreated. Perhaps sensing the difficulties of Zhang Shuo's battleship, a small boat in Shaoqing Jiangxia boarded the other side of Zhang Shuo's battleship and joined the battlefield to help Zhang Shuo try to suppress Ling Cao.

With external help, Zhang Shuo's headquarters and Ling Cao's department also fought back and forth.

However, Ling Cao's bravery was really outstanding, and in this one-on-one battlefield, he exerted his role to the extreme, and at that moment, he used it to get closer, and swung his knife several times, breaking a few big holes in the enemy's chest and abdomen. The wounds of the enemy were gushing with blood like a fountain, and after a while, after two convulsions, it did not move.

Ling Cao, who killed another person, finally found Zhang Shuo. The two began to fight closely, Ling Cao's shield reached forward, blocked the long knife cut by Zhang Shuo, and continued to move forward without stopping, waving the ring head knife in his hand, trying to cut into Zhang Shuo's body.

Zhang Shuo also blocked it with his shield, but Ling Cao used great force this time, shaking his arm numb, leaving a knife mark on the shield. Ling Cao then slammed Zhang Shuo with his shield, Zhang Shuo couldn't bear his strength, turned around and passed through the pole of the boat, dodging the attack.

However, how could Ling Cao let Zhang Shuo run away, holding the long knife and slashing, the knife happened to slash at the artery of the thigh. Suddenly, Zhang Shuo's eyes bulged violently, and he fell to the ground screaming. Ling Cao strode to catch up and cut his throat with another knife.

Ling Cao cut off Zhang Shuo's head, carried the head that was constantly dripping blood, and shouted loudly: "Your pioneer is dead!" ”

Zhang Shuo's subordinates, who were still fighting, lost their fighting spirit in an instant, and either surrendered on their knees, or were taken advantage of by Ling Cao's subordinates to solve it.

In one breath, Ling Cao captured two warships in a row, and killed Zhang Shuo, the pioneer of Jiangxia, which can be described as extremely brave.

"Mighty!"

"Mighty!"

In the midst of everyone's congratulations, Zhang Shuo's battleship was hoisted with the 'Sun' flag, which means that his battleship has been taken by Jiangdong.

On the Yangtze River, where the fighting is fierce, almost all the ships connected are fighting, but whenever there is a gap, there are ships to fill it. The bloody battle of the broadside tested the courage of the foot soldiers more than the battle on the ground, and at the moment Zhang Shuo was killed, the news that the flagship was captured was comparable to the capture of the flag, and the military spirit in the front of Jiangxia was sharply shaken.

Zhang Shuo's death was like dominoes, and his men were either captured or fled backwards. And Ling Cao also re-boarded his own flagship and killed the Jiangxia battleship.

On the stern of the flagship at the front of the Wu army, Xu Kun learned the good news from Ling Cao, and excitedly patted the ship wall with his hand.

"Raise the flag, let Huang Gai lead the front battleship to press!" Xu Kun shouted: "The flagship is also pressed, and speed up, so that all the warships of our army can see the general, so as to encourage them to fight." ”

"No!"

Xu Kun commanded the elite as the front and fought in frontal contact with the Jiangxia battleship. As for Sun Quan, as the lord, he sat in the Chinese army and watched how Xu Kun commanded the battleships to fight.

The beheading of the pioneer Zhang Shuo was also extremely shocking news for Chen, who commanded the front. Zhang Shuo was a brave captain in Jiangxia's army, and he was killed like this, and the enemy was too fierce.

"General, the enemy's vanguard has broken through the front of our army and is killing our warships!"

Chen gritted his teeth and shouted: "Its vanguard has declined, and I ordered Chen Li and Yu Shi to lead their troops to pick it up, and they will definitely block the enemy army." ”

"No!"

Under the command flag, the front of the Jiangxia fleet and the front of the Jiangdong fleet have been completely handed over.

At this time, on the deputy flagship of the Chinese army, Huang Jie's expression was not very good, looking at the chaotic battlefield in front of him, and said: "The front has been handed over, and it seems that our army is being pressed by the Jiangdong battleship to attack." ”

Huo Jun put his hand on the hilt of his sword and said, "Young General, the battle of the naval army, Yongye!" The vanguard of our army has been broken, and the morale has been lost. Now he should be a brave warrior, lead a light boat to break through, break the enemy's vanguard, and regain morale. ”

Huang Jian frowned and said, "Captain Zhang is already a warrior of our army, and there is no one in the army today. ”

Huo Jun stretched out his hand and pointed to the 'Gan' flag fighting boat not far away, and said: "Captain Gan Ning is the enemy of ten thousand people. Let him fight now, enough to kill the enemy's vanguard. ”

Huang Jian turned his head to look at the 'Gan' flag fighting boat, shook his head and said: "Gan Ning is rude and vulgar, so he can't be reused. ”

Listening to the content of Huang Jie's refusal, Huo Jun almost rolled his eyes, he really couldn't understand why Huang Zu and Huang Jie's father and son hated Gan Ning so much.

Taking a deep breath, Huo Jun was patient and said, "Young General, although Gan Xingba is vulgar and inferior to others, Ranning is brave and brave. Today's war is difficult, and brave generals are rare, so it should be tolerated. ”

Huang Jian was quite moved, muttered a little, and said: "The war is difficult, Chen Dudu should have a plan, it is better to watch it for the time being." ”

Huo Jun lowered his head and sighed, it was really as later generations said, he was not afraid of god-like opponents, but he was afraid of pig-like teammates. Now he has the feeling of watching rookies play games in later generations, and he can't wait to operate it for him!

Huo Jun exhaled turbidity and stared at the situation on the battlefield, there was nothing he could do at the moment.

In his eyes, it is normal for Jiangdong to have this kind of performance, and in history, Jiangdong can occupy one-third of the world, but it is not blown out, but it is really fought. The strength of the Jiangdong water war far exceeded that of the other two countries. It's just that their excessively strong water warfare capabilities have inhibited their land warfare capabilities.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the water battles were mainly broadside battles, which belonged to the stage of individual heroes, and at the same time, in this environment, they relied on bows, crossbows, light armor, and blood bravery.

But if they are placed on land, they are accustomed to relying on individual bravery, and they lack the concept of teamwork, and they are not enough to see. Among the tens of thousands of soldiers, if you don't know how to fight on horseback, you won't be able to see enough individual bravery in foot combat.

In Huo Jun's opinion, the content of Wu Qi's comments on the Chu army can also be used on Jiangdong soldiers with a slight modification.

The people of Jiangdong have a weak temperament, vast land, and different chiefs. Although their formations were well organized, and some of their soldiers were fleshy, they could not last. The way to deal with Jiangdong's army should be to frustrate its edge, and then confront it, sometimes by surprise, sometimes by retreat, Jiangdong's soldiers are tired of coping, and naturally he will expose his weaknesses.

Seize their qi first, advance lightly and retreat quickly, work hard for the disadvantages, and do not fight with them, then they can be defeated, which is also one of the ideological bases for him to suggest that Huang Zu fight with Sun Quan.

While pondering, Huo Jun suddenly felt that the southeast wind had become slightly stronger.

"The wind is getting stronger!"

Huo Jun looked up at the hunting flag on the bow of the ship, and said in a low voice: "It's difficult!" ”
