Chapter 89: There is a Saint King in the North

The huge warship was moving slowly in the river, and the warship was extremely large, and the armor soldiers on it were running around, shouting endlessly.

There are hundreds of armor soldiers on this warship, which is divided into three layers, and this thing is the main force of the Wei navy, called the Lou ship.

Tall, sturdy, and with good capacity, the only drawback is that it is slow and it is more difficult to turn around.

Biqiu Jian was standing at the top of the building ship at this moment, looking into the distance.

Around the main ship of Biqiujian, there are dozens of large building boats, these building boats are so mighty that they almost cut off the entire river, and around the building boats, there are all kinds of small boats, some of them are responsible for exploration, some are responsible for communication, and some are responsible for ramming, and their uses are different.

Originally, the formation of the navy was mainly based on building ships, and various auxiliary ships were set up to form a fleet and fight with independent combat units.

However, Tang Zhi changed his tactics this time, he directly gathered all the buildings and ships together, and put the exploration ships at the forefront, changing the previous way.

Many generals questioned this.

Mainly, the Wei people have already suffered a loss of gathering all the big ships together.

When a surrendered general of Wu asked them to put all the big ships together, they subconsciously remembered something.

But Biqiu Jian didn't care about this, he trusted Tang Shi extraordinarily, and gave him almost all the transfer rights.

Tang Zhi is constantly deploying at the moment.

He frequently changed formations, which made the generals extremely distressed.

Biqiu Jian was very cooperative, sitting on the warship, calmly looking into the distance, Tang Zhi was on the same warship as him.

It's not that Biqiu Jian doesn't believe Tang Zhi, but he took the initiative to give Tang Jian a platform, if he wasn't on this ship, would the generals everywhere still be so honest to abide by the flags issued by this ship, it's really not good.

After changing the formation again, Tang Shi hurriedly came to Biqiu Jian's side.

"General!"

Tang Shi saluted first, and then explained: "I changed the formation because this water battle depends on the water potential, and the water potential is different, and the formation will be necessary."

Biqiu Jian laughed, "Why explain this? ”

"Since I let you call the bills, I won't doubt this, those people don't understand water warfare, so they talk nonsense, and when you make a contribution this time, they won't dare to do this again."

Tang Shi took a deep breath, saluted again, and then walked briskly.

Biqiu Jian looked into the distance again, and Zhang Te looked at Tang Shi who was going down, and asked, "General, do you really want to attack Jianye?" ”

"Fight, if you can destroy their country and complete the great unification, why hesitate?"

Biqiu Jian looked into the distance, he couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that, after Your Majesty's pro-government, the situation in the world has changed so quickly, in the past, we resisted Shu in the northwest and Wu in Huainan, but now, we can lead the navy to take the initiative to attack Wu, such a grand occasion may only be seen during the original Emperor Wu period." ”

"There is a holy king in the north."

Under the delegation of power from Biqiu Jian, the naval army of Wei set out from Huainan and began to slowly approach Wu proper.

What Biqiu Jian and the others did not expect was that the Wu people did not choose to take the initiative to attack, and in the case of the advantage of water warfare, they only sent some small ships to harass, with the intention of delaying the advance of the Wei army.

But Tang Shi's formation stunned the Wu people.

When their scout ship just approached, they saw the dense scout ship of Wei, and they were like wolves that saw their prey, and they swarmed up.

Wu Guo is still maintaining the style of playing with small boats and big boats, and this kind of playing method of small boats piled up together is not commonly used by the generals of Wu State.

You must know that when Tang Zhi was in Wu State, he was a general Zuo, a marquis, and a festival, and he was the most favored Zhang Bu now, and he was far inferior to him in terms of officials, only Ding Feng, Shi Ji, Lu Kai and a few others could compare with him in terms of officials.

In terms of military experience, the few on the other side are only as good as Tang Zhi combined.

After discovering the enemy's thoughts, Tang Zhi immediately changed the original way of marching slowly, and directly let the small boats get closer and then accelerated their advance.

Sure enough, Wei's clippers suddenly appeared, causing chaos in Wu's forward fleet.

Tang Zhi adopted the tactics of harassment and siege, taking advantage of the high mobility of small boats, constantly encircling and suppressing the vanguard fleet of the Wu people, and also tried to directly bypass the building ships, forcing the other party to take the initiative to attack.

A huge water battle broke out on the river not far from Jianye.

Tang Zhi used almost all small boats, and he himself came directly to the front line by speedboat, bows and arrows and crossbows were fired together, and the fast boats kept moving back and forth around the Wu army, and the rain of arrows enveloped the entire vanguard fleet of Wu from all directions.

When the warp approached the other party's ship, the generals of Wu Guo were already hoarse and rushed forward with fast knives.

Tang Zhi kept pestering these warships, so that the other party did not dare to leave easily, and at the same time, his own building ship was slowly approaching.

Water warfare is different from land warfare, and sometimes the two sides can fight for a long, long time, and the situation of the battle is also ever-changing.

Biqiu Jian never commanded from beginning to end, just calmly watched the situation.

At the end of the battle, the generals of the Wu State only fled here on a fast boat, and several building ships were chiseled and destroyed by the Wu people themselves, and they were unwilling to leave them to the Wei people.

Wei Miao, who was outside the water village, looked at the raging fire in the distance and closed his eyes in pain.

A large number of people are constantly coming here, and the soldiers are also busy in a hurry, and they are working on big projects here.

This is the deployment made by Wei Miao and others in order to guard against the enemy, they continue to make iron chains, put them down in dangerous places, and want to use iron chains to cross the Yangtze River, and at the same time make a lot of large iron cones, which are hidden in the river to block the opponent's large building boats.

It can be said that they have completely given up the initiative and are fully guarded, even if I can't get out, they can't let you in!!

The mission of the Vanguard Fleet is to keep the enemy out of the distance and keep them from approaching until these defensive moves are completed.

But now, the vanguard failed miserably, Wei Miao immediately gritted his teeth and looked at Wu Yan on the side.

"General, our preparations in various places have not yet been completed."

"As we thought, there are so many rebel generals and soldiers to help, the enemy's combat power is completely different from the past, not to mention that our main force is not here now, even if all the warships gather, it is not easy to say that we can win the Cao army."

Wu Yan is not from a big family, he is similar to Ding Feng, he was originally just a small school, and he has been fighting all the year round, but he has not made countless contributions like Ding Feng, but he finally has some merits, and finally came out of the middle and lower ranks to become a high-level general.

He gritted his teeth, trembling slightly, and was about to speak, but heard Wei Miao say: "I am going to lead a fleet to stop these people, if they want to bypass me, I will attack their rear, in short, I will not let them rest assured to come here to build and defend the matter, I am afraid that it will be handed over to the general to handle." ”

Hearing Wei Miao's words, Wu Yan suddenly calmed down.

He squeezed his fists a few times and looked at Wei Miao, "General, I am just an old pawn, because of His Majesty's kindness, I have the status I have today, in terms of the ability to march and fight, where can I compare with the general?" ”

"Let me go and meet the enemy, and the general will stay and continue to do it."

Wei Miao looked at him in astonishment, hesitated for a long time, and then nodded, "Okay, the big matter will be entrusted to the general." ”

Wu Yan took a deep breath and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something, stopped, and looked at Wei Miao.

"General, my sons have all died early, and only one grandson is left, if the general can take care of one or two for me"

"Please rest assured, your family, I will support myself!"

Wu Yan bowed to him, and then left here in a hurry.

Soon, Wu Yan led a fleet to set off from here, and when they walked out, they could still see the soldiers on the building ship were busy hiding the huge iron cone in the river, they shouted something, but Wu Yan couldn't hear clearly, he just stared into the distance, his expression was a little dazed.

Soon, the fleet was confronted by the vanguard clippers of Tang Zhi.

When he saw the dense Clippers, Wu Yan couldn't help but scold.

"I'm in his mother's grandson!! I joined his mother's grandson!! ”

Wu Yan almost used what he had learned all his life, he fought a pursuit battle with the enemy on the river, to put it simply, the other party detoured, he also detoured, the other party advanced, he retreated, that is, he did not hit the front, leaving Tang Zhi's clipper directly outside.

Looking at these troops who were aiming at the ships in the rear, Tang Shi didn't dare to attack with all his might like before.

The battle between the two sides suddenly became scorching.

But the problem is that in such a situation, it is almost difficult for Wu Yan to get any relief, his army is so much, fighting day and night, his soldiers are extremely tired, gradually losing their combat effectiveness, the damage of the warship is becoming more and more serious, and there has been a large-scale attrition of the warship.

He was stunned and delayed on the river for half a month, so that Tang Zhi couldn't step out even a single step.

Even Biqiu Jian was surprised and asked who the general who led the team was.

It's just that this kind of perseverance didn't last long, and after twenty-seven days of fierce fighting, there were only three of Wu Yan's warships left, and the sailors completely lost their strength and were surrounded by the Wei people, not to mention fighting, even if they had no strength to escape.

Looking at the soldiers who had reached the extreme, Wu Yan looked at the enemies in the distance again.

He took a deep breath, and then said to the soldiers on the side: "Raise the flag, I am willing to surrender, let them not send arrows again!" ”

Although the soldiers could not understand, but no one persuaded him to fight to the death, the Wu people raised the banner, and the Wei people sent people to receive the prisoners.

Wu Yan was also brought to Tang Shi by the armor soldiers.
