Ma Jian was right, this time he did hit a hard stubble.

At this moment, the 5,000 Dongwu sailors lined up neatly, advancing and retreating in a measured manner, escorting the three building ships with great momentum. The queue of the Han army's sailors was relatively loose, and many soldiers showed fear on their faces.

This is also something that can't be helped, the Soochow Navy is basically all veterans who can fight well. Most of the recruits on Ma Tan's side are new recruits who have just entered the battlefield, and the gap between the two sides is indeed not ordinarily large.

The ships of both sides approached quickly on the river, both ready for battle. When the distance between the two sides was only one stone's throw away, the Eastern Wu naval army took the lead in firing arrows against the Han army.

It is worth mentioning that because of the tall building ships in Soochow, the archers stand high and shoot far. Therefore, in the face of the Eastern Wu naval army, the Han army was almost completely passively beaten, and it was difficult to fight back.

In the first round of arrow rain, many recruits did not have time to dodge, and were directly shot into a sieve. Before the Han army reacted, the second round of arrow rain in Soochow came.

For a time, the arrows of Eastern Wu rained down and shot overwhelmingly towards the Han army. All the Han troops had a look of fear on their faces, and they cowered and did not dare to move forward. But when the soldiers looked at their commander, most of them were stunned.

They saw that in front of the Dongwu naval army, Ma Jian directly took off all his armor. A man stands proudly in the bow of the boat, dressed only in thin clothing.

"The general dodges the arrows!" Left and right shouted to Ma Tan, but Ma Jian didn't care at all. He looked at the various departments as usual, and calmly commanded,

"Calm down, don't mess around! You haven't panicked yet, what are you afraid of? ”

"Look for a shield to cover, the helmsman moves quickly, everyone takes their weapons and prepares to engage in broadside combat!!"

As he spoke, Ma Tan took the initiative to stand on the most conspicuous bow of the ship, regardless of the dissuasion left and right. It's almost time to draw a target on himself to instruct Soochow to release arrows.

However, Ma Tan's death posture did boost the morale of the Han army. Most of the soldiers quickly calmed down, still looking for shields to avoid arrows as they did in the exercise.

Even the coach doesn't change his face, and even has the mood to talk and laugh, so what are we afraid of!

While the Han army quickly took precautions, the second round of arrow rain from Eastern Wu also flew over. And Ma Jian was even more fearless in the face of this rain of arrows, and even looked forward to it.

However, the final result was obvious, Ma Jian stood on the bow of the ship so brightly, and in such a dense rain of arrows, he didn't even touch Ma Tan's hair.

"Is that Xishu's boss a ghost or god to help? Why can't I target him? A Soochow archer couldn't help but complain after performing a human stroke on Ma Jian for the fourth time.

As a ten-year veteran, it was the first time that his archery skills had become like this.

And when Dongwu continued to pour arrows on the Han army, the Han warships also rushed towards the Dongwu formation with full horsepower.

When the ships of both sides approached, the soldiers of Eastern Wu reacted quickly. The vanguard soldier quickly held the hook and rope, hooked the Han army ship when the distance was about the same, and climbed up with the rope. Many soldiers walked on the ground even in the waves, coming and going like the wind.

"Kill!!"

"Kill!!"

"Kill!!"

When the first Eastern Wu soldier climbed aboard the ship, a fierce battle was imminent. The soldiers of both sides quickly fought in one place, and fierce melee broke out in all parts of the ship.

In the midst of the fighting, one body after another fell from the boat and fell into the water. The blood was left from the side of the ship, dripping into the Yangtze River little by little.

As for Ma Tan, he joined the battlefield as soon as the broadside battle broke out. He didn't even wear armor, but fought naked with a double-headed gun.

"Get out of here!"

Ma Tan grabbed the gun that stabbed up from under the side of the ship with one hand, and with a fierce force, he directly threw the Dongwu soldiers away. Then a spear in one hand brazenly jumped onto a Soochow ship.

There were still a few soldiers of Eastern Wu on this ship, and they quickly swarmed up after seeing Ma Jian killed. However, in the hands of Ma Yan, none of them could survive a round before they were knocked to the ground.

In just a few breaths, Ma Jian was the only one left standing on the entire ship.

"The Dongwu Naval Division, which broke through the sky, is this combat power?" Ma Jian looked at the battle, and there was no wound on his body at all, and he couldn't help rolling his eyes.

This combat power is second only to my grandmother, except that it is not good at water.

But in any case, the suppressive power of the Soochow water war is indeed terrifying. Ma Tan watched as the Han army was pressed and beaten from beginning to end, and it was basically Eastern Wu who was launching a strong attack.

If this continues, it is only a matter of time before the Han army is defeated.

"It seems that we have to find a way to break the situation as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late." Ma Tan casually stabbed back a Dongwu soldier who had climbed onto the boat and tried to resist, squinting his eyes. Soon, his eyes locked on the three ships in the Dongwu formation, which were still firing arrows to suppress the Han army!

The building boat is a good thing, but it is a big killer in the Yangtze River water war. In addition to the stability of its ship, the more important thing is that this thing is really high!

Many of its small cities along the Yangtze River are still tall, and they can take advantage of them at any time.

Of course, this thing is also very difficult to build, and Guan Xing has not built a single one in Yongan for half a year.

Therefore, Ma Tan's eyes were locked on these three ships at the moment.

If one of them can be destroyed, or even a building ship captured, it will definitely have a great impact on the situation of the war.

The main thing is that that there is the center of the Soochow naval army, and there are enemies everywhere. And now that he doesn't even wear armor, how can he be immortal when he rushes forward?

That's it!

As soon as Ma Tan thought of this, he immediately called several of his personal guards, and held the small boat of Dongwu and rushed straight to the formation of the Dongwu naval army.

At this time, all the ships in the Soochow array were all in full array, and there were Soochow soldiers everywhere. And Ma Tan held the boat and came straight towards the formation of Soochow, not at all worried that Soochow would find him.

But what made Ma Tan stunned was that Dongwu really didn't notice him. It wasn't until he was about to connect with the outer ships that he finally discovered him by the Eastern Wu soldiers.

"It's the Shu army! They are not allies! ”

"The Shu army has been killed? What's the situation? ”

"Stop them!"

However, at this moment, it was obviously too late, and Ma Jian easily jumped onto Soochow's ship. On the swaying ship, Ma Jian walked on the ground, like chopping melons and vegetables, and quickly killed all the Eastern Wu soldiers on the ship.

Even those who were lucky enough not to die at the hands of Ma Tan threw down their weapons and swam away.

grabbed a ship from Soochow again, and Ma Jian personally supported the boat and went straight to the formation of Soochow. There were sparks and lightning all the way, and before the Dongwu side could do anything to stop it, Ma Jian quickly leaned to the side of a building ship.

"Dongwu Xiao'er, your eldest father Ma Youchang is back!"
