Outside the Xiakou Water Village, there were a lot of warships cruising back and forth on the river after a while.

"General Huo, do you want to shoot arrows at the enemy?"

Seeing this, the subordinate general quickly rushed over and asked for his life.

Huo Yi, who had been staring at the Ning River for a long time, waved his hand and shook his head and said, "Let the soldiers not release arrows, and be patient." ”

"Don't let go of the arrows? What if the Wu army takes the opportunity to attack? ”

Listen, this will respond with a little worry.

"These small boats were just sent by Wu soldiers in advance to test our garrison deployment, and they will not attack."

"Attack with a walker, that's to send people's heads."

Huo Yi had a very confident look on his face, and responded quite easily.

With an order, all the Jingzhou soldiers guarding in the village put away their bows and crossbows, and they were waiting for each other to watch the river quietly.

Just two quarters of an hour quickly passed, and as Huo Yi expected, the small boats of the Wu people cruising around the water village were wandering on the river without the slightest offensive posture.

When the military information reached a Mong fighting ship behind, Jiang Qin asked with a solemn expression, "How is the situation ahead?" Can you find out the reality in the water village? ”

"Qi General Jiang, the enemy army does not fight back, only sticks to the water village."

The spies quickly revealed the situation on the periphery of the cruise.

As soon as these words fell, Jiang Qin's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Huo Yigao, the commander of the defense of the water camp, and sighed: "Before sending out the troops, General Lu told him to be cautious in fighting with the Jingzhou soldiers. ”

"Enemy general Huo Yi is not an idle person!"

"Judging from this, this person is indeed quite good at using soldiers......

After that, his expression unconsciously fell into a few dignified colors.

He first arranged for the boats to be scattered on the periphery of the water village, the purpose of which was to lure the enemy army to attack and take the opportunity to reconnoiter the strength of the garrison, and then formulate a corresponding attack plan.

"Order all the ships to press up and surround the water village, and you quickly turn back to the back to tell Youping and inform the military situation here."

"Whoa."

Jiang Qin is also a good general in water warfare, and he quickly waved his hand and ordered.

When Zhou Tai heard the news, Huo Yi made up his mind to stick to the water camp and not go out of the camp to start a water battle, so he did not hesitate to order all warships to slowly advance along the outside of the water village.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin led more than 1,000 large and small warships, and nearly 8,000 people were fan-shaped ships in the front, facing off against Xiakou Water Village.

The entire river seemed to be covered by warships, and there were countless ships.

Subsequently, Zhou Tai condescended on a building ship named "Feiyun", and almost knew the strength of the enemy camp and the distribution of each warship.

"Ling Gongyi took Mong as the forerunner, walked around the surroundings, and advanced to the riverbank."

Half-groaning, Zhou Tai looked serious and shouted loudly.

"Yes,"

When the military order was laid, the flag bearer waved it on the main ship and gave the order to the ships with flags.

At the sound of an order, Jiang Qin immediately drew his sword and came out, "Attack the enemy village." ”

"Whoa."

The troops slowly supported the Mong fighting ships, covered the surrounding soldiers, and launched an attack towards the shore.

In the stockade, Huo Yi, who had a rather dignified face, seemed to be quietly estimating the distance between the two sides, and when he saw that the enemy ship was only about a few dozen steps away from the shore of the river, he shouted:

"Crossbowmen ready,"

"Launch!"

After a while, the shouts fell, and I saw that the Jingzhou soldiers in the water village pulled up the horn bows in their palms and shot sharp arrows one after another.

"Huhu~"

The arrows covered the sky like a black rain curtain and shot at the enemy ships.

The sound of feather arrows was mixed with the whirring river wind, and the momentum was strong and heavy.

Because Xiakou Water Village is located on the south bank, due to the northwest wind direction, the Jingzhou soldiers rained arrows into the enemy ships but did not have so much power.

After a round of arrow rain, the soldiers on all the armies of the Wu army all looked for cover to avoid the flying arrows, and the losses were not large.

However, due to the lack of protection, many Wu soldiers fell into the water and died.

Immediately after, the Wu army was not to be outdone, and the crossbowmen on the ship also opened their bows and arrows to shoot back one after another.

A rain of arrows shot into the water village, and Huo Yi shouted with a serious expression, "All departments avoid arrows." ”

As the rain of arrows from both sides shot at each other, the arrows seemed to be intertwined into a dense net in the air.

Although the Wu army attacked from the north and occupied a tailwind trend, and the range and impact power of the feather arrows were greatly improved, the Jingzhou army relied on the protection of the water village.

The collision between the two sides in the rain of arrows was also quite a fight.

And the Wu warships were also slowly advancing in the feather arrows.

After a while, I saw the Wu people approaching along the coast.

The extremely fast boat approached the river bank first, and the Wu soldiers on the ship landed one after another and began to assemble with round shields, and the ring head knife launched a charge into the water village.

Huo Yi's eyes continued to scan the battle situation around him at this time, and he quickly noticed the steady stream of Wu soldiers who landed on the shore, and then ordered in a loud voice:

"The sword and shield hands obeyed the order, formed a formation to kill, and expelled the Wu people."

"Don't let the thieves get close to the water village."

As soon as the order was spitted out, the sword and shield men under his command who had already been ready next moment lined up with sharp blades and round shields to kill.

Soon, the soldiers on both sides met in a narrow way and fought.

Fearing that they would injure their own soldiers by mistake, both sides tacitly stopped shooting arrows at this time.

On the riverbank, a fierce hand-to-hand battle began.

The soldiers on both sides fought bravely with their own sharp blades, and in the shadow of the sword and sword, someone fell from time to time, and the blood gradually stained the river bank red.

Huo Yi and Jiang Qin on the ship both looked very solemnly at this time looking at the fight on the shore, and each sent additional troops to help fight for the shore.

I saw that the high voice of their command also echoed on the battlefield, inspiring the soldiers to move forward bravely.

Not long after, I saw floating corpses rolling on the shore, extremely bloody.

The soldiers of Jingzhou were originally trained by the former general Guan Yu, so they were not only strong in water battles, but also not inferior in foot combat.

After all, he was able to face the Cao soldiers in the north without falling behind, and even suppressed Cao Ren's subordinates for a time and did not dare to go out of the city to fight in the field.

I saw that I had just fought for a long time, and I saw that the soldiers of Jingzhou seemed to be getting braver and braver, and their momentum was overwhelming.

On the contrary, the Wu soldiers gradually exposed the drawbacks of foot combat.

In the fight, it gradually fell behind.

Even though the Wu people were still landing on the shore to support, there was no possibility of seizing the beach.

At this time, Zhou Tai also commanded the main ship of the Lou ship to approach the outer waters and join Jiang Qin.

"Gongyi, the enemy's phalanx of infantry is far tighter than our army, and it is difficult for our army to seize the beach."

"It's hard to get down to Xiakou Water Village!"

At this time, Zhou Tai, who has always been quite brave and unbearable, couldn't help but have a little melancholy on his face, and sighed.

"Jingzhou's infantry battle is indeed good, but it is the enemy general Huo Yi who is more difficult to deal with."

"This kid is quite clever in using troops, if our army does not land on the shore, it will be defended with bows and crossbows, and once it lands, it will quickly send the sword and shield soldiers who have been waiting in formation to kill and defend the shore!"

Jiang Qin's expression was solemn, and his eyebrows furrowed in response.

"Yes, no wonder General Lu asked us not to despise this kid, it's really tricky!"

"Youping, let Qin personally go first, for the sake of today, only in this way may it be possible to seize the shore beach and then enter the water village."

After a moment of silence, Zhou Tai showed very solemn eyes, stared closely at Jiang Qin, who was asking for battle, and said loudly:

"Okay,"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder and advised: "Gongyi, be sure to pay attention to safety." ”

"Youping rest assured."
