Chapter 309: The grass and trees are green, and the armor crosses the river
Yangzhou has the Jing River running through, and the southern end is near the sea, with rich water systems and extremely high strategic significance. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Therefore, since ancient times, the formation and training of the naval army have been quite emphasized, and the combat power of the naval army is second to none in the Xia Yu Dynasty.
In front of him, the three military ships lined up on the river were clearly one of the elite branches of the Yangzhou Navy Army, which should have been guarded in the border waters, but now they appeared on this river, obviously because they had already taken precautions to prevent Chen Sanlang and his party from escaping from the waterway.
This section of water is gentle, the area is wide, and the wind direction has little effect, and the outcome depends on the balance of power between the two sides.
It's just that judging from the books, Chen Sanlang's side is obviously weak, and it is more difficult to defeat the other party than to ascend to the sky.
Zhou Hezhi's face already showed a look of panic.
On the other hand, on the other side, the ratio of women and children is much larger, and the hundreds of young and strong people are also newly trained, and they have not experienced water warfare training.
Zhou Hezhi swallowed his saliva vigorously, glanced at Chen Sanlang from the side, and saw that his expression was calm, as if he had expected to be intercepted by the navy. Seeing him like this, Zhou Hezhi inexplicably felt that things might not be as bad as he imagined, or that he really had a chance to escape.
In fact, in the choice of leaving or staying, Zhou Hezhi has experienced an ideological struggle. However, after all, he also has knowledge, and knows that if he follows away, he may suffer a lot of torture, but if he stays, he is afraid that he will not have a good life, and he will immediately become a prisoner.
Thinking about it, I should still follow Chen Sanlang and leave.
Zhou Fencao also looked at Chen Sanlang, he was a good hand in power, but when the two sides were facing each other, and when the soldiers and armor were exchanged, he was also at a loss, and he didn't know how to deal with it. He was just a civilian official, and even though he was familiar with military books, he was limited to talking about soldiers on paper and had never practiced it.
Besides, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and she has no soldiers under her command, so even if she wants to arrange troops, she has no way.
It can be seen from this that Chen Sanlang's subordinates are really lacking a general who can lead the troops.
Chen Sanlang touched his chin and said suddenly: "Just now I said 'the forest and grass are green, cross the river with a sword', I thought about it, or change it to the word 'A' is more appropriate, Divide Cao Gong, what do you think?"
Zhou Fencao almost stumbled and was about to fall to the ground: My Lord Chen, when is it all right, and you are still engaged in "scrutiny"?
Woooooo
The sound of the horn was endless, and the three military ships kept approaching, and it seemed that they were going to rush over completely unreasonably and directly smash the ship on Chen Sanlang's side. The structure of the warship is very strong, and the bow of the ship is also cast with a banging head, or a turtle head, or a snake shape, all made of heavy iron, weighing a thousand catties, and it will definitely be crushed to pieces when it is hit like this.
When the boat is smashed, people have no attachment, fall into the water, the Jing River is magnificent, where is there still life?
Seeing that the military ship was menacing, Zhou Fencao couldn't help but be a little anxious, and said, "Childe, why don't we avoid it?"
The river is wide, and it is still possible to let the helmsman steer and get out of the way, but then the opportunity is completely lost, and there are eight ships on his side, and even if the ships in front avoid it, the ones behind will still suffer, and the losses will also be heavy.
Chen Sanlang was unmoved and replied: "Don't worry, they can't rush over." ”
Zhou Fencao wondered in his heart, he really didn't know where the confidence of the son was, everyone was on the boat, no one was going to stop it, wouldn't the boat be stunned?
Hey, no, someone is catching up!
All of a sudden, he saw two small boats rowing out below, quite fast, like two flying fish, stirring up countless waves. There was a man on each side of the dinghy, and the oars in his hands were like tumbling windmill leaves, stirring up the waves of the water.
Look at it really, it's not the two companions who usually accompany Chen Sanlang, Dang Crab and Yu Xiongping.
These two people are highly skilled, perverse, and often elusive, Zhou Fencao is very suspicious that they are some green forest thieves, and somehow they were caught by Chen Sanlang to serve. However, the current enemy is huge, and with just two, can you stop it?
Soon, the Yuan family navy also discovered them, and a general immediately ordered, and rows of archers rushed out of the deck, and the arrows rained down on the two of them.
"Oops!"
Zhou He and the others were so worried that they couldn't help but shout. With so many arrows, you can't be shot into a hedgehog.
Thump!
Sure enough, seeing the arrows, Crab and Xiongping abandoned the dinghy almost at the same time and turned over and fell into the water.
Although they are considered to be cultivated aquatic monsters, with thick skin and hard flesh, they don't dare to shake these arrow feathers. You must know that the bow and crossbow in the army are unusual, the lethality and penetration are extremely terrifying, and at a short distance, any arrow can penetrate thick armor.
Maybe being shot in the body with one arrow won't cause fatal damage, but what about ten arrows, what about a hundred arrows?
"Hey!"
Seeing this, Zhou Fencao and the others sighed. Relying on two people to destroy each other's ships is really not so easy to do. Frustrated for a while, but what is good?
Everyone was worried that the crab and Xiongping would not be shot to death in the water, so they looked over one after another, and when they saw that after this wave of arrows had passed, the two people surfaced, wearing armor on their bodies, biting weapons in their hands, and swimming as if they were being rowed faster than a boat, and quickly approached the other party's boat.
"Shoot!"
With an order, another wave of arrows fell. However, the crab and the two were so agile that they plunged into the water and dived deep to dodge. When those arrow feathers entered the water, they were all dissipated, but Zhang Yushen lost his strength and was swept away by the current.
Then Crab and Yuxionghei came out again, unharmed.
In fact, they could have sneaked over and deliberately did this, as if they were provocative.
On the Yuan family's naval ship, the general in charge of the command saw this, his expression was gloomy, and seeing that the two of them were already quite close to the ship, and it was difficult for the arrow feather to play a role, he immediately waved his hand: "Ghost in the water!"
Plop plop!
Like dumplings, one by one the sailors wearing special armor jumped off the boat.
These soldiers, commonly known as "water ghosts", are very good at swimming, are accustomed to fighting in the water, hold their breath, and can move half a pillar of incense in the water for a long time, which cannot be done without thousands of choices. They themselves basically belong to martial arts masters, and they can only do so by practicing one breath inside.
The number of such talents is not much, and the entire Yangzhou Water Department is only 500 people. Now, there are about ten people who jump down to fight.
Ten people, divided into two groups, five to one, have an overwhelming numerical advantage.
The people on Chen Sanlang's side saw it, and they couldn't help but sweat.
The battle in the water is difficult to observe clearly, but when I saw the waves rolling and the water flowing, soon, a red color was stained.
It's blood, someone was injured or killed outright. In just a moment, the blood became more and more, and in an instant, all the water in that area was dyed red. Soon, however, the blood was washed away, thinned, and eventually invisible.
Immediately there were corpses floating, one, two, three......
Before everyone could count them, they saw that the crab and Xiongping were unabated, and they had already pounced under the opponent's boat.
"Good!"
The cheers and applause were mixed, and Zhou Hezhi almost jumped up, so happy that he seemed to have sunk the other party's boat...... (To be continued.) )
