Chapter VII: The Four Laws of Water Warfare

More than 100 warships from Nanjun came in the wind and waves, approaching Lingfeiyun Water Village for a hundred miles before slowly lowering the sails and dragging the anchor, and began to form a queue. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There are only four methods of water warfare, the superior method is called a long-range attack, destroying the enemy's ship and protecting oneself; the method of the middle vehicle is called the fire welcome, which is originally the superior method, but the climate and wind on the river are changeable, and the method of fire and welcome is inevitably self-destructive, so the water warfare strategy is classified as the middle one; the inferior method is called the collision, and the enemy and our ship are completely destroyed; the inferior method is the method of sword soldiers, and the soldiers on board the ship fight hard.

Ling Feiyun saw that there were only more than 100 Nanjun warships on the opposite side, and the leading ten were equipped with giant steel cones, but they were just inferior methods to use to collide, with more than 50,000 people in ten columns and ten rows, a grim smile appeared on the corner of Ling Feiyun's mouth, and he thought to himself: "I knew that Huang Yan was just a nameless general, and he would only copy the brute method of military strategy, but unfortunately this time these 50,000 lives were lost." ”

After a cannon sounded, ten warships rushed out first, followed by dozens of warships that gradually spread out and expanded, taking advantage of the surging wind.

Ling Feiyun stood on the bow of the ship, waving the blood-colored red order flag in his hand, crossing left and right up and down, the flag was not finished, and more than 100 warships behind him had already been drawn, flickering left and right, flickering forward and backward in an orderly manner, these behemoths were like a spirit rhino, chaotic but with some kind of traction-like orderly movement. The first sixteen warships were fan-shaped, and each warship was stretched out of a distance of one mile between the sides, and the left and right sides of the ships were hung with three-foot-thick iron chains, showing a half-arc iron barrel encirclement.

The general of Nanjun is also a veteran general, how not to know this formation, this formation is the Jiangshang Dragon Formation, please enter the urn and gradually encircle and disintegrate the enemy soldiers. But there is nothing to be done, but the net pocket is a cone, to break the net out, and now the wind is to the southeast just to take advantage of the situation.

Seeing that the giant cone of the warship was menacing in the southeast wind, Ling Feiyun was not flustered, and waved the flag in his hand again, the formation remained unchanged, and the dragon rope array advanced against the wind, and the boatman under the deck of the warship struggled to row the giant oars in his hand, and the iron cable warship did not retreat from the sharp giant cone. It's just that after sixteen iron chain warships, I don't know when there are ten more warships moving slowly, hundreds of soldiers on the bow of the ship are moving densely, one person is holding a hundred catties of oval stones, and two people are holding two or three hundred catties of oval boulders, which are originally filled with catapults on the bow, although the power of long-range stone throwing is not huge, but it is the best strategy to break the enemy and protect themselves. Ling Feiyun was the first to anticipate the enemy this time, or it could be said that he was a head starter.

The steel cone giant ship was originally fierce in the wind, but under the impact of this projected boulder rain, the momentum slowed down by a point in an instant. Those who could not escape the soldiers on the ship vomited blood and died, and the soldiers who were originally holding spears in a neat array looked for a place to hide, and they were in chaos for a while. After the side of the warship was hit by this falling boulder, it immediately turned into a large hole, the deck was still harder, and the most fatal moment on the side of the ship was the lake bubbling into the bottom compartment below the deck, and the boatmen who rowed in the bottom compartment had to flee to the deck to survive. For a time, two steel cone warships were drowned. The remaining eight ships were also smashed to pieces, and after the mast was broken, the ships were three points slower. Nanjun's entire one-word long knife array was smashed to pieces in an instant, almost crumbling.

Ling Feiyun, who was standing on the crest of the waves, could no longer hold back the happiness in his heart, he never expected the enemy army to be so vulnerable, and hurriedly waved the command flag in his hand to launch the final general attack. As soon as the flag fell, the iron cable warships in the front line put away the iron ropes one after another, and the catapult warships in the second row also lowered the catapults with high support, and more than 100 warships moved forward against the wind, intending to break the huge steel cone ship that was trembling in the wind in one go.

Ling Feiyun looked up and saw that it was almost noon, and the wind vane next to the mast was slowly weakening, and he was thinking to himself: "It's time to come!"

The Beijun warships, which were originally rushing against the wind, borrowed the wind at this moment, and they were like arrows off the string, and they were even more unstoppable, especially the ten fast boats that rushed out early, which were as unstoppable as meteors falling to the ground, and went straight to the Nanjun battle array. The fast boat was full of sulfur saltpeter, and a fast boat carried two good swimming soldiers, and when it approached the enemy ship battalion, it ignited the fast boat, abandoned the boat and jumped into the lake, burning the enemy boat! Ling Feiyun was so powerful that the two armies fought for only an hour, and he even arranged troops and boats to use the three methods of water warfare, and he was indeed a rare water war general, and it is no wonder that this saying of "high rollers on the river and four heroes of Dongting" is not surprising.

Suddenly, the fast boat was already full of flames and rushed into the formation of dozens of warships in Nanjun, and in an instant the flames were monstrous, and the surface of the ten-mile lake was like a brazier, the tongue of fire was spitting out, the smoke was billowing, and the sound of wailing resounded across the river. Looking at the soldiers who were attached to the tongue of fire on the boat and rolling around, Ling Feiyun couldn't bear it in his heart, and his tiger eyes were slightly moist, as if he was muttering to himself and as if he was praying: "One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, although it has contributed to the society, it has also damaged the yin virtue." ”

The northwest wind has gradually faded away, and the fire on the lake has gradually been extinguished, but the billowing smoke is still lingering on the river. When Ling Feiyun was grieving, he wanted to fire the cannon and withdraw his troops. Suddenly, on the far river, the sound of shouting and killing rose again, the sails that covered the sky and the sun came one after another, the sound of thousands of wood pulp paddling was stirring and rolling, and hundreds of Nanjun warships actually rushed in three directions. In the middle of the road, a huge four-story warship was at the head of the row, and a huge and dazzling "yellow" word was written on the red sail. On the left road, a red flag was hung on the mast of a three-story warship, with the inscription: "Zhou". On the right road, there were no battle flags and no leading warships, and they came in unison.

These hundreds of warships and three armies came together, not to mention 100,000 people. Ling Feiyun only had a bad mind at the moment, but he had already hit the plan, Huang Yan and Zhou Ming attacked the water village together, no wonder the previous naval warships were so vulnerable and were bait, and after thinking about it, as the general expected, the enemy army led the crowd to come and not stop the defenders of Beijun three times. Ling Feiyun did not panic in the slightest, and decisively fired his artillery to withdraw his troops. At this moment, it is only more than 30 miles to rush out of the Shuizhai camp, as long as you return to the camp and defend for half a day, the Xiangyang defenders will rush to help, and it will not be too late to fight with the Nanjun Navy at that time.

Dozens of warships, the height, length, and width are all more than ten zhang, it is not easy to turn around and leave in an instant, Ling Feiyun is not allowed to think about it, but the hundreds of warships of the Nanjun Three-way Navy are breaking the waves. Not long after, Ling Feiyun's dozens of warships had already turned their bows and went straight to the Shuizhai camp and returned. On the battlefield, the fighter plane is changing rapidly, the work of tea, Ling Feiyun, who was still mourning the ruthlessness of the battlefield, was extremely angry in his heart at the moment, he should have really killed them all before, and the pigs and dogs in Nanjun should have killed them all.
