A water bird, taking advantage of the rainy season, stood leisurely on a awning.
The boatman on the awning, letting the boat sail freely, was preparing to put a freshly caught river fish into the earthen pot.
As soon as the fire fold was pinched out, the old man suddenly turned back with a look of horror on his face.
The waterfowl screamed and flew away in haste.
After losing the fish, the old boatman hurriedly grabbed the bamboo shoots and was just about to push the river boat away——
A dense wave of flying arrows came, and the old boatman rolled into the river, causing a bloody flower to bloom on the river surface.
"Anyone blocking the ship will be treated as an enemy spy!"
Dozens of warships formed an formation, riding the wind and waves, roaring all the way to the west. A Muyunzhou general on the ship raised a long sword and shouted angrily.
Woo, woo--
The sound of horn trombones resounded on both sides of the Xiangjiang River from time to time.
"Marquis Dingnan of Mu Yun Prefecture, in accordance with the imperial edict to suppress rebellion, led a million soldiers and ten thousand warships to enter Sichuan to kill the Xu thieves! Anyone who stands in his way will be killed on the spot!"
No one dared to stop him, even the most arrogant osprey hurriedly sank into the river.
…
"General Xu, Fushan is in front of us. Li Zhiqiu has already led his troops to form an array. In addition, our three thousand navy troops, led by Wen, are also preparing to enter the river for a fierce battle."
The general who spoke paused, then added hesitantly, "I'm afraid... I can't stop it."
Xu Mu froze and did not answer. The three shield ships did not immediately join the battlefield. He wanted to find a suitable time.
"How's the situation with Fu Gong on the shore?"
"The army led by Fan Lu is ambushing in the swamp forest near Fushan. Wei Feng is also waiting outside the forest of Fushan with his Qingqi."
Xu Mu exhaled, this is almost all his wealth. Plus Li Zhiqiu's side, 40,000 against more than 200,000, is already a big disadvantage, plus there are no warships...
"Where's the military advisor?"
"I sent people here earlier, and five hundred water ghosts have already gone into hibernation. General Xu, when will we leave?"
"The time has not come yet."
The river in Fushan is long and narrow. Although it is easy to ambush, if the three shield ships rushed in so hastily, they would definitely be blocked on the outside.
"The brothers on the boat are all gathered around Gan Gourd, right?" Xu Mu frowned.
"Don't worry, General Xu, we are all surrounded."
There were not enough dried gourds, but some were surrounded by wooden gourds.
Compared to Muyun Prefecture, even the soldiers' good ships are far inferior to Muyun Prefecture's navy.
But this time, what Xu Mu was going to fight was not a formal water battle.
"Brother Mu, what are you doing now?" Si Hu waited for General Bi to leave before he said in a depressed voice, "Brother Mu, you know that I am a hero who wants to rush into the enemy's formation and kill them."
"Don't worry, there will be this opportunity."
Jia Zhou's half plan, plus his half plan, just combined into one, setting up a deadly killing situation.
"Rocks pierced through the sky, stormy waves crashed on the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. The country was picturesque, and there were so many heroes..."
"Brother Mu, what are you thinking about?"
"Si Hu, you don't understand."
"Then I'll go eat steamed buns."
Xu Mu took a few steps forward and looked silently at the river view outside along the four crossbow windows. The position of the crossbow head was just enough to allow it to rotate, enough to change parallel directions.
This should be Chen Tie's best gift.
As for the fire-breathing oil tank, Xu Mu didn't want to use it unless an enemy ship was approaching. If he were not careful, it would most likely set his own ship on fire.
The real killing spree belongs to the five hundred water ghosts.
"My boss, it's still the east wind." Gongou approached and spoke in a solemn voice.
It is normal for the east wind to blow up in spring. At least, there is no need to go to great lengths to borrow an east wind like Zhuge Wuhou did.
"Longbow, continue to climb higher and take a look. If you see a signal, report back immediately."
Gongou nodded and walked forward hastily.
…
"Commander, sit down for a moment."
Several guards found tree stumps and placed them behind Jia Zhou.
"Thank you."
Jia Zhou took a breath and sat down with difficulty, leaning on his wooden stick.
This is the commanding heights of Fushan, enough for him to visually observe the entire battle situation.
"The signal arrow is available."
"Don't worry, military advisor."
Jia Zhou nodded and his figure became slightly upright. Most of the time, he was a calm person. He taught calmly and waited on his wife who was lying on the bed calmly.
Until his wife died and after she was buried, he lit the house on fire and went to the world. Thinking back to those days, he taught people tirelessly, but in the end, he could not overcome the filthiness of the world.
"Military advisor, we have seen the warships of Mu Yunzhou!" A scout hurriedly rode to report.
Jia Zhou sat steadily.
"military adviser?"
"Don't panic."
…
The dozens of warships riding the waves were probably going faster. Suddenly, two or three of them knocked over the ship.
"Hidden Jiang Suo!" A general from Muyun Prefecture said angrily, "This common man from Shu Prefecture can only use these useless methods!"
"Ship, clear the way first!"
Compared with ordinary warships, the impact of the stern was much more fierce. In a short time, sections of iron cables across the river were driven to the bottom of the river.
Chen Changqing stood on the boat with a funny look on his face.
"Look, military advisor, this is Thief Xu's method. Even if it is a cross-river cable, it will be useless."
"I wish you a great victory. However, you still need to be careful."
"What?"
"It's still an east wind, and the wind is strong. Be careful of Thief Xu who will use fire to attack. Otherwise, if the fire takes advantage of the wind, something may happen to us." Hu Baisong said seriously.
"Haha, don't worry, military advisor. I have thousands of river boats, all of which have water distances. Even if they use fire, he can't burn them."
"It couldn't be better." Hu Baisong cupped his hands. Then, he turned to look at an accompanying general.
"Tell me, where is ahead?"
"Back to the military advisor, this place is called Fushan, and nearby is a wasteland and swamp."
"Fushan?" Hu Baisong frowned, "I don't understand why Thief Xu chose this place."
"Military advisor, the river is probably narrow and suitable for ambushes." Chen Changqing said calmly.
"Master Marquis, with this kind of terrain, there is no way to hide a boat nearby."
"So what if you can hide it, so what if you can't hide it. I heard that there are only 200 rotten ships. I want to ask the military advisor, how can he stop them?"
"I can't stop it." Hu Baisong nodded.
"However, the Marquis still has to pay attention to the enemy ships and be careful of Xu Thief's use of fire boats. I suddenly remembered that Xu Thief's military advisor was really stupid. He didn't even have a place to hide the ship. What was he going to do?
A surprising plan."
"There is nothing we can do." Chen Changqing smiled and shook his head, "This time Thief Xu will turn into a ghost on the river."
"However, even if he dies and sinks into the river, I will crush his bones and raise his ashes."
Raising his hand, Chen Changqing reached for his blind eye. When he becomes emperor in the future, he will probably be criticized for his one eye.
Damn it.
In the future, anyone who dares to falsely claim that he is the one-eyed emperor will immediately have the nine tribes killed.
"Beat the war drum!" Chen Changqing was in high spirits.
"Sail the boat quickly and smash Xu Thief's water formation——"
The howling east wind blew up the sails of the ships, and thousands of mighty river ships were like arrows leaving their strings, riding the wind and waves in the blink of an eye.
