Tong Du stood on the building boat, with his tiger-shaped cloak flying and the sound of golden leather clanking, which was quite high-spirited.
"So what if we have avoided the fire boat! I, the Cangzhou navy, am the best in the world! Thirteen large ships are ready to go! My sons, follow me, Tong Du, to defeat the Shu army!"
The Cangzhou navy formed an arc-moon formation. On top of the swaying hull, groups of Cangzhou river bows faced the blowing river wind, raising their iron bows and preparing for battle.
On the fire crossbow boat hidden in the group of ships, many crossbowmen began to wrap fire oil cloth on the crossbow arrowheads, preparing to shoot flatly.
"Thieves in common clothes, you are attacking me, Mu Yunzhou! Please enter the jar and die!"
Tong Du drew out his long sword, faced the river wind, and pointed in the direction from which the Shuzhou navy was charging.
"We are the righteous soldiers of the country. We serve the imperial court and kill the rebels. It is our duty to do so!"
…
Xu Mu's eyes were cold. In front of him, he could vaguely make out the dark mass of the Cangzhou Navy, which was waiting in full formation.
Throughout the ages, city defense battles and water battles have been the most brutal battles. Taking water battles as an example, if you get into a fierce battle, you will inevitably be unable to escape the fate of being on the side of the ship. Both sides will fight to the death until the ship is destroyed and everyone is killed.
"My lord, the wind is strong and unavoidable. We and the Cangzhou navy have no choice but to fight on this river." Dongfang Jing said in a deep voice.
"Of course I know."
After clenching his fist, Xu Mu touched the hilt of the sword and pulled out the long sword with a clang.
If he remembers correctly, this long sword was given to him by an old official before the fall of Wangzhou.
The old official said that if there was peace in the world, he would return it to Wangzhou Guanfang's weapons storehouse.
But when will there be peace in this world?
The dead people still have residual heat in their blood. But the living people, those who work hard to live, must follow the will of their ancestors and create a peaceful world.
"I would like to ask the world, have you ever heard of the aspirations of the people of Shu? Wearing strong armor and armed with sharp weapons, they are like soldiers from heaven descending to earth. They are so brave that they cannot be matched!"
"Everyone, please follow me and kill the pigs and dogs in Cangzhou!"
Wei Xiaowu stood on the high platform of the building, wearing bright armor, roaring and waving the Xu flag.
The Xu flag flutters in the wind.
Behind, to the left and to the left, there were the sounds of Shu soldiers roaring.
Under the drum sails, 40,000 Shuzhou navy, with the shield boat as the lead, roared towards the Cangzhou navy in front.
"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win." Dongfang looked forward with admiration and his tone was extremely calm.
…
"Fight--"
Tong Du gritted his teeth and pointed his sword forward.
The sky was full of flying arrows and fire crossbows, covering the sky and the moon, shooting at the rushing Shuzhou Navy.
The first shield ship to rush to the front line was not repelled by the flying arrows due to the iron cover, and even the sparks of the fire crossbows did not hit even a single spark.
"Raise your shield——"
On the Shuzhou warships one after another, the various generals and captains ordered their headquarters to raise their shields to block the incoming arrows.
The Shuzhou archer with his bow on his back, under the cover of his shield, also pulled out his bowstring and threw a volley of flying arrows into the arc-moon formation of the Cangzhou Navy.
As you came and I walked, the whole sky seemed to darken all of a sudden.
Soldiers on both sides were hit by arrows, and the sound of "plop" and "plop" falling into the water could be heard one after another.
boom.
The first shield boat faced several Cangzhou battleships rushing towards it, causing water to splash on the river. The huge plow of the shield boat, like a sharp sword, stabbed a Cangzhou battleship in front of it, causing the ship to break and sink into the river.
.
"Starting stick!"
Kaka.
On both sides of the shield ship's hull, two huge poles were pulled up at once. When more than ten soldiers let go, the poles smashed down hard, with a force as strong as a collapsing mountain, knocking down the other Cangzhou Dou on the side.
The ship was smashed so hard that it capsized, and more than a dozen Cangzhou boatmen jumped into the river in shock.
But before he could swim far, densely packed flying arrows fell down and turned into pools of blood.
"Go on, stop the Shuzhou navy for me!"
Tong Du was shocked and furious, and kept giving orders.
It's a pity that the fire boat plan didn't work, otherwise, where would the Shu people have the confidence?
Shuzhou's navy rushed closer and closer, and under the cover of the shield ship's front formation, they began to enter Cangzhou's Arc Moon Formation.
A Shuzhou warship caught fire, and the captain and soldiers on the ship were unable to escape. Even if they fell into the water, they could not escape the fate of being killed by arrows.
Under the eyes, there are more and more floating corpses on both sides of the river. The smell of blood in the entire river section makes people's noses sore.
"Push the heavy crossbow and shoot these Cangzhou dogs to death!"
There were not many heavy crossbows made by Chen Datie and his men. There were more than 40,000 naval troops, but they were extremely powerful. The huge crossbow bolts penetrated, and if they shot accurately, they would quickly
Then an enemy ship swayed, entered the water, and then slowly sank into the river.
"Damn it, hurry up, use the hook to resist, and engage in a boarding battle with the Shu people!"
Tong Du's orders were issued at all levels. One by one, the Cangzhou warships, and the arc-moon formation became more and more chaotic. Whether they were stern warships or large-scale warships, they all rushed forward.
With the madness of many Cangzhou soldiers, a long hook kept getting stuck on the hull of the Shu ship, and they pulled it forward with all their strength. As soon as they got closer, they immediately set up on the pontoon bridge, raised their swords and shields and stepped on it.
He walked to the pontoon bridge and killed them.
"The advantage lies with our army." Dongfang Jing stared ahead, "The enemy uses hooks, but the lord can use them to resist."
The hook can be used to hook or hold a hook. It is generally used to hook a ship, but it can also be stuck in position and push away enemy ships.
What Dongfang Jing said is not wrong. In terms of bow fighting nowadays, with heavy crossbows, the advantage is not even the slightest.
"push--"
Following the roar of a Shuzhou general, he quickly pushed away the approaching enemy ship with a long hook.
Before the other side could charge forward again, the serial crossbowmen on the Shu ship fired waves of crossbow bolts through the gap between the shields.
The Cangzhou soldiers who fell into the river screamed in terror. But before they could shout a few words, the crossbow bolts pierced their bodies and heads and sank into the river.
"Common thief, you are like a rat in a warehouse, scared out of your wits!" Tong Du cursed several times in succession, but Tong Du still did not forgive his hatred.
He claimed to be proficient in water warfare, but now, he was blocked by his opponent.
"General, our army has suffered heavy losses!" General Youbi ran over, his face full of anxiety.
In fact, Tong Du could see it clearly without the need for Admiral Bi to announce it. The Shuzhou navy, which did not want to engage in a side battle with him, relied on long-range shots to kill more and more bravely.
In fact, many Cangzhou soldiers on board were so frightened that they jumped into the river and tried to swim to the shore.
"I used the iron cable across the river to trap Shuzhou Navy here. But now it seems that Tong Du has trapped himself in a cocoon."
"I said earlier that when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. The truly elite navy in Cangzhou is not here. This General Tong Du has really underestimated my lord and me, Shuzhou."
Dongfang Jing's voice paused for a moment.
"Lord, it's time. Change rejection to hook. The enemy's defeat is complete, and we can engage in a boarding battle."
"As Bo Lie said, that's exactly what I meant."
Just waiting for Xu Mu's order, the Shuzhou navy, which had already been holding its breath, after approaching the enemy ship, changed its refusal to hook and hooked the enemy ship forward.
Tong Du did not let his navy retreat, with a look of madness on his face, "Get on board and fight with him, and kill the Shu people!"
…
"He also knows that there is no way to retreat." Dongfang Jing laughed, "In this world, those who stand in the way of the Lord's great cause will eventually disappear."
This sentence is very domineering and seems like a rainbow fart.
But... Xu Mu felt very comfortable listening to it.
