At this time, the ten soldiers untied the rope tied to the deck and pulled out a slender and thick wooden pole. This was also a new type of warship weapon of the Jiangxia Navy, called a pole.

That is, when two ships intersect, the large ship will smash a long pole and use its own falling power to hit the opponent's warship hard. This kind of pole has high requirements for wood and must be tough and heavy to cause damage to the enemy's large ship.

This kind of wood with special requirements cannot be found in Jiangxia, and the Dow Merchants searched for this wood for a whole year. Finally, they found a wood in Yuzhang County. The wood is delicate and heavy, and it is tough, curved into a semicircle without folding. The wood is slender and straight, which is very suitable for use as a rod.

The pole is about six meters long and is more than a thousand pounds. One end is fixed on the ship, usually placed horizontally, tied to the deck, controlled by ropes when attacking, and there are special wooden troughs to prevent injury to your ship when falling. This is actually a weapon for warships to fight in close combat, practical and sharp.

When the Sui Dynasty conquered the Chen Dynasty in the south, the Sui Dynasty naval army used this kind of stick to sank countless Chen Dynasty warships and destroyed the Chen Dynasty naval army in one fell swoop.

In the chaos, the two ships passed by each other, only one meter apart. Chen Shuo was anxious and shouted anxiously: "Use shield to defend"

The distance is close, and it is easy to be attacked by the Jiangxia army. In the chaos, dozens of Jingzhou navy raised their shields and quickly formed a shield wall on the side of the ship.

At this moment, a soldier shouted in horror, "Does go away."

Chen Shuo looked up and was shocked. He saw a thin and long black shadow hitting him head-on. Many soldiers were so scared that they stumbled and fled. There was a loud bang, and the heavy slam hit the deck. The hull could not withstand such a heavy blow, and a large crack cracked above.

Chen Shuo was pulled away by a soldier in time and fell heavily on the deck. Only then did he see clearly the terrifying object in front of him. It turned out to be a long black wooden pole, six or seven feet long, and the other end was on the other side's ship.

There was a rope on the long wooden pole, and it was creaking and high. Chen Shuo was shocked. He knew what was going to happen, and he didn't care about the soldiers and rolled and crawled to the stern.

As soon as he ran a few steps, the pole hit him violently again, with another loud bang, and the warship could no longer support him. Only the hull was heard continuously, and the crack continued to the bottom of the ship, and a large amount of river water rushed into the bottom cabin.

Chen Shuo had already run to the stern of the boat, and then there was another loud bang. This was the first strike. The big ship swayed violently and raised high. Chen Shuo fell heavily. When he turned around, he was so shocked that he was about to stop. The hull had been broken into two pieces.

The soldiers screamed and fell into the water. The broken hull had sunk into the water, causing the ship to rise up at both ends. Chen Shuo's body rolled down. He grabbed the side of the ship, shouted, and jumped into the river with all his might.

When the ship sinks into the river, it will cause huge whirlpools, wrapping the people and objects around it into the bottom of the river. Chen Shuo knows this well, so he paddled desperately and swam towards the shore regardless of everything.

At this time, it was almost dark, and the half-light and half-dark twilight enveloped the river.

The victory and defeat on the battlefield have been decided. The main ship of the Jingzhou army was broken into two pieces by a pole and gradually sank to the bottom of the river. Another battlefield was burning with fire. The soldiers had jumped into the river and fled. The other warships were also ignited by the fire and fled to the Jingzhou army's water camp in chaos.

The Jiangxia army sent more than a dozen small boats to look for Jingzhou naval soldiers who fell into the water on the river. There were crying for help everywhere on the river, and they were all rescued by Jiangxia boats one by one.

More than 10,000 soldiers of the Jingzhou navy witnessed this battle. In addition to exclaiming, it was silent at this time. The big ship burning on the river was particularly bright under the night sky and gradually began to sink. This scene made everyone's heart heavy, timidity and frustration spread among the army like a plague, and their morale was very sluggish.

Zhang Yun's mood became particularly heavy. In addition to turbulent, the Jiangxia Navy also appeared a long pole heavy blow weapon, which was even more sharp and unbelievable. However, he really saw that the two ships intersected, and as long as they had to get off, the warship was smashed.

Even if he has ten times the opponent's warships and troops, he may not be able to defeat the opponent in such a water battle. Zhang Yun couldn't help but sigh, and for the first time he felt regretful.

At this time, a military marquis rushed forward and asked Zhang Yun for instructions: "Report to the lieutenant, the sky is dark. Are the navy continuing to confront each other until dawn?"

Zhang Yun shook his head, "No need to confront me, pass my orders, the back team will become the front team, and the fleet will return to the water camp."

On the river surface, the Jingzhou navy began to retreat slowly. Liu Jing stood on the large ship and stared at the Jingzhou ship retreating. At this time, Li Jun got on the large ship and knelt down on one knee to salute, "The subordinate Xiang Shoujie Order"

Liu Jing praised him and said, "I fought very well, and I took the opportunity very accurately. I will remember your first achievements in this battle."

"Xie Shou"

Li Jun hesitated and asked again: "The morale of the Jingzhou army is now sluggish. Can we take advantage of the situation to attack and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop?"

Liu Jing shook his head, "They are not enemies. Our enemy is only Zhang Yun. Defeating them now is like destroying valuable things in the family. I don't want to do that. I will do it according to the original plan. Did Jia Yun get in?"

"Reporting to the guard, Jia Junhou pretended to be an escape soldier and fled to the ashore with Chen Shuo."

Liu Jing showed a sneer on his face, "Then I should go ashore, and I will leave the navy to you."

"Subordinates obey orders"

.........

Jingzhou Junshui Village uses a natural lake. The water village is located in Yinan Lake, more than ten miles south of Yicheng County. It is a medium-sized lake with an area of ​​about hectares, which is connected to the Han River.

The lake mouth is about meter wide, and dozens of large ships can be used in parallel. Usually, there are irons to block the lake mouth and no outside ships are allowed to enter. At the same time, two guard posts are set up, and there are constant patrols of the Jingzhou Navy to patrol back and forth. More than a thousand warships of the Jingzhou Navy are quietly moored in Yinan Lake.

However, the military camp is on the shore, covering an area of ​​nearly a thousand acres, consisting of more than one thousand large tents. It is located on the north bank of Yinan Lake and is close to the Han River to the west of the military camp. Since the navy is stationed here for many years, most of the residents of Yicheng County are the families of naval soldiers.

In the night, the iron that blocked the lake mouth was put down, and warships slowly sailed into Yinan Lake. Large ships docked one after another, and the navy soldiers disembarked one after another.

Many soldiers didn't even eat lunch, and it was too late, so they were already hungry and rushed to the barracks one by one.

Although Zhang Yun was also upset and exhausted, he was the chief general and he had to consider many things carefully. The Jiangxia navy was eyeing the Han River, and the soldiers could not rest.

Zhang Yun immediately ordered half of the navy and warships to be deployed on the Hukou line to prevent the Jiangxia navy from breaking into the water camp. He also sent twenty patrol teams to patrol near Yinan Lake and monitor the Jiangxia army from the land to attack the navy camp.

There was a noise in the navy camp, and groups of soldiers were gathering outside the tent for dinner. Torches illuminated the camp. The figures swayed, shouted and scolded, and the crazy laughter mixed together, making the camp particularly noisy and chaotic.

An officer dressed as a garrison leader quickly walked through the big tents and came to a big tent in the southwest corner. Two soldiers stood at the door of the big tent. The officer bowed to the soldiers and said, "Is this General Feng's big tent?"

The two soldiers looked him up and down and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm in Xia's surname Cao, who is a fellow general Feng, and I grew up with him."

Hearing that his accent was the same as that of Sima Feng, the soldier nodded, "You wait."

A soldier went in to report, and soon, the curtain was lifted, and another Sima Feng Yi walked out quickly. He saw the officer at a glance and laughed: "It's really you, Wulang, why are you here?"

He stepped forward and punched the officer intimately. The two hugged each other excitedly. The officer smiled and said, "Second brother, we haven't seen each other for ten years."

"Yes, I've been away from my hometown for ten years, that's not seen me for ten years. Come and have a drink."

Feng Yi pulled him into the tent. The officer was named Cao Yun, who was Wei Yan's confidant and from Yiyang County. He happened to be with Feng Yi and grew up together since childhood and had a deep friendship. This time he came to meet Feng Yi's friendship on the order of Liu Jing.

The two of them sat down after entering the tent. Feng Yi took out a bottle of wine from the box and smiled and said, "Although you are not allowed to drink wine during war, it's okay to drink two glasses."

He found two ear cups, poured two glasses of wine, picked up the glass and said, "Come and do it."

The two of them drank it all, and Feng Yi poured two more glasses of wine, and couldn't help but say hatefully: "Today's water battle made people extremely frustrated. Zhang Yun was so stupid that he actually intercepted Liu Jing's goods. Now that they are here, they are burning the Jingzhou water army to urinate. It's a coward."

Cao Yun heard his tone and was extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Yun. He smiled slightly, took out ten ingots of gold from the bag he carried with him, each ingot weighing twenty taels, and put it on the table and pushed it to him.

Feng Yi stood up in shock, "Brother, what are you doing?"

"This is when Liu Shou knew that his second brother's family was not well off, so he specially asked me to give it to his second brother and treat his uncle."

Feng Yi's eyes widened, he suddenly drew out the knife, pointed at Cao Yun and shouted: "Who are you?"

Cao Yun shook his head and smiled, "Who am I? Don't you know yet?"

Feng Yi stared at him for a while, and slowly put away the knife, but his eyes were still surprised, "Brother, are you Jiang Xiajun?"

Cao Yun laughed, "Isn't the Jiangxia army the Jingzhou army? What's the difference between us? It's just me, Wuchang, you're in Yicheng."

Having said that, Cao Yun also knew that they were the enemy today. He took out Liu Jing's handwritten letter from his arms and put it on the table and pushed it to Feng Yi, "This is the handwritten letter to the second brother, you can take a look first."

Feng Yi sat down and slowly picked up the letter, but his hands were trembling slightly. He knew very well what was going on. It was Liu Jing who fell in love with him, so he sent his fellow villager Cao Yun to persuade him to surrender. He opened the letter and read it. It turned out that Liu Jing was trying to persuade him to go to Jiangxia.

Feng Yi lowered his head and said nothing. Although he was not interested in Zhang Yun because he hated Zhang Yun, he was not interested in Cai Mao and Liu Cong, but this was a big deal after all. How could he agree to such a thing at once? The chaos in his heart was reasonable.

Cao Yun advised him again: "Everyone is very clear about the situation in Jingzhou now, and I won't talk much, but one thing is that if Cao Cao's army goes south, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun will inevitably surrender. If the soldiers in the north are not familiar with water wars, Cao Cao will definitely use us as the vanguard and will not be pity. Sooner or later, we will fight to the death. Instead of becoming a slave to the Cao army, it is better to follow Liu Shou to defend his home. And if I remember correctly, my second brother's brother died at the hands of Cao's army."
