Chapter 461 The strength of the navy pioneers

The next day, it was dawn, and the rising sun just rose in the early morning, Wu Zixu led five thousand naval troops out of the water camp.

Under the morning light, nearly 150 warships were flying out of the water camp in an orderly manner, the sound of paddling and trumpeting, and the sound of trumpets when sailors exerted their strength, resounded throughout the Han River.

The navy soldiers all knew that a war was about to begin, but their mood was extremely calm and there was no trace of tension, as if everything was about to begin was just an exercise planned in advance.

On the shore, looking at the water soldiers in his army and his calmness, the Tao Shang couldn't help but nodded slightly and exclaimed: "In just two years, the navy can be trained so elite. Wu Zixu is worthy of being the pioneer of the navy. It seems that I should keep this foreshadowing right."

Liang Fei and tens of thousands of infantry soldiers watched, all five thousand naval soldiers drove out of the water camp, forming an attacking formation on the river surface, and slowly sailing towards the Chu water camp opposite.

The Wei army launched a large-scale move, and Cai Mao, who was opposite, responded quickly.

After a while, the pottery looked up and saw vague black dots moving, finally gathering into dark clouds, facing Wu Zixu's fleet and looking north.

The Chu navy came to fight without hesitation.

"Cai Mao, let you see what you are so powerful." A sneer flashed across Tao Shang's lips.

The wind blew, and the clouds in the sky gradually spread out. The rising sun was blocked in the clouds. The sky and water soon became darker and gray.

On the surface of the river, two naval fleets have launched their own attack formations, and the battle is only in front of them.

Tattata!

The sound of ticks sounded in his ears, and the pottery suddenly felt a trace of coldness on his face. When he raised his head, he saw more and more water drops falling on his face, and a summer rain came unexpectedly.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and soon it fell from the dim sky like beads that broke the thread. The red cloak on the pottery was quickly wet.

Jing Ke hurriedly brought a straw raincoat and wanted to put it on for the pottery, but the pottery pushed it away, and Jing Ke was stunned.

The Tao merchant stood in the rain, ignoring the blow of the raindrops, and resolutely said: "The navy soldiers are fighting for the country in the rain. I am not familiar with water. Although I cannot fight side by side with them, I will still be wet from this heavy rain with them."

As soon as these generous words came out, all the soldiers of the three armies were infected by pottery merchants and threw away the rain-covered objects on their bodies. Although tens of thousands of soldiers were poured in the rain, they were all excited in their hearts. The generosity and pride burst out, and they silently helped them fight in their hearts.

A navy in the rain is right in front of you.

The heavier the rain, the flag with the word "Wu" on the flagship is messy in the wind and rain.

In the southwest direction, hundreds of giant ships of Chu appeared and disappeared in the rain and fog, with great momentum.

Liu Biao was a prince in the south. The Chu State had two large water systems, spanning the Han River and the Yangtze River. The shipbuilding industry was naturally very developed. Liu Biao had been in Jingzhou for many years and had a full range of naval warships under his command, and most of them were large fighting ships as the main force.

Although the pottery merchant's territory was larger than Liu Biao and his overall strength was stronger than Liu Biao, he had no ability to build a warship naval army because he occupied most of the territory in the northern part of the Central Plains. This time, the naval warships transferred by Wu Zixu from Xu Yang were mostly medium-sized turbo-fighters as the main combat ships.

In the water war, crossbows are the main weapon. The fighting ships are tall and not only carry more troops, but also have the advantage of being condescending and downward than the rushing. Obviously, the enemy has the upper hand in the number of water soldiers, the number of ships, and the mass of warships.

Wu Zixu held the sword with his ring head, his eagle eyes slightly condensed, staring at the huge enemy fleet that Yaowuyang approached. His white hair was flying in the wind and rain. His young face was not only confident, but also confident, and there was no trace of fear.

Opposite, on the huge fighting ship flagship in the Chu fleet, Cai Mao looked down at the Wei army warship, which was few and weak in the enemy, and a disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Think about his third brother Cai He who had his ears and nose cut, and then think about his second brother Cai Zhong, who was killed by Tao Merchants, and the fire of revenge was ignited in Cai Mao's chest.

"Tao Shang, your shame to my Cai family is today when you want you to repay it..."

Cai Mao snorted coldly in his eyes, and suddenly pointed the blade and said sternly: "Rise the order flag, press the entire army to suppress the enemy's small broken ship in one fell swoop."

Above the flagship, the offensive flag was hung high, and the horn sounded whimpering.

The order was passed, and the rumbling war rose up from all sides. On one battleship, thousands of crossbowmen quickly launched arrow strikes at Wu Zixu's army with long-range hard crossbows, and were like sharp arrows coming from locusts, leaning towards the Wei fleet as overwhelmingly.

The Wei army warships were immediately suppressed by the enemy's rain of arrows, and the soldiers had to shrink into the hull, not daring to show their heads easily, and the situation quickly fell into a passive state.

Seeing this, Fan Kuai, who was watching the battle, shouted worriedly: "Master, this Wu Zixu seems to be incompetent. He was suppressed by Cai Mao and didn't even dare to raise his head. How can he fight this battle?"

Tao Shang gave him a blank look, "Silly, when can you use your brain?"

Fan Kuai was stunned at once, touching the back of his head, his face full of confusion.

"Fan Dawei, can't you tell me that General Wu is deliberately showing weakness to Cai Mao and luring him to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly." Zhang Liang had already seen Wu Zixu's intentions clearly and explained with a smile.

Showing weakness?

Fan Kuai still couldn't figure it out, with a confused look on his face. Seeing that his fleet was suppressed and could not raise his head, he knew nothing about water battles, he really couldn't see that Wu Zixu was deliberately showing weakness.

"Learn hard and see how Wu Zixu performs." Tao Shang said coldly, and his eyes continued to shoot towards the river.

The battle between the Han River was clear.

Cai Mao, who had the upper hand, did not take Wu Zixu seriously at all. In his opinion, the small rush of Wei State was so shabby that it was so shabby. Fighting with his fighting ship army was tantamount to hitting stones with eggs. He just drove the fleet forward in a large manner, condescending to the high point, and shooting wildly on the crossbow.

On the Wei army's flagship, Wu Zixu stood firmly like Mount Tai, dancing with one hand to block the enemy's arrows, while staring at the enemy's army and observing the enemy's situation.

In his vision, the two fleets of warships were less than a hundred steps apart, and it was already his psychological distance.

Just now!

Wu Zixu raised a sneer on his lips and shouted suddenly: "Shake the commando, commando, kill me."

On the flagship, a blue letter flag was immediately erected.

In a blink of an eye, nearly seventy rushing ships were hidden behind more than twenty bucket ships, and suddenly came out from both sides. The sailors drove their oars to the maximum, like a rain of speeding arrows, rushing towards the enemy's large ships.

Wu Zixu's tactic is to lure the enemy into approaching, and then board the ship with a fast ship to fight.

Seeing this, Cai Mao on the flagship saw something strange on his face and immediately shouted: "Boundists, aim at the enemy's rush, don't let them rush up!"

The order was passed down, and hundreds of Chu army crossbowmen heard the order and quickly changed the target of the shooting. With the advantage of the tall ship shape, they descended from a high point, and arrows rushed towards the Wei army like raindrops.

Cai Mao thought that with the advantage of a strong bow and hard crossbow, it was enough to stop the Wei army coming up, but after a moment, he was shocked to find that his flying bee-like rain of arrows could not stop the Wei army from rushing forward.

Wu Zixu smiled on the rushing ship that rushed in the front. He knew that the tactics he had developed over the years had finally worked.

Although he was far away in Xu Yang over the years, he has always paid attention to the Jingzhou navy and can be said to be well aware of the enemy's tactical style.

He knew that his navy was not able to build enough large combat ships, so he carefully built these fast ships. Although the hull was small, it was extremely fast, and it was covered with two layers of cowhide outside, enough to withstand the attack of any strong bow and hard crossbow.

He showed weakness before and was suppressed actively in order to lure Cai Mao into underestimating the enemy. When the enemy is close enough, he will use a confrontation commando to launch a close-range boarding battle against the enemy.

In a moment, nearly seventy ships rushed through the waves and moved forward quickly in the dense rain of arrows, and penetrated into the enemy's naval formation like the wind.

Wu Zixu personally sat on a warship and headed towards Cai Mao's flagship.

Bang!

A few seconds later, accompanied by a dull loud noise, the metal horn at the front end of the rushing rush hit Cai Mao's flagship wing. Under the powerful impact force, the entire fighting ship shook violently, and the soldiers on the ship shook one after another, and several people even fell into the water.

"Brothers, after many years of training, today it is finally time for our navy to become famous in the world. Let me kill you with me!" Wu Zixu shouted, took a knife and jumped onto the enemy ship, led by the leader, and killed the Chu army that was caught off guard.

The Wei army soldiers who were eager to make contributions abandoned their oars and changed their swords, followed Wu Zixu, and rushed to kill the enemy ships.

When Wu Zixu snatched the enemy ship, the rest of the rushing express ships also collided with the enemy ships one after another. More than 70 express ships, like a sharp blade, rushed through the huge fleet of the Chu army.

The commando team succeeded, and more than 30 fighting ships and dozens of remaining small ships immediately drove at full speed to attack the enemy fleet. The crossbowmen fought back to suppress the firepower on the enemy ships and cover all the ships to attack the small ships to catch up and attack.

On the north bank, the pottery merchant and his tens of thousands of soldiers were all clearly seen, and the joy sounded like thunder in the blink of an eye.

"King, Wu Zixu really has two tricks. Your ability to recognize people is so great. Old Fan, I admire you so much." Fan Kuai shouted excitedly.

Tao Shang only smiled slightly and didn't say anything, but saw Wu Zixu achieve such great achievements.

Wu Zixu, who was killed on the enemy ship above the Han River, was unstoppable. His military power value was 98, and he rushed around the enemy ship, and no one could stop him. Wherever he passed, he would not be able to leave his life.

Blood splattered, and blood and rain fell all over the body. Wu Zixu was like a Shura demon general, extremely fierce.

"How is it possible? How could there be such a general under the command of Tao thieves? It's impossible..."

Cai Mao on the upper deck was so shocked that his face was as pale as paper. He claimed that he had fought so hard. He never expected that the weak naval army of the Tao merchant could destroy his fleet so easily. Mobile phone users should visit http://m.piaotian.net
