Chapter 98 The Mirage (Continued)

"Shake hard! Shake hard!"

Amid the shouts of shouting, the oars were sweating profusely and rowing the long boats. The fighting ships left the water camp and rushed towards the river.

The ship that attacked was just a vehicle and a ship. The crew stepped on the pedal to drive the paddles, and the paddles kept evacuating water, driving the hull forward.

There were also large ships behind, including Feiyun, Gaihai, Golden Wings and other warships. Because they could not move so quickly in a hurry, they were still slowly leaving the dock.

The sound of war drums sounded, and the archers on the Clippers such as the fighting ships began to prepare torches. Everyone looked at the huge fleet ahead and couldn't help but feel sweaty.

Now it is a north wind. Although the wind is not very strong, it is a bit troublesome for the navy warships in Jingkou Shuizhai to fight, because the other side is roughly a good wind, while the one side is a good wind.

It is precisely because of this that the large warships anchored in the water camp were unable to leave the port and lined up in formation, so they could only use the faster-speed boats to attack first, fight against the enemy ships, and buy time for their own side.

The boat was walking like flying on the river, approaching the enemy ship with flammable objects, first shooting rockets, and then throwing torches. This tactic can effectively disrupt the enemy's ship formation.

After the formation of the big ship on your side is completed, you can fight with the enemy ship and kill the enemy with a pole and a big crossbow.

This is a rough step in normal water battles, but for the soldiers of the Chen State navy, the invading enemy is unusual, and the water battle tactics are extremely cruel and cannot be taken lightly.

Although the sudden fleet, although it has not yet stated its identity and cannot see the flag clearly, the Chen army soldiers can think of it with their feet. This is the warship of Zhou State. Now it is a warship that is not declared and is going to attack Jingkou Shuizhai.

The Zhou Navy has fought with the Chen Navy in the past ten years, with more victory and fewer losses, so the Chen army soldiers dare not take it lightly at this time.

Jingkou is the gateway to the capital of Jiankang. If there is any loss, Jiankang will be in danger. If the enemy occupy Jingkou and control the river surface, the Chen army in Jiangbei will be unable to cross the river and return to Jiankang in an urgent manner.

Therefore, even if it is hasty, the navy soldiers have to fight. If they can give the opponent a headache, it would be better. If they can get both sides hurt, that would be good.

As long as you guard Jingkou and prevent the other party from landing calmly, these warships coming from the sea will have to go home in shame.

The premise is that you will not suffer any losses if you fight in the water.

The Chen army's vanguard Clippers were approaching the enemy and were full of fighting spirit. At this time, it was bright and the sunlight leaked from the cracks of the clouds, forming beams of light. The flags in the attacking fleet were very conspicuous.

Among those flags, many black-bottomed white rose flags were waving in the wind in the sun, which was particularly conspicuous. When Chen Jun soldiers saw it, they couldn't help but wonder:

Isn’t the black-back white flower (rose) flag a mark of the Zhouguo Maritime Fleet?

These incoming ships now have many long oars and sails on both sides. Although they are sailing against the current, their movement speed is not slow.

Although the invading enemy was hung with white Citi, there is no doubt that the other party was indeed a Zhou ship. Since he had fought and launched a sneak attack without pronouncement, there was no need for his own side to be polite.

Seeing that the Zhou army warships put down many small boats, Chen Jun's clutch moved faster.

The Zhou army's boat was also very fast. Unlike the Chen army's fast ship, there were no long boats or sails on both sides of the Zhou army's warship, but they could still move quickly on the water.

It is said that the Zhou Navy had a strange boat that could sail without oars and sails. Many people didn't believe it. Now they saw it with their own eyes and couldn't help but be surprised. But they knew that it was a war now, not a joke, so they had to fight when they were fighting later.

Small stoves were lit in the cabins of each ship, and many iron forks were placed on the fire by soldiers to prepare for a while of fire attack. Firewood would naturally smoke, while Zhou army clutches rushed towards the opposite side also blew up thick smoke.

It was rolling smoke, as if there was a fire.

If it weren't for not seeing the fire, the soldiers of Chen army really thought that these enemy clutches had already caught fire. Seeing the opponent approaching him quickly, many people were ready.

The archers shot out fire arrows, but the fire arrows fell on the Zhou army's clutch but bounced away one after another. It seemed that the ship was covered with a layer of hard armor, so they were not afraid of fire arrows in a short period of time.

The distance between the two sides was close, less than fifty steps. At this time, the soldiers of Chen found that there were chimneys on the opposite ships, and the rolling smoke came out of the chimney.

No one knows what this means, but he knows it must be a strange weapon of Zhou Jun.

The war is imminent, and retreating is impossible. Chen Jun's clutch is brave enough to intercept the invading enemy and buy time for his own ships.

The two sides were getting closer and closer, and the two armies advanced in a loose formation quickly intertwined together.

At this moment, the Zhou army's clutch suddenly roared, and then sprayed out a large amount of water vapor, covering the approaching Chen army's clutch. A shrill scream and wailing sounded.

A small boiler that uses coal as fuel has boiled the fresh water in the boiler, turning it into water vapor and stored in a pressure-resistant container.

When the valve is opened, hot water vapor is sprayed out. When it encounters cold iron armor or relatively cold human body, it turns from gas to liquid, and at the same time releases huge heat, burning the human body.

Even wearing iron armor is useless, because the armor leaves are quickly heated and become hot, which can still burn the human body, not to mention the naked eyes, if they are scalded by high-temperature steam, they will immediately become blind.

The Zhou army's clutches carrying small boilers sprayed out high-temperature steam, covering the Chen army's clutches struggling to fight, and the battle situation was instantly one-sided.

The large amount of water vapor ejected out formed thick fog on the river surface. This artificially formed thick fog came so suddenly, just like a strange beast "mirage" exposed on the water surface, suddenly spitting out mirage, covering the river surface.

The mirage transformed into a strange mirage. The shadows of ships appeared in the thick fog, and then they became real and rushed towards the Chen Jun's cliffs, which were in chaos.

The lightning strike ships driven by foot-pedal propellers did not entangle with the defeated Chen Jun's clutch, but rushed through the fleeing ships at a faster speed and rushed straight towards the Chen Jun's large ship that was forming a formation.

There is a long pole in front and back that extends out of the bow/stern of the ship. The back end is a counterweight and the front end is a thunderbolt weighing nearly 100 kilograms. The ready-to-hike struck the ship, like a fire moth, hitting the big ship that is close to the corner.

Thunder sounds came one after another, and when the thick smoke was made, the main warship of Chen's army was shrouded in flames.

The firelight reflected the face of the navy admiral Wang Jun red. He put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile, took out his pocket watch and looked at it: It is two o'clock in the afternoon now, and there is still plenty of time.

Look at the left and right, the huge fleet makes people excited. Look ahead, Jingkou Shuizhai is close to you.

The combat plan formulated by King Bin himself, code-named "Mirage". Now it has finally arrived at a critical moment. Wang Jun, as the head coach, was very excited.

This is a big adventure, if it becomes the best, if it fails, Wang Jun will be fully responsible.

Forged military orders, fought without proclaiming the enemy, and launched border provocations, and lost troops and humiliated the country. These four crimes were enough to ruin him, but the king didn't care, because this opportunity was what he had always dreamed of.

Nearly forty years ago, Chen Baxian, the general of Liang State who was in charge of Jingkou to protect Jiankang, suddenly led his army to attack Jiankang. Liang State was in power, and the Secretary of the State ordered Wang Sengbian to capture and kill him.
