Chapter 88

?

;

The west wind was strong, and Zhou's fire ships rode the wind and were downstream and rushed straight towards the Chen army formation east of the downstream. Many Mengchong Dou Ships and other fast ships interspersed in between. Their duty was to protect the fire ships and prevent enemy clutches from approaching and destroying them. It was also to ignite the fire ships at the right time.

Chen Jun's clutch naturally wanted to go forward to try to intercept the opponent's fire ship. Zhou Jun first ignited the fire ship and then rowed the boat forward. The clutchs on both sides quickly joined the battle. First, they shot crossbows and then started to catch the sidelines, hooks, spears, and torches, and then they were bloody jumping gang battles.

The fire ship was very fast, and a small part was destroyed by the Chen army's clutch, while the rest rushed towards the oncoming Chen army's vehicles and ships. The shape of the Chen army's vehicles was similar to the previous Zhou army's vehicles and ships. There were two water wheels on each side, and each ship had four water wheels in total.

The difference is that two long large bamboo poles extend out of the front end of each ship. Each large bamboo poles are tied into two to four bamboo poles. The front end is wrapped with iron and several iron chains are hung. There are many iron hooks on the chains, like iron fishing nets spread out, facing the approaching fire boat.

Chen Jun's vehicles and ships were also lined up in a line, and they tried to get as close as possible without affecting the rotation of their respective water wheels. This was the result of their hard work for months. In addition, iron chains were temporarily connected between each two ships, and a long wall of ships ran across the river.

The fire boats rushing towards each other were blocked by the iron chains in front of the ship. Because they were far away from the hull, the fire seemed to be very small, so they were even less effective. Seeing that the interception was successful, General Chen Jun activated the sailors in the ship to step on the wheel.

"Come on, push these fireboats to meet them, and see how Zhou Jun hides!"

Although it was against the current, the Chen army's vehicles and ships were still moving forward with the water wheels. The main warships of the Zhou army upstream were approaching, but they were very fast along the way. If they couldn't stop, they would collide with the Chen army's vehicles and ships.

The most important thing is to first collide with the fire ships they released themselves, and no Chen army car or ship was supported by a large, thick bamboo pole. Not only could they separate the fire ships, but they could also push these fire ships to the side of the Zhou army.

This will not only allow the Zhou army, who is in the upper wind, to "play with fire and burn himself", but also prevent the fire from coming with the wind and burning itself. In order to avoid being affected by Mars, Chen's vehicles and ships have already unloaded the sails, and the bare masts are nest boxes for viewing hands and archers to use.

The ship was covered with wet straw, which was prevented from falling Mars and rockets. If Zhou Jun rockets were indeed powerful to ignite these straws, they could also use hooks to prevent them from being pulled open, and the ship deck was deliberately soaked, and everything was for fire prevention.

In this way, the warships on both sides were in stalemate, and the Zhou army was lit by their own fire ships. The warships behind them had to retract their sails to avoid hitting these warships and had to row hard to retreat. In this way, the advantage of being smooth sailing will disappear instantly.

Then Chen's car and ships continued to advance, pushing the Zhou army's fired warships upstream. Of course, this would be very difficult, so the second row was still on the top of the ships. Two rows of ships were used to push the other side forward, forcing all the warships behind them to retreat.

Once the response is improper, the Zhou army's warships are likely to be crowded together. Then Chen Jun sets the rockets and adds fuel to the fire. Although it is against the wind, it can burn as much as possible.

This is Chen Jun's tactics, the tactics of dealing with Zhou's arson ships. Seeing the Zhou army's warship approaching, a row of vehicles and ships were pushing over. The Chen Jun general on the vehicle shouted loudly: "Punch the wheel hard, and you're ready to hit it!"

At this moment, the fire ship they were pushing had an accident. The flammable things piled on the ship could not burn. Not only that, black smoke began to emerge. The black smoke became thicker and thicker, and was blown by the west wind toward the Chen Jun warship that was close to him.

The thick smoke was a bit spicy and choking, and it made people unable to open their eyes. Chen Jun soldiers put on masks, and each of them had a wet wipe around their necks, which were used to insert their eyes from time to time.

"It turns out that poisonous smoke is released, I have been on guard for a long time!" Chen Bing laughed and scolded. They had already expected Zhou Jun to set the fire ship, and they would have a solution to the other party's fire ship, so the other party might also think of this. Then it is possible that the one who released it was not the fire ship, but the poisonous smoke ship that was full of smoke.

In order to prevent the other party from using this trick, Chen Jun soldiers and soldiers were all equipped with wet wipes. Not only were there soldiers on the deck, but there were also young and strong people who stepped on water wheels in the cabin, so the Zhou army's plan could not take effect.

"Keep going and get ready to hit the boat!"

The Clippers of both sides have finished fighting and dodged to both sides. Now when the main ship collided and then joined the sidelines, they were stuck in the middle and had no other end except being sunk.

"What is on the water?" Chen Jun soldiers shouted, their eyes blinked by thick smoke. Fortunately, wet wipes wiped their eyes, otherwise they would not even be able to open them. At this time, they found that there were many floating ropes on the river.

Someone used hooks to resist picking ropes and found that these ropes were quite long. Each rope was of different lengths but had more than one meter. There were also some small iron hooks in the two sections. Chen Jun soldiers looked at the ropes and sneered.

"The water wheel is stuck, the water wheel is stuck by these ropes!!" A shout came from the cabin. Everyone poked their heads out and found that there was a problem with the water wheels on both sides. Because of the rope being twisted, they were gradually stuck and unable to move.

"It turns out that they used ropes to flick the water wheel!" Some generals were not afraid of danger and asked the soldiers to use a long rod hook and sickle to "clear the obstacles". The other party's use of this move was as expected.

Chen Jun was practicing the tactics of car and boats in Pengli Lake. He accidentally found that the rope floating on the water was rolled up by the water wheel, and it was wrapped in a ball, which made it difficult for the water wheel to rotate. If the rope was carrying an iron hook, it would be very likely to hook the wooden board of the hull, which would directly jamm the water wheel, and even the reverse water wheel could not break free.

Although I don’t know if the Zhou army knew about this situation, it was always right to think that the enemy was lenient, so at this time, I needed a long-handled hook and sickle to help, and used a "quick knife to cut the mess" between the ropes.

The long-handled hook and sickle is actually a long-handled sickle. Each vehicle and ship has about ten, and the number of ropes is cut with three hook and sickle according to each water wheel. Even if you hit Zhou Jun, you will not be afraid of this move.

Not only that, Chen Jun also prepared similar ropes with hooks, but he was downstream, so it was inconvenient to use this method to deal with Zhou Jun.

Now the other party really used this trick to harm people. If it weren't for the thick smoke and the other party was only released after approaching, they would have noticed something was wrong and used a hook sickle, hook to resist, and a long bamboo pole to pick up these things.

Chen Jun was hit one after another, but the hooked ropes were stuck in the water wheels and could not move. Seeing that the impact was about to be met and his warships lost their speed, the generals commanded the soldiers to cut the ropes quickly.

"Trigger hard, if you don't eat enough, what if you don't have enough food? You can't even cut the hemp rope!"

"I'm waiting to exert force, but I can't cut it halfway..."

"Baby, you're going to work hard!"

"Quick, cut it quickly, it's going to be a collision!" The generals were a little anxious when they saw the Zhou army's vehicles and ships rushing towards them. Their warships were inactive and there was no difference between them and the wood floating on the water. This collision was probably going to be knocked back.

"It's really hard to cut!" The soldiers who cut the ropes were so anxious that they were sweating heavily, but the thick smoke from the fireworks on the bow of the boat choked them to tears. An anxious general directly ordered the people to jump into the water with a sharp knife to cut the ropes.

"The rope is not right, there is something inside!" A soldier shouted loudly, but then he was choked by the thick smoke and coughed. Others snatched the rope that was picked up and carefully checked, and found that he had cut the rope halfway, revealing several iron wires.

"Iron wire, how can there be iron wire inside the rope!" Panic shouts came one after another. Although the Chen army soldiers didn't know how such a long and thin wire was made, they already knew why the ropes were cut.

These iron wires are not light, but the hemp rope is very long and thick, so the hemp rope wrapped in the iron wire can still float on the water surface. As a result, their water wheels of the car and ship were stuck, and they were anxious to cut them.

"Use an axe, use an axe! You guys take the axe under..."

Before he finished speaking, the hull shook suddenly, and loud noises came one after another. Zhou Jun's vehicles and ships had already hit. Although Chen Jun's ships were hit by a large bamboo pole, they were still knocked back.

Even the soldiers who were busy cutting ropes on the deck were unstable, and some fell into the water. The people who fell into the water were frightened to find that there were still many hooked ropes floating, and they were carried by the river toward the ships behind.

"Be careful, be careful of those ropes!" Someone shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to attract the attention of the vehicles and ships behind him, but their shouts were overwhelmed by the subsequent movements.

Zhou Jun's vehicle and ship were equipped with a single paddle rod, and they were slapped in front of the bow. Fortunately, Chen Jun's vehicle and ship had a large bamboo pole at the front of the ship to keep a distance, but these bamboo poles were directly interrupted by Zhou Jun's slap.

Seeing that the opponent was closing the stick at a very fast speed, he was about to shoot the second shot. General Chen's army commanded the archers to shoot arrows. However, the Zhou army's archers were not fools. The soldiers on the warships on both sides immediately began to shoot at each other and tried to suppress the other party.

"Use the Wanjun divine crossbow to kill him..." A Chen army general swung his sword and pointed at the enemy ship opposite. The Wanjun divine crossbow can shoot multiple arrows with one arrow, and then use the arrow to be used as a rocket.

Before he finished speaking, he glimpsed that the side plate of Zhou Jun's vehicle and ship was folded down in front of him, revealing several large crossbows in the cabin facing him. Several giant arrows were lined up on the arrow groove on the big crossbow, and the arrows were blazing with flames, as if they were ready.

“Release…”

The harsh sound of breaking through the air sounded one after another. He felt a flash of fire in front of him, and his chest was hurt. Some of them seemed to penetrate him. When he turned around, he saw that the soldiers who operated the Wanjun Divine Crossbow had suffered heavy casualties. Some of them were nailed to the bulkhead behind by giant arrows. The flames on the arrows were burning everything that could be burned around.

The trembling arrow shaft was covered with blood and some bloody fragments. I don’t know who it was. He wanted to ask someone to operate the Wanjun magic crossbow, but he felt liquid pouring out of his throat.

A mouthful of blood was spitting on the deck, and bursts of pain came from his chest. He looked down and saw a hole the size of a fist appeared on his chest. The sound of breaking through the air sounded again. He looked up and found that it was a large crossbow on the Zhou army warship firing a burning giant arrow.

Perhaps because the middle line of the ship was equipped with a pole, the large crossbows on Zhou's military vehicles were fired diagonally toward the front side, and a number of arrows nailed the rockets to Chen's military vehicles.

The hull was shaken, and the opponent's warship slapped the other bamboo pole of his warship. Seeing the warship rushing forward, he waved his sword to fight but could not hold the handle. His strength gradually dissipated and his legs fell on the deck.

"Ho, ho..." He wanted to say something, but a lot of blood gushed out of his mouth, and the pain in his chest spread throughout his body.

A comrade behind him jumped over him and rushed forward, as if he was about to jump to the approaching enemy warship, but was shot down by Zhou Jun on the ship. He struggled to get up but could no longer move. He watched the opponent throw fireballs at him, and watched the fireballs fall in front of him.

The fireball burst and overflowed with the burning liquid, and a scent of fragrance pierced into his nostrils. The fragrance was very familiar with the smell of sesame oil, and it was also commonly used tincture oil. Seeing the deck began to burn, he lamented in his heart: 'Why is this...'
