More than 300 Shu Han warships were on high alert in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and they went down the river to take straight to Jianye! In the waters near Jianye, more than 500 Wei navy were ready and went upstream! The battle for Jiangnan was first, and the navy was the most important. Even the victory or defeat of the navy determined the ownership of Jiangnan.

Whoever has the absolute advantage of waterways can use the waterways in Jiangnan to attack the land with all the well-connected waterways in Jiangnan, and even cut off the connection between Jiangnan and Jingzhou or the Huaihe River. The enemy team isolated in Jiangnan can only hold on to wait for assistance, but what force can the party that has destroyed the waterway to block the waterways and provide assistance? Liu Chan understands this truth, and Wang Ji also understands that the victory or defeat of the waterway is related to the lifeline of both sides. You cannot give up, you cannot lose, you can only win!

Sima Jiqiang, the general of the Wei Navy, suppressed his heart and kept thinking about various ways to respond to the battle. The fact that he was defeated by the Shu Han navy in the waters near Chaisang some time ago is still vivid in my mind. The attack methods of Shu people emerged one after another, but they were all expected, but it was only a sudden incident. If you can use oil bombs to lay the foundation for fire bombs, we can naturally use them. Technically, this is not difficult, and you can learn from them in tactics. What is troublesome is that every time you fight against the Shu army, there are unexpected tactics and new things. This decisive battle is of great importance, only victory is allowed but not defeat!

Fighting against the current is not good for the Wei army, but it cannot be changed. This is because the Yangtze River cannot move around. If it is an ordinary river or lake, you can go around the Shu army, but there is really no space on the Yangtze River to give more than 500 warships of different sizes to play with the hidden cats. Sima Ji is the navy general with the richest combat experience in the Wei Kingdom. The famous Jiangdong Navy was destroyed under Sima Ji. But when facing the Shu Han Navy, Sima Ji still felt that he was not confident enough.

As the Yangtze River war was about to break out, the Shu Han navy in Kuaiji also headed northward to attack various ports and ferries from the sea from Wujun. In the well-connected rivers and lakes, a large number of Shu Han warships entered the territory of the Wei people. The Wei army was also prepared, and the navy left behind in various places fought back. The entire Jiangnan area sounded and the war broke out! The Wei army was not willing to be outdone. Wang Ji, Zeng Chong and other Wei generals sent troops to attack Chaisang, Kuaiji, Yuzhang and other places on land to cooperate with their naval forces to launch a decisive battle!

War was filled with smoke, and fires surged on the Yangtze River kicked off the prelude to the war. The Shu Han navy re-used the same trick, with scarecrows tied to more than a thousand rafts, and the front of the raft was a sharp iron cone for striking enemy ships. More than a thousand rafts ignited a raging flame and rushed downstream to the Wei warships, with great momentum! After the raft, the Shu army released hundreds of small boats, with more than ten warriors on each ship, and the light boats advanced quickly and then covered them.

Seeing this, the general of Wei State Sima Ji had a chill in his face. Although the large-scale raft impact was expected, it was still very troublesome to deal with. Sima Ji's flagship was waving the flag frequently, and the huge Wei State navy began to take action. More than 20 large ships were driven out of the queue. These large ships were not the standard of the Wei State warships, but the most common tower ships of the Jiangdong Navy. Although their ships were of great strength, their combat effectiveness was not very strong. The Wei people controlled these Wu State buildings.

The ship arrived far ahead of the navy and placed the tower ships across the Yangtze River, forming a multi-layer defensive formation. The fire raft arrived in an instant, and the Wei people dropped the boats and left the boats, and the tower ships crossed the river and cut off the road for the fire raft to advance. The fire raft hit the tower ships fiercely. Although there were not many rafts that could impact side by side, and the tower ships across the river for several consecutive floors, the tower ships were only slightly knocked back and stopped moving.

On the other hand, more than a thousand fire rafts collided and swayed back and forth, and they finally found it difficult to continue to move forward, and they stopped on the river and burned continuously. Seeing this, the Shu army hurriedly turned the bow of the ship and returned to the team, and the sea of ​​fire in front of them was no longer able to move forward. It was Huang Chong's expectation that the initial battle failed to work. After several years of actual combat, the Wei people had much more experience in the naval army than the Shu army, and the small fire raft attack and killing naturally did not gain the upper hand.

The wind assisted the fire, and the fire took advantage of the wind. The rafts and tower ships were lit and the fire burned continuously. The Shu army stayed in the upstream area and waited silently. The Wei army was also paying attention to the fire. Both sides were waiting for the other party to make moves at the same time, but the other party was in a constant attitude of responding to changes. The fire was extremely high and the smoke was rolling. Both sides could not see the reality of the opposite side, so they naturally did not dare to act easily. Especially the Wei army, which was located in the downstream, and the situation was more cautious.

Sima Ji and other generals of Wei army looked at the bow of the ship and suddenly found that the fire was gradually moving towards their own direction, and it was getting closer and closer. When they looked closely, they couldn't help but get furious! It turned out that the Shu army was not inactive at all, but actually poured oil into the river water while the fire was isolated! The oil kept flowing downstream along the water. Although it was burning down when the fire was in full swing, it could still continue to get closer to the Wei fleet. When the fire was fierce, the Shu people did not move, in order to avoid the fire being too fierce and making it difficult to make the oil attack tactics difficult to move. Now that the fire is getting smaller, it is much easier to use the oil-adding tactics to secretly attack the Wei ship.

The navy of Wei gradually moved backwards. The Shu people had limited oil, but the consumption of the fire was unlimited. The tactic of adding oil to drive the fire could not last long. Sima Ji's judgment was correct. It was difficult for the fire to continue moving forward after the Wei army retreated not far away. But Sima Ji made a wrong judgment again. He knew that the fire had a limited attack range. How could Huang Chong, as a user, not know?

Just as the Wei army array was not sorted out, the sound of the horn suddenly rang out in the sky, and more than ten iron-armored warships rushed out of the gradually weakening fire, and rushed straight to the Wei fleet! Before the ship arrived, the casting rocks, oil bombs, fire bombs, and bows and arrows fell from the sky and caught the Wei army off guard!

The hull of the armored ship of Shu Han was covered with iron sheets, and the cover on the hull was extremely high. From the outside, it looked like a small town dock moving on the water. A huge iron cone protruded at the front of the hull was enough to break through any obstruction ship. The tower ship that was about to sink in the river was immediately under the impact of the armored ship, and it was immediately unable to block the ship.

The armored warship opened the way and opened fire. The main ships of Shu Han followed randomly. Once they entered the attack range, they would be overwhelming throwing offensives. The Wei army had already lost some warships before they counterattacked, and the warships that could counterattack in time were limited. The throwing distances of the two sides were almost the same. The Wei ships that could fight back were covered by the Shu army's preemptive offensive. Everyone was panicked and naturally couldn't make an effective counterattack. Sima Ji began to mobilize the Wei ships to fight, and more and more warships were put into the battlefield, striving to use oil bombs, fire bombs, and throwing stone bows and arrows to fight back. But Sima Ji was still uncomfortable, but his own carefulness was still being seized by the Shu people. The advancement of counter-current combat was suddenly lost, and he was still passive to fight. What does this mean? It goes without saying.

The focus of the battlefield was on the armored ship. The Wei army fought and retreated and tried its best to prevent the armored ship from approaching, but the speed of the armored ship was obviously difficult for the Wei people to delay it. This armored ship was obviously carefully designed for water wars. Even if it fell from the sky, it was difficult to enter the interior of the armored ship. The towering iron walls on the hull and the large top of the ship above and on the side of the hull covered the armored ship tightly. Occasionally, stones, fire bullets, oil slingshots were shot in. I believe it would be easy to be "dispossed" by the Shu army on the ship.

The iron-armored ship's shooting is like "invulnerable" and the more troublesome thing is the huge iron cone at the front of the hull! Because the iron-armored ship is not afraid of the opponent's attack, it has a full horsepower and a high speed. With such a speed and a powerful iron cone, the impact force is naturally far beyond that of an ordinary warship.

With a loud bang, the giant ship of the six and seventh Wei State began to sink in a flash. A huge hole was first cracked at the impact. As the armored ship continued to advance, the cracks became more and more large, and finally broke into two pieces. The generals of the Wei State on the giant ship shouted in surprise, watching the armored ship rushing through the middle of their warships, and the rest was despair...

The roar continued to sound, and more than a dozen iron-armored ships built with great power showed their might. They rushed left and right in the Wei fleet, as if they were entering a no-man. Sima Ji, the governor of the Wei naval army, looked even more embarrassed when he saw it, and said angrily: "The whole army counterattack!"
