() The river surface in the Haimen section is far wider than the two and a half to seven miles upstream near Jiangling. The river surface of more than 30 miles is extremely vast. In the green river water, large and small warships in their early 200s do not seem too crowded.

Apart from the dull sound of drums, the sound of rushing water, and the hunting sound of flags fluttering in the wind, there was no other sound coming from the river.

Everyone's face had a hint of solemnity, and a cold air that had no return was hovering above the fleet. Water warfare is different from land warfare. Land warfare can set up ambushes, lure the enemy deep, and outflank. Water warfare can

There is no skill in the battle itself. It depends on the strength of the people, the commander's ability to stay calm in battle, and the courage, will and spirit of death of the navy soldiers.

When fighting on the water, especially on the river, there is either a big victory, the entire army is annihilated, or both sides suffer losses. Generally, there are only three outcomes. As for withdrawing troops and agreeing to fight again tomorrow, unless both parties can agree in advance, this is extremely unlikely. Yes.

It is said that once the two armies are handed over, no one can retreat even if darkness falls, and they have to continue fighting together to the death.

There is nothing that can be done about it. It is difficult for ships to turn around in the river, and water battles these days are all about side-by-side battles. It is often the case that you are surrounded by me, and I am surrounded by you, in a criss-crossing situation, and you have to retreat.

That's no hope at all.

"General, look, Han Yong is here!" a general called out suddenly.

Xie Shang's eyes narrowed. About fifteen miles downstream, yellow and black sail shapes appeared in his sight from small to large. The Jie Zhao naval force, which was nearly twice as large as his own, was heading up the water.

, sea-going ships are inherently large, and the momentum created by more than 300 sea-going ships is much greater than the more than 200 ships on our side.

Perhaps due to excitement or nervousness, Xie Shang's palms unconsciously broke into cold sweat. He took a deep breath and shouted: "Prepare the fire ship. Wait until the enemy ship approaches within five miles."

put!"

The messenger immediately waved a burst of flags.

There was a shout from the fighting ship in front. The helmsman, sailor, and oarsmen worked together, causing the speed of the ship to slow down slightly. The sailors in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were different from the sailors on European gunboats in the Age of Discovery.

The sailors on the gunboat need to climb the mast to operate, and there are many people, so they are of great importance to the ship.

, while the sailors of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties worked under the mast and adjusted the angle of the sail by pulling the rope. A fighting ship was equipped with three people as standard. And the number of oarsmen rowing on the same ship was sometimes fifty.

, so the status of sailors in the navy is not high. The reason is that one is a river ship and the other is a standard sea ship.

As the flag was sounded, a sergeant immediately lowered the boat tied to the stern. He quickly untied the rope, and then rowed forward with all his strength. These small boats were already piled with firewood soaked in kerosene.

Densely packed blunt iron nails, either straight, inclined, or curved, were installed on the hull of the ship. As soon as they were attached to the enemy ship, they could be adsorbed well by the momentum of the water flow, which could effectively prevent the fire ship from sailing along.

Slide to both sides along the side of the ship.

After a wave of oar shadows, about a hundred boats were soon distributed in a straight line directly in front of the entire fleet.

Eight miles, seven miles, six miles, five miles! The two fleets approached only in the blink of an eye.

"Fire up!" a loud shout broke out from the fighting ship.

"Boom boom~~" A series of explosions suddenly sounded. Almost at the same time, two to three feet of flames burst out from the boats. The sergeants jumped into the river as if they were running for their lives and swam towards the fleet on their side.

Go. The big boat followed and threw down the rope and pulled them up one by one.

The ignited fire boats were like a blazing wall of fire, lined up and occupying the entire river surface, floating downstream along the current. The officers and soldiers of the Haimen Navy all looked expectantly at these more than a hundred fire boats.

.

"Damn it, how dare you show off your trivial skills?" When Han Yong saw a fire ship coming, a hint of contempt flashed across his face unconsciously. The Haimen navy occupied the upper reaches and had a natural advantage, so there was nothing wrong with setting the ship on fire.

But, is this trick useful? I am not in a chain, so why don’t I know how to dodge?

Han Yong immediately shouted: "Send the order and move those fire ships away!"

Jie Zhao Haichuan also sent out a burst of flags!

Several pirates armed with long poles rushed to the bow of each ship.

Affected by the undulating waves, the fire ship no longer formed a straight line as at the beginning, but gradually spread out in front and back, forming an irregular pattern floating downstream.

"It's coming, it's coming, let's be careful!" a Jie Zhao pirate shouted loudly,

The pirates quickly stretched out their long poles and pushed forward with all their strength. "Plop, plop, plop!" With several muffled sounds in succession, they were able to hold on to the fire ship.

"Everyone, please work harder and move the fire boat to the side!" Another Jie Zhao pirate shouted.

These people had a clear division of labor and cooperated skillfully. Some people still held the bow of the ship and tried their best to prevent the fire ship from coming up against it. Others moved to one side and slowly pushed the fire ship toward the side of the ship, while the helmsman turned the rudder slightly in the opposite direction.

The expressions on the faces of the Haimen Navy officers and soldiers gradually changed from expectation to nervousness, and from nervousness to disappointment. Jie Zhaohaikou's proficient skills greatly exceeded their expectations. It can be seen that he must have done a lot of simulation training.

.

"General, look, there's one on fire!" The same general called out.

It turned out that perhaps due to an incoming wave, the fire ship was forced to accelerate forward. The long pole on an enemy fighting ship suddenly broke under the strain. The force of the support suddenly disappeared, causing the fire ship to slow down.

The number of bullets increased several times, and the pirates stretched out their long poles to hit them.

It was of no use. The huge momentum broke through the long pole and crashed into the bow of the ship! Because the iron nails were tightly hooked on the hull, no matter how the pirates on the ship pushed it, they could only make the fire ship slide along the hull.

Except for the extremely difficult sliding, it does not play any role.

It didn't take long for the boat to be completely set on fire. Seeing that the situation was not good, the pirates on the boat jumped into the river like dumplings and swam towards the surrounding ships.

"General, there is one burning over there!" Another general called out in surprise.

Not far from this ship, another fighting ship also ignited a fire that reached the sky, and then continued on land, a total of five fighting ships were set alight.

However, Xie Shang was not happy. The five ships were completely negligible compared to the more than 300 ships of the Jie army. He looked helplessly at the many fire ships that bypassed the Jie ships and floated downstream. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "All

It's my fault that I didn't think carefully beforehand. If we had requisitioned some big ships and used them as fire ships, I'm afraid I would have burned at least twenty or thirty of them."

Someone next to me took it and sighed: "Hey~~ It's such a pity. If only we could do it again, how nice would it be? Maybe"

Before he finished speaking, another general hurriedly stopped him: "Okay, a wise man must make a mistake after thinking a lot. The general can think of sending fire ships to attack, which is beyond your reach. No matter what, burning five is better than

It is better to not burn a ship, let alone a big ship in a hurry? Our army

There are already insufficient ships, so how can self-burning battleships fight against the Jie pirates? Moreover, civilian ships are mostly small ships. Even if they reluctantly recruit a few larger ones, they will only be a drop in the bucket. They will not help the battle situation. Surface warfare depends on

It’s better to jump on the bandwagon!”

After saying this, Xie Shang felt better. He glanced at the general with gratitude and shouted with all his strength: "Soldiers, the Jingkou army will come to help before the sun sets. We only need to persist and we will get the victory."

Do you have confidence in the final victory?"

"have!"

"Defeat the Jie thieves and protect my Haimen!"

The whole army shouted in unison, and the momentum rose again in an instant.

"Okay! I will be here to cheer you on by beating the drum!" Xie Shang walked towards the war drum again, personally picked up the stick and beat it hard!

"Dong dong dong~~!"

"Dong dong dong~~!"

The drum beat became more and more rapid, and the navy officers and soldiers were all excited and unconsciously tightened their weapons.

And Han Yong felt a little angry when he saw that he had lost five battleships before even engaging in battle. Although the number was not large, he felt distressed. In the past two years, he was reluctant to eat or wear, and spent all his money with them.

All materials have been invested in the navy, just to make a comeback!

This time he went south, using three-quarters of his force, and all he brought were fighting ships. The difference was only in size. Fighting ships consumed a lot of wood, but Qingzhou no longer had any due to years of war and thousands of years of development.

Suitable forest trees are available for him to use. Now Han Yong

All the wood used for shipbuilding comes from Liaodong. It is obtained by buying, robbing or cheating from the Xianbei people or the Sanhan tribe. It is thousands of miles away and extremely remote. The cost on the road alone is an astronomical figure. Therefore, each route

Boats are extremely precious to him.

The so-called Three Hans refer to Mahan, Chenhan and Bianhan. They are the ancestors of the Korean people. The Korean people’s self-proclaimed ancestor Gogouli has no substantial relationship with them. It is said that the tribes on the Korean Peninsula all call themselves

They are called Han because they admire the culture of the Han Dynasty, but they cannot be called Han, so they have to use the transliterated Korean character instead. This Han is a transliteration of the word "Han". It does not represent any meaning, it is just a person.

Function words.

"This bunch of trash! I'll skin them again when I get back to you!" Han Yong cursed in a low voice in distress, and then shouted: "Gu Gu, hurry up and charge forward! Once the Haimen navy is defeated, I promise to let you go."

You wait for Tuhaimen for three days and three nights!"

"Dong dong dong~~!" The drummer of the Jie Zhao Navy raised his stick high and beat the war drum with all his strength. The sound of the drum spread far away, and all the soldiers of the Jie Zhao Navy were boosted in morale and their blood surged.

Some people's crotches are raised unconsciously!

Han Yong's loud shout got into their hearts. Wandering on the sea for more than half a month, surrounded by male animals, was indeed very difficult for the strong-blooded sailors and navy officers.

When you masturbate on your own or when you help each other, there is always a feeling of unfinished business. Women can never be replaced by the same sex!
