Several cone-shaped formations of warships were attacking the north shore, drafting in unison. Behind them, there were countless small fishing boats, filled with brave infantrymen holding knives and swords.

The war drums were beating loudly, the flags were flying, and Gui Yunzheng stood on the bow of the ship, fully clothed and holding a spear.

Wu Yingxiong's water battle is still quite skillful. However, he has been fighting defensive battles before. This time, he has to attack, which makes him somewhat excited.

"The bowmen are ready, a hundred steps away from the enemy ship, let go!"

He gave the order decisively, and a sergeant waved a flag to signal the ships in front of him.

This time, Gui Yunzheng was ingenious and placed siege slaves on the vanguard warships.

The Bedgun has a long range and strong power. Even if it is a hundred steps away, it is still powerful. Used in water battles, it may have unexpected effects.

Gradually, the warship crossed halfway across the river.

Song Zhe also urged warships large and small to come up. On the shore, he also set up the last line of defense, with about 5,000 soldiers and horses, waiting in formation. Lin Feihu, on the other hand, had already gone to fill in what Ma Jun had left behind.

pit.

"Lance ready, wait until the enemy ship is fifty steps away, throw! Shield hand, bow ready, block!"

Similarly, he also issued orders. He had fought against Wu Yingxiong many times, and Song Zhe had some understanding of his fighting methods. Both of them had three axes. However, after all, the imperial navy had not been established for a long time, and the team's establishment time was short and its combat strength was very short.

They are always slightly inferior, no better than these Xiangyang naval forces, who have been training on the water all year round, and their water skills and combat experience are much better.

The formation on the opposite side today was different from usual, and the number of battleships also increased significantly.

This made Song Zhe worried. However, as the commander of an army, he must remain calm.

Not long after, it's close, it's close.

Whizzing……

Following a strong sound of breaking through the sky, several giant arrows roared towards him.

Song Zhe had fewer warships. This time he had to line up in a row, but with a slight depth. Behind the forward ship, there was a warship. His intention was to use the forward ship as a barrier to block the attack of enemy ships. And he

The main attack firepower was placed on the rear ship.

However, he never expected that the other party would actually use siege bed slaves.

Benedict!

The sound of giant arrows eating into wood was frightening. Even though the first round of shots did not cause many casualties, it still caused a certain degree of damage to the ship.

Fortunately, the water draft has not been hit, otherwise, it would be really difficult to handle once the water from the river floods in.

However, at this time, they were still eighty or ninety steps away from the enemy ship, and were not within the range of their bows and arrows.

For a while, they had to endure repeated attacks from the bed slaves.

Click!

The flagpole of a warship was accurately shot.

Immediately afterwards, shocking cheers erupted from the opposite side.

ah!

Then, screams rang out.

It turned out that a huge arrow hit the shield hand, and the huge impact pushed several people down in an instant. The bow of the ship immediately became a mess.

Finally, the two armies were within fifty steps of each other.

"Throw!"

Song Zhe ordered loudly.

The spears were immediately thrown one by one.

However, the result was little. Wu Yingxiong had already prepared. As the sergeant on the bow pulled the rope, a huge wooden board stood up.

Those spears were either not thrown onto the boat and fell into the water, or they were all nailed to the wooden planks.

"receive!"

Wu Yingxiong also shouted.

The wooden planks were quickly put down, and a row of pikemen already held a shield in one hand and a gun in the other, making a throwing gesture.

"put!"

He gave the order, and all the spears came out in unison. This group of spearmen came from Chang'an, and they had stronger arms and better accuracy.

ah!
Chapter completed!
