There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

"promise!"

……

……

After getting Yuan Shu's instruction, Le immediately ordered the messengers to wave the colorful flags, command all the warships, and set up a counterattack formation.

On the main battleship beside the pottery merchant, the pottery merchant was full of helplessness, looking at Guo Jia who was lying on the side of the boat, throwing up gold threads at the water surface, his eyes were full of deep helplessness.

People who are seasick are so pitiful.

"Brother Gan...you've been vomiting for almost half an hour. If you continue like this, I'm afraid you'll have to vomit out all of last night's food...it's time to slow down."

Guo Jia lifted his head from the side of the boat weakly, and looked at the potter behind him with his eyes, his normally active eyes were almost dilated at this moment.

"Guo is from the Central Plains!"

Guo Jia yelled at the pottery sadly: "I have never been subjected to such a big storm since I was a child... vomit~~!"

The potter shook his head helplessly, and said, "Although I don't really have the heart to interrupt your rumination here, Yuan Shu's warship has already set out."

"You are the one who regurgitates! You are the cattle and sheep!" Although Guo Jia was weak, he still did not forget to use his words to resist the potter: "Yuan Shu set up a battle, let's fight him, we can fight as we like, just don't Falling too deep... vomit~~!"

The pottery merchant looked worriedly at the huge fleet of Yuan Shu on the river, hesitantly said: "It's okay to defeat it, but the problem is, we can't win..."

Guo Jia snorted when he heard the words: "Why do you want to win? This battle should have been lost... After the confrontation, take advantage of the defeat and lead Yuan Shu's navy to the river we arranged in advance!"

The Tao merchant was a little confused, so he frowned, and said in a low voice: "Gan Ning and Zhou Tai's navy should be the main force in the water battle, but you don't let them fight at this moment, but you are acting as a partial teacher... so Doing it, isn’t it a waste of talent?”

"Ouch~~!" Guo Jia didn't seem in the mood to argue with the potter, he just vomited and panted and asked the potter, "Do you believe me or not?"

"It's okay."

"What do you mean just enough?"

"It means to believe."

Guo Jia raised his head from the side of the boat with difficulty, and said weakly: "Believe me, please follow Guo's instructions. If this battle is not won, Guo Jia's life is up to you!"

Having said all this, even if the pottery merchant didn't have a solid foundation in his heart, he couldn't say anything.

Tao believes in the strategy of ghosts in this world, this time!

"Order Xu Rong to meet the enemy with all his strength, but not go too deep!"

Chapter 238 Lost to Yuan Shu

Following the waving of the order flags on the main ship of the Jinling Army, the Danyang County navy team also began to gallop towards Yuan Shu's navy.

All the way the water army went down the current, and the whole way the water army went up the current. The two water armies confronted each other, and the potters were on the disadvantaged side. What's more, although Xu Rong was proficient in land law, he was a complete layman when it came to water warfare. Under his command, the Jinling water army headed obliquely towards Yuan Shu's water army.

Too unruly.

The potters also had to do it. Among the generals in Jinling, only Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Xu Rong, and Tao Ji were available. They all have their own strengths in land warfare, and they can all be called masters. A good hand.

But throwing them on the river means that there is no worst, only worse.

Xu Rong was the commander of the navy who was pulled out of the potter's slack and forced out of the four.

On the great river, when the two armies are engaged in battle, the first to use must be bows and javelins.

Before the warships of the two armies were about to face each other, they saw the rain of arrows and wooden marks from both sides flying towards the warship of the other side from their respective battlefields at the same time.

For a while, arrows rained down the sky.

Comparing the two armies, the accuracy of Yuan Shu's army on the water and that of Tao Shang's army were almost the same. Both sides seemed to be trying to kill a mouse, shooting at each other indiscriminately.

It's not that they don't want to be sure, the river's bumpy, ups and downs are completely different from land archery.

The quasi-head completely depends on the mask.

However, Yuan Shujun had one more advantage over the soldiers and horses of the pottery merchants in the random arrow formation of the navy without any technical conditions.

That means Yuan Shu has more warships.

More warships meant that Yuan Shu could have more soldiers on the river, and it also meant that his navy had a wider coverage than the potters.

"Shhhhh!"

"Shhhhh!"

The rain of arrows in the sky kept falling on the ships of the two sides, soldiers were hit by arrows and wailed or fell into the river. The scenes of the ships of the two armies were a bit chaotic, but it was obvious that Yuan Shu lined up horizontally because of the large number of ships. , almost covered all the ships of Tao Jun in the area of ​​archery, which also means that Yuan Jun's advantage is far superior to that of pottery merchants' navy.

"General be careful!"

Hu Cai let out a loud shout, stepped forward, and used an iron shield to block a arrow that was shot at Xu Rong. If Hu Cai hadn't been sharp-eyed, the arrow just now would have taken Xu Rong's life, and he would have had to be bedridden. I can't get up for two or three months.

Being teased by Hu Caiyi, Xu Rong couldn't stand upright, so he sat down on the deck of the ship.

After the left and right soldiers helped him up in a mess, Xu Rong stretched out his hands and pushed them away, straightened the crooked wolf helmet on his head, and said angrily: "Having fought for half a lifetime! It's the first time I've been so useless! Intuit Hold your breath!"

Hu Cai grinned when he heard the words, and didn't have the nerve to say anything, just left the sword and right shield, and continued to sway for Xu Rong the arrow rain that might fly at any time.

A general from Youzhou who was born in the frontier fortress, let him command a water battle on the big river at this moment, and he can stand still on the river without vomiting, which is already very remarkable.

The family is happy and the family is sad. Yuan Shu has clearly seen that his side has tightly suppressed the opponent's navy because of the advantages of warships and numbers. Although Lejiu's water combat skills are also half-baked, but suppressing is suppressing, and there is nothing wrong with it. !

Tao, whatever you say today, you have to pay back Ruxuwu's account to Yuan!

"Let the order be happy, and quickly urge the warship to charge and attack!"

Yuan Jun's command flag swayed in the wind again on the main ship.

The gist of water warfare, since the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, is basically the same. Before the two fleets have confronted each other, first use long-range weapons such as crossbows or javelins to shoot and kill the personnel on the enemy warships. Reduce the opponent's vitality, and then when the warships of the two armies confront each other, the warships of both sides will directly collide.

When the two sides collided, the tactics used depended entirely on the abilities of the naval generals and soldiers, but the most common method was to hit the enemy ship with the tip of the ship. If the hull of the enemy ship could be damaged , the people in this boat are basically the bait for the fish and shrimp in the river, so don't worry about it at all.If the enemy's ship cannot be damaged, then the most direct method of warfare is to let the navy soldiers jump onto the opponent's warship to start close combat, killing and destroying.

But it's easy to say, hit the hull of the enemy ship with the bow, which requires the soldiers and generals who control the ship to have strong experience in front of the battle, whether it's poles, sails, or paddles, hit the hull with the bow accurately The opponent's hull requires a strong experience in front of battle and an incomparable familiarity with the wind direction in the river basin.

This is not something that can be done by just reading some water warfare tactics. It needs to be immersed in the Yangtze River all the year round, and use experience to accumulate and explore.

But obviously, the experience of Yuan Shu's navy and the potter's navy in this area is completely lacking.

The soldiers on both sides have basically never fought in water battles. At this moment, bumping the bow of the boat into the hull is completely blind!

Under the command of the generals of both sides, Yuan Shu's warship and Tao Shang's warship collided back and forth like bumper cars on the battlefield in the middle of the river.

There are only a handful of ships that can accurately hit the enemy's hull with their bows. Most of the warships directly dock with their bodies in parallel, and then in the absence of operating helmsmen and polemen, close to each other. There was no possibility of the two battlefields being separated for a while, and they were entangled together.
