Chapter 154: The Great War (III)

On February 3, 16th year, Longkou.

The two navy troops stood in a distance. Zhang Fanzhi was on the forecastle of the commander's ship, looking at the Yiling Army ship opposite, and a large number of Zhang Fanzhi's personal soldiers stood on the deck. Zhang Fanzhi's life was not too high, but he was indeed a first-class navy general. There were many people on the ship, and except for a few orders, they were silent.

From one ship, we can see the strictness of the entire fleet's military governance.

After watching for a while, Zhang Fan turned his head and said, "I see that the Yiling Army's water camp is not strict and the formation is chaotic. It seems that it is not as good as our army."

Xing Dahai said, "The governor is wise. I have watched it several times and feel that way. When fighting, I am willing to be the vanguard and defeat the enemy in a substitute!"

Another general Zhang Xu immediately interjected and said, "General Xing cannot take advantage of great achievements, and the last general is willing to go with him."

For a moment, except for Lu Suhai who was calm and unspeakable, all the generals asked for battle.

Zhang Fan listened and glanced at him, and couldn't help laughing: "Our army is so strong that we will definitely win."

He turned around and said to Lu Suhai: "You will go on land this time!"

Lu Suhai bowed: "Promise!"

Lu Suhai is at the 18th year, but he has become a deputy guard general. Not to mention his colleagues, even Xing Dahai and Zhang Fanzhi are a little uneasy.

The Yiling Army mainly fought on water, and the next step was to attack on land. The current mission on land was nothing more than to take a stronghold first. Lu Suhai understood in his heart and responded quickly.

Zhang Fanzhi nodded with satisfaction and issued an order: "Strike!"

Xing Dahai immediately received the order, and warships sailed out one after another, with heavy sailmasts and figures on the deck, which was daunting.

The sound of war drums started, and the enemy was approaching.

Xing Dahai ordered: "Slow down the sails on the vertical board!"

The drum sounded, and the order was passed. The iron plates of the shields on each ship were erected on both sides of the upper and lower bulkheads, which greatly enhanced the protection of the arrowroot rockets.

When the sails fall, the huge hull reveals the snatch hole and protrudes out the long oars, which is easier to control speed and angle than the sails during battle.

"Ignite!" The torch ignited and the rocket was ignited.

"shoot!"

Suddenly, a large number of rockets drew a fire in the sky above the river, hitting the sails full of enemy ships, and flames rose up.

"Shoot!" The enemy also fought back fiercely, only to hear the sound of crackling. Most of the arrows were intercepted by the iron plate of arrows. The sound of jingling continued. A few arrows fell on people, but were wearing paper armor.

"New Book of Tang": During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, Xu Shang guarded Puzhou, and there were thousands of soldiers, "the strong arrows could not penetrate."

It shows its flexibility and safety. At this time, the person who was shot in the arrow could not penetrate it at all. He just took the fire and threw it into the river.

The two ships intersected, and the latter continued: "Shoot!"

Three ships passed by, and the ship was trapped in the thick smoke of flames, and the enemy soldiers screamed.

Xing Dahai led ten ships and left after a sudden attack. The enemy advanced and we retreated. The enemy retreated and we advanced. From time to time, we used the water flow, wind power, and long oars to launch a fatal attack on the enemy.

In a moment, the black smoke filled the sky and was burning.

Zhang Fanzhi glanced at him and knew that he was sure to win, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Our army is better than the Yiling army several times."

It was the first time he led his own training of a navy to fight formally, and he felt unsure. At this time, he finally felt at ease. He was not inferior to the Jingzhou navy.

For a moment, there were shouts of killing, and the screams filled the river. The entire river, as you see, there were corpses of floating and unsinkable ships everywhere, but when you look closely, most of them were enemy ships.

At this moment, someone suddenly reported: "Governor, a ship rushed over."

In this case, there was a big ship, carrying flames, rushing straight towards him, even regardless of the attacks left and right. The purpose was obviously very obvious, which was to rush straight to the flagship.

When Zhang Fanzhi saw this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't want the enemy to do this. I still have the courage to continue to do it and shoot it to death!"

A moment later, the sharp sob of crossbow arrows breaking through the air came from time to time. I saw the ship being shot by rockets, but it was determined not to retreat. The fire ignited everywhere from the bow to the stern.

The leader stood on the bow of the ship holding a spear, roaring and directing the fire to extinguish and shoot archery to counterattack, and instructing the ship to continue paddling forward.

"Governor, what should I do?"

Seeing that the ship was swearing to retreat and desperately pounced on him, Zhang Fanzhi said with a grim smile: "Is there any courage to bully me?"

At this moment, with a "boom", the two ships intersected, and with the wave of the enemy generals on the enemy ship, dozens of Yiling naval troops followed the enemy generals and rushed onto the ship.

"kill!"

There are only a few dozen people in this team now, obviously they are all elite troops of the enemy. As soon as they fought, they saw the enemy generals fighting through armor. Wherever they went, several Shu troops immediately splattered blood and fell to the ground.

The navy had difficulty using armor, but the team all used iron armor. The enemy generals were wearing heavy armor and were the first to be the vanguard. They fought all the way, and their targets were directly targeted by Zhang Fanzhi.

The deck was immediately shocked and intercepted desperately.

On the small deck, hundreds of people shouted in unison, and the two armies fought desperately, and their cry was filled with roar and angrily, with the sound of human beings intertwined and piercing, and in just a few breaths, flesh and blood splattered.

The enemy army went on one after another. Even if they were chopped or stabbed, they were obviously seriously injured and should have fallen to the ground, but they still rushed to the ground with great courage.

The Shu army on Zhang Fanzhi's ship was strictly selected and retreated step by step.

At this moment, the closed cabin door opened wide, and a group of Shu troops rushed out from inside, each holding crossbows.

"shoot!"

The crossbows were fired together at this time. At close range, the crossbows could penetrate the iron armor, and the sound of "pop exposure" was heard constantly. Although many of their own people were killed by accident, the enemy troops rushed up suddenly became a large number of hedgehogs.

At this moment, there were still enemy soldiers rushing forward to block their bodies in front of the enemy general. When Zhang Fanzhi saw this, his face changed color.

At this moment, two more large ships leaned on, both of which were warships of the Shu army. They saw the general's ship being attacked and rushed over.

A large number of Shu soldiers rushed up, and dozens of Shu soldiers surrounded the last dozen.

The enemy general was breathing. Even if he had personal soldiers blocked the arrows, he had more than a dozen wounds on his body. At this time, he cursed: "Zhang Zhe, I will take your dog's life if I die."

As soon as the voice was finished, Zhang Fanzhi explained: "We each have their own masters. Life and death are destined to be defeated. If we fail, we will lose. What's the point of saying this?"

After a pause, Zhang Fanzhi raised his thumb and said, "What a brave general. I don't want to be just a brave general in Yiling Army, and a brave general like you. Who are you? Chen Pu?"

"Hmph, I am Chen Pu!" Chen Pu looked at Zhang Fanzhi, and spat out a mouthful of blood: "If the water master is trained and commanded by me, that would be like this!"

"I heard that you are just a mere deputy general, or a deputy general who is often suspicious!" Zhang Fanzhi said with a smile when he heard this: "You are loyal, but now you have done your best and have done your duty. My lord Shu Duke is wise and wants peace in the world. You are a warrior like this, you cannot die like this."

As he said, he ordered: "Take it!"

At this time, these dozen people were all out of strength. When they saw the soldiers coming up, Chen Pu sighed and threw down his weapon.

Suddenly, more than a dozen people vented their breath and lost their weapons and were tied up.

At this time, thick smoke was rolling on the river, but the battle was over, and the Shu army won a great victory. At this time, it was time to put out the fire and save people. For a moment, ships were coming and going on the river.

Shi Yan looked at the port from afar and saw the result of the war, and he couldn't help but change his color.

"Lord, what should I do?" The Three Thousand Navy was destroyed within half an hour. The enemy's situation did not lose much, which immediately changed everyone who came to watch the battle.

Shi Yan watched his left and right, sighed, and said, "I don't want the Shu army to be so fierce, so I will go back to the city first."

"Lord, do you want to burn this port?" At this time, someone stepped forward and said.

It is easy to burn the port, but it will burn it at a few hundred soldiers.

Shi Yan looked at the thick smoke rolling on the river and his face was gloomy, but he said, "Forget it, God has the virtue of being a good life."

After hearing this order, the people around him couldn't help but exchange their eyes. The meaning of surrender was already very obvious. The group was going on a roll.

Zhang Fanzhi ignored these things. After another half an hour, the flames on the river were extinguished and the statistics were also raised.

"Reported that the port has been occupied by Captain Lu."

"Reported that our army was killed 371 people and injured 650 people. No ships sank. They captured 1,500 enemies and eleven ships!"

There is no record of the enemy's death, because who can count the corpses flowing down from the water?

Zhang Fan heard it and laughed: "I won the first battle, the whole ship entered the port to repair it, and we will march into Yiling tomorrow!"

Soldiers are more powerful than speed, and this is still clear.

Boats leaned on the port, and a large number of soldiers rushed to the ground. At this time, they saw the 300 people led by Lu Suhai being rectified. The port was originally a water camp and had many family members. Although the crying sounds were heard from time to time, teams of people were working under the guidance of the soldiers.

The warehouse of the large dock factory was still intact. The first thing to carry out was to carry the wounded soldiers to the clean camp and warehouse.

Carts were also on Hou’s mission, followed by the wounded soldiers, and there was already a smell of food in the distance.

Seeing this, Zhang Fanzhi still admired it very much, and there was a shadow in his heart, and he smiled: "It's really a talent!"

At this time, Lu Suhai stepped forward to salute.

Zhang Fanzhi narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "I did a good job, I should remember it!"

"The governor commanded the navy to defeat the enemy, and his reputation was so powerful that the prefect of Yiling was so scared that he quickly fled from the port. This made me take advantage of me and asked me to take advantage of it. I didn't abandon the army and took over the port. This was the governor's command properly. What credit do I have?" Lu Suhai responded quickly.

After hearing this, Zhang Fan smiled and nodded.

At this time, Lu Suhai said again: "I saw the Yiling prefect fleeing quickly, without leaving any fire, and even burning the granary. I knew that he had already wanted to surrender. As long as the governor sent an envoy to go, he could immediately obtain Yiling."

"Um, um?" Zhang Fanzhi pondered. After hearing this, he knew that what Lu Suhai said made sense, but when Lu Suhai said this, he felt uncomfortable for no reason.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Fanzhi suddenly smiled and said, "You are right, I have the same thoughts as well. Then you go over overnight and persuade Yiling to surrender?"

Lu Suhai couldn't help but be stunned. The persuasion of surrender was to wait until the news of the Yiling Navy's miserable defeat spread, which made people feel uneasy. He brought the army to the city and was more confident. Although the enemy was defeated, he had not yet recalled it. The aura of mourning soldiers was still there. Now he brought a few people with him. This is not the time.
