Chapter 457 Sun Bing and Xu Yan were determined to die in this battle, and led the Fengguo Water Army to carefully march out of the camp and head towards the Zhenjiang Water Division camp opposite.
Xiao Muqing meant to let them take the initiative to sneak attack the Mozambican naval army, and take the enemy by surprise and catch them off guard, but the two of them discussed it in private, and felt that it was better not to take the initiative to sneak attack, in case others were on guard, wouldn't they throw themselves into the net The two of them decided to go to the Zhenjiang Navy Camp on the other side of the bank to make a test, if the Mozambican naval army was really defenseless and let them reach the other bank smoothly, it would naturally be better, they could take this opportunity to transport their troops and supplies to the other bank, and complete the instructions given by the king.
Late at night, the sky is clear, the night sky is cloudless, the stars are dotted, and the bright moon hangs high.
Sun and Xu quietly left the Fengyu coalition camp with the fleet and went straight to the opposite bank.
This crossing of the river was a temptation, and the fleet went into battle lightly, that is, it did not bring supplies or reinforcements.
On the boat, Sun Bing and Xu Yan looked at the clear and cloudless night sky and the sparkling river, and couldn't help but lament in their hearts, even God helped them, and when people were unlucky, they really drank cold water and stuffed their teeth.
There is a slight advantage to not having the cover of the night, they are easy to expose, and in the same way, they can be the first to spot the enemy if they appear.
Along the way, both of them raised their hearts to their throats, and seeing that they were about to reach the middle of the river, they had not yet seen the enemy's ships appear, and the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Yan said: "It seems that General Xiao is right, the sailors of the Mo State are really negligent in taking precautions. ” Sun Bing nodded and said, "If I knew this, you and my brother should really lead the team to attack the enemy army." ” The two of them were singing and harmonizing, pretending to regret and sigh, when suddenly, they heard a soldier shouting from the lookout above his head: "General, there is a Mozambican fleet in the east, which is heading towards us."
This voice almost scared Sun Bing and Xu Yan to sit on the board of the boat on the spot.
The two of them hurriedly turned around and looked to the east.
But after looking at it for a while, the two of them didn't see it really, and finally Xu Yan hurriedly walked to the mast of the ship, and climbed up quickly, waiting for people to be in mid-air, and then looked to the east, but isn't it, there is a large fleet on the river in the distance rushing towards their side at full speed, although they can't see the flag clearly, but a fool can guess that it is the Mozambican fleet.
After watching "Prepare for war, all arms are ready for war", Xu Yan shouted while jumping off the mast and pulling his neck.
With his shout, the entire main ship seemed to have exploded, and the shouts and roars of the people were continuous, and at the same time, the signal corps on the main ship passed the news of the preparation for battle to the other ships.
They saw it right, and now it was the Mo Army Sailor who was coming straight for them.
Gao Hang has long been waiting for the Feng Guo water army to cross the river, if the Feng army wants to capture the capital town river, it is far from enough to rely on the first batch of troops to cross the river, and it must also need backup, Gao Hang calculated a little accurately, and sent people to keep an eye on the moves of the Feng Guo water army, it can be said that Sun Bing and Xu Yan just led the water army out of the camp, Gao Hang got the news, and immediately went into battle in person and led the army to attack.
The ships of Mozambique are all large ships, although they are going upstream, but they are downwind, extremely fast, and they are ready to collide directly.
The bow of the warship was wrapped in iron sheets, and a long hammer poked out, which could really knock a ship in two if it hit the opponent's hull.
At this time, Sun Bing and Xu Yan did not dare to escape, so they could only fight hard.
The two of them still have some ability to command water battles, panic is panic, but commanding hundreds of ships is still orderly.
The Wind Nation Navy concentrated large ships in the center, flanked by medium and light ships to escort, the archers all went up to the deck, ready rockets, and the other soldiers behind them, preparing fireballs and thistles, mainly attacking the enemy with fire.
Generally speaking, ship battles are fire battles, and only fire battles can damage enemy ships to the greatest extent.
Soon, the fleet of the Mo army rushed to the front of the Wind Country Naval Army in a long horizontal formation.
The large ships on both sides deliberately avoided each other's edge, and if the large ships collided head-to-head at the same time, the result could only be a lose-lose situation, but for those medium and light ships, the fleet of the Mo army was not polite, and rushed straight over.
The Mo army relied on the advantages of the huge hull and strong structure to dare to hit the ships of the Wind Country head-on, but the medium and light ships of the Wind Country did not dare to collide with the other party, fortunately, the ship was small and had the advantage of being small, that is, flexible and mobile.
As the two sides came into contact with each other, the ships of the two sides crossed over, and then, the arrows were fired together, and now looking at the river, the rockets were flying, shuttling back and forth, like a scene of meteor showers, which was beautiful.
It's just that the people in the whirlpool of fierce battles don't have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery, in order to deal with the opponent's arrows, the archers on both sides retreat in unison, so that the shield soldiers are in front, and on the field, the crisp sound of arrows hitting the shield comes and goes, and it is impossible to tell the number.
Arrow shooting is only the prelude to the water battle, and when the ships of both sides are in a parallel state of side to side, both sides use their respective skills to press the bottom of the box.
Comparatively speaking, the weapons of the Mozambican ships are much more numerous and more advanced than those of the Wind Nation, and the most powerful of them is the slapping rod.
The slap rod is wooden, there is a huge stone hammer at the top, which is fixed on both sides of the ship, when the war is not started, the slap rod is hoisted high, once the war starts, people let go of the rope, the stone hammer on the slap rod will be smashed down, to put it bluntly, the slap rod is to borrow the principle of lever to destroy the enemy's ships to the greatest extent.
In the last battle, the Wind Country Water Army suffered the loss of the slapping rod, but it couldn't prevent it at all, unless the Wind Country ships followed the example of the Mozambican ships and also built a slapping rod to shoot against the opponent's ships, but in such a short period of time, how could the Wind Country Water Army be built.
The stone hammer fixed at the top of the slapping rod fell down from mid-air, and the soldiers below couldn't stop it if they wanted to, and some of the shield soldiers also subconsciously raised their shields to block, but after a loud noise, even the figure of the shield soldiers could not be seen, and a large round hole more than half a meter wide was exposed on the deck.
What's worse is that the slapping rod is not a one-time attack weapon, it can be used repeatedly, and after the smashing is completed, the Mo soldier on the other side pulls the slapping rod up hard, and can also do the second and third strikes, until the slapping rod is overwhelmed and broken.
Such a weapon, even the large ships of the Wind Army cannot afford it, and once the light ships are hit, the result can be imagined.
The main way for the wind army to deal with it is to lean up, throw out the hook and claw, buckle the Mo army's ship, and then pull the rope hard to bring the ships of both sides together as much as possible, so that the Feng army officers and soldiers can jump directly onto the Mo army ship and do hand-to-hand combat with the Mo army.
The army of the Ning people has always been good at archery, and on the battlefield, they try their best to distance themselves from the enemy, and now, they are asked to take the initiative to fight hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, and it is not difficult to see the passivity of the Feng Guoshui army in the face of the Mozambican fleet.
The battle between the two sides continued endlessly, and one ship after another slowly sank to the bottom of the river due to serious damage, and most of the sunken ships were from the Wind Country's navy.
The battle has reached this level, and the Fengguo Water Army is completely supported by the desire to survive.
Although there are their own armies on the north and south banks of Zhenjiang, and although they are close to the battlefield, there is no other fleet in the Wind Country, that is, they have no backup to count on at all, either to defeat the enemy army, or to sink the river with the ships to feed the fish.
In this situation of fighting with no way out, the Feng Guo Navy also behaved extremely tenacious, and even Sun Bing and Xu Yan acted as death squads, taking the lead in killing the ships of the Mo army, killing the enemy soldiers as much as possible and snatching the ships.
It's a pity that the gap in strength between the two sides can no longer be made up by determination and fighting spirit, when the Mozambican ships on the side of the Feng Army began to be sunk one after another, Sun Bing, Xu Yan and even the whole army began to fall into despair.
The main ship of Sun and Xu was not sunk, but it was already crumbling, the deck was full of wounded soldiers and corpses, the railing was intermittent, the whole ship was on fire everywhere, and even the white sails on the ship were shot like a hornet's nest.
So far, there are only more than ten of the more than 100 ships in the Wind Country, and all of them are seriously damaged.
In terms of the overall strength of both sides, it is not easy for the Feng Army to fight like this, Gao Hang also admires the main general of the Feng Country Water Army, he raised the command flag in his hand high, and signaled the soldiers under his command to stop fighting for the time being.
Seeing that the Mozambican army stopped attacking, the wind army, which had already become the end of the strong crossbow, finally got a chance to take a breath, and the surviving soldiers were fighting the fire and rescuing their own soldiers who fell into the water.

Gao Hang was escorted by many Mo generals, walked to the bow of the ship, and shouted loudly in the direction of the main ship of the Wind Army: "Brother of the Wind Country, in this battle, your defeat has been decided, and now you are surrounded by our army, and it is difficult to fly, so don't make useless resistance, disarming and surrendering is your only way to live." ” Surrender Sun Bing and Xu Yan looked at each other and smiled, but they smiled bitterly, until now, the two of them didn't even have the aura to cover the spirit armor, their faces and clothes were full of blood, and they couldn't tell whether it was their own or the enemy's, and their appearance was extremely embarrassing.
If they can surrender, how can they stop at fighting to the point where they are now, not to mention that the dignity of being the commander of the first army can't bear the humiliation of surrendering, even if they don't want dignity, can they not care about the lives of the old and young of the family, their families are all in the Wind Country, once they surrender, the whole family will not be able to escape, and they will all have to be killed.
Sun Bing looked down at the war knife in his hand, his heart was horizontal, his teeth were bitten, he raised it violently, and it was across his neck, he raised his eyes to look at Xu Yan, and said: "It seems that you and I are in a catastrophe today, and our brothers can only say goodbye in the Martyrs' Hall" As he spoke, he used his wrist to wipe his neck and kill himself
