At dawn the next day, as soon as the sun rose in the early morning, Wu Zixu led 5,000 sailors out of the water camp.
Under the morning light, nearly 150 warships drove out of the water camp in an orderly manner, and the sound of rowing and hitting the stream, and the sound of the sailors' horns when they were exerting their strength, resounded through the Han River.
The officers and men of the navy knew that a big war was about to begin, but their mood was extremely calm, without a trace of nervousness, as if everything that was about to start was just a pre-planned exercise.
On the shore, looking at the sailors of his army, so calm, the potter couldn't help nodding slightly, and praised in his mouth: "In just two years, the navy can be trained so elite, Wu Zixu is worthy of being a pioneer of the navy, it seems that I should stay right in this foreshadowing." ” Under the watchful eyes of Liang Fei and tens of thousands of infantry soldiers, the 5,000 soldiers of the navy army all drove out of the water camp, formed an attack formation on the river, and slowly drove towards the water camp of the Chu State on the opposite side.
The Wei army made a big move, and Cai Mao on the opposite side reacted quickly.
After a while, the potter raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw faintly black dots moving, and finally converged into a black and oppressive dark cloud, facing Wu Zixu's fleet looking north.
The navy of Chu did not hesitate to come to meet the battle.
"Cai Mao, let you see and see, your naval ancestor is amazing."
A sneer crossed the corner of the potter's mouth.
The wind rose, the clouds gradually spread in the sky, the rising sun was blocked in the clouds, and between the sky and water, it soon darkened into a vast gray white.
On the surface of the river, the two naval fleets have already launched their own attack formations, and the battle is only in front of them.
Click The ticking sound sounded in his ears, and the potter suddenly felt a trace of coldness on his face, and raised his head, only to see more and more water droplets falling on his face, and a summer rain came unexpectedly.
The rain began to fall heavier and heavier, and soon beads of broken threads fell from the dim sky, and the red cloak of the potter's body was soon wet.
Jing Ke was busy bringing the coat and wanted to put it on for the potter, but the potter pushed it away, and Jing Ke was stunned.
The potter stood in the rain, ignoring the blows of the raindrops, and resolutely said: "The soldiers of the navy are fighting for the country in the rain, and this king is not accustomed to water, although he cannot fight side by side with them, he must be drenched in this heavy rain with them." ” As soon as this generous words came out, the soldiers of the three armies were all infected by the potters, and they threw away the things that covered the rain on their bodies, although tens of thousands of soldiers were drenched in the rain, but all of them were hot in their hearts, and the generosity and pride of hunting burst out, and they silently helped them in their hearts.
A water army in the rain is right in front of you.
The heavier the rain, the more the flagship, the banner of the word "Wu" was messy in the wind and rain.
In the southwest direction, hundreds of giant ships of the Chu State are disappearing in the rain and fog, and the momentum is extremely strong.
Liu Biao is a prince in the south, Chu has two large water systems across the Han River and the Yangtze River, the shipbuilding industry is naturally very developed, Liu Biao has been operating Jingzhou for many years, and the naval warships under his command are complete, and most of them are large fighting ships as the main force.
Although the pottery merchant has a larger territory than Liu Biao and a stronger comprehensive strength than Liu Biao, but because the territory occupied by the Central Plains is mostly in the north of the Central Plains, he does not have the ability to build a large plan to build a warship and a navy.
In water warfare, with the bow and crossbow as the most important weapon, the fighting ship is tall, not only carries more troops, but also has the advantage of condescending and dive shooting than the warship, obviously whether it is the number of sailors, the number of ships, or the quality of the battleship, the enemy has the upper hand.
Wu Zixu held the ring-headed knife, his eagle eyes were slightly condensed, staring at the huge enemy fleet approaching with his might, his white hair was flying in the wind and rain, and his young face was not only confident, but also confident, and there was no trace of jealousy.
On the opposite side, in the Chu fleet, on the flagship of the huge fighting ship, Cai Mao raised his head and looked down at the Wei warship with few and weak enemies, and a sneer of disdain rose at the corner of his mouth.
Think about his third brother Cai He, who had his ears and nose cut off, and then think about his second brother Cai Zhong, who was killed by the pottery merchant back then, in Cai Mao's chest, the fire of revenge is burning wildly.
"Potter, your shame on my Cai family is the time for you to repay it today."
In Cai Mao's eyes, he snorted coldly, and suddenly pointed at the blade, and said sharply: "Raise the command flag, and the whole army will press on the general, and wipe out the enemy's small broken ship in one fell swoop." ” Above the flagship, the flag of the attack was hoisted high, and the horn whined.
The order was handed down, the rumbling battle drums rose in all directions, and on the fighting ships, thousands of crossbowmen quickly launched arrow strikes against Wu Zixu's army with long-range hard crossbows, like sharp arrows coming from locusts, overwhelmingly inclined to the Wei fleet.
The Wei battleship was immediately suppressed by the enemy's rain of arrows, and the soldiers had to shrink into the hull of the ship, not daring to show their heads easily, and the situation soon fell into passivity.
Seeing this, Fan Xu, who was watching the battle, shouted worriedly: "King, this Wu Zixu doesn't seem to have any ability, he didn't even dare to raise his head when he was pressed by Cai Mao, how can this battle be fought." ” The potter gave him a blank look, "Fool, when can you use your brain." ” Fan Hao was stunned for a moment, touching the back of his head, his face full of confusion.
"Fan Dayu, can't you see it, this General Wu, he is deliberately showing weakness to Cai Mao and inducing him to attack the enemy."
Zhang Liang had clearly seen Wu Zixu's intentions, and explained with a smile.
Weakness Fan Xu still couldn't figure it out, his face was dazed, seeing that his fleet was so pressed that he couldn't raise his head, and he didn't know anything about water warfare, he really couldn't see that Wu Zixu was deliberately showing weakness.
"Study hard and see how Wu Zixu performs."
The potter snorted coldly, and his gaze continued to shoot to the river.
In the battle of Hanshui, the battle situation has been clear.
Cai Mao, who had the upper hand, did not put Wu Zixu in his eyes at all, in his opinion, the little warp of Wei was really pitiful, and fighting against his fighting ship army was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, he just drove the fleet to move forward in a big way, condescendingly, and the bow and crossbow were shot wildly.
On the flagship of the Wei army, Wu Zixu stood as steady as Mount Tai, wielding a war knife in one hand, blocking the enemy arrows that came from him, and staring at the enemy army at all times to observe the enemy situation.
In his field of vision, the two fleets were less than a hundred steps apart, and he had reached his psychological distance.
Right now The corners of Wu Zixu's mouth raised a sneer, and he suddenly shouted: "Shake the command flag, commando, kill the general." ” On the flagship, the blue letter flag was immediately raised.
In the blink of an eye, nearly 70 or so fast ships, hidden behind more than 20 fighting ships, suddenly came out from both sides, and the sailors drove their oars to the maximum, like a rain of arrows galloping, rushing towards the enemy's big ships.
Luring the enemy army to approach, and then using a fast ship to board the ship to fight, this is Wu Zixu's tactic.
Seeing this, Cai Mao on the flagship had a slight strangeness on his face, and immediately shouted: "Crossbowmen, all aim at the enemy and charge, don't let them rush up."
When the order was passed, hundreds of crossbowmen of the Chu army heard the order, quickly changed the target of the shot, and with the advantage of the tall shape of the ship, they condescended, and the arrows rained towards the Wei army's ship.
Cai Mao thought that with the advantage of a strong bow and a hard crossbow, it was enough to stop the Wei army rushing up, but after a while, he was shocked to find that his flying bee-like arrow rain could not stop the Wei army's momentum at all.
On the ship that rushed to the front, Wu Zixu smiled, he knew that the tactics he had studied for many years had finally worked.

Although he has been far away in Xu Yang over the years, he has always paid attention to the Jingzhou Navy and knows the enemy's tactics well.
He knew that his navy was not capable of building enough large fighting ships, so he carefully built these shipwrights, although the hull was small, but the speed was extremely fast, and the outside was covered with two layers of cowhide, which was enough to withstand the blow of any strong bow and crossbow.
The previous show of weakness and initiative to be suppressed was to induce Cai Mao to attack lightly, and when the enemy was close enough, he would use the ship clash to launch a boarding operation against the enemy at close range.
In a moment, nearly 70 ships cleaved the waves, rushed forward in the face of the dense rain of arrows, and penetrated the enemy's naval warship array like the wind.
Wu Zixu personally sat on a battleship and headed towards Cai Mao's flagship. bang A few seconds later, with a dull loud noise, the metal angle at the front end of the ship hit Cai Mao's flagship flank, and under the powerful impact, the entire fighting ship shook violently, and the soldiers on the ship shook one after another, and several people even fell into the water.
"Brothers, after many years of training, today it is finally time for our navy to become famous in the world, and we will kill it with our generals" Wu Zixu shouted, jumped onto the enemy ship with his sword, and took the lead to kill those Chu troops who were caught off guard.
Those meritorious soldiers of the Wei army abandoned their oars and changed their swords, followed Wu Zixu, and hurriedly killed the enemy ship.
When Wu Zixu grabbed the enemy ship, the rest of the fast ships also collided with the enemy's big ships one after another, and more than 70 fast ships, like a sharp blade, rushed through the huge fleet of the Chu army.
The assault team succeeded, and more than 30 fighting ships behind it, as well as dozens of remaining small ships, immediately opened full power and charged towards the enemy fleet, and the crossbowmen fought back vigorously to suppress the firepower on the enemy ships and cover the various ships rushing to attack the small ships.
This scene, on the north bank, the potter and his tens of thousands of soldiers all saw it clearly, and the sound of joy sounded like thunder in a blink of an eye.
"King, this Wu Zixu really has two brushes, your ability to recognize people is too powerful, Lao Fan, I admire you to death."
Fan Hao shouted excitedly.
The potter only smiled slightly, but did not speak, and smiled at Wu Zixu's great achievement.
Above the Han River, Wu Zixu, who killed the enemy ship, was unstoppable, with a force value of 98, rampage on the enemy ship, no one could stop him, and wherever he passed, he left no life.
Blood splashed, blood and rain fell all over the body, Wu Zixu in the bloody wind and rain, like a Shura's demon general, was extremely fierce.
"How is it possible, under the command of the pottery thief, how can there be such a water war general, impossible" Cai Mao on the upper deck, his face was as white as paper in shock, he boasted that he was good at water warfare, but he never thought that the potter's weak naval army could destroy his fleet so easily. isjgy:
