Chapter 248: A Thousand Sails Cross the River, but the Boat Doesn't Exist


On the river, Zhou Tai's eyes widened, and after hearing the battle report of the former army, after Gan Ning fell into the water, he had been worried.

Gan Ning official to the general of Anbei, Wuling Taishou, this time pacified the four counties of Jingnan, and made great achievements, if he made a mistake, even if the water division could win, it was a tragic victory.

"Governor, our fleet has reached a hundred paces before the wreckage of the building."

Zhou Tai's eyes narrowed, and he immediately came back to his senses, "Order, throw the rope, and pull away the wreckage of the ship." ” "Whoa."

Zhou Tai didn't dare to give the order to hit the building ship in front of him, most of it was burned by the flames, the fire has not been extinguished at this moment, the building ship will sink at any time, and the three-story platform on the top has a tendency to collapse, if it is forcibly impacted, it will also add a lot of casualties.

"Whoosh" When more than a dozen ropes accompanied by the arrows of the bed crossbow shot into the building boat, the building boats lined up on both sides of Zhou Tai pulled the ropes and sailed out more than ten feet on both sides.

With a loud "boom", the two building ships in front of the ship, under the huge traction, fell directly to the sides.

"The Chinese army, led by the flagship of the Pontus Governor's Department, penetrated the enemy's fighting ship formation, raised its sails, and marched at full speed."

"Whoa."

Hundreds of building ships, two in a row, went straight out of the heart of the river.

"Boom" a loud sound, a fighting ship was directly hit and sunk, Zhou Tai ordered the warship to march, directly abandoned the bed crossbow and catapult, for the first two building ships, condescending, in the face of the fighting ship on the low building ship a few feet, he only needed to order the sergeant on the ship to shoot it with a bow and arrow.

Across the river not far away, the deputy general glanced at Cai Mao, "General, Zhou Tai's fleet of buildings has been killed towards our fighting ships." ” "Continue to throw oil bombs, and order the rear army to sail out the spare fireships to intercept the Zhoutai fleet."

"Whoa."

Cai Mao stared at the fleet opposite, "Order, order the whole army to line up on the south bank, and not to dispatch without my general's order." ” "Whoa."

Cai Mao did not think that the Jiangdong army would be poor, but believed that Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were both born as water thieves.

"General, Zhou Tai ordered the boat to throw out the rope, and the boat across the river has been pulled away."

Cai Mao's eyes narrowed, "The fireboat is ready" "A hundred clippers are ready, ready with hay and brimstone, ready to go."

"The sergeant who pilots the ship and the boatman who steers the ship can find a good thing" "Each person left his name and clan land, and his family got 100 stones of grain and 100,000 yuan, and more than 200 people have been prepared."

Cai Mao closed his eyes, "Let's go out, stop the Jiangdong Army's building boat, just block it for half an hour, and a certain can lead the building ship to kill from the flank and defeat the Jiangdong Army." ” "Whoa."

Cai Mao glanced up at the sails on the ship, and at some point, the original southeast wind had been changed to a northwest wind.

If it was still a southeast wind, he would not dare to set fire to the boat, although the water was downstream, but the warship of the Jiangdong Navy Division could easily avoid the fire boat.

"Report to the general, the spare beds, crossbow arrows and oil bombs on our warship have been exhausted."

Cai Mao turned around and pointed to the bed crossbow at his side, "Disassemble these useless things, catapults and bed crossbows." ” "General, bed crossbow and catapult, but it took months to prepare, how can you?"

Cai Mao glared at him, "There are no arrows, what is the use of staying, unloading the bed crossbow catapult can make the ship lighter, our army is about to fight with Jiangdong vehicles and ships, if you walk on the river, too clumsy, you will definitely lose." ” "But if you have it, it can also deter the enemy."

Cai Mao shook her head slightly, "The next handover of short soldiers is not necessary." ” The hundred fireships are the same as the scene on the river before.

The Jiangdong Army's building ships, except for the two three-story building ships led by Zhou Tai to charge ahead, the rest of the ships were one size smaller.

The establishment of the Jiangdong Military Naval Division was far more complete than that of the Jingxiang Naval Division, and most of the craftsmen in the Poyang Shipyard were dispatched to make vehicles and boats.

"Look, General."

Cai Mao suddenly saw the guard on his side stretching out his hand and pointing forward, and when he looked closely, he saw that Zhou Tai's building boat was on, and at some point, there were more than a dozen bamboo tubes.

"Release", with Zhou Tai's order, two warships and thirty bamboo tubes were aimed at the two oncoming fireships at the same time.

The water dragon that fell from the sky was poured on the fire boat under the impetus of several sergeants, and the fire was instantly suppressed a lot.

"Hook rejection, on."

Zhou Tai waved his hand, and dozens of sergeants who were already standing on the two decks were standing on both sides of the side of the ship, each holding a hook several zhang long.

More than ten hooks stabbed the bow of the fireship almost at the same time, and an irresistible force struck, and the sergeant holding the hook was shaken back after only one or two breaths, and some people were carried by the hook in their hands, and their bodies were unstable and fell into the river.

But the fireboat was pushed by this refusal and avoided the front of the ship.

"Drink" came to the side of the ship, and the fireboat was pushed away by dozens of hooks.

"Boom, boom, boom" but soon, they rushed to the nearby fireships one after another, and also collided with Zhou Tai's building boat.

The sharp iron dragon head pierced the bow of the ship.

"Full speed march, water cannons, continue to extinguish the fire on board."

Zhou Tai pushed away the two sergeants, holding the water dragon cannon in both hands and injecting it into the river water on the side of the boat, "Quick, draw water." ” "Gollum" Soon, the water dragon cannon was lifted from the river by Zhou Tai, and the muzzle of the cannon was aimed at the people who were behind the boat.

"Put" There was a loud bang, and the people who were more than a dozen steps away widened his eyes, and watched as a white water dragon hit his chest, knocking him out, and with a "bang", he fell into the river.

However, the ensuing fireboats still crashed into the building where Zhou Tai was, and with the breaches on the side of the ship in many places, the river water had already flooded into the cabin on the ground floor with the breaches.

"Order the water ghosts in the lower cabins to scuttle the ship immediately."

Zhou Tai looked resolute, "All the sergeants on the ship, immediately follow me to the boat." ” "Whoa."

Abandoning the ship, Zhou Tai ordered to immediately scuttle this ship here, and his decisiveness shocked Cai Mao, who was watching the battle from afar.

When he looked back at Jiang Qin's headquarters again, he didn't know when, the fleet of cars and ships had already arrived in the building.

The wreckage of the six building ships that originally crossed the river was now all dragged upright on the river, and the chariots and boats with six water wheels were wide open on all sides, and through these gaps, the sergeants on the bow deck pushed the fireboat away with a hook, and one hundred and fifty chariots and boats were like wild wolves out of the cage, and behind the fireboats, the thousands of small boats crowded together were trembling horses.

Cai Mao's chest hurt, he had foreseen that his warship was sunk by a car and ship with the word "Wu" battle flag, these cars and ships running rampant on the river, he was not the first time to see, but when the six wheels were moving at full speed, the speed was as fast as a galloping horse, and he estimated that the speed of the car and ship was six or seven times that of his own baggage ship.

From the very beginning, the killer weapon of the Jiangdong Army was the car and boat.

From beginning to end, whether it was Gan Ning or Zhou Tai, they were all opening up the way for Jiang Qin's carriage and boat
