Fu Song

Chapter 546
There was the sound of rushing water hitting the side of the ship, and from time to time, water with a small whirlpool hit the side of the boat. When the whirlpool shattered, it also stirred up waves of water that soared into the sky and fell on the deck.

Under the leadership of Jiang Xiong, the commander of the navy, more than a hundred Wujiang naval forces flowing down the river are coming towards Xiangyang in great strength and strength.

In Fuling, it flows from the Wujiang River into the Yangtze River, and then all the way down to Jinghu Lake, and now it turns into the Hanjiang River Basin.

On this river, Liu Zheng's Hanjiang Navy is their only enemy.

Jiang Xiong was very emotional.

The speed with which the Jiang family fell was shocking.

The current Jiang family has accumulated more and more money year by year, but in terms of military and politics, it is really a mess.

The Jinghu navy was originally the foundation of the Jiang family. As long as there is a strong navy, the Jiang family will be invincible on the Jinghu road where the water network is criss-crossed.

Back then when Jiang Xiong left Jinghu to follow Xiao Cheng to Guizhou, the Jinghu Marine Division still had some appearance.

But in just seven years, he returned to Jinghu again, and when he saw the navy again, he couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

dilapidated ships,
The potbellied general,
Cowardly soldiers,
Jiang Xiong, who returned home in casual clothes, saw the ferocity and cruelty of these people when they fished the common people and merchant ships on the river,
The shock in my heart is really beyond words.

An army, when it has no discipline, only brutality and brutality are left, this is not worth mentioning at all.

And when only money is left in our eyes, and when we only think about greed and easy work,
What else can he expect from us?

But after all, it was still his own family!

The next era will inevitably be an era of heroes,
Those like the Jiang family will definitely be eliminated in the past.

In such a turbulent and turbulent era, it is like sailing against the current, if you retreat, you will advance.

Before the Jiang family, they could only rely on themselves.

Don't look at Jinghu smiling politely towards Jiang's family now, this is because I have just arrived in the Navy, and I still need the support of Jiang's family to gain a firm foothold.

When everything is completed, the Jiang family's trash will have to stand aside.

Even if Jinghu nostalgia gave us a little bit of face, but when the time comes, among these heavenly heroes gathered around Jinghu, how many of them can tolerate some trash standing under our heads and shouting?
At that time, no one will try to get us up,
And that process must be so beautiful, one is good, and the other is the disaster of ruining the family.

There are only so few seats, and the number of people who can sit is always unlimited.
Even an incompetent person would be trembling when sitting down, not to mention a group of scumbags sitting down, who is he fooling?

It means that people like Luo Gang and Cen Zhong who already held small powers, only look at the people around Jinghu who are still showing their faces behind the scenes, they are so powerful that no one is around.
For example, Luo Xin, Li Ge, and even Tian Yi,
If the alliance in Jiangling Mansion makes Jinghu really come true, and Zhao An ascends the throne, Shi Yue will be the proper first assistant. come rushing,

How difficult it is to maintain the Jiang family's position in the Navy!
That burden is only carried by myself.

Perhaps it was because God wanted to see the Jiang family sink in the tide, so after he was a teenager, he let himself follow Jinghu to Wujiang.

Over the past year, I have established Wujiang Shiyue with one hand and one foot, and what I have to do next is to completely kill Xiao Cheng, that old turtle, to the bottom of the Han River.

Defeat Xiao Cheng's Linjiang system envoy and completely control the Han River and the Yangtze River. In this way, Xiangyang can firmly guard the gate of Jianghan, ensure the safety of the Jianghan Plain and the entire south, and lay the foundation for the future Northern Expedition.

As long as that is achieved, the Jiang family will naturally be able to stand upright.

Liu Zheng stood up and stroked an oak cannon beside the ship's side.

That thing can completely change the previous water battle.

The several drills under the Wujiang River allowed Liu Zheng to see the power of that thing that Jinghu called artillery.

In today's water battles, fire attacks, crossbow arrows, boarding battles, and even collisions with ships are rarer, but artillery, which can sweep away a small area of ​​play, is a big deal for the enemy's boarding battles. A devastating blow.

Yes, there are few of those things.

It's just that seven guns are installed on the right and left under my flagship, and the gunpowder is only enough for me to shoot eight or seven times for each gun.

The output of gunpowder is still on the decline.

But for Liu Zheng, that was enough.

I even felt that if I fired it once, it would be enough to set the tone for the defeat of the war.

What you want is a surprise!

For the rest, let's use the most traditional battle to solve it.

Shi Yue is full of confidence in the sailors under her command.

For a year, I only did one thing.

And Jinghu spared no effort in supporting Jiang Xiong.

Of course, what Jinghu valued more was Shi Yue from Haixia.
Yes, there is a way,

Liu Zheng knew that he and Zheng Zhihu had some disputes with us.

Because they only provided a small sum of money and blueprints of various small warships from the Futai Mansion at the beginning, and then we ended our healthy development and created wealth by ourselves.

Over the past few years, the wealth created by Haixia Jiangxiong for Furu Mansion was enough to cover the taxes of the entire Guizhou Road. Even Wujiang Jiangxiong was supported by other people's money, so Liu Zheng was in Zheng Zhihu's office. After the meeting, it is true that some raised their heads. Every time they met in Futai Mansion, they would always kiss each other and call each other coldly.

But after he defeated Xiao Cheng, the situation would improve.

Eight thousand miles away, the Han River and the Yangtze River are all his home games.

The sound of humming horns came from under Diao's head, and the hairs all over Liu Zheng's body stood on end.
This is fear, this is excitement.

I looked up, and saw the watchmen under Diao Dou looking down at me: "Control, we found enemy ships, the number is less than [-]!"

Xiao Jiangxiong, with less than one hundred ships, must be Xiao Cheng's main force!

Liu Zheng laughed a little: "Send the semaphore, send the semaphore, and tell the sons and daughters that after winning the battle, the officer will be promoted one rank in place, and each sailor will be rewarded with ten guan. consistent!"

The officers and soldiers under the flagship cheered softly when they heard Shi Yue's reward.

And before the watchmen under Diao Dou sent out the semaphore, cheers came from the entire Han River.

Under the surface of the river, the fleets originally sailing in two straight lines changed their formation. When we arrived at Chitanpu, the entire fleet had become a standard battle formation.

Wujiang Jiangxiong, who is sailing under the Wujiang River, is now driving under the Hanjiang River, but he feels a little nervous. The water outside is smooth and fast, and there are no dangerous shoals and rapids. For us, it is simply too difficult.

Xiao Cheng's Jiang Xiong also arrived at Chitan Nursery at that time.

The two Jiangxiongs are full of confidence, they are like an army under the land, maybe the whole team is needed, and the momentum of the enemy is observed, the two Jiangxiongs, whether there is any nonsense, are already killing each other .

The narrow river surface of Chitanpu provides us with the best battlefield.

steal the show,

Grab the unprofitable current,

The contest between the fleets of the two sides only depends on the bravery of the soldiers.

The experience of the captain, the skills of the boat operator, the cooperation of paddling and sail control, and the carefulness of this link will give us an immediate advantage.

Combined, the two warring parties had no more than two hundred warships, but the entire river seemed to be filled with ships. It was true that there were no thousands of sails competing.

The rising flames, white smoke, screams and screams filled every corner of the river.

The small boats bumped into each other fiercely, accompanied by a palpitating rumbling sound. Because the angle of the boat was right, the boat was hit by the other side, and the whole boat immediately fell apart. The huge impact force made the boat The person below is thrown low like a kite, and it is still good if you are afraid of falling out of the water, because if you fall out of the water like that, if you are lucky, you can still survive. If you fall on the top It happened to be a boat, which was a good idea, and the tendons were broken in half an hour.

Wujiang Jiangxiong took advantage of such an impact.

First of all, Wujiang Jiangxiong's ships are basically new ships, and the oldest ones are also the first batch built a year later.Seven years ago, when building the boats, Jinghu spared no effort to knock down the iron rams for those small boats.

That's a big expense.

But today, such an iron collision angle gives us a very small advantage under the battlefield.

The boats collided with each other and joined forces, and then soldiers from both sides fought hand-to-hand with swords until one side wiped out the other.

The big ships are like loaches that shuttle under the battlefield. Once we find an opportunity, we will immediately stick ourselves under the small boats, swinging hammers and chiseling. Those guys know the key points of the ship well, and they will go up with a few chisels. , the boat will be broken through a small hole, and the water will be poured back.

Not to mention that some big boats were filled with firelights. Before sticking to the boat, they nailed themselves under the small boat, and then lit the big boat. When the big boat ignited, it naturally ignited the small boat.

Although the boat is out of the water, there are a lot of flammable things under the boat,
Rockets, torches, and clay pots filled with grease were thrown under the opponent's boat before being ignited. When the small fire ignited and could be contained, a boat was ruined.

What Liu Zheng stared at was Shi Yue's flagship.

For other big fish and prawns, I just don't care.

Capture the thief first, capture the king first, as long as Xiao Cheng is captured, the battle will begin, and those Jiangxiong ships that are still fighting down the river will eventually become your trophies.

It is like the Jiang family, the other party's ships, the situation still looks very wrong.

At that time, Xiao Cheng was also staring at Liu Zheng's flagship.

Both sides are playing the same idea.

The flagships of those two armies are common eight-story ships, a circle smaller than other ships.

In underwater warfare, small boats naturally have the upper hand. Eight-story boats like ours can carry two to eight hundred sailors under each boat. Special boats will touch our bad luck or be hit by us. Up and down is also a matter of acceptance.

So those two small boats moved backwards all the way, and on the way of retreating, they were in charge of the enemy and avoided us one after another.

If it was knocked down by us, it would basically capsize the boat and fall out of the river to feed the fish.

Xiao Cheng stared at the opponent's warship, and kept giving orders to adjust the direction of the ship. I wanted to be hit by the opposite ship.

Just looking at the extremely ferocious ramming angle on the bow of the eight-storey ship on the opposite side, he knew that if he was knocked down by that guy, even if the two ships hit each other face to face, he would not be able to bear it.If he was bumped by me in the middle, it would be even worse.

It was Shi Yue's plan for the two ships to lean on each other and fight side by side.

My boat was full of [-] warriors, and if everyone was counted, it would be a total of [-] people.

And the more than [-] people are all my own soldiers who have been fed with good wine and meat over the years, and rewarded with a small amount of money. They fought under the boat, as if they were walking on flat ground, and they were all underwater. ten characters.

I want to take over, and Liu Zheng also wants to take over.

It's because one wants to fight hand-to-hand,
Only one of them wants to give the other party a small surprise when they meet the ship.

With the same idea on both sides, the two ships will naturally develop in the way we hope.

In Xiao Cheng's eight-story ship, on the starboard side of each floor, there are soldiers with bare feet standing or squatting with one hand holding a shield and the other holding a knife. We are waiting for the moment when the two ships approach.

Eight hundred soldiers, on the starboard side, were fully packed with at least two hundred soldiers, even Shi Yue was also on the starboard side at the moment.

The two ships approached quickly.

Shi Yue took a deep breath, looked at the dense crowd of heads under the opposite boat, and roared, "Light it up!"

The lead wires in front of the barrels of the seven oak cannons burst into flames.

At the moment when the two ships crossed and approached quickly, the soldiers on the starboard side of Xiao Cheng's flagship stood up and gathered their strength to take over the battle, the seven oak cannons simultaneously let out a deafening roar .

The flames appeared at the muzzle of the gun, and at such a short distance, it was almost as close as shooting.Countless iron nails, iron sheets, and stones flew to the opposite side, and in an instant, the entire starboard side became a hell on earth.

Almost all of these soldiers who had just stood up fell down, layer by layer,
The sound of wailing is unheard.

Shi Yue's eyes on the eighth floor were cracked, and she froze outside as if struck by lightning.

Whether the sailors have armor or not, for the convenience of combat, but also to be able to fight on the water, the armor that is close to the sky, this is the sickle of the dead king of hell.Few people, even wearing shoes, ran around under the boat barefoot.

Before the sound was heard, the sailors under Liu's entire boat rushed out immediately, and we had already been waiting on the port side.

A wave came in, and the two ships collided heavily. At that moment, Wujiang Jiangxiong's soldiers jumped up and jumped off the opposite ship.
