"Boom boom~"

On the river surface, four large ships are lined up, and stone bullets are constantly hitting this side. Some of them hit the river surface, splashing water, and if they land on the ship, the ship will be destroyed!

After a moment of loss, Zhou Yu hurriedly ordered the ship's shackles to loosen, looked at the enemy ship from afar, and said solemnly: "Quick, order the gege to get close to boarding the ship quickly!"

"Here!"

The boats spread out one after another, approaching wildly in the direction of the four large ships, and the large ships of the Guanzhong Army over there, the Vulcan Cannon, never stopped, and the boats were hit from time to time.

Zhou Yu quickly realized that although the opponent's Vulcan cannon has a long range, its coverage is within a range of less than 100 steps. If he rushes forward, the opponent's Vulcan cannon will not be able to hit.

Zhou Yu, who noticed this, was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the fleet to disperse completely, cross the distance of 100 paces with the Vulcan Cannon, and then quickly approached the other side. Clearly visible, but the next moment, the nightmare begins.

A cluster of short spear-like arrows shot from the opposite side. The power may not be as powerful as the Vulcan Cannon, but it is more dense. When an arrow falls, it can pierce the ship when it hits the ship, and shoot it on the person. It can bring people and the ship together. To pierce through, for a light and flexible walking boat, this thing is more terrifying than the Vulcan Cannon.

For a while, but on the surface of the river, there were broken ship wrecks, blood-stained river water, and corpses floating down the water.

Today, when the navy mostly relies on bows and arrows and side-to-side battles, such long-range weapons are simply a big killer on the river.

But there are also walking boats that rush through the shooting range of the double crossbow and row under the huge ship all the way. However, after entering and exiting, they see a row of soldiers with repeating crossbows waiting on the side of the ship. After a series of shooting arrows, the remaining walking boats also stopped, and there was no sound. Only the blood-stained walking boats lost their manpower and retreated along the river, making all Jiangdong soldiers feel desperate.

What kind of ship is this! ?

"Let's go up, let the artificial boat bottom!" Zhou Yu's face was a little gloomy, he has already arrived here, it is impossible to retreat like this, even if he can't grab it, he has to build one for him.

"Going to the end!" Zhou Tai took off his armor, held a shield, and charged again with two rushing ships and hundreds of walking boats. Naturally, you were welcome, and the crossbow and arrows were intertwined. Dao Dao Jian Wang relentlessly harvested the lives of Jiangdong soldiers.

Zhou Tai stood on the bow of the ship with a round shield in each of his arms, and struggled to sway the crossbow arrows that were shot here. After all, he was hit by two arrows, but he also managed to dash away under the enemy ship.

However…

Looking at the steel hull in front of him, Zhou Tai let out a helpless and unwilling roar, and angrily slashed at the enemy ship with a knife, but only brought a series of sparks and left some knife marks.

"Launch, cut through the bottom of the boat!" After struggling, Zhou Tai took the last bit of luck and let people go into the water to cut the boat, but it was naturally in vain.

"General, the bottom is also made of steel!" A soldier came up to take a breath and looked at Zhou Tai.

"Withdraw!" Zhou Tai was helpless, the boat was too high to climb up without tools, so he could only withdraw temporarily.

After retreating again under the rain of arrows, Zhou Tai informed Zhou Yu of the ship's situation.

"Iron boat?" Zhou Yu looked at the boat on the opposite side that was constantly smoking black smoke. So, if you want to burn it with fire? And why can iron ships sail on water? Zhou Yu couldn't figure it out for a while, but at the moment he couldn't think about it any more. Right now, he could only withdraw Niu Zhu first and then think about countermeasures, but if the other party came after him, Niu Zhu's camp might not be able to keep it!

But at the moment, I can't take care of so much anymore. The morale of the soldiers has fallen to the bottom and they can't fight anymore. Zhou Yu ordered them to disperse and return to the Niuzhu camp.

When they came, thousands of sails gathered, and hundreds of boats competed for the flow. When they retreated, there was no need to order to deliberately disperse. When the fleet returned to Niuzhu, the boats were almost gone, and a dozen ships were also sunk in the rush, and two building ships were lost. , numerous casualties.

"Commander, the boat is covered with iron sheets. It is nearly two feet above the water. Even if I get close, it will be difficult to climb up." Zhou Tai explained the hull structure of the other party in detail. The other party only has four ships. , but it is almost invincible on the river surface. If you want to fight the opponent, you can only climb on the boat to fight the boat, and the casualties to pay are not much worse than attacking the city.

In the past, the naval tactics were meaningless on these four ships. Ordinary waves couldn't move these four ships at all, and fire attacks seemed to have little effect on others.

Zhou Yu didn't speak, his eyes fell on the river, and the thing he was most worried about happened. The four giant ships did not leave after defeating the Jiangdong Navy, but slowly approached Niu Zhu. Want to seize Niuzhu.

"Gather the soldiers and bring the hooks!" Zhou Yu looked at the enemy ship that was slowly approaching here. It was impossible to defend, so he could only be bombarded by the opponent's Vulcan cannons in turn.

Niu Zhu can't afford to lose, he must keep it!

"Commander, how do you keep it?" Song Zhong said with a wry smile.

"Be persistent, Ziyi, Youping!" Zhou Yu's eyes were firm. At this time, no matter what, this Niuzhu must be guarded, otherwise the other party can directly drive the boat to Moling. Niuzhu is the gateway to Moling's throat. Not to be missed.

"The end is here!" Taishi Ci and Zhou Tai stepped forward.

"The two of you are prepared enough to go and hide in the back camp, and only wait for the enemy to approach, then take the river to kill, quickly approach the enemy ship, and rush to grab the ship!" Zhou Yu said solemnly.

The terrain of Niuzhu is an island surrounded by water, facing the river to the west and a tributary to the east that separates Niuzhu from the land, forming a triangular island, and boats can also be hidden behind.

Zhou Yu's plan was to wait for the opponent to attack the Niuzhu Water Village, use the Niuzhu Water Village as a bait to lure the opponent to approach, and then shoot out from both sides, quickly approaching to fight over the side.

Except for the battle against the ship, they had no one and no means to deal with the four giant ships.

"Here!" The two agreed, and they each took their orders to leave, while Zhou Yu began to command the troops to build a defense in Niuzhu, making an appearance of wanting to defend.

After a while, the big ship on the opposite side came downstream and started firing guns toward this side. Stone bullets came in and bombarded the Niuzhu Water Village.

The widest part of Niu Zhu is about ten li in the horizontal direction. Naturally, it is impossible for the ship's guns to hit completely, so if you want to hit deeper, you must keep getting closer. Zhou Yu keeps moving the soldiers left behind to make it look like they are lost and defeated.

Actually, there is no need to do it specially. Under the shelling of the giant ship, the Jiangdong navy on the shore has already started to retreat without Zhou Yu's order.

After bombarding like this for about a quarter of an hour, Gan Ning began to approach the water village tentatively.

"Shoot the arrow!" Zhou Yu shouted loudly, a loud arrow burst out of the air, and a sharp scream spread far, and two fleets rushed out from both sides of Niu Zhu, and quickly approached the Ganning fleet from both sides.

This is obviously to fight overboard.

Gan Ning saw it clearly, and immediately ordered the boat to turn around and withdraw. However, Taishi Ci and Zhou Tai were obviously unwilling to let this rare opportunity pass, and ordered the soldiers to row the boat frantically.

Unfortunately, during the retreat, we had to turn around and couldn't aim the muzzle at these people.

Seeing that the speed of the big boat was getting faster and faster, Taishi Ci grabbed a bundle of ropes and hung it on his shoulders and ordered the two soldiers to row the boat frantically.

"Pull it for me!" He handed the rope to the two rowing soldiers and asked them to tighten the rope. Taishi Ci bit down on a ring-shaped knife, and clinging to the rope, he wanted to rush up.

The next moment, Gan Ning came with a team of crossbowmen. Seeing this scene, he snorted coldly, "Release the arrows!"

Immediately, more than a dozen crossbowmen came to the front with repeating crossbows in hand, and pulled their arms towards Taishi Ci.

Taishi Ci quickly let go of his hand and fell into the river water. A series of dense arrows rained down, and the river water turned red. I don't know if anyone died, but the two Jiangdong soldiers who were pulling the rope died among the arrows.

At the stern of the four ships began to arrange the continuous crossbowmen to defend. Although it is not as good as the bed crossbow and the Vulcan cannon, it is very powerful in close combat, especially the Jiangdong Army does not like to wear armor for the convenience of the water, and the continuous crossbow is lethal to them. bigger.

As the ships got faster and faster, the Jiangdong Army tried their best to row and failed to catch up.

Taishi Ci was dying when he was salvaged. Although the arrows in his body were not shot to the point, but after soaking in the water for so long, he lost so much blood that he could not be saved.

"Ziyi!" Zhou Yu took Taishi Ci's hand and looked at Taishi Ci's appearance. He felt sad in his heart. Taishi Ci was not only a general in Jiangdong, but also a fierce general left over from Sun Ce's era. He has good archery skills, but he didn't want to die today by the enemy's arrows.

"Commander, the last commander is incompetent, unable to board the ship!" Taishi Ci opened his eyes weakly, looked at Zhou Yu and said bitterly.

"I can't blame you." Zhou Yu shook his head.

"I'm afraid that the last general will not be able to do it anymore. He can no longer serve the master, and he can no longer obey the commander's account. It's a pity!" Taishi Ci did not have too much fear, and the general would inevitably die in battle. From then on, he was ready to die in the battle, but he didn't expect it would end in such a way. He was really unwilling to hold on to Zhou Yu's hand and sighed, "I wanted to use the three-foot Qingfeng in my hand. I have made an unworldly contribution, and the journal has not yet been completed, but I didn’t want to but died here, no matter what ~ no matter what~”

After he finished speaking, he took his last breath, Zhou Yu held his hand tightly, and two tears fell from the corner of his eyes. After a long time, he took a breath, opened his eyes, looked at Taishi Ci's deadly expression, and reached out his hand to help. He closed his eyes.

"If I don't take revenge, I will be in vain!" Looking at Taishi Ci's body, Zhou Yu's handsome eyes were full of chills. Sun Ce's death, Taishi Ci's death, the hatred between Jiang Dong and Lu Bu deepened, but thinking of the invincible Like a giant ship, there is an inexplicable sense of powerlessness and despair in my heart. This battle... Is there really hope! ?
