The fog in the morning had already dissipated with the rise of the sun. When the sun was noon, a vast fleet of ships gradually became clear in sight.

Liu Sandao held his knife with no fear on his face, but with a bit of bloodthirst and expectation. Since he swept through Jingnan with Liu Yi, he has not experienced such a big scene for a long time. At most, he bullied Shanyue people. This atmosphere of war is about to come not only did not scare him, but instead aroused his desire for the battlefield in his heart!

"New recruits?" turned his head and saw several soldiers trembling unconsciously. Liu Sandao raised his eyebrows. There were many people who later joined the fishing town. Because the fishing town's economy was developed, Liu Yi's policies on the fishing town were very relaxed. Many young and strong people later sometimes saw that veterans went to the school to train and would follow him. Now Liu Yi has no soldiers available, so he launched a recruitment for the entire fishing town, which made many of the defenders who had never been on the battlefield.

"Yes!" The soldier who was asked quickly thrust his waist and said loudly.

"What are you afraid of? This armor was built for generals of each army. Even if it is hit by the enemy, it will be fine." After patting the other party's armor, Liu Sandao had to sigh at the luxury of this war.

In order to reduce casualties, Liu Yi directly brought out the armor made by the generals of the army above the marquis level in the Tiangongfang for the soldiers to wear it. The weapons were also the most exquisite, with a total of more than 3,000 soldiers. Now they are armed to the teeth, not to mention that Liu Yi has also set up 36 Pojun crossbows on the city wall. The Pojun crossbows that rely on hydraulic power can be fired hundreds of consecutively, and Yueyang City is only 64, and a small fishing town has set up 36.

Liu Sandao has fought for half his life, and this is the first time he has led such a luxurious army. He doesn't think he will lose.

"I'm not afraid!" the recruit roared.

"What's the use of shouting loudly?" Liu Sandao shook his head. The most important thing about new recruits is not how poor their equipment is or how physically and capable they are. It's the difference in mentality. This thing cannot be practiced and can only be honed through repeated actual combat, but it will cost life.

On the bracket, Liu Yi put down the telescope made of bamboo tube in his hand. Looking at the green lens, he had a toothache. He made the glass according to the method above the ancient books, but the colors were varied. There was still no clue on how to make transparent glass. However, although this colored glass can also be seen further away, it always feels a little wrong.

"Stone-throwing machine, the army crossbow is ready." Liu Yi waved to the trumpeter beside him and said, "Don't rush to attack when the enemy approaches, listen to my order!"

“Woo~”

The desolate horn sounded, and Liu Yi's order was passed to the entire fishing town through the horn.

The catapult carts were debugged by the craftsmen and filled with stone bullets. The crossbow box of the Pojun crossbow was quickly locked onto the crossbow trough.

On the lake, Lu Meng looked at the fishing village walls that were waiting for battle, stood up, put on a shed in his hand and looked at it for a while, and said to Gan Ning beside him: "Fish-Dragon Formation!"

"Here!" Gan Ning agreed, raised the order flag and waved it repeatedly.

But the fleet, which was originally densely packed with unorganized rules, began to slowly disperse and turn into a single shape. From a high point, it looked like a water snake swimming, not swimming directly towards the fishing town, but moving forward in a tortuous way. After a few moments, it turned into a big roc, with its wings spreading, and heading towards the fishing town.

"Fish-Dragon Formation?" Liu Yi stood on the bracket, seeing clearly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the strength of the Jiangdong Navy was at least not the ability to change the formation at will. It was not that the generals were not good, but that the army had no choice. This water battle was different from land battles. It was not as easy as land battles. Not only did the soldiers have the consciousness to keep up, but the level requirements for the ship were also quite high.

His brows frowned slightly. This formation was flexible and changeable, and it was difficult to practice in conjunction with the principles of the five elements. However, if it was practiced, it would be changeable and difficult to capture. If Liu Yi had no choice but to meet the Jiangdong Navy on the water.

His ability to understand the formation does not mean that he has a way to break the formation. Moreover, Liu Yi knew nothing about water battles, but if he defended the city, although the fish and dragon formation was powerful, it only reduced the damage when approaching the city, and it was impossible to directly attack the city.

"Fifty steps, no difference in attack!" Liu Yi looked at it for a while and saw that the Jiangdong naval army had begun to approach the city wall, and then pondered for a moment.

If you aim at the attack, this kind of formation is really not easy to hit, and indiscriminate attacks will be easier.

“Woo~”

The sound of the horn changed. Liu Sandao, who was originally preparing to order an attack, stopped his orders. The attack of the Jiangdong Navy had already begun. On those ships, archers kept firing arrows at the top of the city, but the distance was too far and there was not much power. Even if it was shot on people, it was blocked by the thick armor.

Fifty steps?

Liu Sandao didn't understand why Liu Yi had to put it so close to the attack. The bow and arrow made by Tiangongfang cooperated with the city wall, which was a very common operation of 130 to 40 steps. If you put it nearly fifty steps, you would lose a little.

However, since Liu Yi had already issued an order, Liu Sandao was not easy to disobey, so he could only take the soldiers behind the female wall and occasionally sneaked into the distance between the other party.

"Let me go!" Liu Yi stood on the bracket, and the other party's bow and arrow could not reach. He held the telescope and watched the other party's ship approaching. When he was about to reach fifty steps, Liu Yi shouted decisively.

"Woo~" The sound of the horn became a little rapid this time. At the same time, a drummer began to beat the war drums on the drum platform set up on the city wall.

With a passionate frequency in the drums, Liu Sandao, who had been waiting for an impatiently, immediately stood up with his shield and shouted, "Shoot me an arrow."

Boom boom boom boom ~

The stone thrower that had been prepared had shot stone bombs into the sky. After reaching the highest point, it crashed down again. Most of them directly into the water, splashing a large number of water splashes, and a few of them fell on the boats in Jiangdong. As long as they hit it, they would be a big hole. The originally orderly fleet suddenly stopped.

"Puff puff puff puff puff~"

The Pojun crossbow began to show its power, and the distance of fifty steps was when the Pojun crossbow was the most powerful. The crossbow arrows that broke through the air could directly penetrate the human body when they landed on the boat, and could also penetrate the deck directly.

The archers on the top of the city raised their bows and arrows and shot them into the sky. The rain of arrows fell down, but the formation that had already begun to be chaotic under the bombing of the stone thrower and the Pojun crossbow made it even worse.

The originally tight formation was in chaos, and many ships began to sink. The high-rise shields were easily torn apart under the attack of the Pojun crossbow. The lake surface began to be dyed red. The ships that rushed to the city were also smashed by the rolling wooden stones thrown from the city.

Lu Meng took Gan Ning to watch the battle formation from afar. Looking at this scene, his heart felt a little chilled.

Although the Jiangdong Navy is powerful, the ship has a large target. Once it is hit, it may be a ship of people killed. The advantage in numbers will not be able to be used at all.

"Retreat!" Lu Meng gave the order to retreat expressionlessly. The other party's indiscriminate attack was a bit unbearable.

The horn sounded, and the navy in front began to retreat in a hurry, but the other party's bows and arrows and stone throwers were extremely long. At a distance of nearly a hundred steps, the Jiangdong navy almost retreated with his life.

Even the city wall was not touched, and nearly half of the navy troops sent by his family were damaged, which made Lu Meng and other generals look terrible.

Gan Ning took a deep breath and said to Lu Meng: "Governor, although the enemy's defense equipment is powerful, there seems to be not many soldiers and horses. Why not go ashore to fight?"

Lu Meng nodded and ordered people to bypass the attack range of the fishing town and land on the shore for combat. They brought a lot of baggage, ladders, and catapults on the back of the big ships. However, although Jiangdong knew that Liu Bei had a catapult and crossbow installed on the side, he had never been able to do it. He could only carry the siege weapons on a large ship and transport them to the shore for combat.

On the wall of the fishing village, seeing that the Jiangdong Navy gave up the water battle and turned to the south to land, preparing for land battles, there was a lot of ridicule.

"Sir, the enemy has turned to land." Liu Sandao joined Liu Yi who had come down from the bracket and said with a smile.

"See!" Liu Yi calculated the time and nodded, "Send someone to Yueyang City immediately to inform Uncle Wei and ask him to send a small boat to patrol the lake. If you encounter a large number of Jiangdong naval forces, you don't need to pay attention. If it is a small warship, try to intercept it!"

Liu Yi didn't know how Lu Meng arranged it, but if Jiangling and the public security side succeeded, the news should not be made too quickly. It would be best to hold this team back. Jiangdong's attack this time was not a good idea. Although Liu Yi did not want to do too extreme for the sake of the overall situation, he must not let the other party leave so easily. He had to let Sun Quan know the pain and let him return to the united front of the alliance against Cao obediently.

"Here!" Liu Sandao nodded when he heard this and immediately arranged for someone to go to Yueyang to send a message.

Lu Meng did not bring all his troops on the press. He ordered Gan Ning to lead a navy army to patrol the lake. If the opponent had any troops to mobilize, he would immediately attack from the water, lead his troops to land, and command the army to prepare to attack the fishing town.

In order to maximize his military strength, Lu Meng launched his troops, which was an open conspiracy. Even if Liu Yi knew the other party's intentions, he could only continuously transfer the army in the city to defend. However, in this way, the public security issues in the fishing town were somewhat insufficient.

Lu Meng did not start the war immediately. He watched the walls of the fishing village. Although they were not high, they were quite strong. Moreover, there were several terrifying crossbows. If they attacked for a strong force, the losses would be quite large.

"I ordered someone to shout to the fishing town and ask Liu Yi to come forward to see you!" After pondering for a moment, Lu Meng looked at the direction of the city wall, and asked the army to retreat for a distance, and placed a table outside the city, hoping that Liu Yi could go out of the city to see you.
