The sky is dark clouds, blue light is trapped in the cracks of the clouds, and thunder rolls by in the heavy rain. Thunder, rain, waves are connected together, and the world is stirred up.

But the hard sail can also tilt against the wind and leverage the force, and the wind-pushing array can also provide some supplements.

The long river is wide and can't see the edge, and huge waves like sea tides are surging. The raindrops are grounded to the sky to form a water curtain. The water on the deck is over the ankles. The surging waves are the same as the water surface outside the boat. It is impossible to tell where it is on the boat or outside the boat.

In this dark water world, giant ships cut into a tributary on the south side of the Changhe River.

The astronomical tides are too strong, causing the magnitude of the genus magnetic field, poor remote communication of the message disk, and greatly reducing the coverage of the battlefield network of the sectarian regiment.

The navigation guide lights were lit on the front and rear masts of each ship. The light in the glass penetrated the dark rain curtain. The stars made the fleet connect into a long dragon, swimming deep into Xiangzhou... except for wind and rain, there was no obstacle.

"The princess crossed the river the day before yesterday. Our navy trained! It's too late, it's a lot of things..."

"I caught up with this storm again, and not only did I say that the trip was blocked, but I also lost the contact with the message board..."

"Don't worry, the enemy is powerful this time, and it will not be able to be wiped out in one or two months. The main force just drank more soup and there was still a lot of meat..."

"Yes, show the power of our navy"

In the cabin of the tall flagship ship, the glass lights were white. A young general squinted his eyes and couldn't see clearly. More than a dozen captains and military captains gathered around him, discussing and reporting from time to time.

The young man listened quietly, his fingers hitting several cases regularly, as if there was a hidden rhythm, and he did not interrupt. Seeing the waterway outside the urbine cabin, he said, "I finally left the main river channel. Please come and confirm it."

Every year, there are many giant ships that capsize on the long river during storms. There are also people who go on the wrong waterway and hit themselves into the narrow river channel - no one wants to be that unlucky person.

"We have entered the Xiangshui River." The Lu family sent a manager to identify the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and said confidently: "I am an old ship, absolutely not wrong."

The runoff of the Hunan River is still very wide, and in the eyes of the Han general, it is not inferior to the Yangtze River in the lower land, but the waves do not feel as grand as the main river channel.

At this time, we went up the water waves and saw that the river channel along the way became narrower. Many villages along the coast were dark and dark in the rain, without any movement or popularity, which was very strange.

"Something is wrong." Zhou Yu immediately woke up, his face was a little pale, he gritted his teeth and smiled, and stopped saying: "Let's go out and have a look."

In the wind and rain, I left the captain's room of the bridge and came to the head of the ship to look at it. The spiritual consciousness was full of darkness and desolation. This place was completely in line with the prosperity of the intelligence. After thinking for a long time, I asked, "Is this Xiangzhou?"

"yes"

The guide, Manager Lu, followed in the rain. He used to lead his family fleet to and from here. Now he looked at it and said hesitantly: "Maybe now be avoiding wars. There is a smaller tributary of the Xiangshui River in front of it. Let's go to Yishui North Port to take a look. It is the famous rice market in northern Hunan."

For a moment, the famous Yishui Port in northern Hunan flashed through his sight, and there was no light or popularity. The guide's face changed slightly.

I have a nephew who stays here all year round to provide information for the market conditions in the rice market. I have married, have children and settled down. If it weren't...

"The governor, the Wangzhang family of Yishui County, is ten miles south of Mi City. There is a fort built, which may gather the people of Mi City and resist the foreign demon warriors for some time."

Seeing this, the intelligence personnel sent by the above were a little uncertain.

“Or will?”

Zhou Yu did not agree with this vague statement and did not trust Jun Wang's strength. He immediately spread out the waterproof military map. The lightning flashed and reflected the bright red enemy sign on the map: "It must be estimated at the worst case. This place is not far from the county town, no more than twenty miles away. General Guan should be able to contact..."

As he approached a bay, he turned around, "boomed" a wave rolled up the hull, and the deck under his feet tilted. Zhou Yu's feet were nailed firmly, and his body did not shake at all.

"Turn sails to turn..."

"The surgeon initiates side-side jet..."

"Give the light signal to prevent collision chaos..."

The sailors were not very panicked, and Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel relieved. The lord sent out these two thousand soldiers to the south, and mixed them into the Jiangdong Navy and Jingzhou Navy, which was obviously preparing to form a fleet on the ground, and now it reflects the benefits of skillful water war.

"It's a pity that the navy has been newly built, and it can't compete for the infantry army. There are fewer people and less ships..." Zhou Yu said to himself, wondering whether to let an old friend walk on the harem route and let Mrs. Shangxiang blow the pillow wind of the lord?

The lord's tendency to love is not a secret among the Han ministers. In the Xiatu harem, he is closer to Qianqian, Heiyun, Xiaoqiao, and Shangxiang.

It seems to be a kind of compensation for your heavy mind, so I prefer a girl with bright eyes, white teeth, lively and cute to moisten my body and mind.

Zhou Yu thought about it and put off this thought. Why don’t you bother Sun Ce? The Sun family has caused Yu Fan to be implicated, and it is rare to get rid of suspicion and be valued by using his sister’s marriage. There is no need for him to let Mrs. Shangxiang reduce points in front of his lord - who said that the pillow style will not reduce points in love?

"Governor Zhou, our ship is not bad..."

Manager Lu looked at the general's face, so he didn't like the ship, so he couldn't help but argue. He heard that the head of the family Lu Ming had invested a lot of money to fund ten ships, and Yunbiao School funded seven ships. These were all third-level merchant ships obtained for free by the Han Hou Mansion.

"These are giant boats used to trade with the coastal island chains of Dongzhou and Qingzhou."

"I was wrong, and the meaning was not suitable for combat ships." Zhou Yu showed off his eyes slightly, his eyes were easy-going, and Han Feng had his own strengths. Zhou Lang would not be angry about the barbarians' rebuttal.

This was gentle and clear. Manager Lu was speechless and had no choice but to cough slightly with a little embarrassed look, thinking that the governor Zhou was really magnanimous.

The old man who relies on water navigation to make a living has rich experience and is very clear that the differences between merchant ships and warships are very big. Although these seventeen ships are giant ships in their physique, they are not born for war and are inherently insufficient.

The Lu family shipbuilding industry is famous in the north. The keel of the hull is not hesitant to be material and workmanship. The reserved position of the inner layer is missing from the magic array, and the gangway wall is several times thinner than that of the warship.

In the first two months, it was quickly thickened in the three major shipyards of the Lu family. As soon as the construction was completed half a month ago, it was handed over to the new water army of the Hanhou Mansion. It only had time for Taiping Lake to train and formed a team after initial adaptation.

It was pulled out because of the need to cross the river to fight - the combat power can be imagined. It is better to say that warships are large-scale armed merchant ships than warships.

Zhou Yu, the first governor of the Navy, knew this. When he was about to leave the home port of Jinsha County, he added more than a dozen small platforms covered with rain on the decks of each ship. Now soldiers are always on the turn of guarding.

The guide of the Lu family who was piloting could not see what these were under the masks. The senior navy's supervisor knew in his heart that this was the thunder crossbow.

This kind of leaf fire thunder thrower equipped with a ship is not a land battle stone thrower structure, but a steel spring armed crossbow structure.

The power of Yehuo Lei has reached the upper limit of a single bundle of crystal stone bundles. If it stacks higher, it will explode and it will not be able to achieve large size. This failed in Ye Qing's previous life when he tried to stack it into strategic nuclear weapons.

In this life, Li Huaiji also took a small detour and did not reveal it. It was not until he admitted that the experiment failed that he ordered the research direction to be changed.

So, after a simple attempt at the "attack grenade" and "defensive grenade" of grenadiers, we sought a small leaf fire attack technology that was far superior to the Yehuo Thunder Catacomb.

In ultra-range attacks, research points to two paths.

One is to use the driving force of crystals to form a firetail arrow that reduces the array of micro-pushing arrays, increasing the pure physical kinetic energy and range of the arrows, which was a great success in Zhuge Liang's crossbow.

The second is to maintain the explosive effect of the crystal beam, seek the range of the projection equipment, and form the thunder crossbow arrow of the new steel arm crossbow - an upgraded version of the Forty-stone crossbow-type big yellow crossbow of the Han Dynasty. It is based on the increase in the steel output of the Fire Spirit Steam Engine and the new blast furnace, which greatly reduces the cost of high-quality special steel.

The range of the thunder crossbow arrows is doubled to eight miles, and the long-range shooting advantage is very strong. The disadvantage is that they are extremely costly and the most deceptive thing is not suitable for field combat. This thing was developed to make up for the shortcomings of insufficient accumulation of wooden arms of the stone casting car. As a result, direct shooting with too strong accumulation of momentum is not suitable for field combat. There are too many artificial or natural barriers on the ground battlefield, and direct shooting is difficult to suppress the magician regiment behind the enemy.

But it is just right for siege battlefields with higher targets, empty and smooth surface battlefields.

This set of ships has had practical experience in the Xiatu using their main weapon, and the soldiers are familiar with the concentrated fire attack on the side. If the ship is better and there are more Taoist soldiers, Zhou Yu would dare to fight against the Xiangzhou Navy, which has the same number of ships... Forget it now, it's better to lose too few people.

The standard configuration of regular warships of the Cai Chao Navy is that each ship has at least 200 soldiers. The 2,000 people under his command are divided into twenty ships, with only more than one hundred people each, and they can only drive the ship.

Even if the sailors from Lu Yun and the other two families were assisted in sharing the cables, sailing, repairing and liberating the Taoist soldiers to the combat position, the fleet would eventually rely on Taoist soldiers when fighting. The number of soldiers was dissatisfied with the loss of the magic array, the loss of the magic arrows shooting, and the loss of the melee battle on the side.

The lord confirmed from the Dragon Palace that he knew that the 2,000 warship of the Xiangzhou Navy Admiral Sun Xinbo had already run to the Xiaozhou backup water camp and had a conflict with the dragon clan, otherwise Zhou Yu would not dare to enter Xiangzhou like this.

"Sun Xinbo...Tsk, when will I see it?"

Zhou Yu returned to the bridge and continued to listen to the consultation of the military captain. He opened the hydrological pictures to see if there were any reefs and dangerous shoals in this river. He actually felt a little disdainful of the navy admiral.

"That's right, this person was ordered by Cai Chao to control the navy in the ten states downstream of the Changhe River. Just as he was fighting for the immortal ships, he was frightened by Longjun on the way and dared not return to Xiangzhou. Isn't this just fulfilling the lord's wishes?"

"Now the navy's mission is simple. There is no need to worry about the threat of Cai Chao's water surface power in the short term. As long as you deal with the ground warriors and provide General Guan with firepower from the water surface, it is easy."

"The main weapon of the fleet is thunder and crossbow cannon, and Xiangzhou is filled with water networks, so many battlefields can be supported. No matter how powerful the Terracotta Warriors are, they will have no choice but to go to the river surface to the fleet."

Listening to the comments of the officials, Zhou Yu smiled and nodded. When the Taoist soldiers swam, they became targets of cross-fire in the fleet. Unless those enemy generals and casual cultivators upgraded to real people, there would be certain threats.

"With the gap in the power of Cai Chao and the external demons on the water surface of Xiangzhou, it was a great time for the Han navy to hone their training and development. The warriors killed by the fleet still had the same benefits as the battle of Jizhou..."

In the deep night, Zhou Yu thought, for some reason, but an emptiness hit his heart. This was not what he had now, but it had been a long time ago.

It seems that the person who should have been around is gone now.

In the dark water world, the fleet successfully passed through the Yishui bend and approached the county city for fifteen miles. The magician monitored on the watchtower sent a voice transmission: "The location of the enemy ship has been sensed, but the main spiritual consciousness network of our army was not detected nearby. It may be that the spiritual energy is disordered in the disturbance range, so I requested the fleet magic array to increase the amplitude."

"Allowed" Zhou Yu to stand up, and when the lights on the fleet's ships lit up, he also connected to the battlefield consciousness network and expanded to investigate.

The lightning flashed on the horizon, cutting through the darkness toward a place deep in the rain.

Because the distance was very close, the "boom" sounded and the sound of thunder sounds sounded after the light arrived instantly. The air seemed to be tight, and the lightning was intimidating everywhere. Zhou Yu's spiritual consciousness retracted as soon as a ray of spiritual consciousness was revealed. It was only after calming down the throbbing in the spiritual pool.

A smile appeared on his face: "No need to look for it, the enemy's immortal thunder projection direction, the lord must be there."

"Avoid enemy ships for ten miles, their range is much farther than ours. We can't deal with them, just deal with the outer terracotta warriors."

As soon as the words were finished, a hostile gaze penetrated the void and locked in the fleet. Many sailors who looked strong and fierce, kneeling softly on the spot.

But the Taoist soldiers passed by the Battle of Jizhou in Xiatu, and then the scattered immortals from the foreign land were killed. He immediately ordered: "Go forward and replace the position."

"Yes" a large number of Taoist soldiers replaced the sailor's position.

The fleet was moving forward in the wind and rain for a minute. When the lightning lights on the front side shone again, they saw the huge enemy ships. The generals were shocked and couldn't help but look back and look back.

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and calculated, and said calmly: "The lower half of the sail, reduce the speed, continue to move forward, and you can get closer to Sanli... Contact the lord and ask the location of the enemy's terracotta warriors

"Boom" the lightning fell on the Sanli River in front. Half a piece of fish in the river were cooked, and their belly rolled upwards and flashed.

Everyone was worried, but they still gritted their teeth to ride the ship against the wind. They stopped a little short while before the enemy's immortal ship's range. A familiar female voice connected to the network: "This is the Han army's main formation, I am Qianqian. Please verify your identity when coming to the ship."

"I received it. This is the navy. I am Zhou Yu. Do you need fire support?"

"Governor Zhou, you're here just right." Qianqian's female voice was a little happy, Zhou Yu looked over, and she looked at her. At this time, there was no need for spiritual consciousness to see the faint battlefield.

The dark clouds rolled in the sky, and heavy thunder came from time to time, and there were fires, and faint shouts of killing sounds came from time to time. Sometimes, when the lightning flashed, I saw my army nervously and skillfully pouring down the crossbow leaf fire and thunder, drowning the surging turbulent warriors.

It can be seen that the lord's formation did not move at all, standing solemnly, and a straight murderous aura rushed into the sky.
