After loading, after a loud noise, the sharp crossbow shot into Yuan Jun by the river.
Yuan Jun was so frightened that he ran away one after another.
Seeing Yuan Jun retreat after shooting a few waves, Zhou Tai ordered the bed crossbow to be adjusted to the bow, ready to shoot and charge Yuan Jun who was erecting the pontoon bridge.
However, Yuan Jun dared to build a bridge and was prepared.
One by one, they were paddled with small boats placed on both sides of the river, and then loaded with thatch, which was splashed with oil.
After being ignited, the raging flame leans upwards and forwards.
Countless small boats drifted downstream under artificial control.
"How can a small boat stop me? Come and form a one-two-three formation. The iron-clad warships are divided into the front and two sides, and the other occupying ships are concentrated in the middle."
Don't say that the opponent doesn't have a navy, even if there is, Zhou Tai is not afraid.
As Zhou Tai's order flag was sent to each ship, the warship with the iron sheet on the bow soon moved to the two wings.
Then the captains of the two wings gave an order.
"Put down the iron chain plate, and prepare the armor-piercing arrows and poles..."
There was the sound of iron objects colliding, and the crew members pushed out the chain armor protection made of small iron pieces rolled into a ball on the deck.
Immediately, the iron chain armor hit the wooden board, making a dull impact sound.
These iron chain armors are not generally used, unless there is a battle, they will be pushed down to protect the two wings of the ship.
Because there is no waterproof paint in Xuding, especially anti-rust paint that is resistant to salt and alkali corrosion, so the wings of general warships are not covered with iron sheets.
Especially the navy, because the iron sheet is too easy to corrode under the soaking in the sea.
That's why I came up with this kind of countermeasure, which is to comprehensively improve the combat effectiveness and save the cost of the city.
After all, the frequent maintenance of the small part of the iron sheet on the bow can be afforded in the navy's expenses.
It is too expensive to replace a large area on the side of the two wings.
In the case that the navy and navy have no strong enemies, it is obviously not cost-effective to use fixed ones.
Not much nonsense, I saw that those small boats were either smashed and crushed by the bow and then drowned by the river water.
Then he was pushed away by the crew with poles.
It is also because of the protection of the iron plate that it can't be pushed away from time to time, and the high-temperature flames cannot focus on the ship's plank, so the warship will naturally be in peace.
The warship easily broke through the enemy's fire boat array, and then reached the pontoon bridge.
"Fire arrows!"
The bed crossbows at each bow started their performance again, shooting towards Yuan Jun on the pontoon bridge.
Immediately, countless Yuan Jun fell into the water, and the unreliable pontoon bridge was also shot off ropes or cracked planks.
What made Yuan Jun complain the most was that Zhou Tai's water army rushed over and broke the pontoon bridge directly. It shook violently and lost its level, countless Yuan Jun fell into the water.
The water was dominated by Zhou Tai and others. The officers and soldiers on the boat asked them to take out their bows and crossbows to shoot at the enemy soldiers who fell into the water, or they took out their short knives and stabbed the enemy soldiers into the water.
Yin Hong's blood soaked a large area of water at once.
Chapter 638 Chapter 639
The erection of floating bridges on the Sishui River in the northern section failed, and Yuan Jun on the east and west banks had to withdraw.
Zhou Tai, who hadn't put away the killer, commanded the fleets, sent them to both sides of the strait, and then condescended to attack Yuan Jun and counterattack.
The water army's bed crossbow shoots far and sharply. Whether the bow or the crossbow used by the water army is good, the shooting range is obviously longer than that of Yuan Jun's.
So Yuan Jun immediately retreated away from the river to the depths of the land.
The situation of the battle was quickly reported to Yuan Shu and Yuan Huanzhili.
This made Yuan Shu feel a little depressed again.
But Yuan Huan said: "It's expected, if Wang Xiu doesn't even think about this, then we will really be able to capture Pengcheng very quickly, but our next goal is to destroy his navy first and destroy Zhou Tai's tribe."
Yuan Huan was still wanting to talk about his next detailed strategy when someone hurried in and delivered a letter from Runan.
Judging from the big characters on the letter, Yuan Shu knew that it belonged to Yang Hong, another government adviser under him.
Yang Hong is Yuan Shu's second-in-command, responsible for all affairs in Yuzhou.
He sent a letter suddenly, could it be that something big happened in Yuzhou.
After unpacking the mud seal and taking it down to take a look, Yuan Shu's expression darkened a lot.
The brows knit together.
Yuan Huan asked, "My lord, what happened in Yuzhou?"
Yuan Shu put down the letter, he really didn't want to mention what was written in the letter, but he unconsciously thought about it.
After pondering for a while, Shi Zai still didn't understand it, and then he sighed and said: "Again, Xu Ding was right, Liang Guo discovered a large-scale locust, and Yang Hong sent people to other counties to make statistics. There are also insect plagues of varying severity in other places, but they are all under control now, but I am afraid that this situation will continue to worsen."
Prolonged drought will cause disasters, and locusts are everywhere.
Isn't this what Xu Ding is talking about on every page of the newspaper?
Yuan Huan also frowned suddenly.
Together with the imperial disaster, this is not good for the war.
Although Yuzhou has a big county like Runan, if the counties and counties get into trouble and the people can't make a living, and someone takes advantage of it to make trouble, the whole Yuzhou will be swept away.
Especially in Yuzhou, there are still many Yellow Turban forces that have not been resolved. If they come out to pretend to be ghosts and absorb the rioters, Runan will not be able to bear the trouble in Fuyu.
"Report! My lord, Tao Qian sent a letter!"
While Yuan Huan and Yuan Shu were still thinking about the Emperor's Disaster, another person came in to report.
Tao Qian's letter?
Is this strange?
Could it be that he came to ask for peace.
Yuan Shu asked someone to take the letter and deliver it, and then opened it to see, his face showed anger immediately, and he slapped the desk heavily.
