On the wide river, more than a hundred large and small warships of the Han army came from the upper reaches, and nearly a hundred large and small warships of the Wu army were parked on the river.
Come closer, come closer.
Li Feng kept visually checking the distance between the two armies. This battle was very important to him because it was the first time he commanded a warship on such a wide river.
Fight with the enemy.
The Han soldiers on the warship were also a little nervous.
After all, it is no secret that the Soochow navy is powerful.
Eight Hundred Steps
Seven Hundred Steps
Six hundred steps
As the distance between the two armies got closer, Li Feng became more nervous and excited.
When the warship arrived only 500 steps away from the Wu army, Li Feng, who was standing on the bow of the ship, finally pulled out the long sword at his waist and shouted loudly: "Attack!"
"Let it go!"
At the same time that Li Feng was shouting to attack,
Lu Zhi on the Wu army's warship,
He also issued his order!
Wu Jun's crossbowmen heard the general's order,
Immediately press the expansion button.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Nearly a hundred spears on Wu Jun's warships roared out immediately, and the fireballs visible to the naked eye from the spear heads were particularly dazzling.
"Shield!"
"Shield!"
"Grand Governor!"
The Han warship immediately became panicked, and Li Feng was so frightened that he quickly stepped back and hid in the cabin next to him.
Bang bang, bang bang bang.
The flaming spear quickly rushed to the Han warship, and the spear head was pierced into the ship's plank, and then a raging fire soon ignited.
"How come the Wu army also has strong crossbows?" Li Feng was a little panicked. He seemed a little careless and forgot about the battle of Hefei ten years ago. Sun Quan personally led the army to capture Hefei, and there were a large number of Wei army's three-bow crossbows in Hefei city.

"Grand Governor!"
A small colonel pointed at the Wu Army warship opposite and said excitedly: "Don't be alarmed, Commander-in-Chief, the Wu Army's crossbow has a single shot, but our army's crossbow has multiple shots."
"Yeah!" Li Feng suddenly said: "Send the order, rocket attack."
"No!"
The primary school teacher accepted the promise and went to deliver the order.
Li Feng escaped Wu Jun's first round of attacks and learned that Wu Jun also had three-bow crossbows.
It is necessary to be careful, but there is no need to be too afraid.
After all, the inventor of the three-bow bed crossbow was the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and after improvements by the prime minister, the three-bow bed crossbow of the Han Dynasty has long been ahead of the bed crossbow of Wei and Wu.
The bed crossbows of the Han army fired dozens of specially made feather arrows at one time, while the bed crossbows of the Wu and Wei Dynasties were still single-shot spears, and their range was only equivalent to the multi-shot bed crossbows of the Han army.
"Quickly put out the fire!"
"Hurry up!"
Li Feng returned to the deck, dodging the muskets flying in the distance while directing his soldiers to put out the fire. Although the Wu army used a single-shot spear and could not shoot intensively, the impact of the spear was stronger than the multiple shots of the Han army.
Feather arrows.
This spear basically shoots directly into the plywood, and the tip of the spear is filled with tung oil. If the Wu army is allowed to shoot so unscrupulously, the Han army will suffer great losses even if it defeats the Wu army.
"Shoot!"
"Cum!"
The generals of each ship continued to direct their men to fire rockets at the Wu army.
Since the Wu army attacked the Han army with muskets, there was no need for the Han army to save face for the Wu army.
The more than twenty warships in front of the Han army fired at the Wu army indiscriminately. Suddenly, the sky above the river was filled with sparks, like stars in the night sky.
"Put out the fire!"
"Put out the fire!"
"Prefect, be careful!"
As the Han army began to fire rockets, the Wu army's warship was on fire everywhere, with flames everywhere on the sails, plywood, and sides of the ship.
Lu Zhi held a shield in his hand, commanding the soldiers to fight back and commanding the other soldiers to put out the fire. At this moment, he was a little anxious.
Because as the war started, the Han army's firepower became more fierce.
"Shoot!"
"Don't stop!"
"Cum for me!"
"..."
Lu Zheng kept shouting, and he also saw that the Han army's crossbows were not as powerful as the Wu army's spears, but they were better than their numbers.
"Prefect!"
A primary school student said anxiously: "There are fires everywhere and we can't put them out."
"What should I do?"
The small school was really anxious. The firepower of the Han army was too fierce, almost non-stop shooting, and each round was attacked by thousands of rockets, and each rocket could set Wu Jun's warships on fire.
Lu Ju also frowned. He couldn't stop the rockets that kept pouring down, even if he tried to put out the fire.
Wait... Lu Ju glanced at the countless sparks in the sky, and then looked at the muskets that were about to be fired. He immediately raised his brows and said hurriedly: "Send the order, all the powerful crossbows attack the Han army's cabin plywood, give it to me
Shoot them!"
Lu Zheng was also busy making a living. The Han army's rockets were too dense. If they continued to shoot at each other like this, the Wu army would obviously not have the upper hand.
But——
The Wu army's single shot was a spear, but the impact of the spear was stronger than the Han army's rockets.
"No!"
The bed crossbowman immediately agreed, and immediately directed the crossbowmen to adjust their shooting positions, and all the spears were aimed at the Han army's hull.
"Let it go!"
Following the order, nearly a hundred spears roared out again, and Lu Ju nervously followed the spears away.
Bang bang, bang bang bang, bang!
The clear crashing sounds can be heard clearly even on the Wu Jun warship about 500 steps away.
The officers and soldiers on the Han army's warship were a little panicked at this moment, because they could clearly feel the violent shaking of the warship due to this round of spear attacks.
Nearly a hundred spears hit the hull at the same time, and they were all spears fired by three-bow crossbows.
‘No!’ Li Feng stood firm, but also panicked, and immediately shouted loudly: “Rush over!”
"No!"
As the two sides continued to shoot at each other, the Han army did not take the absolute initiative, and Li Feng also knew that Yiling had 30,000 Dongwu naval forces, and he led 60,000 Han naval forces. In terms of numbers, the Han army would definitely have the upper hand.
However, as the war begins, Soochow will inevitably dispatch naval forces to support. For example, the naval forces in Jiangling and Jingzhou, which are not too far away, are most likely already on their way to help.
At this moment in Yiling, the Han army has a numerical advantage, but due to the restriction of the river, the Han army cannot rely on its numerical advantage to quickly defeat the Soochow navy, not to mention the Soochow army on both sides of the Yangtze River.

Approaching the quick battle——
This is what Li Feng was thinking at the moment. As long as the two armies rush together, the Han army may be able to defeat the Wu army with its powerful warship attack, and the Han army's numerical advantage can also be used in close combat.
However, the Han warships were sailing forward quickly, while the Soochow Navy continued to slam the Han warships with their long spears. After a while, the several large Han warships in front were tilted to the naked eye.
Moreover, river water kept seeping into the cabin.
"Quickly block it!"
"Block it!"
In the cabin, the soldiers were very busy. While they were trying to speed up the warship, they were also busy blocking the cabin that was pierced by Wu Jun's long shot.
"Quick, keep cumming!"
"Shoot it down!"
"Shoot it down!"
Lu Zheng did not pay attention to the Han warships that were getting closer and closer, because he had already seen the several Han warships in front begin to tilt, because the hulls of the Han warships approaching the Wu army were already filled with spears.
, causing the Han warship to lose its balance.
Li Feng, who was in the middle army, also saw something strange about the warships in front.
"Let them turn the wheel quickly!"
"Quick, quick!"
As soon as Li Feng finished speaking, there was a sound of horns on the Han army's warships. This was the signal for the general to pass on the order.
However, the generals of the previous warships actually knew this already.
"Turn the helm quickly!"
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"Turn the helm quickly!"
Hearing the general's order, the sailors in the cabin shouted loudly: "General, we can't turn, the cabin is seriously leaking, and we can't turn at all."
The sailors had already been busy turning the helm, but it was of no avail. The main reason was that Wu Jun's spear attack was too fierce, giving them no time to react.
It was okay before the attack, because there were more than 20 warships to greet Wu Jun's spears. When Li Feng ordered the charge, Wu Jun stared at the several Han warships in front, and their spears mainly attacked these few ships.
Boat.
This immediately put the first few ships into dire straits.
At this moment, in the cabins of the first few warships, the river water has reached the knees of the sailors. The warships are not only tilting, but also being attacked by the Wu army. At the same time, as more and more river water pours in, the warships
The momentum has basically stopped.
Because the sailors are busy blocking the cabin.
"Run it for me!"
Seeing that the ships in front had stopped moving, Li Feng didn't think much and immediately ordered the warships behind to continue attacking the Wu army, because he had already seen that these Wu forces wanted to shoot and sink these warships.
Now it seems that the first few ships are in danger.
If we rush over now, we may be able to rescue them on the ships behind them before they sink, and now we can also use these ships to attract the firepower of the Wu army for the ships behind them.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Suddenly, there was a fierce drum sound on the Han commander's ship, and the other ships heard the sound and knew what it meant.
The whole army attacks!
Kill!
Kill!
Soon, the Han army's hundreds of ships sounded the deafening shouts of killing on the battlefield, and at the same time they accelerated their advance. They faced the Wu army in front of them.
'Haha——' Lu Zheng sneered: 'You want to have a decisive battle with me?'
‘I won’t be fooled by you!’
"The whole army retreats!" Lu Ju immediately issued the order.
The river in front of us is relatively wide and can accommodate twenty or thirty warships traveling side by side. However, if we go further back, the river will become much narrower.
Moreover... Lu Ju smiled coldly while watching his own warships slowly retreating, while looking at the Han warships moving quickly forward in front.
