Several warships rushing in the front collided one after another. Dozens of soldiers fell into the water, struggled hard in the cold water, and were shot by dense arrows, making shrill screams. Those who were shot at the vital point were killed immediately

Those who were slightly injured gritted their teeth and persevered, while those who were lucky enough not to be injured tried to swim to other warships.

It was winter, and every soldier was wearing a zither armor, which was also a thick battle jacket. It was originally quite bulky. Once it fell into the water, it was even more heavy as if it was falling from a stone, pulling them down.

Just as Wu Jun's eager shouts, one person disappeared, and another person disappeared, leaving only splashes of water on the water.

Zhou Yin also fell into the water. He was wearing fine armor, with smaller armor leaves, stronger protection ability, but heavier. He was dragged into the water, and his eyes were full of the bottom of the warship and the chaotic oars, several branches.

The oar hit him. Around him, a long arrow shot into the water. Although he could not hear the "swoosh" sound of breaking through the air, a string of bubbles made the trajectory of the feather arrow more obvious.

But the surroundings were quiet, so quiet that it was unreal. Time seemed to have suddenly slowed down, and every feathered arrow was clearly visible. Zhou Yin could almost see the bubbles attached to the arrows when they separated the water. He tried hard to open his eyes wide and his eyes were looking at them.

Through the river water for more than ten steps, a thick black shadow was vaguely seen standing silently in the water.

Before he could see clearly, he was suddenly pulled out of the water by someone. The sound of water filled his ears, causing his tranquility to disappear without a trace.

"Guardian, are you okay?" Several personal guards rushed up, protected Zhou Yin, and examined his body.

"I'm fine." Zhou Yin spit out two sips of water, took off his helmet, poured out the water inside, then untied his armor, and walked towards the cabin. Every time he took, there was a sound of water stomping under his feet, making a rush.

He sat down and gasped in a big mouthful.

"Zhongying, take off your wet clothes soon." Zhou Jun followed in and shouted loudly: "Don't be frozen."

Zhou Yin responded and untied his coat. The cold wind came in through the window, making him cold all over. Zhou Yin was suddenly stunned and his hands stopped. He thought for a moment, turned around and rushed out of the cabin again, and thumped

Jumped into the water.

"Zhongying, what are you doing?"

Zhou Yin couldn't hear what Zhou Jun was calling. He dived hard and searched with his eyes wide open. He quickly found the black shadow he had just seen and swam over. With the light coming from the water, he

I saw that it was a tree trunk.

A tree trunk with a thick hug slowly shaking in the water.

Zhou Yin took a breath of air conditioning. Such a thick tree was hidden under the water, and the depth was exactly the position of the tummy of the boat. Once the warship that was advancing rapidly was rubbed, it would probably fly. How could the people on the boat not fall into the water?

He pushed hard, but could not push. At this time, he felt that he was not angry enough, so he let go of the wood and emerged from the water, preparing to change his breath and dive again. As soon as he showed up, Zhou Jun saw it and reached out to his hand

He pulled him up and cursed in anger: "You are crazy!"

"There is something under the water." Zhou Yin struggled, "I haven't seen it clearly yet, please let me take a look."

Zhou Jun, who has always been gentle, changed his face this time and cursed loudly: "You are the commander, not the water guard, why do you take risks with yourself? Come up! You, you, go into the water to see what it is!"

Zhou Jun pointed at three soldiers in a row. The three soldiers took off their clothes without saying a word and turned over into the water. They were all water soldiers with excellent water properties, and were specifically responsible for investigating underwater. They were even stronger than Zhou Yinlai.

After a while, Zhou Yin knew that Zhou Jun's arrangement was correct, so he climbed onto the boat. When the wind blew, the whole body became cold and he couldn't help but sneeze.

"yawn!"

"Go back, go back!" Zhou Jun directed the warship to turn around without saying a word, but was stopped by Zhou Yin. Zhou Yin twisted the wet war jacket, put it on his body, and tied it to the side of the ship to watch.

Not long after, the three water pawns emerged one after another.

"The commander, there are big trunks under the water, tied with bamboo strips, and there should be stones underneath, so that the trunks will not be exposed to the water. We are suffering this loss."

"This guy is so sinister!" Zhou Yin slapped the boat gang hard and cursed. There were a lot of bamboo on the mountains on both sides, big trees, and the barbarians led by Wei Ba were relying on the mountains to eat the mountains. Of course, it was clearer about how to use bamboo.

Bamboo strips and twisted into ropes are far tougher than ordinary ropes. They are underwater and are difficult to cut even with a knife. These bamboo strips are hidden in the water, which are difficult to remove obstacles.

.The faster the warship sails, the greater the danger of capsizing before these obstacles are cleared.

"Retreat!" Zhou Yin no longer hesitated and immediately ordered a retreat.

Half an hour later, the first charge of the Wu army ended in a crushing defeat. Less than one-third of the warships slowed down in time and did not hit them. They came back safely. Other warships capsized in the water, some of which were sunk.

Although some of them did not sink, the soldiers above had fallen into the water and drifted downstream along the water.

Zhou Yin told Zhu Ji very much about what he saw. Wei Ba actually came up with such a solution. No wonder he was able to fight in Xiangyang better than the Wu army, who was dominant with the navy.

"Then you can't hurry. Send someone to clear these obstacles first." Zhu Ji said, looking at the three hundred steps long water surface, he sighed secretly. He understood why Wei Ba had to build such a long cliff on both sides.

The plank road is here, which is intended to prevent them from clearing the obstacles underwater. There are so many things that need to be completely removed, and it is impossible to do it in less than three or five days, and the loss of manpower is even more incalculable.

"You can't wait!" Zhou Yin, who had changed into dry clothes, listened to Zhu Ji's plan and rejected it without hesitation. "We don't have that much time. With more General Lu's army, our food supply is even tighter, and it's time to delay

The longer it is, the worse it is for us.”

"What are some good suggestions for Zhongying?"

"Use a bamboo raft." Zhou Yin sneezed two more times and rubbed his nose: "The bamboo raft is shallow and can move forward."

"But the bamboo raft has no protective ability." Zhu Ji frowned, "In this way, our casualties will be very large."

Zhou Yin asked back: "Do you think these people are better to die in battle or to starve to death?"

Zhu Ji was speechless and sighed after a long time. He knew what Zhou Yin meant. Wei Ba arranged obstacles underwater, of course, the purpose was to delay their attack speed. At present, they had no better way, or risked major casualties.

To fight for time, either risk the risk of breaking out of food and collapse, there is no better one, but which one is worse. The two evils are the least. Zhou Yin's solution is also unsuccessful.

"Okay, use a bamboo raft." Zhu Ji gritted his teeth and agreed. He sent someone to inform Pan Jun and prepared the bamboo raft at the same time. When Pan Jun received the reward, he sighed and could not find a better solution. He just asked for Zhu Ji's attack and obstacle clearance are carried out at the same time, so as to try to clear underwater obstacles as soon as possible. Use warships with stronger combat power to fight to minimize casualties.

After half a day of preparation, a large number of bamboo rafts were put on the battlefield instead of the warships, and the water-proficient watermen were also arranged to go into the water to clear the obstacles that were dragged by the huge rocks.

Wei Ba stood at a high place and saw the bamboo raft driving out of the Wu army formation. He smiled silently.

The battle began again, and the Wu army rowed a bamboo raft and advanced. The water was too deep to support it with bamboo poles, so they could only rely on the oars to control it. The Wu army seemed clumsy. In the face of the attacks on both sides of the strait, they were tired of dealing with it. The bamboo raft was again There is no tent. Those soldiers can only use shields to protect them. They have some effect on arrows and shields, but when stones fall, they are not so lucky.

A sharp arrow shot from the sky, taking away fresh lives. Stones fell from the air, splashing water columns several feet high, and countless bamboo rafts were hit. The bamboo rafts split and soldiers fell into the water. The clear river water becomes turbid and bloody because of them, and even the water pumped up has a smell of blood.

One day of fierce battle, the Wu army lost more than 2,000 people, and the front line only advanced for about ten steps. After listening to Zhu Ji's report, Pan Jun issued an order expressionlessly, allowing more soldiers to go up the mountain to cut bamboo and wood overnight, preparing for the update. There are many bamboo rafts and wooden rafts, and they will increase their offensives. At present, he has no better way to imagine except to take advantage of the large number of people.

As Zhou Yin said, instead of waiting for the food to collapse and collapse, it is better to let these people die in battle. If they can use up the arrows and stones prepared by Wei Ba, they may have a chance to break through.

This is cruel, but isn’t war cruel? Wei Ba is also cruel. He wants to block all more than 10,000 people just thirty miles from Chenyang, and let more than 10,000 people see it He starved to death with the food that was so close.

When Pan Jun thought of this scene, he felt a chill.

At the same time, Wei Ba was sitting on the overpass across the two sides, looking at the Wu army battle formation in the distance and pondering. However, he was not looking at Pan Jun and Lu Dai in the west, but Lu Xun in the east. The camp was five miles downstream. Today, when Pan Jun launched an attack, Lu Xun's warship sailed in front of Longtan and was ready to respond, but he did not launch an attack, but just watched the formation.

Wei Ba didn't know what Lu Xun was thinking, was it because the attack was too difficult or was it confident in Pan Jun? But he knew it, just because Pan Jun's current situation would be enough to break through his position in less than half a month. It is possible. Half a month later, even if he breaks through the position, his army of ten thousand will lose more than half, and his strategic goals will still be achieved.

He was wondering what method Lu Xun would use to break his situation. He was very curious.

"Young master, it's over." Jin Dongliu walked over carefully. He was good at riding horses and was not unfamiliar with water battles, but when he walked on this shaking overpass a hundred feet in the air, he looked down. He didn't even have the courage. He didn't understand why Wei Ba liked to stand in such a place and was in the mood to drink. If this was a mistake, he wouldn't even find a shadow if he fell down.

"how?"

"The total number of Wu soldiers who have been salvaged is 873, including 251 corpses, 131 seriously injured, and the remaining 491 are slightly injured. Just rest for a while

Can be restored.”

“How many of the undead people are willing to surrender?”

"There are twenty-three people seriously injured, and two hundred and fifteen people are slightly injured."

"Stay those who are willing to surrender, kill those who are unwilling to surrender, hide the bodies. Throw the other bodies into the water and let Lu Xun see them." Wei Ba gave out a long breath, as if he was talking to himself.

"We can't afford to support prisoners."

Killing prisoners? Jin Dongliu's scalp numb, hesitated for a moment, and bowed to take the order.
