Upstream of Yunqi City, more than thirty large boats raised their sails and took advantage of the north wind to travel rapidly down the river.
When Houmiguan was about to cross the river, the guard Wang Quan asked the warship to occupy the upstream position.
When Liao Yong was crossing the river, the building boat crashed down the river.
The so-called going down the river is like breaking bamboo.
In water battles, it is very important to occupy the upstream position.
The leader is Colonel Miao Zun.
A man as thin as a monkey hung on the top of the sail, looking downstream.
After seeing it clearly, the man slid down.
"Captain Miao, the Eastern Zhou Navy is dispatched!"
Miao Zun immediately ordered an attack at full speed.
More than thirty warships moved down the river mightily.
At this moment, the soldiers on the ship suddenly discovered many clay pots on the river.
"What it is?"
a soldier asked, pointing to the cans bobbing in the water.
Another soldier shook his head and said, "I don't know. Maybe the merchant's boat capsized and the goods flowed down the river."
In ancient times, sailing was dangerous, and it was common for merchant ships to capsize.
"No, that's a bit too much."
The soldier watched as the jar floated over and arrived next to the warship.
When Miao Zun saw the soldiers looking towards the water, he thought that the Eastern Zhou navy was swimming over.
When the navy was at war, they would sometimes send soldiers with good water resistance to sneak into the bottom of the warship and use sharp chisels to drill through it, allowing the warship to flood.
"what happened!"
Miao Zun rushed over and asked.
The soldier replied: "A lot of jars suddenly appeared on the river. I wonder if the merchant ship capsized."
Miao Zun looked upstream and saw no ships or merchants.
If a merchant ship capsizes, someone will definitely ask for help in the river.
The strangest thing is that there are too many jars.
"Pick one up and see what it is!"
Miao Zun ordered, and the soldiers immediately cast the net and fished out a jar.
Putting it on the deck, Miao Zun looked at the jar carefully.
The height is about waist height, just enough for an adult to hug him.
"What's in there? It's a little heavy."
"Is it wine? It looks like a wine jar to me."
The soldier saw that the jar looked a bit like a wine jar, which made everyone hungry for wine.
"You'll know if you open it and take a look."
Miao Zun ordered, and two soldiers pulled out the stopper of the clay pot.
A faint smell of smoke came out, with some incense ash inside.
"Scent? What's in it?"
The soldier looked at the incense inside strangely, and the smell of smoke came out.
Miao Zun stepped forward and stretched his head...
boom!
The clay pot suddenly exploded, Miao Zun was blown up, and the surrounding generals and soldiers were blown up at the same time.
When the explosion occurred on the deck, the clay pots on the river also began to explode one after another.
When the clay pot close to the warship exploded, the wooden ship was split open and water seeped into the warship through the cracks.
The soldiers in the cabin didn't know what happened. They only heard a muffled sound and the cabin cracked.
"It's flooded, it's flooded!"
The soldiers panicked and fled to the deck.
There is more than one leaking gap, and in this case, it is absolutely impossible to stop it.
These pottery pots were arranged by Long Chen.
The soldiers followed the instructions, lit the incense in the clay pot filled with explosives, and then poured down the water.
When these pottery jars floated to the Nanliang warship, the incense burnt out and the explosives inside exploded.
Of course, not every clay pot can float right next to the warship, and the time of explosion is also different.
But if enough clay pots are released upstream, the warship can be blown up.
Of the more than thirty warships, a dozen were blown up and sank on the spot, and soldiers jumped aboard.
The lucky soldiers climbed onto other warships to escape, but the unlucky soldiers happened to encounter a clay pot explosion and were killed and sank into the river.
Miao Zun was blown beyond recognition by a pottery pot and died on the spot. The other generals were pierced by pottery shards and were seriously injured.
The Nanliang soldiers had never seen anything like this and were overwhelmed by the bombing.
"Captain Miao is dead, what should I do?"
The navy was thrown into confusion and fear.
"This is Long Chen's sorcery. They are right, Long Chen is not a human being!"
There are many rumors about Long Chen. Many people say that Long Chen is no longer a human being, but a demon.
Now when I see a clay pot suddenly exploding, it is no different from a witchcraft.
The soldiers were even more convinced that Long Chen was a demon.
The remaining warships sailed towards the river, and the soldiers abandoned the ships and fled.
North of Yunqi City.
On the flagship of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty ship, Long Chen stood on a pole with a big bow in his hand.
A thin layer of mist spread over the river, and fragments of warships floated down from the upper reaches.
Liao Yong looked at the river and said happily: "Wu Wang is a divine man, and the Nanliang warships are finished!"
Before the war started, Liao Yong said that the Nanliang ships should be destroyed first and then cross the river.
Long Chen said not to worry, he had his own arrangements.
Liao Yong was a little skeptical at first, but now that he saw the fragments, he knew that Nanliang's warship was doomed.
He didn't know about explosives yet, so he thought it was amazing.
"How did King Wu destroy the warships of Nanliang?"
The deputy general looked at the debris and corpses floating down the river in shock.
Liao Yong smiled and said: "We will ask King Wu again after we capture Yunqi City!"
"Beat the war drums and attack at full speed!"
After destroying the Nanliang warship, everyone was a hundred times more confident.
The war drums beat, and the navy attacks at full speed.
On Yunqi City, deputy general Chen Sheng saw the debris floating down and was shocked.
"General Wang, our warship seems to have sunk."
Wang Quan looked towards the river and felt a lot of chill in his heart.
In this battle, the warships upstream are very important.
The warships rushed down the river and attacked the Eastern Zhou navy from the side. The fast ships attacked from the front, and then the crossbowmen on the city released arrows.
In this way, it won't be a problem to defend Yunqicheng.
But I didn't expect that the warship had just begun and the warship was destroyed.
"what happened?"
Wang Quan couldn't understand why.
In order to kill more than thirty warships, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty must dispatch an equal number of warships.
It will be a huge fight that will last for a long time.
But Wang Quan saw no fighting, only fragments and corpses floating down the river.
Lieutenant General Chen Sheng was also confused and wanted to know what happened.
"Should we send someone to see what's going on?"
A young general suggested, but Wang Quan immediately rejected it and said: "The troops are approaching the city, what's there to see? Clippers attack!"
Why is no longer important. The Eastern Zhou navy has arrived at the city and we will finish the battle.
Lieutenant General Chen Sheng immediately ordered the Clippers to attack.
The fast boats on the water immediately rushed towards the warships of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
On the flagship, Long Chen held a big bow and looked at the speeding ship. He lit a rocket and shot at the speeding ship.
call out!
The rocket drew an arc and landed on the clipper, and the firewood inside burned immediately.
When Long Chen shot the first arrow, the other crossbowmen on the boat also started to fire rockets.
Before the clipper could reach the warship, it was set on fire by rockets, and the soldiers on board jumped into the water to escape.
There were many clippers, and some fish slipped through the net. They rushed to the side of the warship, and the soldiers immediately used long poles to push the clippers away.
More than a hundred fast boats rushed out, and only a few came close to the warships.
Thick smoke filled the river, and soon drifted downstream with the current. The warships of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had already arrived at the edge of the city.
Wang Quan looked at the Eastern Zhou flagship. Standing on it was a man wearing green dragon armor, a big bow in his hand, and a big dragon character behind him.
"King Wu..."
Seeing this scene, Wang Quan was sure that Long Chen was really here.
The other generals were also stunned when they saw Long Chen.
"Long Chen is really here!"
Vice General Chen Sheng exclaimed, and other generals were also frightened.
The moment he saw Long Chen, Wang Quan knew that Yunqicheng was finished.
