Chapter 40 Thunder Strike (2)

At the third hour of the Chen Dynasty, a fierce drum suddenly sounded from the warship in Tanzhou located in the east. The gate of the Tanzhou Daying Camp on the land was shouted and pushed open by eight soldiers. Teams of fully armed soldiers shouted neatly and rushed out of the camp in order of cavalry, archers, swords and shields, and baggage soldiers, and quickly formed square formations in front of the camp.

The Langzhou Army Camp, which had been highly alert, also responded to the sound and competed with the opponent to arrange their troops in an orderly manner. The Langzhou defenders on Meizhou City were also dispatched, and they formed three rows on the city wall, waiting for the battle.

The Tanzhou army had just finished arranging the formation, and another rush drum came from behind the battle formation. Teams of archers immediately walked along the gap left by the sword and shield soldiers to the front of the battle formation, and rushed forward with neat steps. A chief lieutenant let out a roar and shot the arrow in his hand diagonally upwards.

Could it be that the Tanzhou Army will launch an attack on land that does not have an advantage?

The Langzhou army did not dare to neglect, and all the sword and shield soldiers were nearly one-man tall and stacked up neatly to prepare to face the enemy.

The rapid sound of arrows fell between the two armies with sharp whistles. For a moment, everyone's eyes were temporarily attracted to the noisy river bank.

Before the sound of arrows fell, small boats quickly jumped out from the middle of the gap in the huge warship group in Tanzhou. Each boat had two crew members, quietly rowing with their heads and all their might. The boats filled with dry firewood lined up into a line of not neat lines. With the help of the southeast wind, the speed was getting faster and faster, heading towards the Langzhou warship.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the fleet sailed across the middle line of the warships between the two armies. A rapid drum sounded, followed by a deafening gong. The soldiers on the boat stopped rowing, picked up the torch at the stern, quickly lit the dry firewood covered with tinder oil and fire-driven objects, and then shouted in unison, turned around and jumped into the water, swam desperately to the rear. Behind, several small warships rushed out to pick up the soldiers who were diving.

On the command ship of the Langzhou Navy, Lin Feng insisted that the Tanzhou Army would only attack from the water first, and his eyes were always distracted and paid attention to the movement of the opponent's fleet.

When the other party's small boat appeared, Lin Feng immediately poked the commander Wang Kui beside him and pointed to the small boats. After Lin Feng sent his special soldiers to the expedition, he got off from Ma Xi'e's sightseeing boat and took his brothers directly to Wang Kui's command boat.

Wang Kui smiled softly and said, "Mr. Lin, just watch the battle quietly!" After that, he picked up a small red flag in his right hand and waved it three times in a hurry.

The order was immediately teleported out, and a big red flag mast swung three times on the top.

A long row of small boats that had been waiting behind the first row of large boats immediately sailed and faced the Tanzhou army's boats.

On the Tanzhou Army's command ship, Xu Zhongya stared at the boats that were jumping out nervously. She saw the small boats that seemed to be slowly stopped not far from the roster of warships in Langzhou, and then all came over. The soldiers on the boat quickly wrapped the bow and stern together with ropes, and then jumped into the water in a hurry.

"I'm going to bump into it!" Xu Zhongya couldn't help but shout.

"Brother Xu, please don't be nervous. Our boat is so fast that it will definitely knock the blocked boat away!" Liu Yingjiang replied easily.

With the help of the wind, many small boats that had already become fireballs hit the blocking Long Snake fleet one after another. To Liu Yingjiang's surprise, except for a few fire ships who successfully broke through the blocking line, most of the small boats suddenly crashed into it and did not successfully cross it, but forced the Long Snake fleet backed a little.

"No, there is something strange about the other party's boat!" Xu Zhongya shouted loudly.

"It is very likely that it is installed on the river! It not only increases the weight of the ship, but also blocks the fire. I understand Wang Kui, the other party's commander, and I am very puzzled. I will not come up with such a way to deal with it in the face of battle!" Liu Yingjiang was also a little surprised, muttered to himself, and immediately cheered up, "Soldiers are ready! Everyone should attack with a drum!"

In Liu Yingjiang's view, even if the fire attack does not work, it is not a problem to force the opponent to eat.

"Hey, Lord Liu, what is that?" Xu Zhongya suddenly pointed to a moving floating object in front of the bow of the boat and shouted.

Liu Yingjiang glanced at Xu Zhongya with dissatisfaction. This scholar just couldn't let them go to the battlefield. When is it now? Why are you causing trouble?

"A few more groups came, and it didn't seem to be floating along the water!" Xu Zhongya was anxious and grabbed Liu Yingjiang's sleeve.

Liu Yingjiang muttered and stretched out his head to look. Indeed, there were several spherical floating objects gathering not far from the front of the bow of the boat.

"Pig Pig Pig?" Liu Yingma was also a little confused. In addition to the scattered aquatic plants on the floating objects, the round objects really looked like blown pig pig pig pig pig pigs. How could such dirty things suddenly appear on the water?

Just as Liu Yingjiang was stunned, several floating objects gathered together suddenly sank down. Several people who could not see clearly formed a circle and jumped out of the water. They used their hands to force, and a big man with his upper body and a big bow suddenly appeared in the air circle in the middle.

The big man suddenly shook off the water droplets on his head, pulled his right hand back, and the three sharp arrows that had already been holding in his hand made a "clang" sound, and rushed straight to Liu Yingjiang's door.

"Enemy attack!" Liu Yingjiang shouted, and he was retreating quickly on the side of the ship's body.

Three arrows flew past, and the arrow on the left fell to nothing. The arrow in the middle rubbed Liu Yingjiang's ears through, which made him fall to the sky. The arrow on the right shot the Gao Guan of Xu Zhongya on the side, frightening the literati so much that he sat on the board.

"Mr. Liu was attacked!" Several soldiers shouted wildly at the same time, and the news immediately spread. After hearing the news, all the soldiers on the command ship shouted wildly, carrying weapons and running towards the bow of the ship.

At this moment, an iron grab hook quietly laid on the side of the ship at the stern. For a few breaths, a head with a steel knife in his mouth appeared on the outside of the ship's side, which was Lin Renzhao.

Needless to say, this was a sneak attack by the special forces soldiers who made a sound attack from the west and the east. The small warship they were riding was moving from the north to the rear of the Tanzhou fleet and swaggered into the fleet.

In a large fleet of 150 ships, a small boat was inconspicuous at all. Even if there were occasional calls from neighboring ships, Lin Renzhao and others asked the boatman to answer that he wanted to go ahead to pick up the soldiers who were diving, which naturally did not arouse much suspicion.

Because Liu Yingjiang decided to take the initiative to attack, the command ship he was riding was very front and was in the fourth row of the overall fleet.

The boat walked forward leisurely for a while. Not far from the tall and eye-catching command ship, the special special forces soldiers took advantage of the time when they intersected with a large ship and quietly slid down the water one by one, hung the pig's croaking that had just been blown on the boat above their arms, and held the hollow reed tube folded from the riverside in their mouths, and slowly swam towards the command ship.

The person who shot archery and attacked in front of the command ship was Qin Hansheng, the archery instructor of the special forces. They had practiced this method of archery and attacking suddenly emerged under the water for archery and sneak attacks in the valley many times. This time, with the help of the pigtails, they completed it smoothly. Qin Hansheng was able to almost hit the target the moment he exposed the water, which had successfully attracted the attention of all the soldiers on the ship.

All three were missed! Qin Hansheng cursed angrily, and shot three more arrows in his hand. Before the crew had time to counterattack, they threw the quiver and the big bow and pierced them into the water. The four teammates who were holding him next to him also pulled off the pig's leash and dived down quickly.

Soon, basically all the soldiers surrounded the bow of the ship and kept shooting arrows at the place where several people had just appeared.

Liu Yingjiang, who was shocked, jumped up from the ground, pulled Xu Zhongya, who was still sitting on the ground, and reached out in anger to snatch a large bow and an arrow from a soldier, and shot a fierce arrow at the position where Qin Hansheng had just appeared.

The river water kept surging waves, and there were no more people. However, all the pigs floating on the water were shot through by the scolding soldiers.

Liu Yingjiang took the lead and found that all the soldiers on the boat were around him. He felt an ominous premonition in his heart and immediately shouted loudly: "I am fine, all the soldiers will go back to you!"

At this time, it's too late!

Lin Renzhao, Feng Jingyun, Wei San and Zhang Bin had already overturned the ship and formed a semicircular defense circle at the boarding ship. Cheng Yuehai, Liu Qi and Chen Lifei, who were closely following him, also quickly approached the rope.
