"Marshal, just came to report that the Dazhou navy appeared in front of us on the left, should we press up immediately?" Wen Yi asked Tong Xiang for his opinion.
The Great Zhou Navy?
The corner of Tong Xiang's mouth raised.
"Da Zhou Navy? I have heard that Zhou Yi is secretly training sailors and wants to create Da Zhou's own sailors. I have never seen it before. I didn't expect this mysterious sailor to appear today. It is really curious. .¡±
Tong Xiang said indifferently, but a bit of contempt could still be heard in his tone. As for the navy, he is naturally number one in Nanchu.
The Great Zhou Navy?
Tong Xiang didn't take it to heart at all.
"Zhou Yi has worked so hard for this sailor all these years, and even tried to win over talents from our Southern Chu at all costs. Unfortunately, what he has learned is only superficially from us."
Wen Yi followed Tong Xiang's words.
They also knew that Zhou Yi was training sailors, and they also knew that Zhou Yi recruited talents from Southern Chu, and secretly learned from Nanchu sailors.
There is no way to prevent this matter.
Zhou Yi has indeed learned a lot over the years, but it is only superficial, how could Nan Chu show his real ability to others so easily.
"I don't know how much our good scholar has learned."
Tong Xiang said curiously.
He really wanted to see how much Zhou Yi had learned.
"What does the Marshal mean?" Wen Yi looked at Tong Xiang, waiting for Tong Xiang's order.
"Since Da Zhou chose to send out the navy, we will play with them. Don't rush to press up, let them approach. We are strong in water battles, so we don't need to be afraid at all."
Tong Xiang said calmly, in Tong Xiang's eyes, their current relationship is like an eagle and a chicken.
"Understood!"
Wen Yi understood Tong Xiang's words.
Wen Yi came to the deck.
"The order is that all naval warships retreat, and the left and right wings spread out towards the sides for me to maintain the arc moon formation."
Wen Yi gave an order, and as the command flag on the deck waved, the navy warships began to slowly spread out towards the sides, and slowly the warships formed a formation.
"General, I heard that the Dazhou Navy has appeared. Are we going to fight hard?" Someone said excitedly.
They are not Da Zhou's opponents in the field battle, but Nan Chu has never been afraid of anyone in the water battle, and no one wants to take advantage of them when they come.
"It's going to be a big fight. This time we will completely shatter Da Zhou's illusion of building a navy." Wen Yi replied with a smile.
Zhou Yi wanted to build the Great Zhou Navy, so they let Zhou Yi know what the reality looks like
"Your Highness!"
Zhou Heng and others also stood on the deck to observe the situation on the Yuanjiang River. From a distance, the Nanchu warship had already come into view, and black spots swayed on the river surface, that was the Nanchu warship.
"You are back!"
Zhou Heng saw that Zhuang Miao and others had come back from investigating the enemy's situation.
"How did they react when they saw our navy?" Chao Dingshan asked Nan Chu's reaction eagerly.
"They didn't press up, but retreated and unfolded the arc moon formation, with the large Nanchu warships in the middle, and medium and small warships on both sides."
Zhuang Miao told Zhou Heng and others about the formation of the Nanchu warship.
"Are you still in formation?" Chao Dingshan didn't expect that Nanchu would still be in formation.
"The arc moon formation is a relatively common formation in water battles. They are complementary formations. As soon as the enemy warship enters their attack range, the arc moon formation will start to gather and surround from both sides. The two sides are responsible for containing the enemy. The middle The main warships in charge of the attack."
"And I heard that medium-sized warships are mainly responsible for ramming enemy warships. This is a relatively difficult formation."
Bian Zhong said solemnly, although he has not participated in water battles, he has also studied water battles and water battle formations. After all, their opponent Nan Chu is a very powerful opponent in water battles.
"They didn't press up but formed a formation, so we don't need to be anxious. We ordered the three armies to move forward slowly, and we stopped when we reached the parallel line with the Nanchu Navy."
Zhou Heng passed on the order, and now they have to hold their breath. Nanchu's arc moon formation clearly wants to let them fall into their trap.
This water battle is not a field battle. Once surrounded, it will be difficult to break out, and the shrinking space will seriously affect the navigation of warships.
The army moves forward slowly.
When the sunset glowed over the river and the fiery red streamer flickered, Zhou Heng and the others finally arrived at their destination.
The two armies are on a parallel line, and the distance between the two sides is less than two miles.
"come yet?"
Tong Xiang also came to the deck, and looked at the Dazhou navy warship opposite with a smile. After waiting for so long, the prey really took the bait.
"Marshal, I don't know what Da Zhou is thinking, but he wants to fight us in the water."
Wen Yi said with a smile.
Da Zhou's advantage is obviously field battles, but he gave up his strengths and chose to use his weaknesses to fight against them in Nanchu.
I really don't know if they are too confident or too underestimated.
"People are always inflated. Zhou Yi thought that after a few years of training, he could train a powerful sailor. He just wanted to show us off."
Tong Xiang said lightly, as if all of this was in Tong Xiang's expectation, just like a child who always liked to show off when he was young, and Zhou Yi is like this now.
"Then they found the wrong opponent."
Wen Yi said that even if Zhou Yi wanted to prove his achievements, he shouldn't look for them in Nanchu. The navy of Nanchu is the best in the world. If Zhou Yi wants to prove his achievements, he might knock his teeth out.
"Yeah, but it's a good thing for us."
Tong Xiang said that he was very happy that Zhou Yi could do such a thing.
"Marshal, the third edict has come from the imperial court. If we defeat the Great Zhou Navy this time, can we give the imperial court an answer?"
Wenyi asked Tong Xiang.
Inside Southern Chu, the common people complained everywhere, and the common people suggested that Southern Chu withdraw its troops, but the Southern Chu court always advocated attacking, and the court felt that as long as they won the battlefield, they could make up for the current losses at once.
Therefore, the imperial court has urged them for the third time to win the battle, to give an answer to the court and to the people.
And when Tong Xiang was worrying, Da Zhou Navy appeared.
This is empathy.
"En." Tong Xiang nodded, Wen Yi was right, they could indeed give the court an answer after defeating the Great Zhou Navy, which is one of the reasons why Tong Xiang was in a good mood after hearing about the Great Zhou Navy.
"Report, the Dazhou navy arrived directly opposite us, but they didn't make any movement."
Someone came to report.
"Really?" Tong Xiang was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that the Dazhou Navy could hold back, this was their first battle, Tong Xiang thought they would directly press up and fight them to the death.
After all, there is a saying that goes well, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
