After the order was passed, the 30,000 Daqi soldiers began to board their respective warships in an orderly manner with excitement. Taishi Ci rode off and rushed to the special battleship fleet parked at the innermost side of the water camp. "The soldiers who boarded the ordinary warships were deeply puzzled by the strange-looking fighting ships. "Ziming, look at Taishi Ziyi's warship. There seems to be something placed on the front deck, which is covered with black cloth. What could be hidden there?" Xu Sheng asked with a foxy look on his face. These more than one hundred battleships were built by Zhuge Liang in Yizhou, and even the soldiers were Yizhou soldiers. They have always looked like this since they were sent to Jiangling to rendezvous. Lu Meng shook his head and said with the same suspicion: "Your Majesty just said that these five thousand naval troops and one hundred special fighting ships are reserved for defeating the enemy. Even I don't know about these ships built in Yizhou." "What's so special about it?" Lu Mengtong was full of doubts. Although he was full of enthusiasm and devoted himself to this battle, he still had no idea how powerful the new warships were. Can figure it out. The flag waved, and the trumpet sounded loud and long. The front fleet led by Lu Meng and Xu Sheng took the lead to leave the water stronghold. More than 400 fighting ships and ordinary fleets led by stern ships quickly formed an attack formation on the river. Then, Taishi Ci led The mysterious fighting fleet also left the water camp. At this time, Yuan Fang also boarded a huge fighting ship and accompanied the rear army. Although Yuan Fang is not used to water warfare, the stakes in this battle are of great importance. Even if he can't personally drive the ship into battle, Yuan Fang must be among the navy officers and soldiers. Only he exists. Only in this way can we give the greatest encouragement to these soldiers who will be bathed in blood, and let them know that their emperor is fighting side by side with them. The sound of water crashing came one after another. There were more than 500 large and small warships, 30,000 naval soldiers, and all the naval assets owned by Yuan Fang. They came out in full force and headed towards the Red Cliff diagonally across the bank. Today, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the wind is neither strong nor slow. It is the perfect time to use troops on the water and fight. Although it is late autumn now and the weather on the river is already cold, the soldiers are not aware of the cold. The surging blood was enough to make them feel the heat. The imperial flag with the word "Qi" in it made a sound under the caress of the river wind. Yuan Fang stood with his halberd in hand, his distance pupils opened, and a pair of cold eagle eyes stared straight ahead. Fa Zheng, as the ship's counselor, also stood beside him with a solemn expression. Fazheng's eyes flashed with worry from time to time. Even though it had entered a state of war, Fazheng still thought. This battle was a little too hasty. The fleet has not been sailing for a long time, and the Tianshui ends in front of it. Vast cloud shadows began to come into view. The shadows of clouds spreading flat on the river gradually drifted closer and closer. Soon, the image finally became clear in the field of vision, and the fleet of the Cao-Sun coalition finally showed their ferocious faces. Nearly eight hundred warships, large and small, stretched across the wide river, roaring like a giant white dragon. The first ones to open the way were five huge building ships, with dozens of fighting ships surrounding them, and countless stern ships interspersed among them. Before the war started, the enemy had already shown the advantage of their giant ships, as if trying to undermine the morale of the Qi army. Although Yuan Fang was located in the rear, his distant telescope could see the shadow of the sails, and Yuan Fang could vaguely see the huge shadow of the enemy's ship. That momentum gives people a sense of psychological intimidation at a glance. On the own ship, tens of thousands of Qi army officers and soldiers clenched their weapons, and their nerves became tense. Lu Meng, who was on the front battleship, stared coldly at the oncoming Cao-Sun coalition fleet, his fists gradually clenched. Lu Meng could clearly see the battleships and flags on the opposite side. He knew who was commanding this huge fleet. That is Zhou Yu, who is famous all over the world, who stretches across the Yangtze River, and is almost like the god of naval forces. And he, Lu Meng, was an unknown person. Compared with Zhou Yu's reputation, it was as good as in the sky or on the earth. However, all this is no longer important. "Koto Mijuro, today, let me, Lu Meng, let you be the stepping stone for me to become famous all over the world!" In his heart, ambition was burning wildly, and Lu Meng tightened his grip on the sword in his hand. The fleet moved faster and faster, and the two huge fleets were no longer within a mile of each other. For the navy, this distance has reached the range of combat. At the rear of the army, the flags were waving, the drums were beating into the sky, and the roaring sound drowned out the sound of the rolling river. The signal for Yuan Fang's attack has been sent out, and the decisive battle is right in front of us. Lu Meng, who was on the fighting ship, had been waiting for this moment, so he raised his sword angrily, pointed at the enemy in front, and said sternly: "Attack the whole army, kill all the enemy thieves -" Hundreds of warships suddenly He increased his speed and pounced towards the enemy fleet like a mad shark on the water. The big flag with the word "Lu" is proud and fearless, rushing forward quickly. Zhou Yu, who was on the giant building boat, stood with his cloak swaying as if he was relaxed. Although his face was ruined, from a distance, he still looked handsome. With disdainful eyes, he glanced forward and soon saw the giant flag with the word "LV" in it. The general's flag was almost several times the size of an ordinary flag. It seemed that Qi Jun was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see it, so they deliberately made it so huge to show off to Zhou Yu. "Lu Meng" Zhou Yu sneered and said disdainfully: "Are you an unknown rat worthy of fighting with me, Zhou Yu? Send an order to Ling Tong, ordering him to attack immediately and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop." The flag waved, and the front army was at the front. Ling Tong received the order and quickly dispatched 10,000 naval troops to attack the rushing Qi fleet. The two fleets rushed toward each other. When they were more than two hundred steps apart, they took the lead in launching strong bows and crossbows. Whoosh whoosh! Amidst the buzzing sound in the sky, countless arrows rose into the sky, intertwined into a dragnet in the sky, and roared towards the opponent's ship. The screams, the sound of falling into the water, and the shouts all became loud in the blink of an eye. The arrows could not stop the rushing warships, and the two armies fired arrows at each other. Soon they collided together. The fighting ship relies on its height and protective power, and the crossbowmen in it are arranged around it. Shoot arrows endlessly at enemy ships. The rushing ship relies on its speed advantage to intersperse among the chaos, approach the enemy warship at will, and engage in hand-to-hand combat on board the ship. The navies of both sides, with three to four hundred fighting ships, were entangled in the middle of the river and fell into a fierce melee. Although Cao and Sun allied forces owned several large ships. He has an advantage in battleship performance, but Lu Meng is no ordinary person. After years of painstaking study, he has a good understanding of the enemy's water warfare tactics, which makes up for the lack of battleship performance to a certain extent. Moreover, Lu Meng, who was eager to become famous, was determined to die. Such a desperate fight inspired his soldiers to fight without regard for their own safety, and actually fought evenly with the enemy. Zhou Yu, who was watching the battle from the Chinese army, had an increasingly angry look on his face. The melee on the river has been going on for half an hour, and there are countless bodies floating on the river. The number of dead and wounded soldiers in his own army was as good as that of Qi's army, which made Zhou Yu very angry. He originally hoped that Ling Tong could quickly defeat Lu Meng's front army and cut off the head of the unknown rat as a sacrifice to himself. But judging from the current situation, his good wishes may be difficult to realize. "Send the order. Order Huang Gong to seize his ships and send them all to the battle. I must cut off Lu Meng's head." Another quarter of an hour of stalemate with Lu Meng will be a great blow to Zhou Yu's reputation. He could no longer bear the humiliation and issued another order angrily. "Gong Jin, Yuan Fang's front army has not yet all entered the battle. Isn't it a little early for the entire army of General Huang to attack at this time?" Lu Su, who was next to him, couldn't help but remind him. Zhou Yu snorted coldly and said proudly: "So what? I just want to draw all of Yuan Fang's warships out of the battle, so that he will not retreat in fear when the situation is not good later." Zhou Yu's intention is also It is not unreasonable. If Yuan Fang sees that the situation is not good and withdraws with his remaining troops, then Zhou Yu will not be able to annihilate the main force of Yuan Fang's navy in this decisive battle. "If this strategic goal cannot be achieved, this war will continue to be a stalemate. The Yuan Fang family has a great cause and is strong. Of course, they are not afraid of a protracted war, but Jiangdong cannot afford to delay it. Lu Su could understand Zhou Yu's intentions, so he had nothing to say and could only stand aside and watch the battle. Ling Qi shook his head, and Zhou Yu's generals conveyed the message in the blink of an eye. Seeing this, Huang Gai, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly led more than 10,000 troops, beat the drums and entered the battle group in one fell swoop. A few miles away, Yuan Fang looked indifferent, enjoying the melee ahead with ease. "Your Majesty, the enemy warships have entered the battle again." Fa Zheng pointed forward and reminded. Zhou Yu was indeed arrogant and committed nearly half of his fleet after just a few moments of fighting. The corner of Yuan Fang's mouth slanted upward, and a hint of sneer flashed across his face. Seeing that Zhou Yu had put down the second chess piece, Yuan Fang sneered and said: "Zhou Yu has lost a piece, we can't just sit back and watch. Send the order and order Xu Sheng's army to also attack." Xu Sheng on the fighting ship soon saw Yuan Fang's message attack order??The frown could not help but deepen even further. The 10,000-strong naval force led by Lu Meng was equipped with a lot of fighting ships. However, the navy he led had very few fighting ships and could only rely on stern and rushing ships. Xu Shengshi was not sure how much help such a fleet would have in changing the situation of the battle, even if it was put into battle. What¡¯s more, if the two armies engage in battle and the battle goes unfavorably, it will be extremely difficult to retreat. Xu Sheng knew that if he failed to win today's battle, his life would be at stake here. Although he was wary, Xu Sheng did not hesitate. He immediately drew his sword and shouted: "The whole army attacks and fights to the death for Da Qi¡ª¡ª" The flags were waved and the solemn drums soared into the sky. Xu Sheng led Hundreds of warships, mainly for stern attack, let go of their speed and roared towards the battle group. The two armies each deployed their entire forces, and the 40,000-strong naval force formed a fierce melee on the wide river. If the previous battle between Lu Meng and Ling Tong was still a draw, then in the current battle between the two front armies, the Qi army soon began to be at a disadvantage. The number of enemy battleships was twice that of Qi's army, not to mention the larger ships. Moreover, the enemy's soldiers' water combat effectiveness made it difficult for Qi's army to force themselves. Under various circumstances, Qi's army could not resist. It's weird to be at a disadvantage. "Your Majesty, our army may not be able to withstand it." Fazheng reminded loudly and anxiously.
