Lin Shihong led his army to Xuancheng Prefecture. After resting for half a day in Xuancheng Prefecture, they split into two armies to attack Health.
Whoosh.
In the healthy water area, the river surface was relatively calm.
Occasionally, one or two seagulls would chirp and fly into the distance after drawing a beautiful arc in the sky.
The quiet river surface combined with the gloomy sky gave off an inexplicable pressure.
Hou Junji led the 20,000-strong Jiangdong Navy and waited for Lin Shihong's army to arrive.
His breathing was heavy, and the Jiangdong Navy looked solemn.
The haze in the sky was like a huge rock pressing down on everyone's hearts, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Ever since Hou Junji had followed Cao Yun, he had never felt such pressure.
In this battle, no matter what mistakes he made here or what mistakes he made in the direction of health.
It would cause the Jiangdong Army to be in a dilemma.
This battle was closely related to the future of the Jiangdong Army, so everyone was nervous.
Even the veterans of the Jiangdong Army felt their hands sweating nervously.
Whoosh.
The waves on the river surface suddenly started to roll.
"He's here."
Hou Junji's eyes turned sharp as he saw a massive navy appear in front of him.
The flag of the navy fluttered in the wind, and the black warships seemed to overlap with the dark clouds in the sky.
This navy was the elite navy that Lin Shihong had meticulously built. At this moment, they were finally opposing the Jiangdong Navy.
"Drop anchor!"
The Yuzhang Navy shouted and the warship threw out a heavy anchor, forcing the ship to stop.
The two armies confronted each other, and the Jiangdong Navy's flag was raised high.
Hou Junji took a few deep breaths and walked up to the deck.
The warships in front were lined up with red dragon-patterned war drums, and Hou Junji was gently beating them with his drumstick.
Thump.
A muffled sound spread across the river surface, breaking the silence before the battle.
Dong dong dong.
On the second beat, the rhythm of the drum began to accelerate. Every beat of the drum seemed to be beating on everyone's hearts.
The Jiangdong Army's breathing began to quicken, and their eyes became sharp.
Dong dong dong.
The drums began to beat rhythmically, and the morale of the Jiangdong Navy rose.
At the place where the two armies confronted each other, the surface of the river began to become restless, and waves of ripples appeared.
"Attack!"
Hou Junji shouted, sweat pouring down his face. The drums began to beat like thunder.
The Jiangdong Navy pulled out their formation, and their warships lined up in a long line.
The hull of the ship made a heavy sound as the ballista was already extended from the muzzle.
Boom! Boom!
The heavy sound of the heavy crossbow firing raised a cloud of mist.
The sound shook the ship, and countless heavy crossbows shot into the sky, heading straight for the Yuzhang Navy.
The water battle had already begun. The Yuzhang Navy also beat their drums to boost their morale.
When the Jiangdong Navy formed a long line, they also did not want to be outdone.
The Yuzhang Navy was planning to fight the Jiangdong Navy head-on.
Rumble!
The heavy crossbows fired, and the hull shook. Smoke even spread out. The warships of the Yuzhang Navy also launched an attack.
Both sides were shooting from the front. Apart from comparing the accuracy of the shots, it also tested the sturdiness of the warships.
Needless to say, the Jiangdong Navy was the number one navy in the world.
The warship was advanced and had many muzzles. Its sturdy hull was even wrapped in iron leaves.
Heavy crossbows were extremely powerful, and their accuracy was terrifying.
On the other hand, although the Yuzhang Navy was carefully nurtured by Lin Shihong, they could at most be considered a regular navy, not much different from a navy following the army.
There was a difference in equipment between the two armies. The ships of the Yuzhang Navy were not sturdy and small, so their numbers could not be compared to the Jiangdong Navy.
How could they compete with the Jiangdong Navy when they were at a disadvantage in all aspects?
Boom!
The sharp tips of the heavy crossbows flashed with a cold light as they smashed heavily onto the warships of the Yuzhang Navy.
The exquisite strike hit the weak point of the warship directly. A huge pit was formed on the surface of the ship, and a steady stream of river water poured in from the huge hole.
"The ship sank!"
The Yuzhang Navy shouted, and the soldiers on the deck jumped into the river.
The Jiangdong Navy was also attacked, but with their sturdy hulls, none of their warships were sunk. Only their hulls were damaged.
The two sides clashed for a while, and the warships of the Yuzhang Navy were sunk one after another.
At this time, some ships of the Jiangdong Navy were also sunk.
Whoosh.
Hou Junji, who was pounding his war drums on the deck, suddenly felt a gust of wind.
The dark clouds in the sky became denser. This was a sign that a heavy rain was coming.
In the strong wind, the warships of Yuzhang kept retreating. If it wasn't for the anchor holding them in place, they would have been swaying. After all, they were facing the wind.
"Raise the sails!"
Hou Junji bellowed. He planned to use the wind to attack, using it to rapidly approach the navy and launch a devastating melee attack!
Shua Shua.
As soon as the order was given, the sails of the warships were raised.
Under the strong wind, the Jiangdong Navy at the forefront broke through the ice and moved forward at an extremely fast speed.
At this moment, the Yuzhang Navy wanted to retreat, but it would take a certain amount of time to retrieve the anchor.
How could they be faster than the Jiangdong Navy?
The enemy's war drums sounded in unison, as if thunder was exploding in their ears. This indicated that the enemy was getting closer and closer to them.
The Jiangdong Navy's dragon formation changed. They surrounded the Yuzhang Navy and finally stretched out wooden planks to build on the enemy's deck.
Clang!
The warships approached the enemy and set up long ladders. The Jiangdong Navy pulled out their swords from their waists or raised their spears.
They charged at the Yuzhang Navy. Everyone's eyes were bloodshot, as if they wanted to devour the enemy.
Hualala.
The rain poured down. The Jiangdong Navy fought their way up to the enemy's deck.
"Take as many as the Yuzhang Navy sends. Today, not a single one of your warships can leave!”
Hou Junji shouted.
He took the lead and rushed to the front. He raised his knife and cut off the head. Blood splattered and mixed with the rain.
In less than a moment, the river surface was already red. It was the blood of the Yuzhang Navy.
Hou Junji's aura caused the soldiers to charge even more ferociously, their crimson armor transforming into a ferocious beast.
It was as if it wanted to devour all the warships of the Yuzhang Navy.
The thick smell of blood stimulated everyone's nerves.
The surface of the river was either filled with corpses, broken limbs, or broken wooden planks.
In close combat, the Yuzhang Navy was no match for the Jiangdong Navy. Their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at the Jiangdong Navy that was like a ferocious beast.
The fate that awaited them was the arrival of death. No one could change this.
When everything was calm, the killing had already come to an end.
When the blazing sun poked its head out of the dark clouds, the countless corpses and blood floating on the river surface appeared so shocking.
The water battle this time was also announced to be over.
