Chapter 190: I'm the strongest on the water
A quarter of an hour later, the two fleets came into range of each other's arrows. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the formation of the Lu army, on the huge fighting ship, Cao Xing raised his head and looked down at the small number of Tao troops and the small fleet of warships, and there was disdain in his eyebrows.
"Gao Shun, didn't you tell Wen Hou that I am not good at water warfare, today, I will prove it to you, you Cao Xuan is not only extraordinary in archery, I am also a genius who is proficient in water warfare!"
Cao Xing's eyes burned with the flames of fame, raised his hand and pointed, and shouted: "Beat the drums, wave the flag, the whole army presses up, and knocks over the enemy ship!" ”
The flag-bearer on the mast quickly waved the signal flag, the rumbling war drums rose to the sky, and the order was passed down, and more than 1,000 crossbowmen on the fighting ships immediately launched an overwhelming arrow attack on the Tao army's warship.
Arrows rained down.
By virtue of the condescension and numerical superiority, after a round of arrow attacks, the Tao army was immediately suppressed, and the sailors tried their best to shrink into the ship, not daring to take the lead.
As soon as Fang clashed, Xu Sheng fell into an unfavorable situation.
"Husband, our army's warships are still smaller than the enemy, and Xu Sheng is so pressed that he can't raise his head." Mulan looked at the potter with a worried expression.
The potter was not worried, but smiled: "The water battle is not as good as the land battle, Cao Xing's guy is too arrogant, I expect Xu Sheng is just testing his hypocrisy." ”
Although the potter was confident, Mulan was unabated and continued to look at the water uneasily.
On the Huaishui, Cao Xuan completely had the upper hand, despised Tao Jun even more, urging his warship to go straight downstream, and his bow and crossbow arrows shot wildly like a bee.
Xu Sheng stood at the bow of the ship, his head drenched in heavy rain, and waved the war knife in his hand to block the incoming arrows.
His self-confidence, his fearlessness, stabilized the Tao army soldiers and made them grit their teeth to support.
In the blink of an eye, the two armies approached 100 paces.
In Xu Sheng's eyes, a sneer suddenly flashed, and he raised his knife and shouted: "Commando, rush up for me!" ”
When the order was laid, dozens of stern ships in the rear suddenly accelerated forward, like barracudas, rushing towards the approaching enemy ships.
He was to entangle the big ship with a small boat, and make his soldiers burst onto the enemy ship and engage them in close quarters.
Seeing this, Cao Xing's face suddenly changed, obviously he didn't expect this Xu Sheng to be so fierce that he would come to this trick.
Cao Xing hurriedly shouted: "Crossbowman, give me a fierce shot at the approaching enemy ship, and Hugh will make them approach the big ship." ”
When the order was passed, thousands of Lu Jun crossbowmen immediately adjusted their direction, and sharp arrows fell from the sky, like a net from heaven and earth, and bombarded towards the assault fleet sent by Xu Sheng.
Cao Xing confidently thought that with the advantage of his strong bow and crossbow, he could shoot those enemies who did not hesitate to die, but soon, he found out that he was wrong.
Although the arrow net is dense, it can't stop the momentum of Tao Jun's boat.
"Cao Xing, don't underestimate my boat......" The corners of Xu Sheng's mouth raised a touch of pride.
Lu Jun didn't know, and even the potters didn't know, that although his small boats looked small, they were extremely strong, covered with thick sheepskin, and even his own divine arm bow might not be able to shoot through, let alone the enemy's bow and crossbow.
This commando team with extremely strong protection and extremely fast speed was modified by Xu Sheng in order to defeat the strong with the weak and kill the enemy by surprise.
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 rushing ships, like huge swordfish, rushed forward in the dense rain of arrows, and penetrated into the Huainan naval warship array like the wind.
Xu Sheng personally commanded one of them, spared the other warships, and headed straight for the enemy's flagship.
Fifty steps......
Thirty steps......
Twenty Steps......
Rumble!
With a thud of broken wood, the warboard equipped with ramming horns rushed to the front and slammed into the side of the enemy's flagship, and the entire fighting ship shook violently, and the soldiers on the ship shook one after another, and several people fell into the water.
Just when the enemy on the ship fell into a short panic, Xu Sheng raised half of his bare arms, shouted, and jumped onto the enemy ship with a war knife, and the war knife in his hand danced wildly like the wind, slashing at the panicked enemy pawn.
Behind him, the assault soldiers who rushed on the ship all abandoned their oars and changed their knives, and followed Xu Sheng to kill the enemy ship.
At the same time, the entire assault team wedged into the enemy formation, like a sharp blade, easily tearing a hole, and then passing by the situation, and in a blink of an eye, the Huainan Navy was divided into two parts.
The formation of the enemy's fleet was broken, and more than 70 large and small ships behind quickly moved forward, moving forward against the enemy's arrow rain, and the crossbowmen fought back vigorously to suppress the fire on the enemy ships and cover the assault ships to attack.
At the side, the soldiers of the Tao Army who watched the battle were already thunderous with joy at this moment.
Fan Xu exclaimed in surprise: "I really didn't expect it, this pirate has mediocre force, but the water battle is so strong, it's too surprising." ”
The potter was also relieved, and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate Xu Wenxiang, he is not your opponent in land warfare, and you are not his opponent in water warfare." ”
In the water village, the rumbling drums rose to the sky, and the cheering and shouting soared into the sky.
Xu Sheng was mighty, swept wildly with his sword, and frantically harvested the heads of the enemy.
Blood splashed, blood and rain fell all over the body, Xu Sheng in the bloody wind and rain, like an invincible general, no one could stop him.
Cao Xing, who was located on the upper deck, was pale at this time, and he was so frightened that he was in chaos.
He thought that the water battle was just by virtue of a large number of people, a strong and tall ship, and just pressed all the way, but he didn't expect that there was Xu Sheng's move, which easily disintegrated his formation with less to win more.
Cao Xuan was even more horrified to find that a sword-wielding Tao army general, after boarding the warship, actually killed all the way from the lower deck to the upper deck, and killed him directly.
"Kill the dog thief!" Cao screamed in a trembling voice.
The pro-soldiers on the deck pounced on Xu Sheng like crazy, but they were like ants and were all destroyed by Xu Sheng.
Cao Xing bent his bow and set up arrows, wanting to shoot Xu Sheng with archery skills, but at this time, the boat was windy and wavering, and he couldn't even stand, let alone shoot arrows.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Sheng had already killed Cao Xing.
He was holding a blood-dripping war knife, panting heavily, withstanding the heavy rain, carrying the bloody killing machine, and striding towards Cao Xing.
"Nameless rat, Lao Tzu wants your life!" Cao Xing had no way to retreat, plucked up his courage, roared, and raised his knife to kill Xu Sheng.
"On the river, you are also worthy of fighting with me......"
The corners of Xu Sheng's mouth raised a proud sneer, and the tower-like figure suddenly moved like a shadow, like blood-colored lightning crashing from Cao Xing.
At this time, a wind and waves came, and the battleship shook violently, and Cao Xing's feet were unstable, and he immediately lost his square inch, and his body tilted to the side.
Xu Sheng has been accustomed to the wind and waves for a long time, although the boat is shaking violently, he is like walking on the ground, and his body has not wavered in the slightest.
In an instant, a stumbling figure and a figure as steady as an iron tower passed by.
There was a scream, and a splash of blood flattered.
Cao Xing's left arm, at the moment of the fight, was cut off by Xu Sheng.
The frightened Cao Xing howled, fell to the ground, and fell to the ground with his hand covering his broken arm.
With Xu Sheng's force value, he was equivalent to Cao Xing, but he was born as a pirate, and he walked on the ground in the wind and waves, which boosted his force, and he was on the ship at the moment, even if he was a top powerhouse like Yingbu, he might not be his opponent, let alone Cao Xing.
Remembering that the pottery merchant had given an order, and the merit of capturing the enemy general alive was twice as much as the killing, Xu Sheng disdained to kill Cao Xing again, and killed the mast of the ship in a few steps, and the war knife slashed out towards the rope of the flag.
With a loud bang, the battle flag of the word "Cao" was cut down and fell into the wind.
Folding the flag down means that the flagship is lost, and the rest of the Huainan Navy ships see the loss of the flagship, and the military heart collapses instantly.
Without the command of the flagship, the morale of the army collapsed, and the ships collapsed, only to flee in all directions, where to dare to fight again.
Xu Sheng captured the enemy ship, raised his own banner of "Xu", urged his own navy, and pursued the defeated enemy ship relentlessly.
The Huainan Navy of more than 3,000 people had previously occupied the advantages of the upper reaches and was so fast going down the river, but at this time they were defeated, but the advantages of the upstream were in his fatal weakness.
When it was too late to turn around, more than 200 warships were quickly chased and killed by the Tao army and destroyed one by one.
An hour-long water battle finally ended, 3,000 Huainan sailors were killed and their bodies floated on the river, the river of blood was like a note, nearly 1,000 people surrendered, and nearly 2,000 people were killed and wounded.
Of the two hundred warships, all but half were destroyed, and the rest fell into the hands of the Tao army.
The victorious Xu Sheng did not take advantage of the victory to kill the enemy's water camp, where Lu Bu's infantry was still garrisoned, and with his little water army, he was not able to kill ashore.
That's enough, though.
Lu Bu's water army has been completely destroyed, and it has lost the right to control the water of the Huai River, which will not pose a threat to the grain route of the pottery merchants.
"Tick...... The system scans, and the host wins the Huai River water battle, gaining a charm value of 2, and the host's existing charm value is 65. ”
The prompt sound of the system elf sounded in his mind, and the potter was overjoyed and went to the trestle to greet Xu Sheng in person.
On the water's edge, thousands of soldiers have gathered at the water's edge to greet the return of their naval comrades with cheers.
One by one, the battleships docked, and Xu Sheng jumped off the battleship first, and threw Cao Xing, who was captured alive, off the boat.
"Taozhou Mu spares his life, Cao Xing is willing to submit to Taozhou Mu, please Taozhou Mu Kai Grace." Cao Xing, who had a broken arm, rolled to the ground and begged for mercy in front of the potter.
This Cao Xing also has a bit of archery, if the arm is not broken, there is still a bit of use, and now he has become a wasted person, and he is so greedy for life and afraid of death, which can only cause the disgust of the potter.
"Pull this cowardly waster down for me, and I'll dispose of him when it's over."
The potter waved his hand and drank coldly, Cao Xing's current usefulness can only be used as an "ATM" for the potter to search for brutal points.
"Sheng Xing did not disgrace his life, annihilated the enemy's naval division for the lord, and came to revenge on the lord." In the midst of joy, the blood-stained Xu Sheng smiled and bowed his hand to the potter.
The potter laughed, patted Xu Sheng on the shoulder and said: "Wen Xiang, you fought this battle beautifully, if I win Huainan, you will be the first merit, let's go, let's drink." ”
The potter put his arm around Xu Sheng's neck, laughed and went to the camp.
The Tao army camp was so thunderous, but in the Lu army water camp upstream, it was as silent as death.
One by one, the soldiers of Lu were dumbfounded, their expressions were stunned, and they were still immersed in the horror of the annihilation of their own army, unable to extricate themselves.
Lu Bu on the Red Rabbit horse, his face was blue and gloomy, and his eagle eyes flashed with disbelief.
"Three thousand sailors, just like this, were wiped out by the pottery thieves? How can this be......"
