Chapter 313: Fighting, Jiangdong Fires!
"What's the situation!"
Sun Quan's soldiers couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and then they saw several black dots appear in the sky.
Soon, these black dots turned into iron balls!
"It's artillery!"
Huang Gai's eyes widened in horror, and then he shouted at his soldiers: "Now disperse, disperse!" ”
In fact, Sun Quan had been prepared before, and the arrangement of the warships this time had always been very scattered.
Now Huang Gai roared again, and suddenly the ships changed their original direction and suddenly dispersed.
This decision is indeed very correct, and it is very beneficial to Sun Quan's side.
After all, even if Cao Shuo is present in this era, the accuracy of artillery is still very poor.
Now it is on an extremely uneven river, and it takes a certain amount of luck to hit a boat accurately.
Most of the iron balls shot just now also fell on the surface of the river, splashing huge columns of water one after another.
The torrent slapped on Sun Quan's soldiers' faces, and the cold river water made them faint a little, but their minds were even clearer.
The long sword in his hand also made them grip tighter and tighter.
One by one, they were crawling on either side of the boat, ready to open fire again during the hand-to-hand handover.
But there were still some small boats, which were concentrated by Cao Shuo's artillery.
Naturally, the scene was very tragic.
The boat was smashed in two, and some unfortunate soldiers were hit by artillery and smashed into a ball of meat sauce.
This scene was very shocking, but they still tried their best to contain the fear in their hearts, and continued to drive slowly towards Cao Shuo's side.
Cannonballs were still flying in the sky, and even with a very low hit rate, Sun Quan was still sinking many ships here.
But there are still a few small boats, which are approaching Cao Shuo at this time.
"Now prepare for battle!"
At this time, the distance between Cao Cao and Sun Quan was close enough, and the generals who led the troops to fight also let out a roar.
In this case, the bow and arrow are the most powerful weapons, and Sun Quan is also equipped with a Zhuge crossbow.
"Whoosh!"
After a round of archery, the sky on the river seemed to be raining lightly, and the river was full of arrows falling into the water.
But at this time, although the distance between the two sides was very close, Cao Shuo's side took advantage of the superiority, and soon, there were many casualties on Sun Quan's side.
"Keep approaching, nearby soldiers raise their shields!"
Huang Gai roared and ordered a small boat to move towards Cao Shuo.
Cao Jun's side wanted to use the size of the warship to directly overwhelm the small boat on Sun Quan's side.
But Sun Quan's boating skills were very superb, and many attacks were dodged by them.
Only two or three small boats were unfortunately hit by Cao Jun's side, and the ships were immediately shattered, and most of the soldiers took the opportunity to jump into the water and escape.
"Now follow me and rush behind them!"
Huang Gai also arrived at the frontal battlefield at this time, and rushed towards Cao Shuo's warship with a shout.
At this time, Huang Gai stood on the bow of a warship, holding a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right, raising his arms and shouting at the soldiers.
Even if the battlefield is chaotic now, Huang Gai's voice is still very clear, and the morale of the Jiangdong army has reached the highest point at this time.
"Can't we fire now?"
Cao Shuo's ship has also undergone a little change here.
Now seeing that Huang Gai's fleet was about to be copied to the rear, a Flying Tiger general said to Cao Shuo with an anxious face.
"Don't rush just yet!"
Cao Shuo smiled slightly, shook his head and said:
"It's still a little too far away, and if the shells are empty, it will be troublesome, so we just have to wait quietly for them to come over, and then solve the problem directly with one shell!"
On the side of the Jiangdong Army, Huang Gai rushed to the front and rushed towards Cao Shuo in the lead.
Under his leadership, although many Jiangdong soldiers died, they were still all paddling indomitable.
"Rush, rush, hit them!"
At this time, Huang Gai's warship was about to reach the near point, and he immediately turned back to his soldiers and shouted:
"Let's rush to their big ship together and kill them!"
"Yes!"
The Jiangdong soldiers are now completely infected by Huang Gai's arrogance and bravery, and at this time, their eyes are red, and they look like they are fighting with Cao Jun to the end.
On the battlefield where the panic and shells were flying at this time, all the soldiers had only the battle left in their minds, and there was no other thought.
"Boom!"
However, at that moment, they suddenly heard a muffled noise in front of them, and then saw a cannonball flying towards the ship.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the soldiers felt like their bodies had lost their center of gravity.
At this time, Huang Gai's ship was hit by a cannonball, and a solid iron ball smashed directly in front of Huang Gai's warship, smashing a huge hole in the cabin.
In the next second, the surging river rushed into the boat, accompanied by the sound of wood breaking.
There was also a violent impact from the ship, and Huang Gai held on to the edge of the ship so that it was not shaken.
At this time, Huang Gai's warship was already sinking down at a speed visible to the naked eye, but now they had also reached the close point of Cao's warship!
"Now, kill me!"
Huang Gai roared angrily, and with the help of the hook lock, he climbed directly onto Cao Cao's warship.
"Yes!"
The Jiangdong soldiers behind him also followed quickly, waving the long sword in their hands, and in a blink of an eye, two Cao soldiers fell to the ground.
Cao Jun's side also reacted quickly, picking up several hooks and locks for boarding.
But Huang Gai's side was really well prepared, and at this time, the Jiangdong Army also burst out with the last fighting spirit, buying time for the crew behind him to get on the ship.
"Kill, hack them!"
Cao Jun's side, hasn't he been waiting for this moment?
Although they had been standing on the boat all the time, they had fainted a little despite taking seasickness medicine.
But now that the enemies are in front of you, it's time to fight!
They can't care so much, they just pull out their knives and rush over.
Poof, whoosh, whoosh...
The sword plunged into the person's body, making a special sound, and at the same time, blood suddenly spilled all over the warship.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen soldiers could have fallen.
In addition, now many of Sun Quan's boats have also arrived at Cao Jun and used the same method to get on board.
After all, the Jiangdong Army has been training for a long time here, and the sailing skills are also very superb, and many small boats can use their dexterous hulls to skillfully avoid Cao Shuo's many attacks.
The fierce fighting and roaring of the two sides at this time gradually overshadowed the cold and angry wind on the river.
This battle, the Jiangdong Army's side can only be described as tragic.
