Chapter 1338: Preemptive Strike!
"Zhou Yu, this guy, the opening dish is really a fire attack ......" Guo Jia, who was dressed in green clothes, looked at the countless fires that suddenly ignited on the opposite warship, and there was no fluctuation in a pair of peculiar eyes, still like a country, gentle but dangerous, and even a little lazy: "General Gan, do you have a way to deal with it?" ”
When Gan Ning heard this, he smiled slightly, waved his hand, and waved the flag behind him. Many soldiers removed the dense felt cloth on the battlefield at the same time, and in an instant, a series of catapults were exposed on the deck, the slender pole arms of the trebuchets were quietly pressed on the deck, and stones of different sizes were quietly placed in the throwing baskets tied to the cables, Gan Ning had witnessed the power of these behemoths with his own eyes, and the cries of falling rocks that pierced the air and the sawdust that smashed through the deck of the warship seemed to have flashed in Gan Ning's eyes.
"It's a pity, if it weren't for the decisive battle on the river, Zhou Maitian's newly invented water drawing dragon car could be used to test it here." Guo Jia couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that Gan Ning's response was really hard. But at the same time, he also knew that this was a water war, and there must be fire oil in the fire-stirring things on the Jiangdong side, and the water-drawing dragon cart invented by Zhou Maitian could still be used in land warfare to prepare for arson and burn the camp. And on the river......
"Don't sigh, before sending troops, I already knew that the two armies would inevitably do this." Gan Ning was still smiling, like a colorful tiger flickering when it pounced on its prey, indescribably dangerous and unpredictable: "The military advisor is a strategist who is strategic, these tactics, let me wait for the old man to deal with it with blood and bravery!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, Gan Ning suddenly heard a guard behind him shouting: "Dudu, it's not good, the south wind is blowing!" ”
"Lord, the south wind is blowing!!" This shout sounded on the Jiangdong Sun Ce warship at the same time, but compared to the anger and fear on the Ganning warship, these shouts were more obviously joyful and excited!
"Great! God really helps me Jiangdong tonight! Sun Ce was overjoyed, and then looked at the approaching Ma family warship, and his eyes lit up with a raging ambition: get closer, get closer, as long as the range of the big crossbow is reached, as long as this round of rockets can make contributions, then Jiangdong Sun Jian's long-cherished wish to annex Jingzhou can be achieved tonight!
However, before the flame in Sun Ce's eyes was fully ignited, a strange wind sound came from overhead, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked up at the same time and saw a strange scene: three or four huge stones of different shapes flew through the air, drawing several dangerous and graceful arcs, and smashed towards a warship next to them. The two of them involuntarily shrank their necks, and the archers on the warship subconsciously wanted to dodge, but they were not as lucky as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, those huge stones smashed on their bodies very accurately, and under the powerful impact, they directly smashed their bodies into a puddle of mud, and their muscles and bones were broken.
Fortunately, they may not have died a painful death. And the real pain was the three archers who were smashed by the boulder, some of their legs were directly smashed by the boulder, and some of their bodies were crushed in the sawdust of the deck, and the blood gushed wildly to bring the vitality of their bodies, and the powerful pain made him worse than dead; There was an even more pitiful one, he was crushed by the boulder, but the rocket in his hand pierced and ignited his abdominal cavity, and a foul smell of choking smoke instantly permeated the air, and the deathly howls of these wounded archers almost burst the ears of the terrified archers next to them......
"Damn!" Sun Ce slammed his fist on the side of the ship, and he already understood Gan Ning's intentions: the trebuchet may not be very powerful against the warship, but the whistling boulder that came preemptively could bring indescribable fear to the Jiangdong naval army. Once the morale falls, no matter how God helps, this battle is doomed to failure!
"Why did you fight for more than a month before, and I didn't see Gan Ning so tricky?!" Sun Ce was furious, and in the face of Gan Ning's psychological tactics, he was really helpless.
"This law was certainly created by Ma Chao, and it is more likely that Ma Chao just came up with it in the past few days......" Zhou Yu sighed, he understood that Gan Ning was a brave and resourceful person, while Guo Jia was a wise and strategic strategist, and it was unlikely that either of them would think of a combination of trebuchets and warships. Only Ma Chao, who thinks like a whimsical one, can be so ingenious.
And when the two of them wanted to say more, the Ma family's warship on the opposite side was once again powerful. This time it seems that it is not just a test throw, but a ferocious blow like a storm! The boulders in the sky flew up in an instant, as if the sky was furious, and the meteor shower fell. Countless boulders roared and smashed on the mast, deck, and side of the Jiangdong naval warships, and under the continuous loud noises, many Jiangdong warships were smashed through the bottom of the ship, and the still warm river water suddenly bubbled in. There were also many soldiers of the warship who fled in a panic, accidentally overturned the oil in the oil tank of the warship, and were ignited by rockets, and the whole warship immediately burst into flames......
The morale of the Jiangdong naval army was suddenly hit hard, many people were running, and every naval army was stunned by this sudden attack, and was also frightened by the power of the boulder. Seeing this, Zhou Yu immediately shouted: "Bo Fu, advance quickly!" ”
A hint of determination flashed in Sun Ce's eyes, and he said loudly: "Lu Meng." ”
At this moment, Lu Meng, who was just a captain of the guard, hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Here." ”
"Order Zhou Tai to attack, attack the catapult fleet in front of the Ma family's formation, and clear the way for the next fire attack!"
"Yes."
Lu Meng suddenly agreed, although he still didn't understand the text, but he had already heard the meaning of Sun Ce's order: Zhou Tai's attack was true, but it was impossible to sweep away the Ma family's catapult fleet, and Sun Ce was breaking his wrist in a strong man. He wants to use Zhou Tai's bravery and no regrets to tell all the Jiangdong Army that in this battle, there is no advance or retreat!
Lu Meng turned around and waved his arm fiercely at the messenger on the finch room, and the herald who was climbing high on the finch room quickly raised a red pennant and waved it vigorously twice to the left. The sound of trumpets and war drums rushed into the sky, and a naval fleet composed of four or five hundred ships and fighting ships separated from the Jiangdong main formation and slowly pressed towards the Ganning naval army.
The ship is already lightweight, and with the help of sails, it can fly as fast as a fly. On the first fighting ship, Zhou Tai stood proudly with a machete in his hand.
Behind Zhou Tai, fifty Jiangdong Army soldiers held flying hook slings and steel knives on their backs, like fifty water ghosts guarding the deck gloomily, and their eyes were full of cold murderous intent. However, the Ma family warship seemed to have sensed the intentions of the Jiangdong Naval Army, and a stone throwing was smashed towards Zhou Tai's fighting ship!
It's a pity that the target of the fighting ship is small after all, Zhou Tai only felt a sharp sound suddenly sounded in his ears, and a column of water had risen from the river around him, and the water column rose several feet high before it burst into droplets, turning into water droplets in the sky, and Zhou Tai and the Jiangdong soldiers on the fighting ship were drenched into soup.
Looking back, Zhou Tai saw Gan Ning's arrogance laughing on the boat. At this moment, Zhou Tai was completely overwhelmed by a strong sense of humiliation, wiped his face indiscriminately, and shouted, "Give Lao Tzu a hard stroke, rush over for me!" ”
With the help of the strong south wind and the newly installed pig iron ship, Zhou Tai's warships met the dense bows and arrows on the Ma family's warship, and slammed into the Ma family's building ships one by one. Many of the Jiangdong sailors on the ships were shot into hedgehogs by sharp arrows, but at the last moment of death, they would always use their last strength to ignite the oilcloth soaked in fire oil on the ship!
Under the strong south wind, the tongues of fire on the ships licked the Majialou ship frantically, and the Majialou sailors who lived above the building ship never imagined that the disaster would come from the bottom, and they could no longer aim at the Jiangdong warship that was still rushing towards them without fear of death. The ships that were burning with flames seemed to be like the anger of the Jiangdong disciples who had just died, immortal and immortal!
"Hurry up and get out of the battleship!" Gan Ning finally showed his anxiety at this time, and roared loudly: "Stop those daring ships for me, and don't let them get close to the building boats again!" ”
"Hahaha......"
Zhou Tai and the sailors behind him burst into laughter at this time, but their laughter was full of ruthlessness and poignancy!
It was also at this time when the war was unclear that the two armies gradually followed each other. With tears in his eyes, Sun Cehu looked at the ships of the suicidal impact, and roared: "The time has come, you can't let the sons and daughters in front die in vain, give me rockets!" ”
