Chapter 259: Hanshui Bloody Battle!

Whoa~~

The sound of water sounded, Su Zhe felt a chill on his face, and looked up, a winter rain had arrived.

"You can't use weather satellites for a month, and you can't even predict this winter rain...... " Su Zhe muttered with emotion.

The rain turned from slow to rapid, and in an instant it was pouring down, wetting his cloak.

Seeing this, Xu Huang beside him was busy asking someone to bring the coat and wanted to put it on for Su Zhe.

Su Zhe pushed it away.

Xu Huang was stunned and persuaded: "Lord, the winter rain is very cold, don't hurt your body if you drench it like this." ”

"The soldiers of the navy have to fight in the rain, and they are not afraid of the cold, how can I, the lord, be afraid."

Su Zhe flicked his hand and said resolutely: "I can't fight side by side with the soldiers, it's okay to be in this rain with them." ”

Xu Huang's expression changed, and he couldn't help but be moved.

The generals on the left and right, and the tens of thousands of soldiers who watched the battle, originally planned to wear the robes, but under the inspiration of Su Zhe, they all threw away the coats and got drenched in the rain with the sailors on the river.

On the Han River, the rain wet the banner with the word "Gan", and Gan Ning and his 10,000 soldiers were all soaked.

Looking from afar, the Jiangxia Navy was already approaching, and the huge group of fighting ships was daunting.

Among the naval warships, the building ship is the largest type of ship, followed by the fighting ship.

Only because the cost of the building ship is extremely high, and the requirements for the construction process are extremely high, so it is difficult to manufacture on a large scale.

The reason for this is nothing more than that during the water war, the two armies rarely have hand-to-hand combat, most of them are based on bows and crossbows that can shoot at each other with long-range weapons, and the fighting ships are tall, equivalent to a small moving castle, and there is a condescending excellent shot at the ship, not to mention the small boat that walks the boat.

The number of fighting ships of Huang Zu's Jiangxia Navy is fully twice that of the Ganning Navy Army, and there is also an advantage of nearly seven or eight thousand in numbers.

The strength and weakness are clear, but Gan Ning is cold and resolute, and the exposed eagle eyes do not see a trace of jealousy, only endless self-confidence.

Facing the head-on, Jiangxia Sailors.

On the only giant ship, Huang Zu's sword stood on the fifth deck, proudly looking at the oncoming Soviet navy who looked half a head shorter, with disdain on his face.

In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the tragic situation of his son's head being separated, and the revenge and anger accumulated in his heart were burning again.

"Su Zhe, today I will destroy your water army first, and he will take your dog's head again in the future!"

Huang Zu secretly gritted his teeth, drew his sword, and said proudly: "Most of the enemy troops are small boats, like ants, and the whole army will press up and level the enemy army!" ”

Woo woo ~ ~

The horn of the attack sounded, and the slaughter was like a man.

The Jiangxia army opened the way with large fighting ships and approached the Soviet army with a overwhelming momentum, and thousands of crossbowmen, taking advantage of the condescending momentum of the fighting ships, rushed to the Soviet army to release arrows first.

Arrows were like flying locusts, rising up in the sky like a huge net, pressing down on the Soviet army.

"Raise your shield, dodge arrows!" Gan Ning, who was on the flagship, shouted loudly.

The soldiers on the left and right immediately raised the big shield and formed a shield wall, blocking Gan Ning.

At the same time, the officers and men of each ship raised their shields or shrank behind the battlements to avoid the enemy's arrows.

In the blink of an eye, the rain of arrows came, overwhelming and endless, relying on the numerical superiority, the Soviet army could not be suppressed, and the crossbowmen did not even have a chance to raise their heads and release arrows.

As soon as the first day of the battle, the Soviet army fell into passivity.

On the shore, the infantry of the Soviet army watching the battle became anxious when they saw the brothers of the navy falling into passivity.

Hu Che'er shouted: "Lord, it seems that the Jinfan thief can't do it, he can't raise his head because of the pressure of the old thief Huang Zu, but I'm afraid that he will be defeated." ”

Su Zhe smiled, looked at Xu Huang, and asked, "Gongming, what do you think?" ”

Xu Huang pondered for a moment, and arched his hand: "Back to the lord, although the last general is not familiar with water warfare, but I guess that the principles of foot warfare and water warfare are the same. ”

"What is deliberately showing weakness, messy, I don't understand." Hu Che'er touched his head and muttered.

"It's worthy of Gongming, Che'er, you have to ask Gongming for more advice in the future." Su Zhe's words should be a tacit acquiescence to Xu Huang's speculation.

Above the Han River, the battle continues.

Huang Zu has the upper hand on the surface, and he doesn't take Gan Ning in his eyes at all, in his opinion, he has the advantage of fighting ships, and in the face of absolute strength, Gan Ning is definitely not an opponent.

What he has to do now is to drive the fleet to press on and crush the Soviet fleet in one fell swoop.

Under Huang Zu's order, the Jiangxia fleet was high-spirited and pressed on it in a big way.

On the flagship of the Soviet fleet, Gan Ning stood proudly, quietly observing the changes in the enemy position through the gap in the shield wall.

In the blink of an eye, the two fleets were a hundred paces apart.

The timing was perfect.

Gan Ning waved his halberd and shouted: "Change the order flag, death squad, kill it!" ”

On the flagship, the flag shook like the wind when it was standing.

When the order was handed down, more than 60 stern rushing ships hidden behind the fighting ship suddenly burst out from behind the big ship, and the oars were driven to the maximum, like flying fish, swishing towards the Jiangxia big ship.

The enemy has been lured closer, and Gan Ning is going to grab the ship and board the ship for a meat battle.

On the ship, Huang Zu couldn't help but change his face when he saw the changes in the Soviet army, and shouted urgently: "Order the crossbowmen to release arrows at the rushing enemy ships, and let them come up!" ”

Under the order, the enemy crossbowmen on the fighting ship immediately changed their targets, condescendingly, and fired wildly at the rushing Soviet death fleet.

At such a close distance, the crossbow was so powerful that it could almost pierce through the shield planks.

Huang Zu confidently believed that with his advantage in a strong bow and crossbow, it was enough to block the approach of the Soviet speedboats.

But soon, his face showed panic.

Because he found that his dense network of arrows did not stop the impact of the Soviet army in the slightest.

In other words, his sharp arrows could not penetrate the Soviet army's gunn rush at all.

A sneer rose at the corner of Gan Ning's mouth.

These more than 60 ships were specially built to deal with the large fighting ships of the Jiangxia Army, and they were specially asked to allocate a huge amount of money to build them carefully.

Gan Ning knows very well that the shortcomings of his own navy do not lie in the lack of fighting ships and large ships.

This shortcoming, with Su Zhe's existing territory and existing financial and material resources, is no matter how short it is in a short period of time.

Therefore, Gan Ning came up with a way to cover these sixty ship ships with nearly three layers of thick cowhide, and their defensive power was extremely strong, which could withstand any blow from a strong bow and crossbow.

Although cowhide is also very expensive, it is still much cheaper than building a fighting ship, and Su Zhe can still afford the cowhide reinforcement of more than sixty ships.

And these sixty reinforced and modified ships are the killer weapon of Gan Ning defeating the strong with the weak and breaking Huang Zu!

In the blink of an eye, seventy speedships passed through the waves, and shot into the enemy's ship formation with a net of arrows like rain.

Bang!

With a dull loud bang, the metal ramming angle at the front of the forward one of the ships slammed into one of the enemy's fighting ships.

The huge impact force made the entire enemy ship shake violently, and even many enemy soldiers lost their minds for a while and were directly shaken into the water.

Immediately afterwards, the Soviet sailors, who were eager to make meritorious contributions, collided like a tiger and a wolf, jumped onto the enemy ship with their knives, and killed the panicked enemy soldiers one by one.

In the blink of an eye, a large enemy ship was captured.

In a moment's time, the rest of the fast ships also collided with the enemy fighting ships one after another, and the tiger-wolf-like soldiers boarded the ships in close combat, killing the enemy until the ghost cried wolf, and one after another the Jiangxia naval fighting ships were captured.

The huge array of enemy ships was torn open and fell into a chaotic situation.

As soon as the road ahead opened, Gan Ning gave an order, and the remaining Soviet warships, with only a few dozen fighting ships, formed a wedge-shaped and unstoppable rush towards the enemy formation.

Due to the loss of the crossbowmen on the large ship, the density of the enemy's arrows plummeted, and under the fierce return fire of the Soviet crossbowmen, they were finally suppressed.

The advantage of long-range bows and crossbows reversed, and the Soviets became even more unscrupulous, frantically capturing the enemy's fighting ships one after another.

This sudden change in the situation, the Soviet soldiers watching the battle on the shore saw it clearly, and with the "yellow" flags being cut down, there was already thunder of joy on the shore.

"It is worthy of Jinfan Gan Xingba, well done!" Su Zhe cheered, and a smile of relief appeared on his face.
