"Senior brother, the front of Wu Junshui Village has been left, everyone has left it to you, give the order!"

Lu Ren nodded, drew his saber and pointed at Wu Junshuizhai, and shouted: "Full speed ahead!" To 500 meters away from Wu Jun's water village, the whole ship crossed and met the enemy on the port side! All gun emplacements and gunners are ready to fire! ”

At this moment, the battlefield has been divided into three combat zones. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Thirty large ships of the Ganning fleet approached the left flank of the Wu army's Shuizhai, forcing Ding Feng to deploy ground troops on the beachhead on the left flank of the Shuizhai to prevent Ganning from seizing the beach. The fleet formed an "L" formation, and used the trebuchets and crossbows on the ships with medium and long-range superiority to bombard the Wu army's water villages, fleets, and ground foot soldiers on the beachhead.

In fact, the main task of the fleet led by Gan Ning is to lure and contain, and he does not really want Gan Ning to seize the beach, so he is still using his own superior firepower to contain the troops and ships left by the Wu army in the water village and land village, and does not let Lu Meng support Xu Sheng and Ding Feng again.

In addition, Lu Ren explained clearly to Gan Ning and others during this sortie, Yizhou's military resources are limited, especially these direct personnel under Gan Ning, who are really elite soldiers who fought hard battles in the north, all of them are Yizhou's treasures, and one less Lu Ren will be heartbroken, so until the last resort, Gan Ning will never be allowed to fight land, and if you can reduce losses, you must reduce the losses of soldiers as much as possible.

Then there was the right flank of the Wu army, where Xu Sheng was. After being lured out by Gan Ning, these ships went through a fierce battle, and by the time they made a circle to prepare to return to Shuizhai from the right flank of the water village, they were already several miles away from the Wu army's water village, and the return speed was very slow due to the headwind. When Huang Zhong was ordered to attack, he directly dispatched twenty medium-sized steam clippers. These twenty medium-sized clippers rushed to Xu Sheng's head to block Xu Sheng's return to the waterway. It's just that after the collision between these twenty clippers and the ships of Xu Sheng's fleet, a broadside approach battle is no longer inevitable.

However, although the naval army brought out by Huang Zhong is not as exaggerated as Ganning's naval army, it is definitely not a rookie, after all, Huang Zhong has led this group of naval troops to wander between the islands of Southeast Asia, and they are very proficient in naval combat drills. At this moment, as soon as the ships of Xu Sheng's fleet were connected, the hand-to-hand combat on the deck entered a white-hot state almost instantly. As soon as the road ahead was blocked because of this, Xu Sheng couldn't get out if he wanted to, so he could only get entangled with Huang Zhong's troops.

A little later, Huang Zhong's other more than ten main warships arrived, and the pressure on Xu Sheng's side immediately skyrocketed. Looking at our old man Huang personally holding a bow and shooting on the command platform, I don't know how many helmsmen and sailors of Wu warships have been put down. This is Lu Ren warned Old Man Huang, saying that your old man is a commander, don't rush up and cut people in person at every turn, otherwise...... said so, but there were also a few bold Wu soldiers who bullied the approach, but without exception, they were all cut down and overturned by Old Man Huang with a knife, and finally provoked Old Man Huang to get up, so he simply went into battle with a knife, but the command task was thrown to Huang Xu, who was full of helplessness.

A little later, more than 30 follow-up warships sent by Lu Ren to support Huang Zhong also arrived at the battlefield where Xu Sheng's fleet was located. Unlike Huang Zhong's fleet, the main purpose of these ships was to completely block Xu Sheng's retreat and possible escape routes, so these more than 30 warship formations did not join the battle, but large warships anchored to block the way, and medium and small warships cruised around the battlefield, shooting arrows at Wu soldiers on Xu Sheng's ships from time to time. In addition, for the people who fell into the water, of course, their own side should be rescued as soon as possible, and the Wu army's side should be ...... If you can't shoot it, you will be stabbed to death with a spear!

Finally, there is the front of Wu Jun. In general, although the left and right flanks of the Wu army are now in a mess, about half of the Wu army's troops have still not been dispatched, and Xu Sheng's fleet is also desperately and slowly retreating to Shuizhai. For the left and right wings, Lu Meng didn't want to save it, but he didn't dare to save it, because in front of him, Lu Ren's fifty warships were pressing over step by step, and where did Lu Meng dare to get out of the way and let Lu Ren's main fleet rush directly into the water village?

Not to mention anything else, just the fifty giant battleships that were terrifying to look at gave Lu Meng a great sense of oppression. Lu Meng could even imagine that once these fifty monster giant warships broke through the main gate of the water village and rushed into the water village, and put a fire on the water village with stones and arrows, the water village of the Wu army would basically be completely finished! Not to mention...... These fifty battleships may spew "demon thunder".

It's a pity that Lu Meng's plan to retreat back into the turtle shell was exactly what Lu Ren wanted, and Lu Ren even muttered to himself: "A little more compact, a little more compact...... Yes, yes, that's all! What the hell are you, you hit me off guard before, and today I'm going to let you taste what is unexpected! ”

Soon, Lü Meng's fleet had no choice but to form a compact defensive ship formation in front of the main gate of Wu Jun's water village, and Lu Ren's main fleet also laid a "(" shaped formation on the sea about five hundred steps in front of the main gate of Wu Jun's water village, and fifty giant warships were also lined up, all facing Wu army on the starboard side.

And at this moment, Lu Meng's heart was suddenly extremely nervous, because he had already seen the rocky attack of the Ganning fleet before, and the prelude to the attack was to face the enemy on the side like the current Lu Ren fleet. It's just that the effective range of Gan Ning's rocky attack is generally about 100 meters, but Lu Ren's fleet is stopped at 500 meters, so can those rocks really be able to hit it?

"Not good!"

At this time, Lu Meng suddenly reacted, he had tried his best to scatter the ships as much as possible, what did he mainly want to guard against? But now that it is like this, it has inadvertently gathered the ships again, so what Lu Ren's side will do next is probably ......

By the time Lu Meng reacted, it was too late, Lu Ren saw this situation and sneered lightly, pointed the tip of the saber in his hand at Wu Jun, and shouted loudly: "The whole ship fires!" ”

With Lu Ren's order, rows of tongues of fire immediately erupted from the starboard porthole of the main ship where he was located, and one after another cast iron cannonballs shot towards the main gate of the Wu Army's water village where Lu Meng was located, and then the rest of the forty or so giant warships also sprayed out tongues of fire one after another, and hundreds or even thousands of cast iron cannonballs were like meteors dying stones, covering the Wu army like a torrential rain.

After the huge roar passed, almost the entire battlefield was stunned, and when they looked at the main gate of Wu Jun's water village, they were stunned in an instant...... What kind of attack is this!?

And under the rain of bullets, the main gate of Lü Meng's fleet and Wu Jun's water village has been full of holes, and the ships of Lü Meng's fleet have been rotten by more than half! Look closely at a certain place, a cast iron cannonball with a long tail of fire hit the bow of a certain Wu army warship like a meteor, and in the rumble, a large hole was directly blasted out in the bow of this Wu army warship, and then this Wu army warship could not escape the fate of sinking into the water.

Lü Meng's handsome ship was large and conspicuous among the ships, but it also became a direct target for many shells. In each round of bullet rain, at least twenty or thirty of them were aimed at Lu Meng's handsome ship. Finally, Lu Meng, as a general, reacted quickly enough, and had been prepared before, seeing the first round of flames erupting from Lu Ren's side, Lu Meng jumped from the boat into the water without thinking too much, and thus escaped, otherwise he might have been beaten into a pile of meat by cast iron cannonballs at this time.

The person was fluttering in the water, and he hurriedly untied the copper and iron armor on his body. If you don't get rid of the copper and iron armor on your body, no matter how good the water is, you will have to sink. When he finally untied the armor and then swam to the middle of the water village, Lu Meng found that his handsome boat had become a pile of sawdust residue on the water, and the dozens of boats he brought out would be all this virtue in a few minutes. As for the wooden water wall, the fence or something...... In the face of such an attack from Lu Ren's side, it is better not to do anything.

After a few rounds of shelling, the people on the battlefield had already reacted, and in an instant, the morale of the Yizhou soldiers skyrocketed, and the morale of the Wu soldiers fell to the bottom all of a sudden. At the beginning of the Battle of Guandu, Lao Cao's hundreds of stone carts could make Yuan Shao's soldiers dare not attack from the ground, so it is not uncommon for Lu Ren's hundreds of artillery pieces to beat the Wu army.

It's a pity that Shirley was by Lu Ren's side, and after secretly counting the number of shellings in her heart, she whispered to Lu Ren: "Master, please stop in moderation!" The ships didn't carry a lot of gunpowder and shells, and although we have been ramping up production recently, our production capacity is still a little bit out of line. And this is only a sea route of two hundred and seventy nautical miles from Sun Quan's Wu County, if Sun Quan sends reinforcements here in time, your master is not as strong as Sun Quan's troops, so you have to leave something to show deterrence, so that the army can calmly return. ”

Lu Ren glanced back at Shirley, although his heart was not enjoyable enough at this time, nor was it enough to relieve his anger, but he still calmly pressed it down and nodded to Shirley. How much bottom you have, you know best in your heart. These fifty artillery battleships took a lot of effort from Lu Ren and Shirley, and Lu Ren couldn't be clearer.

Gunpowder, Lu Ren and Shirley actually got it a long time ago. It's just that although the gunpowder came out, due to the limitations of backward productivity at that time, Lu Ren and Shirley had always wanted to mass produce it but couldn't do it. For example, gunpowder that can really be used on the battlefield, such as saltpeter and sulfur, can only be refined after purification, but how to purify it on a large scale at that time? There is information and there is information, and with the fact that the people at that time were completely ignorant of the formal knowledge of chemistry, it may be that many people died before they were brought up. If it weren't for that, Lu Ren and Shirley wouldn't have left a character like Zuo Ci behind to engage in chemical engineering...... (To be continued.) )
