Now the distance between the two sides is about seventy meters. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the late Han Dynasty, the effective range of the general bow and crossbow was generally 50 to 60 meters, and the so-called "100 steps through Yang" refers to the special bows made by generals with strong arm strength, and ordinary archers cannot use them. Now the distance between the two sides is seventy meters, and although Wu's arrows can barely reach the ships of Gan Ning's fleet, they obviously have no lethality at all. To put it mildly, don't you have the ability to protect the Yizhou ship?

However, at this time, because the Ganning fleet was maneuvering with Lü Meng's ships in the "Z" sailing method, and did not have a direct onboard fight with Lü Meng, the hit rate of the stones thrown by the ships and the crossbow arrows shot by the ships was a little low, and the damage to the Wu warships was naturally much smaller. On the other hand, Sergeant Wu had been teased by the Yizhou fleet for so long before, and now that he seemed to have the upper hand, they were already full of birds in their hearts, so they desperately wanted to catch up.

But Lu Meng is not a fuel-efficient lamp after all, and he has already sensed that something seems to be wrong with the situation at this time. As a person who had experienced the artillery fire of Yizhou in Quanzhou City, and later learned from others that Dong Xi and Sun Quan had been "baptized" by Lu Ren's artillery fire, Lu Meng naturally knew the power of the unknown "demon thunder" in Yizhou.

In order to deal with those "demon mines", the stations of the ships in Lümeng's water village are relatively scattered, so as not to be intensively bombed by the "demon mines" of the Yizhou ships...... Oh, Lü Meng didn't understand artillery, he set up the formation according to the army's intensive fire against bows and crossbows. Anyway, as far as Lu Meng knows, the "demon thunder" of the Yizhou ship does not fall from the sky, but "sprays" from the Yizhou ship, so it should be similar to the bow and crossbow in terms of attack mode, and it can always be useful to deal with the position of the dense bow and crossbow.

Now that the two sides are at war, what Lu Meng is most worried about is that the ships in Yizhou will carry out a "demon thunder" attack, but after fighting for so long, he has not seen the ships in Yizhou have this kind of action. Now that he came to his senses, Lu Meng immediately ordered the troops to lower their sails, and asked the oarsmen to row backwards, preparing not to pursue Gan Ning anymore, and the fleet retreated to the water village first.

It's just that although the military order was issued, when the attack was downwind and the return was against the wind, it was not so easy for these seventy ships to turn around and sail back. At this moment, the steam engine power of the whole ship of the Ganning fleet had been fully activated, and they had all entered the maximum speed, and the order issued by Ganning was that the whole ship would move forward in a long snake formation to make a right roundabout, and the fleet would go directly to the rear of the attacking ships sent by Lu Meng, cutting off the retreat of these ships to return to the water village. The stone bullets thrown from the side of the ships of the Ganning fleet and the rain of arrows formed a relatively dense barrage network, which pressed so hard that the ships facing the fleet could hardly even lift their heads.

Lu Meng saw Gan Ning's intentions, so he hurriedly ordered another boat to rescue the previous attacking ships in the water village, preparing to rescue all the attacking ships back to the water village as quickly as possible. By this time of the battle, Lu Meng had already understood that his ships were too inferior to the ships of Yizhou in terms of performance, and if he really fought with the ships of Yizhou at sea, the result could only be sunk by the ships of Yizhou one after another.

On the other hand, Lu Meng knew that Gan Ning's tactics needed the cooperation of the follow-up troops, otherwise Gan Ning's fleet would have to go straight through without daring to stop the ship, otherwise he would rush into an encirclement and wait to be eaten by Lu Meng's two-sided attack.

But no matter how you look at it now, Lu Meng has already decided that Gan Ning wants to cut off the way for his ships to return to Shuizhai, and judging from the number of ships and tactical intentions of Gan Ning, there must be a successor fleet on the Yizhou side that has not appeared. Under this premise, Lü Meng did not dare to take the risk of encircling the Ganning fleet, so it was a wiser choice to use the water village for defense after returning to the water village.

At this time, the Ganning fleet, which had completed the interception of the retreat, suddenly lowered the anchor of the whole ship, and more than 30 large ships were in a long snake formation scattered on the left and right, one side of the whole ship faced the Lv Meng fleet, and the other side faced the direction of the water village, like a wall, completely separating the Yingji fleet sent by Lu Meng from the Wu army's water village.

Seeing this, Lu Meng knew that something was wrong. After a little judgment, Lü Meng immediately ordered Xu Sheng, who remained in the water village, to lead another fleet out of the village to support, but did not ask Xu Sheng's fleet to make a gap in the wall of Ganning's ship, but let Xu Sheng's fleet temporarily contain the Ganning fleet; For the attacking ships that were intercepted outside, Lü Meng ordered them to turn to the right and use the same way as the Ganning fleet to bypass the main fire surface of the Ganning fleet, and then go around the rear of the Ganning fleet back to Shuizhai and return to Shuizhai from the side door of Shuizhai.

At this time, the side of the Ganning fleet began to attack Xu Sheng's fleet, and Xu Sheng, in accordance with Lu Meng's instructions, did not launch any substantive attack, but only restrained the Ganning fleet with a strict battle formation, so that Ganning could not make the next move. On the other side, Lümeng's fleet had already sailed some distance ahead and began to circle back.

Gan Ning saw this situation on the command platform and sighed lightly: "Lu Ziming is really a good general!" In the battle of Quanzhou, we were caught off guard by the surprise attack of his light army, and Quanzhou was almost lost, which now seems to be no accident...... This person will definitely not be kept! In addition, judging by the speed of Lu Meng's fleet, it would only take him a quarter of an hour at most to circle back to the water village. If he really goes around back, then our battle will be in vain! Pass me on the order!! ”

With Gan Ning's order, the thirty well-established Yizhou giant ships finally raised their sails, and with the powerful steam propeller power, the entire fleet began to kill the left flank of the Wu army water village at high speed. And when passing in front of Xu Sheng's fleet, the side of the whole ship of the Ganning fleet has not been idle, and I don't know how many stone bullets have been thrown, how many crossbow arrows have been fired, and the almost crazy attack barrage almost knocked Xu Sheng's fleet to the ground!

Although Xu Sheng hurriedly ordered a counterattack, Ding Feng, who stayed in the water village, saw that the Ganning fleet was killing the left flank of the water village, and hurriedly mobilized the foot soldiers on the shore to rush to the left flank to form a formation and fortify, in order to prevent the Ganning fleet from rushing to land on the beach and killing Zhongzhaizhong. And Lu Meng looked at it from a distance on the sea, and he was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted and shouted: "It's not good! Banner Commander! An order was sent to General Xu, asking his fleet to return to the water village as soon as possible, and not to intercept the road of the Ganning fleet from the waterway! Fast!! ”

The flag commander here had just beaten the flag order halfway, and the lookout soldiers over there shouted to Lu Meng in panic: "General! A large number of ships are approaching due south! The boat is extremely fast and will arrive in a matter of moments! ”

When Lu Meng hurriedly looked due south, he saw that at least more than a hundred ships were rapidly approaching, and among them, there were about fifty warships similar to the thirty giant warships of the Ganning fleet, and the rest were various other large, medium and small types of ships. Lu Meng was an expert in naval warfare at that time, and he immediately saw that the battle queue of this huge fleet was clearly divided into priorities, with two to three giant warships as the core of a combat team, and the remaining five to six mixed ships as frigates and wingmen, and the battle echelon was complete and comprehensive. To put it more simply, this kind of fleet formation is a real battle formation.

When he saw these situations clearly, Lu Meng's face turned extremely pale. He had been to Yizhou and knew the approximate situation of Yizhou's troops, but seeing such a huge battle fleet at this moment, Lu Meng only had one sentence in his heart: "Crazy!" Lu Ren, this is crazy! With so many ships dispatched, he is really raising the army of the country to avenge Quanzhou's revenge! ”

It's not that exaggerated, Lu Ren still has enough troops left in the city defense, but the naval army that can be mobilized has really assembled well. Especially when I heard that this time it was Lu Meng who led the army, Lu Ren had to gather the fleet and the corresponding materials, and come here to find Lu Meng to settle the general account!

At this moment, on the lookout of the handsome ship where Lu Ren was, Shirley was reporting to Lu Ren about the battle situation on the sea, and when he heard Lu Meng's name, Lu Ren was so hateful that he even itched his teeth, and said in his heart that you Lu Meng Lu Ziming instigated Sun Quan to betray the alliance to sneak attack Jingzhou and attack Guan Yu in the original history, but now he is sneaking up on Lao Tzu's territory Quanzhou! Thinking that Lao Tzu has spent so much effort before and after, although he has been preparing for a war against Sun Quan, he is also trying to avoid the occurrence of war as much as possible. Finally, there is some effect, the two sides can be friendly neighbors and live their own peaceful lives, but you have to instigate Sun Quan and Lao Tzu to go to war! Lu Meng seems to be very capable when he says it, and people in later generations also have a high evaluation of your ability, but in Lao Tzu's opinion, you have nothing to do except attack your friends and then make a mess of things!

In a sense, Lu Meng's sneak attack on Jingzhou really made a mess of things. Tactically, Lü Meng fought very successfully, but he did not make a good strategic prediction after defeating Jingzhou. And as soon as he succeeded, Liu Bei immediately sent troops from Sichuan to kill Eastern Wu. But he Lu Meng was well, and he died of illness before Liu Bei sent out his troops, so that Dongwu was almost directly destroyed by Liu Bei. If it weren't for Lu Xun standing up to turn the tide, it would be really difficult to say what the situation would be in the later period of the Three Kingdoms.

These are not, Lu Ren doesn't know much about the art of war and tactics, but he still understands some after all, so he immediately ordered: "Order Huang Zhong to lead the ships to attack first, and be sure to stop him before the ships they sent return to Shuizhai!" The big ships can't catch up, and the small and medium-sized ships have to arrive first, and the hard block must also block those ships! ”

When the order was issued, Lu Ren ordered again: "Send an order to the right flank fleet, asking them to follow closely behind Huang Zhong and block the flank and rear of Lü Meng's fleet, so that Lü Meng and Shuizhai will not respond to the attacking fleet!" ”

Under the two orders, the fleet led by Lu Ren was reduced to six out of ten, but the remaining fifty ships were all large gunboats, except for a dozen medium-sized escort wingmen...... (To be continued.) )
