Regardless of whether the encounter turned into a hasty decisive battle, or whether Lu Ren's fleet retreated alternately under cover, Sun Quan would be the one who suffered in Dong's view. www.biquge.info Because the current battle is said to be an encounter is only for the Wu army, Lu Ren is obviously fully prepared, and the naval combat ability shown is so strong...... Lu Ren's troops were on the defensive, and the purpose was not to attack the city and plunder the land, but to cripple the Wu army's troops, so that the Wu army's strength suffered heavy losses, so for the Yizhou side, the purpose of this battle was completely achieved. Because as long as Sun Quan's forces were severely defeated in the battle at sea, what would Sun Quan do to capture Quanzhou next?

Therefore, the choice made by Dong Xi is no longer to fight hard with the Ganning fleet, but to delay as much as possible. One is to delay the arrival of Sun Quan's reinforcements, and the other is to preserve his troops here as much as possible. Lu Ren's actual strength that could be put into battle was not much, and Sun Quan's main force would have an absolute advantage in terms of troops. As long as Sun Quan's side does not create a situation of adding fuel or rushing to fight, but calmly arranges and attacks after the arrival of the main force, then Sun Quan can still take advantage of a decisive battle with Lu Ren on this sea area.

Because of the procrastination of the battle, there has been no substantial progress in the battle between the two sides for the time being. After a period of time, Dong Xi finally reluctantly rearranged the fleet formation through a roundabout way, and then used this to contain Gan Ning's fleet, so that Gan Ning could not make the next move.

Seeing such a situation on the command platform, Gan Ning couldn't help but sigh sincerely: "The leader on the opposite side is a good general. ”

Huang Zhong was a little impatient: "Now is not the time to talk about this, right?" The enemy acted in this way, apparently waiting for reinforcements from the rear. We are stuck in this position now, if we are really driven by Sun Quan Xiaoer's follow-up fleet, then we will be caught in the front and back. ”

After hearing this, Gan Ning looked at the table clock placed on the side...... Don't be surprised, it's a grandfather clock, one of those very old and bulky clock-up clocks. It has been more than ten years since Yizhou was present, and it has been five or six years since the Zhen family arrived in Yizhou. Under the premise of having manufacturing patterns, it was impossible for Zhen's craftsmen to make those too fine pocket watch parts, but a heavy and sturdy table clock that was more than one meter tall could still be made.

Although the output so far is not very large, it is more than enough to have one place in the main administrative points of Yizhou and the homes of various key officials. And in the city centers of Keelung and Mangjia, isn't there a huge "Big Ben" each? And such an important ship as the command flagship of Gan Ning and others should be placed on one so that the commander can grasp the time.

"Oh!? Before we knew it, we had been playing for almost an hour! Lao Huang, give the order to attack! The fleet led by the lord is ready to arrive at any time! ”

Huang Zhong licked his lips excitedly after hearing this: "Okay! This is the moment I was waiting for! ”

With Gan Ning's order, sixty well-trained Yizhou ships finally raised their sails, and with the powerful steam propeller power, the entire fleet began to kill Dong's fleet at high speed. And when passing in front of Dong Raid's fleet, the entire side of the Gan Ning fleet has not been idle, and I don't know how many stone bullets and crossbow arrows were fired, and the almost crazy attack barrage almost knocked Dong Raid's fleet overturned.

Although Dong Xi hurriedly ordered a counterattack, how fast did the ships of the Ganning fleet run? Dong's ship couldn't catch up or hit, so he could only stare angrily. However, in this way, the Gan Ning fleet gave up the previous route, and Dong Xian saw this and hurriedly ordered the ships to adjust their course and prepare to return according to the original route, striving to meet Sun Quan's main force as soon as possible.

The flag commander had just beaten the flag order halfway through, and he shouted to Dong Xi 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 Dong Xun hurriedly looked due south, he saw that there were about more than 100 ships approaching rapidly, and among them, there were about 50 warships similar to the giant warships in the Ganning fleet, and the rest were other large, medium and small types of ships. Dong Xi was also an expert in water 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, Dong Xi's face became extremely pale. Sun Shangxiang had mentioned some information about Lu Ren when he stayed here in Dong Raid before, so Dong Raid knew the approximate situation of Yizhou's troops, and seeing such a huge battle fleet at this moment, Dong Raid 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!! ”

That's right, at present, only 2 or 3,000 troops were left in Yizhou, Quanzhou, and other places to garrison, and the 3,000 troops in Quanzhou at that time were considered mobile troops, and now they are all temporarily incorporated into the navy's ships to supplement the tight situation in terms of personnel on each ship. This can actually be calculated, Lu Ren's 8,000 sailors are divided into 180 boats, and the average number of people in each boat is only about 40. Of course, it doesn't matter if there are enough small and medium-sized ships with only twenty or thirty people, but those large ships really want to fight large-scale battles, and how can they be enough without a staff of hundreds of people? What's more, Lu Ren has a lot of big ships on hand.

In short, Lu Ren brought tens of thousands of troops out this time, which can basically be said to be all the belongings that Lu Ren can mobilize at present. And the current sea area was selected in order to come here to find Sun Quan to settle the general account.

And at this moment, on Lu Ren's flagship lookout, Shirley was looking at the battlefield through a telescope: "Senior brother, there are more than 100 ships of all kinds in the fleet that is entangled here by Gan Ning, and it should only be Sun Quan's vanguard. The font size on the banner is 'Dong'...... If nothing else, it should be Dong Xi under Sun Quan. ”

When Lu Ren heard Dong Xi's name, he couldn't help but laugh a little. Because among the generals in Jiangdong, Dong Xi may have died the most unjustly, and the cause of death was actually a strong wind and waves when he helped Sun Quan inspect the new ship, and the ship was overturned by the wind and waves and drowned in the water. After so many years of mixing, Lu Ren knows that it is by no means to say that Dong Xi's water nature is not good, if the people who lead the water army all the year round are not good at water nature, isn't it nonsense? The key problem must be that the wind and waves are too strong, and no matter how good Dong Xi is, he can't give full play to his water nature. Manpower is sometimes poor, how can it compete with the sky? To put it mildly, those who drown in the water are often swimmers, and this is not unreasonable.

But this little thing is just to think about it and smile again, and Liu Ye is standing behind Lu Ren, who is also watching the situation on the battlefield over there very carefully. After taking a few looks, Liu Ye decisively said to Lu Renjin: "Gan Xingba has already dragged the other party, and looking at the other party's current movements, he is preparing to turn around and join Sun Quan's main force." Now that they are headwinding against the wind, their speed is limited, and the general should attack immediately to eat this vanguard and prevent them from joining Sun Quan...... Meat, we should eat it bite by bite! ”

Lu Ren nodded and ordered, "Send an order to Gan Ning and Huang Zhong to give them up their seats!" The gunboats of this team first fired at full speed, caught up with Dong Raid and then began to maintain speed at a distance of 600 meters. All guns are on standby! ”

With Lu Ren's order, the fifty gunboats in Lu Ren's own team temporarily threw off the other ships and rushed out of the queue first. In the eyes of Sergeant Wu, these fifty gunboats were all monsters with billowing smoke coming out of a large thick pipe on the hull, and they felt very scary just by looking at them.
