In addition to the heavy casualties, the sails of the Jiangdong warships were shot by crossbows like dogs, and they were full of holes.

The sail could not hold back from the wind, and the speed of the sail slowly decreased, getting slower and slower. Losing its speed advantage, the Jiangdong Navy has completely become a lamb to the slaughter.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and when Han Dang was worried about his situation, the bad news came: a fleet flying the blood red cross flag appeared in the rear of the Jiangdong naval army. Although there were no such large ships in the fleet, the number of warships was quite large, as there were 50 building ships and hundreds of gate ships, and there were countless ships.

Han Dang knew that it was the Xuzhou Navy under the command of the Governor of the Xuzhou Water Army. This naval army has been docked in Shouchun in the past, eyeing Moling. It's just that because the Jiangdong Navy far exceeds Wenpin in terms of force and number of warships, Wenpin has never dared to make any moves, but just stopped at the shore of the harbor to guard and wait for the opportunity.

Speaking of which, Han Dang and Wen Ping are still old enemies. Since the time of Liu Biao, the two of them have fought several times on the river. The two don't know each other.

For Wenpin, Han Dang still appreciates it. And more than once in front of the generals, he praised Wen Ping for his courage and resourcelessness, and he was a rare excellent naval general. If it weren't for the weak strength of the Jingzhou Navy, the battle between the Jiangdong Navy, the Jingzhou Navy, would not have been won repeatedly.

Later, when he learned that Wen Ping worshiped under Luan Yimen, Han Dang sighed again and again, and clearly told Sun Ce at a banquet: The reason why Wen Ping was difficult to win in the past was because Liu Biao had no eyes, only knew comfort, did not want to forge ahead, and did not invest in building a naval army. On the contrary to Liu Biao, Luan Yi far surpasses Liu Biao in terms of vision and financial resources. With Luan Yi's strong support, when Wenpin obtains a strong naval army, it will be the moment when my Jiangdong falls.

It's a pity that Sun Ce at the banquet ate too much wine and didn't take Han Dang's words seriously. Now, the prophecy has come true. The Wenpin Navy, which had been dormant for several years, opened its sharp minions, and Tai Shici was one east and one west, blocking Han Dang's entire fleet in the middle of the river, unable to advance or retreat.

The defeat was decided, and Han Dang suddenly felt that he was old. I am so old that I can't see through everything in the world, and I wonder how the world has become like this!

I think that when the old lord (Sun Jian) was alive, the battle for hegemony in Jiangdong has always been fought with a knife and a gun. But now, before even the side of the ship on the opposite side has been touched, half of the soldiers and horses, and more than half of the warship have sunk inexplicably.

What the Church of Our Lady, the Church of the Holy Virgin, ah...... Heaven's Gate. The common people are like crazy...... There are also the little daughters-in-law in Jiangdong, who are all clamoring to learn from Jiangbei's mother-in-law to become officials. Sun Shangxiang's girl also coaxed.

Han Dang refuted him in public, but the next day his door was splashed with paint. Others pointed at his nose in the street and said that he was defiling the Holy Woman.

The saint is a girl, that stupid girl grew up watching Lao Tzu. Which of her hairs has anything to do with the 'sacred'?

But today's young people are convinced of this.

At this moment, Han Dang, who was greatly stimulated, thought of a lot, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, "Old lord! What's wrong with this world? What's wrong! ”

He burst into tears, feeling more and more old, too old to adapt to this strange time, both in his mind and in his knowledge...... He couldn't even command operations at the most basic level.

As a general, a samurai, what else can you do if you can't go into battle and kill the enemy?

He looked directly at Wen Ping, who was chasing after him at full speed with full sails behind him, and then glanced at Tai Shici, who put away the iron anchor and turned his head to kill him.

Take another look, the own warship full of arrows, and the Jiangdong soldiers with frightened expressions on the warship.

Han Dang knew that the battle situation was certain, and resisting again would be nothing more than adding casualties. He brought the sons and daughters of Jiangdong out of his hometown, not to send them to death, but to let them win the battle and return home safely with honor.

Since you can't give them the honor of the victors, then at least save their lives!

"The whole army closes the sails and shows the white flag!" Han Dang said dejectedly.

Adjutant General Ding Feng was stunned when he heard this, "General, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Surrender!"

Ding Feng was silent, he knew that Han Dang had done the right thing, and the only way to survive when he surrendered now.

"Success or failure is already in sight, you and your sons should survive!" Han Dang added.

"What about you?" As soon as Ding Feng's words came out, he saw Han Dang pull out his sword with lightning speed and slash his throat with a sharp blade...... chose to cut himself.

His tall body then fell over the fence and fell into the middle of the river like a kite with a broken string, and the river disappeared after turning over a few Lang flowers.

"General Han." Ding Feng and the boatload of Jiangdong soldiers knelt on the ground and bowed, crying silently.

An asymmetrical water war has since ended. Tai Shici and Wen Ping worked together to defeat more than 20,000 Jiangdong naval troops, destroyed 100 warships, and captured more than 20,000 enemies. Later, the captives were transported back to Shouchun.

Knowing that the Han Dang naval army was all destroyed, Zhang Zhao, who was stationed in Moling, was shocked, that was all the barriers in Jiangdong at present, and his destruction indicated that the waterway from Jiangbei to Jiangnan was completely undefended. At the same time, Jiangdong was also in danger of a serious shortage of troops.

Tai Shi Ci only needs to take a boat all the way south, and he can easily take Moling.

Just as Zhang Zhao feared, Tai Shici's giant ship appeared in Qu'a Harbor early the next morning.

However, he did not force his way ashore, but only ordered the artillery and Perak to launch round after round of bombardment against the port. The bombing lasted for a day and a night, and after dropping more than a dozen tons of explosives, the port city that was once the most prosperous port city in Jiangdong was blown into a scorched earth by sharp artillery fire. The streets and alleys live up to their existence, and there are ruins everywhere. The Notre Dame Navy landed without much effort.

However, to Zhang Zhao's surprise, Tai Shici's warship did not land, but quietly left in the early morning of the next day and headed west.

Zhang Zhao immediately guessed that Tai Shici was going to Wulin to block Sun Ce's way back. He really wanted to send someone to report to Sun Ce, but at this time, the river was completely blocked by Tai Shici and Wen Ping, and the ships couldn't cross the river at all.

If it is a warm day in spring and summer, it can also make a good swimmer swim across the river, but now it is a cold winter, and swimming in the water is tantamount to suicide.

"What a good thing this is!" Zhang Zhao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he was helpless.

Five days later, the news that a huge fleet led by Tai Shici and Wen Ping appeared in the waters thirty miles away from Wulin Port made Huang Gai break out in a cold sweat.

He immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, the presence of the Holy Mother Sect's warship in these waters meant that Han Dang's sailors were more than lucky. If the more than 400 warships on the shore of Ulin Harbor were destroyed again, then Jiangdong's proud naval army would be completely annihilated. The future of the Great River will be a smooth road for the sailors of the Notre Dame Sect.

He really wanted to keep the warships in Wulin Harbor, but after all, his strength was limited, there were only more than 7,000 horses, and thousands of these people were wounded soldiers after the previous battle, and the rest were mostly old and young...... It can be said that the old and the young and the sick and the disabled gather together.

With such a small number of people, let alone protecting the warships, it is impossible to even drive all the warships.

Facing more than 500 Notre Dame ships with such a force is no different from killing yourself.

However, I want to think so. The loyal Huang Gai, even in the face of such difficulties, did not have the slightest intention of escaping.

He organized 7,000 soldiers, boarded the battleship, and put on a posture of fighting to the death.

However, will Tai Shi Ci give him a chance to fight a decisive battle? Of course not.

More than 500 warships of various colors of the Holy Mother Sect discharged a fan-shaped array, blocking Huang Gai and his party in the river harbor. Twelve treasure ships, fifty Haixing building ships are lined up, and the earth cannons of the treasure ships and the thunderbolt platforms of the building ships are in place one after another.

"Put!"

A dark cloud composed of explosives packets and handmelons shrouded the entire Jiangdong Navy Division in the shadow of death, and the blazing fire and continuous blasting sound then rang out.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment, the Jiangdong Navy Division suffered heavy casualties. Nearly 100 warships were bathed in flames, and more than 1,000 Jiangdong soldiers were full of lust, carrying their heads in the river water, intending to draw water to extinguish the fire, but they never thought that the cold river water in the cold winter of Layue further accelerated the process of their lives.

In the depths of winter, even on the riverside, the climate is very dry. The hull of the ship is burning, and it is harder to extinguish it than to ascend to the sky.

More than a dozen warships leaked and sank at the first time of the explosion, and the speed of water seepage was not fast at first, and the soldiers in the cabin desperately splashed water overboard with containers, but under the action of water pressure, the breach became bigger and bigger, and the bottom of the ship kept bursting out with "squeak" whimpering...... Then, "bang", the breach suddenly collapsed and expanded into a huge hole, and the piercing river water poured into the bottom compartment of the warship like a, swallowing all the soldiers who rescued the danger in the bilge.

The people of Jiangdong are good at swimming, so most of the soldiers killed in this battle did not drown, but died of freezing.

Huang Zhong's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and his face was bitter. He muttered back and forth, "It's over, it's all over!" ”

It's all over.

Tai Shi Ci doesn't seem to be in a hurry to launch a general attack, but in fact, he is indeed not in a hurry to launch a general attack. He has plenty of time, and Luan Yi gave him only one task, to block the river and prevent Sun Ce from escaping south.

He had now successfully completed his mission, and the battle of Ulin was nothing more than a dispensable extra.

He began to treat this battle as a live ammunition act, and used the Jiangdong warships as live targets, so that his gunners could enjoy it.

The gunners on the treasure ship did enjoy the joy of crushing their opponents. They laughed and laughed at the mechanical actions of installing fuses and filling gunpowder, and after throwing the shells, they also exchanged shooting experiences with each other, and when someone hit the target, people would raise their hands to celebrate and ask each other for advice.

The shelling continued for a day and two nights, and the port of Ulin was once again in flames after a fire a month earlier.

Huang Gai was shot and capsized during the period, and he, Gan Ning and the entire ship of soldiers all fell into the water. Huang Gai was fateful, and when he fell into the water, he happened to grab a wooden plank, held the plank and swam to the shore, trembling and fleeing to the north to find Sun Ce.

Gan Ning was relatively miserable. He was already seriously injured, and after falling into the water, the cold water froze him enough, and when his life was dying, he was fortunately rescued by a church walker patrolling here, and was sent to the military medical care camp in time for treatment, and he survived.
