Chapter 1040: The Final Naval Battle of Kanto
When the battle on the Youzhou side entered the final battle, in the waters of Laizhou Bay in Qingzhou, the navy between Wu and Wei also opened their last naval battle.
"Metropolitan Governor, the fleet of the Wu army has entered this sea area, and the small islands in the four directions have been targeted by them, and the sea areas in the three directions of our southeast and west have all been blocked, and their main force is constantly approaching, and the space around us has been surrounded to death!"
On the undulating sea, one after another Cao Wei warships were waiting for them, and on one of the building ships, Zhang Yun hurriedly came, arched his hands, and reported to the main general Cai Mao.
"What a bait, I really lured my main force out, a certain family is a mistake, and I lost all the games!"
Cai Mao's expression was pale.
A moment of greed caused all his main forces to be exposed under the noses of the Soochow warships.
"Governor, how are we doing now?" A group of naval generals looked at Cai Mao.
"Now, we can only fight!"
Cai Mao stretched out his hand and patted his head, his expression was not flustered, and there was a hint of determination in his hoarse voice: "We have no way to avoid this battle, so we can only fight to the death, I don't want to hide like this, if you want to defeat the Wu army, after all, you have to confront them head-on, in this battle, either they die, or we die!" ”
His voice was unequivocal and unstoppable.
"But the main combat effectiveness of the Soochow Navy is too strong, and they are all ironclad warships, one warship is enough to sink more than three of our warships!" Someone whispered.
The Soochow Navy is the best in the world.
That's true.
It turned out that the Soochow Navy had not used the main force at all before, and the generals of the Cao Wei Navy were still proud, thinking that the navy they trained could finally compete with the Soochow Navy.
But if they really encounter the main force of the Soochow Navy, they can only be defeated.
"Governor, why don't we break through to the north!" Zhang Yun was also not confident enough and said in a low voice.
"North? This is not a breakout. It's about running away, where do you want to run from, where can you escape? ”
Cai Mao smiled coldly, and instead asked, "If it's about speed, can we compare to the Soochow Navy?" Now that they have discovered our main force, we have no choice. Either surrender or fight your way out, are you willing to surrender? ”
The speed is not as good as a person, and you can't escape.
Even if you want to break through, you can only break through from the front, because once you escape from the back, the speed is not enough, and it is easy to be caught up, and then let them do it without much effort. and destroyed them directly.
"I don't want to!"
When Zhang Yun heard this, he immediately smiled slightly bitterly, but said with a very firm expression.
If he was still playing in Jingzhou back then, he could have considered the issue of surrender, but now that they have surrendered to Cao Wei first, could it be true that they will really be a slave with three surnames?
As a military general, he would rather fight to the death.
"In that case, then we can only fight to the death with Soochow!"
Cai Mao's expression was resolute and cold: "Pass my military order." We must preemptively attack the Wu army, which has not yet completely formed a siege on our fleet. Whatever it takes, fight your way through the front! ”
"No!"
Zhang Yun nodded, and at this moment, his heart was also determined to fight.
"Archer, archery!"
"Throw stones, sink them!"
"Rush over!"
"Bang me hard!"
Messy voices. A big battle broke out directly on the sea, and under the rolling of one heavy wave after another, the warships between Wu and Wei were interspersed, and small stones flew back and forth like cannonballs, and arrows danced wildly.
"Looks like their morale is high!"
On the deck of a command building ship outside the battlefield. Zhou Yu, the secretary of the General Staff Department, sat in the Chinese army, holding up a telescope in his hand, carefully observing the battle in the distance.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but outline a sneer: "Cai Mao, this is a performance of fighting to the death at all costs!" ”
"Hmph, they're just trapped beasts fighting!"
Zhou Tai, who was beside Zhou Yu, sneered when he heard this, picked up the big knife with his big hand, and then shouted loudly, jumping directly from the deck of the building ship and jumping directly on a fighting ship: "I will personally go and break their defensive line, and then annihilate them!" ”
Under the big shout, Zhou Tai personally led the warships under his command to directly attack the internal defense line formed by the warships of the Wei army, rampage, and the indomitable ferocity suddenly boosted the morale of countless Wu army soldiers.
"Kill!"
"Bump into them, sink them!"
"Throw rocks and sink their ships!"
Under the personal leadership of Zhou Tai, the commander of the corps, the soldiers of the Wu army were full of morale, shouting, brave and invincible, and fought to kill the warships of the Wei army.
"This Zhou Youping, he is already a dignified corps commander, why is he still so impulsive!"
Zhou Yu put down the binoculars and shook his head helplessly.
"Lord Shangshu, the commander is originally this character!" A staff clerk on the deck said with a smile.
"The commander is the commander, the head of a legion, you can't let your personality sway, you have to supervise him well in the future, otherwise if Your Majesty sees it with your own eyes, it is estimated that he will be thrown directly into the martial arts hall!"
Zhou Yu pursed his lips, he looked up at the sky, and then asked a few staff officers beside him, "What is the wind direction now?" ”
"Southeasterly wind!"
A staff officer stood up and answered Zhou Yu's question: "Lord Shangshu, we are now facing this battle against the wind!" ”
"Fighting against the wind? No wonder I can't rush up, someone comes, pass on my military order! ”
Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "Suppress our remaining reserve two regiments, we must overwhelm the Wei warships, it is best to let them not exert their strength!" ”
"No!"
"Is the newly baked Thunderbolt from Jinling City ready?" Zhou Yu continued to ask.
This is Soochow's secret weapon.
It was only used once in Yangping Pass back then, and now it is also the first time it has been used at sea, and there are not many of them, just to test the water and whether it can play a role at sea.
"It's ready!"
One of the staff officers stood up: "Lord Keshangshu, didn't you say that you can't use it until the end?" ”
"Isn't it the last moment?"
Zhou Yu's eyes were sharp: "All ready, as long as the wind direction changes, start to replace the stones of the trebuchet with thunder, I will see if I can decide the battle in one battle!" ”
"Yes!"
The staff officers nodded.
Zhou Yu raised his head, staring at the black dragon battle flag representing Cao Wei fluttering in the sky blue sky in front of him, and said coldly: "Now everything is ready, only the northwest wind is owed!" ”
From today's position on the battlefield, the northwest wind is the Shunfeng for the Eastern Wu battle, and the southeast wind is the headwind.
Under the headwind, it is not easy to fight.
Only the tailwind can exert the most powerful force of the secret weapon of Soochow, because under the bombardment of thunder, it will not only blow up the warship, but also cause a fire to burn.
The great war at sea lasted for a day and a night.
The soldiers on both sides began to be a little exhausted, but they still gritted their teeth and fought down, the Wu army wanted to attack, the Wei army wanted to break through, and in this sea of high wind and waves, it was completely entangled.
The next day, in the early hours of the morning, it was dark and dark.
At this time, the direction of the wind suddenly changed, and the wind direction that was originally towards the southeast gradually became blowing towards the west, and then evolved into a northwest wind.
"Grand Governor, many of the warships of the Second Fleet have been sunk, and only one building ship remains!" During the battle, Zhang Yun was in a hurry to report.
"Damn it!"
Cai Mao clenched his fists: "Pass on my military order, all the warships are gathered, in the direction of the south, and rush out vigorously, I don't believe that his warships in Dongwu are really so strong and indestructible!" ”
Now he can only fight to the death, although his strength is not weak, but in the face of the Soochow warship, the combat effectiveness is too weak, three warships are desperate to fight to kill a Soochow warship, how can this battle be undefeated.
"No!"
The generals took their last breath and began to concentrate their warships, heading in the direction of the Donglai Peninsula to the south, attacking the defensive line formed by the warships of Soochow one after another.
"Lord Shangshu, now the wind direction is northwest, and the wind is very strong!" Commanding the warship, the staff officer reported to Zhou Yu.
"Good!"
Zhou Yu directly slapped the case, looked up at the misty sky, and shouted: "Now is a good time, God help me, come, let Zhou Tai withdraw his troops for three miles first, relax Cai Mao's vigilance, and then replace the stones thrown by the trebuchet with thunder, I want to burn the company camp!" ”
"No!"
The staff officer looked shocked, nodded hurriedly, and then quickly went down to give the order.
"Dongwu Ju then retreated!"
When Cai Mao led the remnants of the army to rush out of the defense line of Eastern Wu, he suddenly looked at the fleet of the Wu army suddenly retreating, and his expression suddenly became stunned, but at this time he just thought about rushing out: "No matter, rush out first!" ”
"Get out!"
"Get out!"
The officers and men of the Wei army began to drive the warship and rushed out violently.
Woohoo!!
Suddenly, in mid-air, black and slippery stone-like things seemed to fall like meteors.
"What's the use of throwing stones to smash our warship at this time?"
Cai Mao raised his head, looked at these stones, and sneered: "Sons, don't care about their trebuchets, try to avoid them, and give me a hard ......."
Boom Boom Boom Boom !!!!
Before he could finish his words, a violent cannonball suddenly sounded, and the warships under his command had turned into a sea of fire under the tossing and turning in the waves.
The misty sky was half of the sky reddened by the sudden firelight.
"Ahh
"Help!"
"The ship was blown open with a big hole and flooded!"
"Our ships are sinking!"
"The fire is burning, put out the fire!"
All the Cao Wei warships seemed to be shrouded in this sea of fire, and one after another miserable cries went straight to the top of the sky. (To be continued.) )
