Chapter 199: Naval Battle
At this time, the thirty warships of the Great Jin Dynasty had already formed a battle formation, and the soldiers of Zhao State on the opposite side, seeing this situation, were even more sure of their guesses.
"General, the opposite side must be the warship of the Jin army." A junior colonel affirmed.
The enemy general nodded, after all, except for the Jin Kingdom, which had relatively advanced shipbuilding technology, several other small coastal countries could not build such a large warship at all.
"Hmph, the Jin army warship is sneaky, and it doesn't fly the flag, there must be a ghost, let's rush over to see what is going on." The enemy general frowned and said.
When the junior colonel heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "General, the Jin Army Sailor has always been strong, but I'm afraid that we may not be opponents!" It's safer to retreat. ”
The junior colonel is right, judging from the strength of the two sides, the number of warships is almost the same, but the Great Jin warships have giant warships like the Qilin, and the patrol warships of the Zhao Guoshui Division are all medium-sized warships, and the strength is naturally stronger than the Dajin.
The enemy general smiled and reprimanded loudly: "Although the Jin Army's Sailor is strong, my Great Zhao Sailor is not muddy, this is the territory of my Great Zhao Kingdom, and the Jin Army doesn't even dare to hang the flag, which shows that its heart is weak and timid, and it is in vain." ”
Seeing that his boss was determined to ask for a battle, the little colonel had no choice but to clench his fists and say: "General, it is better to send a clipper back to the camp immediately and report the situation here to the main general, as soon as the main general's reinforcements arrive, the Jin army will be completely annihilated." ”
"Okay, good idea." The enemy general was overjoyed in his heart and shouted loudly: "Order, the whole army immediately prepares for battle, and the last warship of the rear army immediately returns to the camp and tells the main general of the Jin army to sneak attack from the sea." ”
"Yes, General." Several subordinates clenched their fists and took orders.
Suddenly, the enemy warships adjusted their formation and prepared for battle, and the dark clouds before a big battle shrouded this calm sea.
Han Yong, who was standing on the terrace of the Qilin, kept his eyes on the movements of the Zhao State's warships all the time, and adjusted his deployment according to the enemy's formation.
Under Han Yong's repeated requests, the main officials of the mission, under the leadership of Chu Li, retreated from the terrace and entered the cabin to avoid being hit by the giant crossbows fired by the enemy, but Hua An insisted on staying on the terrace with his own bravery.
"General Hua, it's dangerous here, it's safer to go back to the cabin." Han Yong asked again.
Hua An smiled indifferently, waved his hand and said: "It's too stuffy in the cabin, it's relatively refreshing here, besides, Ben General would like to see how the Han battalion master commanded the naval army to defeat the enemy army." ”
"Since this is the case, Han is not reluctant, then General Hua will take a good look at how Han defeated the enemy army." Han Yong saw that Hua An insisted on staying on the terrace, and said confidently.
Hua An smiled slightly, and looked up at the oncoming enemy fleet.
The distance between the enemy and us is getting closer and closer, and Han Yong has also clearly seen the formation of the opponent's fleet and the configuration of the force of the warships, and he already has a spectrum in his heart on how to defeat the enemy army.
"The order, the Qilin battalion is facing the enemy head-on, and the left and right flanks are outflanked." Han Yong shouted.
Hearing the order, the soldiers on the terrace hurriedly gave orders in the language of the flag, and suddenly, the six warships of the Qilin battalion lined up in a line and attacked horizontally, while the remaining twenty-four medium-sized warships were divided into left and right wings, and detoured back to the flank of the enemy fleet from the east and west directions.
The six warships on the front, the Kirin in the center, three on the left and two on the right, turned the rudder to the right at the same time after the enemy ships entered the range of the giant crossbow and thunderbolt, and used the powerful weapons on the side to face the oncoming enemy troops.
"Battalion master, the enemy warship has entered the range of my thunderbolt, whether to attack." A soldier shouted.
"It's too far, wait." Han Yong breathed a sigh of relief, because the distance was too far, the shooting accuracy of the thunderbolt would have been poor, and at such a long distance, most of the thunderbolts and boulders projected would fall directly into the water, and less than one in ten could hit the enemy ships.
The enemy warships are also equipped with thunderbolts and crossbows, but because of the small hull, the size of the thunderbolts equipped on the ships is relatively small, and the range and power are naturally much worse than the thunderbolts of the Kirin.
"Battalion master, the enemy warship has already entered the range of my Kirin giant crossbow, whether to attack or not." The soldier in charge of observing the enemy situation reported again.
The corners of Han Yong's mouth twitched, and he roared loudly: "Order, attack on all fronts, and sink the enemy ships." ”
When the soldiers heard this, Lisuo operated the flag and ordered all the ships of the Kirin Battalion to attack immediately.
Suddenly, the six huge ships of the Qilin Battalion launched a fierce attack on the oncoming enemy warships, and thunderbolts, boulders, and giant crossbows rained down on the enemy warships.
"Boom, boom...... 呲呲呲......"
Thunderbolts exploded on enemy ships, boulders smashed holes in the decks of enemy ships, and giant crossbow arrows skewered enemy troops into sugar gourds.
The enemy warship was suddenly attacked, the soldiers on board suffered heavy losses, and the sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves came from the enemy ships.
The enemy general in charge of the command was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the range of the Jin warship's thunderbolt and giant crossbow was so far, and before the Jin warship entered the range of his own warship, the warship under his command had been beaten by the Jin army.
"General, what to do, let's withdraw!" Xiao Xiao covered his injured arm and said loudly.
The enemy generals were a little panicked in their hearts, and if they retreated in such a miserable defeat, they must be punished, and besides, the Jin army's warships fought from afar, and the close combat may not be very strong.
"Order, all the warships will attack forward and attack the largest warship of the Jin army with all their might." The enemy general shouted.
His truthful calculation was that the commander of the Jin army must be on the largest Qilin, as long as he sank or controlled the Qilin, the Jin army's naval division would lose its leadership and would definitely collapse without a fight.
"General, no! The left and right flanks of the Jin army have already made a detour to the rear of our army, and if we attack forward with all our strength, we will soon be surrounded by the Jin army's naval division. "Xiao Xiao is in a hurry.
The corner of the enemy's general smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he shouted: "What are you afraid of, this is the territory of my Great Zhao Kingdom, and the reinforcements of the big battalion will come soon, and it will be the Jin army that will be surrounded by that time, haha!" Attack with all your might. ”
Suddenly, nearly thirty warships of the enemy army, ignoring the left and right flanks of the Great Jin Dynasty, with scars all their might, sailed towards the Qilin.
On the terrace of the Qilin, Hua An watched the tragic battle between the two armies calmly, and saw that the enemy army was beaten by the Great Jin Sailor and cried his father and mother, and there was an indescribable refreshment in his heart, and at the same time, he was also full of admiration for Han Yong and the soldiers of the Qilin Battalion.
"Master Han, as soon as the Qilin Battalion makes a move, Zhao Guoshui will only be beaten, haha, amazing!" Hua An patted Han Yong's shoulder and praised loudly.
