Water warfare is different from land warfare, and the requirements for time and place are very high. The main thing is the direction of the wind, and the geographical advantage is the current, and the experienced generals of the navy will certainly strive to seize the upstream and upwind direction in order to gain an advantage in mobility.

Therefore, in this chase battle, the fleeing side is at an all-round disadvantage from the very beginning.

At this moment, it has entered winter, the north wind is gradually strong, and after passing through Xiangyang, the water is showing a winding southward trend, and the ships traveling south can enjoy the double convenience of wind direction and water flow.

From this point of view, Gan Ning's fleet has an overall upper hand against the interception fleet, but the problem is that the interceptor fleet is not the main force of pursuit, and Zhang Yuncai, who chased and killed from Xiangyang.

As long as the interceptor fleet entangles Gan Ning for a little time and lets Zhang Yun catch up, the outcome is self-evident. Gan Ning's side is full of ships, but Zhang Yun's side is dominated by a few building ships, with more than 100 ships as the wings, and under the effect of many unfavorable conditions, this chase is likely to turn into a one-sided slaughter.

Because the side of the building ship is much higher than the water surface, and there are also defensive facilities such as horse walls and arrow stacks built around it, unless the opponent is also a building ship, there is no possibility of engaging in a broadside battle. The ship approached, but was either killed and wounded by the archers on the ship, or the ship was overturned.

The only reliance on the ship is the motor force, but the machine power is very dependent on the wind direction and water flow, so as long as the person who understands the water war, it is impossible to be optimistic about the Jinfan thief.

The luckiest solution, that is, a small number of ships broke through, and most of them were intercepted. This is also the only thing to be thankful for in the panic of Huang Jie. As the next head of the family, his identity is still a little special, so he, together with Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan, got on Gan Ning's flagship, the largest ship in the fleet.

Although Gan Ning doesn't look very reliable, he still has a fierce momentum, relying on this momentum, there should still be hope to break through a gap, at least let the flagship escape.

As for the clansmen in the back, Huang Zhu didn't take it to heart, those who became big things were not informal, and when Han Gaozu fled, didn't he kick his children off the carriage? As long as Qingshan stays, will there be at least a chance for revenge in the future?

Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan did not study the water war, but they also knew that the situation was not optimistic, but as the backbone of everyone, they could not make any moves to damage morale - the old and weak in the cabin were no longer morale, and the screams of terror and desperate cries were endless, but there was no movement on the deck, and the ship was gradually accelerating, and this group of seemingly unreliable sailors was still a little extraordinary.

"Stop the ship, stop the ship quickly!"

"Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will die!"

In the end, the hull is light, although the Ganning fleet started late, the speed is fast, and the sound of intimidation and shouting from the rear is gradually moving away, if it is not for the persuasion in front of the voice to gradually become louder, the panic in the hearts of the fugitives may be alleviated.

When the bowstring flicked, the sound of 'snorting' arrows breaking through the air sounded, the panic of the fleeing fleet reached the extreme, and swords and soldiers could be seen everywhere in the troubled times, but not everyone had the opportunity to experience it firsthand, not to mention these two families who were used to being pampered?

The noise was so loud that even the sound of orders between the fleets was suppressed, and for a while, the order of the fleets seemed a little chaotic. Although Pang Degong and the others knew that this was a rather serious problem, when it came to life and death, no matter how high his prestige was, it was impossible to suppress everyone's panic, and he was helpless for a while.

Zhang Yun saw it from afar, and his heart was even more proud, in the night battle, intimidating the enemy with arrows, disrupting the enemy's deployment, it was his original water warfare method, dealing with the water thieves and rogues on the rivers and lakes, it has always been invincible and unfavorable, today, this trick is obviously going to establish a miracle again.

At the moment of crisis, a loud shout suddenly came from the flagship, which was at the head of the fleet!

At first glance, it sounds like a shout, but with a little discrimination, you can find a certain rhythm contained in the shouting, a rough and simple rhyme......

"A boy is born in the ...... between heaven and earth" under the colorful brocade sails, the majestic figure stands like a mountain, and the desolate and heroic singing resounded through the night sky, echoing in all directions.

The next moment, ......the sailors of the fleet were in unison, confirming that they were singing, but the tune was too simple, and the tune was not audible at all, it was completely a feeling of pulling their necks and shouting.

The vulgar tune of "Lifting a knife to sweep away the injustices...... which is difficult to reach the hall of elegance is enough to make the water thieves happy, especially Gan Ning, who leads the singing, and his energetic singing voice completely overwhelms the noise around him.

"Race the gods at ease!" The crowd burst into harmony and burst into laughter.

"A boy is born in heaven and earth, he breaks through the sky with pride, the wind does not blow the waves, and he avoids it, and he only envies the hero and does not envy the immortal ......"

When the song sounded for the second time, the well-informed Pang Degong finally came back to his senses and remembered the origin of this tune.

In the junction of Jingzhou and Ba County, the terrain becomes extremely steep, the cliffs on both sides of the river, the beach and gorge in the river are intertwined, the water flow is turbulent, it is certainly thrilling to go down the river, and it is not possible to reach the sails and oars to go upstream, so the line of slender man came into being.

The song sung by the Jinfan thief, the words are probably made up by himself, which is quite smooth, but it is far from having any charm, and the tune is directly changed from the trumpet shouted by the slender man.

In normal times, even Pang Degong, who treats people without his identity, can't listen to this kind of rural village song, and Huang Shot, a son-in-law, has to be driven away, or cover his ears and leave.

But at this moment, for some reason, the rough singing came into their ears, and everyone was a little relieved, and gradually stopped crying, and the screams from time to time also stopped, and some people even followed the tune softly.

"Men are born in troubled times, and heroes are born in troubled times, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me." Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan glanced at each other, and they both sighed. It is not known what Gan Ning's skills are, but with this domineering spirit that tens of millions of people have been working on, even if he only has seven cost collars, he must be able to exert ten percent.

"Just a thief, dare to be arrogant? Shoot the arrows, release the arrows! "Songs that reassure the fugitives taste different when they hear them to the ears of the blockers. The general in command is also a veteran of the navy, and he has personally exterminated many water thieves, and he clearly feels that the enemy in front of him is very different from before.

The plain, almost unmelodied ballad was like some kind of charm, and after being sung by hundreds of water thieves, it had a kind of magic that captured people's hearts. This pressure was so overwhelming for him that he gave the order to attack in advance.

"Snort, snort, ......snort, snort, snort" The dense sound of breaking through the air became one, as if the entire surface of the river was covered. The main attack methods of water warfare are nothing more than three, long-range with bows and crossbows, and melee combat is broadside and arson, Jingzhou's naval army is elite, and it is also very well prepared, and it is not surprising that it has such a momentum.

"Take! Snatch! Snatch! As the sound of arrows entering the wood continued to sound, the first few ships shook violently, the ship was small, and the arrows were too dense, and this was the result.

"Poof! Burst! Burst! "Although it was a night battle and visibility was limited, the dense arrows did not only shoot at the boat, but also avoided people, and people were constantly hit by arrows, mixed with screams of pain and screams, and the sound of arrows breaking into the body was also endless.

The sudden outbreak of fierce fighting shook everyone, and the reason why the old and weak women and children did not break out into greater panic was because they were frightened and unable to make a sound, and more importantly, the desolate battle song was not only not overpowered, but became louder and louder.

But I don't know if it's an illusion or what, the Jinfan thief's side has never launched a counterattack, and the sound of the bowstring flicking is almost always heard in the distance ahead, and there are only one or two occasional sounds here, and if you don't listen carefully, you can hardly tell the difference.

"Gan Zhuangshi, they came from a reckless background, but I'm afraid it's ...... There aren't so many arrows! "Anyway, he is also the son of Jiangmen, and he personally led the army to fight, and Huang Shot's words broke the sky.

Only then did everyone react, isn't it, bows and arrows are very expensive, especially in big wars, thousands or tens of thousands of arrows are certainly majestic, but an arrow, to say the least, is dozens of dollars, where can ordinary people afford it?

How else to say that the biggest difference between the rabble and the regular army is actually in this equipment? One side has to live within its means, and the other side shoots openly, and it is not clear which is stronger and which is weaker?

The current Jinfan thief seems to be in the dilemma of being beaten and unable to fight back.

"It's not all, there are also people here who shoot the bow, just at the bow of the boat, every time the bowstring sounds, there are screams from the opposite side, it must be General Gan, right? In such a night, he can still hit every shot, this kind of martial arts, worthy of being a hero listed on the hussar list. ”

"No matter how many shots are made, can he alone shoot all the hundreds of sailors on the opposite side? Even if he has that ability, it's too late in time, I see, I'm afraid it's a fierce ...... this time."

As soon as a murderous word came out, the hull of the ship suddenly shook violently, and Huang Jian deliberately stood up straight in order to speak more imposingly, and he was caught off guard and directly changed into a rolling gourd.

At the same time, there was a loud bang.

"Bump...... Crashed the ship? Huang Zhu collapsed to the ground with his back facing the sky, a look of disbelief on his face. This is the only explanation, under the rain of arrows, the fleet of the Jinfan thieves did not slow down, nor did they counterattack on a large scale, so it was strange that they kept rushing over and did not collide.

Although there are no building ships on the side of the interception fleet, the ships on both sides are about the same size, and even if they collide, they will be half a catty and eight taels. If you stop fighting, the pursuers behind will soon catch up, and you won't be finished in the end?

Huang Jie's analysis was not unreasonable, but the evolution of the battle situation was far beyond his expectations.

He had just gotten up from the ground and was about to go out to watch the battle, but the ship suddenly shook again, and Huang Jie was caught off guard and lay down again. This time his face was still full of disbelief, but this time it was not horror, but an irrepressible look of ecstasy.

Last time, he was lying face down, and the boat suddenly changed from high speed to stagnation, and this time, he was lying on his back to the sky, and the boat was turned from static!

The two times were less than half a pillar of incense, and they reached a breakthrough so easily? What kind of tactics did this brocade thief use, and it turned out to be magical?
