Chapter 490: The Decisive Battle of Guandu (5)

Gan Ning glanced coldly at the battleship where Zang Ba was, and muttered disdainfully: "Is this also worthy of being called a naval army?" It's a rabble! Immediately, Gan Ning slashed the Optimus Twin Halberds in his hand fiercely, turned his head and shouted to the Qilin elites under his command: "Brothers, let's use our actions to tell the enemy what the real water army is!" โ€

Tens of thousands of Qilin elites immediately raised the horse chopping knives in their hands, and let out a short roar in unison, as if they were challenging the Wei army.

Zheng Zheng Zheng -

In the next instant, led by Gan Ning's Qilin battleship, all the warships of the Qilin Navy above the rank of the ship, equipped with red-clothed ballistas, opened fire at the same time, and hundreds of red-clothed ballistas emitted a dense clanging sound, and nearly 10,000 crossbows roared out of the cannon tips and shot towards the Wei army under the command of Zang Ba.

Zang Ba's naval army is more than a thousand steps away from Ganning's Qilin naval army, such a distance should be a safe distance on the surface of the Yellow River, but in front of the advanced weapon of the red-clothed ballista, a thousand steps is obviously not enough to ensure the safety of Zang Ba and others. For the first time since its inception, the redcoat ballista has shown its important role as an ultra-long-range weapon in such a large-scale water battle.

Looking at the powerful crossbows that shot from the sky, Zang Ba felt extremely shocked in his heart. The name of the red-clothed ballista, Zang Ba has heard of it many times, but it is the first time he has seen it with his own eyes. As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, when he witnessed the power of the red-clothed ballista at a distance of a thousand steps, he really realized how terrible the red-clothed ballista was.

"Raise your shield! Raise your shield! Spread out the formation, don't get together! Reduced stress area! Zang Ba shouted hoarsely, trying to use his shouts to reduce some casualties for his subordinates. Zang Ba has no other way now, no more on the water than on land, and the flexibility of the warship is definitely much worse than that of the warhorse. It is absolutely impossible to dodge all the red-clothed crossbows, so Zang Ba's shouts are extremely weak. In fact, what Zang Ba didn't know was that when everyone faced the red-clothed ballista for the first time, they would almost follow the conventional method of dodging arrows to command the troops, raising shields to protect themselves while evacuating the formation, but under the intensive ultra-long-range shooting of the red-clothed crossbows, the results that this method could receive were close to zero. This is already something that countless people have verified with their lives and blood.

Crackle - Pop Pop -

Nearly 10,000 crossbows fell in the air, with huge inertia, each red-clothed crossbow had a strong impact, fiercely impacting the warship of the Wei army, the Wei army standing on the warship was limited by the area of the warship's deck, and it was impossible to carry out a wide range of tossing and turning, and could only try their best to dodge the shot crossbow in a limited space, but no matter how much they dodged, the area of the deck was only so large. Nearly one-third of the warships in the forefront of the Wei army's water array were all included in the sky full of red-clothed crossbows, and it was not easy to survive in the cracks of tens of thousands of crossbows?

Thereupon. On the warships at the forefront of the Wei army's water array, all kinds of sounds were endless. The sound of the crossbow piercing the body, the sound of the ship's hull being destroyed, the screams of the Wei army, the popping of soldiers who lost their balance and fell into the Yellow River after being hit, and the gurgling sound of the water of the Yellow River pouring into the warship along the hole pierced by the crossbow...... A wide variety of voices converge. On the surface of the Yellow River, a requiem sounded like a hell on earth.

The Qilin Water Army received a remarkable record in a round of crossbow shooting. The Wei army's water army was under this round of fierce shooting. Thousands of people were hit and plunged into the Yellow River along the sides of the ship, becoming the ghosts of the river. There are also many warships because they are not solid enough, and they were directly destroyed by the red-clothed crossbow, resulting in a large number of Wei soldiers falling into the water, among which there are some unlucky Wei soldiers who had a hope of escaping, but unfortunately their fate was not good, and they were hit by the mast or other heavy objects that broke off from their own hull, and they were swallowed by the roaring waves of the Yellow River without breathing. Or he was hit in the head and fell directly into a coma, and along with the mast, he fell to the bottom of the river in a straight line.

Gan Ning saw that the red-clothed ballista could play such a huge role in a large-scale water battle, and his eyes suddenly shot out with excitement, and he waved his arms and shouted: "Continuously activate the red-clothed ballista!" Until our army comes closer! โ€

Tens of thousands of Qilin sailors let out a shout in unison, and then according to Gan Ning's order, the Qilin elite who was responsible for loading the crossbow completed the loading as quickly as possible, and then quickly changed positions, giving up the operation of the red-clothed ballista to the comrades behind him; The Qilin elites, who had already been engrossed in guarding behind, immediately took two steps forward, and after a slight adjustment, launched a second air attack.

At the same time that the first round of crossbows caused damage to the Wei army's naval army, the Northern Han team, which was equipped with a foot pedal treading water advance machine, had already driven a distance of nearly 100 steps on the river, so when they launched the second round of artillery bombardment, the range of the red-clothed crossbow was shortened a lot, and it was already possible to carry out long-range strikes against Zang Ba's Chinese army.

Seeing that nearly 10,000 crossbows were coming through the air, Zang Ba couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart, and a trace of bitterness appeared on his face. In the case that the warship, the quality of the soldiers, and the long-range weapons are not as good as the opponent, it is difficult for Zang Ba to defeat the Qilin Water Army. What's more, Zang Ba is not a "smart woman" in the field of water warfare.

However, Zang Ba soon had no time to think about these questions, because the red-clothed crossbow had already come to the top of his head, and if he didn't dodge again, he would become a live target. The cat took two steps forward, Zang Ba dodged a javelin-shaped crossbow, and then slashed to the side with the knife in his hand, knocking away another crossbow, and then he kicked his right leg the deck, driving his body to the left side, rolling twice on the spot, avoiding the third crossbow that shot at him. After dodging three crossbows in succession, the dense group of crossbows was also nearing the end, and when Zang Ba stood up and glanced around him, the bitterness on his face became even stronger. Because Zang Ba found that within his sight, none of the dozens of warships under his command were intact, even the giant warships under his feet had become full of holes, and water was seeping everywhere, and it was believed that it would not be long before it would become a broken shipwreck.

That's not all, under the second round of crossbow shooting, the entire naval battle array has almost been destroyed. The front army and the middle army have been defeated, and there is no formation to speak of, only the rear army still maintains a battle formation for the time being, as long as the Qilin water army has another round of shooting, the rear army will definitely be difficult to preserve. In addition to the damage of the warship, the personnel damage was also very heavy, the Chinese army and the front army totaled 15,000 people, most of these people were shot by the crossbow in red clothes, and only a small half fell into the water of the Yellow River, and this small half of them were among them. Half of them were hit by the fallen mast and lost their ability to swim and died at the bottom of the river, and the Wei soldiers who are now swimming back are roughly estimated to be less than 3,000. The death of a large number of Wei soldiers has dyed the surface of the Yellow River red, like the grape wine produced in the Western Regions.

Zang Ba sighed helplessly, then threw away his weapon and jumped into the Yellow River. He knew that if he didn't leave the broken warship now, when the warship sank, it would bring an irresistible whirlpool, and he would not be able to leave if he wanted to leave at that time. After jumping into the water. A stream of river water, filled with the rich smell of blood and mixed with a large amount of yellow sand, poured into Zang Ba's mouth, making the bitterness and helplessness in his heart even stronger.

I saw Zang Ba abandon the boat and jump into the water. Gan Ning stood on the Qilin battleship and let out a hearty laugh. Being able to push the opposing general to this level without much effort, this battle is simply too enjoyable.

After laughing, Gan Ning put away his smile. The expression on his face changed to a decisive and violent one: "Speed up!" Rush over, knock over the wreckage of the enemy army, and gouge through their rear army with a slapstick! โ€

Under Gan Ning's order, the Qilin Navy was led by the Qilin battleship, and all the giant building ships and warships were lined up together, forming the most proficient charging arrow formation in land warfare, increasing the speed to the limit, with a strong impact, with the top of the rushing installed on the bow of the ship, and slammed into the Wei warship that was slowly sinking.

The warships piloted by the Qilin Navy are all designed by Ao Lie based on the warships of later generations, and they have outstanding abilities in resisting attacks and resisting whirlpools. Therefore, Gan Ning was not afraid that the collision would cause any damage to his subordinate ships, and launched a strong attack on the Wei army in the most savage and direct way.

The already shattered warship of the Wei army let out an overwhelmed moan under the collision of the warship piloted by the Qilin Navy, and then it was completely shattered by the collision, turning into piles of rotten wood floating on the water.

Rushing through the dilapidated battleship group of the Wei army, Gan Ning's Qilin battleship was the first to come to the water array of the Wei army's rear army. With a bloodthirsty fierce light in his eyes, Gan Ning yelled at the soldiers who had already prepared: "Smash them!" โ€

The elite of the unicorn guarding the lever immediately untied the cow tendon on the lever, and the iron power wood lever suspended in the air, after losing the control of the cow tendon, fell from a high altitude with a roar, just like the tower crane that was common on the construction site in later generations, suddenly lost control, and fell rapidly towards the water with an amazing momentum.

The twelve poles fell fiercely in all directions, and the people on the Wei warship looked at the rapidly falling poles in horror, and they didn't even have the strength to move their legs to dodge, and the courage had completely disappeared from their bodies, like the collapsed poles of the heavenly pillars, depriving them of all their courage.

Boom, boom, boom

Under the heavy impact of the slap rod, the six Wei warships around the Qilin battleship were smashed at the same time, and the wooden hull immediately collapsed.

Zang Ba, who had just swam back to the vicinity, was swept into the air by the waves set off by the impact of the residual force of the rack, and his figure was clearly seen by Tai Shici who was standing on the giant building ship, Tai Shici immediately drew his bow and arrow, and shot a fatal arrow at Zang Ba, who had nowhere to borrow his strength in the air.

Poofโ€•โ€•

Tai Shici's sharp arrow accurately hit Zang Ba's heart, making Zang Ba, a famous general who has been powerful in Qingzhou for nearly 20 years in history, become another wisp of soul buried in the Yellow River. (To be continued......)
