Chapter 554: Fight!
The warships of the Wei army and the warships of Zhou Tai's main formation were scuffled, and the river was even more noisy than before.
The naval armies of the two sides fired at each other with bows and crossbows at a very close distance, and soldiers from both sides were constantly planted in the river, and some warships collided with each other's warships violently, and then the sailors of both sides shouted and brandished their weapons and jumped onto each other's warships to fight with the opponent's sailors in hand-to-hand combat
Blood was constantly spilled out, the splints of the warships on both sides were dyed mottled with blood, the whole river was like boiling water, the soldiers of the two sides who fell into the water were still fighting as long as they still had a breath, the burning warships slowly fell to one side, some had completely turned on their sides, most of them were immersed in the water, and the air was filled with hot air and all kinds of burnt smells.
Gan Ning's ship shuttled from the warships of both sides of the melee and rushed straight towards Zhou Tai's ship, Gan Ning stood on the bow of the ship according to the water-dividing broadsword, and the tiger's eyes were full of fierce fighting spirit, at this moment, Zhou Tai also noticed him, and Zhou Tai's ship also came head-on.
The warships of both sides met on a noisy and chaotic battlefield.
A rain of arrows tilted towards each other, and the warships of both sides slammed into each other, and then the sailors of both sides hooked each other's side with hooks, and each jumped onto the other's warship with a shout.
Soldiers from both sides scuffled over the sides of their ships.
The soldiers on both sides shouted and attacked each other, one by one howling at the top of their throats, their eyes blood-red.
Gan Ning jumped onto Zhou Tai's ship with a water-splitting broadsword, and roared into the opponent's soldiers, and in a blink of an eye, several Wu soldiers were in different places.
Gan Ning continued to rush forward with his sword, and met a general, who was defeated after a few moves. Abandon his weapon and hurriedly flee.
Gan Ning took a step forward. Leaping violently, the water-splitting broadsword slashed down from mid-air. Seeing that this general is about to become a revenant under the sword. Suddenly, a Scar General in black hard leather armor came out from one side and roared, while the big knife in his hand swept towards Gan Ning's waist.
Gan Ning was shocked, and hurriedly put down the general, his body changed in mid-air, and at the same time, the water splitting knife in his hand slashed towards the opponent's blade.
There was a loud "sonorous" sound, and the two sides landed, each retreating a few steps, holding a big knife and looking at each other.
"Zhou Tai. Today, your grandfather Gan will definitely take your head! Gan Ning said excitedly.
Zhou Tai sneered, shook the big knife in his hand, and sneered: "I don't know who took whose head today!" ”
Gan Ning snorted, put the water dividing knife on his shoulder and slowly walked towards Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai couldn't help frowning when he saw this.
When Gan Ning came three steps in front of Zhou Tai, he suddenly stared at the tiger, roared, and the water-splitting broadsword was raised high above the top and slashed out. If you are like thunder, you can crack the mountains and collapse, which is amazing!
Zhou Tai was taken aback and hurriedly raised his knife to parry. The two broadswords slammed violently in mid-air, and the sonorous sound was amazing.
Zhou Tai only felt an astonishing huge force pass through the opponent's blade, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. Retreat straight to the side of the boat and slam your left heel on the side of the boat. Pieces of wood flew in all directions.
Zhou Tai carried the big knife horizontally with the strength of his hands and shoulders, while Gan Ning held the knife with both hands and pressed downward. The two broadswords were tightly latched together, making a clicking and grinding sound.
Suddenly, Zhou Tai shouted, and the whole person slammed forward, Gan Ning showed surprise on his face, took a step back, and Zhou Tai took the opportunity to slash out.
Gan Ning staggered and got out of the way, and attacked again.
The two fought on the side of the ship, and the sword light was brilliant and the momentum was amazing.
After fifty moves, there is no winner or loser.
At this moment, Zhou Tai's fleet has been divided into two parts and is struggling to support, while the main force of the Wu State Naval Division is fighting fiercely with the Wei army's blocking fleet on the upstream river, although it has the upper hand, it is simply unable to break through the Wei army's naval division in a short period of time.
Gan Ning continued to fight with Zhou Tai, and suddenly a flame rose from the stern of Zhou Tai's ship, and almost at the same time, a flame also rose from the bow of Gan Ning's ship.
It turned out that the sailors of both sides lit a fire on each other's boats.
The fire spread rapidly, and in a short period of time, the two buildings that were tens of meters long were almost surrounded by flames.
Soldiers from both sides jumped into the river, while Gan Ning and Zhou Tai continued to fight on the deck surrounded by fire.
Suddenly, a mast slammed into the two men, and the two men who were fighting were taken aback, and took a few steps back, and almost at the same time, the burning mast was smashed between the two, and then the hull let out a mournful roar and fell to one side.
Gan Ning and Zhou Tai didn't care about the battle anymore, and jumped out of the flaming battleship and fell into the river.
At this moment, all the generals who were watching the battle on the riverside fortress couldn't help but watch the battle on the river nervously, and Cao Cao couldn't help but worry about Gan Ning's safety, if something happened to Gan Ning, this would be a heavy blow to the Wei State Naval Division that had just risen!
Fortunately, Gan Ning's life was very hard, and he and Zhou Tai who fell into the water were quickly picked up by their respective subordinates.
Zhou Tai, who was picked up by his subordinates, immediately ordered the warships under him to break through in the direction of the main force, while Gan Ning strictly ordered the ships to step up their attacks.
Although the overall level of the Wei army's navy is stronger than that of Wu's navy in terms of hardware, it is obvious that this era is different from the era when giant ships and cannons were rampant in later generations!
At this time, the final victory of the water war was not seen in hardware, but in software, that is, in terms of soldiers, and in this aspect, Wei was obviously inferior to Wu, although each ship did its best to storm the other party, but Zhou Tai still led the remnants of the fleet to break out of the encirclement.
At this moment, there were less than two hundred of Zhou Tai's warships left.
"Order Gan Ning to chase me!" Cao Cao yelled at the herald.
"Wait!" Xu Shu hurriedly stopped the herald who was about to go to the herald, and arched his hand at Cao Cao: "Your Majesty! It's no longer possible! If we continue to fight, it will be harmful to our army! ”
The generals watched Cao Cao, waiting for his decision.
Cao Cao frowned, and then said to the herald: "Mingjin collects the troops!" ”
The herald answered and ran down.
The sound of the golden bell hanging at the highest point of the water village rang out suddenly.
The blocking fleet, which was fighting fiercely with the main force of Wu's naval division, immediately fought and retreated in the direction of Shuizhai, while at the same time, Gan Ning led the fleet up the Shuojiang River to meet the blocking fleet.
Wu Guoshui pursued downstream, but only pursued for more than 100 steps before turning around and heading towards his own water village.
The Wei army successfully retreated into the water village, and Cao Cao led a group of generals to the port.
Gan Ning, who was wet and rippling, got off the boat, hurriedly came to Cao Cao, and hugged his fists with a ashamed face: "Your Majesty, the last general will be humiliated!" Please Your Majesty deal with it according to military law! ”
Cao Cao picked up Gan Ning, saw some aquatic plants hanging on his shoulders, and naturally cleaned them up, Gan Ning couldn't help but be moved when he saw this. (To be continued......)
