"The Yellow Turbans? How could there be a fleet of the Yellow Turban Army in the lower reaches of the Yellow River? ”

It stands to reason that it is now the time for the imperial court camp to counterattack, and the Yellow Turban Army is unable to take care of the Yellow River Valley, and the Yellow Turban Army is too poor, there are not many decent warships, and it is an unwise choice to fight the navy with the imperial court camp. m.

"My lord, the number of Yellow Turban fleets encountered ahead is huge, it is estimated that there are at least hundreds of thousands of people and thousands of ships. However, most of their ships were small warships, with many ships and few sailing ships, and there were less than twenty ships of the rank of three-masted sailing ships and above, and about 100 one-masted galleons combined. The herald informed Lu Shuang of the information coming from the front.

"Since it is the fleet of the Yellow Turban Army and meets us on the Yellow River, then only one fleet can pass through the Yellow River. Pass on our orders and crush the enemy forces in front. "Lu Shuang doesn't plan to let go of the task of a Yellow Turban Army, not to mention that on the Yellow River, one side goes downstream, and the other side goes upstream, and it is inevitable to meet, at this time, either you die or I live.

Lu Shuang led the army north to have four major legions, but in fact, there was a fifth legion, that is, the navy of Iron Sail City. However, the recent naval tasks have been heavy, Lu Shuang has transferred half of the soldiers and warships of one of the naval legions, although there is no king-level military commander in charge, but the experience of several lieutenant generals is no worse than that of the legion commander, just because there is not enough king-level mastery for them to be promoted to king-level generals. In Feitian City, archery and swimming are compulsory courses for all soldiers, although the four legions such as Shenxing are not naval legions, but the soldiers all know some water, and in the past few months, under the hand-in-hand teaching of the naval legionnaires, they have mastered the basic naval combat skills, and they are not landlubbers.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out, and the Ironsail City navy lined up to meet the enemy, and the catapults and ballistas on the deck were aimed at the ships ahead. After all, the Yellow Turban Army is too poorly armed, most of these ships and sailboats are produced after they occupy a dock, and the talents used are more provided by the players of the local Yellow Turban camp, and there are almost no senior NPC technicians who understand shipbuilding technology, and it is no wonder that there are some combed and scattered warships as far as the eye can see.

On the other hand, on the side of Feitian City, they are already cruisers with rockets and artillery, and the Yellow Turban Army is a small speedboat, so it is strange that there is a chance of victory on such a wide Yellow River.

As soon as the two sides entered the range of medium-sized catapults or ballistas, the crossbow arrows of the four-masted galleons and the building ships roared, and the crossbow arrows covered with a layer of raw cowhide were shot through by the crossbow arrows, although they did not sink the warships such as the warships, but for the Yellow Turban Army hiding inside, it was very demoralizing, and luck could almost be shot by the crossbow arrows. Especially when the basin-sized stone was smashed from the air, the damage to the slightly inferior quality of the battleship was very great, and the battleship that was not hit head-on was also unstable due to the impact caused by the falling stones. There are only two possibilities for the Yellow Turban Army who fell into the water, one is to be rescued by the passing robe, and the other is to be run over by the warship behind or drown.

The river is very wide, and the ships are separated by several meters, which is less dense than the formation of troops on land, and the hit rate of war weapons is generally extremely impressive. However, the Flying City's controls were skilled, and most of the stones that could be picked up everywhere were shot, and the Yellow Turban Fleet began to suffer a lot of casualties in the forwards.

There are not only large warships on the Flying Sky City side, but also flexible and convenient ships for short-handed combat, and the soldiers of the Iron Sail City Navy and several other legions use the flexible ships to engage the Yellow Turban Army who are about to collide.

Lu Shuang had previously purchased an ultimate naval barracks for the Iron Sail City Navy, and at that time, the soldiers trained by the naval barracks could greatly improve the soldiers' affinity for water, their ability to fight on the water, their flexibility in manipulating ships, and the accuracy of long-range weapons. The affinity for water, the manipulation of ships and the improvement of the accuracy of long-range weapons are all well understood, and Lu Shuang is not very good at understanding the ability to combat on the water, what aspects of the ability to combat on the water can be improved?

It wasn't until he personally watched a water battle, and there were other army regiments as a control group, that Lu Shuang realized that when fighting on the water, the navy would be more flexible and stable than the soldiers of the army. In other words, when fighting between ships, the navy often comes and goes freely, and the sway caused by wind and waves on the ships has little impact on them, and they make full use of the small space to maneuver around the enemy. The soldiers of the army, at most, can only exert seventy or eighty percent of their strength on the deck of the ship, and if the ship they are in is hit by other ships, it is easy to lose their balance and even fall overboard.

Soldiers do have different strengths due to different ranks, but when they go to the battlefield, they are actually the same, whoever can kill whom, who is the stronger one, even a king-level military general may die in a battle. The eighth-order soldiers of the Flying Sky City Army are not as good as the seventh-order navy in terms of combat ability on the water, which is enough to prove the irreplaceability of the navy. In contrast, the Yellow Turban Army, which had not undergone systematic training, was extremely weak, and three or four seventh-order navy jumped onto one of the Yellow Turban Army's warships and easily eliminated more than twenty fourth- and fifth-order Yellow Turban Army. In skirmishes, the advantage of the soldier's rank will be well highlighted.

The one-sided slaughter below, the soldiers above the sailing ship or the building boat, with the advantage of altitude and range, frantically killed or strafed the Yellow Turban Army that followed after them, not all the warships were shipped, some warships did not have any cover, and the Yellow Turban Army could not block the arrows fired by just a wooden plank. Even if you hide in the ship's cabin, you will slow down your ship because of the battle ahead, and you will be targeted by catapults or ballistas.

In less than a quarter of an hour of the short battle, the advance of the Yellow Turban fleet was broken through by the Flying City Legion, and the formation composed of the building ship as the center, the sailing ship as the flank, and the escort of the warship rushed straight towards the middle of the Yellow Turban fleet, that is, in the direction of the largest four-masted galleon. At this time, the operators of each building ship constantly fine-tuned the accuracy of the ballista, and the ballista loaded in the third floor of the building ship was not only in a closed space, but the outer wall was also paved with iron or raw cowhide, and the fire attack or siege weapons were not easy to affect the ballista riders on the third floor.

Comparatively speaking, the head of the ballista is much larger than that of the catapult, and the designers of Flying City placed the ballista on the third floor of the ship, and the height of the ship and the height of the third floor on the deck can greatly increase the range of the ballista and the vision of the operator. Moreover, the blacksmiths specially made crossbow arrows that must be used to pierce armor, which were specially used to deal with the warships of the enemy's fleet commanders, which could be effective from afar.

"My lord, according to the news that the scouts on the shore have just come back, some boats from the Yellow Turban Army have begun to approach the south bank of the Yellow River, intending to forcibly cross the river, looking at the number of boats, maybe the number of people is around 100,000." Lu Shuang, who was watching the battle from God's perspective, suddenly received another important piece of information.

"Landing at this time, isn't it going to abandon all the people on the river?" Lu Shuang thought about it, felt that this matter was a little strange, and ordered: "While the enemy has not yet landed, we will attack it halfway, and we will not send a boat over to fight the grass and scare the snakes, after all, that side is the position of the Yellow Turban Army." Ziyi, Wen Xiang, you follow the Holy Knight Legion of Captain Cheng to catch that cunning mouse for me. ”

"Yes, Lord (General)."

Tai Shi Ci and Xu Sheng took the order to set off, and they were both a little moved by the Holy Knight Legion who was going to fight side by side in the future. You must know that in Feitian City, there are only three legions composed of all eighth-order soldiers in theory, namely Wang Yue's Shenxing Legion, Cheng Hui's Paladin Legion, and Lu Shuang's Danyang Qingbing. The last one cannot be regarded as a legion strictly speaking, it is just Lu Shuang's short army and pro-guard army, and it is not used for large-scale operations.

Compared with the Holy Knight Legion, the personnel of the Shenxing Legion is larger, 40,000 eighth-order soldiers, and the Holy Knight Legion is still only 15,000 people due to the limitation of war horses, but the cost of one heavy cavalry is the most expensive, and an eighth-order heavy cavalry is almost the top two eighth-order infantry. But the expensive cost has the advantage of being expensive, that is, it has many advantages such as strong mobility and strong combat ability, especially Tai Shici, who is skilled in archers and horses, in the military cooperation before joining Feitian City, he can lead such an army to fight everywhere in the future.

The men and horses of the Holy Knight Legion are all placed behind the fleet, and the time and cost of cultivating a soldier who knows equestrian skills is too high, Lu Shuang doesn't want to send people from the Holy Knight Legion to help when he is in a water war, and there is no need, just have the help of the three legions of Shenxing, Linghu and Countercurrent. Therefore, without the Yellow Turban Army noticing, they landed on the shore unknowingly, and quickly formed a formation.

Although Cheng Hui's personal strength was not as good as Tai Shici's, he was still good at commanding the heavy cavalry to fight, and quickly assembled the Holy Cavalry Legion and rushed towards the southwest.

On the other side, a Yellow Turban general looked at the Yellow Turban Army that was landing one after another, and his face was indescribably gloomy. After Puyang was defeated by Huangfu Song, with the help of the player's ship, he went down the river and prepared to go to Cangting to continue to resist the conquest of the imperial army, but he didn't expect to encounter a ridiculously powerful fleet on the way, and if he continued to fight like this, I am afraid that the remaining main force of the Yellow Turban will also be buried in the belly of the fish. The Yellow Turban generals had no choice but to abandon their guards and take the last 80,000 7th and 5,58th Yellow Turban elites ashore, which was not far from Cangting, another base camp of the Yellow Turban Army, and could be reached on foot for a day or two.

It's just that without these hundreds of thousands of regular troops, the life of the Yellow Turban camp in Dongjun will be difficult in the future, and we will see how many we can go.

"Don't let me know whose fleet it is, when General Tiangong takes over the world, he will definitely make him pay." The Yellow Turban General looked at the Yellow Turban Army, which had landed halfway, and gritted his teeth.

At this time, a general who also exuded the momentum of a king-level military general hurriedly rode to his side, and said hurriedly: "Oh no, Bu Si, the spy reported, a heavy cavalry suddenly appeared in front, and when the spy came back to report, it was estimated that the cavalry was less than twenty miles away from us." ”

"MD, it must be the people of that fleet force, it seems that they don't want to let us go." Bu Si tried his best to suppress his anger and sneered: "All the eighth-order soldiers of our army have landed, and the seventh-order soldiers have also come up with 50,000, so they have not lost the strength to fight. Uncle Zhang, you will join me to meet this cavalry, and you must leave all of them behind, so as to relieve the hatred in our hearts and restore morale, just leave Zhong Ning in command here. ”

After speaking, Bu Si immediately took his personal guards over to order troops, although anger makes people lose their minds, but as a general, they also know some common sense, and they basically have no fun if they don't line up against cavalry.
