Chapter 586: Cripple Yuan's Water Army!
Unfortunately, there was no trace of the enemy at this time, and they had obviously been gone for a long time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Damn! Or let them run! Gan Ning slapped the wooden window of the command room with some annoyance, under Gan Ning's huge force, the wooden window could not bear it, and all of a sudden sawdust flew.
The soldiers of the White Feather Army also lowered their heads in frustration, they went through a lot of hardships and finally came here, but in the end it was such a result, how could people not feel pity and frustration?
"It's okay!" Gan Ning quickly figured it out. "Even if we didn't catch their commander, but we scuttled and burned their flagship, it was still a great achievement, and it could also greatly damage the morale of the enemy!"
Gan Ning and his White Feather Army set fire to the enemy's flagship, and the fire burned from the inside of the flagship, and the flames were soaring, because there were not many enemy troops in the flagship at this time, and the other enemy ships around them could not catch up for a while, so no one could stop Gan Ning from setting fire to them.
"Let's go." Seeing that the enemy's flagship had been completely immersed in billowing smoke and fire, Gan Ning nodded with satisfaction, led his subordinates to find a ship, and quickly withdrew.
Soon, the enemy's massive three-story ship turned into a huge fireball and fell apart in the fire.
Seeing this, the surrounding enemy ships did not dare to approach, such a huge fire was impossible to extinguish, and if they rushed forward, they might even set their own ships on fire.
The burning of the enemy's flagship was obviously an extremely powerful blow to the morale of the enemy, and the enemy's warships weakened a lot at once. However, although the enemy fell into chaos for a short time, it did not fall into a state of chaos and disorder as expected by the waves, and the enemy's warships were still resisting and attacking in an orderly manner, and many situations showed that the enemy's senior generals were still in strong command of the fleet.
"What's going on?" It's a little strange in the waves, hasn't the enemy's flagship been burned by Gan Ning? Shouldn't Gan Ning clean up their command structure by the way?
"General Gan Ning, they're back!" A naval staff officer was sharp-eyed and said.
Soon, Gan Ning came to the front of Baitiao in the waves with a group of tired but still murderous eyes in his eyes.
"It's all my carelessness! accidentally let the commander of the opponent's navy slip away. When the battle is over, I will be punished by the Lord. Gan Ning said with some reproach.
Langli Baitiao waved his hand and said, "Everyone is good!" Although the enemy army was lucky, they survived. But their flagship was burned, and already their morale plummeted. We now occupy the right place at the right time, and the enemy army is not far from defeat! Order all ships and launch an onslaught! Defeat them completely! ”
The alliance navy and the Yuan army fought fiercely for a day, until it was dark, both sides were very tired, but because the fleets of the two sides had been completely glued together, they could not evacuate at all, so both sides could only grit their teeth and hold on. Now it's up to us to see who can't bear it first, and I'm relieved.
In the darkness of the night, unable to see people, the soldiers of the alliance and the soldiers of the Yuan army rushed to kill with torches held high. The archers were also identifying the enemy by the light of the fire, killing them with their bows and arrows.
It's just that the ballista and catapult are really out of service for the time being. In such a dark night and melee, these high-powered weapons do not have eyes, and it is not good to accidentally injure your own soldiers.
The two sides fought until dawn the next day, and as soon as the mist in the early morning had just lifted, the enemy fleet finally couldn't support it a little and began to retreat upstream!
"Catch up! Don't let them run! Seeing this, Gan Ning was very excited and hurriedly ordered the troops to pursue.
However, Langli Baitiao stretched out his hand to stop him, and said to the herald: "Don't pursue, all the warships stop at once, clean the battlefield, and stand by in place." ”
Gan Ning asked very puzzled: "Now is the best time to destroy the enemy army in one fell swoop, why don't you take the opportunity to completely eliminate them in one go?!" I don't understand. ”
Langli Baitiao patiently explained: "Elimination is definitely to destroy them." But now is not the right time. When I came, the little white boss told me that after defeating them, keep them for a while, and we will use them in the future. ”
Langli Baitiao's explanation made Gan Ning even more confused. Take advantage of the enemy's water army? How to use it?
However, since he heard that it was the lord's order, Gan Ning didn't ask any more.
The allied navy began to clean up the battlefield on the river, and soon a report on the battle was sent to the general command of the navy.
In this battle, the alliance naval forces lost a total of more than 300 warships, of which the small and medium-sized Hazy Chong and Walker warships were the mainstay, and the number of enemy warships lost was, roughly estimated, at least more than 500 ships, and the main force of the enemy's fleet had basically lost all of them after this battle, and only a part of the remnants escaped.
In terms of personnel losses, the number of losses of the coalition naval forces was somewhat higher, while the losses of the enemy fleet were much less. But it's normal. Although the enemy's sailor soldiers are far inferior in number to their own soldiers, 80% of the Yuan army's sailor soldiers are NPC soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is naturally far greater than that of the alliance navy with the player as the main force, and the alliance sailor soldiers can inflict more than half of the casualties on the enemy's NPC soldiers, which is already very powerful.
The battlefield, where the smoke had just subsided, was now full of wreckage of warships and a large number of corpses lying across the river. In just one day, at least more than 100,000 people died in these waters. But under the boiling water of the Yangtze River, these more than 100,000 people were just a flash in the pan, and did not bring any changes to this river, and were soon swept to the bottom of the river and the lower reaches of the river by the surge, and disappeared and never disappeared again.
At this time, the nascent sun on the east side of the river bank has just risen from the sky, with infinite vitality and sunshine shining on the river waters, the sparkling sunlight shines on the river surface that is stirred by the breeze, blinking, just like the reflection of the glass appearance of the towering buildings on the streets of Beijing.
"Scout!" Langli Baitiao shouted, and a scout ran up to him and answered, "General." What's the matter? ”
Langli Baitiao said: "You immediately go back to the alliance and tell the little white boss that we have succeeded here, and the enemy's naval army has completely lost its threat to us!" The enemy's fleet will not appear on the waters and rivers of our alliance either! ”
