Chapter 580: Go to War!

The water on the surface of Poyang Lake gradually waves, and from time to time a few unknown birds pass through the sky, carrying the reflection on the water surface away together. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

At this time, it is already afternoon, but the sun in the sky is still blazing, and the water is hot from time to time, the weather in the south is like this, when it is cold, it can make people freeze into dogs, but maybe the next day it can be hot and make people crazy.

The Alliance sailors traveled up the river to this body of water, and stopped at the orders of Baitiao and Gan Ning in the waves.

"There's an enemy fleet ahead!" A soldier looking out from the ship's mast shouted.

Langli Baitiao and Gan Ning looked into the distance at the same time, and sure enough, they saw a large fleet driving on the river road in the distance.

It's just that from the side of the alliance navy, the situation of the opposing fleet at this time is indeed quite embarrassing.

Because of the orders of Baitiao and Gan Ning, many boulders and iron chains were temporarily set up on the entire Yangtze River, and the opposing fleet was cautiously passing through the dense iron chains at this time.

"The exact number and strength of the enemy fleet is not yet known." Gan Ning ordered: "The reconnaissance boat will arrive at once and bring back the enemy's intelligence." ā€

Dozens of scout boats stepped forward and began to investigate.

In a short time, the enemy's intelligence was delivered to Langli Baitiao and Gan Ning.

"The enemy fleet has a total of more than 800 warships, including hundreds of fighting ships, dozens of Hazy Rush warships, and five building ships. However, the enemy does not know why, it seems that many warships have been damaged to a certain extent, and some warships have almost lost their combat effectiveness and mobility. Therefore, the actual combat effectiveness of the other side at this time is lower than we estimated. ā€

"Good." Langli Baitiao clapped his hands and laughed: "More than 800 warships, it seems that this time Yuan Benchu took out all his naval warships and the capital at the bottom of the box!" ā€

"Exactly." Gan Ning also smiled: "We just took this opportunity to annihilate all the enemy's warships in one fell swoop!" It's all in one battle! It is also a province to run with them on this vast river. ā€

"Command!" Langli Baitiao said to his heralds: "All the warships immediately set up their positions at Poyang Lake and the crossing of the Yangtze River, ready to meet the enemy fleet!" ā€

Under the instructions of the flagship herald and the standard-bearer, the alliance sailors spread out on the vast water surface of Poyang Lake, and thousands of warships lined up neatly, almost covering most of this water.

"The enemy fleet has spotted us and is slowly approaching us." The adjutant beside Langli Baitiao said with some excitement, no matter who encounters such a huge water battle for the first time, I believe that my heart will not be calm.

"It's the right place. Their current location at the inlet of the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake is very narrow and fast-flowing, and there is even a high probability that there will be swirling water conditions. The situation on the battlefield is in our favor. Order, all warships and troops, immediately ready for battle at the first level, ready to attack the enemy at any time! ā€

Langli Baitiao was commanding, and Gan Ning suddenly stepped forward and said: "There are no combat missions on this flagship, and all the command work of the fleet has been arranged. I ask to lead the vanguard fleet of the navy to meet the vanguard of the enemy fleet. ā€

Langli Baitiao glanced at Gan Ning, Gan Ning's eyes were already full of desire to fight at this time, and at this time, the command work on the flagship was indeed taken care of by himself. Langli Baitiao said happily: "Well, I have long heard that the general is a fierce general on this water, but I rarely see the general's bravery."

The first battle of this water war, if our army can win, it will greatly stimulate the morale of our army! General Gan, you go, for my navy, get this first feat! ā€

"Thank you, General!" As soon as Gan Ning clasped his hands, after saluting, he left the flagship with his weapon.

At this time, the enemy's naval army was also moving towards its own side, and it seemed that it had already reached the entrance of Poyang Lake, and the distance between it and its own fleet was less than two miles.

"Array!" A tense atmosphere rose over all the ships of the fleet, and the soldiers on the ships filled their bows and crossbows and aimed in the direction of the enemy fleet in advance. The infantry soldiers, who had no long-range weapons, raised their shields and shielded the archers from possible enemy attacks.

The heavy ballista and catapult on the Hazy Rush and the fighting ships also began to operate, loaded with elixir, and began to prepare for launch.

"Whoa." After all the preparations were ready, the battle was just around the corner, and the battlefield fell into a dead silence, everyone watched the enemy fleet vigilantly, and the only sound in the air was the sound of the waves stirred up by the sailors paddling.

"Finally found them!" The commander of the Yuan Army's navy saw the Xiaobai Alliance flag hanging high on the flagship of the alliance's navy from a distance, and said with a happy face: "They are really asking for their own death!" ā€

"Lord Commander, something seems wrong." The deputy commander of the Yuan Army's navy said in horror: "Isn't the enemy's navy a small fleet that is not well known? How can there be so many large warships, fighting ships, hazy chong, and building ships, and the number of them is far more than ours! Look at their ship, it seems to be a five-story ship, which is a lot bigger than our flagship! ā€

The commander of the Yuan Army's navy was surprised to find that the navy of the Xiaobai Alliance really had such a big momentum, and even far surpassed himself in terms of the number and quality of the navy warships. Such a large fleet I had never heard of before.

"There are indeed quite a lot of enemy warships." The commander of the Yuan army said: "But you also know that this navy is not just about whose warship is tall or how many people are, the most important thing is the person who operates the warship. ā€

"That's what the commander said. The battle on the water is very different from the battle on land. As long as we manipulate it properly, we can defeat the strong with the weak. Although the deputy commander of the Yuan army is still a little worried, the current situation is that the back road of his own fleet has been blocked here by the other party, and since there is no way to retreat, he can only fight with the other party.

"Get ready to attack the enemy first!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The distance between the two armies is getting closer and closer, a kilometer distance, a mile distance, three hundred meters.......
