Chapter 62: The Fighting Ships Attack

If this development continues, it will only take another three or four hours for all the militia in the territory to be consumed, and the rest of the regular soldiers will be killed or wounded at least half, and when the time comes, it will be easy to break through the camp if the enemy charges again.

However, fortunately, the enemy's 5 frontmost building ships began to sink slowly under dozens of waves of catapults and ballistas, and those building ships will not be refreshed immediately in a short period of time after sinking, and because they are too tall and too big, it is also indirectly equivalent to helping the civilians block the river, which hinders the advance of the building ships behind, and it is necessary to bypass these sunken building ships.

Guo Jia discovered the benefits of sinking the enemy's building ship, and immediately ordered all the catapults and ballistas that could be attacked to attack the building ship, and the fierce archers could also throw rockets at the building ships that were set on fire, speeding up their sinking, as long as they could be guaranteed to sink them and not let them get close to the camp, even if the entire building ship was burned.

In this way, as one after another building ships were sunk by the defenders' concentrated fire, and there were more and more places for the building ships to be avoided behind, at first there were 5 building ships and a number of fighting ships on the river side by side, but now even 4 ships passed at the same time It will be relatively slow. At the beginning, of the 5 ships in the first wave, the last one that was eliminated held out until it was only 200 meters away from the camp was sunk, and the second batch of 5 ships was only sunk within 100 meters when the friendly forces in front attracted a lot of firepower for them.

And after the sinking of these 10 building boats, this river channel is already very troublesome for building boats: these ordinary building boats are nearly 100 meters long and 30 meters wide, and 10 such building boats are messily distributed under the water, and such a river can only run side by side with 4 building boats at most. However, although the number of building ships was reduced, the Yellow Turban Army sent more fighting ships to join the attack and replace the position of the building ships.

And due to the decrease in the number of building ships in the first row of the enemy, the pressure on the catapults and ballistas was suddenly reduced by one point, and the four building ships in the third wave only advanced to a distance of 100 meters.

Then the fourth and fifth waves of the enemy sent 4 building ships each, and none of these building ships broke through to the range of 100 meters. At this time, 22 building ships had sunk under the water, and only 3 were allowed to pass side by side, so the Yellow Turban Army continued to use a large number of fighting ships to replace the building ships to join the attack.

At this stage of the battle, the building ships can no longer pose a threat to the defenders, and the role they can play now is to attract the opponent's firepower, and the main attack force of the Yellow Turban Army has become various types of fighting ships.

These fighting ships are 20-40 meters long, 5-10 meters wide, and can accommodate soldiers between 50-250 people, they are indeed a big gap compared to the building ship, but at least at this stage of the game, it is more than enough to be the main battleship, there are already many fighting ships that break through the rain of arrows and crash into the water village, and after knocking off a large part of the durability of the water village, they let the soldiers above take the ladder to attack the water village, so the Yellow Turban Army broke through the opponent's long-range suppression again, and pulled the defender into the hand-to-hand encounter, The rhythm of the battle that consumes each other.

Although I know the purpose of the Yellow Turban Army, but even Guo Jia has no better way, these building ships must be eliminated first, just now the fighting ship hit the water village, it will make the water village lose a large part of its durability, and the soldiers above are stunned, if you let the building boat come to such a point, it is estimated that the water village will be knocked down all of a sudden!

An hour later, the fierce battle continued, and by this time at least a hundred building boats had sunk in the river, and they could no longer be allowed to pass.

And this time, the Yellow Turban Army seemed to be iron-hearted, and in the absence of building ships to attract firepower, they continued to frantically send a large number of fighting ships to participate in the attack, and only sent a small number of Meng Chong and Walking Boats to assist.

And their madness also achieved obvious results, the defenders were caught off guard at the beginning, allowing many fighting ships to arrive in front of the camp, and the Yellow Turban Army on the fighting ships and the ships next to them set up ladders on them to attack desperately upward.

Soon, the defender's catapults and ballistas also reacted and shifted the target to the fighting ship, in fact, the fighting ship's bearing capacity is much smaller than that of the building ship, even the largest one can not withstand dozens of attacks, and the smaller ones are smashed a dozen times or even several times before they have to sink. And those fighting ships that had arrived at the bottom of the camp and were in close contact with the camp were also sunk one by one in the rocks that the defending soldiers kept falling.

Of course, at this time, there were already many Yellow Turban troops who climbed up the camp with the ladder and began to fight hand-to-hand with the defenders, and because most of the defenders are now newly assembled militiamen, they can still be competent when shooting arrows or smashing stones, but they suffer a lot when they are in hand-to-hand combat, but fortunately, there are more than 3,000 melee Daming Water Division soldiers on the camp to guard, and there is no big problem except for the casualties of the militia for a while.

After another hour, the casualties of the defending militia had exceeded 10,000, and the durability of the water village in many sections was reduced to one-fifth of the cordon.

Of course, the casualties of the Yellow Turbans were greater, and without the building ships to help them attract firepower, those fighting ships all became targets for catapults and ballistas, and their huge hulls made it easy for boulders and heavy arrows to hit them, but they did not have the same protection as the building ships, so after the catapults and ballistas were in full swing, there were very few fighting ships that could break through the blockade.

And after an hour of fighting, at least hundreds or even thousands of fighting ships have been sunk, Guo Jia keenly found that in some places where there were once building ships sinking, even the passage of fighting ships was blocked, this discovery made him very excited, this means that as long as he persists, the enemy's fighting ships will soon be like those building ships, the passage will be blocked, and if you want to attack the water village only by Meng Chong and walking, it is wishful thinking!

However, if you want to block the channel by sinking the ship, it is still very difficult, because you have to sink at least two more ships to block the channel in the places where the ships have been sunk, and in those places where there are no ships to sink, at least nearly 10 ships must be sunk to obstruct the navigation.

However, since the fighting ships are basically sunk in this area between 150 and 450 meters, the river in this area is actually very shallow, and it is believed that it will not be long before it will be completely blocked.
