Maru Du Governor Zhou Chen "Small" Dong Pan "Xu" Zhu Zhouling

On the surface of the river, a nine-pole flag fluttered in the general battleship group of the Jiangdong Navy, which was naturally the general flag of the Jiangdong general who went out to fight this time.

After Gan Ning on the other side saw it, he was a little surprised and said, "Zhou Yu? And so many generals? ”

Why did you have such a large Jiangdong naval army here? This has to be said here. As the so-called heroes see, they see something the same. Zhang Xiu's side, Pang Tong suggested that Zhang Xiu send troops to attack the mouth of the water and destroy the warships and water villages in Jiangdong at once. However, Zhou Yu on the other side also saw that the water war was the key to this battle, so he came up with the same strategy. Let the Jiangdong Navy go to attack Zhang Xiujun's water village.

The two armies met each other, and the sneak attack battle that the two had originally envisioned turned into an encounter. However, in terms of troops, the Jiangdong Navy has a clear advantage.

In addition to setting up a plan for the naval army to attack Zhang Xiushui Village, Zhou Yu also used the plan of concealing the sky and crossing the sea, so that Sun Jian pretended to mobilize troops, but in fact, the army had already been out. Therefore, in addition to the naval army under Sun Ce in Jiangbei, the main force of the naval army under the jurisdiction of Sun Jian of Moling also came.

Among them, Zhou Yu led Chen Wu, Dong Xi, Sun Shao, and Ling Cao to lead more than 80 warships under Sun Ce's command. Pan Zhang, Xu Sheng, Zhu Ma, and Zhou Tai commanded more than 40 warships under Sun Jian's command.

Don't look at the difference between the battleships and the half, the combat power of the two naval armies can be said to be equal. On the one hand, the Jiangdong Navy was not like Zhang Xiu, and it was completely fighting with all the side warships, and then met the enemy through formation. In addition to the micro warships that are the main offensive of the Jiangdong Navy, there are also two large warships: fighting ships and building ships.

There are quite a few large warships, but the most common one is the broadside. The main reason for this is that the ship is fast, the defense is strong, and it is extremely flexible in fighting on the river. Therefore, it can be said that this is the most standing warship in naval warfare.

At this time, it has to be said that Jiangdong's shipbuilding technology is advanced. The ships are warships that have appeared for a long time, so the remaining two can be said to be known by the Jiangdong side. One of them is a fighting ship about the size of a normal boat, which is more defensive than a sailing ship, and has a female wall on the side of the ship for defense. In this way, the whole fighting ship is like a small moving city.

However, although the defense is strengthened, the degree of the fighting ship is naturally far inferior to that of the ship. In addition to the fighting ships, the Jiangdong side also built a first-floor warship that was much larger than the one level of the sailing side and the fighting ship. In front of the building ship, a battleship such as Hangjing is not qualified to be called a large ship at all, but can only be called a medium-sized ship.

The building boat can only be described in two words. That is, the upper floors of the "high" and "large" building ships can reach four to five floors, which can accommodate a large number of soldiers, and a five-story building ship can accommodate 3,000 soldiers, which can withstand ten ordinary ships and warships, which shows the size of the building ship.

At this time, on the river, as far as the big ships are concerned, there are already more than 200 large ships, and there are even more small boats such as Goke, and the two sides are combined, and there are at least more than 1,000 warships. Water warfare of this magnitude can be said to be unprecedented.

Gan Ning's side had the help of clairvoyance to advance a lot of the current enemy army, so he formed a battle formation to meet the enemy earlier than the Jiangdong naval army.

At this time, Gan Ning had already seen the big ship on the Jiangdong side clearly through clairvoyance. After seeing it, he muttered: "Sure enough, it was expected by the master." The building boat appeared! ”

A deputy general of the Jinfan Battalion next to him asked puzzledly: "Boss, what is this ship?" ”

Gan Ning heard this, handed the clairvoyant to the lieutenant general, and said, "Look ahead, the tallest enemy ship is the Lou ship!" ”

The lieutenant looked ahead through clairvoyance, and when he saw it, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth and said in a trembling voice: "Damn! What kind of ship is this, so big? Our new warships are taller than ordinary microships, and their ships are even greater. It's horrible! ”

Gan Ning heard this, and said with a smile: "Don't panic, the appearance of this building ship has long been expected." At the beginning, he discussed the construction of a new warship with the lord and Mr. Deheng. The lord once asked me whether the battleship was important in terms of degree or whether it was important to have strong offensive and defensive power. At first, I thought that attack and defense were important, but in fact, the degree side is the key to victory! ”

The lieutenant general heard this and said in surprise: "Du? ”

Gan Ning nodded and smiled: "Not bad." Although the battleships of Koto are large. But at the expense of degree. And our warships have been improved to increase their attack and defense power a lot, and the degree has also increased a lot. Today, let's defeat the Jiangdong Navy to prove that the water war is still important! ”

After finishing speaking, Gan Ning shouted: "Lookout, immediately report the coordinates of the enemy's ship." Serial ship formation, thunder fire bomb covered fire preparation for shooting, target enemy building ship

Gan Ning's order was given, and the handsome flag on the flagship couldn't help shaking, and he gave orders to the five serial ships in front. Soon. Each of the chain ships had already lit up red, and it was some lightning bombs that had been ignited.

Gan Ning looked at the Jiangdong Navy who was getting closer and closer in front of him, and was hurriedly forming a formation at this time, and smiled coldly. Ning said: "Thunder bomb, shoot!" ”

"Whew

The next moment. A series of shrill whistling sounds rang out. On the flagship, Gan Ning and the others clearly saw each giant chain of ships. Nine red dots flew out. These red dots pierced the dark night sky like meteors, and smashed towards the Jiangdong Navy group opposite!

After all, the building ship is a large ship, and it is not easy to build, so with Jiangdong's ability, it is only three planes. Two of them are four-story ships and one is a five-story ship. Since the target of the order issued by Gan Ning was the building ship of the Jiangdong Navy Army, now a total of forty-five thunder and fire bombs were directly heading towards the two four-story building ships on the left and right sides of the Jiangdong Army!

"Boom!! Rumble Heart..."

Like a meteor, the thunder bombs that crashed into the Jiangdong battleship group hit the two four-story ships. One of the ones on the right may have missed the more than 20 thunder bombs that hit it due to the wrong distance reported by Gan Ning's lookout hand, hitting the fighting ship and the range next to it.

The one on the left was not so lucky, only to see a thunderbolt glowing red from the sky. It was smashed right through the middle of the four-story ship!

With a loud bang, the thunder bomb directly slammed through the wooden planks of more than two floors of the ship. And where the thunder bomb passed, the flames it carried ignited the wooden deck of the ship.

This thunderbolt is just a signal to attack. The next moment, more than ten thunder bombs followed, smashing into the tall building of the building ship from the side!

"Boom, boom

A series of roars sounded, "Shinamaru's ship downstairs was smashed by more than ten thunder bombs. The flames of thunder caused more than ten fires to ignite on the building ship at once. The soldiers on the ship's tower were overwhelmed by the thunderbolts, and they became extremely panicked at this time.

Dong Xian, who was commanding on the ship, was extremely surprised at this time, and said in a lost voice: "What did the enemy ship shoot?" Not only can it break through the thick slabs of the ship, but also bring flames? ”

This thunder fire bomb can be said to be another Ming who has passed through this era, and it looks a little weird, but in fact, it is nothing. The idea of the thunder bomb is naturally Zhang Xiu's strange thing, in fact, it is on the outer layer of the stone bomb, wrapped in a thick layer of linen coat soaked in fire oil. Hemp is relatively tough. It is not easy to extinguish when burned, and such a layer of linen is wrapped on top of the stone bullet, and this layer of linen is set on fire once the battle is fought. In this way, when the stone is ejected, it can carry the flames. As the stone projectile hit the target, it brought a thunderous roar. Hence the name Thunder Fire Bomb.

The Jiangdong Army suddenly encountered a thunder bomb, and naturally there was a panic mood, and it was night at this time, and many soldiers could not see that this thunder bomb was fired by Gan Ning. When he saw the thunder and fire bombs falling from the sky, he thought it was the anger of the heavens and wanted to destroy them, so he was even more panicked.

At this time, on the deck at the bottom of the ship, Xiao Dong Xi shouted with a knife: "Don't panic! Don't panic! Quick, fetch water to put out the fire! ”

Dong Xi's command was indeed able to stabilize some of the Jiangdong soldiers' love pigs, but the fire began to ignite from the upper floor, the fourth and third floors of the ship, which made Dong Xi feel a sense of powerlessness.

The soldiers brought water up from the river with the strength of their arms. At most, water is poured on the second floor, and for the third and fourth floors, the water is not splashed at all. Therefore, the only way to extinguish the fire is to carry water from the inside of the shipbuilding to put out the fire.

It's just that the degree of the spread of the flames is many times faster than the degree of the Jiangdong soldiers fighting the fire. In particular, almost all of the materials used to make the building are wood, and although there are many facilities for setting fires, once the flames spread to other areas, those facilities that allow fires alone are useless.

After only a few moments, the third and fourth floors of the entire building were completely reduced to a sea of fire, and the fire began to spread to the second floor. Dong Xi looked at the strong firelight, which lit up the night sky, but the expression on his face was extremely annoyed. Exclaimed, "Damn, what the hell is it!" ”

It can be said that Dong Xi's question is the question of all the generals in Jiangdong now. On top of the five-story ship, Zhou Yu saw a four-story ship next to him on fire. His face changed drastically, and he muttered, "It's a trebuchet?" After finishing speaking, he hurriedly said: "Quick! The fighting ship immediately rushed to the enemy formation, and the trebuchet on the Yu boat returned fire, and immediately rushed to the enemy formation after the stone bullets were exhausted, entangled with the enemy, and the building ship also advanced! ”

Zhou Yu was Zhou Yu after all, and at a glance, he probably guessed that these thunder bombs were fired by trebuchets. Installing trebuchets on top of the battleship not only thought of Zhang Xiu, but also thought of Jiangdong. Koto's warships were basically equipped with small trebuchets. And because the fighting ship itself has a female wall, it is already relatively heavy, so it is not suitable to install trebuchets, and this is especially true for the building ship.

Zhou Yu immediately ordered Jiang Qi's sail-like battleship to counterattack, and for a while, dozens of ship-like rudders on the Jiangdong side immediately fired back at Zhang Xiu's sailors on the opposite side!

"Whew

Dozens of stone projectiles flew out, and the stone projectiles pierced the air with a strong whistling sound, and smashed directly towards the five giant chain ship formations in front!

"Boom, boom...... Bang bang..."

As soon as the Jiangdong side fired back, the stone projectiles flew down, and a series of chaotic sounds immediately sounded. Many places on the chain of ships were smashed into large holes by stone bullets falling from the sky.

It's just that the trebuchet on the side of the Jiangdong Army is small, and both the range and accuracy are far inferior to Zhang Xiujun's side. In addition, the Jiangdong Army was shooting indiscriminately on one side, which seemed to be a random cannon, so that the night sky illuminated by the firelight was full of stone bullets, which was full of might. It's just that after the bombardment is down, most of the stone bullets are not enough in range and accuracy. Falling into the water in front of and next to the chain of ships, it made a large splash. A few stone projectiles smashed into the chain of ships, smashing through and smashing the decks and ships of several of the ordinary warships.

However, these attacks are not much different from itching to the chain of ships that have been united. Even if there were some stone bullets, they were lucky enough to hit through the deck. The bottom of the ship was also broken, but the watertight chamber design would not allow a large number of ships that were hit to sink in the water.

For the Jiangdong Army to also counterattack with trebuchets, Gan Ning also showed a somewhat surprised look on his face. However, adding trebuchets to battleships is not too fanciful. With Zhou Yu's wisdom and understanding of the navy, it can naturally be done.

Seeing the Jiangdong Navy quickly counterattacking, Gan Ning couldn't help but praise: "It is worthy of Jiangdong Zhoulang, whether it is strategizing or commanding, he is the top in the world!" After praising it, Gan Ning clenched his fist. said excitedly: "But when it comes to commanding in battle, how can I, Gan Xingba, lose to you!" ”

At this moment, the soldier of the Jinfan Battalion, who was in charge of the Shuai Qi, said loudly: "Boss, the five serial ships all said that the second wave of thunder bombs is ready!" ”

Gan Ning heard it and shouted loudly: "The target is still the enemy's building ship, shoot!" ”

"Huhuhuhu"

Shortly after Ganning's order was given, forty-five thunderfire shells again dragged their long red tails. Pierced the night sky and hit the only two remaining building ships of the Jiangdong Navy respectively!

Xu Sheng stood on top of another four-story ship with a knife, and his face changed when he saw the thunder bomb striking again. At the same time, his eyes stared at the trajectory of the thunder bomb in mid-air, and then shouted urgently: "Zuo Mantuo, avoid!" Fast!! ”

Xu Sheng gave an order, and the soldiers in charge of the Tuo did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately beat the boat to the left. The four-story ship in succession also reacted immediately. I only heard a "bang", and the sound of water sounded, but it was the sound of this four-story ship cutting through the river under the rapid turn.

"Huhuhu...... Rumble...... Poof..."

Xu Sheng's order came in an extremely timely manner, and under the swift rotation of the ship, he narrowly let go of most of the thunder bombs that attacked. Let these lightning bombs fall on nearby warships and on the water. Only a few thunderbolts hit the ship and ignited the fire.

Although it is to avoid the way, but the building ship is extremely tall, and the rash turn is to make the building ship turn outward a little, I am afraid that one, accidentally the whole ship will capsize and fall!
