Chapter 266: The Myth Is Shattered

Under the blow of the fierce firepower of the Shu army, the frontal forces of the Eastern Wu army faced a situation of collapse. However, there are still a small number of ships with various explosives like hailstones, and they are difficult to approach the front row of the ships of the Shu army, and they really have to admire the bravery and fighting will of the Eastern Wu naval army.

However, no matter how brave and tenacious they were, it was useless, and before they could prepare to jump into the gang fight, countless thunderbolts flew like raindrops. These thunderbolts are not thrown by medium-sized "Angry Birds", but by human hands, and the two sides are already so close, where do you need to use any slingshots, as long as you don't have enough food for three days, normal people can throw them directly with their hands.

The thunder rumbled on these Soochow warships close to the Shu ships, and clouds of fireworks rose from the decks, iron pieces shot out, sawdust flew sideways, screams and shouts repeatedly, and blood flowed into the cabin into a stream.

In this case, the deck was like being ploughed over, and where there were still people who could stand, all the Soochow soldiers fell to the ground like wheat from a typhoon. However, the Shu army was not without casualties, and there was still a steady stream of Eastern Wu soldiers rushing out of the cabin of the Eastern Wu ships, these people were holding bows and crossbows, and they shot arrows as soon as they came out.

Caught off guard, several Shu soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and the Shu army that reacted was of course not polite, and continued to throw thunderbolts on the opposite ship, and soon blew up these Dongwu sailors who had just run out into minced meat. After suffering this loss, the Shu army did not dare to slack off, and they also sent a few people to pull the rope and swing over like Tarzan of the apes and jump onto the ship of Soochow.

The Shu soldiers who jumped on the ship of Soochow were not in a hurry to fight hand-to-hand, but first threw a few thunderbolts into the cabin, cooked the people inside, and then held a bow and crossbow to guard the exit of the cabin, and waited for the rabbit. If anyone else comes out, they will shoot them in an instant.

If no one came out for a long time, they would wait for the smoke to clear from the cabin, and then go in and slowly clean up the remnants of the Soochow soldiers in the cabin. Now they have enough time, and they don't need to rush to end the war, because after all, there are very few Soochow ships that can rush to the front, and most of the ships are either sunk or disabled, or the sailors inside are killed and unable to move.

Originally, the Eastern Wu warships had an absolute numerical advantage, but now the shape has been reversed, and there are more warships that can still fight in Shu. At this time, the Shu warships also began to charge, and they spread out their formation and inserted themselves into the gap between the Eastern Wu fleet.

This time it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and it was a group of tigers. The Shu warships no longer fired a salvo, but looked for the nearby ships of Soochow that were still resisting to strike. Because they were closer to these Soochow ships, they hardly needed Angry Birds, and in many cases they threw thunderbolts directly by hand.

As soon as they get close to a certain Dongwu ship that still has people for more than ten meters, the soldiers on the Shu ship will throw several to dozens of thunderbolts according to the size of the local ship.

After a big ~ wave of thunderbolts flew over, usually the Soochow ships were dumb on the spot. If it's a small boat, you can finish the work at this time. If it is a medium or large ship, it is likely that there are still some Soochow sailors hidden in the cabin, so it is necessary to lean over the ship and let ten or eight soldiers armed with crossbow arrows and thunderbolts around them jump over.

With them, it was only a matter of time before the entire ship was contained. And this Shu ship did not need to wait for their results here, but quickly sailed away to find another target. This process takes a short time, often only a few minutes, and it can take down ten or eight soldiers to get a Soochow ship.

And this tactic has the advantage of ignoring the comparison of the size of the ships of the two sides. In general water warfare, the size of the ship is very important, the big ship can often sink the small ship lightly, the big ship is loaded with many people, the strength of the many people, and when jumping in hand-to-hand combat, the natural big ship also has an advantage.

But the Shu army doesn't fight with you at all, but uses thunderbolts, so no matter how big your ship is, even if the Shu army is just a ship with only ten people, as long as it is close, one person throws a thunderbolt over, and you can clear out a large ~ deck, as long as you throw it a few more times, even if it is a building ship, they can handle it.

Under such an offensive, the Eastern Wu army relied on the pitiful firepower of the bow and arrow to resist the Shu army at all, not to mention, they had long been frightened by the previous bombardment, and there were panicked routs everywhere, and there was very little resistance that could be organized, and the Eastern Wu naval army was completely reduced to a lamb to be slaughtered.

The situation on the left and right battlefields is similar, the difference is that the Shu army on these two sides has less mines, but each has one more super warship. More than 40 shells flew into the sky in one round of the super battleship, which also looked quite terrifying.

The Soochow Navy has been fighting and dealing with these two super warships for a long time, and they have long known their terrible things, but now that they are facing them, their morale has gone by three points first. When the two fleets approached and the other ships of the Shu army began to launch various types of "Angry Birds", the morale of the Eastern Wu army completely dropped to the freezing point.

A super battleship can bomb them to the ground, and now there are countless such warships, how can this battle be fought? They misunderstood the ships that launched the "Angry Birds", thinking that they were the same as the super battleships, they were all war monsters full of fire ~ cannons, and they didn't know that they were just copycats of parallel goods.

Their ignorance hastened their rout. This battle lasted for an hour, and with the battle of the warships just now, the whole battle lasted for three hours. In ancient warfare, especially water warfare, such a time was considered very fast.

Haven't you read the ancient wars described in those chapters and novels, and they fought all day long, from early morning to sunset? And usually there is no narrative of eating ~ and peeing in the middle, as if the ancient people were all iron men who could not eat, drink or sleep.

With the help of the powerful destructive power of firearms, the Shu army turned what should have been a protracted decisive battle between the two armies into a one-sided massacre with a quick victory. Due to the difficulty of casting, the output of fire ~ guns and fire ~ cannons was very small, and they were basically monopolized by Liu Hou's Hong army, but Guan Gong was not affected by Liu Hou's inherent thinking, and used the fire ~ medicine with a large output to win the battle.

The significance of this battle was heavy, and the Shu army won more with less, breaking the myth of the invincibility of the Eastern Wu naval army. Especially after the burning of Chibi, the Dongwu naval army is invincible, and the Dongwu from the court to the people generally believe that the Dongwu naval army is invincible, as long as there is a naval army, the Eastern Wu can be invincible.

As long as there is a naval army, coupled with the natural danger of the Yangtze River and the vastness of Yunmengze, Dongwu is not afraid of being annihilated. Therefore, over the years, Soochow has also focused on the construction of the army. After so many years of vigorous development, the Soochow Navy is almost twice as strong as during the Battle of Chibi, and there are 2,000 ships in the country, which makes Soochow more confident.

With the strength of the original naval army, Cao Cao claimed that the 800,000 army could not help the Eastern Wu, and now the Eastern Wu naval army is so powerful, who should he be afraid of?

However, this war completely shattered the dream of the Eastern Wu people, Sima Yi transferred half of the Eastern Wu naval army with a single strategy, and Guan Gong only used one-third of the men and ships to completely destroy the remaining main force of the Eastern Wu naval army. From then on, the Great Wall of the Eastern Wu Navy would no longer exist, and the last madness of the Eastern Wu people made them abandon their last reliance.
