More than 200 ships and more than 50,000 people drove towards the Cao Gang, and this kind of power of thousands of troops is still quite terrifying. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Sailing along the Han River basin, through the confluence of the Han River and the canal, more than 200 boats entered the canal and headed for the nest of the Cao Gang.

It is not the same as the Hanyang Gang controlling the Han River, the Hanyang Gang controls the Han River, but it only declares sovereignty on the Han River, which is not as good as the Cao Gang's management of the canal, and its power is simply all over the canal, everywhere.

I have to say that the Cao Gang is indeed very powerful, and the operation of the canal year after year has reached a very awesome level.

Therefore, as soon as the fleet of the Hanyang Gang entered the canal, the situation was immediately different, and Xia Nan immediately saw that there were many talents following from a distance, monitoring the fleet of the Hanyang Gang.

Others can only let them follow, and there is no way to monitor it, after all, the canal is the place of the Cao Gang, and it is basically impossible to kill from here, and it is basically impossible for the Cao Gang to be unaware.

Ignoring those watching, the Hanyang Gang's fleet headed towards the Cao Gang's lair, and along the way, it could be regarded as unimpeded, and no one stopped them.

In this unimpeded situation, they gradually approached the Cao Gang's stronghold near the canal, and finally, saw the Cao Gang's reaction.

In the case that he had known that the Hanyang Gang army was coming, the Cao Gang had not reacted, which was the biggest mistake, and Xia Nan had already known that something was wrong.

Although he knew that something was wrong, Xia Nan didn't mean to be suspicious, after all, no matter what, the battle is the most important thing, as long as he can fight, it doesn't matter what he does.

In this battle, Xia Nanshi must fight, if he doesn't fight this battle, he will definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart, so he must fight.

Fighting is to fight, but how to fight is a problem, you can't fight indiscriminately, you must fight in a dignified manner, this is Xia Nan's idea.

What the high-level leaders of the Cao Gang will think, Xia Nan doesn't know, but he doesn't care much, after all, what kind of conspiracy and tricks will be used in this battle, it really may not be implemented.

Ordinary intrigue and trickery are useless in the face of great strength, and if thousands of people fight, with a single conspiracy, they may be able to defeat the enemy and win.

However, when the scale of the battle reaches the level of 50,000 people, such a powerful scale of battle is simply not something that ordinary intrigue can do.

It is not so easy to decide a war with a strategy, although there are such situations in history, but there are definitely not many of them.

This way of defeating the enemy with a strategy, the most famous in history is the Battle of Chibi, the Sun-Liu coalition army is only one hundred or two hundred thousand, of which Liu Bei is a soy sauce player, but in the face of Cao Cao's 830,000 army can still win, nothing more than the role of a strategy.

The east wind blew and cooked oil with a blazing fire, burning Cao Cao's 830,000 army in an embarrassing mess, which is relatively rare after all.

The progress of the Battle of Chibi is not a general situation, it is not at all possible under ordinary circumstances, if it is not for the previous foreshadowing, if it is not for Cao Cao's too rigid self-use, even if Cao's army will fail, it will not be so easy to lose.

Even, the battle of Chibi can be won, and in the battle, it can be won, thanks to Zhuge Liang's ability to borrow the east wind, so it is not something that can be done in an idle situation at all.

Ordinary strategy, if you want to bury 50,000 troops, it is indeed not so easy to do, at least, Xia Nan does not think that among the Cao Gang, there can be such a master, there is such a good use of strategy, and tens of thousands of troops can be buried in one plan.

The real situation is similar to what Xia Nan guessed, the Cao Gang didn't think of any good schemes, before, the reason why there was no attack battle, and the reason why the Hanyang Gang did not stop the army of the Hanyang Gang, was that the Cao Gang was preparing for battle.

The Cao Gang is preparing for battle, mobilizing forces, and wants to concentrate all forces to fight with the Hanyang Gang and have a shocking battle.

The Cao Gang mobilized more troops than the Hanyang Gang, and the Cao Gang's hundreds of thousands of people, of which the proportion of light equipment is not necessarily higher than that of the Hanyang Gang, but the number of young and strong people is really quite a lot.

This time, the Cao Gang mobilized 80,000 troops, known as 100,000 people, and prepared 300 ships, of which the number of large ships accounted for more than half, and the rest were also some medium-sized ships, and the number of small boats was very small.

The Cao Gang is worthy of being a gang with a history of hundreds of years, and the history of the gang is almost as long as the existence of the Ming Kingdom, which is hundreds of years old.

Hundreds of years of history have made the foundation of the Hanyang Gang really strong to the extreme, and in this extremely strong situation, the power of the Cao Gang is really powerful, not only with a large number of people, but also with a large number of ships.

You must know that there are still relatively few big ships like this kind of thousands of water gangs, such as the Hanyang Gang and the Shark Gang, which are not weak gangs, but the thousands of big ships in the gang are only dozens.

The Hanyang Gang fought on the Han River for a year, and after a year of fighting, I don't know how many water gangs they defeated and how much loot they obtained, and the total number of big ships was only a little over 300.

And this time, the Cao Gang easily took out nearly two hundred ships of thousands of materials, and it can be seen that the Cao Gang's foundation is really too strong.

The Cao Gang is really no matter where it is, the background is very strong, that is called a strong to the extreme, it can easily mobilize many ships, can mobilize 80,000 people.

When the imperial court sends troops, when it wants to fight, it is not so easy to mobilize an army of 100,000, and the food, grass and ordnance that need to be prepared, I don't know how much time it will take, it is a troublesome matter.

And the Hanyang Gang and the Cao Gang sent troops, and they could easily mobilize 50,000 or 80,000 people, known as 100,000 troops, which was completely fine.

The battle between the two armies was fierce, just above the canal, the Hanyang Gang and the Cao Gang fought, at this time there was no artillery, the two armies fought, more on the boats, with rockets.

"Whoosh ......"

Only a sharp whistling sound was heard, which resounded in the sky above the canal, and thousands of sharp arrows shot out from the sky to cover the sky and the sun, forming a continuous momentum, shooting at each other.

The two sides went back and forth, firing at each other, and those rockets were smeared with fire oil, and when they hit the ship, they immediately caused raging flames.

The ships were built of wood, and when they were ignited by rockets, they erupted into raging fires, which were still relatively vigorous.

The ships of both sides, when they were separated by a certain distance, began to shoot at each other, and the sound of screams resounded above the canal, and people were constantly hit by arrows, falling off the boats and falling into the canal.

When the ships of the two sides collided together, when they attacked each other, and when the arrows were fired endlessly, at the beginning, the Hanyang Gang actually fell into the disadvantage.

After such a long time of preparation, the Cao Gang is indeed relatively well prepared, whether it is on the ship or in terms of numbers, it must surpass the Hanyang Gang.

The Hanyang Gang sent troops and killed on the canal, and the Cao Gang had already sent people to monitor, although Xia Nan also took some defensive measures, but it was still impossible to completely cover up and prevent the other party from seeing their own reality.

Therefore, through some of the information known by the monitors, it is still no problem to know how many ships and how many troops have been dispatched by the Hanyang Gang.

Looking at the Cao Gang's dispatch this time, it is obviously aimed at the Hanyang Gang's troops, with more than 300 ships, which happens to be 100 more than the Hanyang Gang, and 80,000 people are 30,000 more than the Hanyang Gang, all of which happen to suppress all aspects of the Hanyang Gang.

In addition, the foundation of the Cao Gang is indeed not weak, not only not weak, but also deep to the extreme, in this case, the materials that the Cao Gang can use must be extremely large, and it is not comparable to the idle forces at all.

Even for this battle, the Hanyang Gang has prepared a lot under the command of Xia Nan, and they are relatively well prepared, but at this time, compared with the Cao Gang, they are still compared.

When the fleets of the two sides leaned together and attacked together, from the opponent's ships, a lot of sharp arrows were immediately shot, and the endless arrows formed a storm one after another, and shot rapidly.

The two sides shoot each other to see which side has more people and prepares more arrows, so that they can gain some upper hand in this kind of shooting.

The Cao Gang's army is indeed larger than the Hanyang Gang, although on the canal, the river channel facing both sides is so wide, it is impossible to mobilize all the large armies forward, and when the ships are lined up, there will always be a limit.

In this case, the Cao Gang's numerical advantage of 80,000 troops was not brought into full play, but even in this situation, the Hanyang Gang was still at a disadvantage in the battle.

Under the continuous number of opponents and the overwhelming number of arrows, the Hanyang gang is a little tired of resisting, if this situation is not improved, it may not lead to the defeat of this battle, but it will make morale low.

After all, in the previous year, in the battles on the Han River, the Hanyang Gang experienced dozens of battles, which one was not a series of victories, and victory after victory forged the heroism of the Hanyang Gang and the prestige of the Hanyang Gang.

Fighting again and again, victory after victory, has already made the Hanyang Gang blindly believe that under the leadership of Xia Nan, they can always achieve victory, and Xia Nan has long been synonymous with victory in the war.

Because of this, this time to attack the Cao Gang, after Xia Nan proposed it, among the Hanyang Gang, there was basically no resistance, and it was achieved directly, and it could be done directly.

At this time, the people in the Hanyang Gang had a blind worship of Xia Nan, believing that as long as they followed Xia Nan, they would definitely be able to win.

Under this mentality, whenever there is a war, everyone's sense of battle will be very active, and they can exert a relatively strong force in the battle.

However, under this kind of good weather, there is also a bad thing, that is, you can't lose the battle, everyone's will to fight is triggered by victory, once you lose the battle, it will be a blow to everyone's morale.

Under the strong morale, if you lose a game, it will definitely not be a good thing for everyone's morale to fall, once the morale falls back, it is not so easy to improve it.

Even, the decline in morale will also be a blow to everyone's combat effectiveness, and if it is not done well, everyone's combat effectiveness will also have a kind of decline.

Under this extremely dangerous situation, Xia Nan would definitely not wait, he had to find a way, so under Xia Nan's order, he began to prepare.

"Put the oil on fire, put the rockets. ”

Under Xia Nan's order, the ships that had already been prepared on the side of the Hanyang Gang rushed towards the opposite side under the guidance of some gangs, and the speed was extremely fast, speeding past.

These ships were all small ships, small ships, ten in all, in a sequential order, rushing towards the opposite side.

This section of the canal should still be relatively wide, the chassis is still relatively good, in the resistance of thousands of large ships on both sides, five or six thousands of large ships can be lined up side by side.

You know, the boats lining up on the river are not like on land, and the carriages are next to the other.

On the water, on the river is different, between each boat and each boat, there must be some distance, otherwise, if a boat next to a boat, it is not convenient to do anything, and when it arrives, it will delay time.

Especially in battle, the two ships are too close to each other, and there is no way to exert their most powerful strength, and it is impossible to fight well.

The situation where two ships are next to each other, what kind of situation is more common, unless it is a ship battle, will let the two ships come together, and the battle will be fought.

With such a wide river, it is really not too easy for ten small boats to carry, there will not be too much crowding at all, and there will not be too much trouble.

So ten small boats went to the opposite side, very fast, and there were straw men stuck in the boats, forming a kind of curtain that blocked the boats.

At the time of the battle, the ships of both sides would send this kind of small boat, there must be a purpose, maybe the other party does not know what the purpose of Xia Nan is, but no matter what the purpose, it must be attacked.

In this case, the Cao Gang's side must have released arrows, and the arrows that split the sky and the earth fell towards the ten small boats.

Most of these arrows were ordinary arrows, and this was enough, and when they hit the boat, they were immediately stopped by the grass on the boat and fell on the straw man.

However, among these arrows, there are also some rockets, which are not so easy to deal with, and when they fall on top of the straw man, they tend to burn the straw man.
