"Damn, what's that?"

Huang Jian finally saw the Chu army in the distance at this moment, but when he saw the three steel giants in front, he directly burst into foul language, and everyone was stupid.

"General, well, such a big warship, and it seems to be made of steel, how is this possible!" Next to him, a general was also at a loss, and said in a daze.

In his inherent thinking, it was impossible for a battleship to be made of steel, but the three battleships in the distance really made him dumbfounded, including one on the left and right wings.

"No way, no way!"

"Steel is impossible to build ships, it must be fake, the Chu army must have used a trick, yes, it must be, no one can build a warship with steel!"

Huang Jie was a little panicked and couldn't find a sense of security, the main thing was that his thoughts were subverted, why is there a warship wrapped in iron armor in the world?

And he suddenly found that the building ship dozens of meters under his feet seemed to be nothing more than that, and the battleship of the Chu army in the distance was probably not smaller than the building ship under his feet.

"General, what now?" The guard next to him asked anxiously.

Huang Jie also frowned, now that the arrow is on the line, he has to send it, if he retreats directly, there is this time, and the fighting ships and ships of the Chu army will definitely chase after him.

Obviously, it cannot be withdrawn.

But he completely underestimated Chu Feng's sailors, who would have thought that he who had to borrow a boat from Jingzhou two years ago could develop like this today.

"Boom!"

"Pass the order, there is no advance or retreat in this battle, General Le has already made a detour to the rear, and the front and back are flanked, and the Chu army will be defeated!" Huang Jie drew his sword and shouted.

Immediately, the flag waved,

The warships of the various divisions did not stop,

But the mighty and neat military formation of the Chu army cast a haze over all of them.

At the same time, on the mighty river, the fierce war drums sounded, the oars rowed the river, and the fearless warships rushed over.

Gan Ning glanced at it and couldn't help sneering: "It's really beyond my strength, but seeing that the main force of our army hasn't fled, I have a little guts!" ”

As he spoke, Gan Ning drew his sword and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order, the catapult is loaded, the irregular rapid fire, the ship-breaking crossbow is ready, and it will be launched immediately when it enters the range." ”

Immediately, the flag was waved.

The left and right wings, including the middle three, and the five battleship catapults were directly loaded, and then only the huge arms brought out the whistling wind and threw a jar of fire oil lit.

Whew, whew!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Some jars were thrown directly into the Yangtze River, but some jars smashed into those warships, the clay pots were broken, the fierce fire oil splashed everywhere, and the fire was instantly sparkling.

"It's a catapult, quick, put out the fire!"

"Uh~ah!"

"Help me, save me!"

"Poof, poof!"

After several rounds of rapid shooting, many warships on the Jingzhou side were on fire, and many soldiers were stained with fierce fire oil, and they were burned in pain and kept roaring.

"General, the catapult equipped by the enemy's main ship has caused heavy casualties among the soldiers, I'm afraid..."

"Boom!"

The sword was directly on his neck,

Huang Jie frowned gloomily: "If you dare to retreat, Lao Tzu will kill you now!" ”

"This!" The adjutant was helpless.

"A few warships are on fire, what is there to be afraid of, give the order, sail at full speed, rush in for me, the Chu army is vulnerable." Huang Zhu shouted.

At such a juncture, he could not afford to mess with himself.

And Le is already surrounding this side, and the outcome is still unknown.

But at this moment, a dense row of crossbow arrows fired, each of which was as thick as a calf, and covered it instantly.

Some of these crossbow bolts came from several main ships, some came from some building ships, and a few were fighting ships, so that the second round of ultra-long-range firepower directly formed a covering net.

Bang! Bang!

Many crossbow bolts pierced through the hull, causing the ship to shake directly, and then began to sink into the water, and some submerged in the water, causing a burst of waves.

And the most terrifying thing is the armor soldier who was shot.

The tremendous force of the impact penetrated through the past, often in the chest, or half of the body was shot through, blood and internal organs flowed all over the ground, and the death was extremely miserable.

"Ugh! Yes! ”

Countless screams reverberated on the river,

This is not a short battle, the Jingzhou army lost its troops, which made Huang Jie's face even harder, thinking that he was bold in front of his father before,

Unexpectedly, he underestimated Chu Feng's water army too much,

Himself, maybe it's the clown!

The enemy has tens of thousands, thousands of themselves, the enemy has catapults, broken ships and crossbows, but they have archers and spears, and no one knows that they can fight in this battle.

He can now pin his hopes on Le.

However, under the coverage of such dense heavy firepower, the Jingzhou soldiers have already lost their fighting spirit, this group of soldiers may indeed be sailors, but they have to give the elite,

Jingzhou soldiers are content with the status quo all year round, how can they talk about elite?

When Cao Cao took Jingzhou, nearly 100,000 Jingzhou sailors couldn't defeat Zhou Yu's tens of thousands of sailors, and they were indeed a bunch of garbage.

"Steady, steady!"

Huang Shot roared, constantly making people give orders, but fewer and fewer people obeyed, and some even drove a boat to retreat, there was really no way,

The closer they got, the more they could feel the oppression of those steel behemoths,

The draft was seven or eight meters deep, and the water was nearly ten meters high, three stories high, and it was very difficult for them to go up, not to mention that the deck was densely packed with enemy troops.

"Hehe, a bunch of garbage!"

On the Jiujiang ship, Gan Ning sneered.

It's just that under the control of long-range dual firepower, the Jingzhou army is like this, he really can't think of anyone who dares to brag about the Jingzhou navy, in his opinion, the Jingzhou navy is a joke.

"Collect the anchor, break the enemy, kill the !!"

Gan Ning's sword pointed forward, including the Jiujiang ship, all the boats went out together, and ten thousand boats fought for the crossing, directly approaching the Jingzhou soldiers, and the momentum could swallow heaven and earth.

Looking at this scene, Huang Shot trembled,

He never expected that his Jingzhou naval army would be so vulnerable, and it would be nice to collapse at the first touch, and at this moment, many warships were sinking and burning.

There are even quite a few that have retreated!

The morale of the army is weak, and no one can control the overall situation.

"General, withdraw, if you don't withdraw, it'll be too late!" The adjutant general said weakly, this defeat is in arrogance, defeat in contempt for opponents, and defeat in hard power.

But it's only 3,000 people, and the losses are not much.

"Whew! Remove! Huang Jie took a deep breath, the boat couldn't leave at this time, he immediately took his guards to board the stern and retreated quickly, for fear that the Chu army would catch up.

As the yellow shot fled, it was destined to be a one-sided massacre, with countless armorers drowning in the water, or being drowned by a dense rain of arrows.

The few who still want to resist can't set off the storm.

In the end, I don't know who shouted, Huang shot and fled, and the rest of the departments came back to their senses one after another, and they all surrendered.

"Bang!"

On the Jiujiang ship, Gan Ning slapped the eaves angrily.

actually let Huang Shoot to run away, but he learned from the mouth of the soldier that the rear was ambushed, so he immediately arranged for the warship to attack and kill.

"A rabble," Gan Ning said coldly.

When he was under Liu Biao, he knew that Liu Biao belonged to the outside powerhouse, even if there were 100,000 troops, but the combat effectiveness of these people was debatable.

However, Gan Ning also did what he promised Chu Feng back then, training a naval army that is stronger than the Jingzhou naval army, and he asked himself that his boat division was enough to dominate the world.

"Count the losses, collect the warships, sink the anchor and repair all the warships, and wait for the order!" Gan Ning immediately spoke.

"No!" The generals of the various departments should be discharged.

Immediately, countless generals rushed and began to gather the surrendered Jingzhou army, and then counted the Jingzhou warships, two of which were particularly eye-catching.

There were 730 people who surrendered, two building ships, a number of fighting ships, ships, and boats, and countless arrows and strong bows, but these people had average combat strength.

————

And at this moment, on the Jiujiang ship.

All the troops will report on the battle situation, how many enemies have been killed, or how many have been recruited, and the whole audience will be happy and victorious, which is good news.

"Report, General Qiyu, the rear side will be defeated and fled with 2,000 soldiers and horses!"

Gan Ning nodded, signaling that he understood.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this place is only dozens of miles away from Shaxian Water Village, and it is only a few dozen miles away in the blink of an eye. Now our army has won the first battle, but there are still 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses under Huang Zu's command, so we should not be careless. ”

"I wonder if you have a good plan to defeat the enemy?"

Gan Ning looked around and asked in a deep voice.

"Xingba, it's better to divide the troops by waterway, you lead your troops to take Shaxian Water Village, and I lead your troops to take Shaxian directly, so that you can cut off communication between the two places, and second, you can make its soldiers panic."

Zhao Fan suggested.

"I've also thought about this method, and it's indeed feasible, but Huang Zu has been running Jiangxia for many years and is deeply rooted, and I'm worried that I may not be able to capture the city by dividing my troops at this moment."

Gan Ning frowned, a little hesitant.

"There is no need to worry about attacking the city at all, Zhao Yun is still in the city, but the inside and the outside should be combined, as long as I lead the troops to take Shaxian first, Huang Zu will definitely not dare to stick to the water village,"

"In this way, most of Jiangxia will fall into the hands of our army, and we can wait for the arrival of the lord!" Zhao Fan said with an oath.

He is still full of confidence in the siege of the city, although there are only 300 Zhao Yun in the city, but the equipment combat power is 3,000 people.

"In that case, let's divide the troops!"

"The terrain on the shore here is gentle, and you can go straight to Shaxian, in this way, Zhao Fan, you lead your troops to approach Shaxian, and I will mediate with Huang Zu on the river." Gan Ning nodded.

It is naturally best to really force Huang Zu back,

Their purpose in this battle is to take Jiangxia, or to take Shaxian, Shaxian Water Village to control the mouth of the Han River, and to enter Jiangling, only to take this place.

Take Sha Xian, the strategic initiative is on your side,

At that time, Liu Biao will always worry about the safety of Jiangling or Xiangyang,

You must know that although Jingzhou is rich, Jingnan is in the hands of Zhang Xian, Liu Biao only owns Nanjun and Jiangxia, and Nanyang is dilapidated and ceded to Zhang Xiu to garrison.

Lost Jiangxia and Jingnan, Liu Biao seemed to be like a tiger without sharp teeth.

The strategic layout was agreed, and countless boats began to transport Zhao Fan and his legions to the shore, the process will be long, and it will not be easy to cross the river if it is suitable.

————

Shaxian Water Village,

Huang Zhu returned with more than a dozen ships and ships, all of them were disgraced, unable to raise their heads in shame, how arrogant they were when they left, how embarrassed they were when they came back,

Entering the water village, Huang Jie went straight to the general camp without saying a word.

As soon as he led the deputy general into the camp, he listened to the first place, Huang Zu was not angry and arrogant, and slapped the tea cup on the seat, making a crisp sound.

"You still have the fucking face to come back?"

"Daddy, me,"

"Shut up, Lao Tzu doesn't have you as a waste son!" Huang Zu scolded angrily, thinking that he Huang Zu was famous, but he didn't expect his son to be so stupid.

"Lord, it's no wonder that the general is in this matter, the Chu army is menacing and well-prepared, and its army has several warships of tens of zhang in size, and these warships are all equipped with catapults, city-breaking crossbows, etc."

"Moreover, the enemy's army, both in strength and the number of ships, is far superior to our army, so that our army is defeated." The adjutant general elaborated with palpitations.

"A warship the size of tens of zhang?" Huang Zu frowned, a little shocked.

"Well, Dad, the Chu army has several such warships, and these warships are all made of steel, and arrows and axes can't damage them in the slightest."

Huang Jie hurriedly wrote a book.

"Made of steel?" Huang Zu frowned gloomily.

Although his son is stupid, he is not so good as to deceive himself.

"Dozens of zhang is indeed not small, I'm afraid it's no worse than our military building ship." Huang Zu pinched his chin and fell into deep thought, this was not good news.

"Dad, that thing is much bigger than my military ship!" Huang Zhu hurriedly added, slandering in his heart, there is a difference between tens and dozens, and the length alone is probably twice as long.

"Bigger than a ship?" Huang Zu was surprised.

"Well, twice as big!" Huang Jie nodded: "Dad, why don't you withdraw, the Chu army is too strong, in today's battle, my army may not have killed a few Chu troops!" ”

Huang Jie had palpitations in his heart and said weakly.

To be honest, he didn't want to face that steel torrent, and when he encountered this kind of army on the river, he simply wanted to die.

"Bastard," Huang Zu was angry: "I see that you are confused, come here, take him back to Shaxian for me to think about it behind closed doors, and then let him come to see me after thinking clearly." ”

"No!" The guards immediately responded.

"Dad, it's just Gan Ning who is here now, he's just a general under Chu Feng, Chu Feng hasn't come yet, if he comes, our army will definitely be defeated!"

"Dad, while Jiang Xia is still in our hands, let's surrender, Chu Feng has always treated the generals well, with your ability, you will definitely not treat us badly!"

Huang Jie said unwillingly.

"Get out!" Huang Zu scolded angrily.

His Huang Zu is famous, how can he surrender?

What's more, he had long regarded Jiangxia as his own territory, so what reason did he have to give it to Chu Feng directly? So much so that he resolutely would not choose to surrender.

Of course, later he hated himself for not listening to Huang Shot.

"Who would dare to fight?" Huang Zu glanced and asked.

This time, the previous group of generals shrank their heads one by one, and they were all silent, mainly listening to Huang Jie's words, this Chu army does have something.

A steel warship alone makes them angry.

"Lord, the Chu army seems to have come prepared, in my opinion, our army can hold the water village, and Sha Xian will be the horns of each other, and hold on to the reinforcements!"

Zhang Shuo clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.

"That's right, if the envoy knows that the Chu army has entered, he will definitely send people to help as soon as possible, and Xiangyang can go down the river from here, but it will only be a few days!"

Another spoke.

"Yes, yes, stay for help!"

For a time, the generals who had fought in the previous main battle all chose to stick to it.

Huang Zu knew that since the Chu army had entered, the matter would definitely not end so simply, and Jiangxia was his territory, and he had to find a way to solve it.

At the moment, he has no good plan, so he has to brake quietly for the time being!

In the end, this council came to an end!
