Seeing those big ships, Liu Bei and Cao Cao were all surprised.

But as the warship approached, they could clearly see that the military flag of Yang Zhao's side was hoisted on the ship, which was the enemy's warship, which had penetrated deep into the Yangtze River.

Yang Zhao still has such a huge warship?

"The enemy is coming."

It was Cao Cao who reacted the fastest, and immediately shouted: "Hurry up and beat the drums, the whole army will board the ship and fight, quickly!" ”

The sound of war drums was soon beaten.

The soldiers of the Cao army hurriedly boarded the ship and all of them were ready for battle.

Then the Shu army couldn't calm down, and the whole army immediately got on the boat, and the weapons they used were all the same, those artillery pieces were ready, all pushed out to the side of the boat, and soldiers with rifles loaded their bullets one after another.

"Fight!"

Liu Bei shouted.

All the warships of the Shu army left the port and set off and advanced to the Yang Zhao warships downstream.

Almost at the same time, Cao's warships also received orders to go to battle, followed by the Shu warships, and launched a counterattack against Yang Zhao's army.

The warships of both sides soon got closer and closer.

The artillery is all ready, as soon as it enters the strike range, they will directly open fire.

Gan Ning stood at the bow of the ship, looked at the enemy warship in front, and said with a smile: "The lord is right, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will really gather on the edge of the Yangtze River, but they do this only to hasten their demise." ”

Cao Liu still wants to play water war?

In front of him Gan Ning, he is vulnerable and not worth mentioning.

In front of Yang Zhao's warships, as well as the guns on board, they were also vulnerable.

With only a few shots, Cao Liu's warship could be easily wiped out, and seeing that it was almost in the firing range, he shouted: "Do it!" Fire! ”

Rumble!

The ship's artillery, first bombarded out.

The cannonballs crossed the river and bombarded the warships of the Cao-Liu coalition army, and the shells exploded again, with flames splashing everywhere, gunsmoke rising everywhere, and screams constantly echoing.

Some of the shells that could not hit the warship fell on the water and exploded, and suddenly splashed all over the sky, and one after another water columns rose into the sky.

Such a shocking scene directly shocked Cao Liu and his subordinates.

The artillery on Yang Zhao's ship was not only powerful and ferocious, but also far beyond Cao Liu's understanding.

The two sides are not at the same level at all, the gap is so big that they can't fight at all, they even fight on the water, and they are pressed and rubbed on the ground by Yang Zhao, which is too bullying!

Gan Ning saw that the newly improved artillery that had been sent recently was so powerful, and shouted excitedly: "Keep fighting, don't stop, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will flee in the wilderness." ”

Rumble!

The artillery continued to bombard, and the sound of artillery firing echoed across the river.

The Cao Liu coalition army also wanted to open artillery to counterattack, but it was useless, they were pressed by Gan Ning and rubbed on the river, first of all, the range was not enough, and secondly, the power was not strong, Cao Liu's artillery could only fall on the river.

In addition, in terms of water warfare capabilities, the Cao and Liu coalition forces are not as good as Gan Ning.

"Rush over!"

Cao Cao said anxiously: "All rush towards the enemy's warships and close the distance!" ”

As long as the distance is shortened, even if the power of the artillery is not strong enough, it can still fight, and it can force Gan Ning back.

The only thing they can do is this, rush over and fight again, and regain the advantage by closing the distance.

If it was just a collision of dozens of ships, it might not be enough for Ganning to bombard, but it was not necessarily for hundreds of ships to rush over together.

When Liu Bei heard Cao Cao's arrangement, he also ordered the warships around him to rush over.

"General, the enemy is coming from the warship, it's a bit too much." Gan Ning's side, an adjutant general said eagerly.

There were only a few dozen warships that they came to attack Cao Liu, but hundreds of enemy ships rushed over at this time, and the momentum was very huge, and not all of them could be destroyed by their artillery.

The ships rushed out, and when they got closer, the guns on board fired.

Iron bullets blasted out of the barrels.

The boat beside Gan Ning was hit on the spot.

However, these are all improved by Ma Jun, the surface of the steel ship, just was punched out of a depression, not directly scrapped, or sunk, the hull just shook sharply, the impact is not big, and the problem is not big.

It's just that Cao Liu's ships, bypassing those that were sunk, began to storm again.

"Retreat, fight!"

Gan Ning also knew that the number of enemy ships increased, and the pressure was still there, so he could only order a retreat.

Their ships, fast.

In addition, he still retreated downstream, and as soon as he changed direction, he opened up the distance between him and the enemy ships.

Rumble!

The ship's artillery was still facing enemy bombardment.

While retreating, counterattacking.

The enemy ships that rushed over were soon sunk a lot.

"Keep chasing, keep chasing!"

Liu Bei stood at the bow of the ship, and when he saw that an impact seemed to work, he didn't want to let go of Gan Ning, and a large number of Shu warships charged with it.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes, seeing that Gan Ning controlled the warship, the speed of retreat was so fast, and the artillery on the ship was so powerful, he didn't know how greedy he was, if it was his own.

But he didn't plan to let Gan Ning go.

As long as they catch up, fight together in close quarters, and kill Gan Ning's warships, they will have the confidence to snatch one of Gan Ning's warships back for study.

The warships pursued by Cao Liu almost covered the surface of the river.

The sound of artillery echoed endlessly on the river, but most of the sunken warships were still from Cao Liu's side.

Many of them were hit by the warships in front, and the speed behind them was too fast to stop, so they crashed directly into them.

Not long after the chase, even if there was no need for Ganning to bombard, the warships of the Cao-Liu coalition army had already been rear-ended to varying degrees, and finally the dense ships were blocked on the river.

Gan Ning looked in the direction of the upstream, and saw that the enemy ship could not catch up, so he stopped bombarding, after all, there were too many of them, and he couldn't beat them, and said in a loud voice: "Retreat in the direction of Chaisang, and then arrange someone to contact the lord." ”

They soon disappeared in front of the eyes of the Cao-Liu coalition army.

After this battle, Gan Ning tested the specific strength of the Cao-Liu coalition army, but in terms of water warfare, it was actually not very good.

The next time he gathers his warships and sailors, he can torture Cao Liu without any pressure.

"It's a pity."

Seeing this, Cao Cao sighed helplessly.

Xi Zhong said: "We probably can't catch up, Yang Zhao's side, dare to use dozens of warships to fight us, which shows that they have nothing to fear." ”

"But ......"

Liu Bei said distressedly: "We have lost so many warships again. ”

Everyone: "......"

It is true that there are heavy losses, so it should not be confronted with Yang Zhao's warship.

Cao Cao said: "Go back first, wait for the news, and see if Yang Zhao will chase it down again." ”

Liu Bei also said in a loud voice: "Retreat!" ”

They soon came to the camp in Chibi.

Tapping the battle damage of the battle just now, I felt distressed and helpless.
