Lu Xun knew that what Lu Meng said was right.

But there wasn't much he could do.

Although there are less than 50,000 horses in the city today, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Not to mention that almost all the warships were taken away by Zhou Yu.

If you want to stop the shelling of Huaxiong's naval army on the opposite side, how easy is it?

The two could only watch the enemy troops on the opposite side, and the cannons kept roaring!

After another moment, the city wall of Linjiang, which had been in disrepair for a long time, finally could not withstand the bombardment of artillery.

After a loud bang, the entire city wall completely collapsed!

Although Lu Xun and Lu Meng had withdrawn from the soldiers on the city wall in advance, looking at the ruined city wall, the two of them couldn't help but gasp!

Without the city walls, how can this withstand the enemy?

Sun Quan and the others on the watchtower were also pale!

"Lord, why don't we withdraw first?"

Zhang Zhao on the side was anxious and hurriedly suggested.

Just when Sun Quan was hesitating, the sharp-eyed Liu Bei suddenly saw that dozens of warships suddenly appeared on the river to the west.

"Wu Hou, look at it!"

Everyone looked at it and saw that those standing boats were flying the flag of Jiangdong!

"It's the Grand Duke's warship!"

"The Metropolitan Governor has brought people back!"

The crowd couldn't help but cheer.

Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief instantly, and his heart hanging in the air also fell back.

Jiangdong Sailor is invincible in the world!

With Zhou Yu coming back with troops, do you still need to be afraid of Huaxiong's warships?

On the Feiyun, Zhou Yu looked at Jianye City, which had collapsed a city wall, and frowned.

Huaxiong's warship, so powerful?

But fortunately, he came in time and didn't let the enemy attack Jianye.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu commanded in a deep voice,

"Use the flag language to order the soldiers, first use the warships to attack the opponent's warship, and the other warships are ready to engage in broadside battle!"

"Whoa!"

In a few moments, the order was conveyed to the ships through the flags.

The Jiangdong warship was fully prepared, full of horsepower, and went down the river, killing in the direction of Ganning with great momentum.

"Report to the commander, the enemy army has a total of fifty warships, and dozens of ships!"

The adjutant general reported to Gan Ningyu.

Looking at the enemy warship twice as large as himself, Gan Ning had a smug smile on his face.

"Let me let you know today the power of the new warship."

He muttered to himself, and then his face turned grim and he shouted,

"Order, turn the ship sideways!"

"Whoa!"

The crowd responded.

A moment later, Gan Ning's warships all dealt with Zhou Yu's troops from the side.

Seeing their move, Zhou Yu frowned, and a touch of incomprehension flashed in his eyes.

There were three main ways of naval warfare in ancient times.

The first is long-range archery, but this can only shoot the soldiers on the deck, and cannot hurt behind the cover, which is extremely disadvantageous.

Therefore, it is mainly based on the bow hitting the cone angle, hitting the enemy ship, and engaging the ship.

Huaxiong's sailor troops greeted the weak side of the ship, is this taking the initiative to seek death?

Not to mention Zhou Yu, even Lu Su, Huang Gai, Zhuge Liang and others are a little confused.

But just after the distance between the two sides was shortened and they saw the black holes on the other side's ship, the doubts in the hearts of Zhou Yu and the others were instantly explained.

Hua Xiong actually loaded the artillery onto the station ship?

Zhou Yu was shocked in his heart, and his complexion also changed!

"Quick, get your feet up, rush over!"

He roared.

If you can't get close to the enemy ship quickly, you can't be an opponent!

It's a pity that before his order could be delivered, the artillery on the opposite side began to roar!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

A series of loud noises echoed across the river!

The first to bear the brunt was the stern that rushed to the front, intending to ram the enemy ship.

Gan Ning's warships, just one salvo, those ships were sunk by ten!

"This ...... This...... Scary, no...... Possible! ”

Huang Gai was a little incoherent and stared at the river.

The people on the side were also full of shock.

But that's not all.

Gan Ning also ordered his warships to adjust their artillery and aim at the Jiangdong warships behind the warships!

"Bang bang bang!"

Another volley, countless shells roared into the sky.

And then hit the ships hard!

Although the Jiangdong warships were all made of fine wood, they were built after decades of processing.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as exceptionally sturdy.

But in front of artillery, they are as fragile as a piece of paper!

Hua Xiong's artillery on the warship was equipped with a total of 1 flower bullet and solid shell.

When a solid bullet hits a standing ship, it can directly pierce through the hull!

And the 1 flower bomb loaded with 1 gunpowder will explode directly, and the whole ship will be ignited in an instant!

In just less than a cup of tea, the Jiangdong Navy Division lost more than a dozen warships!

Looking at a warship next to the Feiyun, it was hit by two cannonballs, and in an instant, sawdust flew wildly, and everything on the deck turned into ruins!

Everyone was stupefied.

Huang Gai looked at Zhou Yu a little bewildered,

"Governor, this ...... What should I do? ”

Looking at Jiangdong's proudest warship, so vulnerable, Zhou Yu's heart seemed to be dripping blood.

He gritted his teeth,

"Adjust the sails immediately and retreat!"

It is too difficult to get close to enemy ships at the moment.

I'm afraid that before I get close to them, my own ships will be lost!

Therefore, Zhou Yu could only be ruthless and ordered to retreat!

The frightened people did not dare to continue the attack, and hurriedly ordered a retreat.

It's just that when they attacked, it was smooth, but it didn't go so smoothly when they turned around and went back.

Ganning's artillery continued to roar until the shells in the battleship were almost squandered, and then the pursuit stopped.

Looking at the Jiangdong sailors who fled in embarrassment, Gan Ning couldn't help but smile.

The warship artillery invented by the lord is really awesome!

……

Zhou Yu retreated all the way upstream, and did not stop until he determined that the troops of the Huaxiong Naval Division did not pursue any more.

After counting, there were only a dozen of Jiangdong sailors left!

There are even fewer warships.

Such a tragic result almost didn't make everyone cry.

Zhou Yu sat at the bow of the ship in despair, his face dazed.

Zhuge Liang on the side, who couldn't bear to see it, stepped forward and comforted,

"Governor, Jiangdong's shipbuilding industry is developed, although it has lost so many ships, it can still be rebuilt in time."

Zhou Yu raised his head, glanced at him, and said with a wry smile,

"Mr. Kong Ming, what you said is right."

"But what if we rebuild a fleet?"

"It's not just a repeat of the same mistakes."

Everyone was shocked and silent.

Oh, yes.

Hua Xiong moved the artillery to the warship, which can be said to change the way of water warfare!

With artillery, how could Huaxiong's sailors still be stupid to play broadside battles with you?

Wouldn't it be nice to sink your fleet with a salvo of artillery from a long distance?
