056 Fire Dragon Formation Destroys the Enemy (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The most commonly used method of warfare in naval warfare is fire attack.
Because, these ancient ships were all made of wood, and if you attack and burn the ship with fire, you can burn a large piece of it.
It is precisely because of this that naval forces generally prepare fire-igniting things such as sulfur, saltpeter, and fire oil on ships.
They kept these fire-burning things in good order to be able to defeat the enemy when it was critical.
However, when others attack it with fire, they burn the enemy's ship.
Gan Ning is different! He attacked with fire, and actually burned his own ship first.
Before, Zhu Ran also said that the naval army formed a long snake formation, and what he was most afraid of was a fire attack.
Once it is burned, it is a fire to the company camp.
To Zhu Ran's surprise, Gan Ning actually took the initiative to burn his ship.
At this time, the fire borrows the wind, and the wind helps the fire.
Gan Ning's one-word long snake formation, that is, a fire dragon swept over.
Above Koto's flagship.
Zhu Ran and Zhu Yi looked at the scene in front of them, and the whole person was still in shock.
After so many years of water warfare, I have burned the enemy's ships in the past, and I have never seen anyone burn their own ships.
"This Gan Ningmo is not crazy and actually burned his own ship!" At this time, Zhu Yi was still puzzled.
Zhu Yi is a third-rate military general at best, how can he understand the thoughts of the top military general Gan Ning.
As for Zhu Ran, in history, Eastern Wu also learned from the five tiger generals of Shu Han, and the five Ziliang generals of Cao Wei discharged one of the twenty-four tiger generals of Eastern Wu.
Zhu Ran is ranked among the twenty-four tiger generals of Eastern Wu, but, despite this, Zhu Ran is also at the level of a second-rate general.
Even, among the second-rate generals, he is not top-notch.
The short man is tall, and Zhu Ran is much stronger than Zhu Yi anyway.
"That's not right!"
"I crashed, Gan Ning burned his own ship, he wanted to die with us!" Zhu Ran suddenly realized and shouted in a panic.
At this time, both sides hung up their sails and charged at full speed.
At a distance of less than three hundred zhang, Gan Ning set fire to his own boat.
At present, the two sides are still in a state of charge, and it will not be long before the ships of both sides collide together.
At that time, the fire that Gan Ning put on them will spread to their side.
"Quick, turn around!"
"Turn the rudder, turn around, turn the rudder!" Zhu Ran exerted all his strength and shouted loudly.
Rudder?
Turn?
Where is it so easy!
When Gan Ning burned the ship, the two sides were only 300 zhang apart.
Zhu Ran and Zhu Yi didn't react at first, but by the time they reacted, the two sides were already less than a hundred feet.
At this time, Zhu Ran, Zhu Yi and they were standing on the deck, and they were even able to catch the scorching heat wave coming in front of them.
At this distance, turning the rudder and making a U-turn, is simply impossible.
Not to mention the ships of the Three Kingdoms period, even modern ships may not be able to come in time.
Turn the rudder, turn around, it's impossible.
Now, the only way to slow down is to reduce the force of the collision between the two sides.
The harder they hit the fireship, the more they will sink into the fire.
"Quick, lower the sails."
"The order to lower the sails, no, cut the sails, cut the sail rope directly." Zhu Ran issued an emergency military order.
At this time, you just can't lower the sails.
By the time you lower the sail slowly, the daylily will be cold.
For the sake of the future, if you want to slow down, you can only cut the sails.
Cutting the sail rope is the only way to slow down at the moment.
Zhu Ran ordered the sails to be cut, and the speed of the Jiangdong naval ship slowed down.
However, it was too late by this time.
Because, the two sides are about to collide together.
Gan Ning had already placed his flagship across the river, using a direct side to pick up the ramming angle of Zhu Ran's flagship.
This is also one of Gan Ning's plans.
"Boom."
"Boom! Thundered! ”
The violent crashing sound continued to sound, and the Jiangdong naval ship slammed into the fire dragon array set up by Gan Ning.
The three flagships of the Jiangdong Navy collided with Gan Ning's flagship.
The three flagships of the Jiangdong Navy all have iron ramming angles on them, and this iron ramming angle hits Gan Ning's flagship and is directly embedded on it.
Flagships hit flagships, big ships hit big ships, small boats hit small boats.
For a while, above the river, there was chaos.
Everywhere there was a burst of fire, shouts of killing.
On top of Ganning's flagship, everything else was on fire, because there was no sulfur or fire oil sprinkled on the deck.
All the soldiers gathered on the deck.
The collision angle of the three flagships of Jiangdong hit Gan Ning's flagship straight up, and at this time, the four flagships were stuck together in the shape of plum blossoms.
"Capture the ship!" Gan Ning raised his arms and gave an order.
This is exactly Gan Ning's plan, to abandon all his ships and take the three flagships of Jiangdong.
Jiangdong's three flagships are equipped with iron ramming angles, so don't look at the fire on Gan Ning's ship, the fire is very large, but it can't burn the iron.
The fire is also unlikely to spread above the Jiangdong flagship.
Burning your own ships and dragging the Jiangdong Navy with the Fire Dragon Array can also make the Jiangdong Navy chaotic.
Then, take the opportunity to seize the ship.
However, due to Gan Ning's limited forces, he could only capture one ship first.
Once the forces are dispersed, it's over.
"Big brother, which one will you take first?" Ding Chong carried a big knife, looking eager to try.
When Gan Ning ordered the ship to be burned, everyone in the Jinfan Battalion did not hesitate.
They believe in Ganning, and they believe that Ganning is invincible.
And now, it is.
Gan Ning's one-move Fire Dragon Array can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
divided the fleet of the Jiangdong Naval Army, so that their superiority in strength could not be brought into play.
The fire also made the Jiangdong Navy feel very confused.
Take that ship first?
Does this need to be asked?
Of course, it is Zhu Ran's flagship.
To capture the flag, it is natural to seize the flagship first and kill Zhu Ran, the main general of Jiangdong.
"Naturally, it's the one with the flag in hand!"
"Brothers, kill with me!" Gan Ning held a double halberd and took the lead, jumped up from the deck, and jumped onto Zhu Ran's flagship.
This kind of battle to seize the ship is a piece of cake for me for the Jinfan Battalion.
Although the Jiangdong flagships are more sophisticated, in terms of height, the flagships of the two sides are about the same height.
With one leap of effort, they were able to jump onto the flagship of Koto.
At the beginning, when they were Jinfan thieves, they drove small boats, and they were able to take down large merchant ships more than ten times larger than them.
Gan Ning took the lead, and Jinfan Camp also learned from it.
Ganning's Jinfan Battalion is not ordinary, this is the ancient version of the Marine Corps.
These brothers in the Jinfan Camp are the elite of the elite.
These people are all young adults in their twenties and thirty years old.
Moreover, all of them are powerful and strong in martial arts. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are all white stripes in the waves, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are dragons in the water.
In the blink of an eye, Gan Ning took the brothers of the Jinfan Battalion and killed the Jiangdong flagship.
