In good conscience, Huang Gai's ability to command water warfare is definitely the best in the Jiangdong Army.

Especially in this life, the Jiangdong Army has fewer fierce generals Gan Ning and Tai Shici than the same period in history, and among the rest of the people, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu himself can be stronger than Huang Gai in the command of water battles. The rest, such as Lu Meng and others, are still too young to grow up.

The reason why Xu Kun was able to become the main general of the vanguard fleet in this battle was nothing more than because his identity was more pro-noble and more trusted by Sun Ce.

After Xu Kun was seriously injured and fell into a coma, Huang Gai took over the command of the vanguard fleet very responsibly and did his best to reorganize the formation.

With the delay of the battle just now, the squadron that Xu Kun had sent to the north and south flanks to make a detour had almost shrunk back to defense and maneuvered in place, and began to launch a three-sided siege on Tai Shici's dozen fighting ships. The situation in which the Jiangdong Army was crushed by local forces was finally reversed.

Relying on the obvious advantage of the number and size of the fleet, Huang Gai gradually stopped Tai Shici's rampage and rampant killing.

It's a pity that all this came too late, the command center has been hit hard, the Chinese army has suffered a lot of losses, and Huang Gai can only be able to draw with Tai Shici, and the two sides have fallen into a bloody war of attrition.

The Jiangdong Army's ships were low in shape, and the oars could not hide the arrows, and the oarsmen often suffered heavy losses in the counter-shooting.

Moreover, the tonnage of the hull is several times different, once Tai Shici rampage, as long as the Jiangdong Army's stern is hit, even if it does not sink directly, at least the ship's board will be broken and seriously damaged.

Although there were two or three fighting ships on Tai Shici's side, they were seriously damaged after the fierce repeated collisions and broadside jumps, and two of them sank. But on the Huang Gai side, there have been more than a dozen sunks.

Huang Gai knew that he could no longer keep his distance and fight, which would only make it worse, so he ordered the whole army to go up to the side to slash and kill, and strive for a few small boats to surround Tai Shici and slash a big boat. As long as the ship is attached to the side of the ship, the ship will no longer be able to hit the ship.

As for jumping with a low warship to help a higher warship, and the disadvantage of the back-attack that he must bear, Huang Gai can't take care of it, this is already the lesser of two evils, and he loses more from the other two tactics.

As the gangside hits the hull one by one, groups of Jiangdong sailors wield swords and shields, and bravely rushed over the board with light and swift skills, attacking the fighting ship on their backs.

In the porthole of the fighting ship, the crossbowmen fired at the narrow board left and right, and many Jiangdong soldiers were shot down and fell into the river before they could rush through this short distance of one or two zhang, and the miserable cries for help were endless.

Fortunately, most of the Jiangdong soldiers were holding shields, which could barely cover and support for a while, but when they jumped onto the deck of the fighting ship, they would immediately be densely stabbed by the pikemen under Tai Shici's command.

The length of the Jiangdong soldiers' weapons occupies an absolute disadvantage, relying on a shield to the left and right, the soldiers who initially ascended first were pierced into hedgehogs, and only after paying a lot of lives could they barely gain a foothold and enter the hand-to-hand combat.

But instead of holding a shield, it is not possible to charge with a two-handed spear, because it is likely that he will be shot with a crossbow on the way over the portray, which is a dilemma.

……

Huang Gai struggled to support the casualty exchange ratio several times, and in the bloody battle of just half an hour, the casualties of the Jiangdong soldiers were estimated to reach 2,000 people. On the opposite side, the Taishi Ci Department suffered less than seven or eight hundred casualties.

In terms of warships, only two fighting ships of the Taishi Ci Army were sunk and two were seriously damaged, but Huang Gai's side sank a full thirteen ships, and other minor bumps and bumps and injuries could not be counted.

However, such a continuous bloody battle also dragged on for enough time, and finally allowed the main force of Sun Ce's department, which was riding the slow and majestic building ships and fighting ships in the rear, to rush to the battlefield.

On the other side of the battlefield, in the direction of the downstream, nearly 10,000 sailors of Guan Yu's army also took more than 100 large and small warships and approached the battlefield.

Guan Yu's distance from the main battlefield was originally farther than Sun Ce, and he should have arrived later, but when Tai Shici turned around to cover up, he just took advantage of the rising tide, so Guan Yu, who was further downstream, also took advantage of the tide to kill, which belonged to the downstream, and the sailing speed suddenly increased.

Sun Ce in the upper reaches sailed against the tide at high tide, and the speed of the voyage was greatly reduced, between an increase and a decrease, and finally there was a situation where Sun Ce and Guan Yu arrived almost at the same time.

Sun Ce didn't know that his cousin Xu Kun was seriously injured and in a coma, and when he saw Huang Gai leading the vanguard team to fight to the death, he thought that Xu Kun was leading the team in a bloody battle.

Seeing that the squadron was pressed and beaten by Tai Shici, and they were still holding on, Sun Ce was of course high-spirited and rushed at full speed to rescue his own vanguard.

"Tai Shi Ci is so rampant, but with more than a dozen fighting ships, he will show off his might, and when my ship arrives, I will kill him without leaving a piece of armor!"

Sun Ce angrily slapped the hardwood bunkers on the top of the cabin a few times, and shouted loudly to command all the heavy building ships of the whole army, a total of nine ships, loaded with nearly 10,000 soldiers, and rushed straight towards Tai Shici.

The building ship has one more layer than the superstructure of the fighting ship, and the height advantage is very obvious, just like a city on the water.

The fighting ship can condescendingly bully the ship, and the building ship can naturally bully the fighting ship condescendingly, just like the beast chess, eating and being eaten are not happy.

It's a pity, because Tai Shici and Huang Gai have been inseparable, and most of them are entangled together, you have me, I have you, and you are fighting hand-to-hand combat.

After Sun Cejun approached, he soon found that there was no way for the building ship to be directly attached to the broadside, because if it hit directly, it was very likely to sink together with the yellow cover of the ship.

Sun Cejun's building ship could only be a warship that was dozens or even more than a hundred steps away, and suppressed Tai Shici's side with a bow and crossbow.

The size and tonnage of the building ship and the fighting ship are very large, and it is especially difficult to control at high tide, so it is impossible to get closer.

Fifty paces, for a large ship, is a distance where a wave drifting is likely to collide.

Tai Shici's side, who was originally shooting others condescendingly, was suddenly shot by the enemy condescendingly, and immediately felt suppressed.

After paying the first few casualties of the crossbowmen and oarsmen, Tai Shici decisively ordered: "Close all the oarsmen's portholes!" Give up paddling and stick to the spot! The oarsmen all change their weapons and guard the hatches everywhere! ”

The generals and officers under Tai Shici's command were also quite surprised when they got this order through the flag, but they still carried it out. The lower portholes of more than a dozen remnant ships were closed, leaving only the top firing hole.

Of course, this is very dangerous, because it means giving up most of the ship's power, and can only go with the flow, get beaten and fight back on the spot, and cannot actively maneuver and pursue.

Tai Shi Ci dared to stand on his shoulders like this, gambling that he had already seen Guan Yu's main force approaching, and it would not be long before Sun Ce Yaowu could show his might. In this case, he is like Xuanwu, immobile like a mountain, sticking to the spot and waiting for reinforcements, strengthening his defense to the highest!

By the time Sun Ce noticed this change, he had already delayed a few teas. He suddenly found that the crossbow projectile of his building ship could not hurt Tai Shici at all, the other party retracted behind the cabin and bunker, and the portholes were closed.

wanted to crash into the broadside battle, but was blocked by the yellow cover of the ship.

Sun Ce had no choice but to let people shout in unison, and then frantically play the flag, but the command message that the flag could convey was very limited and rough, and it took half a stick of incense to let Huang Gaibu know what to do.

"Old General Huang, the lord asks all our ships to get out of the way, don't hinder the lord's boat from rushing up and colliding with Tai Shici." On the other ship next to Huang Gai, it was Ling Cao who was the first to see the content of Sun Ce's flag, and hurriedly asked people to yell at Huang Gai.

Huang Gai came to his senses at this time, and commanded the sterns who had fallen into hand-to-hand combat to cut off the board with giant axes, and then used the brace to prop up the distance to make way for Sun Ce's ship to attack, so as not to collide with each other.

Anyway, Tai Shici has stopped paddling, only the sail canopy is still providing power, and the speed has been greatly reduced, so he will definitely not be able to run away.

Tossed a stick of incense back and forth, this strategic maneuver was completed, and Sun Ce was finally able to rush up directly and confront Tai Shici head-on.

Five or six captains drove straight in, collided with Tai Shici's fighting ship, and threw hook ropes one after another, dozens of bowl-thick hemp ropes with cast iron hooks, pulling the two ships tightly together-

Because the tonnage of the building ship and the fighting ship is too large, it can no longer be fixed by a lap plate like the stern when it is connected, so that the relative angle will be very oblique, and it will be difficult for the soldiers to rush past the opposing ship.

Only pull with dozens of soft ropes to ensure that the two boats are parallel to each other, and then jump directly to the gang.

Sun Ce's Jiangdong soldiers are also veterans of water warfare, and they are very skilled in playing this trick, seeing that Tai Shici's boat is tied up by dozens of hooks and hooks, Sun Ce feels that he is stable.

Moreover, in the process of charging and engaging just now, Sun Ce's Lou fleet also sank three Tai Shi Ci's fighting ships, although two of them had already collided many times and were seriously damaged when they fought with the warship team at the beginning.

But no matter what, Huang Gai paid such a big price, and he sank more than a dozen ships before sinking two Tai Shi Ci. As soon as Sun Ce came, in the process of hedging, he directly sank three ships, causing at least five or six hundred Liu Beijun sailors to fall into the water, which is too obvious.

Fighting on the river, the ship is big enough to do whatever it wants! A ship of 600 tons hits a ship of more than 200 tons, it's so easy!

Sun Ce and Tai Shi Ci had also fought for two years before, from one year before Cao Cao greeted the Son of Heaven to one year after Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven, when Tai Shi Ci was Liu Xuan's subordinate. Sun Ce naturally also has a deep understanding of Tai Shici's tactics and strength.

After Liu Xuan's death, Tai Shici voted for Liu Bei, and the two sides did not fight again for three years. Today, the re-entry of short-handed troops is naturally very red-eyed.

Sun Ce is also working hard, and he wants to finish his work in one battle and completely uproot the remnants of Tai Shici's Liu Xiang faction.

"Shieldmen, pikemen, and pikemen ready to jump! Occupy the roof of the Taishi Ci Dou Ship first, and then kill it layer by layer! Prepare the fish paste jar and torch, and if you encounter someone who dares to block the hatch and defend it, throw the igniting fish paste jar into it! ”

With Sun Ce's order, the Jiangdong soldiers on the building ship were condescending, and jumped onto Tai Shici's fighting ship, the building boat was only more than a zhang higher than the fighting ship, and he was not afraid of falling and hurting his leg when he jumped over this little drop.

And the gangplank of the gangboard is omitted, and you can jump everywhere, and the crossbowmen on the fighting ship want to shoot from the back to block the attack, but they don't know where to shoot, because on the entire seven- or eight-zhang long gangway, there may be soldiers jumping down everywhere.

The two sides could only see the moves, and launched a chaotic and bloody hand-to-hand fight.

However, at the same time that Sun Ce was attracted by Tai Shici, a "hard bone as immovable as a mountain", Guan Yu's main fleet had already maneuvered to the north of Sun Ce's army in a roundabout way and swarmed and killed.

On the water surface of the river bay on the southwest side, the 4,000 men of Zhang Duo and Lu Yi also took more than 20 large sea ships and fought within the combat distance.
