Chapter 407: Lost in the First Battle

The sun pours in.

Under the sky, the red helmet strowels stroking in the wind.

The tall figure walked across the deck, Zhou Yu stood on the bow of the ship with a fist in one hand and the hilt of the sword in the other, looking at the horizon connecting heaven and earth in the distance, the white bird flapped its wings and flew past from the line of sight, with a solemn face.

The sea breeze blew and the sails swelled, and he turned around, and his cloak rolled and unfurled in the wind.

"After Chibi, I haven't fought a decent water battle, but I didn't expect the first battle I came to life to fight was a naval battle."

The voice drifted far away in the wind, and the heavily armed soldiers moved neatly, and stood on the board with their feet firmly on the board and looked at him solemnly, and no one laughed at the moment.

Zhou Yu slowly pulled out the sword at his waist, reflecting in the sunlight.

Flashed out of the icy cold.

"Sergeants, let this Wu warship know that we not only have brave and warlike cavalry, but also heroic men who are good at water warfare, and tell them that the multi-day drill will be used at this time to start a war-"

Boom!

Knock knock!

The sound of war drums sounded suddenly, the seabirds flew and circled higher, the line of sight looked down, the undulating sea, the water was sparkling, and the dense warships were in the high-pitched sound, and the waves were pushed away layer by layer under the boat, and they rushed to the several warships of Wu that also met on the opposite side.

A moment later, the four sea ships where Gan Ning and Elsa were located fiercely pounced on each other.

The hull of the ship was staggered, the arrows were like locusts, densely coming and going in the air, mixed with iron bullets and smashing towards the other party, grazing the opponent's mast, falling to the other side of the Wu warship, splashing a three-zhang high wave.

Arrows with flames continued to shoot from the hands of the archers on both sides of the ship tower to the other party's sails, in the summer sun, iron bullets mixed in it, flying over a distance, right in the middle of the ship of Wu Guohai's ship, sawdust splashed everywhere, the grate plate broke apart, and the ship building shook under inertia.

More than a dozen Wu archers were thrown into the water or on the deck in the shaking of the ship. On the deck, the soldiers of Wu Guo ran swiftly, pushed the ballista up, and gave two ballistas to the Xia State warship in front of him.

The thick arrow was in the middle of the hull and was inserted into the side of the hull, and the other arrow penetrated the Xia soldiers who were adjusting the position of the iron cannon, and the two soldiers behind were interspersed on the arrow.

The field of vision was pushed away, and the four Xia warships accompanied each other and intertwined and parallel with the same number of Wu warships, and from time to time there were single iron bullets mixed with the rain of arrows and arrows and flew out, and the Dongwu ships that came from the swim shot over, and if they were lucky, they directly pierced the hull through a hole, but more of them still smashed on the deck, or fell into the water.

"Order the three pavilions on the left flank, let Elsa's escort ship abandon the opponent in front of him, reinforce the Gan Ning side, and flank the Wu warship!" Zhou Yu saw the battlefield in the flagship, gave an order, and kept his eyes on the warship with the word 'Gan' flag in front of him, as well as the movement trajectory of the warship of the Wu State on the surrounding sea.

Naval warfare is different from the river warfare in the past, and it is basically impossible for a small boat like a warship to fight at sea, and when a big wave comes, even people and boats have to fall into the water.

In place of the shipwreckage are medium-sized ships such as frigates.

The sunlight slanted slightly from the height of the gate ship, and the escort ship of the two warships on Elsa's side had already received the order, abandoned the opponent and suddenly turned around, and pounced on the opponent behind Gan Ning.

The Wu warship over there also seemed to have noticed that an enemy ship was approaching behind it, and hurriedly turned the rudder, trying to turn the tail and turn the hull of the ship across the sea, but in the process of turning, Elsa's escort ship was already approaching.

The fiery arrows in the sky poured wildly, and the soldiers pushing the ballistas cut the ropes, and the strings pushed the arrows with a bang, shooting at the Wu boat on the opposite side.

Dense rockets accompanied the arrows to shoot on the hull, some were tied to the sails and ignited the guardrails, and then were extinguished by Wu Bing in time, some were directly nailed to the sails, and were blown by the sea breeze to ignite the flames, and the sail-wielding soldiers quickly lowered the sails and put out the fire, and there were also people who ran and fell down with several arrows in an instant, and screamed in pain for their companions to rescue.

"Close to the past! Stop these two! The red hair was flying, and Elsa saw that the pinching attack worked, and hurriedly commanded the ship to cross the front of the two Wu warships in front of her.

Almost in a close manner, the soldiers on the ships on both sides of the ship, hiding behind the baffles and shields, poked out dozens of spears and poked at the Wu soldiers on the opposite side.

There were also soldiers who lit rockets and rushed out of the hatch, stood on the side of the ship and fired at the other side, nailing them to the hull, cowhide, or human body on the opposite side, and igniting flames in the terrible screams.

The arrows on the other side of the Wu boat flew and almost passed by Elsa, she pulled out the war knife at her waist, and left the command of the ship, she pushed a somewhat crooked iron cannon, and with all her strength, pushed it to the side of the ship, and her own soldiers rushed over, broke the fire and lit the fuse.

"Give you a ride!" Elsa fixed the cannon with both hands, and the whole person almost fell on her stomach.

The next second.

Bang!

The muzzle of the cannon was gushing out, the smoke was filled, and the iron bullets whistled out, so close at a distance, there was no need to aim at all, and it hit directly under the hull of the Wu ship on the opposite side.

A huge hole is exposed.

A large amount of seawater invaded the hole, and in less than a moment, the Wu ship began to pour, sinking extremely fast, and only a few breaths away, only half of it was left on the surface of the water.

As well as Wu soldiers swimming on the sea, as the river undulated, Elsa immediately ordered to continue moving forward, pushing past these Wu soldiers who were calling for help.

"If Lu Meng is here, it would be nice to have one more helper, Huang Gai, Ding Feng, Xu Sheng, and Han Dang are also good." Zhou Yu lamented the lack of manpower, "If it goes on like this, it will be too troublesome." ”

Yuwen Chengdu, who was observing the naval battle over there, turned his head to look at him, and looked at the battlefield for a while, as a military general, he had a natural sense of smell, and nodded: "It's really too troublesome." ”

Zhou Yu didn't respond, and raised his hand: "Let the red-haired barbarian Barry's warship move closer to me-"

Soon, two warships came from the side and rear, separated by three feet, and Yuwen Chengdu had already picked up his long soldier, one of them ran away, jumped on the side of the ship, and flew to the hull of the opposite ship.

On the deck over there, hundreds of figures stood up silently, these people were specially trained sea warriors, maybe they couldn't compare to the foot soldiers of Xia Guo in horseback combat, but on the water, they were even more ferocious.

"Sail the boat and go around the rear!" Elsa's brother, the red-haired brute named Barry, is now the commander of the two ships, and he roars with his axe as the two ships set sail again.

On the deck, the soldiers abandoned their spears and iron guns, took off their leather armor, wore only their clothes and trousers, bare feet, and carried a steel knife and leaned against the guardrail of the ship's side in a half-squatting posture

The two large ships bypassed the warships in front of them and rode out of the wind and waves.

…….

Under the word 'Gan'.

Gan Ning only wore leather armor, a pair of steps, standing on the deck and watching the whole battle, his body was trembling slightly, he was the first naval battle, although there were only two warships, but these two warships were placed on the Yangtze River in Dongwu back then, and they were already considered behemoths.

And many times, he can only charge into battle as a fierce general, and now he finally commands in the center like a real general.

As a former Jinfan thief, he was actually very satisfied with the arrival of Jiangdong, but now he naturally has nothing to say, naval battle, just thinking about it, he feels that the blood in his veins seems to be burning.

Sweeping over the warship, the Wu ship under the attack was already burning, and at this time there was no need to pay attention to it, but to focus on the other one.

However, just as he looked to the right flank, in the afterglow, he suddenly noticed that Wu Chuan was approaching him in front of him.

"It's ...... Coming at me? Gan Ning touched the beard under his chin, and when the other party got closer and closer, he could vaguely see a man in red and armor on the side of the ship headed by him.

The corners of his lips hooked, and he ordered: "Let him lean over, his hands are itching!" ”

Immediately, he pulled out the two knives at his waist and twisted his neck, making a 'click' sound from his bones.

The waves cracked under the fast-moving boat, and on the bumpy and undulating Wu boat, Wu Jiang named Sun Qi stepped on the bow with one foot, a pair of eyes were majestic and solemn, and the helmet fluttered backwards in the wind, holding a big gun and looking at the oncoming Xia warship, the corners of his mouth also turned into a palpitating smile.

"Lean inβ€”"

The moment the spears of hundreds of Wu soldiers on the deck behind him were set up like a forest, the ballistas placed on the side of the ship corrected the angle, and the Xia warship leaned over, and the moment it staggered with the side of the ship, the soldiers on both sides of the ship brandished their spears, drew their bows and shot arrows, and the ballistas bombarded each other.

General Wu licked Sun Qi's lips, and was about to rush to the opposite warship with a big gun, "What?!" ”

The next moment, in the shaking sight, a figure jumped high, and two swords slashed out and fell fiercely towards Wu Bing on the boat.

Before many people could react, several heads rose to the sky, waving their double knives, staggering this spear array, and people fell to both sides of the hull like raindrops, Gan Ning stepped on the deck and clashed in the crowd, he glanced at General Wu who was holding a gun over there, with a disdainful look, just under the nose of the other party, and rushed into the cabin.

Sun Qi didn't react yet, only heard the sound of ping-pong in the cabin, he rushed to the hatch, the figures inside were chaotic, and the corpses of Wu Bing killed inside were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river.

Some of the bodies were hung with hatches facing outward, or they crashed through bulkheads and fell into the water.

"Haha, the double knife is so happy!"

Gan Ning smashed the middle hatch with a kick, touched his two knives, and slaughtered the soldiers inside again, all the way to the stern of the ship, and the last soldier didn't wait for the other party to kill, one turned around and jumped straight into the water.

And that Wu killed Sun Qi with a big gun, looking at the corpse marks all over the cabin, he roared angrily: "The surname is Gan, I am Jiangdong Sun Qi, you can know me!! ”

The big gun swung away, and the head of the gun plunged into the nearby plank, and he pulled it out a few times, only to find that the head of the gun had pierced through the plank and was stuck outside.

Sun Qi: "......"

Gan Ning held a knife flower in both hands, with a hideous smile on the corner of his mouth, walked step by step, and then accelerated his pace, and turned into an afterimage and killed directly in front of the other party!

"Shameless...... Wait...... Wait a minute......" Sun Qi pulled out the handle of the gun again in a panic, and was brought down by the gun along with the plank, but the sharp tail of the gun was inserted into the plank next to the hatch on the other side.

His eyes widened suddenly, and he quickly released the handle of the gun and waved his hand.

"I surrender!"

"Get out!"

What answered him was that Gan Ning roared angrily, and the blade was slashed down.

Time passes little by little,

Zhao Kuian, who was on the other side of the Wu State warship, listened to the report and knew that Sun Qi, the fierce general in the water who was sent out, had been killed in battle, but he must have been able to defeat the other general.

He raised his hand and held up a finger.

"Send four more warships!"

"Send two more ...... ships"

Sweeping his eyes across the battlefield, he noticed the two Xia warships that suddenly appeared on the flanks, and at the same time, there were two Xia warships wandering around on the flanks of the warships, making a state of attacking at any time.

"Defend the flagship, close the formation!" Zhao Kuian's decision was immediately given.

Naval warfare is different from land fighting, there is no terrain to rely on, and this kind of thing is a great risk in naval warfare, and once it is not successful, there is basically no way to retreat.

Before he sent Sun Qi with the intention of changing his son, the Xia Kingdom had few warships and few generals, and once he changed his son, the situation became not optimistic.

I didn't expect the other general's general to make such a move.

Watching the two Xia Kingdom warships rushing towards this side with the wind and waves. The four Wu ships ordered by Zhao Kuian began to make roundabout movements, two went over to intercept, and two sailed to the two wings of the flagship to guard the flanks to prevent the other party from being closely entangled.

Yuwen Chengdu stood on the boat, lightly grabbed a feather arrow in the air, and then pinched it into two sections.

"Ignore it, just get closer!"

Barry nodded, as a person who begged for a living at sea, he might not dare to say that he was skilled in naval warfare, but the ship was absolutely second to none, he observed the Wu ships intercepted on the left and right, and observed the distance that could be traveled with just his eyes.

"Adjust the sails and speed up your way through! Let the other ship entangle them. ”

…….

There was a huge gap between the two Wu ships that intercepted, and even if they gradually closed, they were passed through the middle by the Xia warship that was speeding up.

Zhao Kuian, who was on the flagship, saw this scene, his expression suddenly became serious, obviously surprised by the person who was driving this warship, and in the next second, Yuwen Chengdu waved the phoenix wings and smashed the dense arrows away.

"Hahaha-"

"β€”you're done!"

The phoenix wings and gold hammer stopped, Yuwen Chengdu stood on the bow of the ship and laughed, and the big ship under him took the first step at the moment when the opponent's escort ship came over, and approached the flagship of Wu on the opposite side.

At a distance of four or five feet, the armor leaves on his body rubbed, his legs bent, and the deck under his feet 'boomed', and the whole person rushed into the air, rowed above the escort ship, and his feet were still stepping on the opponent's mast, and his body turned around, diving down like a cannonball.

Zhao Kuian's eyes widened, and he hurriedly retreated, looking at the ever-enlarged figure at the bottom of his eyes, and shouted in horror.

"Don't come hereβ€”"

Around, the guards rushed up, and the cannonball-like figures roared down, with a 'bang', the deck shook violently, and more than a dozen guards flew out in all directions, smashed on the guardrail, or fell into the sea.

Zhao Kuian stretched out his hand to pull out the knife, and on the other side, Yuwen Chengdu stretched out his hand, pushed the back of his hand, and inserted the half-pulled knife back into the sheath.

"Surrender or die!"

It's not just threatening words, it's really going to kill him.

"Cast ......"

"Surrender ......"

Zhao Kuian squeezed out this voice with difficulty.
