Chapter Seventy-Two: The Enemy Fails to Scratch Our Armor

In this day and age, ship collision is always the only way to fight in the water.

However, Ling Tong found that this was not a level of competition at all, his flagship was obviously strong, but the strength of the opponent's warship far exceeded his own.

On the touch, his flagship was being pushed back by the battleship, and if nothing was done, it would soon break off in the middle.

In the wind and waves, Ling Tong was so angry that he couldn't stop shouting: "Abandon the ship, abandon the ship!" ”

The soldiers on the flagship jumped under the water one after another, and the rowman at the stern of the boat wanted to work harder, and the angry Ling Tong scolded: "Run!" Don't you run and wait for death! ”

Then the oarsmen jumped out of the boat.

Before Ling Tong jumped ship, he glanced at the clippers heading to the sides.

As in the previous fight against Xiahou Yuan, once the clipper rushed to the sides of the giant ship, the clipper on the left side would throw a hook lock to hook the giant ship, trying to make it tilt.

But before the hook could be thrown, the plates on both sides of the giant ship suddenly moved.

"Slap the pole?"

Ling Tong's eyes widened, and his eyes were bloodshot.

When he was far away, he thought that the oars hanging on the sides of the giant ship were some kind of oars, but now he realized that they were actually used to shoot boats.

With a "bang", a clipper was hit by a slap stick, the hull of the ship directly overturned, the bottom of the boat was facing up, and the soldiers scattered into the river.

"Bang bang bang!"

The clapsticks on both sides of the giant ship kept rising and falling, and the power of a thousand guns overturned one clipper after another.

The soldier who was running slowly was shot, flattened on the spot, fell into the water, and saw that he could not survive.

"How is this possible......"

At the age of fifteen, Ling Tong fought on the battlefield to retrieve his father's body from the chaos.

Over the years, he has experienced numerous water battles.

But he had never seen such a method of warfare, and it only took one or the first time to shoot the rod, and several soldiers were killed and dozens fell into the water.

With so many beats, what did the enemy use to make them turn?

I don't care about this, the cold winter wax moon, the river water is cold and biting, if you can't return to the boat quickly, there is only one ending waiting for the soldiers in the water.

Ling Tong looked around, except for the deputy general, there were no soldiers on his flagship.

He grabbed the horn and blew it with all his might.

"Whew-"

The sound of the horn resounded across the river, and every soldier fluttering in the water heard it.

That's — a clarion call to attack.

Ling Tong climbed onto the mast of his flagship with a long knife in his hand, and then leaped from the flagship onto the enemy giant ship.

The moment he landed, he clearly felt how big this battleship really was.

He was on it, as if he were walking on the ground.

When the soldiers in the water heard the horn, they all climbed up the giant ship, and this time the gangside jumped into a boat after diving.

But Ling Tong was not afraid, he had just never seen such an attack, but he would never be afraid of it.

With the long knife in hand, Ling unified his knife and hacked a sailor to death, and then rushed forward, and saw a woman sitting on the battle tower of the giant ship.

In Cao Ying's army, there are women? Look at that position, it's still the position of the commander of the Chinese army!

He didn't have any idea of pity for the jade, and after walking a few steps, he was about to go upstairs.

Suddenly, a large axe slashed out of the shadows, causing him to retreat in fright.

I saw a big man holding a pear blossom axe, and snorted coldly: "Your grandfather Xu Gongming has been waiting for you for a long time!" ”

Ling Tong mustered up all his strength, raised his long knife and fought with Xu Huang.

In the distance, Cao Cao sat on the battle tower of another five-tooth ship, and there were also guards Xu Chu and strategists Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu, a total of four people.

Seeing that the enemy's clipper formation was easily broken by the five-tooth ship, Cao Cao laughed and said, "Yuan He, what do you think of this ship?" ”

Jia Xu bowed his head respectfully and said: "Jiaolong in the river, it is difficult to defeat this ship!" ”

Cao Cao's eyes were scorching, and he stretched out three fingers and said: "Such a ship, a maid in Beifu helped Gu build three!" ”

Rao is Jia Xu is well-informed, and when he hears such a thing, he also feels a lot of emotion.

He arrived at Cao Ying late, everything is based on self-preservation, these few days ago, I have never heard of the general of Beifu have such a ability, until today I know that this Beifu Cao Wu is actually a pillar hidden behind the scenes.

And he observed Xun You and Cheng Yu, two people who entered the Cao camp earlier, and found that they had already prepared, and couldn't help sighing.

After setting out from Jiangling, he repeatedly persuaded Cao Cao to slow down and train the navy, because he was afraid that Zhou Yu's navy would be powerful.

Who would have thought that Cao Ying had such a sharp weapon as a five-tooth ship, and with the power of a boat, he overturned a fleet, which was beyond his imagination.

Jia Xu sighed: "General Beifu takes precautions, admire it!" ”

Cao Cao twisted his beard and laughed heartily: "Gongda, if there is a ship like this, do you still need to press the whole army?" ”

Xun You said happily: "I don't need it." However, unless the opponent is completely defeated, our army still needs to be cautious! ”

Cao Cao nodded and ordered to go down, this time the battle was won, and the army pursued and killed together, but not too deep, in case the enemy counterattacked.

After all, in this formation, both sides are just tentative, and the main force has not yet been sent to fight.

On the other side, the bow of the flagship, where Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, and Pang Tong were together, was extremely quiet.

At first, the four smart people were still communicating with each other, and when the slapstick came out and the clippers were overturned, the four of them fell silent and stopped talking.

This battleship completely surpasses their perception of water warfare, which is not something that command skills and soldier bravery can compete with.

It is a monster born for water warfare, and the current Jiangdong Navy will either take countless lives to fill it, or it can only flee from the wind.

It's all over, the tired enemy and the trick of luring the enemy that we discussed yesterday, such a good tactic, it's all over.

The enemy doesn't need to make any arrangements at all, just swing those three battleships forward, and they won't be able to break through the opponent's defenses at all, so how can they eat the opponent's living force little by little?

The four of them all stared at each other, or Lu Meng said first: "Governor...... Otherwise, we will retreat to Xiakou, and then rely on the defense of Xiakou City to fight a decisive battle with Cao Thief? ”

Lu Xun said: "However, if it is a defensive battle, the advantages of our army's naval army will not be able to give full play to ......."

Lu Meng said dryly: "Do we still have the advantage of a water army?" ”

The four were silent again.

Zhou Yu ignored the dispute between the two, observed intently, continued to deduce in his heart, and finally cheered up and gave the order again.

As the Lingqi rolled, Huang Gai, Dong Xi, and Chen Wu each led a fleet to set off.

Their purpose was not to save the Wuya battleship, but to rescue Ling Tong.

The main force of Zhou Yu's army, instead of retreating, advanced, followed the three fleets forward, arranged in a backward arrow array, ready to meet the three fleets and withdraw directly.

Pang Tong said: "Will Cao Jun let us withdraw?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Yes." Our army still remains the same as before, fighting while withdrawing! ”

This battle was a mutual temptation, and he was sure that if Cao Cao was a wise commander, he would not press the main force during the temptation.

……

"Dang!"

After the blade exchange, Ling Tong and Xu Huang separated, and the two of them each gasped.

Some of Ling Tong's soldiers on the deck also climbed up, and Xu Huang's soldiers immediately went up to fight.

However, none of the soldiers dared to join the two generals' battle bands.

Xu Huang shouted: "Ling Tong, today's ship is your burial place!" ”

Ling Tong's eyes were gloomy, and he caught a glimpse of his soldiers who had died one by one.

They are all good hands in the river, and they are far more powerful than the enemy on the deck, but this big ship does not shake at all, and the soldiers of Cao Ying can play their best if they walk on the ground.

Ling Tong knew that he had already lost this trial battle, and the defeat was worse than that of Xiahou Yuan.

More than two dozen ships came out, and none of them were brought back.

"I have no face to go back to see the lord, I took you Xu Huang today, and it is not in vain that I came to the world to go through it!"

Ling Tong was ruthless, wanting to continue moving forward, but suddenly there was a crisp sound, and a whistle arrow pierced the sky.

Ling Tong looked up, but saw that the veteran Huang Gai's ship had already sailed over.

Ling Tong was overjoyed, and hurriedly summoned: "Everyone, retreat!" Someone is here to pick it up! ”

At the same time, Dong Xi and Chen Wu's ships also fired whistle arrows.

Ling Tong made a decision, turned around and jumped directly into the river.

The sound of "plopping" sounded, and Ling Tongjun, who had finally boarded the bow of the boat, jumped down one after another.

However, only two or three out of ten people can go back alive.

Xu Huang looked left and right, knowing that if he didn't take Ling Tong again, he would lose the opportunity, and he was about to jump into the river to stop him, but he heard a crisp shout behind him.

"General Xu, don't worry about them, we still have a way!"

It was Cao Asi on the battle floor who was speaking.

Xu Huang collected the tomahawk and waited for her next.

Ah Si said something that Xu Huang didn't understand at all: "The enemy failed to scratch our armor. ”

After a short time, Huang Gai took Ling Tong, and all the ships did not like to fight, and hurriedly retreated.

Huang Gai was checking Ling Tong's injuries when suddenly there was a loud "bang".

A hole was smashed into the deck of his ship.

Huang Gai and Ling Tong turned back in fear, only to see that on top of the enemy warship, several trebuchets were aiming here.

Ling Tong was dizzy and fell to the ground angrily.

This battleship has such a sharp weapon!

The weapons used to siege the city were actually mounted on the battleship!
