Chapter 575
On the bank of the Hanshui River, the riverside is densely covered with circular tents, and a big banner with the word "Hao" is hunting and fluttering in the wind.
Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals stood surrounded by Haobai and horses, looking at Liu Jun facing the river, and the Han River was like a moat in front of the Hao army.
"It's coming!" suddenly Zhao Yun beside Haobai shouted.
Everyone looked up one after another, only to see that in the sky, a vast dark cloud was slowly approaching the Han River.
The cloud was moving so fast that it was a mile away in a matter of moments.
The eyes of Zhao Yun and the others suddenly flashed with excitement, and all the soldiers also cheered.
The dark clouds were none other than the shadows of the sails that obscured the sky.
Looking westward, I saw that on the wide river, hundreds of warships of all sizes were flowing eastward, and there were so many warships that there was no end in sight.
Battleships, fighting ships, ships, and ships...... All kinds of warships, to have everything, dazzling.
On the huge car and ship in the center, the big banner with the word "Gan" was fluttering high.
This fleet is the long-awaited naval army led by Gan Ning.
On the banks of the river, drums sounded, horns contended, and the continuous sound of horns sounded above the fleet, in harmony with it, and at the same time, thousands of warships slowly pulled down their sails, anchored and stopped their ships.
With the sound of drums and horns, Gan Ning waited to get off the boat ladder surrounded by a group of soldiers and rushed towards them.
Gan Ning, who is tall, dressed in a fiery red coat, wearing a splendid battle robe, and a few pheasant feathers on his helmet, is particularly eye-catching among the officers and soldiers of the navy.
Seeing the bells and whistles of Gan Ning, he bent down to Haobai: "The last general Gan Ning, meet the lord!"
Haobai laughed and helped him up: "Xingba came across the river and lake, and it was hard all the way, and the battle of Hanshui was all on Xingba's body." ”
Gan Ning smiled: "The last general can't wait, and he can't wait to fight immediately." ”
The generals also laughed and were fiercely proud.
The plan of the day was decided, the soldiers had a full meal for one night, and the next day, when it was just dawn, Gan Ning led the water army out of the water camp.
Thousands of warships drove out of the water gate in an orderly manner, and no other noise could be heard except for the sound of the slurry hitting the stream one after another, and the sound of the trumpets of the sailors as they exerted their strength.
These sailors of the vast army knew that a great battle that might exceed their imagination was about to begin, but their mood was extremely calm, and there was no trace of nervousness, as if everything that was about to start was just a pre-planned exercise.
Under the watchful eyes of all the officers and soldiers, more than 1,000 warships and tens of thousands of officers and men of the navy all sailed out of the water camp, formed an attack formation on the river, and slowly sailed towards the water camp on the opposite side.
Almost at the same time, the enemy water camp on the opposite side also moved, and the faint black dots were moving, and finally converged into a black and oppressive dark cloud, facing Gan Ning's fleet looking north.
It was Liu Bei's army, the wind came from the south, and the direction of the wind was not favorable to the Ganning army, but the army of Hao's army was several times that of Liu Bei, and the ships were more and bigger.
The sky was getting darker and darker, the sun was hidden in the clouds, and between the sky and the water, there was a vast gray and white.
The fleets of both sides are tense, and the battle is only in sight.
At this time, Haobai, who was standing and watching the battle, suddenly felt a trace of coldness on his face.
He subconsciously raised his head, but saw more and more water droplets falling on his face, it turned out to be raining.
It seems that today will not only be a water war, but also a big battle in the rain.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and soon beads fell from the dim sky like broken threads.
Although tens of thousands of soldiers were drenched in the rain, their hearts were hot, and the generosity and pride of hunting burst out, solemnly looking at the sailor robes on the river, and silently helping them to fight with this kind of action.
A water army in the rain is right in front of you.
Liu Jun doesn't have any generals in the navy, above their flagship, you are led by Liu, Guan, Zhang and Zhuge Liang.
Liu Bei, who was dressed in gilded leather armor, stood tall under the support of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the cloak behind him was blown by the river wind, which also looked quite majestic.
Zhuge Liang, who was beside Liu Bei, looked at the battleship that was coming from the black pressure on the opposite side, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "Lord, the enemy army has suddenly come with so many warships, and it is led by Gan Ning, who is good at water warfare, this battle is ......."
Guan Yu, who was on the side, sneered disdainfully: "I don't think so, what can they do, the battleship can be man-made, and the array can be beautiful, but the untrained navy will be defeated in a battle!"
They looked up and saw that under the banner of the word "Gan" that was hunting in the wind, a tall warrior in a colorful and green robe was standing proudly on the deck.
Guan Yu suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Sure enough, it's him, the Jinfan thief Gan Ning, who was born in the water, although Gan Ning once crisscrossed the rivers and Hans, but it was nothing more than robbing the shipman, and now he dares to lead a group of rabble to come to fight with our navy, it's really a joke!"
Liu Bei also nodded, quite agreed with Guan Yu's words, directly drew his sword, and shouted loudly: "Now that our army occupies the advantage of the wind, set sail, accelerate forward, kill the enemy army early, don't delay lunch!"
The sentence "Don't delay the lunch" greatly boosted the morale of all the Liu Army soldiers, and as a flag was passed on, the sails were pulled high, and the wind hunted and drummed, and hundreds of Liu Army warships, facing the Hao Army battleship group, viciously crashed over.
Gan Ning, who was on the flagship opposite, also showed a disdainful smile: "No general of the water army dares to despise us and others, they simply don't know whether they are alive or dead." ”
He turned his head suddenly, and also shouted: "Speed up, don't mess up the formation, prepare the crossbow, and prepare to fight!"
The rain is getting heavier, and above the cars, boats, and ships, the big flag with the word "Gan" is messy in the wind and rain.
Head-on, countless enemy giant ships appeared and disappeared in the rain and fog, and the momentum was extremely huge.
Water warfare, with the bow and crossbow as the most important weapon, the fighting ship is tall, not only carries a lot of troops, and the relatively low battleship has the advantage of condescending and dive, and more importantly, the fighting ship itself is a weapon, if the hull is strong and tall, you can knock the opponent over directly without fighting.
Gan Ning clenched the trident in his hand tightly, this trident was a chrome steel war halberd given to him by Haobai, Gan Ning had only heard of the sword that sharpened iron like clay, and never thought that there would be a war halberd with iron like clay in this world, which was naturally very precious, and regarded it as life.
He stared coldly at the approaching enemy fleet in the rain and mist, but a sneer rolled into the corner of his mouth.
He knew that although Liu Jun's battleships were good, they were more than one cut worse than their warships, not to mention the degree of strength, but the power alone was a big difference.
In a matter of moments, the ships of both sides entered the battle distance.
