Chapter 596
Wuxia Ameng, although he was unknown at this time, was a famous general who defeated and killed Guan Yu in the Three Kingdoms World, so he naturally would not let Gan Ning pass Liyang easily.
In fact, Lu Meng's method was not complicated, that is, he got some tree stumps for more than ten days in a row, tied them up with iron locks, and then nailed them to the Huai Shui.
At this time, it was the dry season in late autumn, and the current of Huaishui was not large, and the chains were continuous, and the draft of the battleship was deep, so it was just right to jam the bottom of the ship.
This plan is placed in the Yangtze River or the Han River and other big rivers, naturally it is useless, the water is too deep to nail down, but it is just right to use it here.
Downstream, looking at the chaotic warships on the water in front of him, Lu Meng's eyes burst out with a thick killing intent, and he said coldly: "Pass the order to go down and smash the Ben General with a thunderbolt to smash this group of enemy ships!"
When the order was laid, the trebuchet soldiers, who had already been lined up on the shore, began to load boulders in hanging baskets and pull the boom to strike fiercely at the battleships on the water.
LΓΌ Meng knew that the powerful crossbows of the Hao army were invincible in the world, and the position that the crossbow arrows of the Jiangdong army could reach, the Hao army could also shoot at it and the power was even greater, only the trebuchet could launch an attack hundreds of steps away and avoid the crossbow arrows of the Hao army.
Originally, the enemy ships were on the move, and it was extremely difficult to shoot them from the shore, but now more than 100 enemy ships are blocked on the water and cannot move, and the battleships have changed from moving targets to fixed targets, and the difficulty of shooting has suddenly dropped by a level.
More than a thousand trebuchets, as if they were practicing normally, shot at the battleship at will.
Meteor shower-like boulders roared away, adding to the already chaotic soldiers.
Gan Ning on the flagship, while swinging his halberd to block the attacking boulder, while shouting at the soldiers to break through the obstacle no matter what.
Dozens of soldiers from Jinfan Shuikou, who were extremely water-oriented, listened to Gan Ning's order, and jumped into the water one after another, trying to break down those obstacles and get the warship moving again.
But they soon found out in despair that the obstacles under the water were specially treated, even if they were cut with knives on the water, it would take a lot of effort, not to mention that there was nowhere to borrow their strength underwater.
The soldier who failed to remove the obstacle climbed onto the warship and informed Gan Ning of this unfortunate fact, and Gan Ning's heart immediately sank to the bottom.
Seeing this, although Gan Ning was unwilling, he had no choice but to give the order to blow the horn of the withdrawal of the troops, and ordered the whole army to lower the sails, turn the bow of the ship, and retreat upstream.
......
Haobai led a large army, and more than two or three thousand warships appeared on the river in the upper reaches of Liyang.
The battle flags of hunting and flying, covering the sky and the sun, and the endless sail shadows, overwhelmingly came, like dark clouds pressing down the river, stretching for dozens of miles.
"Report ~ General Gan was ambushed on the water surface of Liyang and retreated!"
Haobai stood proudly on the second-floor platform of the flagship, and at this time, a soldier hurriedly rushed up to the platform, rushed towards Haobai, and reported urgently.
"It's not easy!"
Lu Meng, just didn't expect that even Gan Ning would be taken off by him, and when Haobai listened carefully to the soldier's report, he couldn't help but show a strange look on his face.
"It seems that Wuxia Ameng is really not an idle person, but it is just the trend of the times, how can Lu Meng resist, but the mantis arm is just a car. β
The fleet continued to move forward, and soon saw Ganning's fleet retreating in a hurry, and Hao Bai ordered the soldiers behind him to pass the flag, and ordered the fleets to lower their sails, throw down the iron anchors, and stop advancing.
The angry Gan Ning boarded Haobai's flagship and reported to Haobai about the defeat in the water battle with a depressed face.
"Lu Meng, deceive me too much, I will kill him!" Gan Ning was still angry.
Haobai smiled faintly and said: "The iron lock Hengjiang, but the carving insect is a small skill ear, but it is just that Lu Meng'......"
Gan Ning immediately understood, and answered: "Please rest assured, as long as the iron lock of the Hengjiang River is broken, the last general will behead Lu Meng and return!"
Hao Bai said with a smile: "There are very few generals in our army, you have to capture Lu Meng alive, you must have all the tails, and you must not hurt a single hair of it." β
Gan Ning looked stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Then Lu Meng is very loyal to the Sun family, even if he is captured, how can he be willing to surrender!"
Haobai smiled and said, "Wuxia Ameng, now his status in Jiangdong is not high, and he can't be loyal!"
Gan Ning immediately responded: "The last general will obey the order!"
Downstream, hundreds of warships of the Jiangdong Army were spread out on the river, distributed in an orderly manner, and at a glance it was clear that people who were extremely good at water warfare were in control of the overall situation.
On the flagship, Lu Meng stood proudly with his sword, and the water battle two days earlier had greatly boosted his confidence.
He had vaguely seen clusters of sails appear, and he knew that it was the navy of the Hao army.
It's just that even if the Hao army has thousands of warships, as long as the front row is blocked, it will be difficult for the rear warships to advance, after all, this is not as good as the Jianghan River, and it can be detoured.
"Lou ship!" suddenly exclaimed someone next to him.
Lu Meng's face couldn't help but change drastically.
In the center of the fleet, there was a huge building ship, which was five stories high above and below, like a giant beast, floating on the river.
The big flag with the word "Hao" is proudly fluttering in the wind.
On the fifth deck, Gan Ning stood proudly with a three-pronged halberd in his hand.
The sound of the sailors' trumpets echoed in their ears, and the waves rolled beside the hull.
"The enemy army didn't see a building ship coming all the way, could this building ship fall from the sky?" Lu Meng had an incredible look on his face.
The building boat is a thing with a very low degree of balance, so the driving speed is also extremely slow, it is clear that the Hao army has not seen a building boat all the way since the battle of Fankou, if the speed of the building boat is from Fankou to Liyang, it is impossible to reach it without nearly a month, but suddenly a building boat appeared on the river, so how can Lu Meng figure it out.
Seeing that it was only more than a mile away from the iron lock of the Hengjiang River, Gan Ning raised his halberd with one move: "Raise the sails, all the sails are raised, there must be no mistakes! Speed up the boat, and those who dare to slack off will be killed!"
The sails were quickly raised to the mast, and the hundreds of sails on the building ship were all raised, and the hula drumming rose, and the huge sail sound was like rolling thunder, covering up everyone's voices, and they could only rely on the flag to transmit the news.
Riding the tide of the river, the boat suddenly increased its speed, set off a huge wave more than a foot high, and viciously slammed into the iron lock of Lu Meng's barrage.
The water was overturned, and the boat went faster and faster, and at last it approached the heavy iron locks, and slammed into it viciously like a mountain.
Thundered!
As soon as the building boat collided, several tree stumps fixed with iron locks on both sides suddenly rose into the air, and were driven to the surface by the iron locks, setting off a splash of skyrocketing water, and then pushed by the building boat with iron chains to drive forward in the water.
The iron lock crosses the river, and it is vulnerable before the building ship!
At this moment, the war drums of the Hao army behind suddenly roared, and the silent Hao army roared excitedly like chicken blood.
Gan Ning was even more excited, and ordered all the soldiers under his command to drive the behemoth under their feet to blast away, attacking the Jiangdong ship violently, and the battleship behind him also sailed forward and killed.
