Chapter 450: Water Battle

Gan Jing glanced coldly at the battleship where the Tai River was located, and muttered disdainfully: "A group of rabble!" Immediately, Gan Jing slashed the two guns in his hand into the air, and turned his head to shout at the Qilin elites under his command: "Destroy them!"

Tens of thousands of Qilin elites immediately raised the horse chopping knives in their hands, and let out a short roar in unison, as if they were challenging the Wei army. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the next moment, led by Gan Jing's Qilin battleship, all the warships of the Qilin Navy above the rank of the warlord, equipped with red-clothed ballistas, opened fire at the same time, and hundreds of red-clothed ballistas emitted a dense clanging sound, and nearly 10,000 crossbows roared away from the cannon tips and shot towards the Wei army under the command of the Tai River.

The Tai River Command is more than a thousand steps away from Gan Jing's Qilin Navy, such a distance should be a safe distance on the surface of the Yellow River, but in the face of advanced weapons such as red-clothed ballistas, a thousand steps is obviously not enough to ensure the safety of Tai He and others. For the first time since its inception, the redcoat ballista has shown its important role as an ultra-long-range weapon in such a large-scale water battle.

Looking at the powerful crossbows that shot from the sky, Tai He felt extremely shocked in his heart. The name of the red-clothed ballista has been heard of by Taihe many times, but it is the first time he has seen it with his own eyes. As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, when he witnessed the power of the red-clothed ballista at a distance of a thousand steps, he really realized how terrible the red-clothed ballista was.

"Raise your shield, raise your shield quickly, spread out your formation, don't get together!" Tai He shouted hoarsely, trying to use his shout to reduce some casualties among his subordinates. There is no other way to do the Tay River now, and the flexibility of warships is definitely much worse than that of warhorses on the water than on land. It is impossible to dodge all the red-clothed crossbows, so Taihe's shouts are extremely powerless. In fact, what Taihe didn't know was that when everyone faced the red-clothed ballista for the first time, almost all of them would command the troops according to the conventional method of dodging arrows, raising shields to protect them while evacuating the formation, but under the intensive ultra-long-range shooting of the red-clothed crossbows, the results that this method could receive were close to zero. This is already something that countless people have verified with their lives and blood.

Nearly 10,000 crossbows fell in the air, with huge inertia, each red-clothed crossbow had a strong impact, fiercely impacting the warship of the Wei army, the Wei army standing on the warship was limited by the area of the warship's deck, and it was impossible to carry out a wide range of tossing and turning, and could only try their best to dodge the shot crossbow in a limited space, but no matter how much they dodged, the area of the deck was only so large. Nearly one-third of the warships in the forefront of the Wei army's water array were all included in the sky full of red-clothed crossbows, and it was not easy to survive in the cracks of tens of thousands of crossbows?

Thereupon. On the warships at the forefront of the Wei army's water array, all kinds of sounds were endless. The sound of the crossbow piercing the body, the sound of the ship's hull being destroyed, the screams of the Wei army, the popping of soldiers who lost their balance and fell into the Yellow River after being hit, and the gurgling sound of the water of the Yellow River pouring into the warship along the hole pierced by the crossbow...... A wide variety of voices converge. On the surface of the Yellow River, a requiem sounded like a hell on earth.

The Qilin Navy's fierce crossbow firing achieved good results: under this round of fierce fire, thousands of people of the Wei Army's naval army were hit, and they fell into the Yellow River along both sides of the hull, becoming the soul of the river. There are also many warships because they are not solid enough, and they were directly destroyed by the red-clothed crossbow, resulting in a large number of Wei soldiers falling into the water, among which there are some unlucky Wei soldiers who had a hope of escaping, but unfortunately their fate was not good, and they were hit by the mast or other heavy objects that broke off from their own hull, and they were swallowed by the roaring waves of the Yellow River without breathing. Or he was hit in the head and fell directly into a coma, and along with the mast, he fell to the bottom of the river in a straight line.

Gan Jing saw that the red-clothed ballista could play such a huge role in a large-scale water battle, and her eyes suddenly shot out with excitement, and she waved her arms and shouted: "Continuously activate the red-clothed ballista!"

Tens of thousands of Qilin sailors let out a shout in unison, and then according to Gan Jing's order, the Qilin elites who were responsible for loading the crossbows completed the loading as quickly as possible, and then quickly changed positions, giving up the operation of the red-clothed ballistas to the comrades behind them;

At the same time that the first round of crossbows caused damage to the Wei army's naval army, the team with foot pedals and treading water forward machinery had already driven a distance of nearly 100 steps on the river, so when they launched the second round of artillery bombardment, the range of the red-clothed crossbow was shortened a lot, and it was already possible to carry out long-range strikes on the Chinese army where the Tai River was located.

Seeing that nearly 10,000 powerful crossbows were coming through the air, Tai He couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart, and a trace of bitterness appeared on his face. In the case that the warship, the quality of the soldiers, and the long-range weapons are not as good as the opponent, it is simply difficult for the Taihe River to defeat the Qilin Naval Army. What's more, in the field of water warfare, the Tai River cannot be called a "smart woman".

However, Tae soon had no time to think about these questions, because the red-clad crossbow had already reached the top of his head, and if he didn't dodge, he would become a live target. The cat threw two steps forward, Tae dodged a javelin-shaped crossbow, and then slashed to the side with the knife in his hand, knocking away the other crossbow, and then kicked his right leg the deck, driving his body to the left side, rolling twice on the spot, avoiding the third crossbow that shot at him. After dodging three crossbows in succession, the dense group of crossbows was also nearing the end, and when Tai He stood up and glanced around him, the bitterness on his face became even stronger. Because Taihe found that within his sight, none of the dozens of warships under his command were intact, and even the giant warships under his feet had become full of holes, seeping water everywhere, and it would not take long for it to become a wrecked shipwreck.

That's not all, under the second round of crossbow shooting, the entire naval battle array has almost been destroyed. The front army and the middle army have been defeated, and there is no formation to speak of, only the rear army still maintains a battle formation for the time being, as long as the Qilin water army has another round of shooting, the rear army will definitely be difficult to preserve. In addition to the damage of the warship, the personnel damage was also very heavy, the Chinese army and the front army totaled 15,000 people, most of these people were shot by the crossbow in red clothes, and only a small half fell into the water of the Yellow River, and this small half of them were among them. Half of them were hit by the fallen mast and lost their ability to swim and died at the bottom of the river, and the Wei soldiers who are now swimming back are roughly estimated to be less than 3,000. The death of a large number of Wei soldiers has dyed the surface of the Yellow River red, like a special grape wine in the snowy region.

Tai He sighed helplessly, then threw away his weapon and jumped into the Yellow River. He knew that if he didn't leave the broken warship now, when the warship sank, it would bring an irresistible whirlpool, and he would not be able to leave if he wanted to leave at that time. After jumping into the water. A stream of river water, filled with the rich smell of blood and mixed with a large amount of yellow sand, poured into the mouth of the Tai River, making the bitterness and helplessness in his heart even stronger.

Seeing that the Tai River abandoned the ship and jumped into the water, Gan Jing stood on the Qilin battleship and let out a burst of laughter, being able to force the opponent's main general to this extent without effort, this battle is simply too enjoyable.

After laughing, Gan Jing put away her smile and said solemnly: "Speed up! Rush over, knock over the wreckage of the enemy army, and chisel through their rear army with a slap stick!"

Under Gan Jing's order, the Qilin Naval Army was led by the Qilin battleship, and all the giant building ships and warships were lined up together, forming the most chargeable arrow formation in land warfare, increasing the speed to the limit, with a strong impact, with the top of the bow installed, and slammed into the Wei warship that was slowly sinking.

The warships piloted by the Qilin Navy were all designed by Yuan Qi based on the warships of later generations, and they had outstanding abilities in resisting attacks and resisting whirlpools. Therefore, Gan Jing was not afraid that the collision would cause any damage to his subordinate ships, and launched a strong attack on the Wei army in the most savage and direct way.

The already shattered warship of the Wei army let out an overwhelmed moan under the collision of the warship piloted by the Qilin Navy, and then it was completely shattered by the collision, turning into piles of rotten wood floating on the water.

Rushing past the dilapidated battleship group of the Wei army, Gan Jing's Qilin battleship was the first to come to the water array of the Wei army's rear army. With a bloodthirsty fierce light in his eyes, Gan Jing yelled at the soldiers who had already prepared: "Smash them!"

The elite of the unicorn guarding the lever immediately untied the cow tendon on the lever, and the iron power wood lever suspended in the air, after losing the control of the cow tendon, fell from a high altitude with a roar, just like the tower crane that was common on the construction site in later generations, suddenly lost control, and fell rapidly towards the water with an amazing momentum.

The twelve poles fell fiercely in all directions, and the people on the Wei warship looked at the rapidly falling poles in horror, and they didn't even have the strength to move their legs to dodge, and the courage had completely disappeared from their bodies, like the collapsed poles of the heavenly pillars, depriving them of all their courage.

Boom, boom, boom

Under the heavy impact of the slap rod, the six Wei warships around the Qilin battleship were smashed at the same time, and the wooden hull immediately collapsed.

He had just swam back to the nearby Tay River, and was swept into the air by the waves set off by the residual force of the racket, and his figure was clearly seen by Zuo Ci standing on the giant building boat, Zuo Ci immediately drew his bow and arrow, and shot a fatal arrow at the Tai River, which had nowhere to borrow his strength in the air.

Poof――

Zuo Ci's sharp arrow accurately hit the heart of Taihe, making Taihe, a famous general who has been powerful in Qingzhou for nearly 20 years in history, become another wisp of soul buried in the Yellow River.
