Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2205 The Great Yan Navy is Trapped in a Deadly Trap; The Nine-Headed Insect Charges into Battle
"Brothers, follow me and kill!"

"Charge into Wudi City and rescue the Crown Prince!" On the warship, Xu You, who was nearly fifty years old, drew his sword and gave the order with imposing authority.

He wanted to hold off the enemy's two naval forces, preventing them from landing and intervening in the land battle, so that the cavalry could successfully rescue the prince.

Xu You and Zheng Zishan, the most valiant general in the navy, personally boarded the ship and fought at the front, greatly boosting the morale of the three armies and causing Shi Lang to suffer repeated defeats.

Even though Mo Peng led his troops to surround them from behind, Xu You still disregarded any damage and drove his warships to ram the Tianhe Navy's warships repeatedly.

Compared to the warships of the inland navy, the ocean-going ships were generally much larger in tonnage, so this method of ramming them would naturally put Shi Lang's side at a greater disadvantage.

Therefore, after suffering heavy casualties, he managed to break through the Tianhe Navy's blockade and reach the ferry crossing.

As long as the crossing can be held, the enemy will have nowhere to land. Therefore, it will be impossible to intervene in the land battle before they are defeated.

At that point, it will be much easier for the cavalry to rescue the Crown Prince. They might even be able to achieve something significant by defeating Fu Youde's forces.

However, when they looked at the Great Yan Navy, which had already secured the ferry crossing with its warships, both Shi Lang, whose fleet had been forcibly torn apart, and Mo Peng, who was chasing after them, revealed a cold smile.

"boom!"

As a large number of rockets suddenly shot towards the ferry crossing, the large amount of oil and flammable materials that had been pre-positioned there were ignited in an instant, even producing an explosion-like sound.

The small number of warships of the Great Yan Navy that had entered the ferry were instantly engulfed in flames. The surrounding flames spread towards their warships, and the thick black smoke made the soldiers on the warships cough. Some even fainted.

At the same time, Mo Peng's warships had already directly pursued and pressed forward against the Great Yan Navy, while the Tianhe Navy fleet, which had been scattered, immediately regrouped under Shi Lang's command.

Furthermore, Shi Lang not only regrouped, but also took the opportunity to spread out to the left and right flanks of Mo Pengyan's northern navy.

The two massive naval forces joined forces and completely surrounded the Great Yan navy from behind, blocking their retreat.

In front of the Great Yan Navy, the ferry crossing had been completely set ablaze.

Therefore, the Great Yan Navy is now in a state of no return.

There was no way around it; annihilating an entire navy was far too difficult. Even with twice the manpower, they couldn't achieve that, or even encircle the enemy.

After all, the sea is a network of interconnected routes, so even if you surround the other side, they can still break out from any direction if they want to.

Therefore, unless one takes advantage of special terrain such as islands on the sea, under normal circumstances, unless the disparity in troop strength is extremely large, there is not much that can be done against a single navy.

At least twice their number of troops is not enough here.

Mo Peng and Shi Lang's solution was to use the ferry crossing to cut off one of the enemy's retreat routes and block one direction, thus giving them the possibility of surrounding the enemy with minimal troops.

Even setting fire to the ferry crossing could conveniently eliminate a portion of the enemy's forces, relieving the pressure on them to annihilate the remaining enemy troops.

As for how they landed after burning down the ferry crossing?

Is this a big problem?
With so many landing points along the Tokaido, where can't they get off without this navy?
The entire Tokaido region, and at least the surrounding seas, will become their backyard.

As for Fu Youde's troops still on land, if they defend themselves, it won't be easy for the enemy to break through their defenses; they have enough time. The only problem is that if they annihilate the Great Yan navy and then land from another location, Xuan Yuan Xuan Xiao might escape from their grasp.

However, when Fu Youde failed to capture Wudi City immediately, the high command of the Fierce Whale Legion had already made preparations for it.

Once Xuanyuan Xuanxiao has held out until these 10,000 cavalry arrive, even if their 60,000 troops manage to land, it will be difficult to stop the enemy!
All they can do now is seize this opportunity to annihilate the Great Yan Navy.

Without this navy, the East China Sea battlefield will be completely opened up, and their troops will be able to attack from the east without any scruples.

"Liu Dong, Xia Hai!"

"Command the warships to ram them with all their might!"

"General Jiutao, lead the brothers and prepare to mount the bow and fight!"

"If we defeat the enemy Great Yan navy in this battle, I will personally recommend you for credit after the war!" On the warship, Mo Peng, who was nearly fifty years old, was in high spirits and gave orders to Liu Dong, Xia Hai, and Jiu Tao under his command.

Meanwhile, Liu Dong below was already thinking about how to arrest Xu You and his group.

After all, they were old brothers who had fought side by side back then, but they chose different paths. If possible, he didn't want to see these old brothers die on the battlefield.

"Charge them!" Xia Hai and Liu Dong jumped onto the two warships, one on the left and one on the right.

The two men set an example by directing their warships to ram directly into the enemy ships.

Both sides' warships are ocean-going vessels, so if they were to collide, they wouldn't suffer the same losses as the Tianhe Navy just now.

In fact, their advantage is even greater.

After all, Mo Peng's Yanbei Navy was equipped with eight treasure ships, which were generally larger than the enemy's main fleet.

"Yu Ben, Yu Ba, you two follow behind me!"

"Let's wipe out these little brats together!"

After the warships collided, Jiu Tao raised his crescent shovel and shouted to his two underlings behind him.

Then, he was the first to jump directly onto the enemy's warship.

With a flick of his crescent shovel, he sent more than a dozen enemy soldiers who were thrusting at him flying.

"Ding, Jiutao Martial God skill activated, Martial Power +4, base Martial Power 107, Crescent Shovel +1, current Martial Power increased to 112."

Yu Ben and Yu Ba behind him, although not particularly skilled, were still at least top-tier level in terms of strength, making it quite easy for them to deal with these lowly soldiers.

After all, naval soldiers are mostly lightly armored units, with very few heavily armored units. Dealing with them is naturally much easier.

Aside from the support staff and sailors, there were only about 500 combat-ready soldiers on this warship.

With the divine general Jiu Tao leading nearly a hundred soldiers, they stormed up and, in a short time, directly captured the warship and took control of it.
