Great Military Division

Chapter 491 Gan Ning, Xingba!
"Ouch."

Staring at the galloping battleships and the spread wings of the entire battleship group, Sun Jian couldn't help being amazed: "Cai Mao is indeed the commander of the Jingxiang Navy, and he really has a lot of tricks."

"He is trying to attract our attention, and then completely surround and kill our army. I have to admit that he is full of ambitions and methods are not bad, but it is a pity that he met me, Sun Jian."

"The order!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Sun Jian ordered: "According to the second plan, hit me hard! Let them taste our strength. The Nanyang navy is the real king of water warfare."

The messenger bowed his body and bowed his hands: "Here."

the next moment.

On the mast, red and green flags flashed.

At the same time, the sound of beating drums sounded one after another.

These are all signals to the rest of the fleet to attack.

but see
Dozens of warships rushed forward quickly.

While the distance between the two sides was getting closer, two or three loud noises sounded on the river.

Pong!Pong!Pong!
This is the sound made by the tremor of the bowstring of the ballista.

Of course, today's ballista is definitely not the previous ballista, but a real ballista.

Because on the shaft of the crossbow arrow, Sun Jian tied the Fuhuo Thunderbolt to it, and after igniting it, he shot it out.

Although this will slightly affect the effective range, the lethality will be greatly improved.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

There were successive explosions.

Hundreds of water jets, mixed with fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs, were stirred up several feet high, and some warships were even torn apart in an instant. With the sound of explosions, heavenly maidens scattered flowers on the river.

The soldiers of the Jingxiang Navy were completely dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that there was such a huge difference between today's ballista and the ballista five days ago.

At best, the ballista five days ago could penetrate the hull of the ship, and then with the help of huge force and the panic of the soldiers, the battleship fell and sank into the river.

But
Today's ballista is a ballista with Fuhuo Leiting attached. Not only does it have the effect that a ballista should have, it even blows up the sky, and the hull of the ship explodes in an instant, without giving them the slightest chance to react.

"Load the ballista."

"complete!"

"complete!"

"complete!"

"."

"put!"

Pong!Pong!Pong!
A row of crossbow arrows was like a cyan streamer. After drawing a straight cyan line in the air, it immediately plunged into the galloping fleet of battleships, followed by continuous explosions.

The surface of the river was stirred by the surging water column, causing violent tremors. The fragments of warships were randomly scattered on the surface of the river. The soldiers of the Jingxiang Water Army kept thrashing about in the river, but some of them had become floating corpses, rising and falling with the waves. .

So what about the warships that have always been known for rushing into battle, under the bombardment of the Nanyang navy's ballista, one after another exploded, without the kind of indomitable momentum at all.

"Damn!"

On the command ship, Cai Mao was so shocked that his eyes almost popped when he saw this scene.

He couldn't believe his eyes.

In such a way, the Nanyang Navy actually organically combined the Fuhuo Thunderbolt and the ballista, thus evolving into a brand new offensive tool.

The most terrible thing is that this brand-new offensive tool is extremely lethal. Once it hits, it will inevitably damage the warships of the Jingxiang Navy, and it will face the end of destruction in an instant, and there is no time to react.

Even Kuai Yue, who was at the side, couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Nanyang navy has really innovated weapons, I really can't believe it, Fuhuo Thunder can be used in navy!"

"Degui."

Speaking of this, Kuai Yue turned his head to glance at Cai Mao, and said solemnly: "We must find a way. If this continues, we may not be able to hold on."

"To find ways to?"

Cai Mao was furious, and shouted sharply: "What do you think? If we can't control those warships, we will never be able to defeat Nanyang. Now we can only attack by force, continue to attract the enemy's attention, and buy time for the flanks to turn around."

"Come on."

Cai Mao was hoarse.

"exist."

The messenger bowed his body and cupped his hands.

Cai Mao gritted his teeth, and ordered sonorously: "Beat the drums to cheer, pass the order, continue to attack, and execute according to the original plan, without any mistakes."

The messenger nodded and nodded: "Here."

next second.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Boom—!
The sound of the golden drum shook the sky and spread throughout the Jingxiang water army.

The commander in charge of the attack was Pan Rui.

Pan Rui naturally understood what Cai Mao meant. Although he knew that the road ahead was difficult, he still resolutely ordered: "Attack again, give me all the top, and be sure to approach the thief boat as quickly as possible."

In fact, ballistas and bows and arrows are the same in meaning, they are both medium and long-range weapons, but the power of the two sides is different, and the effective range is different.

But
The indiscriminate attacks of both sides are exactly the same.

As long as one's own warship can break into the enemy's warship within fifty steps, it means that it has to engage in real hand-to-hand combat with its frigate, and in this way, it can limit the use of its ballista.

After all, it is impossible for the ballista of the Nanyang navy to fire at one's own people. As long as the two sides can fight together, in a sense, the ballista of the other side will be abolished.

And fighting bayonets on the river?

Cai Mao thought that he would never lose to a navy that had just been established for a year, so he had to do whatever it took to get close to the Nanyang navy and start a hand-to-hand battle with it, a real water battle on the river.

Even Sun Jian himself was taken aback when the warships kept rushing forward under the attack of the ballista. After all, in his heart, he looked down on Cai Mao at all, thinking that he was a cowardly person.

but never thought
The opponent dared to withstand the pressure and continue to attack and kill.

Sun Jian frowned, stared at the battlefield, and nodded slowly: "Cai Hao does have two brushes. He knows that he has no way out, so he can only charge forward."

"Although some are beyond expectations, it does not affect the overall situation. The ultra-long distance is not our opponent, and the middle distance and short distance are naturally impossible."

"The order!"

Sun Jian commanded calmly, and ordered sonorously: "Let Pan Zhang rush up with the destroyer, and must stop the other warships to buy enough time for the main battleship to attack."

The messenger bowed his body and bowed his hands: "Here."

immediately.

Above the mast, red and green flags flashed.

Then, the sound of beating drums with a characteristic rhythm sounded.

But on the surface of the river, a group of warships rushed forward quickly, and rushed towards the warships rushing towards them.

Cai Mao, who watched this scene, was a little dazed: "What is Sun Jian's intention? Is it possible that he is going to seek his own death? How dare he compete with my warship?"

You must know that the warship is the main collision warship. It is best at colliding two ships, and then the two sides fight close to each other on the battleship. Ordinary warships would like to detour, and no one would dare to collide with the warship.

"wrong!"

At this moment, Kuai Yue's eyes lit up and he raised his finger forward.

However, Nanyang's frigate started to turn around fifty steps away from both sides, and the soldiers on the battleship pulled out a short stick one after another, and then there were wisps of blue smoke.

Kuai Yue's jaw was about to drop in shock, and his eyeballs almost popped: "They didn't want to collide with the scorpion, but they wanted to bombard it at a medium distance with the Fuhuo Thunderbolt."

That's right!

Because destroyers and frigates are relatively small in size and shallow in draft, it is difficult for them to withstand the strong recoil of ballistas, but this does not mean that they cannot use Fuhuo Thunder.

only.
A medium-sized warship with a ballista bonus can attack at a distance of hundreds of steps, but without a ballista bonus, destroyers and frigates that can only be thrown by soldiers can only attack at a medium distance within [-] steps.

But there is no doubt that it is all relying on the Fuhuo Thunderbolt, which can deal tons of damage in an instant. Even because there are ten soldiers on the destroyer, apart from the two oars, eight people can throw the Fuhuo Thunderbolt together. In terms of damage, it is more powerful than the ballista.

call!call!call!
All I saw was seven or eight Fuhuo Thunderbolts lifted into the air, drew a perfect arc in the air, and immediately covered the enemy's warships.

The soldiers above had no way to hide, no way to avoid it, they could only watch helplessly as the smoldering volleys of thunderbolts fell all around their own battleship.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

There were successive explosions.

In the river water around the warship, jets of water suddenly rose one by one, the waves fluctuated violently, the warship swayed accordingly, the soldiers in fright moved around randomly, fell into the water one after another, the warship capsized, unexpectedly only in an instant.

You must know that the overturned warship did not withstand the direct explosion of the Fuhuo Thunder. Its overturning was entirely caused by the panic of the soldiers, and it was definitely not caused by the Fuhuo Thunder.

If it didn't withstand the fire and thunder, and it was like this, then the warship that endured the fire and thunder can only be described as "terrible".

With a sound of boom, the Jingxiang water army on the battleship was bloody and bloody in an instant, and with the shaking of the battleship, they fell into the river one after another, staining the river red and killing fish and turtles.

"Crappie!"

Cai Mao, who was watching the battle, suddenly became furious.

He slammed his fist on the female wall in front of him, making a bang, gritted his teeth, stared at him with hatred in his heart: "Old thief Sun Jian, he only knows how to use crouching fire and thunder, and he has absolutely no fighting skills at all."

"but."

Kuai Yue quickly regained his composure, and said in a cold voice: "This Fuhuo Thunderbolt is indeed very strong. If you and I have it, wouldn't we use it? It doesn't have to be like this, it's better to hurry up and find a way."

"If we still can't make it through, I'm afraid it will affect the morale of the team. After repeated setbacks, we may face the end of annihilation of the entire army. In this case, Xiangyang will definitely miss."

Cai Hao was originally in a bad mood, but when he heard Kuai Yue say this, he felt even more resentful: "Nonsense, don't I understand these principles?"

"But you see"

Speaking of this, Cai Mao raised his finger to the battlefield: "The opponent uses fire and thunder to clear the way, how can our warship rush over? Do you think I am unwilling to break through the defense line?"

Cai Mao's tactics are based on the premise of controlling the ballista ship, but if he wants to control the ballista ship, he must get close to it. If he can't get close, how can he control it.

At this moment.

No one is more angry than Cai Mao, and more worried about the situation of the war.

You must know that their Cai family is the largest noble family in Jingxiang. Once Xiangyang falls, it will be the Cai family who will lose the most, not the Kuai family, Pang family, Huang family and other noble families.

However.
Just as Cai Mao was angrily attacking Kuai Yue.

Suddenly, in the northeast direction of the battlefield, a strong shout sounded:
"Come on, general, kill them all."

"Roar! Rush over and kill them all!"

"Brothers, follow Colonel Gan and follow me!"

"."

Cai Mao suddenly felt surprised and turned his head to look.

However, a battleship broke out from the ruins without a single injury, and kept approaching the nearest enemy battleship at a speed close to galloping.

"That is."

Cai Hao's eyes flickered, and he suddenly found that it was Jiangxia Huangzu's position: "Could this person be Jiangxia Huangzu's general? Who is he?"

Kuai Yue was also amazed at this man's ability, looked around, but saw a fierce general standing at the opposite front of the battleship, this man was holding a double-arc shield in his left hand, and a long spear in his right hand, behind him, there were several people, Holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other.

This is the standard assault infantry equipment in infantry combat, but in the navy, it is rare to have such a configuration. After all, bows and arrows are the most effective offensive tools, not shields.

It should be noted that the shield is relatively bulky, which will increase the load of the battleship, thereby affecting the speed of the battleship, which will make the battleship passive and lose its initiative.

But
This kind of awareness is based on the fact that both sides are attacking with bows and arrows. Naturally, the faster and more flexible the warship, the more advantageous it is, but it is different now. The Jingxiang Navy is obviously not the opponent of the Nanyang Navy in terms of weapons. .

Therefore, it is useless to blindly pursue the speed of a light battleship. After all, its moving speed is definitely not as fast as the meteor-like ballista.

Suddenly, a defensive warship appeared, and it successfully resisted a wave of damage. Cai Mao, who had experienced many battles, immediately understood the reason.

"What a fool I am!"

Cai Mao couldn't help mocking himself, and even wanted to slap himself twice.

Such a simple and effective solution, I didn't even think of it, but was thought of by Huang Zu's subordinates, and they were able to use it successfully, it was like a slap in the face.

But there is no way, the battle situation is more anxious now, I can't retreat temporarily and go back to get the shield, right?If this was the case, the old thief Sun Jian would definitely take the opportunity to overwhelm him and run amok all the way, crushing him.

Kuai Yue stared at the rushing fleet: "If we can tear a hole from the flank, it will also help the battle situation. De Gui, we must persevere and never give up."

"Do you still need to say that?"

Cai Mao's fighting spirit was completely ignited, and he immediately made a move and shouted loudly: "Quick, beat the drums to cheer, order everyone to charge, cover them, and reduce their pressure."

The messenger bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Here!"

next second.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Boom—!
The earth-shattering sound of the golden drum sounded, and the rich shouts of killing soared into the sky.

However, hundreds of warships rushed towards the formation of the Nanyang Navy as if they were going crazy.

At the same time, Sun Jian, who was in command of the ship, also noticed the battleship that rushed to the front: "Oh, how can someone kill to such an extent? It's a bit capable!"

"He is Gan Ning, and his name is Xingba."

Zhou Yu on the side stared at the man in the battlefield, and explained: "In the pamphlet issued by the court, this person is marked as a key point and needs to be taken seriously. Could it be that the general doesn't remember?"

"Is he Gan Ning?"

Sun Jian did have the name "Gan Ning" in his mind.

only.
Because the time has dragged on for too long, he has become a little vague about this warning. If Zhou Yu hadn't reminded him, he would never have thought of such a number one person.

"Yes."

Zhou Yu's memory was still fresh, and he said softly: "This person is just a school lieutenant under Huang Zu's tent, but His Majesty actually values ​​this person more than Huang Zu."

"The last general still had some doubts before, whether His Majesty made a mistake, but looking at it now, the work of our school affairs office is very good, and we can actually grasp such a precise state of people."

"Dare to face the fire and thunder, and even think of a way to deal with it. This hero named Gan Ning is indeed worthy of our attention. After this battle is over, the general can take it back for his own use."

Hearing what Zhou Yu said, Sun Jian became more and more interested in this person. He raised his binoculars, looked for the battleship in the battlefield, and said softly, "I want to see how powerful this person is."

I don’t know, I’m scared.

Sun Jian couldn't believe it.

Facing seven or eight roaring Fuhuo Thunderbolts, the fleet soldiers behind Gan Ning were very calm, and raised their double-arc shields to protect the battleship extremely tightly.

However.
Gan Ning still stood proudly at the bow of the boat, holding a shield in one hand and a gun in the other, neither dodging nor dodging, like a god.

When Fuhuo Thunderbolt was attacking him, Gan Ning waved his silver gun casually, and swept the Fuhuo Thunderbolt directly into the river with a boom sound, splashing a jet of water.

After that, the waves on the river were extremely violent, but the soldiers on the Gan Ning warship remained motionless and remained calm, like a blockhouse standing on the river, despite the rough waves, I stood still and moved forward rapidly.

"Good Gan Ning."

At this moment, even Sun Jian, the fierce tiger in Jiangdong, couldn't help but be amazed: "How dare you face the fire and thunder directly, haha, I like such a titan."

Zhou Yu frowned, stared at Gan Ning as well, and said softly, "Don't be complacent, General. Gan Ning is extremely brave. Let's stop him first, and don't let him ruin the big thing."

"rest assured."

Sun Jian was full of confidence, and he refused to look away at all: "Gongfu will stop him. Cai Mao's Jingxiang navy is only such a capable man. Is it possible that he can pierce the sky?"

"General Huang?"

Zhou Yu naturally knew that Huang Gai was super powerful and proficient in water warfare.

But
With his strength, whether he can stop Gan Ning is another matter: "Gan Ning's strength is outstanding, the general must not underestimate this person, it is better to make more preparations."

Sun Jian said proudly, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

At this moment, in the battlefield.

The battleship led by Gan Ning braved the wind and waves, and moved forward all the way.

As if it was just the blink of an eye.

The distance between the two parties was shortened to twenty steps.

You know, the warships of the Nanyang Navy rely on their super speed advantage to always keep a safe distance.

But even so, the battleship led by Gan Ning was still able to close the distance by a full thirty steps, which is unbelievable.

"The thief will leave, and I, Gan Ning, will fight to the death."

Gan Ning stood at the forefront of the battleship, and the iron spear in the tent pointed at the battleship ahead angrily.

but
What greeted Gan Ning was not the warship that turned around, but dozens of volleys of ambushes and thunderbolts emitting green smoke.

After all, as Gan Ning continued to advance forward, he attracted the attention of more warships, and at the same time attracted the firepower of more warships. ten.

Facing the oncoming fire and thunder, Gan Ning held a double-arc shield in one hand to protect his body, and at the same time, the iron spear in his palm kept whipping back and forth in the air.

Pong!Pong!Pong!
The Fuhuo Thunder bombs were thrown out one after another, and then exploded around the battleship, one after another water jets were stirred up one after another, and the violent river tide kept beating the battleship under Gan Ning's feet.

But it is a pity that Gan Ning's soldiers on the boat were very calm, especially the soldiers who controlled the oars, they were extremely calm, no matter how the waves beat, they still stabilized themselves and remained motionless.

"Follow me!"

Gan Ning gave an order, and the battleship continued to charge forward.

Come closer.

A little closer.

A little closer.

"General, the distance between us and the team behind us is too far. If we go any further, we will be alone. Do you want to wait for the brothers behind?"

On the battleship, the soldiers under Gan Ning's command glanced back at the team that they left far behind, frowned, and made a kind reminder.

"Waiting for them?"

At this moment, in Gan Ning's eyes, only the Nanyang navy in front said coldly: "Hmph! If these guys see our speed slowing down, they will definitely be afraid. Only by rushing up now can they really mobilize the enthusiasm of the army."

"Do not be afraid!"

Gan Ning was the first to bear the brunt, and shouted sonorously: "Let's just charge forward, as long as we are in close contact with the enemy, it is tantamount to disabling their fire and thunder. Compared with close combat, they are our opponents."

The general will not hesitate to die, and the scholar can use his life.

Gan Ning stood at the forefront, which was the greatest encouragement to the soldiers:

"That's right, as long as we follow General Gan, we will surely win."

"Brothers, charge forward, let's kill, and the ones behind will naturally follow."

"Come on, destroy the Nanyang navy!"

"Let's go together, and those behind will follow."

"."

Looking at Gan Ning, who was leading the ship, Sun Jian ordered without hesitation: "Hurry up, order Huang Gai and Pan Zhang to turn around and attack the bandits from both sides to cut off the reinforcements in the rear."

"Humph."

Sun Jian snorted coldly, with a murderous look on his face: "The lone army goes deep, do you really think you are Xiang Yu?"

On the side, Zhou Yu held the binoculars, scanned the Jingxiang water army, and reminded softly: "General, something seems to be wrong. The Jingxiang water army is attacking in an all-round way."

"On the surface, it seems that they want to keep up with Gan Ning, but in fact, the distribution of their parts is relatively even, and they have no intention of breaking through at all."

"The end will be thought."

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and said tentatively: "Cai Mao must have hidden other killer moves, the general should be careful to avoid unnecessary losses."
