Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 1070
Qin army navy VS Soochow navy.

The first battle of the Battle of Chibi is about to start.

Zhou Yu saw [-] warships from Soochow coming out of the village, but they did not advance, but leaned against the wall of the village, so he knew that Sima Yi had no intention of fighting directly, but was still on guard.

The 'siege battle' on the water began.

Governor Zhou Yu did not launch a general attack on the Dongwu water stronghold as soon as he came up. Seeing that the number of warships in Dongwu had a certain local advantage, he sent Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao, each with a hundred warships Go to support Gan Ning.

I believe that with Gan Ning's battleship Luoyang present, he can gain an advantage.

As the forward commander, Gan Ning formulated his own tactics.

"The ships are lined up, using the superior range of our army's trebuchets to attack the enemy. If the enemy spreads out, just rush over and wipe out the enemy with ballistas."

He planned to start the attack with a long-range strike.

The current Gan Ning is the company commander who will carry out the offensive orders for later generations. Cheng Pu and others are his platoon leaders, and they meticulously carry out Gan Ning's orders.

However, it has not yet entered the range of the Qin Army's trebuchet.In the Soochow Water Village, on the earth hill, a large number of 'meteorites' flew over.

"What?" Gan Ning was taken aback.

He has seen the trebuchets on the earth hills in the Dongwu water village, but he doesn't think they have a range that can surpass his own. This comes from the inertial thinking that his side has a "weapon technology advantage".

However, Gan Ning made a mistake in his judgment. Obviously, the range of the enemy's trebuchets was farther than that of the Qin army.

He took a closer look, "No, these trebuchets are Liu Beijun's standard!"

In fact, the gravity trebuchets carried on the Qin army ships are small and medium-sized, and they do not have the long range of heavy gravity trebuchets.On the other hand, Soochow has the height of the earth mountain. Although the gravity trebuchets they use are not as advanced as the Qin army, they have an advantage at the moment.

At this time, the warships of the Soochow Navy docked in front of the water village showed no signs of moving.

The Qin army's water army began to suffer from the "fire" of Soochow's catapults and began to bear the blow.

At the beginning, the blows suffered were sporadic, but as they approached, Soochow's "artillery fire" became intensive.At the same time, Soochow warships began to dispatch.

"Drop the fire oil bag!" Lu Meng's fleet was the first to attack.

Soochow's fleet 'artillery fire' and land-based 'artillery fire' merged, more than doubling the firepower.

For a moment, the surface of the water was dark, and the sky was covered by stones.

rear.

Qin Feng stood up suddenly, walked to the bow of the ship and took a closer look, "Not good..."

At this moment, the Qin army's fleet was advancing under the enemy's endless artillery fire, and suffered heavy losses.Thick smoke was already billowing on the river, all from the burning of the Qin army's warships, and the voices were endless.

Qin Feng didn't expect it to be so one-sided at all. This came from the fact that the enemy's catapults were too powerful.

According to the visual inspection, it was just the fighting area, and the enemy had more than [-] trebuchets.

It's like launching an attack with two hundred artillery pieces, who can bear it?
Zhou Yu was also shocked, and hurriedly ordered Gan Ning to retreat.

When Gan Ning withdrew back, he had already lost more than [-] warships, and he hadn't really gotten close to the enemy's water fortress.

Immediately afterwards, the cheers of the Soochow Army came.

Sima Yi chuckled, "Qin Zijin wants to break through my water stronghold, it's wishful thinking. The trebuchet built by Zhuge Kongming is really a good thing."

Zhou Yu was not reconciled to failure, so as soon as the flag was waved, a hundred fast boats appeared in the Qin army fleet, heading straight for the Soochow water village.

Sima Yi saw it clearly from the earth mountain, he chuckled, "This is the fire boat sent by Zhou Yu, I will pass on an order to all ministries to prepare for fire prevention."

a while.

Boom~.

Most of these small fire boats avoided the attack of the trebuchets and hit the wall of the Soochow Water Village.

Everyone in Qin Jun looked closely.

It was discovered that although the walls of these villages had been hit, they were thick and motionless.And, there was no fire.

Later, a large number of Soochow soldiers appeared behind the wall of the village, and they used 'water dragons' to fetch water on the spot to put out the fire.

In a blink of an eye, Qin Jun's fireboat went out.

Sima Yi laughed loudly, and said to everyone: "Our wall is not made of wooden poles, but made of refined iron. It goes deep into the bottom of the river for more than ten feet, and the enemy can't touch it. Qin Zijin must be surprised."

Seeing that the Qin army's offensive was dispelled by Sima Yi invisibly, everyone admired them all, saying: "The governor has far-sighted plans and plans in advance, so that the Qin army will have no success."

Qin Jun side.

"The fence of the Dongwu water village is made of metal!" Qin Feng was really taken aback, and then remembered that the walls of the enemy water village were shining brightly. At first, he thought it was water, but he didn't expect it to be metal.

"The enemy is heavily guarded..." Zhou Yu frowned.

Pang Tong saw that it was difficult to form an advantage locally, so he said: "My lord, do you want to launch a general attack?"

Qin Feng went to see Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu hesitated for a while, but still ordered the general attack.

Suddenly, the sound of horns and drums shook the sky.

The Qin army marched loudly, except for Qin Feng's flagship, the other thousand warships came out together, gradually spread to the waters of Wuli, and rushed towards the Soochow Water Village.

Soochow side.

Kan Ze, Xue Zong and others were really startled when they saw the Qin army launching a general offensive.

But Sima Yi was quite disdainful, and said: "This is a general attack, and it is also a test. If so, let the enemy show some color, let the enemy know that our army's water fortress is powerful, and they will not dare to attack again."

Ever since, under Sima Yi's order, the Soochow navy marched out, but they did not go far away. Instead, they fought in front of the wall of the village, relying on the firepower of their trebuchets.

Soochow's "artillery" was fully fired, boulders danced in the sky along the water village, and the flint with its tail billowing in smoke streaked across the sky and smashed towards the warship of the Qin army.

When the Qin fleet suffered losses and gradually approached, the Soochow fleet moved a certain distance away and began to throw stones and shoot arrows.For a time, the artillery fire in the sky was divided into upper and lower layers, the upper layer was the 'cannon fire' of heavy trebuchets, and the lower layer was the 'cannon fire' of the fleet.

The Soochow Army cooperated internally and externally, and the Qin Army fleet suffered heavy losses.

Qin Jun side.

The semaphore soldiers shouted in shock: "General Gan Ning is in a hurry, please retreat!"

All of a sudden, there were requests from various ministries to retreat.

Zhou Yu ordered to retreat, but no one on the flagship made a sound.In the distance is the fleet of the Qin army retreating with smoke, and in the distance, there are cheers from the Soochow navy.

Zhou Yu organized his words, and bowed: "My lord, the enemy's water village is heavily guarded. This is because the range of the enemy's catapults is higher than that of our army. The number of their catapults far exceeds the number of our army's warships. Our army needs to withstand the enemy's double blows. Even after breaking through, we have to fight with the enemy fleet and continue to be hit by the enemy's catapults.

"If there are fewer warships sent, the enemy fleet will form a local advantage in front of the water stronghold. If there are more ships sent, it will become dense and have to withstand the crazy long-range attacks of the enemy. This time the loss of warships is not less than Three hundred."

Qin Feng also saw that the situation was very serious at that time, so he asked, "Gong Jin, if we attack by force, what are the odds of winning?"

Zhou Yu lowered his head and said, "I'm afraid it's less than ten percent."

"Less than [-]%!" Qin Feng frowned, which was actually the same as not being able to win.He couldn't help but said: "Sima Yi is good at keeping things, and his reputation is well-deserved."
