- The rain got heavier and heavier, and the big flag with the word "Gan" on the battleship was messy in the wind and rain.
Facing the enemy, countless giant enemy ships appeared and disappeared in the rain and fog, and their momentum was extremely huge.
Liu Biao's family is a wealthy businessman who has been running Jingzhou for many years. He has a complete fleet of naval warships under his command, and most of them are large battleships.
However, Yan Liang had only occupied Nanyang for half a year and did not have the manpower and material resources to build battleships on a large scale. Therefore, Gan Ning's navy could only use medium-sized stern warships as its main combat ships.
In water battles, bows and crossbows are the main weapons. The battleships are tall and carry a large number of troops. They also have the advantage of being able to shoot from a high position compared to the stern attack.
In this upcoming battle, whether it is the number of troops, the number of ships, or the quality of the warships, Cai Mao's army has the upper hand.
Gan Ning held both halberds in his arms and stared coldly at the approaching enemy fleet in the rain and fog, with a sneer on his lips.
In a moment, the ships on both sides entered combat range.
On the huge battleship, Zhang Yun looked down at the enemy's few and weak battleships with his head raised, and his brows were filled with ridicule.
He subconsciously touched his left ear, but it was empty, and a strong sense of shame immediately surged into his heart.
"Yan Liang! The revenge of cutting off the ear is a great shame and humiliation. I, Zhang Yun, will definitely repay it today!"
In Zhang Yun's eyes, a strong desire for revenge shot out. Suddenly he pointed the blade and said sternly: "Send the order to the whole army to start attacking and kill all the enemy thieves for me."
At the command of the general, the flag bearer on the mast quickly waved the signal flag.
Rumbling war drums rose from all directions, one after another on the fighting ships. Thousands of crossbowmen quickly launched arrow strikes at Gan Ning's army with long-range hard crossbows.
Arrows rained down, like sharp arrows coming from locusts, overwhelming Gan Ning's army.
Gan Ning was quickly suppressed by the enemy's arrows. All the troops huddled in the hull and did not dare to show their heads easily.
"Brother, our warships are too small and are crushed too hard by the enemy." Wen Chou was watching the battle from the side. There was a hint of worry in his tone.
Yan Liang had a calm expression on his face, "Ziqin, don't you understand? Xingba is deliberately showing weakness."
Showing weakness?
Wen Chou looked suspicious. Seeing that his fleet was being suppressed and unable to raise its head, he couldn't tell that Gan Ning was deliberately showing weakness as he knew nothing about water warfare.
Yan Liang couldn¡¯t see it either. His confident judgment was actually just pretending to be "smart".
When the two armies are fighting, as the commander, he has to pretend to understand even if he doesn't understand. He must make the soldiers think that he knows everything. Only in this way can he subdue the spirit of the three armies.
In the Battle of Han River, the advantages and disadvantages of the battle became increasingly clear.
Zhang Yun, who had the upper hand, paid no attention to the enemy's small boats and just drove the fleet forward. The crossbow arrows are directed towards the enemy without hesitation.
Gan Ning stood on the bow of the boat, with half of his shoulders bare, facing the violent storm, and casually deflected the incoming arrows.
The fleet formations of both the enemy and ours were approaching more than a hundred paces in the blink of an eye.
In Gan Ning's eyes. A hint of cold murderous intention suddenly passed through him.
"Suicide Squad, move out!"
With his halberd pointed, Gan Ning gave a sharp shout.
After the order was passed, dozens of stern ships hiding behind the fighting ships suddenly came out from both sides, and the sailors turned their oars to the maximum. Like the wind, it rushed towards the Jingzhou Army's large ship.
Gan Ning wanted to board the ship to engage in battle and defeat the enemy with hand-to-hand combat.
When Zhang Yun on the flagship saw this, something strange appeared on his face, as if he was surprised by the enemy's bravery.
Immediately, Zhang Yun shouted: "The whole army is aiming at the enemy's attack, and we must not let him get close."
Hundreds of crossbowmen heard the order and quickly changed their shooting targets. Taking advantage of the tall ship shape, they stood down and shot arrows like raindrops towards Gan Ning's ship.
Zhang Yun originally thought that with the advantages of strong bows and crossbows, he could easily kill those enemies who were willing to sacrifice their lives, but he discovered that his powerful arrow rain net could not stop the impact of the enemy ships at all.
Gan Ning was sneering.
He is on the enemy's road, and the Jingzhou navy will definitely despise his fleet.
He carefully built these stern speed boats. Although the hulls are small, they are extremely fast, and they are covered with cowhide, which is enough to withstand the blows of any strong bows and crossbows.
This death squad was specially prepared by Gan Ning for this battle.
More than thirty stern ships cut through the waves, like huge swordfish, moving quickly against the dense rain of arrows, penetrating the Jingzhou Navy like the wind.In the formation.
Gan Ning personally took a battleship and headed straight for Zhang Yun's flagship.
One hundred steps
Fifty steps
Twenty steps
boom!
With a dull loud noise, the front end of the ship slammed into Zhang Yun's flagship. Under the powerful impact, the entire battleship shook violently. The soldiers on the ship found it difficult to stand still for a while. .
At the moment when the enemy on the ship fell into a brief panic, Gan Ning shouted loudly, jumped onto the enemy ship with his halberd in hand, and took the lead to attack the unprepared Jingzhou army.
Immediately afterwards, all the men on board the ship abandoned their oars for knives, followed Gan Ning and rushed up to kill the enemy ship.
When Gan Ning took the lead and seized the opportunity, the entire fleet rushed into the Jingzhou navy's flat formation, like a sharp blade, easily tore a hole, and then passed by with ease, in the blink of an eye. Then the Jingzhou fleet was divided into two parts.
Seeing that the enemy ship formation had been broken, the Gan Ning Army, which was followed by more than a hundred ships, quickly moved forward. Large and small warships moved forward against the enemy's arrows. The archers and crossbowmen fought back hard to suppress the firepower on the enemy ships and cover all the enemy ships. The barge rushes to pick up the small ships and attack them.
In the water stronghold, excited shouts rose to the sky, and the officers and soldiers of the three armies were all excited about the situation of their own army.
Wen Chou was even more surprised and said: "Brother, you are really a god of predicting things. I didn't expect that Gan Xing's domination of water would be so good."
Yan Liangliang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but said with a faint smile: "I have said before that no one in Jingxiang can match the ability of Xingba water warfare. You and I will just watch him achieve this great feat."
In the water village, the rumbling drums soared into the sky, and the cheers and cheers soared into the sky.
Gan Ning, who boarded the enemy ship, was angry and powerful. He opened his two iron halberds to the left and right, and the halberds passed by, harvesting heads wantonly.
Blood splattered, blood and rain fell all over the body. Gan Ning in the bloody storm was like a Shura demon general, extremely fierce.
Zhang Yun, who was on the upper deck, was so shocked that his face was as pale as a sheet of paper. He boasted that he was an expert in water combat, but he never expected that Yan Liang's weak navy could destroy his fleet so easily.
In the panic, Zhang Yun was even more horrified to find that a bare-armed enemy general was killing him all the way, as if he was in an uninhabited land, and was unstoppably killing him.
"Quick, stop that thief general!"
Zhang Yun retreated step by step, constantly pushing the pro-soldiers forward to serve as his human shields.
However, how could an ant block the iron halberd in Gan Ning's hand?
But seeing the cold light flying, and the blood rain, Gan Ning cut a bloody path from bottom to top, and went straight to the second deck.
Amidst the loud shouts, the two iron halberds were thrust out with hunting force, and they actually passed through the chests of the last two enemy soldiers. The sharp edges of the halberds that came out from their backs even brought out a stream of flesh foam.
Gan Ning's eyes were bloodshot, and only Zhang Yun was left in his eyes.
He was holding an iron halberd dripping with blood and his hair was disheveled. Like a devil, he was approaching Zhang Yun step by step.
Zhang Yun was extremely frightened and had no way to retreat. He could only howl, muster up his remaining courage, and use his knife to kill Gan Ning.
A disdainful sneer flashed across the ferocious face.
When he took two steps, the iron tower-like figure suddenly moved like a shadow, and blood-colored lightning passed by Zhang Yun.
Then, before Zhang Yun could react, he was shocked to find that one of his arms had just fallen off.
One move, chop off the arm.
"Ah~~"
Zhang Yun howled miserably and rolled to the ground, covering the bloody broken arm with his hand and howling in pain.
For Gan Ning, killing Zhang Yun was easy.
But he did not kill Zhang Yun and captured Zhang Yun's nephew alive, which was an even greater humiliation for Liu Biao.
Gan Ning snorted coldly, and without looking at Zhang Yun again, he strode to the side of the ship and swept out the halberd again.
¡«¡«
Amidst the loud noise, the towering banner with the word "Zhang" was cut off.
"Bringing the flag down meant the loss of the flagship. The rest of the Jingzhou navy ships, which were still fighting hard, saw the loss of the flagship, and their military morale collapsed in an instant.
The ships that lost their command soon fell into fighting on their own. After only resisting for a moment, the ships turned around and looked at the water village to escape.
How could Gan Ning allow the enemy ship to escape? He immediately mobilized his fleet and followed the enemy ship in hot pursuit.
More than three hundred defeated ships fled to the south bank desperately.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?When Gan Ning planned to rush into the enemy's stronghold and annihilate the Jingzhou navy in one fell swoop, the two hundred enemy ships remaining in the stronghold came out of the stronghold one after another in an attempt to stop Gan Ning's pursuit.
The rain is still falling, and there is no sign of sunny weather.
Seeing the arrival of enemy reinforcements, Gan Ning had no choice but to retreat.
Gan Ning had already made two preparations. If Cai Mao sent out his entire army, he would annihilate them all on the Han River.
If Cai Mao only sent part of his navy to fight, Gan Ning had secretly prepared dozens of fireships loaded with flammable materials. By then, he would only need to follow the enemy's defeated army and set fire to the wind, and he would be able to destroy the enemy's remaining warships. And burned it, Cai Mao's navy can still be wiped out.
But what God didn¡¯t like was that a sudden heavy rain made Gan Ning¡¯s backup plan useless.
The victorious Gan Ning could only return to his home village on the north bank with some regrets.
Even so, thousands of enemies were killed and more than fifty warships were captured in this battle, which can be said to be a great victory.
Yan Liang, who had witnessed the entire water battle, was already on the trestle to welcome Gan Ning's triumphant return.
In the water village, cheers and cheers rose like a wave, and the rumble shook the heaven and the earth.
When the boat docked, Gan Ning jumped out of the boat carrying Zhang Yun, who had lost an arm and an ear, like a chicken.
Zhang Yun, who was already in agony, looked up and saw that he had fallen at Yan Liang's feet. He was immediately frightened and terrified.
Before Yan Liang could speak, Zhang Yun screamed: "General Yan, spare your life, General Yan, please spare your life~~" - Didn't finish reading?
