Large ships, powerful at the same time, the disadvantage is also inconvenient steering. This is not the sea, but the Yangtze River, where the current is constant and the width is not enough, and it is not easy for large ships, especially large fleets, to turn around.

It is to form a naval army with Ganning, mainly medium-sized warships, and cooperate with ships and ships as the main configuration. But this does not mean that the Han Navy does not have large ships, and even said that for this day, many large ships were secretly built, not only for the purpose of attacking, but also to facilitate the transportation of troops.

Most of the sailors of this ship, excluding a small number of Gan Ning's old subordinates, were recruited from Qingzhou. However, after one to two years of training, I have a preliminary understanding of ship control. The troop carrier does not need such a high level of ship control technology, and it is actually possible not to capsize the ship.

"General, there's a fleet of ships approaching behind us!" Mao Kai came to Lu Xiang in a little panic, although Jiang Yiqu was watching from the rear, but it was not easy for the fleet to turn around in this situation.

This fleet is so large that it is a bit troublesome to turn around, not impossible, it will take a lot of time. At the same time, since the ships in front stopped, the ones behind had to temporarily drop anchor, otherwise, they would only directly hit the friendly forces in front.

The sails had just been put away, but the enemy had just appeared, and now if you want to turn, you need to rely not only on the oars for manual operation, but also on the anchor, which will take time.

"Then let go of the boats and the small warships to deal with it, and in any case, create time for the big ships in the rear to turn!" Lu Xiang was also panicked, "Tell Qianjun that the small warship will find a way to deal with those stakes, and at the same time, the walker will come over immediately and help pull those wooden stakes away!" ”

"General, those wooden stakes have crashed into the hull of the ship, if they are pulled out, I am afraid that they will enter the water!" Mao Kai hurriedly reminded.

"We can't just stay here and block the fleet behind, right?" Lu Xiang directly retorted, "Even if you rest on the shore, you can't block the river!" ”

He can be seen through, and the current plan of the other party is to use the blocking of the big ships to make the big ships in the rear undefended, and then launch an attack from the rear to burn these big ships, and maybe even affect the surrounding small ships. The big ship can't move, and the other side has a big ship, and when the time comes, the big ship will be used against the small boat, then the victory will naturally be the other side.

Now they are really embarrassed downstream, the big ship in front can't move because it is anchored, if the boat and the small warship in front turn back, then it is easy to collide with the big ship, but otherwise they can only anchor, otherwise they will be pushed downstream by the water of the Yellow River, the small warship is okay, those boats are estimated to be enough to choke even if they are anchored.

As a result, the five or six large warships in front became a wall, blocking not only the advance of the rear, but also the troops in front. And the rear goes down the river, and you can come over at once. Whether it's anchoring or turning, it's more convenient than them.

"Why, by the way, the enemy has a ship in the back, but no one knows?" Lu Xiang directly insulted, so many big ships can actually hide in the rear and kill when necessary, what are those guys in Qingzhou doing?

"The other party should not have appeared along the coast of Qingzhou, but from a tributary near Puyang." Mao Kai thought of this possibility, "Anyway, somewhere, there should be a water village that we don't know about, but now is not the time to talk about this!" ”

"And what are you going to say now?" Lu Xiang was too anxious, "Now we can't move!" ”

At the same time, the big ship had already come to the rear of Yuan Shaojun. Then, in the first place, the stone thrower threw a large number of stones.

"So far away...... What kind of trebuchet is that? Jiang Yiqu, who was in the rear, was directing the boats and small warships to meet the battle, but the other party threw a large number of stones, the size of a fist, and when they were thrown, they directly became scattered bombs.

But the real problem is that the range of these stone throwers is too long, six or seven ships, and the range of the stone projectiles thrown is at least twice that of the stone throwers on their side!

The stones quickly covered the area, and most of the sailors were in leather armor, or at least light armor, so it was no joke to be next to a stone in such a situation. In particular, many ships were beaten to pieces by these stones, and then quickly entered the water and finally sank.

It was not that there were no walkers to pass quickly, after all, turning their heads was to go down the river, but before they could get closer, there were a large number of crossbows and bows and arrows shooting at them, and most of the walkers did not have a shed at all, so many soldiers were shot on the spot.

"I thought I didn't have a chance to perform!" Bian Linglong was on the warship and said proudly. Since he was transferred here, he has basically played for Gan Ning, and he even thought that he would not have a better chance to play.

Looking at the opponent's boats again, most of them have sunk, and a few have been directly hit by the big ship, which cannot form a threat at all. Seeing this, she said with a slight smugness: "It's unfortunate that I'm good at training and only knowing how to bow and crossbow troops!" ”

Then he looked behind him and shouted: "Why is the loading of stone bullets so slow, hurry up, throw me the second round!" ”

The first round is a scatter bomb, and the second round is a really round stone bullet, a huge stone bullet with a special instrument, three or four people working together, to load into the throwing pocket, and then throw it.

The second round of stone bullets, directly towards the opponent's small warship, due to the close distance, so the initial speed also increased, after adjusting the angle, a stone bullet smashed into the opponent's plank like a meteor, and immediately smashed a hole, and if you were lucky, you could also smash a soldier in the cabin.

Six or seven stone shells passed, at least three small warships were scrapped, and the second round of reloading began.

The other party is really aggrieved, because he has not turned around yet, so there is almost no resistance in the rear, bows and crossbows can't be shot, and the opponent's stone thrower can keep shooting as long as the stone bullets are enough. Look at the shore again, there is a convoy over there transporting a large number of stone shells, which can be replenished by walking boats if needed.

The opponent's big boat, on the other hand, needs to be able to retreat without maneuvering, and the current will help them to distance themselves. Shooting while pulling distance, the small warships in the rear have not even been able to fully turn.

At the same time, the warships in front of them were also advancing one after another. The boatmen began to weave in, and the ships were preparing for the next round of impact.

"The enemy is coming!" In the gang jumping battle, Gan Ning's sailors jumped from the boat to the small warship through the hook claws, and then killed Yuan Shao's sailors. The soldiers rushed to meet the battle, and their physical strength was said to be the highest.

However, under Yuan Shao's command, most of them are northern soldiers, although they have been trained for more than a year, they are far from being the elite opponents of these Han army sailors with strong skills and rich experience in key battles.

With only ten men, he took down a small warship with more than 20 people, and then quickly controlled the ship's branch to turn the bow of the ship and launch a rock-throwing attack on the large ship. Under their cover, the medium-sized warships in the rear also began to move forward, using improved catapults to carry out stone-throwing attacks. And the runners under Lu Xiang's command have been completely lost by here......

"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!" Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Lu Xiang could only beat the side of the boat and scream in pain.
