Chapter 728: The Battleship Strikes
In the eleventh year of Hongwu of the Great Wei Dynasty, on May 15, 209 AD, when the sun rose from the east, Gan Ning stood on the high mast of the flagship of the four-tier battleship, which had two layers of splints and was now the largest and most powerful fourth-class battleship of the Great Wei, and slammed his water-splitting broadsword and shouted: "Children, attack!" ”
More than 100 new warships, all of which raised huge soft sails like white clouds, but only a hundred battleships that were like covering the sky and the sun sailed away from the water village and rushed straight towards the water village of the Wu State Naval Division on the opposite side.
There are 3,500 warships in the Jiangdong Naval Division Water Village opposite, of which there are nearly 1,000 building ships, and their comprehensive strength accounts for eighty percent of the Wu State Naval Division, and the leading generals are Zhou Tai, who was born as a water bandit, and Jiang Qin, the deputy general.
Soon after the Wei navy left the water village, the Wu State naval division on the opposite side also reacted, only to see more than a dozen water village doors wide open, thousands of large and small warships swarming out, Zhou Tai holding a big sword proudly standing on the deck of the head of the ship.
And when he left the water village, Zhou Tai saw the huge gauge that towered and covered the clouds at first glance, as well as the ship that was not the same as the warship at this time, which was narrow in front and wide in the back.
"General Jiang, do you know what this warship is, although it is towering into the sky, it is only a hundred, as for the other ships, Douke, Lou ships, etc., there are none, why is this?"
The Wei sergeant water station is not as good as the Wu State, but in the number of warships, the Wei warships are completely in the upper hand, every time the naval division fights, the Wei army's warships have at least three-fifths of the river, which shows that the Wei army has many warships in the past, and the number is huge.
This is also one of the reasons why, although the water battle is almost always victorious, it has not changed much for the entire battle situation.
Zhou Tai thought this time that today's war was the same as in the past, and Wu suppressed Wei with elite sailors and soldiers. The Wei State relied on the huge number of warships to resist, but now, the number of the Wei army on the opposite side seemed to be overshadowing, but for Zhou Tai, who was proficient in the water station, in a short period of time, he could count the number. The warships of the Wei army on the opposite side did not exceed two hundred at most, but on the other hand, there were thousands of them on the Wu side, and today they were transferred as if they had been transferred in the past.
"This, the last general doesn't know, could it be that the Wei State finally can't support it, general, please think. Although Wei occupies two-thirds of the world, Cao Cao is so happy, Wei has almost never stopped, fighting for many years, plus more than two million troops, even if Wei is rich, it is impossible to dispatch so many warships every time! ”
Zhou Taisi paid for a while, and felt that what Jiang Qin said was good. Beyond that, there seems to be little reason to explain it. Zhou Tai's face showed a hint of relief: "If everything is as General Jiang said, then Wei State seems to be the final blow this time, if it can repel Wei State, it is enough to ensure the safety of my Great Wu for a hundred years, and after a hundred years, it is not known who wins and who loses!" ”
"General Mingjian!"
The pressure brought about by the behemoth of the Wei State. Almost every general of the Wu State was breathless, and knowing that this battle was likely to be the last, Jiang Qin couldn't help but show joy on his face.
Gan Ning, who commanded the Wei naval fleet, didn't know what Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were thinking, and if he knew, he might have laughed his big teeth off. At this time, with a trace of pleasure and killing intent, he looked at the approaching army of Wu Guoshuishi!
Thousands of warships on both sides were advancing at high speed on the wide river, and the originally wide river was very crowded, and when the warship lines of the two sides were still nearly two hundred paces apart, the Wei army's fleet suddenly stopped.
Under the command of the flagship's battle flag, nearly a hundred battleships immediately turned their hulls, so that the huge sideways faced the Jiangdong Naval Division fleet that continued to rush, and then, Zhou Tai was very surprised to see that several neatly arranged small doors on the side of the Wei warships were opened, and some kind of object stretched out, Zhou Tai muttered puzzledly: "What is that?" Could it be a bed crossbow, Gan Ning is crazy, what is the effect of the bed crossbow, even if it is shot on the warship, it will hardly bring any damage? ”
Zhou Tai's thoughts have not yet been finished, he saw more than ten warships on the opposite side, suddenly sprayed out huge crossbow arrows with a whistling sound, Zhou Tai's ridicule did not come out, he clearly saw that after all, there were nearly ten long cans tied to the crossbow arrows, thinking of which sharp weapon of the Wei army, Zhou Tai's face changed greatly, but unfortunately, it was too late!
The crossbow bolts shot deep into the warship of the Wu State Navy, and the oil canister carried on it shattered under the crossbow arrows and the shots of the ship, and the oil contained in it was sprinkled all around, and at the same time, the oil tank that had been ignited for a long time was shattered, and the sparks on it collided with the oil like water, and the ship fell into the sea of fire.
Before Zhou Tai could react, the extremely sharp whistling sound tore through the air again, and then a scream accompanied by the sky-high fire burst out around him.
Zhou Tai couldn't help but follow the prestige, only to see several terrifying holes appear on several big ships next to him, and a sea of fire spread out of them. couldn't help but change his complexion, and at this moment, a general beside him exclaimed: "General, be careful! ”
Only then did Zhou Tai realize that the mast in front of him was staggering down towards him, and it turned out that the bottom of Zhou Tai's mast had also been hit just now, and the flames had burned the bottom of this mast to slag.
Zhou Tai hurriedly jumped to the side, and almost at the same time, the mast smashed down, smashing the ship out of a big gap, and the whole ship began to slowly tilt to one side, and the soldiers on the ship jumped away from the building ship that was about to capsize in surprise.
Just as Zhou Tai was about to jump into the water, a rope was thrown in front of Zhou Tai: "General, grab the rope, we'll pull you over!"
A subordinate of a ship approaching shouted at the top of his voice, and Zhou Tai immediately transferred to another clipper boat through this rope.
As soon as Zhou Tai got on the boat, his ears suddenly sounded again with a loud noise that was even more shocking than the scream, and then, more than a dozen ships seemed to be swept by a storm, and the boats were dissatisfied with the flames and potholes, and began to pour and sink crookedly.
Zhou Tai roared angrily: "What the hell is this? Why is this happening, why did the Wei army's oil tank appear on the warship! ”
The soldiers around him were all pale and trance-like, and there was a deep look of fear in their eyes, and it was no wonder that anyone who encountered an incomprehensible danger was usually very frightened.
As for the bow and crossbow, in the hearts of these frightened generals, the bow and crossbow that can cause monstrous flames is definitely not the useless bow and crossbow of the past, maybe it is not a weapon newly researched by Wei Guoxin, but it looks like a bow and crossbow, just like the fire oil tank looks like an ordinary wine tank.
