Gan Ning looked at the results of the battle that Cao Cao called the fire ballista, and couldn't help but say with a slight change in his face: "I can't imagine that the weapons made by those crazy people in the arsenal are combined with the new shipbuilding in the shipyard, what sail battleships are so powerful!" ”

Several generals beside him nodded sympathetically, and at this time, one of the generals pointed to the river in front of him and said, "General, the enemy's attack group is already approaching, are you adjusting the attack target of the ballista to the front?" ”

Gan Ning glanced at the battleship group of the Wu army that was about to engage his own front not far away, nodded and said: "Pass the order, order fifteen warships to continue to attack Zhou Tai's main formation, and all the other warships will attack, and be sure to break the enemy's attack group in one go."

"No!" All the ministers will respond in unison.

Fifteen warships continued to carry out long-range devastating strikes on Zhou Tai's main formation, while the rest of the warships met the attack group of Zhou Tai's naval army from the front, and the battleships equipped with a large number of heavy ballistas rampaged through the enemy warship group, and the stormy arrows carried a monstrous sea of fire and ruthlessly swept all targets on the river.

The Zhou Tai naval army fought hard, but in front of the new warships of the Wei army like a fortress and the powerful fire ballista cannons, they only felt that their hearts were more than enough and their strength was insufficient, and the terrible warships that continued to spray red dragons and the earth-shattering loud noises behind the Wei army's battle line made it difficult for them to suppress the fear in their hearts, and the increasingly critical situation of this formation made the soldiers who were fighting on the front line a little absent-minded.

Zhou Tai saw that it was not a way for the formation to be beaten so passively, so he was ruthless in his heart, and simply ordered the formation to be fully pressed.

Zhou Tai's personal commander braved the crossbow arrows of the Wei army to launch a counterattack, and when the commander of Wu Guoshui saw the commander personally go into battle, he couldn't help but boost his morale, and the momentum of the counterattack rose sharply for a while, and for a while, the momentum of the Wei army's attack was actually contained.

Zhou Tai's sturdy performance. It also aroused the ruthlessness of the Wei army's naval divisions, and the Wei navy led the enemy warship group to attack with the most powerful fourth-class battleships, and at the same time, fifteen fifth-class battleships attacked Zhou Tai and the surrounding buildings with all their might.

As Zhou Tai's boat was sunk again, Zhou Tai's naval division's military spirit was shaken, and Gan Ning saw this scene. An all-out attack was immediately ordered.

Thousands of warships were entangled in the battle, and the battle was now, the warships of the Wei army were inevitably entangled by the warships of the Wu State, and the soldiers of the Wu State roared and were ready to jump onto the ships of the Wei army to fight, but they all suffered a fierce blow.

The crossbow machine carrying the scattered bullets not only brought the lives of several Wu Guoshui soldiers, but also took the lives of more than a dozen Wu Guoshui soldiers in the subsequent explosion. Shoot bows and arrows from above at the Wu warship!

However, this is not good in front of the building ship, although it still suffered a fierce blow, but the Wu State sailor on the building ship still springboarded to the battleship of the Wei State, fortunately, Cao Cao was equipped with a barrier knife in every naval sergeant, so it did not cause any major incidents.

At this time, there was a sea of fire on the river, and the warships of both sides were slowly sinking into the water, and the huge fourth-level battleships of the Wei army were becoming more and more crazy, and firebolts and shotgun arrows flew towards the enemy army overwhelmingly. What's more, relying on their own weight, they directly smashed the enemy ship in half.

The battle continued until before evening, when the remnants of the Zhou Tai naval army fled from the battlefield and returned to the water village. Gan Ning, who was still unsatisfied, commanded the flagship to approach the water village of Zhou Tai's army, and bombarded Zhou Tai's water village with the fire ballista on the flagship.

Along with the fire crossbow arrows of the Wei army, the fire continued to emerge in the water village, and many panicked Wu soldiers fled into the mountains next to the water village in a hurry, and only the figures were longing on the dry village by the water, and the atmosphere of horror permeated everyone's hearts.

The remaining ships of the Zhou Tai Navy were thrown at random on the dock in the water village by panicked soldiers. Many of the warships were already in a state of ruins.

The army that came to hear the news could only stare at everything in front of them in amazement, but could not do anything.

Zhou Tai, who was seriously wounded, was carried into a large tent on land, and after a simple bandage, he was sent by his own soldiers to the army village not far from here.

There are 100,000 troops stationed in this army village, and the leading general is the veteran Huang Gai, who has a high prestige. Zhou Tai is also considered to be fateful, when he was just transferred out of the big tent in the water village, the big tent was hit with several fire crossbow arrows.

The Wei warships temporarily retreated after wreaking havoc, and thus the curtain came down on the great water battle that decided the fate of the Wu State on the Niumu River.

In this battle, the main force of the Wu State Naval Division Zhou Taibu was almost completely annihilated, 3,500 warships were sunk nearly 2,000 ships, there were still many warships burning that night, revealing a miserable beauty, more than 1,000 large and small warships were captured, the Wu State Naval Division suffered countless casualties, and more than 3,000 people were captured!

However, the price of the Wei army is also very large, nearly ten sixth-level battleships were sunk, but the decisive role of several fourth-level battleships did not lose much, and the fifth-level battleships did not lose one, nearly 1,000 dead and wounded, this can be said to be a big victory, but when I think of the construction cost of the sixth-level battleship, Gan Ning feels distressed, this is his precious belongings, in Gan Ning's opinion, the loss of ten sixth-level battleships and the most lacking naval talent of Great Wei, this is completely a residual victory, I don't know if Zhou Tai will kill this cheap and well-behaved Gan Ning when he learns about it.

Early the next morning, there was a magnificent scene of thousands of sails racing on the surface of the Niu Confused River, and the Fourth Army Corps of the Wei Army began to cross the river, and Huang Gai, who got the news at the first time, personally led the main force of the army to the landing site and set up a defensive position along the line.

However, the Wei army did not immediately launch a landing operation, and thousands of large ships carrying 40,000 vanguard troops stopped at the center of the river, which was more than a mile away from the opposite bank, and the Yangtze River downstream was no better than those small ravines in Liaodong, and its river surface was extremely wide, giving people the feeling of the sea on a foggy day.

More than 100 battleships, led by several fourth-class battleships, went out to a place more than 100 paces away from the river bank and stopped, and then turned sideways and lined up.

At this time, a general beside Huang Gai shouted in horror: "General, let the army retreat, the Wei army is going to cast a demon spell!" ”

This general was a general of the sailors under Zhou Tai, and the sailors were almost all wiped out, and Zhou Tai was seriously injured, so the remaining more than 20,000 sailors were temporarily incorporated into Huang Gai's command.

Huang Gai slapped the panicked general to the ground and shouted: "As a general, he actually bewitched the public, and if someone comes, drag it down and take the twenty boards!" ”

The two pro-soldiers immediately came out and dragged down the generals who were still distinguishing without saying a word (to be continued). )
