Chapter 554 Lou Boat Crossing the River Seeing that Gan Ning was about to move forward with a halberd and Cai Mao, he heard the sound of the wind, and an arrow came quickly and urgently, so startled that Gan Ning hurriedly waved the three-pronged halberd to block it, and knocked the extremely powerful crossbow arrow away.
Looking back, I saw a general rushing by boat, and after shooting that arrow, the ship had just hit the flagship of the Jingzhou army, and the man threw down his longbow and rushed towards Gan Ning with a knife: "Gan Ning child, Hugh is arrogant, eat me Wei Yan with a knife" Due to the change of history, Wei Yan emerged in the Jingzhou Army in advance and became one of Cai Mao's right-hand men, so seeing that Cai Mao on the flagship was in trouble, Wei Yan naturally came to the rescue by spaceship.
Gan Ning had been in the Jingzhou army, so he naturally heard Wei Yan's name, so he abandoned Cai Mao at the moment, and lifted the three-pronged halberd to meet Wei Yan. throat With a heavy loud bang, the swords and halberds collided, and the sparks in the sky splashed and pierced people's eyes.
The two sturdy bodies shook slightly, and bounced several feet apart from each other.
Wei Yandan felt that his qi and blood were swaying, and he took a deep breath before he calmed down, and the contempt in his heart was instantly swept away, replaced by a deep shock.
Gan Ning's strength is beyond his imagination, and he can't imagine that the unknown generals in the Jingzhou Army in the past are so strong in martial arts that they are really not under him.
Wei Yan roared, lifted the war knife and continued to move forward, and the two fought together again, only to see a sword light halberd shadow, attacking each other more than a dozen times in a row.
Soon, Wei Yan realized that something was wrong, his strength may be slightly inferior, but he will not be defeated after less than a hundred moves.
It was his weapon that was defeated, and the long knife cast in stainless steel was cracked by the chrome steel halberd on it with more than a dozen deep marks, and it was very likely that the handle of the knife would be cut off by Gan Ning's halberd and turned into a double-knuckle knife.
Wei Yan was frightened, and while entangled with Gan Ning, he squinted his eyes, only to see that Cai Mao had taken advantage of this moment to escape from the flagship, and escaped on a ship surrounded by a group of personal soldiers. throat Another spark splashed, and the stainless steel hilt of the baby's arm was cracked by the chrome steel war halberd, and if it was an ordinary hard-camphor wooden blade or iron handle, I am afraid it would have been cracked in two.
Where did Wei Yan dare to fight again, he shook his sword towards Gan Ning at the moment, turned around and jumped onto the warship next to him, and fled in a hurry.
Gan Ning didn't chase either, he flew straight to the top of the fighting ship with the three-pronged halberd, ran to the main flag standing tall on the flagship, and swept it over viciously with a vicious halberd.
Click The flagpole of the main flag snapped, and the main flag fluttering in the wind fell down with a sigh, and the tail end smashed on a Jingzhou warship on the side.
After Gan Ning cut down the main flag, he jumped back to the Flying Tiger battleship with his halberd, rushed back to his own flagship, and issued the order for the whole army to attack.
Knock knock Woooooooo The drums of war were urgent, the horns sounded loudly, hundreds of Tengjiao warships launched a general attack on the Jingzhou warships, and the continuous crossbow arrows poured down towards the Jingzhou warship group like a downpour, and the big ships went on a rampage directly, and those small warships and flying tiger warships used their galloping speed to pursue small ships or surround big ships.
The main flag fell, which meant the loss of the flagship, and the rest of the Jingzhou naval ships that were still fighting hard saw the loss of the flagship, and the military spirit collapsed in an instant.
The ships, having lost their command, soon fell into a situation of fighting on their own.
Under the attack of the strong Tengjiao Naval Army, the leaderless Jingzhou warships resisted for a moment, and the ships turned their bows and fled one after another.
Gan Ning could not allow the enemy ships to escape, so he immediately urged the fleet to chase after the enemy ships.
Just as Gan Ning was about to crash into the enemy village and annihilate the Jingzhou naval army in one fell swoop, the fence of the water village had been closed, and iron chains came out horizontally, blocking the river and blocking the direction of the warship.
Gan Ning immediately ordered to stop the attack, and stopped the fleet in the center of the river, the strength of the enemy and us is almost the same, if you break into the water village, not only will you have to face the stubborn resistance of the Jingzhou army and naval warships, but also face the rain of arrows of the defenders in the tens of thousands of water villages, even if you force the attack, it will be a miserable victory, and he will naturally not touch the mold.
The task given to him by Emperor Yan Gongsun Bai was only to defeat the Jingzhou naval army and control the river.
Although it failed to attack the enemy's water village, it killed thousands of enemies and captured more than 50 warships, which can also be described as a complete victory.
In the water village on the north bank of the Han River, the sound of cheers and cheers rises like a tide, rumbling and shaking the heavens and the earth.
Gongsun Bai stood on the watchtower in the middle of the water village and laughed: "I have a prosperous tyrant, why not be afraid of the Jiangnan Water Army" He suddenly turned his head and shouted to the generals behind him: "Order all the troops and horses, pack up and prepare to cross the river tomorrow, kill the Han River, and take Xiangyang City directly."
In the early morning of the next day, hundreds of thousands of Yan troops, a piece of black oppression, crowded the north bank of the Han River.
On the north bank of the river, there are several behemoths that stand like high mountains, which are the building ships of the Yan army.
The building ship is as high as more than ten zhang and dozens of zhang wide.
Although the power is huge, the hull is too high, the operation is not flexible, and it is easy to capsize if the speed is too fast, and it is difficult to keep up with the rhythm of the battle if the speed is too slow.
Even the Jiangdong Navy has to be cautious, most of the Tengjiao Army Navy has only trained more than a year of recruits, if you want to control the building ship to fight, it is very likely that the ship will capsize and die, or if you slowly sway on the river, it will slow down the speed of the entire battle fleet, and the gains outweigh the losses.
However, after a year of training, it was no problem for the soldiers to maintain a slow and uniform speed on the Hanshui River, where the wind and waves were small, so the Lou ship became a large transport ship.
A building ship can carry 3,000 people, and it is a moving castle on water, and its defensive power is absolutely unmatched by any warship, equivalent to the aircraft carrier of that era.
In addition to carrying thousands of soldiers at a time, the biggest advantage of using a building boat to carry people is that there is no need to worry about the enemy army intercepting the riverside.
Woooooooo The horn sounded, the waves on the river were loud, and the six building boats slowly sailed towards the other side of the Han River at the same time, although the speed was extremely slow, but it was extremely stable.
When they gradually drove to the center of the river, Gan Ning had already led the Tengjiao army fleet to block the river, and gradually maintained the formation to advance to the shore with the progress of the ship's advance, preventing the Jingzhou navy from raiding and making trouble.
Sure enough, not long after, a white cloud suddenly appeared in the upper reaches of the Han River, and in a blink of an eye, the white expanse was overwhelming, and the rolling river was enveloped.
The endless white is the countless sails of the ship.
Jingzhou Navy, more than 1,000 warships, flags and banners, soldiers and armor, the mighty and mighty up the river, thousands of sails gathered, like the white yarn of the Yangtze River.
Although Cai Mao is a mediocre talent, but he is not an absolute fool, after getting the news that the enemy's building boat crossed the river, although he was surprised by the enemy's advanced shipbuilding technology, but also knew the danger of the situation, so he once again mustered up the courage and led the crowd to come out, wanting to break through the interception of the Tengjiao army, raid the enemy's building ship, and block the Gongsun army's army from boarding.
Only this time, the river wind was blowing south, and Gan Ning had the advantage of a tailwind, and he was even more fearless of the Jingzhou naval army with equal troops.
With Gan Ning's order, thousands of sails raced, and the dense Tengjiao army fleet was full of sails, and rushed towards the Jingzhou naval army at all costs, the sails were blowing, plus the power of the oars of the vehicles and ships and warships, making this invincible fleet crash into the enemy viciously like a behemoth monster.
After all, the Han River is not comparable to the Yangtze River, although the river is wide, but at this time the Tengjiao army has passed the center of the river, thousands of warships are hedging against each other, and it has crowded half of the river in the south, at this time all tactics and controls have lost their effectiveness, comparing whose warships are strong, crossbow arrows are strong, rough and simple.
It's like two giants fighting in a narrow room, whoever has a hard fist and strong resistance to blows wins, and the skill of flashing and moving is completely unleashed.
By the time Cai Mao wanted to disperse the queue and outflank the Yan warship from both wings, it was already too late, and the Yan warship was like a rampaging monster, viciously ramming into the body, and the only way to resist it was to resist hard.
The result can be imagined, Cai Mao, who came with courage, once again witnessed the strength of the Dayan ships, and once again presented a big victory to the newly built Dayan Navy to boost their morale.

In front of the sturdy Yan warship, the warships of the Jingzhou army were smashed into a mess, and then bathed in an endless rain of arrows, only to resist for a while, and then fled one after another.
Xiangyang, the palace of the Southern Han Dynasty, the sick Liu Biao, sitting on the couch in the imperial study with vigor, was convening a group of important ministers to urgently discuss the war.
Yesterday, Cai Mao reported the news of the defeat in the water battle, and all the civil and military forces in Xiangyang from Liu Biao and below were shocked.
Everyone never imagined that the Yan army, which had just given up the saddle horse and fought the boat, could actually defeat the Jingzhou naval army that crisscrossed the Jianghan on the river So Liu Bei took the opportunity to make a statement, claiming that Cai Mao was incompetent in water warfare, and that Huang Zu should be dispatched to command the naval army on the Han River, otherwise the Yan army would cross the river sooner or later, and Xiangyang would be in danger.
Huang Zu, although he is only a mediocre talent in the romance, is a well-known ruthless character in Jingzhou, and he is also Liu Biao's most trusted confidant.
Huang Zu guarded Xiakou for more than ten years, in the face of the ferocious Jiangdong Army's attack was weak, but the defense was unambiguous, the only time the defense line was broken back to the Sun Jian era of that year, but it was that battle Huang Zu became famous in the first battle, and attacked and killed Jiangdong Menghu Sun Jian outside Xiangyang City.
Obviously, when it comes to the ability of water warfare, Huang Zu is obviously a lot higher than Cai Mao.
At this time, even Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, who had always been on Cai Mao's side, agreed with Liu Bei's suggestion.
Liu Biao naturally knew that the situation was critical, and immediately agreed to Liu Bei's request.
At this moment, a eunuch outside the palace sent an urgent report from outside the palace that the Yan army had crossed the river and landed in the south of Xiangyang "What" Liu Biao's pale face turned flushed with anger, and he asked angrily, "Even if Cai Mao's army is defeated by the Yan army, is it possible that the defenders on the dry village are all eating dry rice, how can they let the Yan army land on the shore?"
After Liu Bei carefully read the emergency report, he said helplessly: "The Yan army crosses the river with a building boat, six building boats can transport nearly 20,000 troops, the building boat is as high as ten zhang, the thief army is condescending, and the crossbow arrows are stronger than ours, how can the defenders in the dry village resist?"
"House Boat" The ministers in the entire imperial study were instantly messy again.
Lou ship, they have heard of this thing, Lou ship started in the Spring and Autumn Period, perfected in the Han Dynasty, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had built a building ship to conquer South Vietnam, everyone is not unfamiliar.
However, Gongsun Bai's newly-built naval army was able to build building ships, and actually built six ships to carry people at once, which once again subverted everyone's cognition.
"The only way to do this is to take advantage of the fact that the second batch of soldiers and horses of the thief army have not yet landed, and the minister is willing to lead a large army to besiege the thief army that has landed and block its follow-up soldiers and horses from landing, otherwise once the thief army has all landed, Xiangyang City will be in danger."
"Let's follow the emperor's brother's plan" Liu Biao, who was already weak and now depressed, fainted after saying this.
I'm sorry everyone.,The water war is not easy to write.,Inkblot.,Accidentally passed 12 o'clock.,Please forgive me for the unfinished future.。。
