The "whirring" wind blew from the southeast, and it would not stop for a while, and Jiang Qin's order to raid the Jingxiang Naval Division at this time was a decision after careful consideration.
Gan Ning stood on the bow of a fighting ship, as a pioneer, commanding the three thousand sailors of the former army, he naturally stood on the bow of the front and center.
Wearing armor and holding a long knife in one hand, he stood still in the face of the river wind, like an iron tower.
As long as he is there, the more than 200 old Jinfan people under his command will die desperately in a desperate battle with the enemy.
"Count our warships."
After the fleet sailed out of the vicinity of the water village, Gan Ning took the lead in giving the order.
"Report to the general, there are twenty fighting ships in front of me, fifty of them in the assault, eighty of them in the ship, and one hundred and twenty ships in the boat."
"The order is that the general will lead the fighting ships in front, first break through the enemy's formation, and then take the side for battle, and then lead the raids, ships, and boats to intersperse the enemy fleet, throw hooks and ropes, and set up gangplanks for battle."
"Whoa."
Gan Ning glanced at the fighting ships around him, and his eyes showed a little regret, after today's water battle, the first to die were these twenty fighting ships.
"What a good fighting ship, one can carry dozens of sergeants, and it can be attacked and defended."
If there are others on the ship at this moment, they can easily find that the cabin at the bottom of the fighting ship at this moment, except for those people who are rocking the oars, is already full of pine resin and tung oil, and they will take the initiative to ignite the warship when the two armies are engaged.
Fire attack is always the best choice for water warfare in this era.
Today it was a southeast wind, and there was no reason why the Jiangdong Navy Division should not choose such an offensive method.
There were more than 2,000 sergeants hidden on these 20 fighting ships, and they had to abandon the ship in a short time at the moment when the two armies engaged, because the fire would only get bigger and bigger, and the secret doors originally set up on the side of the hull played a key role.
"Report to the general, report to the sentinel ship ahead, the Jingxiang Naval Division has been nearly ten miles."
Gan Ning squinted, "Explore again." ” "Whoa."
Not long after, another sergeant came to report: "Report to the general, the Jingxiang Naval Division has been nearly seven miles, and its troops take the building boat first, and hide behind the building boat." ” The corners of Gan Ning's mouth were slightly outlined, "As expected, let's explore again." ” "Whoa."
When Gan Ning's warship drove out of the river a mile away, another battle report came, "Report to the general, the enemy warship has arrived" Gan Ning waved his hand to stop him from speaking, "So-and-so has seen it." ” When many sergeants heard this, they all stared at the river in the distance.
At the end of the turbulent river, one, two, three, dozens of black shadows jumped into their eyes, and after a few breaths, they saw countless black shadows, coming from Shangyou.
Within three miles, on the three-story boat that went down the river, two big flags with the word "Cai" were waving in the wind, and the sails were blowing and drumming under the strong wind.
Covering the sky and the sun, Gan Ning only thought of this one word in his heart at the moment, which he still saw from the handouts of the state school.
Erli, the warships of Gan Ning's department are lined up on the river, and twenty fighting ships are divided into two rows.
On the two three-story ships walking side by side on the opposite side, Cai Zhong tightened the hilt of the sword in his hand, "Order the bed crossbow to prepare, and give the Jiangdong Army a dismount first." ” "Whoa."
Five hundred paces, within the range of the bed crossbow.
"Shoot the arrows."
With Cai Zhong's order, on top of the six three-story ships at the head of the Jingxiang Naval Division, dozens of bed crossbows were already waiting for battle, and almost simultaneously released the arrows that left the string.
"Whoosh" dozens of long arrows, piercing the clouds and covering the sun, one by one grazed the hull of the ship, and also fell on the bow deck, penetrating the chest of a sergeant.
Four hundred paces, the bed crossbow on the opposite side has been fired two rounds in a row.
Gan Ning listened to the hurried footsteps behind him, and before the battleship collided, he had ordered the sergeant to abandon the ship and board the small boat sailing on both sides of the battleship after shooting arrows from the enemy's bed crossbow.
Three hundred steps, Gan Ning suddenly raised the long knife in his hand, "Sail and ignite." ” "Whew" "Whew" Forty sails were raised almost at the same time, Gan Ning looked at the two sails behind him, and waved his big hand to one side, "Abandon the ship." ” With that, he touched the side of the deck, pulled a rope in one hand, and leaped down, landing steadily onto a ship.
At the same time, the cabin deck suddenly parted from the middle, and a majestic flame suddenly rose.
Under this clear sky, the scene of twenty fighting ships igniting at the same time was captured by the sentinels on the opposite side almost instantly.
"Report to Lieutenant General Cai, the big thing is not good, the Jiangdong Army has used ships as bait and is preparing for a fire attack."
Cai Zhong's face was extremely ugly, "Quick, give the order to turn the rudder, avoid, avoid." ” "It's too late."
Compared with Cai Zhong, Cai He's expression was more calm, twenty fighting ships, such two-story warships are also the mainstay among the two thousand warships of the Jingxiang Naval Division, and the Jiangdong Army is so willing to put it in the front army and act as bait There is no way to avoid it, they have six three-story boats, each of which carries nearly 1,000 sergeants, after a large number of sergeants of the Jiangdong Army jumped from both sides of the ship, the hull of the ship became lighter, and the speed of the ship was faster, and the twenty fighting ships almost forcibly occupied the entire river, driving side by side, the gap between these fighting ships could almost only accommodate one or two small boats to pass, and the three-story boat was obviously not a small boat.
Soon, the situation here was also known to Cai Mao, who was sitting in the Chinese army.
"Order, to break the fire by taking the plunge, the naval warship docked on the north shore and entered the north shore of Chibi."
Cai Mao must avoid the spread of the fire, he knows that the means of the Jiangdong Army must not be so simple, he was in the rear of Ganning's front army, and also saw the building boat hanging the "Zhou" word general flag, that is the old-fashioned building ship, today's Jiangdong Army, the backbone of the naval division is composed of hundreds of vehicles and ships, Cai Mao naturally knows that at this time, the building ship will be dispatched, Jiang Qin's house, there must be a conspiracy.
Beyond a hundred zhang, on the three-story ship of Commander Zhou Tai, there were two catapults on each side of the ship, and there were six on the three-story deck, thirty building ships, and two hundred and forty catapults.
Zhou Tai's face was cold, seeing that the fire ship in front of him was about to collide with the building ship coming from the opposite side, and his two hundred and forty building ships were responsible for adding fuel to the fire.
"Order, the people who are rocking the oars will abandon the ship immediately."
Gan Ning, who was following behind the fireboat, suddenly ordered.
Soon, on the opposite side of the building boat, Cai Zhong Cai He saw the sides of the oncoming fighting ship, and suddenly opened the secret door, and a man in coarse cloth clothes, regardless of anything else, jumped straight into the icy river.
He was far away, and if he walked in and looked closely, he could find that these people were not actively seeking death, and before they fell into the water, they were all holding an object with a round tip at the top and a round end at the bottom
