Chapter 78 The evil wind rises, Master Wang breaks his wings, Jiang Shuihong, the brave general swings
The Xiangyang Navy also moved in an orderly manner, rushing towards the imperial navy in an inverted shape.
The arrows coated with pine oil were already on the bowstrings. The soldiers holding flying forks and spears were also ready to throw.
All the warships on both sides, including the small boats behind them, beat drums and made noises and rushed towards each other.
Close, close!
Seventy meters, fifty meters, thirty meters!
Both sides can already see each other's face clearly!
Suddenly, the wind picked up!
put!
As the flags on the Chinese military ships were waved, tens of millions of rockets from both wings of the Xiangyang Navy were fired downwind at the enemy positions.
Similarly, the imperial navy also fired arrows calmly. However, the wind was too strong, and the arrows were blown away before half of them were shot. Only a few managed to hit the Xiangyang Navy's ship, and they touched it feebly.
It has no lethality at all.
The arrow array of the Xiangyang Navy was even more sharp. It turned out that it was the group of archers specially trained by King Ping. They arrived first and the arrows quickly ignited as soon as they hit the opponent's ship.
For a time, most of the ships on the Imperial Navy's side were in a state of panic.
But it wasn't over yet, the Xiangyang Navy's flying forks and spears came through the wind again.
Benefit, Benefit...
The sound was so terrifying and powerful that many soldiers were nailed to death in the panic.
The flag was waved quickly, and General Song Zhe, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Navy, took countermeasures with a livid face.
"General Song, the wind is now going against our army, please quickly order a retreat!"
The person who spoke was his deputy, Lin Feihu. The two of them were originally in the Jiangnan Navy, but later they committed an incident and were brought here by Prince Jing.
When it comes to water fighting skills, the two of them are still capable. However, they really did not expect the sudden change in the direction of the wind today, and they were caught off guard as soon as they entered the battle. At this time, if they turned around and ran away, they would lose the dignity of the court, and the two would be caught off guard.
It also demoralizes us. The two sides are very close to each other. The small boat may be able to turn easily, but how can the big ship turn around?
Therefore, he urgently ordered the warships of the navy to close the formation while extinguishing the fire, like clenching a fist, and concentrate their strength on one point.
It should be said that his usual training was still effective. After this order, although the warships were extremely frightened, they still worked hard to get closer.
"Feihu, quickly order the sword and shield soldiers to form a formation on the bow of the ship to guard against the enemy's arrow array!"
Song Zhe looked at Lin Feihu. This was the first battle between the two of them. Looking at the current situation, they were in a dilemma and the weather was unfavorable. No matter what, they had to withstand the first few waves of enemy attacks.
Sure enough, under his command, although the imperial navy paid a heavy price, they finally completed their approach and assembly. Only one warship had the most arrows and the biggest fire, and could no longer fight. The surviving soldiers on the ship had no choice but to
After falling into the water, he swam towards other boats due to poor water properties.
Wu Yingxiong laughed loudly and blew on his sword.
"The imperial navy is nothing more than that! Soldiers, kill them!"
With this order, the morale of the Xiangyang Navy was even higher.
At this time, the nearest warships on both sides were no more than a few meters apart, the power of bows and arrows was greatly reduced, and a close battle was imminent.
The aggrieved navy troops of the imperial court finally did not collapse into disarray. Those who put out the fire were put out, and those who faced the enemy were engaged in an orderly manner.
Those nimble and maneuverable boats rushed towards the enemy formation at full speed.
kill!
The warships of both sides have not yet exchanged hands, but the small ships have already taken over.
As the saying goes: When encountering each other on a narrow road, the brave will win. The soldiers on both sides were yelling at each other, with red eyes, and jumped up from the boat, waving their swords and slashing at each other.
Blood quickly dyed the river red.
Chapter completed!
