Chapter 4089 The boat separates and prepares for fire attack
On the Huanglong warship of the Jin army, drums were beating loudly, horns were roaring, and all the torches were lit, making the river brightly lit and illuminating the battlefield ahead. Floating corpses and broken wood were covered in the surrounding area.
Three hundred steps across the river, one wave after another rushed towards the four giant ships behind them.
There are still more than a dozen Tianshi Daomengchong warships that survived and did not sink or break into pieces. They are also rising and falling in these waves. It can be seen that the surviving sailors on the ship are trying their best.
The ground tried to stabilize the rudder, but these ships, which were neither anchored nor of sufficient tonnage, were unable to stabilize their hulls. They could only watch the floating corpses and debris flowing down the river.
Under the impact, it quickly swayed and rotated on the river surface.
Small whirlpools can even form on the river surface between each other, causing these warships to sway and drift until they collide, and finally sink into these eddies, turning into a pile of new wood chips and floating corpses.
Liu Daogui grasped the railing in front of him tightly. Now his ship was swinging violently as it passed through the river in front. More than thirty Huanglong warships could only describe their current state as riding the wind and waves, floating on the river.
On top of the waves, we flowed down the river, constantly rushing forward.
The floating corpses and wooden blocks scattered all over the river continued to hit the hull of the Huanglong Warship. Coupled with the up and down bumps in the waves, everyone on the deck of the ship was like duckweed in the wind.
Swaying this way and that, if Liu Daogui hadn't grasped the railing as tightly as he did, he would have been thrown out of the warship like the unlucky ones on the Tianshi Dao warships before, and was swallowed up by the wind and waves outside.
Lu Gui opened his mouth wide and breathed hard. He wanted to vomit several times, but finally held back. After passing the wave, he shook his head with difficulty and said: "Damn it, damn it, this is it."
How does the wind and waves feel? Grandma’s is more exciting than the fierce horses I have tamed.”
Liu Daogui smiled slightly and said: "Xiang Tusk, if you have time to ride less on horses and take more boats, you won't be like this. You have been staying in Jiangling for more than half a year. Why are you still dizzy after taking a boat? You look like this
, how can we fight and kill people in a while?"
Lu Gui said angrily: "Commander, it's unfair for you to say that. We have always come to fight on land, but we never said where to take a boat. Besides, this kind of wind and waves is not common. What did you just say?
You have been standing still, saying that you are waiting for the opportunity. Could it be that you are just waiting for this river to appear?"
Liu Daogui said confidently: "Yes, on the river in this season, at midnight every day, there will be a surge of southward river currents, and the whirlpool in the river caused by the big collision just now will intensify.
The speed of this river current is now a west wind. We cannot use the wind speed to attack, so we can use this river current instead. Moreover, the fierce river current can also impact the giant ships and weaken the power of their long-range weapons."
Yanzhi smiled and said: "Brother Daogui, you are too worried. There are no long-range weapons on the enemy's giant ship. You see, the huge wave just now has already wiped out the catapults and ballistae on their decks."
Everything has been washed away. If we rush over now, we can board the giant ship directly and kill them!"
Liu Daogui said calmly: "This sudden change was not part of our pre-war plan. You must know that we have to break through the obstruction of the enemy's convoy fleet, lower the boat during the fierce battle, and then jump back from the small boat.
We were prepared to attack the enemy's giant ship and burn it with pheasant tail torches, but now, the situation has changed, and our tactics must also change accordingly."
Lu Gui laughed, waved the big ax in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "My battle ax can't wait to drink the enemy's blood. Brother Daogui, don't use the pheasant tail torch. Let's rush over and pick up the ship."
Fight, board the giant ship, and kill these demon thieves!"
Liu Daogui shook his head: "Xiang Tusk, don't let the small lose the big. I don't need to consider capturing the enemy's giant ship. With the strength of our Jingzhou Navy's boatmen and sailors, we have never sailed such a giant ship. Even if we capture it,
It can't drive the ship, and it will still become a decoration and useless. But without the giant ship, the demon thieves will lose the power to control the river. They are no match for our Huanglong warship. Therefore, instead of capturing the giant ship,
Instead of burning them later, it is better to turn them into ashes now.”
Having said this, Liu Daogui paused: "Moreover, on the giant ship, although all the long-range weapons are gone, the soldiers are still there. At a height of five stories, we can also use our Huanglong warship to approach and board the ship.
Attack with sticks or falling rocks, we don't want to take such risks."
Until Yanzhi laughed: "Actually, there is a more important reason. Brother Daogui, this giant ship is now connected with iron ropes and added with wooden planks. Hehe, this is God's help, that is, let us attack with fire.
To eliminate them, as long as one is on fire, all four will not be able to escape. I am afraid that this is really Zhu Chaoshi's great contribution to us."
A cold light flashed in Liu Daogui's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Now, let all the attacking sergeants of Pheasant Tail Ju, that is, the suicide squad we have prepared, board the boat and tie it behind the Huanglong warship, a hundred steps away from the enemy.
Cut the rope, break away from the Huanglong warship, and then rush up to burn the enemy ship according to the original plan."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Lu Gui's face: "I really don't want to kill people anymore, so why am I here in vain today? However, if the Huanglong warship stayed where it was and only let the small boats attack, the enemy would not understand it all at once.
Do you understand what we mean?"
Liu Daogui laughed and patted Lu Gui on the shoulder: "Xiang Tusk, remember, soldiers are also deceitful. Our real killers are those small boats, and the Huanglong warship is in front, rushing between the giant ships, attacking
, knocking on the side of the enemy's ship, and even pretended to want to board the ship, so that all the enemy's attention was on fighting with our Huanglong warship. At this time, the small boat rushed in, knocked out the pheasant tail torch, and nailed it to the side of the enemy's ship.
Above, delay the fire. Once successful, the Huanglong warships and small boats all rush southward at the fastest speed, breaking away from the enemy giant ship. With the help of the river current, they attack quickly and retreat quickly, and withdraw from the battlefield before the fire burns them.
.”
Lu Gui turned around and laughed and said: "I see, then I won't have any regrets if I don't cut it. However, Brother Daogui, I have a merciless request, and I hope you agree."
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "Do you want to get on the boat and throw the pheasant tail torch yourself?!"
Lu Gui nodded vigorously and said: "Exactly, give me a chance, Brother Daogui."
Liu Daogui's eyes flashed coldly: "Go ahead, throw a few more, and throw mine in too!"
