Gan Ning led his army to burn down the granary in Chaisang City and captured the guard Xu Sheng alive.
They did not stay much longer and withdrew as quickly as possible and returned to the ship.
Just when the army led by Gan Ning had just returned to the ship, a sentinel ship suddenly came to report, "Report! General! There is a Jiangdong warship approaching in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River!"
Lu Yan's eyes flashed with light when he heard this, and he asked: "Can we find out how many warships there are and how many people are there?"
"There are countless large and small battleships covering the sky, probably no less than two to three thousand! The number of people is estimated to be at least more than 100,000!"
Lu Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and murmured: "It seems that the Jiangdong Army should have withdrawn from Runan and Hefei!"
Gan Ning heard Lu Yan's words and came up to him and asked: "Doesn't that mean that we have broken the trap set up by Jingzhou and Jiangdong!?"
"It was broken long ago! The moment the teacher led the navy into the Yangtze River, this situation was already broken!" Sima Yi said with a smile beside him.
"It's still a piece of cake, sir!" Gan Ning said, giving Lu Yan a thumbs up.
"Since the enemy is so enthusiastic, we can't appear too cold." Lu Yan put his hands behind his back and said to Gan Ning and Su Fei: "The command of the navy will be handed over to you. Give me a hard blow to the Jiangdong Navy."
Master’s arrogance!”
Although the enemy had more than 20 times the number of their own ships, Gan Ning and Su Fei still showed a confident smile on their faces and said: "Don't worry, sir, today we will show these Jiangdong loaches what it means."
A real water fight!”
"Go." Lu Yan nodded and said.
"Here!"
After Gan Ning and Su Fei left, various orders immediately spread.
"Order to move the ship sideways!"
"Hey hey hey!!"
After a while, the three-masted warships led by Gan Ning and Su Fei all faced the Jiangdong Navy led by Zhou Yu.
When the navy led by Zhou Yu came 300 steps away from Cao's fleet, they happened to see their move.
Zhou Yu frowned, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
There are mainly three types of naval battle routines at this time:
The first is long-range archery, but this can only shoot the soldiers on the deck, but cannot hurt the soldiers behind the bunker. It is usually used as a drain.
The second is to use the ramming angle on the bow to ram the enemy ship, or to set fire to the ship after getting close.
The third type is to jump into a gang, focusing on close combat and engaging in brutal hand-to-hand combat.
At this moment, Lu Yan's naval force actually took the initiative to expose the weakest side of the ship's hull. Are they actively seeking death?
Not to mention Zhou Yu, even Sun Quan, Lu Su, Cheng Pu and others were a little confused.
Just after Jiangdong's army got closer, Zhou Yu finally saw the black cannons on the other side's ship!
At this moment, Zhou Yu immediately thought of the powerful weapons used by Cao Jun to defeat Han!
Suddenly, Zhou Yu was horrified, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Send my military order, all warships except the building ships, increase their horsepower and charge forward!"
Zhou Yu's voice is almost crazy!
Although I don’t know why Zhou Yu, who has always been calm, suddenly became so impatient,
But none of the Jiangdong soldiers who had always worshiped Zhou Yu as the god of the army did not hesitate at all. They drove their warships and charged towards Cao Jun's navy at the fastest speed!
"fire!"
Unfortunately, when Zhou Yu issued the order, Gan Ning also shouted to fire.
Suddenly, the sky-shaking roar of artillery sounded again on the river!
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
A series of roars of artillery echoed on the river.
The first one to bear the brunt was the stern that rushed to the front and planned to use its ramming angle to ram the enemy ship.
One hundred warships and more than three hundred artillery pieces all opened fire!
With just one salvo, dozens of warships and fighting ships were sunk by those charging on the road!
"Chuck...cluck..."
"This...this...is...impossible!"
"What are those, what are those!"
Huang Gai was a little incoherent and stared at the river.
A warship can be sunk directly from a distance of three hundred steps???
What the hell kind of weapon is this meow!
Cheng Pu, Lu Meng and others on the side also had expressions of shock and horror on their faces.
"This is too scary!"
"I heard that Lu Yan can summon thunder to attack the enemy. Is this another magic trick of Lu Yan's envoy?"
...
Before Jiangdong's soldiers could get over their shock.
When Gan Ning saw that the enemy's large ship was only five hundred steps away from them, he actually ordered his warships to adjust the angle of the artillery and vaguely aimed at the large ship behind the charging fleet!
Zhou Yu, who had been carefully observing the new weapons on the enemy's warships, immediately discovered the abnormal movements of those artillery pieces.
Seeing that the cannons had raised the angle of their barrels, Zhou Yu's heart thumped and he secretly said: "Not good!"
"No! Retreat quickly! The building and the ship retreat with all their strength!" Zhou Yu shouted again, his voice almost hoarse.
However, the building ship is bulky and requires constant response time whether it is starting or turning.
Just when they were ready to get the building boat moving,
"Boom!"
Cao Jun's warships followed with another salvo!
Countless cannonballs soared into the sky from the barrel, crossed a dark parabola, and landed in the river next to Sun Quan and Zhou Yu's flagship!
"POP!!!"
The cannonball fell into the water and stirred up a water column dozens of meters high!
Sun Quan stared at the water column in horror, and shouted in horror: "Damn it! This damn warship can actually attack a distance of more than 400 steps?!"
In fact, not to mention the distance of 400 steps, even 4,000 steps is still within the firepower range of this artillery! It’s just that the distance is too far, and you don’t know how much the accuracy will deviate...
"Bang bang bang!!!"
The artillery fire was continuous, and most of the hundreds of shells fell into the water, but there were still more than ten selected shells that hit the Jiangdong Navy's building ship!
Although the cannonballs in Jiangdong's ships are all made of the finest wood, they have been built after decades of special treatment and are said to be strong and wear-resistant.
But in front of artillery, they are still as fragile as a piece of tissue paper!
The artillery shells equipped by Cao's army are all solid bullets. Although the killing area of the solid bullets is somewhat insufficient, its single-target damage is extremely terrifying!
After those dozen solid bullets hit the building ship,
Then he directly penetrated the hull,
No matter how many layers you have, they will all give you a chill!
In just less than a cup of tea, Jiangdong Navy not only lost dozens of ships, battleships and other warships, but also three high-rise ships were hit, leaving several transparent holes, and the river water puff puff puff.
He was trying his best to get into the cabin.
Sun Quan's flagship was lucky not to be hit, but when he looked at the overtime workers next to him and the sawdust flying everywhere on the floor, he felt a chill in his heart...
The other generals were all frightened at this moment.
"I never expected that the enemy's weapons, not only powerful, would have such a long range!"
"How to fix it?"
Lu Meng looked at Zhou Yu at a loss, "Commander, what should we... do?"
Seeing Jiangdong's most proud warship so vulnerable in front of Cao Jun, Zhou Yu's heart seemed to be bleeding.
