Cao Cao now controls nearly two-thirds of the territory of the Han Dynasty. The pressure brought by this behemoth almost makes every general in Jiangdong breathless.
But in the face of oppression, some people will want to give in, while others will rise up to resist.
Most of the civil servants in Wu County are now trying to persuade Sun Quan to surrender.
However, Lu Su, Cheng Pu, Zhou Tai and others, who advocated the war to the end, temporarily suppressed them with their military power.
But they knew that if Peng Ze failed again in this battle, Jiangdong would probably be defeated like a mountain!
"This is Jiangdong's last chance to defeat Cao Jun's navy. God, open your eyes and let us win once!" Jiang Qin couldn't help but murmured to himself as he looked at the Han navy in front of him who was rapidly deploying its battle line.
Zhou Tai's half-closed eyes suddenly opened. Without saying a word, he raised the steel gun in his hand, raised his head slightly, and waited for the Chinese army's instructions!
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin did not disappoint. Cheng Pu, who was in the middle army, decisively issued an order for the entire army to assault!
"Dongdongdong!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The sound of war drums and horns suddenly sounded, and thousands of warships of Jiangdong Army, large and small, launched a high-speed charge on the wide river!
Similarly, on the side of the Han Navy, the sound of war drums also resounded through the sky, and the more than 150 warships began to turn around, turning their tall ships sideways to face the Jiangdong Navy, which was charging at full speed!
The Jiangdong navy, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately dispersed the small warships such as sterns and sailing boats that were at the forefront.
They kept the distance between each other as far as possible and minimized their losses when they were bombarded.
Jiangdong's small warships rushed towards the Han Navy from the front and from both sides.
The Han Navy, which had already been deployed, and the small warships following the three-masted warship, also accelerated forward, preparing to prevent the small warships of the Jiangdong Navy from approaching the three-masted warship.
However, something that caught Gan Ning and others’ surprise was that,
More than a hundred large ships in Jiangdong actually risked being bombarded and rushed at full speed into the range of Cao Jun's artillery!
But since Jiangdong Navy himself came to the door, Gan Ning, Su Fei and Xu Sheng naturally wouldn't be polite.
"ignition!"
"Set off the fire!
"
Gan Ning, Su Fei and Xu Sheng all personally operated a cannon.
Amid the crazy roar, the artillery roared again, venting its heaven-destroying fury!
“Boom boom boom!
"
Amidst the continuous shelling, the black shells slammed into the Jiangdong Army's ship.
But Jiangdong's army was not afraid at all, keeping the distance between them as much as possible, and then rushed to a position three hundred steps away from the Han Navy!
By this time, Jiangdong Navy had lost nine large ships.
But in Cheng Pu's opinion, this loss is completely worth it!
Cheng Pu drank with all his strength: "
catapult!
Turn!"
Jiangdong Navy's catapults took the lead in showing off their power!
Immediately afterwards, the warships of the Jiangdong Navy also began to aim sideways at the Han Navy.
Stones the size of human heads were thrown by catapults towards Cao's warships.
But although these rocks look powerful, very few of them can actually hit the warships of the Han Dynasty...
The speed of the stone bullets is still a bit slow, and the warships of the Han Navy are not destined to die. Of course they will not stand and be beaten.
But what the Han Navy did not expect was that the large ships in Jiangdong, while throwing stones, were also aiming their sides at the Han Navy.
The Jiangdong Navy's large ship actually had neat holes on its side. Under Cheng Pu's order, densely packed arrows protruded from the neat holes!
Xu Sheng looked forward in surprise, and murmured to himself with some confusion: "That's a bed crossbow? Is Jiangdong Army stupid? What effect can a bed crossbow have on a big ship? Unless it hits people, it won't matter.
Even if it hits the warship, it will hardly cause much damage!"
But before Xu Sheng could finish his thoughts, the hundreds of large warships of the Jiangdong Army suddenly fired out huge crossbow arrows with a roaring sound!
Gan Ning, who was at the front, had already seen the long clay pot tied to the thick crossbow arrow. His expression suddenly changed, and he thought of a very common but scalp-numbing thing, "Fire Fire"
Oil!
"
Obviously, Su Fei, who was experienced in water warfare, also thought of this, and he quickly ordered the warship to avoid the crossbow arrows.
But the speed of the crossbow arrows was much faster than the stone bullets. Almost in the blink of an eye, many arrows penetrated deeply into the walls and decks of the three-masted battleship.
Under the violent impact, the clay pot shattered instantly, and then the fire oil was thrown to every corner of the three-masted battleship!
At the same time, the catapults on the Jiangdong Navy's large ships also replaced the stone bombs with blazing fire bombs. The small warships approaching the Han Navy also moved towards the three-masted warship that was hit by crossbows.
Shoot the rocket in your hand!
There was a very unlucky warship in the Han Navy. It was hit by four crossbow bolts, then two more incendiary bombs, and then it was hit by thousands of rockets.
Before the soldiers on the ship could react, a burst of flames accompanied by an explosion instantly engulfed the entire three-masted warship. The soldiers on the ship screamed and had to jump into the lake to protect themselves.
Gan Ning looked at at least five warships that were engulfed in fire. He gritted his teeth with hatred and his eyes were bloodshot.
Since the formation of the Han Dynasty Navy, when did they suffer such huge losses?
On top of the lagging flagship, Lu Yan looked at his burning warship with a very serious expression on his face.
"When we all thought that the Jiangdong Navy would use small boats to harass and contain our military's firepower, the Jiangdong Navy unexpectedly chose to fight head-on.
And judging from the cooperation of catapults, crossbows and fire oil, they were obviously fully prepared.
We are still careless."
Hearing Lu Yan's words, Sima Yi and Jiang Wan couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Sir, how should we respond next?"
"I believe Xingba and the others will definitely have a way to deal with it. You don't have to worry too much."
Even though he said this, Lu Yan still secretly activated the skill [Enemies Searching for the Whole Army].
Lu Yan only used this skill once when he raided Wuhuan. Because that time Lu Yan felt the feeling of his body being squeezed dry, so he hid it and did not dare to use it again...
And now, seeing his own army at a disadvantage due to being targeted by the opponent, Lu Yan decisively activated this halo skill that can increase the movement speed of the entire army and make him more sensitive to the enemy's motives!
That's right, he, Lu Yan, cheated!
As a wall-hanger, wouldn't it be a disgrace to his status if he doesn't open the wall-hanger?
Therefore, after Lu Yan swallowed a handful of rejuvenation pills, he silently took out a scroll, then apologized, tore it up and read out: "Strike from a long distance!"
[Long-range attack: A small increase in the attack, range and hit rate of long-range units within the range, lasting for a quarter of an hour! 】
This is a one-time consumable item that Lu Yan received in a gift package last month, and it has been officially put to use today.
With the activation of [Enemies Searching for the Whole Army] and [Long Range Attack],
The soldiers of the Han Navy, who had been somewhat disgraced by the fire, suddenly felt trembling all over!
After that, they felt that not only did their actions become faster, but whether it was bows, arrows or artillery, the range, power and accuracy were slightly improved!
Although it is only a slight improvement, this is a large-scale battlefield with thousands of warships and more than 200,000 people.
A small improvement for each person will be a qualitative leap for the entire army!
Therefore, Cheng Pu, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and others were horrified to find that Cao Jun's cannonballs seemed to have eyes and roared to greet them on board.
The hit rate that was less than 1 in 10 before has now become 3 or 1 in 4!
This time a round of bullets fell, and nearly twenty large ships of the Jiangdong Navy were hit!
And the small boats that were fighting at close range were quickly suppressed by Cao Jun's arrows that suddenly became extremely sharp!
"Cao Jun, something is wrong!" This chapter has been completed!
