All large ships are unavoidable in that they are bulky and inflexible, so they need the coordinated operations of Sea Falcon and Zouke.
Lin Renzhao used fire ships to force the warships forward. At the same time, he used the Wu Yueya warship to attack the sea falcon and Zuoke, which were avoiding the sea of fire, and separated the Jiangnan Navy's warships from the sea falcon and the sea falcon, making full use of their upstream advantage.
Without the cooperation of the Sea Falcon and Zouke, it would be difficult for the fighting ship to deal with the Sea Falcon and Zouke attacking from both sides.
Lin Renzhao then used the Wu Yue Ya ship of the same tonnage to block the way of the stern fighting ship, trapping it inside.
Can't advance, can't retreat.
Lin Renzhao looked at the main deck ship that had stepped forward to support the stern battleship, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "As expected of Chen Tie's son, he has the courage to fight to the death. Send the order, left and right Wu Yueya ships, attack the enemy from a flank
Fleet ship."
Lin Renzhao had obtained detailed information about the ships in Chen Decheng's hands beforehand.
The treatment of the navy under Chen Decheng and that under Chai Kehong are very different.
Chen Decheng has a limited number of warships.
Fighting ships are the main force that determines the situation of the battle. As long as the opponent's fighting ships are trapped, Chen Decheng is really determined to win and will definitely take the risk of using a building to rescue him personally.
Lin Renzhao's accomplishments in water warfare are far beyond what Chen Decheng can match.
The Wu Yue Ya ship, which was originally attacking the Jiangnan Sea Falcon and the Ke Ke on both wings, received the semaphore order and immediately charged at Chen Decheng's tower ship diagonally, forming a flanking attack from the left and right.
The advantages of upstream are fully demonstrated at this moment.
The Wu Yue Ya ship is also a large warship with limited maneuverability.
But driven by the current, it easily completed the pincer attack on the building ship.
Chen Decheng had to stop to deal with the Wu Yue warships that were attacking from both sides. He could only watch helplessly as the warships were swallowed up by the Central Plains Navy.
The bottom of a fighting ship was hit by a sea falcon, and the fighting ship gradually sank.
The blackheads of hundreds of soldiers who fell into the water floated together in the river. They were already trying to escape from the battlefield because of their good water properties. However, as the battleship sank, a huge tornado vortex formed on the river, and many soldiers completely disappeared from the green water.
Disappeared on the water.
The Central Plains Navy successfully boarded the remaining fighting ships and began to fight for control on the deck.
Seeing this, Lin Renzhao issued the last order. The main warship bypassed the Jiangnan stern warship and directly faced Chen Decheng's warship. There was a duel...
The old Chen family had guarded Jianzhou for more than ten years. Capturing Chen Decheng alive could easily win over Jianzhou's people.
In addition, since the other party was the son of an old friend, Lin Renzhao had no intention of killing him due to both emotion and reason.
Chen Decheng watched himself falling into a disadvantage bit by bit, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. The fighting ship had already taken control, while the opponent's Wu Yue Ya ship was still on standby and did not go into battle.
He had used all his backup options, but the opponent still had a trump card. His ability in water combat was no different from that of the uncle opposite him.
Thinking that Lin Renzhao could defeat the naval forces in Ezhou and Jiangnan under the countercurrent, he also had hope.
In the end, it's just self-humiliation.
"Down!"
There is no point in continuing the fight as it will only increase casualties.
There was a bit of confusion in Chen Decheng's eyes, Jiangnan was finished...
In fact, Jiangnan still has a glimmer of hope, and it lies in the hands of Chai Kehong.
Chai Kehong held the most elite navy in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as Chai Kehong led the navy northward and stormed the Yangtze River pontoon, he would still have a chance to destroy the supply lines in the Central Plains and gain a chance to turn defeat into victory.
But Chai Kehong did not realize this.
It's not a lack of ability, but a cognitive bias.
Chai Kehong had no concept of the Yangtze River Floating Bridge at all when generals such as Han Chongyun, Tang Jingsi, Zhang Congen, and Zhao Chao attacked the Jiangnan Water Village.
The soldiers in the Jiangnan water village did not know that the soldiers from the Central Plains crossed the Yangtze River on the pontoon bridge.
The defeated soldiers hurriedly snatched several boats, and the yacht reported to Chai Kehong.
Chai Kehong was on a large river, located at the mouth of the Yangtze River in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. He had no idea that a pontoon bridge across the Yangtze River had appeared upstream a hundred miles away.
After they learned that their retreat was cut off, they immediately stopped their attack on the Jiangbei camp and withdrew somewhat panicked to explore the situation.
Let’s see if there is anywhere along the Jiangnan coast where their navy can dock.
Searching along the river, we found that all the docks and ports in the south of the Yangtze River were controlled by the Central Plains.
Even civilian ferries and commercial docks are guarded by Central Plains soldiers.
When their ships passed by, they could still hear the Central Plains soldiers on the shore singing Li Bai's poems and advising them to surrender.
"The Phoenix travels on the Phoenix platform, and the Phoenix River flows away from the platform. The flowers and plants of the Wu palace are buried in the secluded paths, and the clothes of the Jin Dynasty become ancient hills. The three mountains are halfway to the blue sky, and the two rivers are divided into Bailuzhou. There are always floating clouds that can block the sun, and Chang'an is nowhere to be seen.
People are sad.”
The song "Ascending the Phoenix Tower of Jinling" was shouted out at this time, and the effect was no different from Han Xin's embarrassment on all sides.
Chai Kehong's department, which had lost all contact with Jiangnan, had no idea what the current situation in Jiangnan was.
Some are just fear of the unknown.
Jiangnan is destroyed?
still?
Chai Kehong tried his best to maintain morale, but panic still spread among the troops.
If it were on land, given the current morale of the Jiangnan navy, deserters would have been everywhere.
Jinling's hometown has already served it, so what else is there to fight for?
Above the river, the situation is slightly better.
But it was still unavoidable that some junior generals would secretly surrender on yachts due to the convenience of their positions.
The most critical point is that the Jiangnan Navy is in danger of running out of food.
Chai Kehong frowned and said, "We still have a few days of food!"
Sun Zhen's face was a little pale. The situation they faced was almost desperate: "It only takes two days. If we gather the food in the hands of the soldiers, we can last a few more days."
Chai Kehong said hurriedly: "No, with the current morale, confiscating the food in their hands will only cause greater panic."
This water battle is not a land battle.
Marine soldiers carry ten and a half days' worth of food with them. There are also food reserves in the army and logistical supplies in the rear.
And their logistics supply line is at the water village behind them. When they are tired and need supplies, the rear can send them to them anytime and anywhere.
They can also return to the village to rest anytime and anywhere.
There is no need to carry extra food and grass and increase the burden.
It’s also troublesome to light a fire and cook on the boat…
Therefore, even though they went into battle for only a few days, they were already in danger of running out of food.
"What should we do?" Sun Zhen's voice was trembling.
Chai Kehong loosened and tightened his fists, and then said after a while: "It's better to go upstream, maybe we can still get a chance of survival."
Faced with Sun Jing's suspicious gaze, he paused and said: "Zhang Xiong did not pursue us after we withdrew, but directly led the Central Plains Navy to the north. His behavior was weird, there must be something wrong in the north."
Sun Zhen looked at Chai Kehong without saying a word and said: "With the current morale of our army, can it still be the opponent of the Central Plains Navy? Going north is still at a disadvantage against the current..."
Chai Kehong was speechless.
Yes, even if there is a problem in the north, how can we fight against the current situation?
Just when the two of them were looking sad, another piece of bad news came.
"Commander Zhu Hao separated from the main force in the stern fighting ship and headed towards the water village in the south of the Yangtze River."
