After hearing the order, the guards immediately made preparations for battle. When the Five-Tooth Battleship approached, they ignited the Thunderbolt and threw it with all their strength.
Thunderbolts like rain fell on the enemy ships one after another, and the Wuya warship at the front gradually sank amidst the huge explosion.
Jiang Chang, who was directing from behind, was instantly dumbfounded!
He did not expect that the invincible Five-Tooth Battleship of the Tang Navy would be so vulnerable.
I didn't expect that Yang Fan had prepared so many deadly weapons on the ship.
Even though the ship in front sank, Jiang Chang still directed the ship to quickly approach Su Dingfang's fleet.
He was well aware of the terror of Hong Tian Lei. If the boarding battle could not be launched as soon as possible, the five-tooth warships he had brought would only be a living target.
The navy soldiers had never seen such a tragic situation. They looked at the battleship in front and followed Shangfeng's order to get closer.
But before they could make contact, the Five-Tooth Battleship was blown up into a hornet's nest by thunder.
The screams of the injured soldiers on the ship resounded loudly, and the sounds of "plop-plop" falling into the water could be heard one after another.
Even some soldiers relied on the height of the Five-Tooth Battleship to jump over before the ship sank.
But after finally jumping onto the other side's boat, he suddenly found that his neck was being pressed against by a sharp blade. He had no choice but to surrender.
Some stubborn soldiers refused to surrender and wanted to fight back, but Yang Fan's guards would not tolerate them.
As long as anyone wanted to resist, as soon as the blade fell, countless round heads appeared on the deck of the ship, and the frightened soldiers who had not jumped over jumped into the river one after another.
The sound of booming and booming was endless, and between the loud noises, the Five-Tooth Battleship was blown to pieces in the gunfire, and sawdust splattered in the water with blood and flesh flying everywhere!
The same scene played out one after another for the Five-Tooth Battleships charging forward. As long as they got close to the fleet, the Five-Tooth Battleships suffered the most direct blow.
first ship
second ship
…
Until the sixth five-tooth battleship sank, Navy Vice Admiral Jiang Chang never issued an order to charge again.
Because he knew that under such fierce firepower, no matter how many five-toothed battleships there were, they would be nothing more than meat buns that would never come back.
For a moment, Jiang Chang was stunned!
At this time, in addition to the sounds of soldiers falling into the water and splashing in the river, there were also the screams of injured soldiers. The whole scene was like a purgatory on earth.
However, Yang Fan's guards were almost overjoyed.
They only need to aim the ignited thunderbolts at the enemy ships and throw them over...
Then light it again and throw it over again...
As long as the approaching Wuya warships were blown up, the enemies would either jump into the river one after another, or follow the damaged warships howling and sinking to the bottom of the river.
The guards really didn't expect that war would become so easy!
Even when faced with the Five-Tooth Battleship that was taller than them and an enemy that was twice their size, they actually easily gained the upper hand.
This greatly boosted the morale of the guards who had never seen blood before, and they all hoped that another battleship would come and kill them!
Su Dingfang was also shocked by the power of Hongtianlei!
Although Yang Fan told him that the Thunderbolt on the ship was much more powerful after modification, he did not expect that it would be so easy to destroy the Overlord Five-Tooth Battleship on the water.
This is so surprising!
Su Dingfang has even imagined the day in the future when he will lead a fleet across the world.
Cheng Minting, who was standing next to Su Dingfang, was completely dumbfounded.
I was originally worried that my side had no experience in water warfare, but it seemed that my worries were unfounded.
Cheng Mingting was secretly grateful for his decision. If he could lead such ships and soldiers in battle in the future, was he still worried that he would not get any credit?
Su Dingfang and the others were happy, but Jiang Chang's eyes were splitting!
Looking at the sawdust and corpses floating on the river... he was so painful that his heart was broken.
The original intention was to rely on the advantage of the five-tooth battleship's large size.
As long as they get close to Yang Fan's fleet, they can condescendingly defeat Yang Fan's guards with lightning speed, strangle them, and finally sink the ships and sink the river, destroying the bodies and destroying all traces of the people.
As long as it was done quietly, no one would be able to find out that it was their navy that did it.
But what Jiang Chang never expected was that the other party actually had such a powerful thunder.
Before the Wuya warship even got close, countless huge holes exploded in the hull.
If the river water pours in, there is no reason why the battleship will not sink.
Although it can be seen that these guards of Yang Fan have never been on the battlefield, the power of Hongtianlei is so incredible that it completely covers up the shortcomings of lack of experience!
What's more important is that even if the opponent's five-tooth battleship can get close, it has even hit your own ship.
However, our own ships were like the Great Wall of Steel, not even a single hair was damaged. This simply subverted Jiang Chang's understanding of water warfare.
With such a disparity in strength, how should we fight this battle?
Even if the gods come, we can't win!
In an instant, Jiang Chang was confused and didn't know what to do.
As a veteran of the navy, he knew very well the terror of warships like Yang Fan.
Former Sui general Yang Su led five five-tooth warships. Facing Chen's hundreds of warships, he dared to rush in and finally captured thousands of enemy troops!
It can be said that in fighting on the water, without the appearance of Yang Fan, the Wuya battleship would be almost invincible.
But now the five-toothed battleship, the overlord on the water, is as vulnerable as tofu. Jiang Chang can no longer think of any way to defeat these fleets in front of him.
If you want to defeat such a huge fleet while the opponent is seriously on guard, there is only one way - use the opponent's ships to defeat the opponent's warships!
But where could Jiang Chang get a ship like Yang Fan's? After all, this was the first time Jiang Chang had seen such a ship.
For a moment, Jiang Chang was so anxious that he almost went crazy. A bunch of hair was torn off his head without him realizing it.
Jiang Chang has no choice!
This time he privately mobilized the navy to secretly attack Yang Fan's fleet, and he was taking a huge risk.
Zhang Liang didn't know what he had in mind, but he actually wanted to keep Yang Fan in Suzhou.
And he also took the initiative to ask for a tassel to promise to the Jiangnan nobles that he would not allow Yang Fan to enter Jiangnan smoothly, hoping to gain the recognition of the Jiangnan nobles.
But now, he failed!
Jiang Chang could hardly imagine the consequences he was about to face.
After all, as long as Yang Fan's fleet cannot be destroyed silently, Jiang Chang will not be able to escape his guilt.
Now, not only have the troops been lost, but also a large number of five-tooth warships have been taken up. This matter can no longer be concealed.
The Navy is an army of the imperial court and is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Even Zhang Liang and the Jiangnan nobles cannot cover up for him.
Attacking the founding county magistrate of the current dynasty, the governor of Jiangnan Province, the consort of the two princesses, the son-in-law of His Majesty Li Er...
Jiang Chang can be sure that what awaits him will be a dead end.
Not only would he die, but his family would also suffer.
Is this Yang Fan sent by God to fight against the nobles of the world?
My family has just started to improve, and I wanted to use my own ability to take the family further, but now it fell into disgrace in front of Yang Fan.
It seems that the rise of the Jiang family has been cut off!
Even whether the Jiang family bloodline will have a chance to be passed down in the future is still unknown.
Jiang Chang looked up to the sky and sighed!
Is this God's will?
God forbids me, the Jiangnan Jiang family, to regain its prestige?
Looking at the broken wooden planks on the river, the struggling and howling soldiers, and the countless floating corpses, a flash of regret suddenly flashed in Sun Chang's eyes.
If Zhang Liang and the Jiangnan nobles hadn't acted for their own benefit, he wouldn't be in a desperate situation!
If it weren't for his own ambition, how could these subordinates who were as close as brothers end up here?
Although soldiers are proud to shed blood on the battlefield, even if they die, they should die on the battlefield to conquer foreigners.
In this way, you can not only become famous throughout the ages, but also earn glory and merit for the children of the family!
But what about now?
These soldiers died in this river inexplicably.
And it is very likely that he will have to bear the reputation of a traitor after his death. Who can bear this?
At this moment, Jiang Chang felt that he was so wrong!
Looking at the five-tooth warships sinking into the river bottom in the distance, Jiang Chang's eyes were full of distress and regret, and he bit the corner of his mouth fiercely, with blood flowing out of his mouth full of fishy smell.
After a while, Jiang Chang seemed to have made some kind of decision. He waved his hand violently and shouted: "All warships stop attacking, and all personnel hurry up to treat the wounded!"
Wang Liang, who was beside him, couldn't help but be slightly startled, and quickly asked: "General, what does this mean?"
Jiang Chang looked sad and said sadly: "What else can I do? Do you want me to watch all my brothers die here?"
"This matter was wrong from the beginning. If the general hadn't been blinded by selfishness, how could he have made such a big mistake?"
"You don't need to say anything more. You should immediately withdraw your troops and return them to the naval base. I will bear all the consequences of today's loss. Even if my family is destroyed, I will give my dead brother a clean slate!"
Wang Liang's eyes were red, and he didn't know how to persuade him for a moment.
After all, if they don't know how to advance or retreat, they will all stay here.
But once he retreats, Jiang Chang will never have a chance to make a comeback.
Obviously, Jiang Chang wanted to plead guilty, and he wanted to clear the name of a traitor for his dead brother!
Although this sneak attack was originally driven by Jiang Chang's selfish motives.
But as a son of an aristocratic family, it is extremely rare for Jiang Chang to sacrifice his family's future to restore the innocence of his soldiers!
If it were someone else, even if they knew they would die, they would probably end up in the dark. They would all die anyway, so why not give it a try?
At this moment, Wang Liangliang was full of admiration. He knelt down on one knee and said in a sonorous tone: "I have thanked the general on behalf of my brothers. No matter what the outcome is in the future, I will follow the general to the death. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will follow him together."
After saying this, Wang Liang stood up and gave the order for the soldiers to call for gold and withdraw their troops.
The navy soldiers who were originally preparing to launch a second wave of attacks were already frightened!
If the commander hadn't issued the order, they would have turned around and fled!
The fleet in front of you is not only an iron wall, but also a mad shark with fangs.
How can anyone fight against such a ship that is armed to the teeth?
I used to think that my navy’s five-tooth battleship was invincible, but now I realize that they are just looking at the sky from the bottom of a well!
If they hadn't seen the tragic situation in front of them, they would never have believed that there were such powerful ships in this world!
When they heard Ming Jin's clarion call to retreat, the navy soldiers almost jumped for joy.
If you can live, who would want to die?
It's just that everyone can't believe their ears.
When the signal to retreat was confirmed, they all turned around and fled away from Yang Fan's fleet.
Seeing the enemy ship retreating, the initially confused guards were in disbelief.
But everyone was in a daze as they looked at the rapidly retreating enemy ships, as well as the wreckage of ships and corpses of soldiers left all over the river.
Winning so easily?
The opponent is a famous five-tooth battleship, and the opponent's people are better at water warfare.
But they relied on the thunderous explosions, how the hell did they win?
The victory came so quickly and I was so happy!
It wasn't until the Wuya warship quickly escaped from the waters that everyone burst into earth-shattering cheers.
For a time, everyone present was talking about it.
"This water fight is too easy. It's nothing special at all. These guys are too inexperienced!"
"Yes, they say that we Guanzhong people are landlubbers, but people from Jiangnan are not much better!"
"Haha, you are not a landlubber, in front of our fleet, no matter who you are, you are your younger brother!"
After cheering for a while, everyone looked at the mess on the river and felt a surge of pride.
While everyone was celebrating their victory, Su Dingfang was very sober.
He knew that the difficulties he encountered this time were just the appetizer.
More importantly, Su Dingfang knew that there were more important things to do.
Since such a large fleet of theirs would be attacked by others, it was impossible for Yang Fan not to be targeted.
Su Dingfang was even a little worried whether Yang Fan would be able to withstand his rescue.
Thinking of this, Su Dingfang became very anxious and quickly ordered: "All guards will listen to the order and stay in place for half an hour. After half an hour, they will divide their troops and go to Yuntai Mountain to rescue the father-in-law!"
"promise!"
Everyone made a promise together, and then they remembered that their chief governor was still on Yuntai Mountain at this time.
Once you are targeted by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences will be disastrous.
Of course, what Su Dingfang didn't know was that it wasn't anyone else that Yang Fan was afraid of.
It was Lei Kunming, the commander of the Shanyue Sect. If this guy wasn't seriously injured, Yang Fan really wasn't sure he could repel that guy again!
When Yang Fan guessed how serious Lei Kunming's injury was.
In a makeshift tent at the foot of Yuntai Mountain, a slender girl with thin skin and tender flesh was using a knife to cut off the clothes on Lei Kunming's shoulders.
As soon as the girl took off Lei Kunming's clothes, a shocking wound was revealed on her shoulder.
If Lei Kunming hadn't had compact muscles and strong bones, he might have been cut in half by Yang Fan.
In the simple tent, the girl grabbed a handful of herbs, put it in her mouth, chewed it for a while, then spit it out, then mixed the dregs of the medicine with her saliva and applied it directly to the wound.
Lei Kunming endured the severe pain and frowned involuntarily. When the medicine was finished, Lei Kunming was so painful that he broke into a cold sweat.
Changsun Chong, who was on the side, saw the blood and flesh on Lei Kunming's shoulder and felt his stomach churning.
I couldn't help but make a comparison. If this knife had struck me, I might have gone to see the King of Hell long ago.
These Shanyue people are indeed uncivilized people. They are all rough-skinned and thick-flesh. It is really difficult for ordinary swords to hurt them.
For such barbarians, as long as something goes wrong here, we must stay far away from them.
Changsun Chong was afraid that he would become rude if he stayed with the Shanyue people for a long time.
If he had really contracted the Shanyue people's despicable habits and become as thick-skinned and fleshy as them, it would be better to die happily.
But when he thought of today's purpose, Changsun Chong's pretty face became more and more gloomy. He glared at Lei Kunming with dissatisfaction and said: "You Shanyue people are really a waste of money. Thousands of people can't kill Yang Fan, and you can't even take away the furnace for making iron."
, simply incompetent!”
Changsun Chong has been well-dressed and well-educated since he was a child, and he has always been perfect in almost all aspects. Now that he has suffered a failure, it is normal for him to speak harshly.
Unexpectedly, Lei Kunming didn't buy it at all. So many clan members died, and even he was almost killed by Yang Fan.
But this guy didn't even say a word of concern. Instead, he continued to make sarcastic remarks. This is intolerable!
