The big flag with the word "Ling" in it, flaunting its power, rushes towards the scene.
Sun Quan, who was on the giant ship, immediately saw the giant flag with the word "Ling" in it.
The general's flag was almost several times the size of an ordinary flag. It seemed that Yan Jun was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see it, so he deliberately made it so huge to demonstrate to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan suddenly became angry and cursed: "This traitor still has the nerve to go out to fight. Send the order and order the old general Gong Fu to attack immediately. We must destroy the traitor Ling Tong."
The flag was waved, and Huang Gai from the front army received the order and quickly ordered Pan Zhang to lead 10,000 naval troops to dispatch and attack Ling Tong's army that was rushing towards them.
The two fleets rushed towards each other, and when they were more than two hundred steps apart, they took the lead in launching their strong bows and crossbows.
Amidst the buzzing sound of "swish", countless arrows rose into the sky, intertwined into a dragnet in the sky, and roared towards the opponent's ship.
The screams, the sound of falling into the water, and the shouts all became loud in the blink of an eye.
The arrows could not stop the rushing warships. The two armies fired arrows at each other and soon collided with each other.
The fighting ship relied on its height and protective power, and the crossbowmen in it were arrayed around, firing arrows at the enemy ships endlessly.
The rushing ship relied on its speed advantage to intersperse among the chaos, approach the enemy's fighting ship at will, and engage in hand-to-hand combat aboard the ship.
Both sides' 20,000-strong naval force and three to four hundred fighting ships were entangled in the middle of the river and fell into a fierce melee.
Although the Wu people owned several large ships and had an advantage in battleship performance, Ling Tong was a Wu general and knew the Wu water warfare tactics well, which made up for the lack of battleship performance to a certain extent.
Moreover, Ling Tong, who was eager for revenge, was determined to die. He fought so hard without risking his life, inspiring his soldiers to fight desperately. He actually fought evenly with the Wu people.
Sun Quan, who was watching the battle from the rear, had an increasingly sinister and angry look on his face.
The melee on the river had lasted for half an hour, and there were countless corpses floating down the river. The number of dead and wounded soldiers in our own army was as much as that of Yan's army. This made Sun Quan very angry.
He originally expected Huang Gai to quickly defeat Ling Tong and take the traitor's head and sacrifice it to himself, but given the current situation, it would be difficult for his good wishes to be realized.
"Send the order and order Gong Fu to bring all the front troops into battle. I must cut off Ling Tong's head."
Unbearable anymore, the angry Sun Quan issued another military order.
At this time, Lu Xun, who was standing next to him, hurriedly advised: "My lord, Yan Liang's front army has not yet all entered the battle. At this time, let General Huang's entire army attack. Isn't it a little too early?"
Sun Quan snorted coldly and said proudly: "So what? I just want to draw all Yan Liang's warships out of the battle to prevent him from retreating in fear when the situation is not good later."
Sun Quan's intention was not unreasonable. If Yan Liang saw that the situation was not good and led his remaining troops to withdraw, then Sun Quan would still not be able to annihilate the main force of Yan Liang's navy in this decisive battle.
But if he could not achieve this goal, he would still be unable to successfully raise his troops to invade Jingzhou.
When Lu Xun saw this, he didn't know what to say.
The flag quickly conveyed Sun Quan's order. When Huang Gai saw this, he held no reservations and led more than 10,000 troops. He beat the drums and entered the battle group in one fell swoop.
Outside of the room, Yan Liang had a calm expression and was enjoying the melee in front of him with ease.
"Lord, Wu Jun has another warship entering the battle." Sharp-eyed Zhou Cang pointed forward and shouted.
It was exactly what I expected.
The corner of Yan Liang's mouth tilted up, and a hint of sneer flashed across his face.
He used Ling Tong and Lu Meng as the vanguard of the battle. In addition to the fact that the two were familiar with Wu people's fighting methods and were good at water warfare, they had other purposes.
That is, both of them are former generals of Sun Quan.
On the surface, Sun Quan seemed broad-minded, but in fact he was the most vindictive. Thinking about his betrayal of Ling Tong, he must have been deeply resentful. Even if he killed Ling Tong's family, he would not be able to forgive his hatred.
When Sun Quan saw Ling Tong's counterattack and came to challenge him personally, it was strange that the green eyes were not angry.
Before the battle, using Ling Tong to anger Sun Quan was exactly what Yan Liang wanted.
Seeing that Sun Quan had put down the second chess piece, Yan Liang sneered and said: "Bi Yan'er has lost his piece, we can't just sit back and watch. Send the order and order Lu Meng's army to attack too."
There were 20,000 troops in the front army, and Lü Meng now had 10,000 troops.
Lu Meng on the fighting ship soon saw the attack order issued by Yan Liang, and his frown could not help but deepen.
The 10,000-strong navy led by Ling Tong was equipped with many fighting ships, while the navy led by Lu Meng had very few fighting ships and could only rely on stern and rushing ships.
Even if such a fleet is put into battle, Lu Mengshi is not sure how much it can help change the situation of the battle.
What's more, if the two armies engage in battle and the battle goes unfavorably, it will be extremely difficult to retreat.
Lu Meng knew that if he failed to win today's battle, his life would be at stake here.
Although he was wary, Lu Meng did not hesitate at all. He immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Attack the whole army and fight to the bitter end for our lord -"
The flags were waving, and the solemn sound of war drums soared into the sky. Lü Meng led hundreds of warships, mainly for stern attack, and let go of their speed, roaring towards the battle group.
The two armies each deployed their entire forces, and the 40,000-strong naval force formed a fierce melee on the wide river.
If the previous battle between Ling Tong and Pan Zhang was still a draw, then in the current battle between the two front armies, Yan Jun's side soon began to be at a disadvantage.
The number of fighting ships of the Wu people was fully twice that of Yan Jun's, not to mention the larger ships, and the water combat effectiveness of the Wu people's soldiers had to be slightly stronger than that of Yan Jun. Under all circumstances, Yan Jun could not
It's strange to be at a disadvantage.
"Lord, our army may not be able to withstand it."
Zhou Cang began to look anxious, and his hidden meaning seemed to be hinting to Yan Liang whether it was time to send out Gan Ning's 10,000 rear troops.
"Don't be anxious, wait and see. Biyan'er won't move, and neither will I." Yan Liang was not anxious at all, and remained calm and calm.
While Yan Liang was calm and composed, Sun Quan was a little unable to sit still on the boat inside and outside.
Sun Quan was not anxious, but excited.
Just as he expected, Huang Gai joined the battle and quickly gained the upper hand. Even if the rebel general Lu Meng joined later, he still could not change the situation of the battle.
The scale of victory is tilting towards our own army little by little.
"Yan Liang, dog thief, do you think that with two traitors working hard for you, you can stop my invincible navy? Humph, you are really just dreaming. I, Sun Quan, am the only master of the Yangtze River."
In the excitement, Sun Quan's self-confidence reached its peak, and arrogance began to surge in his eyes.
After watching the battle for a long time, although the two rebel generals were at a disadvantage, they still fought tenaciously. Wu Jun still had to go through a lot of troubles to win.
Sun Quan couldn't wait any longer, and immediately ordered Xu Sheng to lead a rear army of 10,000 naval troops to join the battle immediately, hoping to defeat the enemy in the shortest possible time.
At this time, Sun Quan had decided to devote all his troops to the battle.
When Lu Xun saw this, he was about to persuade him, but he hesitated.
He felt that his worries were unnecessary. His family's advantages were obvious. Even if Yan Liang subsequently sent more than 10,000 troops into battle, he would probably be like Lu Meng and still be unable to change the unfavorable situation.
Sun Quan threw his rear army into battle to force Yan Liang to invest all his property. This intention seemed to be very beneficial.
However, for some reason, there was always a vague feeling of uneasiness in Lu Xun's heart, but he could not explain why he was uneasy.
Just as Lu Xun was thinking, Sun Quan's order had been issued.
The 10,000 rear troops and naval forces commanded by Xu Sheng rushed out fiercely, leaving only Sun Quan and more than 20 warships remaining in the rear to continue watching the battle.
Thirty thousand Wu troops and countless warships formed a siege against the 20,000 disadvantaged Yan troops.
The pro-army soldiers held up their large shields to resist the arrows raining down from all directions. Ling Tong could only command the battle with difficulty in this unfavorable situation.
Lu Meng's situation was not much better. The outer walls of his flagship were covered with arrows, and from a distance, it looked like a hedgehog.
Due to too many arrows on the left wing, the hull of the ship began to tilt, and Lu Meng had to grab the ship's stack before he could barely stand still.
Screams came one after another, and a soldier fell beside him. The body that fell into the water dyed the entire river surface with a layer of blood red.
Under the cover of powerful arrows, the Wu people's rushing team easily approached Yan Jun's battleship. The brave Zhou Tai led his dead soldiers to kill Yan Jun on the ship and wantonly harvested Yan Jun's heads.
The squadron led by Zhou Tai has captured no less than seven Yanjun battleships. Seeing the battleships changing their flags one after another, the Yanjun officers and soldiers are undergoing unprecedented severe physical and mental tests.
This battle on the river seems to end with Yan Jun's disastrous defeat.
Yan Liang, who was watching the battle from the rear, still had a calm expression on his face. His calmness was in sharp contrast to the anxious mood of the soldiers on his left and right.
After watching the battle for a long time, Yan Liang could tell that the deadly battle between Lu Meng and Ling Tong had reached a critical point.
The time has come.
Yan Liang took a deep breath and said sternly: "Quickly pass the order to Xingba, and the fleet of vehicles and ships will attack immediately to beat this general to death——"
Gan Ning, who had been watching the battle for a long time, had been ready to make a move for a long time. When he saw the signal to attack, Gan Ning's murderous intent instantly burned to the extreme.
"The entire army attacks and kills all Wu Dog——"
Amidst the loud shouts, the pedal hands in the cars and boats began to pedal the wheels with all their strength, and the blades began to stir rapidly. Nearly a hundred cars and boats, relying on the momentum of the current and the advancement of the hidden wheels, rushed out, heading towards
They ran away from the melee.
Yan Liang's carefully crafted vehicle and boat weapons were finally put into actual combat.
Huang Gai, who was in the melee, still had one hand left. When he saw Yan Liang's rear army coming out, he calmly ordered Chen Wu to lead a part of the warships to stop Yan Liang's rear army fleet.
However, when the enemy ships galloped in, and when Huang Gai saw clearly the enemy's strange-shaped warships, which did not even have sails or oars, but were speeding like flying, his originally calm face suddenly changed.
