Chapter 796 Bloody Battle of the Navy (3)
The most powerful part of the warship is the bow. Zhang Yun installed an iron chisel on the bow. Standing and letting others hit others, can you not suffer any losses?
After learning from one's mistake, Gan Meng could not make the mistake he had just made again. Seeing Yuan Jun's fleet rushing towards him, he immediately turned the bow and met him.
The iron house made of shields was still on Yuan Jun's bow. Although this thing blocked the attack of the catapult and the crossbow, it also blocked the view. The soldiers on the ship could not see the front. If you want to move in a small range, you must obey the orders on the watchtower, which would result in less flexibility.
Seeing that each ship of Yuan’s warship was at least five meters away, a thought gradually emerged in his mind and ordered: “Download one-third of the sails, keep a close eye on them, and penetrate them along the gap between the two enemy ships.”
The time is coming to compete for strength, and tough battles are inevitable.
Two fleets came towards each other, and Yuan Jun's fleet was still exploding at full speed, trying to hit each other with a special bow.
Gan Meng didn't take this trick. He had seen the strength of the bow of Yuan Jun's warship. How could he be fooled? In addition, the speed of the ship slowed down, he had enough time to respond.
Cao's soldiers ran countless times on the sea, and their operations on the warship had already reached the point of being like arm-to-minded.
Gan Meng stood on the flagship watchtower and commanded himself. In the moment the two fleets were less than twenty meters away, they suddenly turned around when they were about to hit. The warship avoided Yuan Jun's bow and wiped against the hull.
The two warships collided on the side, and the hull shook violently at the same time, which made Gan Meng almost thrown out of the watchtower.
After the warships collided, they separated a little bit under the action of elastic force and continued to move in their respective directions. Gan Meng shouted in time without waiting for a steady step: "Hurry up, shoot the crossbow chain and rush up."
More than a dozen crossbows shot out with iron chains, piercing directly into the other party's cabin or hull, forcibly connecting the two warships together.
At the same time, several immoral Cao Bings took out the explosive bag, ignited the lead, and even used a scatterer. They swung their arms and threw them directly into the cabin opposite.
The navy either trains or carries supplies as hard laborers. With sufficient food, each arm is extremely powerful. The two warships are less than ten meters apart at this moment. Throwing explosive packs into the other's cabin is really not a difficult task for this group of naval soldiers.
This time, more than a dozen explosive packs were wasted, and they flew into the other party's cabin and exploded on the spot.
"Boom boom boom..." Accompanied by several loud noises, Yuan Jun's battleship sank suddenly, looking at Gan Meng's whole body was relaxed, and he howled excitedly: "Continue, throw ten more."
What kind of general led what kind of soldiers? After staying with Gan Ning for a long time, the navy soldiers were somewhat involved in some bandit habits. When they heard the explosion, they still used his orders?
I screamed and threw it over again. It was public funds anyway, so I didn’t feel sorry for throwing it away.
After the explosion, Gan Meng on the watchtower clearly saw that there were several large holes in the other party's cabin, and there were a few that were constantly waving upwards with the sea.
The cabin is leaking.
It’s not good to fry iron plates with explosives, but it’s still quite straightforward to fry wood.
Gan Meng stopped hesitating and ordered directly: "Don't worry about this ship, throw away the crossbow and rush towards the next one."
It is nearly twenty miles away from the coastline. If the cabin leaks in normal times, it can repair it yourself or wait for rescue. It will be different in wartime. The enemy will not give you time to repair ships and rescue.
The ship was seriously injured and could not dock without rescue and could only stay in the sea until it sank.
Gan Meng's second fleet had twenty-three warships. The captains were more shameless than Gan Meng. After passing through the gap between the enemy ships, the crossbow shot out in different directions, connecting all the enemy ships on both sides.
The warships on both sides of the enemy and us are connected to me, and I are connected to it, all of which are fixed together, and the scene is spectacular.
Gan Meng, who abandoned the iron chain and continued to charge, stood on the watchtower and glanced at the audience. Seeing that most of the Yuan army's warships were connected, and there were not even ten of them who could move freely, he felt so comfortable.
"The first contribution is ours. Brothers, don't seek merit but do nothing, and you will leave the Yuan army warship in place for me at all costs, and buy time for the first and third wings and rush."
Gan Ning, who was coming from behind with all his strength, was less than two miles away, and said excitedly: "This kid Gan Meng has not disappointed my usual teachings. He did a good job and speeded up."
Two miles are not a distance for a warship that spreads at full speed.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Gan Ning successfully arrived, ignored the warships that had been connected, and headed straight for the remaining few free ships.
Yuan Jun flagship, Zhang Yun stood on the watchtower and looked at the wise Shenwu Cao Mengde who was rushing towards him quickly, with a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.
There is really no solution to the magical artifact like dynamite.
Facing Gan Ning's fleet, he once again felt the powerlessness of ants when facing giants.
The warship is twice as good as that of yourself. How can you play with you while you are under the pressure of half of the loss?
There is no danger to guard at sea, and all the things learned in military books are invalid, so he can only fight head-on. What can he do?
Although he was desperate, but thinking about it, Yuan Shao treated him very well and even married his daughter, how could he do anything to be sorry to Yuan Shao?
The time for a scholar to die for his confidant, and to repay his kindness for his goodwill, Zhang Yun's pupils shrank, and his face showed unprecedented firmness. He grabbed the belt of Deputy Admiral Gao Ren, and pulled him in front of him and said, "Brother Gao, I'm afraid that I'm doomed today. I'll tell my lord that naval battles are not as good as land battles. The things in the military books are completely useless. If you want to defeat Cao's army and dominate the ocean, you have to work hard on warships and long-range weapons."
"Tell the lord that it is not you and me who can strengthen the navy, nor is it a peerless general, but a craftsman of the loser. Only they can build the strongest warships and the sharpest weapons."
"Our warship drawings were used to steal Cao Ang. The same number could barely compete with the Cao army. If there were more numbers, it would be impossible for them to be their opponents and they must be improved."
"There is also the kind of explosives that must be developed as soon as possible by the public losers. Otherwise, we will suffer endless losses in the future when we face Cao's army. Remember."
Gao Ren was a little panicked by Zhang Yun's last words and said anxiously: "Admiral, you should tell your lord these words yourself. Please forgive me for not being able to do it for you. Without warships, we still have a port and a 20,000 troops guarding the port. At most, we can just give the ocean to Gan Ning in a short time. Keep the green mountains there, and you won't be afraid of burning firewood."
Zhang Yun sighed and said, "If the enemy is in front of me, how can I be worthy of my lord's grace when I run away without fighting?"
"You are sorry for your lord and irresponsible when you die."
Gao Ren cursed: "You are the only naval general under your lord. If you die, let the lord go to find someone in charge of the navy. Our strength is not as good as others. How can you make a mistake because of a failure? In my subordinates, you are not a hero, but a coward. Even if you don't think about your lord, you won't think about your newborn child. He is only two years old."
