"Let them know how powerful I am today!"
Zhou Yu sneered and said to Huang Gai,
"General, please go down and prepare to fight Cao's army!"
"Here!"
Huang Gai turned around and left quickly.
"Mr. Zijing, Mr. Kong Ming, would you like to go to the deck and see how I can defeat Cao's army?"
Zhou Yu smiled and said to Zhuge Liang and Lu Su.
Zhuge Liang and Lu Su looked at each other, nodded and said,
"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear."
The three of them took a few followers to the deck on the top of the building ship.
At this time, Huang Gai had already conveyed Zhou Yu's military orders to the allied navy through flag language.
The naval warships in Jingzhou and Jiangdong can be roughly divided into three categories.
The first type is light boats such as walking boats and stern boats.
They are extremely fast and are generally used to attack enemy positions or transport soldiers.
The second type is a battleship belonging to the main force. There is a parapet on the ship specially used for boarding battles.
The third type is a huge building ship, which is mostly used as a command ship.
The most famous among them is Sun Quan's vehicle Feiyun.
In contemporary water battles, small boats such as stern boats and gondolas were mostly used to attack the opponent's warships.
Then use a volley of bows and arrows to suppress the opponent, and at the same time use the ramming angle of the bow to ram the enemy ship.
In the end, the warships of both sides came together and started a fierce boarding battle.
Although water warfare is different from land warfare, it has the same purpose.
Warships should also form a formation like soldiers, so as not to be attacked from both sides during a boarding battle.
Therefore, after receiving Zhou Yu's military order, the coalition's fighting ships gathered around the building where he was located.
There are also countless boats and boats, shuttling back and forth between building ships and fighting ships.
Such a situation looks so spectacular!
Zhou Yu took everything in his eyes and couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Even if you, Yang Ling, have never experienced defeat, it is only in land battles.
When it comes to water battles, I, Kodong, am the strongest!
Not long after, after the coalition fleet rounded a bend, dozens of warships suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Yu and others.
Just as Huang Gai said, these warships lined up on the river, seeming to be waiting for the arrival of Zhou Yu and others.
What just confused Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and others was that something was wrong with Cao Jun's warship.
They did not assemble around the flagship of the general like the coalition fleet.
Instead, they were lined up across the river.
This posture is like telling Jiangdong Navy, come and hit me!
"There must be something weird in this, and Yang Ling is probably right across the street!"
Zhuge Liang said solemnly.
Although I don't understand why Cao Jun put on this posture, he has suffered many losses at the hands of Yang Ling.
Whenever I see something that goes against common sense, I instinctively think of Yang Ling!
"Even if Yang Ling is on the opposite side, so what? In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery are in vain!"
Zhou Yu said coldly.
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's navy only had a few dozen warships in total.
The coalition's fleet, both in terms of quality and quantity, was far superior to them.
While they were talking, the two sides were slowly approaching.
"Give me the order, let the ships and boats attack the enemy ships first!"
Zhou Yu ordered in a deep voice.
Huang Gai on the side immediately ordered his soldiers to pass the order to other warships by waving flags.
Soon, the densely packed ships and boats broke away from the fleet and sailed towards Cao Jun's warship on the opposite side at high speed!
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
I saw several fire dragons flying out from both sides of the bank, directly blocking the surface of the Han River!
The coalition's small boat was extremely fast, so it couldn't react at all and was directly set on fire by the fire dragon!
Seeing the warships turning into fireballs, Zhou Yu's pupils on the ship shrank suddenly.
"This...what is this?"
"This should be Cao Jun's fierce fire oil tank."
Zhuge Liang said solemnly.
After Zhang Fei was defeated miserably in the battle of Changban Bridge, Liu Bei spent a lot of effort to find out that this strange-looking and powerful weapon was called the Fierce Fire Oil Cabinet.
Previously, when Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other people from Jiangdong heard Liu Bei and the others talk about the fierce fire oil cabinet, they were a little unimpressed.
It can spit out fire oil and cannot be quenched by water.
This thing sounds like a rumor!
However, seeing it with their own eyes today made Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Huang Gai take a breath!
The river channel at the ambush location chosen by Yang Ling was extremely narrow.
The fire dragons sprayed out from both sides of the river by the fierce fire oil tank just blocked the entire river surface!
At this moment, Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
If I had known earlier, I would have followed Zhuge Liang's advice and sent people to search both sides of the Han River.
If it had been discovered in advance that Cao Jun had a heavy fire oil tank, there would be no need to board dozens of stern boats and sailing boats!
It's just regret in his heart, and Zhou Yu won't show it.
He thought for a moment and then said in a deep voice,
"Send people ashore to repel Cao's army!"
"Here!"
Huang Gai also ordered people to raise flags and convey Zhou Yu's orders.
After a while, the coalition soldiers moved from the building boats to both sides of the Han River through the walking boats.
Guan Yu and Jiangdong General Dong Xi each led an army and rushed towards the place where Cao Jun had deployed the fierce fire oil tank.
Seeing the coalition soldiers coming to kill, Cao Jun was not reluctant to fight.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, they quickly retreated towards the rear with their heavy fire oil tanks.
After receiving the news that Guan Yu and Dong Xi had completed their mission and seeing the fire dragon disappear on the river, Zhou Yu was also overjoyed.
"Publicly dismissed, let the fleet move closer and prepare to engage in battle with Cao's army!"
In order to prevent Cao's army from using any other weapons during the long night and long dreams, Zhou Yu planned to use a boarding battle and rely on his powerful navy to make a quick decision.
At this time, the wind was favorable, and the allied warships filled up their sails and quickly approached Cao's warship.
But they were halfway through, and before they could get closer, they heard a dull sound of "rumbling" coming from the river.
When Zhou Yu and others were still a little confused, thinking it was thunder during the day, countless shells trailing white smoke came at them!
Those tall and sturdy warships were as ridiculous as paper in front of these cannonballs.
"Bang bang bang..."
The fighting ship that rushed at the front was instantly beaten to the point where sawdust flew everywhere, and it was beaten to pieces.
Within a moment, it began to sink slowly.
The situation of the warships behind was not much better.
After all, the power of artillery is too great.
Whenever a cannonball falls on a ship, a huge hole will be blasted out!
Once hit by several cannonballs, even if the warship does not sink for a while, it will temporarily lose its combat effectiveness.
With just one salvo of artillery, more than a dozen battleships were destroyed!
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu and others felt as if their hearts were bleeding.
You know, these warships consume a lot of manpower and material resources and take a long time to build.
However, he was so vulnerable in front of Cao Jun's artillery!
"Cao Jun... what kind of weapon is this?"
Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang with red eyes.
