The Koryo Peninsula is not far from the Japanese island. The Wei army's warships sailed at full strength and reached the offshore area of the Japanese island in only half a day.
At this moment, Gan Ning, who was holding the telescope, suddenly said "Hey".
"What did you find?"
Yang Ling asked.
"There is a small boat ahead, which seems a little weird!"
Gan Ning said, handing over the telescope.
Yang Ling raised the telescope and took a look. As Gan Ning said, there was a small boat floating on the sea ahead.
It is different from ordinary boats that go out to sea for fishing. There is another small boat tied behind it.
When the Wei army discovered them, the people on the boat also discovered the mighty Wei army navy.
They quickly untied the ropes tied to the small boat behind them, and then quickly rowed towards the land behind!
"Do you want to notify the large forces in the rear? I'm afraid it's too late."
Gan Ning snorted coldly.
Although the sailing speed of the small boat was faster than that of the large ships of the Wei Navy.
But by the time the people on the boat returned to land, the Wei navy had almost reached the offshore area, and Sun Quan's men probably had no time to react.
"Something's wrong, look!"
Yang Ling pointed to the sea and reminded everyone.
Everyone took a closer look and saw that the abandoned boat suddenly burst into flames and a puff of black smoke rose up.
On the endless sea, this wolf smoke is quite eye-catching!
"I see!"
Yang Ling suddenly realized this and praised,
"I didn't expect that Jiangdong's army would be full of talents!"
"what is happening?"
Gan Ning was still a little confused and didn't understand what happened.
"The small boat just now is actually equivalent to a sentinel."
Yang Ling explained with a smile,
"Once they discovered an invading enemy, they would light the boat with firewood at the back and quickly retreat to the rear."
"In this way, people on land can also receive news in time!"
"I see, this Sun Quan is really cunning!"
Gan Ning also understood, nodded and said,
"If you say that, I'm afraid a war will start soon!"
"Yes, let the soldiers prepare quickly."
Yang Ling ordered.
"Here!"
Gan Ning cupped his fists and accepted the order, nodding to the ordering soldier on the side.
After receiving the order, the messenger waved the flag in his hand to notify the surrounding warships and let them launch a battle formation.
At the same time, Wu Jun on land also received news that an enemy was invading!
"Come aboard and prepare to fight!"
As the general of Wu State, Ling Tong quickly put on his armor and led a group of soldiers to board the warship.
Although he had expected it, Ling Tong was still nervous.
After all, the opposite side is Cao Wei's army led by Yang Ling!
When the Wu army's warship left the port and came to the sea, when they saw the Wei army's navy, they couldn't help but take a breath!
When Sun Quan left the Central Plains, there were more than thirty warships.
He has been operating in Japan for so many years and has built many ships one after another.
But most of them are just small boats like stern boats.
And due to the shortage of technicians, materials, and tools, the quality and performance of these newly added warships are far from Jiangdong's original warships!
On the other hand, look at the Wei army.
After capturing Jiangdong, the Wei Dynasty took control of Jiangdong's original shipbuilding technology.
Coupled with Yang Ling's strong encouragement of maritime transportation, the shipbuilding technology of the Wei Dynasty advanced by leaps and bounds!
Not only did he defeat Wu Jun in terms of quantity, but he also far surpassed him in terms of quality!
Today, the warships of the Wei Dynasty navy are divided into four classes: dragon, lion, tiger and leopard.
Among them, the dragon-class warship is the largest, and even Sun Quan's most famous ship, the Feiyun, is one size smaller in comparison.
However, dragon-class warships are generally used as the flagship of the commander-in-chief.
The real main warship is the liger and tiger warship.
The lion-class warship is equipped with a large number of artillery and the plus version of the Lingyue Repeating Crossbow, which is responsible for long-range strikes.
The Tiger-class warship sails extremely fast. The bow has an iron ramming horn, and the hull is covered with iron sheets.
It is responsible for attacking enemy formations and launching boarding battles!
The last type of leopard-class warship is smaller, not much larger than a stern.
It is a troop transport ship and plays the role of transporting soldiers to the shore for landing on the beach.
Ling Tong never expected that in just a few years, Cao Wei would not only catch up with Wu Jun in shipbuilding, but also surpass him by a huge margin!
He couldn't help but feel numb, and subconsciously wanted to retreat!
But the Wei army has already reached the sea. Even if they retreat, where can they retreat to?
Ling Tong took a deep breath, calmed down, and ordered,
"Prepare for a boarding battle!"
In his opinion, the performance of Wu's warships may not be as good as Cao Wei's.
But the quality of the soldiers is definitely higher than that of Cao Wei.
After all, Jiangdong was famous for its navy back then, and Yang Ling rarely took advantage in water battles!
Looking at Ling Tong's fleet on the opposite side, unfurling its sails and heading towards his own side with all its strength, Yang Ling couldn't help but smile.
"Ling Tong, times have changed!"
As the commander-in-chief of the navy, Gan Ning commanded the messengers in an orderly manner, allowing them to pass orders to other warships through flags.
Under his command, all the lion-class warships were at the front and then lined up.
Dozens of artillery pieces are arranged on the side of each warship.
The muzzles of the black holes were all aimed at Wu Jun's warships!
"Bang bang bang..."
Countless artillery pieces roared, and for a while, only smoke filled the river.
The fired shells, swaying with white smoke, flew towards the Wu army warship!
Although many cannonballs fell into the sea and picked up waves several feet high.
But as long as the Wu army's warship was hit, wood chips would fly everywhere, killing and injuring countless soldiers.
In severe cases, a big hole appeared in the hull, and seawater poured in crazily!
After just one salvo, three Wu army warships began to sink, and a dozen more were seriously injured!
Seeing this situation, Ling Tong almost cried out in distress!
But he could only grit his teeth and order the fleet to speed up. Only by approaching the Wei navy earlier could this be avoided!
finally.
After the Wei army's artillery fired three volleys and paid a heavy price for more than a dozen warships, the Wu army's warship finally moved closer.
However, at this moment, Wei Jun's tiger-class warship rushed out!
Compared with Wu Jun's fighting ships, the Tiger-class warships are twice as large and faster!
When the warships of both sides collided, Sergeant Wu was horrified to find that their warships could not damage the armored Tiger-class warships at all!
On the other hand, when the Tiger-class warship collided with the Wu Jun warship, the Wu Jun warship was always easily knocked to pieces!
What's even more terrible is that when the warships of both sides were in a stalemate, because the Tiger-class warship was too tall, Sergeant Wu could not jump on it.
But Wei Jun's marines followed the rope and came to Wu Jun's warship!
