Chen Wu and Ding Feng stood on the top of the building, looking down at the Chu army's building, with a hint of pride in their eyes. Jingguo has a vast territory, a prosperous economy, and a huge amount of money spent on the army, which cannot be compared to Jingchu. As for the navy, Zhang Xiu allocated sufficient funds to them, and focused on the construction of warships to prepare for this battle.
The economic strength of Chu State was far inferior to that of Jing State. The navy took over all Liu Biao's legacy, and after Liu Bei became emperor, he vigorously recruited troops and horses, and there was no extra economic improvement.
Chen Wu slowly raised his hand: "The crossbowman is ready! Fire the arrow!"
The building ship tested the Chu army's ship. After receiving the order, the Kecheng heavy crossbows on the three floors shot giant arrows at the same time.
Countless arrows were shot at the Chu army.
Facing the powerful and terrifying giant arrows, the Chu army's shields were almost powerless to withstand them. They were all shot through, and even penetrated the cabin of the building ship. Suddenly, the Chu army screamed in agony.
Guan Yu looked coldly and ordered the army to fight back.
The heavy crossbows of the Chu army have also been modified. Although they cannot achieve the effect of continuous shooting of the heavy crossbows to defeat the city, the destructive power is still very considerable. Moreover, they have a large number of people, and they can fire arrows and crossbows in unison, which is quite effective in defeating the city. The momentum of the crossbow.
"Lean closer!"
Comparing the skills of arrows and crossbows, they were no match for the warships of the State of Ying. Guan Yu decisively ordered the army to move closer. Only close combat could weaken the gap between the two sides.
Chen Wu and Ding Feng knew that if they stayed close to each other, they would not be Guan Yu's opponent. Moreover, a steady stream of Wei troops came from behind to help them, but they also had their own tricks. Seeing that the Chu army was about to pass, Chen Wu ordered: "Get closer and let them Try the power of our advanced equipment!"
The ships on both sides quickly approached, and were about thirty steps away.
Suddenly, a thick wooden pole more than three feet high was erected on Jingjun's ship. There was something like a later roller on the pole, and ropes were hung from both ends. It seemed to be some powerful weapon.
When Guan Yu saw the pole on the Jingjun Tower ship, he was stunned for a moment. At the same time, he immediately became vigilant and ordered the entire army to change their attack to defense. Everyone knows that Jingguo's various advanced weapons are emerging one after another, and each one is astonishingly powerful. Seeing the changes on Jingguo's ship, they guessed that this must be some kind of offensive weapon.
In fact, this thing was not invented and developed by Zhang Xiu, but by the ancients of later generations, and it is called: Pai Gun.
During the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian used this pole to build a "five-pressure battleship" to destroy the Chen Kingdom.
Under Chu Jun's curious eyes, the rope of the shooting pole slowly tightened, and then a huge stone was lifted up and hung at the top of the shooting pole. Seeing this thing, Guan Yu instantly realized what it was. It was like a trebuchet in land warfare. The hull was entirely made of wood. How could it withstand a blow from this huge boulder?
Guan Yu immediately shouted and ordered the warships to retreat.
It's a pity that the boats on the river are not like the soldiers on land. They can retreat if they want to. In addition, the Chu army was approaching very fast just now. There is no chance to retreat now.
When the distance between the two warships was less than ten steps, Ding Feng glared and shouted: "Let go!"
Suddenly, the weight of the boulder drove the clap pole to hit Chu Jun's building ship. The huge force was unstoppable, and a clear roar sounded. In response, Chu Army's building ship was smashed into a huge hole, and the wood was smashed to pieces. , many Chu soldiers were beaten to death, and their blood stained the river surface red.
After one blow, the pole was immediately pulled up.
As the ships on both sides approached again, they slapped it down violently, smashing one of the Chu army's ships into pieces.
Countless arrows were shot down from the Jing army's ships, and the Chu army suffered heavy casualties.
Guan Yu said with a cold face, "Prepare rockets!"
Warships are made of wood. In water battles, arrows are usually dipped in lard and then ignited. If they are fired at the opposite ship, they can ignite the opposite warship. However, when the two sides are so close, few people will choose rockets. The distance between the two sides was too close. If a fire broke out, it would be easy to set their warships on fire. The cost of building warships was so high that no one was willing to kill a thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses.
But now the Jingjun's advanced equipment is emerging one after another. Otherwise, all his warships will be destroyed.
The Chu soldiers lit their arrows dipped in lard, and following Guan Yu's order, they fired at the Jing army's warship.
Chen Wu and Ding Feng were anxious.
The warship is their treasure! If you were burned by the Chu army's fire, wouldn't you be heartbroken to death?
They hurriedly ordered the soldiers to break the fire protection tank and wet the entire hull. However, there were too many rockets and their ship was too big, causing the warship to burn quickly.
Guan Yu took the opportunity to drive the warships to quickly approach, and ordered the army to enter the building.
Seeing the Chu army coming to fight on the ship, Chen Wu shouted decisively: "The whole army listens to the order, abandon the warship to put out the fire, and follow me to kill the enemy!"
Suddenly, a battle broke out between the two sides on the huge warship. The fire on the warship gradually gained momentum. Below, the enemy's and our stern warships collided around the building ship. Countless soldiers fell into the water one after another. The battle was from the ship to the water, and the river surface was dyed red with blood. .
At this time, the Chu army from behind came to attack.
Wenpin led hundreds of ships and a large ship to attack and assisted Guan Yu in the battle from the side.
Chen Wu immediately ordered a large-scale warship to fight against Wenpin, and at the same time ordered more than 200 ships to surround Guan Yu's navy from the left and right wings. It was bound to annihilate Guan Yu's vanguard before Wenpin arrived.
Guan Yu's vanguard had only fifty or sixty warships, and their numbers simply could not withstand Jing's army.
At the same time, he ordered the scorpion-tailed ship to kill Wenpin's building warship.
The scorpion-tail ship is shaped like a scorpion tail. The stern of the ship is raised high, and there are steps inside. After approaching the building ship, you can smoothly board the enemy's tall building ship warship. This is also one of the secret weapons of the Jing army.
Guan Yu still had a cold face and ordered thirty ships to stop the outflanking of the two wings. At the same time, he personally led his bodyguards to kill Chen Wu and Ding Feng. He wanted to capture the thieves first and capture the king first. Since his own side was weak, he could only risk capturing the enemy. Will.
The fire on the building and boat was getting bigger and bigger, and thick smoke was billowing.
Chen Wu said to Ding Feng: "You take the stern and retreat first to guard the river bank. I will cut off the rear from the river."
Both of them were on the boat, and there was no general in charge on the river bank. Ding Feng nodded and stared at Chen Wudao: "Guan Yu is really the enemy of ten thousand people! He has superb martial arts skills, so be careful!"
Chen Wu nodded.
After Ding Feng got off the boat, Chen Wu immediately ordered the soldiers on the boat to light a fire.
Sergeant Jing on the ship was stunned for a moment when he heard this order. Didn't Chen Wu love battleships as much as his life? How could he personally order the battleship to be burned? What's more, the battleship is already on fire everywhere.
Of course Chen Wu loves battleships, but the battle has continued until now. The Chu army led by Guan Yu came to kill, and the battleship had to be abandoned, allowing the raging fire to repel Guan Yu's attack and ignite their battleships at the same time.
The nobles set fire to each other.
Suddenly, the entire warship was set on fire, the huge mast was burned off, and it crashed down towards the Chu army's warship, smashing the ship into pieces.
