In this era, collision is always the only way to fight on the water.
However, Ling Tong realized that this was not a competition of the same level at all. His flagship was obviously strong, but the opponent's warship was far stronger than his flagship.
During the collision, his flagship was being pushed back by the battleship. If nothing was done, it would soon break in the middle.
In the wind and waves, Ling Tong was furious and kept shouting: "Abandon ship, abandon ship!"
The soldiers on the flagship jumped into the water one after another. The oarsman at the stern wanted to try harder. Ling Tong was so angry that he yelled: "Run! Why don't you run and wait to die!"
Only then did all the oarsmen jump out of the boat.
Before Ling Tong jumped off the ship, he glanced at the clippers sailing to both sides.
Like Xia Houyuan before, once the clippers rush to both sides of the giant ship, the clippers on the left will throw hooks to hook the giant ship, trying to tilt it.
But before the hook could be thrown, the plates on both sides of the giant ship suddenly moved.
"Racket stick?"
Ling Tong's eyes widened and were bloodshot.
When he was far away, he thought the things hanging on the sides of the giant ship were some kind of oars, but now he realized that they were actually used to take pictures of the ship.
With a "bang", a clipper ship was hit by the shooting pole, and the ship overturned directly, with the bottom of the ship facing up, and the soldiers scattered into the river.
"Bang bang bang!"
The racket poles on both sides of the giant ship kept rising and falling, and the huge force knocked over the clippers one after another.
The soldier who was running slowly was photographed. His body was flattened on the spot and he fell into the water. He saw that he would not survive.
"How can this be……"
At the age of fifteen, Ling Tong fought on the battlefield and retrieved his father's body from the rebel army.
He has experienced numerous water battles over the years.
But he had never seen such a tactic. The stick only needed to be moved up and down once, and several soldiers were killed and dozens of people fell into the water.
With so many racket sticks, what do the enemies use to make them rotate?
I can't think about this anymore. It's the twelfth lunar month of winter and the river is freezing cold. If I can't get back to the boat quickly, there is only one ending waiting for the soldiers in the water.
Ling Tong looked around and saw that except for the deputy general, there were no soldiers on his flagship.
He grabbed the horn and blew it with all his strength.
"Woo——"
The sound of the horn resounded across the river, and every soldier splashing in the water heard it.
That's the call to attack.
Ling Tong held a long sword in his hand, climbed onto the mast of his flagship, and then jumped from the flagship to the enemy's giant ship.
When he landed, he could clearly feel how big this battleship was.
When he was on it, he felt as if he were walking on flat ground.
When the soldiers in the water heard the horn, they all climbed onto the giant ship. This time, they jumped into the water and jumped into the ship.
But Ling Tong was not afraid. He just had never seen such an attack method, but he would never be afraid of it.
With the long knife in hand, Ling Yi stabbed a sailor to death. Then he rushed forward and saw a woman sitting on the battle tower of the giant ship.
Is there a woman in Cao Ying's army? Look at that position, it’s still the command position of the Chinese Army!
He didn't have any sympathy for her, so he took a few steps quickly and was about to go upstairs.
Suddenly, a big ax came out of the darkness, scaring him and making him retreat suddenly.
I saw a big man holding a pear blossom mountain ax and snorted: "Your grandfather Xu Gongming has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Ling Tong summoned all his strength, raised his sword and fought with Xu Huang.
In the distance, Cao Cao was sitting on the battle tower of another five-toothed ship. There were four guards on the battle tower, Xu Chu, and counselors Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu.
Seeing that the enemy's clipper formation was easily broken by the Wuya large ship, Cao Cao laughed loudly and said, "Yuanhe, what do you think of this ship?"
Jia Xu bowed his head respectfully and said: "The dragon in the river is hard to beat this ship!"
Cao Cao's eyes were burning, he held out three fingers and said: "A maid in Beifu helped Gu build three ships like this!"
Even though Jia Xu was well-informed, he was deeply moved when he heard such things.
He arrived at Cao Ying late, and he focused on self-protection in everything he did. A few days ago, he had never heard of Beifu General having such abilities. It was only today that he found out that Beifu Cao Wu was actually Qingtian who was hiding behind the scenes. column.
And when he observed Xun You and Cheng Yu, the two people who entered Cao's camp earlier, he found that they had been prepared for a long time, and he couldn't help but sigh.
After setting off from Jiangling, he repeatedly advised Cao Cao to slow down and train his navy because he was afraid that Zhou Yu's navy would be powerful.
Who would have thought that Cao Ying had such a powerful weapon as the Five-Toothed Ship, and that it could overwhelm a fleet with the power of one ship, which was simply beyond his imagination.
Jia Xu sighed: "General Beifu prepared for a rainy day, I admire him so much!"
Cao Cao twirled his beard and laughed heartily and said: "Gongda, if there is a ship like this, do you still need the whole army to attack it?"
Xun You said happily: "Of course there is no need. But unless the opponent is completely defeated, our army still needs to act with caution!"
Cao Cao nodded and ordered to go on. He won this time. All the troops pursued together, but they should not pursue too deep to prevent the enemy from counterattack.
After all, this time, both sides are just testing, and have not sent out their main force to fight.
On the other side, the bow of the flagship, where Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, and Pang Tong were present, was extremely quiet.
At first, the four smart people were communicating with each other. When the racket came out and the clippers were knocked down one after another, the four people fell silent and stopped talking.
This battleship completely surpassed their understanding of water warfare. This was something that the command skills and the bravery of the soldiers could not compete with.
It is a monster born for water battles. When the Jiangdong navy encounters it now, it will either cost countless lives to kill it, or it can only run away.
It's all over. The good tactics we discussed yesterday about luring the enemy out of exhaustion are all over.
The enemy does not need to make any arrangements at all. As long as they move the three warships forward, they will not be able to break through the opponent's defense at all. How can they eat up the opponent's strength bit by bit?
All four of them frowned, but it was Lu Meng who said first: "Commander... How about we return to Xiakou, and then rely on Xiakou city defense to fight the Cao thieves?"
Lu Xun said: "But if it is a city defense battle, the advantage of our naval force cannot be used at all..."
Lu Meng said dryly: "Do we still have the naval advantage?"
The four of them were silent again.
Zhou Yu ignored the dispute between the two, observed attentively, and continued to deduce in his mind, finally cheered up and gave the order again.
As the flag rolled, Huang Gai, Dong Xi, and Chen Wu each led a fleet and set off.
Their goal was not the Five-Tooth Battleship, but to rescue Ling Tong.
The main force of Zhou Yu's army, instead of retreating, advanced forward, following the three fleets, forming a backward arrow array, ready to receive the three fleets and evacuate directly at any time.
Pang Tong said: "Will Cao Jun let us withdraw?"
Zhou Yu said: "Yes. Our army will continue to maintain the same tactics as before and fight while retreating!"
This battle was to test each other, and he was sure that if Cao Cao was a wise commander, he would not press the main force during the test.
…
"when!"
After the clash of weapons, Ling Tong and Xu Huang separated, each breathing heavily.
Some Ling Tong's soldiers also climbed up on the deck, and Xu Huang's soldiers immediately went up to fight.
However, no one among the soldiers dared to join the battle group of these two generals.
Xu Huang shouted: "Ling Tong, this ship will be your burial place today!"
Ling Tong's eyes were sinister, and from the corner of his eye he saw that his soldiers were dead one by one.
They are all good hands in the river, and they are far more powerful than the enemy on the deck. However, the big ship does not rock at all. The soldiers in Cao's camp are walking on flat ground, and their elite soldiers and generals can be used to their best advantage.
Ling Tong knew that he had already lost this trial battle, even worse than Xia Houyuan.
More than twenty ships came out, but none of them were brought back.
"I have no face to go back to see my lord. Taking you Xu Huang away today is not in vain for my journey in this world!"
Ling Tong was furious and wanted to continue moving forward, but suddenly there was a crisp sound and a whistle arrow pierced the sky.
Ling Tong looked up at the sound, only to see veteran Huang Gai's ship approaching.
Ling Tong was overjoyed and quickly called out: "Everyone, retreat quickly! Someone is coming to pick you up!"
At the same time, Dong Xi and Chen Wu's ships also fired sentry arrows.
Ling Tong made a quick decision, turned around and jumped directly into the river.
There was a "plop" sound, and Ling Tongjun, who had finally boarded the bow of the ship, jumped off one after another.
However, only two or three out of ten people can go back alive.
Xu Huang looked around, knowing that if he didn't capture Ling Tong, he would lose his chance. He was about to jump into the river to stop him, but he heard a sharp cry behind him.
"General Xu, don't worry about them, we still have a way!"
It was Cao Asi who was upstairs talking.
Xu Huang put away his battle ax and waited for her next step.
Ah Si said something Xu Huang couldn't understand at all: "The enemy failed to scratch our armor."
Not long after, Huang Gai picked up Ling Tong, and the ships were no longer willing to fight and quickly retreated.
Huang Gai was checking Ling Tong's injury when suddenly there was a loud "boom".
A hole was smashed into the deck of his ship.
Huang Gai and Ling Tong turned around in fear and saw several trebuchets on the enemy warships aimed at them.
Ling Tong was dizzy and fell to the ground in anger.
This battleship actually has such a powerful weapon!
The weapons used to attack the city were actually installed on the battleship!
