Cao Chun's flagship craft is the largest in his fleet, and the Liang army's semi-submersible craft is not much larger than the loach ship. Moreover, because it needs to dive, its hull cannot be damaged at all, and its resistance to strike is much smaller than that of ordinary ships. Therefore, unless the Liang soldiers on the semi-submersible craft have the idea of ​​dying together, it is impossible to intercept it with the hull.

However, two or three portable crossbows were placed on the decks of many semi-submersible ships. A stone bomb and a fire bomb shot towards Cao Chun's warship from different angles. Although a small number of crossbows projectiles hit the crossbows, the wood chips splashed and the flames rose, they could not sink it in a short time.

After a moment, Cao Chun's flagship rushed into the Luodong River. The nervous Cao Chun was about to breathe a sigh of relief, and he felt the hull shock, his body lost balance, and fell on the deck. The soldiers on the other decks were similar to him, and they fell into a skew, and the ship suddenly stopped.

Cao Chun shouted loudly, "What's going on!" After a while, a voice responded, "Maybe it was hit by a rock!"

"Crashing the reef? Impossible, reefs cannot be found in places where rivers enter the sea!"

"Report! There is an iron chain at the bottom of the water, but it is a person who set up an iron chain to block the river!"

Cao Chun was shocked when he heard this. His retreat was broken. He hurriedly shouted: "Send someone to cut off the iron chain!"

As soon as Cao Chun finished speaking, a crisp sound came from his ear. A soldier in front of him suddenly disappeared, and then the headless body fell on the deck. Then there was a crisp sound of the broken wood. A huge stone bullet rolled drippingly on the deck.

It turned out that Liang Jun set up several crossbows on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. These were conventional crossbows that could fire large stone bombs and were assembled on site using crossbow accessories carried by semi-submersible ships. There were also many infantrymen around these crossbows, some of which were longbowmen.

The stone bombs hit one after another, and soon they made Cao Chun's flagship trampled on. Some Cao's troops were riddled with small boats and tried to land on the shore, but were pierced by heavy arrows that were constantly attacking by Liang's long archers. The ships that were not controlled by living people floated to the ocean along the water flow.

The flagship gradually sank, and the deck also burned with multiple incendiary bombs. The soldiers jumped into the water to escape, and those who could not water tried to climb a small sampan. Cao Chun cut the saber with his saber, slashed three or four soldiers who were scrambling to the sampan and shouted: "Drive the ship." The oars rowed hard and left the sinking flagship. There were many Cao soldiers who could not water on the deck who tried to pull the sampan and prevent them from leaving, but Cao Chun cut all the water off one by one.

But the sampan arrived at the shore in a moment. Cao Chun and several personal soldiers jumped off the boat and were about to escape. However, more than ten Liang soldiers surrounded them, and more than a dozen javelins were thrown up. Cao Chun danced like a flower in his hand, and then he blocked the javelins. However, his personal soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

These Liang soldiers followed closely and raised their guns to slash Cao Chun. After all, Cao Chun was a powerful general. He blocked the steel knife in his hand and slashed the left and right. In an instant, he cut down a Liang soldier and snatched the big shield in the other party's hand. The sword and shield danced together, which made Liang soldiers retreat one after another, and could not get close to him for a while. At this time, Cao Chun suddenly felt his head tremble, and then his eyes turned black and he fell into infinite nothingness. Cao Chun's body, which had an arrow on his head, fell to the sky and fell to the ground.

At the same time, a large number of Cao Chun's warships poured into the Luodong River one after another. Some of them were sunk by semi-submersible ships before they even entered the river mouth. Although some rushed into the river mouth, the Luodong River was blocked by the iron cables blocking the river, so they were crowded there. After being bombarded by the two sides of the straits and the semi-submersible ships following behind, they either gradually sink or burned into a sea of ​​fire. Both Cao's soldiers and Gaya soldiers on the ship rushed into the water.

Some Cao Chunjun warships in the rear saw that the situation was not good, so they tried to turn around and escape, but the Liang army fleet that was chasing was surrounded from three directions left, middle and right. On the Liang army's triangular double-brig sailing warship, the crossbows, javelins, bows and crossbows were fully opened. Stone bullets, fireballs, heavy arrows, and spears were flying all over the sky. Their sailing warships rushed across the sea and smashed enemy warships.

About an hour later, the sea at the mouth of the Luodong River was full of sinking wreckage and burning ships. Most of them were ships of Cao Chun's fleet, and Liang's army only lost a small number of warships.

On the deck of Liang Jun's flagship, a general reported the results of the battle to Wei Wen: "Report to General, most of the enemy warships were sunk, and one of the people dressed in an enemy chief was shot and killed by our army's bow. A few fish that escaped the net were escaping towards the distant seas in the east and west. Please instruct the general to continue chasing?"

Wei Wen pondered for a few breaths and said, "Don't chase the enemy, you don't have to waste our time on a few enemy ships. You can quickly bring the enemy's corpse and prisoners, and you will need to interrogate yourself."

After a while, Cao Chun's body and several prisoners were brought up. These prisoners were all intermediate generals, including those under Cao Chun and those from the Kingdom of Gaya. Zhang He and Wei Wen had some understanding of Gaya's recent situation through the mouth of the prisoners when they were visiting the island of Horse. Then they interrogated the prisoners and learned more details.

When Zhang He saw the corpse, he recognized it as Cao Chun and hurriedly said to Wei Wen: "Since Cao Chun is dead, King Jin Lushan of Gaya is also an incompetent mediocre king. If we can attack Guning City with lightning speed, we will definitely be able to defeat it in one battle. It is better to lead our headquarters to take a Viking ship to directly take Guning."

Wei Wen nodded and immediately asked someone to open the passage of Luodong River. Then Zhang He took his Wei army troops and horses from his headquarters to board nearly a hundred Viking warships, sailing through the waves and going up the Luodong River.

When their fleet passed through a dense forest in the river, it was late at night. Although the four gates of Guning City were closed and there were soldiers cruising and patrolling the city, there were not many defenders and they seemed not alert. None of them noticed that the river channel outside the hundred wars was full of Viking ships.

A large number of Cao Chong's soldiers climbed the river bank quietly under the leadership of Zhang He. In addition to infantry, there were also a hundred cavalry, tigers and leopard cavalry. Nearly a hundred elite scouts used the hook claws lent to them by the Liang army to climb up the walls smoothly. When the defenders were surprised, they cut their necks with sharp daggers. When the Gaya soldiers at the top of the city exclaimed, more than a dozen scouts had already climbed to the top of the city. Before they could shout a second time, they instantly killed each other.
