The 207th chapter shocked the world a war (1)
"That thing!" Jiang Qin also had a little impression. Didn't that bed crossbow that almost killed their master and servant under Wancheng? Jiang Qin's war horse was shot to pieces by an arrow. The feeling of minced meat flying everywhere Jiang Qin didn't want to do it again!
Now there are no less than five towers on each tower ship. There are more than 100 enemy warships on these twenty enemy ships, Jiang Qin and Lu Su are both numb, but Jiang Qin still insists on "Isn't it just more than 100 bed crossbows! He can only shoot more than 100 giant arrows. If these arrows support them to death, they will kill hundreds of soldiers. Others can do this!" Jiang Qin decided to calm down. He is the commander of Sun Ce's army now, so he can't panic! Besides, the accuracy of these bed crossbows is not very good. It's still a big question whether they can shoot on this river when they diffuse.
But Lu Su on the side did not have the kind mentality of Jiang Qin. This crossbow could only shoot people! Lu Su remembered that a giant arrow shot the well railing directly and collapsed. Although it was shot to the load-bearing place, if it was not full of power, how could it be shot down the tall well railing!
"It's time for you to try my anger!" Gan Ning took the order flag from the deputy general next to him. The orders of the bed crossbow were all under this small order flag. Gan Ning had no orders, and no one was qualified to pull out the black cloth and shoot the bed crossbow on the bed.
"Shoot!" With Gan Ning's order, the scene that Lu Su didn't want to see the least happened. In an instant, countless huge crossbows broke the bowstrings and shot huge giant arrows ready to go. Those cut down from the wood of the hug were filled with copper juice and iron, and put them on the prepared arrows in front. These were not the prototype machine in Liu Mang's hand on Wancheng, but were truly fixed and could be used in water battles!
"Swoosh swish swish!" More than twenty tower ships lined up one after another, and five bed crossbows on one tower ship shot huge arrows.
"Boom boom boom boom!" Sun Ce's navy was in trouble. More than a hundred giant arrows were not heading towards the soldiers, but aimed directly at the tower ships. Sun Ce's formation was relatively dense, although it could bring huge psychological pressure to the enemy. But don't forget that the consequence of the dense formation was that the giant arrows did not need to be accurate at all. As long as they were shot out, they would definitely hit the tower ships. The ship was not a war horse or an infantryman could avoid it. It was really not easy for a formation composed of a water fleet to change the formation. Not to mention that the ship was easy to slip, just say that the water flow on the Yangtze River would make you not have that kind of sensitivity.
More than a hundred giant arrows plunged into the tower ships of the Sun Ce army in the first row.
"What!" Jiang Qin and Lu Su really widened their eyes. The power of these giant arrows was really great. The several layers of wooden blocks on the building ship could not stop the penetration of these giant arrows, and some giant arrows even shot through the areas covered with a layer of iron.
The outer building ship was in trouble and was shot into the superstructure. Even if it was shot through by a giant arrow, it would only hurt a few soldiers. Those who shot on the hull were not so good! The giant arrows directly penetrated into the belly of the ship. At this time, the ships were not just relying on the sails to exert force. After all, the wind direction was related to God. If the wind direction was not good, would they have to stop on the water and wait for the wind! So the boats were slippery from outside, and these were all manpower, so there was a cabin in which there were some people in the cabin.
The soldiers rowed the boat. The arrow not only penetrated the building boat, but also shot the rowing soldiers. Some arrows were so powerful that they entered the building boat and drilled out from the other end. As soon as the hull was shot through, the fun became huge. A large amount of river water poured back into the cabin. There was no closed cabin or something. Once the ship was opened, it was fortunate that it could be repaired in normal times. But now it was in war or in the middle of the river that there was no other way except to watch the ship sink little by little.
The tower ship was fine, but the unlucky thing was that the small ships could kill a ship with a giant arrow, and they had no room for defense and were directly shot into the river. Fortunately, the naval soldiers were all people who knew the water and could swim back after falling into the water.
"Let them choose to abandon the ship!" Jiang Qin issued a decisive order, and asked the surrounding ships to pick up the sinking ships and the sinking ships that were shot through. Now that the ships do not abandon the ships, the suction force may form when the ships sink to the bottom of the river to suck these naval soldiers.
"Yes!" Jiang Qin's flagship was posed, and the tower ships behind them came forward to rescue people, and there were more than a dozen hanging beside a small ship!
"What a pity!" Gan Ning's deputy general on the side is no longer as panic and uneasy as before. The other tower ships are also average. The water war in the Eastern Han Dynasty basically has the style of the style of the ship driving onto the river, and when they are hundreds of steps, they can shoot arrows randomly. The number of shots is counted as much as they are. After the difficulty, everyone plays a bumper boat. Then they board each other's ships, kill people and set fire. Whoever has more people will win.
But now it has not reached a hundred steps, the arrows have not been shot, and there has not been a fight between the two of us. This scene appeared before us. Under the volley of crossbows on the Ganning Navy Tower Boat, the five or six Sun Cejun ships at the top suddenly became hedgehogs. Five of them had already fallen into the water, and the rest were also floating, with wood chips everywhere in the river, and the ship had to be abandoned. If Jiang Qin had directly lined up the warships in a row just now, he might have lost more than six tower ships!
"Nothing a pity!" Gan Ning was also a little surprised at the power of the crossbow. He killed six enemy ships in one encounter, and dozens of snails. If this kind of fighting was before, Gan Ning would have sneered at it. The enemy would kill six other people's ships without even touching your hair. Is this dreaming! There are nearly two thousand navy troops above the six ships! In just a moment of hard work, you really think that the enemy is made of paper? And the tall and mighty crossbows on this ship tell Gan Ning that this is not a dream.
This is the first round of shooting. Gan Ning's naval army is mainly Jiangxia naval army and new recruits. When encountering these old opponents or people who always bully him, it is inevitable that he will not panic. Seven thousand to 30,000, Gan Ning himself has no idea. Not to mention those ordinary soldiers, this volley can only be regarded as a test shot. The arrows are shot out randomly and have not been calibrated at all. They can only release the bowstrings of the crossbow in a sense and a sense of fear, and let these giant arrows fly out.
But the result was not so bad that one encounter and killed two thousand navy troops from the enemy. What if it was the second and third rounds?
Gan Ning really has a clear mind now, and he is no longer the gambler mentality he used to be.
"Retreat!" Gan Ning gave the order, and the deputy general nodded. The flag verb was sent out again, and twenty-three tower ships directly started the manpower and swam in the direction they came.
"Retreat?!" Jiang Qin had already done Gan Ning's shooting, but after a difficult battle, he rushed to Gan Ning's flagship, but now Gan Ning retreated.
"General Jiang Qin, you must not let them go! Quickly stick it on it, stick it on it!" Lu Su suddenly said to Jiang Qin seriously. Lu Su did not know how to fight the navy, but he knew that the crossbow would take time to load it. Although the crossbow is powerful, don't forget that the crossbow is very heavy. If a warship can hold 300 to 400 people, then the warship with five crossbows can only hold less than 200 soldiers. In addition, the rowing hands in the cabin, there are only a little more than 100 soldiers, and there are more than 300 people on Sun Cejun's tower ship. As long as you put it on and play a platoon battle with the opposite side, Gan Ning will be really dead!
The advantage of the number of people will quickly form a crushing force, and twenty-three tower ships will only have a dead end under the attack of nearly a hundred tower ships.
"The whole army must catch up with Gan Ning!" Jiang Qin also understood this truth. It is very troublesome to load a bed crossbow. Just like the one on Wancheng, it takes more than a dozen or twenty people to put a giant arrow on the bed crossbow and pull the bowstring. With this skill, he had already started fighting. Because it consumed manpower and material resources, and occupied the space and displacement of the building ship, the bed crossbow was not used in water battles.
In Jiang Qin's opinion, Gan Ning did bring him a huge shock at the beginning. Before he could touch a hair of the enemy, there were no six tower ships and dozens of tower ships. How long did it take? If we counted at this time, the 30,000 naval troops would be sent to the bottom of the river in just one cup of tea. Now the opposite tower ship had shot the crossbow loaded on the ship, so Jiang Qin's chance came. Chase him, stick them up, drag them down, and buy time for the large army. Once he was delayed, Gan Ning would not be able to escape.
Which ship runs the fastest on the water surface? Of course, it is a shipboard! The shipboard is also known as a speedboat. It is narrow and long outside called Mengchong, which is used to conflict with the enemy ship! It is extremely fast because there are many oars on the shipboard. Rows of soldiers can take up swords to attack when fighting on the sidelines, and when there is no shipboard battle, they are all paddlers.
The boat is large and high. Although there are more people paddling than boats, the resistance in the water is much greater than that in the boats.
So under Jiang Qin's order, the ships rushed over from the enemy's rear formation. Their speed was not comparable to that of a big guy like the tower ship. In a short while, they caught up with Gan Ning's tower ship. Their purpose was to entangle Gan Ning and prevent Gan Ning from leaving, so as to gain time for most of the future.
"You want to hold me back!" Gan Ning sneered, "I'm afraid I'll let you down!" According to the general way of thinking, Jiang Qin's move was absolutely good. Jiang Qin's hand not only has a large number of troops, but also has high quality of soldiers. It is definitely not comparable to those Jiangxia soldiers in Gan Ning's hands. He didn't know the power of the bed crossbow before, but six tower ships now know the power, and he also knows how to let Gan Ning use it again.
"Rise the bow and send me some arrows to support General Jiang Qin who supports us!" Jiang Qin sent a message to support Gan Ning, and Gan Ning wanted to kill these annoying messages first. The message was small and fast, so he really couldn't bear to let Gan Ning use a giant arrow with a crossbow. What Gan Ning wanted was to send all Sun Ce's naval army into the river to feed the turtle. If the ships were cleaned up, these messages would probably be scared to retreat and would be difficult to chase after him.
The squad quickly rushed to the center of Ganning's fleet. These small boats were extremely fast and wandered around the building ships. One by one, they quickly fell on the building ships. The navy of these squads were preparing to climb up the squad, and some squads directly drove the boats to hit the building ships. The front of the squad was a corner wrapped in iron, which was very difficult to hit the building ships.
"Shoot!" Except for a few soldiers who operated crossbows on the tower ship, the other soldiers pulled the longbows in their hands, aiming at those trolleys. The shooting of nearly 4,000 people on the trolleys immediately caused casualties and injuries on the trolleys, and there was no room for refuge. The Ganning Army raised its bow and shot from a high place, although the trolleys were wrapped in cowhide, but it could not withstand the attack of the trolleys.
Forty or fifty ships were shrinking at an astonishing speed, not only the rain of arrows from the tower ships, but also the ships of the Ganning Navy also came up. Once the two surrounded, the Sun Ce's navy could not leave immediately. They were swallowed up by the Ganning Navy. Nearly a thousand people were gone. Jiang Qin lost 3,000 troops without real meaning to start the war, which made Jiang Qin's stomach full of flames. He stared at Gan Ning on the Lu Bu Navy's flagship ahead.
"You have a big appetite, but you are not afraid of being full and holding on!" Gan Ning wanted to completely solve the cruising team. Except for the boats who were rowing and helmed, they basically attacked. However, the ending of this was that the speed of the Gan Ning fleet was pulled down and slowly was caught up by Jiang Qin's naval army behind. Another thing was that in the eyes of Lu Su and Jiang Qin, Gan Ning no longer had the opportunity to open the bowstring of the bed crossbow and continue to shoot that kind of giant arrow!
"Go up, annihilate them!" Jiang Qin's stairs approached Gan Ning one by one. The decks and hooks of the soldiers boarded the ship were ready, and they were waiting for the fleet approaching Gan Ning to take the platoon.
"I want to die so much! Then I'll send you down!" The crossbows turned around again, and Lu Su and Jiang Qin saw that they thought there was no use. A huge arrow was once again hit on the crossbows they thought they had no use!
"You want to scare us!" Jiang Qin held on his shoulder. He didn't believe that there was a bowstring on the crossbow. He had to pull a crossbow with more than a dozen strong men. However, from the time the Ganning Army shot the first wave of giant arrows to the deck of the building, Jiang Qin had never seen anyone arching the crossbow. The crossbow without bowstrings was just a scare thing.
"No, no!" Lu Su shook his head suddenly, and Lu Su widened his eyes and looked at the crossbow on the enemy warship opposite. Although he could not see whether the giant arrow on the crossbow had been skewed, he could see that under the giant arrow, there were several giant arrows that seemed to be stacked together on the crossbow. Is this completely different from the one on the Wancheng city wall? That giant arrow was separated from the crossbow itself, not superimposed like this now.
"Are you all aiming!" The generals and schoolmen on the various tower ships in Ganning personally went to the deck to urge their soldiers. There were five bed crossbows on one of their tower ships, and each bed crossbow was fired by two soldiers. Some of these soldiers were not originally a navy soldier. They were all selected by Liu Mang from Lu Bu's army. They were basically people who were good at shooting. Although they could not be said to be sharpshooters, they could still do it in a hundred-step transmission. One was responsible for shooting the bed crossbow and the other was responsible for helping to observe the angle. This was a duo. Since the bed crossbow was made, these people began to train. Their existence was to make the bed crossbow, an unaccurate thing, accurate.
The giant arrows shot from the first wave of the crossbow were not accurate because the war started. Everyone was unsure. In addition, the urging of others on the side, they closed their eyes and felt like they were shot in a general direction. Fortunately, the dense ships prevented the giant arrows from falling into the water.
But now, the first wave of arrow rain not only shot out the giant arrows of the crossbow, but also shot out the timidity of the soldiers on the tower ship. Didn’t you see it? The enemy could not even touch his own hair and was sunk to the bottom of the river. The soldiers already had a sense of confidence in the power of the crossbow. This time it was not just six! This time it was seven, eight, or even nine or ten!
"One tower ship aims at one!" Gan Ning was about to let the deputy general pass the order. The volley can form a large-scale arrow rain. However, the damage can only be concentrated on the previous warships, and aiming and shooting separately may not be necessary! They are now in the middle of the river, and the river surface on both sides of the shore is hundreds or even thousands of meters long. Gan Ning has been to the general's entrance, but there is no end at all. In Ancheng, this section is not small and is a full thousand meters. The wider a tower ship is only about seven or eight meters. This time, Jiang Qin's pursuit put nearly half of the tower ships in the first row to form a trend of encirclement and encirclement, so that Gan Ning can't get rid of it.
"One building ship aims at one?" The deputy general clasped his fists and said, "General, will this not be powerful enough!" He only sank six ships just now. He wanted to aim at one ship. He wanted to kill more than twenty ships at a time! This is too out of range!
"Hmm?!" Gan Ning also pondered. When he was discussing with the young lord, these crossbows were theoretically five crossbows of a building ship that could directly sink an enemy ship, but the premise was that all shot, and they all shot through the bottom of the ship. If the giant arrow shot high or missed, it might not be so powerful. "Two ships aim at one! Let them shoot by themselves!" Gan Ning revised the order to safely.
"Yes!" The deputy general fired a rain of flags. One warship might miss the shooting rate, and the two hits doubled. Even if only half of the arrows fell on the enemy ship, it would have to sink me.
The two ships aimed at one? The flag language was sent over. Although the sailors in Ganning had been in a short time, they knew how to cooperate. The two of them were closer together and they cooperated with each other. They each set up flag language, headed by one of the ships, followed by the other one on the side, and they would shoot whichever one of the ships in front.
"Swoosh!" The giant arrows took off again. This time, the accurate heads of these giant arrows were more than a cup higher than before. The huge arrows quickly pierced the air in the air and made a buzzing sound and headed towards the Jiangdong Navy.
With one of the first to shoot arrows, the other Ganning Navy's crossbows also roared. The huge thrust of the crossbows made the ships cushioned the speed.
"How is that possible!" Lu Su and Jiang Qin's mouths were so grown that they could put an egg in. The bed crossbow that didn't need to pull the bowstring? The bed crossbow that could be shot continuously? This turned into a nightmare.
"Boom boom boom!" Arrows plunged into Sun Cejun's tower ship one by one, and the river began to flow backwards.
It would be fine if the giant arrows were just penetrated. After all, the damage caused by sinking the tower ship to the Jiangdong Navy was limited. However, some generals and officers on the Ganning Navy were thinking about it. They wrapped hundreds of steps above the arrows of the giant arrows. This was not a great mercy to reduce the killing, but ignited these hundred bullets and shot them out with a crossbow.
Chapter completed!
