Chapter five hundred and seventy fourth collision
"Gan Xingba, you have fallen into the trap of a certain military strategist, why don't you surrender immediately?" A voice came from the entrance of the tributary, with an extremely arrogant tone.
Gan Ning took a closer look and saw many warships of Yuan Shao's army appeared in front of them, arranged neatly and filled with fully armed soldiers. The leading military commander looked arrogant and had a burly figure. At first glance, he was not an easy man.
"Who is coming?" Gan Ning looked at the other party and said angrily.
"Da Zhao, the great general who governs the country, Chunyu Qiong!" The coming general said solemnly: "Gan Xingba, you have no way to escape. Surrender to me, Da Zhao, and I may inform your majesty and spare your life."
"Haha!" Gan Ning laughed loudly: "Yuan Shao, that indecisive and tolerant loser, has no right to ask me, Gan Xingba, to surrender. If you surrender now, I will leave your body intact."
Gan Ning's shameless words directly angered Chunyu Qiong. He pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed it diagonally in the direction of Gan Ning, and said angrily: "Come on! Anyone who takes the head of an enemy general will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and promoted to three levels.
class!"
When Gan Ning saw the fleet behind him that had lost most of its fleet, and the countless sailors who were drowned in the sea of flames, his eyes were full of anger and self-blame, and he shouted: "Gather the army to meet the enemy!"
As expected, the fireship arranged by Xu You directly wiped out most of Gan Ning's soldiers and warships. Now Gan Ning could gather less than 5,000 soldiers and only more than 30 warships. The rest were not destroyed in the sea of fire.
It means being surrounded by a sea of fire and arrows and unable to escape, or being too far away to come in a short time.
But Gan Ning couldn't wait any longer! The rain of arrows from both sides of the strait had not stopped. If it continued like this, the entire army of 30,000 men and himself would probably have to be trapped inside.
Although he was full of remorse, Gan Ning still endured the pain in his heart, gathered the few nearby warship soldiers together, ignored the other soldiers who were in trouble, and directly led the charge.
If Gan Ning was alone, he would definitely not begrudge his life and save these brothers before turning back to kill them. But now that he is the commander-in-chief, he has the responsibility of the commander-in-chief. He can die, but the thousands of soldiers around him cannot accompany him.
They must die together with him. He must lead these remaining brothers to fight out. Once the opponent blocks the entrance to the tributary, their army will be completely unable to fly.
"Charge!" Gan Ning, whose eyes were full of regret and anger, divided more than thirty warships into four layers and spread them out, and then roared with a ferocious face.
The entire fleet rushed up neatly under the blessing of Gan Ning's legion talent. Although they were going upstream, their speed was faster than Chun Yuqiong's navy, and they hit it like a giant boulder.
Facing the oncoming Gan Ning army, Chunyu Qiong was disdainful on the face, but extremely cautious in his heart. Hebei's shipbuilding technology was far inferior to Jiangdong's, especially after Yuan Shu opened the technology lag to Jiangdong, the level of warships on both sides was basically at a loss.
They are no longer on the same level. Compared with Gan Ning's huge warships, the warships of his navy are much smaller, and they will definitely suffer losses in a head-on confrontation.
"Fire arrows!" Chunyu Qiong did not start a head-on battle with Gan Ning, but instead released a wave of arrows tentatively.
Countless arrows rained down, but they had no effect against Gan Ning's well-equipped army. With the double protection of rattan armor and inner armor, Gan Ning's soldiers suffered minimal damage.
Gan Ning didn't pay any attention to Chun Yuqiong's rain of arrows, and didn't even block it with the Legion Cloud Qi. After all, his soldiers were too damaged at this time, and now he could only command about 5,000, and after suffering a big defeat for the first time, his morale was a little low.
Low, due to various reasons, the cloud energy is extremely thin, and it is not enough to support a battle. Every bit of cloud energy must be used on the blade, how can such a painless attack be wasted?
"Charge! Crash!" The distance between the warships of both sides was getting closer and closer. Gan Ning had no intention of slowing down at all. Instead, he mobilized the legion's cloud energy more crazily, activated the legion's talent, and commanded his own warships to attack fiercely.
They bumped into each other.
"Ka! Ka! Ka!"
The sound of countless warships breaking into pieces was heard. In Chun Yuqiong's disbelief, many of the ships in the front row of his fleet seemed to be made of paper and were directly smashed into pieces by Gan Ning's warships. Gan Ning's warships were almost smashed head-on.
Like a bulldozer, it rolled over directly without giving his soldiers a chance to fight.
Gan Ning watched this scene excitedly, with a cold smile on his lips. This is his favorite tactic. Fighting guerrillas based on speed and engaging in boarding battles are just a cloud. The quality of my warships is so good.
Just smash all the enemy warships into pieces.
The main force of the warships under Gan Ning's command are stern and tower ships, among which the majority are stern. The stern is a well-protected offensive speedboat with a narrow and long shape and fast speed. It is specially used to attack enemy ships, with a cone ram placed in front.
The main attack method is to smash enemy ships.
Under the leadership of Yuan Shu, the "prophet", the concept of an all-steel ship has been proposed. Although it has not yet been realized by Jiangdong's shipbuilders, it is already possible to wrap the stern's rams, including the front, with thick iron sheets.
It can be done. Thanks to the brainstorming and ingenious design of Jiangdong shipwrights, such a stern is heavy at the front and light at the rear. While ensuring stability and balance, it also greatly increases its speed on the water.
Such a sturdy warship is naturally far beyond the "scum" of Commander Chun Yuqiong. Of course, it is not enough to rely solely on the advancement and sturdiness of the ship. To achieve the effect of crushing enemy warships with overwhelming force, extremely high strength is still required.
The speed creates an impact. Therefore, in the Three Kingdoms, this tactic of crashing enemy ships was generally used by Huangzu's navy in Jingzhou, located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, to deal with Jiangdong. However, due to the insufficient weight of the stern, the effect was not good.
Originally, the technology of warships in this era was not up to par. The so-called three major methods of naval warfare, including arrows and stone shooting, boarding and jumping ship battles, and crashing enemy ships, were actually not universal. The pursuit of speed and lightness was the pursuit of speed and lightness.
The warships are basically unable to achieve the effect of smashing enemy ships, and the main naval combat method is still based on boarding battle. Therefore, the water nature and water combat capabilities of the navy are the key, and the warships are secondary.
But now there is a kryptonian technology party like Yuan Shu, who directly relies on the gathering of shipwrights and brainstorming, coupled with his own guidance and countless financial support, to raise the level of Jiangdong's warships by more than one level. The main force of Jiangdong is
Warships are constantly being improved, and different transformations are carried out for different navy generals.
For someone as fast as Gan Ning, it is most suitable to use the boat collision strategy. Even if he goes upstream and relies on the blessing of his legion talent, he can also collide, just like now.
It's simple and crude. Gan Ning doesn't care whether you have more troops or good water skills, just swing the large specially-made stern in front and hit it. If my boat is advanced, it will directly smash you into pieces, without giving you a chance to engage in a broadside battle. (
