"No, tell the lord quickly and ask him to turn the ship around."
On the Yangtze River, Ji Ling was constantly beating among the large ships traveling with a panic look on his face.
"Lord, turn around quickly, there are enemy ships ahead."
Ji Ling finally jumped onto Yuan Shu's main ship and said anxiously.
"Enemies, then fight them."
Yuan Shu's expression remained unchanged as he said, he had just defeated Sun Jian and beheaded him at the foot of Nanchang City. This was the time when he was full of ambition.
"Lord, there are too many enemy troops. Our army has just experienced a fight and does not have much combat effectiveness. It is better to avoid it for now and wait for the army to recover before making plans."
Ji Ling was not Yuan Shu. He had previously observed that the number of enemy warships was simply terrifying, and their sails and sails were like clouds.
The number of warships is definitely several times that of their army.
Most of the ships under their feet were transport ships, not real warships, and did not have much combat effectiveness at all.
Relying on hundreds of stern ships in front of you is really no different from dying.
While Ji Ling was still trying to persuade Yuan Shu to turn around, the warship he was talking about was getting closer and closer to the warship in front of Yuan Shu.
"Lord, Yuan Shu's army is ahead."
Among the thousands of sails was a tall warship, more than fifty feet long, three stories high, with fluttering flags. This ship was the main ship of the fleet.
"Very good! This time, we will kill him in one fell swoop."
In the main ship, Su Fan also raised his telescope and looked at Yuan Shu's army in the distance, with murderous intent on his face.
He has been waiting for this day for a long time.
Finally, when the time came, Sun Jian of Yuzhang had been defeated, so he waited for Yuan Shu to return home.
From Yuzhang back to Runan, if you go by land, it will be thousands of miles away. If you take a detour, it may be thousands of miles away. If you go by water, although the distance may be further, the speed will be twice as fast.
more than.
Therefore, after Su Fan learned the information about Yuan Shu's army, he had already arranged for thousands of warships to sail south from the Guangling River Estuary and stop the opponent directly on the river.
The warships under Su Fan's command have been built since he started to build the East China Sea Territory. Now, more than ten years later, there are tens of thousands of warships.
There are half a million navy troops. This time he dispatched half of the navy army just to capture Yuan Shu in one fell swoop.
"Let's do it! The enemy has discovered it, don't let them escape."
On this big river, they have an absolute advantage. You must know that the Yangtze River in this world has also been expanded.
The surface of the river looks as endless as the sea.
Hundreds of warships can line up in a row and speed towards Yuan Shu's army.
The warships on both sides are not of the same level in terms of quantity or quality.
Yuan Shu has no less than three thousand ships, but more than 70% of them are transport ships. The ships are quite large, with a draft of no less than a thousand tons, but they have no combat effectiveness at all.
The only ones with combat effectiveness are probably the nearly 800 men in front of them.
These sterns range from 500 to 800 tons. If Su Fan were to look at them, they would only be middle-class warships.
Among his thousands of warships, the small warships are about 500 tons, about half of them, the medium warships are about 1,000 tons, and there are still hundreds of large warships left.
Following Su Fan's order, the navy generals immediately organized their own fleets and quickly attacked them in a sharp formation.
Soon, Yuan Shu's army also discovered Su Fan's warships. They all panicked and looked at the fleet that seemed to cover the sky and the sun.
Yuan Shu's soldiers on the warship at the front all had a look of fear on their faces.
Unfortunately, before they could think of retreating, the warships in front were already speeding towards them.
When the distance between the two parties is less than two miles.
They heard a roaring roar, and the soldiers with sharp eyes suddenly saw dots in the sky.
Boom, boom, boom!
A few seconds later, they saw pieces of balls hitting them.
"Enemy attack!"
"Dodge quickly!"
But it's too late.
Countless cannonballs had already blasted over, falling down like raindrops and splashing little splashes of water on the river. Once they landed on their warship, they would either explode suddenly or create a huge crater.
Thousands of artillery pieces and countless catapults were blasting towards this side.
In a matter of seconds, several cockpits were smashed and sunk.
More soldiers were beaten to a bloody pulp.
"Fight back, fight back for me"
Yuan Shu's subordinates were not idlers. Seeing the enemy troops getting closer and closer, some generals also ordered the archers and catapults on their warships to launch a counterattack.
However, their counterattack was so weak.
The two sides always control a distance of about 500 meters. Although there are archers who can reach this distance, they are only a small part. Even if they shoot out, the threat is minimal.
It was even said that there was no threat at all, because Su Fan's army was all covered in iron armor, and there was a layer of leather armor on top of the iron armor.
Even if the bow and arrow hit, it would not be able to do any damage to them at all.
It's like scratching an itch.
The battle fell into a one-sided situation, and Yuan Shu's army was forced to withstand constant long-range attacks.
"Invite Yuan Zheng and the others immediately to stop them."
Yuan Shu at the rear suddenly became gloomy when he learned that the team in front of him had lost dozens of cockroaches with just one stick of incense, while the enemy army had not lost a single one.
"Let the transport ship retreat immediately, find the river bank, and then board the ship immediately"
Yuan Shu is not completely stupid. Although he has nearly a thousand warships, he seems to be no match for the enemy. If these warships cannot stop him, then the transport ships behind him will become targets.
These transport ships transport not only grain and grass but also soldiers. Once these soldiers are sunk or captured, they will be injured or even put into danger.
So now, he couldn't care about anything else and quickly called the people from the magic group to stop the enemy's advance.
Following Yuan Shu's order, hundreds of men in robes from the rear quickly rushed towards the front line.
The dozen or so people headed by them rowed directly on the river. These dozen people were all monks in the Soul Refining Realm.
"Um!"
"Everyone, Yuan Shu's magic group has been dispatched, now it's up to you."
Su Fan also quickly discovered the changes on the front line, especially when his spiritual consciousness sensed the dozen or so powerful people with souls.
These ten people were indeed extraordinary. When they came to the front line, they immediately cast their spells. As they did so, the waves on the river suddenly began to surge.
Huge waves began to roll towards Su Fan and his battleship.
"How dare you!"
At this time, a group of fierce generals under Su Fan also took action, activating their Gang Qi one by one, and instantly shattered these huge waves.
At the same time, two veterans, Huang Zhong and Tai Shici, took out their treasured bows.
