"Let's go, run slower. We will catch up with the ship at the limit distance of the mast currently erected in the other side's water village." Gan Ning gave the order extremely calmly, without any trace of panic at all.
"Here." Xu Sheng began to give orders to the boat crew. He already understood Gan Ning's thoughts.
Xu Sheng's fast ship was like a classic car this time. Its speed plummeted to only half of its original level. However, even so, Xu Sheng's warship still sailed towards the distance with an unswerving attitude.
go.
Unfortunately, the speed of Kuishang's ship was obviously much faster than that of Xu Sheng's ship, which was only half the speed, so the distance between the two sides was soon narrowed to the point where they could be attacked. But even so, Gan Ning still
He ordered Xu Sheng not to look back and to move forward.
Sure enough, after Kushan's navy visually detected that the distance between the two sides was enough to throw stones, several head-sized stones hit Xu Sheng's ship.
"Haha, Wen Xiang, slow down and prepare for battle. The opponent is only one ship. The distance should be just right." Gan Ning glanced at the Kushan Water Village from a distance and could only see the observation tower above.
"Boss, the other side asked us to stop the ship and surrender." Gan Bao translated for Gan Ning.
"Don't worry about them, get ready for battle. Everyone has their crossbows cocked and brought a boatload of armaments. This is the moment they have been waiting for." Gan Ning waved his hand towards Gan Bao and signaled Gan Bao to prepare weapons. He was stuck at this distance.
, just to let Kushan see clearly how his navy was destroyed!
"A merchant ship passed by?" Zariha, the commander stationed at the Malacca Water Village, frowned after hearing the news from his subordinates. "Did you find any?"
"Berklerila has gone to pursue him, and the results will come out soon." the adjutant replied calmly.
"Has there been any progress recently regarding the relics?" Zariha had no interest in his men chasing down merchant ships. As for the Kushan Navy that currently spans the Indian Ocean, it really has not encountered an enemy that it cannot deal with at sea.
.
"Since we received the last response from the south two months ago, we have never seen another response." The adjutant looked at Zariha and said helplessly.
Half of the Imperial Navy appeared east of the Strait of Malacca because it sensed the Relic. However, since it came here and dispatched 90% of the navy in a small fleet, it has completely lost the sense of the Relic.
"Was the last detection in the south? Then increase the investigation efforts in the south." Zariha said coldly.
As a noble of Kushan, Zariha was very aware of the importance of the relics. He knew that if he took this job and didn't give a reply, it would not only be a problem for the nobles!
"Refuse to stop the ship?" Berkeley sneered, "Go ahead at full speed and force the opponent to stop!"
In any case, the Kushan Navy is the overlord of the Indian Ocean in this era. Because of the relic, it has been squatting in this inhospitable place for several months, and it has long been filled with anger. After seeing Gan Ning's living
Only when you don't have other thoughts can you see a ghost.
Berkeley gave an order, and the speed of his warship surged by several percent. Originally, it was only a few hundred steps away from Xu Sheng's large ship. Such a charge would only leave a stone's throw away.
At this moment, Berkeley even saw the look on the face of someone on the opposite boat - Gan Ning, who had a mocking face. Although he didn't understand Gan Ning's actions, Gan Ning's look made him feel uneasy.
The next moment he understood where his uneasiness came from. The fully loaded ship, which was originally too fast to move up, successfully turned around at a speed he could not imagine. The stern of the ship brought huge waves towards his battleship.
Unimaginable speed.
Berkeley yelled and mobilized his guards. He already understood that this was a trap, but it was not important. He believed that the Kushan headquarters ten miles away would immediately launch rescue after seeing this scene.
From the water village to here, Berkeley believed that he would be able to hold on, but unfortunately in the next moment he saw the last image in his life.
Gan Ning, wielding a broadsword, immediately jumped onto the opponent's warship. As the sword was swung, the Hengjiang iron cable pierced the back of Berkeley's head from behind. At this time, his personal bodyguards had not yet rushed over to form a battle with him.
state.
"Fire with all your strength, no need to keep alive!" After Gan Ning killed the opponent with one blow, he suddenly retreated dozens of steps with his front foot touching the deck, and then jumped back to Xu Sheng's side before the guards on the battleship could surround him.
On a big ship.
Taking advantage of the opponent's carelessness, he killed the opponent's leader with one blow. This was something Gan Ning had planned for a long time. There was an inexplicable connection between the captain's guards in Kushan and the captain, although it was not found out from the previous prisoners.
related matters, but the previous confrontation had exposed a lot of things.
If those guards and the captain are allowed to join forces, then the captain will almost be qualified to fight with the internal energy under the cloud, but without those guards, those captains cannot even be said to be excellent generals who can refine Qi into the Gang.
.
Gan Ning believed that the opponent must not have thought that he would suddenly turn around and attack, and this was an opportunity. As long as he killed the captain, the Kushan Navy would lose 50% of its 100% strength.
This is exactly the same as the army. Once the leader is killed, the entire army will have various problems due to scheduling, and it seems that this problem is very serious in Kushan.
At least some legions in the Han Dynasty could fight without the need for anyone to command them. As for the Kushans, their leaders seemed to be linked to the combat effectiveness of their armies.
The moment Gan Ning withdrew, countless arrows shot out from both Guishang's and Xu Sheng's ships towards the other side's soldiers.
But the difference is that Guishang is obviously panicking, and the arrows are sparse. No matter how nervous Xu Sheng is, they can't hide the fact that they have made a lot of preparations, at least at the moment when they raise their hands to shoot, all the arrows are falling.
The soldiers picked up powerful crossbows.
The distance of one arrow, which is the best shooting distance for a crossbow. In Kuishang's panic, he forced a wave of arrows to kill everyone on the deck of the opponent's ship.
Then, according to Gan Ning's plan early in the morning, a large amount of tung oil and sawdust soaked in tung oil were thrown to the opposite side crazily, and then countless fire arrows were shot towards the opponent's warship.
The next moment, the opponent's warship burned. Then a strong wind blew by, and the fire suddenly increased. The sails on the ship and other places that were easy to catch fire suddenly burst into flames.
"Withdraw!" In just one stick of incense, Gan Ning ended this small-scale naval battle. With deliberate calculations and unintentional calculations, the Kushan navy had no power to resist at all.
