Cai Mao's estimate was correct. When the Jinling Army's warships turned around and attacked again on their own side, they revealed a huge flaw due to the turnover of the hull.
Maneuvering a huge warship on the water is not like riding a horse. You can just turn a corner when you say it. Only the concerted efforts of many soldiers controlling the course and sails of the entire ship can turn the bow of the ship around.
Not to mention that so many warships would be needed to reposition themselves.
Under the arrangement of Cai Mao and others, Jingzhou's naval forces found the distance and began to launch large-scale stone throwing and throwing objects at Jinling Navy. "Boom, boom..."
"Rumble..."
With repeated sounds, those huge stones, driven by the Jingzhou Navy's trebuchets, flew into the sky one by one, and fell fiercely on the Jinling Navy's camp.
It is not easy for a trebuchet to locate dynamic ships on a large river, so the hit rate is low. However, a low hit rate does not mean that it cannot hit, especially since the Jinling Navy warship is turning its bow. In addition to the original
It was spinning around, basically not moving anywhere.
At that time, many Jinling Army ships were bombarded by flying rocks and suffered huge damage. Several Jinling Army ships that bore the brunt were even declared scrapped, and the soldiers on board jumped into the water to escape.
Lu Lingqi was very anxious when she saw this situation in the Chinese Army. "This, this kind of tactics, the losses will be too great!"
Tao Shang's face was gloomy. He clenched his fists tightly and said to Lu Lingqi: "There is no way. There is no fighting method in the world that does not require any sacrifices, especially water warfare. There is no need to use tricks. I use this method."
I just hope to minimize the loss."
As several more warships were sunk by Liu Biao's army, Jinling's naval forces finally adjusted their counterattack formation.
Then, I saw the huge Jinling Navy going down the river, and the warships were like flying fish in the sea, rushing straight towards Liu Biaojun's warships, while the soldiers of the Jinling Navy all frowned and stared blankly.
Wait until Liu Biaojun gets close and prepare a blow for them.
But after Cai Mao saw the Jinling Army approaching, he didn't panic at all. On the contrary, he had a proud smile on his lips.
The pottery merchant thought that our Jingzhou Navy was only as powerful as the trebuchet? Hey, he was totally wrong.
Jingzhou navy has many melee weapons on every warship, such as crossbows, darts, and hook guns. It can be said that everything is available, even fishing boat chains are not missing at all.
When you get closer, I’ll make you look good!
But the actual situation was far beyond Cai Hao's expectations.
I saw that the first Jinling Navy ship that rushed into the Jingzhou Navy camp was already connected with the edge of a Jingzhou Army warship.
Before the Jingzhou navy could take action, the four rackets next to the Jingzhou warship brought extremely high gravitational potential and slammed down on the Jingzhou navy's ship.
When the Jingzhou navy first saw the eight large flag poles on both sides of the Jinling navy, they didn't know what they were going to do. Because they were beautiful decorations, they never thought that this crap could be so powerful.
I saw the huge racket slam down suddenly, hitting the Jingzhou Army's ship hard.
Some hulls suddenly broke, some bows suddenly broke, and smaller warships even had their keels shattered and were scrapped on the spot.
A large number of Jinling Navy warships collided with the enemy's formation, and each ship's eight shooting poles fell one after another. Due to the extremely close distance, almost all of them missed.
It is a pity that the Jingzhou Army is trapped in a cocoon this time and cannot escape even if it wants to.
Each of the warships of the Jingzhou Army was equipped with a large number of stone bombs to allow the trebuchets to be used. However, because they carried too many stones and the draft was too deep, it was quite inconvenient to operate.
As a result, the Jinling Army's racket was almost certain to hit every hit.
In an instant, the warship position of the Jingzhou Army's front line was almost reduced to ruins.
And those soldiers of the Jingzhou Army who fell into the water, even if they knew how to swim, became the living targets of the Jinling Army. The swords and guns in the hands of the Jinling Army were almost pierced into the water with their eyes closed, and only the white color was dyed by the river water.
The blood was red, and countless screams were heard coming towards Liu Biao in the rear.
Liu Biao's face turned pale with shock. He stood up suddenly, pointed forward tremblingly and said to Cai Mao, "Why is this?"
Cai Mao was also a little dumbfounded.
He has studied water warfare for half his life, and this is the first time he has seen a weapon that can destroy a warship so completely.
How did this potter figure it out? This guy is actually as difficult to deal with as the legend says!
At this moment, I saw Gan Ning, Zhou Tao, Jiang Qin, Xu Sheng, Song Qian, Jia Hua and other Jinling Army water warriors rushing through the wreckage of the warships in the front line, roaring towards the Chinese army where Liu Biao was.
Come.
Gan Ning was dressed in a brocade robe, with feathers on his head and a bell around his waist. He jumped onto a Jingzhou Army warship and shouted excitedly: "The Prime Minister has an order, whoever kills Liu Biao can be killed."
He is also the lord of Jingzhou!"
The warships behind him made a unanimous response, and the sound was so loud that it almost echoed throughout the sky and the earth.
On the other hand, the officers and soldiers on the Jingzhou Army's side were all pale at this moment, and the morale of the two sides suddenly formed a sharp contrast.
Just as Gan Ning was raising his arms and shouting, a general from the Jingzhou Army jumped on the warship he was on and shouted at him: "Jinfan thieves, stop being so rampant and trying to kill the Hussar General.
You need to get through me first."
Gan Ning turned around and looked, only to see that the coming general had a majestic appearance, extraordinary weapons, and murderous intent. He was not easy to deal with at first glance.
Gan Ning licked the edge of his knife: "You are quite knowledgeable if you can call me Jinfan Hero. Who are you?"
Lai Jiang rolled his eyes and almost made Gan Ning angry to death.
Who the hell called you a hero?
The general spat fiercely: "I am General Wenpin of Jingzhou! Gan Ning, do you dare to show off? Who just called you a hero?"
Gan Ning shook his waist and let the bell make the sound of "Ding Bell Ding Bell".
Wenpin couldn't stand his shameless energy, so he stepped forward with a knife and fought fiercely with Gan Ning. The two of them fought back and forth, and the fight was extremely fierce.
On the other side, a navy in a small boat shuttled back and forth in the large ship. As they approached the large ship, they saw the young general in charge jumped onto the warship with a strong push of his feet.
Cai Hao, Huang Zu and others rushed to Liu Biao to protect him, staring at the young man cautiously.
The young man looked back and forth at the crowd, looked around the crowd, then took a deep breath and shouted: "I am the prime minister's third apprentice Ding Feng, which one of you is Liu Biao? Hurry up and accept the punishment."
die!"
When Huang Zu heard this, he was so angry that the world had really changed. Even a potter's boy in his teens dared to kill the southern overlord?
Huang Zu roared angrily and rushed towards Ding Feng with a howl.
