Chapter 451: The Great Victory of Zhouling
It’s just that the Jingzhou navy did not dare to stop it, but it doesn’t mean it’s okay.
The rod on Liu Feng's flagship began to attack freely, and he preferred the target closest to the target. The Jingzhou navy's boat had almost no defense power, and even the slightly larger red horse could not afford it. Almost once A heavy blow can break a Jingzhou warship.
Yes, the real crushing directly smashes the Jingzhou battleship to pieces.
The face of Chen Sheng, the general of the fleet in the distance, changed drastically. When he saw Liu Feng's flagship rushing towards him, he was still mocking him for being a fool.
Although those twenty small boats can't play much role, they can at least protect the big boat.
As long as there is a small boat, the big boat can fight calmly and not be beaten up or lose sight of one or the other.
But the other party was so arrogant that he dared to stay behind the boat and rushed over to the formation alone. This could not even be described as stupid. This was simply suicide.
But at this time, the actual situation in the battle formation was that he slapped him hard.
The opponent was really rushing back and forth in the battle formation with a single horse. With just one stick of incense, he had already sunk more than twenty warships, killing and injuring Jingzhou soldiers. Hundreds of people, and the same number of soldiers fell into the water.
Even though these soldiers are very good at swimming and are good at swimming, they are still wearing leather armor and are in the battle formation, so the probability of survival is really not high.
In comparison, Liu Feng's giant ship is still like a bull, rushing around and acting recklessly.
The Jingzhou Navy had no choice but to think about him.
"Fire Attack!"
Chen Sheng gritted his teeth and issued an order. The reason why he gritted his teeth was because he suspected that the Fire Attack might not be effective.
According to general water war experience, fire attack and jump attack are actually the most effective against a single large ship. This is why large warships must have small warships as auxiliary, and the ones they are defended against are jump attack and fire attack, especially the latter. As long as there is a small boat, it is difficult to attack a large boat.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Tai had to wait until Jiang Qin destroyed the front line of the Jingzhou army and disperse the opponent's boat, and then throw himself into the main sword and only attack, all he feared was the opponent's sudden close-range fire attack.
Chen Sheng did not issue a fire attack order just now because he wanted to engage in a jump-and-go battle. Liu Feng's flagship was launched last year. Not only was it huge tonnage, but it was also brand new, with various features on it. All kinds of novel combat tools make people feel greedy at first sight.
Although fire attack can reduce casualties, jumping to the gang can seize the opponent's warship for your own use.
Chen Sheng naturally wanted to capture this new giant ship by jumping gang battle.
But who would have thought that the other party was like a hedgehog, with the corners of the bow hitting the boat invincible, and the slap on the deck was a magic weapon. No matter how hard he has achieved, he has already won many results. Compared with the warship, Chen Sheng wants to get a shot rod more.
It's just that the current situation forces Chen Sheng to make a decision.
Although the shot rod is good, the victory or defeat on the main battlefield is more important.
Chen Sheng had to give up and issued a fire attack order.
The quality of the Jingzhou naval army is quite good, especially the Jiangxia naval army, after all, it is on the front line.
Although Huang Zu has been greedy for pleasure in recent years and has relaxed a lot in government and military affairs, this has also made the Jiangxia naval army less well-trained than before. However, due to the existence of Su Fei, Deng Long, Lu Jie and other long generals, the combat power of the Jiangxia navy remained above the passing line.
Chen Sheng ordered that the fleet, which had already shown signs of chaos, began to pull back and rely on the flexibility of the boat to break away from contact with Liu Feng's flagship.
Although there are still some Jingzhou naval soldiers injured by bows and crossbows, as long as they avoid the front of Liu Feng's flagship and keep a certain distance from the stern of the ship, they will at least not be easily sunk by the opponent. The battleship is here.
At the same time the fleet was scattered, more than a dozen fire ships were ready.
After Chen Sheng's order, more than a dozen fire ships ignited and rushed towards Liu Feng's flagship from three directions.
These fire ships have been transformed, with forks made of fine iron at the bow. Once they hit the other party's ship, it is difficult to be pulled away again. "The fire ship is coming!"
The scout on the mast lookout platform immediately issued a warning, warning everyone on the deck.
Liu Feng's heart tightened slightly, but his face was not revealed: "Get up the window and put down the iron fork."
Long before rushing alone, Liu Feng knew that the other party must have been there. I can use fire attack and have already prepared a method of response. Now it depends on how effective this method of response is.
With Liu Feng's order, the wooden boards on both sides of the giant ship were lifted, revealing the window inside. Then, iron forks as thick as a child's wrist stretched out.
The fire ship roared by tigers. When it reached a distance of about a few dozen meters, the helmsmen on the fire ship jumped one after another. If you don’t jump at this distance, you may not be able to escape safely once you hit it.
Lost the helmsman, although the fireboat still gallops forward, there is no chance to adjust its direction.
However, at this time, Liu Feng's flagship also slowed down, and the fireboat was about to successfully hit.
But at this time, iron forks adjusted their direction, and under the impact of the fireboat, they plunged deeply into the wooden board at the bow.
There was an iron fork as a resistance, and the outer ship was brushed with tung oil and covered with cowhide, and it was constantly watered, so the fire ship could not damage the giant ship where Liu Feng was located.
Immediately afterwards, the giant ship opened the sail again, and the slowing speed increased again and collided towards Chen Sheng's fleet. This time, the giant ship also brought a fire ship around it, and adjusted the posture of the fire ship through an iron fork, which expanded the range of killing a whole circle.
For a moment, Chen Sheng's fleet avoided it, but was caught off guard and was rushed into pieces by the giant ship and the fire ship.
At the same time, a flag was raised at the top of the mast of the giant ship.
Lu Meng and Ling in the distance saw each other, and immediately their blood surged, and they could no longer suppress their anxiousness.
"The whole army attacked!"
Lu Meng and Ling took the lead, followed the road opened up by Liu Feng, and rushed towards the direction where Chen Yun was. Behind Lu Meng and Ling Tong, warships were gathering on both sides of the river and rushed towards them.
These two fleets were reinforcements led by Gan Ning and Dong Xi.
As soon as the situation occurred in the back, Liu Feng defended the enemy alone, Gan Ning and Dong Xi were immediately scared away from their souls and six spirits. After awakening, they immediately delegated their command to the deputy general. He personally led the reserve team and the warships drawn from him to quickly leave the front and rush to the rear.
Liu Feng, at the front of the front, had approached the warship where Chen Sheng was located, and the distance between the two sides was less than 300 meters.
Chen Sheng was riding a ship that was larger than a red horse, but smaller than a bucket ship and a squad.
The ship is similar to an enlarged red horse, but it is covered with a shed cover on the hull, which can block the crossbow and shattered stones, while people hide it in the shed cover, so it is called a shed.
Chen Yun was standing on the mast at the stern of the boat, observing the battle situation in the distance. Perhaps because he was too anxious, he did not notice that Liu Feng's car was getting closer and closer to him. By the time Chen Yun noticed something was wrong, the other party had already rushed to the 200-meter range of his own Lulu.
The personal soldiers under his command had already begun to turn without waiting for Chen Yun's order.
The body size of the radius is larger than that of the red horse, and it will also require a larger radius and more time when changing directions. In the end, although Lu Luo, where Chen Sheng was, avoided the collision of Liu Feng's flagship, he failed to avoid the fire ship brought over. What's even more unlucky is that the original collision angle of the fireboat plunged into the stern of the Lu Luo's ship, which made Chen Sheng only have one way to change the boat if he wanted to get rid of the other party's entanglement.
The violent impact almost caused Chen Sheng to fall down. Fortunately, at the last moment, he firmly pulled the mast and did not fall off the watchtower.
But before he could be glad, a heavy arrow came straight into his face.
Chen Sheng hurriedly dodged and finally got out of the feather arrow, but he didn't expect that his eyes would hurt severely, and his eyes fell into a dark state.
It turns out that the archer was Liu Feng, and the archery technique he just used was the multiple arrows that Taishi Ci was best at.
Although Liu Feng's skills are not as good as Taishi Ci's ability to use the five-level archery technique, he can also use the two levels.
Although Chen Sheng avoided the first level, he failed to avoid the second arrow that followed, and was hit in the eye. Even if he did not die, he was seriously injured.
Sure enough, a group of people shouted in a hurry, calling for Chen Sheng. The surrounding warships also saw this scene, and their morale fell to the bottom and even forgot to hide.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
At this moment, the twenty warships of Lu Meng and Ling Tong entered the battlefield.
Both of them are brave generals. Although they are young, they already have great force. In addition, with excellent armor and brave armored soldiers, Chen Sheng was closely following him. In addition, Chen Sheng was not aware of his life and death at this time, as soon as the two sides contacted him, Chen Sheng's troops were beaten to retreat step by step.
Chen Sheng did not get up to command for a long time, which made the warships around him who found that something was wrong lost.
They are concerned about whether their chief general is in trouble, and Liu Feng's flagship swept all the way, leaving Chen Sheng's troops helpless.
After all the circumstances, Chen Sheng's troops were actually not far from collapse.
When Gan Ning and Dong Xi arrived, they didn't even contact each other, Chen Sheng's troops began to collapse and fled in all directions.
"Don't worry about them, solve Huang Zu first!"
When Chen Sheng's troops collapsed and headed towards the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, that is, when they were escaping from the way they came, Liu Feng stopped Gan Ning and Dong in time. The pursuit of Xi, Lu Meng, Ling Tong and others made them turn around and attack Huang Zu.
In fact, at this moment, Huang Zu's troops were already at the end of their strength. If they had not received reinforcements from Cai Mao, they would probably not be able to hold on.
But Cai Mao had only a little old capital left in his hand. Just as Cai Mao hesitated whether to throw it all over, Huang Zu's central army collapsed.
The following situation completely turned to Liu Feng's troops. After solving Huang Zu's central army, Cai Mao's troops could not resist Zhou Tai's central army ship.
Although these ships are not equipped with many iron forks like the one Liu Feng is on and have a certain resistance to fire ships, the rods on these ships are not weaker than those from Liu Feng.
The large ships under Cai Mao's troops were transferred away by Huang Zu. How could the remaining few large ships be Zhou Tai's opponent? They were attacked by Zhou Tai's troops along with the surrounding walkers, Chima and Lu Luo. The only difference is that it needs to be hit by a few times.
The battle was a complete victory, and Liu Fengjun chased for seventy or eighty miles. Except for a few Jingzhou soldiers who fled in a fast boat, a few abandoned the ships and landed on the shore, the others were almost alleviated by Yangzhou waters. The army was caught in one place.
After the war statistics, the Jingzhou navy was almost wiped out in this battle.
More than 40,000 people were captured by the Yangzhou navy, more than 4,000 ships of all sizes, hundreds of them were sunk, and nearly 10,000 drownings were killed.
The Jingzhou navy, which had more than 50,000 people, finally escaped less than 5,000 people.
Even Huang Zu himself was captured alive. From Huang Zu, Su Fei, Deng Long and Zhang Hu were all captured. Only Cai Mao and his personal soldiers were surrounded. Seeing that the situation was not good, they fled early. Only then did he escape by chance.
When the battle on the river surface came to an end, the Yangzhou navy was pursuing the Jingzhou navy in full swing, only the powerful county soldiers guarded Zhouling City directly opened the door and asked Liu Feng to surrender.
There is a very famous Zelin area on the upper right side of Zhouling City, called Wulin, and to the north of Wulin is the more famous Huarong Road.
At this point, the Jingzhou navy was completely broken by Liu Feng. Although there were still thousands of soldiers in Cai Mao and 20,000 or 30,000 people in Zhang Yun's hands, do they still have the courage to fight against each other, and they are so full of energy that they have lost their energy. It’s hard to say about Liu Feng, let alone reverse the situation.
Now, Liu Feng has completely sealed the connection between Jingnan Expedition Army and Xiangyang.
Unless the Jingnan Expedition Army evacuated from Linxiang City as soon as possible, then turned to Jiangling, abandoned the boat and landed back to Xiangyang.
This difficulty and logistical pressure are much greater than that of the Han River, and it takes a long time to return to Xiangyang City before Liu Feng besieged Xiangyang.
"Lord, Gan Ning asks for a meeting."
Liu Feng was resting in the cabin at this moment. He just started to cheer for the drums, and later he was wearing more than 30 kilograms of iron armor to command. In the battle, he finally shot Chen Sheng in the chaos. He was really tired at this moment, so he took a break.
But unexpectedly, not long after resting, Gan Ning ran back to ask for a meeting.
"Xingba asks for a meeting?"
Liu Feng felt a strange sense of familiarity in his heart, but he couldn't figure out what it was, so he ordered, "Please come in."
After getting permission, Gan Ning walked into the cabin.
As soon as he saw Liu Feng, Gan Ning immediately knelt down and worshiped him with a big gift: "I'd like to see the lord."
"Why should Xingba do this?"
A stronger sense of familiarity flashed through, but Liu Feng still couldn't remember it, but this did not affect his advance and helped Gan Ning up.
Now Liu Feng's status is quite high, a real prince and an important official of the court.
He can still maintain humility and treat Gan Ning with such courtesy. Even though the latter is unruly by nature and has a straightforward temper, he is moved by Liu Feng's eyes with tears in his eyes.
But this time he did not obey Liu Feng's support, but lowered his head more respectfully and begged: "I would rather have something to do, please ask your lord to agree."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Liu Feng pretended to be unwilling, "Do you still have to act like this between you and me? Let's get up and talk first, otherwise everything will not be allowed."
