late han empire

Chapter 118 Crushing at Sea

Guan Yu surrendered and changed from Liu Bei's private army general to a real Han officer.

He gave up the civil war and was only responsible for foreign wars. If there was no war, he would be stationed at the frontier and never return to the Central Plains. On the one hand, he did not want to be an enemy of his brother-in-law Liu Bei, and on the other hand, he was tired of endless civil wars.

This is the condition for his surrender, Liu Ming agreed, and appointed him as a lieutenant general to go to the front to assist Tai Shici in the battle against the Great Food Kingdom.

At the same time, Liu Ming was looking forward to the first trial against Pang Tong, whether Pang Tong would be able to persevere through this trial, but then again, for a first-class schemer like him, Liu Ming would He put it back, his existence would hinder his army's attack, and he was still very disgusting.

Therefore, after the first test is over, after three days of rest, the second test will continue. Liu Ming is looking forward to whether he can last until the end of the third test.

As for Li Yan, who was also captured... he surrendered on the fourth day, almost decisively after seeing Guan Yu surrender. When the news was reported to Liu Ming, Liu Ming once suspected that this guy thought The punishment here is at the level of a nightmare, even a person like Guan Yu can't stand it, and a person like him probably can't stand it either. Since he can't stand it, he can simply surrender, why bother.

Chengdu has now fallen, but Liu Bei is not here. What is speechless is that all the people here have disappeared, leaving only an empty city. No one knows where Liu Bei moved the people to. The Jinyiwei in this area is also there. Didn't continue to pass on the news a long time ago, and don't know if he is still alive.

Liu Bei, what was his plan? He seemed to have expected that Liu Mingjun would attack Chengdu.

Let’s talk about two ends, not to mention the troops that are fighting guerrilla warfare inside Cao Cao and Sun Quan, and not to mention Liu Bei who has disappeared, but only to say that the navy on Sun Quan’s side has begun to approach Yizhou and Yazhou at this moment.

They may not have the best sailing skills, but they have the most shipyards. Over the years, Sun Quan has directly manufactured more than 500 large and small ships. Now the army is divided into two groups, with the ships purchased from Liu Ming. Started to attack the two places.

Huang Gai was named General Zhulang, leading a team to attack Yizhou; Ling Cao was named General Chaohai, and led another army to attack Yazhou. At this moment, the two of them have led the troops to the outside of the port.

The news that Sun Quan came to attack the two places had already been known by the defenders, so they set up their positions early and waited for Sun Quan's navy to come to their door. Sun Quan's navy was not afraid of this at all, as if there was some way to win .

"Attack," Huang Gai gave an order, and the clippers in front began to speed up.

Sun Quan's so-called fast boat is just a small sea boat similar to a walking boat, and it can also be regarded as an existence similar to an offshore fishing boat. However, it cannot be denied that the speed of such a boat in the port is faster than that without sail The larger ships are much faster.

The speed of small boats walking on the sea is naturally inferior to that of sailboats. Liu Mingjun has already set the place of battle on the sea outside the port, but these small boats are heading towards the two wings of Liu Mingjun's navy. Just look at the distribution of enemies and friends on the big map The situation can be roughly understood as Huang Gai's intention to block the way of Liu Ming's navy, but this is really a bit of nonsense.

Not to mention the huge gap between the ships of the two sides, but for sea ships, it is not easy to destroy them at a walking speed like ants crawling.

The artillery roared at the first time, and then moved to the water column churning, it didn't need to hit these small boats directly, it only needed to bomb around them, and the upturned waves could also engulf them.

At this time, many crocks flew from the sky with a "woo-woo" and flew directly towards Liu Ming's navy.

This is a delivery device, a very powerful delivery device. It is hard to imagine that there are still people improving the delivery device in this era that has begun to enter the artillery era. But what is surprising is that such a delivery device, launched The range of the ammunition is actually longer than that of Liu Ming's navy's artillery.

It is very miraculous that these earthen jars landed on the boat. The moment they fell, a burst of sparks burst out, and then a small sea of ​​flames set off. Just looking at the speed at which the fire spread, it is not difficult to guess that these earthen jars The tank is filled with fierce fire oil.

"Use sand to put out the fire. Luckily, I prepared that thing long ago. Well, the speed of those walkers has been accelerated," Admiral Dong Xin gave the order to put out the fire, while paying close attention to every move on the battlefield.

Because of this, he discovered that the other party's boat actually accelerated. It was already very fast before, but he didn't expect that he hadn't tried his best.

The opponent was getting closer and closer, and they were actually heading towards the two sides of the fleet, but they didn't intend to intercept, but directly rammed into the warship on Liu Ming's navy side.

"General, there are rams under those boats. They are not ordinary fast boats, but warships," a lieutenant came over to report anxiously.

But it was already too late. These fast boats had already collided with Liu Ming's warships. The worst thing was that after these boats collided, they did not know what mechanism was used to separate the front part of the hull from the main body. The subject then returned to base camp in this way.

However, the part of the hull that was left on the warship directly caused the warship to be unable to move. Dong Xin, who was very familiar with the situation of the ship, naturally soon realized that there might be something attached to the underside of that part of the hull. The anchor, the moment of separation, dropped the anchor at the same time.

But I have to say that this way, these warships have become targets standing there and being beaten, and more than 20 medium-sized warships of the opponent's main warship have already been killed, and each of the ships on the side of the ship , all placed a throwing device, and after entering the effective range, they began to launch incendiary bombs towards the warship.

The most frustrating thing is that these ships went directly to the dead angle of the artillery, so that even if the artillery of the warship wanted to shoot them, they couldn't shoot accurately.

As time went by, the battle situation on Liu Ming's side became worse and worse. There were already more than three ships, which were ignited by the fire and exploded, and finally sank to the bottom of the sea. More ships were still fighting the fire.

"It's time to end," Huang Gai smiled and gave the general attack order.

"This farce should be over," a voice shouted from the horizon.

Everyone's attention was focused there, but they saw strange-looking but fast-moving sailboats heading towards this side. This speed had already reached more than twice the speed of Liu Ming's navy's active warships. .

"Sun's thieves, grandpa is here to see you off," Gan Ning shouted as he stood on the bow of the flagship.

"Change formation, shoot," Gan Ning ordered, and the fleet changed immediately.

The fleet was divided into two and headed towards the sea area where Huang Gai was. While making sure that the opponent and himself were in a 'T' shape, the artillery fired one shell after another very punctually.

At least 70% of the shells fell on Huang Gai's flagship, but Huang Gai was not a person waiting to die, and had already taken refuge.

Even so, the periphery of the flagship was blown to pieces, and the No. 1 ship under Sun Quan's combat effectiveness was directly knocked out of the mundane world, becoming like a beggar.

Almost immediately after the first round of shooting, the second round of shooting began. The shells fell directly on the side of more than 20 capital ships, and at least more than 65% hit the target. More than 15 warships had irreparable wounds, and then began Lots of water ingress.

"What kind of boat is that, and who are the people on board?" Huang Gai couldn't accept it.

He couldn't accept why Liu Ming's ships were so fast, couldn't accept why those cannons were fired so accurately, and what was even more unacceptable was why the intelligence department never mentioned the existence of this force.

Again and again, Huang Gai organized counterattacks.

Time and time again, Gan Ning skillfully bypassed Huang Gai's attack range, and then took advantage of the speed and favorable wind of the boat to look like a pack of wolves in front of Huang Gai, and when he saw the right opportunity, he would pounce on him and bite fiercely.

Yizhou's navy quickly cleaned up the things that prevented them from moving, and quickly moved to join the battle. The two sides pinched back and forth, which was basically a crushing level of combat power.

Huang Gai's troops were constantly decreasing, and the troops that could break into the battle were fragmented. What's worse, the opponent didn't seem to want to engage in hand-to-hand combat at all, and kept a distance from them.

"What can't be done..." Huang Gai was very regretful, but if he didn't leave now, he couldn't leave.

"Where to go?" At that moment, Gan Ning's flagship was only three meters away from Huang Gai's flagship.

At that time, Gan Ning jumped and came in front of Huang Gai.

Seeing Gan Ning coming, Huang Gai showed a joyful expression instead. Perhaps in his opinion, as long as the admiral of Liu Ming's army is captured, they can at least return to the port safely and make preparations before coming back.

But he didn't want to, he underestimated his own age, and underestimated Gan Ning's combat effectiveness.

The two sides fought on the side of the ship for [-] rounds, but in the end Huang Gai was entangled by Gan Ning with iron cables, and he was thrown directly to his flagship. Almost at the same time as he fell, Huang Gai was tied up by the soldiers Strictly, helplessly as a prisoner,
