Overgod Ascension - 636. Chapter 636
Liujiangkou.
Here is where many rivers and rivers in Lingzhou converge. There is a big lake next to it called Hongtao.
At this time, in Hongtao Lake, two navy divisions slowly approached.
The two navy divisions are under the banner of Ding Wang, with numerous ships, canvases like clouds, covering the sky and the sun, but they look a little scattered, and it seems that they have not been new for a long time.
There is also a small group with only 10,000 people, but with high morale, under the banner of Mamun.
On the most central flagship, Wu’s Pheasant is also looking at the fleet on the opposite side.
“I heard that Mameng naval masters are elite, watching their orders, even if they are on the water, they are orders and prohibitions. They are uniform, and they are strong!”
After a long time, she sighed leisurely: “I heard that these navy soldiers were mostly water bandits before them, so there are so many talents in the world!”
“Kings!”
The following generals, especially the navy generals, heard this, and immediately lost their face and went to kneel down: “The final general will wait for the previous defeat, and the crime deserves a million death. Today, I also ask the king to give another opportunity to commit crimes and meritorious service!”
“Um!”
Wu’s pheasant slightly chins his head, and points out one person: “Chen Xun! Today I have ordered you to be the vanguard, with five iron-clad ships and 15 tortoise-shell ships against the enemy!”
“Yes!”
Chen Xun was a local gentry in Lingzhou. At this time, he received the order and immediately dismissed the flagship. It didn’t take long for him to separate a small team from the huge navy and face the opposite side.
“This is the armored ship that the king ordered the Ministry of Industry to rush out?”
On the flagship, Wu Tiehu, Chen Shuncheng and other army generals were a little indifferent when they saw the five large ships covered with iron armor slowly sailing out.
The hull of this ship is huge, and above the water, it looks like a giant steel beast.
“Yes, this is the son who personally drew the blueprints, and then the craftsmen of the Ministry of Engineering led hundreds of workers to supervise them day and night!”
Zeng Yu said next to him: “Not only is the surface wrapped in iron, the defense is greatly increased, the deck is no different from the land, you can put a crossbow, a ballista, and even a catapult!”
…
“Good boat! Really good boat!”
Although it was not the first time that Chen Xun stepped on an iron armored boat, he still couldn’t help but admire.
“Huge ship and heavy crossbow, is the trend of future water warfare…”
As a talent who has won Wu Ming’s green eyes and passed the test of Wu’s pheasant, Chen Xun has a keen eye and knows his own advantage at a glance.
“The enemy navy has many water bandits. The other generation is good at navigating boats. The Yangtze River is like walking on the ground and fighting against water, like wolves in the water… My navy is a new training.
“But guarding this ship is like a fortress on the sea. Even if the enemy wolves are scattered and courageous, how can it be broken? Then hit it with crossbow arrows and slings, and it will be invincible!”
When the captain underneath heard this, they all praised: “See you, the general!”
“Strike!”
All ships on the water conquest were commanded by the flagship. At this time, Chen Xun’s iron-clad ship was the flagship. Upon the order, the fleet immediately forced the enemy.
“Woo…”
The horn on the opposite side sounded, and a fleet of ships greeted him as well.
Mamen’s navy mostly used small boats, which were very convenient to travel on the water like wind. At this time, several large boats came out to meet them, and dozens of small boats followed around them. In the whistling, they surrounded them like a pack of wolves.
Getting closer, the sailors with short coats and red arms, holding bows, crossbows, and daggers are clearly visible.
“Bed crossbow, hair!”
Chen Xun’s expression remained unchanged, and the crossbow in the fleet roared immediately after an order.
Shoo!
The crossbow and arrows used on this water have been modified to almost have the thickness of a baby’s arms, and the bowstring trembles, as if fired out like a cannonball, assassinating people, dismantling the ship, and immediately screaming from the small boat on the opposite side.
“kill!”
After several waves of mutual shooting and chaos, the enemy’s small boat finally leaned on the outermost tortoise boat, but when the enemy sailor bit a sharp knife and wanted to jump on the edge of the boat for a battle, he was surprised to find that the front There is also a layer of tortoise shell on the top of the ship, and from the gaps on the four sides, there are spears and spears protruding, like a hedgehog, it is difficult to speak.
As for the iron armored ship, it is even more like a giant city, unattainable, and its chassis is extremely strong.
“Bump me over!”
Chen Xun looked at the small boats with a grinning smile on his face.
Huhu!
Around the iron armored ship, two rows of oars stretched out, paddling the lake, causing the five fierce beasts to rush forward at an alarming speed.
“what!”
The sailors on the small boat screamed again and again, and the ship was shattered and had to dive to survive. Except for a few very watery people, the rest were shot to death by archers, and blood stained.
“Set the boat on fire!”
Seeing that these adept naval forces were defeated so easily, the vanguard on the opposite side finally made a special move.
A dozen small boats in the rear were filled with firewood and lamp oil. At this time, they ignited, and they burned and turned into torches on the water. They were manipulated by dead men and rushed in.
“Bowbolt, trebuchet, shoot me!”
Chen Xun’s face remained unchanged, and he responded calmly, the crossbow bed on the ship and the small trebuchet roaring again and again.
Bang bang!
A small boat was hit by a rock and disintegrated halfway. The dead man on it broke and fell into the small lake.
A few more small boats got close, and were set on fire by crossbows. There were not one dead soldier on it.
In the end, there were only a few fire boats approaching, but they were dragged away by the tortoise boat in front of them with a long hook without any hassle.
The navy forward on the opposite side lingered for a long time, but was finally helpless and had no choice but to retreat.
Cheers suddenly came from Chen Xun’s fleet.
‘call……’
As everyone knows, at this time Chen Xun was also very relieved:’These recruits, after a big victory, finally raised their minds, even if they encounter enemies in the future, they will dare to fight and fight, and they will not suddenly collapse…’
…
The three armies here cheered, but in the navy camp, Ma Meng’s face was very ugly.
“Originally, the Dingzhou Navy had already suffered several setbacks, but I didn’t expect it to recover so quickly and the momentum to make a comeback so fast!”
Ma Meng sighed.
Now he also knows the difference with the Daye Dawu pheasant.
The other party didn’t care about small defeats. Even if the Dingzhou Navy lost more than half of it, as long as the foundation was still there, there were still countless resources to mobilize under an order, and the Lingzhou family took the initiative to donate people and materials, and the recovery ability was strong.
But on my own side, there are only two counties, one of the navy’s deaths, one less ship, one ship lost, and the shipyard’s progress is not satisfactory. Often when one ship is launched on his side, the other party has already increased by three. Five ships! And the sailors are always full!
How can such a gap be recovered with manpower?
“Great handsome! Excited!”
At this time, the former Counselor Sun was overjoyed, and he quickly reported: “I have heard that the general is asking for help, and he pays great attention to it. He has sent a number of powerful masters and uncles. Even if the ancestor also has Ling Yu, he said that it will be at a critical time. , Help the commander!”
“Oh?”
When Ma Meng heard this, his thoughts were a little shaken, but he was wobbly again.
…
On Hongtao Lake.
After several days of temptation and consumption, Ma Meng finally couldn’t stand it first, mobilized all the navy, and prepared for a decisive battle.
Of course Wu’s pheasant would not show weakness, and directly used Chen Xun, Gan Meng, and other navy masters as the governor to fight in Hongtao Lake.
At this time, hundreds or thousands of ships were fighting together, and the scene was quite different.
“Catapult, oil bomb preparation, projectile!”
Chen Xun stared at the ship on the opposite side with a sharp light flashing in his eyes. After waiting for a moment, he suddenly shouted.
“send!”
The trebuchet has been prepared, but this dress is not stone bullets, but terracotta pots, which are full of black kerosene.
This oil is much lighter than stone, and the trebuchet can easily throw a very long distance, hitting an enemy ship, but it immediately spreads the fire, and even floats in water, easily inextinguishable, and immediately burns the enemy’s ghosts and howling wolves.
“Very good! Go on!”
Seeing the plan worked, Chen Xun’s eyes flashed with excitement.
This oil bomb is also the winner of King Ding’s preparations this time. It has been hidden deep and kept secret, in order to work hard now to exert the greatest effect and strike the enemy.
“The poison of using soldiers has nothing to do with fire or water, but at this time it is both!”
Many oil bombs fell into the enemy ship, immediately burning a sea of flames, and from time to time, people could be seen jumping into the lake full of flames.
It’s a pity that even though they are familiar with water, in the center of this battlefield, they are like duckweeds.
“Husband war, courage too!”
Since he was not in charge of the soldiers, Chen Xun had no mercy at this time: “After this round of fire attack, he must pursue the victory and destroy the enemy fleet in one fell swoop, and it is best to shoot down the navy Dazhai!”
“Captain, no, the wind has changed!”
At this moment, a school lieutenant watched the change of the banner and immediately exclaimed in exclamation.
“wind direction?”
Chen Xun was surprised.
Today I chose the fire attack because it was the west wind blowing, which was beneficial to his navy. No matter how the fire spreads, it can only be raging in the enemy army, but now…Looking at the flag that is gradually roaring sharply, Chen Inferior complexion suddenly changed.
“Turning to the east wind…”
He looked to the opposite side. Those big ships that had been burned by the fire had gradually separated from the Mamen Naval. There were signs of drifting towards this side, and his face could not help but become a little white: “It’s self-defeating? Impossible. Before the battle today, I will taste the water myself. Xiangtu invited Taoist priests to watch the sky. There is absolutely only a westerly wind. How can this evil wind come from?”
He looked at the fleet on the opposite side, and his eyes suddenly moved: “Could this Ma Meng have invited a celestial master demon who can interfere with the celestial phenomena?”
The art of war is the only thing, anything that blocks the army is a demon!
“Haha… Pass the order and attack!”
On the opposite side, Ma Meng also went to the flagship. Seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but say to Counselor Sun next to him: “Ling, my uncles, my mana is so powerful that I can borrow the east wind to help me win a big victory. When this battle is over, I will definitely I want to reward you very much!”
“Thank you, handsome!”
Counselor Sun paid his respects, and he was also shocked: “There are experts in the enemy’s army. At this time, if you can still perform spells, it must be the ancestor!”
