Chapter 859 Water Dragon
"Oh!"
"Ouch!"
Huang She didn't know whether to fight or flee. He was still thinking in his mind and failed to issue a military order. The soldiers under his command also had their eyes darkened. They stood still and didn't know what to do. They didn't move forward to attack or retreat. They were stunned for a moment. In place, floating on the water.
However, the Xiliang Navy on the opposite side did not hesitate. Under the leadership of Gan Ning, they bravely rushed forward and caught the Jingzhou Navy off guard. Many of the Jingzhou sailors in the front row fell into the water and even had their warships smashed apart.
"kill!"
The Jinfan soldiers stood on the deck one by one, aiming at the Jingzhou sailors, bows and arrows, and the arrows flew out, killing each Jingzhou soldier on the spot.
"Damn it, fight back!"
Although they had not received the order yet, these Jingzhou soldiers were not fooled after all. They were caught off guard at first. After they reacted, they were naturally furious and started to fight back with their bows and arrows.
For a while, there was a constant exchange of arrows between the two armies, and the dense rain of arrows seemed to have woven into a large net in the air. From time to time, soldiers on both sides were hit by arrows and fell on the deck, while some unlucky ones fell into the water. After all, this is a water battle, no more than a land battle, where agility is very important. Therefore, the sailors of both armies all wear light armor, which cannot withstand sharp arrows.
"Major General, the enemy has come forward to fight. Major General, hurry up and command everyone to defend against the enemy!" Huang An hurriedly shouted to Huang She.
"Ah, let's fight!" Huang She woke up from a dream.
"Boarding battle!"
Gan Ning shouted loudly, and the hundreds of brave Jinfan thieves could no longer hold back any longer. They dropped their bows and arrows, and held the Huanshou knife tightly in their hands with stern eyes.
A long pedal stretched out from the boat and slapped onto the opposite boat. The iron hooks on it firmly fixed the two boats, showing a strong passage.
Each of the Jinfan thieves wielded a ring-shaped sword and held a small leather shield in their hands, and launched an intensive charge in this narrow passage.
"Shoot them, shoot them!"
The Jingzhou Army officers on the ship hurriedly issued orders, while the archers on the ship focused their firepower on the Jinfan thief on the side board.
Whoosh whoosh!
"ah!"
From time to time, the body of the Jinfan thief was hit by arrows. His body shook for a while, and then he fell from the side board into the water. There was a big splash of water with a "pop" sound, and then blood slowly floated up, without any trace of blood. The Jinfan thief who was shot in the vital part struggled to float up quickly, and it took a while for the Jinfan thief who was shot in the vital part to float out of the water face up.
Although some comrades were hit by arrows and fell into the water from time to time, these Jinfan thieves had been in battle for a long time. They followed Gan Ning and experienced the battle between the Jiangxia Navy and the Jiangdong Navy in the Huang Zu era. They had seen scenes ten times more intense than this. Now, It can only be regarded as a small fight.
Each of the Jinfan soldiers had sharp ears and eyes. They used their small leather shields to block the incoming arrows, while speeding up and running on the side planks.
The first Jinfan soldier finally reached the end and jumped onto the deck with a roar.
"kill!"
There were four arrows inserted into the leather shield that was no bigger than his chest. He was so angry that he couldn't help but roar, and then he suddenly swung out his sword. "Chi Liu" cut through the thin leather armor and chest of an archer, revealing a long wound and blood gushing out.
The Jinfan soldiers followed him one by one and jumped onto the deck. They were naturally very angry at being treated as live targets just now. They rushed into the Jingzhou army like tigers descending from the mountain, brandishing the ring-headed sword and started killing.
The Jingzhou soldiers were caught off guard, and more than a dozen of them died at once. The remaining Jingzhou soldiers hurriedly threw down their bows and arrows and drew their swords to fight. However, they were few in number, and the Jinfan thieves who rushed up were numerous and brave. They quickly killed corpses all over the deck and successfully occupied the ship.
"Collide!"
Gan Ning waved his sword and shouted loudly, and the huge warship slammed forward like a huge beast.
boom!
The volume of the warship is far larger than that of a small walking boat, and the head collision angle has been specially processed to have a strong impact. When it hits the walking boat, it is like a huge sword is revealed and stabbed hard. .
A long crack appeared on the body of the walking boat that was hit by the scorpion, as if it was "cut" in half by the sword.
"Ah, help!"
The faces of the Jingzhou sailors on the boat changed drastically, and they shouted for help. Although they were southerners and could swim, this was the Yangtze River! You must know that even after thousands of years of development and evolution, the Yangtze River is still vast and vast. In the Three Kingdoms era two thousand years ago, it was unimaginable how huge the Yangtze River water body was.
These days, there are countless mountains, rivers and swamps all over the north, and the climate is very humid. Otherwise, how could the emperor of the north go out hunting?
The fragile walking boat was separated by a long crack by the corner of the collision. After a hard collision, the fragile hull could no longer support it and separated directly. The Jingzhou soldiers on the boat fell into the water one by one, slapping the water hard and shouting for help.
Gan Ning, on the other hand, turned a blind eye and shouted sternly: "The target Huang She's ship, ram it!"
The sailors adjusted their direction and rowed hard, and Gan Ning's ship sternly collided with Huang She's ship.
"Major General, the enemy warship is coming." Huang An reminded hurriedly.
"Turn around and collide with the enemy!"
The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, Huang She was also driven into panic by Gan Ning, and directly ordered the warships to collide. As a result, Huang She's ship also began to move under the movement of the sailors, and collided with Gan Ning's ship.
The two stern warships were like two beasts of land that collided with each other with a loud bang, wrestling with each other as if they were fighting for a mate.
Gan Ning frowned. After all, Huang She's ship was on the opposite side. It was very strong and could not be compared with ordinary walking ships. It was very difficult to smash this warship.
"Get on board!"
A long side plate once again stretched out from Gan Ning's ship, and the iron hooks on the plate hooked the opposite hull.
"Whoever captures Huang She will be promoted to two ranks and rewarded with a hundred gold coins!"
Gan Ning shouted loudly, then brandished two short halberds and charged forward at the lead.
After hearing Gan Ning's words, the Jinfan soldiers behind them all had hot faces. In these years, the treatment in the Xiliang Navy was indeed good. Salaries, grains and rice were all distributed on time, which was much better than before. .
However, military merit is respected in the Xiliang Army. The brave will be promoted and make a fortune, while the timid will get nothing. Over the years, the infantry of the Xiliang Army has been fighting for many years, and countless people have been promoted to noble ranks. However, the navy has been in training and has not fought. , naturally it is difficult to gain military merit and have opportunities for promotion.
Now that the great achievement is right in front of us, who can not be tempted?
