Chapter 1032 The Naval Battle Breaks Out
"kill!"
Jiangdong General Chen Wu fought with a knife, boarded a Xia Jun's boat, and chopped down a dozen Zheng family soldiers on the deck one after another!
The soldiers of the Zheng family raised their swords to attack, but they were all blocked by Chen Wu's shield. Chen Wu slashed with his short knife, and the surrounding soldiers of the Zheng family were killed!
Navy generals have extra force bonuses during sea battles!
Dressed in white, Lu Meng calmly watched the fire arrows pouring between the fleets of both sides. Dozens of ships were burning blazingly, with thick smoke billowing.
The fire was reflected on the surface of the sea, broken planks and barrels were floating on the surface of the sea, and the sailors and soldiers who fell into the water held the planks and barrels to save themselves.
After the two fleets approached, a tragic boarding battle broke out, competing for each other's ships and setting fire to each other's decks.
Lu Meng has the characteristics of "crossing the river in white clothes". At the same time, as one of the four major governors of Jiangdong, his navy's combat power is not weak.
Zheng Zhilong tried his best to block Lu Meng's 500 warships with 200 warships and walkers, buying time for the main force of the Fubo army.
It takes time for more than 2,000 warships to go to sea and line up, especially the cumbersome turtle ships and Dafu ships. Although the cost and combat effectiveness are higher than those of small and medium-sized warships such as 艨艟 and Zouge, it also means that they are not flexible enough.
Zheng Zhilong fought hand-to-hand with the Jiangdong navy soldiers who had climbed onto the warship he was on. He stabbed a navy soldier in the abdomen with a short knife, then pulled it out, and killed him!
"My lord, we are about to be besieged!"
Zheng Zhilong's subordinates shouted.
When Zheng Zhilong was caught in a boarding battle with the Jiangdong navy, Lu Meng commanded two warships of 80 ships each, detoured from left and right, cut off Zheng Zhilong's back, and besieged Zheng Zhilong in the middle!
"The warships and soldiers of the Jiangdong Navy are really extraordinary..."
Zheng Zhilong gritted his teeth and directed the scorpion to attack Lu Meng's encirclement, trying to break Lu Meng's siege.
The soldiers of the Zheng family's navy were not inferior to those of the Soochow navy. They cut off the ropes and attached themselves to the ropes. The soldiers of the Jiangdong navy who tried to board the ship fell into the sea one after another, splashing water.
Zheng Zhilong's resistance was very brave. Under the siege of Lu Meng, only 70 of the 200 warships remained, still rushing left and right among the Jiangdong fleet.
"Gan Ning's Raiders? Get me the vanguard of the Fubo Army!"
Seeing that Lu Meng's siege of the great pirate leader Zheng Zhilong was very difficult, Tongque ordered Gan Ning, who was a surprise soldier, to attack Zheng Zhilong.
Gan Ning's Jinfan thieves were few in number, but their rank was higher? They were good at boarding battles? They fought bravely.
The Jinfan bandits set sail to attack, and Gan Ning forcibly boards a warship!
"Are you going to attack other scorpions? I am enough!"
Gan Ning saw that the Jinfan bandits wanted to help him, but he fought against dozens of people on the warship all by himself!
The warship fluctuates up and down? Swords and swords on the deck? Gan Ning alone kills the entire warship of the warship and kills all the soldiers of the warship!
Blood splashed on the deck, mast, and sails!
Gan Ning is like a god of war on the surface of the water, even a fierce general at the level of the five tiger generals may not be Gan Ning's opponent on the surface of the water!
The Jinfan bandits divided into teams? They captured the warships of Commander Zheng Zhilong one after another? Cleaned them up and took away Zheng Zhilong's warships!
"hateful……"
Zheng Zhilong cut down a soldier of the Soochow Navy again, and the warship beside him was besieged by Lu Meng and Gan Ning.
There are only more than 30 ships left.
Surrounded by warships of the Jiangdong Navy, Zheng Zhilong was besieged on all sides.
Lu Meng is in charge of the overall situation? Gan Ning is in charge of the hand-to-hand combat and cooperates tacitly.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the Jiangdong Navy.
The main force of the Fubo Army moored at Chenjiadao finally went out to sea one after another during Zheng Zhilong's containment of the Jiangdong Navy, formed a battle formation, spread out on the sea, tried to break through the blockade of the Jiangdong Navy, and strived for a chance to counterattack.
This is an extremely difficult test for the six-member navy generals of the Fubo Army. Years, unable to make a comeback.
In history, many empires have managed to build a huge navy, which may go bankrupt at any time due to a naval battle.
More than 2,000 warships of the Fubo Army covered the sea, densely packed, stretching for dozens of miles, endless!
"This is the Fubo Army that Chu Zimou spent tens of millions to build?"
The Bronze Sparrow stood on a huge big blessing boat.
Tongque, which focuses on the development of navy, also has various warships, ranging from walking boats, boats, fighting ships, building ships to blessing ships, all of which are available.
Tongque was sizing up Jiangdong Navy's only opponent.
Chutian invests the most in the cavalry, followed by the navy, so Tongque is using the Jiangdong navy, which has invested the most, to deal with the Fubo army, which is not the most important force in Chutian.
Tongque looked at his left and right arms: "Zhou Yu, is the fire boat ready?"
Zhou Yu replied: "The fire arrows, gunpowder arrows, and fire boats are all ready. As long as you find the right time to release the fire boats, you may be able to wipe out the Fubo army."
"Very good. Annihilating the Fubo Army will make Chu Zimou feel distressed for a while. Once the Fubo Army is wiped out, no one can stop us from attacking Qingzhou."
Tongque blocked all hope in the naval battle on Chenjiadao.
In the naval battle of Chenjiadao, the favorable situation of the Jiangdong Navy is not always encountered.
If you miss this opportunity to annihilate the Chenjiadao Navy, it will not be easy to find another opportunity to fight the Fubo Army.
"what is that!?"
Among the Jiangdong Navy, Chen Wu, Sun En and other naval generals saw the Koryo turtle ship in front of the Fubo Army Navy.
The Koryo turtle ship has a strange shape, like a mysterious turtle.
"It should be the characteristic ship of Koryo - the turtle ship. Chu Zimou recruited Li Sun-shin, a famous water warrior in Koryo, so it is not surprising that he got the blueprint of the turtle ship. Don't be intimidated by the strange shape of the turtle ship." .”
Tongque recognized the reality of the turtle ship at a glance.
Although the Koryo turtle ship is a giant in Koryo country, it is one size smaller than Louchuan and Dafuchuan.
"The fire attack ship is ready!"
Zhou Yu ordered that the ships loaded with hay and kerosene line up.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Jiangdong Navy and Fubo Army all nervously clenched their weapons, waiting for the outbreak of the war.
More than 5,000 warships assembled in the sea near Chenjiadao. So far, almost all the famous water warriors of the Han Empire have participated in this battle.
On the side of the Fubo army, all the warships were waiting for the order to attack from the Dafu ship where Zheng He was.
"Zhou Yu will definitely use a fire attack, and we can't bear his fire attack."
Zheng He knew that Zhou Yu was the general with the highest fire attack bonus in the Han Empire, especially fire attack in water battles.
Therefore, Zheng He must use his own command to make the fleet avoid Zhou Yu's fire attack as much as possible.
Only Zheng He, the navigator, has the chance to create miracles in this unfavorable terrain, because Zheng He can increase the speed of the fleet and reduce the impact of headwinds.
"Let Li Sunshin's turtle boat go to meet Zheng Zhilong."
