Life on the warship was boring, so Liang Chen ran down from the Shaggy Man and came to the Huaxia Ship to chat with Gan Ning.
Even if he was scolded by Gan Ning, and even slapped twice, he couldn't break his thick skin for a long time.
"Yang Chen Daren, do you think this Liaodong Gongsun Du will really tie up his baby son?" Liang Chen on the side and Yang Chen said.
"It shouldn't be!" Yang Chen shook his head. Yang Chen had dealt with Gongsun Du before. Although he knew the current situation, this person was very concerned about his baby son. How could he put righteousness before family?
"That's good, that's good!" Liang Chen patted his chest and said with relief. If that Liaodong Wang Gongsun Du really caught his baby son, then Liang Chen wouldn't be able to play with him. It was always pleasant to have an opponent to train soldiers on the sea.
After waiting for a long time, Gan Ning closed his eyes and didn't talk to Liang Chen. Out of sight, out of mind. Yang Chen has been looking at Liaodong Gang over there, he didn't know what he was thinking. Liang Chen was bored to death, so he simply lay there alone and closed his eyes to rest.
"Yang Chen Daren, when do you think Liaodong will reply?" Gan Ning couldn't wait because he was eager to let his monarch-level warship, the Huaxia Ship, have a good fight.
"I don't know!" Yang Chen shook his head. There were still two or three hours in a day. Yang Chen borrowed a telescope from Gan Ning and looked at the sea.
"Do you want us to send a messenger to ask?" Liang Chen came again.
"No need!" Yang Chen suddenly said, "They have already given us a reply!" He said and returned the telescope to Gan Ning on the side.
"En?" Gan Ning picked up the telescope and looked at the sea over there. On the sea level, a warship took the lead, and a series of warships emerged behind it. The flag above was An and Liaodong's son.
"Liaodong's An Yixuan? "Gan Ning has paid attention to the navy generals in Liaodong. It should be said that as long as it was a famous navy general in the world, Gan Ning would pay attention to him. After all, they are in the same profession and in the same profession are enemies.
"This Liaodong is ready to fight with us!" Gan Ning said to everyone. Liaodong's fleet was getting closer and closer. Gan Ning suddenly remembered that Liang Chen was still on the warship. He immediately scolded Liang Chen, "Liang Chen, you f * cking bastard! Are you waiting for me to slap you! " Gan Ning was about to turn around and slap him, but he missed. The spot where Liang Chen was standing was empty.
"General, General, General Liang Chen has already left!" Gan Ning leaned over and saw a human head waving at him. Liang Chen had already jumped into the sea and swam towards Gan Ning's battleship the moment he saw the Liaodong Battleship.
"Sooner or later, you stinking brat will drown!" Gan Ning cursed twice, but he was still very worried about Liang Chen. He looked at Liang Chen's warship and after Liang Chen was pulled up, he was relieved.
"Yang Chen Daren, please enter the cabin!" Gan Ning said to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen nodded because he knew that the battle would start soon. It would be dangerous to stay on the deck. He could only go to the bridge.
"Pass my order, raise the main battle flag, raise the sails, and take the left rudder. We will seize the T position!" Gan Ning said according to the book. Standing in the Yangtze River was not feasible, but there were many similarities. If he didn't make the deal with Liaodong, Gan Ning would definitely not be An Yixuan's opponent. This was because An Yixuan had been fighting naval battles. But now it was different. After the deal with Liaodong, Gan Ning began to find the knack of fighting in the sea. In addition, he also read a lot of books about naval battles from Liu Mang. Now, An Yixuan was just right for him to train his troops.
"Yes!" Soon the sails fluttered, and the three main warships began to change their positions.
It was like three ducks protecting dozens of ducklings.
"What a big warship!" After Gan Ning and the others found An Yixuan, An Yixuan also saw Gan Ning's fleet over there.
Although An Yixuan had learned from Gongsun Kang that the Yangzhou Navy had three main warships, which were very large, after seeing it with his own eyes, An Yixuan still took a breath of cold air.
However, his face was immediately filled with excitement. An Yixuan had never seen such a large warship in his life. If he could win against the Yangzhou navy, then he would definitely capture the three warships. Once he captured one of the three warships, it would become his flagship. Thinking of this, An Yixuan's face became redder.
"Pass my order, raise the flag of surrender, let the other side surrender!" An Yixuan had more than a hundred warships in his hands, and the enemy only had three main warships. Ants could bite an elephant to death. Therefore, An Yixuan was very confident that he could win. Letting his men raise the flag of surrender, he wanted to subdue the enemy without fighting.
"Yes!" Soon, the flag of surrender began to be raised from An Yixuan's flagship. More than a hundred warships seemed to be laughing at the Yangzhou Navy, and also raised the flag of surrender.
"Surrender?" Yang Chen froze for a moment. Was the Liaodong Navy ready to surrender directly?
"Yang Chen Daren, this is not them surrendering to us, they are asking us to surrender!" Gan Ning explained to Yang Chen with a wry smile. Being looked down upon was simply unbearable.
Over there, Liang Chen, the hot-tempered two-faced, immediately raised the flag and wanted to fight.
"Let Liang Chen stay well, without my order, he is not allowed to act without my orders!" Gan Ning said to the signal hand over there. He still had the landing force behind him, he couldn't play around.
Soon, Gan Ning and the others occupied the T-shaped position. "Raise the hull horizontally, think about the direction of Liaodong Port!" Gan Ning ordered to his men.
"Liaodong Port?" Yang Chen on the side didn't understand, why did they have to approach Liaodong Port?
"That An Yixuan looks down on my Yangzhou Navy so much, then I will make him famous! "Gan Ning is also a person with a temper, you, An Yixuan, didn't give us face and ridiculed us, so good, I will let you make a good fool of yourself.
"Troop transport ships, follow closely behind the warships!" Gan Ning said to everyone.
"Three warships!" An Yixuan was worthy of being a veteran Navy general, he didn't look down on the enemy just because there were only three warships. "Pass my order, first take the enemy's troop transport ships, then surround the three warships!"
"Yes!" An Yixuan had 30 fast warships in his hands, they directly passed the fleet and headed towards the transport ships.
"General, they want to take our troop transport ships!" The lookout on the side reported to Gan Ning.
Gan Ning picked up the binoculars, sure enough, there were more than 30 small warships flying quickly, they left the main force and headed towards Gan Ning.
"General, the artillery commander asked if we should fire!" On each deck, there was an artillery commander, the artillery commander was responsible for directing the firepower output of their deck.
"Without my order, don't fire!" Gan Ning waved his hand and said to the people under him.
"Yes!" The soldier's duty was to obey.
"General Gan Ning, do you want to let them pass?" Yang Chen frowned and asked.
If the Sovereign class warships didn't fire, then they would naturally let the enemy's 30 fast warships pass through. Their target was the troop transport ships behind them. If they were to sink the troop transport ships, then it would be a big joke for the enemy.
"Sink the troop transport ships? Oh, it should be the other way around! "The officer on the side replied to Yang Chen with a smile.
"En?" Yang Chen didn't understand, but he soon knew why the Navy officer was smiling.
"Good!" An Yixuan's deputy general looked at the 30 fast warships on his side directly passed the three giant warships and smoothly went towards the troop transport ships over there. He couldn't help but shout.
"General, this overall situation is set. As long as we take down the troop transport ships of the Yangzhou army and sink them, it will be a great merit! General is very brave! " The Deputy General flattered An Yixuan. If the Deputy General received benefits, he would naturally receive benefits as well. They had sunk the enemy's battleship, and it was a troop transport ship filled with the enemy's foot soldiers. The enemy was finished before they could even land. This was a great achievement.
"Maybe!" An Yixuan didn't think so, because his brows were obviously wrinkled. His heart was uneasy, because it was too smooth, so smooth that An Yixuan felt that it was inconceivable. The three main warships didn't even stop them? What was the Yangzhou navy thinking? Was their general an idiot?
If he was an idiot, he was afraid that he would have been buried in the sea. How could he bring this fleet to Liaodong?
If he wasn't an idiot, then there was only one possibility, they did it on purpose!
An Yixuan's eyes widened as he looked at the 30 fast warships over there. "Not good!" An Yixuan was anxious, "Send the flag, let them come back!" “
"General? Come back? Why? " The deputy general on the side didn't understand, it was hard to rush over, and seeing that they were about to take down the unarmed troop transport ships, now they want them to come back.
"There is no time to explain to you, quickly, send the flag!" An Yixuan anxiously shouted to the deputy general on the side.
"Yes! Send the flag, let General Gongsun come back! " The flag bearer quickly sent the flag out, but whether the fast warships over there could see it was another matter.
"Haha, hurry up, hurry up, we will be there soon, hahaha, this credit is ours!" The commander of the 30 battleships was a Han man. His surname was Gongsun, and he was Gongsun Du's nephew. Naturally, Gongsun Du's relationship with Gongsun Du was quite distant. But because of this relationship, Gongsun Du was able to become the commander of the 30 battleships.
Gongsun Yu looked at the approaching troop transport ships and felt a great happiness. Their fast warships relied on speed, so their firepower couldn't be compared to ordinary warships. They could only bully the troop transport ships, and they liked to bully the troop transport ships the most. As long as they got close to the troop transport ships and saw the only ballista on the fast warships, then it was enough to take down the troop transport ship. The biggest weapon on the troop transport ship was some bows and arrows, and those things were like tickles to the warships.
Originally, when the fast warships were rushing in, they had to worry about whether the enemy would stop them. If they were stopped, then the fast warships would lose a lot of money, but once they broke in, they would gain a lot. But today, the Yangzhou navy commander didn't know whether he was stupid or not, he actually let them break in, and there was no resistance at all.
Isn't this God's blessing for me, Gongsun Yu? "
"General, General An sent a flag behind us, he wants us to retreat!" Just as Gongsun Yu was drooling over the approaching Yangzhou Navy's troop transport ships, the lookout suddenly sent a message.
"Retreat? Are you sure you didn't misread the flag? " Gongsun Yu was stunned for a moment and asked the flag bearer next to him.
"I definitely didn't misread it. If I was the only one who misread it, the other brothers would also send a flag to you, General Xun!" Only then did Gongsun Yu see that the other 30 plus fast warships had also raised their flags and asked Gongsun Yu if they should retreat.
"Are you stupid? Retreat at this time?" Gongsun Yu said subconsciously.
"General, General An has fought a lot of naval battles. If he wants to retreat, why don't we retreat? He won't let us go unwillingly!" The deputy on the side dissuaded Gongsun Yu.
Gongsun Yu also hesitated, but when he raised his head and looked at the Yangzhou Navy troop transport ships, he was suddenly fascinated by greed.
"This is all merit!" If we take down these troop transport ships, as long as we send them to the sea to feed the sharks, then An Yixuan's position might not be stable. It must be so, that's why An Yixuan wants me to go back! No, I definitely can't go back! " Blinded by greed, Gongsun Yu began to suspect that General An Yixuan was jealous of his merit.
"No, I won't go. Even if I go, I will send these troop transport ships to the bottom of the sea! Brothers, we won't go! "
"We won't go, we won't go!" Not only Gongsun Yu didn't want to go, but the other fast warships also didn't want to go. It wasn't easy to break through to the troop transport ships. Seeing that the merit was about to be in their hands, how could they leave now? Wasn't it a joke?
"Okay, then we will rush up and tear them apart. After sending them to the sea, we will go back! Pass down my order, everyone advance and tear them apart! "Gongsun Yu shouted loudly.
"Kill, kill, kill, tear them apart!" These small fast warships raised their sails and rushed towards the Yangzhou Navy's troop transport ships like hungry wolves pouncing on tigers.
"Haha!" The people on the Yangzhou Navy's troop transport ships were not as panicked as Gongsun Yu wanted to see, nor were they begging for mercy everywhere they went as Gongsun Yu expected.
Instead, these troop transport ships didn't have the slightest bit of panic. Even the Yangzhou Navy troops on the deck were pointing at them.
"Not going to deal with Gan Ning's warships, but coming to deal with us? Do you think we are easy to bully? "An angry young general said angrily.
"General, if it was me, I wouldn't go looking for General Gan's warships! Isn't this courting death? "The deputy general on the side said to the young general.
"Hmph, King class!" Although the young general said disdainfully, in fact, he was very envious. When would he, Ling Chao, also have such a warship?
Ever since he conquered Yangzhou, Ling Chao knew what a real navy was. In Ling Chao's eyes, the previous navy was just playing house. Even Zhuge Liang's iron chain was nothing in Ling Chao's eyes. This was because Ling Chao had seen the sea. Ling Chao didn't think much of it.
Ling Chao was now a member of the Navy. His subordinates were the Marine Corps assigned to the Navy by His Highness the King Of Shu. Originally, Ling Chao was very proud, but when he saw the King class, he laughed.
"General, I heard that the docks in Jiangdong are also creating King class!" The deputy general on the side said to Ling Chao.
"Where did you hear this from?" Ling Chao asked the deputy general. Because Ling Chao was newly subdued, he didn't talk very well with the original Navy. It could even be said that unless it was a big meeting, Ling Chao would not go out of his own camp.
"Do you still need to know? Everyone in the Navy has heard about it!" The deputy general said to Ling Chao. Liu Mang's warship plans for the Navy were all open to the public. King class warships, that is, the current first-level warships, there were eight of them. Six of them were built in the docks of Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and two of them were built by the captains of Jiangdong. However, these things took a long time to build, so until now, only three of them had been delivered. The remaining five were still in the docks.
"General, do you think we'll get a share of the remaining five ships if they all enter the water?" The deputy general asked with a longing look on his face.
"Don't dream! We are the Marine Corps, not the Marines. We are only landing infantry, not controlling warships! " A thousand-man general said to the deputy general.
"We can choose to be transferred. I believe that with our general's talent, he will certainly be able to become a captain of a King class warship!"
Ling Chao also had a very good idea. Becoming a captain of a King class warship? Ling Chao looked at the huge warship over there and could not help but be stunned.
However, he quickly recovered because there was a lieutenant general on the other side who reminded him. "General, the fast warships of the Liaodong Navy are approaching us! What should we do! "The various transport ships raised their flags and asked Ling Chao.
"What should we do? Haha, do I still need to teach them? Are the people on their ships useless? Cao Cao, kill them! "Ling Chao had a hot temper. He was being bullied by a group of fast warships.
"Yes!" Soon, the flag signals were raised one by one.
"Look at their flag signal. Did you piss your pants when you saw us? Are you ready to surrender? "Gongsun Yu said to his deputy in a cheerful manner.
"Of course, with General Gongsun's ability, the enemy will surrender. The enemy will surrender at the sight of us! " The deputy general also laughed and looked at the flag signal of the enemy's transport ships. He was stunned for a moment. "General, they, they are actually raising the flag signal of battle!" “
"They are not surrendering?" Gongsun Yu was also stunned. If they wanted to surrender, he would have thought that even if the Yangzhou Navy raised the flag of surrender, he would still sink them. But he didn't expect that the Yangzhou Navy would raise the flag of war. Is this a joke? Relying on these unarmed transport ships?
Gongsun Yu was very disdainful. There were even people on the ships who laughed, but soon they could not laugh anymore.
"Pass down my order, sink two ships first. Let them see who is the meat on the chopping block!" Gongsun Yu laughed and said.
"Yes!" Xuan Shang replied.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Countless ballistae were thrown out.
"Boom!" Two warships were directly sunk into the sea and floated up and down.
"How is it? Raise the flag signal and ask the Yangzhou Navy's transport ships whether they surrender or not! "Gongsun Yu closed his eyes. He listened to the sound of the sinking warships with satisfaction.
However, he did not get a response from the deputy general for a long time. Gongsun Yu was a little annoyed.
"General, General!" The deputy general's trembling voice came.
"What's wrong? Are the transport ships afraid? "Gongsun Yu asked.
"No, no. No, you. You. Look! "The deputy general patted Gongsun Yu, hoping to pull Gongsun Yu out of his pretentious state.
"Hmm?" Gongsun Yu frowned when he heard the deputy general's words. Did they not sink the transport ships just now?
When Gongsun Yu turned his head and saw the scene before him, he was dumbfounded. The ballistae were indeed fired, the warship had indeed sunk, and the crew members were still struggling on the surface of the sea.
However, no matter how Gongsun Yu looked at it, he felt that the people struggling were his own men and the sinking ships were his own warships.
When Gongsun Yu raised his head, he was in a bad mood. His scalp was numb.
On the transport ships, there were sharp points that were emitting cold light. As a navy general, Gongsun Yu knew that it was the reflection of the ballistae's arrows under the sun.
There were at least 20 of them on each ship. In other words, there were more than 20 ballistae in each transport ship. His entire fleet only had 30 ballistae.
How was he going to play this game? How could it be like this? Where were the transport ships? Where were the unarmed and defenseless people? How did a delicate little girl suddenly become a burly man? This burly man liked chrysanthemums.
"Hai!" The Yangzhou Navy's transport ship and Gongsun Yu's fast warship were getting closer and closer. They could almost see each other's faces. Gongsun Yu saw a person wearing a general's armor waving at him. As he waved his arm, countless arrows flew towards him.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Gongsun Yu's eyes widened. He looked at his chest and touched it. He wanted to move, but it wasn't because he didn't have the strength. It was because he couldn't move. A ballista arrow pierced through his chest and killed him on the warship.
The command ship of the fast warships was blown to pieces. When the other fast warships saw that the situation wasn't good, they immediately scattered and fled. However, how could the originally delicate transport ships let them escape? Countless ballista bolts flew out, and in the end, only two ships managed to escape. One of them even fell apart halfway.
"Hmph! What the hell! " Ling Chao was still coldly snorting. Although the Yangzhou navy only had three main warships and the rest were transport ships, if one knew the origin of the transport ships, then the Commander of the Liaodong navy, An Yixuan, would never have sent out the fast warships. Their origin was the Yangzhou navy's Garen ships in the Yangtze River valley. They were the main warships that defeated the Jingzhou navy and the Jiangdong navy.
However, now that Yangzhou had a monarch, they didn't care about these small ships. But they couldn't be wasted. In the beginning, Yangzhou had made a lot of these ships. In addition to the navy in Jiangxia, the rest were modified by the Yangzhou navy. They were either used as merchant ships or as transport ships.
Naturally, the ballistae were dismantled for merchant ships. However, only half of the transport ships were dismantled. Even if half of the transport ships were dismantled, there were still dozens of ballistae on each warship.
The Liaodong navy's fast warships only had one ballista on each warship. Wasn't this like hitting a dog with a meat bun?
"This, this, this!" Yang Chen looked at the transport ships and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He knew why Gan Ning let these fast warships go back. He was not afraid at all. Gan Ning was not afraid at all.
Moreover, Ling Chao was relatively cheap. At the beginning, he took advantage of the Liaodong navy's fast warships and put on a weak posture.
"General Gongsun is finished?" On the flagship of the Liaodong Navy, the deputy general couldn't believe his eyes. He rubbed his eyes again and again, but the truth was right in front of him. The valiant fleet of fast warships was finished in an instant. Was this a joke?
An Yixuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He stood up and looked at the huge warships. "Gan Ning, you really deserve your reputation!" Although An Yixuan had more than 100 warships, losing 30 at once was very distressing.
As long as the Yangzhou navy's transport ships were equipped with ballistae, An Yixuan was not idle. He was counting the ships. Now, the Yangzhou navy's combat power was three giant warships. Their combat power was unknown. There were 12 transport ships that could throw ballistae. Altogether, there were 15 warships.
In addition to the 30 fast warships that were lost, An Yixuan still had 40 main warships, plus more than 100 stormboats, turtle boats, and turret boats. This battle could still be fought!
"Gan Ning, Gan Xingba, there can only be one overlord in this sea. If you don't die, then I die!" An Yixuan's eyes stared at the Sovereign Class Warship Huaxia over there.
Gan Ning on the Huaxia ship also seemed to be affected. "An Yixuan? Good, good! "
