It had to be said that Ling Chao was very good at leading troops. Out of a total of six thousand Marines, half of them were willing to defy military orders with Ling Chao. The other half listened to Gan Ning's words and stayed where they were.
Ling Chao didn't care whether it was half or not. In his opinion, his troops were just a bunch of clowns from Liaodong. How dare they stop him? What a joke. If you want to compete with clowns, I am your ancestor.
"General, look over there!" On An Yixuan's warship, An Yixuan was puzzled. Why didn't Gan Ning do anything? Even the other warship broke away from the formation and headed towards the other side of the strait.
Now that his subordinate was pointing at the place, he saw that behind the huge warship, there were many small ships.
The huge warship was like a mother duck protecting her cubs.
"Clash? Those troop carriers? "An Yixuan was stunned. Weren't those small boats trying to clash with his turtle ship?
"Haha, haha!" The deputy general laughed. "It seems that they don't know the power of the turtle ship!"
"Is that so?" An Yixuan was overly cautious. He frowned as he looked at the enemy's troop carriers. Was this also Gan Ning's plan? Showing weakness to the enemy?
Soon, the fleets of both sides met.
"Prepare the ballistae!" Ling Chao didn't care about those ugly so-called turtle ships. In his opinion, these broken ships were not only ugly but also slow. They were just targets.
"Prepare the ballistae on the first deck. Prepare the ballistae on the second deck!"
"Shoot!" When they were within range of the ballistae, Ling Chao gave the order.
Soon, a rain of arrows covered the sky and covered the earth as they flew towards the turtle ships.
"Ahhh!" There was a blood-curdling scream. A warship was shot into a hornet's nest and quickly sank into the sea. Sailors who had fallen into the water were everywhere.
However, Ling Chao couldn't laugh because the Liaodong Navy's troop transport ship was too fast. Because he was too close, he couldn't let the turtle ship help him resist the arrow rain. The ship was shot down by Ling Chao's people. However, the other Liaodong Navy's troop transport ships were still in place. They seemed to be laughing at Ling Chao. Ling Chao's troop transport ship was too fast.
The tortoise ships were indeed hit by the ballista's arrows, but none of them sank. Ling Chao could see that some of the ballista's arrows had penetrated the bottom of the ship, but the ship was still standing firmly on the sea.
"So sturdy?" Liang Chen was also stunned. Yangzhou's ballistae were famous far and wide. It was because of these ballistae that the ships were forced to withdraw from the battle. However, the ballistae that were unstoppable on the Yangtze River actually suffered a setback in front of this ugly turtle ship. As expected of a tortoise ship, a tortoise shell!
"Captain, does Ling Chao want to fight head-on?" The chief officer on the side looked at Liang Chen and said.
Ling Chao's face was gloomy. "Prepare to collide!" Ling Chao held onto the fixed chair on the bridge.
"Yes!" Soon, Ling Chao's subordinates changed the direction of the warship and headed towards the Liaodong Navy's turtle ship.
"Even if you are a tortoise shell, I will pry it open!" Ling Chao was ready to fight head-on.
More than a dozen warships directly formed a swallowtail and headed towards the turtle ship.
"Collide with the turtle ship? Haha! " An Yixuan finally calmed down. Although he didn't understand why Gan Ning was so stupid, An Yixuan didn't want to give him credit.
"Haha, you defeated more than 30 of our fast warships. It's time to repay us!" The deputy on the side also laughed. The turtle ship's strongest point wasn't its tortoise shell ability to protect its allies, but its collision ability. The entire warship was formed in one body. In order to show its amazing defensive power and collision ability, it was covered with iron sheet armor. It was the least afraid of collision.
"Enemy ahead, prepare to collide!" The messenger on Ling Chao's warship shouted loudly.
The Galen Arrows in Ling Chao's hands all had rams. Lu Xun had used them to almost break out of the Iron Chain River when they were on the Yangtze River.
Therefore, Ling Chao naturally had a lot of confidence in the Galun warship.
"Hold it well, hold it well!" On the other side, Ling Chao's fleet was roaring loudly. Collision was a competition of who was sturdier and who was more durable. The impact of the collision was very big. If you don't handle it well, you might be thrown out of the warship and fed to the sharks.
"Boom!" Ling Chao felt the entire hull shaking. If he didn't hold it tightly, he wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
"After sinking the enemy's warship, go past them and find the ship behind them. Prepare to jump!" Ling Chao issued an order to his subordinates. This time, he will definitely teach the Liaodong Navy a lesson.
"General, General, our ship is flooded, it's flooded!" Someone yelled.
"What!" Ling Chao's eyes widened. He saw many people running up from the bottom of the deck. They were all shouting loudly that the ship was flooding.
"General, those turtle ships!" Someone pointed at the turtle ships above the sea and screamed.
Ling Chao saw that the Turtle Ship Saint had raised the sails and was retreating. His collision horn was slowly being pulled out of the Galun warship.
The collision horn of the Galun warship was also inserted into the body of the turtle ship. But the turtle ship didn't seem to have any problem. After the collision horn was pulled out, it was once again inserted into the body of the Galun arrow.
"General, we can't hold on any longer. The ship is sinking!" A deputy general reminded Ling Chao. Obviously, the Yangzhou Navy's Galun warship was not the opponent of the Liaodong Navy's turtle ships.
"This turtle shell is so powerful?" The three Sovereign class warships were watching the battle between the Galun warship and the turtle ships.
They didn't expect that the Galun warship was not the opponent of the Liaodong Navy. Gan Ning and Liang Chen wiped off their cold sweat at the same time. Fortunately, their lord had changed the Sovereign class warship for them. Otherwise, they would have been defeated by the Liaodong Navy.
In fact, the Liaodong Navy had always been using the sea as their battlefield, but they were fighting in the Inner Flow River. The Inner Flow River and the sea were like playing house.
The Liaodong Navy was not established in a year or two. An Yixuan was the former Commander of the Fuyu Navy. Fuyu Navy and Goguryeo, as well as other small countries, had many battles in the sea. This Hundred Sick City was a good doctor. The Liaodong Navy had been fighting for so many years, naturally, they had their own methods. This turtle ship was one of them.
"Haha, pass down the order, let those turtle ships send the Yangzhou Navy into the sea!" The deputy said proudly. Although the Yangzhou Navy had more than a dozen warships, there were a lot of people on them. Sending them to the bottom of the sea would naturally increase the morale of the Liaodong Navy. At the same time, it would also give him some merit.
"No!" An Yixuan stopped the deputy. It was good to send the Yangzhou Navy into the sea with the turtle ships, but An Yixuan had his eyes on the Galun warships. The ballistae on the Galun warships were good things. If he could obtain them, then the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Navy would be increased by at least one level.
"Pass down the order, let the warships at the back come forward. I want to capture those Yangzhou Navy warships!" An Yixuan said to the deputy on the side.
"General, you are far-sighted!" The deputy flattered. Soon, the warships received the order and surrounded Ling Chao's warship.
"Motherfucker!" Ling Chao's eyes turned red. He can see that the Liaodong Navy wanted to capture them. Their warship was already flooded with water. It was already good that they could stay afloat. If they were hit by the ships again, then they would be done for. However, the ships were clearly letting them go. This wasn't out of kindness, it was clear that they wanted to capture them. "Brothers, a warrior can be killed, but not humiliated. Do you want to be captured by these Liaodong women?" Ling Chao's eyes turned red, he could see that the Liaodong Navy wanted to capture them.
"I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to!" Ling Chao's subordinates shouted.
"Good, then we will fight with them! Brothers, kill them, we will burn their warships! " Ling Chao wanted to fight with his life on the line. Everyone would die together. If you want to get close to me, then I will burn the warships and die together with you.
"General, General Gan Ning sent a flag. He wants you to go and cover General Ling Chao's retreat!" On the Husky, Liang Chen was watching a good show. He couldn't wait for Ling Chao to sacrifice himself for his country. That way, Ling Chao would die, Liang Chen would be happy, and Gan Ning would be relieved. Why not?
However, Gan Ning still sent a flag. He seemed to know that Liang Chen would drag his feet, so he added a sentence, "Execute immediately or you will be punished by military law."
Liang Chen could only pout. That was the only thing he could do. He impatiently ordered his men, "Pass down my order, no, it should be General Gan's order. Go and rescue Ling Chao! Bah! "
Liang Chen was very unhappy. The Burly Man slowly moved in the direction of Ling Chao and the turtle ships. It directly intervened in the battle, like an adult suddenly joining a fight between children.
"En?" An Yixuan frowned. This giant warship unexpectedly intervened, it made him a little uncomfortable. At this time, he was supposed to receive the goods, but he was interrupted.
"General, we don't need these small boats. Since this big ship is here, then we will kindly accept it!" Said the deputy general. He was very confident because his turtle ships were nearby. As long as he gave the order, no matter how slow the turtle ships were, they would be able to surround you. The turtle ships had amazing defensive power. Once they were surrounded by his turtle ship fishing net, no matter how big your warship was, you would have a grievance.
"En!" An Yixuan nodded. Originally, An Yixuan was thinking about how to make these three huge warships stay. If these three warships ran away without thinking, An Yixuan wouldn't be able to do anything to them. However, he didn't expect that one of the three warships would head straight for the turtle ship. Wasn't this sending themselves to their doorstep? "Pass down the order. Have them jump off the ship and avoid them! Since you are here, don't leave. Leave this giant warship behind! " An Yixuan had been drooling over the three giant warships for a long time. If he could become the captain of such a warship, how glorious would that be?
Seeing that it was about to become his own warship, An Yixuan couldn't help but be excited.
"General, look, look! Our warship, our Burly Man is coming to save us! " Ling Chao was about to die in the sea of Liaodong. The other officers and soldiers also looked at death calmly. Suddenly, happiness came. The Burly Man that was originally cruising on the side suddenly raised its sails and directly entered the battlefield.
This was an ally's warship. It couldn't be malicious, so it could only come to help them.
Just now, they were looking at death calmly. Now that they didn't have to die, the feeling of escaping from death was very good.
"Hmph!" Ling Chao also saw the Burly Man and couldn't help but snort. His face was still red. It was a look of shame. Because he didn't listen to Gan Ning's words, it led to the current situation. If he had listened to Gan Ning earlier, he wouldn't have become like this.
"Save us? I'm afraid that you can't even save yourself!" Although Ling Chao's words were very unpleasant to hear, his eyes were filled with concern and worry. This was because he saw that the ship had turned around and was heading towards the Burly Man. It was obvious that they wanted to capture the Burly Man. ,
"We can't let the enemy succeed!" Ling Chao knew how important this warship was to Yangzhou. The cost of each warship was hundreds of thousands of gold. Once it was captured, not only would it be a shame for Yangzhou, it would also be a great loss.
Ling Chao knew who the Captain of the Burly Man was, it was Liang Chen. This guy had always been at odds with Ling Chao. If it wasn't for Gan Ning, the two of them would have already fought. Liang Chao wanted Ling Chao to die as soon as possible, so it was impossible for Liang Chen to sacrifice himself to save Ling Chao. Then there was only one possibility. Obviously, this Burly Man was ordered by Gan Ning to save Ling Chao. Ling Chao didn't want to owe anyone anything, especially that guy.
Ling Chao gritted his teeth and said, "Pass my order, set the warship on fire!"
"General?" The people on the side were dumbfounded. What kind of order was this? If it was just a moment ago, they wouldn't have anything to say. This was because they knew that they had no way out. Instead of being humiliated to death, it was better to go all out and drag someone down with them.
But now that they had a chance to live, why would the general issue such an order?
"Do you want the Burly Man to die with us?" Ling Chao's eyes were red as he looked at the people around him and said in a low voice.
"Look at those turtle ships!" Ling Chao pointed at the direction of the ship.
Everyone saw that the turtle ships had given up on them and were heading towards the Burly Man. They knew how disgusting this turtle ship was, it was very sturdy. Once you were trapped inside, you wouldn't be able to get out.
Now that these turtle ships had given up on them and were heading towards the Burly Man, it was obvious that they wanted to trap the Burly Man in the sea.
"General, what should we do now?" This time, the Yangzhou Great Han Navy panicked. They didn't just harm themselves, they also harmed their allies. Once the Burly Man was surrounded, they would be the sinners of the Great Han Navy.
"What else can we do? Pass my order, even if we die, we won't become a burden. Burn the warship! "Ling Chao shouted to his subordinates.
Some people were silent because no one wanted to die. Seeing the hope of survival in front of them, how could they want to die?
"What! Didn't you hear what I said? You are all cowards. Are you afraid of death? "Ling Chao shouted at his subordinates.
"General, we are not cowards. We are not afraid of death. If we were afraid of death, we wouldn't have joined the army!" A general roared in dissatisfaction. As the saying went, a good man would not be a soldier, and a good iron would not be hammered nails. If one was doing well, who would be willing to be a soldier if they could earn a living? Once they became a soldier, they would be putting Zijing's head on their crotch, and could be taken by the enemy at any time.
"Haha!" Ling Chao sneered.
"General, we're not afraid of death. We're just afraid that we'll die a miserable death!" One of the generals shouted.
Ling Chao was also speechless. He had died in such a cowardly manner. All of this was caused by him, Ling Chao. The self-blame in his heart was deeply imprinted in his heart.
"No, we won't die for nothing. If we live and let the Husky Man be captured, then we will die for nothing. If we die, then the Husky Man doesn't need to save us. Only when we die can they live!" Pass down my order. Prepare to burn the ships! "Ling Chao shouted. Soon, someone stood up.
"Burn the ships! Burn the ships!" Voices rose one after another. Soon, the first warship was set on fire.
"Hehe!" Liang Chen could not help but be amused when he saw the tortoise ship surging towards him. It wanted to swallow him in one gulp. Wasn't it afraid of choking to death? "Do you really think you're a tortoise? Do you really think I can't break your tortoise shell? Your father is different from that trash Ling. Just you wait, Father will feed you some iron lumps! Pass down my order. Open the gates! "Liang Chen was about to order the Burly Man to head towards the tortoise ships.
"General, look over there!" The chief officer shouted at Liang Chen from the side.
Liang Chen looked towards the direction where the chief officer was pointing. The place where Liang Chen was ordered to save was already on fire. One warship and two warships were on fire.
Those were the warships of the Yangzhou Navy. There were no other enemy ships nearby. There was only one possibility for them to be able to set the warships on fire.
Liang Chen seemed to have thought of something. His expression softened a lot. The resentment towards saving Ling Chao also dissipated a lot. "At least Ling Chao is still a person!" Liang Chen had a good impression of Ling Chao.
"General, do you want us to raise the flag and ask them to stop burning?" The chief officer asked.
"No need!" Liang Chen was not that kind-hearted. It was good that he set himself on fire. It would be best if he set Ling Chao on fire and turned him into a braised tortoise. Then, he would fall into the sea and feed the sharks.
"Is the Yangzhou Navy reaping what they sowed when they saw that they couldn't escape?" An Yixuan's vice general looked at the smoking Ling Chao's fleet and sneered. Originally, he was very distressed. However, when he thought about the huge warship in his hands, he naturally wasn't interested in those mosquitoes.
An Yixuan shook his head at the vice general's ridicule. "There are really some men in the Yangzhou Navy!" An Yixuan stood up and looked at the burning Ling Chao's fleet. This was self-immolation. Of course, it wasn't suicide out of despair. It was a reminder to the Burly Man that they shouldn't save them. They were self-immolating.
"Unfortunately, it's too late!" An Yixuan shook his head and sighed. The turtle ship was already close to the huge warship. The fishing net had already spread out. The huge warship couldn't escape even if it wanted to.
"General, the Burly Man is still coming towards us!" Someone beside Ling Chao reminded him.
"What!" Ling Chao picked up the binoculars and saw that the Burly Man was still coming towards them. "What is that trash Liang Chen doing?" Ling Chao called Liang Chen trash, and Liang Chen also called Ling Chao trash. These two people were born to be enemies.
"Does he know that everyone will die if he does this?" Ling Chao said angrily.
"General, the turtle ship is less than two kilometers away from our Burly Man!" On the observation deck above, Chuan shouted to Liang Chen with his hand.
"Two kilometers? Hehe, it's still early! I'll take a nap first. Wake me up when it's one kilometer away! " Liang Chen said as he stretched and yawned.
"Yes!" A kilometer away on the sea with a sail was not slower than riding a horse on land. Soon, someone came back. "General, the local warship is less than one kilometer away!"
"Oh, nearly one kilometer away?" Although Liang Chen got up from the chair, his eyes were still closed. "Look again!"
"General, less than eight hundred meters away!"
"General, less than seven hundred meters away!"
"General, less than six hundred meters away!"
"General, less than five hundred meters away!"
"General, all the deck cannoneers are asking you if you want to fire!" Five hundred meters could be said to be a very good shooting range. Even the ballista could shoot seven hundred steps away. Five hundred meters, a good cannoneers could shoot accurately.
"What's the hurry! Look again! "Liang Chen yawned and opened his eyes.
"General, less than four hundred meters away!"
"Three hundred meters!"
"Two hundred meters!"
"Haha, great matter is done, great matter is done. Congratulations, General. That giant warship will be replaced with the flag of Liaodong. It will be yours. After this achievement, the governor will reward you greatly. Promotion and wealth are just around the corner!" On An Yixuan's warship, the deputy general congratulated An Yixuan. It was already two hundred meters away. The Yangzhou Navy's giant warship could not escape even if it wanted to. It was like a turtle in a jar. That was why the deputy general was so arrogant.
However, An Yixuan did not know why he always felt uneasy in his heart. But looking at the turtle ship approaching the Yangzhou Navy's giant warship, he still smiled. "All of this cannot be done without the help of all the generals. Without the assistance of all the generals, this An Yixuan could not have such achievements. As long as you have this An Yixuan's contribution, you will not be left out!"
"Haha, haha!" Who would not like to have contributions?
"It's over, it's over!" Ling Chao was stunned. It was him. He was the one who caused the death of the Navy's warship. He was the one who disobeyed the military order. Even the Big Man was finished.
"Wa La Wa La!" Liang Chen's Big Man was surrounded by the turtle ships. There were still people coming out from the turtle ships. As they approached the Big Man, they started chattering. There were Han people on the turtle ships. Similarly, there was also a Goguryeon and a Buyeo. All of them were shouting arrogantly.
It was a pity that these words were not taken seriously.
"What are they talking about?" Liang Chen did not even bother to ask.
"General, those turtle ships actually raised the flag of surrender!" The deputy general shouted to Liang Chen. It was obvious that he wanted Liang Chen to surrender.
"Change the sails. We will retreat!" Liang Chen said to the deputy general.
"Yes, sir!" Soon, the Burly Man began to slowly retreat.
"No surrender. You want to run? Pass down the military order. Let the jump ships prepare to jump. We want to take over this warship! "An Yixuan's deputy general gave the order.
Soon, those who jumped off the ship began to head towards the Burly Man.
"Why hasn't Gan Ning acted yet?" An Yixuan frowned in his heart. Logically speaking, a main warship was about to be captured. At this time, Gan Ning should be anxious and send out all his warships to rescue it. An Yixuan was even prepared to have a decisive battle with Gan Ning. However, Gan Ning was so quiet that it was scary.
"General Gan Ning, let Yan Huang and the Huaxia Ship go forward to help General Ling Chen!" Yang Chen was still a little worried and said to Gan Ning.
"No need. This credit is not worth stealing!" Gan Ning said to Yang Chen.
"Stealing credit?" Yang Chen was stunned.
"Sir Yang, you don't really think that Liang Chen is running away!" Gan Ning looked at Liang Chen on the Big Man with a telescope. It seemed that Liang Chen also saw him and waved at the Huaxia Ship. This made Gan Ning have the urge to kill him.
"Isn't it?" Yang Chen was stunned for a moment and replied.
"How many turtle ships are there?" Gan Ning asked Yang Chen.
"There are more than 30 ships!" Yang Chen said a rough number. "There are more than 100 cannons on the Big Man! Plus those jump ships, it is enough! "
"En?" Yang Chen obviously didn't break free from Gan Ning's jumpy thinking.
But soon, Liang Chen, who was only one word different from himself but had a thick face, gave Yang Chen a good lesson, that was, the war could be fought like this.
"Report, General, those jump ships also followed!"
"How many?" Liang Chen said in boredom.
"Half, 30 ships!" The deputy on the side reminded him.
"Che, really stingy!" Liang Chen also looked at the sea. He greedily looked at the warships behind An Yixuan's flagship. How good would it be if all of them came, but Liang Chen knew that this was just an extravagant hope. An Yixuan was too cautious over there.
"Well, well, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat! Eat them! "Liang Chen said to his subordinates with a little resentment.
"Yes!"
"Boom boom boom!" Layers of the Burly Man's deck opened up, revealing copper openings. Their chilling aura was so oppressive that they looked like bloody mouths that were about to devour flesh and blood.
"Hehe, hehe! Finally, I can hit people! " Shao Qi, who was on the upper deck of the Big Man, had a ferocious look. His fat body was trembling in this strange laughter, making several recruits on the side look at him and couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Their Cannon Captain didn't need to dress up and he could pretend to be a ghost and sing an opera. People called him Shao Ye Sha. This Shao Ye Sha, like their General Liang Chen, tore off half of his face and stuck it on the other side, so that one side was thick-skinned and the other side was thick-skinned.
"Er Dan, Frog, your Cannon Captain, am I handsome?" Shao Qi moved her face, which was comparable to Sister Feng's, closer and said to the two recruits.
"Handsome, handsome!" Before the two recruits could say anything, a seasoned soldier on the side started to flatter his Cannon Captain.
"Handsome my ass, I don't need your flattery. I know you are not honest. I am asking Er Dan and Frog, they are honest. Frog, tell your Cannon Captain the truth, am I handsome or not?" Shao Qi moved closer to the two new recruits. The two new recruits were so scared that they almost threw the torch in their hands into the cannonballs.
"Handsome, Cannon Captain is very handsome, very very handsome!" The two closed their eyes and shouted as if they had been tortured by the Qing Dynasty.
"Hehe, I knew it, I am the most handsome. Frog, I heard you came from Shouchun. Have you met His Highness the King Of Shu?" Shao Qi began to torture the two honest kids again.
"Yes!" When Frog mentioned His Highness the King Of Shu, he became energetic and no longer nervous, because that person was his idol.
"Then tell me, who is more handsome, me or His Highness the King Of Shu?" Shao Qi said to Frog.
"This, this, this!" Frog didn't know how to answer, and his face turned red.
"What's wrong, are you shy? It's okay, I know. I am more handsome than His Highness the King Of Shu. When I was in the village, all the girls in the surrounding villages ran into my arms!" Shao Qi became more and more shameless.
"No, no!" Froggie, the honest boy, suddenly shouted.
"Frog, Frog!" Er Dan pulled Frog, not wanting this unlucky kid to get into trouble.
However, it was clear that Froggy refused Dopey's advice. Instead, he shouted at Shao Qi with a red face, "Cannon Leader, you're too ugly. You're so ugly that you can't even look at me. My mother told me that you're too ugly. Someone like you, Chou Cheng, will never get a wife! "
"It's over, it's over!" Er Dan and the other veterans were all mourning for Frog. Wasn't he looking for trouble by talking to his boss like that?
Sure enough, Shao Qi also glared at Froggie. When everyone thought that Shao Qi was going to lose his temper, he suddenly burst into laughter, "Froggie, Froggie, I like honest people like you. Look at your cowards. Don't you think I don't know how ugly I am? Come on, Froggie, as a reward, I allow you to take a bath in the officer's bathroom tonight!"
"Really, Cannon Captain!" Frog's eyes suddenly lit up. They were just soldiers, and didn't have a place on the warship. They could only sleep in a hanging basket. Only someone like the Cannon Captain could live in an officer's room. If he wanted to take a bath, he had to pour a bucket of seawater over himself. Only the Cannon Captain's room had hot water. How could he not be happy when he heard that he could take a bath?
"Of course! Not only will I give you a bath, I will also scrub your back as a reward for your honesty! "
"Cannon Captain, I will go and help you!" Frog was so happy that he couldn't control himself.
"Go, go," Shao Qi waved his hand.
Looking at Frog's happy face, the veterans couldn't help but clamp their butts together. Alas! Another honest young man was going to become crooked.
"Damn it, they said I am not handsome. They must be jealous of me!" The more Shao Qi thought about it, the angrier he became. He directly took a torch from a fireman and aimed at the Liaodong Navy. "I will tell the whole world that I am the most handsome man! Fire! "
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
On the turtle boats and jump boats below, the Liaodong Navy was still living in a dream. Just now, several ballista bolts were thrown from the Burly Man, but they didn't even touch their turtle boats before falling into the sea. What a good joke!
Other warships might be afraid of the ballista bolts, but their turtle boats didn't care about them at all.
They didn't care at all, so they laughed at them without restraint.
But after a while, they were dumbfounded.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!" It sounded all day long.
"Thunder, thunder! Put away your clothes and go back to the port!" All the Liaodong Navy had the same idea. In this era, once there was thunder, it meant that there was a storm in the sea, so they had to go to the port to avoid it. Otherwise, their ships would be destroyed and they would die.
But why was there only one thunderclap?
"General, look, over there!" Suddenly, a sharp-eyed soldier pointed at the sky and shouted at the general.
"What a big iron lump!" This was what everyone was thinking.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!" This was not the sound of cannonballs being fired, but the cannonballs falling on the turtle boats.
In the eyes of the Liaodong Navy, the turtle boats were indestructible and could resist all kinds of attacks, but they were directly smashed by the iron lump.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The iron lumps fell from the sky and landed on the tortoise ship. Each one of them created a huge hole that went from the top of the ship to the bottom of the warship.
"This, this, this!" The general on the turtle boats was dumbfounded. What the hell was this?
"Fire!" Shao Qi's perverted voice reverberated throughout the Burly Man. That guy's voice was really loud. Even the people on the turtle boats could hear it.
"Boom, boom, boom!" At first, the ballistae were just testing the distance. Then, it was the first wave of test shots. After that, all the warships opened fire. More than a hundred cannons roared out their anger.
The entire Burly Man warship was suddenly pushed back by the recoil.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
"Boom, boom, boom!" Screams and roars resounded in the sea. Those indestructible turtle ships were like paper as they were smashed into pieces by these iron lumps. The cannonballs landed on the warships and set them ablaze.
More than 30 turtle boats could only withstand two rounds of salvo.
"Puchi, puchi, it's not fun enough!" On the Burly Man, it was the first time Liang Chen used this thing to shoot people.
Seeing the power of two rounds, he was shocked. But then, his greed was insatiable. More than 30 warships could only fire two rounds of salvo, and this was because they were close to the warships.
The destruction of the turtle boats made those who jumped off the ships dumbfounded. Their strong shields, their fathers, were directly blasted into pieces by the Burly Man. They did not have any shields, they could not even defeat the Yangzhou's troop carriers.
What was there to think about? Out of the thirty-six stratagems, the best strategy was to leave. Those who were quick-witted had already turned around and left. Those who were slow had already turned into dregs.
"Still want to run? The appetizer is not finished yet! Pass down my order to chase! " The Burly Man changed its direction. It was no longer firing salvo. Instead, it began to fire in bursts. One must know that salvo would affect the warship's mobility.
"Haha, I killed another one!" "Shao Qi's loud voice has been reverberating on the warship. You can't go up to Liangshan without a third of the time. Shao Qi is really good at shooting cannons.
"Don't run, you asked for it yourself. You have to finish it even if you cry!"
An Yixuan was also on his flagship. His face suddenly became gloomy when he saw the thunder-like thing.
"This, this, this!" An Yixuan's deputy general could not believe his eyes. He could not help but wipe his eyes. He shook his head fiercely and looked over to see if his eyes were playing tricks on him. But the fact told him that it was the truth. Their turtle boats could not withstand a single blow and were directly destroyed. They jumped off the ship and fled in all directions. The Burly Man was killing them one by one.
"Pass down my order, all troops retreat!" Although An Yixuan's face was gloomy, he really could not think of what weapon was in the hands of the Yangzhou Navy. An Yixuan was cautious enough. Now that he knew that he could not win, it was better to avoid the battle and leave.
"General, you can't retreat, you can't retreat! They only have three warships. We still have a chance! " The deputy general on the side stopped An Yixuan. They really suffered heavy losses this time. More than 30 fast warships were destroyed. Gongsun Du's nephew Gongsun Yu also died in the sea. After that, another turtle boat was also destroyed. This was a total of nearly 70 warships. Those who jumped off the ship obviously ran back. In total, nearly 100 warships were destroyed. And the enemy lost those troop carriers that collided with the turtle boats.
How could they dare to go back? If they went back, they would be killed by Gongsun Kang. An Yixuan, as the commander, might be fine, but it was hard to say for the deputies.
"Can't retreat? Now you tell me how to fight! " An Yixuan sneered. He did not understand what weapon the enemy was using. There was simply no way to fight. Although he did not lose 40 warships equipped with ballistas, they were definitely not a match for the enemy. An Yixuan's years of experience told him that it was better to retreat now. In the coastal area of Liaodong Sea, except for Liaodong Port, there were reefs everywhere. An Yixuan's warships could pass through, but the Yangzhou Navy's warships could not pass through. At that time, they could use the geographical advantage to deal with it, but now there was no chance of winning.
"Pass down my order, retreat!" An Yixuan shouted to the messenger under him.
In fact, there was no need for An Yixuan to say this. There were warships that began to turn around and leave.
"It's our turn!" Gan Ning smiled and said to Yang Chen, who was still dumbfounded. With these iron lumps on the warship, victory came so easily?
The Burly Man's ship followed behind and shot. The Huaxia and Yanhuang ships also began to move. The three Sovereign Class warships formed a triangle to crush An Yixuan's warship. It seemed that they had forgotten about someone.
"General, we, we still want to burn the warships?" Ling Chao's subordinate asked Ling Chao.
"Burn, burn your Brother Ma's head!" Ling Chao suddenly burst out swearing. He was also completely stunned by this Sovereign Class warship. His mind was now full of the figure of this Sovereign Class warship, and Liang Chen's smug look.
Ling Chao's heart was now occupied by this idea. Why can Liang Chen, that waste, command a Sovereign Class warship, and I can't? I can do it, I can do it, I am not worse than that waste! ‘
Ling Chao naturally had people from the Marine Corps to meet him. Ling Chao boarded a safe warship.
"General, we can't go any further!" Someone on the three Sovereign Class warships warned. Gan Ning and the others all frowned. Because there was bad news, that was, there were too many dark stones and reefs in the waters ahead. If they were not careful, it could cause the warships to run aground.
But if they did not chase, the Liaodong Navy would always be a disaster. Let that An Yixuan escape.
"General, we can't retreat, we absolutely can't retreat!" An Yixuan's Deputy General on the flagship was still shouting.
"If we don't retreat, we can't win at all. In the end, we will be wiped out here!" An Yixuan said to his Deputy General earnestly.
"No, General, we haven't fought yet. Our main fleet is still there. How can we lose? The Yangzhou Navy only has three warships in total. We can fight!"
"Are you the commander or am I the commander? I said retreat!" An Yixuan was also angry. This deputy general really didn't want any face at all.
"General, you are the commander, so you can retreat. You are also Young Master Gongsun Kang's best friend, so you can retreat! But we can't retreat! "The Deputy General sneered at An Yixuan.
Gongsun Kang's order before the expedition was to take down the Yangzhou Navy fleet. If they couldn't, then they would be beheaded. Everyone had even written a military order.
If they went back like this, then Young Master Gongsun Kang would definitely kill a group of people to vent his anger. He couldn't kill An Yixuan because An Yixuan was his Navy Commander. An Yixuan was also Gongsun Kang's best friend.
But the others were different. If they won, even if it was a pyrrhic victory, they could explain it well. If they went back like this, it would be a dead end.
"En? Dongfang Ming, are you trying to rebel? "An Yixuan was completely angry and shouted at his Deputy General.
"General, if you say this is a rebellion, then it is a rebellion!" Deputy General Dongfang Ming sneered, "Men, take An Yixuan for me!"
"Let's see who dares!" An Yixuan was furious and pulled out his sword. The other generals on the side were also hesitant. Some were with Dongfang Ming, and some were with An Yixuan. They all pulled out their weapons and pointed their swords at each other.
"Everyone, use your brains and think. If you go back like this, who will live? You, you, or you?" Dongfang Ming asked his subordinates.
The generals all lowered their heads under Dongfang Ming's gaze.
That Gongsun Kang was famous for his stubbornness. He only liked to see battle merits and victory, but did not like failure. Or rather, he was afraid of failure. Back then, when he was attacking Fuyu together with Goguryeo, a general had accidentally been ambushed by Fuyu, causing thousands of casualties. However, this general was fearless in the face of danger, and killed thousands of the enemy instead.
Even so, he was still killed by Gongsun Kang. And now, with such a big defeat, it was hard to say how many people would be alive when they went back.
"No, no, I promise that Young Master Gongsun Kang won't kill you!" An Yixuan shouted to his subordinates.
But An Yixuan wasn't confident.
So, everyone was leaning towards Dongfang Ming.
An Yixuan knew that he couldn't win, so he didn't ask them to leave. Instead, he looked at Dongfang Ming. "Dongfang Ming, even if you don't retreat now, you still have no chance of winning. In the end, you will be wiped out and everyone will die!" An Yixuan shouted at Dongfang Ming. "There is still a chance of survival if we go back!"
Dongfang Ming frowned at An Yixuan's words. He looked at the three huge warships that were chasing after them. From time to time, thunder could be heard from those warships.
"That's thunder! Thunder can only be made by gods. Could it be that His Highness the King Of Shu is really destined? " Dongfang Ming had to admit that An Yixuan was very good at naval warfare. Dongfang Ming wasn't as good as him. Even An Yixuan wasn't confident, let alone Dongfang Ming.
"Dongfang Ming, it's not too late to abandon the dark side and join the light side. I won't hold you accountable! Come back with me! " An Yixuan comforted Dongfang Ming. He was afraid that Dongfang Ming would be confused and fight with the Yangzhou Navy.
Unexpectedly, Dongfang Ming smiled and looked at An Yixuan. "General An, if you want to live, you don't have to beat the Yangzhou Navy!"
An Yixuan was stunned. What did this mean? If they didn't beat the Yangzhou Navy, how could they go back and explain to Gongsun Kang?
Explain? Hehe, there's no need to explain.
