Chapter 739 The Unquenchable Fire(1/2)
China's water combat has always been dominated by long-range projection.
It is not that China cannot do it, but that it feels too crappy.
Because if you use the angle of impact, the ship that is likely to be sunk will drag the impacted ship and sink together.
Our ancestors were so smart that they immediately abandoned them when they realized they were unreliable and turned to remote projection.
Previously, long-range projections were mainly bows and arrows, and they were also the world of rockets.
Gan Ning, who has been living on the water for many years, has long been so familiar with these things that he can't be familiar with them anymore.
But today, he encountered a means of attack that he had never seen before.
Once those terrible fire-burning jars fall on the boat, they will immediately become a ball of fire.
A ball of fire is nothing, but the focus of water combat is on rockets shooting each other.
But no matter what method the fire hit this time cannot be extinguished.
Someone was stained by the sputtering flames, and they could not be extinguished by slapping and tearing them even when they were watered.
A colleague came forward to help, but when he beat him, he was stained with flames and was soon burned all over his body.
Such a terrifying and irreducible flame greatly affected the morale of the Eastern Wu navy.
Before they even entered the range, more than half of the ships on their side were ignited.
The angry Gan Ning shouted loudly, demanding that the ships accelerate to the fastest and rely on helping to solve the opponent.
Then, another round of clay pots flew over.
This time, a fire pot hit the vicinity of Ganning. The splashing flames also stained his armor.
Before, Gan Ning, who had witnessed his own eyes being contaminated by this blue flame, ended up being so terrifying. Without any hesitation, he quickly cut off the connected cow tendon and untied his armor and threw it away.
The armor attached to the flame fell on the deck, and the deck was immediately stained with flames.
Gan Ning, with a pale complexion, looked at a small ball of flame on her arm. She gritted her teeth suddenly and waved her knife to cut off the flame and even the flesh.
When he wrapped his wounds without saying a word, he looked up again and looked around, his ship was already trapped in a sea of fire.
There was no other choice, Gan Ning gritted his teeth and jumped into the river.
The chances of the Eastern Wu generals die in the water battle are not high, because their water quality is very good. Moreover, the Yangtze River is not the sea, and you can get ashore after swimming for a while after entering the water.
What made Gan Ning feel unbelievable after getting into the water was that he saw that even the water surface was on fire without a place on the river.
Many sailors like him who jumped into the river to escape were screaming and were engulfed by the flames on the water.
Gan Ning, who was versatile in his youth, felt fear for the first time, which was fear of the unknown.
He never thought that there would be flames in this world that could burn on the water!
"military adviser!"
Zhao Yun, who was inexplicably excited, looked at the Eastern Wu fleet, which was completely covered by thick smoke and flames, "We won!"
If you fight on land, you won’t be so excited no matter how you win Zhao Yun.
But this is a water battle, and I am facing the world's best Eastern Wu.
Wang Xiao said that his excitement was understandable.
You have made breakthroughs in areas where you are unknown or have shortcomings, and this excitement is irrepressible.
"No, not yet."
Wang Xiao was very calm, "This is just the vanguard of the Eastern Wu navy, and their main force is still watching from behind."
Previously, Guan Yu led the main force of the Jingzhou army to the south to compete with Zhou Yu's Eastern Wu army.
Zhao Yun is the one who stayed in Jiangbei.
Wang Xiao rushed back from Shu and took the Han River naval army southward, and directly brought Zhao Yun's troops with him.
Zhao Yun stepped forward and bowed and bowed, "Please give orders from the military advisor."
The generals around all stepped forward and said, "Please give orders from the military advisor!"
The main force of the Eastern Wu naval army was wiped out without any loss before. The reality that made everyone understand that the once arrogant Eastern Wu naval army was destroyed today.
Now that morale is overwhelming, secret weapons are in hand. If you don’t take advantage of the good opportunity to rush forward and kill your opponent to obtain military merits, will you still need gifts to leave the country?
Wang Xiao looked around and saw faces longing for military merit.
The fight against the powerful people and the sharing of land and land has won the hearts of the people.
For soldiers and powerful families who have participated in the Liubei Group, there must be corresponding incentive mechanisms.
Wang Xiao’s method is to modify the military merit award system that was ruined by the great man and then use it.
If you win a battle and have military merits, you can earn corresponding titles based on military merits.
The title represents the corresponding land fief and power.
This is a real benefit, not the kind of fooling you who was cheated of being cheated before.
When attacking Yizhou, those who obtained military merits received their own titles. Then there was fief and power, which were not discounted at all.
With a living example in front of you, Liu Bei's army's pursuit of war is the strongest.
"The whole army."
Wang Xiao drew out his sword and pointed in the direction behind the thick smoke "attack!"
The Eastern Wu navy in the rear is now in chaos, because the flames and smoke are rippling from Ganning where they attacked. And no ships have escaped. They only know that they have encountered a fire attack, but they don’t know what is going on.
Moreover, the nominal commander Lu Su was not on the ship at this time.
Because the generals were exorced by light or secretly, Lu Su stayed on the shore to escort Zhou Yu's coffin.
Now under anxiety, there is not even a person who can make decisions.
As for now, it was too late to invite Lu Su over. Because Guan Yu's troops who were chasing from behind were already approaching on land.
They still haven't figured it out yet that Wang Xiao's real goal was only the Eastern Wu navy from beginning to end.
Those on land are just miscellaneous fish that can be disposed of by hand.
If all the ships of the Eastern Wu rushed forward, not to mention the more they defeated the Han River naval army, at least they would break out of the blockade line and leave the battlefield.
After all, the river surface is so wide that the Han River naval ships are scarce and cannot be completely blocked.
Unfortunately, no one in the current Eastern Wu navy has this vision.
Even if Lu Su could see that, he is now on the shore.
Between anxiety, one warship after another suddenly broke out in the thick smoke several miles away.
The flag of the Liu family group that was clamoring made the Eastern Wu naval army collectively silence.
Liu Bei's fleet, which had so few ships, actually dared to take the initiative to attack the main force of the Eastern Wu naval army?!
After a brief shock, there was an irrepressible anger.
MMP, I look down on others too much. I am the Eastern Wu navy!
The fleets of various flew into anger ignored Lu Meng's anxious dissuasion and rushed over to fight in chaos.
He clearly has the advantage, but he cannot play it out because of the chaos in command.
Some people rushed up, some were waiting in place, and some even wanted to dock to pick up Lu Su and the others.
The people who rushed up were also in chaos. No one listened to each other and they were fighting each other.
In such a chaotic state, Wang Xiao was naturally led by the nose.
Although they have few people and few ships, they are short and concise.
Wang Xiao personally directed the fleet, circling and maneuvering on the river surface, and resolutely did not give the Eastern Wu navy a chance to siege.
While using his maneuverability to quickly tear the battlefield, rounds of incendiary bombs were thrown out, smashing numerous Dongwu ships into burning flames.
"Governor!"
At this time, Gan Ning finally crawled out of the water and ran all the way to Lu Su on the land.
"Can't fight anymore, let everyone go!"
Lu Su looked at his blood-soaked arm and was shocked, "Xingba, your injury...Military doctor~~~"
"Governor!!"
Gan Ning grabbed Lu Su, and the anxious look on his face almost burst out and bleeding. "My injury is not important, the important one cannot be beaten anymore!"
"What's going on?" The chronic Lu Su was also infected and anxious.
Gan Ning said quickly, "I fought against the Jingzhou navy and found that they used an unprecedented weapon. A few hundred steps away, the burning fire pot could be shot and smashed onto the ship."
"I looked at it. The general's fleet caught fire very quickly, why didn't it put out the fire?" Lu Su was also watching the battle on the shore before. The most puzzled thing was that the fleet of Ganning's fleet caught fire very quickly, but there was no one who successfully put out the fire.
"It's not that someone doesn't want to put out the fire, but that it can't be put out at all."
Facing the distrustful gaze of the people around him, Gan Ning smiled miserably, "I know you all think you are afraid of death and are talking nonsense here. But in this world, there are really flames that cannot be extinguished! Even when it falls on the river, it is still burning!"
