Chapter 359 The Embarrassed Huang Gai

Chapter 359 The Embarrassed Huang Gai

Facing Meng Chen's gauntlet, Zhou Yu had no other choice. Although he didn't know what kind of support Meng Chen had, but in terms of the overall combat power of the navy, the Jiangdong navy still had an advantage.

What's more, the situation on the battlefield is changeable. Sometimes it is not the superior force that can control the victory of the battle!
"Since the Xiliang Army wants to fight, let's fight!" Zhou Yu stood up and waved his hand.

Three days later, on the Chibi River, the best of the Jiangdong navy came out, and thousands of warships rushed towards the center of the river.

On the other hand, the Xiliang army, one after another huge chain boats slowly pulled out of the water village, Cai Mao took the lead and stood on the bow of the first warship.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

When the warship Meng Chen was riding on appeared, all the soldiers of the Xiliang Army raised their arms and shouted!

Being able to make them, a group of landlubbers, walk on the river as if they were on the ground, this is the result of their lord's unconstrained imagination.

Facing the shouts of tens of thousands of soldiers, Meng Chen waved with a smile, and then ordered the army to set off.

Today's appointment with the Jiangdong Navy is not a real decisive battle. Meng Chen's purpose is to fight against Zhou Yu's arrogance.

With Cai Mao as the vanguard, the Xiliang army lined up with more than a dozen chain warships.

Afterwards, there are thousands of warships of various types led by Meng Chen. From a distance, the shadows of the sails seem to be endless.

At noon, the warships of the two sides arrived at the battle waters one after another. At this moment, Zhou Yu frowned, staring at the huge black shadow opposite for a long time without saying a word.

"The battleship of the Xiliang Army, how could it be like this..." Huang Gai was shocked by the scene in front of him.

Huge building boats lined up side by side, or in groups of three, or in groups of five, as if dozens of mountains were slowly pressing down.

Not only Huang Gai, but all the navy generals in Jiangdong were like this. No one could have imagined that the Xiliang Army would come up with such a thing.

"The boat is connected by iron cables, and wooden boards are laid to reduce the sway of the hull, so that the Xiliang army who is not familiar with water will become like walking on flat ground." Zhuge Liang's voice came out.

In fact, Zhou Yu has already discovered the problem without him saying it!
There are huge iron chains hanging around these behemoths in front of them, otherwise three or five ships would not be gathered together.

"What should I do?" Lu Su panicked.

A single building ship is not easy to deal with, let alone a few ships serialized together.

If we continue with the situation in front of us, our side will definitely be beaten to pieces.

"Huang Gai listens!" Zhou Yu, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

"The old general led the Clippers to attack. You can't face the enemy head-on, you can only harass them around." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

It is indeed shocking to connect several large ships together, but in this way, the already inflexible ships are made more cumbersome.

Therefore, there is a general order like Zhou Yu.

It has to be said that Zhou Yu's observation ability is keen, and he quickly discovered the shortcoming of the chain boat, but whether this shortcoming can be exploited depends on Huang Gai's temptation.

Not long after the order was issued, Huang Gai led nearly a hundred small fast boats out of the formation.

To make a big difference with a small one requires not only speed, but also courage.

In the last year's confrontation, Huang Gai beheaded Zhang Yun, and now he is repeating the old plan. Cai Mao, who had noticed Huang Gai's fight long ago, smiled coldly.

"Order the crossbowmen to release arrows after Huang Gai gets close." Cai Mao learned the lesson from last time and silently waited for Huang Gai's arrival.

In the back formation, Meng Chen saw a group of small boats leaving Zhou Yu's army formation, and he understood immediately.

"I have to admit that Zhou Yu is a handsome talent. It's a pity that although the Clippers are fast, they are like a tiger eating the sky against the iron wall and have nowhere to attack." Meng Chen said calmly.

Before the battle this time, Meng Chen saw that Cai Mao prepared a lot of shields. After the last defeat, Cai Mao should have analyzed his own problems.

"My lord's words are very true. Cai Mao is fully prepared this time, and Huang Gai must be beaten to death." Liu Rengui said with a smile.

If Cai Mao is an idiot, he will not be reused when Liu Biao is in charge of Jingzhou.

Although his command ability is mediocre, he is definitely a qualified naval general.

More than a hundred fast boats commanded by Huang Gai flew towards them, and soon headed towards the two wings of the vanguard warship of the Xiliang Army.

It's a pity that the line of warships lined up in this line was stretched apart, causing Huang Gai's troops to disperse.

"General, the line is too long and the warships are too far apart." Huang Gai's lieutenant reminded.

When fighting in the past, the Clippers used their flexible maneuverability to hit more and hit less, but today's form is very different from the past.

"Let's ignore these things for now, find a way to test the combat power of these big ships." Huang Gai ordered after thinking for a while.

Zhou Yu sent him to lead the battle, the purpose of which was to test the attack power and defense power of the chain warship. If they retreated without doing anything, it would definitely affect morale.

"Here!" The chief general gave orders, and the deputy general didn't say anything.

"Archers get ready!" Huang Gai ordered again.

It was difficult to hit the target while driving at high speed, but fortunately, the warships of the Xiliang Army were big enough, and the archers of the Jiangdong Navy didn't need to aim at all.

"put!"

Whoosh whoosh!
The arrow cut through the air and flew towards the target, but then there was a "ding ding ding" sound.

At the moment, Huang Zhong felt bad, and then he heard the sound of laughter from the big boat not far away!
The arrows shot by the Jiangdong navy just now were blocked by the shields used by the Xiliang army on the chain warship.

"Hurry up, get close to the enemy warship." Huang Gai has rich experience in water warfare.

The Clippers were smaller, and after approaching the Xiliang Army's cable warship, they entered the blind spot of the Xiliang Army's archers.

In this way, one's own combat power can be effectively preserved.

It's a pity that Huang Gai made a mistake in his wishful thinking today, a figure of a crossbowman appeared on the highest point of the building boat, and a series of crossbows aimed at his target one after another.

"Lian crossbowman, shoot!" Cai Mao laughed and issued the general order, all of which were within his expectations.

For a while, the sky was full of crossbow arrows, and because of the condescending shooting, it was impossible for the Jiangdong navy to avoid it.

Huang Gai brandished the broadsword in his hand and tried desperately to block it. The continuous firepower of the Liannu made Huang Gai extremely embarrassed!
"General, hurry up!" Huang Gai's lieutenant rushed up with his shield, even so, four crossbow bolts had already been inserted into Huang Gai's armor.

"Retreat, withdraw quickly!" Huang Gai issued the general order with lingering fear.

Cai Mao was overjoyed when he heard the screams, so he poked his head out, just in time to see Huang Gai's embarrassed appearance.

"Turn around and sink them!" Cai Mao roared, but it was not so easy for the chain warship to turn around.
