The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

The Jiangdong navy is in high spirits!

The bow pushed the waves, and under countless ships, it seemed as if they merged into huge waves, merging with the Yangtze River, and surging towards Gan Ning!

Gan Ning narrowed his eyes and made his comment—

"Something capable!"

But that’s all!

The Jiangdong navy was rushing in the front with the smallest but fastest boats.

These warships squeezed in from the Han army's ships like fish and shrimp.

The Jiangdong soldiers on the boat were wearing short clothes and holding short swords, and they rushed towards the large warship of the imperial court.

And then came the warships of Jiangdong.

The ship is narrow on the outside and long on the inside!

Its shape is like a sharp knife, and its function in naval battles is similar to that of a sharp knife!

The sharp bow is covered with iron sheets, and the terrifying impact force after riding the wind and waves is definitely no less than that of heavy cavalry galloping on the plains!
Finally, there are several tall ships.

The building ship has at least three floors and at most five floors.

On every level, there are elite archers and crossbowmen.

The sharpness of the arrows, the majesty of the Han crossbow, and its huge mountain-like size are daunting!
three levels.

Three completely different offensive styles.

The foundation for Jiangdong's survival!
This navy, combined with the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, also symbolizes the pinnacle of naval warfare in the world today!
Everyone in Jiangdong believed it.

On the river, this navy is invincible!
And this is indeed the case.

The charge of the warships could be barely resisted, but the dense rain of arrows from the tower ships made Gan Ning's soldiers suffer terribly!

"Abandon the boats! Everyone board the ship! Use the planks to resist!"

After Gan Ning casually chopped down a Jiangdong soldier who was boarding the boat with a dagger, he immediately shouted behind him.

Ling Tong, who was standing beside him, performed just as well. After clearing out all the enemies near the path, he came to Gan Ning with some shame and said, "This navy is really powerful! If we fight head-on, we might really fail!"

Gan Ning frowned and was about to refute, but did not speak.

Water battle, so simple!
Small-scale combat is nothing more than a minor detail used to assist, block the army’s landing or cut off the food supply.

Large-scale warfare is nothing more than an accumulation of numbers.

However, because of its unique conditions, Jiangdong is able to crush other forces in terms of the number of warships!

Even if the imperial court has already occupied Jingzhou, if it wants to build a fleet large enough to crush Jiangdong, it will inevitably need the assistance of talents from Shu, and it will take at least five years or even more!
but……

Even though he is familiar with it now, Gan Ning's eyelids still twitch whenever he thinks of that terrifying weapon.

"Naval warfare no longer relies solely on numbers!"

……

After resisting for a while, Gan Ning's soldiers immediately began to retreat, leaving behind a large number of boats, which became the spoils of Jiangdong.

When the Jiangdong soldiers saw Gan Ning's navy retreat, they were immediately encouraged!

Just as Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun guessed.

Jiangdong is too eager to win!

Once they are given a little light, they will squeeze in with all their strength and bathe themselves in the glory of victory.

But what awaited them was definitely not victory, but an even more tragic defeat!
Jiangxinzhou...

In the wide Yangtze River, there are such bulges from time to time, which appear particularly abrupt.

But at the same time, compared to the width of the Yangtze River, although such an island in the middle of the river is a bit ugly, it does not hinder the broad view.

This means that even if some ships were hidden behind Jiangxin Island, not too many could be hidden. Even twenty ships would be the limit.

So when the Jiangdong navy was chasing Gan Ning, they did not panic when they saw more than ten warships suddenly appearing behind an island in the middle of the river.

"I think they are just warships coming to support Gan Ning. No need to pay any attention to them!" The amazing operations of those warships completely dispelled the concerns of the Jiangdong soldiers.

A hundred steps away, the warships had already begun to turn, exposing their vulnerable sides...

Except for the tower ships that need to face the enemy from the side to increase the field of view for arrow shooting, other warships mostly collide head-on!

The dozen or so warships that suddenly appeared were not much larger than ordinary ships, and were only seventy or eighty feet wide at most. They did not have the conditions to be fired by a large number of archers!
"You're running away before the fight even begins? How ridiculous!"

The abnormal behavior of the Han army's warships was naturally regarded by the Jiangdong soldiers as an attempt to turn the rudder and escape, and the voices of ridicule became increasingly sharp!

But what they did not realize was that after exposing their sides, the Han warships did not make any further moves, but waited for Gan Ning to lead the "defeated soldiers" to pass through them.

Gan Ning stood on the ship and passed by these warships.

On those warships, there were countless long and thick copper pipes.

One of them had a feather fan and a blue scarf, and the other one wore a white robe.

Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun.

Gan Ning nodded slightly to them, and they also nodded to Gan Ning.

Gan Ning's mission has been completed.

What remains is what these dozen warships should do -

"ignition!"

As the Jiangdong warships came into range, a brand new era burst out from the mouth of Zhuge Liang, from the hands of the Han craftsmen, and from the arms of the Han people who were reborn from the ashes!
"boom!"

Countless roars!

Unprecedented black smoke rose from the Han army's warships, accompanied by countless hollow iron bullets falling on the distant Jiangdong battlefield.

The violent destructive force poured out, creating countless splashes of water, wood chips, and blood...

The mast collapsed at this moment.

The sails were torn into pieces like glass at this moment.

Hundreds of shells exploded in the fleet, and just one round destroyed the combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong navy.

The iron and cowhide on the ship that could resist stone bullets were easily broken like a joke.

The deck of the ship was full of holes, and it was unclear whether the water on the ship was splashed in from the river surface or slowly leaked in from the bottom of the ship.

Walking boat...

Sorry, there is no boat that can take a cannon shot and still stand intact on the river.

All tactics.

Thousands of people summarized thousands of years of military deployment.

At this moment, everything became a joke!
The naval commander of Jiangdong stared blankly at everything in front of him, obviously not understanding what was happening.

Han army?

Or is it a punishment from heaven?

Or, both?
But obviously they don't have enough time to figure this out.

The artillery reloaded extremely quickly, and soon the second round of bombardment came!
Next, it’s the third round!
After three rounds...

Zhuge Liang came to a damaged cannon and shook his head.

Due to the crude craftsmanship and material limitations, new weapons such as artillery would easily have major problems after three rounds of firing.

But that's okay……

Lu Xun shielded the sunlight with his hands, and after careful inspection, he confirmed:

"The Jiangdong navy has been basically wiped out!"

With feather fans and silk scarves, they chatted and laughed, and the masts and oars were reduced to ashes! (End of this chapter)
