Chapter 3484 The chain effect of small factors
The river surging, and even if people use beautiful words to praise her, she will not stay for a moment.
The keyboard is the keyboard, and reality is reality.
Not all wise men can have the superpowers of a keyboard warrior who can predict the future.
Cao Cao's military ability is at least more than Ma Jun. Even Pang Tong probably lost to Cao Cao's experience gap.
Since Cao Cao designed a trap, how could he let Ma Jun and others leave easily?
After all, Cao Cao was Cao Cao, and he personally dug pits for several warships. Could it be that Ma Jun could escape so easily?
The tent that was concealed and blocked was lifted, revealing the crossbows and catapults hidden behind the tent, and constantly pouring stone bullets and crossbow guns into the river.
Although this long-distance weapon has great power, its hit rate is obviously quite average. Most of the stone bullets and crossbow guns fell into the water, but very few of them could hit the Navy ships, which caused great damage to the Navy!
If only these attack methods were used, then the acceleration of the cavalry navy would have been able to escape the long-range firepower projection range of Cao's army. However, Cao Cao not only arranged the positions of catapults and crossbows, but also made people bury the ropes buried under the river at this moment!
Block the river rope!
It's a simple trap like a trippy horseshoe.
But it can make Guan Erye lose his way.
In his life, the Red Rabbit Horse has crossed many mountain streams, avoided many swords, guns, and traps, but finally fell in front of the most ordinary hemp rope...
The same is true for the Guanzhong naval fleet led by Ma Jun.
Originally, the stopping of the river rope was not a very difficult move for the Guanzhong navy. After all, the Cao army did not even have an iron rope, but just pulled the most ordinary hemp rope.
Hemp ropes will rot after soaking in water for a long time, and they will not be as powerful as iron ropes. However, there is a special advantage, which is that they are cheap and are essential items in military supplies, with enough quantity.
One thing that is not strong enough is ten or twenty. The tied hemp rope has a very good resistance in a short period of time.
If it weren't for the current situation, even if such hemp ropes temporarily stopped the stairs, they would be caught by the soldiers of the Guanzhong Navy and directly cut off with an axe. Even if they couldn't cut with an axe, they would add another axe.
Moreover, during normal driving of the fleet, there are fighting ships in front of the building, and the fighting ships are equipped with special equipment and manpower to deal with such river cables, but the problem is that they are not in normal driving state now...
The stone bullets and crossbow guns that kept pouring down from the earth slope did not hit the ship directly, but splashed water all over the sky around it, which was enough to put a lot of psychological pressure on these naval soldiers!
It’s like memorizing a speech that is fluent at home. When I really stepped on the stage, the light shone on my body, and everyone’s eyes were concentrated, even if I had the experience of taking the stage many times and had previous successful experiences, I might not be able to be relaxed and comfortable every time I took the stage, and I wouldn’t be nervous at all.
Especially on this stage related to life and death!
A little bit of negligence will be infinitely magnified under the lights of the stage of life and death, and cause a chain reaction!
Ma Jun and others are in an extremely awkward situation right now...
Although the destructive power of Cao's stone bullets is not as big as that of the Cavalry's cannon, it can easily be smashed and cracked if it hits the deck or cabin wooden wall.
At the same time, although Cao's crossbow guns may not necessarily cause casualties, as long as they are hit by the hull, they will penetrate the outer wooden board and be hung on the side of the building. Some crossbow guns and rock bullets that hit the side of the ship will also cause some sealed cabins to seep water, affecting the center of gravity of the ship.
The horses dismantled the artillery on the side, which originally increased the center of gravity shift on the side of the building ship, but now they were bombarded by Cao's stone bullets and crossbow guns. Some water-tight cabins seeped into water, causing the center of gravity of the building ship to shift to one side!
And the key is that once this center of gravity shifts, it will become more and more serious and tilt, which will cause other heavy objects to start moving to one side!
The entire hull slowly fell to the right, and coupled with the soldiers who were unstable and rushed to the right, the heavy side of the tower ship was becoming more and more obvious, and it was obvious that it was possible to turn into the water.
Ma Jun took the lead in reacting, "Press up the port side! Throw the starboard side!"
At this time, the ship had already tended to tilt to the right, and the artillery brackets installed in the cabin also began to creak!
At this time, we didn't care about the items on the deck that were useful and what were useless. Everyone was busy throwing the things on the starboard side into the river.
Arrows, throw!
Wooden tub, throw it!
Basin stone, throw it!
Artillery shells, throw them!
...
After finally re-adjusting the center of gravity of the ship, Ma Jun found that the "small gift" originally planned to give Cao Jun to the ship was basically thrown away!
If the cannon was not too heavy and was fixed on the cannon stand, someone might have thrown the cannon into the water.
Now let’s talk about something that cannot be thrown away, so it should be too late to throw away that one.
If there is any if, Pang Tong would definitely send a keyboard warrior on board the ship, then the keyboard warrior can predict the future. When Ma Jun temporarily launched a change of artillery positions, he would prevent these chain reactions from occurring, cut off the chain of cause and effect, and cast the supreme avenue...
Unfortunately, no.
Therefore, in this case, the horses react quickly and keep the ship from overturning in extreme cases is already a very good result.
But Ma Jun felt like he was burning, as if Cao Cao was sucking back and forth on his face several times!
Before he set out, he felt that he could easily defeat Cao's army!
Ma Jun's tower ship suffered a severe blow, and some of the other ships were stunned, while others realized Ma Jun's danger. Without waiting for Ma Jun to issue any order, they spontaneously urged the ship to approach Ma Jun's tower ship...
The purpose of these ships was of course to rescue Ma Jun and the soldiers who fell into the water due to attack by Cao's army on Ma Junlou's ship.
At this time, Ma Jun had not yet completely recovered from the blow...
This is the disadvantage of non-professional soldiers.
The Cavalry Army is professional, but the Cavalry Navy is not.
Just like when the stock market is rising, any stocks you buy will rise, just how much it will rise, and everyone feels like the stock god!
Only in difficult times can we see the gap between high and low levels.
After all, Ma Jun is not a professional general. When he realizes the danger, Cao's second wave of attacks came!
The water suddenly became extremely lively. The originally orderly Guanzhong naval fleet was in chaos and collided with each other. A fighting ship was even directly overturned by its companions. The soldiers on the ship fell into the water. Coupled with Cao's stone bullets and crossbow guns, water and blood splashed everywhere!
Ma Jun reacted at this time and shouted to let the ship disperse, but at this time the chaotic sound covered his shouting, and the shaking of the fire also made it difficult to convey the instructions!
This is the opportunity that Cao Cao was waiting for!
As soon as he saw the cavalry naval army staying in the river and busy saving people, he immediately ordered the attack.
With a command, a group of archers ambushed on the river rushed out of their hiding place, stood on the river, and shot wildly at the Guanzhong naval army in the river!
The Guanzhong Navy was busy saving people. Although there were female walls and side signs of warships, many soldiers were still caught off guard by the ambush Cao's archers!
From time to time, someone was shot and fell from the boat with screams and fell into the water!
The cavalry army wanted to save people and defend, and also had to face the stone bullets that fell from the air. Even though the hit rate of these throwing cars was not high, there were always times when the blind cats encountered dead rats...
The Guanzhong navy was in a mess.
In surface combat, the strongest attack power is the tower ship. Not only because the tower ship is large in size, it can directly collide and crush the opponent, but also because there are more soldiers on the tower ship, which can organize effective attacks. However, now Ma Jun-shang's tower ship is entangled, and other small bucket ships are coming to rescue the tower ship, which means that all the troops have lost their formation and cannot be used together and cannot attack, so they can only be beaten passively.
This is the effect Cao Cao wants.
When Cao Jun saw such a scene, he couldn't help but cheer!
Ma Jun, who was on the boat, made an unexpected move at this moment!
Ma Jun saw that the orders of the golden drum flag were not easy to use at this moment. In desperation, he rushed towards the cannon that initially caused the ship's center of gravity to be unstable. He ordered the soldiers who were still beside the cannon to assist. He personally aimed at the place where Cao Cao's flag was on the high slope, and there was a bang!
The sound of cannons is a warning!
The sound of cannons is the order!
The sound of cannons is an unyielding roar!
The cannonballs roared across the night sky, and the sound of the cannon suppressed all the panic roars!
At this moment, everyone subconsciously turned their heads, looked at the place of artillery fire, and then suddenly looked at the big flag where Cao Cao was!
The solid bomb naturally cannot see the explosion effect of the landing point, but the Cao army soldiers subconsciously deflected and stopped, which gave the Guanzhong naval army a rare chance to breathe!
The flags of commanding generals on Ma Junlou's ship naturally became the focus of Cao's army.
During this chaotic time, Ma Junlou's ship was hit by three or four stone bullets, and more than a dozen or twenty crossbow guns. Several large holes were broken on the side of the deck ship, and many soldiers were damaged.
Most of the damage caused by the stone bullet is caused by the hull, while the crossbow gun brings more direct personnel damage.
The lethality of the crossbow gun is almost ineffective even with armor. Unfortunately, if you are shot, it will basically end up being penetrated.
In addition, ordinary arrows and crossbow arrows shot from the shore and ignited rockets. If the horses cannot adjust the status of these warship clusters in time, it may be dangerous to be wiped out!
Fortunately, Ma Jun made such a shot at the most chaotic moment!
As the sound of the cannon fell, the entire cannon bracket tilted to the side, and it was about to fall!
I don’t know if it was because the original bracket was not nailed properly when disassembling or assembling, or because the ship was tilted just now, the cannon recoil made the bracket moan, and then it tilted slightly to one side!
It was a while since then, and Ma Jun, who was standing next to the cannon, subconsciously went to support the cannon!
But the artillery is heavy, so where can one person be able to support it?
The artillery fell from the cannon stand and broke one of Ma Jun's legs...
『Ahhhhh…』
Ma Jun screamed.
The rest of the soldiers rushed up, lifted the cannon with all its hands and feet, and dragged the horses out from under the cannon.
To be continued...
