Chapter 229: Burning the Xuzhou Navy(1/2)

"vomit……"

Li Guang's face was pale and he was lying on the edge of the parapet of the warship, vomiting constantly.

He enthusiastically joined the Langya Kingdom Navy, but ended up getting seasick and soon lost his combat effectiveness.

This was not the first time Xu Sheng encountered such a situation, so he arranged the weak Li Guang into the cabin of his warship.

We haven't even gone into battle yet, but we have already lost one of our generals.

"It's really worrying..."

Xu Sheng thought this was an unfortunate sign.

In fact, Li Guang was just unlucky for himself and his troops, and it did not have much impact on the luck of the entire legion.

"Li Guang seems to be seasick."

"It's up to us next."

Of the three tiger generals, only Xue Li and Zhao Yun remain.



"General Cao Bao, warship! Langya Kingdom's warship!"

The Xuzhou Navy escorted 30,000 units of grain to Tancheng, and encountered the Langya Navy going downstream in the river near Tancheng.

Cao Bao hurriedly walked out of the cabin and came to the deck to give instructions.

Wang Lang, who served as military advisor, came to the deck at the same time and saw a naval division appearing on the upper reaches of the river, with about a hundred warships. He couldn't help but panic.

Although the other party doesn't have a building ship, he doesn't have one either.

The building ship is already a mid-to-late warship.

"The opponent must be fully confident when he takes the initiative to move south. General Cao should avoid his edge."

When Wang Lang faced the Langya Navy, his first reaction was to avoid fighting.

"Our navy has many ships and soldiers, so why should we be afraid?"

Cao Bao observed that the ships and numbers of the Langya Navy on the opposite side were only half of his own fleet, or even less.

He also had a vast fleet of waterships transporting 30,000 units of grain. The number seemed to be several times greater than that of Xu Sheng, who only had warships.

Cao Bao raised his arms and shouted: "Last time, the defenders of Langya Kingdom burned down my army of 100,000 men. This time, I, Cao Bao, am going to defeat the navy of Langya Kingdom and show off the power of our army! Beat the drums and attack!"

When the Xuzhou Navy saw the flag of Cao Bao's ship, they immediately beat the drums, commanded the sailors to paddle hard, and took the initiative to attack Xu Sheng's Navy on the Yi River!

"Is Cao Bao crazy? He dares to attack when he is in the lower reaches... The fire fleet is dispatched."

Xu Sheng was ready to sacrifice a group of sentry boats and wooden boats. With an order, hundreds of small boats, driven by sailors, followed the river to launch a fire attack on the Xuzhou Navy!

Xu Sheng accurately judged the water flow, and Xuzhou Navy was unable to avoid it!

The sailors had already been trained by Xu Sheng. When they were about to approach the Xuzhou Navy, they lit the straw piled up in the wooden boat and jumped into the river. The fire spread rapidly and expanded in all directions!

"Another fire attack!"

Cao Bao's scalp exploded.

This is the second time he has been attacked by fire!

The navy of Langya Kingdom is located upstream, and the fire ships are extremely fast. In addition, Xu Sheng specializes in training sailors to conduct fire attacks. At this time, it is too late to escape!

Hundreds of fire ships sailed south to attack Xuzhou Navy, turning the Yi River into a sea of ​​fire.

"Quickly put out the fire, send out small boats to block the fire ships and protect the canals!"

Wang Lang was so anxious that he blew his beard and stared, rolled up his robe, and wished he could take the initiative to help the frightened Cao Bao command the navy.

The navy of 20,000 men was in chaos.

The successful fire attack not only destroyed some of the warships on the opposite side, but also greatly reduced the morale of Xuzhou Navy!

"Attack on all fronts!"

Xu Sheng beat the drum, and the navy of Langya Kingdom took advantage of the opponent's navy to take a fatal blow and immediately went south!

Regardless of whether it was a stern warship or a walking warship, its body was flexible and its speed was very fast. It quickly approached the Xuzhou Navy.

There was a sea of ​​fire all around, and many of Xuzhou Navy's ships were covered in raging flames. The soldiers on board were forced to jump into the river to escape.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun held long bows in their hands and shot the Xuzhou Navy archers on the opposite side across the warship.

Thousands of arrows were fired, and a number of Xuzhou Navy soldiers fell.

In order to use the fire attack to the end, Xu Sheng ordered the archers of the Soochow Navy to use fire arrows to set fire to the warships of the Xuzhou Navy!

Except for the cowhide of the stern, which could withstand fire arrows, the other boats were quickly set on fire by Soochow Navy archers, with billowing black smoke billowing out.

boom!

Zhao Yun's ship accidentally collided with a ship of the Xuzhou Navy. The violent vibration caused Zhao Yun and the navy soldiers to stagger and almost fall.

"There are differences between water battles and horse battles..."

Zhao Yun found that his ability in water battles had declined, and he was probably still not used to it. He might not be a match for Gan Ning and other water generals.

Even so, Zhao Yun led the fourth-level soldiers of the Soochow Navy to the deck of the Xuzhou Navy and broke off a spear thrust from the opposite side. He was incredibly brave!

The spears swept across, and the Xuzhou Navy soldiers on the opposite side retreated one after another, looking at the silver-armored young general who was coming to kill them in fear.

There were two silver-armored generals from the Langya Kingdom who participated in the Battle of Hulao Pass and their reputation spread throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty!

Even if Zhao Yun's force is affected by the unfamiliar water battle, Zhao Yun can still lead a dozen Soochow navy soldiers to rampage on the enemy's warship until he kills the opponent's soldiers and captures the entire warship!

As for the sailors who rowed the oars, as well as the warship, they all became Zhao Yun's prisoners.

The navy soldiers of both sides fought fiercely. Xu Sheng's main battleship was flanked by two Xuzhou Navy ships. Xu Sheng personally drew his bow and shot the Xuzhou Navy archers on the enemy ships.

The soldier on the opposite side threw out a flying hook, hooked onto Xu Sheng's stern, and shortened the distance between the ships on both sides.

As long as Xu Sheng is killed through a series of battles, they may be able to turn defeat into victory!

Xu Sheng was not in a hurry. He held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and led his soldiers to kill the Xuzhou Navy soldiers who tried to board the ship.

Xue Rengui's warships were eyeing the warships used by Cao Bao to command.

Cao Bao's warship is a fifth-level battleship. This is a warship that is more advanced than the warship and is majestic.

Xue Rengui saw the warship at a glance, so he ordered the sailors to approach the warship where Cao Bao was.

"What should I do..."

Seeing a sea of ​​fire all around, Cao Bao's command was in confusion, and he didn't realize that he still had a chance to turn defeat into victory.

Xuzhou Navy's warships and number of people are twice that of Langya Navy. The ship of Xu Sheng, the commander of Langya Navy, is being attacked by Xuzhou Navy. If Cao Bao can regain his strength, he may not be unable to fight back.

But now Cao Bao was frightened by the fire attack and just wanted to escape as soon as possible: "Retreat, retreat immediately!"

The fifth-level battleships raised the flag to retreat. Some of the ships that had not been burned and were still fighting hard saw that their commanders had given up resistance, so they retreated one after another.

The retreating warships in the front collided with the grain-carrying cannons in the rear, making the scene even more chaotic.

"General Cao, what are you doing?!"

Wang Lang wanted to stop Cao Bao from retreating, but it was too late.

After issuing a retreat order, if an attack order is issued again, the inconsistent orders will completely disrupt the fleet.

"We have been defeated. The only way to survive is to escape..."

Cao Bao wanted to get away with it, but the battleship suddenly shook violently, and Cao Bao and Wang Lang staggered around.

"The soldiers of Langya Kingdom are ready to board the ship! Cut off their flying hooks quickly!"

The soldiers of the Xuzhou Navy on the fighting ship were in a panic. A stern had just hit the fighting ship.

Two or three flying hooks had already hooked the half-wall of the fighting ship. Xue Rengui led the navy soldiers to board the fighting ship where Cao Bao was.

The sailors on the stern threw Fang Tian's painted halberd to Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui took Fang Tian's painted halberd and killed everyone on the deck!

Xuzhou Navy soldiers armed with swords and halberds kept coming to expel Xue Rengui, but they were killed by Xue Rengui and a dozen Soochow Navy soldiers.

The Xuzhou Navy soldiers closely protected the two generals Cao Bao and Wang Lang.

Xue Rengui dragged Fang Tian's painted halberd and killed a guard, causing blood to splash onto Wang Lang's face.

Wang Lang was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, looking at this fierce general who looked like a god of war in horror.

One Xue Rengui and a dozen Soochow Navy soldiers killed dozens of Xuzhou Navy soldiers!

"Death!"

Cao Bao's subordinates shouted loudly and wanted to kill Xue Rengui with a big sword.

With a clang, the sword was thrown away, and the general was killed by Xue Rengui using Fang Tian's painted halberd. Red and white splashed all over Wang Lang, a scholar.

"I...I surrender..."

Cao Bao was frightened and quickly kowtowed to surrender.

"And you?"
