    The Jiangdong warships led by Gan Ning rushed all the way and rushed towards Li Yan's ship.

    ?As the saying goes, husband¡¯s war is about courage.  Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.  Gan Ning has been in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and he knows that water warfare relies on the momentum of the soldiers. If he can defeat the enemy's army with all his strength, he will win. On the contrary, if he can't hold on for a long time, his morale will be exhausted and he will be trapped in a tight siege.  The situation is dangerous.

    And defeating the flagship commanding the fleet is the most critical point.

    Jing Yi's navy was raining down arrows. Gan Ning, who was standing proudly on the bow of the ship, was not afraid. He held a shield in his left hand and a chain flail in his right hand. He put on his melee weapons and was ready. He led a group of soldiers to join the gang.  Preparation for combat.

    Seeing that his own side and Jing Yi's navy flagship were getting closer and closer, the enemy's flagship seemed to be frightened and had no basis to advance or retreat, nor did it dodge. Gan Ning was secretly happy in his heart, and he repeatedly ordered the men in the bottom cabin to speed up.

    Unexpectedly, the warship did not get close to the enemy's flagship. The Jingyi naval force, who was on guard, came towards three unusual fighting ships from behind, preparing to attack the Gan Ning warship that was leading the way.

    "Stop them!"

    Gan Ning did not hesitate and ordered the warship he was on to slow down so that the Jiangdong warship following closely behind could stop the three enemy warships and create the opportunity for him to make a final charge to attack Li Yan's ship.

    Three Jiangdong warships were ordered to speed up and pass Gan Ning's warships, and bravely faced the enemy warships. Arrows flew from both sides, shooting at each other at the enemies standing on the ships.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    "Bang¡ª¡ª" Only a loud noise was heard, as if the Jiangdong warship was hit by lightning and tilted severely, and a big hole was instantly punched out in the side deck. The Jiangdong soldiers who were originally preparing to jump to the side to fight were caught off guard, and many of them were suddenly hit.  Throw it into the river.

    There were sudden screams and wailings on the boat and on the river.

    "rise!"

    After being shaken by the force, the battleship of the Jingyi navy was shaken, and there was another gong sound. The racket pole was slowly raised under the joint rotation of the soldiers controlling the windlass, gathering momentum to prepare for the next slap.

    However, the Jiangdong warship, which had barely regained its balance and had its hull broken, was hit hard by this critical attack. It still had no fighting spirit. After being panicked, it even wanted to retreat and turn around, which disrupted Gan Ning's organization in a moment.  The fleet's attack formation.

    "fall!"

    The battleships of Jingyi navy achieved obvious results with a wave of counterattack, and also successfully disrupted the offensive formation of Jiangdong Marine Division.  Seeing Jiangdong's warships advancing and retreating in chaos, Jingyi's warships took advantage of the situation to approach, adjusted their direction and launched an attack again. The heavy and slow racket can often play a huge role in such chaotic and dense water battles.

    As the battleship Jing Yishui's racket fell again, this time the crowded Jiangdong warships had nowhere to hide. They were helplessly hit by the enemy's racket in turns. Even the bottom cabin of the warship was hit by a huge rock.  Through it, the river water poured in mercilessly and quickly swallowed the broken Jiangdong warship.

    After three rounds of slapping, the combat surface was in a mess.

    All three Jiangdong warships that faced the battle lost their combat effectiveness.  The two warships were extensively damaged, seriously flooded, and were gradually sinking into the river. The side deck of one Jiangdong warship was damaged. The hull had not yet sunk, but the soldiers and sailors on the ship had collapsed on their own and abandoned the ship one after another.  River water, paddling towards the ship behind you to escape.

    The warship behind suffered a small-scale impact. The continuous ups and downs caused the soldiers on the ship to become somewhat scattered. Facing the slowly approaching enemy warships, everyone temporarily lost the courage to fight.

    Gan Ning stood on the bow of the ship, the huge crisis making his scalp explode.  He looked around, and there was great fanfare on the flagship of the Jingyi navy. The enemy warships that destroyed the Jiangdong warship were sailing back around the broken Jiangdong warship in front. The two enemy ships that were like waves before were also gradually closing in, preparing to attack the Jiangdong warship.  The Jiangdong warships attacked fiercely and encircled and destroyed them.

    Our side's momentum to clash and kill the enemy is no longer there. If the fight continues, we will be afraid of the enemy warships manipulating the racket.  Gan Ning made a decision in an instant, and immediately ordered the horn to be blown, the retreat flag to be raised, and the troops to turn around and leave the battlefield.

    The offensive and defensive positions on the water changed, and the retreating Jiangdong Marine Division became the passive side being beaten.

    The warships originally maintaining the offensive formation of the Jiangdong Marine Division began to reverse their oars to slow down and slowly retreat. The warships on the two wings were the first to turn around. The warships in the dense formation in the middle also turned around one after another amidst the sound of chants after they distanced themselves.  After completing the U-turn, they began to accelerate again, hoping to quickly leave the battlefield and get rid of the flanking attacks from behind and from both sides.?Enemy warships.

    Although a few Jiangdong warships will collide and block, and the two-wing warships will be capsized and killed in the attack, Li Yan, standing on the upper deck of the flagship, is still keenly aware of the power of Jiangdong's naval division.

    Although they were retreating, they did not collapse.  Moreover, the speed and flexibility of maneuvering warships were obviously more advantageous than that of the Jingyi navy. Therefore, although they lost some warships, they were able to successfully retreat before the Jingyi navy encircled them. The enemy generals' ships that had previously rushed ahead could not.  He stayed and gradually distanced himself from the pursuing fighting ship on the water.

    Seeing that his own warships were unable to encircle them and Jiangdong's fleet retreated undefeated, Li Yan was unwilling to pursue them in depth. He immediately ordered his flagship to ring gold and change the flag, causing his own warships to stop the pursuit, reorganize their formation, and advance slowly.

    Jingyi navy defeated and captured some Jiangdong warships, and their morale was high. After receiving the order from the flagship, they all moved closer to the flagship and reorganized the formation of the previous march.  Seeing the enemy's flagship reorganizing its fleet, Jiangdong's naval division had no intention of attacking again. They once accelerated to distance themselves and fled quickly down the river.

    Jiangling City, Water Village Observation Platform.

    Looking at the river bank lined with sails and rafters, General Yan Xing, who was on the high platform, asked without looking back.

    "Some people in the army have said that the Jiangdong Marine Division is running rampant on the river and there are few opponents. Jingyi's naval forces are not strong enough to compete with them. Let's reduce the number of soldiers, recruit a new Marine Division, and then go up the river to attack the Jiangdong Marine Division. What do you think?"

    ¡°The subordinates think it¡¯s impossible!¡±

    Li Yan, who had received the order from Baqiu and rushed back to Jiangling, had a look on his face and responded immediately.

    "Oh." Yan Xing asked with a slight smile on his face, "Why?"

    "The general defeated Cao Pi and Liu Biao, and personally led his army to the south. Jingnan and Jiangdong were all discouraged. At this time, they should work hard and use the victorious division to advance and devour Jiangnan. How can we waste time on building new boats?  Master, by that time the spring tide will rise again and epidemics will occur frequently. It will be very difficult for the army to decide whether to fight in the south of the Yangtze River or not."

    "But your military report also said that Jiangdong's navy is cunning and cunning. Not only is it good at ambush in waterways, but it also dares to clash. It travels freely on the river. It is really a powerful enemy. Jing Yishui's army hastily gathered troops and attacked rashly. They are sure to win.  What?"

    "Yes!" On the way back to Jiangling by boat, Li Yan had already thought up a strategy to deal with Jiangdong's boat master, and he said confidently:

    "Jiangdong's boat division is brave enough to fight, and is good at boating. If they are equally matched, they will naturally have few opponents in water combat. But our army is better than the large number of people on the boat, and we have water warfare weapons such as rackets. As long as we camp step by step and fight steadily and smoothly.  If we advance forward with the current, we will be ambushed by the Jiangdong Marine Division alone. There is no reason for defeat in a frontal battle."

    "Fight head-on and never lose?"

    "Exactly, the subordinates believe that although Jiangdong's boat master is good at boating, the way of water warfare is nothing more than the principle of a big ship defeating a small boat. In addition to controlling the racket in water warfare, if our army can form a row of boats, we can form a row of boats.  The battle boat is equipped with a powerful crossbow on top and a racket on the bottom, which can shoot at close range and long range. We can use our army's large number of soldiers and weapons to restrain the Jiangdong Marine Division's jumping gangs. In this way, we can face the Jiangdong Marine Division and win in a single battle.  Set Jiangnan!"

    "A boat becomes a boat?"

    Yan Xing frowned and pondered after listening to Li Yan's suggestion.

    This idea is so familiar. Li Yan wanted to connect the warships with iron cables and lay decks to form a huge war boat.  In this way, the battle boat was huge, stable on the river, not afraid of wind and waves, could carry more soldiers, and even race horses.  Then expand the scull above and add a racket, taking advantage of the Northern Army's large number of soldiers and sophisticated armored equipment, restraining the Jiangdong Marine Division's strengths in melee combat, and attacking the main force of the Jiangdong Marine Division led by Zhou Yu head-on and defeating it.  There is no longer any support in Jiangnan to stop the Northern Army, and Sun Quan and Liu Bei can be captured in one battle.

    But there is an obvious drawback to doing this.

    "It is difficult for a war boat to maneuver in a narrow waterway. What if Jiangdong's boat division fires a fire attack?"

    "The war boats are used for grand battles. The navy also has numerous boats and boats, which serve as eyes, ears and claws to prevent the fire ships of the Jiangdong Marine Division from approaching."

    Li Yan is still very confident. He has just defeated Jiangdong Zhoushi and has the strong courage to lead the navy to defeat Jiangdong Zhoushi. This is also the basis for his rise to the top.

    Yan Xing thought about it again, and based on the principle of listening to his words and watching his actions, he agreed to Li Yan's battle plan, and allocated another batch of main warships to Li Yan to strengthen the front army, granted him the power to command operations, and ordered him to lead  This group of warships returned to Baqiu and attacked the Jiangdong Boat Division eastward, clearing obstacles for the army's land and water advancement.

    Li Yan was overjoyed and quickly thanked Yan Xing.

    ¡¤¡¤¡¤

    Li Yan first defeated the Jiangdong Boat Division, and then received additional troops from Yan Xing. The front army gained momentum. After returning to Baqiu, Li Yan quickly led his army to attack eastward.  They won consecutive battles all the way, and successively uprooted the enemy general Zhou Yu's camp deployed along the river, defeated the Jiangdong Boat Division's fleet cruising on the river, and removed obstacles to the advancement of the amphibious army led by Yan Xing.

    In November, Yan Xing¡¯s army arrived in Wulin.

    Zhou Yu's previous deployments of instigating a rebellion in Jingnan, annihilating the Jingzhou navy, and blocking Yan Xing's army failed to be fully effective. Facing the approach of the Northern Army, the morale of the Sun-Liu coalition was shaken. In order to reverse the situation, Zhou Yu did not retreat but advanced, personally leading the way.  The army swore an oath, left Xiakou and stationed in the Chibi Camp, and formed a camp along the river to confront Yan Xing's Northern Army.

    Li Yan¡¯s front army was also making intensive preparations to attack Zhou Yu¡¯s army.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?The front army gained momentum.
