Just like the Guanzhong navy forces targeting the cavalry now, he can only use catapults and crossbows.

The old method does not mean that it is broken and cannot be used. Just like with cannons, swords and guns are still the mainstream on the battlefield. The tower ships of this era are still wooden flat-bottomed ships, whether they are catapults or crossbows, they will cause certain damage to these wooden ships.

Mainly hit rate...

Cao Cao turned around and looked at a dirt slope in the distance.

On the soil slope, facing the river, some simple disguise was made with a tent.

Behind the tent, a group of Cao army soldiers and craftsmen were busy.

The long arms of the catapult cart were exposed on the top of the tent.

Some laborers were rushing to send stone bullets and crossbow guns to the earth slope.

No matter how difficult the front line was, Cao Cao did not use these catapults and crossbows.

Even though the Cavalry Army cooperated to launch another attack on the front and side, Cao Cao still did not expose these catapults and crossbows.

And the most important thing is that Cao Cao must stand here and hold on to the front, otherwise once the front moves, the position of the Guanzhong navy near the shore may change.

Cao Cao paid a lot for this.

Now, it is time to be the final official stage...

Tighten the air.

Carry.

The war drums blew into the sky, and the drum beating soldiers who were already soaked in sweat, threw off their battle robe, naked on their upper body, and used their last strength to beat the war drum.

The war drums alarmed Ma Jun who was marching on the water, and he was commanding the moving artillery in the cabin.

Ma Jun and the craftsman dismantled a wooden wall in the cabin, then cushioned the cannon with a log and pushed it into the cabin.

In this way, although a big hole was broken in the cabin, the gun's muzzle changed from facing the front of the ship to facing the side. Although such changes made the warships convenient for side fire, it also caused the ship's counterweight to become a little uneven. However, Ma Jun didn't think this was a big problem.

Hearing the sound of war drums that Cao's army suddenly stepped up, Ma Jun ran from the cabin to the side of the ship and looked out, "What does this mean? Are Cao's thief afraid that we don't know his direction?"

The military academy was watching, "Then let's stop there?"

Ma Jun snorted disdainfully, "The old thief must have seen us coming there! He knocked so loudly, but he really thought we would go ashore there too? Go around! Ling Jun said, go ashore in the enemy's back line!"

The military academy laughed and went down to pass the order.

Although Ma Jun was originally a craftsman, he has gradually gained some experience after commanding several ship battles. Although he occasionally had a sudden idea of ​​doing craftsmanship, he at least received the respect of some soldiers and military academies. He would not simply think that Ma Jun was not in military affairs and looked down on him.

Ma Jun remembered that before leaving, Pang Tong sent someone to send an order to tell Ma Jun that the Guanzhong naval army was a skillful move, and could cooperate with the troops on the land to allocate troops on the river and replenish supplies. Of course, due to the difficulties in passing in the dangerous areas in the river and the fleet size, it could only be a small fleet, so it needs to be more cautious and not to be lost.

So Ma Jun was preparing to bypass the main front line of Cao's army and chose to land at the rear of Cao's army. As long as there is a relatively flat mudflat on the river bank, you can try to land and fight.

Ma Jun looked back at the cannons that had become horizontally placed in the cabin, and laughed.

In this way, even if Cao's army saw that Ma Jun and the others wanted to land and send troops to fight, they would be warmly welcomed by ship artillery and crossbow chariots. In addition, the crossbowmen arranged on the side of the ship, Cao's army might not be able to attack him if they wanted to come to the half-ferry to attack him!

If Cao's army sent side troops and stared at them tightly on the river bank, horses would not be afraid.

Because Ma Jun and the others were on the boat, Cao's army could only run with them. After swaying back and forth for two laps, they would be afraid that Cao's army would be exhausted!

The best way for Cao's army to deal with is to set up beacon towers along the coast, and then arrange troops at certain key points along the river at a distance. Once the cavalry naval army is confirmed to land, they will rush in immediately. However, in this way, the forces on the front battlefield of Cao's army are not enough. Now Cao's army is no longer the time when it was fierce and said it was 800,000 to march into Guanzhong...

"As expected...

Cao Cao saw that the Cavalry Navy did not stop at the side of his position, but continued to move downstream. He smiled, raised his hand, signaled, and issued an order to attack.

Whether it is the Cao army or the Cavalry Army, in fact, there are still some common things in the Han Dynasty, such as using golden drums to send commands, using fire to guide them, etc. Therefore, when the Cao army's orders were conveyed, the Cavalry Army on the water naturally noticed them.

Because Ma Jun and others were ready to land on the shore at any time, they did not sail in the waters far away from the south bank, but instead turned to the Cao army on the south bank of the Great River.

On the tower ship, soldiers facing the south bank raised their shields in their hands, ready to face Cao's crossbow attack.

They were not even interested in counterattacking. Even if the rain of arrows shot from Cao's army along the coast was dense, what could it be?

In addition to listening to a jingling sound, how much actual damage can it be?

But soon, the soldiers of the Cavalry on the tower ship noticed something strange...

Because the whistling sounds coming from the air are a little different!

Soon, the Hussars on the hussars reacted and someone shouted: "Be careful of throwing stones!"

The stone bullet whistled and hit the river with a thud, splashing water all over the sky!

Although the stone bomb failed to hit the tower ship, it also scared the Hussars on the tower ship!

Before the Hussars could react, one after another, the stone bullets fell from the sky!

"Switch the rudder!" someone shouted.

But Ma Jun shouted the next moment, "Can't turn! Accelerate! Full speed! rush over!"

The craftsmen around Ma Jun were still a little puzzled, but as Ma Jun pointed, he quickly understood and shouted: "Accelerate! Accelerate! rush over! rush over!"

In order to give the gun a chance to fire from the side, it has now become an obstacle!

Because the center of gravity of the ship has changed, and the tower ship is now generally still in the category of flat-bottomed ships, if a sharp turn is made when the center of gravity is unstable, then the tower ship, which is already a high center of gravity, has the risk of direct overturning!

Moreover, the belly exposed from the sharp turn is obviously more fragile than the deck!

"Run! Rush over!"

Ma Jun shouted.

Now we can only race against death!

Ma Jun knew that whether it was a catapult or a crossbow, the shooting angle was limited, so as long as it was separated from the angle covered by the catapult and crossbow, even if Cao Jun wanted to adjust it, it would be too late!
Chapter completed!
