Chapter 1913 The Battle of Crossing the River II
Since the fleet of the Wei Navy had already come over, the Wu Navy certainly could not admit defeat and had to do all its might to intercept it. Ding Feng gave the order, and the Wu Navy's warships all started anchoring and sailed towards the heart of the river.
However, Ding Feng was still careful. In order to prevent the Wei army from cheating, he ordered the Wu army's warships to travel as far as the center of the river and not to cross the river. In this way, even if the Wei army had any ambush on the shore, it would be useless.
What Ding Feng has always been worried about is the things inside the fence. The more mysterious the things, the more vigilant he is. After all, Cao Liang can't spend a year making a fool of himself there. If it was really that kind of particularly powerful attack weapon, once the Wu warship approached, wouldn't it be a disaster?
The overall strategy of the Wu army is defense. The purpose of defense is to preserve itself as the main focus and attack the enemy as the auxiliary. Now the enemy situation is not clear, Ding Feng certainly did not dare to launch an attack rashly, so Ding Feng did not order the Wu naval army to attack the entire line, but instead let them stay in a safer area to welcome the enemy. If the Wei army invades, they will be annihilated, but if the Wei army only attacks, they will ignore it.
The location of the middle of the river is the safest distance Ding Feng thinks. At this distance, any offensive weapon of the Wei army cannot reach. As long as the Wu army does not cross the middle of the river, even if the Wei army has ambush, it will be useless.
Although Ding Feng was cautious enough, he still underestimated Cao Liang's terribleness. This time, the attack weapon designed by Cao Liang can not only hit the middle of the river, but also cover any target on the river surface, and can even attack the south bank of the river.
Therefore, no matter whether the Wu army's warships are not in the middle of the river, they are in the attack range of the giant catapult car, unless they escape from the range of the catapult car, that is, they leave the waterway from Xijiangkou to Jianye City, so that they can avoid being attacked.
But in this way, Jianye City has no danger to defend and no soldiers to defend, and the Wei army's warships can drive straight to Jianye City.
This is exactly the effect Cao Liang wants to achieve. After all, the Wu army's warships are the target of movement. If they do not enter the range of the catapult, the catapult is impossible to hit. Therefore, before Cao Liang, the catapult was almost thousands of years old, but no one had ever thought of using it to deal with the warship. Cao Liang's idea was simply forever.
Because Cao Liang didn't have to sink the Wu warships. As long as they were scared away, they could have the goal of clearing the obstacles on the river. Of course, if the Wu warships were to intercept them even if they fought to the death, then let them taste the taste of a meteor shower.
Wang Jun directed the warships to sail out of the water camp, and lined up the warships, spreading across the river, with all the big ships standing in front and small ships standing behind, forming a grand scene of thousands of sails competing on the river surface, which made a lot of work in momentum.
The reason why Wang Jun showed off such a warship formation was to attract the attention of the Wu navy and lure a large number of Wu warships to intercept. Although the Wei fleet seemed aggressive, its speed was not fast at all. After they sailed out of the water camp, they sailed slowly all the way, and were still far from the center of the river.
However, the Wu army's warships were much lighter. They quickly arrived at the position in Jiangxin. Ding Feng and Sun Yi led the army to fight. However, they strictly followed Ding Feng's orders and did not rush towards the Wei army rashly. Instead, after reaching Jiangxin, they stopped the warships and waited for the Wei army's warships to approach, and then prepared to fight with them.
At this moment, the fence that had been covered with dust for a year collapsed. Yes, it was not slowly removed, but after many Wei soldiers removed the front and rear support rods, they pulled the fence down with a large rope.
The huge sound made the people around him look at each other, and Ding Feng and Sun Yi were no exception. When they turned their eyes to the mysterious place for a year, they were suddenly filled with astonishment, their mouths opened into huge "O" shapes, and their eyes were dull.
Catstone? The mysterious thing inside the fence is actually a catapult? Many of the Wu army also knew catapults, but they could bet that they had never seen such a huge catapult in their lives.
These giant catapults stand by the river. Although they are several miles apart, General Wu Jun was still shocked by its tall and mighty appearance. They are densely arranged there, like a standing forest. No, they are far more neat and dazzling than the sequin, bringing a strong visual impact and shocking.
What was most shocked was the Wei soldiers who had been guarding the fence. They held their positions for a year and never knew what was inside the fence. Now that the fence has fallen, the things inside have finally begun to show their strength. Even they would not have thought that the one they had been guarding for a year was actually a catapult.
But these catapults are completely different from the catapults you usually see. They are tall and majestic. These soldiers need to raise their heads high and look up to see the full picture of the catapult. The thick pillars seem to be thrust into the sky, which is breathtaking.
Except for a few insiders, many people have been kept in the dark. They all secretly guessed what was inside the fence, but there was no clue. Just based on their wild imagination, no one would have thought that Cao Liang would actually move the catapult cart as a siege weapon to the riverside, and it was built so huge that a catapult cart was like a giant tower, majestic.
Just when Ding Feng and Sun Yi were shocked, the catapults had already roared, waved their long catapult arms, and shot stone bullets into the sky, drawing arcs in the sky, and then fell towards the Wu army's fleet.
All this came too suddenly. Before Wu Jun could react, what happened, those stone bullets as big as human heads had already been smashed from the air, like a wave of stone rain falling from the sky.
Many stone bombs fell into the river, stirring up water columns that were several people high, making a loud noise, and the water waves surging, and even the surrounding warships shaking.
The Wu Bing on the warships immediately turned pale. These stone bullets fell from the sky with an unstoppable power. They also landed on the surface of the river. If they hit the warships, will the warships survive?
These Wu soldiers couldn't help but secretly glad that they had escaped the disaster. But some people are lucky, and some are destined to be unfortunate. In this first wave of attacks, many Wu army warships were hit by stone bombs, and the ship was destroyed and people were killed.
