Chapter 1980 The beginning of the show
Cao Liang has been paying close attention to the situation on Pengze Lake. When Sun Yi successfully led the Wu army fleet to the waters of the lake island, the main fleet of Wei army had already formed a formation and was ready to enter the battle at any time.
Until the last moment of returning to the team, Sun Yi was still worried that he had not destroyed the formation of the Wu army, but Sun Yi didn't know that if the Wu army fleet was allowed to divide the troops, it would disrupt Cao Liang's deployment. Cao Liang most hoped that the formation of the Wu army fleet would be to maintain a dense form, which would be conducive to the attack of the battleships.
Bu Chan's clever behavior was undoubtedly to dig his own grave. In his opinion, if the Wei army wanted to attack the Wu army's ambush, there was only one way to divide and annihilate it. As long as he maintained a neat and tight formation on his side, it would be impeccable, and the Wei army would not find any chance to start.
But it was precisely because of his misjudgment that the Wu army fleet had completely gone to the road of no return. Maybe Bu Chan's idea was not wrong, but that was just a conventional method of water war. Today, what he wanted to learn was Cao Liang's unconventional tactics, a tactic that he had never seen or heard of before.
After bypassing the bend of the lake island, the Wei army fleet suddenly appeared in front of Bu Chan. Although he had been mentally prepared before, the moment the Wei army fleet appeared still made his heart tremble and he felt extremely frightened.
It was a sense of fear that the god of death was on the verge of verge. It was like an invisible big hand that tightly strangled his throat, making him breathless.
Bu Chan struggled instinctively for a moment before he could break free from this fear. At this time, he was already sweating in cold sweat and a pale complexion. He took a breath and tried hard to calm himself down.
Even Bu Chan himself was very surprised, why did he have such an idea?
Logically speaking, it was exactly what he expected that the Wei army fleet would appear behind the lake island. Even Bu Chan knew the number of warships of the Wei army. How could he feel scared?
He calmed down and told himself to be calm and that he would soon enter the decisive battle. At this time, he had to concentrate and keep his mind open. He calmly threw the inappropriate thoughts in his mind and silently observed the formation of the Wei army.
The Wei Navy actually arranged a strange formation today. The Wei army's flagship Yangwei was actually placed on the edge, and several other tower ships were almost at the outer periphery. This was simply a surprise to Buchan.
The navy's battle formation is basically arranged around large warships. The tower ship with the largest and strongest combat power will undoubtedly become the focus of the stars and the moon, and is at the core of the fleet. Other small and medium-sized warships are all around it.
Such a formation is unbreakable, whether it is offensive or not defense. It can only destroy the opponent's flagship or most of the tower ships, and can declare victory in the battle. Before that, it is necessary to break through the frigate group composed of small and medium-sized warships.
The Wei army placed the Yangwei and the large tower ships on the edge. Once the two sides started a war, the Yangwei and other tower ships would be attacked first. Such a chaotic formation was completely a rhythm of self-destruction.
Bu Chan quickly turned his gaze to the center of the Wei army's ship formation. The position that should belong to the Yangwei was occupied by five strange warships - Oh, this should be the supply ship modified by the Wei army with the tower ship detected by the scouts - the Wei army actually placed the supply ship on the flagship position. What kind of magical operation is this?
If things are abnormal, they are monsters. Bu Chan sensitively felt that the Wei army's formation was not right. If it were not said that the Wei army's leading general was confused, then the formation would definitely be a huge trap. Although Bu Chan still couldn't figure out where the Wei army's conspiracy was, there was no doubt that there was a conspiracy.
The governor of the Wei army's naval division was Wang Jun. After several fights, Bu Chan had a relatively preliminary understanding of Wang Jun. As for the deputy governor Sun Yi, this guy was a treason thief from the Wu Kingdom. When he was in Jingzhou, Bu Chan had also dealt with him. Bu Chan knew that Sun Yi was also a specialty in managing the naval army. If the two of them were commanded in this battle, he would definitely not make such a low-level mistake.
Because Cao Liang's trip was listed as the highest secret, Bu Chan naturally had no way to know that Cao Liang had arrived in Pengze. He only knew that the fleet arriving at this moment was led by General Tan Kai, Fubo of Wei State.
Tan Kai was the navy captain who captured Qian Tang a few months ago and was promoted to general because of his merits. However, even if he was a general, his position was lower than that of Wang Jun and Sun Yi, so the commander of this battle should still be Wang Jun and not others.
Since he is an old opponent, Bu Chan has also studied Wang Jun's command style. Such a strange formation is definitely not Wang Jun's style, unless there is a ghost in the middle.
"Slow down and move forward, shrink the formation!" Bu Chan immediately issued an order.
When he noticed something strange, Bu Chan immediately changed his tactics and ordered the fleet to slow down its progress. Unfortunately, he still did not make the right decision, but instead made the fleet tighter, thus losing the last chance.
The contraction of the formation is probably an instinctive reaction of Bu Chan. It is like a hedgehog encountering danger, shrinking his body into a ball and becoming a thorn ball, like a turtle. When he encounters a natural enemy, he shrinks his head and limbs into the shell. In Bu Chan's view, the more compact the formation of the fleet, the safer they will be.
However, the next scene was conceded by Bu Chan's regret. If God could give him another chance, he would definitely not have made such a stupid mistake.
Although the Wu army had slowed down, since the two sides were already in a relatively close position and the Wei army was advancing at full speed, it did not slow down at all. Soon the distance between the two sides entered the range of the chain catapult car.
If you use a stone bomb, the range of the chain stone caster is basically about a thousand steps. If you use a fire bomb, the range will be further increased, at least 1,300 and 1,500 steps, and the farthest can reach 1,500 steps.
Such a long-range range is beyond the reach of any other weapon. An ordinary bow and arrow has a range of only more than 100 to 200 steps, and the most powerful crossbow will not exceed 500 steps. Therefore, the range of a chain of catapults is more than 1,000 steps, which is enough to look down on the world.
As soon as they entered the range, the Wei soldiers quickly pulled off the green curtain covering the chain catapult cart, revealing the true appearance of the chain catapult cart.
