Chapter 2003 No way to fight back

When they first arrived at the river near Baqiu, the Wei army discovered countless ships on the river. When Wang Jun saw that Lu Kang chose to cross the river in Baqiu. Cao Liang had previously judged that Lu Kang was likely to cross the river in Baqiu, because Baqiu was the most ideal place to enter Yunmengze. It seems that Cao Liang's speculation is really accurate!

Wang Jun ordered the naval fleet to radiate the attack formation, advance at full speed, and rush towards the Wu army's fleet.

Wang Jun's primary target was the three tower ships of the Wu army, which was the last remaining fruit among the remnants of the Wu army's naval division. Wang Jun directly used four battleships to concentrate firepower on the three tower ships to strike them first. Hundreds of stone bombs and fierce oil bombs smashed the tower ships like raindrops.

Due to the huge size and full load of soldiers, the speed of the tower ship was naturally not fast, and it was even more difficult to turn around. At this moment, they saw the Wei army's fleet suddenly attacking, which scared them to panic and were about to escape.

In the past, the Wu army's tower ships were at the top of the food chain. They sailed on the Yangtze River and did not take any ship seriously. They swayed, arrogantly and rampantly.

But after the Pengze Lake Water War, all the warships of the Wu army, including seven tower ships, were destroyed and destroyed. This battle completely broke the myth of the Wu navy's undefeated. Those naval armies who had not experienced the Pengze Lake Water War also lived in boundless fears from then on.

When a tower ship saw the Wei army's fleet attack, the tower ship commander was so scared that he was exhausted and was speechless. He ordered the tower ship to turn around and prepare to flee back to the south bank.

Originally, the hull was huge, the hull was very high, and the center of gravity was unstable. In addition, the wind and waves suddenly broke out on the river. When the hull turned sharply, the huge hull was overwhelmed and overturned, and the boat was detained into the water.

Lu Kang looked at it on the shore and couldn't help but curse: "Idiot!"

Logically speaking, the Wu navy was well-trained. Even if the situation was critical, it would not be possible to make such a low-level mistake. The accident in which the Changan sinked was not all human-made. The main reason was that the wind and waves were too strong. At this time, the wind on the river was not too strong. At this moment, the capsized ship was entirely caused by operating errors. If you turn around suddenly, you will be trying to death!

Lu Kang quickly ordered the surrounding warships to rescue the fallen people, and at the same time sent flag signals to the other two tower ships, so that they would not turn around and sail straight to the north shore to ensure that the crew could land as much as possible.

Faced with the sudden attack of the Wei army, it was almost impossible for these tower ships to escape. Lu Kang could only hope that they could dock evenly. After all, each ship carried thousands of people. Once they discovered the sunk accident like that just now, the crew would die for a lifetime and the chance of survival was very small.

What's more, the tower ships had sailed to the center of the river at this moment. Facing the rapidly attacking Wei army fleet, they turned around too slowly and were too late. They could only bare the bullet and drive forward and dock first.

Just now, Lu Kang issued an order to withdraw in desperation. Now the sudden overturn and sinking of a building ship made him realize the mistake of this order. Not only did the building ship capsized, but other warships and fishing boats turned around, which led to many warships colliding accidents, and the scene was almost out of control.

Lu Kang had no choice but to change the order so that the ships that had already reached the center of the river did not have to turn around, but instead rowed forward desperately and landed on the north shore as much as possible before the Wei army arrived.

As for those ships that have just left the shore or not far from the south shore, they all turn around and return and are not allowed to take another step forward.

There is no difficulty for those ships that have just set sail to return, but the situation of those ships that have reached the center of the river becomes very embarrassing. The distance between them is roughly equal, but the Wei army is coming very fast. Can they still have a chance to escape?

The remaining two tower ships learned the lesson of the previous tower ship capsized, and did not dare to turn around rashly, so they could only drive forward with a tough bullet.

But the Wei army's strikes followed one after another, without giving them any chance to escape. After the tower ship sank, the Wei army's battleship's target was completely locked on the other two tower ships. Although the number of fierce oil fire bombs used by the Wei army was less than one-tenth of the stone bomb, the hit of each of the fierce oil fire bombs brought a fatal blow to the tower ship.

The ignited fire ruthlessly swept everything on the warship. Even if the Wu army crew members tried hard to extinguish the fire, the results were very little. This kind of fire that could not even be extinguished in the water instantly burned the entire ship. Countless Wu soldiers were swallowed up in the fire and wailed in pain.

One by one, the figures on fire jumped off the stairs and jumped into the Yangtze River. The fire was extinguished, but whether they could survive the surging river was another question.

In addition to the fatal blows of the fire bombs that caused a fatal blow to the tower ships, the stone bombs, as dense as heavy rain, hit two tower ships with holes. The stone bombs penetrated the deck and shot directly into the bottom cabin. There were a large number of paddlers there, and the narrow cabin made it difficult for them to move. Once they were hit by the stone bomb, many people would die at the same time.

The large number of deaths of the oarsmen made the tower ship lose its momentum, and it spread across the river and became a living target for the Wei army.

Lu Kang, who had never experienced the water battle in Pengze Lake, looked at the river dullly at this moment. Only then did he deeply realize how hasty and helpless Bu Chan was when he was hit. No wonder the Wu navy was defeated so miserably, and the battle between the two sides was not at the same level at all.

The Wu army not only had no power to fight back against the Wei army's stone casting ship, but also did not even have the ability to parry. This was just a unilateral massacre.

The once invincible naval army of Wu Kingdom has now fallen to such a state. This is why Lu Kang is in a state of despair. Without this scene today, he would never have imagined how tragic the water battle in Pengze Lake was. Although he had learned the details of the water battle from Lu Shi's mouth, hearing it is false, seeing it is true, and witnessing it with his own eyes, witnessing the slow sinking of two tower ships in the fire and stone bombs, which was indescribable.

Lu Kang originally had extremely firm beliefs. Even if the country was lost, even if the Wu Lord collapsed, or even if the navy was destroyed, he did not shake Lu Kang's determination to restore the country. He tried to save the Wu Kingdom in danger by relying on his own strength.

But now he suddenly felt a sense of helplessness in his heart. It was so cool that the Wu Kingdom was over, it was really helpless!
