Chapter 349 The Soochow Naval Army was lost in the first battle.

With Zheng Chenggong's order, the Qin army's flagship began to break away from the battle sequence, and the remaining small boats began to take over the task of encircling Han Dang and Zu Mao.

At the same time, the Qin army's flagships were connected to each other at the end and lined up in a straight line, crossing the entire river.

"Grandmaster, what does the Qin army mean?" Cheng Pu couldn't help but feel confused when he saw the Qin army posing in such a formation, so he asked Zhou Yu.

When naval forces fight, there is no one who exposes an enemy on the side. Isn’t this the tiger meets a hunter, but turns over and exposes his belly to the hunter?

The Qin army formed such a formation, not only Old Cheng Pu was confused, but also Zhou Yu was confused at this time.

But Zhou Yu is worthy of being Zhou Yu. This Jiangdong governor is not a false reputation. Almost a moment later, Zhou Yu had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Transmission, the formation is drawn between ships, and the distance between ships is at least ten feet." Zhou Yu ordered to the left and right messengers.

At this time, Zhou Yu thought of the weapon to kill King Sun Jian of Wu. Under the flag of the Wu army, the two or three feet of pit was vivid in his mind.

Now the Qin army has taken the initiative to give up the sidewalk. There is only one possibility, that is, the Qin army's sidewalk is equipped with the kind of weapons.

With Zhou Yu's order, the messenger waved the flag in his hand and sent a signal. However, at this time, the Wu army's fleet had already formed an offensive formation and was moving forward at almost full speed. At this time, it was not so easy to distance. In the opinion of the people, Zheng Chenggong would not give the Eastern Wu navy a chance to distance.

Zheng Chenggong stood on the deck. Based on his years of experience, he could see whether the distance between the Eastern Wu navy has entered the best shelling position.

"Recharge!"

"Prepare to shoot!"

Zheng Chenggong shouted loudly and the messenger passed the order of the general to convey it.

"Swish!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a constant sound of "swish" sound. The Qin soldiers on each ship pulled away the black cloth covered in the cannon position. One by one, the dark and shiny cannons showed their ferocious appearance.

The sides of the Qin army's main battleship were all filled with artillery positions, and these artillery were all installed on a turret that could adjust the angle up and down, left and right.

"Calibration gun position!"

"Recharge!"

With the shouts of each ship, a "cry, creaking" sound was heard. The Qin army was loading and adjusting the shooting angle.

"emission!"

With the black flags in the hands of the flag bearer, the Qin army's artillery made a deafening roar.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With one gun after another, the Qin army's artillery entered the mode of its own artillery attack. As the saying goes, if the rich are covered by fire, if the poor are covered by fire, the Qin army will undoubtedly be filled with fuel, and if the fire is covered by fire, it will naturally choose the method of covering fire.

After a series of cannon sounds, the Wu army's navy was completely stunned. They had seen such weapons and experienced such formations there.

Even the most advanced tower ships of the Wu army were equipped with the longest ranged weapons, such as bed crossbows and catapults. Now, the Qin army's weapons were three times more than theirs. Moreover, the power of the artillery can be said to be more than ten times that of the stone crossbows and catapults.

At this time, all the Qin army's artillery fired were solid bullets. This was an iron bullet the size of a human head. This shell hit the Wu army's ship, and in an instant it could knock out a big hole in the Wu army's ship.

Wu Jun's tower ship was fine, but he accidentally shot one shot, and the two shots would not be silent. However, if the rest of the small boats were shot, the entire ship would be broken. The cannon was hit on the ship, and if it hit someone, the whole person would be smashed into meat paste.

Since Li Chen reached an agreement with Cao Cao to exchange iron ore for grain, he can be said to be no longer worried about iron. Now, the navy's shells can be said to be enough.

Moreover, when Zheng Chenggong trained naval soldiers, he always emphasized range and coverage strikes. In Zheng Chenggong's words, it is a problem that can be solved with shells, so the lives of soldiers should not be fought. If problems that can be solved at a long range, there should be no close contact.

The Qin army's navy can be said to be deeply influenced by Zheng Chenggong. If the fire is not fired, it will be opened and fired.

At this time, it was like hail in the sky, and countless iron bombs as big as human heads were spread out like storms.

The Wu army was completely stunned. They had never seen such long-range weapons equipped by the Qin army. Now they were completely at the point where they were passively beaten and could not fight back.

In just one stick of incense, Zhou Yu's hundreds of ships had lost more than half. Even the tower ships that Dongwu regarded as treasures had lost at least one-third.

Zhou Yu's face turned pale. He knew that he had lost this battle. This could not be reversed by tactics. The gap between the weapons and equipment between the two sides was not compensated by quantity.

Zhou Yu was defeated, but it was not his fault. Today's battle, even if it was Zhou Yu, even Mr. Jiang and his grandson were resurrected, they would not win this battle.

"Transfer the order, the ships that have not been damaged immediately turn around and evacuate from the battlefield. The ships that cannot escape will immediately burn themselves with rockets on the ship." Zhou Yu almost gave the order.

"Grandmaster, no!" Cheng Pu shouted.

"I lost, I've lost."

"If this continues, even if all our ships are destroyed, we will not be able to enter the Qin navy. Since this is the case, it is better to sacrifice some of the ships to allow the ships that can escape to evacuate." Zhou Yu said to Cheng Pu.

"Execute the order!" Zhou Yu shouted, without any doubt.

With Zhou Yu's order, the ships that had been shot but had not yet sunk, including Han Dang, who was entangled at the beginning and Zu Mao's side troops, ignited the rockets on the ship.

In the water battle of the Wu army, arrows were the first. Normal arrows were used to kill and injure the enemy, while rockets were used to kill and injure the enemy ships. Because of this, the ships of the Eastern Wu were equipped with rockets. However, these rockets were originally used to burn enemy ships, but now they have become ships that burn their own.

Zhou Yu was too decisive. At this critical moment, he chose to survive with his broken arm. Thousands of ships of the Eastern Wu navy were burning more than 800, and Zhou Yu only brought more than 200 ships to evacuate the battlefield in a panic.

At this time, the fire blocked the way, and the Qin army was not easy to chase after it for a while. However, no matter what, this battle could be said to have caused the Wu army to lose its courage. From then on, the Qin army had the final say on the river.

As soon as the Wu army fled, Qi Jiguang and Gan Ning and others returned to the Qin camp. Looking at the more than 800 Wu army ships in the fire in front of them, the Jinfan thieves were all stunned.
