Back to the Three Kingdoms and become a python

Each of these thirty large ships was more than twelve feet long. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, such large ships could be called giants. In front of the fleet, two giant ships were eighteen feet long. The military flag on the mast is embroidered with a white dragon with teeth and claws. This is the military flag of the Dragon God Army, which had no semicolon in the Three Kingdoms period.

Compared with the last time, the number of large ships this time has increased by five more, which were newly manufactured by the craftsmen of Wanghai City. After the news that Lin Bei occupied Xiangyang, the craftsmen of Wanghai City rushed to work day and night, and stepped up the manufacturing. Rhythm.

It took two days for He Ming to go back this time. In addition to bringing the tanks and chariots to Wanghai, Cui Lan also asked He Ming to bring the hidden dragon special forces. One hundred hidden dragon fighters were scattered on thirty ships. The safety of the escort fleet.

The two days of delay were because the craftsmen of Wanghai City strengthened the two Great Veyron kingships, and changed from two steam engines to three at the rear, one on the left, one on the middle, and one on the right. The use of the three steam engines did not The speed of the Great Dragon King Ship is increased, but the balance of the Great Dragon King Ship is made stronger. At the same time, the craftsmen added a thick layer of iron plates to the front of the two Great Dragon King Ships, which has a The reinforcement of the iron plate made the collision ability of the Great Veyron King Ship quite terrifying.

Nowadays, Wanghai City does not actually have any talents for water combat. It is all due to the size and speed of the ships, which are far beyond the level of this era. However, considering that they are likely to be intercepted by ships on the river, and they got inspiration from tanks and chariots. , That's why the iron plate will be reinforced on the Dawei Dragon King Ship.

Yes, Wanghai City does not have combat talents on the water, but it doesn't matter, just use the violence to the fullest, the Daweilongwangship is so huge.Far beyond those military ships, just smash those military ships directly.

This violent water combat method is only applicable to the ships of Wanghai City. The use of steam engines allows the big ships to run faster and have more power than sailboats. In addition, the hull is huge, once it hits a small boat.The boat will definitely disintegrate easily, and the river is not too wide, so it is difficult to avoid it.

This kind of violent water combat method can definitely make the big ships of Wanghai City invincible in the inland river, vertically/horizontally invincible, so this time, He Ming hopes that some ships will come to die before arriving in Xiangyang, try the big dragon The fighting power of the kingship.

The first city of Yangzhou passing through the mouth of the East China Sea is the current state capital of Yangzhou, which is Jianye Dacheng. There is a Jianye Port next to Jianye Dacheng.The last time Wanghai City's fleet came here, many small boats tried to stop the fleet, but they were all thrown away, but this time, He Ming made the fleet slow down first, and passed Jianye slowly. port.

"Hey? There are no military ships?" Standing at the bow of the ship, He Ming looked at the Jianye Port, but he didn't see any military ships.There are boats, but most of them are fishing boats.Facing the big boats in Wanghai City, these fish boats could only look at them from a distance, and they didn't dare to go forward at all.

"Could there be some war? So Jianye City sent out all the warships?" He Ming felt a little regretful.

The fleet speeded up again and went upstream. When they passed by Guangling City, they also didn't encounter any military ships.He Ming then confirmed that there must be a war in Yangzhou.

"It seems that the last time I heard that Sun Jian wanted to attack Jianye, could it be that Liu Yao and Sun Jian started a big fight?"

This news made He Ming feel neither sad nor happy, he didn't think it mattered, the mission this time was mainly to send the tanks to Xiangyang.It would be best if we can get rid of some people along the way, if not, there will definitely be a chance next time.

It can also be seen from this that He Ming's current confidence is so strong that even Liu Yao and Sun Jian don't take it seriously. Of course, this is only limited to fighting on the river. If it is fighting on the ground, He Ming will definitely not be like this to think about.

The fleet passed through Moling City and Liyang City in a row, and the wind was smooth. Seeing that they were about to reach Spring Valley City, the flag bearer on the Dawei Dragon King suddenly waved the flag.

"There are many fleets ahead?" He Ming immediately became excited when he saw the semaphore, and he went up to the observation loft on the ship and looked forward.

Sure enough, there were indeed many military ships on the river, and Wang Haicheng's fleet should have been spotted there, so the military ships were also forming formations, preparing to stop Wang Haicheng's fleet.

"The character Liu is written on the military flag, could it be Liu Yao's navy?" He Ming murmured.

He Ming was a little puzzled, why did Liu Yao come to Spring Valley City, and He Ming didn't see any traces of Liu Yao's army having fought a battle, obviously he didn't fight Sun Jian.

In fact, Liu Yao is planning to go to Xiangyang. Yangzhou has a well-developed water transport, so Liu Yao will naturally go to Xiangyang by water. This time, Liu Yao mobilized a total of nearly 5 military ships and [-] sailors. And go, I want to go to Xiangyang to kill the monster Linbei, but Liu Yao's fleet is much slower than Wanghaicheng's fleet, and it is going upstream, so it set off for several days, but was also caught up by He Ming .

Both sides found the opposite, the flag bearer began to wave the flag, the horn sounded, although there was no enmity between each other, but the battle was imminent.

The Yangtze River is wide, and Liu Yao's [-] warships are densely covered in it, stretching for more than ten miles. If you look closely, you can find that Liu Yao is actually very talented in water warfare. His warships can echo each other. Among them, the large, medium, and small-wing warships are all placed in a certain direction, and they are quite formed. Looking at the fleet on the Haicheng side, the formation here is a long dragon. Then, He Ming ordered that another big dragon The kingship speeded up a bit, and was aligned with the previous Kingship of the Great Dragon, while the following fleet just followed. The sergeants on the ship all drew their bows and arrows, and some of the sergeants did not even hold weapons, but were ready to attack. is a fire extinguisher.

One side stopped to guard, but the other side continued to move forward, so the two sides quickly contacted.

"Who is here?" A roar came from a small wing boat in Liu Yao's navy.

He Ming smiled slightly, and with a wave of his hand, several sergeants on the Daweilongwang ship bent their bows and set arrows, and with just a few arrows, they shot the people on the ship into hedgehogs and fell into the water.

With another wave of his hand, the Daweilongwang ship began to accelerate slowly, and rammed towards Liu Yao's fleet with a soaring momentum.

When did Liu Yao's navy see this kind of river warfare, but when they saw the iron plate in front of the Daweilong Kingship, and then took a look at the size of the Daweilongwangship, they knew in their hearts that if they were really hit, I'm afraid their The ships were only torn apart, and amidst the yelling, all the ships moved away one after another, not daring to collide with the Dawei Dragon King ship, and some sergeants even jumped into the river wearing water tanks, preparing to pierce Wanghai City's ships from the bottom of the river Team.

Although He Ming saw those water ghosts, he was not afraid at all. With the speed of the Great Veyron King Ship, it would be a dream to pierce the bottom of the ship under the water. Who can swim faster than a steam ship?

Although Liu Yao's navy responded well, there were always ships that were unable to respond. They were mercilessly hit by the Daweilongwang ship. With a few bangs, the hull was directly knocked into the air. If you do, you will definitely be killed.

After the two Great Dragon King ships collided with the ship, the hull only shook slightly, and nothing happened. All the sergeants on the ship bent their bows and set arrows, and shot at the surrounding ships without mercy. The dragon god sergeants did not care about the ships , The place where they stand is high, so they can shoot with confidence. On the other hand, Liu Yao's sergeants, their ships must first avoid the Dawei Dragon King ship before they can counterattack, and the place where they stand is low, which is a great disadvantage.

Immediately, the two sides shot arrows back and forth, screaming continuously, most of which were issued by Sergeant Liu Yao, and few Liao Liao were injured by the Dragon God Army. Once injured, they immediately retreated or lay down on the boat However, the sergeants on Liu Yao's ship couldn't see it at all.

Bang bang bang! ! !

In a destructive posture, the two great dragon kingships smashed fifty or sixty military ships in a row, and forcibly smashed a bloody path from Liu Yao's water army. Not too bad, the remaining ships were also knocked away, and then they drove away, farther and farther away in the sight of Liu Yao's military ship, and their ship could not catch up at all...

After Wanghaicheng's fleet left, many water ghosts floated on the river, and all of them had helpless expressions on their faces: Damn, the boat is too fast, they can't even climb on the boat, as for trying to cut through the bottom of the boat There is no way to talk about it, the piercing tactics that were invincible in the past can only stare blankly now.

This inexplicable war actually lasted only a few minutes, but Liu Yao's navy suffered a lot of losses. Sixty or seventy ships were destroyed, most of which were crashed by the big ships of Wanghai City, and some were destroyed because of avoidance. The ones he ran into, more than [-] soldiers in Liu Yao's army died, most of them were shot to death, and there were floating corpses everywhere on the river.

This kind of loss is actually acceptable, but what Liu Yao can't accept is the loss of the Dragon God Army, which didn't even hurt the skin, and Liu Yao still hasn't figured out whose power the Dragon God Army belongs to. Quite aggrieved.

Liu Yao slowly peeled off the cocoon, but he knew a little about the origin of the Dragon God Army, because He Ming also passed by Jianye City last time, but Liu Yao still didn't know which side He Ming belonged to, and there were so many big ships Where it came from is also unknown.

"Why are these big ships so fast?" Liu Yao couldn't think of it.

Ships in this era mostly rely on manpower and sails to move forward. If you go downstream, everything is easy to say, but if you go upstream, the larger the boat needs more oars, and the six-foot-seven-foot boat rolls backwards in the river. It was difficult to move forward, Liu Yao always thought that all ships were like this, but now, the [-]-meter-long ship rolled upside down but still flew fast, which really shocked Liu Yao.

Liu Yao was aggrieved, but He Ming felt extremely happy. This battle really brought out the destructive power of the Dawei Dragon King Ship to the fullest. Thirty big ships faced five hundred warships, passed by calmly, and were damaged. The opponent's sixty or seventy military ships did not hurt themselves, and even the Dragon God Army miraculously did not damage a single person, only a hundred or so were injured. Apart from the miracle, it also shows the power of this combat method.

It is conceivable that as long as Wanghai City continues to maintain its advantages in large ships and steam engines, it will always be in a dominant position in water battles.

ps: ps: Now the daily subscription is no more than 500, which is really scary, forget about cold cakes, wow, in this case, you can only get [-] yuan for six hours a day for a month, hehe ,sad...

Chapter 339 Gan Ning Gan Xingba

"Your Excellency is truly extraordinary." He Ming silently gave Lin Bei 32 likes in his heart.

Lin Bei's prestige in Wanghai City is unimaginably high, so even though Lin Bei didn't know anything about this water battle, his subordinates still found excuses to say that it was Lin Bei's prestige. To Lin Bei's credit, after all, Lin Bei asked the craftsmen to build the steam engine.

The boat passed through the Spring Valley, and then came Wancheng. After passing through Wancheng, the two sides of the river were covered by mountains and forests. This situation will continue until Hukou County, which is almost a thousand miles away. When passing through this section of the river, the sounds of apes on both sides of the river are endless, so this section of the river is called Yuanti Gorge. There are not many people in this section, but when He Ming came last time, he knew that this place was actually There are so many bandits in the river, so I signaled everyone on board to be careful.

After traveling for another hundred miles, the surrounding area was already covered with high mountains, it was getting late, only the sound of the surging river, and monkeys roaring from time to time, the fleet began to slow down.

People in this era generally have night blindness. Although the diet structure of Wanghai City is quite rich now, many people’s night blindness is still not cured. Steamboats can also sail at night, but the speed is much slower. Keep it at about fifteen miles an hour.

He Ming ordered all the ships to light fish fat torches to illuminate the entire hull, and ordered the flag bearers and good-eyed archers to keep patrolling the river to prevent any water ghosts from climbing onto the big ships. son.

Because the fleet is brightly lit, it is no different from shining light bulbs at night like this. Naturally, it will attract the attention of the gangsters on both sides of the Yangtze River. With some strength, ordinary Jiang bandits would not have such thoughts at all.

There are indeed many bandits in this section of the river.Among them was the largest Jiang bandit named Jinfan. The officers and soldiers in Guancheng and Pengze regarded Jinfan as the Jinfan bandit. Their leader was Gan Ning and Gan Xingba. It can dive into the river for three days and nights.Swimming faster than that swimming fish, apart from water skills, Gan Ning and Gan Xingba are also extremely skilled in martial arts, and have unstoppable courage. It is precisely with such a leader that Jinfan Bandit is the most powerful in this section of the river Jiang Bandits.

Jinfan bandits usually do not do production, rely on water to draw water, and make a living by fishing. If there are merchant ships or government troops passing by in the Yangtze River.Then they will rob, they are very numerous, there are more than three people, at this time they are eyeing Wanghai City's fleet.

Last time, the Jinfan Bandit actually noticed the big ship of Wanghai City, but the last time, when the fleet of Wanghai City passed through the Yuanti Gorge, it was daytime, and the speed was very fast, even if the Jiang bandit caught sight of it, there was nothing they could do. .Because they really couldn't catch up, but this time it was different.

Gan Ning has a violent personality.When he is angry, he will beat or kill people, but this person still has many advantages, that is, he is relatively generous, donates money, and when he is not angry, he is also willing to mingle with soldiers.It is precisely because of this that Jinfan Bandits are very efficient. Gan Ning knew the news when Wanghai City first arrived at Yuanti Gorge. Knowing that this is the big fleet that passed through last time, Gan Ning's mind became active .

Hereafter.Sun Quan would reuse Gan Ning because of Gan Ning's ability. Apart from being violent and murderous, Gan Ning has almost no shortcomings. His mind is not like Dian Wei's. He is a man of courage and strategy. Sun Quan once said that Cao Cao had Zhang Liao, and he had Gan Ning. Ning is amazing.

At this time, Gan Ning and more than a dozen Jinfan thieves who are proficient in water were lurking down the river, quietly waiting for the arrival of Wanghai City's fleet.

Gan Ning is quite wise. The last time he watched the fleet of Haicheng City pass by, he already felt the extraordinaryness of the ships. After all, there is only one large ship in this era that can go upstream with amazing speed. Unfortunately, it is because the speed of the ships is too fast Hurry up, so Gan Ning can only look at the ocean and sigh, but this time the fleet slows down, if Gan Ning doesn't take advantage of the situation to loot, he will be ashamed to be a Jinfan thief.

He Ming didn't know that he was going to face a famous historical figure, but because of his duty, Yuanti Gorge was also a place frequently haunted by Jiang bandits, so he ordered the sergeant to be on guard. It can be said that he had already done what should be done, and he himself Didn't remove armor either.

The fleet passed the place where Gan Ning and the others were diving, and heard a few slight "grabbing" sounds. Gan Ning and his men grabbed the side of the boat with flying claws underwater. The rattling sound completely covered up the sound of these flying claws grabbing the boat.
