Chapter 699 Capture Lu Su Alive
This water battle on the Hanshui River was not a big surprise.
In front of the powerful ocean-going fleet, Lu Su's army had little power to fight back, and could only be beaten passively.
Relying on their huge size, sharp ram angles, and cannons to open the way, twenty giant building ships tore a huge hole in Lu Su's army in less than half an hour, and rushed forward brazenly.
The indestructible Lu Su army, in front of the ocean-going fleet, behaved like a weak girl, letting the strong ships and guns ravage them. The arrows shot during the period were like a tickle to the giant building boat.
Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and other strong generals stood at the bow of the ship, they had all the abilities, but they had nowhere to display them.
A wave of artillery struck and hit their flagship accurately. The battleship immediately swayed from side to side and was riddled with holes. Even Gan Ning, who was as brave as Gan Ning, had to jump off the battleship and dive into the water in an attempt to escape.
Staying on the battleship can only be smashed to pieces.
"His grandma's!" The icy river water made Gan Ning and others miserable.
The three sailing battleships that followed were like three fire-breathing giant monsters in the deep sea, constantly swallowing shells, blowing up the enemy warships to pieces, and the flames were raging, and debris was flying all over the sky.
The upper, middle and lower layers of muzzles, hundreds of cannons, are fully fired.
None of the Jiangdong battleships along the way could withstand a wave of battleship attacks. Under the attack of hundreds of shells, one after another warship was blasted into wreckage, and the flames billowed.
There are also Jiangdong warships who are not afraid of death, trying to brave the gunfire and push their own warships that are already on fire into the sailing battleships, so as to "burn the ship" and die together.
Unfortunately, in front of the powerful artillery, not a single warship could successfully enter. Before they approached, they were completely smashed into a sieve and slowly sank to the bottom of the river.
The lives of hundreds of sailors were buried together.
Lu Su's army had no morale and strong will, and it began to collapse under such repeated blows. The giant building ships, warships, and red horse boats that followed were happily reaping the results of the battle.
On the cold and windy river, there are burning warship wreckage everywhere. Taking advantage of the wind, the fire burned more and more vigorously. No matter how hard the soldiers tried to save them, it was of no avail.
They can only jump into the water one by one with hatred, so as not to be buried in the sea of fire.
The wooden boards flying out from the battleship covered the river with a full layer, which is truly spectacular. Countless human heads, ups and downs on the river, they lie on the wooden boards, trying to survive.
The piercing river water is undoubtedly hell for the soldiers who fell into the water. The chill in the water is like ice needles, piercing their skin membranes, muscles, and even bone marrow.
If soaked for a long time, even if you are saved, you are afraid that the root cause of the disease will also fall.
...
Jia Xu stood on the deck of Longshou, staring at the tragic situation on the river, dumbfounded.
As the saying goes, tit for tat.
More than ten days ago, the Jiangdong navy completely buried Cao Jun's navy in Chibi, cutting off Cao Cao's ambition to cross the river. Fengshui took turns, and the Jiangdong Navy, who was still majestic and majestic before, followed in the footsteps of Cao Cao's Navy.
The entire fleet was almost wiped out.
On the vast river, there is no Jiangdong battleship that can sail normally. Facing the powerful speed of the ocean-going fleet, even if they wanted to escape from the battlefield, they couldn't.
There is a clever one who wants to dive into the water and go ashore quietly.
How could Zheng He let them get what they wished, the frogman brigade was already ready to go, and launched a frenzied killing at the bottom of the water. After a great battle, only a few lucky ones were able to escape.
On the surface of the river, countless corpses floated up and down, and the blood stained the surface of the river, which was abnormally bright red.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even if Jia Xu was killed, he wouldn't believe that there is such a powerful navy in the world. Ouyang Shuo's previous promise to Cao Cao really didn't hold water at all.
For the upcoming battle of Chibi, Jia Xu had a little more confidence out of thin air.
Naturally, Ouyang Shuo was not as emotional as Jia Xu. Such a result did not exceed his expectations. What he is concerned about now is the life and death of Lu Su, Lu Meng and other generals.
During the war, the artillery fire was relentless.
Ouyang Shuo couldn't forcefully request the fleet to pick a target to attack. He only hoped that Jiangdong's generals would be more tenacious and be "captured" by the frogman brigade.
As the battlefield sweeps, good news and bad news keep coming.
Lu Su and Lu Meng, Ouyang Shuo's most valued generals, were successfully captured by the frogman brigade and brought to the temporary prison on Longshou, where they were temporarily detained.
Thus, the goal is half achieved.
The bodies of Ling Tong and several other young generals were salvaged one by one. The artillery fire is ruthless, not everyone is lucky to escape, if one is not in time, he may be hit by the artillery at any time.
Finally, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, a pair of fierce generals, have not been found yet, and their whereabouts are unknown.
"Search for me thoroughly, they must still be in the water." Ouyang Shuo looked firm.
If Gan Ning and Zhou Tai escaped, it would be a complete failure for Ouyang Shuo.
Both of these two fierce generals are familiar with water and have excellent physical fitness. Ouyang Shuo has reason to believe that they must still be lurking in a certain corner of the battlefield, ready to escape in the chaos.
It is even said that they are likely to be camouflaged.
On the surface of the vast river, there were corpses strewn across the fields, wreckage of warships, and debris of planks everywhere. It was not easy for a person with excellent water skills to find a hiding place on the battlefield.
"promise!"
Zheng He received the order, did not dare to neglect, and arranged for the frogman brigade and the red horse boat to be dispatched. One is at the bottom of the water and the other is on the surface of the river, forming a huge search network, and the investigation continues all the way.
"Live to see people, die to see corpses."
With the commander's instructions, the frogmen and the elite sailors widened their eyes one by one, not letting go of any suspicious objects, and not missing any corners.
Corpses swollen by the river water were pushed away, countless floating planks were cleared away, and even the wreckage of the battleship was searched carefully.
According to the words of the leader of the team, "I'm all wide-eyed, don't even let a small shrimp go."
In this way, it can be described as a net of heaven and earth.
...
In an inconspicuous corner on the northwest side of the battlefield, under a floating corpse, a pair of cold eyes silently watched the enemy's search team, and the big knife in his hand was quietly clenched.
The icy river water did not destroy his will. The already slightly stiff body still contained astonishing power, ready to erupt at any time to kill the enemy.
He knew that this time he might not be able to escape.
Just when the search team was about to approach the floating corpse, there was a flash of knife light on the surface of the river, and two swipes, that is, the four lives were confessed here, and they fell completely.
This person's sword skills are really extraordinary.
In the hand, it has such lethal power despite the resistance of the water flow, it is really shocking.
"Ah~~~"
The soldiers who were hit screamed before dying.
All of a sudden, there was a stir.
"There is a situation!"
"He's here, hurry up and surround him!"
"Catch alive!"
One order after another, miscellaneous but not chaotic, was passed to the front line.
The confrontation on the front line is still going on.
Every moment, soldiers are killed.
The surface of the river that had just calmed down once again set off bloody waves.
The light of the knife flickered, and life and death were momentary.
In less than ten minutes, hundreds of fierce soldiers had already surrounded the "Assassins" in the water.
In this way, the situation was finally brought under control.
It is only a matter of time before this person is taken down. No matter how ferocious a tiger is, trapped by a pack of wolves, it is only dying, and it will never break out.
If it wasn't for the explanation above, the "assassin" in the water would have been killed long ago.
At this moment, there was also a scream from the other side of the battlefield: "Ah~~~"
"It's another one!"
"Quick, don't let him get away!"
The two heroes in the water, one east and one west, both launched a surprise attack.
For them, this is the last glory. Just like a tiger, maintaining the last dignity. Once present, they are ready to sacrifice.
Unfortunately, even death is not that easy.
After nearly an hour of fighting, the two heroes finally exhausted and were captured alive by the soldiers.
"Catch it!"
"Quick, send it to the flagship!"
Although more than a hundred people were sacrificed, the soldiers were still elated and proud, as if they had won a big battle, like a hunting team catching prey.
For making such a great contribution, what awaits them is a huge reward. Not to mention, this is the person Junhou specified. It is the greatest honor in the army to be able to make contributions to the monarch.
Ouyang Shuo got the news and rushed to the deck with Jia Xu.
"Is it them?" Ouyang Shuo asked Jia Xu.
"That's right, it's Gan Ning and Zhou Tai."
Although the two were covered in blood and stains everywhere, Jia Xu still recognized them at a glance.
"Okay!" Ouyang Shuo was overjoyed, "Stay here, bandage their wounds, then ask a doctor to treat them, take care of them, and don't have any accidents."
"promise!"
The soldiers drove two people and retreated as they said.
So far, this river encounter has come to an end with the complete victory of the ocean-going fleet.
The four generals Lu Su, Lu Meng, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai were all wiped out. In time, it is not impossible for Nario Yangshuo to rule.
At the end of the war, the fleet set sail again, and the goal of the next stop was Chibi.
There, a group of people with ulterior motives are patiently waiting for the arrival of the fleet.
The road ahead is still full of thorns.
*************
At the end of the battle, Ouyang Shuo's battle contribution value has increased by more than 100,000 points, firmly occupying the first place in the battle contribution list, which is really eye-catching.
The change in the leaderboard naturally attracted the attention of interested people.
The hearts that Bai Hua and the others were holding were finally quietly let go. The battle contribution list has not changed in the past two days, and they are still worried about what happened to the ocean-going fleet.
After a little leaning, Cao Cao got the news, and his expression was excited.
Qin Feng, Caiyun Zhinan and the others looked at the one at the top of the list, their expressions were solemn, their eyes flickered, and they didn't know what they were thinking about.
An invisible pressure rushed towards his face.
The ones who shocked the most were the lords of Sun Liu's camp.
Xiongba, Zhanlang and the others looked at the leaderboard and sighed in their hearts, "We've been caught up after all!"
