    Gan Ning glanced coldly at the battleship where Zang Ba was, curled his lips and muttered disdainfully: "Does this deserve to be called the Navy? It's just a mob!" Then Gan Ning fiercely lifted the two halberds in his hands.  He slashed the air forcefully, turned around and shouted to the Qilin elites under his command: "Brothers, let us show the enemy with actions what the real navy is!" Tens of thousands of Qilin elites immediately raised their hands high.  The swordsmen and swordsmen let out a short roar in unison, as if challenging the Wei army's navy.  Zhengzhengzheng¡ª¡ª The next moment, headed by Gan Ning's Qilin battleship, all the Qilin navy warships above the rank of Qilin, equipped with red crossbows, opened fire at the same time, hundreds of red crossbows fired a burst of  With a dense clanging sound, nearly ten thousand powerful crossbows roared away from the cannon tips and fired hard at the Wei navy led by Zang Ba.  Zang Ba's navy was more than a thousand steps away from Gan Ning's Qilin navy. Such a distance should be a safe distance on the Yellow River, but under the influence of advanced weapons like the red ballista  In front of them, a thousand steps was obviously no longer enough to ensure the safety of Zang Ba and others.  Since its inception, the red ballista has demonstrated its important role as an ultra-long-range weapon in such a large-scale water battle for the first time.  Seeing the powerful crossbows shooting from the sky, Zang Ba felt extremely shocked.  Zang Ba has heard the name of the red ballista countless times, but this is the first time he has seen it with his own eyes.  As the saying goes, seeing is believing. When he witnessed the power of the red ballista from a thousand steps away, he truly realized how terrifying the red ballista was.  "Raise the shield! Raise the shield quickly! Spread out the formation and don't get together! Reduce the area of ??stress!" Zang Ba shouted at the top of his lungs. He tried to use his shouts to reduce some casualties to the navy officers and soldiers under his command.  Zang Ba has no other choice now. The warships on the water are no better than on land, and the flexibility of warships is definitely much worse than that of war horses.  It was absolutely impossible to dodge all the red-clothed crossbows, so Zang Ba's shouts seemed particularly powerless.  In fact, what Zang Ba didn't know was that when everyone faced the red ballista for the first time, they would almost always command the troops according to the conventional method of avoiding arrows, raising their shields for protection and evacuating the formation at the same time, but under the red-clad Jin  Under the dense ultra-long-range shooting of crossbows, the effect of this method is close to zero.  This is something that countless people have verified with their lives and blood.  Crack, crack, puff - Nearly ten thousand powerful crossbows fell from the sky. With the huge inertia, each red crossbow carried a strong impact, fiercely impacting the warships of the Wei army.  The Wei army's navy standing on the warship was limited by the deck area of ??the warship. It was impossible for them to move around on a large scale. They could only try their best to avoid the shooting crossbows in the limited space. However, no matter how hard they tried to hide, the deck's  The area is only so big.  Nearly one-third of the warships at the forefront of the Wei army's water formation were surrounded by red crossbows. How easy was it to survive among tens of thousands of crossbows?  So.  On the warships at the forefront of the Wei army's water formation, various sounds were heard.  The sound of the crossbow piercing the body, the sound of the hull being destroyed, the screams of the Wei army, the sound of the soldiers losing their balance and falling into the Yellow River after being hit, and the water of the Yellow River pouring down the holes pierced by the crossbow.  The gurgling sound of the entering warship various sounds merged together.  A soul-spiriting song sounded on the Yellow River like a hell on earth.  With one powerful crossbow shot, the Qilin Navy achieved remarkable results.  The Wei army and navy were under this round of firing.  Thousands of people were hit and fell into the Yellow River along the sides of the ship's hull, becoming ghosts at the bottom of the river.  Many warships were directly destroyed by red crossbows because they were not strong enough, causing a large number of Wei soldiers to fall into the water. Among them were some unlucky Wei soldiers who originally had hope of escaping, but unfortunately their fate was not good and they were destroyed.  The mast or other heavy objects that broke off the hull of his own ship hit his body, and he was swallowed up by the roaring waves of the Yellow River before he could even take a breath.  Or maybe he was hit in the vital part of the head and fell into a coma. Along with the mast, he fell straight to the bottom of the river.  Gan Ning saw that the red ballistae could play such a huge role in a large-scale water battle, his eyes suddenly shone with excitement, he waved his arms and shouted loudly: "Continuously fire the red ballistae! Until our army gets closer!  " Tens of thousands of Qilin Marines shouted in unison, and then according to Gan Ning's order, the Qilin elite responsible for loading the crossbow completed the loading as quickly as possible, and then quickly changed positions and moved the red crossbow's  The control rights were given to the comrades behind them; the Kirin elites who had been concentrating on guarding the back immediately took two steps forward, and after a slight adjustment, launched the second air attack.  While the first round of powerful crossbows caused damage to the Wei army's navy, the Northern Han team, which was equipped with a pedal-driven water advancement machine, had already sailed nearly a hundred steps on the river. Therefore, when theyWhen the second round of bombardment started, the range of the red crossbows was shortened a lot, and they could already carry out long-range strikes against Zang Ba's Chinese army.  Seeing nearly ten thousand powerful crossbows coming through the air, Zang Ba couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart, and a hint of bitterness appeared on his face.  It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw. With the warships, soldiers, and long-range weapons inferior to those of her opponents, it would be extremely difficult for Zang Ba to defeat the Qilin Navy.  What's more, Zang Ba can't be called a "smart woman" in the field of water warfare.  However, Zang Ba soon had no time to think about these problems anymore, because the red-clothed crossbow had already arrived above his head, and if he didn't dodge, he would become a living target.  Mao bent forward and took two steps forward. Zang Ba dodged a javelin-shaped crossbow, then slashed hard to the side with the sword in his hand, knocking away another crossbow. Then his right leg was on the deck.  He kicked hard, slid his body to the left, rolled twice on the spot, and avoided the third crossbow that was fired at him.  After dodging three powerful crossbows in succession, the dense group of powerful crossbows was coming to an end. When Zang Ba stood up and looked around, the bitterness on his face became even more intense.  Because Zang Ba discovered that within his sight, none of the dozens of warships under his command were intact. Even the giant warship under his feet was already riddled with holes.  , water is seeping everywhere, and I believe it will turn into a dilapidated sunken ship before long.  Not to mention, under the second round of powerful crossbow fire, almost the entire naval battle formation had been destroyed.  The front army and the middle army were completely defeated, and there was no longer any formation to speak of. Only the rear army still maintained its fighting formation for the time being. As long as the Kirin Navy launched another round of shooting, the rear army would definitely be difficult to save.  In addition to the damage to the warships, the casualties on the personnel were also very heavy. There were a total of 15,000 people in the Chinese army and the front army. Most of these people were shot dead by the red crossbows, and only a small half fell into the enemy's arms.  In the water of the Yellow River, this small half of the people were among them.  Another half of the people were hit by the fallen mast, lost the ability to swim, and were buried at the bottom of the river. It is roughly estimated that there are less than 3,000 Wei soldiers swimming back.  The death of a large number of Wei soldiers has dyed the surface of the Yellow River red, much like the grape wine that is a specialty of the Western Regions.  Zang Ba sighed helplessly, then threw away his weapon and jumped into the Yellow River.  He knew that if he didn't leave the dilapidated warship now, after the warship sank, it would create an irresistible whirlpool, and he would not be able to leave if he wanted to.  After jumping into the water.  A stream of river water filled with the strong smell of blood and mixed with a large amount of yellow sand poured into Zang Ba's mouth, making the bitterness and helplessness in his heart become even more intense.  Seeing Zang Ba abandon the ship and dive into the water.  Gan Ning stood on the Qilin Battleship and let out a hearty laugh.  Being able to push the opponent's general to this level without any effort, this battle was simply too enjoyable.  After laughing, Gan Ning put away his smile.  The expression on his face changed to a decisive and violent one: "Speed ??up! Rush over, knock over the enemy's remaining ships, and use the racket to pierce their rear!" Under Gan Ning's order, the Qilin Navy  Led by the Qilin battleship, all the giant building ships and stern battleships were lined up together to form the best charge in land battles. The speed was increased to the limit, and with a powerful impact, they used the ram installed on the bow to attack the ship.  The Wei army's warship, which was slowly sinking, hit hard.  The warships controlled by the Qilin Navy were all designed by Ao Lie based on the warships of later generations. They have outstanding abilities in resisting attacks and whirlpools.  Therefore, Gan Ning was not afraid that the collision would cause any damage to his warships, and launched a strong attack on the Wei army in the most brutal and direct way.  The warships of the Wei army, which were already in pieces, groaned under the impact of the warships controlled by the Qilin navy. Then they were completely shattered by the collision and turned into piles of rotten wood floating on the water.  .  After rushing through the dilapidated battleship group of the Wei army, Gan Ning's Qilin battleship was the first to arrive in front of the water formation of the Wei army's rear army.  With a bloodthirsty glare in his eyes, Gan Ning yelled at the soldiers who were already prepared: "Smash them to pieces!" The Qilin elites guarding under the racket pole immediately untied the tendons on the racket pole,  The ironwood racket pole hanging in the air, after losing the restraint of the tendon, whizzed down from the sky, just like the tower crane commonly seen on construction sites in later generations, suddenly lost control, and moved towards the water surface with alarming momentum.  come down.  Twelve racket sticks were violently shot down in all directions. The people on the Wei Jun warship looked at the rapidly falling racket sticks in horror. They even had no strength to move their legs to avoid. Courage had already disappeared from them.  Their bodies completely disappeared, like a racket pole that collapsed from a sky pillar, depriving them of all their courage.  Boom boom boom¡ª¡ª Under the heavy impact of the racket stick, the people around the Qilin battleship?? Wei warships were smashed to pieces at the same time, and the wooden hulls immediately fell apart. Amidst the flying wood chips, the original appearance of the warships was no longer visible. Naturally, the Wei warships standing on the warships could not escape the bad luck.  They were crushed into pieces by the racket pole.  Zang Ba, who had just swam back to the nearby area, was swept up into the air by the waves caused by the impact of the remaining force of the racket stick. His figure was clearly seen by Taishi Ci who was standing on the giant boat. Taishi Ci immediately drew out his bow and arrow and pointed towards  Zang Ba, who was in the air with nowhere to rely on, shot a fatal arrow.  Poof¡ª¡ª Taishi Ci¡¯s sharp arrow accurately hit Zang Ba¡¯s heart, turning Zang Ba, a famous general who had been famous in Qingzhou for nearly two decades, into another soul buried in the Yellow River.  (To be continued)
