Chapter 761 Battle of Nanhu County 8

Shi Gang did not expect that he would still be able to participate in the battle after being appointed as a grain transport officer.

Or the water battle on Dongting Lake.

He was worried and excited.

There is no general in the army who is not eager to fight. This is their ladder of promotion.

Shi Gang was not worried about his battle, and he was mentally prepared even if he died in battle, but he was worried that the grain transport ship would be intercepted by the Shun army.

Zhao Shuai is still in Nanhu County. Without this batch of food, life will be difficult for the tens of thousands of brothers in Nanhu County.

It doesn't matter if he is defeated or killed in battle, but he cannot lose this batch of food.

If you want to keep food, you must first fetter the Shunguo navy.

Fight!

Xu Fan has more than thirty large warships, and they are still complete warships.

However, Shi Gang only had ten ships, and they were still carrying half a ship of food, so they were at a considerable disadvantage in terms of speed.

The ballistas and stone cannons on Shi Gang's ship were not fully equipped, and they had no absolute advantage when facing Xu Fan.

So where did Shi Gang get the confidence to defeat Xu Fan.

This result is possible in only one case.

Xu Fan and Shi Gang engaged in a boarding battle, while Qian Jun fought in close combat with Shun Jun on the boat.

The soldiers of Qianjun could not exert 100% of their combat power on the rocking warship. The soldiers of Shunjun performed better than the soldiers of Qianjun. Half a month of training still had some effect.

However, their own combat power was not as good as that of the Ganjun, and fighting on the ship was a struggle.

Shi Gang thought that the only way was to engage in close combat, but how could Xu Fan not know his own advantages.

When he caught up, he could see that Shi Gang's boat couldn't run fast, especially after it dispersed, the speed was three points slower.

"Hey, the speed of the boat is just a little bit different, that's the difference between heaven and hell!"

Xu Fan did nothing else during the half month of training, except for two things.

Let the soldiers practice fighting in formation on the ship;

Let the soldiers practice operating the bed crossbow on the ship.

Now that his boat is faster than Shi Gang's, of course he has to use long-range kite flying tactics.

Shi Gang felt a little anxious as he looked at the Shunjun warships that were surrounding but not approaching.

"Submissive dog, you are a bunch of cowards. If you have the ability to fight with me for real, I will take off your head and use it as a ball!"

Shi Gang's body shape is not majestic, and his face is not rough either. This sentence seems a bit inconsistent coming from his mouth.

Shi Gang's voice floated far and wide across Dongting Lake, but did not reach Xu Fan's ears.

Maybe it passed by your ears, or maybe it was blown away halfway.

The flag officer on Xu Fan's flagship kept issuing orders, keeping distance, and shooting with a crossbow.

More than half of the more than thirty Shunguo warships were able to attack Shi Gang's ship, while the rest could only keep looking for positions and shoot a few crossbow arrows from the gaps between friendly ships.

Shi Gang bravely stood on the deck of the flagship and ordered the herald to convey his orders continuously.

"Fight back!"

"Breakout to the south!"

"Prioritize attacking enemy ships in the south, concentrate your fire, and sink them!"

It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure ten of them.

As long as the damaged warship does not sink, it can still exert considerable combat power, unless the crossbow on the ship happens to be destroyed.

Pointing the Arrancar was a good choice, because Xu Fan didn't want to fight Shi Gang in close combat, so he didn't let warships from other directions come to entangle him immediately.

In a breakout battle, you are afraid of fighting. As long as you are entangled, you will suffer heavy losses even if you can break through.

Shi Gang caught Xu Fan's flaw, and he led ten warships to charge southward.

The Shunguo warships in the south are not to be outdone. The general has not allowed us to engage in close combat with you, but we are not afraid of you rushing over either.

"Stand back and keep your distance!"

"Shoot the boat at the front for me. Shoot whoever rushes forward first!"

"Focus on the ship at the front!"

Gu Sui\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;The Shunguo Navy also reacted very quickly. They want to use some points to break the surface. Okay, then I will focus on attacking your frontmost point.

Beat the point until it's blunt and see how you can break the surface!

Shi Gang didn't have a good way to deal with this. He only had ten ships, and one of them had to be at the front.

Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven!

rush!

Shi Gang's flagship did not have the front line, but was in the second echelon.

If the warship in front is sunk, his flagship can rush up immediately and act as an arrow.

At this time, the Qianjun warship, which was rushing forward as an arrow, was full of fighting spirit.

"The general is right behind us. Who says grain ships can't penetrate the enemy's formation? Charge!"

The soldiers in the cabin were shaking with all their strength, and the soldiers on the deck were manipulating crossbows and small ballistae with all their strength, constantly attacking the enemy ships in front.

The Shunguo navy was not to be outdone. For a while, crossbow arrows kept flying over the battlefield, and eventually they shot into the ship's plank or fell into the lake.

That is to say, the depth of this water area exceeds the diving depth of ordinary people. Otherwise, there must be many water bandits coming here to salvage crossbow arrows.

Qianguo's crossbow arrows are two meters long, at least nearly one meter are made of fine iron, and can be used as a spear when picked up.

It can also be used to craft other weapons with a little bit of back-melting.

Xu Fan and Shi Gang didn't care about the consumption of crossbow arrows at this time. The crossbow arrows fired by both sides created a giant flowing net in space for a while.

Looking down from the air, it was obvious that Shi Gang was more willing to give up.

First of all, Qianguo's material preparations are more sufficient than Shunguo's, especially water warfare materials.

If Shi Gang hadn't expected to encounter an interception and brought half a boatload of crossbows, he wouldn't be afraid of fighting Xu Fan's navy at a distance!

Now the crossbows on the warship led by Shi Gang were slightly insufficient, but he was not stingy at all.

"Shoot all the crossbows on the ship for me!"

"Why don't you cum now and keep it for the New Year?"

Shi Gang knew very well that if he could not successfully break through, no matter how many crossbow arrows he left behind, he would only be able to defeat the enemy.

Xu Fan especially wanted to keep Shi Gang, but he obviously had more considerations.

His enemies are not just Shi Gang, but also many other cadres.

And now there are not many docks on the south bank of Dongting Lake that are still under the control of the Shun Army.

Xu Fan's next trip back to Nanhu County for supplies will be a more complicated matter.

Therefore, he still has some restraint on the unlimited use of crossbows.

It was precisely because of his courage and heroism that Shi Gang was not wiped out by Xu Fan immediately.

But the losses were heavy.

Shi Gang's persistence was meaningful. He attracted the attention of most of Xu Fan's navy, giving the grain ship full of grain more hope of evacuating.

At the same time, it also bought a lot of time for the Imperial Guard Battalion and Shenwu Guards who had caught up from Dongting County.

After Xu Fan heard the scout ship's report of discovering Qian Guo's scout ship, his heart was full of pity and anger.

Just a little bit closer!

Xu Fan looked at Shi Gangbu, who had only three ships left in front of him, and secretly gritted his teeth.

Just hold on a little longer and sink them before retreating!

The reconnaissance ship of Qianjun has just been discovered. Perhaps the main force of Qianjun has not yet entered the lake?

Xu Fan thought this possibility was still very high, so he decided to take the risk and give it a try.

"Keep chasing, Lu Ning, lead the ship and keep an eye on the rear. If you find the main force of the Qian army, report it immediately!"

"yes."

Xu Fan left five ships for Lu Ning and continued to pursue Shi Gang with other warships.

At this time, Shi Gang didn't know what happened next. Even if the Shunguo Navy lost a few warships, he couldn't find it.

Because he didn't have time to look back and observe the Shunguo Navy pursuing him from behind.

Shi Gang only has one thought now, run!

If Xu Fan doesn't catch up, he won't lose this battle!
