Chapter 207 A shocking battle (2)

Translated by Gae about it Wasn’t that the thing that aled to hit his horse and splatter its head onto Jiang Qin’s face Jiang Qin does not want to experience that ever again

Now every shi+p has at least 5 of those things As there were about 20 shi+ps, the aht of itQin insisted on attacking “He only have 100 ballistae! He can only shoot 100 giant arrows and kill several hundred soldiers! What about the rest!” Jiang Qin tried to calm himself down He is the commander of the Sun Ce’s Army He is not allowed to panic! He tried to diffuse the situation by clai that the ballistae would not do much

On the other hand, Lu Su was not as opti Qin Can the ballistae only shoot people? He ree tower Although the arrow e tower, it needs to have a strong power to destroy the tower

“Now is the ti as he co was ’s order, the qualified soldiers pulled the string of the ballistae

“Fire!” Following Gan Ning’s shout, Lu Su saw the scene he was afraid of seeing Countless huge arroere separated from the ballistae Arrows the size of trees flew out An iron-copper compound was also added onto the tip of these arrows Both the arrows and the ballistae were prepared specially for this These were not prototypes like the one used on Wan Cheng but finalized models meant for naval combat

Swoosh All 5 ballistae from all 20 shi+ps shot the ballista arrow

Boom Boom Boom The Sun Ce’s Army’s navy had bad luck The hundred ballista arrows did not aim at them but at the floor of their shi+ps The Sun Ce’s Army had a more intensive and packed formation The benefits of this type of forer mental pressure on the eneainst the ballistae The arrows fired fro in formation on the shi+p was no easy task Even if the floor was not slippery, the shi+p would constantly shake on the river Yangtze River

“What!” Jiang Qin and Lu Su stared in amaze The wooden floors of the shi+p could not stop these arrows and even the metallic layer on soh

Those outside the shi+p were still okay but the same could not be said to those at the hull of the shi+p This is because the shi+p could not just rely on the sails to ood, the shi+p would stopthe shi+p and the hull Soh the shi+p and into their heads After the hull was shot, the shi+p turned into a laughable state The river water flowed into the cabin and the shi+p started to sink If it was any other tie of the river and do eency repairs Unfortunately, they were at war and the shi+p was in the middle of the river They could only watch the shi+p sink slowly

The towered shi+ps were still okay The ones with bad luck were the sh to completely destroy it They sank into the water without resistance Fortunately, the soldiers were knowledgeable ater and was able to swi Qin issued the order He also issued the order for the surrounding shi+p to support those that sank into the water and to also salvage anything they could If they do not abandon shi+p now, their shi+ps will beco Qin’s soldiers shouted froshi+p One by one, the other towered shi+ps moved in to save the soldiers More than 10 soldiers were saved for every s’s deputy was no longer in a panicked state The other soldiers on the other towered shi+ps were the sa that era, the basic et a stronger and et closers, the soldiers would shoot arrows to kill as many enemies as they can After that, the helmsman would ram the shi+ps and attempt to knock the enemy shi+p over The one with the most shi+ps at the end is the winner

Now the soldiers have not even started shooting nor’s ballistae already started it’s volley and turned 5-6 towered shi+ps into hedgehogs and another sank another 5-6 shi+ps If Jiang Qin had arranged the shi+ps in a row, there would have been more shi+ps that were destroyed

“There is nothing pitiful about it!” Gan Ning was also amazed at the power of the ballistae Before the battle even started, they have already eliminated 6 towered shi+ps and at least 10 s were told about this earlier, he would have scoffed ‘Before the enemy could even touch you, you would have already eliminated 6 towered shi+ps! What kind of dream is this? Those six shi+ps would have at least 2,000 soldiers! To feed all these soldiers to the fishes in a moments tihty ballistae on the shi+p told Gan Ning that the story was not a drea’s navy were xia navy It is inevitable for theainst the opponent that used to bully them especially when their opponents have 30,000 soldiers Gan Ning himself was not certain of the result Naturally the common soldiers would have it worse The first salvo of the ballistae was just a test and each ballistae arroas fired at random The ballistae were not calibrated and the soldiers fired them on instinct

If they could defeat 2,000 soldiers on the test run, what about the second and third volley?

Gan Ning was now confident and no longer a ga issued the order and the deputy nodded The flag signaled again and the 20 shi+ps changed directions

“Withdrawing?!” Jiang Qin’s forces were already shot with the volley and have just reorganized the troops Noanted to rush towards Gan Ning but Gan Ning started to withdraw

“General Jiang Qin! We cannot let the Qin Lu Su does not know much about naval battles but he knows about the ballistae The ballistae would require tie, it is also quite heavy If a warshi+p can put 300-400 soldiers, putting 5 ballistae would only allow them to put 200 soldiers at hting force of the shi+p would only be about 100 soldiers On the other hand, Sun Ce’s shi+ps would have at least 300 soldiers Gan Ning would be finished the ’s shi+p

The advantages of nu’s forces would only meet a dead end

“All units, advance! We need to catch up to Gan Ning!” Jiang Qin also understood the reason Loading the ballista was very troubleso like on Wan Cheng The consuh and the ballistae would take up a lot of space This was one of the cons of using the ballistae, especially during naval battles

Jiang Qin was shocked the moment the battle started Before he could even reach his enemies, he already loss 6 towered shi+ps and 10 warshi+ps It happened so quickly If the a as the time needed to drink a cup of tea, the ar in the water Now that the ballista is reloading, it is Jiang Qin’s chance to approach Catch up and stop the cannot escape

On the surface of the water, which boat is the fastest? It is the warshi+ps Warshi+ps, or assault shi+ps, were speedboats The front of the shi+p was thin for the purpose of reducing the water resistance It is also very fast as there were a large nuht during co
