Chapter 57
The most commonly used method of warfare in naval warfare is fire attack.

Because the ancient ships were all made of wood, if you use fire to attack and burn the ship, a large area can be burned with one fire.

It is precisely because of this that naval warfare generally prepares fire starters such as sulfur, saltpeter, and kerosene on board.

They kept these igniters properly so that they could defeat the enemy at critical times.

However, when others attack with fire, they burn the enemy's ship.

Gan Ning is different!When he attacked with fire, he actually burned his own boat first.

Before, Zhu Ran also said that the most feared thing in the water army team's long snake formation is fire attack.

Once it burns, it is a burning company.

Contrary to Zhu Ran's expectation, Gan Ning actually took the initiative to burn his own boat.

At this time, the fire takes advantage of the wind, and the wind helps the fire.

Gan Ning's long snake formation is like a fire dragon sweeping in.

On top of Jiangdong's flagship.

Looking at the scene in front of them, Zhu Ran and Zhu Yi were still in shock.

After so many years of water warfare, I have burned the enemy's ships before, but I have never seen my own ship burned.

"Didn't this Gan Ning go crazy and actually burn his own boat!" At this time, Zhu Yi was still puzzled.

Zhu Yi is at best a third-rate general, how could he understand the thoughts of the top general Gan Ning.

As for Zhu Ran, in history, Soochow also learned from the Five Tiger Generals of Shu Han, and the five good generals of Cao Wei ranked out one of the 24 Tiger Generals of Soochow.

Zhu Ran ranks among the 24 generals of Soochow Wu, but despite this, Zhu Ran is only at the level of a second-rate general.

Even among the second-rate military generals, he is not considered top-notch.

Zhu Ran is much stronger than Zhu Yi no matter what.

"wrong!"

"Crash, Gan Ning burned his own boat to die with us!" Zhu Ran suddenly realized, and shouted in panic.

At this time, both sides set up full sails and charged at full speed.

At a distance of less than [-] zhang, Gan Ning set fire to his boat.

Now, the two sides are still in a state of charge, and it won't be long before the ships of the two sides collide.

At that time, the fire that Gan Ning and the others put on will spread to their side.

"Quick, turn around!"

"Turn the rudder, turn around, turn the rudder!" Zhu Ran shouted loudly with all his strength.

Steer?

U-turn?

How can it be so easy!

When Gan Ning set fire to the boat, the distance between the two sides was only three hundred zhang.

Zhu Ran and Zhu Yi didn't react at first, but when they did, the two sides were no longer close enough.

At this time, Zhu Ran, Zhu Yi and the others were standing on the deck, even being able to catch up with the scorching heat wave.

At this distance, turning the rudder and turning around are simply impossible.

Not to mention the ships of the Three Kingdoms period, even modern ships may not be able to make it in time.

Turn the rudder, turn around, impossible.

Now, we can only slow down the speed to reduce the strength of the collision between the two sides.

Hit the fire boat, the harder you hit, the deeper they will be in the sea of ​​fire.

"Quick, lower the sails."

"Order to lower the sail, no, cut the sail, cut off the rope directly." Zhu Ran issued an emergency military order.

At this time, it is too late for you to lower the sails.

When you slowly lower the sail, the day lily is cold.

For the current plan, if you want to slow down, you can only cut the sails.

Cutting off the sail rope directly is currently the only way to slow down.

Zhu Ran ordered the sails to be cut, and the speed of the Jiangdong Navy ships actually slowed down.

However, this time is too late.

Because the two sides are about to collide.

Gan Ning had already laid his flagship across the river, and used the direct side to meet the ramming angle of Zhu Ran's flagship.

This is also one of Gan Ning's plans.

"Boom."

"Boom! Rumble!"

Violent impacts sounded continuously, and the Jiangdong Navy ship slammed into the fire dragon array under Gan Ning's cloth.

The three flagships of the Jiangdong Navy collided with Gan Ning's flagship.

The three flagships of the Jiangdong Navy all had iron rams on them. The iron rams collided with Gan Ning's flagship and were directly inlaid on it.

Flagship hits flagship, big ship hits big ship, and small boat hits small boat.
All of a sudden, the surface of the river was in chaos.

Flames shot up into the sky everywhere, and shouts of killing were everywhere.

On Gan Ning's flagship, other places were covered, because no sulfur or kerosene was sprinkled on the deck.

All the soldiers gathered on the deck.

The ramming angles of Jiangdong's three flagships collided with Gan Ning's flagship. At this time, the four flagships stuck together in the shape of a plum blossom.

"Seize the ship!" Gan Ning raised his arms and gave an order.

This was Gan Ning's plan, to abandon all his ships and capture the three flagships in Jiangdong.

Jiangdong's three flagships were equipped with iron rams, so although the fire on Gan Ning's ship was huge, it couldn't burn the iron.

It is impossible for the fire to spread on the Jiangdong flagship.

Burning one's own boats and holding back the Jiangdong water army with a fire dragon array can also cause chaos in the Jiangdong water army.

Then, take the opportunity to seize the ship.

However, due to Gan Ning's limited force, he could only seize one ship first.

Once the troops are dispersed, it will be over.

"Brother, which one will you take first?" Ding Chong held his big knife, looking eager to try.

When Gan Ning gave the order to burn the boat, everyone in the Jinfan Camp did not hesitate.

They believed in Gan Ning and believed that Gan Ning was invincible.

Now, as expected.

Gan Ning's move of fire dragon array can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The fleet of the Jiangdong Navy was divided, so that their strength in strength could not be brought into play.

Together with the fire, the Jiangdong water army was in a state of chaos.

Take that ship first?
Is that even a question?
Of course it is Zhu Ran's flagship.

To kill the general and capture the flag, it is natural to seize the flagship first and kill Zhu Ran, the Jiangdong general.

"Of course it's the one with the flag in command!"

"Brothers, follow me to fight!" Gan Ning took the lead with two halberds in his hand, jumped up from the deck and landed on Zhu Ran's flagship.

This kind of battle to seize the ship is a piece of cake for Jinfan Battalion.

Although Jiangdong's flagship is more sophisticated, in terms of height, the flagships of both sides are about the same height.

With a single leap, they were able to jump onto the Jiangdong flagship.

Back then, when they were Jinfan thieves, they were able to capture large merchant ships ten times their size in small boats.

Gan Ning took the lead by example, and Jinfanying also followed suit.

Gan Ning's Jinfan Battalion is not ordinary, it is the ancient version of the Marine Corps.

These brothers in Jinfan Camp are the best of the best.

All of these people are young adults in their 20s and 30s.

Moreover, all of them are powerful and powerful in martial arts.It would not be an exaggeration to say that they are all white stripes in the waves and dragons in the water.

In the blink of an eye, Gan Ning led the brothers from the Jinfan Camp to the Jiangdong flagship.
