Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 545
Knowing that the chance of winning is slim, Zhao Guang still decided to fight.

He had the same idea as Zhao Yingqi, he had to figure out the true strength of the navy of the Han Dynasty.This will be a key bargaining chip in deciding whether South Vietnam will surrender to the Han Dynasty.If, as Liang Xiao said, the Han Dynasty not only had a natural advantage in cavalry, but also a powerful navy, then Nanyue would have no other choice but to bow down and become a vassal.But if that wasn't the case, the situation would be quite different.

Once hostages are accepted, the independent status of South Vietnam will be lost, and the interests of many people will be affected, and the clan will be the group of people who are most affected.At that time, there will be only one king left in South Vietnam: the King of South Vietnam, and all other kings may have to be demoted to lords.Moreover, the king of Nanyue would not last long - the Han Dynasty's methods against kings with different surnames are obvious to all - taking hostages means that the Zhao family's rule in South Vietnam has entered a countdown.

Compared with this profit loss, Zhao Guang's defeat is nothing, Zhao Yingqi is willing to give up a piece of pearl, and he is also willing to cut himself into pieces.If he was lucky enough to defeat the Han army navy and extend the Zhao family dynasty for a period of time, he would not hesitate.

Zhao Guang carefully studied the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, and summoned the generals to the commander's boat to arrange tactics.

-

Liang Xiao sat on the flying hut, even without clairvoyance, he could see the generals of the Nanyue navy rushing to Zhao Guang's handsome boat from all directions, so he could naturally feel Zhao Guang's nervousness.In fact, he was also a little nervous.Although these large ships have been refitted to improve their balance performance and have a stronger ability to resist wind and waves, he doesn't know what their combat capabilities are.

It was Wei Qing's proposal to fight Zhao Guang, but he just said it through his mouth.Wei Qing and Wu were commanded to fight against the Minyue navy by commanding the building boats, and they won a complete victory, which directly caused the Minyue king to give up resistance.He was very satisfied with the performance of the building boat and was confident of defeating the Nanyue Navy.Seeing Wei Qing's confident appearance, Liang Xiao was very pleased.

It is gold that always shines, and Wei Qing has finally emerged with his own strength.

Liang Xiao turned to look at Zhao Yingqi. "General Zhao seems a little nervous."

Zhao Yingqi gave Liang Xiao an angry look. "Being afraid when something happens, isn't that what Junhou often says?"

Liang Xiao grinned.Zhao Yingqi was too nervous and had a bad temper, so he exploded at once.In fact, this is also normal. After seeing the scene where the Han army's cavalry defeated Yu Shan, Zhao Yingqi had given up hope for the land battle, and the navy was their last straw.If the navy is defeated, South Vietnam will have no other choice but to accept hostages.How could he not be nervous at such a critical time.

Zhao Yingqi stood up, walked to the side, leaned on the railing, and carefully observed the Nanyue Navy in the distance.Just like what Liang Xiao said, he could see Zhao Guang's nervousness from Zhao Guang's actions, and he could see Zhao Guang's lack of self-confidence, so he became even more unconfident.

Along the way, he saw that the Han army was too powerful, neither the cavalry nor the infantry were comparable to the South Vietnamese soldiers.If the navy is defeated again, what else can South Vietnam use to negotiate with the Han Dynasty?

Time passed slowly in unbearable torment.

After half an hour, Zhao Guang finally lined up the battle formation and sent out a signal that the exercise could begin.

Wei Qing was ready to stop a long time ago. After receiving the signal, he waved his hand to signal the start of the war.On the high mast, the signal soldiers in the watchtower waved the colorful flags in their hands, sending out Wei Qing's order.

"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!" The war drum rang, shaking people's eardrums.

"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!" In fact, the war drums on the four buildings also sounded, as if in response.

Below the deck, there was a loud shout, and the ship shook violently, and then began to move slowly.Liang Xiao shook for a moment, but his heart was overjoyed.As the saying goes, it is hard to turn a ship around.In fact, not only is it difficult to turn around, but the larger the boat, the more difficult it is to start and stop it.This handsome ship has the most load, and it can still have such an obvious shaking feeling when it starts, which shows that the power system of this building ship is strong enough.

Deng Guobin did a great job.It can be seen that science and technology are the primary productive forces.

In Liang Xiao's joy, the five building boats started to move forward at the same time.Compared with the handsome boat, the speed of the other four building boats was faster, but within a distance of several hundred steps, the building boats had already accelerated, moved forward at full speed, braved the wind and waves, and rushed towards the oncoming Nanyue navy.

Gradually, the handsome boat fell behind, and the four building boats rushed to its front, like four horses pulling a chariot, protecting the front of the handsome boat.

At the same time, the Nanyue navy also accelerated and quickly approached the building ship.

The Nanyue Navy also has large ships, but they are not as big as the building ships.But generally speaking, there are still more small and medium-sized warships.These large ships can carry a hundred people, and the small ones can carry dozens of people. Two-thirds of these ships are sailors, and no more than one-third are real soldiers.There are roughly two types of weapons for warriors: bows and arrows and swords and spears.After more than a hundred steps, they began to shoot arrows.

After all, it is not a real battle, archery is just symbolic, or a habit.The South Vietnamese soldiers didn't take it seriously, let alone the Han army on the upper boat.The building boat was tall, and there was a thick wooden parapet beside the ship. As long as they hid behind the parapet, the Nanyue Navy who fired upwards would not be able to shoot them.

Speaking of which, Louchuan is a moving city, and the Nanyue navy is like pawns coming to attack the city.What is more troublesome with pawns is that their feet are not stable, and they will fall into the water if they are not careful.Although they are not flooded due to their water quality, they are still more restricted than down-to-earth siege soldiers.

After shooting a few rounds of arrows, the forwards of both sides began to contact.

The Nanyue navy shouted loudly, rowed their boats, passed between the buildings, and quickly approached the handsome boat.

The four forward-moving buildings ignored them at all, and they couldn't.It is obviously not a wise decision to compare flexibility with these small and medium warships.The four building boats simply gave up the fight and went straight to the depths of the Nanyue Navy.

Seeing Zhao Yingqi, he was overjoyed, turned to look at Liang Xiao, winked and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my rescuer has come."

"Wait until they come up." Liang Xiao waved his hands disapprovingly, but gave Wei Qing a hesitant look.He saw Zhao Guang's tactics, but not Wei Qing's.Zhao Guang clearly wanted to take advantage of the more flexible characteristics of small and medium-sized warships, use the fast to attack the slow, and use the shortcomings of the building ships to maneuver in a roundabout manner, directly surround the handsome ship, and then climb onto the ship to "rescue" Zhao Yingqi.How will Wei Qing deal with it? Does he have to rely on pawns?

Just when Liang Xiao was puzzled, Wei Qing smiled slightly. "You'd better sit down, you may feel a little dizzy later."

Liang Xiao was puzzled, and Zhao Yingqi was even more confused.

Wei Qing waved his hand and gave an order.The orderly standing on the deck let out a long shout: "Turn left——"

Below the deck, there was a shout: "Turn left——"

With this loud shout, the fast-moving building suddenly turned to one side, and the hull tilted to the left.Liang Xiao who was sitting was fine, but slipped a bit, but Zhao Yingqi was miserable, his feet went limp, and he fell to the ground with a "plop", turning into a rolling gourd.If it wasn't for the railing, he might have slipped down.Many of his guards also fell down, and there was a burst of screams.

Compared with the screams on the Feilu, there are more screams on the water.

The speeding South Vietnamese warship approached the building boat, and was stretching out its hook, ready to help climb up. Unexpectedly, the building boat suddenly turned around, and the hull turned sideways, directly hitting their warship.At the same time, a row of windows suddenly opened on the side of the ship, and a thick and long iron spear with a hook protruded from each window, mercilessly hooking the warship of the Nanyue Navy, making it impossible for them to escape.

The two sides were too close. Although the warships of the Nanyue Navy were flexible, they had no time to react. Several warships were hooked by iron spears and overturned. Countless soldiers fell into the water and let out a series of exclamations.

The building boat was like a giant beast, with just a simple turn around, it overturned and sank countless South Vietnamese warships that were close to it.

The building boat continued to spin, and it turned faster and faster.

The sky and the earth were spinning before their eyes, Liang Xiao and others had to hold on to the things around them tightly to ensure that they would not fall due to dizziness.Zhao Yingqi was the most pitiful. After falling for no reason, he couldn't get up.After finally finding a point of support, he stabilized his figure, the building boat was already spinning at full speed, and the tile-blue sky was spinning above his head, making him dizzy and chest tight.

Those South Vietnamese warships who wanted to rely on help were knocked upside down and dared not approach at all.In the face of the huge size gap, even if they wanted to risk their lives, they were helpless. Apart from being directly hit and sunk, it was difficult for them to have any substantial impact on the building.

More Nanyue sailors passed through the gaps between the four large ships and surrounded Wei Qing's large ships. However, facing this crazily spinning large ship, they were helpless. They could only look at the ship and sigh, but could not get close. There is no chance to climb onto the upstairs boat to save people.

When the Nanyue navy was biting the hedgehog and had no way to speak, the four building boats of the Han army smoothly approached Zhao Guang's handsome boat.

Zhao Guang's handsome ship is a large ship, nearly half the size of a large ship, surrounded by dozens of small and medium-sized warships for protection.Normally, it would be difficult to get close to his warships, but the opponents he encountered today were different from those in the past. These four buildings were bigger than his handsome ships, and those escort warships were not worth mentioning , cannot provide effective protection.

The four building boats were divided into two teams and approached from both sides.

As soon as he saw the building boat turning its bow and rushing towards him, Zhao Guang understood the intention of the Han army navy.He regretted it too late.Although he made combat adjustments based on the actual situation of the Han army's navy, he still underestimated the insidiousness of the Han army.He originally thought that the four big boats were covering Wei Qing's handsome boat, but now he found that Wei Qing's handsome boat didn't need cover at all, and these four big boats were coming for his handsome boat.

Zhao Guang yelled repeatedly in anxiety, and ordered Shuai Chuan to turn to avoid it.He knew very well that given the size difference between the two sides, as long as he was hit by a building boat, his handsome boat would be severely damaged.

After receiving the order, the sailors did not dare to be negligent, and made efforts in unison to force the handsome ship to turn around, narrowly avoiding the collision of the first building ship on the left.After Lou Chuan overwhelmed the two escort warships, they rushed past Zhao Guang's handsome boat, with a distance of less than five feet.

But Zhao Guang didn't have time to rejoice, because another building boat rushed over from his right side, and the bow pointed directly at his belly.

Zhao Guang broke out in a cold sweat, ordered urgently, and turned again.

The sailors roared repeatedly, exerting all their strength, rowing vigorously, causing waves of water splashes, and pushing the warship to turn around.The warship almost tilted over, drew a big arc, avoided the collision of the building ship again, but lost control because of this, and spun around in place.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Guang sighed.Even if he had returned to heaven, he still couldn't control the warship and avoid the collision of the other two buildings.Although his boat was not as huge as the big boat, it was relatively easy to turn around, but it was already the limit of his ability to turn around twice in such a short period of time.No matter how hard he tried, it was impossible for him to avoid the collision of the remaining two buildings.

Manpower is sometimes poor, which is the portrayal of Zhao Guang's mood at this time.He held on to the railing tightly, watching helplessly as another boat broke through the waves from the left side and slammed into the middle of his handsome boat.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the handsome ship was hit, and the thick side plank was broken by the iron ram of the bow of the building ship, making a painful moan.The momentum of the building boat continued unabated, and it pressed over like a mountain. The crowded boat moved dozens of steps sideways, the hull tilted, and many people lost their footing and fell to the ground.

Before they could react, another building boat rushed over from the right and bumped into Zhao Guang's handsome boat head-on.

"Boom!" The bow of the handsome boat was cracked, and was pushed underwater by the building boat.

"Crack - crack -" the ship's plank cracked, sea water poured in, and there was a scream in the cabin.

The stern of the boat was raised high, many people slid forward, and the sound of falling into the water was endless.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Zhao Guang grabbed the railing, half hanging in the air.He raised his head and looked at the tall figures of the two building boats, his heart was gloomy.

His well-designed tactics did not have any effect at all. Wei Qing simply and brutally sank his handsome ship with four buildings, ruthlessly trampled on his dignity, and trampled on the dignity of the Nanyue Navy.In the face of the powerful strength of the Han army navy, any subtle tactics are a joke.

He thought about losing, but he didn't expect to lose so completely and so easily.In just one round, his handsome boat was hit and sunk.

Not only was Zhao Guang stunned, but almost all the soldiers of the Nanyue Navy were dumbfounded.They watched the building boat crash into the handsome boat, but they were powerless to resist. They could only watch Zhao Guang's handsome boat being hit by two building boats one after another, and then pressed into the water, unable to move.In front of the tall building boat, Zhao Guang's handsome boat looked so weak and helpless.

"It's...it's over?" Zhao Yingqi sat on the ground, turned his head, looked at the bleak scene in the distance, and said in a hoarse voice.

"What else do you want?" Liang Xiao slowly got used to the rotation of the building boat, barely stood up, his head was a little dizzy, but his mood was overwhelmingly good.He joked: "Zhao Guang's handsome boat has been taken care of by Lou Chuan, so do you expect the other boats to come back?"

"This... this is too rough." Zhao Yingqi murmured, "Don't save me any face."

"I didn't sink your navy in front of the Nanyue kings and ministers without being under the city of Panyu, just to give you the greatest face." Wei Qing stood up, as firm as Mount Tai. "He who knows current affairs is a hero, Your Highness, should you know what to do by now?"
