At Jiangzhou Port. Before dawn, Xu Huang was covered in clothes and stood on the shore. The soldiers boarded the ships in an orderly manner.
When Xu Huang suddenly appeared in Jiangzhou, many people had no time to react.
Bo's had almost no resistance and was wiped out by Xu Huang.
Perhaps at the moment of death, a thought was still circling in the minds of Bo and others...
Isn’t Xu Huang in Nanzhong?
Meng Yan stood in the lower position, looking at the formation that Xu Huang set out, as well as a child who never urinated or mud.
After the spot, Xu Huang turned around and looked at Meng Yan, "Jiangzhou Defense, I will be clear."
Meng Yan bowed down and bowed, "I dare not do my best."
Xu Huang nodded, "It's good."
Xu Huang actually disliked Meng Yan very much. However, Xu Huang never showed it, just a formal attitude, neither friendly nor distant, but this attitude happened to put great mental pressure on Meng Yan.
Xu Huang got on the battleship.
The whole army went downstream.
Meng Yan stood on the shore all the time, and after the shadow of the battleship fleet disappeared from his sight, he sighed slowly. He finally realized what it means to be involuntarily.
Gone are the days when I closed my door and became the overlord of the Southern Middle Land.
In fact, this kind of "door" has been closed for thousands of years in Chinese history. Until later generations, some tribes in the South Central region even ran to a program to call themselves "princes", but in fact they were just the son of the village chief in a village.
Just like many people with skin color bonuses in the dark night say that they are the son of a certain chief.
The location of these indigenous people is even more stable than that of the Chinese emperors. The reason is very simple. These indigenous people have never seen the market...
What Zhuge Liang and Xu Huang did in Nanzhong was to let these guys in the mountains see the world.
The road was opened, and even if it could not be comparable to the transportation lines of later generations, at least these people who had been in the mountains for several lifetimes began to have the opportunity to get in touch with the outside world. In addition to the mountain in front of us, there were more mountains, more rivers, and more people behind...
Therefore, the positions of the local kings in Nanzhong are not so stable.
This is the change of the entire Sichuan and Sichuan, like a torrent.
Neither Bashan nor Nanzhong can resist it.
When these indigenous people in the mountains see how people live in other places, then these indigenous people who have been exploited from generation to generation will naturally think and then want to change.
Although the overall ideological wave in Nanzhong is not very surging at the moment, the people who are at the top of Nanzhong, such as Meng Yan, have already noticed the shock caused by the changes in the ideological changes of the people in Nanzhong.
If you want to maintain your position, you cannot simply intimidate or deceive as before.
There are always times when lies are exposed, and there are times when intimidation is finally times when resistance is fought.
These original leaders and leaders in Nanzhong also sought change as they had no choice but to do so.
Of course, Meng Yan had thought about making trouble.
But after Zhuge Liang noticed the thoughts of these guys in Nanzhong, he waved his sleeves and left, but a heavyweight guy came, Xu Huang.
Xu Huang used his battle axe to let many people in the South China know what the outcome would be if they provoked Xu Huang...
If you can't fight, you can only surrender.
But after committing, you must obey Xu Huang's dispatch and arrangements.
Just like quelling the rebellion in Jiangzhou, Meng Yan was the main force.
Meng Yan knew in his heart that after he did this, his relationship with some local people in Jiangzhou would be completely destroyed, but Meng Yan also knew that what Xu Huang wanted was his relationship with Jiangzhou.
Sure enough, after Meng Yan and the Nanzhong people killed the Bo family, Xu Huang handed over Jiangzhou defense to him.
Meng Yan sighed.
Everything you want to get comes at a price.
"Head, you said Jiangdong people are here..." Meng's confidant asked, "Who will win or lose?"
Meng Yan whispered: "Do you think Zhuge is smart or not? Is this General Xu brave? "
"This...of course it is smart and brave..." the confidant replied.
Meng Yan nodded, "That's it... do you understand?"
"Ah?" My confidant couldn't understand.
Meng Yan had no intention of explaining, he sighed and waved his hand, "Let's go. There's a lot of work to do... We have to clear out other remnants... Someone reported that a thief in the Po family was fleeing... We are busy...
...
...
Xu Huang stood at the bow of the boat.
His iconic axe was placed in the cabin.
Xu Huang now changed a sword and hung it on his body.
Xu Huang was originally in a state of trouble.
He likes mountains, horses, and he likes the earth that always gives him solid support.
But the boat was something that Xu Huang had never touched before. He really didn't expect that one day he would fight on the boat...
However, under the cavalry, Xu Huang knew it was impossible to sleep on the credit. There were too many people catching up with him. If he didn't work hard, he would eventually be surpassed one day.
Xu Huang also wants to become the Grand Commander or Protector of Xiongzhen one day. If he doesn't have a fight, it will be a huge and obvious weakness after all.
Although Xu Huang is not as good as Gan Ning and other generals who are good at water warfare, he is not afraid of water warfare and knows how to fight water warfare. Just like Xu Huang, he not only replaced the battle axe with a sword, but also replaced the armor on his body with a lighter mixed armor on the water surface. Even the silk ribbons tied with armor on his body were even changed.
The silk ribbon is specially soaked with oil wax, so that it can be easily taken off after falling into the water.
The difference between these water wars and land wars is like Xu Huang's sharp change and growth.
Now is the time to test his sharp transformation and growth.
The wind is strong and the water is surging.
Xu Huang leaned on the railing and looked away.
Ambitions.
...
...
At this moment, Zhu Zhi had already pushed the troops to the vicinity of Yufu.
Yufucheng is divided into mountain city and island city.
The mountain city is built against the mountains, while the island city is built on an island in the river.
Some are like Xiangyang and Fancheng, which are Jiashuihecheng, and are connected by floating bridges in the middle.
On both sides of the floating bridge, there are military camps and water camps standing on two cities, using strong bows, hard crossbows and catapults to block the enemy.
Whether it is an enemy from the upstream or downstream, it will be attacked from multiple aspects. Even if it attacks a certain point, you must beware of opponents who come out of the other side.
Relatively speaking, of course, the city on the island is relatively weak, with only about 3,000 defenders and relatively short walls, but this relative is only relative. After all, after going to the island, it is not as good as the surrounding mountains and mountains, and it can also cut down trees and build equipment everywhere. Whether it is a small port or a shallow piled up of mud and sand, it is not suitable for large-scale troops to be deployed.
If the Jiangdong Army was good at infantry, then Zhu Zhi would definitely choose to attack the mountain city first. However, Jiangdong was good at boats and naval forces, so he would have to fight against the island city first, take down the water camp of Sichuan and Shu, and then attack Yufu's mountain city in turn.
Of course, Zhu Zhi has some other ideas...
But even if you want to attack the island city with a small number of defenders, it is not that easy.
First of all, Zhu Zhi had to face the catapult carts set up on the island city on a high place.
Compared with human dragging, the counterweight catapult car has a longer range and a more accurate attack range.
With the new technology, all Yufu Natural catapults were replaced with counterweight catapults.
This means that Zhu Zhi needs to take greater risks.
Secondly, Zhu Zhi must cut off the floating bridge and cut off the connection between the island city and the mountain city. Otherwise, the number of island city guards Zhu Zhi injured and killed, the mountain city will be replenished. No matter how hard the battle was before, it would become meaningless.
However, if you want to use warships to attack the floating bridge between the island city and the mountain city, you will face obstacles from the Sichuan and Shu army in three directions. From the powerful crossbows set up on the shore and the floating bridge, the catapult cart can see that this risk is also very great, not to mention that you have to first remove the obstacles and iron chains set up by Zhuge Liang underwater.
On the one hand, Zhu Zhi landed in Yufu's vicinity and approached the mountain city, suppressing the mountain city's defenders, forcing the mountain city's defenders to separate a part to defend against land attacks. On the other hand, he made a stance to demolish the floating bridge, but in fact he was making a move to attack the island city, making preliminary preparations for attacking the island city.
As the Jiangdong warship approached, the sound of war drums echoed on the river. Whether it was on the warship, on the floating bridge, or on the city, or on the Jiangdong army or the Sichuan and Shu army soldiers, they all held their breath at this moment, holding their weapons tightly, waiting for the battle to begin.
The low and slow sound of war drums was like a giant's roar, or like a rolling thunder falling, stunning.
『Dong! dongdong! dongdongdong! dongdongdong!』
...
...
Zhu Ran, hiding in the mountains, was looking at the Sichuan soldiers who were fleeing again, hesitating, but after a moment, he ordered: "Catch up."
As soon as the flag was set, Zhu Ran and others killed the defeated Sichuan soldiers ahead.
In fact, Zhu Ran still doesn't know who his opponent is.
Because he felt that this was an ordinary encounter.
Isn’t it normal to suddenly run into the opponent’s small army in the mountains?
Zhu Ran originally planned to revolve around the flank of Yufucheng, place his troops behind Yufushan City, and then wait for Zhu Zhi to suddenly save at the critical moment of attacking in front, or find an opportunity to sneak into the mountain city to cause chaos...
But when Zhu Ran was walking back, he encountered these small troops of the Sichuan and Shu army one after another on the way.
At the beginning, Zhu Ran did not entangle with these small troops. After defeating and dispersing these troops, he continued to move towards Yu Fu. However, after encountering these small troops for the second and third time, Zhu Ran had no idea why these troops appeared, so he wanted to catch some people to ask clearly.
Zhu Ran did not dare to send someone to contact Zhu Zhi rashly because this area had already entered Yu Fu's control. If the liaison soldiers he sent were encountered by these small troops, the information he wanted to convey to Zhu Zhi might be used by Zhuge Liang in turn. Therefore, Zhu Ran could only rely on his family bond with Zhu Zhi to do his best.
Advancing along the valley, he soon encountered a small group of Sichuan soldiers. Zhu Ran defeated them, but his worries became more and more intense.
Continuing to move forward, Zhu Ran felt more and more wrong. He sent a scout to climb up to look out, but found signs of a Sichuan and Sichuan ambush ahead...
what to do?
Before Zhu Ran could figure out how to crack the ambush in front, the soldiers from the rear rolled and crawled in front of Zhu Ran, "Report! General, behind... more than a thousand people were coming along the valley!"
"What?!" Zhu Ran was shocked.
...
...
The Jiangdong Navy Tower and Fighting Ship are also equipped with crossbows and catapults.
Of course, at this time, Jiangdong is more accustomed to calling catapults "pili chariots", because their sound is like thunder and lightning strike. But the name is attributed to the name, and actual combat depends on the efficacy. Compared with the equipment of the Sichuan and Shu Yufu Guardians, the crossbows and catapults in Jiangdong are two points away.
A little range, a little accuracy.
Therefore, Zhu Zhi could not bombard the catapults and crossbows on the mountain city and island city, and could only stare at the floating bridge.
But the problem is that it is not easy to find a place that happens to cover the firepower of the mountain city and island city, and it is not easy to smash the floating bridge safely.
Only when Zhu Zhijun is ready to launch an array to attack the floating bridge, Gan Ning's navy will be dispatched.
Zhu Zhijun turned around and prepared to engage in Ganning, and then the Ganning Navy would lead Zhu Zhijun to the firepower projection range of the mountain city and island city, and "single" Zhu Zhijun together in three aspects.
At the same time, the Yangtze River water is in a state of flow. Although large warships are stable, their targets are also large and they will be taken care of by crossbows and catapults.
Small ships are indeed smaller in targets, but small warships have fewer manpower and equipment, and it is difficult to maintain a steady state in the water flow for accurate shooting.
As the day passed, both sides remained in a state of testing each other. No one invested in a large-scale army and naturally there was no major damage. Just like the first round of two boxers on the ring, they were just warming up.
Zhu Zhi found out the locations of some firepower projection points on mountain cities and island cities, and then found out some iron chains and underwater traps around the pontoon bridge.
After marking all these fortifications, Zhu Zhi couldn't help but feel heavy.
He thought about it alone under the candle for a long time, but he could not find any flaws of Yu Fu.
Normally, a city has edges and corners, a little face, some places have high terrain and low terrain, and there will inevitably be some defects in the layout of facilities, but here, Zhu Zhi can hardly find any particularly obvious weaknesses.
Zhu Zhi has always been reluctant to admit that Zhuge Liang was a terrible opponent, but after he arrived at Yu Fu, he really saw that after Yu Fu's defense system, Zhu Zhi had to face up to this problem and admit that this young man really had the power to slap him to death on the beach...
However, Zhu Zhi was still trying to find a way to solve the problem in various difficulties.
The next day, Zhu Zhi arranged most of the warships outside the attack range of Shancheng and Island City, and then dispatched two "special" buildings to fight with some small boats.
These two building ships seem to be a little fatter than ordinary building ships.
The warships in Jiangdong's rear, as the rear firepower cover position of this small fleet, were suppressed by Zhu Zhi's firepower when Gan Ning wanted to harass this fleet.
Just like yesterday, Zhu Zhi's fleet was taken to the firepower range of Shancheng and Island City by Gan Ning.
Naturally, Gan Ning had no particularly good way to suppress the advance of this small fleet, but soon the two Jiangdong Tower ships rushing in the front entered the attack range of the island city's catapult car.
As soon as the Jiangdong Tower Boat entered the attack distance of the catapult car, the catapult car placed on the island city of Sichuan and Shu troops began to show their power. The craftsmen and soldiers who operated raised the wooden hammer high and hit the hook of the catapult car with force. The heavy counterweight box sank downwards. The long wooden tip drew an arc, throwing the stone bullet into the sky, drawing a long arc, and smashing the Jiangdong Tower Boat.
The stone bomb made a harsh roar in the air and flew towards the two slowly coming ships.
"boom!"
A stone bullet hit the river water, splashing two or three feet high water columns, splashing around.
The Jiangdong soldiers on the tower ship were not happy because the attack of the Sichuan-Shu stone casting cart failed, because the landing point of the stone bomb was actually not far from the tower ship, and the splashes of water seemed to be able to stain the faces of the Jiangdong soldiers on the tower ship.
The second stone bomb also fell into the water.
The third stone bullet drew an arc in the sky, and then hit the roof of the tower ship that was coming out of Jiangdong, making a loud bang.
Zhu Zhi stretched his neck and stared at the tower ship in front of him that was hit by a stone bullet.
The tower ship shook for a while, as if the entire ship had sunk, and a piece of it seemed to have faded from the top of the tower ship.
Zhu Zhi couldn't help but hold his breath.
The other soldiers in Jiangdong were also waiting for breath.
The stone bullet that hit the tower ship just now seemed to hit the tower ship, but fell into their hearts, making a trembling sound.
When Feiqian was studying boat ship technology, Jiangdong was stimulated by Feiqian and accelerated its research on ships.
These two "special" tower ships are the most advanced technological products in Jiangdong at present.
This is a battleship with a dome armor.
When someone leads the way, the people behind will unknowingly speed up their pace.
The craftsmen who built ships in Jiangdong may have been inspired by the structure of the urn and installed dome armor on the outside of the building ship.
Although Jiangdong craftsmen said they could withstand the attack of stone bombs, but...
Now is the time for actual testing.
If what Jiangdong craftsmen said is wrong, then it will not only lose warships and soldiers, but also significantly lose morale.
The building ship hit by a stone bullet was shaking...
On the outer armor on the top of the tower ship, a huge gap was obviously smashed by a stone bullet, but the broken outer plate made the kinetic energy of the stone bullet almost completely release. As the power of the stone bullet was exhausted, the flag bearer at the stern of the tower ship raised the stone bullet from the top dome armor, and the flag bearer at the stern of the tower ship ecstatically raised the banner of safety!
The stone bomb failed to penetrate the roof of the building!
"Okay!!" Zhu Zhi slapped his head on the railing.
The soldiers from Jiangdong also breathed a sigh of relief, and cheers soared into the sky.
"Send the order! Let the tower ship move forward! Clear obstacles! Break the pontoon bridge!"
Chapter completed!
