Chapter 3304 Calculated Victory
Xu Huang's arrangement is quite appropriate.
He had never fought with Jiang Qin and Lu Xun before, so he had always adopted a relatively cautious attitude.
During the melee, some unnecessary casualties still occurred.
"Quick! Hurry up! The crossbow arrows are almost used up! Erhei! Go and get them!"
"Take it, what are you taking..." Erhei responded confusedly.
"Are you brainless? Crossbow arrows! Crossbow arrows!" The military academy stared at the Jiangdong battleship in front of him, "In the cabin!"
Generally speaking, consumables such as crossbow arrows will be stored in the cabin. If they are consumed on the deck, they need to be transported in the cabin. This is almost the most basic knowledge and labor of all naval soldiers.
During normal training, no one will have any problems.
Isn't it just moving something?
What you want to move is to take it, hold it, or carry it, and the weight may not be much heavier than the burden of carrying water and firewood at home.
It can be said to be a matter of no technical content.
As a result, in the current chaotic environment and tense battles, even this simplest thing inevitably leads to an accident.
Erhei, who was a little nervous, had some dissonance in his limbs, quickly responded, turned around and ran, but forgot to put down the knife he was holding tightly in his hand...
You have to get goods into the warehouse without hands.
This is a statute, and under normal circumstances, there is no problem.
When people focus on one thing, they often forget something else.
When I was talking about things in later generations, anyone handed him something, and subconsciously caught it. Even if the item looked like a bomb or an ice cream that was about to melt. Similarly, when playing games, I would ask anything casually, and I would open my mouth to eat whatever I feed. Even if my brain had already identified that the thing was not eaten, my mouth had already been put on my mouth...
Erhei was like this. He was full of his mind to get things, and he forgot about other things. When he passed by the narrow and low hatch door, the sword he was holding stabbed on the neck of his comrade who was hurriedly carrying a bundle of crossbow arrows from inside.
The cabin door is small and lower than the deck, so the normal entry and exit problem is not big. However, now in a state of combat and bumpy state, the light and dark changes when entering and exiting, and the crossbow arrows he carried also blocked some of the sight, resulting in the soldiers coming out from inside noticing that Erhei was holding a knife in his hand.
"puff……"
Blood splattered out, instantly dyeing the cabin door close to bright red.
Erhei then realized that he had stabbed his compatriots and comrades. He couldn't help but be so scared that he almost cried, standing there at a loss.
"You won't take the crossbow arrow over!" The military academy turned around and saw Erhei standing at the hatch, and couldn't help but feel angry, "Move faster!"
Erhei was slow in his daily life, so he endured it. Now he was fighting with the Jiangdong people with his soldiers, but when he saw Erhei was still dazed...
The military academy saw the blood at the door of the cabin, but he didn't care at all.
When fighting with the Jiangdong Army, which side is out of blood?
Erhei heard the shouts of the military academy and subconsciously threw away the blood-stained sword, then picked up the crossbow arrow carried by the comrade who was stabbed to death from the deck. With a feeling of at a loss, he returned to the edge of the military academy and distributed the crossbow arrow to his comrades who were lying on the female wall and trying to shoot.
"That's it!" the military academy said casually, "It's simple! Don't shrink your hands and feet! It's the same as during training!"
During the battles with the Jiangdong Army in succession, the Sichuan and Shu Army were not without any casualties.
Some people die, others grow up, and then mingle with the newly added soldiers.
This is the norm of war.
When the bullets are flying, no matter how beautiful or ugly it is, no matter how male or female it is.
"I, I kill, I kill someone..." Erhei was almost crying.
The military academy subconsciously thought that Erhei was killing Jiangdong Bing. Although he was a little surprised how Erhei killed him, he didn't think much and encouraged him casually: "You did a beautiful job! Killing people is that way! Isn't it right? Don't be afraid, just stab it and do it!"
Erhei's face was almost twisted, and he pointed at the door of the cabin, "No, no, no, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I am the one who killed me..."
"Ah? Ha?!" The military academy then reacted and turned around and stared at the door of the cabin. "Immortal Banban! I asked you to move the crossbow arrow! I didn't ask you to steal the crossbow arrow that you were moving!"
Erhei's tears flowed down, "No! I, I didn't snatch it, just bumped into it!"
"I accidentally bumped into it?" asked the military academy.
Erhei nodded violently.
It seemed that at this moment, all the sounds disappeared and a brief moment of silence was over.
The military academy turned his face and said, "Win this battle first! Do you understand? Let's win this battle first! Let's move the crossbow arrows! Go quickly!"
Erhei wiped his tears and hurriedly went into the cabin again.
When passing the hatch, Erhei paused. He looked back at the military academy, and then did not continue walking in, but moved the dead comrade's body to the side, as if he was sitting and leaning against the hatch. He knelt in front of the corpse, kowtowed three times, and then he didn't know what to say, before getting up and heading into the cabin.
Many times, when people pay attention to war, they think that the heroes are stages in war, but they forget the wood and nails that build the stage, which are actually bloody and painful.
Without these ordinary woods and nails, no matter how tall or handsome a hero is, he can only stand on the ground and cannot be looked up high by others.
On the other side, Lu Xun's wood and nails gradually built the stage.
The reason why Lu Xun took the risk of investigating Xu Huang's movements was to ensure that his own strategy could be implemented.
Xu Huang is indeed steady, but not foolproof. Xu Huang's mistake is not on the water surface, but on the land. This is why sometimes a large army is moving forward, it is more convenient for a certain route, but it still has to slowly move forward with water and land.
If Xu Huang also advanced along land and water, then Lu Xun would have no choice.
But the slower speed of water and land advancement also means that Jiangdong will be given more preparation time. The army wants to cross mountains and ridges and set up camps. It cannot go far in a day. Not only does it require a lot of food and grass, but it also loses the effect of raiding the road. Therefore, Xu Huang finally chose to attack the water surface, and did not choose the way of water and land advancement.
If Xu Huang faces other people, such as Zhou Tai, even Jiang Qin and other veteran navy generals, it would be fine. Because these generals are just like when making a phone call, their attention is also on the navy. Only guys like Lu Xun who are not brave enough to take the ordinary path and set a trap for Xu Huang.
There are also catapults in Jiangdong.
Although there is a certain gap between technical and standard and the catapult of the Cavalry, it is generally sufficient, especially after being inspired by the Cavalry Army, not only will it throw stone bombs...
The real enemy will never be rigid and fight according to the previous attack method and attack routine.
Just as Xu Huang and Jiang Qin were fighting on the river, Lu Xun received a signal that the catapult on the mountain had turned to calibration and prepared...
『Huhuhuhu…』
More than ten fireballs crossed the sky, then fell downwards toward the river.
With a "bang", one of the fireballs fell on a warship of Xu Huang's rear army.
『Be careful! Avoid it quickly!』
The soldiers on Xu Huanghou's ship roared loudly.
But it's too late.
The flames of fireballs splashed not only swallowed the bodies of the nearby soldiers, but also ignited the items piled on the ship.
Normally, the rear army would not directly participate in the battle, but instead use it to place supplies and consumables. Now these things have been targeted by Lu Xun...
Another fireball fell and the flames splashed.
The soldiers burned by the flames made the soldiers of Xu Huang's rear army a little panicked. Most of the Sichuan and Shu naval troops arranged in the rear army were not as strong as the front and central troops.
This is a normal configuration. Unless there is any special strategic arrangement, who would put the most elite combat power in the rear army staring at the food and grass in a daze?
But now Xu Huang did not advance by water and land. At the same time, as soon as he entered the battlefield, he was trapped in an entangled battle with Jiang Qin and did not have time to divide his troops to check on the shore. The most important point is that Xu Huang did not follow Zhuge Liang's advice and felt that his troops could crush Jiangdong, so he wanted to fight quickly and immediately sent troops after receiving the supplies.
When Xu Huang's rear army was attacked, the ship array was suddenly panicked, and Jiang Qin seized the opportunity and the entire army rushed forward.
?????????????????????????
"The ship is about to hit! Get ready to board the board!"
"boom!"
The two ships collided heavily.
The creaking sound made people feel sour and the wood chips flew everywhere.
The soldiers who were not standing firmly on the deck fell into the water.
"Advance!" Jiang Qin roared and jumped onto the warship of the Sichuan and Shu Navy Army first.
Several Sichuan and Shu soldiers came up to him.
Jiang Qin swept his sword and swept through the light of blood, and roared angrily: "Kill! Those who block me will die!"
Just as the slash was slashing, an arrow suddenly roared and nailed it to Jiang Qin's chest.
Jiang Qin shouted and staggered.
The Sichuan and Shu soldiers on the warship thought that Jiang Qin was dead, so they were very motivated. They shouted and rushed forward again, trying to kill Jiang Qin and Jiang Qin's Jiang Dong soldiers out of the ship.
『Ahhhhhhh…』
As a result, before the Sichuan soldiers and soldiers were killed, Jiang Qin and others, they saw Jiang Qin rushing up again, carrying the half of the broken arrow on his body, and rushed into the Sichuan soldiers like a wounded tiger.
With such a master, Jiangdong soldiers were also slashing and slaughtering wildly.
The Sichuan and Sichuan soldiers were not clear about it, and some people thought that Jiang Qin was invulnerable to swords and guns, or were resurrected from the dead, but their minds were shocked. They felt that Jiang Qin was invincible, so they turned around and ran away.
The arrows in the water battle, due to the bumps and shaking of the ships, often only scatter in a rough range, and their strength is not as strong as those of the longbowmen on land. Moreover, as a general, Jiang Qin's armor protection is not bad. Although the arrows enter the body, they are not very deep. Jiang Qin is also very brave when fighting with injuries.
Xu Huang's front army was suppressed and beaten by Jiang Qin, and the rear army was smashed by fireballs again, and the entire army was a little confused.
Blood and fire dance together.
Xu Huanghe...
Now that's the case, Xu Huang can't fly.
Xu Huang knew that he was careless and fell into the ambush of the enemy.
There are only two choices now. One is to defeat Jiang Qin and destroy Jiangdong Water Village by taking a shot from the land and mountains. Then the Jiangdong soldiers on the shore will naturally collapse. The other is to temporarily withdraw the troops and fight after reorganization.
After thinking for a while, Xu Huang decided to retreat temporarily.
He felt that the Jiangdong Navy of Yidao was not worth fighting hard.
『Retreat!』
Xu Huang ordered.
The sound of gold sounded on the water surface, and with the rippling ripples of blood and river water, it also came into Lu Xun's ears on the water camp platform.
Lu Xun closed his eyes, the flesh on his cheeks moved, and then opened it, and some apology and grief flashed in his eyes, but it quickly became resolute, "It's now! Attack with all your strength!"
Let the flag sway.
In the water camp, dozens of boats were like wild horses running wildly along the gaps in the warships on the water!
Because of the relationship between water flow and wind, it is easy to go downstream, but when you want to turn around and go back, the often mentioned sentence will naturally appear, "It is easy for a small boat to turn around."
When Xu Huang attacked, the combat formation formed by large and small ships could maintain the original array, but when they were about to go back, the ships of all sizes could not maintain their original state. The small ships must be turned first and retreated, so that the large ships could have room to swirl.
And Lu Xun's last blow was to see the picture.
The whistling and falling fireballs can only disrupt the array and burn some materials on the surface of the ships, but the success rate of the ships is actually very low if the fireballs directly burn the ships. If the Jiangdong Army cannot seize the opportunity to destroy these ships that are the core of the surface combat, the Sichuan and Shu Army will repair some minor damage at any time and then make a comeback.
The manufacturing cycle of building ships is a constant and long term in terms of "physical", and even if manpower or financial resources are added, it may not be much shortened. After all, it was a Han Dynasty, which was restricted in many aspects such as material technology, especially shipbuilders in Sichuan and Shu, which were very big gap compared with Jiangdong.
This makes Jiangdong, which has suffered heavy losses, urgently recruiting or purchasing building ships from some local gentry families, and starting construction of new building ships in the shipyard, the speed at which Jiangdong can restore its surface combat effectiveness can be said to be unique in the world at present.
Moreover, because the Jiangdong water network is dense, many Jiangdong people live on the water surface as soon as they are born, so like the northern Hu people, there is a bonus for a certain combat mode.
This led to the fact that in history, Sun Dongdong gave 100,000 to the left, but when he waited for the right, he could give another 100,000,000 to the front, and after a while, he raised another 100,000…
Time passes little by little.
The distance between Zuke and the Sichuan and Shu army towers was also shortening little by little.
The sun is getting westward, pulling the figure in front of it for a long time, shining straight onto the waters of the Yangtze River...
Jiang Qin had retreated from the front line of fighting, and under the protection of the guards, he took off his armor. The blood-stained battle robe had already turned red. Dr. Jin Chuang, who was standing beside him, hurried up to deal with the wound.
Originally it was just a puncture injury, but because he failed to take out the arrows in time, Jiang Qin fought with the wound again, causing the wound to be pulled and the arrows were stirred and cut in the flesh. Now a ferocious wound has formed.
Jiang Qin, who had lost a lot of blood, had a pale face, but his attention was not on his wound, but stared at the battlefield in the distance, and suddenly said: "I'm going to win."
The surrounding guards were stunned and looked up at the distance, but they could only see the broken fleet in front of them, the bodies and wreckage of ships floating in the river.
"Didn't you see it? Those who walked up there." Jiang Qin said, "As long as the Sichuan Tower Boat is broken, we will win."
"It's a win", even if this victory is calculated, it is a "great achievement" at the moment.
Just like the national football team in later generations, it is not because of their own strength, but because of God and the mercy of our friends.
"We won?" The guard couldn't help but feel a little excited, "Really?"
Jiang Qin watched the doctor bandage the wound, touched it gently with his hand, then stood up, put on a new battle robe, "Transfer the order, lean towards the south bank."
There were many wreckages of ships tangled in the middle of the river, many of which were still burning on the water surface, and black smoke covered their sight. The fleet deviated from the middle of the river and leaned against the south bank. After the warships blocking their sight in front of him moved away little by little, Jiang Qin saw the scene in the distance, and as he expected, the Sichuan-Shu Tower ship that was behind was chased by the walk...
Zuo Ke installed a horn and filled it with tinder oil.
Once the ship is nailed to the Sichuan Tower, it can instantly turn the ship into a large sea of ​​burning fire!
Jiang Qin squinted his eyes, looked at the mess on the Yangtze River, and also saw the boats of Walking Ke in front of him, as well as the Jiangdong soldiers above Walking Ke...
Tears suddenly fell in his eyes.
Tears fell down his cheeks and disappeared into his beard.
This was not only the result of his life and blood exchange, but also the result of his troops, his private soldiers, and the flesh and blood exchange of ordinary Jiangdong soldiers.
Those Jiangdong soldiers who were walking in the middle of the corpse were all dead soldiers.
Although there is indeed a chance to jump ship and dive before the fire is burned, in reality, it is often a little slower because of this or that, and you will be burned by the fire or even burned to death.
Even if it was a small-scale burn, in the Han Dynasty, after skin burns, soaking in the river water was basically a big bet with the god of death.
『One, two...』
Jiang Qin slowly counted the Sichuan Tower ship surrounded by Leave Ke, bitten it, and then ignited a fire.
The Sichuan-Shu Former Army was originally fighting with Jiang Qin's troops, so when they evacuated, they naturally fell to the end and were soon caught up by Leave Ke. The Sichuan-Shu Former Army's tower ship lost many guard ships and soldiers in the previous battle, and the ship's rudders and oars were inevitably damaged. Even if they wanted to get fast, they couldn't get up.
Zuo Ke continued to move forward and caught up with Xu Huang's central army.
