When Lu Xun was an envoy in Xu County, the Jiangdong navy had once again defeated the Sichuan and Shu navy in the Qiting area, forcing the Sichuan and Shu navy to retreat.
This is the good news that Lu Xun said.
However, this good news did not bring any good follow-up to the Jiangdong Navy, because from behind the 未分类, the river surface became narrower.
The place of the pavilion is not only the river channel is curved, but also becomes narrow, the water surface is not very open, and there are many hills and mountains around it, with a complex terrain. This makes the Jiangdong Navy very susceptible to attacks on the mountains on both sides during its march.
First, when Jiangdong first used small warships to clear obstacles in the water, when he pulled out the iron chains of wooden piles in the water, he was ambushed by the crossbow cart on the mountain on the shore. Because he was not prepared, he was shot and injured by the crossbow cart at the beginning.
Huang Gai asked the tower ship to come forward as a cover, but unexpectedly, there were not only crossbows, but also catapults...
Heavy stone bullets roared, killing the soldiers on the Jiangdong ships, and wailing with their heads.
In a moment, several holes were smashed on the deck of the building, and wood chips flew.
That's right, in comparison, the overall strength of the Sichuan and Shu navy is weaker than that of Jiangdong on the water surface, so the Jiangdong navy did take a lot of advantages in the fight with the Sichuan and Shu navy at the beginning and also played the advantages of its navy. However, now when new problems are encountered, the Jiangdong navy is a little bit numb.
The Jiangdong Navy could not move forward without breaking the obstacles on the water surface and underwater. However, if we wanted to break these obstacles, small boats became targets for crossbows and large boats became targets for catapults. Especially under such long-range attacks, the Jiangdong Navy could not play its advantages at all. After working hard for a day, it failed to remove many obstacles. Instead, many soldiers were caught in, and two or three warships were damaged to varying degrees and retreated to the back for emergency repairs.
There are still many obstacles on the water surface...
This was a big blow to the morale that the Jiangdong Navy had just risen.
Even Huang Gai had to admit that the Sichuan and Shu naval army's arrangement was very disgusting.
"Is this a replacement?" Huang Gai pinched his beard and pondered.
Before the attack, he also had some understanding of the Sichuan and Shu naval army.
Gan Ning is indeed a good naval general and is good at naval combat. However, after all, he is a little bit arrogant and has no experience in commanding the naval army on a large scale. Therefore, Huang Gai's initial strategic situation was to fight less, seize a little flaw and attack comprehensively, and use the quality of his naval army soldiers to crush Gan Ning, which did achieve good results.
However, the Sichuan and Shu naval army is obviously unwilling to accept this game.
The problem now is that if you want to pull out the obstacles, you must first take down the position of the crossbow cart, stone bullet cart on the mountain.
The new plan is not difficult to formulate, it is to carry soldiers ashore to attack with small boats.
But Huang Gai smelled some uneasy smells.
The Sichuan and Shu naval army set up obstacles in the water. Is there no traps in the mountains?
"Governor! Do you want to send soldiers up the mountain to attack?"
The military academy asked from the side.
Huang Gai nodded, waiting was not a solution, so he first tried to attack.
Then more than a dozen ships were divided into the warship formation and leaned towards the shore. Then the soldiers of the Jiangdong Navy came down from the ship, lined up on the shore, and began to go to the crossbow chariot castrate position established by the Sichuan and Shu army.
Because of the mountains, forests and trees, the crossbows and catapults can shoot into the range and the Jiangdong warships on the water without any cover, but the Jiangdong soldiers passing through the forest had no vision to shoot, and could only rely on soldiers to fight in the mountains and forests.
Fighting among dense mountains, forests and shrubs is a completely different concept for the Jiangdong Army than fighting on the water.
Because of the terrain problem, fighting in the mountains and forests is destined to be a battle between life and death only depends on breathing.
No one knows whether there is someone behind the tree trunk, nor does anyone know whether there is a trap under the decayed leaves. There is no way to see the opponent's warship from a distance as if it were on the water surface, and to adjust their position when the warship is about to collide. When the opponent is found in the mountains, the opponent's swords and guns are in front of him.
The speed of the reaction in an instant can determine whether it is life or death.
The sound of war drums sounds very excited when they are on the water surface, as if the whole body will stir up with the war drums. However, in the mountains and forests, separated by trees, the sound of war drums on the water surface in the distance seems a little bit broken, just like the shouts of young and strong turn into breathing from the old and weak.
The moment the two sides contacted, Sichuan and Shu caught the Jiangdong Army off guard.
Faced with the Sichuan and Shu army that jumped out of the mountains, forests and shrubs like tigers and leopards, these "strong men" on the water in Jiangdong could not make effective resistance at all.
Some Jiangdong soldiers were assassinated by an arrow on the side as soon as they were assassinated.
Some Jiangdong soldiers raised their swords and slashed hard, but the swords were stuck on the tree branch.
The war shields in the hands of Sichuan and Sichuan soldiers were smaller and the war swords were shorter.
If it is on the flat ground, these short war shields and swords will reveal greater flaws. However, in the mountains and forests, with the numerous twigs and vines, these Sichuan soldiers holding short war shields will be more flexible and deadly than Jiangdong soldiers holding long spears and large shields.
The sharp sword shines in the light and shadow, and the flexible figure jumps in the bushes.
The screams of Jiangdong soldiers were one after another.
The smell of blood permeates the mountains and forests...
『Array! Arrange! Raise the shield! Raise the shield! Be careful of the archers!』
The soldiers and officers of Jiangdong subconsciously shouted, trying to gather the Jiangdong soldiers to form a solid front, but he forgot that there was no decent open space in the mountains and forests to carry out array attacks. And the sound waves would be reflected many times on the trunks, especially when fighting for life and death. This order that could not determine the direction of the sound source often made the soldiers of Jiangdong at a loss. Some soldiers of Jiangdong who retreated after hearing his shouting gave their backs to their opponents.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! In contrast, the soldiers of Sichuan and Shu are using whistles to determine attack or retreat.
Simple and efficient.
Just like on the water surface, the Jiangdong Navy could easily attack the Sichuan and Shu Navy. Now it was the Jiangdong Navy's turn to take the critical strike.
After a brief and fierce battle, the Jiangdong naval army became frightened, clamoring like hundreds of ducks, swaying their butts and running out of the mountains and forests...
This cannot be blamed on the soldiers of the Jiangdong Navy. After all, they have basically never left the ship since the day they joined the army. They are more accustomed to thinking that the ship is their warm and safe rear, so when they are beaten, they subconsciously look for their warm arms, and they do not have much desire to fight with the soldiers in the mountains and forests.
The soldiers of Sichuan and Sichuan did not blindly chase and retreated slowly on the edge of the mountains and forests, just like cats hiding in the shade of trees, leaving only bloody vertical pupils staring up and down Jiangdong.
Huang Gai stared at the Sichuan soldiers looming on the edge of the forest. He suddenly felt a little uneasy. He suddenly looked up and looked at the rolling hills around him, trying to find someone's figure on the high places of these hills...
『This is not Gan Xingba…』 Huang Gai frowned deeply, 『Gan Xingba doesn’t have this ability…This is the mountain army of the cavalry… Could it be that Xu Gongming arrived?』
But the previous information was that Xu Huang was in southern Sichuan and did not go to eastern Sichuan!
Huang Gai's hand tightly grabbed the handrail of the building, and the blue veins were revealed.
This is an opponent with a completely different fighting style from Ganning.
Insidious, cunning, cruel, and unscathing.
Who is he?
The mist floats.
Huang Gai looked at the surrounding mountains and forests and felt aroused in his heart.
He had a plan to defeat the enemy.
…(^o^)/…
Longyou.
Fei Qian was wearing military uniform.
In summer and autumn, it is the hottest time. Not only are people and horses very likely to sweat, but the dust on the road is also unwilling to be lonely and lingering with all the greasy men in the past. So Fei Qian tasted the long-lost military experience.
Fortunately, the human olfactory system has a self-blocking function.
Over time, you can't smell your own smell.
After a long time, the similar smells can no longer be smelled.
Just like now, Fei Qian basically can't smell any sweaty smell or sour smell.
Fei Qian untied the tie on his chin, took off his pocket, and then knocked the sand in the pocket on his thigh, which dropped a lot of sand and dust. Then he clamped the pocket, shook his left leg, and then shook his right leg.
The dust and sand all over the body fell down.
Since he was already like a clay figure, Fei Qian naturally didn't care whether the surrounding soil was dirty or not. He sat under the tree beside him, and then tried his best to stretch his legs straight, like a horoscope.
Traveling thousands of miles a day sounds very pleasant and exciting, but if you don’t listen, but do it yourself, you may not feel happy.
Although Fei Qian is no longer as delicate as he used to be, and he will not be as bloody as a relative when he rides for a long time, but there is no friction for a long time. Now that he suddenly increases his exercise volume, it is also a big burden, especially between the two strands, there seems to be a burning pain again.
Fortunately, it doesn't hurt too much, and I can bear it.
Otherwise, the cavalry would have to stick out his butt and apply medicine in public. Where can I put my face?
The more west you go, the more desolate it becomes.
Except for the supply points specially arranged by Jia Xu, there is not much people in a radius of more than ten miles.
Hills, hills, gullies, rocky beaches.
The rest of the place is full of desolate deserts.
The white and light gray clouds in the sky moved slowly in the sky. Sometimes they would kindly help Feiqian block the sunlight, and sometimes they would deliberately snorke around Fei.
The mountains in the distance are like backgrounds painted in the horizon, no matter how they move forward, they will never be touched.
His scalp was a little itchy, so he reached out and tugged his fingers a few times, then looked at the black mud inside the nails of his fingers, and Fei Qian sighed helplessly.
If only you could take a hot bath at this moment...
Fei Qian felt like there was a layer of mud shell on his skin.
"Lord, just drink some water."
Xu Chu handed the water bag to Fei Qian.
This time, the guard Fei Qian brought by his side was Xu Chu.
Taishici has set out first and is the pioneer ahead.
A great man is a great man. As a five-slag fighter, Fei Qian has no way to compare with Xu Chu, nor can he compare with Taishi Ci. He would almost kill Fei Qian's life if he was wearing such a piece of armor.
Xu Chu is still energetic, and it seems that it will be easy to run another 800 miles next.
There are differences in physical differences for everyone.
Even the same person will be different a few years earlier and a few years later. For example, Wei Du, the leader of another guard battalion who stayed in Chang'an, has obviously aged in recent years. The reason is very simple. Wei Du was seriously injured before, but although he survived, he also overdrawed his vitality. It was not very obvious at first, but later it slowly showed up.
It is like the annual rings of a tree. Even if you don’t say anything, you can see which year is rich and which year is poor.
Therefore, Fei Qian stayed in Chang'an and served as the guard of the Cavalry Office.
For long-distance travelers like the ones like now, it is obviously more suitable for Xu Chu, who is younger.
Fei Qian took the cowhide water bag, first rinsed his mouth, spit out the sand and dust in his mouth, and then drank a few large sips to relieve the burning in his throat.
The water in the cowhide water sac was sweet at the beginning, but soon after tasting the light salty taste, the subsequent sour and nitro leather taste also occupied the main flavor after the taste buds were activated, and the original sweetness disappeared.
Fei Qian returned the water bag to Xu Chu and burped it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Without further development in materials science, leather water bags are still the best marching water reserve equipment. Bamboo and iron water bottles have been tested for a while, but unfortunately, they have all had one or another problems. They cannot be as soft as leather water bags, which can be carried, large in quantity and easy to repair...
That's right, if the water bag is broken, you can directly use Suijun's fish glue to apply leather, and then as long as it does not encounter heat, it will generally not melt.
Wood or bamboo kettles are OK when used at first, but one is heavier than cowhide water bags at the same capacity, while the other hand is broken and difficult to repair.
Iron or steel kettles also have this disadvantage. Moreover, if the current metallurgical production technology is hit by a delicate kettle alone, it will be no big problem. If the entire army is equipped, it will take too much effort. Moreover, even if the repair method is solved, the anti-rust work is not as simple as painting a few layers of paint. Otherwise, there would be no intention to use various aluminum products during World War II.
Therefore, even if Fei Qian has advanced ideas in his mind, he can only put it aside if his productivity cannot cooperate.
Just like Fei Qian is talking to people in the world about aviation planes, spacecrafts, flying out of the solar system, conquering the stars and the Milky Way, etc. Nowadays, people in the world and even the whole earth will not think that Fei Qian’s idea is a wonderful idea or a great guide, and will only think that Fei Qian is a madman.
For example, the Western Regions.
The problems in the Western Regions broke out too quickly, too early, and too chaotic.
Fei Qian had previously sighed with Pang Tong that if the problems in the Western Regions could be delayed for a few years, the problem might be relatively simple.
After all, Lu Bu is old.
The midlife crisis is not only present in later generations.
Capitalists in later generations have to coax young people in various ways, but as long as they reach 35, wouldn’t they just squeeze them out? The decline in physical functions, the education and support of the next generation of the family, and the assets and liabilities, etc., can make an ambitious young man a screw that is willing to be ordinary.
At that time, even if Lu Bu wanted to make trouble, he wouldn't be able to make trouble.
Should his child go to Chang'an Academy?
Do he want to have a small courtyard in Chang'an?
Should he leave a place in the martial arts hall?
Sometimes Fei Qian feels that he is gradually becoming cold. When encountering anything, he subconsciously uses benefits to directly measure it rather than emotions.
The larger the territory, the less Fei Qian can use emotions as a bargaining weight to measure right or wrong.
It's right to the thing, not the person.
This principle is simple to say, but not easy to do.
Selfishness is the most important aspect of human animal nature, but the higher the position, the less selfish you are. Lu Bu obviously did not control his selfishness. He wanted to get more, but in fact he was constantly losing. He wanted to gain freedom, but actually lost his freedom.
Just like if Lu Bu is told the words "righteous things, not the right people", Lu Bu will probably smile and say, "What's the matter? How can he not know? But when he is dealing with the problem, is it targeting things or because of people?"
Most of the problems in the Western Regions were accomplished by people before, but now what Fei Qian wants is to become a person because of things.
This is a new battlefield, a new concept.
Lu Bu is already old, not only in his body, but also in his mind.
There are still ways to do physically, but it is difficult to change the mind.
After all, someone said that it is easy to treat a person's body, but it is difficult to treat a person's mind.
A person's talents are different.
Just like Fei Qian is fighting against the Five Slags, Xu Chu may only need one arm to knock Fei Qian down.
But the question is, how many Xu Chu are there in this world and how many Lu Bu are there?
So, if you just wait for a powerful person to appear before you can make any changes, then is it impossible to explore the Western Regions except for people like Zhang Qian and Ban Chao? Can you only have the ability to defeat the nomads like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing?
These people who are full of courage and wisdom should become role models, not confinements.
Inherit courage from the brave and wisdom from the wise.
What Fei Qian wanted was that ordinary Han people could also solve problems step by step based on relevant examples and laws passed down by their ancestors, so as to open up the territory of the Han Dynasty, and insert the Han Dynasty's flag into every piece of land in the world!
And Lu Bu, the courage used the wrong place, and the wisdom also thought the wrong place...
Some smoke and dust rose in the distance, and the sound of horse hooves came.
Xu Chu stood aside and looked at him, "Lord, Envoy Jia is here..."
