He had never fought against Jiang Qin or Lu Xun before, so adopting a relatively cautious attitude was his usual fighting habit.
In the melee, some unnecessary casualties still occurred.
"Hurry! Hurry! We are running out of crossbow bolts! Erhei! Go and get them!"
"Take, what to take..." Erhei responded in confusion.
"Aren't you so paralyzed that you have no brains? Crossbow bolt! Crossbow bolt!" The military academy stared at the Jiangdong battleship ahead, "In the cabin!"
Generally speaking, consumables such as crossbow bolts are stored in the cabin. If they are used up on the deck, they need to be carried in the cabin. This is almost the most basic knowledge and work for all sailors.
During normal training, no one will have any problems.
Isn't it just moving something?
Whatever you need to move, even if you take it, hold it, or carry it, 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 with no technical content.
As a result, in the current chaotic environment and tense battles, even the simplest things will inevitably lead to accidents.
Erhei, who was a little nervous and had some uncoordinated limbs, responded quickly, turned around and ran away, but forgot to put down the knife he was holding tightly in his hand...
Enter the warehouse to pick up items empty-handed.
This is a code of conduct, and under normal circumstances, there will be no problem.
When people focus on one thing, they often forget other things.
In later generations, when someone is talking on the phone and someone hands him an object, he will subconsciously catch it, even if the object looks like a bomb or an ice cream that is about to melt. The same is true in
When playing games, I would say yes to anything I asked, and I would open my mouth to eat whatever I was fed. Even though my brain had already judged that the thing was inedible, my mouth had already picked it up...
Erhei was like this. He was preoccupied with getting things and forgot about other things. When he passed by the narrow and low hatch, he stabbed the sword in his hand while he was hurriedly carrying a bundle from inside.
On the neck of the crossbow comrade.
The hatch is narrow and lower than the deck, so normal entry and exit is not a big problem, but now we are in a state of fighting and turbulence. The light changes when entering and exiting, and the crossbow bolts we carry also block part of the line of sight, resulting in
The soldiers who came out did not notice that Erhei still had a knife in his hand.
"puff……"
Blood spurted out, instantly dyeing the area around the hatch bright red.
Only then did Erhei realize that he had actually stabbed his comrade. He was so frightened that he almost cried and stood there dumbfounded.
"Bring the crossbow bolts over here!" The military academy turned around and saw Erhei standing blankly at the hatch of the ship. He couldn't help but get angry and said, "Move quickly!"
On weekdays, Er Hei was slow, so he tolerated it. Now he was leading his soldiers to fight for his life against the Jiangdong people, but he saw that Er Hei was still in a daze...
The military academy saw the blood on the cabin door, but he didn't care at all.
In the fight with Jiangdong's army, which side is losing blood?
Erhei heard the shouts of the military academy, and subconsciously threw away the blood-stained sword. Then he picked up the crossbow bolt carried by his comrade who stabbed him to death from the deck, and returned to the military academy with a sense of bewilderment.
On the side, crossbow bolts were distributed to the comrades who were lying on the parapet and shooting hard.
"That's it!" the military academy said casually, "Just keep it simple! Don't be timid! Just like in training!"
In the successive battles with the Jiangdong Army, the Sichuan-Shu Army did not suffer any casualties.
Some people died, others grew up, and then mixed with the new soldiers.
This is the normal state of war.
When the bullets are flying, it doesn't matter whether you are beautiful or ugly, whether you are male or female.
"I, I killed, I killed someone..." Erhei almost cried.
The military academy subconsciously thought that Erhei killed Jiang Dongbing. Although he was a little surprised how Erhei killed him, he didn't think much and encouraged him casually: "Well done! That's what killing people is like! Right? Don't be afraid.
Just poke it through and that’s it!』
Erhei's face almost twisted, and he pointed at the door of the cabin, "No, no, no, no, I, I, I, I killed, I killed my own people..."
"Huh? Ha?!" The military academy finally reacted and turned around to stare at the cabin door, "Immortal Banban! I asked you to move the crossbow bolts! I didn't ask you to grab the crossbow bolts carried by my own people!"
Erhei burst into tears, "No! I, I didn't grab it, I just ran into it!"
"Did you bump into it accidentally?" the military academy asked.
Erhei nodded fiercely.
It seemed that at this moment, all the sounds disappeared and there was a brief silence.
The military academy turned his face and said, "Win this battle first and then talk about it! Do you understand? Win this battle first and then talk about it! Then go move the crossbow arrows! Go quickly!"
Erhei wiped away his tears and hurried back to the cabin.
When passing by the hatch of the ship, Erhei paused. He looked back at the military academy, and then did not continue walking in. Instead, he moved the body of his dead comrade aside, as if he was sitting on the hatch of the ship. He
He knelt down in front of the corpse, kowtowed three times, and then mumbled something unknown before getting up and heading into the cabin.
Many times, when people pay attention to war, they think that war is the stage for heroes, but they forget that the wood and nails that build the stage are actually bloody and painful.
Without these ordinary wood and nails, no matter how tall or handsome the hero is, he can only stand on the ground and cannot be looked up to by others.
On the other side, Lu Xun's wood and nails gradually built the stage.
The reason why Lu Xun took the risk to personally investigate Xu Huang's movements was to ensure that his own strategy could be implemented.
Xu Huang is indeed steady, but he is not foolproof. Xu Huang's fault is not on the water, but on the land. This is why sometimes when the army marches, it is obviously more convenient to go a certain way, but it still has to move slowly by land and water.
reason.
If Xu Huang also advanced by land and water, then Lu Xun would have nothing to do.
However, the speed of advancing by land and water is slower, which also means giving Jiangdong more time to prepare. The army has to cross mountains and set up camps. It cannot go far in a day. Not only does it need a lot of food and grass, but it also loses the opportunity to raid the Yi Road.
Therefore, Xu Huang finally chose to focus on the attack on the water, and did not choose to advance both by water and land.
Xu Huang's small flaw will not hurt if he faces others, such as Zhou Tai, or even Jiang Qin and other navy veterans. Because these generals are just like paying attention to the phone when they are on the phone, their attention is also
In the navy, only guys like Lu Xun who were not brave enough to fight would take the unusual path and set a trap for Xu Huang.
Jiangdong also has catapults.
Although there is a certain gap between the technology and standards of the Hussars' catapults, it is generally sufficient, especially after being inspired by the Hussars and not only being able to throw stone projectiles...
A real enemy will never be rigid and fight according to the previous attack methods and attack routines.
While Xu Huang and Jiang Qin were fighting on the river, Lu Xun received a signal indicating that the catapult on the hilltop had been turned and calibrated...
"Hufufu..."
More than a dozen fireballs streaked across the sky, and then fell diagonally downward toward the river.
With a "boom" sound, one of the fireballs hit a warship belonging to Xu Huang's rear army.
"Be careful! Get out of the way!"
The soldiers on Xu Huang's warships roared loudly.
But it's too late.
The fireball's chaotic splashing flames not only devoured the bodies of the nearby soldiers, but also ignited the items stacked on the ship.
Normally, the rear army will not directly participate in the battle, but is used to store baggage and consumables, and now these things are being targeted by Lu Xun...
Another fireball fell, and fragments of flames flew.
The soldiers burned by the flames let out bursts of screams, which immediately caused Xu Huang's rear army soldiers to panic. Most of the Sichuan-Shu navy troops who were arranged in the rear army were not as tough as the front army and the middle army.
.
This is a normal configuration. Unless there is some special strategic arrangement, who would put the most elite combat forces in the rear army to stare at the food and fodder in a daze?
But now Xu Huang did not advance by land and water. At the same time, as soon as he entered the battlefield, he fell into an entanglement with Jiang Qin and did not have time to divide his troops and go to the shore to check. The most important point is that Xu Huang did not follow Zhuge Liang's suggestion and felt that
His military strength could already overwhelm Jiangdong, so he wanted to make a quick decision and sent troops immediately after receiving supplies.
Xu Huang's rear army was attacked, and the array of ships was immediately in a panic. Jiang Qin seized the opportunity and pounced on the entire army.
??????????.??????
"The ship is about to collide! Get ready to dock!"
"boom!"
The two ships collided hard.
There was a tooth-aching creaking sound, and sawdust flew everywhere.
The soldiers who failed to stand firm on the deck fell into the water.
"Up, up, up!" Jiang Qin shouted, jumping onto the Sichuan-Shu Navy warship first.
Several Sichuan and Shu soldiers came to kill him.
Jiang Qin swung his sword and swept across it, causing a bloody light, and roared: "Kill! Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
While he was slashing, an arrow suddenly whizzed over and pierced Jiang Qin's chest.
Jiang Qin shouted and staggered immediately.
The Sichuan and Shu soldiers on the battleship thought that Jiang Qin was dead, so their morale was greatly boosted. They shouted and rushed forward again, trying to kill Jiang Qin and Jiangdong soldiers under Jiang Qin and get off the ship.
"Ahhhhh..."
As a result, before the Sichuan and Shu soldiers could kill Jiang Qin and others, Jiang Qin rushed up again, still carrying half of the broken arrows, and rushed into the Sichuan and Shu soldiers, as if wounded.
Like a tiger, it was slashing wildly.
If the general is like this, Jiangdong's soldiers will also attack them like crazy.
The Sichuan and Shu soldiers did not know what was going on, and some thought that Jiang Qin was invulnerable or that he had come back from the dead. They were shaken and felt that Jiang Qin was invincible, so they turned around and ran away.
Due to the bumping and shaking of the ship, the arrows in water battles often can only be scattered within a general range, and their strength is not as good as that of longbowmen on land. Moreover, as a general, Jiang Qin's armor protection is also limited.
It was not bad. Although the arrow penetrated the body, it was not too deep. Jiang Qin fought with injuries and was very brave.
Xu Huang's front army was suppressed and beaten by Jiang Qin, and the rear army was hit by a burst of fireballs. The entire army formation collapsed.
Blood and fire dance together.
Xu Huanghe...
As it is now, Xu Huang can't fly.
Xu Huang knew that he was careless and fell into an ambush by the enemy.
There are only two options now. One is to defeat Jiang Qin and destroy the Jiangdong water village with the fireballs coming from the mountains. Then the Jiangdong soldiers on the shore will naturally collapse. The other is to temporarily withdraw the troops and wait for regrouping.
Fight again.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Huang decided to retreat temporarily.
He felt that Yidao's Jiangdong navy was not worth fighting for.
"Withdraw troops!"
Xu Huang ordered.
The sound of ringing gold resounded on the water, and along with the ripples of blood and river water, it also reached Lu Xun's ears on the high platform of the water village.
Lu Xun closed his eyes, the flesh of his cheeks moved, and then opened them. Some apology and sorrow flashed in his eyes, but they soon turned into determination, "Now! Attack with all your strength!"
Let the flag wave.
In the water village, dozens of walking gangs were like wild horses running wildly along the gaps among the surface battleships!
Because of the relationship between the current and the wind, it is easy to go down the river, but when you want to turn around and go back, the often mentioned sentence will naturally appear, "It's easy for a small boat to turn around."
When Xu Huang attacked, the battle formation formed by large and small ships was able to maintain the original array, but when it came time to go back, the large and small ships could no longer maintain their original position. The small ships must turn around and retreat first, so that the big ships could have space to maneuver.
.
And Lu Xun's final blow was Tu Qiong Dagger's view.
The roaring fireballs can only disrupt the array, burn and damage the materials on the surface of some ships, but if you want to rely on fireballs to directly burn down the building ships, the success rate is actually very low. If the Jiangdong Army cannot seize the opportunity to destroy these ships as a surface battle
If the core building ship is built, the Sichuan-Shu Army will repair some minor damage at any time and then make a comeback.
The manufacturing cycle of large-scale ships is "physically" constant and long. Even if manpower or financial resources are added, it may not be shortened much. After all, it is the Han Dynasty that was restricted in many aspects such as materials and technology.
Especially the shipbuilding craftsmen in Sichuan and Sichuan, compared with Jiangdong, there is a very big gap.
This means that if Jiangdong, which has suffered heavy losses, urgently recruits new buildings, or purchases the building ships of some large local noble families, and starts building new building ships in the shipyard, the speed at which Jiangdong can regain its surface combat effectiveness can be said to be unparalleled at the moment.
The world.
Moreover, because of the dense water network in Jiangdong, many Jiangdong people have lived on the water since they were born, so like the northern barbarians, they have a bonus to certain combat modes.
This leads to the fact that in history, Jiang Dongsun obviously gave away 100,000 to his left, but later he could give another 100,000 to his right. He gave another 100,000 to the front, and after a while he got another 100,000...
Time passed little by little.
The distance between Zou Ke and the Sichuan-Shu military building and ship is also shortening little by little.
The sun is getting westward, stretching the figure far in front, shining directly on the water of the Yangtze River...
Jiang Qin had already retreated from the front line of fighting, and under the protection of his guards, he took off his armor. The blood-stained shirt was already red, and Doctor Jin Chuang on the side quickly came up to treat the wound.
It was originally just a puncture wound, but because he failed to remove the arrowhead in time, Jiang Qin fought with the wound again, causing the wound to pull, the arrowhead stirring and cutting in the flesh, and now it formed a large and hideous wound.
Jiang Qin, who had lost a lot of blood, turned pale, but his attention was not on his wounds. Instead, he stared at the battlefield in the distance and suddenly said: "We are going to win."
The surrounding guards were stunned for a moment, and then they all looked up and looked into the distance. As a result, they could only see the broken fleet lying in front of them, as well as corpses and shipwrecks floating in the river.
"Didn't you see? Those walkers are coming up." Jiang Qin said, "As long as the Sichuan-Shu Tower ship is damaged, we will win."
"Winning", even if this victory is "calculated", at the moment, it can be regarded as a "great achievement".
Just like the national football team of later generations, it is not about being strong, but thanking God and thanking friends for showing mercy.
"We won?" The guard couldn't help but feel a little excited, "Really?"
Jiang Qin watched the doctor bandage the wound, touched it lightly with his hand, stood up, put on a new shirt, and said, "Send the order, move towards the south bank."
There are many shipwrecks tangled together in the middle area of the river, many of which are still burning on the water, with black smoke billowing to obscure the view. The fleet deviated from the center of the river and moved closer to the south bank. The warships blocking the view in front moved little by little.
After driving, Jiang Qin saw the scene in the distance, and just as he expected, the Sichuan Shulou boat that fell behind was being chased by Zu Ke...
The walking wheel was equipped with a bumper and filled with kerosene.
Once the Sichuan-Shu Tower ship is nailed, it can instantly turn the ship into a burning sea of fire!
Jiang Qin squinted and looked at the mess on the Yangtze River. He also saw the walking boats in front of him, as well as the Jiangdong soldiers on the walking boats...
Tears suddenly fell from his eyes.
Tears fell down his cheeks and disappeared into his beard.
This was not only the result of his risking his life and his flesh and blood, but also the result of his sacrifice, his private soldiers, and the flesh and blood of ordinary Jiangdong soldiers.
Those Jiangdong soldiers walking among Ke were all dead soldiers.
Although theoretically there is a chance to jump off the ship and dive to escape before the fire burns, in practice, often due to one or another reason, if you are a little slow, you will be burned by the fire, or even directly burned to death.
Even if it is a small-scale burn, in the Han Dynasty, soaking the skin in river water after being burned was basically the same as the God of Death pushing Pai Gow.
"One ship, two ships..."
Jiang Qin slowly counted the Sichuan-Sichuan boats that were surrounded, bitten, and set on fire by Ke Ke.
The Sichuan-Sichuan Forward Army was originally fighting with Jiang Qin's troops, so when they evacuated, they naturally fell behind and were quickly overtaken by Zouke. The Sichuan-Shu Forward Army's buildings and ships were lost a lot in the previous battle.
Without the escort of ships and soldiers, the rudders and oars of the ships would inevitably be damaged, and they would not be able to move faster even if they wanted to.
Zu Ke continued to move forward and caught up with Xu Huang's army.
"Very good, the third ship..." Jiang Qin clenched his fist tightly and feinted in the air, but soon his eyes widened, "What is that?"
