Chapter 3450 Back-up preparation
Dajiang.
In the mountains.
At this moment, the river is green with green mountains and waters.
Although it is late autumn, the mountains and forests are still densely vegetation, and green yellow and red leaves rustle under the river breeze.
The battle between the Sichuan and Shu army and the Jiangdong army briefly stagnated.
Neither side can defeat the opponent's front line in a short time. It is difficult to open up the situation in a short time on the front battlefield, so there will be two different options.
Attack hard and open the gap.
Stir, pull out the formation.
The fierce generals often like to use the first method, while the generals who like to think often adopt the second mode.
For Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, they almost knew that the other party had two methods and they would use them.
Zhou Tai looked at the messenger and frowned, "What does the governor really say?"
The new order is different from what was issued before!
Before, Zhou Yu asked Zhou Tai to ambush here, waiting for the Sichuan and Shu army to come, and was waiting for the signal to raid the flanks or the rear.
Now Zhou Yu has changed his original order, so that Zhou Tai will not have to wait for the signal and will lead his troops to attack sideways.
The messenger confirmed.
Zhou Tai received the order and nodded, "Since that's the case, my subordinates obey the order."
Although Zhou Tai is not a very smart person, he has innate intuition about the situation of war and even danger. Now his intuition is reminding him that things are not good now.
Zhou Tai felt more and more that his previous uneasiness was correct.
But he couldn't tell him where the place was wrong. In addition, he had already searched the surrounding area with great fanfare before. Now if he said something about it, the soldiers in Jiangdong would probably not think that Zhou Tai was cautious, but Zhou Tai was sick again.
So Zhou Tai had no choice but to order forward, follow Zhou Yu's orders to go out of the mountains and go to the back line of the Sichuan and Shu army.
When passing by the forest I had inspected before, Zhou Tai went in and checked it for a while, but still no trace was found on the ground.
I just felt that there were more bugs on the ground.
The difference between a river and a river is that most of the rivers are rocks on both sides.
Between rocks and rocks, there is a mountain stream that is not a road.
The road is not easy to walk, and some places even need to climb by people's ladders.
Because the equipment of the Jiangdong soldiers was not completely unified, Zhou Tai's direct troops were different from other Jiangdong soldiers. Therefore, when the operation was carried out, each soldier prepared and carried it on his own, and the styles and materials were different. Therefore, when the Jiangdong soldiers marched, they would show some messy feeling.
Zhou Tai stood on a rock, still scanning the surrounding mountains and forests with some anxiety.
Various green, yellow and red colors in the mountains and forests are stained with multi-layered and varied colors under the black and gray background.
Perhaps this kind of scenery will make those who have been in steel and concrete in later generations feel beautiful and full of vitality, but in Zhou Tai's eyes, he feels the cold autumn wind and murderous intent hidden.
Some Jiangdong soldiers fell down while climbing up a rock. Fortunately, they didn't fall seriously. Some people were busy checking the wounds that were falling or rubbing out, and some were swearing and mumbling something.
The soldiers in Jiangdong are good at staying on ships. The swaying hull will make them feel like they are sleeping on a rocking bed and will not be in any seasickness at all. However, after standing on land, they become a little "dizzy".
Zhou Tai looked at it, and his anxiety became even stronger.
There is no problem with the Jiangdong soldiers in fighting ambushing or siege.
Because, in any case, the disadvantage of waiting in one place and moving speed on land is slower than that of soldiers in other places, it can almost be regarded as non-existent when it is still in place.
So Zhou Tai set out in advance and arrived at the ambush place in advance.
But now it is not an ambush, but a march, or a march through the land and climbing the mountain road...
This weakness of the Jiangdong Army was more obvious.
"What does the governor want to do?"
Zhou Tai muttered.
For soldiers, Zhou Tai is a big shot, and for Zhou Tai, Zhou Yu is a big shot.
When a big man speaks, a small man is not qualified to speak.
Zhou Tai knew that when he issued an order, he would not care whether these Jiangdong soldiers would be injured and die if they fell after climbing a mountain rock. Similarly, when Zhou Yu issued an order, he would not care whether Zhou Tai would be injured and die.
Zhou Tai also knew that if his troops were killed or injured in the battle, he would go to the injured troops with a sad look on his face after he returned, saying that the troops were a heroic warrior and he died gloriously...
So, what if I was killed or injured?
Zhou Tai turned his head and looked towards the direction of the river. Although his vision was blocked by the rocky mountains, he could still vaguely hear the roar of war drums.
Zhou Tai suddenly had a feeling in his heart.
Zhou Yu's fight did not go smoothly.
If everything goes well in Zhou Yu's fight, then now he should follow the plan step by step, not...
On the other side.
Gan Ning stared at the soldiers in Jiangdong, his face wrinkled.
The Jiangdong Army came for them.
But it seems that it is not like I have discovered them, but rather that I am rushing to the road, with a scattered formation and divided into several pieces.
If you do nothing and hide in the mountains and forests, these Jiangdong troops will most likely pass under Gan Ning and the others...
But the question is, is it really good to let them go?
Zhuge Liang has not developed a system of tricks yet, so of course it is impossible to give Gan Ning any special instructions.
Originally, Zhuge Liang's plan was similar to Zhou Yu's plan, but because Gan Ning was one step slower than Zhou Tai, it became hidden in the mountains and forests as a means of the oriole being behind.
But now that the Jiangdong Army had abnormal movements in advance, Gan Ning was forced to make a choice, should we attack this abnormal movement of Jiangdong Army, or to attack the Jiangdong camp according to the original plan?
Indeed, if this Jiangdong army is released, it is likely that a gap will be formed, which will help Gan Ning to raid Jiangdong Water Village. However, in the same way, there will be corresponding formation omissions on his own side!
Although all tactics depend on changing families, when you really want to make this decision, you must not only have the determination to lose everything, but also sneak a few farmers out to build wild bases.
Gan Ning turned his head and looked towards the east.
If he didn't attack the Jiangdong Army's side army, could Zhuge Liang and the others defend themselves? If the Jiangdong Army succeeded in the attack, then would it be considered successful even if his sneak attack on the Jiangdong Army's water camp?
『General, what should we do?』
The soldiers from Sichuan and Shu asked Gan Ning.
Gan Ning gritted his teeth, "Immortal Banban, you can't just let them go and beat them up!"
Gan Ning finally decided to change the original combat goal.
It is too dangerous to let the Jiangdong Army go so easily. What if the Sichuan and Shu Army did not take appropriate precautions?
No, this Jiangdong army must be intercepted!
"We want to stop them! We are all ready! Follow my orders and we will do it together!"
...
...
Dajiang.
water surface.
"boom!"
A sound like thunder sounded on the river.
This roar also broke the original mutual mirror attack and completely opened up the gap in the arms of both sides!
With the roar of artillery fire, a "bang" sound, accompanied by the terrifying screams of the soldiers of the Jiangdong Navy's soldiers, a cannonball roared, smashing a big hole in the deck of a Jiangdong Navy's ship, rushing into the cabin, creating a flesh-and-blood alley in the cabin!
The soldiers working in the cabin of Jiangdong were either dead, injured, or fleeing in horror, and the entire warship suddenly stopped!
Not only that, the shells may have directly smashed the cabin, or components such as keels, destroyed the entire Jiangdong Dou Ship structure, causing the Dou Ship to quickly start to tilt, and then raised its butt and sank to the bottom of the river in almost instant.
The Jiangdong Army on the battlefield was shocked for a moment.
Some things can indeed make up for a certain gap by relying on personal abilities.
It's like a lion leading the flock of sheep and fighting with another flock of sheep, then there is a high probability that the flock of sheep led by the lion will win.
But what if the opponent is not a flock of sheep?
『That's... artillery? So that's it...』
Zhou Yu stared at the rising cigarette and lost the ability to speak for a while.
Even though he saw artillery for the first time, he quickly realized that the entire surface combat... no, all combat forms and modes of the entire world will undergo huge changes due to the emergence of artillery!
The eyeliner he arranged in Guanzhong also mentioned such magical, terrifying, and indescribable weapons, but Zhou Yu was half-believing and half-doubted at the beginning, and it was true that he saw it now.
Zhou Yu stared at the ship that was hit.
No one in Jiangdong has ever seen artillery in fact, but it does not hinder human instinct for danger. Many people subconsciously hide behind bunkers, or simply jump into the ship to escape. The Jiangdong ship around the hit ship was also turning to escape in panic. Even the Jiangdong soldiers who escaped in the water were struggling to stay away from the artillery.
Zhou Yu slowly exhaled and calmed himself down. After all, Zhou Yu was a veteran of all kinds of battles. Even if he was facing a new thing, after a brief loss of consciousness, he would immediately put reason in a high position again.
As the commander, Zhou Yu knew very well that if he was panicking, then what would happen to ordinary soldiers and armors be even more conceivable. Although Zhou Yu, like ordinary Jiangdong soldiers, faced new weapons and did not have much experience in this area, this required him to calm down and stabilize Jiangdong's morale.
Zhou Yu squinted his eyes and stared at it, and then he found that not all Sichuan and Shu ships had artillery on them.
If this is true, then he doesn't have to fight anymore and just orders the withdrawal of troops.
Zhou Yu saw that there were only artillery on the tower ship, and there was only one at the head of the ship.
"boom!"
There was another loud bang.
However, this time, he did not successfully hit the deck or side of the Jiangdong Navy ship, but hit the upper wooden building of the Jiangdong ship, smashing half of the wooden wall. It looked quite miserable, but in fact it had little impact on the ship's navigation ability.
Zhou Yu nodded, and he knew a little bit in his heart.
Although this thing is powerful, its launch speed is not fast, and its accuracy is not so accurate. The first shot hit the hull deck directly and destroyed a Jiangdong Dou Ship, but it was just a coincidence.
"See?!" Zhou Yu shouted loudly, letting the soldiers and military academy around him regain their fighting spirit. "Not every time you can shoot! And if you are shot, you won't be sunk in the ship!"
The facts were right in front of him. Seeing that Zhou Yu was calm and calm, the soldiers in Jiangdong also recovered some morale.
"Send the order! Avoid the head of the ship in Sichuan and Shulou! Cruise up from both sides!"
Zhou Yu gave the order and sneered, "Is this forcing me to surround the two wings and then give up the middle lane? That's just right!"
...
...
When they saw the Jiangdong Navy ships being hit, damaged, or even overturned, they cheered together.
For a moment, the sound of cavalry victories was endless.
I have to say that Zhuge Liang is versatile.
He cooperated with the craftsmen to solve many problems in how artillery cannons are erected on ships.
Although these problems are also being studied in Guanzhong, they cannot be shared in real time for the man who has inconvenient information transmission. Therefore, even if Guanzhong has made any progress, Sichuan and Shu may not be able to know. Without Zhuge Liang's assistance and solving many problems in actual lifting and installation projects, there will be no roar of artillery that shocked Jiangdong now.
In fact, in this era, the power of artillery was not as powerful as that of a large catapult.
The stone bullets of large catapults are often several times or more than ten times the weight of artillery shells, so the destructive power it brings is naturally much greater than that of artillery. After all, artillery is subject to more binding force by production technology, and as long as there are giant trees, the bigger the tree can be...
If you want to make heavy artillery, the artillery itself will be so bulky that it is difficult to maneuver, and there is not so much metal used to cast heavy artillery artillery in large quantities.
Just like the cannons pressed on the building ships now, they are actually small cannons.
The only advantage is that the accuracy of the artillery and the attack frequency will be better than those of large catapults.
Moreover, the large catapults are used to deal with fixed objects and solid mixed earth city walls. Now, no matter from which angle you look at, one ship on the water is counted as one. Even if it is equipped with iron armor and hit the corners, it still cannot withstand the bombardment of the artillery at a close range.
Therefore, under the bombardment of the Sichuan and Shu army artillery, several fighting ships of the Jiangdong Army that tried to approach the Sichuan and Shu tower ships were either sunk or injured. In a short while, the entire Jiangdong Army's offensive was interrupted...
But soon, new instructions came from the rear of the Jiangdong Army.
The Jiangdong Army, who received the new order, threw down the damaged and even sunken fighting ships and began to change their formation.
Xu Huang stood on the top of the building and looked left and right, "Kong Ming, Jiangdong really made way out of the middle!"
『This cannon is indeed powerful!』 Xu Huang slapped his hands, 『Now I know what the cavalry said, "The ship is strong and the cannon is powerful, and it is invincible." It's a pity that the cannon costs a lot... If there are so many hundreds or thousands of cannons, who in the world dares to compete with the lord?!"
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly after hearing this, "The general said very much, but... at this moment, the Jiangdong navy has not yet come out... This Zhou Gongjin is still ready to make a backup plan..."
『There is still a backup plan?』 Xu Huang asked, 『Is Kong Ming saying that there is still a backup plan for the Jiangdong Army above this water surface?』
Previously, Zhuge Liang said that the Jiangdong Army might have sent two groups of side troops to attack, one by one, one by one, and one by one, which Xu Huang understood this point, but now Zhuge Liang said that Zhou Yu had some backup plans on the water, which made Xu Huang a little difficult to understand.
Zhuge Liang looked at the battlefield.
The soldiers have no constant momentum and the water has no fixed shape.
Maybe the little baby you took out can shock the opponent a little, but the strength of this shock is actually a big gap between the upper and lower limits...
It’s like some people think they are big, but maybe they just cooperate with others. Oh oh oh um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um
After all, these days, more and more people have gone through thousands of mountains and rivers.
The artillery is heavy, and the structure and size of the ship are not quickly and automatically adapted because of the appearance of the artillery. Although the cannons are roaring and majestic, it is not completely without any problems.
From Guanzhong, the artillery transported from thousands of miles away were not large.
Even if you are too big, you won't be lucky.
Now this small artillery can deal a heavy blow to the Jiangdong Army, mainly because of the suppression of the material.
It was like bronze suppressing obsidian, and black iron suppressing bronze.
Jin Kemu.
This is the wisdom of our ancestors for thousands of years.
However, the current artillery architecture is not perfect.
First of all, the artillery was set on the bow of the ship, replacing the original position of the eight-bed three-gun crossbow, but the weight was much larger than the crossbow, which forced the tower ship to add some ballast to the stern to maintain the balance between the head and tail. Secondly, the center of gravity of the artillery on the midline is obviously not as stable as the center of gravity distributed between the two wings. In rivers, lakes and seas, there may be no big problem, but if the wind and waves are stronger, this disadvantage may cause the ship to capsize.
Another important point is that the artillery is now semi-exposed. Although it can give the Jiangdong Army a very direct visual shock, the same gunners and craftsmen who operate the artillery may be under great threat.
These all require further improvements, and improvements require time, materials, and even more redesign, and a new building and ship structure that can cooperate with the artillery.
So now there are sharp weapons, but other things are not matched. Just like during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the six kingdoms also created several peerless swords, but they could not defeat the Qin State, which was still using bronzes on a large scale.
Zhuge Liang watched the Jiangdong naval army begin to spread to the two wings and exposed Zhou Yu's midfield, and couldn't help but shake his head, "Zhou Gongjin, it's really... If someone expected it, he was just using his plan..."
