Gan Ning stood on the bow of the ship, holding a telescope and looking at the Wu warships that were speeding upstream. He said: "The Wu warships are lined up on the river, patrolling back and forth. It seems that they don't want us to pass through here. Send the order."
, speed up, let the sailors work harder, and we will arrive soon."
"No!" Linghu Shao clasped his fists and turned around to inform the flag bearer on the ship. The flag bearer sent signals to the warships behind him. He quickly ran to the cabin, followed the stairs, and went directly to the lowest level of the warship.
The warship has a total of five floors, and the lowest floor is the operation room. The Chinese warship is different from other warships in that it is operated by manpower. It only borrows wind power when the wind is going smoothly. When going upstream, it relies entirely on manpower to pedal on bicycles and pass through.
A series of mechanisms drive large rollovers on both sides of the warship. The rollover and rollover drive the giant warship to slide. Therefore, from the outside, the Chinese warship looks like it is treading water on the water, without being affected by the current at all.
On the bottom floor of the warship, five hundred soldiers were sitting on bicycles, pedaling hard. Everyone was very busy. In addition, there were five hundred soldiers sitting in the lounge at the bottom of the ship. In order to keep the ship moving,
Therefore, every such warship has
It is equipped with a thousand sailors for two shifts. Pedaling bicycles uses gears to transmit power and drive the rolling of the overturn. It also exercises the sailors' leg skills, so once these sailors get off the ship and go ashore, they can start running.
It's also very fast.
As soon as Linghu Shao entered the bottom of the cabin, he shouted loudly: "The general has an order to speed up!"
After giving the order, almost 500 soldiers who had rested came out of the rest room one after another, and then took their places, sitting on the small stools at the bottom of the cabin. At the same time, they took out the wood pulp from their sides, opened the window at the bottom of the cabin, and opened the window at the bottom of the cabin.
The wood pulp was all stretched out, and the oars were rowed in a row, with two hundred and fifty people on each side on the left and right, working together, and in conjunction with the pedaling of the other five hundred sailors, the entire warship immediately increased its speed.
Linghu Shao got on the deck and saw the warship flying. Before the Wu army's warship arrived, Huaxia's huge warship was already going upstream, almost as fast as going downriver.
On the warship, the helmsman firmly grasped the rudder and passed by the Wu warship. The soldiers on the deck looked at the surprised expressions of the soldiers on the small Wu warship below and couldn't help but smile.
Zhu Ran saw such a scene in the distance and couldn't help being surprised. People say that ships from the south and horses from the north have caught up with the Chinese shipbuilding technology. From now on, even if there are natural dangers in the Yangtze River, China can still withstand
How is the army?
"The Chinese nation is so powerful. I only thought that the Tiefutu was the most powerful military force. I didn't expect that the Chinese navy was even better than our army." Zhu Ran saw Gan Ning playing a common flag for sailors on the ship, and said,
It means saying hello to Wu Jun.
Seeing that he could no longer resist Gan Ning's fleet, Zhu Ran simply gathered up the navy and politely replied to the Chinese army with a flag, telling the soldiers of the Chinese army that they had a good journey. Finally, he led the navy back to the camp on the south bank. Because the two
The diplomatic relations between the two countries are very good, so they cannot be destroyed under the last resort. This is the basic national policy of Wu State.
This time, Gan Ning led a powerful naval force that had been trained for five years. He first crossed the sea from Tianjin Port to Jiangdu Port, and then received an imperial decree to lead half of the navy up the river to attack Xiangyang. However, Gao Fei gave
In his secret handbook, he ordered Gan Ning to
Along the way, we need to find out the strength of the Wu Kingdom's naval forces, and deliberately show off their power to the Wu Kingdom and put pressure on the Wu Kingdom's navy. We also need to understand the differences between Wu Kingdom's waters and water areas, where can we cross with big ships, and where can we move forward with light boats?
The purpose is the future unification war.
Unification is imperative. Although Gao Fei and Sun Ce's father Sun Jian had a verbal agreement, it was only a verbal agreement, and judging from Sun Ce's indifferent attitude towards Gao Fei, the Wu Kingdom did not want to be led by the nose by the Huaxia Kingdom.
.
Gao Fei was very foresight. Before sending troops to destroy the Han Dynasty, he had thoroughly thought out his way out, so he transferred Gan Ning's navy to Jiangdu Port, across the river from Qu'a Port in Soochow, for the purpose of once again
If a war broke out between the two sides, Gan Ning's navy could attack the Wu Kingdom with lightning speed and cooperate with the Chinese army in the battle.
Gan Ning's fleet quickly sailed past Zhu Ran's defense line, and half an hour later, they arrived at Jiangjin Port, which they had made an appointment with Sima Yi.
On the shore of Jiangjin Port, Sima Yi's army waited for a long time in the ice and snow. After seeing Gan Ning's army arriving, Sima Yi and Gan Ning exchanged greetings and immediately began to let the army board the ship.
This time Gan Ning led the fleet, the purpose was not to fight, but to transport the army across the river, so he only took a thousand sailors on each ship. Most of the navy soldiers stayed in Jingling, and some of them followed Chen
We arrived at Huarong Road.
The warships of the Huaxia Kingdom were carefully designed by Gao Fei. He could not design huge ships, but based on the shipbuilding technology of this era, adding a little of his own ideas, and mixing the Mohist mechanics, the current warships were created.
, to be precise, this is a warship used to transport troops. Each warship can carry four thousand people. In addition to sailors, it can also carry three thousand soldiers. It can be said to be the largest warship at this time.
At that time, in order to build such a large ship, Gao Fei and others also spent a lot of effort. After repeated experiments, they achieved today's achievements. The real warships of the Huaxia Kingdom did not appear at all this time, and were secretly gathered in Tianjin Port.
It is mainly used as a secret weapon and will not be taken out easily until there is a war with Wu State.
Within half a day, Gan Ning's fleet made several trips across the river, transporting all of Sima Yi's 40,000-strong army across the Yangtze River. After arriving on the other side, most of Sima Yi's men were seasick, so they could not rush forward and could only temporarily camp.
On the water bank, Gan Ning's fleet returned to the north bank and began to load grain and grass to deliver supplies to Sima Yi.
Nothing happened that night, and all the Chinese troops gathered together and rested on the spot.
………………
Outside Changsha City, Zhuge Liang's 110,000 Han and Barbarian combined forces retreated five miles across the line and withdrew their plans to surround Changsha. They were divided into five large camps in a Xuan Nang formation, with one battalion on the front, one on the left, and one on the left.
Fu Tong, Zhang Nan, Feng Xi, and Liu Min were sent to guard and strictly defend. He himself lived in the middle camp with Liu Yan, Xu Jing, Fei Guan and others.
Zhuge Liang was also unique in arranging military camps. There were five small camps in each large camp. The commander was in the middle and divided into forward, rear, left and right wings. He adopted an extremely tight defensive position. Once encountering an enemy attack, he would immediately
Support each other without looking disorganized.
There are five battalions of soldiers and horses, each battalion has 20,000 soldiers and horses, totaling 100,000. The other 10,000 are given to the Wuxi Barbarian King Shamoko to lead, responsible for inspecting the safety of the five camps. The selected barbarians are all elite barbarians.
Zhuge Liang also ordered people to hang up the banners of the Chinese army and uniformly remove the banners of the Han army. From a distance, it was very spectacular.
After nightfall, Zhou Yu stood on the tower and looked out. He saw brightly lit lights in the distance, which were illuminated as if they were half daylight. He said to Sun Ce who was standing next to him: "Your Majesty, I went to see it during the day. Zhuge Liang adopted the Xuan Sang formation.
, he also knows how to set up a camp, but if he has fewer soldiers, he may be able to exert the maximum power of this formation. If one side is in trouble, all sides can rescue him, but it is a pity that he
There are too many soldiers, and they are all mixed with barbarians. This is his shortcoming. Your Majesty just led a group of cavalry. After rushing into the camp, he turned left when he saw the roadside and waited for the troops to retreat.
We can withdraw our troops and return to the city. If this is done, the Han army's camp will inevitably be in chaos. Even if we can't force Zhuge Liang to submit, we can let him know how powerful our army is."
Sun Ce nodded, raised the mask in his hand, put it on, and said to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, I leave everything to you."
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"
The monarch and his ministers immediately separated, and Sun Ce went down from the city tower. Ling Cao, Xu Sheng, and three thousand armored cavalrymen who dared to die were all waiting at the city gate.
When Ling Cao saw Sun Ce coming, he hurriedly handed over Sun Ce's blood-drinking spear. The blood-drinking spear was made of black ice iron from the East China Sea.
Bleeding is like drinking blood, so it is called the blood-drinking gun. It is Sun Ce's favorite weapon. It weighs sixty-three kilograms. It feels cool in the hand and is a sharp weapon for killing people.
Sun Ce held the blood-drinking spear. The armor he wore had no markings on it, and the people behind him all wore ghost masks, named "Mountain Ghost Army". Sun Ce had used this trick when he defeated Shanyue.
With only a thousand cavalry, he killed more than 20,000 enemies.
The reason why he was dressed up like this today was because he did not want any conflict between the Wu Kingdom and the Huaxia Kingdom, so he wore a ghost mask and used the tricks he used to pacify Shanyue back then.
"Sirs, the moon is dark tonight and the wind is high. It is a good opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious service. As soon as you leave this city gate, you will no longer be the Wu army. You are all vicious ghosts seeking life. Many of our soldiers are
You will die in the hands of the Han army. Tonight, muster up your courage and go with me to claim your life from the Han army." Sun Ce turned his horse's head, raised the cold blood-drinking spear, raised his arms and shouted.
"Ask for your life from the Han army! Avenge your dead brothers!" Ling Cao, Xu Sheng and other three thousand cavalrymen shouted in unison.
Most of the soldiers in Soochow are clan brothers, that is, soldiers. Every time they fight, the people who die may be their relatives. In order to attack Jiangling this time, the Wu army lost more than 15,000 people. Let's talk about a few years ago.
The Han army once conquered Chaisang and killed more than 8,000 Wu soldiers. This blood debt was vivid in their minds, so once Sun Ce called him, he immediately felt hatred.
After seeing this, Sun Ce was overjoyed. As the saying goes, a soldier who mourns will win. If everyone is determined to die, they will definitely be able to defeat the enemy.
He turned his horse's head, ordered people to open the city gate, and then rushed out at the lead, shouting: "Kill!"
