Liu Ling was just waiting for the wind to stop. Yes, with the help of the wind, attacking from south to north, the rockets had a certain lethality. But the wind was too strong, and not every rocket shot down in the Zhou army's camp could be maintained.
Burning. Wind can support combustion and extinguish fire. The premise is to see how big the burning thing is. If you light a pile of firewood, it will burn out quickly if the strong wind blows. If it is a candle, you don't need strong wind to burn it.
blow out.
Compared with the rocket, Liu Ling needs to wait for the wind to be lighter, because of the modified riprap trucks installed on the ship. The wind is too strong, and the risk of operating the riprap truck on the ship is too high. Even if you take the risk of projecting the gunpowder package, such a big
The wind will also blow the gunpowder packets away. Liu Ling did want to set the camp on fire, but he didn't use rockets. The wind is needed, but it doesn't need to be too strong.
When the wind dropped, Xu Sheng, who was watching the flag on the deck, laughed wildly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The wind has dropped!"
He ran into the cabin with a smile, excitement on his face.
Liu Ling smiled and said: "Go and order the fleet to set off!"
Xu Sheng sighed, turned around and ran out again. With the wind, the distance of six or seven miles could be crossed quickly. Liu Ling didn't have the ability to build a large ship, but he could modify the original ship. In Huazhou
In those nearly two months, he refitted the more than 20 large ships of Zhou Jun's navy in Huazhou. As for the news that Zhou Jun got that the Han army burned all the ships, it was just a trick played by Liu Ling to deceive others.
It's just a means.
Every two big ships are nailed together with wooden planks, which is more thorough than the linking method used by the navy of Cao Cao's army during the Battle of Red Cliff. But it doesn't matter, Liu Ling is not afraid of being burned. First of all, every two ships are connected together, even if
In the event of a fire attack, there will be no situation where hundreds or thousands of warships cannot be separated. He connected the ships not for water warfare, but to build a launch platform for the trebuchet. On land, once the trebuchet appears,
, the Zhou army would immediately attack like crazy, destroying the trebuchet no matter how great the losses were. Moreover, in order to confuse the Zhou army this time, the Han army did not even have a trebuchet in the Feilongpo camp.
Take it with you.
When the sentries on duty in the Zhou army's camp vaguely saw several huge black figures swimming in the Fuyuan Canal a few hundred meters away, they immediately blew the warning horn. Pei Zhan had ordered the entire camp to be on alert.
The soldiers had just assembled in panic when they heard the shrill sound of the horn. Pei Zhan had already put on his armor. After walking out of the tent, he looked at the gathering troops and said: "Qu Sheng, order the cavalry to be ready. Once the Han army comes to attack,
Camp, you immediately lead 30,000 cavalry to counterattack the Han army camp. I bet that Liu Ling is in the camp. I promised you that I will give you a chance to fight Liu Ling head-on. I will give you 30,000 men.
Qi, I will help you and make you a great achievement!"
Qu Sheng bowed to accept the order, feeling uncontrollable excitement in his heart. He has been waiting for this day. What is the greatest achievement as a general? Is pacifying the world considered the ultimate? If you have the opportunity and ability to pacify the world,
Wouldn't it be more glorious if someone fell down? The feeling of being trampled under your feet by an invincible general who has won every battle must be very good.
Qu Sheng knew that this opportunity was given to him by His Royal Highness the King of Zhou. The Han army only had 40,000 people. Even if there was a sneak attack by the Han army on the waterway, let's say that the Han army could safely cross the swamp and look at the dozens of large ships.
Shadow, how many Han troops can it hold? Ten thousand people is already the limit. If the total of fifty thousand Han troops were to attack, would it be possible to break through the camp with 120,000 Zhou troops already prepared for defense?
There is no doubt that the answer is no.
The Han army's camp was empty. He led 30,000 cavalry to counterattack. As long as Liu Ling was in the camp, the outcome was already doomed. When he thought that he was about to cut off the head of Liu Ling, the king of Han, Qu Sheng's blood became boiling.
.No! You have to capture them alive, that is the greatest achievement! In the future, your feat today will definitely leave a strong mark in the history books! Leave your name in history, as a general, what else is more impressive than this?
What makes people excited?
"I am willing to capture Liu Ling and make him kneel at His Highness's feet!"
Qu Sheng said loudly.
"Very good, I want this kind of promise from you. My general, go ahead and take the 30,000 cavalry given to you by King Gu, crush the Han army's camp, and capture Liu Ling to see Gu!"
Qu Sheng gave Pei Zhan a military salute, and then hurried towards the cavalry camp. He couldn't wait to make that earth-shattering military exploit!
Pei Zhan looked at the huge black figures in the direction of Fuyuan Canal to the west and curled his lips. Liu Ling, King of Han Dynasty? It's nothing more than that. Not to mention whether your team that sneaked in from the waterway can get through that swamp.
, even if your men and horses can charge over, how can you face the thousands of archers deployed by the lonely king? They say that you, Liu Ling, are like a god with soldiers. When we meet today, you are really not as famous as the one you meet.
Pei Zhan sneered and ordered loudly: "Archers, be prepared, don't be stingy with your arrows. When the enemy is approaching, shoot them with random arrows immediately!"
The generals suddenly accepted the order and returned to their own ranks to direct the battle.
The reason why Pei Zhan dismissed the Han army coming by water was that the Han army had too few ships. He didn't know what method Liu Ling used to build more than a dozen huge warships in just two months.
Come. But he knew that no matter how big those warships were, they would never be able to transport a hundred thousand troops. It was just a dream to break through the camp with that small number of troops.
However, even if he thought about it, he would never have imagined that the Han army's navy was not here to land on the beach, but to carry out long-range bombing. No one would have thought that Liu Ling would actually move the riprap truck onto the ship. The riprap truck
The huge force during launch can overturn the entire ship. This is impossible, so no one will think in that direction. And Liu Ling can often do things that no one can imagine.
More than a dozen riprap trucks slowly started to move. Liu Ling's modified riprap truck no longer used manpower, but relied on power to launch. Fuyuan Canal was only a few hundred meters away from the Zhou Army's camp, and the riprap truck's range was
It is still a mile away. At this distance, more than a dozen trebuchets are enough to knock everyone over in the Zhou army's camp.
Not long after, Qu Sheng led 30,000 cavalry and rushed out from the camp gate and went straight to the Han army's camp. Qu Sheng and his cavalry deliberately made a big detour towards the Han army's camp in order to avoid encountering the incoming Han soldiers.
The army came into contact. His goal was to capture Liu Ling, not to kill the 40,000 Han troops. There were still 120,000 troops in the camp, which was more than enough to deal with 40,000 Han troops.
The cavalry team roared out. Not long after they rushed out of the camp, the Han army's night attack team appeared in the sight of the Zhou army guarding the camp. Although the night was very dark, the momentum of the tens of thousands of troops pressing down was still impressive.
Can feel it clearly.
"Prepare the ballistae. As soon as the Han army enters the range, launch it immediately!"
A Zhou army general ordered in a cold voice.
The soldiers of the Zhou army operating the crossbow immediately became busy, adjusting the angle and direction of the crossbow.
Seeing that the Han army on the opposite side was about to enter the shooting range, suddenly, someone let out a sharp shout: "What is in the sky!?"
What is it?
It is the wrath of thunder.
More than a dozen powder packets the size of millstones fell from the sky. Because the distance needed to be adjusted, two of the dozen powder packets had their fuses left too long. They were smashed without exploding after landing. The other dozen or so powder packets all had fuses that were too long.
There was an explosion. For the Han soldiers who were already familiar with operating the gunpowder trebuchet, it was a bit embarrassing for them that the two gunpowder bags did not explode. After all, the King of Han was right beside them watching them.
A dozen huge roars were heard, and even the night was torn apart.
Under the dazzling firelight, iron nails flying like bullets killed a large number of Zhou army soldiers. The solemn and solemn atmosphere of the Zhou army camp, which was originally prepared for battle, was immediately destroyed by the explosion. The soldiers had long heard that the Han army could use a
Powerful firearms, like the fury of thunder. Today they finally saw this gunpowder packet, which was equivalent to a nuclear weapon in this era. The roar and explosion made their hearts burst with fear.
This is an irresistible force and a punishment from heaven.
Liu Ling is a modern man. He knows what it means to have long-range strike weapons in his hands. Although he cannot make muskets and cannons, he can make gunpowder bags. With the continuous research of the Five Branches of the Overwatch Council, the power of gunpowder bags
It also became bigger and bigger. From this point on, Liu Ling had to admire the wisdom of the ancients. He just gave a direction, and professionals from the Fifth Division of the Overwatch Council quickly paved a smooth road in this direction.
.
Liu Ling is not a god or a creator. He can change the times with the little knowledge in his mind. This is already a pioneering work.
Just as the Zhou army was panicking, the second wave of bombings came. This time, after adjustments, the explosion rate of more than a dozen gunpowder packets reached 100%. After another dozen loud noises, the defense was already extremely low.
Seven or eight hundred archers have been knocked down. More people were injured by iron nails. Although they have not lost their combat effectiveness, it is obvious that psychologically, their fighting spirit has begun to collapse.
Pei Zhan's eyes widened suddenly. He really couldn't believe that those big ships of the Han army were just... just here to project gunpowder packets!
The continuous explosions also shook Pei Zhan's mind to pieces!
Just when the Zhou army was in chaos, the 40,000 Han troops began a fearless attack on the Zhou army's camp. With 40,000 troops, they launched an attack against an army of more than 100,000 people. Even though it was in the dark, it was already impressive.
Your courage is commendable. The 40,000 Han troops were divided into four groups, with the cavalry as arrows and the infantry behind them, coming overwhelmingly.
The Zhou army's archers started to fight back in panic, and many Han army's cavalry were shot off their horses. But then, the Han army did something that was beyond the expectations of everyone in the Zhou army. They had obviously rushed to the battlefield.
The Han cavalry not far outside the camp suddenly made a circle and then went back, just like the ebbing tide, which made people confused. The Han cavalry left hundreds of corpses and retreated. What was it doing?
The answer is to continue the bombardment.
After the Han cavalry retreated, nearly 30,000 infantrymen protected a total of 300 repeating fire ballistas, which were already 300 meters away. (To be continued)
