Chapter 1527 Battle Lurong, musket vs cannon fodder
This is not to blame Luo Yi and Qi Xin, mainly because Linyi King Fan Fanzhi did not expect that the Han army would cross the sea from behind his butt and penetrate directly into his heart, so there was no such thing as Xianglin as the rear area.
No matter how many troops and horses are deployed, after all, as long as Lu Rong, Jiuzhen, Hengshan and other places in the front are not lost, logically speaking, it is impossible for the Han army to kill Xianglin.
However, the Han army actually came across the sea and killed Xianglin.
Before, Xianglin had gathered a lot of Linyi soldiers and horses. After all, this was the capital of Linyi. However, as Li Xun went south, the large army of soldiers and horses were transferred northward. As a result, in places like Lu Rong, the number of Linyi troops exceeded
to the elephant forest.
And without knowing the details of the Han army, Fan Fanzhi did not dare to launch a rash counterattack against Xiang Lin in a short period of time, especially since Lin Yi's army was basically a blank slate in terms of naval forces, and the few naval forces gathered across Lu Rong.
In terms of perfume, compared with the warships of the Han Dynasty, they are just some sampans and cannot be sold at all.
Xianglin City is an out-and-out seaside town. If Fan Fanzhi wants to capture Xianglin, he must at least defeat the Han army's navy. From the current point of view, he does not have such hardware level.
If Fan Fanzhi doesn't fight back, the Han army will naturally not be able to bask in the sun in the Elephant Forest. Although Luo Yi has to admit that the sunshine and beaches here are indeed good, especially in the north, Li Xun and Du Qi have encountered a lot of trouble, so Luo Yi and Qi
Xin took the initiative to target Lu Rong in order to open up the connection between the north and south of the Han army as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the army led by Luo Yi and Qi Xin would only have to supply and communicate by sea. In fact, it would be a lone army. As generals, they would still feel a little scared.
What's more, it is always good to eliminate some Linyi troops.
In the entire south of Hengshan, the only known place where Lin Yi's army gathered was Lu Rong.
However, no matter how courageous Luo Yi was, he would not dare to directly attack Fan Fanzhi by land before he knew Fan Fanzhi's specific troop arrangements. Li Xun had already suffered the loss of being attacked and harassed, so Luo Yi did not intend to
Follow in the footsteps.
The navy is naturally the best choice.
Therefore, now a naval warship appears on the sea outside Lurong with a total of 3,000 Han soldiers, and the target is Lurong Pier.
"The white robes don't have many people here, so they probably won't be able to help much. We have to rely on ourselves." Luo Yi joked, "You navy can't be stingy."
The two have become very familiar with each other after working together at sea for so long.
Although Qi Xin was born in the Chen Dynasty and Luo Yi was a Northern Zhou general, their common identity as generals of the Han Dynasty has allowed them to leave these past events behind, and everyone is now working hard for the cause of the Han Dynasty.
Qi Xin nodded with toothache.
It seems that this guy wants to empty out all the arrows and stone bullets he carries today.
"Report, enemy crossbowmen!"
The soldier in charge of the lookout shouted loudly from the mast.
Qi Xin hurriedly raised his clairvoyance. This thing is a powerful weapon at sea.
On the pier, the Linyi people were hurriedly forming formations. It was obvious that they were not used to the enemy's combat method of relying on the sea to come and go at will.
Immediately, the corners of Qi Xin's mouth raised, revealing a ferocious smile.
"The mantis arm is like a chariot, that's all. Send the order, the thunderbolt chariot is on guard, and the bed crossbow is on guard!"
With a sudden wave of his hand, Qi Xin's voice said: "Be prepared for war!"
"Ready for war!" The voices of generals sounded throughout the Qinglong Ship.
"Ready for war!" As the general's flag was raised, voices arose one after another on each ship.
And Luo Yi also tightened his grip on the handle of the knife, and the fight was about to break out!
"Bang bang!"
On Lu Rong Pier, smoke and dust were everywhere. To be precise, gun smoke was everywhere.
The musketeers lined up in a neat queue and marched forward. Every time they took a step forward, a row of Linyi people in front fell down. However, the Linyi people behind still shouted and charged forward, trying to use their chests to resist the bullets.
penetration.
There were only a few hundred Han troops on the dock, while the Linyi people opposite them were at least a thousand. The numbers on both sides were in sharp contrast, but the Linyi people could not advance even half a step in front of the muskets, and the ground was full of corpses.
Of course, Fan Fanzhi was not stupid enough to let the army directly attack the enemy's musketeers. In the previous contest with Li Xun and others, the Lin Yi people had fully realized the gap in strength between themselves and the Han people, and Fan Fanzhi
Naturally, Zhi's idea reached the common people of Linyi.
It is a bit strange to say that Linyi is a Buddhist state that has lasted for more than ten generations. It believes in orthodox Buddhism passed down from Tianzhu. It is also influenced by Buddhism in the Central Plains of China. However, the equality and peace advocated by Buddhism
Pursuing all sentient beings does not seem to be reflected in the country's society as a whole. The aloof rulers continue to strengthen their control over all sectors of society and achieve their own prosperity through the exploitation of ordinary people.
This also led to the fact that the nobility and royal family of Linyi were definitely considered wealthy in this poor and remote area in the south. The wealth looted by the Han army from the previous raids on Xianglin was enough to make up for half of the consumption of this army's southern expedition. This shows that the upper class of Linyi
Wealth. In comparison, the people at the bottom of Linyi are no different from slaves. They have no clothes and do not even have personal freedom. They can only exchange blood and sweat for a little food and clothing.
It is precisely because of this inequality that there is no top-down cohesion within Linyi, but there is a lot of resistance from the bottom up. Otherwise, Baipao would not have been able to control the entire Xianglin Pier so easily.
The poor people are mobilized.
The enemies that the Han army faces now are in ragged clothes, and the weapons in their hands are the simplest sickles and hoes. Some even just hold a wooden stick and put it in the Central Plains. They are not even refugees, let alone
Let alone call it an army.
You don't need to think about it to know that these are just cannon fodder launched by Fan Fanzhi.
The function of cannon fodder is to consume the enemy's crossbow arrows.
"We can't go on like this." Holding a horizontal sword and pointing forward, the Han army general who had just commanded a round of volleys was already sweating on his forehead.
He led the musketeers to the front, and a mere two to three hundred musketeers completed the occupation of the dock. But then they encountered the biggest problem since the formation of the team. The dark Linyi people rushed over desperately, and the musketeers rushed over.
The ammunition carried by the gunmen is limited after all. What should they do after they finish shooting?
More and more Linyi people fell under the gunfire, but more people were still charging forward.
They planned to use this pile of flesh and blood to overwhelm the enemy.
The sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded again, and the navy provided timely support. Countless arrows swept through the crowd, and the people of Linyi fell like waves of wheat blown by the wind.
The guys in the Navy finally haven't let their hair down yet.
"Get ashore, get ashore!" Another group of ships came to the shore, and the swordsmen and spearmen strode onto the dock.
The musketeers, who already had bayonets in hand and were ready to fight hand-to-hand, breathed a sigh of relief.
