In the entire north and south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that the enemy's combined fleets may not be able to defeat one-fifth of the Han navy, which is two or three large five-tooth ships.
Therefore, the drills of the Han Navy Navy were mainly focused on attacking the enemy's water stronghold.
Of course, the Huaibei defense line is not simply composed of forts and camps. In order to protect the river banks and prevent the powerful navy from the south from directly seizing the beach, the Huaibei defense line is also lined with water forts. Even after learning the lesson from the last time Wu Mingche broke into Huaibei, even the Qing Dynasty
At the forks of major tributaries such as the Jiangkou and the main stream of the Huai River, river blocking iron cables were set up to prevent enemies from going directly into the hinterland along the tributaries of the Huai River.
Therefore, if we really want to fight, the inland water division will naturally play the role of eradicating the enemy's water strongholds and clearing the landing sites along the coast. It is even necessary to break through the enemy's blockade at the mouth of the tributary river and launch an attack directly into the hinterland of Huaibei along the inland river of the tributary.
Provide necessary material and fire support to the Han army divisions along the way.
In the water stronghold, Wang Gui is naturally well prepared. Common equipment such as trebuchets and bed crossbows are of course indispensable. According to the news from the scouts and white robes, all kinds of city defense equipment are also available.
Obviously Wang Gui directly regarded the high water wall as a city wall for defense. He did not dare to underestimate the power of the Southern Navy.
More importantly, since the Han Dynasty has completely dredged the Hangou, it is now mainly commercial ships that can allow large ships to travel. This means that the warships of the Han Navy can also enter the Huaihe River unimpeded, so Wang Gui must
It is impossible to be defenseless.
In the last battle of Huaibei, Wu Mingche was able to escape unscathed, wasn't it because of the proper rescue by naval warships?
The lake breeze blew the skirts of their clothes, and the surrounding guards were ready to throw Li Xingchen to the ground at any time. The Imperial Guards in the capital were all soldiers who had participated in the drill. Of course, they knew that the drill was nothing compared to actual combat.
The risk is high, but compared with usual times, the risk is much greater. No wonder Li Ping, Jiang Xian and others tried their best to dissuade it.
Liu Ya has no eyes, if he hurts His Majesty, then everyone will die forever.
The war drums had just sounded, arrows were raining down, and the soldiers on the warships raised their shields amidst the neat chants. These five-toothed ships and Huanglong ships of the Inland River Navy have been proven
The possibility of going to sea to fight has been lost, so before, I slightly considered the stability imbalance problem that might be caused by strong waves, but now there is no need to consider it at all.
Therefore, Jiang Xian and others have more or less modified these warships. The ships are all covered with thick wood, which is equivalent to adding another layer of protection to the ship. There are shields on both sides of the ship that can be controlled by pulling up.
There are also lifting shields on the bow and stern of the ship. These shields are not the kind of shields held or even pushed by soldiers, but giant shields used when attacking and defending cities.
This kind of large shield is usually inserted into a cart during city offensive and defensive battles, or is directly hoisted by a cart, and then pushed forward by soldiers, thus forming a huge shield to block arrows shot from the city.
.
Now used on warships, it has the same effect. Facing the enemy's dense arrows on the shore, it can play a comprehensive protective role.
Because there is no need to consider the seaworthiness of going to sea, these warships, which originally have a flat chassis, are not unusable with these heavy things inside and outside, especially the five-wheel propelled warships.
Ya Da Ship, even the speed of the ship on the water was not affected too much.
In the past, in order to maintain the same forward speed as the Huanglong ship, the Wuya ship often had to slow down. Now that it is a little heavier, the speed is just right.
Arrows crackled on the shield, and arrows continued to fly higher, still able to cross the shield and be thrown towards the deck. Naturally, the soldiers on the deck skillfully raised their small shields to the sky to protect them. Their shields were very
It quickly turned white, and I don't know how many arrows fell down just like that.
Li Ping and others wanted to escort Li Xingchen to retreat into the cabin quickly, but Li Xingchen waved his hand. The flagship was not at the front of the fleet, and the arrows fired were already sparse. If they retreated into the cabin, they would naturally watch the drill.
Not so direct anymore.
The ship continued to move forward, and the ship also began to fight back. The trebuchets and crossbows began to roar, and soon there was smoke and dust on the shore. As the flags on the shore were pulled up one by one, it was already known that the defenders around the flags were all gone.
ink.
As the ship got closer and closer to the shore, the first few ships also came across to disembark, and soon the familiar sound of cannons from Li Xingchen was heard.
No matter how capable the Ministry of Industry is, it cannot develop anything that can simulate artillery shells, so the artillery shells fired now are actually salute shells, which exploded before they reached the place. Fortunately, the shells fell
It can be roughly estimated that the officials responsible for patrols on the shore will delimit the area according to the impact point of the shells. The soldiers in the area will be judged as killed, and the city defense facilities in the area will also be damaged to a certain extent to simulate the damage of the shells. But since
It's a simulation, so naturally there's no way it's exactly the same as reality, but that's all it can do.
The two warships that fired first were also intensively taken care of by the defenders on the shore, and were quickly judged to be damaged. However, their sacrifice provided an opportunity for the teammates behind them. One warship after another passed over the "wreck" of their comrades, and quickly
close to the shore.
The soldiers on the ship have already changed into boats, and small ships such as Mengchong and Chima simply rush to the beach. The soldiers on the ship can jump directly from the sides of the ship and jump into the water. The water is no more than their knees.
Let them charge directly to the shore.
Although the arrows on the shore were sparser than before, they soon covered the lake shore. The inspectors who followed the soldiers kept raising small flags to determine which soldiers were out. The number of people on the lake shore suddenly decreased by less than half, and
The rest raised their shields and marched hard.
"Why didn't the artillery fire be extended to suppress it?" Li Xingchen stretched out his hand to hold the railing and asked directly.
The enemy's crossbowmen were obviously retreating, but they still maintained an effective firing range from the Han army on the lake shore. At this distance, the artillery was not ineffective.
As if to answer Li Xingchen's question, the artillery on the warship also opened fire, and the trebuchets and crossbows were also not idle, but after all they were half a beat too late. As a price, in less than a cup of tea, the navy was
Hundreds of "bodies" were left on the shore of the lake, but with strong firepower, the enemy retreated. The navy successfully broke into the camp and fought with the defenders.
Naturally, there is nothing to say about this. The navy's muskets are thrust forward row by row, and the enemies in front of them are constantly pronounced "dead in action." It is always easy to determine the outcome in front of the muskets.
