Chen Xuanhua could only say that fortunately what he was doing now was worthy of these soldiers who fought in blood.
It's always good to save one more person.
Ahead, footsteps were clanging, the phalanx moved forward, and the soldiers boarded the ship in an orderly manner.
Chen Xuanhua, Li Lian'er next to him, and more nurses, and the wounded soldiers all clenched their fists subconsciously.
The war begins again.
The sound of artillery suddenly exploded.
This time, I saw that the nurses did not cover their ears in panic like when they first arrived. On the contrary, everyone stood on their feet and looked north with their eyes wide open. Seeing that the northern sky was lit up by flames, they suddenly burst into cheers.
"Go back, go back, do whatever you have to do!" Li Lian'er turned around.
The nurses didn't hesitate.
The sound of cannons rumbled in the distance, it was the battlefield of men.
And their battlefield is right in front of them.
"Boom!" A solid artillery shell hit hard in the middle of the wall of the water village on the west side of the Qingjiang estuary. The water village on the west side has always been the focus of the Han army's attacks.
Behind the water stronghold on the west side, the Northern Zhou army's camp extends into the depression, while behind the water stronghold on the east side, the Northern Zhou army's camp is built on the mountain, so it doesn't take a second thought to know which one is easier to defeat, even if the Northern Zhou army is in
More soldiers and horses gathered in the water village on the west side, so Zhou and Jiang Xian decided to use it as a breakthrough point.
Another cannonball hit, and a big hole soon appeared in the wall.
The arrow shot out of the hole with a "whoosh" sound, and stuck straight into the mast of the leading warship of the Han army.
Provocation, this is Chi Guoguo's provocation!
The soldiers of the Han army were immediately furious, and they bombarded the entire village wall with artillery fire one after another. The entire village wall was soon riddled with holes. During the daytime attack, the village wall would have been completely demolished. Otherwise, the entire wall would have been completely demolished.
It was impossible for the Han army's infantry to go ashore. However, while the Han army retreated for an hour or two, the Northern Zhou army made simple repairs. However, it was obvious that such hasty repairs did not have much effect.
During the day, it would take an hour of shelling to completely dismantle the wall, but now it had collapsed after just one round of shelling.
The enemy's defense was already weak and thin, but it was obvious that the Zhou people did not want to admit defeat. Arrows still continued to shoot out from the darkness, like the seductive Yaksha, who would take away the Han army from time to time.
lives of soldiers.
"Go forward!" Jiang Xian refused the guards' request to go down to the cabin first, reached out and patted the railing, giving a decisive order.
As the main force of the Han Navy, there are three large five-toothed ships, and they have all been improved based on the results of long-term exercises. They are completely different from the five-toothed ships that Jiang Xian commanded to break through the Nanchen Three Gorges defense line. It is even said that they have been replaced.
It doesn't matter if you look the same.
In addition, there are several Huanglong ships and more Mengchong, Zongge and large numbers of Chima Clippers as cover and ready to transport soldiers and horses ashore at any time. Following Jiang Xian's order, the Huanglong ships separated to both sides.
, Across the hull, these Huanglong ships are the "legacy" of the original Nanchen Navy. Limited by the performance of the hull itself, a ship can only install one or two artillery pieces at most, so it is more likely to be a 500-step crossbow.
The crossbows and trebuchets were now crossing the ship, getting as close as possible to the enemy's camp, and arrows were raining down.
The five-toothed warship with a wider hull jumped out from between the two Huanglong warships, its thick bow pushed through the turbulent water waves, and rushed straight towards the enemy's water stronghold.
At this time, the artillery had stopped bombarding, and the ship's racket was raised high.
In the interplay of light and shadow, you can see the enemy soldiers fleeing hastily.
In front of this behemoth like a mountain, no one has the courage to persist, especially in the daytime battle, the five-toothed ship has proven how much attack power it can unleash in close combat.
The arrows that were as dense as locusts and the crackling stones were like hailstones were the nightmare of all the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who participated in the battle for the camp during the day.
Although among the navy and water divisions of the Han Dynasty, thanks to the rapid replacement of Han army ships, the Wuya battleship, the meritorious warship when Li Xingchen went to Jiangnan, can already be regarded as an "old-fashioned" thing. After all, in
Above the Five Tooth Ships, there are also the Qinglong Ship and the more powerful Kunpeng Ship, which was specially designed for naval battles. However, one of the latter two is the exploratory transition of the Han Dynasty's shipbuilding technology from inland ships to ocean ships, and the other is simply uncompromising.
It is an unstoppable sailing ship, so on this inland river, the world is still dominated by five-toothed ships.
After all, the Five-Toothed Ship was a very powerful existence in history. With the help of the Five-Toothed Ship, the Sui Dynasty in the north finally crushed the Southern Dynasty, which was good at navy. This is a relatively rare situation in Chinese history, especially
Is it the generals who commanded the army or the northern generals? This kind of battle can be traced back to the battle of Qin's attack on Chu. At that time, Bai Qi was the commander of the army. Later generations have different opinions, but everyone has to admit it.
A powerful war god.
Of course, Kublai Khan of the later Yuan Dynasty also defeated the Southern Song Dynasty through the navy, but the naval forces of the Yuan Dynasty were almost exclusively Han generals, and among them were Liu Zheng, a famous general who was absolutely top-notch in terms of pure ability during the Song and Yuan Dynasties.
Therefore, on this inland river, no one should underestimate the capital of the Five-Tooth Ship. This kind of thing can still be regarded as a strategic weapon that can determine the direction of the war.
This time the Wuya Big Ship appeared in such a forward position, not to use artillery fire to block it after approaching. With the range of the artillery, there is no need to put the Wuya Big Ship in such a dangerous position. After all, the Wuya Big Ship
Although it is powerful, it is not impossible for anything to destroy it. When the enemy's arrows and stone bullets are concentrated to a certain extent, even the five-toothed ship cannot bear it. As a naval general, Jiang Xian is of course very
clear.
But he took the risk of sending the Five-Toothed Ship forward just to bring out another function of the Five-Toothed Ship.
Racket stick!
In fact, this thing is about to withdraw from the order of naval equipment. Because the issue of artillery on the ship was not considered when the Wuya big ship was originally designed, so after the artillery was developed, there was almost no room for the artillery on the Wuya big ship.
In fact, compared to a smaller ship like the Huanglong Ship, the Wuya Ship is also satisfied.
In order to be able to pack more artillery, it is natural to dismantle outdated things. Racket sticks and some small trebuchets are the first choices.
Therefore, the five-toothed ship originally had five rackets, three large, two small, and two on each side. Now only two rackets with two large rackets on each side are reserved for emergencies. After all, no one can guarantee the accuracy of the artillery.
It can prevent any enemy from getting close to the warship, but with the artillery, all the small trebuchets can be cleared out by then. They can't hit as far as the artillery, and their shots are not as accurate as the artillery. Moreover, they take up more space. What's the use of you?
