What's more, forcing a Han army's artillery can completely cover the Yishui on the other side, and there is no need for a big ship. Of course, there is not so much time for Chen Zhishen to build a ship.
Therefore, except for one Meng Chong to suppress the formation, the rest are all small boats, which can be mass-produced. And they do not need to be built on the waterside. They can be built directly on land and then pushed by rolling logs or simply carried by people.
We can move forward, there are so many people in the Han army, and there is no pressure for a dozen people in a small boat. The boat they are in can be lifted by themselves, and the soldiers of the Han army are also working hard.
The ship was launched into the water, the soldiers boarded the ship, and they headed straight for the north bank, all in one go.
Wang Qian, who was on the north bank, had obviously been watching the movements of the Han army here.
When the Han army landed, Wang Qian decisively issued the order to attack.
"The survival of the Great Zhou Dynasty, our life and death, we are all fighting here!" Wang Qian, the great general of the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was shirtless, holding two drum hammers, and pounded the big cowhide drum in the army.
Before the battle, Wang Qian had already announced his battle plan to the entire army, which was to wait for the Han troops to land and quickly advance forward, entangle them while their footing was not stable, and force their artillery and trebuchets to be unable to attack them.
His own people started to attack, and after driving the Han army into the water, they quickly retreated to avoid the Han army's artillery strikes.
If it weren't for his insight into the general's plan, I'm afraid the Northern Zhou army would have been in disarray when they just retreated.
At this time, the Northern Zhou army, stimulated by the drumming, charged forward.
"Fight to the death!" the Northern Zhou soldiers roared.
This army was brought by Wang Qian from Hulao Pass and other areas. It had never had a head-on confrontation with the Han army. It was a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers. Moreover, Wang Qian had just withdrawn them to the rear in time, so the Han army's artillery and stone throwing
Machine baptism did not have much impact on them.
In the eyes of these soldiers, although those guys were impressive, they obviously didn't have much power.
The Han army had almost reached the north bank of the river, and the Han army's artillery and trebuchets fired as far away as possible to form a barrier to the enemy's charge.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The sound of exploding shells came one after another.
Because it was free fire, there was no need for corrections or volleys. It was just a competition among the Han gunners to see who could reload faster, as long as they could shoot out the shells.
Continuous artillery fire exploded on the north bank of the river, extending from the tidal flat to the middle and rear of the Northern Zhou army.
The blooming bullets and solid bullets each have their own effects, and the billowing smoke and dust shoot straight into the sky.
Flowers of death bloomed as the cannonballs hit the ground. The blooming petals were dyed red with blood, and they continued to bloom in all directions. Many soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who were running forward crazily only felt a powerful force suddenly grabbing them.
They, then they can only fall to the ground or fly backwards involuntarily.
Of course, there are also black spots visible to the naked eye, falling from the sky, or cannonballs or stone bullets, rushing through the crowd, making people fall on their backs wherever they go.
Artillery, this is the power of artillery!
Wang Qian, who was playing the drums, watched helplessly as his soldiers fell one by one, and watched the flowers of death bloom to their fullest, rendering the blue-black picture, and his heart was bleeding.
No wonder Yuchi Jiong, Wang Gui and many famous Northern Zhou generals were defeated so miserably.
Is this really not the wrath of God?
Li Xingchen, what kind of virtue and ability is Li Xingchen to be protected by the gods?
God, please open your eyes and look at us men who also want to protect Da Zhou.
Wang Qian was shouting silently in his heart, and his hands were moving faster and faster.
Although the Northern Zhou army was severely beaten by artillery and trebuchets, they still rushed directly to the beach due to their large numbers and the momentum of the team's own difficulty in stopping the charge. At this time, hundreds of Han soldiers had jumped to the beach.
Get off the boat and line up on the beach.
Arrows flew everywhere, and the Northern Zhou army seemed to be venting their anger and fear in this way.
The soldiers of the Han army raised their shields one after another. They were not yet stable, and they did not expect that the enemy's attack would come so quickly. However, the Han family would not retreat because of this difficulty, not to mention that behind them was Yishui, who was constantly coming.
Brother Paoze, who is heading this way, has no way out!
The enemy's arrows are no longer dense, indicating that the distance between the two sides has become very close. Even if the opponent's crossbowmen hold a grudge, they still have to consider whether they will hurt their own people.
"Kill!" The Han soldiers decisively launched a charge towards the enemy.
The road ahead may be difficult, but they have no way out.
If they retreat, the river beach will be handed over to others, and it may not be so easy for the brothers Paoze behind to get ashore again. In contrast, instead of dying in the water in a panic, the Han soldiers would rather
Fall down facing the enemy.
The armies of both sides collided head-on, without any bells and whistles, and it was a fight to the death!
The soldiers of the Han army didn't care where the enemy was, they just went straight to the depths to fight. Since it was a deadly battle, they were already destined to die in battle. Why not rush into the depths of the enemy in order to capture the thieves and capture the king first?
Try to kill a few enemy generals first.
The Han soldiers who arrived later also jumped off the boat, and some even started charging towards the shore without waiting for the boat to dock.
Time is life, and a little delay may cause the opportunity gained by the death of the first batch of Han soldiers to pass away.
"Do you think you are Li Qiwei, and you are still playing magnetic tactics with me?" Li Xingchen muttered and put down the battle report that had just been sent to him.
Fortunately, Yang Su, who was sitting under Li Xinchen, was taking Li Jing and Zhang Xutuo to discuss the current war. No one heard what Li Xinchen said, otherwise they would not be able to help but ask, is this Li Qiwei a relative of your Majesty's old Li family?
Why haven't you heard of it before?
Chen Zhishen led the army into Yishui, and Li Xingchen was certainly not idle. After Yang Su and Lu Zicai arrived, Li Xingchen almost non-stop led the imperial guards north to support the battle in Yishui. Chen Zhishen was not without his ability to cause trouble.
Li Xingchen had better be cautious.
Therefore, Li Xingchen was already at a place only twenty or thirty miles away from Yishui at this time. Sentries and cavalry were going back and forth, and he could quickly pass on battle reports from the front line.
In Li Xingchen's view, Wang Qian's tactics were no different from Li Qiwei's magnetic tactics during the historical period of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea. The total range of the Han army's artillery was that large, so the distance the Han army could advance forward under the cover of artillery was only that far.
As long as the Han army was out of the artillery range or forced to tangle with the Northern Zhou army, Wang Qian could completely render the Han army's artillery useless.
He is like a magnet, sticking closely to the Han army. No matter whether the Han army advances or retreats, there is nothing he can do.
