If the opponent did it deliberately, then its purpose is naturally to lure the Han army's small boats to the shore, and then use superior forces to quickly destroy them. After all, if the men can't rush through, they will not be able to provide accurate fire cover for the soldiers who come ashore, or even to prevent injury.
When it comes to one's own family, even shelling must be done carefully, which will greatly limit the performance of Han military firearms.
But if the opponent just has no experience - it is well known that northerners don't have much experience on the water, it means that Li Shurang can only shoot with Zhou people here and look for possibilities to break or bypass, which will undoubtedly be a waste
plenty of time.
Li Shurang doesn't have that much time now.
The Navy was already late, and the Land Division had already launched an attack. If the Navy was still slow to get ashore, it might be picked up by its own people later.
That would be too embarrassing, and it also means that Uncle Li's qualifications as captain of the building ship will be questioned by more people.
"Let the boat go!" Li Shurang waved his hand.
Since you are not sure whether the enemy is intentional or unintentional, then you should test it yourself. In other words, no matter what the enemy thinks, Li Shurang has no choice now. That is to try his best to kill him and defeat hundreds of tricks with one force. Sometimes
On the contrary, it is the best choice.
Several personal guards nearby wanted to stop him, and the commanders and generals who were also on Mengchong also stood over indifferently. If Li Shurang really wanted to step forward, they had to stop him immediately.
Li Shurang looked at them: "As the captain of the Dahan Tower Ship School, I am responsible for the future of thousands of brothers in our Fenshui Navy. The war is chaotic now, but the mission of the Navy is very clear, which is to promptly support the battle of our brothers in the Lu Division.
, capture the water fort here. If we can't move forward just by an iron rope, the Fenshui Navy will forever become the laughing stock of the rest of the army!"
After a pause, Li Shurang turned and looked at the shore where the flames were blazing: "A short distance of forty or fifty feet cannot stop us from fighting hard to break through the ice and make achievements today!"
“To make great achievements, it’s now!”
The soldiers were all excited. They were all young people. Faced with the situation in front of them, everyone wanted to pick up their swords and throw themselves into it. The howling wind, the cold water, and the crisscrossing iron ropes could only make their hearts become more excited.
fiery.
Small boats were lowered from Mengchong one after another, flying back and forth like arrows.
There is no need for these Chima boats to dock on the pier, they can just go directly to the beach.
There are rugged rocks on the river beach, and the crossbowmen of the Northern Zhou army hid among the rocks and kept shooting arrows. The arrows broke through the wind, and from time to time, some Han soldiers were hit by arrows, but this still did not stop the Han army's ships from quickly approaching the shore.
.
Originally, the fire was only in the camp, but now there was fire on the river bank. This was not the flickering light of artillery fire, but the light of torches.
The current outside the river beach is very fast, and there are only a few openings on the river beach that can allow ships to wash ashore. Otherwise, the ship is likely to directly hit the rocks driven by the strong current, and eventually the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed.
In the firelight, one could clearly see that the gate-blocking carts and shield carts that were supposed to be used to defend the city were pushed over, just in time to block the few gaps.
Trap, this is a real trap.
If Meng rushed over, they would be able to directly land on the trestle. But now it is difficult for these small boats to reach the trestle, so they can only wash the beach, and then use a gate jammer to block the place where they can land, and naturally the water will be released.
The division was stuck in the water.
The navy that cannot go ashore for support can no longer contribute to the entire battle except using artillery to vent.
Da Xi Cong really considered everything.
Li Shurang didn't know this person well, but he was able to respond to the Navy's possible attack even when the Navy hadn't shown up yet, and even his own family wasn't sure whether the Navy could arrive on the battlefield in time.
It is indeed a difficult opponent to deal with.
The iron rope and the gate-blocking knife cart effectively blocked the way for the navy to directly enter the camp from behind.
But Li Shurang is also very excited. The more difficult the opponent is, the more he can hone his soldiers, the more it can prove that the Fenshui Navy is a heroic force capable of overcoming difficulties!
With eyes looking at Li Shurang, the soldiers waited for orders.
"Get into the water!" Li Shurang gritted his teeth and turned over first and jumped into the water.
The cold and biting water suddenly reached his knees, and even the thin ice was still surrounding him. Uncle Li felt a sharp pain in his calf for an instant, and then lost consciousness. However, he was still able to use his consciousness to drive his calf to continue moving forward.
Move forward.
Since the ship cannot dock, we must wade ashore.
Simple and crude.
Breaking the ice and fighting hard, I really got myself right.
But let alone ice, even if there were mountains or cliffs ahead, Li Shurang would still break them with the knife in his hand!
General Li Shurang had already set an example, and the rest of the soldiers followed him into the water without any hesitation.
Fenshui navymen are mostly men from the north. They are really not very good at water warfare, but their ability to withstand the cold is still better than that of southerners. Now, trudging forward in this cold and biting river is simply for the sake of it.
They are tailor-made.
I don't know whether it was because they were afraid of being laughed at by their companions, or because they were really able to resist the cold enough to freeze water, but no one lamented or even made a sound.
In the darkness, the Han soldiers gritted their teeth as arrows kept flying past them, but this was not bad. Almost every arrow shot by the Zhou people would be hit twice as hard by the Han musketeers.
In return, the bullet hit the stone and splashed out sparks, which also prevented the Northern Zhou crossbowmen from being too arrogant.
The real challenge is actually the feet. It is difficult to move forward in the shallow water with turbulent undercurrents and rocks, which means that you may slip at any time, which means that if you lose your footing, you may be completely swept away by the current.
The whole team.
The soldiers of the Han army did not disperse to the surroundings, but gradually gathered inward.
One arm linked up with the other, and all the Han soldiers, including Li Shurang, spontaneously formed a human chain, linking arms and arms, supporting each other step by step forward.
People kept falling down, but the companions next to them would pull them up as quickly as possible.
The human wall just moved forward little by little.
Whenever someone fell down after being shot by an arrow, a companion next to him would hold him to a stop and help the wounded man back little by little. The gap between the two of them would soon be occupied by the Han army moving closer to the center.
Fill it in, officers and men.
The sky is getting brighter and brighter.
The sun rose very late in winter, and the sky was cloudy, so it was always dark. Even for lighting, the Northern Zhou army had to raise torches, but on this day, it was finally fully lit.
