The naval warship moved forward with all its strength. Arrows and stone bullets rained down on the deck of the warship. The Han army officers and soldiers were also red-eyed. They couldn't care about so many, so they picked up a shield.
, even if there is no armor on the body, the artillery on the ship must be able to continue firing.
The cannonballs have torn large and small gaps in the Northern Zhou's barrier. These are the places where the Han soldiers will attack after landing. Take the gap and sweep the entire barrier. No one on the river bank will be able to stop the Han army!
The artillery fire on the Wuya ship began to extend backwards. This was a signal that the beach landing was about to begin!
Warships of all sizes rushed out from the gaps in the five-toothed ship and advanced towards the beach.
On the beach, behind the barrier, the crossbowmen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty did not know the line between life and death? Therefore, they also tried their best to shoot arrows.
The arrows were like rain. Even if the Han soldiers held shields, they could not stop the arrows from shooting out from the gaps in the shields. However, the musketeers immediately fought back, from the Five-Tooth Ship in the distance to the Huanglong Ship nearby.
On the ships and numerous large and small ships, the Han army's musketeers opened fire one after another, and the dense bullets were like a strong wind sweeping over the barrier. The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who were still shooting arrows wildly fell down almost in the blink of an eye.
Soon the shouts and screams of Zhou people were heard, and it was difficult to see Zhou soldiers on the rampart.
Small boats rushed onto the beach one after another, and the Han soldiers on board swarmed up.
The follow-up Huanglong warships were not slow at all. These warships that were about to be retired naturally had nothing to cherish for the Han army. They would do everything possible to move forward, even if they were stranded.
In order to send more soldiers to the shore as quickly as possible, the navy did not hesitate to do anything!
As the Huanglong ship shook violently, a "crunching" sound came from the bottom of the ship. This was because the pebbles on the river beach were violently rubbing against the bottom of the ship.
"Get off the boat!" The captain and captain of the Han army who led the team shouted loudly, and he took the lead in rappelling off the edge of the boat.
Of course, these old-fashioned Huanglong ships have not considered the situation of beach landing. Firstly, it is not Nanchen's army's turn to think about beach landing. Secondly, the river is naturally densely populated with docks and trestles, so it is not a good choice to land on the beach.
, do you have to risk running aground and rush to the shoal?
Therefore, if the soldiers wanted to get off the ship, they could only climb down from the sides of the ship.
The Han army musketeers on the bow continued to fire, suppressing the Zhou people on the wall.
The Han soldiers had no time to assemble on the river beach. Time was of the essence at this time, and what they had to do was to attack forward at all costs and break through as soon as possible!
Many gaps had been torn open by artillery on the fortress. The Northern Zhou crossbowmen leaned on the gaps and fired arrows outwards. After losing a large number of men, they also learned their lesson and began to look for blind spots for the Han army's musketeers.
The arrows were flying wildly, and as long as they could be shot, they could kill or injure the Han soldiers.
On the wide river beach, large swaths of corpses soon appeared. Blood flowed along the river beach, dyeing the river red. The following Han army soldiers continued to advance towards the shore through the water.
The sound of howling wind suddenly came, and Lu Qing, the vanguard general of the Imperial Guard and Polu general, subconsciously shouted: "Lie down!"
The surrounding Han soldiers were running forward, but few heard his cry.
The next moment, an iron arrow roared out, piercing three or four people one after another.
Just after landing, the array of Han soldiers was inevitably dense, and this was naturally the time when the Fangzi Crossbow showed its power.
The timing of the selection of the Northern Zhou army was very suitable.
Their bed crossbows were not set up on the ramparts, but had several holes dug in the ramparts like city walls. These holes did not need to be too big, as long as the iron arrows of the bed crossbows could fly out of the holes.
Previously, the Zhou people's trebuchets were very arrogant, but the bed crossbow hardly moved. It was obvious that they were waiting for such an opportunity.
Iron arrows raged on the river beach, and the Han soldiers fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment.
The artillery on the warship finally found its target again, and fired one after another. The shells almost hit the exposed position of the bed crossbow, and soon the walls around the bed crossbow were completely ripped apart, while the Han army musketeers
They fired desperately at the Northern Zhou soldiers who were running in panic. At the same time, the Han soldiers on the river beach got up and charged forward again.
Perhaps this kind of attack is not the fastest way to attack, but it should be the most efficient attack, which can minimize casualties through the cooperation between infantry and firearms.
The sword and shield bearers as the vanguard have already rushed to the bottom of the barrier, while the Zhou people have rushed out of the barrier, trying to block the Han army's attack with flesh and blood. Their last defense method has also been cracked, and now they only have flesh and blood as a defense.
Reliance.
Lu Qing also jumped up. He had already grasped the loaded short gun tightly in his hand. A Northern Zhou soldier jumped onto the barrier, trying to jump from the barrier into the melee.
"Bang!" Lu Qing decisively pulled the trigger.
The Northern Zhou soldier shook and fell.
Lu Qing casually inserted the short blunderbuss back into his waist, and drew out his horizontal knife: "Kill!"
Being born in Ba people, he never thought that one day he would be able to rush to the front of everyone as the vanguard of a hundred thousand Han army. You must know that this position is what many people want, and once he succeeds, it will be a huge success.
credit!
As for the Ba people, although they have now integrated into the Han Dynasty, their body shape is still smaller than that of the southern soldiers, let alone compared with the northerners. This means that it is often difficult for the Ba people to fight on the plains later.
In the battles, the advantage of climbing over mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground was demonstrated. Therefore, most of the Ba soldiers were gradually transferred to Lingnan and Nanzhong to replace the garrison in those places.
After all, the Ba people were the first ethnic group to submit to the Han people. Years of common farming and cultural exchanges have long made the Ba people no different from ordinary Han people from the inside out. Therefore, letting the Ba people guard the mountains in the south is a big deal for the Han people.
It is also a reassuring thing for the military.
But after all, the Palestinians still want to make a contribution in the Northern Expedition, otherwise they will always feel that the founding fathers like themselves cannot hold their heads high in front of others. The most important battle of the Northern Expedition, you Palestinians did not participate, and every day you treat those who once
What's the use of talking about your glorious deeds?
Therefore, Lu Qing, as a brave general among the Ba people, naturally shoulders such a mission.
His ability to become a forward general did not depend entirely on his strength. It was mainly because of the capable generals among this group of guards, namely Chun Yucen and Lu Shizhen. One was in Qiziling and now cooperated with the Yangwu Army along the route.
Qinshui went to Jinyang, and the other was in Qishui, leading the imperial guards to form the east wing to contain the Zhou army on the front battlefield. It was impossible for anyone to temporarily escape and run here to lead the imperial guards to charge.
