Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 603 The Ferocity of the Jingzhou Navy

On the river, the war begins.

"Collide!"

Zhang Liao is indeed not familiar with water warfare, and he still needs to learn the tactics of waterway warfare, but wars are ever-changing. He knows his own shortcomings, and the best way is to avoid exposing them, so he used the most direct method. way.

With the river as the grassland and the warship as the horse, all tactics will be broken at this time. What is fighting is a courage, a fighting courage, and a fighting heart that is not afraid of death.

"Collide!"

"Collide!"

The battleships of the fifth battalion marched forward bravely, as if they were rushing in like a pack of wolves.

"You are...!"

Standing on the building boat, Deng Long stared at the battlefield in front of him with wide-eyed eyes. The battleship was thrown into the battlefield, and his building boat was the command battalion of the entire Jingzhou navy. Facing this situation, he was really confused.

Deng Long had fought numerous battles in Jingzhou, and he could be considered a veteran on the battlefield, but he was really not familiar with this kind of brutal cavalry warfare, warship confrontation, unless it was the last step, whoever would play would be a lose-lose confrontation .

After a while, Deng Long came back to his senses. At this time, his expression had turned into anger, and he suddenly ordered: "Pass my military order, all warships, dodge left and right, don't let them collide, surround them from the left and right wings, Two dragons come out of the water, go around, surround them, and strangle them!"

His warships are more flexible, and his soldiers are more proficient in water warfare. In his opinion, there is no need for him to fight such a lose-lose battle. At this time, retreat is tactics, not fear, and avoiding the edge temporarily.

But he forgot one thing.

On the battlefield, no matter what kind of battlefield it is, it is always about one effort.

When the warships of the Shepherd Army rushed in like wolves and tigers, their morale rose. If the Jingzhou Army went up to meet them, they really didn't know who would die, but the warships of the Jingzhou Army retreated. Shepherd morale.

In the view of General Jing Ping, since the Jingzhou navy retreated, they were afraid, and it was good to be afraid, and they could attack without reservation.

Therefore, the more ferocious impact of the Shepherd's warship showed no sign of stopping. No matter what angle, no matter how to avoid it, they just hit it directly and hit it without reservation.
Boom boom boom! ! ! ! !

As the saying goes, one wrong step, one wrong step, if there is a head-on collision, the Mujun warship may not be able to collide with the Jingzhou warship, and both losers are Mushan injured farming, but they avoided it, and instead were hit by the Mujun warship. , A sound of collision sounded.

In a face-to-face battle, in just a short moment, the direct warships of the Mu army had already damaged three warships and one battleship. The front cabins of these battleships were hollowed out, and they were sinking, but the warships turned over.

As for the Jingzhou navy, the casualties were even more severe. They were sunk at least three battleship-sized warships, and more than a dozen warships were overturned. Countless soldiers fell into the river, and many soldiers were struggling in the water.

In the first round, Mu Jun had the upper hand.

As for the Jingzhou army, all the generals were stunned, and they watched this scene in disbelief.

"Front, left, hit me!"

Zhang Liao is a general who is good at catching fighters. The temporary avoidance of the Jingzhou navy opened up the situation for him. The opponent's warship formation was torn apart, allowing him to see a slight gap. He wanted to seize this Chances are, a giant ship has appeared in front of his eyes. This ship must be the core of the Jingzhou army. He wanted to destroy this ship, so he personally drove six or seven ships. The ship charged forward.

"When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins?"

On the upstairs boat, Deng Long had an ugly face, and he was gloomyly reflecting on his mistakes. The more he thought about it, the more ashamed he became. A veteran in the battlefield actually made such a low-level mistake, and he felt an indescribable depression in his heart.

"I was wrong, I shouldn't avoid it!" Deng Long gritted his teeth and said word by word. At this moment, all his shame and anger turned into anger: "Since they want to fight, the sons of Jingzhou , then let them see how powerful the Jingzhou Navy is, kill it!"

A killing sound, earth-shattering.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The building boat is the first to move. This building boat is a mobile fortress on the river. The trebuchets on it start to rotate continuously. Although the stone bullets are not as good as those used for siege trebuchets The size of a stone bomb, but it is indeed a supreme weapon against warships.

Boom boom boom! ! ! !

This is the launch of the trebuchet, causing countless stone bullets to fall on the oncoming warship directly opposite.

Pfft!
A warship was sunk abruptly, countless soldiers on board fell into the water, some climbed ashore, and some of them were floating corpses, it was extremely tragic.

shake!
The main battleship where Zhang Liao was on was also smashed through the deck by a stone bullet. The entire battleship shook, and the soldiers on the battleship could not stand still. His face was ugly. He thought he had the upper hand, but only now did he know that Some gaps are irreparable.

"Is this a building boat?"

The combat power of this giant ship far exceeded his expectations. At this moment, he lost more casualties than the previous Jingzhou Army. The corpses of their own soldiers.

"retreat!"

Zhang Liao is a calm person, he knows that it is impossible to land on this building ship, even if he can defeat the surrounding warships, all his warships will be sunk by this building ship.

A large ship is enough to break up all the fighting power between them.

How ants shake elephants.

"retreat!"

The soldiers of the Fifth Battalion took the lead and quickly drove the warships back one by one.

Although the Mujun navy was defeated by the Louchuan

"Chase!"

Deng Long couldn't vent his anger now, so how could he allow the Mujun warship to leave the battlefield.

"Aim for the bed crossbow, sink them if you have the chance!"

"The trebuchets continue to attack!"

"Archer, shoot me!"

The Jingzhou navy who had already breathed a sigh of relief counterattacked fiercely like never before. Their warships were like the wind, chasing the warships in front of them to attack, and they were bound to destroy the entire army of the Mujun warships.

This kind of ferocious tactics suddenly ignited the blood of the Jingzhou navy.

The officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou navy screamed, and everyone looked at the warship fleeing from the battlefield in front of them as if they were watching prey, and they were chasing after them.

On the pier in the distance, on the viewing platform, Mu Jing clenched his fists slightly as he watched this scene.

"We are still inferior to them!"

Even though Mujing was already prepared in his heart, seeing this scene, he was still very upset, very upset. In front of the Jingzhou navy, his own warship and his own navy were like a fight between a child and an adult. In the meantime, they had the upper hand with tactics, and when they exerted their strength, they would directly turn the tide of the battle.

Strategic calculations are very important.

But on the battlefield, strength is the most important thing.

There is a saying that a clever woman can't cook without rice. To put it bluntly, the fight between life and death on the battlefield is based on strength. Even if you have thousands of tricks, if you don't have the strength to support it, it is still useless.

Even if Zhang Liao had opened up the situation, a single building boat could wipe them all out on the river.

"Come on, order!"

Of course, since Mu Jing is prepared, he will not simply let the navy and the Jingzhou navy fight against each other. Even if he loses this battle, he will still be the second player. At least he can guarantee that his navy will not be completely wiped out. .

Although the battlefield here is the Han River.

But in the inner city.

This is the advantage of the Mujun.

"Order Niu Gai, immediately send troops to both sides of the strait!" Mu Jing said: "Put out all the large weapons in the arsenal, and cover the navy's withdrawal from the battlefield!"

"promise!"

An orderly immediately went to deliver the order.

The Shuofang Battalion led by Niu Gai soon entered the battlefield. On both sides of the Chen Bing River, the Han River is very wide, but the left and right banks are condescending.

"Bow bed!"

On the east bank where Niu Gai stood, more than a dozen large crossbow beds were placed on the east bank. The crossbow bolts of these crossbow beds were three feet long and could penetrate more than 300 meters, even traversing the entire river.

"shoot!"

Niu Gai gave the order expressionlessly.

"shoot!"

"shoot!"

One by one, the ballistas moved, wound up, drew arrows, and fired.

The crossbow arrows fell like rain on the warships one by one.

"General, there are ambushes on both sides of the strait, it is not appropriate to fight any more!"

Deng Hu looked around at the figures on both sides of the strait, and quickly advised Deng Long.

They dominate the river, but here is always the inner city, not the outside, the river outside is wider, and there is no place to stand on both sides, so they are invincible in water and boats, but inside, they fight like trapped animals.

"withdraw!"

Although Deng Long is full of anger now, seeing the formations on the left and right banks, he also knows that he is no longer able to please. First, he has no chance to land in the inner city. Certainly not as good as on land.

At this time, fighting to the death is not a wise choice.

The Jingzhou navy stopped their pursuit.

Then turned the bow of the ship, cleaned up the battlefield, and dragged the crippled warship along the Han River downstream, withdrawing from Shandu County.

After the Jingzhou water army withdrew, Zhang Liao led his army back to clean up the battlefield.

On the battlefield at this moment, the Hanshui River was dyed bright blood red, the blood was surging, corpses were floating, and countless wrecks of warships floated on the water.

……

evening.

The Mu army had already cleaned up the battlefield, the wounded soldiers were recuperating in the wounded barracks, and the uninjured soldiers also began to bury their food.

On the county government lobby, Mu Jing sat cross-legged.

Zhang Liao knelt in front, cupped his hands and reported: "We lost 570 soldiers in this battle, six battleships were sunk, and twelve warships were destroyed and unusable!"

"How do you feel?"

Mu Jing asked.

"Shipbuilding!" Zhang Liao answered with only two words.

"shipbuilding?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

"My lord, we will be rude in this battle. It's not a matter of tactics, the coordination between the generals, or our unfamiliarity with water warfare. The biggest problem is that we don't have a large ship that can compete with us!"

Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "If we also have a building ship, I may not lose this battle. Therefore, I think that our navy must have a building ship, no matter how much it costs, we must have it. Otherwise, we will still be defeated in one battle against the Jingzhou navy in the future!"

"Large boat?"

A bitter smile appeared on Mujing's face: "I think so too, but even if I'm willing to pay the price and invest money, I may not be able to find craftsmen who build buildings!"

When craftsmen were in their prime, their status was humble.

But in troubled times, it is quite popular.

It seems that the well-known craftsmen and blacksmiths in Hanzhong were immediately recruited by Mujing, but there are no craftsmen who can build buildings and boats in Hanzhong, nor in Nanyang. Most of them are in Jingzhou and Jiangdong. I am afraid they have already been taken down. Let him find it there.

"My lord, you also saw it on the battlefield today. The fighting power of the building ships is unparalleled. No matter how many battle ships we have, if we can't even get close to them, how can we fight? It's hard for us to use our lives to heap them to death." Are they?"

Zhang Liao said: "If the navy wants to develop, it can't do without buildings!"

"you're right!"

Mu Jing agrees with this sentence, this battle, he saw from the beginning to the end, Zhang Liao's courage gave him the upper hand, but when the Jingzhou military building and ships came out, they were fierce and messy, and the Mu army and water army were directly defeated.

The fighting power of this building ship is indeed not comparable to that of a fighting ship.

"I'll figure out a solution for the building boat!"

Mu Jing still took over the task, looked at Zhang Liao, and said, "But I'm still not satisfied with today's battle, there is no water battle tactic, I feel that this is a cavalry battle, not a water army battle, and Our soldiers, after falling into the water, showed greater panic than the Jingzhou Navy, this must be overcome!"

"My lord, don't worry, after this battle, the general will train them hard!"

There was a stern look on Zhang Liao's face: "My Jingping Second Army is no worse than any navy army on the river!"

"Ok!"

Mu Jingting nodded. He still trusted Zhang Liao. He was a man who refused to admit defeat. He would never admit defeat on the battlefield. No matter how many shortcomings were exposed in today's battle, he would try his best to correct them.

"My lord, next..."

"Next, you should rest first. The Shuofang Battalion is guarding the city. They can't get in. Now that the flag has been raised, it depends on Jingzhou's attitude!"

The corners of Mujing's mouth slightly raised: "Jingzhou dares to attack desperately, and I dare to fight them hard!"

It's autumn now, and the autumn air is crisp, but as the days get colder and colder, it's almost winter.

Once winter came, he didn't believe that the Jingzhou army would dare to stay around here.

Even if Jingzhou is determined to win Shandu Zhuyang, he is not afraid. At worst, he dispatches the main force of the Violent Bear to go south to fight the Jingzhou Army. The Violent Bear Army is still reorganizing, but it has combat effectiveness.

He can't fight water battles, he admits this.

But he can send troops to attack the city from the land. Deng County in Jingzhou is not far from the mountains. Once he breaks through Deng County, he can directly attack Fancheng.

He didn't believe that Liu Biao dared to fight him at any cost at this time.

Jingzhou seems to be peaceful, with strong soldiers and horses, but it does not mean that there are no enemies and no internal worries. Liu Biao was famous in history as a guard dog, good at guarding the house, but lacking in enterprising spirit.

If Shandu County hadn't stopped him, he would have sent troops to take it, and even took Nanyang in one fell swoop.

But once the main force of the herding army is stationed in Shandu, he will definitely consider it.

Therefore, Mu Jing reckoned that next, it was time for the two sides to argue, Minghou Mansion and Jingzhou would eventually have a communication.
