Chapter 346 Hengjiang War
Today is the sunny day, and the autumn wind is cool.
The river surface is calm, like a mirror. Wang Wei commanded the Guan family's naval army in the north, and Zhu Zhi commanded the Jiangdong naval army in the south.
Because there is no wind, the oar is powered by the oar.
By the same token, the small action of sprinkling quicklime is meaningless.
Huang Zhong, Liao Hua and Ding Feng each stood at the bow of the ship. Very few navy soldiers were wearing armor, but all three were covered in iron armor.
When the soldiers who were in charge of watching the banner saw Wang Wei lit the battle flag, Huang Zhong and the other two knew Wang Wei's intentions.
Nowadays, our side has many soldiers and warships, which is better than the Jiangdong people.
Although Jiangdong people are good at fighting water, and the elite are even more elite. But they are not afraid of fighting, and the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road.
Huang Zhongben stood at the bow of the boat, pressing the hilt of the sword, looking south, with a red cloak behind him. Huang Zhong untied the cloak on his body and handed it to his personal soldiers, and said, "Get my big knife."
"No." The personal soldiers responded to the promise and went to take Huang Zhong's big sword. It was not a long-handled big sword, but a short-handled knife, but it was very big and heavy.
Under the flag of "Ding", Ding Feng also obtained the banner. Ding Feng turned his head and said to his personal soldiers: "Get my big sword and shield."
"promise."
A personal soldier took a relatively normal short-handled knife and a small shield for Ding Feng.
Under the "Liao" symbol, Liao Hua rubbed his hands and felt a little trembling.
"This is a big scene, I have never encountered it in my life." Liao Hua muttered in his heart, but in the end he mustered up the courage in his heart and ordered his personal soldiers to take a short-handled knife with a horizontal knife in his chest.
Huang Zhong, Ding Feng, and Liao Hua are all very humans. When they meet on a narrow road, they will naturally have the courage to decide life and death.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!!!" The drum sound became more and more intense, and the warships on both sides quickly approached each other. Guan Jun's trident took the lead.
The warships of Huang Zhong, Ding Feng and Liao Hua are all in the second row.
There was no wind and waves on the river, and it was very calm. In the cabin, the boatman was shirtless, sweating profusely, and struggling his oars hard.
"Swoosh swosh swosh!!!" After reaching the range, the archers on both sides stood in the cabin with holes and shot arrows at the other side.
The warship was very fast, and the arrow shot only two rounds, and the warships on both sides collided.
"Boom!!!" There were a series of collisions, and the warships on both sides with sharp spears stuck on the bow collided with each other, because the warships were all good warships, and none of the warships were broken due to the collision.
"kill!!!!"
Since the warships on both sides had already collided, the navy soldiers in the siege ship opened the cabin and rushed out, jumped forward, jumped onto the enemy ship, and started a massacre.
This is even more true for Huang Zhong, Ding Feng and Liao Hua. Although their warships were in the second row, after the impact, you would have me and I would have you.
Although Liao Hua's body was a little plump, he moved very quickly and had a steady foothold. He held the big knife in both hands and slashed one Jiangdong soldier after another.
Many personal soldiers followed Liao Hua closely, not because they were worried that Liao Hua would be shot to death. If he was shot to death by an archer, he would die and his personal soldiers would not be able to save him.
This is because Liao Hua is afraid that he will fall off the boat if he is unsteadily standing. He is wearing such heavy iron armor. No matter how good the water is, he will drown.
The role of personal soldiers is to save lives at that time.
Liao Hua was very fierce, but Huang Zhong's fierceness was far above him. The red-faced general held a scary battle knife in both hands, his hair and beard were wide open, as if a tiger was going down the mountain.
"Kill!!!" There were roars, as if they were emitted from the mouth of an unknown beast. It had a powerful deterrent force, and his eyes were like wild beasts, even shining.
When the opponent's soldiers saw it, their minds were taken away by it.
Huang Zhong slashed with a big knife, often cutting people in half, and blood and internal organs fell down.
Ding Feng said nothing, and under the care of his personal soldiers, he was constantly killing and killing Jiangdong people. In terms of horse war, he was stronger than Liao Hua.
But in terms of infantry warfare, he was not as good as Liao Hua.
Liao Hua is huge in shape, and his fat meat is full of tendons and flesh, and his strength is much greater than Ding Feng.
The Guan family's trident, Huang Zhong, Liao Hua, Ding Feng, and Wang Wei were behind. After the battle with the Jiangdong army, they did not gain the upper hand for a while.
Although Huang Zhong, Liao Hua and Ding Feng were brave and good at fighting, and although Zhu Zhi had few generals on the side, only Zhu Zhi was the only one. However, the Jiangdong Navy was really powerful.
They were on the boat as if they were walking on the ground, working together to kill and injure the enemy, archers, crossbow archers, spearmen, knife and axemen, and cooperated with each other.
It's like one, it's really skillful and irritating. The Jiangdong naval army is really professional.
On this chaotic river surface, soldiers were constantly killed, and blood dyed the river surface red, and internal organs and corpses attracted a large number of fish and shrimps in the Yangtze River.
For those carnivorous fish and shrimp, this is a good opportunity to have a full meal.
Among the Guan army, Wang Wei's troops also joined the melee, but Wang Wei's marching station and several small boats did not join the battle.
As the head coach, Wang Wei supervised the formation behind him.
Wang Weili looked forward at the bow of the boat, his face extremely cold, as if it was a stone that had fallen on the top of a mountain and had been invaded by the wind and snow for thousands of years.
Not long after, Wang Wei's expression changed a little, and he sighed: "The Jiangdong Navy is indeed well-known. The last time they escorted food, we took a little advantage. This time, it was extremely difficult to defeat it in front of the fight."
Wang Wei, Huang Zhong, Ding Feng and Liao Hua have been acting together for a long time. I know that these three are brave generals, especially Huang Zhong, who is definitely brave enough to be inappropriate.
However, the bravery of the three generals has limited effect on such a battle, at most it can kill dozens of people.
The Jiangdong soldiers are really elite.
but.
The brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road.
We have many people.
Wang Wei looked at the overall situation and saw that the situation was not unchanging. After the expansion of their naval forces several months ago, there were many new recruits.
On the battlefield, many new recruits lost their scope and were killed by Jiangdong people. However, when these new recruits gained a foothold, they also gained experience in water battles.
When the fight starts, the number of people will gradually gain the upper hand.
A large number of people is also an advantage.
"Wow!!" A strong wind suddenly rolled up on the calm river surface, and the whistle and the "Zhu" flags blew.
Like Wang Wei, Zhu Zhi also led several warships behind to watch the situation. Zhu Zhi pressed the hilt of the sword with his hands, raised his head and raised his chest.
"I didn't break it for a while!" Zhu Zhi frowned slightly and was disappointed. The Jiangdong naval army was the best in the world. Zhu Zhi dared to lead elite troops to swallow Wang Wei's naval army, which was the confidence.
He also heard that although the naval army of Huang Zhong, Wang Wei and others was huge in scale, many of them expanded several months ago. He thought that he could rely on the elite of the Jiangdong naval army to defeat Wang Wei in one fell swoop. Even if he could not defeat him, he could still gain the upper hand and then fight slowly.
Drive the boat, launch a group of wolves offensive, surround, chase and bite Wang Wei's naval army. In short, he has great confidence in the Jiangdong naval army.
But at this moment, the two sides were evenly matched, and the Jiangdong army only had a small advantage, which naturally disappointed Zhu Zhi.
In fact, Zhu Zhi had already done a good job. He resisted Huang Zhong, Ding Feng and Liao Hua alone, three fierce generals led their troops to attack.
And it has the upper hand.
Two words.
"capable."
"Where is the war drum!!!! Play the Wu Yue war song." Zhu Zhi frowned. Under such circumstances, there was no tactics at all. The brave ones who met on a narrow road would win.
Zhu Zhi turned his head and shouted at the soldiers who were playing drummers on his side.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!!!!" The drummers on Zhu Zhishi immediately blew the drumsticks like chicken blood, waving the drumsticks, and pounding violently on the drum skin, making a roar.
The so-called Wuyue war song is extremely ancient. It is a drum song circulating in the Wuyue area. When water fights on the river, people in Jiangdong usually use this kind of drum song.
The warships with drums on the other gantry were added when they heard the drum song. The soldiers of Jiangdong were immediately excited and became even more fierce.
"kill!!!"
In the blink of an eye, Liao Hua had already killed seven or eight people in the first place, almost suppressing one of the opponent's craftsmen. However, after hearing the drum sound, the soldiers of Jiangdong actually plucked up the courage. More than ten spearmen rushed forward together, and the spears stabbed Liao Hua directly. The archers not far away also aimed at Liao Hua, and a thud.
Several personal soldiers around Liao Hua were killed immediately, and Liao Hua was also hit by three arrows. If it weren't for being blocked by iron armor, I would have had my life instructed.
At this moment, the warship shook and the enemy ship broke away from our ship. In other words, Liao Hua and a group of personal soldiers landed alone on the other ship.
Liao Hua trembled, and he felt that the whole world had abandoned him. Fortunately, he was no longer abandoned him. Liao Hua also had small boats on the side, and several small boats hurriedly drove the small boats to welcome his general.
Liao Hua then fought hard with the opponent's soldiers for a while, took more than a dozen personal soldiers, jumped off the enemy ship, and landed on the small boat he was able to handle, avoiding the fate of being killed by random knives.
Cao's army was dominant and scattered around the world, but he did not dare to pass by the Yangtze River. This is not without reason. There is great uncertainty in water wars.
On land, Cao's army's formation was brave and good at fighting, and with the fierce generals, they naturally had invincible field battles. On the river surface, a big wave might transport the ship from Lujiang County to Wu County.
At this moment, the river surface was still calm, but Liao Hua also broke away from the ship because he boarded the enemy ship to fight. Fortunately, the boat was rescued and almost finished.
Too great uncertainty.
Liao Hua is just a small episode. The Jiangdong soldiers are really good at fighting. Although they do not have strong generals, the quality of the soldiers is much higher than that of the Guan army.
The fierce battle between the two sides, and the Jiangdong army still had the upper hand. It can be said that it was a temporary even force.
When fighting in the Han Dynasty, evenly matched was a fatal disaster.
In an encounter, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. In a short period of time, they will be stunned and collapsed, and then chased, killed the enemy, and surrendered. This is the joyful battle.
And evenly matched means you will only die.
The river surface was red, and thousands of dead were dead.
