292 The princes are not allowed to go down the river
"Is this a warship artillery tactic?"
"Why didn't Xiao Hunhou write such powerful and terrifying tactics into the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" which crystallized his lifelong military strategy, and it is famous for all eternity?"
Don’t say that King Xiang Wu of Chu couldn’t understand Xiaohunhou.
The other princes and kings were confused and did not understand why the military tactics written by Xiaohunhou and the actual combat of him were so big.
How wonderfully written in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!
Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, the three heroes of Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, were a large group of famous generals under their command, assisted by military advisors, and were full of brilliant stars and had many strange plans.
Zhuge Liang used any strategy, which was amazing and admired. Zhou Yu and Guo Jia, who were not a talented person in charge of the world!
But Xiao Hunhou himself would use brute force when fighting. This gunboat tactic is too rude and savage.
Does Xiaohunhou have a famous general and military advisor under his command?
No!
He has no famous generals under his command.
There are only one group of Danyang soldiers ~ gunpowder spearmen and artillery soldiers!
They were like a group of butchers rushing around the battlefield. This did not reflect the superb level of the general and the military advisor's magical strategy.
Xiaohunhou relied on a group of soldiers to fight.
"Yes, this ship gun battle is full of brute force! This little Hunhou did not use any strategy at all, he was using brute force.
I wasted the brilliance of the extraordinary book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" he wrote. When the war broke out, the things inside were useless!"
King Xiang Wu of Chu took out the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and found that he had been fooled. He threw the book to the ground with hatred, and stomped it on a few feet, so angry that he just wanted to vomit blood.
This big river war.
Xiao Hunhou did not use any strategy or tactics, such as borrowing arrows from a straw boat, burning the army, Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai... No clever strategy could be seen.
I saw Xiaohunhou sending fifty gunboats on the river, bombarding all the way... and bombarding all the way to the water village, sinking all the ships in the water village.
Even a master like King Xiang Ci, who is proficient in water war, had not yet used the ability to fight in water war, but was defeated by Xiaohunhou's brute force and fainted in the Wujiang camp in anger. He was probably too ashamed and had no shame to see others and refused to wake up.
Military strategy?
Exquisite tactics to lure the enemy?
Bah ~!
There is nothing.
The King of Lujiang, Xiang Ci, was not good, let alone other princes. They must not defeat Xiao Hunhou's fleet on the water.
"Kings, our warships are almost gone, what should we do? Who can still fight?"
King Xiang Piguang of Jinan was a little anxious.
"Oh, it's hard! Five or six hundred cannons on these fifty large warships. One round of cannons was bombarded, and no one could get close to them like rain. How could he fight?"
King Xiang of Zhao shook his head.
"What should I do?"
"well!"
The princes discussed it and were helpless.
On the river, you will definitely not win.
Fortunately, the only thing that is to be thankful is that even though the hundreds of warships of these princes and kings were all defeated and tens of thousands of naval soldiers were lost, they were not at the third level.
At most, the coalition of princes could not reach the river.
The main force of the 500,000 coalition of the princes was still intact, and camped in Wujiang Daying, closely defending the long front of sixty or seventy miles.
Wujiang Camp is five miles away from the river, and the naval guns seem to be less than this distance.
The about 100,000 imperial army in Xiaohunhou's hand still did not dare to cross the river and head north.
Because once the imperial army crosses the river and the imperial army cannot quickly break through the camps of the Wujiang camp, they will be blocked on this narrow bank of the Wuli Kuan River and it will be difficult to establish a solid camp.
It is not only impossible to move forward, but it is also quite difficult to get back on board.
The consequences are likely to be driven into the river, resulting in a crushing defeat of the imperial army - Xiaohunhou's consequences are obviously unbearable.
Once the 100,000 elite main army was lost, the Chu court would definitely not be able to gather a new elite army within a year and a half.
After a year, half of the country in Jiangbei fell into the hands of the coalition forces of the ten vassals. The money, food, taxes, and soldiers were controlled by the princes, and it became increasingly difficult to recover.
The emperor and the ministers in the court may have to kill him to vent their anger.
"Our fleet is lost, and it seems that we can only defend Jiangbei to the death! A 500,000 army has set up a stubborn defensive offensive in Jiangbei, and it will definitely be difficult for Xiaohunhou to break through."
King Xiang Wu of Chu said in a deep voice.
"I have to do this now!"
"Give orders immediately, the coalition forces will do their best to strengthen their camps, dig ditches, and hurry up and stop horses and catapults!"
"I understand. Although Xiao Hunhou boasted in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that he knew all kinds of strange military strategies, he did not use strategies at all. He was best at using brute force... We can only use brute force to deal with him! Strategies, military tactics, etc. are not used at all. It is more practical to dig more pits and build more fortifications!"
The princes such as Zhao, Jinan and others agreed.
They no longer cared about the destroyed water camps, and immediately ordered the vassals on the shore to start working hard to build fortifications.
A large number of trees were cut down in Jiangbei, and crazy reinforcement of wooden walls, piles of horses, catapults, and arrow towers.
No matter what tricks Xiao Hunhou used, it would always be difficult for them to attack them if they created these defensive things.
...
Next, for several days.
After fighting this battle, Chu Tianxiu went back to Danyang City and continued to organize blacksmiths to build artillery and gunpowder guns.
Zhou Lu took his fifty gunboats and the navy soldiers on the river to show off their might, one or two hundred miles upstream and one or two hundred miles downstream. As long as he saw a ship on the north bank of the river, he would bombard him several times and sank him before he could talk about it.
Soon, no ships of all sizes appeared on the other side.
Even if the boat is dragged ashore and placed on the shore, it will still be bombarded.
Although the coalition of princes was 500,000, they were unable to reach the river. There was no way. The range of artillery was far and powerful, the range of bows and arrows was too close, and the range of the catapults on the shore were not enough, so they could not hit him at all.
This is an unprecedented record!
He has never lived this happy life, and has beaten the enemy to the point where he can't raise his head and has no chance to fight back.
After completely clearing out the ships in Jiangbei, the imperial navy had completely occupied control of the river's water surface.
Only the imperial fleet could go down the river, and the princes had no more available ships, so they could go down the river.
Five days later.
Zhou Lu went to Danyang City to report the results of the battle to Xiaohunhou.
"Sir, the last general has completed the task of clearing out the ships in Jiangbei. The princes of Jiangbei dare not go down the river in armor."
Zhou Lu said respectfully.
"Um!"
Chu Tianxiu nodded slightly, not caring too much.
Looking at the Wujiang Camp defense map on the table, the other side of the river. This map is marked very carefully, and the distance between the many camps is clear.
"Sir, how do we fight next?"
Chapter completed!
