The Jin army had to fight this water battle on the Yellow River, and there were reasons why it had to fight!
After Huo Qubing's army penetrated into the Central Plains, although they still rely on their strong maneuverability to this day, their retreat has always been a problem.
The three states of the Central Plains are all flat land. With the help of strong mobility and the full intelligence support of the floating house, Huo Qubing will always have room for change as long as he is not surrounded by the main force of the enemy.
However, it is impossible for Huo Qubing to continue fighting in the Central Plains for a long time. Zhao She and others are not vegetarians. Every time they pursue, every time Huo Qubing breaks through the opponent's pursuit and interception, there will inevitably be a certain number of combatants.
To this day, although Huo Qubing has caused huge losses to the enemy, less than half of the original 40,000-strong army is now left. Of the remaining half, some have been annihilated and some have been captured alive.
Every battle Huo Qubing fights in the Central Plains, whether he wins or loses, is bound to be accompanied by attrition. Without reinforcements from outside, the number of people fighting becomes smaller and smaller. This is the biggest problem Huo Qubing faces now.
In the future, if Huo Qubing chooses to return, going overland will definitely not work. Whether Huo Qubing wants to return to Sizhou or Jingzhou, he will inevitably encounter a coalition of princes.
Therefore, in addition to land routes, Li Xiang could only focus on water routes.
Han Shizhong's battle was to help Huo Qubing find a safe escape route.
When the two sides just fought, although Han Shizhong had more troops than Liu Rengui, to be precise, they were not much more powerful. The advantage in this aspect was not obvious, and the war between the two sides fell into a stalemate for a time.
Liu Rengui is not afraid of a fierce general coming. After all, Jiao Mo is only as powerful as one person. It does not mean that every soldier is so strong. Jiao Mo used his brute force to break into Liu Rengui's flagship, but it does not mean that those soldiers are powerful.
It can be done. The only ones who rushed up after Jiao Mo were the 20 soldiers closest to Jiao Mo.
There may be people in this world who can compete with Jiao Mo in the water, but these people are not among Liu Bei's army.
However, because Liu Rengui was distracted and spent all his energy on encircling and killing Jiao Mo, Han Shizhong decisively mobilized his troops at this time and opened a gap. The originally stalemate water battle began to take a turn for the better, and he penetrated in one breath.
He captured several warships of Liu Rengui.
Although the current Liu Bei army can be said to be full of fierce generals, those fierce generals are all in the infantry. The water warfare generals are basically the old batch from the past. That is to say, after the Conquest of Japan, from then on
Several Japanese soldiers were absorbed.
Seeing this, Jiao Mo simply stopped doing nothing, and the original sneak attack directly turned into a strong attack. As one of the top naval warriors in the world today, Jiao Mo can definitely be said to be like a fish in water when he is in the water, almost a
Man dominates the underwater battlefield.
It was on this basis that Jiao Mo, the most powerful general of the Yellow River Navy, took the initiative to volunteer and personally led the water ghost team to sneak attack the enemy.
By the time Liu Rengui turned his attention from Jiao Mo to the battle situation, Han Shizhong had already established enough advantages at that time.
Jiao Mo single-handedly killed Takeyoshi Murakami, and Tongyasu came to the island. Murakami Yoshi served as the general of the three Japanese armies, and then Jiao Mo, who went crazy with the killing, seemed to be a little over the top. He held his breath and led his brothers directly.
Head straight towards Liu Rengui's flagship!
Between two commanders of similar levels, when one has established a sufficient advantage, it is not an easy task for the other to reverse this disadvantage!
Although Jiao Mo did not kill Liu Rengui as he wished, he had become the biggest contributor to this battle because he attracted all Liu Rengui's energy to him.
What's more, after Han Shizhong established his advantage, he still did not relax at all. Relying on the advantage he had established, he worked step by step and continued to intensify his attack on Liu Rengui.
Jiao Mo followed the warship and jumped directly into the water. As soon as he entered the water, Jiao Mo was sure that even if there were thousands of people on the other side, he would still be able to escape.
Liu Rengui sent several groups of troops one after another to stop Jiao Mo, but Jiao Mo under the water could be said to be unbeatable at the time, and he was forced to rush to Liu Rengui's flagship with his brute force.
When the two sides are fighting in the water, they will basically prevent the other side's water ghost team from coming to cause damage to their side. Therefore, Jiao Mo was discovered by Liu Rengui not long after he entered the water.
The three generals Murakami Takeyoshi, Kurushima Totsuyasu, and Murakami Yoshimitsu were all generals of the Japanese navy. During the original war against Japan, they were captured alive by Liu Bei's army. At that time, Liu Rengui thought that these people were pretty good at water, and at that time
Liu Bei was planning to expand the strength of the navy, and it happened to be the time to recruit people. Therefore, he spared the lives of these three people and recruited them to fill the navy.
However, in this first battle, he fell into Jiao Mo's hands.
The Japanese country has been destroyed. Although there are some hard-core people, there are also those who "accept their fate", and these three people happen to belong to that kind. Soon after, they even gave themselves a Han name, hoping to completely integrate into the Han people.
among.
As for Jiao Mo, it is naturally impossible for him to withstand the siege of thousands of people, but the place where they are fighting is not on land. Although Jiao Mo is a little reckless in fighting, he is not that clear-minded.
People who know they are going to die but still want to go to bed.
It is much more difficult to contain a person in the water than it is to contain a person on land.
Not only was Liu Rengui not afraid of him, but he also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of being alone to kill the opponent. Therefore, before Jiao Mo found himself and retreated into the crowd of soldiers, Liu Rengui also ordered several people around him at the same time.
Several warships surrounded him, and the soldiers from these warships surrounded and killed Jiao Mo.
Moreover, Han Shizhong did not focus solely on killing Liu Rengui's effective forces, but mainly focused on damaging the opponent's battlefield.
As a general, Han Shizhong never forgot their goal in this battle, which was to open up a retreat for Huo Qubing. If Liu Rengui's warships were dealt a sufficient blow, Liu Rengui would not be able to do anything even if he had no troops but no ships.
Qualified to compete with Han Shizhong for water control rights in the Yellow River.
This is why Han Shizhong only killed Liu Rengui's 5,000 troops at the expense of 3,000, but Li Xiang still considered it a great victory.
It was because Han Shizhong dealt a huge blow to Liu Rengui's warships that Liu Rengui lost the ability to fight them head-on again within a certain period of time.
