Chapter 5168: Back then, there were ten thousand enemies
Liu Yu laughed and waved his hand: "Covering the sky and covering the river? Is it bigger than during the Battle of Jiankang, when there were 200,000 monster thieves and more than 3,000 warships, stretching for thousands of miles?"
Liu Jingxuan smiled and waved his hand: "That's definitely not the case. The demon thief's momentum is not as good as it was then, and it is much weaker. The number of troops and ships is less than half of that time, but the six eight-odd giant ships are still there, and the Huanglong War
There are more than 600 ships. Just in terms of the strength of water warfare, it is still very strong. Our army is victorious because of its high momentum and elite infantry and cavalry. However, purely in terms of the strength of the water force, especially the number of large warships, we are at a disadvantage.
Downwind."
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "This is not the first time we have been at a disadvantage in a water battle. When we fought against Huanxuan before, we also had to use small boats and medium-sized warships to face Chu's large warships. Little Stone, in
During the Battle of Jiangling, although there was a reason why your enemy camp defected to help, our army was able to defeat the monster thieves and the main force of the navy including the giant ships. You witnessed it firsthand. Can you tell me how the fight was fought at that time?"
Zhu Chaoshi said calmly: "At that time, Brother Daogui was in the position of my opponent. I used my authority to divide my troops into several teams to chase the bait fleet deliberately set up by Brother Daogui, and then fell into
However, in these ambushes, the fleet of the Jingzhou navy did not have an obvious numerical advantage. They took advantage of the terrain and their brave and fearless attacking spirit to actively approach the demon thief fleet, and then joined forces to fight.
, although the warships of the demon thieves are larger, faster, and have more long-range weapons, in gang-hopping combat, all advantages are lost. Instead, the side that is better at close combat and has more courage wins."
"As long as the demon thief's fleet is divided, it will be divided and surrounded by the Jingzhou navy, eating them up bite by bite. The last giant ship, also the Jingzhou navy, took advantage of the hydrology and wind direction to use the river waves at night to counterattack and rush into the sea.
I also saw this when the Chinese fleet lost the monster thief. I originally wanted to perish together with the monster thief's giant ship. However, God probably didn't want me to meet Brother Wuji so quickly, or
Let me survive and give me a chance to take revenge with my brothers today."
Liu Yu nodded and said: "Yes, that's it. In water battles, it actually depends more on courage and determination. In water battles, demon thieves have the numerical advantage of ships and the advantage of long-range weapons. If we
If you come to confront them head-on and shoot from a distance, you have little chance of winning. Just like during the last western expedition against Huan Chu, the general of the Chu army, He Danzhi, also deployed several giant ships and more than 200 yellow dragons.
The warships were on the river, but our army did not confront them head-on. Instead, we used small boats to follow the wind and charged directly into the enemy's ship formation. Then we captured He Danzhi's ship, changed flags, and declared that He Danzhi had been killed in the battle.
, this news quickly spread throughout the battlefield, and the Chu army, which was already demoralized, fled in all directions. Our army easily destroyed the powerful enemy fleet."
Xiang Mi smiled and said: "Yes, brother Jinu, the battle of Nanling that I, Tieniu, Zhongde, and Azhong fought together the other day was the same. We discovered the ambush fleet of demon thieves. It was Azhong who went there personally.
As a scout, he was in danger for a while. An enemy warship hooked his reconnaissance ship. As a result, Ah Zhong immediately put all his troops in formation and prepared to attack. The enemy was so frightened that he broke the hook on his own initiative.
The rope allowed him to evacuate calmly and passed back the enemy's intelligence."
"The same was true later in the decisive battle. Our army sent small boats to attack and charged directly at the enemy's large ships. Huanxuan's warships were more numerous, bigger, and more powerful. However, he was greedy for life and feared death. He was at the stern of his own warship.
The escape boat was prepared early in the morning, and everyone in the army knew it, so the soldiers had no fighting spirit and the soldiers had no fighting spirit. As soon as they engaged in the battle, the whole line collapsed. Although Huan Xuan himself successfully escaped from the battlefield, he was still able to escape.
Where to go? A few days later, he was killed in Meihuizhou. This incident once again proved that no matter how big the warship is, no matter how well-trained the sailors are, if they lose the will to fight, they are just a bunch of lambs to be slaughtered.
.”
Having said this, Xiang Mi laughed, as if he had returned to the battlefield that year. He licked his lips, and his hands unconsciously grasped them in the air like holding an ax handle, and said: "Yes, back then I was
I didn't even wear armor, I just went bare-chested, bare-chested, and jumped onto the enemy ship with an axe. Unfortunately, I didn't kill three people in the end. Instead, it was the least kill I've done since Tieniu fought."
Liu Zhong smiled and said: "Brother Tieniu, what's going on? I only cut two of them. Could it be that you are not good at water and just fell into the river?"
Xiang Mi said angrily: "You fell into the river. As soon as I jumped on the Chu army's boat, the Chu army in the boat either jumped into the river to escape, or knelt down and surrendered. I killed two of them in total.
One was an officer who took the lead, forcing his men to fight hard. I saw him chop down two soldiers who were kneeling down to surrender, so I got angry and went after him. I originally thought that this guy would also fight with me, but I didn't expect that.
This man is a coward, he just knelt down and let go of the fight. Huh, isn't he very majestic when he kills others? I hate this kind of person the most, so I just chopped off his head with an axe."
All the generals burst out laughing. Liu Jingxuan patted Xiang Mi on the shoulder and said, "Tieniu, this is only one person. Who is the other person who was hacked to death?"
Xiang Mi curled his lips and said: "Grandma, he is an enemy soldier. Like all the enemy soldiers on the ship, when they saw me on the ship, they all knelt down and begged for mercy and threw away all their weapons.
When we got to the deck, I saw that they all threw away their weapons, so I was careless. I didn't expect that this guy actually hid a crossbow and took advantage of my unpreparedness to attack behind me. Damn it, I just felt a pain in my back.
I was hit by a crossbow, and I lost my grip on the big ax and fell to the ground. As a result, this bastard thought he had a chance to kill me, so he picked up the knife thrown in front of me and tried to chop me. It was so dangerous that time. It was really me.
This is the closest Tieniu has ever been to a dead ball."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "I've said it so many times, Tien Niu. It's easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. You just don't listen, and you don't wear armor. This crossbow won't kill you, but
I’m really lucky.”
Xiang Mi said embarrassedly: "It's my fault that I was so excited about killing that I forgot about this level, Brother Jinu. At that time, the bright sword was dazzling in front of my eyes. I thought I was going to be doomed this time, so my hands instinctively
He grabbed and pulled out the arrow from my back. Wow, that took a piece of meat weighing a pound or two off my back. These Chu dogs, they are so damned, so damned.
