It has been half an hour since the two armies met, and the heavy fog still continues to shroud the wide river. Under the desolate dome, the fog waves are rolling violently. Looking down with a sight beyond the reach of human beings, only a little bit of the top of Zhongshan Mountain has not yet been submerged, as if
The lotus horns in the midsummer ocean make everything in the world seem small and quiet. In this vast mist, there are countless soldiers hitting the water with oars, circling and shooting arrows. From time to time, some people turn over and fall into the water. It’s just these fights and these roars
, were swallowed up by the cold white waves. Zhuangzi once said that for nature, the war between the two countries is the same as the game between the snails, and they are not worth mentioning. But for the soldiers in it, every time
Screaming and drawing the bow are both the difference between success and failure, the chasm between life and death, and the sum of everything.
The scope of the fighting has spread to a section of the river more than ten miles away from the south bank. At this time, the line of sight is slightly better, and one can barely see the outline of the ship dozens of steps away. In the previous chase, the soldiers on both sides had let go.
Several rounds of arrows were fired, but due to the heavy fog, little effect was achieved. Most of the arrows were nailed to the arrow-proof wooden boards. If they wanted to determine the outcome, they had to get close to engage in the battle. The Han army knew this, and they
They encouraged each other and said: "We have fought so many battles since we joined the army, and we are no longer afraid of death! It's time to fight hand-to-hand with the thieves! If we have to fight bloody battles, can these Wu dogs compare to wild boars?"
After that, one after another Han soldiers put down their armor and picked up oars. They swung the oars and approached the Wu ships. The Wu people were really startled at first, but then they reacted and happily accepted the challenge of the Han army.
.The hand-to-hand combat in water battles is different from that in land battles. There is a set of methods for hand-to-hand combat in water battles. On land, unless the gap between two people is too great, the general battle between two people is to compete with each other's blood. After all, when they get close, the defenses of both sides are the same.
Wait, whoever is timid to use the sword first will be killed by the sword. In water battles, the hull structure of a warship is obviously stronger and weaker. Generally speaking, both ends of the ship are made of the hardest wood.
The middle part of the ship is a hollow structure and is often a joint of wood. Once it collides with the bow of the ship, the waist of the ship will inevitably break and the ship will sink into the water. Therefore, hand-to-hand combat on the water
, it is most taboo to have the bow of the boat facing the waist.
But the Han army didn't care about this. Huang Quan knew that they were not as skilled in boating as the Wu people, so he had given instructions during daily training: after ordering them to engage in battle, they must advance head to head with the Wu people, and then jump directly from the ship.
Carry out boarding battles. For this reason, many Han ships prepared hooks and halberds, aiming to hook the Wu ships and lock the Wu people's mobility.
The Wu army was basically unprepared for this. When they saw the Han army ships rushing towards them, they all turned around. Their proficiency in maneuvering the boats was indeed extremely high. While keeping a distance from the Han army ships, they turned around and moved smoothly.
An arc was drawn on the river, and in just a short moment, the bow of the ship was directly opposite the waist of the Han army's ship, and it hit it directly. After the first impact, the waists of several Han army ships were broken.
, leaving a huge gap, from which the river water poured in, and soon sank to the surface of the river. The remaining Han army ships did not fare much better. Although the ships were not destroyed, they also left shocking cracks on the sides of the ships.
, as long as it collides again, it will be destroyed on the spot.
But taking advantage of the opportunity of this collision, the Han soldiers were finally able to throw out the hook and nail it firmly to the side of the Wu ship. When the Wu people wanted to separate the ship and collide again, they suddenly found that the Han army was holding on to the rope.
They were trying their best to drag the sides of the two ships together. The Wu people suddenly panicked and immediately swung their knives to try to cut off the ropes on the hooks, but more and more hooks were thrown at them, and then there were hooks.
With the sound of "bang", the halberd hit the sides of the ship one after another. Many gaps immediately opened, and the river water poured into the Han army ships. But the Han soldiers had no scruples and immediately jumped in from the ships.
The Wu people on the enemy ship were randomly chopped into pieces. Many Wu people were caught off guard. They were choked by the Han soldiers and couldn't resist. They were chopped into pieces in an instant. Some people chose to jump into the river to escape, but here
In the cold river water in winter, it is still unknown how many people will have the strength to swim to the shore.
But this was only the first round of confrontation. Both sides were not familiar with the enemy's tactics. As the two armies fought more and more frequently, both sides were prepared. When the Wu people came to collide, the Han army was ahead of schedule.
They used oars to open the bow of the Wu people, and the Wu people were always on guard against the Han army's hooks. The two sides began to fall into a fierce battle, and they could not win a decisive victory. But looking at the overall situation, the number of the Han army's navy
There are more people than Wu people, and the Han army can tolerate losses better. If the confrontation continues, the situation will certainly be in favor of the Han army.
However, Huang Quan was still keenly aware of the strangeness on the battlefield.
There was still a vast and blurry predicament all around, but based on the sounds and noises of the surrounding ships, Huang Quan could still vaguely control the changes in the situation. From the beginning, Huang Quan was guessing the enemy general's intentions based on the Wu army's warships taking the initiative to provoke: Zhou Yu
Do you really want to fight together in foggy weather? Or is it a cover, secretly preparing to take advantage of the storm? Or should you turn to attack Liyang?
But as more and more ships from both sides engaged in battle, the Wu people's intention to actively seek war was undoubtedly exposed, and Huang Quan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just like Zhou Yu's trust in his own army, after these days of training, he also believed
The Han army would not be at a disadvantage in a water battle, so it did not prevent the Han ships from launching a large-scale attack. But what surprised him was that he had clearly heard that the Wu army had also brought large ships, so why were only small ships dispatched now? The scale of the battle had already
When the situation has expanded to this point, relying only on small boats like Qingque and Qingque will definitely not determine the decisive outcome. However, the enemy general still does not launch a general attack. This is nothing more than two possibilities. One is that the enemy has laid a trap in front.
, waiting for him to take the initiative to attack, and secondly, there is other help out there, which may join the battlefield later and reverse the situation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Thinking of this, Huang Quan's heart moved: What kind of trap can the Wu people set when they first arrive? To put it bluntly, they just want to catch them by surprise, so there must be no surprise. But when it comes to foreign aid,
, the Wu people in the south and Jianye had Zhou Bujie to resist, so there would be no mistakes. In the entire Jiangnan battlefield, only 20,000 Wu people under his command still surrendered, so Zhou Yu's idea was ready to come out. Although he had
Arrangements have been made to disperse 10,000 Wu people into various ships, but there are still 10,000 Wu people who have retained their complete organization and are still under the command of Deng Dang. Now Deng Dang has also been sent to the farthest place from the battlefield.
Once the right wing of the People's Liberation Army defected on the battlefield, the consequences would be disastrous.
Huang Quan is known as a famous general. Although he is worried about this, there is still no panic on his face. He carefully calculated that Deng Dang has been favored by the emperor since his surrender and was directly assigned the position of guarding the army. He dare not say that he is absolutely loyal.
, but I am definitely still moved, and I also set up a secret chat room with Deng Dang to observe his whereabouts, but did not find any strange behavior on his part, indicating that I have not been in contact with Zhou Yu before, so it is necessary to send someone there in advance at this time.
It might stabilize him.
So he immediately called Cen Guang over. Although Huang Quan was anxious, he still maintained a slow and firm tone, analyzed the situation at this time to Cen Guang, and then said to him: "Captain, you take two ships with a hundred people."
On the right wing, we must stabilize Deng Dang and prevent him from contacting the Wu people. Deng Dang has a very high prestige among the Wu people. As long as he does not make up his mind, the others will never dare to act rashly!"
After hearing this order, Cen Guang did not panic. Instead, he asked to the point: "What should I do if Deng Dang cares about his country and insists on surrendering to the thieves?"
Huang Quan was also worried about this. After a little hesitation, he pulled out the sword from his waist and handed it to Cen Guang, saying: "This is the Zhongxing Sword given to me by Your Majesty. It was given to the late Emperor by Emperor Xiaoling. If Deng Dang dares to disobey,
, you can kill him with this sword and keep an eye on the other generals." Seeing how sacred the sword was, Cen Guang immediately knelt on his knees and took it with great solemnity. Huang Quan said, "The success or failure of this time all depends on you.
There must be no mistakes in your hand!" Cen Guangze replied with enthusiasm: "General, don't worry, I will bring this sword over and I will make sure that the right wing is not moved at all!"
Cen Guang took the order and immediately summoned the two stern ships in front of the building. They had been waiting for orders since the battle, so there was almost no time to delay and they headed directly to the right wing. The battlefield at this time had become more complicated.
It was open and there were not many ships blocking the way. The two small boats immediately went down the river and headed straight for the right wing of the front line.
On the boat, Cen Guang saw that the soldiers around him were fighting hard. Many people fell into the water after being hit by the Wu army. They swam desperately on the river, but were soon swallowed up by the undercurrent. At the same time, many people were chopped into pieces.
The Wu people were thrown from the ship, and their blood disappeared into the river in an instant. This kind of fighting situation was not cruel, but as he went eastward, he found that the war became calmer, and many ships were docked by the river without being dispatched.
, most of the soldiers on the ship were watching from the bow, and obviously had no intention of joining the battlefield.
This situation made Cen Guang secretly curse in his heart: These Wu people don't even bother to pretend! Is it really possible to prevent them from defecting? Fortunately, Zhou Yu didn't know his location in advance and should still be sending people to pursue him.
Otherwise, the situation would have been chaotic now. He then stroked the sword in his hand and silently made up his mind that if Deng Dang behaved slightly differently, he would immediately cut off his head!
But the actual situation is that those Wu people who were watching looked at Cen Guang curiously and stopped paying attention. After all, two ships and about a hundred people seemed so insignificant among the ships on the right wing. They kept waiting for them to row.
When they arrived under Deng Dang's flagship and reported to the flagship, these Wu people realized that the person who came was entrusted by their lord, General Huang Quan, and came specifically to deliver an order to their lord.
