The building boat went down the river and soon arrived at Wuxia Pass. A real water pass!
Since the Shu soldier placed next to Lei Jianfei by Emperor Meng Xu, the head of Tiandu, intercepted Lei Jianfei's order to attack the building ship in time, the checkpoint was not blocked and no offensive was launched. All ships were
It passed quickly without any trouble!
When passing through the pass, everyone saw the majestic corner of the military defense of the Shu Navy!
Tuoba Xuan and Feng Jiuxiao stood side by side on the bow of the boat, looking at the military facilities on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and they couldn't help but sigh!
The great gates in the world are nothing more than this!
There are many arrow towers along the river on both sides, extending from the foot of the mountain to halfway up the mountain. They are densely packed all over the mountains and fields! It is estimated that there are hundreds of them!
Each arrow tower is about ten feet high, with a very wide view from a high position. Each arrow tower is about five feet apart. Four longbowmen can be stationed on each arrow tower, and a bow and arrow array of nearly two thousand people can be deployed on both sides of the bank.
!
When the time comes, thousands of arrows will be fired, and the color of heaven and earth will change!
In addition, there are dozens of artillery turrets set up on the fort halfway up the mountain! The artillery turret is a flat piece of land dug out of the mountain. The artilleryman stands high and overlooks the entire river. The range of the artillery can reach a hundred feet!
Whether it's bows and arrows or artillery, the firepower from one side can cover more than half of the river, so if both sides fire at the same time, it can cover the entire river! As long as a saturation attack is launched, no matter how many ships are on the entire Yangtze River, they will be sunk.
!No ship can pass through this powerful tower defense formation with powerful firepower!
Although no iron chain appeared across the river, everyone still found the iron chain crossing the bottom of the river from both sides of the water bank! The iron chain was as thick as an arm! The end of the exposed iron chain on the bank was connected to the gallows
Above. As long as dozens of soldiers on both sides of the river pull the winch at the same time, this large iron chain can rise out of the water in an instant and block the entire Yangtze River!
Tuoba Xuan carefully looked at the defenses on both sides, and began to rehearse in his mind the scene of the Khitan navy attacking here against the current.
At this time, Feng Jiuxiao started to pour cold water on him again, "Master National Preceptor, are you deducing a countercurrent attack?"
Tuoba Xuan saw Feng Jiuxiao looking at him with a smile but not a smile. He knew that he wanted to pour cold water on him again, but he had no way out, so he had to bite the bullet and face the difficulty: "Not bad!"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Have you ever heard, Imperial Master, that there has been a precedent for a successful attack going upstream for thousands of years?"
Tuoba Xuan's face was expressionless, "No!"
Feng Jiuxiao asked: "Then why are you still considering this?"
Tuoba Xuan counterattacked: "The failure of the ancients does not necessarily mean that we in Daliao cannot succeed today!"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Haha, the Imperial Master is indeed so heroic as to throw a whip to cut off the flow of water, but if I want to harm you, I will support you in attacking from the waterway with both hands! But it is not my character to refuse to save you."
Tuoba Xuandao: "Tell me and listen." Although he knew that Feng Jiuxiao's ultimate goal was to attack him, he still couldn't help but want to hear what he was going to say.
"Your Khitan's military superiority lies on horseback, in bows and arrows, not in ships, not in waterways. But you insist on competing with Shu for the strength of the navy, which is tantamount to using your own weaknesses to compete with others' strengths.
Just like Tian Ji's horse racing, if your lower-grade horse versus someone else's higher-grade horse, of course you will lose more than you win, and you will almost die!"
Tuoba Xuan said disapprovingly: "Of course I know the allusion of Tian Ji's horse racing. But your concept is a secret exchange. Do you think we Khitan let the cavalry become sailors? Use some landlubbers to fight water battles? You really think of us as Cao Cao
?The soldiers were obviously seasick, so they had to force themselves aboard? In the end, the ships were connected together and the Sun-Wu coalition was burned down and defeated?" At this point, he suddenly showed a proud look, "To tell you the truth, our Liao Kingdom is the same.
There are navy troops! Don’t you know this, Mr. Feng?” He felt that he was finally letting out a bad breath! Because Feng Jiuxiao didn’t know that Khitan had a navy army!
Feng Jiuxiao didn't seem to be affected at all, and said indifferently: "Oh? You have a navy? Oh! I know. That's right. Khitan not only has big rivers, such as the Yalu River, Heilongjiang, and Songhua River, but also
There is a sea, and almost all of it includes the Bohai Sea in my territory. I think of what you said. It’s amazing when I think about it. You are actually a country close to the sea! There is no sea in the Great Zhou Kingdom, but you actually have one. This world
It’s really amazing.”
Tuoba Xuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "How new is this? Our country of Daliao is close to the sea, in addition to the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea! So we have a lot of warships! You can come and go freely on the sea with strong winds and waves, let alone this calm interior.
Land and rivers? So, if there is a water war, who will win and who will lose? Only God knows!"
Feng Jiuxiao looked indifferent and didn't show any surprise at all. She directly ignored Tuoba Xuan's newly established sense of superiority and said, "Yes, your navy is also very strong, but if you go against the current, you will also suffer a loss!"
Tuoba Xuan's face was expressionless, "Oh? How do you say this?"
Tuoba Xuan knew that Feng Jiuxiao had finally uncovered the information that "Da Liao has a naval force", but this was not considered a top secret. Some of the top military and political figures in the Zhou Dynasty should have known about it a long time ago!
Even some common people should know something, but he didn't know it! Although Feng Jiuxiao looked secretly happy in her eyes and thought that others didn't know, but who am I, Tuoba Xuan? You can't even tell this?
Since you enjoy it endlessly, let me let you enjoy it as much as you want! Then don’t blame me for finding an opportunity to strike back at you!
Feng Jiuxiao actually explained very seriously: "Look, just like here, the two sides started a war. You attacked from the lower reaches and went all the way upstream. It can be said that you traveled thousands of miles and worked hard to reach here.
It must be that the men and horses are exhausted and are approaching the end of the battle, because it is a countercurrent. If you don't advance, you will retreat, so you will definitely consume more energy to reach this place. As for the sailors of Dashu, they don't have to do anything. They just lie here and wait.
Ah, wait for work until you get into their ambush circle. With thousands of arrows fired and artillery bombarded, there is a high possibility that you will all be annihilated!"
Annihilate them all? The words are getting harder and harder to hear!
Tuoba Xuan's face was a little gloomy, and he forced a smile, "Are we just going to stay there and let them attack?"
Feng Jiuxiao raised his eyebrows: "It's no exaggeration to say that the speed of your boat against the current is turtle speed! The faster the river flows, the slower you will go upstream. It's almost the same as stopping there. You can only treat it as Shu.
The army's arrow target! But if you can't forcefully break through this line of defense quickly, you have to avoid the stormy offensive of the Shu soldiers as soon as possible. If you want to avoid the rain of arrows, you can only go downstream along the Yangtze River! But when you get to the downstream, we can't
Is it just a waste of time to come upstream? Why are we here? Just take a walk and then go back?" Feng Jiuxiao almost said sincerely, as if she was thinking about Daliao every sentence, but Tuoba Xuan heard everything she said was Daliao.
The Liao Dynasty was doomed. It was a dead end. The whole army was wiped out and all were annihilated.
And Feng Jiuxiao kept talking, "So as long as you continue to break through, the Shu army will definitely fire thousands of arrows and fire artillery. Under the beautiful scenery of the sky filled with fire, where can you wooden boats hide? And the big iron chain is there.
Stop it, no matter how fast you go, what can you do? Aren’t you stuck here and unable to get down, and are you dead in the end?”
Tuoba Xuan suppressed his dissatisfaction and said calmly, "You're so stupid! Who said we have to be someone's target? We can't send some skilled soldiers to outflank them from the alley. Let's pull out some first.
Arrow towers and artillery? Without the support of arrow towers and artillery, what do they have?"
"You have considered this, but they have not considered this? Is there a vacuum defense around the arrow tower, with not a single infantry stationed? Are they just waiting to have their arrow towers killed? There must be tens of thousands of infantry below.
This defense!"
After a pause, he continued: "Besides, without the arrow tower, they still have a five-tooth warship! A five-tooth warship is quite powerful! In the past, Yang Su of the Sui Dynasty commanded the navy in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
Departing from Yong'an, the ships left the Three Gorges and went down the river. The ships were numerous and powerful, and they were unstoppable. However, during the decisive battle between the two armies in Yanzhou, the Sui army only attacked the enemy's formation with four five-tooth warships and sank more than ten ships of the Chen army.
Enemy ships, captured more than 2,000 enemy people! Now there are more than four Wuya warships in Dashu, unless you also have Wuya warships, maybe you can fight!"
"And you have to make sure that Daliao's territory reaches the Yangtze River coast first! Otherwise, your five-tooth battleship can only be a mirror in the mirror!" This is the fact that only shipbuilding on the Yangtze River can play a role on the Yangtze River, otherwise even if it is closest to the Yangtze River,
Building ships in the Yellow River is useless! If it can't be sailed into the Yangtze River, what is it if it's not a waste display?
Tuoba Xuan couldn't say anything for a long time. Although he was well-mannered, it was quite embarrassing to be "pointed out" by Feng Jiuxiao in front of Zhang Zilu and others. He tried to find the steps but was always blocked by Feng Jiuxiao. He had not yet refuted Feng Jiuxiao.
As for Jiuxiao, Feng Jiuxiao started again, "Also, let me remind you, Master National Preceptor, that you have been living in the north of the Great Wall for a long time, and the weather is dry. When you go to humid areas like the southwest, be careful of the water and soil incompatibility. I heard that the real death in the Battle of Chibi was due to the fire attack.
Only one-third of Cao's army was under his command, and the other two-thirds actually died from the plague!"
Tuoba Xuan finally broke out: "How can our current military strength in Daliao be comparable to that of Cao Wei's barley and Xu soldiers in the past? Our Daliao has Lingxiao City, but we don't have any miracle doctors? When Lingxiao City goes out with the army, none of the problems you mentioned are problems!"
Feng Jiuxiao chuckled and raised her thumbs with both hands at the same time, "The Imperial Master is wise!" He said in his heart: This time when I go to Beijing, I will stop by Lingxiao City to pay my respects to my "old friend" Mr. Yan.
How could he just let it go when he and the Jinzhong Chang family ambushed him?
