Giant arrows were continuously shot down the hillside, and the stones slid down the rope behind the giant arrows. The right side of the building became heavier and heavier, and the entire hull slowly fell to the right.
For those soldiers who lost their footing and rushed to the right side, it became increasingly obvious that the right side of the ship was heavier, and it was possible that it would roll over and fall into the water.
All the soldiers were stunned by this scene. Most of them were from the north and were not good at swimming. Once they fell into the water, their lives would be in danger. Faced with the sudden death, they were all panicked and could no longer care about the things in their hands.
Weapons, grab all fixed objects around you and try to prevent yourself from slipping into the water.
Amid the panicked cries of the Wei army, Sima Division's orders were drowned out. It wasn't until the drummer managed to steady himself, beat the war drum, and gave the order for all personnel to assemble on the port side that some soldiers understood.
But it was already too late at this time. Under the combined effects of rocks and Wei soldiers, the warship's side angle was too large, so that the hole in the ship's board that had been shot by the giant arrow sank below the water's surface. The river gurgled in, increasing the pressure again.
The speed of the deflection increased, causing greater panic. The tilted deck also made it difficult for Wei's soldiers to move. Even after hearing the orders issued by Sima Division, they could not make effective movements and could only slide helplessly to the right.
go.
With the help of Liang Ji, Master Sima finally climbed to the left side of the building boat using his hands and feet. He held on to the railing tightly to avoid sliding to the right side of the building boat like most people. However, he saw only a few people like him.
He was still half hanging on the left side of the building, which was not enough to balance the building. In his heart, there was no joy at all for escaping from death, but only endless sorrow and despair.
Facing Wei Ba again, he faced death before he almost had a chance to make a move.
Sima Shi, who was full of confidence, suddenly encountered an unexpected situation, and his opponent was Wei Ba, whom he was most eager to defeat. However, before he could touch the opponent, he was beaten by the opponent. His mood was mixed for a while, and he couldn't explain it.
What a feeling it was, I just felt my nose was sore. He hugged the side of the ship and stepped on the deck with his legs alternately, maintaining the balance of his body, but he didn't care too much.
Fortunately, Liang Ji, who joined the army, did not lose his mind. He shouted loudly: "Young Master, Young Master, quickly order other warships to rescue -"
Master Sima suddenly woke up, turned around, and yelled at the drummer who was still holding the drum stand, "Drum, please help."
The drummer's face turned red and he tried his best to hook the drum stand with one arm and beat the war drum hard with the other arm. Although the sound of the war drum was a bit weird, he could still make out the meaning.
In fact, there was no need to be reminded by the sound of war drums. The warships in front and behind had already seen all this. When they saw the Shu Han army arrayed on the north bank, they became more vigilant, but their mood at the time was the same as that of Sima Division.
He didn't take Wei Ba and others seriously, folded his arms, and waited to see the joke. Unexpectedly, the other party actually used such a strange move, and immediately overturned Sima Shi's boat.
Some people were stunned, and some people who reacted quickly realized the danger of Sima Division immediately. Without waiting for Sima Division to order help, they immediately mobilized the sailors, rowed the warships, and quickly approached Sima Division. More than a dozen warships surrounded them.
Some cut the ropes hanging from the boulders, while others rushed to the other side to rescue those who had fallen into the water or those who were about to fall into the water onto their boats.
The water surface suddenly became extremely lively. The originally orderly Wei army navy was confused and collided with each other. One boat was even knocked over by its companions. The soldiers on the boat were like dumplings in the pot, falling into the water one after another and beating desperately.
He hit the water and shouted for help.
Wei Ba was waiting for this opportunity. As soon as he saw the Wei army's warship parked in the water and busy rescuing people, he immediately ordered the attack.
With an order, more than a dozen repeating crossbow carts were pushed up. The crossbowmen adjusted the shooting direction, triggered the crossbow machine, and sharp arrows flew out of the crossbow cart one after another and shot at the Wei army officers and soldiers on the warship.
The Wei army was busy rescuing the people on the building boat. Although warships rushed up to protect them, they were still caught off guard by the continuous crossbow fire. Some people were continuously shot and fell into the water, causing a splash of water.
Wei Ba set up a formation on the river bank, only fifty steps away from the Wei army, and the nearest was only thirty steps away. Within this range, any bow and crossbow could effectively kill. The Wei army wanted to save people, but at the same time, it had to guard against the Shu Han army.
The attack left and right, left and right were in a state of embarrassment.
Originally, among the navy, the strongest attack power was the building ship. Not only because the building ship was large in size, it could directly ram and crush the opponent, but also because there were more warriors on the building ship and could organize an effective attack. Ordinary warships
Although there are soldiers, but because at least half of them are responsible for rowing, less than half, maybe even only one-third, can actually take up weapons to attack. Now the two sides are shooting at each other from a distance, and those holding swords and shields
Warriors have no place to use themselves. They can only hold up their shields and defend passively. No matter how sharp the sword or spear in their hands is, they can't reach the enemy. Only the few bows that can really organize a counterattack are
crossbowman.
As a result, the two sides formed an unbalanced ratio. The Wei army had nearly 3,000 troops, but was shot to pieces by the Shuhan army, which had only more than 1,000 people. They suffered heavy casualties. More than half of the people were trapped in the water and could not attack. Only
Being beaten passively.
This is what Wei Ba wants.
How to fight an opponent who is more agile than you? Answer: First grab his hair and then crush him.
Wei Ba grabbed Sima Shi's handsome boat, which meant that he grabbed Sima Shi's hair, making it impossible for him to escape and use guerrilla tactics. Then he took advantage of the fact that boat maneuvering required a large number of manpower to turn the Wei army's advantage into a disadvantage.
His own advantages were maximized. Although his military strength was not as good as that of the Sima Division, he had multiple crossbow vehicles and the shooting density was at least twice as high as that of the Wei army, so he had enough advantages.
Of course, this is when the Wei army cannot reach the shore. Once the Wei army is allowed to go ashore, the military advantage of both sides will be reversed immediately.
Wei Ba knew this very well. On the one hand, he ordered the crossbow carts and the giant crossbows on the high slope to fire continuously, killing and injuring a large number of Wei army soldiers.
Throw it to the river to prevent the Wei army's warships from approaching.
Sima Shi was rescued on a medium-sized warship. Seeing the gorgeous ship sinking slowly, he almost burst out of anger. But he did not yell. On the contrary, he was so calm that it was scary. He
Regardless of the danger, he ordered the warships to move as close to the shore as possible and organized archers to counterattack. At the same time, he ordered some warships to disperse to both sides, forcibly land on the shore and outflank them from both sides.
The two sides fought together on the river bank.
Sima Division's ship was sunk with more than a dozen giant arrows. The crossbowmen on the high slope were very excited. They turned their giant crossbows and aimed at the Wei warships in the river to shoot. The lethality of these giant arrows was astonishing, with a fierce roar.
Sound, flying over a distance of thirty or forty steps, with almost 100% chance of hitting a person. If it hits a person, the body will be pierced. If it hits a ship, the barbed arrow will crack the ship board, and may even directly penetrate the bottom of the ship. Once the bottom of the ship is hit,
If it is penetrated, the river water will surge in and the entire ship will lose its combat effectiveness.
These condescending giant crossbows caused great trouble to the Wei army. Almost every roar meant the death of a Wei army soldier or even the loss of a warship.
Although Master Sima was calm and responded promptly, facing the Shu Han army's superiority in crossbows, especially in the face of the powerful lethality of several giant crossbows set up on high slopes, his losses were still
The number is increasing rapidly. He himself has become the target of concentrated attacks from these giant crossbows. At least two of the several giant crossbows have been targeting him. Huge crossbow arrows roar towards him, hitting those who want to use shields to block them.
The personal guards suffered heavy casualties, and every crossbow arrow could almost take away the lives of two or three people.
In addition to the sharp increase in the casualties of his personal guards, he also became a disaster for warships. With continuous attacks, the warship he was on was quickly sunk. In just half an hour, he changed four ships
As a result, the four command ships successively lost their combat effectiveness under the attack of giant crossbows. Many soldiers fell into the water, and less than half of them were rescued on other warships.
When the loss of warships reached one-third, Danshui was already full of Wei soldiers shouting for help and sunken or sinking warships. Those warships that were lucky enough not to sink had also become deformed because they had rescued too many companions.
It was so crowded that they could no longer fight. The warships that were ordered to outflank Sima Shi spent a lot of effort, and finally more than 300 people landed ashore. However, facing the blocking of the Shu Han army on the shore, they were trapped.
It was impossible to move forward on the soft river beach.
After just half an hour, Master Sima looked at the navy that suffered heavy casualties and knew that there was no point in fighting anymore. Apart from letting Wei Ba slaughter for a while, there was no possibility of going ashore to counterattack. He ordered a retreat, taking less than half of the battle force with him.
The boat fled in panic.
The battle ended with Wei Ba's victory. After a simple count, Wei Ba sank one of Sima Division's ships and more than twenty medium-sized warships. The number of killed and wounded Wei soldiers could not be counted for a while. They were floating in the river.
Judging from the dead bodies and the number of people who swam to both sides of the river, there were at least seven or eight hundred people. The credit for breaking the ship belonged to the giant crossbow, but it was the serial ballista that caused the most damage. On the cramped warship, the Wei army could not organize effective protection.
, they could only rely on the shields in their hands and the armor on their bodies to resist. At such a close distance, facing Wei Ba's improved Lianyu Chariot, they had no ability to resist and suffered heavy casualties.
Of course, the basis of all this is that Wei Ba took advantage of the high center of gravity of the building ship and its tendency to capsize sideways, artificially increasing the weight of one side of the building ship, catching Sima Shi off guard, grabbing his hair, and then
Only then can he be slapped in the face happily. Once Sima Shi came to his senses and decided to retreat, he could only look at the water and sigh. He asked the soldiers to push the crossbow carts and giant crossbows to chase Sima Shi along the river.
As for the warship, it is simply an impossible task.
However, ordinary soldiers would not think about so many things. They only knew that they followed Wei Shenjun and defeated Sima Division again, and they fought happily. This was enough. Their morale was greatly boosted, they did not feel tired at all, and they sang happily Song, return to Wuguan.
