The wheel operator quickly turned the wooden wheel, and the wooden wheel pieces hit the water, pushing the armored ship forward. The crossbowman pulled the crossbow machine, loosened the bow string, and the sharp arrows shot through with a sharp roar.
hole, and shot at the body of Wu Jun not far away. At such a close distance, the arrow easily pierced the leather armor of Wu Jun and penetrated their bodies.
The spearman thrust out his spear with all his strength, and dozens of spears suddenly thrust out. Wu Jun, who was close at hand, had no time to react before he was stabbed. One of them stood on tiptoes, and Wu Jun, who was about to look inside, suddenly
He was stabbed in the face and fell into the water screaming.
The incident happened suddenly. By the time Wu Jun reacted, the soldiers on the two approaching boats had suffered heavy casualties. The boats had also lost control. They were swaying under the impact of the waves brought by the armored boats and could capsize at any time. But more than ten steps away
Several warships under surveillance were also staggered by a burst of fire, and the soldiers who were hit by arrows turned over and fell into the water. The sound of splashing was endless, and water splashed everywhere, just like Wu Jun's panic mood at this moment.
Just when Wu Jun was in panic when he was attacked, Feng Jin commanded the armored ship to rush forward at full speed, using his own body weight to ram it. The patrolling warships were all small warships, thin and long, with only a dozen people on each ship.
There were no more than thirty or forty men, so there was no match for such a large ship with a crew of five hundred. Wherever the armored ship went, the warships of the Wu army capsized.
The tactics of water warfare are not complicated. Shoot with a crossbow from a distance, then when you get close, use the bow of the boat to hit the opponent's belly, or hit each other, or the soldiers jump over the boat and engage in close combat. The only difference is that it is fighting on the water, and whether the soldiers can move without shaking.
If you stand firm on a stopped warship, can you steer the warship smoothly? When the warship collides,
, hitting the enemy's belly with the bow is the most lethal. Therefore, how to hit the enemy without being hit by the enemy, and whether you can catch up with the enemy without being caught up by the enemy, have become the main factors that test the ability of water warfare. How
Commanding warships to pursue and adjust direction has become the basic quality of a naval general.
The armored ship was covered with thick wooden boards and embedded with iron armor. Whether the bows and arrows fired by the Wu army or the spears thrust at them, they had no effect on the Shu soldiers in the armored ship unless they could shoot the arrows.
Only when you enter the shooting hole can you
It may have practical effects. To do this in a fierce battle, I am afraid that not one of a hundred crossbows can be picked out. Even if they approached the armored ship, they stood on the swaying warship, trying to stab the spear
Getting into the hole is no easy task.
Therefore, although the Wu army surrounded the armored ship with several warships, shooting and slashing, they were unable to injure the Shu soldiers in the armored ship. And they were unable to fight back against the huge size of the armored ship.
One after another, they were knocked over and sunk by the armored ships.
In front of this unfamiliar opponent, Wu's soldiers, who were dominant in water battles, were helpless and extremely passive. With no hope of fighting, they began to escape.
Feng Jin commanded the warship to catch up. Some of the spearmen put down their spears and temporarily acted as wheel pilots. More than two hundred people turned the wooden wheel and drove the warship very fast. It was actually no better than those of the Wu army.
Small boats are inferior. Once they catch up,
When they reach the crossbow shooting range, the crossbowmen will shoot at Wu Jun's sailors with all their strength. As long as a few more sailors are shot to death, the speed of Wu Jun's warships will be affected and they will be overtaken. Once caught up, it will be difficult
Escape the fate of capsizing a ship and falling into the water.
After winning the first battle, all the Shu soldiers were excited. They drove the warships and chased the Wu army away. They ran rampant and knocked over seven or eight Wu army warships. Seeing the Wu army's water stronghold right in front of them, they turned around. The bow of the ship left in a swaggering manner, and along the way, he tortured the Wu troops who were rescuing themselves.
When Wu Jun received the news, a large number of warships rushed out of the water stronghold, and Feng Jin and others had disappeared into the vast night. Wu Jun did not dare to pursue for fear of an ambush, so they had to strengthen their defenses and report the battle situation to Zhu Ran, the general of the Northern Expedition. .
When Zhu Ran heard the report, he was furious. He was known for his rigorous military management. It was really a shame and humiliation for him to be killed by the enemy today. He immediately asked the soldiers who were responsible for inquiring about the information to come and inquire about the enemy's situation. Understanding, he couldn't help but be surprised.
From beginning to end, the enemy had only one strange-looking warship, but its combat power was very powerful. Not only did he defeat the scout ship he had arranged in front of the water village to take charge of early warning, but he also pursued it for more than ten miles and did not stop until he was in front of the camp. Move forward. According to the reactions of all the soldiers participating in the battle, this ship is a lonely ship without an escort. It looks strange, but its fighting methods are fierce and domineering. No matter whether it is shot by arrows or thrust by spears, it cannot be hurt.
After listening to the report from his subordinates, Zhu Ran's heart moved. He remembered the notification sent by Sun Quan. The reason why he rushed here from Jiangxia was because Sun Quan heard that the Wei army was building warships and might attack Wu. Could it be that the Wei army Are these warships being built? If so, and a warship has such combat effectiveness, then the Wei army may be more powerful than the Wu army in water warfare. This ship came alone. Could it be that the Wei army was testing a new type of warship? The effect?
Zhu Ran did not dare to neglect and immediately sent out scouts to find out the news.
The scout ship sent out at the beginning quickly sent back news, but it was not news about the Wei warship, but news about the attack. When they went to Xiangyang to inquire about the news, they were attacked by the strange-shaped warship without exception. .Facing such a powerful opponent, the small warships serving as scouts had no power to fight back. Only a few warships escaped before it approached. Once they entered its attack range, basically none of them could survive.
In just a few days, the Wu army lost more than ten small warships, with hundreds of casualties and missing people. This strange-shaped warship immediately caused panic among the Wu army, because it often appeared in the evening or early morning, more It appeared at night, so Wu Jun gave the warship a scary name: Ghost Ship.
As soon as this name came out, Wu Jun's expression changed.
Zhu Ran did not dare to be careless. He ordered the army to ban the rumors and sent more and larger warships to search. They encountered the ghost ship again without any surprise, but the ghost ship was very powerful and ordinary medium-sized warships. Ships are also no match for it. As long as there are no large ships in Wu Jun's fleet, it dares to rush up and fight. Facing this heavily armed ghost ship, Wu Jun has no way to defeat the enemy. Tired of dealing with it, he can only Scattered and fled.
Fortunately, the ghost ship also has the ghost ship's weakness. Its speed seems to be its shortcoming. It is not very easy to chase. It will give up after catching up for a mile or two at most. However, its attack power and defensive ability are too strong. , Facing such an opponent, Wu Jun seemed to have no better way besides running away.
A ghost ship blocked Wu Jun's path. This made Wu Jun panic and also made Zhu Ran very angry. He had to send out building ships to perform scouting missions. Only building ships of the same size can
It may scare the ghost ship, and it must be two or more building ships. Once the building ship is left alone, the ghost ship will still dare to attack.
However, when two or more large ships travel, it is not to inquire for information, but to perform a combat mission. This was so loud that it quickly attracted the attention of Wei Jun, who immediately responded. There was a fight between the two sides.
There was a small-scale conflict, so Wu Jun was horrified to discover that Wei Jun not only had a ghost ship, but more.
After receiving the news, Zhu Ran couldn't help but be shocked. He immediately reported the news to Sun Quan in Jiangling as quickly as possible, and at the same time, he was ready to prepare for any contingency.
Seeing the confrontation between the Wei and Wu armies, Feng Jin successfully completed his mission and quietly retreated to Weishui. He used the same method to transfer the warship to Danshui and returned smoothly.
Neither Wu nor Wei knew that such a Shu warship had appeared between them. They were all distracted by the tense situation. If the monarchs of both sides were nearby, they would still be in an alliance.
, I'm afraid that a big fight has already begun. Even so, Zhu Ran hated the previous losses and had already concluded that Wei Jun was provoking the initiative, but he was not sure of victory and did not dare to take the initiative to attack.
When Sun Quan received Zhu Ran's report, he was shocked and angry. He immediately ordered preparations for battle and sent someone to question Cao Rui. "You are negotiating with me while building warships and attacking our army. What do you mean?" Cao Rui was also confused.
A thorough investigation was ordered, but none of the Wei generals recognized it. Naturally, this result did not satisfy Sun Quan. The already fragile trust suddenly collapsed. If the monarchs on both sides had not had some sense, they would have fought.
Despite this, the situation became extremely tense.
Sun Quan urgently summoned Zhu Ran and inquired in detail about the battle between the two sides. He was greatly worried about the Wei army's new warships. Water warfare was the foundation of Jiangdong's founding. Cao Wei always looked at the river and sighed because they could not fight on water.
Competing with the State of Wu. Now that the State of Wei has more powerful warships, is it possible for the State of Wu to exist in the future? And to claim the throne? It is simply a big joke. If the country is not destroyed, then it is good.
Sun Quan felt a strong crisis and once again regarded Wei as his strongest opponent. He summoned Lu Xun, Zhu Ran and others to Jiangling to discuss how to deal with it.
Zhu Huan originally had no good impression of the Wei State. When he heard the news, he immediately jumped up and demanded an alliance with the Shu State immediately to attack the Wei State. Kill him before their navy formed a battle to avoid breeding tigers. Zhu Huan
However, I personally felt that Wei
The pressure brought by the army's new warships naturally supported Zhu Ran's suggestion. Although Lu Xun felt that it was not appropriate to do so, he did not dare to be careless. The improvement of Wei's strength in water warfare directly threatened the survival of Wu.
This is not something to be taken lightly.
The discussion soon became one-sided. Sun Quan decided to abandon Wei and form an alliance with Shu again. He urgently summoned Fei Yi and put forward his idea tactfully. Fei Yi knew what he wanted, so of course he readily agreed, and then "unintentionally"
" revealed a secret: In fact, the technology of the new warships of the Wei army was stolen from my Han Dynasty, and the real inventor was the youngest Prime Minister of my Han Dynasty who joined the army, Wei Ba.
