Chapter 507: A big scuffle on the shore of Jishui

Chapter 507 There was a big scuffle on the shore of Jishui

……………………………………

The generals of the navy didn't know that compared with the ships of tens of thousands of tons in later generations, these are really just small fish and shrimp now, so when Liu Hanshao named them, he accidentally carried forward the "traditional virtues of modesty in the Han Dynasty". If it is called "Great White Shark" now, and even more powerful ships will be developed in the future, what should it be called?

Aircraft carrier?

Starships?

What science and technology needs is not "modesty" and "good name", but absolute hard power, as long as there is strength in hand, even if it is a "little broken child", others can be called father.

However, Liu Hanshao's hard work could not be understood by others, even Guan Hai, the commander of the navy.

However, Guan Hai had his own understanding, and when he was severely educating those complaining naval generals, he asked in a deep voice: "Are we playing ordinary shrimp?" ”

That's a lobster!

It's a little smaller......

But the supreme commander is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the supreme commander is the true dragon emperor, as the first naval army under the commander, the ship can be named "crayfish", what a glory, what a trust, how appropriate? Is there anything you don't like?

At first glance, the three types of warships of the First Navy seem to be distinguished according to the number of bow trebuchets, but in fact, they are ...... In fact, it seems to be true.

In fact, the accuracy of the stone throwing machine is limited, and even the hit rate on land is worrying, let alone on a ship, floating on the sea? So it is more of a deterrent, that is, it is used to scare people. However, on the battlefield, stone bumps are flying around, and how many people can not be frightened?

And when it comes to the inside, the crayfish of the first water army are even more scared to death. The enemy is still using their hands, and maybe more than half of a three-hundred-man boat must be paddled, but the crayfish only need a few people to burn the boiler, and most of the rest can be used as combatants. The enemy is still shooting crossbows and arrows, preparing to hook the enemy ship with a hook, and when boarding the ship in close combat, the crayfish saves space for the sailor's paddle, and the left and right sides of the ship are open, row by row, and there are bed crossbows inside.

This was not a fair battle, and when Liang Gang and his sailors saw the fleet led by Guan Hai, smoking thick smoke, like a sea beast rushing towards them, the end was already doomed. Liang Gang originally thought about surrendering, but as the enemy's main ship, his ship was warmly received by the First Naval Army, and even the unreliable stone projectile fired by the catapult was hit three times, and then Liang Gang returned to the broad embrace of the sea.

Wang Ling was very depressed, as the commander of the guard brigade of the First Water Army, he couldn't "guard" the commander to fight a water fight together, but was sent to his senior brother, deputy commander Huang Zhong. However, Deputy Army Commander Huang asked him to only be responsible for transporting troops, so Wang Ling commanded a group of "Jiwei shrimp" to run around, but he could only watch other brothers go to war and make meritorious contributions.

In the Han Zheng Army, all the guard units are elite, and even in terms of salary and job authority, they are higher than the generals at the same level, such as the guard brigade commander is equivalent to the deputy division commander, and the guard regiment commander is equivalent to the deputy brigade commander.

This time was the first battle of the First Naval Army, Guan Hai was in charge of naval warfare, and Huang Zhong was in charge of landing operations, so whether they could arrange the troop carriers and transport the soldiers ashore in a fast and orderly manner was their first priority. That's why Huang Zhong entrusted such an important task to his junior brother.

In Shouguang City, the southeasternmost part of Le'an County, Huang Zhong led the landing force of the first division and two brigades of the First Water Army, the goal was to capture here, in addition to protecting the flank of Wenpin and blocking the army in the south of Qingzhou from going north, it could also create the illusion that the Han Zheng army planned to encircle Linzi, giving Yuan Shu great pressure.

However, although the establishment of the naval army is high, the actual strength is not so much, and the first division and two brigades led by Huang Zhong add up to more than 10,000 people. Moreover, the entire northern part of Qingzhou was fighting, and Le'an County even lost its governance seat Linji, and Shouguang City was naturally heavily guarded. So Huang Zhong has been thinking about how he should lay down Shouguang City. The ships of the navy are very powerful, but when they go ashore, the landing force is not as powerful as the other infantry troops, at least they lack heavy offensive weapons, but now the time is pressing, whether it is made now or waiting for Wang Ling to transport it, it seems that it is too late.

The first division of the First Water Army, the division commander Wang Ying used to be the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Marshal under Guan Hai, so he had the same idea as Guan Hai, and this time he also came back to take revenge, so he admonished Huang Zhong and attacked Shouguang directly, and he was willing to take the lead.

Liu Shi was transferred from the Black Mountain Army after he washed his white, so he suggested to Huang Zhong if we could persuade the Shouguang defenders to surrender. At that time, the supreme commander personally went to Taihang Mountain to persuade our brothers in the mountains to give up resistance and return to the warm embrace of the imperial court. In addition, our Han Zhengjun also had Gao Jiegao Minister riding into Chencang alone, and Brigade Commander Lu Bulu riding into Jinyang alone...... It seems that Liu Shi was washed well by the inspectors, at least he remembered a lot of glorious "battle examples" of the Han Zheng Army.

However, as he spoke, without waiting for others to refute him, Liu Shi himself couldn't go on, he couldn't help but let Deputy Commander Huang ride into Shouguang alone, right? In case the Shouguang defenders don't give face, isn't it equivalent to fooling Deputy Commander Huang into the pit?

In the end, from the various proposals, Huang Zhong decided to choose a plan to win in danger, not to attack Shouguang for the time being, but to attack the "Guan Pavilion" in the south of Shouguang City. More than 10,000 people attacked a pavilion, no effort at all, and after occupying here, you can wait for the Shouguang defenders to attack, so as to avoid their own attack, and at the same time can also create the illusion of encircling Linzi.

But the danger of this plan is that it may not only attract the Shouguang defenders, but also the Qingzhou army of Beihai or even Qi, plus Liang Ji who went north from Donglai, I really don't know how many enemy troops I will face in the worst case. If that happens, and you can't resist it, maybe the only way out is at sea.

"Yanyun, for the lives of my brothers and brothers, I will entrust them to you."

When Huang Zhong said this to Wang Ling, Wang Ling really wanted to say a foul word.

"Senior brother, let me go, can I give my life to you?"

"No, no. You're still young! ”

Immediately, Huang Zhong led the army to land and raided Guanting, making the entire Qingzhou battlefield more lively and fragmented.

In the northern part of Qingzhou, after Yan Liang retreated, he learned that Han Meng, the 20th Division, had crossed Luoshui, and Wen Ping did not let his troops move closer to him, but gave up Qiancheng, took the initiative to converge in the past, and then waved his army to the west. At this point in the war, there was no point in garrisoning Qiancheng again, and Wen Ping was not going west to pursue Yan Liang, his main goal was Zou Ping. As long as Zouping City is taken, it is equivalent to completely cleaning up the "Ershui Defense Line" laid by Zhang Xun, and then from west to east, connecting with Licheng, Suxian, Linji, and Le'an, and pressing Zhang Xun and new reinforcements over Qiaorui on all fronts.

Now, it is impossible for Yan Liang to enter Zouping again, because entering the city will inevitably be the result of becoming a lone army and being besieged, so he wants to retreat to Liang Zou south of Jishui, where he will continue to resist the various departments led by the Wenpin Office with Jishui. However, Zhang Xun didn't think so, if Zou Ping was lost, his "Ershui Defense Line" would be broken on all fronts, and there would not even be much capital left for passive defense. So while trying to send an order to Yan Liang to defend Zouping, he increased his troops to Liang Zou, and then supported Zouping. At the same time, it increased troops to Taixian County north of Dongpingling, in an attempt to cross Jishui from there and recapture Suxian County. Even if there is no "two waters", at least there will be a "one water" left.

In the face of such a situation, Wang Naohao, who is the deputy marshal of the Southern Front, can no longer lie motionless in Licheng, if Zhang Xun is casually allowed to divide his troops to seize the city, then who else will he contain? The battle is getting worse and worse, and I don't know how long it will have to be delayed, if that's the case, the boss should kick himself again. Therefore, crawling out of the hot springs in Licheng, Wang Naohao was really "quiet as a dead dog, moving like a mad rabbit", and directly waved the army forward, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Jinan County where Zhang Xun was located, Dongping Tomb!

Now in Dongpingling, Zhang Xun still has at least 40,000 or 50,000 troops around him, and he besieges 40,000 or 50,000 with 20,000 people. ”

In the early morning of autumn, the bank of Jishui was foggy, and before Yan Liang reached the place where he crossed the river, he bumped into the Lejin Department of the 16th Division from Suga County. The battle between the two sides is about to break out, although Yan Liang's troops are more than three times that of Lejin, but they are all defeated soldiers who have retreated, and they have no intention of fighting. Although Lejin has fought all the way to now, the actual strength in his hands is less than two brigades, but they have won all the way, and they are looking forward to a victorious rendezvous with the "Northeast Marshal" who has been in Hebei!

At first, Lejin relied on the powerful bow and crossbow configuration of the Han Zheng army, and indeed blocked Yan Liang's way, but Yan Liang personally led the team to charge the Lejin defense line with his personal bravery. Moreover, driven by the persecution and survival instinct of the battle team, the defeated soldiers also burst out with a burst of blood, and followed Yan Liang to press towards the defense line of the 16th Division little by little, and approached the place where the river was crossed little by little.

Lejin's two hundred and five, the most afraid of fighting with others, as if no one would lead the team to charge, he also moved forward in person, counterattacking Yan Liang's army little by little, and fighting for the place to cross the river little by little.

Knowing that Lejin forcibly blocked Yan Liang from crossing the river, Wen Ping had to temporarily change his plan, march at full speed, and pursue, and at the same time ordered the Gaolan Department of Linji City to send a brigade to reinforce the battlefield.

However, at this time, the defenders of Liang Zou also crossed Jishui to the north, and their original intention was not to reinforce Yan Liang, but to reinforce Zou Ping on the order of Zhang Xun. But the Zouping defenders didn't know that reinforcements were coming again, they only saw Yan Liang running in front of Zouping like a man chasing the wind.

The Zouping defenders said in their hearts, Yan Liang has made the Han Zhengjun jump, if we are still stupid to stay in Zouping, we have to become a lonely city.

What's the matter, who is more stupid than whom, stay and wait for death?

Therefore, in the name of reinforcing Yan Liang, the Zouping defenders suddenly all left the city and rushed to the shore of Jishui to join this big melee.
