Chapter 374: Superb technology
(.. Money man. This place is not far from the quarrying alum, the two of them led the troops to hurry to the left-behind Ge Congzhou, and thought that Guogong would be defeated so quickly when he advanced eastward, and when he heard Xu Wen's words, General Ge Congzhou also became cautious, and hurriedly sailed out all the warships captured in the Wu army's water village, and laid them out along the Yangtze River
If they could take the initiative to attack, the battle situation would never be the same situation as today, but unfortunately they had already been afraid of the prestige of the Tang army, and they also got the order of Yang Xingmi, fortified the wall, cleared the wilderness, and stuck to the danger and never took the initiative to fight, so that the fighter plane was lost, and now it is used by the Tang army
Not long away, the sails were covered by clouds, and sure enough, there was a naval army with full sails, and the sails were mighty, and the Tang troops on both sides of the strait, which had already been prepared, immediately entered a state of battle, stretched out their bows and arrows, and waited for dozens of small boats on the water, which were piled with firewood and grass, and dropped their sails, just waiting for the enemy ships to light a fire as soon as they arrived, and burn the enemy ships downstream, although the rest were not good at using ships, nor were they good at water warfare, but under the cover of the archers on both sides, they also tried to concentrate the warships as much as possible, and they were ready to swear to block the enemy's bridge
The person who came was really the Moling Pass guard, Yuan attacked, Yuan attacked Liu Wei to lead the foot soldiers to help, and he also personally led the water division to abandon the Moling Pass, and set out the target is this pontoon bridge that made the quarrying alum water army fall in Dazhai, this pontoon bridge is too important, as long as the pontoon bridge is in the Tang Army, it can advance and retreat, it can send countless troops across the Yangtze River in a steady stream, and it can transport countless grains and grass across the river, so that the Tang Army can move forward bravely without worries, so it must be destroyed, no matter how much it costs
However, when he arrived in a hurry, the arrows on both sides of the strait were like rain, and there were dozens of small boats gushing with tongues of fire on the surface, and the Tang army had already gathered momentum, and the sneak attack battle turned into a positional battle
For a time, the banner was displayed, the trumpet cannon was in the sky, Liu Wei's department had the Yangtze River in the west, Cihu Lake in the east, Duan Mingyu cut off his retreat, and began to close the door and beat the dogs, according to his heart, Liu Wei was indeed a general, but if the brave Wu army was by no means comparable to the Tang army, coupled with the disparity in strength, as soon as he got into the encirclement, his men and horses immediately fell into a bitter battle, and were slaughtered by the Tang army one-sidedly
Liu Wei did not break through immediately, although with the ferocity of the Tang army, even if he broke through immediately, he might not succeed, but he did not even make such an attempt, because he wanted to buy time for Yuan Xian's soldiers and horses all the way, even if the whole army was wiped out for this, as long as the commander Yuan Xian could destroy the Tang people's pontoon bridge, it would be worth it
As soon as the pontoon bridge was destroyed, the Tang people wanted to collect the necessary materials and rebuild the bridge, and it would take a few days of precious time, as long as the Wu army seized the fighters and concentrated all the men and horses to fight a beautiful annihilation battle, they could wipe out this invading force
And this plan, they didn't even have time to report that Yangzhou was decisively attacking the pontoon bridge in a decisive battle, it was Yuan Raid's personal plan, their mission was just to destroy the pontoon bridge like a moth to a fire, and their mission was completed, as for whether Yang Xingmi, the king of Wu, could seize this rare fighter plane, and the civil and military officials of Wu State could judge, maybe they would give up this rare opportunity, still cowering in the city, and waiting passively, but that was no longer something he could cāo in his heart, he was a Wu man, a Wu general, he did his duty, and there was no regret in his death
Liu Wei, who was determined to die in the national disaster, regarded himself as a bait, and was not surprised when he saw that he was surrounded by the main force of the Tang army, and he commanded the headquarters to move towards Duan Mingyu, who was slightly less numerous, while resisting, making a gesture of trying to break through, and tightly pulled the main force of the Tang army, and bought precious time for the commander Yuan Xian
Before Yuan's battleships could reach the pontoon, they were confronted by a stormy baptism, each of which was densely packed with arrows, and before they could fight, they broke a chéngrén horse, and then dozens of fireboats blocked the river, and rushed towards his group of warships with impunity
"The Tang Army has long been prepared"
Yuan Xi was taken aback, and then the exclamation of the soldiers came from the lookout tower high on the mast: "It has been found that a large force of Tang troops has been found west of Cihu, and General Liu Wei has been encircled."
Yuan Xian's face changed, surprise attack, surprise attack, surprise attack, his unpreparedness is called surprise attack, I didn't expect this plan to attack the east and the west so easily, Tang Jun saw through it so easily, looking at this posture, Tang Jun had already expected his arrival, would he still be able to succeed
Yuan Jiedu, who was full of hope that he would make an immortal miracle with a strange army, fell into deep remorse... When the Tang people, who were driving the captured Wu army giant ship after seeing the fireboat, approached him amid the thunderous drums of war, General Yuan made a decisive decision: "Withdraw"
A single arrow did not send a shot, and the Pao Ze brothers, who were used to water warfare, crisscrossed the river, and General Yuan, who was accustomed to water warfare, changed the front team to the rear team, and the rear team became the front team, showing in front of the Tang army with great speed how well-trained and skilled his navy was, and before the two armies fought, they fled every day
Xu Wen and Xu Jing stubbornly commanded those soldiers of the Shence Army who had been trained in a hurry and knew a little about the art of the cāo boat, half of them slowly approached the enemy with the help of the natural flow of the Yangtze River water, and because of the slow speed of the boat, the soldiers who had nowhere to do it had to use their strength on the war drums, beating the huge war drums loudly, and then they saw the enemy in front of them, and showed a beautiful hand of turning on the spot with the extremely jīng Zhan's cāo boat technique, and then fled so fast that they couldn't catch up if they wanted to
Such an army can not be defeated
Xu Wen sighed to himself, he now understands how wishful thinking it is for Yangzhou to try to secede, and under the fan of Duan Mingyu's little butterfly, the world has changed a lot... These changes are enough to affect many major events in history, but there are some things that are not the military strength, political situation, rule of officials, and people that he can change now......
The Tang army has accumulated disadvantages for many years, and then put on an emperor who only knows how to chant the wind and make the moon, but Duan Mingyu's army is very powerful, the emperor is very ridiculous, but no matter what the war just makes up for this shortcoming, in front of the Tang army, they have no resistance at all, even if a general like Xu Wen is still on the side of Wu State, it is just a little more delay, let Wu Guo survive a few more times, even if no one can afford to support Li Yu, who is not even as good as Adou, the immortals are powerless, but the Tang Dynasty has an army, a strong army, Duan Mingyu has a good general, they have no chance
