"This is the warship artillery method?"

"Why didn't Xiao Duhou write such a powerful and terrifying tactic into the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which was the crystallization of his life's art of war, and it has been passed down through the ages?"

Don't say that Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, can't understand the little dusk.

The other princes and kings were all confused, and they didn't understand why there was such a big gap between the art of war written by the Marquis of Xiao Duan and the actual combat he fought.

How wonderful this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is!

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, the three major heroes, assisted by a large group of famous generals and military advisors, were full of stars and intrigues.

Zhuge Liang casually used a trick, which was amazing and admirable. Zhou Yu, Guo Jia, which one is not a talent in the world!

But as for Xiao Duhou himself, he will use brute force when he fights, and this gunboat battle method is too rude and barbaric.

Do you have famous generals and military advisors under Xiao Duhou?

No!

He has no famous generals under him.

Only a group of Danyang soldiers ~ gunpowder gunners, artillerymen!

They are like a group of butchers on a rampage on the battlefield, which reflects the superb level of the commander of the army and the ingenuity of the military division.

The little dusk marquis relied on a group of small soldiers to fight.

"Yes, this ship artillery battle is brute force! This little dusk marquis didn't need to scheming at all, he was completely using brute force.

Blind to the strange book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by him, when there is a war, the things in it are useless! ”

Xiang Wu, the king of Chu, took out "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and found that he had been fooled, so he threw the book on the ground with itchy teeth, stomped on it a few times, and was so angry that he just wanted to vomit blood.

This great river water war.

Xiao Duhou didn't use any tactics or tactics, what grass boat borrowed arrows, burned the company's army, Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai... I didn't see any clever scheme.

I saw that Xiao Duhou sent fifty gunboats to bombard all the way on the river, all the way to bombardment.... bombarded all the way to the water village and sank all the boats in the water village.

Even Xiang Ci, the king of Lujiang, who is proficient in water warfare, has not used up his ability to fight water, and he was defeated and returned by the brute force of Xiao Duhou, and fainted in anger in the Wujiang camp, probably too ashamed, faceless, and refused to wake up.

The art of war?

A clever tactic to lure the enemy?

Bah~!

Nothing.

Xiang Ci, the king of Lujiang, can't do it, let alone their other princes. They would certainly not be able to defeat the fleet of the Little Dusk Marquis on the water.

"Kings, our ships are running out, what a good thing it is! Who can still play? ”

Jinan Wang Xiang Biguang was a little anxious.

"Alas, it's hard! These fifty large warships, five or six hundred cannons. A round of artillery bombardment came down, like rain, and no one could get close to them, how could this be fought? ”

Zhao Wangxiang shook his head.

"How's that good?"

"Alas!"

The princes consulted, but they were helpless.

On the river, it is inevitable that it will not be able to win.

But fortunately, the only thing to be thankful for is that even if the hundreds of warships of these princes and kings were all defeated and tens of thousands of sailors were lost, they were third-level fundamental.

At most, the alliance of princes could not go down the river.

The main force of the 500,000-strong army of the princes' coalition army was still intact, encamped in the Wujiang camp, and tightly defended the long front of sixty or seventy miles.

The Wujiang camp was five miles away from the river, and the naval artillery did not seem to be able to attack this distance.

The 100,000 or so imperial army in the hands of the Marquis of Xiao Duan still did not dare to cross the river to the north.

Because once the imperial army crosses the river, the imperial army cannot quickly break through the camp of the Wujiang camp, then they will be blocked on this narrow five-mile-wide riverbank, and it will be difficult to establish a strong camp.

It is quite difficult to move forward, and it is quite difficult to go back and get on the ship.

The end is likely to be driven into the river, leading to a crushing defeat of the imperial army - such a consequence is obviously unbearable for the little dusk marquis.

Once the 100,000 elite main army is lost, the Great Chu Imperial Court will definitely not be able to gather a new elite army within a year and a half.

After a year's delay, half of the Jiangbei fell into the hands of the coalition of the princes of the Ten Routes, and the money, grain, taxes, and soldiers were all controlled by the princes, and it became more and more difficult to recover.

The emperor and the Manchu ministers were afraid that they would kill him to vent their anger.

"Our fleet is lost, it seems that we can only defend Jiangbei! An army of 500,000 set up a stubborn defensive offensive in Jiangbei, and Xiao Duhou was sure to be difficult to break. ”

Chu King Xiang Wu said in a deep voice.

"Now it's the only way to go!"

"Immediately order to go down, and the coalition army will make every effort to strengthen their camps, dig ditches, and hurry up to control the horses and trebuchets!"

"I can see it, although Xiao Duhou boasted in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that he knew all kinds of tricks and tactics, he didn't need to plan at all, and he was best at using brute force.... We can only use brute force against him! Stratagem, the art of war, tactics and anything else are not used at all. It's better to dig more pits and build more fortifications! ”

The princes such as the King of Zhao and the King of Jinan all agreed.

They no longer bothered with the destroyed camp of the water village, and immediately ordered the princes on the shore to join forces with each battalion and began to build fortifications desperately.

A large number of trees were cut down in the north of the river, and the wooden walls were frantically reinforced, and horses were piled up, trebuchets, and arrow towers.

No matter what tricks the little dusk marquis used, they have built these defensive things, and it will always be difficult to attack them.

...

Next, for several days.

After Chu Tianxiu finished this battle, he went directly back to Danyang City and continued to organize blacksmiths to make artillery and powder guns.

Zhou Lu took his 50 gunboats and all the officers and men of the navy to show off their might on the river, one or two hundred miles upstream, one or two hundred miles downstream, as long as they saw ships on the north bank of the river, they bombarded it with a few shells, and sank it.

Soon, no more ships of any size were seen on the other side.

Even if the ship is towed ashore and placed on the shore, it will be shelled.

Although the alliance of princes and troops numbered 500,000, they were not allowed to go down the river. No, the range of the artillery is long and powerful, the range of the bow and arrow is too close, and the range of the trebuchet on the shore is not enough, so it can't hit him at all.

This is an unprecedented record!

He had never been so happy in his life, beating the enemy so much that he couldn't raise his head, and he didn't even have a chance to fight back.

After completely clearing the ships in Jiangbei, the imperial navy has completely occupied control of the water surface of the river.

Only the imperial fleet could go down the river, and the princes no longer had any available ships to go down the river.

Five days later.

Zhou Lu went to Danyang City and reported the results of the battle to the Marquis of Xiaodu.

"My lord, the last general has completed the task of clearing the ships in Jiangbei. The princes of Jiangbei did not dare to go down the river. ”

Zhou Lu said respectfully.

"Hmm!"

Chu Tianxiu nodded slightly, not paying much attention.

Looking at a pair on the table, the defense map of the Wujiang camp on the other side of the river. This map is marked in great detail, and the distances of the many large camps are clear.

"My lord, how are we going to fight next?"

"Next, it's to cross the river and go north! This is an uphill battle! ”
