Water wars, throughout the ages, have not been played well.

The reason for this is that the command pressure is countless times greater.

Because it is the sailors who are responsible for advancing and retreating, and the armor soldiers who are responsible for engaging the enemy and fighting, but they are often not influenced by individual ability, but work together as a team, and it is a contest between ships.

And team fighting......

It has always been the poor of the Chinese people.

As the saying goes, one person is a dragon, and three adults are insects.

The speed of sailing, the distance of the enemy, the angle of attack and defense, the skill of maneuvering the boat, the current, the direction of the wind, and the correct amount of advance of the cannon shot are all the keys to determining the victory or defeat of the water, and the competition is the overall execution of the team.

This execution is reflected in the rhythm, whether the sailor's rocking oar, pedal, and sail control can be coordinated at any time, whether the artillery, crossbow, and defense are in order, and any link is chaotic, and the whole ship is chaotic.

At present, it is difficult for ordinary people to calmly and correctly command a ship to carry out a correct battle, most of them are roaring indiscriminately, not to mention in the ups and downs of the waves, shouting and killing the sky, waving the flag from afar, and commanding the fleet like an arm.

Famous generals are not born, and famous sailors are even rarer.

Counting forward, the most famous is Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms, a lupine scarf, talking and laughing, and the canopy is in ashes.

His military talent can be summed up in six idle words, "The song is wrong, Zhou Lang Gu", otherwise, how can he control the rhythm of the Chibi War?

Mu Yun's conducting, like the music conductor of later generations, is full of artistic sense and rhythm.

This was the exclamation of Qin Yue, who was watching the battle from the handsome ship.

As Mu Yun expected, after the defeat of the surrender, Han Chongyun's troops did not act again, but honestly waited in Wushan for three days, and waited for Song Jiuzhong's middle army to arrive, and then waved his army westward.

Song Jiuzhong's Imperial Dragon Straight Guards served as the vanguard, climbed the mountain in the dark, and ended up the two fortresses at the mouth of the gorge, although they did not do their best, so that the Huya soldiers ran a lot, but the iron cable array blocking the river was always broken, as long as the water and land Dazhai of the White Emperor City was eliminated, the soldiers could come to the city of Kuizhou.

The White Emperor City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult to land on the beach.

Facing the water on three sides, but only the east and west sides have gentle slopes to go ashore, and the east side is well defended, and under the cover of the stone wall, the gun array, the crossbow array, and the artillery array are defended in three sections, and it is difficult to attack.

Most of the defense in the west was completed by warships, which was the "empty door" deliberately left by Mu Yun when he set up the defense system.

The drums of war rumbled.

Mu Yun personally held the three-color order flag on the command platform of the third floor of the handsome ship, commanding the sailors to detour, interspersed, coming and going, although the sailors pedal and rocked the oars with all their might, but the speed of the ship, compared with the vast river, always gave people a feeling of slowness, Qin Yue looked at it inexplicably at first, and when he reacted, dozens of enemy ships had been cut and surrounded, and then fixed on the riverside and never moved.

Seeing Qin Yue's curiosity, Mu Yun said lightly: "The purpose of luring the enemy is these ships, our warships are few, so I used more brains underwater, and then lured the enemy ships to drill into this ambush, that area, the water is very shallow, ordinary people don't know, our army has already set up obstacles, anchors and guns, it's as simple as that." ”

Qin Yue was still worried, and pointed to the battle situation in the distance and said, "The enemy army has come to the rescue." ”

Mu Yun laughed: "As expected, look at the fire dragon array and the changes in the wind and clouds. ”

The flag was raised again, and the horn was blown tightly, and then it was found that Meng Chong was chaotic and dazzling, and nearly 100 red horses were rushing towards the enemy ships.

"These red horses are all sub-mother ships, the bow of the ship is nailed to the enemy ship, and the tail of the sub-ship can be separated."

With Mu Yun's introduction, there was a rumbling thunder on the river, and suddenly the fire was blazing and thick smoke was everywhere.

Qin Yue was speechless.

Gunpowder, he deliberately did not guide the research, not because he didn't know the power of gunpowder, but the wars he was fighting now were all civil wars, and he didn't want to use this powerful weapon on his compatriots.

He didn't want to invest in this big killing weapon before the Huya Army soul was really formed, because he felt that the roots and integrity of a soldier were much more important than weapons.

The real case of the defeat of aircraft artillery to Xiaomi rifles fully proves that the quality of the army is more important than weapons and equipment.

Therefore, he has Daomen resources, he has a rough formula, but he just doesn't need it, he hopes that in the future, the Huya Army will really be great, and then use gunpowder to smash the barbarian iron head......

However, Mu Yun quietly made an explosives ship.

Seeing that Qin Yue seemed to be shocked, Mu Yun explained: "The predecessors were wise, when the fire burned Chibi, there were a large number of things that ignited fire, and in the former Tang Dynasty, there were all kinds of things, although there were improvements, but it was not good, it could only scare the enemy, and it could not burn a few ships." ”

Sure enough, many small boats that ignited the fire were burned, but the enemy ships were still fine, but the smoke was billowing out, which was extremely scary, and the Song army had no intention of fighting and retreated one after another, but had to abandon the twelve building ships and more than thirty Meng Chong that were surrounded by the enemy.

The Song army was defeated twice.

This time, Huya captured a lot, but Mu Yun focused on the third line of defense.

"But it can't be repeated, today's skills are surprisingly successful, and the next battle will be difficult to fight, so in the next battle, let the Song army win, so that they will continue to march."

Well, in front of Mu Yun, Qin Yue didn't have the slightest right to speak.

In this battle, Song Jiuzhong also came to the front line and watched the battle in person, so after the army was defeated, he did not blame Wang Quanbin, nor did he reprimand Wang Xianqi and Han Chongyun, but was kind enough to appease.

"I'm a northerner, good at riding horses, clumsy at boating, I just opened my eyes today, it turns out that the water fight should be fought like this, although there is damage, but it's worth the trip, I want to come to Zhuqing and have a lot of gains, first go back to the cabin to freshen up a little, and then come back to discuss matters, ah, the third brother stays."

"Xie Guan's family."

……

When the generals retreated, Song Jiuzhong dispersed the attendants again, signaling Wang Xianqi to sit at will, and then sat down on the throne and stared at the imperial map in a daze.

These two water encounters made him vigilant, and he vaguely felt that this time he went on the expedition, as if he had chosen the wrong target.

Although the soldiers are strong and the warships are like clouds, it is one thing to drill and another thing to really go to war.

In that year, the Zhou army had enough of the incursion of the Southern Tang Dynasty water division, and Sejong could not find a suitable water division general.

It's a pity that he died of illness under the city of Chuzhou, and since then, there have been more and more warships of the Central Plains Naval Division, but the real water war, in that year, Xiang Gong (Xun) led his troops to return to the state road west into Kuizhou, and had a confrontation with the Shu army.

Wang Xianqi was the vanguard envoy at that time, however, his fleet was used as a troop transport, abandoned the boat to land, fought a bloody bridgehead, destroyed the Hengjiang chain bridge in a battle, and since then the warship has advanced westward until it reaches the city of Kuizhou.

"Third brother, according to what you said before, the defense of the Huya Army is not as good as the Shu army of the year, and the Hengjiang iron cable was successfully broken by our army, but I didn't expect that the crossing of the gorge was smooth, but it was so difficult to fight on this open river, and the Shu army was not deployed in the White Emperor City back then?"

Wang Xianqi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Back then, the White Emperor City also had defenses, but the heavy troops were at the mouth of the gorge, there were not only fortresses at both ends of the chain bridge, but also ambush soldiers, and the bridge was a wooden fence, crossbow showers and bow rain, it was difficult to break through, but God helped me, the rope bridge swayed and could not stop the momentum, and the danger was broken, and the defenders of the White Emperor City also withdrew, and then they successfully killed under Kuizhou City."

But please rest assured, the minister today to watch the battle, has thought about the enemy's method, the enemy warship is few, so more dazzling disturbance of the enemy, we will drop ten will, the defenders of the White Emperor City do not care, first chase the enemy sailors, the main building ship is pressed, and the official family is allocated to Meng Chong 50 ships, the minister is the vanguard, and the brave rush. If the enemy ships retreat, they can only chase after them, and they will die, but our rear army can take the opportunity to land on the western front, and the White Emperor City can go down in a battle. ”

Song Jiu was overjoyed, got up and pressed Wang Xianqi's shoulder, and praised: "The third brother has this determination, and he will do his best, okay, tomorrow, you will be the pioneer." ”

"Xie Guan's family."

"Hey, there are no outsiders, why should you and I be so polite, come on, let's discuss one or two more carefully......"
