Chapter 945: Thoughts are surging

Zang Ba's vigilance is on the east and west sides and on the river, before the Flying Tiger Army arrived, the advantage of the naval army was on the side of the Yangzhou army, although Liu Bei's main force was in Lujiang Jianye City at this time, and there was no too strong enemy army, but it would never be wrong to be prepared, once it was found that the Yangzhou army had a large-scale operation to cross the river, Zang Ba's first reaction would not be to strike, but to retreat, he would not be entangled with the enemy's superior forces by the river, and it would be the time for the Longxiang army to use weapons after it went deeper! As for the vigilance of his rear road, it is far inferior to that of other directions, not long after he sent out the troops, Xu Huang will have proper arrangements for this, and he has full confidence in this comrade Zang Ba in the army, not only ordinary soldiers will hand over their backs to trusted comrades, but also among generals.

If the Yangzhou army really hides a surprise army that the Yan army can't detect in the land of Xunan, their purpose should be to wait for the enemy to go deep before making a strike, Xu Huang Zangba's arrangement is not without the intention of counter-lure, the soldiers in front of them are always vigilant, once the enemy is coming, the two sides have their own clever cooperation can be used to attack the incoming enemy. In terms of the overall battle situation, Pang Tong controls the entire rhythm, but when it comes to the subtleties, it depends on these generals to give full play to their strengths.

The Longxiang army on the riverside is divided into two and stationed in the old water village of Liuhe and the construction of the Japanese slave camp, the two villages are separated by ten miles, once there is a change, the kung fu of half an hour can support each other, Ziyue chose this place in the place of eight miles downstream of the water village, here near the river bank of the reed sentient beings, there are more than zhang high, and the dense reeds have a natural hidden effect on the construction of the Japanese slave camp. And on both sides of Liuhe Water Village, Zang Ba ordered people to set up high platforms every hundred zhang for lookout, and it was not without the intention of announcing the location of the Yan army to the Yangzhou army, so as to avoid the other party from going ashore in a small boat to obtain military information.

In addition to the lookout and deterrence, such a high platform has no substantial threat to the warships of the rivers and mountains, but more of a symbol of the Yan army's occupation of this place, and when the opponent's warship is too close to the shore to explore, the Longxiang army's bombardment cannon is not only symbolic, the first few cannons are also to deter the other party, but it seems that the Yangzhou army is not afraid of this, there are a few small boats have come to the shore forty or fifty zhang away, which can be regarded as a provocation to the Yan army.

As one of the main trump cards of the Yan army, the morale of the Long Xiang soldiers is extremely high, how can they allow the enemy army to be so rampant in front of them, although there are not many soldiers of the equipment battalion that come with this trip, but the ones who can operate the Sky Bombardment Cannon are all special marksmen, if they let them accurately hit the enemy soldiers from a hundred steps away, I am afraid that it is difficult for some strong people, but the target of those ships is much larger! For the sake of the first launch, the ten Sky Bombardment cannons fired a salvo at the same target, but the time difference was so as not to interfere with each other! So the bombardment cannon, which had already shown great power between the siege and defense of the city, brought his prestige to the north bank of the Yangtze River, and five of the ten stone shells accurately concentrated the target, and two were also two feet around the opponent's warship, such an accurate instrument can definitely be called shocking in the late Han Dynasty! Missed two shots and hit five shots, this account is by no means miscalculated, five stone bullets are enough to sink the walker, and the next three shots are obviously saved.

Seeing that the enemy's warship was accurately hit by the bombardment cannon of the comrades, the hull burst and sank into the river, and the Yangzhou soldiers on it jumped into the water one after another, at this time it was still January, even the south was quite cold, such weather fell into the water, that feeling can be imagined! Immediately there was a burst of cheers on the north bank, and there were even golden drums beating to make a strong force, and the enemy dared to provoke in front of the Longxiang army, and they were bound to completely defeat it, and the scene in front of them made all the soldiers happy.

For the Yan soldiers, they saw an extremely wonderful long-range attack, and naturally they had to cheer for it, but standing in the position of the Yangzhou army, such an accurate long-range strike weapon made them tremble, this distance from the shore was carefully calculated, and the local arrows and even bed crossbows could not pose a threat to the warship, they may not dare to go ashore to engage the Yan army, and there was no such military order above, but it was their duty to get a little closer to find out the enemy's situation, but it was obvious that their intention had failed, The rest of the ships immediately turned around and left, for fear that they would become the next target of the Yan Army's bombardment cannon, and if it was not good, the ship would be destroyed and people would die.

For the combat power of the Yangzhou army, the Yan army does not know the depth, compared to the Cao army, the other party is much stranger, but this strangeness is also relative, if the soldiers on the bed at this time are replaced by the Cao army in Leping City or Hanzhong City, after seeing the Yan army's sky-bombarding cannons lined up, they will not be so close anyway, what is the difference between it and self-destruction? But obviously, the Yangzhou soldiers only have a vague impression of the power of the Yan army's equipment at most, and it is not difficult to explain that they fled in embarrassment when they were caught off guard. At this time, the Sky Bombardment Cannon of the Long Xiang Army did not attack again, since the purpose of Liwei had been achieved, they did not need to wipe out the opponent's naval army, and let them go back to communicate with each other, I am afraid that there will be no such situation again, which is also their own purpose.

The soldiers can watch this scene as a lively scene, cheering and cheering for the majesty of their comrades, but as a general, what Zang Ba wants to see is the doorway. Gao Shun's Liaodong Army has done infantry and artillery coordination training, how can Long Xiang's army not do this? At most, the scale should be slightly reduced compared to the comrades who were the pilots, and when practicing this tactic, the generals of the Long Xiang Army also realized the power of the cooperation between the two! And the scene in front of him told Xuan Gao that the equipment battalion also has a huge space to play on the river, and the Yangzhou military warships are walking, the volume and shape are much smaller, and the bombardment cannon can still hit accurately, and if you change to a more huge warship or building ship, wouldn't it become a live target for the equipment battalion?

The speed of the warship is not slow, but it is much slower than the movement on land, which is conducive to the aiming of the Xiangyang cannon of the equipment battalion, and the width of the river road can provide those shooters with a good attack perspective. If the Yangzhou army really wanted to land ashore and launch a counterattack, once the entire army of the equipment battalion was joined by the Suzaku battalion here, those stone bullets flying in the sky would definitely be able to deal a devastating blow to the opponent's fleet, and even lure the enemy into the depths could be avoided.

It seems that it is necessary to raise this matter in front of General Xu and let him report it to the top, and these experiences are undoubtedly extremely valuable for the improvement of the Yan army's combat strength and the enrichment of tactics. Due to the relationship of time, Zang Ba did not know all the wonderful performances of Yan Jun's sophisticated equipment in Leping Han at this time, but he would soon be able to know in the military intelligence briefing! There is another advantage to making the generals proficient in literature and ink, after every big battle, the main general who commands the battle must have a detailed report of the battle to King Yan, in addition to a detailed introduction to the battle process, but also to summarize the gains and losses, all of which will be written into the battle report and sent to the whole army after Liu Yi's selection! Good experiences can be learned and used flexibly by all, and some bloody lessons can also be remembered by not making the same mistakes again, which is a broader brainstorming that complements each other's strengths and weaknesses.

The enhancement of the strength of the Yan army in the two-year strategy was multifaceted, the improvement of the physical fitness of the soldiers, the enrichment of military theories, and the improvement of sophisticated equipment were all part of it, and another point was the improvement of the system. It seems that the outline of the exercise, the military intelligence report, and the summary of the battle seem to be a bit of a paper talk, but from this generals at all levels can learn a lot of effective methods and knowledge, and if they want to get these on the battlefield, they will have to pay the price of blood.

The summary of these lessons and lessons is their professional knowledge for the generals, and the more they have seen and learned, the more they will be able to broaden their thinking, and even if they are successful, there is no room for further improvement. Or some failed methods are not because of the failure of the method itself, but by the constraints of various conditions will produce such consequences, maybe the environment is slightly adjusted, the timing can be changed to have unexpected effects! When a general learns to think like this, he has grown a lot before he knows it.

As the deputy commander of the Long Xiang Army, Zang Ba obviously had more access to the materials circulating among the top echelons of the Yan Army, and as mentioned before, whenever he looked at these materials, that was when his mind was most active. The scene was indeed wonderful, but don't forget that at that time, ten cannons fired at an enemy warship, and it was impossible for the equipment battalion to have such an accuracy rate in actual combat, and in his opinion, stone bullets were not a good way to deal with warships.

The river will be accompanied by gusts of river wind, and all the warships are wooden structures, it is obvious that if you can use fire to attack will have an immediate effect, in the water battle bow and arrow first, the general rocket can never ignite the opponent's warship, the distance on the water will also make it extremely difficult to set fire! However, these can stump others but not the Yan army, the Sky Bombardment Cannon can not only throw large and small stone bullets, there is also a kind of ammunition that will definitely work wonders in water warfare - Thunderbolt Canister!

Zang Ba had seen the power of the Sky Cannon more than once, and after the improvement of the equipment, the adhesion and burning degree of the fire oil contained in it were improved, and with this premise, the Yan army could ignite the opponent's warship on the surface ......of the river. For a while, Zang Ba's thoughts were like a tide, and the surrounding soldiers saw General Zang standing in place without moving, with a thoughtful look on his face, but he seemed to be happy, of course they didn't know the general's heart surging at this time, and Zang Ba, who was in a trance, didn't expect that many of these things he was thinking about had been put into practice, and the Yan army could even use the Sky Bombardment Cannon when moving on the river, and the troops that could have this ability were unique among the Yan army, the Flying Tiger Army!
