Qin Army Water Army VS Eastern Wu Water Army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The first battle of the Battle of Chibi was about to break out.
Zhou Yu saw that the 400 warships of the Eastern Wu side were out of the village, but they did not advance, but leaned near the wall, and knew that Sima Yi had no intention of fighting head-on, but was still on the defensive.
The 'siege battle' on the water began.
Seeing that the number of warships in Dongwu had a certain advantage in the local area, Zhou Yu, the governor of the capital, did not launch a general attack on the Shuizhai of Eastern Wu as soon as he came up, so he sent Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao, each with a hundred warships, to support Ganning.
It is believed that with the presence of Gan Ning's battleship Luoyang, it will be able to gain an advantage.
Gan Ning, as a forward commander, developed his own tactics.
"The ships are lined up and use the superior range of our army's trebuchets to strike at the enemy. If the enemy spreads out of formation, rush straight over and destroy the enemy with ballistas. β
He was going to start the attack with long-range strikes.
The current Gan Ning is the company commander who executes the offensive order in later generations, and Cheng Pu and others are his platoon commanders, and they meticulously begin to implement Gan Ning's orders.
However, it has not yet entered the range of the Qin army's trebuchet. In the Dongwu Water Village, on the soil mountain, a large number of 'meteorites' flew over.
"What?" Gan Ning was taken aback.
He had seen the trebuchets on the inner soil mountain of the Soochow Water Village, but he did not think that it had a range comparable to his own, which came from the inertial thinking that his side had a 'weapon technology advantage'.
However, Gan Ning made a mistake in judgment, and it was obvious that the enemy's trebuchet had a farther range than the Qin army's.
He took a closer look, "It's not good, these trebuchets are Liu Beijun's standard!" β
In fact, the gravity trebuchet carried on the Qin army's ship is small and medium-sized, and it does not have a long range of heavy gravity trebuchet. The Eastern Wu side had the height of the earth mountain, and although the gravity trebuchet they used was not as advanced as the Qin army, they had an advantage at the moment.
At this time, the warships of the Soochow Navy docked in front of the water village showed no signs of moving.
The Qin army's navy began to suffer from the 'artillery fire' of the Eastern Wu trebuchet and began to take the blows.
At first, the blows were relatively sporadic but as they approached, the 'artillery fire' of Soochow intensified. At the same time, the Soochow warships began to sortie.
"Throw the fire oil bag!" LΓΌmont's fleet was the first to strike.
Soochow's fleet 'artillery fire' and land-based 'artillery fire' were combined, and the firepower was doubled.
For a time, the water was dark, and the stones in the sky obscured the sky.
Rear.
Qin Feng stood up suddenly, walked to the bow of the ship and took a closer look, "It's not good...... β
At this moment, the fleet of the Qin army was completely under the enemy's endless artillery fire and was advancing, and suffered heavy losses. There was already thick smoke billowing on the river, all from the burning of the Qin warships, and the cries were endless.
Qin Feng didn't expect it to be so one-sided at all, this was because the firepower of the enemy's trebuchet was too strong.
Visually inspecting the area of engagement alone, the enemy has more than 200 trebuchets.
It's like launching an attack with 200 guns, who can afford this?
Zhou Yu was also shocked, and hurriedly ordered Gan Ning to retreat.
By the time Gan Ning withdrew, he had already lost more than 200 warships, and he had not been able to really get close to the enemy's water village.
Immediately after, the cheers of the Eastern Wu Army came.
Sima Yi smiled, "Qin Zijin wants to break through my water village, wishful thinking. This trebuchet made by Zhuge Kongming is really a good thing. β
Zhou Yu was unwilling to fail, and as soon as the flag was waved, a hundred clippers appeared in the Qin fleet, and they went straight to the Dongwu Water Village.
Sima Yi saw it really on Tushan, and smiled, "This is a fire boat sent by Zhou Yu, and I will order all departments to prepare for fire prevention." β
Less.
Thundered~.
Most of these small fireships evaded the attack of the trebuchet and crashed into the wall of the Dongwu Water Village.
Qin Jun and everyone took a closer look.
It was found that although these walls were impacted, they were heavy and did not move at all. And, there was no fire.
Later, a large number of Eastern Wu soldiers appeared behind the wall, and they used the 'water dragon' to draw water on the spot to extinguish the fire.
In the blink of an eye, the fireship of the Qin army was extinguished.
Sima Yi laughed and said to everyone: "Our wall, the fence is not a wooden pole, but made of fine iron, and it goes deep into the bottom of the river, and the enemy can't hit it. Qin Zijin must have been taken aback. β
When everyone saw that the offensive of the Qin army was invisibly defused by Sima Yi, they all admired it and said: "The metropolitan governor is far-sighted and takes precautions, so that the Qin army will be useless." β
Qin Jun side.
"The fence of Dongwu Water Village is metal!" Qin Feng was really taken aback, and then he remembered that the wall of the enemy water village was shining, and at first he thought it was water, but he didn't expect it to be metal.
"The enemy is heavily guarded......." Zhou Yu frowned.
Pang Tong saw that it was difficult to form an advantage in the local area, so he said: "King, whether to launch a general attack." β
Qin Feng went to see Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu hesitated, but still launched the order for a general attack.
Suddenly, the sound of trumpets and drums shook the sky.
The Qin army made a big noise, except for Qin Feng's flagship, the rest of the thousand warships came out together, gradually spread to the waters of Wuli, and pounced on the Dongwu Water Village.
Soochow side.
Kan Ze, Xue Zong and others were really frightened when they saw that the Qin army had launched a general attack.
However, Sima Yi was quite disdainful and said: "This is a general attack, and it is also a temptation. In this case, give the enemy some colors to see, so that the enemy knows the strength of our army's water village, and they will not dare to attack again. β
So, under the order of Sima Yi, the Eastern Wu naval army went out, but did not go far, but in front of the wall, relying on their own trebuchet firepower.
The 'artillery' of the Eastern Wu was in full swing, and in the sky along the Shuizhai line, huge boulders danced wildly, and the flints swept across the sky with their tails of thick smoke and smashed towards the Qin warships.
Compared with the losses suffered by the Qin fleet, the Eastern Wu fleet began to throw stones and arrows when they came out of a certain distance. For a time, the artillery fire in the sky was divided into two layers, the upper layer was the "artillery fire" of the heavy trebuchets, and the lower layer was the "artillery fire" of the fleet.
The Eastern Wu army cooperated inside and outside, and the Qin fleet suffered heavy losses.
Qin Jun side.
The banner soldier shouted: "General Gan Ning is in a hurry, ask for a retreat!" β
For a time, it was a request for the ministries to retreat.
Zhou Yu ordered a retreat, and no one on the flagship made a sound. In the distance was the smoking retreating fleet of the Qin army, and in the distance, the cheers of the Eastern Wu naval army were heard.
Zhou Yu organized his words and bowed: "King, the enemy's water village is heavily guarded, which comes from the enemy's trebuchet range above our army. The number of trebuchets far exceeds the number of warships of our army. Our army needs to withstand two layers of enemy blows, and even after breaking through, it will have to fight with the enemy fleet and continue to suffer from enemy trebuchets.
"If there are fewer warships, the enemy's fleet will form a local advantage in front of the water wall, and if there are more ships, it will become dense, and it will have to withstand the enemy's long-range crazy attack. This time, no less than 300 ships were lost. β
Qin Feng also saw that the situation at that time was very serious, so he asked, "Gong Jin, if it is a strong attack, what are the odds of victory?" β
Zhou Yu lowered his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not as good as Yicheng." β
"Less than one percent!" Qin Feng frowned, this was actually the same as not being able to win. He couldn't help but say: "Sima Yi is good at guarding and deserves his reputation. β
