Back in the tent, the husband did not speak for a long time, and knelt down on the cushion of the main seat. After a long time, the husband sent him to ask Wang Sunyu, "Is there any news from Bo Ya?" ”

Wang Sunluo knew the mind of the husband, the husband was not dead yet, he hoped that Bo Yao could make meritorious contributions there, so that he could wash away the shame he said today.

"Dazai Boyao has just received news that the attack in three directions has failed, and about 200 soldiers have been lost!" Wang Sunluo hesitated for a while and spoke.

When the husband heard this, his face immediately became even more gloomy, and he suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Wang Sunyu, "How much did you lose this time?" ”

Wang Sun Yu responded: "Back to the king's words, this time ...... This time......"

"Don't do it this time, the widow won't go crazy when he hears the news!" The husband said dissatisfiedly.

"Yes!" Wang Sunluo didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately said: "Two thousand five hundred soldiers were killed in battle, and another five hundred wounded soldiers came back by boat, but it is estimated that after tonight, at most about four hundred people will survive." In terms of troop carriers, thirty-two troop carriers were converted, and if the main lord wanted to attack, he would either mobilize the Taihu Boat Division, or cut wood from Li Li and transport it over to make troop carriers! ”

"Damn!" When the husband heard this, Huo Ran stood up and roared angrily. At the same time, he kicked the low table in front of him, "Bang! With a loud bang, the low table rolled in the air a few times, fell to the ground, and broke in two!

The husband was so painful that the golden rooster was reading and jumping on the ground. He scolded with hatred: "Who made this low table!" Oops, it's a dead man! And the quality is still so inferior, someone pulled the craftsman who made it down and killed it! ”

"No!" One of the soldiers answered and immediately withdrew.

It didn't take long for a mournful sound to be heard outside the tent. "Wronged! King! The villain is wronged! When the villain builds the wooden table, he can ......"

But before the words were finished, there was no sound, and it was obvious that the head had fallen to the ground.

"That's it! It's a lot more comfortable now! If such a stubborn craftsman is not killed, I don't know how many people will be deceived in the future! The husband said indifferently, but he didn't know that his head had fallen to the ground with a soft word.

When Wang Sunluo heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, but he said too much, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and this is not without evidence.

............, "Lord, today is the tenth day, and the Wu army has not moved, is the Lord sending some soldiers back?" Now there are 8,000 troops, as well as those in China and Xia Hu's roar, there are more than 11,000 troops, and the pressure on Cangli is very great. "Ayapin, who came with the baggage camp, complained bitterly when he saw Yang Zilu.

Yang Zilu shook his head firmly, he was not confused by Wu Jun's apparent calmness. "Ayato, have you ever encountered a storm at sea?"

"Nope! Before coming to Dong'an City, the minister only listened to what others said about how the sea was like. And when I arrived in Dong'an, I had never seen the sea, but the affairs were heavy, and I hadn't been to the sea yet! Ayato said with a blank expression.

When Yang Zilu heard this, he scolded with a smile: "What kind of affairs are heavy, isn't this boasting about yourself!" Okay, if you solve the attack of Wu Guo this time, the widow will make a good treatment of officials, so that you have time to have a good time. ”

"And what does the Lord mean by the storm he just spoke?" Ayato asked curiously.

"Before the storm, the sea was very calm, do you understand why Wu Jun is now?" Yang Zilu said.

Ayato said thoughtfully: "The Lord means that Wu Jun's action this time is actually the calm before the storm, and it won't be long before there will be a violent storm in the face!" ”

"Hmm!" Yang Zilu nodded, and replied with a look of praise on her face.

As soon as Yang Zilu's words fell, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Hou Xiong walked in with a solemn face, looked at Yang Zilu, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, Wu Jun's boat master is here!" ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he immediately frowned, Huo Ran stood up and said, "It seems that the storm is coming, go!" Go to the dirt mountain and see what the situation is! ”

"No!" Ayapin and Hou Xiong responded in unison, unlike Ayapin, Hou Xiong was full of doubts, why did Yang Zilu say that the storm was coming? It was rainy the other day, but it was just a spring drizzle, so where was the storm?

Yang Zilu ignored Hou Xiong's doubts, and under the escort of a group of soldiers, he strode towards Tushan.

When Yang Zilu came to the top of Tushan Mountain, Wu Jun's boat division had already docked on the shore. Yang Zilu swept over at a glance and saw that the north shore of Zhejiang was full of white sails, which was quite spectacular and gave people endless illusions.

Kan Pingtian didn't know when he came over, and said to Yang Zilu in a deep voice: "Lord, the minister has already asked people to complete the count, this time the Wu army came to the boat division with thirty big wing class warships, including twelve sudden (assault warships), seventeen bridge ships (mostly used to transport military vehicles), one building ship (the commander's warship), and seventy medium-wing class warships, probably the sea is stormy, but only brought ten small wing-class warships, a total of one hundred and ten, plus the Wu army's original troop carriers, There are a total of 174 ships, but most of them are mid-wing and winglet-class! ”

Yang Zilu nodded when he heard this, and at the same time he also understood the professional terminology in Kan Pingtian's mouth, the big wing class is a warship with a length of ten zhang (about twenty meters) and a width of one zhang and three feet four inches (about two meters seven) and above, and at the same time, a big wing class warship usually has fifty sailors. Note that it is a sailor, not a sailor. At the same time, the number of people carried is also quite large, and it can carry more than 150 people at most.

In particular, the bridge boat could carry four military vehicles and infantry attached to the military vehicles at the same time, and each military vehicle had thirty infantry in addition to the chariots, according to the establishment of the state of Wu.

The mid-wing and winglet classes were smaller ships and were the common classification in the world at the time.

As soon as Yang Zilu heard about the sudden attack of Wu Junzhou's division and the distribution rate of the bridge boats, he knew that the husband sent the boat division to use it mainly to transport soldiers to the south coast, but why did he transfer so many sudden attacks? Twelve of them? Isn't it a bit much? It can even be said that there is no need to adjust the sudden attack, because the Han army does not have a single warship.

"Huh!? Lord, what are they doing in Wu Jun? It seems to be attached to the bow of the ship or something! Yang Zilu hadn't come up with a willingness yet, after all, Ayapin, who had good eyesight, pointed to the Wu army battleship in the distance, and lost his voice, interrupting Yang Zilu's train of thought.

When Yang Zilu heard this, he immediately looked over, but although Yang Zilu's eyesight was not bad, it was not too good, and the distance was not close, so he didn't see it clearly.

On the contrary, Kan Pingtian saw clearly what Wu Jun was going to do, and immediately his face changed slightly, and he said: "Lord, Wu Jun is imitating our trebuchet, and now it is a trebuchet erected on the bow of the ship!" ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he was stunned, his face was shocked, but he immediately calmed down and asked Kan Pingtian in a deep voice: "How is it?" Boss, tell the widow in detail! ”

Kan Pingtian didn't just say, but also found a branch and drew it on the ground, Yang Zilu took a closer look and couldn't help but smile: "Don't be afraid!" Don't be afraid! Wu Jun is just a Dong Shi imitation! ”

"Dong Shi Xiaofeng? No way? Lord, the minister looks at Wu Jun's production as if it is similar to our trebuchet! Ayato also helped out.

On the contrary, it was Hou Xiong, who seemed to have an understanding, and said: "Lord, is there any mystery in this!" ”

"Tomorrow the war will start, and you will know!" Yang Zilu said with a smile.

"Why doesn't the Lord say it now? By the way, why is the Lord so calm that the Wu army will start the war tomorrow? Looking at the speed of Wu Jun's craftsmen now, the minister can finish it at noon, and at most it will be delayed until the afternoon! It's completely enough for the Wu army to launch an attack! Ayato asked suspiciously.

Yang Zilu smiled: "You said that if you are a husband, do you want to capture the widow alive?" ”

Ayaren smiled awkwardly when she heard this, because when she said this, she was inevitably suspected of scolding Huai.

Kan Pingtian didn't have any worries, and said: "The husband hates the Lord now! Coupled with the soldiers killed and wounded by Manggao, Wu Jun lost nearly 3,000 people! The husband said that you hate the Lord to the core, and I am afraid that you have the heart to peel off the skin and bones! ”

Kan Pingtian was smart and didn't say that he was a husband.

Yang Zilu ignored Kan Pingtian's little caution, and said with a smile: "What he said is not wrong, in this way, if the husband attacks at noon or even in the afternoon, will it cause the war to be delayed until the evening?" ”

When Yang Zilu said this, everyone understood, and Ayato suddenly realized: "The meaning of the lord, the minister understands, at night, under the cover of night, the lord is afraid that it will be easy for the lord to escape, and the husband naturally does not want such a thing to happen!" ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he nodded and said, "So the widow thinks that Fucha will definitely attack tomorrow!" ”

Things are also as Yang Zilu said, although Wu Junzhou's division has been equipped with trebuchets at noon, it has not launched an attack. Although Fucha asked himself that he had a trebuchet to suppress Tushan, there was no problem with Qiangdu this time, but because he was afraid that Yang Zilu would escape, Fucha did not rush to launch an attack to save his face. No! Maybe in the husband's heart, only by capturing Yang Zilu alive can he save his face.

The next day, both sides seemed to have a tacit understanding on the fourth watch day to start cooking, the fifth watch began to eat, and the fifth watch day passed just after eating. It was about five o'clock. It is the darkest time of heaven and earth, the moon disappears, and the sun has not yet appeared. About half an hour later, the sky began to shine, and white mist emerged on both sides of Zhejiang, making people have a sense of reality and illusion in front of them.

However, everything was chaotic by a slow but firm drumming sound, and the Wu army on the opposite side could faintly hear the sound of a tickle, and the soldiers began to pick up their equipment and walk onto the warship, and the junior generals nervously checked the equipment of their men, because the nervousness before the battle could easily make them forget to bring their weapons, which was undoubtedly fatal on the battlefield. It's okay to say that if you die in your own negligence, you will really be a little more wronged than Dou E.

It didn't take long for the Han army to sound the beating of drums, but the Han army was obviously much better prepared than the Wu army. Trebuchets and ballistaets have built wooden and earthen walls for cover. The soldiers, though nervous, arranged and shaped in an orderly manner.

A loud horn sounded on the north bank, and the warships of the Wu army immediately hoisted their sails and attacked the south bank in response to the morning light that had just broken through the fog.

There were several doctors standing beside Yang Zilu, Hou Xiong, Ayapin, Xia Huyao, and Zheng Jiao Shuyan, the former hoplite who replaced Mang Gao's temporary position as the captain of the pro-military battalion. As for the other doctors, they have already gone to other places to command their soldiers and horses, and they are nervously preparing for war.

This time, Wu Junxue was smart, and he didn't stupidly let the troop carrier launch a forced crossing. Instead, let the Raiders attack first. The Raid is an unusual troop carrier, it is a combat ship, and it is also a warship that mainly attacks by ramming. Therefore, the whole body is very hard, and there are battlements on the warship, and the battlements are also covered with cooked cowhide. It's like a small fortress that moves.

Yang Zilu couldn't help but be quite envious, yes! If there was such a warship, he would not have to play any intrigues and tricks against the Sanyi tribe in Oujiang, and he would have to take risks.

But it was not the Wu army that attacked first, but the Han army, and the trebuchet threw the boulder high, and a huge column of water immediately rose from the water. The warships of the Wu army did not take it seriously and continued to attack. The troop carriers also took advantage of the firepower of the battleship to increase their speed and began to force the crossing.

Yang Zilu ordered some trebuchets and ballistas to attack the troop carriers. And at this time, the trebuchet, which had been given high hopes by the Wu army, also attacked. However, the effect was that all the soldiers of the Han army couldn't help but smack their tongues, not because the trebuchets of the Wu army were too powerful, but because they were too weak, and the range was only about eighty steps!

This makes many of them not quite understand, why is the same trebuchet with such a big gap? Don't say that he doesn't understand, even the husband is depressed, his trebuchet almost copied Yang Zilu's coming, but the range is only eighty steps. But fortunately, this can also hit the dirt mountain, which can threaten the Han army.

Of course, in the Han army, they are more dominant, the distance is closer, and their accuracy is also greater. The only advantage that the Wu army has is probably that their battlefield has a strong mobility, and they can throw stones while walking, but it still can't make up for their weakness.

In fact, this is very simple, because Wu Jun's trebuchet is not a counterweight type like Yang Zilu, but a bullet surname that completely relies on manpower and the trebuchet boom. In other words, Wu Jun's trebuchet is a scaffold, plus a boom tied with several bamboos, and the stones are placed when projecting, and the end of the boom is tied with a rope. There was also a rope at the other end, but it was pulled by fifty soldiers, and the boom was pulled into an 'N' shape, and one soldier used an axe to split the end of the rope that bound the stone boom.

In this way, the boom naturally swings and projectes the stones, but this is entirely dependent on the boom's bullet name and the strength of the soldiers. Yang Zilu's is different, similar to the trebuchet in the game "Age of Empires 2", with a holster for stone bullets tied to one end of the boom, and a very heavy boulder at the other end.

Through the noose and gear, tilt the boom at the end of the holster towards the ground. Then by loosening the restraint of the noose and gear, relying on the gravity of the boulder placed on the boom, the stone bullet was thrown out fiercely. Not only is the number of people used small, but also because the strength is uniform, the accurate surname is very large.

Unlike Wu Jun's, which completely relies on manpower, the strength of each person's pull cannot be guaranteed to be as great as before, let alone fifty people pulling, which is equivalent to fifty errors. At this time, Hou Xiong and Kan Pingtian understood why Yang Zilu was so fearless yesterday.

But the strength of the Wu army was in front of them, although Yang Zilu's trebuchets and ballistas had the upper hand, but after sinking three big wing-class battleships and seven troop carriers, the Wu army also landed.

This time there were obviously more troops than last time, and this time it was not only the infantry, but also the troop vehicles transported by seventeen bridge ships, plus the troop wagons transported by the other two troop carriers, a total of seventy times. However, the troop chariots are no better than the soldiers, and they have to be tested, and the large planks are lowered to form a slope before these troop chariots are allowed to come down.

During this time, the longbowmen and crossbowmen on the earth mountain poured arrows with all their might. However, this time, Wu Jun learned wisely, and did not launch an attack between the earth mountains, but launched an attack from the outside of the two earth mountains, so that the combat effectiveness of the earth mountains was dispersed, and it became an attack on one side from the two earth mountains.

At the same time, the Wu army dismounted the chariots of the warships as the city wall, and began to set up two chariot formations each. Although the longbow soldiers rained arrows on the mountain, they did not cause too many casualties to the Wu army with shield protection. Besides, the longbow soldiers are only 300 people, and the so-called arrow rain, for the Wu army of nearly 4,000 people, how much of a threat is there?

The phalanx of spears also came out, but their speed was not fast, and when they arrived, the chariot formation was already formed. Faced with a hedgehog-like car formation, the Han soldiers couldn't help but be a little at a loss. And although Wu Jun had no way to make the spear phalanx have any damage, he laughed triumphantly, last time they knew how arrogant these guys were, and directly compressed their comrades to the river and killed them, and not a single prisoner was left, and now seeing the Han army deflated, it was no worse than the excitement of them killing the enemy.

"The husband is smart!" Looking at the car array under the dirt mountain, Yang Zilu praised. And although Yang Zilu is praising it, in fact, his face is quite solemn, and he would rather continue to be 'stupid'.

"It's not like Fucha's style!" Hou Xiong analyzed on the side.

Hou Xiong is right, forming a formation with a military chariot is really not something that Fucha came up with by himself, but the famous Wu Zixu.

At this moment, Wu Zixu and his husband were standing on the top of the boat, and Wu Zixu was brushing his beard and proudly said to his husband: "King, how is it?" Although the old minister is a little older, it is still possible to give advice! The Han barbarians can't help Wu Jun, right? ”

"Thanks to Sangkook! The Han barbarian is just a chicken and a dog in front of Xiangguo! The husband also laughed on the side, but his heart was as disgusting as eating a cockroach, saying! This old guy is leaning on the old and selling the old again! Isn't it just a little trick, can it be used?
