Chapter 234: The Wu army loses the first battle

After the mountain was called, the soldiers of the Wu army began to get on the ship, limited by the technology of this era, the large troop carrier was only carrying seventy or eighty people, and the small one was even more miserable, but it was carrying seven or eight people, like an ant nest densely pouring over from the north shore. Probably in Fucha's opinion, Yang Zilu, who did not have a water division, could only rely on the half-crossing to defeat the Wu army, and he asked for a crowd tactic to prepare the Han army to be deflated.

The husband knew that Yang Zilu was certainly preparing to attack him halfway, but a big meal was prepared before the half-crossing attack.

When he saw that the Wu army's troop transport ship was already 200 steps away from the shore, Yang Zilu raised his hand, and immediately tore off the earthy yellow tarpaulin used for camouflage on the dirt mountain, revealing trebuchets ranging in height from two to three zhang, as well as ballistae that did not show mountain dew.

The husband on the other side didn't know how powerful these were, but he also knew that this was the weapon of the Han army, so he asked Gou Jian, who was sick and had sunken cheeks: "Gou Jian, you often fight with Yang Zilu, do you know what this is?" ”

Gou Jian really didn't know, because these weapons were the first time Gou Jian saw Yang Zilu take them out, and Yang Zilu had used them once before in Zhuji City, but Zhuji City fell too quickly, and Gou Jian didn't know the details, so it was naturally even more impossible to know the trebuchet that made a big splash in the battle of Zhuji City. As for the ballista hook, it is even more unheard of. Gou Jian smiled awkwardly and said: "If you go back to the lord, the lowly ministers are ignorant and don't know what these are!" ”

When the husband heard this, he frowned, but seeing that Gou Jian's tone of voice was very respectful to him, and Gou Jian was sick, the husband was also a little compassionate, and it was not good to scold Gou Jian. Fu Cha could only focus on the battlefield, I don't know why he had a hunch that the reason why Yang Zilu dared to argue with him was probably because of those strange things on this dirt mountain.

At this time, the troop carrier had already entered a distance of one hundred and eighty paces, and Yang Zilu's hand suddenly waved down.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ......" The rapid beating of the drum suddenly sounded.

"Put!" Chonghu roared excitedly.

The craftsmen immediately struck the mechanism with their mallets, and the noose broke free from its restraints, and immediately let out a slightly harsh sound of breaking through the air. A crossbow bolt like a spear shot out from the ballista, and under the action of the ballista's huge force, the spear could not see at all, only a piercing sound of breaking the sky sounded, and when I looked up, I only saw a long afterimage in the sky.

Not to be outdone, the trebuchet waved its giant arm, and hundreds of mud bombs with a diameter of one foot (twenty centimeters) shot out. Although these mud bombs are called mud, they are not soft at all. The clay is kneaded into a round ball, and then put into a ceramic kiln to burn fiercely, but this time is not long, which causes the clay pills to become porcelain on the outside, but the inside is still full of moisture and soft clay.

This leads to the fact that although the mud bomb is small, the weight is not light at all, and if it is a small boat, it will directly smash a big hole. At the same time, if it collides violently with a hard object, the mud pellet will be like a grenade, and the shell will shatter into several pieces, flying around the enemy. I don't dare to say that it is fatal, but it is no problem to let a bunch of wounded soldiers in the Wu army be added at all.

However, Wu Jun was unprepared for this, and the boat collided with the spear-like crossbow arrow, and was immediately hit by the huge force of the crossbow arrow, and the boat sank suddenly. Before the people on the boat could react, the river was pouring in from the bottom of the boat. Plus all the troop carriers were full of people, and the spears fell on the troop carriers, and more often than not, a person was strung directly . Meat. String it out.

Compared with the spear, the mud bomb was much more terrifying, and when it fell on the armor of the big ship, the Wu soldiers on the armor were immediately killed or wounded, and only a few of them had not lost their combat effectiveness. Some troop carriers were even directly sunk by mud bombs. The soldier fell into the water and called for help from a nearby boat in terror.

But these troop carriers dare to save people there! Their ships are full, and if one more person doesn't do it, they will sink the ship, and they can only watch them slowly be swallowed up by Zhejiang.

"This ...... What kind of weapon is this? The husband was dumbfounded.

Isn't Gou Jian by his side?

In just one round of strikes, at least fifteen Wu troop carriers were sunk, and at least 500 Wu soldiers were either killed or wounded and lost their combat effectiveness. If you want to build another troop carrier, you need to cut down trees from farther away and transport them over, and the cost of manpower and material resources is not a trivial matter.

Wang Sunluo glanced at his husband, and said in a tactful tone: "King, do you want the soldiers to come back and straighten out?" ”

In fact, what Wang Sunluo meant was whether to make the troop carriers a little sparse, at least not like now. The fact that the Han army was able to establish such a large record at such a distance was not unrelated to the dense formation of the Wu army.

When the husband heard this, Tie blushed and said with a sneer: "Can this intimidate the warriors of the Great Wu Kingdom, who are widowed?" Someone came and ordered to speed up the attack! ”

"No!" The herald on the side answered neatly and ran away.

When Wang Sun Yu heard this, he couldn't help but feel that the king was too arrogant? After all, the first batch of soldiers who fainted was only 3,000 people, and now they have lost one-sixth of them, and when they get to the shore, they don't know how many are left! Will they be able to withstand the Han attack? If you can't resist it, it means that the 3,000 people of the Wu army have been lost! But he saw that his husband had already made up his mind, and he couldn't say anything at this time.

As a diplomat, Wang Sunluo knows when it is appropriate to advise and when it is not. At this time, even if his exhortation was correct, not only would he not be appreciated by the Lord afterwards, but it was likely that the king was angry and killed him. Although the king must have regretted it afterwards, but everyone is dead, what is the use of regretting it to cry blood? Therefore, Wang Sunyu closed his mouth in interest and focused on the battlefield.

When the troop carriers got closer, the small and medium-sized trebuchets also began to exert their power, and the large trebuchets switched to boulders to target large ships. Although small and medium-sized trebuchets are inferior to large trebuchets in terms of range and strength, they are incomparable to large trebuchets in terms of rate of fire. For a while, in the sky above the south bank of Zhejiang, huge rocks flew sideways, and the whistling sound made the faces of the Wu soldiers pale, and they didn't know when a boulder or a spear would fall on their heads.

The soldiers of the Wu army who smashed the forced crossing complained bitterly, and they wished that their parents would give him an extra pair of rowing boats. The three Wu warships, the big wing class and the middle wing class, were not angry and passively beaten, and began to dock and counterattack with bows and arrows.

But don't look at what the Han army is good at, immediately the longbow soldiers fired a volley, and the trebuchets also aimed at these guys who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and it didn't take long for the three Wu warships to sink to the bottom of the Zhejiang River, and a boatload of Wu soldiers was sucked into the bottom of the river by the whirlpool caused by the sinking ship before they had time to escape. It is estimated that the fish in Zhejiang are blessed this year, and there is so much food, why don't you eat the fat in vain.

But these three battleships attracted firepower in this way, and also gave the Wu soldiers a chance to breathe. The Wu soldiers took the opportunity to row quickly, and the troop transports began to dock, but the troop carriers had not yet come down, and the Wu soldiers raised their shields, jumped off the battleship, and landed near the waist of the water.

Seeing this, Yang Zilu was not nervous at all, pursed his lips disdainfully, and glanced at the soldier beside him, and the soldier immediately picked up the horn on his waist and blew it.

"One, two, one! One, two, one! A dull but energetic roar rang out, and from behind each of the two dirt mountains appeared a phalanx, each of which was not large, but no more than seven hundred, but wide in line, and with spears raised. A dense forest of spears and thorns appeared in front of the Wu soldiers, just looking at it made people's hearts palpitate, between the two dirt mountains, such a narrow terrain, how to defeat them?

The Wu soldiers who had just landed changed their faces and turned around to escape, but the rowing soldiers had already fled back at a speed not much slower than the attack.

"Lord, there are about 1,000 soldiers of the Wu army who have landed, but many of them are wounded soldiers, and it is estimated that about 800 of them are capable of fighting!" Soldiers on the lookout report to Yang Zilu.

"Hmph, don't say eight hundred, even if there are a thousand, the spear of the widow is not afraid of him!" Yang Zilu sneered and coldly observed the battle on land.

This time the battle seemed a bit boring, and a few Wu soldiers launched a death-like charge, although brave and tragic, but the result was naturally only a corpse in the spear forest.

Although the other Wu soldiers resisted desperately, under the pressure of the spear array, they were slowly forced down the river and fought in the water, and the bodies of the soldiers killed in the battle fell on the riverside, half floating on the water. Blood continued to pour out of the wounds, staining the south bank of Zhejiang with a pale red.

"Attack! We are invincible warriors of the Wu Kingdom! At this time, the Wu army still did not give up, but their attack was so weak, and even a kind of self-abandonment in despair.

Slowly, there was not a single Wu soldier on the south bank, not even a prisoner. Yang Zilu wants to use this battle to tell everyone that the Han Kingdom that you underestimate has risen!

Fucha looked at the south bank, his face became extremely ugly, and he turned away without saying a word. A general hurriedly came to Fucha's side, as if he wanted to ask something, but he felt Fucha's anger and was afraid that Fucha would be angry, so he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask for a while. Wang Sunluo pulled the sleeve of the general's coat and said, "Order, all attacks are suspended!" ”

The general hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it okay?" The king didn't give the order! ”

Wang Sun Yu pouted at the husband who was not far away, the meaning is obvious, this distance, I must have heard what the king said, but the king didn't react, don't you understand?

The general immediately understood, and the husband acquiesced, but he was embarrassed to speak, so he said it through the mouth of Wang Sun Yu. The general showed a grateful look to Wang Sun, and arched his hand to Wang Sun, and immediately turned down.
