Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Liu Mang's army has moved, and he has been in Hefei for more than a month! Whether it is the black chess army or the chengguan army, they have been trained, although they are not up to the previous elite Cheng Dù, but it can also be said that they are in charge, not only that, but the benefits brought by this recruitment order to Liu Mang are very real! The heads of the cities of Gushi, Anfeng, Hefei, Lujiang, and Guangzhou were all prepared by Liu Mang, and Ganning's 12,000 sailors simply went directly towards the Lujiang River! Liu Mang is going to set up two naval battalions, one in Lujiang and one in Shouchun, and the dock is the same, and the two parties can build ships together to ensure that the naval army can be launched to the greatest extent!
On top of the trilogy, Liu Mang also gathered nearly 8,000 people, and there were more than 3,000 people who could enter the black chess army and the chengguan army, making the chengguan army and the black chess army also expand to 9,000 people! The remaining 5,000 people are basically ordinary people, and if they want to beg for a bite to eat in Liu Mang's hands, their bodies can be regarded as okay, otherwise it is impossible to run so far! So Liu Mang divided them into five, and went to their respective cities with the county commanders of Gushi, Anfeng, Hefei, and Lujiang counties to garrison them, as garrison troops, and the field troops had chengguan army and black chess army!
Liu Mang also pulled out two hundred cavalry battalions belonging to the Chengguan Army alone, although the cavalry battalions under Liu Mang's command were not all riding white war horses, but the heavy armor on their bodies was also silver-white.
And their commander is Zhao Yun, Liu Mang did not deliberately choose a name for the two hundred heavy armored cavalry, but directly used the elite under the command of Zhao Yun, the white horse Congyi who was the protector of the Han people outside the fortress! The number of people is small though! But Liu Mang will still expand the army later, and it's okay to say that heavy armor weapons! The most critical thing is the war horse~! It is impossible for Hebei to have any more war horses flowing out. Now there are only two sources for getting a warhorse. First, like Koto, take the waterway to the sea. Follow the coastline all the way to Liaodong to import war horses! Such a price is relatively high, and there is also a trip to Jingzhou to import war horses from Xiliangliangzhou! It's not an easy thing to do!
Although Liu Biao of Jingzhou is in the honeymoon period for Lu Bujun, don't forget that the war horse will still be controlled by Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and not only have to pass through Liu Biao of Jingzhou, but also Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, as well as Zhang Xiu of Wancheng, and even to reach Shouchun, you also need to go to the edge of Runan! It's not an easy path either.
In fact, there is another way to get war horses, that is, the batch of Arab war horses brought back by Liu Mang! These horses are not castrated. There are also many mares, but now that spring has passed, the love period of the war horse is over! So it's impossible to give birth to foals this year, and we can only wait until tomorrow when spring begins! Even so, it must be supplemented by war horses, otherwise when these Arab war horses give birth to foals, what will those wolves ride on?
Since the recruitment order, Liu Mang's attention has been much smaller! After all, Liu Mang's recruitment order offended the world's corporal clan, and now that family is not at war, Jingzhou Liu Biao and Jiangdong Sun Ce are in full swing, and Sun Cejun once again gained the upper hand some time ago. Because Sun Cejun had capable people in his army, he transformed the warship in another direction. That is the thickness, he not only increased the volume of the warship and used twice the wood to make the warship, but also the entire warship was watered with copper juice and molten iron, and in order to make the warship not overturned because of its own heavy guidance, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the design of watertight cabins appeared in the shipbuilding industry, and the entire cabin was bridged with watertight cabins, which not only greatly improved the buoyancy of the warship, but also even if it was hit by an arrow, even if it caught fire, the hull was shot through. As long as the watertight cabin is not all damaged, he can still insist on floating on the water, such an ending is that Jingzhou Liu Biao and Sun Ce fought a water war, the same is the loss of dozens of warships, Jingzhou Liu Biao's warship was sent to the bottom of the river with people, and although Sun Ce's warship was damaged by the superstructure, but because of the watertight cabin, as long as it did not sink into the water, it could be towed back by other warships after the war, and the dock craftsmen repaired to extinguish the flames, and then to create the defective part, Replenish the soldiers and reappear on the surface of the river again.
Under the advantages of the other, the Jingzhou Navy is a little unbearable! Shipbuilding will never be faster than repairing ships, and shipbuilding requires a lot of financial and material resources, even if the Jingzhou family property is strong, it can't bear this consumption! After a while, Huangzhou and Wuchang were lost again! The Jiangdong Navy began to approach the mouth of the three rivers!
If Sanjiangkou is also lost, then the Jingzhou Navy will return to the state before there is no bed crossbow!
Now the whole Jiangdong is holding his stomach! They spent a lot of money to get the drawings for making bed crossbows from Liu Mang from Lu Bujun, and they were going to fight Jingzhou by surprise, and even gave thousands of craftsmen and gold, silver and jewelry just to get a promise from Lu Bujun, so that Jingzhou would get the drawings a month late, so that this month would be enough for Jiangdong's warships to be refitted!
But who knew that Liu Mang put someone together, and instead of selling the drawings, he directly sold the bed crossbow! Now it's fun! Jiangdong wants to hit Jingzhou by surprise! I didn't expect to be caught off guard by Jingzhou! If Zhou Yu hadn't made a quick decision and learned some information about the bed crossbow, he would have been served by Kuai Liang a long time ago! That's it, Zhou Yu still lost Sanjiangkou and retreated all the way! Handang's fleet is gone!
And Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army didn't dare to put his temper on Lu Bujun, so the unlucky one was Jingzhou Liu Biao! Sun Ce, Tai Shici, Zhou Yu, Lu Su! Sun Ce's lineup can be described as luxurious to the extreme, with Zhang Shao in the rear and his younger brother Sun Quan!
And Jingzhou relied on Wenpin, Huang Zu supported the scene, and the Kuai brothers, although they are also first-class strategists, one person can't be used by several people! So the Jingzhou Navy is once again in a predicament, but fortunately, this old man Liu Biao Liu, I don't know if he has done too many good things in his previous life! When Liu Biao in Jingzhou was in trouble, a god-level figure joined the Jingzhou Army!
This person is Zhuge Liang, who is known as Wolong, although Zhuge Liang has not entered the official career before, but his reputation is not small! Wolong and phoenix chicks can win the world if they get one! Although it is bragging. But this is also a way of selling for the ancients! It doesn't matter if you don't have a reputation, who will use you! And Zhuge Liang is not a talentless person. As soon as he joined the Jingzhou Army. Liu Biao was overjoyed! He wants to get these talents in Jingzhou for not a day or two, when the world is in turmoil, only he Jingzhou is a paradise, so many celebrities and talented people have come to Jingzhou, these are all great talents! For example, there is Mr. Shuijing, such as Pang Degong! Jingzhou Liu Biao doesn't know how many times he has come to the door, but he hopes that these people will give him Liu Biao for his Jingzhou appearance! But Liu Biao returned again and again in vain, and those talents didn't look down on Liu Biao at all. A person who keeps the rules, no matter how talented you are, you can't help it if the lord doesn't want to improve! So Liu Biao could only watch those people be heartbroken.
And now, as a proud disciple of Mr. Shuijing, Zhuge Liang is actually out of office in Jingzhou, and this career does not make Liu Biao happy to death! What does this mean, it shows that those talented people living in Jingzhou have thoughts about him Jingzhou Liu Biao, but this is purely Liu Biao's wishful thinking.
Zhuge Liang joined Liu Biao's forces in Jingzhou, but he was alone, and everyone else thought Zhuge Liang was crazy and stupid! But Zhuge Liang is as always, and even now a certain black fat man in Runan was stunned for a long time when he heard the news.
As soon as Zhuge Liang joined Liu Biaojun, he did not accept Liu Biao's kindness to make him the Taishou of Xiangyang. Instead, he told Liu Biao that he was going to enter the army and go to Jiangxia to help the two generals, Wen Ping and Huang Zu. You must know that the situation in Jiangxia is not very good now! The battle losses are very high, and now there are only 50,000 of the 70,000 troops under Wen Ping, and the losses of the warships are still very strict, it can be said that those men and horses in the Jingzhou naval army are eager to be transferred back to Jingzhou! And there is no one who really wants to go to the front.
Liu Biao also prepared for the worst, that is, to lose Jiangxia and retreat to Shiyang, Wulin Chibi area, and Jiangdong Sun Ce to stalemate! And now Zhuge Liang actually asked to go to the front line, Liu Biao didn't want to agree at first, if Zhuge Liang had something to do in the front, then it would be difficult for him Liu Biao, at least Mr. Shui Jing, these Confucian powers and those celebrities may have opinions on Liu Biao, but Zhuge Liang said hello to his master Mr. Shuijing before he came, and asked Pang Degong to go and tell Liu Biao, he Zhuge Liang wants to show himself and defend the land for General Liu Biao of Jingzhou, after all, Zhuge Liang's second hometown is Nanyang, can be regarded as half of Jingzhou people!
On the side, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and some other scholars are also fanning the flames, and they can't wait for Zhuge Liang to go to the front line! You must know that Liu Biao's Xiangyang Taishou to Zhuge Liang is a fat shortage, Xiangyang is one of the richest places in the entire Jingzhou, daily merchant ships come and go, and merchants from the north and south trade here! And the people of Jingzhou also have money, they are willing to buy things, so the taxes of Xiangyang City can be worth half of Jingzhou's taxes, and the position of Xiangyang Taishou can be full of oil and water as long as he does it a little! With such a fat shortage, how can you say that the Cai family can let go!
The relationship between the Kuai brothers and Mr. Shuijing, Pang Degong and others is also good, they also want to see how Mr. Shuijing, the most proud disciple under his hands, is doing, although the Kuai brothers are unwilling, but they also don't want to release the position of Xiangyang Taishou, so everyone used their strength together, Zhuge Liang easily got the position of military advisor of the 50,000 army in Jiangxia, and Liu Biao also wrote in the letter, big and small, no matter how big or small, you need to discuss with Kong Ming, where is this just a military advisor! is a part-time supervisor of the army, it can be said that Wen Ping has no autonomy now, even if he sends troops, he must discuss it with Zhuge Liang first.
And Huang Zu, although Jiangxia is his territory, but after fighting for so many days, Jiangxia has also been broken, and their Huang family is also one of the four great families in Jingzhou, Liu Biao also gave the Lingling Guilin generation to the Huang family as compensation in order to appease himself as a veteran, Huang Zu is also single, and he took his son Huang Shot and a thousand pro-army to take office.
"Zhuge Liang?!" Wen Ping stayed in the camp, and what he held in his hand was the order given to him by Liu Biao of Jingzhou, which almost made Wen Ping Zhuge Liang's deputy, although Wen Ping knew that there was a Nanyang Wolong Zhuge Kongming, but Wen Ping's attitude towards this kind of person was respectful and away! He knows that these people may be talented and famous, but they are all praised by people, and no one knows the real situation, and Wen Ping can't offend others! And now it's different, a Zhuge Kongming has just joined the ranks and has received such attention from Liu Biao in Jingzhou, so that Wen Ping, a general who has made great contributions to Jingzhou, is Zhuge Liang's deputy, what do you think about Wen Ping.
You must know that Wen Ping was nominally not the chief general of the Jingzhou Navy before. The Lord will be Huang Zu. But Huang Zu. But there are only 20,000 people under Huang Zu's command, and Wen Ping has more than 50,000 troops, it can be said that the main decision is still on Wen Ping, and now that Huang Zu is gone, Wen Ping has become the chief general of the first army, but the real power is gone, waiting for the next Zhuge Tai Emperor!
"Kong Ming, are you in Jingzhou?!" In the Runan Taishou Mansion, a fat black man looked at the information in his hand. He was stunned, originally he and Zhuge Liang said that they would go together to assist their respective masters, and see whose lords achieved more in a few years, and the person who lost was going to be a scholar, but now he came out by himself and found his own master, as he expected, this lord attaches great importance to him, and even now his lord is going to fight with the person Kong Ming likes, so he has been carefully preparing to fight with this former friend. But who knew this ending would be like this!
"Kong Ming, what the hell are you thinking?!" This is something he has never figured out.
What was Zhuge Liang thinking? He himself didn't know. He originally planned to go directly to Lujiang, but that recruitment order prevented him from going directly to Lujiang, he could go directly to Lujiang, but what about after that? Although Liu Mang's recruitment order can bring him a lot of talents in a short period of time, in the long run, this is completely a means that outweighs the losses! He offended the entire Shi clan, and the Shi clan is so easy to deal with! If this is really the case, there will be no four great families in Jingzhou now, not the Liu family, even people like Liu Biao in Jingzhou have to consider the ideas of the scholars, which is why Liu Biao will choose the Cai family to marry the sister of Cai Mao of the Cai family, he needs to win over the Cai family, so that the Liu family can maintain rule on the land of Jingzhou! And Liu Mang's recruitment order this time offended the scholars of the whole world, and it is impossible for these scholars to let Liu Mang get the world, except that you can destroy them! It can be said that Liu Mang is not moving forward now! Every time they attack a place, the local scholars fully support the local princes, and they contribute money and efforts, and these scholars have a lot of heritage!
Liu Mang was originally competing with the major princes to dominate the world, but now it has become a competition with the world's scholars to dominate the world, Liu Mang will either defeat the then scholars and overthrow those old scholars or be defeated and die, and Liu Mang is the master he fancies, Zhuge Liang will not let such a scene appear, so Zhuge Liang needs to help him! Staying by Liu Mang's side is a kind of help, but this kind of help is too small, too limited, Zhuge Liang needs more help, so now that he is in Jingzhou, give him the whole Jingzhou as a gift!
Thinking like this, Kong Ming's ship gradually sailed to Shiyang, and the waterway was unsafe, so Zhuge Liang needed to take 6 roads directly to Sanjiangkou, but a day's journey, Kong Ming and his party arrived at the Sanjiangkou camp, and before they arrived at the Sanjiangkou camp, there was a general with a team of men and horses to meet Zhuge Kongming.
"Is this person a clerk?!" In Zhuge Liang's eyes, this general has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his face is also very handsome, more like a Confucian than a general, if it weren't for the scar on his face, the layout of the entire face was completely involved, which made this middle-aged man much more majestic.
"This person is Zhuge Kongming?!" Wen Ping was also observing Zhuge Liang, although Zhuge Liang was very indifferent, but Wen Ping still frowned, because Zhuge Liang was too young, such a doll who was less than twenty years old could really be a military advisor? Can it really decide the life and death of an army? Wen Ping is a military general, what is most important to military generals! That's strength! Zhuge Liang just has a better reputation, and a little doll actually climbed on his head Wenpin! This is no longer another Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period is still more famous than Zhuge Liang! In the capital of Zhao State, everyone knows it, even the monarch King Zhao is very interested in Zhao Kuo, because this person has been learning the art of war since he was a child, arguing about war and strategy, even his old father Zhao Hao, a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, is not his opponent, it can be said that the prodigy of the world is much more famous than Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou, but what is the final outcome! The Battle of Changping of Zhao State was defeated, and 200,000 troops were killed, and Zhao State could not afford it from then on.
Now Wen Ping is afraid that this Zhuge Liang is also a Zhao Kuo who talks on paper, then it is really over, if that is the case, it is better to surrender Jiangdong now! It's better than being captured, beheaded, and losing all your fame in the last life.
The two of them just looked at it, but it was Zhuge Liang who spoke first, "General Wenpin!" Nanyang Zhuge Kongming has seen the general! Everyone says that the general has the ability to be virtuous, and today it seems that this is indeed the case: "Wen Ping is the chief general of the first army." Even if Zhuge Liang was sent by Liu Biao to serve as a supervisor of the army, there is also a military advisor. But the number of rituals cannot be abolished. Zhuge Liang boasted that Wen was hired as Meng Tian, which was close to Wen Ping. He also knew that he had been parachuted in, that he was young, and most importantly, that he had never commanded soldiers and horses before! Therefore, it is inevitable that Wen Ping will not be convinced, and Kong Ming can only praise Wen Ping in order to be able to reconcile with each other! At least on the bright side, he wants to give Zuwen face.
"There is no need for Kong Ming's military division to be like this! The old man just has the responsibility of guarding the land! "As the saying goes, don't hit smiling people with smiling faces, although Wen Ping is dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang and remains suspicious of Zhuge Liang's talent, but now everyone is praising you. If you put on a stinky face again, that's the Su zhì problem! Moreover, although Sanjiangkou is now under the control of the Jingzhou Naval Army, it is inevitable that there will be no spies from Jiangdong, and if they see it, they will be at odds. It's Jiangdong who sees the jokes, no matter who controls the army with Zhuge Liang, it's to protect Jingzhou.
"Kong is young next year, and there are many places that I don't know about the military, and I hope that General Wenpin will give him advice!" Kong Ming is telling the truth, he Zhuge Kong Ming is talented, but that is also on strategy, but also in the paper, if only Lun Ce, he Zhuge Liang can fight Jiangdong alone, but in fact! For example, the hydrology of the Yangtze River, such as the loss of warships. For example, some trivial matters in the army, he Zhuge Liang didn't know. Because Mr. Shui Jing still has these experiences in books, he can't talk about them, so Zhuge Liang needs the help of Wen Ping.
The two politely exchanged words at the door for a while, and finally a general and colonel spoke, "General, military advisor, let's go to the city and talk again!" "Sanjiangkou is a place half by the Yangtze River and half by 6 places, not so much that he is a naval army, it is better to say that he is a city, he is much larger than the Anhui City naval army, so this general is said to be entering the city.
The group walked towards the city, but Zhuge Liang shook his head: "General Wenpin, let's go to the place where the fleet is located first!" ”
"Huh?!" Wen Ping was stunned for a moment, now it should be him as the main general to entertain Zhuge Liang and give him a reception, instead of going directly to the location of the fleet, but Wen Ping is a war general after all, and he is much more interested in the war than the banquet. So I didn't say much! With Zhuge Liang, he walked in the direction of the fleet, the Sanjiangkou was still very large, and the group didn't need to bring horses, so they walked for a while before they came to the Sanjiangkou half of the place in the waters of the Yangtze River.
"This is our warship!" Zhuge Liang looked at the warship full of the entire water village in front of him and muttered to himself! Although the Jingzhou Navy has suffered defeats in the past two days, it has only lost about 20,000, plus what Huang Zu took with him when he left, it can be said that there are still 50,000 horses here! There are 50,000 horses and 160 warships, and these 160 warships can be said to be the last capital of the Jingzhou Navy Army! If you don't hit it, it's gone! That's it, these 160 warships can really go out, only about 150, the others are either injured or understaffed!
"Yes, the military division, this is our warship! If you had come two days earlier, there would have been two hundred warships here! Wen Ping couldn't help but sigh when he saw these warships, because these warships and these sailors were his sons under Wen Ping, and the lord Liu Biao trusted Wen Ping, so he sent 50,000 elite sailors to Wen Ping's hands, a fleet of 200 warships! It can be said that pulling it out, it will definitely cover the sky and the sun, and the sails will cover the entire Yangtze River crossing, but now there are one hundred and fifty combatable soldiers left of the two hundred warships!
"Two days of consumption is so big?!" Zhuge Liang was also frowning, there were no forty search warships in two days, which is a lot of consumption, although the warships were destroyed, and the sailors were lucky to be able to swim back, but how to fight if the warships were gone!
"In the past two days, Sun Ce's naval army has attacked very urgently, day and night, and our army has retreated from Huangzhou to Wuchang and then from Wuchang to the mouth of the three rivers!" Wen Ping is also very helpless, although there are bed crossbows on the warship now, and bed crossbows can solve a lot of battles, but there is always a time when the bed crossbow is finished, once the bed crossbow is used up, it takes time to reload, so the broadside battle has once again become the protagonist of the battle between the two armies, and Wen Ping's generals are really few, and they can fight even less, and the Jiangdong Navy on the opposite side! There are Tai Shi Ci Huang Gai among the martial arts generals who refine the gods, Sun Ce also appears from time to time, and some other generals are not weak! These are not the key, after all, there are many people in Jingzhou, and the key to being able to afford it now is. He Jingzhou is starting to lose it!
On the first two days of war. Two hundred warships were sent out. In the end, there were only one hundred and sixty ships left, and dozens of them were wounded, and it was useless to see it, and what about Sun Ce's naval army on the other side! Although their warships also lost nearly thirty warships, those battleships that were hit by the bed crossbow were not sunk, as long as the bed crossbow on them was not destroyed, they were a battery on the water!
At this time, the Jingzhou Navy suffered a big loss, and their warships also ate a wave of giant arrows from bed crossbows, and they were directly sent to the bottom of the river. And as long as the warship does not sink after a big battle, it can still be pulled back to the dock by the friendly warship for repair, and it will appear on the river again after ten days and half a month. Five to one battle damage!
Now in addition to the warship itself worth 100 gold, those bed crossbows on a battleship are also very expensive, and five bed crossbows are not cheaper than one warship! It's all about money in wars, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou can't afford to spend it like this. If it weren't for the Jiangdong Dockyard far away from here, I'm afraid the Sanjiangkou wouldn't be able to be saved!
Zhuge Liang looked at the warships that had been injured by the bed crossbow. The bottom of these ships was basically shot through the bottom, and the superstructure was rarely damaged. Just shoot through the bottom of the ship and sink you, so why attack the superstructure.
"The bottom of the ship can be reinforced!" Since the focus is on the bottom of the ship, then just go and reinforce the bottom of the ship. Kong Ming looked at Wen Ping.
"It doesn't work!" Wen Ping shook his head when he heard Kong Ming's question, he Wen Ping didn't try, the Jiangdong Navy on the opposite side strengthened the bottom of the ship, they added a lot of copper water to the bottom of the ship, and added multiple layers of iron sheets, so that the consequence of the guide zhì is that the giant arrows of the bed crossbow often have to shoot several times before they can really shoot through a Jiangdong warship! Wen Ping also tried to ask the boatmen to thicken the bottom of the building ship when he saw those iron sheets, but what was the final result! That is, the warship can't bear to bear the load, and the entire bottom of the ship is going to be pressed under the water. Before you meet the enemy, you have to sink to the bottom of the river, so you still have a fart! Therefore, Wenpin decisively stopped this modification.
"Demolished!" Kong Ming approached a warship, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said this.
"Demolished?!" Wen Ping was very puzzled, what does this Zhuge military master want to do! What to dismantle? Dismantling warships? Or what to dismantle!
"Tear down those, those, those!" Zhuge Liang pointed to a building ship and pointed it to Wen Ping one by one.
Wen Ping followed Zhuge Liang's gaze and realized that Zhuge Liang was all the superstructure of the building, that is, those floors.
"Nonsense, how can those be demolished!" Wen Ping couldn't help but use his anger, building ships and building ships, there will be building ships only if there are those upper war buildings, those building ships can not only be suppressed with bows and arrows condescendingly, but also can be used as a watchtower to observe enemy ships, and the sails are also on top of those superstructures, and even the higher the building ships, it represents the strength of a naval army! For example, Wenpin's flagship and Zhou Yu's flagship, their warships are one point larger than ordinary building ships, and the superstructure is much larger.
These buildings are actually city walls on the water surface for the naval generals, and if there is no superstructure, how can the naval soldiers resist the rain of arrows!
"If you don't demolish it, then you will wait for the Jiangdong Navy to send you Wenping and these Navy soldiers to the bottom of the Yangtze River to feed Wang Ba little by little!" Zhuge Liang is also not polite, although he Zhuge Liang is inexperienced, but he has amazing attainments in the technique, he looked at those warships and saw that there was a problem with these building ships, and there was basically no loss of superstructure, even if there was a giant arrow that flew down and shot off the bed crossbow!
And the bottom of these warships has been shot out of large holes, and those superstructures were originally designed to resist arrows, but now they have no effect, so it is better to dismantle them! Increase the thickness of the bottom of the ship and add iron sheets.
"What if you tear down the watchtower! Where to put the sails after they are removed! "Wen Ping is holding back his anger, because this person was sent by the lord Liu Biao, who is here to supervise and serve as a military advisor, and even wrote in the letter that everything needs to be asked, if there is no such sentence, Wen Ping will ignore Zhuge Liang for a point, and let Zhuge Liang sit aside to eat and drink well!
Zhuge Liang also thought of this, which made Liu Biao add this article to the appointment letter, although he Zhuge Liang has no experience, but he has knowledge. He can slowly realize the experience. And real talent cannot be learned.
"The watchtower can be kept. The sails can also stay! "Zhuge Liang didn't listen to Wen Ping's words, in this era, if you want to see farther, all you need is to stand taller, there is no watchtower, the enemy may appear to you, but you don't know where the enemy is, then it's bad! The enemy will be able to anticipate the enemy's opportunity and plunge headfirst into the enemy's trap, so the watchtower can be kept!
The sails also need to be kept, and these sails can be kept high as they go down the river. Even some people can harness the power of the wind when they are against the wind.
"Huh!" Wen Ping was laughed at by Zhuge Liang, and he couldn't help but ask Zhuge Liang, "Without those floors, how can we board the enemy's warship and how can we fight?" Do you wait for the enemy to come near us and shoot us with arrows? "The floor of the building ship was designed at the beginning not for decoration, nor for the sake of living more comfortably, but to suppress the enemy from a high position, you can shoot arrows directly at each other from the top of the building ship, and when the two building ships approach, the people on the higher floors will take advantage of it! They can rush into the opposite boat at any time, or they can shoot arrows at the opposite side! It can be said that it is completely one-sided and pressing. If it weren't for the fact that the floor couldn't be higher, no matter how high it was, it might lead to a tilt of the ship. I'm afraid that the level of this building ship will become higher and higher!
"Do you need it?!" Zhuge Liang did not immediately answer Wen Ping's words, but directly asked rhetorically, do you need it!
"You!" Wen Ping was choked by Zhuge Liang's words, this vertical man really doesn't understand naval warships! In Wen Ping's mind, Zhuge Liang has become Zhao Kuo's first-class talker on paper! However, Zhuge Liang's next words made him ponder!
"General Wenpin, see for yourself! Since the appearance of these bed crossbows, what kind of changes have taken place in the fight of the water army! "Zhuge Liang is honest, he really admires him very much, bed crossbow! I can shoot continuously! And that kind of piercing ability, it directly changed the combat form of the entire water army, it turned out that whoever had more people was the fierce general, then who was the overlord on the water, and now it~! Before you get close, it's a volley of giant crossbows, and the ships that get close are unlucky, and they may not even see the enemy's face and will be sent to the bottom! The reason why the two sides have fought so fiercely for more than a month is because of the appearance of the bed crossbow, which led to the consumption of the warship.
However, Wen Ping was still a little disdainful, "So what!" No matter how strong the arrows of the bed crossbow are, when he runs out, the arrows run out! That's not the same broadside battle as before! Melee combat, without these floors, wait for the entire army to be destroyed! "Only when the floors are the same height as each other, there is no distinction between high and low, and everyone can be the same as usual! These sailors were accustomed to the rocking of their ships in the water, just as they were on flat ground. The height of the building ship is the same as the height of the well in front of Wancheng and Wancheng before, and the well is higher than Wancheng! Then the unlucky ones are the people on the city wall, and if they want to shoot you, they will shoot you! And if the city wall is higher than the well, the people on the well fence will be useless!
"Running out? Hehe! What if you can't run out! The corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth flashed with a sneer, "General Wenpin, please look!" Once these building ships dismantle the upper floors, how many people can fit in the geometric weight of these building ships?! ”
"Huh?!" Wen Ping frowned, most of the weight of the building ship is on the floor, once you go to these floors, then the entire building ship can be regarded as subtracting more than half of the load, so relying on the previous buoyancy of the building ship, the soldiers who can be put down are twice as high as the above! But so what! There is no floor to fight the same broadside battle, once someone is sent to the bottom of the river, no matter how many people there are, they will die more!
Zhuge Liang looked at Wen Ping and frowned, knowing that Wen Ping was already turning along his mind, and Zhuge Liang wanted that! "General Wenpin, think about it again, if we use these loads not to load soldiers, but to strengthen the bottom of the ship! Cover the bottom of these boats with iron sheets and water them with copper water~ In this way, will you be able to compete with the Jiangdong Navy for a long time! Zhuge Liang didn't know how these Jiangdong sailors could make the warship penetrate and float on the water, but he Zhuge Liang could also do it by reinforcing the bottom of the ship. The bottom of the ship is reinforced, and the chance of being shot through by the bed crossbow is small~! These Jingzhou naval forces were not unable to compete with the Jiangdong naval army.
"But the old man still said the same thing before, once the arrows of the bed crossbow are used up! Broadside battles can't be fought at all! "The bed crossbow changed the war of the navy, but the change was only at the beginning, at the beginning, everyone was shooting with the bed crossbow, but after shooting, it was still the old rule of broadside combat!
"I'm not just a thickened bottom! Bed crossbow! There are five bed crossbows on the warship of the Jiangdong Navy Army, and I can put ten bed crossbows on one warship! Zhuge Liang said his idea, and demolished all the buildings on the upper floor of the building in order to strengthen the bottom of the ship and strengthen the number of bed crossbows on the naval warship!
Isn't it a waste if such a sharp weapon is not used on a large scale! Now that he is already changing the way the water army fights! That's not as good as the whole method of fighting to overthrow the water army! Replace him with new combat specs!
"Ten!" Wen Ping was also stunned by Zhuge Liang's crazy thoughts, there were twenty-five giant arrows in the five bed crossbows, which was already terrifying, and now Zhuge Liang was going to double the size!
"Yes, ten" Zhuge Liang said eloquently, "If there is an encounter, our bed crossbow is more than twice that of the other party, and it can completely suppress a warship on the opposite side that can't shoot through Jiangdong, then two or three, I don't believe that fifty bed crossbows can't shoot through a battleship!" Even if we fight one for one, our Jingzhou Navy is earning, if we fight a protracted war, ten bed crossbows take turns to fight, with five as a group, one group of giant arrows is shot, immediately loaded, the second group is pressed, and when the second group of giant arrows is shot, the first group will be good again! Such a time difference! General Wenpin, you said that our army will shoot the arrows on the bed crossbow! ”
"This, this!" Wen Ping was also stunned by Zhuge Liang's crazy thoughts, if it was really as Zhuge Liang said, the bed crossbow could be shot in wheels, then there would really not be a blank period for shooting arrows, and in the end, everyone was entangled together to make the bed crossbow useless!
"General, this is really a good idea!" The general on the side also thought of it and became excited, if that was the case, there would be ten bed crossbows on his warship! The kind of bed crossbow loaded with giant arrows in the cold light is terrifying to think about!
"I see!" Wen Ping nodded, he now finally knew the difference between a strategist and their general! It is true that the generals are much stronger than the strategists in terms of personal force, and it can be said that there is only one way to die for the strategists, and these strategists are also powerless, so it is a joke to let them go into battle to kill the enemy! But strategists are brainy! Their ideas, their ideas are all frightening, they are all based on a battle, and those who should be sacrificed will be sacrificed, and now Zhuge Liang directly wants to change the style of combat of a military branch!
If Zhuge Liang succeeds, there will be hand-to-hand combat in the future when the naval army fights! The answer is no!
"Pass my military orders! All the ships have their superstructures removed, their bottoms thickened, and their bed crossbows loaded! "Wen Ping is not a stubborn person who is not a person who can't listen to words, seeing the scene described by Zhuge Liang, Wen Ping is also affirmed~!
"The general doesn't need to tear them all down, one fleet is enough!" Zhuge Liang said to Wen Ping, if all the warships are dismantled, it will be too long, but now is the time of war, if it is blocked in the camp by Sun Ce's navy, it will be fun for the Jiangdong navy to attack the hinterland of Jingzhou again! Therefore, it can only be dismantled one by one, and it is necessary to retain the highly mobile troops that can be used.
"That's what the military advisor said!" Wen Ping nodded, he wouldn't underestimate this military advisor sent by the lord now! A few ideas, pointing out the country, will solve the end of being pressed and beaten by the Jiangdong Navy these days, Wen Ping can imagine that once all the fleets are refitted, what will happen to those Jiangdong Navy troops!
There are not many bed crossbows left in Sanjiangkou! So you still need to ask for it like Jingzhou. (To be continued!)
