Chapter 822: The Most Important Loot
The first two ships of the Wu army had not yet recovered from the joy of gaining the upper hand, and they found themselves encountering an even more terrifying existence.
Two giant ships half their size, like two mountains, rushed over, these two giant ships were not only large, but also fast, preliminary visual inspection, about twice as fast as them. This realization is too surprising, after the transformation, their speed has increased by fifty percent, which is already an unexpectedly unexpected achievement, in their opinion, in the face of the same size of the building ship, they have at least seventy or eighty percent chance of winning, this is already the best embodiment of this kind of jishu potential, even if they meet the Xiangyang sailors who once beat them to the point that they can't raise their heads, they are also confident to fight, to regain the glory they have lost.
Dealing with Zhuge Zhi is just an aperitif before a big meal. It's just that they didn't expect that the feast would come so soon, and it was so big, so big that they were dumbfounded, enough to choke them to death.
The speed of the other party's beyond imagination caused suddenness, and when the two Wu Junlou ships realized this, they had already lost the opportunity to avoid it.
With a loud "boom", the giant ship collided, and the Wu Junlou ship was hit squarely, and the thick board made a series of squeaky groans, and the entire hull turned sideways, and the Wu soldiers on the boat were defenseless at all, one by one, staggering and sliding to the side of the building boat, and many people directly climbed over the guardrail and fell into the lake, stirring up one water column after another.
The officers and men of the Shu Han army on the giant ship were already prepared, they rushed to the side, raised the hand-held repeater in their hands, and condescendingly carried out a covering attack on the Wu army. This hand-held repeater has a range of only thirty paces and is loaded with ten iron arrows. Best for melee. Standing on the tall building boat, condescending, and shooting indiscriminately at the chaotic Wu army was the favorite tactic used by these Jiaozhou sailors. At such a close distance, the iron arrow could easily penetrate the armor on Wu Jun's body.
The Wu army suffered heavy losses, and after a rain of arrows, less than thirty percent of the armor soldiers on the deck remained, and the survivors were also holding their heads and running around, panicked, and lost the ability to fight again.
The giant ship squeezed Wu Junlou's ship and sailed by. Unreasonably squeezed the boat away. The boat swayed sharply on the water, struggling on the brink of capsizing. When the giant ship sailed by, the side of the building ship lost support, and the building ship fell back suddenly. Shake it in the opposite direction. Sergeant Wu on the boat exclaimed. Slipping from side to side, quite a few people fell into the water. In order to hold themselves in place, many people reached out to grab the iron arrows nailed to the deck. The iron arrow was pierced so deep that some Wu soldiers avoided the doom of falling into the water.
As soon as the two sides made contact, the giant ship was completely victorious, and the morale of the Wu army that had just been mustered suddenly collapsed, but the medium-sized warship behind the giant ship broke out into a burst of cheers, and the elated pirates and thieves immediately surrounded them, threw out the hook, bit the sharp blade in their mouths, and quickly crawled towards the building ship that was still shaking violently.
What followed was a one-sided massacre.
The two giant ships accelerated again and rushed towards more Wu Junlou ships. Like two wild bison running wildly, they knocked over several Wu Jun's new-style building boats all the way, and rushed to the center of Wu Jun's water camp, and then stopped their progress. Almost all of the Wu Junlou ships that were hit lost their speed and fell into the attack, becoming lambs to be slaughtered.
In less than half an hour, Xiahou Xuan and Zhuge Dan laid the victory, and the next thing is to see how Zhuge Zhi and others cannibalized these buildings and ships that had lost their combat effectiveness one by one.
At the same time that the sailors gained the upper hand, the battle on the shore also came to an end. Deng Ai commanded more than 40,000 Shanyue and destroyed the defense line of the Wu army without much effort. The Wu army numbered no more than 10,000, and although there was a camp as a cover, they still couldn't support it for too long in front of the brave and warlike Shanyue.
Soon, the battle flag of the god general was planted in the camp of the Wu army.
According to the usual practice, in addition to the centralized management of grain, other equipment was distributed to people of merit. The equipment of the Wu army was useless to him, but for those Shanyue who lacked armor and armament, it was a rare trophy. Timely distribution to them can reward their courage and keep them strong on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also strengthen their combat effectiveness and reduce casualties.
The successive losses of Luying and Shuizhai made the remnants of the Wu army lose the desire to resist, and faced a two-sided attack from 60,000 or 70,000 Shu Han troops, even if most of these Shu Han troops were rabble, but still destroyed their fighting spirit.
Yuzhang Shipyard fell into the hands of Wei Ba, Deng Ai had just packed up the big tent, and Xiahou Xuan hurried over under the protection of a group of armor soldiers. He arched his hand at Deng Ai: "Shizai, where is the craftsman in the shipyard?" ”
Deng Ai returned the salute and asked, "I've already let people take care of it, what's the matter, there's a problem?" ”
Xiahou Xuan smiled: "Take me quickly, our most important loot may be in the hands of those people." ”
Deng Ai was a little surprised, he killed all the way from Luling, and gathered thirty or forty thousand Shanyue along the way, even if Wei Ba's standard was very high, there was no problem in picking out 10,000 elite soldiers. Xiahou Xuan's harvest was even greater, he killed from the East China Sea, broke the Wu army along the way, and almost killed half of the Wu army's sailors, such a result is not big enough, and there are more important trophies?
Deng Ai accompanied Xiahou Xuan to the place where those technicians were held, Xiahou Xuan took his hands and swept his eyes: "Who is the master craftsman Ge Heng Ge Sizhen?" ”
A middle-aged man in his forties stood up and gave a timid salute: "Down there is Ge Heng." ”
Xiahou Xuan glanced him up and down, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Ge Jun, you are safe and sound, I am very relieved." General Zhennan has heard about your name for a long time, and he has always wanted to meet you, so he specially sent me thousands of miles to invite him, and asked Ge Jun not to refuse. ”
Ge Heng smiled embarrassedly, his smile was very ugly. He didn't know what Xiahou Xuan meant by this, he didn't believe that Wei Ba would know about him, and specially sent Xiahou Xuan to invite him. can talk about the invasion so well, Xiahou Xuan deserves to be a famous man.
"Ge Jun, General Zhennan's sincerity and providence can be seen, should you also repay the favor?" Xiahou Xuan pulled Ge Heng aside and said with a smile: "Those drawings are all in your hands, right?" ”
Ge Heng immediately understood, and nodded again and again.
"In, in."
"I'm talking about...... Those original drawings. Xiahou Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said word by word.
Ge Heng blinked blankly: "Those drawings provided by your Shu Han?" ”
"By the way, I'm talking about those drawings." Xiahou Xuan took Ge Heng's hand: "Isn't there?" ”
"In, in." Ge Heng nodded again and again: "Those drawings are top secrets, and if they are placed in the safest place, even if the shipyard burns, they will not be damaged." ”
"Then I'll be relieved." Xiahou Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily.
Under the leadership of Ge Heng, the drawings soon reached Xiahou Xuan's hands. Xiahou Xuan looked at the handwriting that was somewhat similar to Wei Ba, but it was more old and calm, as if he had picked up a treasure. He flipped through it and asked, "Do you know where the drawings for the stone bomb making machinery are?" ”
Ge Heng shook his head: "These drawings are not in Yuzhang, they are in Wujun and Danyang, and the original drawings should be in the palace of Wuchang." These drawings were used urgently, and I didn't have time to rewrite them, so I sent the originals directly. Ge Heng was a little frustrated: "However, we hurried and hurried, but we still couldn't catch up." ”
"That's providence." Xiahou Xuan patted Ge Heng on the shoulder: "Ge Jun, don't have any regrets, you will soon meet the inventor of these drawings." Talk to him and you'll find that there's an extra sky in front of your eyes. ”
"General Zhennan...... Is it really that clever? Ge Heng asked a little sneeringly.
"It's definitely more than you can imagine."
……
When Pi Erding came to the Yuzhang shipyard slowly, he saw the battle flag of the Shu Han army fluttering in the wind, and all the problems in his body were suddenly cured, and he strode into the camp and announced the order of the truce. Deng Ai and Xiahou Xuan bowed down to receive the order, saying that they would immediately stop attacking Nanchang and prepare to withdraw their troops.
It's Yi listless, Yuzhang Shipyard is finished, what does it matter when the army is withdrawn, unless Wei Ba really wants to capture Nanchang and take Luling and Yuzhang into his pocket. Judging by the current situation, he does not yet have such conditions. Xiahou Xuan and Deng Ai can only play the role of a surprise attack, and it seems that their target is Yuzhang Shipyard.
This is easy to understand, destroying the Yuzhang Shipyard is to destroy the foundation of Wu Guo's meritorious service. Without warships, what does Wu rely on to control the Yangtze River, this natural danger has been controlled by Wei Ba, and it has become Wei Ba's swimming pool, and he can come whenever he wants.
The state of Wu has not died, but it is not much different from the dead.
Shi Yi was depressed, but she had to negotiate with Xiahou Xuan. After the two Shu Han armies met, Xiahou Xuan became the natural commander, and he was also responsible for the negotiations, with Zhuge Dan and Deng Ai assisting. Deng Ai didn't talk much, mainly by the two famous men Xiahou Xuan and Zhuge Dan, who were talking and bargaining. However, Xiahou Xuan and others also understood that although Deng Ai was a stammer, the relationship between him and Wei Ba was not shallow, and this time he was a blockbuster, showing his extraordinary ability to use troops, and there was no doubt that he would be reused by Wei Ba.
Xiahou Xuan knew very well that the sailors could achieve such a big victory, on the one hand, with Zhou Yin's secret assistance, and on the other hand, because they had absolute strength, as long as they did not make mistakes, it was expected to crush the Wu army. Deng Ai is different, he led 8,000 people who were all new soldiers he had just trained, and he was able to achieve such results with real skills. In terms of military ability, they can't be compared with Deng Ai at all.
From this point alone, they have to admit that Wei Ba's eyesight is extraordinary. Based on this understanding, Xiahou Xuan had an in-depth discussion with Deng Ai before the negotiation to see how to maximize the benefits.
Deng Ai made a suggestion, borrowing Poyang Lake from Sun Quan on the grounds that the Jiaozhou Sailor needed to recuperate, and obtained the navigation rights of the Yangtze River to control this vital waterway, so that Wei Ba could use the economy to drag down Wu's strategy.
Xiahou Xuan's shooting case is amazing...... (To be continued......)
