Battle of Hanning6 Section 43
Section 43 These building ships naturally knew that the other party was powerful, and in a panic, the wolf retreated, but now there were more than a dozen ships blocked behind them, and if these ships were in volume and tonnage, they naturally could not be compared with the building ships. But it is used to slow down the retraction speed of the building ship, which is another matter. The building ship was not as fast as the fire-breathing ship, and at this time, it was blocked by these ships, and it was able to withdraw there. Several fire-breathing boats rushed up from both sides, and the tongues of fire at the front end came out together, only to hear the screams of the boats rolling in with the river wind, and after a while, thick smoke came out. The soldiers above rolled off the ship like dumplings.
The warships in the enemy's rear slowly pressed up, and there were several rounds of arrows, and after only a short while, there were no living creatures to be found on several buildings, only thick smoke billowed out.
Wu Ming only felt cold sweat on his forehead, and his back was cold, and he was sweating like pulp. During this time, I studied the "Twenty-four Questions on the March" every day, and everyone praised me. Privately, I thought that I really deserved the name of wisdom and bravery, but at this time, I felt that the battlefield was ever-changing, and it was far from being able to win by using a set of military books.
A famous general, there are too many things to take into account, coordinate scheduling, and deal with all kinds of unexpected possibilities. Although Li Tie is not familiar with water warfare, he used this surprise attack to recover his disadvantage and focus on the enemy. And if he was Zhu Huai, this surprise attack by the enemy would make him mess up. It was only at this time that Wu Ming knew that he still had a lot to learn if he wanted to become a handsome man on his own.
"Is the enemy coming? There, let me see. β
Wu Ming turned his head to look, and saw that Zhu Xiaolong had already gone to the city at some point, holding a spear, stretching his neck and looking. Behind him was a large group of martial artists. Although these martial arts students have all graduated and nominally belong to the Guards Battalion, the war has been tight recently, and Wu Ming has not gone to hand over it, so he is still living in the academy these days. looked at Zhu Xiaolong as he looked like he was not afraid of the sky and the earth. Wu Ming shouted: "Go back quickly, this is not a place to watch a play, it is very dangerous." β
Zhu Xiaolong said: "Whoever watched the play, the eldest husband made great contributions, it is at this time." The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. As he spoke, he handed the gun to his left hand and danced a flower. A powerful look.
Wu Ming couldn't cry or laugh, snatched his spear, and said loudly: "Protecting the family and defending the country is naturally something that adults do, you are a little child, what are you mixing blindly." Let's wait two years longer and graduate. β
Zhu Xiaolong's face turned red, he opened his mouth, and was about to argue a few more words, when a burst of cheers suddenly erupted from the city.
Did the enemy retreat? Wu Ming was puzzled, and looked up to see that the smoke and waves on the river were vast, and those few building ships were very huge, and for a while, how could the fire be stopped. A few thick clouds of smoke blew in the wind, and they swooped down on the enemy like demons. Most of the enemy's large sailing ships are connected together every ten, and it is not easy to dodge. At this time, he was blocked by several building ships, and he was hiding in a panic. A few sailboats were unable to dodge and crashed into the ship, and the sails on them were also ablaze. Some soldiers are shouting to push the boat away, and others are lowering their spinnakers to extinguish the fire. The enemy's ship's position was blocked by this, and there was a great confusion.
In this way, several other Southern Han warships found an opportunity to escape. Wu Ming looked at the chaotic enemy army in Jiang's heart, but he couldn't be happy in his heart. This fire, after all, has become unweathered, at most it will stop the other side, and on the entire river, the enemy ships are already like a tide, and the black pressure is pressed towards the south bank. A two-headed protruding assault formation was formed.
Suddenly, the middle lane navy of the Northern Han Dynasty actually slowed down, and his heart tightened, could it be that the other party had already noticed his biggest weakness and changed through this matter? If that's the case, it's really hard to say between the gains and losses.
β»β»β»Wang Zhiqing stood proudly at the bow of the ship. Looking at the Jiangnan building boat that turned into billowing smoke on the river, I couldn't help frowning. The tallest of this thing can reach more than a dozen feet, and it almost does not use the power of sails. If this is placed above the sea, first of all, there is no maneuvering, and secondly, it will not be able to withstand the wind. It's useless. Born on the river, it is rampant, which is really speechless. Perhaps, the Blue City Lord is right, there is still a difference between this inland water battle and the sea water battle.
By this time, the dhows ahead had already extinguished the fire. Wang Zhiqing said in a deep voice: "Raise the flag and ask about the casualties." "Fighting on the water, the flag during the day and the light at night. The lantern whisperer was the old man of the Le Lang Water Master, and he was also his personal soldier. Hearing this, he responded, "Yes." He danced the flag in his hand a few times, and after a while, the flag in front of him replied. The soldier turned his head and said, "General, the four of them were accidentally slightly burned by the fire." But because the ten sailing ships were connected together, and the sails of eight of them were ignited, I am afraid that the power of the ships was greatly reduced, and they could not participate in the battle. β
Wang Zhiqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the fire was not very big, and the soldiers responded in time. Otherwise, with so many ships stacked on top of each other, if the other side also sent fire-breathing ships to attack, I am afraid that it would become a sea of fire.
Suddenly, he was shaken. Jiangnan naturally does not have a fire-breathing ship, but the way of using troops is ever-changing, and the other party can attack with fire in other ways. He looked far away, and saw that above the river, there were already pieces of white sails in the north, and the entire river was already covered with his own warships, and he couldn't help but shiver.
When the soldier saw him hear his own message, his whole body trembled. He was surprised: "General, what's wrong with you?" Is there any discomfort there? β
Wang Zhiqing calmed down and said urgently: "Immediately order the three armies to suspend the advance." Prepare a fast boat to take me to the Captain. β
The soldier was a little baffled, but he still passed the order, and in a short time a light boat came from the rear. The two men got on the boat, immediately turned the bow of the boat, and headed for the base camp in the rear.
This kind of light boat was originally tied to the back of a large ship, and was used for temporary escape or emergency relief. The bow of the boat is pointed, and it can only accommodate a maximum of five people. The speed is naturally extremely fast, and at this time, it shuttles freely in the gaps of various large boats, and it is even more slippery like an oil fish. It's just that Wang Zhiqing was anxious, and he still urged again and again. Now in this kind of formation, the opponent only has to come to the last fire attack, and the consequences are unimaginable.
He gave such an order suddenly, and all the soldiers were a little baffled. At this time, seeing him hurrying towards the camp, there was a lot of discussion. If the other party burns a fire, it is now afternoon, and the southeast wind is urgent, it is estimated that most people will have no bones. He thought, and his heart was even more anxious.
The boat traveled all the way, and after a while, it approached the Chinese army in Shuizhai, which was composed of five giant boats nearly twenty zhang long strung together. From a distance, it looks like a row of towering hills, even if it is far away, it is still very eye-catching.
Before he got close, a leaf boat came in front of him, and a ** who looked like a soldier on it shouted: "Lord Taiwei has sent a message, and immediately ask Lord Wang to go to the discussion." β
Wang Zhili smiled bitterly and said in his heart: "It seems that the Taiwei is already dissatisfied with his own inaction, but if he is still bored, I am afraid he will die faster." He replied loudly: "Lead the way, I have something important to tell the Captain." β
In this raid, Li Tie also took a big risk, just hoping to attack the south by surprise, and he was even more in charge of the Chinese army, just hoping to be able to go down with a drum, but the boat traveled in the river, but the front army stopped. After a little inquiry, it was a military order from Wang Zhiqing, the governor of the naval army, and he was immediately furious, if it weren't for the water war and relying on this person, he would have ordered this guy to be cut down a long time ago.
Wang Zhiqing had just grabbed the gangway and climbed to the deck, when he saw Li Tiezheng slap the side of the ship, the boat was made of oak, which was naturally extremely hard, but at this time, he slapped a large piece of it. His heart sank, and he hurriedly stepped forward, half-knelt on the ground and said, "Lord Taiwei, the criminal general Wang Zhiqing has something to say." β
Li Tie glanced at him with a pair of narrow eyes, and said coldly: "Lord Wang, I ordered you to press at full speed, why did you stop?" β
Although Wang Zhiqing didn't raise his head, he still felt that the cold hairs on his whole body stood on end, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and stammered: "Lord Taiwei, now the southeast wind is urgent, if the other party uses fire to attack, our ships will be connected, and the consequences will be terrible." It was with this in mind that the last general immediately ordered to stop moving forward and immediately reported it. β
Li Tie was shocked, obviously Wang Zhiqing's words also touched him greatly. He groaned for a while, and said coldly: "General Wang, the old man also knows that you are very dissatisfied with my fingers, but for the sake of the way, the order is forbidden, even if it is wrong, it is also done, and the most taboo order is not the same." You're committing a big taboo by doing this today. Now that our army has come out of the nest, even if the other party has this plan, it must be caught off guard, you are so delayed, aren't you giving the other party time to prepare? β
The cold sweat on Wang Zhiqing's forehead trickled down, and Li Tie's words were like a slap in the face, which made him suddenly sober up, and his head hung lower: "The end will be a capital crime." β
Li Tie held back the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send an order to the whole army, press at full speed, the right army is looking for a landing point in the upper reaches of Nanning, and the waiting plane will land and attack the west city wall of Nanning." As the main force of the attack, the Chinese army prepared water ladders and ladders, ready to seize the head of Nanning at any time. The left army must withstand the reinforcements from the opponent's water city, and the whole army will attack immediately. β
"Yes." A herald beside him answered, and then waved the flag.
After Li Tie finished deploying these, he suddenly felt tired. Now that he is riding a tiger, he has to fight, and I hope luck can be on my side. He looked at Wang Zhiqing, who was still kneeling on the deck, waved his hand and said, "General Wang, you go down, I hope you will make meritorious contributions, Nanning City will not go down, and you don't have to come back." β
Wang Zhiqing regretted that he wanted to die, although others were born like a black tower, but they were naturally cautious and afraid of death. Unexpectedly, this time he pushed himself to the fire pit instead, he gritted his teeth, got up from the ground, and said loudly with red eyes: "Sin will be ordered." β
