readx;?? In this water battle in Jishui, the Lou Chuanshi troops under Zhang Jiashi only sent a detachment fleet with medium-sized ships as the main force to launch an offensive. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info（.. (Starter)

Although the combat effectiveness of these medium-sized ships is not too low, in terms of the corresponding supporting facilities, they are far inferior to the large ships that are gradually installed by the Lou Shippers Army.

However, the troops of the Qi fleet were not at all aware of the objectives of this Liaodong military building, and the commander of the fleet mistakenly believed that the target of these fleets was the grain they stored in the ports on both sides of the strait, and ordered the ships to block the ports.

This tactic is not a mistake, but the commander of the Qi fleet has made a mistake, that is, these warships of the Liaodong Army do not care about the transportation of grain, but plan to send the nearby Qi fleet into Jishui to feed the fish.

Approaching the autumn harvest, although the grain and straw equipment stored in the two ports were burned, it was possible to receive a temporary success, but it was not necessarily that the Qi country did not have enough grain and grass to maintain the supply of the army after the autumn harvest.

Therefore, paying some costs and inflicting heavy damage or even total annihilation of the Qi fleet is a more efficient method of warfare.

Qin Min made such a combat arrangement to estimate this problem.

Although the shipbuilding industry of Qi is not bad, at such a time, it is undoubtedly very difficult for the current Qi country to rebuild new ships of corresponding scale.

......

After encircling the Qi fleet in the middle on the east and west sides of Jishui, the flag bearer on the bow of a medium-sized warship of the Lou Chuan Sergeant Force quickly waved the flag, asking the ships on the opposite side to send a part of their ships to besiege the Qi fleet on the south bank.

Soon, the standard-bearer of the Lou Boat Sergeant unit on the opposite side also responded. Soon, dozens of medium-sized warships of the Lou Chuanshi army besieged the Qi fleet located on the south bank of Jishui from the east and west.

There were several new types of medium-sized warships, which were ordered by Zhang Jiashi to try to make a new type of warship with reference to a style of battleships that he said was similar to the style of battleships that gradually became mainstream in the West after the fourteenth century.

Unlike the warships of the Qin State, which still accounted for a large proportion of the Fu ships and the Lou Ship Soldiers, these new medium-sized warships had a stone thrower on the bow and stern. In the middle of the ship, on both sides of the side of the ship and on both sides of the cabin on the next floor, more than a dozen windows were dug out to serve as the positions of the crossbow angles of the bed.

Rather than directly following the group and attacking the enemy fleet, these new ships approached the enemy for some distance, and the sailman quickly operated the sails and placed the ship horizontally.

Among these warships, on the side of the hull facing the Qi fleet, the windows that had been locked were opened, and the medium-sized bed crossbows were pushed to the rear of the windows. The non-commissioned officers and men of the building boat who operated the bed crossbow quickly pulled the crossbow string, and then put the metal bed crossbow made of bronze in front of it, wrapped it with oilcloth, and placed it in the crossbow groove.

Another soldier lit a torch and then a crossbow tarpaulin.

"Put !!"

Accompanied by the order of a commander who commanded the non-commissioned officers and men of these buildings, the officers and men operating the crossbow strings quickly deducted the bed crossbow.

Suddenly, on the side of a medium-sized warship, at an interval of less than a breath, multiple bed crossbows were launched, and crossbows like flame meteors flew straight into the Qi flotilla about two hundred meters away.

Then, on the side of the ship, dozens of crossbowmen fired their crossbows at the enemy.

All of a sudden, on the Jishui River near dusk, a ** Mars was reflected on the surface of the river.

The ships of the Qi State that were hit were constantly screaming, and there were also ships whose hulls were gradually ignited by the oil cloths on the crossbows after being shot through the board of the ship by various crossbows.

Compared to the fact that the hull of the ship was gradually ignited, it was not too serious, and the Qi ** people on the Qi fleet were also desperately fighting the fire, and they were gradually shot into a sieve, and the sails that burned quickly were the most fatal part of these ships of the Qi fleet.

Perhaps there are a small number of ships in the Qi fleet, which have oars to assist in moving, and their dependence on sails is not too high. But the vast majority of Qi ships, after the sails were blazing, simply did not have enough movement to cope with what happened next.

Compared with the new-style medium-sized warships of the Lou Chuannon Corps, which used lateral tactics to gain firepower superiority, the relatively old Daqinzhong warship formation, a large number of officers and soldiers on board gathered in front of the ships, constantly aligning the national fleet to carry out rocket fire.

Their goal was to prioritize killing a small number of enemies on Qi warships who were still able to counterattack.

In contrast to the fact that the new-type warships basically do not have a fixed target, once some of the non-commissioned officers and men of the Lou Boat saw some Qi warships launching rockets or other attacks, the rain of arrows of these non-commissioned officers and men of the Lou Boat fired at the other side one after another.

But in this kind of battle, it is impossible for the Lou Ship Sergeant unit to be unscathed.

Rockets or crossbows and arrows on both sides fired at each other like flying locusts, and several medium-sized warships in front of the fleet suffered heavy casualties.

And their sails were shot one after another.

As a last resort, the commanders of these ships could only order the sail handlers to cut the ropes of the sails directly, so that the masts of the ships would not be "affected by the fire of the sails".

Although it is a hassle to change the back sails, once these masts are burned out, then the ship basically loses its ability to move.

In such a situation, the ship that has lost its sails is in a sense already in a state of semi-withdrawal from the war.

Because it can only rely on the rudder tail fin to barely adjust the direction in the direction of the current, so as not to directly collide with the ships of the Qi fleet, the ship is basically in a semi-out of control state.

......

With the passage of time, many of the ships of the Qi fleet, located on the south bank of Jishui, even directly ignited a raging fire.

In the land and water area near this port on the south bank of Jishui, there are constantly people who know the nature of water swimming from Jishui to the shore, while those who do not know the nature of water jump off the water after jumping off the water of Jishui on a boat that has already burned, and in less than a few minutes, they disappear directly on the surface of the water that seems to be a fiery red.

Qin Junlou's troops, there was an old medium-sized warship that was also burning, and when the fire was out of control, the captain of this ship could only order the crew to use the lifeboat to escape or even jump directly into the water.

He didn't want to give such an order, but the fire started in the middle and lower part of the ship, which was difficult for them to extinguish, and the captain could only grit his teeth and give such an order after hearing that many places in the cabin had been affected.

However, he would not let these Qi ** people who had sunk the ships that he had already developed some feelings feel good about.

After ordering the ship's crew to dive, he and the helmsman controlled the rudder to move the ship as far as possible to hit the harbor with the current.

The captain of this building boat is a hundred generals of the Qin army, and he is the last person to leave this ship. After the rest of the group had boarded the last boat, he glanced at the growing fire in front of him on the left side of the boat, shook his head and sighed, and climbed the rope net to the boat that had landed in the water.

Many of these Qin warships were gradually manufactured after the establishment of Liaodong shipbuilding. Not to mention the few new-type warships that have turned back I don't know how many times they have turned back, constantly relying on the striking surface on the side of the hull to launch rockets at enemy ships near the port, and even some of the older Great Qin Empire-style warships have used the design of watertight cabins. In terms of sinking resistance, it is much better than these various ships of the Qi fleet.

The Qin warship, which was getting more and more intense, crashed directly into the port. And the Qi army in the port didn't know what was going on, and basically could only watch the other party crash into one of the wooden causeways.

Eventually, the ship's ship, after crashing into the causeway, crashed into the main building of the harbor again......

In less than ten minutes, this port burned directly because the Qi army in the port failed to fight the fire.

It's also a kind of luck-led thing. After all, this warship, which is no longer operated, may deviate to other directions even if it encounters even the slightest blockage that is enough to change course, that is, it is impossible to gradually burn this port so simply.

......

The time was almost dusk, and the fleet of Qi on the south bank of Jishui had basically been resolved. In addition to a large number of ships that are still stubbornly floating on the surface of the Jishui River, a considerable number of ships of the Qi convoy gradually sank because of the severity of the burning, causing a large amount of river water to pour into the cabin.

However, not all ships were completely submerged in the water, and some of the ships that were relatively close to the river bank were paralyzed in the lower water, and if it were not for the still quite obvious blackened charcoal marks, I am afraid that these ships would have been thought to have run aground directly.

Now that the Qi fleet in the south has been solved, and the port has been ignited, and there seems to be no way to save the surprise, the Lou Shipwreak troops will certainly not give up the plan of beating the water dogs.

......

In contrast to the almost one-sided battle situation in the south, the Lou Chuanshi troops of the Qi State fleet besieging the north can be said to have fought even harder.

Because after a period of time, the commander of the Qi fleet, saw the increasingly fierce fire and the thicker and denser black smoke in the south bank area, and he directly ordered the warship troops in the northern port to rescue the southern side.

Fierce battles broke out between the two sides on the banks of the river on the north bank of the Jishui River, a few dozen meters away from each other, and two or three hundred meters away.

Because there were not many ships attacking Jishui this time, and the main force first besieged the Qi fleet on the south bank. These ships in the north blocking the Qi convoy did not have any advantage in numbers.

When the building boat troops on the south bank did not have support, the warships of the building boat soldiers on the north side were more or less attacked to a certain extent.

Three ships had even reached the point where they had to abandon them.

However, the fate of Qi's fleet was much more miserable. Among the more than a dozen warships of various types attacked, three ship-level warships were the focus of the siege. Because many of the building ships are equipped with things like stone throwers.

In the bed crossbow and heavy crossbow on the ship of the Lou Boat Sergeant Unit, a building ship was burned out of a large hole in the waterline less than an hour after the start of the battle, and it sank seriously into the water.

The fate of the other two ships was not much better, and when the sails had already been burned, the speed at which these buildings were already "miserable" fell to the point of crawling like a turtle.

Soon, after the sinking of the first building ship, the two building ships sank two or three hundred meters away from the north shore of Jishui in less than half an hour.

At this time, the warship formation of the Qi State, with less than half of the small and medium-sized ships, was still able to maintain a certain combat capability.

Others have either sunk into the water to feed the fish, or have had to retreat to the harbor, barely breathing.

In the battle so far, although the losses of the Lou Chuanmen unit, who were responsible for besieging the fleet on the north shore, were not too many on the surface, in fact, the officers and men on more than a dozen ships suffered quite heavy casualties. After all, in terms of strength comparison, although the quality of the officers and soldiers of the Qi army's warships is not as good as that of the officers and soldiers of the upstairs ships, it is not too far behind. After all, Qi is a region with a fairly developed waterway network, and there are far more people who are good at water than people in Liaodong County. If it weren't for the absolute superiority in training, I am afraid that the foundation of these soldiers in water warfare alone would not have been cheap at all.

......

With the gradual passage of time, the sun is slowly setting, and the battle in the waters near the north bank of Jishui has not yet entered the point of separating the winner and loser.

However, at this time, the fighters on the remnants of the ships of the Qi State Warship Force, which was even more difficult to support, looked at it with tired eyes and despair, and the number of ships of the Liaodong Military Building Boatmen Corps coming from the south bank became more and more clear.

General Qi Guo, who was in charge of commanding the fleet to fight, knew very well that the battle had reached such a point......

He could never return to heaven......

......

After the end of this Jishui water battle, the fleet of Qi gathered on both sides of the Jishui River was annihilated. The troops of the Lou boat soldiers who raided Jishui suffered more than 1,000 casualties and sank seven ships.

However, losses alone don't tell much about it. Such a loss cannot be said to be completely ignored by the Liaodong Army, but the Qi State can no longer provide grain and straw equipment for the main force of the princes' army in Julu City in a short period of time, and such a loss is completely worth it.

In a sense, the coalition of princes has lost its strategic initiative.

At the very least, the Chu army, which was barely able to maintain its own military food supply, had no room to lend a helping hand for such an accident......

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

Zhang Jiashi replied to Qin Min's letter, directly encouraging and ordering Xiao He to reward the officers and soldiers of the Lou Boat Sergeant Unit who participated in this battle. Generous compassion is given to the war dead or wounded.

After Zhang Jiashi let the herald rest and let him return to Qin Min, looking at the background of the other party leaving the camp, Zhang Jiashi showed a relaxed expression.

The impact of such a thing may not be visible in such three or five days. After all, in the fortress of the more than 200,000 troops, there is no food at all, it is impossible.

However, in three or five days, it may take a little longer, and such a problem will inevitably emerge and even erupt.

At that time, the main forces of the three major princes, who were increasingly short of military food, might have to take the initiative to seek a decisive battle.

Zhang Jiashi was not worried about the rabble of these princes' armies taking the initiative to attack. He is just worried that the other party will always shrink into his "turtle shell".

Zhang Jiashi didn't think that these rabble could have much combat effectiveness in a field situation, but in turn let him take the initiative to attack the opponent's barriers. Forget it, it's not a good deal at all.

The combat effectiveness of the rabble is not high, but if it is used to defend the city, it is a question of whether the combat effectiveness is high or not.

It is impossible for him to let the main force under his command suffer very huge losses in such a way of fighting with the other party.

"I don't know how long the other party can endure it? However, Tian Heng and those people can't bear it, in fact, it's not the most critical place, if Zhang Han himself gets rid of it first, I'm afraid I won't end well. ”

Zhang Jiashi supported his cheeks with his hands, looked at the map spread in front of him, which marked the location of Thorn Plain, and shook his head helplessly:

"Zhang Han, don't blame me, now we are all grasshoppers on the same rope, if there is really any problem, you will not end well, but I'm afraid I'm about the same. ”

Zhang Jiashi, who muttered such a sentence to himself, slowly stood up and walked towards the area behind the tent......

......

Zhang Han didn't know about this matter, and Zhang Jiashi didn't send anyone to tell him, because in Zhang Jiashi's heart, the more Zhang Han's combat power was lost, the more beneficial it would be for him in a sense.

The battle of the giant deer has reached such a point, and it is not too important who wins and who loses.

And for Zhang Jiashi, who was not originally trying to win or lose, it was the most important thing for him to consume the strength of the princes' alliance and the two friendly armies that obeyed the orders of Xianyang in this place at a small cost.

After Zhang Han fought with the Chu army, the news of a small defeat was informed by Dong Fei's henchmen to Zhang Jiashi. Knowing such a result, Zhang Jiashi, after letting people take this biography to rest, fell into contemplation.

According to Dong Peng's description, the combat effectiveness of this group of Chu troops is not high on the whole, but in the case of the Chu army, which can be regarded as a fierce general, this small defeat is a blow to the command system of Zhang Han's army, and it is even undoubtedly a big defeat.

After Zhang Jiashi conveyed such a news to the civil and military forces under his command, there was not much movement.

Although Chen Ping and Sun Po didn't know much about Zhang Jiashi's situation, they knew that Zhang Jiashi probably had something they didn't know very well, or what Zhang Jiashi's plans were.

They guessed correctly, after Zhang Jiashi asked the others to return to his camp to deal with things, he left the two of them alone and handed Qin Min's book to the two of them to browse.

After reading this thing, Chen Ping and Sun Po were very surprised. They won't be unaware of what this Jane's war report represents.

The coalition of more than 200,000 princes they are facing is afraid that after a period of time, they will take the initiative to attack.

But there was no surprise in Zhang Jiashi's expression, which made the two have to think deeply.

Soon, the two of them thought of the key. Because once Zhang Han is defeated, the advantages created by Qin Min's soldiers will be gone.

The two didn't know what to say, and Zhang Jiashi looked at the place of Thorn Plains at this time and fell into contemplation again......
