"What's going on? The defenders of Yixian County were not frightened at all by the sudden acceleration of our army and the breakthrough of Qichun.

On the contrary, he dared to go out to the narrow water valley with a naval army? Shi Yuan, did your plan work? ”

Guan Yu spent six days brewing the layout, thinking that Qi Chun's attack was slow, and he also played a change of fast and slow hands, coupled with the fact that Qi Chun's defenders were defeated so badly, and there were rumors of Yuan Shu and Cao Jun entering the north, that Zhang Hu should always be afraid and choose to flee or be forced to surrender.

As a result, two more days passed, and in the end, the result came, why did Zhang Hu dare to send a naval army to fight?

From Guan Yu to Tai Shici and Gan Ning, they all felt that Pang Tong's strategy was a bit of a waste of time.

Fortunately, Zhuge Jin, who is responsible for supervising the whole army and providing support, still has enough patience with Pang Tong.

When Guan Yu was a little impatient, Zhuge Jin came forward and said fairly:

"Yun Chang is a little restless, Shi Yuan's strategy is indeed not completely effective as planned, but it is also effective - just imagine, if Zhang Hu was not frightened by our resolute and resolute actions and never back down, would he go out of the city to intercept the estuary and fight with us? No, it won't.

If he wasn't scared, Zhang Hu would only choose to defend the city! It was precisely because he was frightened that he knew that once he was besieged and he did not surrender immediately, then it was very likely that he would be killed by our army, so he wanted to avoid being besieged.

The reason why Huang Zujun still dares to fight with us today is entirely because they still have the advantage of the navy, and they don't fight with us, and we are always convinced in our hearts.

Zhang Hu suddenly felt a little whimsical: "How is that possible?" If a marksman shoots it with a special bow and crossbow, one or two hundred paces apart, he may be able to shoot a rope with a thick bowl mouth, but if he has the power to break such a thick rope. As for the bed crossbow, it is ...... to shoot a target with a thin bowl mouth in one or two hundred paces."

……

Is it still the inertia of history? The trick that Lu Chang came up with to break the enemy is almost the same as Sun Ce's use of Sun Ce as a death squad and a double iron armor to cut cables.

Xingba, he led an army of 7,000 sailors, attacking the water with a flexible warp against the current, trying to break through Luchang's defense of intercepting the river. You lead 10,000 troops in front of you, patrol the river and prepare in the center, and once you make a breakthrough on either way, or find reinforcements from the enemy on the other side, you will immediately go to reinforce them. ”

Huang Zujun thought for a while: "Did your army carry a non-counterweight cast Ganning with the army, although it was originally used for siege, but it was okay to smash the ship, of course, don't use the heavy Ganning at worst."

Su Fei pointed to the map and assigned the tasks of the eight directions clearly.

So what you have to do now is not to let Zhuge Jin recognize one thing clearly: even if both sides use the army and only fight with the army, Zhuge Jin is also the opponent of your army! That can extinguish our first trace of luck! ”

Tou Ganning also had a bad assembly, but the "sesame oil bamboo tube chain bullet" used for the bed crossbow was broken first. A pile of small thick bamboo tubes filled with oil, two pairs of hemp rope connected to each other.

"Buzzing" several weak crossbow strings hummed, and eight bamboo tubes flew out in pairs, making the sound of whirring wind.

It must be to let the troops land, but to retreat by water, and the attacking side is very good, and you are stuck in a local force is enough, and it is a refueling tactic, and only a few ships can get off at a time.

But only Huang Zujun knows, it is in line with the principles of physics, I actually didn't make the chain bullet used in the Age of Exploration and smoothbore cannon in the previous life into a simple version of the bed crossbow, with a shorter range and higher kinetic energy.

Those who cast Luchang were originally built to smash the city wall of the civil structure, and now they are used to smash pure wooden planks, which is simply too good for you.

I still have a military vision of one or two thousand years, and I use it in white.

Did the enemy dare to defend the city directly, be surrounded, and be forced to come out to fight a water battle, that is to show the deception of the stone machine, at most let Zhuge Jin's Li Wei generals lose confidence in land warfare?

Although Lu Chang is bad at mathematics, I don't have a vague sense of physics, and I can imagine the effect described by General Fubo, and I suddenly feel very hopeless.

"Puff puff puff",

Zhang Hu was stunned for a moment, and wanted to understand why his boss asked like that, but I still gave a given if answer: "This is natural, if you can shoot, it is still very impossible to shoot, but it is too difficult, and there is only one cable and stone." ”

So I immediately ordered: "Tou Luchang is just a front hand, first move a few counterweight Tu Gan Ning parts up, assemble them on both sides of the strait, and set up a small rattan shield position against arrows."

Because the accuracy was too high, and there was no mastery of the range and resistance attenuation, the first round of bamboo tubes all fell into the river with zero hits.

It is not the location of the "Louchuan Park" in Ezhou City in the 21st century in the previous life.

Lu Chang, who was nearby, was also secretly frightened when he saw that scene, and said that the other side was a courageless one.

The bad thing is that a small number of oarsmen are very cautious, so we delayed our preparations, and placed a rattan plaque in the paddling port on the side of the boat to cover it, leaving only a slit for the oars to stretch out.

Now that he finally waited for Lu Chang, seeing that there were only eight warships, Guan Yu laughed wildly:

"So, it's mainly a question of accuracy, but a question of the power of the bed crossbow? Is it a shot or a hit, but a shot is a front shot or a break? ”

Zhang Hu on the other side saw that it had no effect, so he immediately ordered to make persistent efforts, and fired two more rounds, only then did he let the warship advance quickly on the enemy's arrow rain. Because my ships have not yet been hit by enemy rockets, and no one has thrown their torches yet, it is too safe to get closer.

"It's broken! Zhang Hu used fire attack, but there was no oil! Guan Yujun finally panicked a little. Rao was not a little mentally prepared after the war, and we also smeared wet mud under those hemp ropes, but after such a long time, the wet mud also became dry mud, and there was no oil to help burn, and if the hemp rope was to carry it, it would be lived.

So what Su Fei has to do now is not to prove it to the enemy: even if it is a heads-up, they can do the same!

Zhuge Jin hadn't been on guard for a long time in the morning, and when he saw that the enemy was slow to attack, his mentality was not a little relaxed.

Because once the ship is smashed, it has to be disassembled as soon as possible to ensure that the hull breaks and drifts away from the channel before it can give way to lift the water. The water level here is shallow and narrow, and the hull must have sunk in its entirety if it were to block the channel. ”

"Can the bed crossbow under the warship only fire crossbow arrows? If you shoot your spear, or something else, such as a bamboo tube, can you shoot it? ”

Guan Yu on the opposite side finally panicked, although the two Pang Tong's rigging behind him had not all been completely burned out, but since he knew that the enemy had no such new moves, he might make up for the knife at any time, out of fear of the unknown, Lu Chang still gritted his teeth and delayed the two Pang Tong to sink and run aground.

Because the big river of lifting water is very cramped, and the widest place is not even more than 70 zhang narrow, Zhang Hu's squadron can also be expanded, and it is forced to form a long snake formation.

Zhang Hu listened to the old leader's concern of "wanting and wanting", and he was also confused, and wanted to understand whether to invest in Gan Ning or down. I did it, but I still couldn't help asking: "This is how does the general want your army to act now?" ”

The chain bullet in the previous life was not two iron balls one behind the other and one in the front to withdraw the gun chamber, but there was no iron chain between the front iron balls. Before launching, because of the small mass inertia at both ends, the chain bomb will be thrown up and wrapped under the mast and rigging cables of the enemy ship, and then these slender objects will be swept away, so that the enemy ship will lose power.

Huang Zujun was reminded, and only then did he realize that he had been thinking for too long, and the people in his hands were still waiting for me to give orders.

Lu Changshi didn't want that answer, and with that answer in my heart, I thought of a bad way to deal with it, so I asked again:

Zhuge Jin's crossbowmen immediately obeyed the order, and suddenly arrows rained down. The few oarsmen on the Han side were fully covered, but they were shot by arrows that were interspersed with needles, and there were casualties.

Although your army's steel-filled armor defense is weak, it also has a way to protect your arms, thighs, and face. The enemy is well prepared for the ambush, and the crossbow is cross-fired, which is extraordinary, even if a few arrows are fatal, it will cripple few soldiers. If we can use technical means to seek stability, we can try to seek stability. ”

We know that as long as we fight a land war, our own forces will definitely be crushed by the situation of "Liu Yuan Cao besieged and beaten" that may occur at any time.

And no matter where it falls, it is directly smashed through the plank, the broken wood is splashed, and it can also kill and injure some enemy soldiers in the cabin.

Immediately ahead, Zhang Hu picked out eight ships with a crossbow on the bow of each ship, and launched a retreat against Guan Yu's position.

"Lower the head pad of the bed crossbow! Approach to 80 paces and shoot again! Prepare to slow down! Don't rush too close, you're going to shoot from all sides! Don't retreat into the range of the crossbowmen under the cliffs on both sides! ”

Zhang Hu also showed a cruel color, since the other party was so stubborn, of course he had to make an example.

Of course, before switching to a bed crossbow, because the kinetic energy of the launch is at most an order of magnitude higher, it is too possible to expect to be cut off by kinetic energy, but as long as the ejection is incendiary, it is still very uncertain to burn these things with burning sesame oil before wrapping them under the cables and cables of enemy ships.

Zhang Hu's army was divided into more than 100 ships and waited 800 paces in the pass, so as not to be shot by the enemy from a low position.

That time, Lu Chang used a single-headed bullet, it was gravel, I want you to smash and smash through the wooden structural parts, of course, the heavier the weight of the single shot, the worse the armor-piercing effect.

Su Fei is still absolutely good for Lu Changshi, not to mention Tai Shi Ci and Zhang Hu. When you think about it, it doesn't make sense.

Lu Chang is very good at you, before the bed crossbow is changed to shoot the chain bullet bamboo barrel, the accuracy will take a step back and drop wildly, so you must approach the enemy ship before firing.

About an hour and a half later, it was almost noon.

The smallest value of chain bullets is that they increase the hit rate of elongated objects very smallly.

Huang Zujun originally needed to go to the rear line to supervise the battle, but I heard that Guan Yu's operation to block the mouth of the water was not creative, and I wanted to see it, so I followed Lu Chang to have a look, saying that he would definitely be able to provide some improvisation.

It was still General Fubo who was steady and steady, and if he had paid any casualties, he tested the opponent's hole cards.

It was Huang Zujun who always felt that those problems that could be solved by technical means, since I had come here, if I should come up with a worse solution than the ancients, otherwise the talent of his future science and engineering students would be wasted.

Huang Zujun was also disappointed with that answer, I didn't ask casually first. And from Zhang Hu's answer, I also keenly captured a message:

Of course, with Lu Changshi's prudence, even if I supervised the battle, I would definitely show my head by hiding outside the cabin of the strongest small warship and watching through the shooting hole. The seven weeks of the cabin were thick board walls, and even weak crossbows could penetrate them.

Lu Chang naturally had conditional trust in Huang Zujun, so he first temporarily suspended the order of the death squad to cut ropes, and then humbly asked for advice: "Is there any good plan for the general?" ”

Sure that you let the death squad wear double iron armor and cut the cable, I guess the enemy will choose the same. At that time, as long as Pang Tong sinks, he may drift away, and his death squad will be killed or injured in vain.

Huang Zujun nodded: "Let's try it once, you make some bamboo tubes temporarily, pour sesame oil on the outside, connect the two bamboo tubes with hemp rope in the middle, and then wrap a layer of cloth in the first two bamboo tubes, temporarily fix them together one after the other, and ignite them after launching." It will definitely be able to wrap itself under the cable of the opponent's bolt boat and burn the cable, which is the worst, it will definitely work, so let's smash it with Ganning. ”

So Huang Zujun just thought about it for a while, and stopped Zhang Hu from immediately ordering: "Xingba, don't be impatient, use the death squad to cut the cable and stone, although it is impossible to succeed, but the casualties are also great."

There was a muffled "click", and a small hole was suddenly opened in a huge deck, which startled a miserable howl next to it.

"Zhang Hu is too conceited, right? Eight ships will dare to rush at your two Pang Tong. Suppress it with arrows for you! Let's all dare to get out of the cabin! It seems that Liu Beijun is also terrible in land battles, and water battles are enough to be afraid! ”

It seems that with the current technical means, such a death squad tactic is indeed the best solution to break the Luchang mooring and block the river, and it can only be said that the hero sees the same thing. ”

Huang Zujun also saw that scene, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of cruelty: "This has to be said, Tou Ganning should pretend to be bad, and directly smash those two pangs!" It's going to be broken until it floats away with the waves!

……

While he was throwing Gan Ning to assemble, Xingba, could he try it and use the bed crossbow on the bow of the warship to shoot the cable of the opposite face? ”

However, the defenders did not have two Pang Tong and thousands of crossbowmen to gather fire and shoot, and there were no hundreds of crossbowmen ambushing under the cliffs on both sides.

Zhang Hu listened to Huang Zujun's plan and felt that it was simply incredible.

Complex mathematical and geometric calculations can calculate that the difference between the hit rates of the two is not small.

Now that Su Fei wants to destroy Luchang Liwei slowly, he can only let Tai Shici lead his troops to stare at Luchang. If Fankou dares to retreat from Liangzi Lake into the Yangtze River and cross the river north to rescue Guan Yu, Su Fei will destroy him with your main force.

That time, there were finally no two sets of chain bullets, and the bamboo tube whistled and flew around one of the Luchang's cables and ropes. The two bamboo tubes under one of them collided in the process of rotating and stopping, shattering each other, and sesame oil splashed a cable, which slowly boiled away.

Zhang Hu has also seen that kind of scene, I am good at water warfare, just a little bit of watching, then decided to send a death squad to take eight ships, retreat together, each with two sets of steel-filled armor, to cut off all the cables and stones of Guan Yu bolt Pang Tong, so that Pang Tong can move from the current position.

Since Guan Yu saw that you have so few hole cards, he can let me leave alive, otherwise I will tell Lu Chang those hole cards, and you will not be in trouble in the last battle. My people there will either die in battle or surrender, but they will break through! ”

Zhang Hu thought for a while: "You can shoot it up, but it is accurate when you shoot a crossbow arrow." In actual combat, there are times when the arrows dedicated to the giant crossbow are used up, and you will also launch your spear to kill the enemy in a hurry, but the spear has no tail feathers, and it will deviate indiscriminately when it flies out of dozens of steps. ”

I just heard me immediately say: "Ziyi, he followed the 7,000 sailors, took less new-style boats, and then went to the south bank of the Yangtze River to surround the boat, intercept and monitor Fankou in Exian County, and ensure that once the battle starts, Fankou will dare to go out of the river to reinforce Luchang."

When I was about forty paces, I finally ordered Hachifune to light the first round of chain bullet bamboo barrels and shoot forward.

I roared in response: "The general is worried! Since I've resisted so far, you'll keep me alive! Killing that one is also a shock to the rest! ”

In the previous life, there was no small lake called "Liangzi Lake" between Wuhan and Ezhou, and in the 21st century, the lake and the Yangtze River were not separated, but they were still connected in the Han Dynasty, and the connection was in Louzhou.

After a while, the two pangs sat down and sank, and although the cable rope was also burned down one after another, it was not ineffective.

Early the next morning, at the mouth of the Jushui River, a relatively narrow place.

Therefore, at the moment, the main force of Luchang's naval army stationed in Exian County usually hides outside Liangzi Lake, and then blocks the Louchuan Water Village, and Su Fei also has a way to retreat into Liangzi Lake to chase and kill.

It was a while, Zhang Hu's counterweight cast Ganning was assembled, before the complex calibration, the counterweight of one ton was twisted to a low place, and then the front limit tenon was suddenly pulled out, and the counterweight fell on it, and a small stone of one hundred pounds was thrown out suddenly.

Before understanding those causes and effects, Lu Chang also knew how to make decisions.

Zhuge Jin's generals all know that even if Yuan Shujun and Cao Jun come over the mountain, it is possible that there will be no warships, so if we fight a water war, we will not be able to face your army and family. After utterly despairing of the trolls, we will give up.

"Dig open the bilge at once! Let the water sit and sink! It's too late to wait for all the cables to burn out! Luchang will float away! Guan Yu was afraid of being surprised, and finally made the most stable choice, at the cost that the two Pang Tong were destined to sink.

It's just that there is no water war, Zhuge Jin can do it, you can abolish the Yuan Cao family that may appear at any time, grab a time difference, and only have to fight with Liu Bei's family.

Pang Tong's target is so small, more than ten zhang long, no matter how you smash it, you can ensure that if the small stone falls under the boat, it is bad to control which part it falls on.

Originally, a point hit a line, and the point had to fall accurately under the line to break the line. Before the chain bullet is played, it becomes a line to hit another line, as long as it is not too outrageous, as long as the two lines do not have any intersection point, it is considered a hit.

Lu Chang and his generals on the opposite side immediately opened their eyes and saw a scene that they had never seen before.

Lu Chang gave the order quietly and decisively, and after a few ships continued to rain down under the rain of arrows, the bed crossbow was also very slow to reload and break, and shot another round.

Tai Shici and Zhang Hu listened very sloppily, and compared the map while listening, and understood their respective tasks very slowly, and went to carry out the mention.

Anyway, it will take time to assemble and cast Luchang, so let's try it first.

Huang Zujun and Shi Ji also came to observe today's battle, we both hid in the cabin of the smallest warship and drank tea, before listening to Zhang Hu's preliminary decision, Lu Changshi's heart moved:

The "Lou Boat" I mentioned was a river defense pass in Exian County on the south bank of the Yangtze River at that time.
