Chapter 1082: Junzhou Goes to Earth
Junzhou under the soil
Dark clouds in winter, the north wind howling, the rain of arrows on the Xiangshui River, the crossbow stones breaking through the air, and the mutual collision of the hull creaking between the roar of the water, pure sailboats, sailboats, arsonist ships, ironclad ships......
Flames burned on the sails, shouting and screaming, shouting and commanding...... The sound of people is noisy, and people are killed every minute and every second under the brutal and fierce collision of ships, and the red light reflects the water surface, steaming and distorting the water vapor in this winter mist, and it seems that the hot gas of the burning river boiling the sea, and the blood flows on the river water, and disappears.
In the winter of the twentieth year after the Great Revolution, the two strongest forces, one south and one north, confronted each other across the bank, one wanted to march south, and the other vowed to go north, neither of them wanted to let the enemy calmly cross the river, and their respective naval armies launched a fierce duel in this gentle water area of the Xiang River, hundreds of warships collided with each other, entangled, and wrestled, and the dense information radiated out on the respective flagships of the two armies, and then the tide was withdrawn.
"Report - the right-wing sailing column encountered the second wave of fireboat offensive by Guo Jun and fell into encirclement!"
"Dispatch ironclad ships to support!" said the middle-aged general on the flagship of the Chinese army, his body calm as a reef standing in the middle of the river, the four waters are not crowded, and the eight winds are not moving.
The cold steel ignored the fuel of the small fireship, and the heavy bulbous bow smashed the sampans to pieces, directly crushing a bloody path, quickly stabilizing the right flank formation, and hundreds of starlight broke through the air to attack the enemy ship group.
On one of the flagships, there were also magicians who found these starlights on the watchtower, and immediately alerted: "One hundred real people of the Chinese army raided the left flankββ"
"This team of real people counterattacks!" Guo Jun's sailors all shouted, a little anxious about the stalemate on the surface of the battle, the enemy's ironclad ships are too difficult to burn, and he is afraid that there will be accidents if the battle continues in this way, thinking of this, he urged again: "Contact the troop transport ship upstream, why haven't you crossed the river yet......
Rise!
The dragon's groan resounded through the heavens and the earth, and a yellow gas on the south bank attracted the attention of all Guo soldiers on the north bank: "What is that?"
"Yellow Dragon Great Array...... Didn't you burn down the imperial capital of the Yun Dynasty, and there was nothing left in the white land?"
A general groaned and said: "It is rumored that the princess of Yun Chao ran to the south is true, and it must be the formation map contributed by that woman......"
"This little slut would rather stoop down and marry a minority than obediently surrender to our king......" someone said indignantly, and a black gas inadvertently flashed between his eyebrows: "This woman is bent on avenging Yunting, and she treats Huaguo, which also belongs to Tude, as her own person, reversing black and white, regardless of the overall situation, damn a clan traitor!"
The generals scolded one after another, and Guo Ziyue, who was the monarch, was silent when she heard it, and the figure of the beautiful woman she had seen a few years ago flashed in her heart, and her face twitched: "Gossip is not mentioned...... The enemy must have discovered the detachment of our troops crossing the river upstream, and ordered a strong attack!"
"Yes, the king is invincible!" the generals responded enthusiastically, and the incredible battles in the past two years have made everyone in Guo Jun have strong ambitions and confidence in conquering the world.
...... On the south bank of the river, there are 60,000 troops standing in formation, 10,000 are divided to meet the enemy upstream, and the rest continue to move, and the Chinese army under the banner is still nervously watching the battle of the water army, and the crystal membrane of the Huanglong Great Array is distorted and transmits the movement on the water surface, distorted and psychedelic into a mirage.
In the secret exchange of divine consciousness in the array, the yellow dragon circled and stared at the opposite riverbank, and there was a fierce red dragon on the side, with some black qi, and after destroying the common enemy, the battle of the wall was staged...... There can only be one master in the world.
"In terms of troops, we are all at a disadvantage in the army and navy, the former is difficult to defeat suddenly, but the latter ironclad ship has a cross-generational advantage, this victory must be seized, and the enemy must not react and withdraw......"
"It's a pity that the year before last, the thirteenth road was against the king and went to Beijing, the Yun Dynasty was shattered, one-third of the naval army was scattered and divided by all parties, and two-thirds fell into the hands of Guo Ziyue, and the north was swept away in two years, which is really lucky...... We started late, and we only caught a few small boats in the south, and the total number was only half of the number of people. β
"Ha, didn't the king catch a beautiful princess......
"It's already a princess, you can't just joke...... According to the princess's experience, the incident in Beijing was promoted by the mastermind behind the scenes, Wa ...... His Royal Highness also secretly sent a message to warn, it is very likely to be an immortal from the outer lands, do you think you will end up in person this time?"
It is not a secret that the core ministers of the high-level have a secret hand against the immortals in the outer lands, and as soon as this hidden concern is raised in the Divine Sense Network, the howling wind outside seems to be silent, and it is the secret hand of the immortals that is more worrying than the danger of cannibalism in the revolutionary camp...... Once you interfere in this battle, it will be a big trouble to win or lose.
In everyone's eyes, the declining clan of the eleventh grandson of Emperor Yingwu, Liu Rong, the king of Han who took the throne in Jiangnan, thought about it at this moment, and shook his head: "It's hard to say whether he will personally intervene, but it seems that the enemy only wants the victory of the revolution, and there are people outside the sky who are paying attention to the movements here......"
"We are all fishing hooks buried by His Majesty, and we can't think about that level of game, but when it comes to revolution, the prince will have a kind of ...... We don't need to pretend, it's our true colors, and we don't worry about exposure. β
The military generals of Wenchen, after hearing this, all nodded in agreement, and regretted a little: "...... It's a pity that it's only been 20 years, and the national field system is only the second generation, and once it is defeated, I am afraid that it will be a global erosion...... The choice of Tude was of great help in the rapid annexation of the old government forces in the south, but there was no way to burn the breath of the old dynasty in the short term. β
"This battle is all about industry, the enemy is afraid of us, and we won't have to fight for a few more years......" Time passed slowly, three hours of fierce battle, the sky became darker and darker, and it was nearly evening.
The ships on the river have become sparse and sparse, and more than half of the casualties of the two naval armies have been killed, and the battle has reached such a tragic point is caused by inland river operations, unlike the calm advance and retreat on the sea surface, there is no way to run when you are crowded into a group on the narrow river, and you can either jump into the river or fight to the death......
After the revolution, stimulated by a certain qi engine, the rebels in the world became fearless of death, and the conditions of the sailors with the same high organization depended on the quality of each ship.
Except for a large number of small boats that can only beat the side drums, the number of large ships in the main force of the Guo army is even larger, twice that of the Chinese army, and the power of the magic array is not inferior to that of the Chinese military aircraft and sailing ships, but the defensive power cannot be compared.
The 27 ironclad ships of the main force of the Chinese army are wooden hulls wrapped in steel plates, not real metal ships, but they are so hard that people have a toothache...... The problem is that each ship can only be destroyed by the Guo army's real army, and in the same time, the Han army's real army can take the opportunity to destroy more wooden-hulled ships of the enemy, which undoubtedly gives the Han army an advantage.
Guo Jun has not considered copycat imitation, the technology is not difficult, the resources are difficult, the early industrialized society can only support the ironclad battleship, each to consume a huge steel output, not to mention the need for the double strong power of the fire spirit steam engine plus the array to maintain speed, but also equipped with a large number of thunder ballistae on both sides, the Chinese army itself has no money to upgrade the whole ship to this kind of ship, and the country has built these twenty-seven.
Under the twilight fireworks in the evening, all the other capital ships of the Chinese army were sunk, but although more than half of these ironclad ships were destroyed by the enemy's real army, eleven of them survived tenaciously to the end, scarred and floating on the water, and the Chinese real people destroyed almost all the enemy's main ships......
"Boom!"
The main flag of Guo's flagship was folded, the thunder pool above his head was trembling and the electric light was brewing, and the naval army above shook it, his face was pale and he bowed to the north bank, and the horizontal sword was on his neck: "Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent......
Poof-
Blood spurted out, and the man's gaze dimmed, and he fell into the river with a poof.
"Hahaha...... Surrender!" The staggered streamers of the real people escaped in mid-air, chasing and being pursued, and laughter resounded in the sky.
In fact, only in terms of the number of ships, there are no more small boats of the Han army, and there are hundreds of small boats left in the Guo army, but eleven ironclad ships are enough to sweep, and suddenly the sailors of the Guo army fled in panic......
But I don't know that the eleven ships have basically lost the power of the sail oars, such a heavy hull can only rely on the slow driving speed of the magic circle, and it can't control the battle, if you can seize this fatal shortcoming and counterattack with wolf pack tactics, there is still a chance to turn the tables.
However, on the one hand, the characteristics of the ironclad ships were not familiar to Guo Jun, and on the other hand, the naval commander was killed on the spot, and no one had the heart and prestige to organize a counterattack, and the remnants of Guo's naval division fled downstream on the spot, exposing the Guo army troops on the north bank to the Chinese army.
Under the banner on the other side, Guo Ziyue's face was pale, and he lost...... With such a good hand and the support of Destiny, he still lost!
"Your Majesty, the sailor division was defeated, and the upstream division requested to answer...... Uh, the Yu ship seems to have run downstream......"
"Bastard, if you want to run, you guys run upstream!"
Escaping is the fastest to swim down, the Han army does not chase those small boats, the remaining eleven ironclad ships on the river have been driven by the magic array, slowly turned the side of the ship, and aimed a row of demining ballistas at the Guo army on the north bank, and the front end of the arrow flashed with a faint blue light.
Boom Boom β
The thunder-like tremors of the air spread over the array, and the smoke and dust scattered in a hurry, and the voice was faintly heard: "Why is this happening...... Immortals help me ......"
There was some kind of plea for help in the angry and disbelieving roar, but there was no response, only the general tugging at their lord: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, a temporary defeat is nothing, go back and regroup and come back again......
"No, there's no chance, the enemy won't give us time to regroup......" Guo Ziyue sighed gloomily.
The defeat of the army can also be transferred to the young and strong, the loss of the division on the south bank is not a fatal blow, but the death of the main ship of the navy is a fatal blow...... Shipbuilding is taking time.
"Two years! we will defeat the enemy in two years, and we will not give time to regroup the fleet, hahaha......"
South Bank Chinese Army...... Or the Han monarchs laughed, unlike their impression of the Han world, where fleet strength was very important.
This state, which is rich in water vein resources, has evolved the continent, with a total of seven rivers in the north and south, affecting the distribution of power in troubled times.
Like the previous example of the Fuxing Society choosing to take root in the most remote Binzhou, shrinking to the south of the turbulent Yundu River, and defeating the attack of the anti-king Zhang Dexing, on both sides of each major river, there are often two anti-king forces, and in the cross-river attack and defense, the excess population is gradually consumed, and the princes with weak hematopoietic power are eliminated, and the unification is ushered in.
In this process, the strength of the navy is very crucial, and the victorious side of the navy will gain great initiative, and then attack along the river to make the opponent exhausted, and finally cross the river to successfully break through the weak defense line...... It is not an exaggeration to say that the foundation for victory has been laid.
The 20-year-long struggle for the world is finally coming to an end.
