Chapter 289: At a loss


What is the situation of water warfare under cold weapons, which basically relies on shooting at long range, and depends on impact at short range.

"It's really rude" Yu Yide admitted that he was frightened by the Han army's long-range attack ability: "Arranged in a straight line, the speed of long-range coverage, the bed crossbow is about thirty breaths once, and the strong crossbow is fifteen breaths once." ” Information about the Han army's powerful long-range attack capability has long been transmitted back to the south of the Yangtze River, which is the detailed work of the Jin army during the battle between the Han army and the Xuzhou army.

"Range."

Yu Bing attaches the most importance to this: "They are already firing crossbow arrows when they are four hundred paces away from the shore, and they are firing strong crossbows when they are three hundred paces. ” Perhaps it made the generals of the Eastern Jin Dynasty feel frustrated, of course the Jin army would have bed crossbows, but the range of the bed crossbows of the Jin army was only 280 steps, but the range of the strong crossbow was about the same as that of the Han army.

However, it must be noted that there are not many strong crossbows in the Jin army, and the number of ordinary crossbow machines is relatively sufficient.

"Why can the Han army's strong crossbow shoot so fast" Yu Bing has a strong desire to learn: "Is our strong crossbow inherited from theirs?"

The strong crossbow of the Jin army was inherited from the Cao Wei regime, and the Cao Wei regime was obtained from the Han family, but the Han family was inherited from the pre-Qin, and the pre-Qin plundered Korea during the Warring States period, which can be said to be in such a lineage.

"Our strong crossbow is a kind of pedal crossbow, and it takes about thirty breaths for a skilled crossbowman to fire once and then reload" There is a group of strong crossbowmen in the troops commanded by Yu Bing, and he has specially tested the rate of fire before.

He watched the Hanbu warships in the distance keep firing arrows to clear the field, and said, "That round boat is a landing ship."

The transport ships of the Han Department did not lean directly to the shore, after all, the beach could not be approached directly except for the deep water area, not to mention that the Han army on the shore put down a large number of small boats, and the soldiers then went down from the climbing net to the boat, and a boat should be loaded with eleven people, that is, a tithe, and then rowed the oars to the shore.

According to those who know the business, the actions of the Han army are really a set of processes that can stand the test, which directly makes those who originally thought that the Han army did not know how to fight water warfare, well, it is a landing battle.

In short, it made the onlookers on the side of the Eastern Jin Dynasty dumbfounded.

"They did it."

"What" "If that's what they want to show, they do it."

"Beach Storming Landing" Yu Bing is not rushing to the beach with one finger, but refers to a set of actions, including the formation when charging, placing the iron cable to block the river, knowing the horizontal line formation to increase the shooting field of long-range weapons, and many other signs indicate that the Han Department does not seem to know anything about water warfare, and even shows some knowledge or experience that the Jin army does not know at all.

In fact, that's right, Liu Yan was born in the navy, and if you want to say that you don't know anything about things on land, you can accumulate experience and knowledge by relying on actual combat in the back, no matter how much you have contact with the navy, you need to learn a lot when you are a non-commissioned officer, and you will understand some of them.

There were not many Shijie Zhao troops on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and although they were prepared for battle, they were not very careful or sufficient to carry out a kind of prevention.

The number of Han ships dispatched is only a small part of the large fleet, but it can't bear to have an absolute long-range advantage, Shijie Zhao Army should be a relatively hasty deployment, in the face of the Han Army's absolute long-range superiority coverage, only the seventh round of the shore has no formed Shijie Zhao Army, it is a kind of dead and fleeing scene.

The dense assault boats roared towards the north bank of the Yangtze River, from the time they approached the shore to the time when the soldiers landed, they did not encounter any resistance at all, and the casualties that occurred during the entire landing process were that the seven boats collided because they rushed too violently and were not familiar with the current of the water.

Seven boats collided, three of which overturned, representing 30 soldiers who fell into the Yangtze River, some of whom were rescued by grabbing the boat that had caught Paoze, many of them were floated out and then caught up by Paoze's nets, but there were also eight people on the missing list.

The landing force was first five hundred, then one thousand, and by this time it was time for the necessary garrison to be carried out on the shore.

However, given that the Zhao army in Shijie did not resist at all, the steps of building fortifications could be saved, and the landing force should have done to kill the scattered resistance and persuade more enemy troops to surrender.

The whole landing battle was actually not very fierce, and even Guo Xiang's order to set fire to the ship did not have time to reach the upper reaches, and the sudden engagement ended in less than two quarters of an hour.

"Elite soldiers."

Xie An found that his hands were shaking a little: "If it is up to us to defend, can we stop it?"

It is difficult to have a clear answer to the false proposition, and it should depend on the number of troops participating in the battle, how many equipment such as bed crossbows and stone throwing carts they have, and then how many strong crossbowmen are invested.

"In our case, the only thing we can do is to let go of the beachhead."

Yu Yi said truthfully: "The long-range attack weapons of the Han Department are superior in all aspects, and it is too much of a loss to shoot at them, so the only way to deploy troops in places where the Han Navy cannot attack from a long range can be used, and use the separation between the river and the land space to set up a blocking line." ” The nobles of the Eastern Jin Dynasty or the generals who led the troops, only if they knew how to fight water warfare could they lead an army alone, that was a matter determined by the national conditions, who made the Yangtze River a natural risk, and the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was extremely dependent on the Yangtze River.

It is because they all understand water warfare, and the difference is how much they know or how much actual command ability they have, and they are jealous when they see what the Han army has shown.

"The infantry of the Han army could wage high-intensity wars against the Hu people on land, and they won many battles."

Yu Bing was full of a sense of urgency, or a sense of crisis: "In the battle of Xuzhou, Liu Yan's command of only 8,000 infantry troops controlled the battle situation, firmly blocked the Hu people's cavalry, and steadily advanced. ” The Jin troops on the south bank of the Yangtze River were all staring at the north bank with wide eyes, where the fighting had stopped, and from a distance, it could be seen that the surrendered Shijie Zhao army was being escorted and gathered.

Look at the Yangtze River, where there are more and more Han ships, and the boats that are put down look densely packed, and people who have a phobia of density will definitely get goosebumps when they look at the moving boats.

"We just watched the Han Department occupy the north bank of the Yangtze River" Yu Yi only clearly said the sentence that the side of the couch would not allow others to snore: "Shijie Zhao's army is unbearable in water warfare, and often can only passively defend us to cross the river to fight, and replace it with the Han Department."

"What can we do" Yu Bing said distressedly: "Now we need the Han Ministry, not the Han Ministry. ” "General" Xie An was stunned and said, "Maybe King Qi has something that needs us." ” Yu Bing was stunned for a moment and asked, "An Shi said carefully" Xie An just had a feeling, but he couldn't say what the Han Department needed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so he had to say: "The King of Qi does things recklessly, and if he does nothing he wants, I'm afraid it will be like treating Shi Hu, fighting with force in everything, and not even thinking of it as a snake."

Since the King of Qi sent a large fleet to come, and told him in advance, there must be no malicious intention to communicate with us. ” Xie An's words made everyone think deeply.

Yu Bing was about to say something, but someone came to report that the ship was slowly approaching the south shore at the beginning, and it seemed that it was going to dock The battle on the north bank of the Yangtze River was over, and there were Han soldiers sailing along the shore looking for a place for ships to dock.

It is certain that such a place is definitely not easy to find, after all, the draft of the ships coming from the Hanbu side is too deep, and it is really not easy to find a place with a natural water depth of five meters on the shore.

In fact, if you are on both sides of the river, there is basically no such thing as a natural deep-water point near the bank, and it is all excavated by hand, not like the coast will form a natural harbor.

"What are they doing" Zhang Heng looked puzzled: "I've been around the shore for a while." ” It's no wonder they don't understand, in fact, the Han army who entered the Yangtze River waterway first was stunned, and according to the habit of being at the seaside, they first inspected the shore, and then measured the depth of the water, completely forgetting that the river was built as a ferry, not a port.

Perhaps it was someone who knew how to enter the waterway that the Han army's stupid behavior could be regarded as improving.

The troops who went ashore began to look for woods to cut down, and the soldiers in the boats began to gradually measure the depth of the water, and while the construction site of the ferry was selected, the timber cutters had already begun to make things related to the ferry.

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, Fu Wei can be regarded as going ashore, and with him are fifty armor soldiers.

They walked a short way to see the Eastern Jin Dynasty nobles and generals led by Yu Bing, and the location was at the pavilion at the bottom of a low hill next to the Yangtze River waterway.

Fu Wei looked at it, the battle on the side of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was not small, a large number of armor soldiers who looked like excellent soldiers, and then there were elite warriors, and after looking around, they probably knew the bottom of their hearts: Do you get off the horse?

Chinese officialdom, everything pays attention to official authority, so naturally there will be pomp.

What kind of pomp is Yu Bing putting out, that is, elite soldiers are arranged on the left and right sides of the mountain road, these elite soldiers look very good, and their figures look tall, and they are staring at the people from the Han Department who are walking slowly along the road with wide eyes.

"Hehe" Fu Wei didn't lower his voice, and asked Wei Junchi, who was watching together: "Are these soldiers like goods, or?"

Wei Junchi replied: "It's some sharp soldiers who have killed people. ” Only then did Fu Wei restrain his smile and said, "If you can be called a Ruishi by Shu Qiao, it must be a Ruishi." ” Wei Junchi was originally from Ran Min's side, and later worked for Liu Yan, and his family and clansmen also moved to Qingzhou.

His current official position in the Han Department is not low, and he is a military marquis.

When the group came to the pavilion, Fu Wei saluted politely, and exclaimed: "I have seen the general of the chariot and cavalry, and all of you."

The pavilion was quiet at first, and Yu Bing looked at Fu Wei and the corresponding Hanbu armor soldiers for thirty breaths, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said: "Take it":
