Hutuo River should be one of the largest rivers in Bingzhou, its origin is in the northeast of Yanmen County, the river section presents a hook shape, Yanmen County, Dingxiang County, Zhongshan County, Changshan County, Boling County, Hejian County, Bohai County are all within the scope of its path, has been leading to the Bohai Sea.
The Han army not only crisscrossed the sea, but also made no bad use of the river system within the mainland, and the troops led by Ran Min used the Hutuo River to advance along the waterways, and the marching speed of the infantry army did not slow down the cavalry.
Dingxiang, the new capital of the Zhao Kingdom, was located not far from the Hutuo River, and the first fleet of the Han army to appear.
When the Han fleet appeared in the Dingxiang Hutuo River section, Shi Hu sent a large number of archers to the river bank, although nearly 30,000 archers did not organize an arrow array, but the scene of ten thousand arrows was really done to block the sun for a time.
Li Kuang is standing on the flagship and looking at the huge scene on the shore, the Zhao army will not arrange any formation, it is so crooked and piled up, but the 30,000 archers shooting arrows at the same time are still shocking enough, and the funny thing is that there are no arrows hitting even a single board of the Han army.
Shi Qi Zhao now has no naval army, their naval army was completely wiped out in the battle of Jizhou, and the cycle of wanting to build ships for today's technology and productivity is not short.
Even if Shi Hu kidnapped a considerable number of craftsmen, the far water could not save the near fire, and he was not able to build another fleet at all, and the few warships were purely to deliver food to the Han fleet.
"The king has agreed with the hussar general's strategy."
Wei Junchi looked at the Shiqian Zhao army who was constantly shooting arrows on the shore, and couldn't see what the emotion was: "We are now in the Hussar General Shogunate. ” Ran Min's Hussar General Shogunate was established, and Li Tan's Northern Shogunate was canceled as soon as possible, and the central side placed the original Northern Shogunate to the Hussar General Shogunate was only the first step, and it has been determined that the Eastern Shogunate will also be included in the Hussar General Shogunate sequence.
The hussar general Ran Min was undoubtedly the commander of the shogunate, Li Tan was the first deputy marshal, the marching commander Shi was appointed by Xie An, who was urgently transferred from Guanzhong, and the marching Sima was assigned to Xie Ai.
The center's actions gave everyone on the battlefield on the northern front a more direct and intuitive concept, Xie An concurrently served as the hussar general and the shogunate marching chief Shi with the military position of the general Zhengxi Zhonglang, and Xie Ai served as the marching Sima as a civilian official of the imperial history Zhongcheng, which is equivalent to the hussar general shogunate's specifications in line with reality, and it is also the importance shown by the center.
The main force of the Han army, which made an approaching maneuver, was led by Ran Min and stationed on the south bank of the Hutuo River, fifty miles away from Dingxiang.
It is more than 70 miles away from Guangmu, nearly 100 miles away from the border of Changshan County, and less than 200 miles away from the southwest is Li Tan's original shogunate sequence of the northern generals.
At present, the troops led by Li Tan are still besieging Jinyang and Quyang, and the difference is that the troops responsible for the siege have already started the battle of Dengcheng.
"The general of Zhengbei threw a large number of sandbags with a catapult, and spent half a month concentrating on the southern city wall section to pile up a mound of earth that could allow soldiers to charge up."
Wei Junchi said with admiration: "Just one charge will kill the city wall, and soon enter the city." ” In fact, the troops sent by Li Tan to kill into the city did not mean that Jinyang was lost, as the Jinyang city guard Li Su was very tenacious to organize the blockade, the southern city of Jinyang became a battlefield in an all-round way, there were many buildings and complex streets in the city, and the fight between the two armies began with the fight for each house, and the casualties on both sides were not low.
The Han fleet on the Hutuo River is preparing for a long-range attack, that is, the bed crossbow on each warship is wound to place crossbow arrows that are thicker than spears, after a rapid war drum is beaten, the soldier who operates the bed crossbow takes the wooden mallet and knocks heavily on the trigger, a huge "instigation" is followed by the sound of the bed crossbow bowstring, countless piercing sounds of breaking the air whistle, and the crossbow arrows that are fired out lose their kinetic energy after a period of leap and fall, bringing up red blood and terrible screams.
The 30,000 Shi Qi Zhao army also carried out two rounds of salvo fire, and all the 60,000 arrows were still floating on the river, and the number of arrows gathered together to cover some sections of the river, and the arrows floating on the water had already been put down by the Han warships to be recovered.
Shi Hu came to the scene in person, but he didn't raise the flag, and he was very annoyed that his archers couldn't reach the Han warship, and he executed three captains on the spot for no reason, and some people who were nearby also fell into blood mold.
"The maximum range is two hundred and eighty paces."
Zhang Mao said very cautiously: "The number should be about sixty, and each enemy warship is about two bed crossbows. ” Zhang Mao was originally the assassin of Youzhou, Shi Hu gave Youzhou to Murong Yanguo, and his official position of Youzhou assassin was not relieved, and then he was installed with a rank of joining the army.
"Nearly sixty steps longer than the Jin army's bed crossbow" Shi Hu's face was full of gloom, he glanced at the palace maid who was trembling and fanning the wind, and squinted his eyes to look at the Han army fleet that was already making a turnaround: "It has a range of nearly a hundred steps more than our bed crossbow." ” Of course, Shi Qi Zhao Guo will make bed crossbows, which is one of the benefits brought by ruling the Central Plains, the shape is modeled on the Jin army's eight-horse crossbow, some process gaps and parts of the difference lead to backward quality, the longest range is generally between 180 steps and 200 steps.
Not only the bed crossbow, but also the strong crossbow can be made by the Zhao country, but the quality is backward, and the Zhao army has rarely been equipped with bed crossbows or strong crossbows for a long time, not only the relationship between the backward quality, but also the factors of weak national strength.
Looking at the Han army boats on the river that were scooping up arrows, Shi Hu had already regretted it, the test firing before the salvo had long been confirmed to be out of reach, and the salvo shots in the next two rounds were purely to show momentum, but there were no 60,000 arrows at once, and it was absolutely fake to say that he was not distressed.
The current Shiqi Zhao State is no longer the country that rules the Central Plains, it is a place that retreats to Bingzhou and Shuozhou, which are relatively birds that don't, and the financial resources are very empty for the Hu people, and the key is to take materials and the like, and 60,000 arrows are how many qualified arrows and arrows The Han army's bed crossbow cavalry shot again, the scale of a round of sixty is a bit too small for 30,000 people, it can only cause hundreds of casualties, but the movement is too big, and it will be extremely angry for the Shiqi Zhao army, which can only be beaten and unable to fight back.
Bed crossbows are never simply about inflicting many casualties, most of the time they are more about demoralizing the enemy, and on rare occasions hundreds of crossbows can be gathered, and thousands of crossbows are used in one place has never happened in history.
Li Kuang came with the fleet, that is, to show off their might, and after they completed the U-turn, they slowly slowed down to the sound of war drums.
"Organize a shield wall to protect Your Majesty" A rapid banging sound sounded in the fleet on the river, and the dense black dots of the twenty or so warships rose into the sky, and it was the strong crossbowmen who fired crossbow arrows.
The longest range of the Han army's strong crossbow is 450 steps, and when it fought with the Shiqi Zhao army in the early days, the Han army at that time was far less than the Shijiao Zhao army each time, and the Han army used strong crossbows, strong bows, and crossbows to form a death arrow array, and taught the Shiqi cavalry how to behave again and again.
Shi Hu pushed away Zhang Haozhu, Zhang Mao, Shen Bian and the others who were about to come over to make a blocking arrow, their position was more than 600 steps away from the Han warship, how could they be shot.
Not only did he push away the courtiers who wanted to show his loyalty, but he also took out the war sword on his waist and slashed at it, killing a few palace maids very easily, and kicking a few ministers, which shows that he was really angry.
Each salvo of the Han army on the river is about 1,000 crossbow arrows, covering too large an area and must be loose, but the casualties caused are far more than the bed crossbows, which makes the stone archers on the bank of the river lose a lot of money.
A few palace maids who were hacked to death were placed there, and the Shi Hu courtiers who were kicked by Shi Hu didn't even dare to howl, they waited in the center for a long time, and they knew Shi Hu's brutality very well, in recent years, Shi Qi Zhao State has changed from a dignified overlord of the Central Plains to a small country that was forced to live in a corner, although Shi Hu deliberately avoided the edge of the Han army, but the feeling in his heart really can't be described.
Shi Hu is also old, the long-term indulgence in women's sex has long collapsed, and he is no longer the overlord who can dance the gun on horseback, and some reasons for his personality are also worse after the body collapses, according to modern medical common sense, long-term high blood pressure, physical weakness and frequent brain pain, and fainting symptoms from time to time, a strong sense of weakness and a love of power, which makes this person's brutality even more incompatible.
At present, according to the Western calendar, it is 347 AD, and Shi Hu in history died in 349 AD at the age of 54.
"Your Majesty" A burst of exclamation erupted when Shi Hu kicked people but fell down by himself, and Shi Hu, who fell heavily on the ground, was obviously dizzy and confused, and even had symptoms of rolling his eyes, which frightened the people around him at a loss.
Li Kuang happened to capture the chaos somewhere on the shore, and he said to Wei Junchi: "We don't have that far range. ” It is obvious that the range of the Han army's strong crossbow is currently the longest in the world, but it is not exaggerated to more than 600 steps, so there must be something that the Han army does not know.
Wei Junchi is looking at the Shiqi Zhao army who withdrew from the shore in an orderly manner, and it is hypocritical to say that he is a strong opponent without admiration.
He looked in the direction that Li Kuang pointed, the chaos there was very obvious, and he couldn't guess that Shi Hu had an accident without any banner.
The Zhao army on the shore could only be passively shot, and the Han fleet on the river also began to make Yang Fan's action of setting sail, and the relatively sudden howl first appeared with a relatively low frequency, and the retreating Shi Zhao army paused, and did not know who was approaching the shore again.
Li Kuang looked at Shi Qi Zhao Jun who was going and returning relatively blankly.
The returning Shiqi Zhao army was about two or three thousand people, and they howled and rushed to the river, rushing into the water without stopping, and one after another figures fluttered in the river, all desperately trying to swim to approach the Han warship.
"Look, those guys are completely insane."
Wei Junchi was actually extremely confused, just looking at the stone Zhao Jun who was fluttering in the water, many of them swam halfway and sank directly: "We shouldn't shoot some important people?"
Although Shi Hu only showed signs of fainting and did not really faint, the high-ranking officials on Shi Hu's side were really completely crazy, all because Shi Hu, who was carried into the carriage, was unable to speak because his face was distorted, simply put, Shi Hu had a stroke.

People with high blood pressure are prone to stroke, and emotional agitation and anger will definitely cause stroke.
"It should be" Li Kuang's emotions were completely mobilized: "Let those guys get closer, and stimulate the Hulu on the shore." ” The two or three thousand Shi Qi Zhao army that had been launched into the water did not get close to the Han army's warship, and there were less than 1,500 fluttering figures left.
Their speed was okay at first, and after swimming about a hundred paces, a big disconnect was formed, and no more than fifty people remained in the first echelon.
There was no tension on the Han army on the warship, and with the permission of their superiors, most of the soldiers were giggling and laughing at the figures fluttering in the water, and even deliberately made a big noise to make fun of them.
At least more than 30,000 pairs of eyes were watching at the scene, and at this time, no one thought much about why the Han army didn't shoot arrows, and some Shiqian soldiers began to swim within ten steps of the Han army's warship, and the Shiqian Zhao army on the shore had already begun to cheer.
And the Han soldiers on the warship were actually cheering.
The Hu people ruled the Central Plains for decades, as long as they are willing to learn, they can learn to swim, the difference is just how the water is, and the Shiqian soldiers who can be the first echelon to approach the Han army's warships must not only have good water quality, but also have the kind of brave enough to be tough, they are not afraid of death and dare to die, and they are angry at the Han army who look down on themselves and do not let go of the arrows, and have the will to bite the Han army even if they die.
"Don't, don't shoot, I'll get a harpoon."
Li Mi is a middle-aged man with an extremely honest appearance, and he really just ran to get a folded harpoon and straightened it with the help of his robe: "It's much more fun to stab to death than to shoot to death." ” The first soldier who approached within five steps of the Han warship could no longer hold on, and swam in that posture of ups and downs, and the speed was not much faster than that of a tortoise.
He had sunk for more than a dozen breaths for the longest time, and when he resurfaced, he was panting heavily, his face was whiter than snow, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips were so blue that they were almost purple.
The deck of the Han warship is generally more than one and a half zhang out of the water, in fact, the Shiqi soldiers swam there, and most of their weapons have sunk to the bottom of the river, basically with bare hands, at most they can only hammer the boat board, and the bite is too slippery.
The high-ranking officials who sent soldiers were brain-dead in anger and panic, and they were all just to vent their anger.
Li Mi found that he couldn't play with the harpoon that was nearly four feet long by himself, so he called out to Pao Ze for help, and they worked together to control the harpoon to tilt downward, shouting a trumpet and giggling and stabbing at the extremely miserable-looking stone carpal soldier:
