Chaisang, which is located at the forefront of Jiangxia County, is located at the intersection of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and is the junction of Yuzhang, Jiangxia and Lujiang counties. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Huang Zu didn't have much power on Chaisang's side, as for Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang County, he also concentrated his troops in Anhui County, and did not extend his troops to Chaisang, not to mention Zhu Wei's side, at most, the three parties sent a lot of scouts and spies on Chaisang's side.

Therefore, even if Chaisang belonged to Jiangxia County, he had little ability to hinder Zhu Wei's army.

The current county seat of Chaisang is mainly controlled by local scholars and powerful forces, but it has also spontaneously formed a gathering place of trading companies open to the outside world, which can be regarded as a city of free trade.

Even if it is a lot of goods from Zhu Weiyuzhang's side, they will be transported to Chaisang for transfer, which shows the prosperity of Chaisang's business, no wonder Chaisang is listed as a city where merchants live in the Three Kingdoms game system.

But now that Zhu Wei's army set off by boat from Panyang and passed through Chaisang, it was not hindered in any way, and the local forces in Chaisang did not dare to have any thoughts about Zhu Wei's huge army on the water, at most they quickly spread the news to all directions.

However, the speed at which Zhu Wei's fleet moved on the Yangtze River was faster than the speed at which the news was transmitted to Huang Zu in Jiangxia, at least before Huang Zu reacted and strengthened the defense line on the river in Exian, Zhu Wei should have been killed there.

So after Zhu Wei's army passed Chaisang, he soon came to Qichun County in Jiangxia County through the Yangtze River waterway, and approached the Qichun County Water Village, the first line of defense on the river set up by Huang Zu in Jiangxia.

The terrain of this Qichun County is long and narrow, shaped like a sail, the terrain is high in the north and low in the south, and the landform is complex.

The north is mountainous, the central part is hilly, and the south is the rivers and lakes near the Yangtze River.

To be honest, Qichun County is not a big county seat, and if Zhu Wei attacks this county seat, it is estimated that it will be very easy.

Huang Zu set up the first line of defense on the river in Qichun County, that is, set up a naval army camp on the north bank of the Yangtze River in the south of Qichun County.

However, the Yangtze River basin in Qichun County is open, and the terrain on both sides of the river bank is also tidal flats, but there are no hills, so Huang Zu just found a relatively narrow area on the Yangtze River and set up a naval camp to restrict the ships passing on the Yangtze River.

In fact, this water camp can't completely block the river, and it can't block Zhu Wei's waterway along the Yangtze River to the west, but if Zhu Wei doesn't care about the existence of this water army camp, they can also send troops to attack Zhu Wei's fleet at any time and cut off Zhu Wei's logistics supply line.

Theoretically speaking, this naval camp was originally Huang Zu's outpost defense line, and the purpose was to delay some time to invade the enemy army, and give the Jiangshang defense line in Exian County behind a time to react, so that it could be prepared for battle.

And Zhu Wei passed by Qichun County this time, and he was not going to attack Qichun County or anything wasting time, but he was just going to use the fastest time to lay down the water camp set up by Huang Zu on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and he could continue to move forward after eliminating this hidden danger.

In this way, as Zhu Wei's fleet entered the waters of the Yangtze River in Qichun County, Zhu Wei soon received the news from the ships in front.

Knowing that he had come to Qichun County and that the ships in front had discovered Huang Zu's Qichun County Water Village, Zhu Wei did not immediately order an attack on this water village, but ordered Ling Cao, who was at the front of the fleet to act as the vanguard of the water army, to surround this water village to prevent the people in the water village from having the opportunity to go to the water village in Exian County to report the news, and at the same time let Ling Cao persuade this water village to surrender.

Zhu Wei was going to give Huangzu Shuizhai in Qichun County half a pillar of incense (fifteen minutes) time to consider surrendering, otherwise he would break the Shuizhai, and this time he would not accept the surrender pawns, and all the thumbs of his right hand would be cut off.

However, then again, since this water village in Qichun County is the first line of defense on the water used by Huang Zu to defend Jiangdong, this water village is actually quite stable.

The wall of the water village is two stories high, and there is also a plank road on the wall of the water village camp, which allows the soldiers in the water village to defend the wall and shoot the approaching enemy ships with bows and arrows.

In addition, on the shore of the land village is also set up trenches, antlers and other obstacles to prevent the enemy from approaching, if the enemy attack, it is equivalent to attacking a military dock fort near the water.

Therefore, if there is really a strong enemy to fight, this water village can indeed delay some time.

Although now facing Zhu Wei's huge fleet of 100,000 troops, it is definitely impossible for this small water village to resist the strong attack of Zhu Wei's army, even if Zhu Wei does not attack from the water and directly sends people to land, he can forcibly take down this water village.

But Zhu Wei didn't want to be delayed by this water village, which would affect the effect of his lightning sneak attack.

Therefore, Zhu Wei hopes that the generals of the Huang Zu Department in this water village can take the initiative to surrender, anyway, according to the current comparison of the strength of the two sides, if the Huang Zu soldiers in the water village in Qichun County want to save their lives, it is the best choice to surrender on their own initiative.

Of course, the officers and soldiers of Huang Zu in this water village really don't know each other, but Zhu Wei can only choose to attack quickly.

Fortunately, Zhu Wei sent troops to attack Jiangxia this time, and he also prepared a water warfare weapon, that is, a bed ballista that combined gunpowder blasting barrel technology and strong crossbow technology.

With this kind of gunpowder weapon, which can be regarded as surpassing the conventional weapon technology of the Three Kingdoms era, it will not waste much time to capture this water village in Qichun County.

This kind of bed ballista is a cross-era killing weapon that Zhu Wei borrowed from the craftsmen on the side of Xun Yuzhang after purchasing the strong crossbow in the game system of the Three Kingdoms.

The raw materials of the bowstrings of the bed ballistas were disassembled from those strong crossbows, and Zhu Wei spent nearly 200 units of gold from the Three Kingdoms game system to buy two hundred strong crossbows, and then re-disassembled and transformed them into fifty bed ballistas.

The main difference between the bed ballista and the ordinary crossbow and the strong crossbow is that it is large in size and requires a winch to open the crossbow string, but this also shows that the power of the bed ballista crossbow string is very strong.

Then the crossbow arrows used in the bed ballista were one and a half meters long, and two fingers thick, which was equivalent to the length of a short spear.

This crossbow arrow is modified again, using thin bamboo or other synthetic bamboo pieces to form the crossbow arrow body, and then filling it with black powder, and then extending the fuse behind the arrow blade of the crossbow arrow.

In this way, the crossbow arrows fired from the bed ballista can be at least two or three hundred paces away, and the force is enough for the crossbow bolts to pierce the hull of the target ship or the wooden wall and door of the camp.

Then, with the calculated fuse igniting the gunpowder in the arrow body, even the so-called battleship covered with cowhides, or the current water village camp wall in Qichun County, can be blown open.

In this way, when encountering those battleships, a few gunpowder arrows can blow up a hole in the battleship, so that the battleship will sink directly on the river, so as to make up for the water battle disadvantage of the ordinary river boat and the real warship that Zhu Wei is riding now.

Of course, now using this bed ballista to fire gunpowder arrows to attack the water village can easily blow up the camp wall defense line of the water village and kill it......
