Firearms are powerful, but Hu Fen believes that the Shu army cannot be infinitely owned, in addition to the three building boats on his side, there are thousands of various ferries of different sizes, the building boats do not move for the time being, take the small and medium-sized ferries to try, isn't it clear?

Hu Fen immediately made a calculation, now that he has lost two building ships, the remaining three cannot be easily lost, and he instigated a bunch of cannon fodder ships to attack it, so he will naturally know it at a try.

So the three building boats anchored in the middle of the river, and countless small and medium-sized ferries swarmed up and launched an assault on the embankment on the west bank.

The battle seems to have entered the rhythm of the last time, and in the face of the ferries that the Jin army poured up, the Shu army responded calmly, using all the weapons it could use to start a desperate battle.

Ah Jian and his two hundred guards stopped, their target was these five building ships, since Hu Fen was afraid to move forward, they naturally stopped shooting, those small and medium-sized ferries were really not worth Ah Jian's waste of gunpowder.

The bamboo grenades equipped with this firearm are indeed limited, although it is more than enough to deal with five building boats, but if it is enough to deal with the small and medium-sized ferries that are as large as ants, it is definitely not enough, of course, to deal with these small boats, Huang Chong's troops are enough, and there is no need for Ah Jian to come out again, so Ah Jian simply retreated a few steps back and handed over the main battlefield to Huang Chong and Huang Hong, which was originally agreed by him and Huang Xian in advance.

When the Shu army saw that the two behemoth-like ships were destroyed in an instant, they couldn't help but rejoice and boost their morale, and they worked even harder to fight the Jin army.

Although the Jin army had a lot of ships, the shore defense of the Shu army was strong and well-garrisoned, and it was still very difficult to count on these small and medium-sized ferries to complete the breakthrough. Under Hu Fen's order, one after another ferries rushed to the opposite shore like moths to a fire, but in the face of the dense defense of the Shu army, they were never able to land, but the Jin army suffered heavy casualties, countless casualties.

Hu Fen also understood that if he wanted the landing operation to succeed, he had to count on the remaining three building ships, and only the building ships could break through the defense line of the Shu army, but the other party's firearms were really a threat, so Hu Fen did not dare to act rashly.

The deputy general Shi Chao saw that the situation was unfavorable, so he said to Hu Fen: "General, you can't fight like this anymore, if you continue to fight, our people will be exhausted." ”

Hu Fen frowned, the river was full of burning half-sunken boats at the moment, many Jin troops were struggling in the muddy river, and more were floating corpses, almost silting up the river, if it continued like this, the fate of failure would be doomed.

Since Sima Yan is willing to pay the military power, there is no doubt that in Sima Yan's heart, Hu Fen is listed as a confidant, and he can be reused by Sima Yan, which naturally means that Hu Fen has a bright future.

But this trust is based on merit, and if Hu Fen performs well in the Battle of Pubanjin, then there is no doubt that he can be immediately crowned a marquis, promoted to a knighthood, and even ranked as the third duke. But if Hu Fen is defeated, I am afraid that Sima Yan will be greatly disappointed, and it will be difficult to reuse it in the future.

Hu Fen is not a hardcore Yan Party, which has always made him feel related, and this time to lead the army to fight, it is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, whether he can develop in his career depends on this one.

But the current battle situation undoubtedly gave Hu Fen, who was full of ambition and confidence, a heavy blow, if this situation continues, it will definitely be difficult to escape defeat, this is undoubtedly unacceptable to Hu Fen, his future, absolutely should not be ruined on the Yellow River.

Hu Fen gritted his teeth, he decided to fight, for the sake of his career and future, he would never give up easily.

Since the destruction of the two building ships, the firearms battalion of the Shu army has not shot again, which undoubtedly gave Hu Fen a certain hope, according to the normal reasoning, the number of firearms of the Shu army must not be very much, if you fight with all your might, there is still a chance.

This time, Hu Fen no longer made a small fuss, but gathered all the ferries together, and rushed in the direction of the ferry at the same time, the dense fleet almost paved the course of the Yellow River, the three building boats in the center, and the periphery was full of small ferries, swarming up.

"Just in time!" Ah Jian snorted in a low voice, seeing that the three building ships of the Jin army were dispatched together, he did not dare to be careless, and ordered the personal guards to stand by, ignore the small ferry, and concentrate on dealing with the three building ships, as long as the three building ships entered the range of the grenade projectile, they immediately attacked.

Hu Fen originally expected to press with all his strength and win in chaos, among the three building ships, as long as one of them could dock, the soldiers on the ship could rush ashore and seize a beachhead, but unfortunately he made another mistake in judgment, and the bamboo grenade specially prepared for him was thrown accurately and ruthlessly on the three building ships, and a series of violent explosions also completely ended Hu Fen's fantasy.

The three building ships were on fire, and the closest of the three building ships was only four or five zhang away from the shore, but it was these four or five zhang distance that became an insurmountable moat.

Hu Fen's flagship was shot the most, and the fire was the most violent, the entire hull had tilted to the right, and began to sink slowly.

Hu Fen was burned all over the place, and even his face was burned out of two large fire bubbles, faintly painful, but what made Hu Fen even more uncomfortable was that the entire fleet suffered a catastrophe, almost the entire army was wiped out, even if he could get lucky enough to pick up a life and go back, he was afraid that he would no longer have the ability to attack, and the plan of forcibly crossing Pusakazu was completely defeated.

Fleeing back to the east bank, Hu Fen counted the remnants, crossed the river twice and lost nearly 20,000 men and horses, all five building boats were destroyed, and thousands of ferries were also damaged by more than half.

However, what made Hu Fen a little relieved was that Tongguan and Wuguan also failed to achieve victory, Yanghu and Du Pre were the same as him, they also lost an inch of money, and they were not responsible for the crime, and the three roads were defeated, and Hu Fen's defeat of Pubanjin was not so eye-catching.

The Jin army's offensive was frustrated, and the entire Jin-Shu front also entered a fairly stable stalemate period.

However, the situation in the world does not seem to have subsided, but has intensified............ (To be continued.) )
