Only after the enemy captures the beachhead will the two sides enter hand-to-hand combat, and once the enemy breaks through the defensive line and successfully lands on the beach, it means that the anti-landing operation will fail.

Therefore, only by suppressing the enemy on the river and not allowing the enemy to break through the shore defense is the key to the battle of Pusakajin. To this end, Huang Chong prepared a large number of bows and crossbows, catapults, and bed crossbow carts, which were deployed on the embankment on the west bank.

In fact, the killing weapon that really posed a deadly threat to the ferry was gunpowder weapons, but the gunpowder weapons of the Shu army were only equipped with Liu Yin's personal guard troops, and other troops were not qualified to use them. But inspired by gunpowder weapons, Huang Chong's troops were armed with a large number of rockets—ordinary arrows wrapped around strips of cloth soaked in oil and ignited before they were fired. Although this type of rocket does not have the explosive effect of gunpowder arrows, it can often be used against wooden houses or boats, and it is inexpensive, simple to make, and can be used on a large scale.

Therefore, during the preparation for the war, Huang Chong specially made a large number of rockets to equip the archers, in addition, Huang Chong also prepared a fierce oil fire pot - a kind of fire pot made of badger oil, ignited and thrown, the fire can quickly spread to the surrounding after the fire pot is broken, but the wooden structure of the building has a deadly threat, in terms of combustion performance, even stronger than the bamboo grenade.

Huang Chong looked at the dense Jin army ships on the river, his eyes shot a cold gaze, following Liu Yin's Northern Expedition, he was the first time to independently undertake combat tasks, although the right protector of the army is equivalent to his status, but this time the army is to support, belongs to the subordinate position, the entire Banpujin front, he is the supreme commander.

Huang Chong is not the kind of brave and good general, but in the generals of the Shu army, Huang Chongsu is known for his thoughtfulness and rigorous style, he makes good use of the morale of the soldiers, and is definitely a good hand in inspiring the morale of the army.

In the face of the surging Jin army, Huang Chong was neither flustered nor nervous, and remained silent very calmly, before the Jin army entered the firing range, Huang Chong would definitely not make any moves.

There was silence on the entire embankment on the west bank, with bows in their hands and arrows on their bows, and the soldiers of the Shu army waited for Huang Chong's orders.

At this time, the ships of the Jin army had already stumbled across the center of the river and began to attack the west bank, which meant that they had entered the range of the Shu army.

With Huang Chong's order, the dense rain of arrows of the Shu army spread towards the Yellow River, and the ordinary arrows were mixed with rockets that had already been ignited.

While fighting with the turbulent river, the Jin army had to face the head-on attack of the Shu army, and in the middle of the river, the Jin army's ships completely became the target of the Shu army, and there was no room to dodge at all, and could only rely on the shield in his hand to resist.

The shield has a certain defensive effect on ordinary arrows, but it is invincible for rockets, after the wooden shield is shot by the rocket, the shield will be ignited, and the wooden boat is flammable, a rocket may be burned after hitting, and the Jin army had to put into the fire extinguishing operation.

In fact, the rocket is just an appetizer for the Jin army, and the more terrifying weapons are catapults and ballistas, the stones thrown by the catapults roar down, as long as they are hit by it, the wooden boat will be smashed on the river surface immediately, fortunately, the number of terrifying weapons such as catapults is limited after all, and the hit effect of the catapult is completely random, most of the time the stones will fall into the river, stirring up a few people high water column.

Compared to catapults, the accuracy of the ballista is obviously much higher, the ballista can be aimed and then fired, and the huge crossbow arrow brings a devastating effect, often a single crossbow arrow can shoot through a ship.

Having to face the turbulent Yellow River, but also having to escape the attack of the Shu army, just like the Jin army surviving in the cracks is extremely difficult, fortunately, the number of the Jin army is enough, although the Shu army has suffered heavy losses under the blow, but there are still a lot of ships began to dock.

It's just that it is close to the shore, for the Jin army, it is an extremely difficult challenge, the Shu army has strengthened the embankment a lot before, and the average height is at least one zhang higher, if it is on flat ground, the height of this zhang may not be nothing, but on the surface of this river, it is not easy to cross the embankment of one zhang and landing.

The closer they got to the shore, the stronger the Jin army was attacked, and the Fierce Oil Fire Tank was truly exerting its power at this moment, because it was close enough that the Shu Army Throwers could throw the lit Heavy Oil Fire Pot onto the Jin army's ship with great accuracy. These throwers are not uncommon in small fishing boats that can only carry three or five people, and they specifically target large boats with dozens or even hundreds of people.

The canisters of oil fell on the ship, and with a crisp sound they shattered into several pieces, and when the inconspicuous sparks burst out in all directions, they immediately burst into flames, engulfing a large ship with hundreds of people in an instant.

In the midst of the fire, the Jin soldiers howled in pain, and many jumped into the Yellow River with flames, and although the fire was extinguished, it was ruthlessly swallowed up by the rapids of the Yellow River.

Although the Jin army approached the shore, no matter how hard they tried, they could never overtake the high ground embankment and the Shu army behind the embankment. If you don't advance, you will retreat, and in the rapids, you can't get ashore, which means that you will be swept downstream by the rushing river.

The canyon between Qin and Jin is dominated by mountains and steep cliffs, the reason why Pubanjin becomes a ferry port is entirely because the two sides of the bank are relatively flat, and the vicinity of Pubanjin is only more than ten miles away for landing, and then go downstream, the opposite bank is a steep cliff again, and the Jin army ships that are washed downstream can only turn back to the east bank, and have to draw a long diagonal line in the river to cut back to the east bank.

Standing on the high ground of Linjin Pass, you can see countless ships rushing towards the west bank of the Yellow River as if hitting a wall, but they are quickly carried away by the rapids and turn back downstream. From the east coast to the west coast and back to the east coast, the Jin ships seemed to be doing useless work, but in the process, many ships were either destroyed or swallowed up, and many Jin soldiers left the east coast and never had a chance to return to the east coast.

It was getting late, and the first day of the Jin army's river crossing operation ended in failure. (To be continued.) )
