Chapter 647: Tactical Supremacy (Subscription Requested)
In the vast Poyang Lake, two huge sailors are looking at each other from afar.
Because of the distance, the two sides could only see a handful of black shadows on the opposite side, but each other tacitly sent their warships to test it.
Zhou Yu chose to send twenty large and small three-winged warships, and Han Zhao led the troops to attack. On the other side, the Yuanmeng naval army also sent a Song general who had followed Liu Quan's rebellion in the past to meet the battle.
"Without binoculars, this battle is really boring."
Because it was the first battle with the Shangdu Yuanmeng army, the fat man, Ruoshui and others all came, but it was almost half a day since they entered Poyang Lake with the army, and they didn't even see the face of the Yuanmeng army.
"It's still the last time the copy was enjoyable, the artillery bombardment kept coming, and one was blown up and sunk in minutes." Wakasui also pouted and began to recall the scene of the previous naval battle with the Wa Kingdom.
"So you can be a lord, but you can't be a general." Mo Xiaobai and Chenxi were also beside them, and said with a smile: "Look at Zhibi and 4321, they are all around Gongjin to ask for advice." ”
Ruoshui and the fat man were helpless when they heard this, and then they pulled Dumb to the other side, far away from Mo Xiaobai.
While a few people were talking, the battle in the distant waters had begun.
Han Zhao has been with Zhou Yu for a long time, and at this moment, as a battlefield commander, he has no stage fright, twenty warships set up a wild goose formation on the river, with small boats as the vanguard on both wings, and he himself is in the tail of the formation.
Compared with the warships on his side, the warships on the other side were slowly lined up, but on the other side, the Yuanmeng warships were spread out in a long snake, and more than 20 warships were divided into two columns, and each row was eleven or twelve ships advancing in unison.
It seems that it is going to advance step by step, bulldozing Han Zhao directly on the surface of the lake.
"Scatter!"
Seeing that his opponent was in such a discipline, Han Zhao immediately gave the first order. The two wings began to change formations, and more precisely, the angle of spread was nearly doubled again.
If someone looks from a high altitude, they will find that many three-winged warships have been dispersed at this time. It was also because the spread arc of the two wings was too large, causing Han Zhao in the rear to be directly exposed in front of the Yuan warship.
Seeing that the Song army actually changed its formation like this, the face of the Yuanmeng general immediately showed joy: "Rush forward, the bow and arrow are aimed at the big ship, and if you defeat him, you can win the water battle on the battlefield." ”
As the Yuanmeng warships began to advance rapidly, many sailors had already drawn their bowstrings.
However, Han Zhao was not stupid, how could he stay there as a target in a daze, and immediately let the three warships in the back turn together.
As Han Zhao turned, the Yuanmeng warship also had to turn.
In this way, the formation of the long snake was instantly pulled into an irregular curved arc. And the top of the arc, that is, the outermost warships, were 'exposed' so defenselessly.
"The tactics are so crude, no wonder they will lose to Yuanmeng if they defend against natural dangers." Han Zhao couldn't help but shake his head as soon as he saw the opponent's warship formation, and at the same time let the standard-bearer give the third order.
Wild goose feather array, receive!
When the warships at the front of the two wings received the military order, they also understood Han Zhao's intentions.
Ignoring other opponents, he only approached the three enemy ships that were exposed.
As a part of the scattered three-winged warships gradually converged in the rear, the two small-winged warships directly broke into the rear of the Yuanmeng warships by virtue of the advantage of their small speed and extremely fast speed.
They didn't go to kill the enemy, but along a cutting line, they divided the four exposed warships to attract their attention, so that the four warships were completely out of their one-line formation.
The performance of the two winged warships was almost perfect, successfully pinning down the four target enemy ships.
At the same time, on the other six mid-wing warships that came together, small stone throwers had already begun the first round of projection.
"Boom Boom Boom"
Outflanked in the back, and if he was caught, he was beaten violently.
Two rounds of stone-throwing were fired, followed by the approaching throwing spears, and short spears and short spears were thrown out of the mid-wing warships, and the Yuanmeng sailors on the enemy ships who hurried to the stern of the ship to meet the enemy fell before they could begin to counterattack.
"Kill it!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the commanders of several warships immediately ordered to storm the port.
With a slightly higher hull than the Yuanmeng warship, he could jump directly without a rope after approaching, and within a few moments the four enemy ships were completely stopped.
Many Yuanmeng soldiers were either killed or jumped into the lake to save their lives.
The changes in the rear formation can be said to have happened in a flash of light, and the Yuanmeng warships on the flanks originally wanted to save them, but before they could move, they were pinned down by the other three warships, and they could only choose to concentrate on dealing with the opponent in front of them.
At the same time, Han Zhao led the big ship behind, but after turning, it resumed going straight again. Looking at the almost fragmented Yuanmeng water battle array, he unceremoniously approached the battleship where the opponent's main general was located from the side.
………
After the battle at the front, it will be transmitted back to the main position of the army through the rear warlord boat from time to time.
From the beginning of Han Zhao's encounter with the enemy, changing formations, confrontations, suppressing and finally winning, although he couldn't see it clearly, but through the description of the messenger pawn, everyone could also listen to it.
Tactics!
In addition to building more ships, training more troops, and then gathering together to fight the sea of people, the Yuan and Mongolian naval forces did not have more clever detailed tactics.
Maybe Liu Quan, who was the founder of the Yuanmeng Water Army, had a lot of experience in water warfare, but he didn't pass on his skills, or more likely he didn't want to pass it on at all.
After all, there is such a thing as teaching apprentices and starving masters to death, no matter what industry they are.
In contrast, the water war of the dream is a proper hard power.
The warship is good, the soldiers are strong, and the tactics are clear.
"Conventional operation, a small win is not a big deal." Mo Xiaobai was very calm after hearing the battle report, because this kind of local tentative water war itself was not what Yuan Meng was good at.
The other party was willing to fight such a battle first according to the battle routine, and Mo Xiaobai estimated that Yuan Meng did not expect to win.
Knowing that we can't win or not, we still fight, and we are all focused on Poyang Lake, what do the Yuanmeng people want to do?
Mo Xiaobai held his chin and thought, because this battle was not like the previous layout. In the previous Jiangxi battlefield and Wuyi battlefield, he was leading the battlefield trend, Li Heng and Zhang Hongfan were all led away, and now the Mongolian army is marching westward, and the two sides are in a position to fight hard.
In this case, what the Yuanmeng people will do, it is difficult for Mo Xiaobai to guess.
Before Mo Xiaobai could figure it out, a new battle report came from ahead. The Yuan and Mongolian people again sent fifty warships to try to keep Han Zhao, who had already fought a great battle, in Poyang Lake.
Zhou Yu had been prepared for this and also sent reinforcements. But he only dispatched ten Great Song warships this time, and the purpose was not to fight again, but to cover Han Zhao's withdrawal.
"Is this to be withdrawn?"
"Fight well, why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue?"
4321 and Zhibi were a little puzzled, but Zhou Yu on the side did not explain to the two, turned around and walked towards Mo Xiaobai: "Lord, Yuanmeng has increased his troops in batches, it seems to lure us to press the army, Yu thinks that before Yuanmeng's intentions are ascertained, it is better to temporarily retreat today." ”
