Chapter 154: The Great War (3)
On February 3, the sixteenth year of the reign of Longkou.
The two sailors confronted each other from afar, Zhang Fanzhi was on the bow of the handsome ship, looking at the Yiling army ships opposite, a large number of Zhang Fanzhi's personal soldiers were standing on the deck, Zhang Fanzhi's life was not too high, but he was indeed a first-class sailor general, and there were many people on the ship.
From one ship, it can be seen that the whole fleet is strictly governed by the army.
After looking at it for a while, Zhang Fan turned his head and said: "I look at the Yiling Army Water Village is not strict" The formation is mixed, and it seems that it is not as good as our army. ”
Xing Dahai said: "Du Du Yingming, I have watched it a few times, and I feel the same. When I am a soldier, I am willing to be the vanguard and break the enemy army for the governor!", another general, Zhang Xu, immediately said: "General Xing must not monopolize the great merit" and the last general is also willing to go with him. ”
For a while, except for Lu Suhai, who was calm and silent, all the generals asked for battle.
Zhang Fan listened and glanced at it, and couldn't help laughing: "Our army is so strong, it will definitely win." He turned to Lu Suhai and said, "You will go on land this time!", Lu Qihai bowed: "No!", Lu Suhai is eighteen this year, "But he has become a deputy guard, let alone a colleague, even Xing Dahai and Zhang Fanzhi are a little uneasy.
The Yiling army is mainly fighting on the water, and the next step is to attack on land, and the current task on land is nothing more than to take a stronghold first, Lu Suhai understood in his heart, and hurriedly responded.
Zhang Fanzhi nodded with satisfaction and gave the order: "Attack!"
Xing Dahai immediately received the order, and one after another the warships sailed out one after another, "the sails are heavy, and the figures on the deck are numerous", which is daunting.
The drums of war sounded, and the enemy forces approached.
Xing Dahai ordered: "Vertical plank lowering the sail!", the drum sounded, and the command was transmitted, and the iron plates of the arrows on each ship had been erected on both sides of the upper and lower bulkheads, which would greatly enhance the protection against the arrow-based rockets.
When the sail is lowered, the huge hull lù out of the hole, sticking out the long oars "In battle, it is easier to control speed and angle than the sail."
"Ignite!", the torch is lit, igniting the rocket.
"When!"
Suddenly, a large number of rockets struck a field of fire over the river, hitting the full sails of the enemy ships, and the flames rose brightly.
"shè!", the enemy also fiercely returned fire, only to hear the sound of crackling "Most of the arrows were intercepted by the iron plate of the arrow, the sound of clanging was continuous, and a few arrows fell on people, but they were wearing paper armor.
"New Tang Dynasty Book": During the time of Tang Xuanzong, Xu Shang guarded Puzhou, and there were thousands of soldiers, "the strength of the arrow could not penetrate".
It shows that it is flexible and safe" At this time, the person who was hit by the arrow could not wear it at all, but with the trouble of flames, he pulled it out and threw it into the river.
The two ships were wrong, and the latter continued: "shè!", and the three ships passed by, and the ship sank into the smoke of the flames, and the enemy soldiers screamed one after another.
Xing Dahai led ten ships, and the sudden attack was immediately away, the enemy advanced and retreated, and the enemy retreated and I advanced, "from time to time, using the water flow and wind power" long oars, to launch a deadly attack on the enemy.
In a moment, black smoke filled the air and burned on fire.
Zhang Fan swept his eyes, knowing that the victory was in his hands, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Our army is several times better than the Yiling army." ”
It was also the first time that he led himself to train the sailors to officially fight, "I didn't have a bottom in my heart, and at this time I was finally down-to-earth, and I trained by myself, which was not inferior to the Jingzhou Navy."
For a time, shouts of killing and screams filled the river, and the whole river, as far as the eye could see, was full of floating and unsunken wrecked ships and dead bodies, but if you look carefully, most of them were enemy ships.
At this moment, someone suddenly reported: "Governor, a ship is coming." I saw that in this case, there was also a big ship, with flames, desperately rushing straight forward, even ignoring the attacks from the left and right, the purpose was obviously obvious, that is, to go straight to the flagship.
Zhang Fan saw it directly, and couldn't help but let out a cruel smile, and said: "I don't want the enemy army to be like this" and have the courage to "order it to go down, shè kill it!", a moment later, it was the sharp whimper of the crossbow arrow breaking through the air from time to time, only to see that the ship was connected by rockets, but it resolutely did not retreat, and the fire burned everywhere from the bow to the stern.
The first general, armed with a spear, stood on the bow of the ship "roaring and directing the fire to extinguish, and the shè arrows fought back, causing the ship to continue rowing forward."
"Governor, what should I do?"
Seeing that the ship would not retreat and desperately wanted to pounce on it, Zhang Fan said with a cruel smile: "Brave enough, is there no one to bully me?", at this moment, only to hear the sound of "boom", the two boats were wrong, only to see the enemy general on the enemy ship wave, and dozens of Yiling army sailors followed the enemy general and rushed straight to the boat.
"Kill!", there are only a few dozen people in this team now, obviously all of them are the enemy's jīng rui, but as soon as the battle is engaged, I see the enemy will wear armor and fight, and everywhere I go, several Shu troops immediately splashed blood and fell to the ground.
It was difficult for the sailor to use armor, but this team all used iron armor, and I saw that the enemy general was wearing heavy armor, the first to be the vanguard, fighting all the way, and the goal was to take Zhang Fanzhi.
The deck was immediately alarmed and desperately intercepted.
On the deck of xiǎoxiǎo, hundreds of people shouted in unison, and the two armies were fighting each other to the death, and the sound of wailing and anger filled the ship, and in just a few breaths, blood was splashed.
The enemy troops went forward one after another, even if they were cut down and stabbed, "they were obviously seriously wounded, and they should have fallen to the ground a long time ago", but they still rushed bravely and killed unbeatably.
The Shu army on Zhang Fanzhi's ship was "all carefully selected" or retreated.
At this moment, "the cabin, which had been closed, was wide open, and a group of Shu troops poured out from it, all armed with crossbows.
"shè!" The crossbow is fired together at this time, at close range, the crossbow can penetrate the iron armor, only listen to the sound of "exposure", although many of their own people were killed by mistake, but the enemy soldiers who rushed up "suddenly became a lot of hedgehogs."
At this moment, there were still enemy soldiers who rushed up and blocked their bodies in front of the enemy generals.
At this moment, two more big ships came up, both of which were Shu warships, "just when they saw that the Dudu's ship was attacked, they rushed here."
A large number of Shu soldiers rushed up, only to see dozens of Shu soldiers, surrounding the last dozen or so.
The enemy general gasped, even if he had his own soldiers blocking the arrows, there were more than a dozen wounds on his body, and then he scolded: "Zhang Thief" Lao Tzu will take your dog's life if he dies. As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Fanzhi interfaced: "We are each our master, life and death have a fate" defeat is defeat, what does it mean to say this?", paused for a pause to update the fastest, Zhang Fanzhi raised his thumb and said: "What a brave general, I don't want to be a brave general like you" and a brave general like you, who are you? Chen Pu?", "Hmph, I am Chen Pu!", Chen Pu looked at Zhang Fanzhi, "Phew", and spit out a mouthful of blood: "If the water division is trained and commanded by me, it will be like this!", "I heard, you are just a mere deputy general" is still a lieutenant general who has been repeatedly suspected!", Zhang Fan heard this, and said with a smile: "You are loyal, but now you have done your best, you have done your duty, my lord Shu is wise, the world is peaceful, you are such a warrior, you can't die like this." ”
Saying "Order:" Take it!", at this time, "these dozen people, everyone is out of strength" Seeing the soldiers coming up, Chen Pu sighed and "dropped the weapon."
Suddenly, more than a dozen people vented in one breath, lost their weapons and were bound.
At this time, the smoke on the river was billowing "but the battle was over, the Shu army won a golden victory, at this time, it was the time to put out the fire and save the people, and for a while, the ships on the river came and went.
Shi Yan looked at it from a distance on the port, and when he saw the results of the war, he couldn't help but change.
"Lord, what should I do?" The three thousand sailors were wiped out in half an hour, and the situation of the enemy army did not lose much, which suddenly made everyone who came to watch the battle in Yiling change.
Shi Yan looked left and right, sighed and said, "I don't want the Shu army to be so fierce, let's go back to the city first." "My lord, do you want to burn this port?", at this time, someone stepped forward and said.
It is easy for the port to be burned, "a few hundred soldiers, and then burned."
Shi Yan watched the smoke billowing on the river, and his face was uncertain, but he said: "Forget it, God has the virtue of a good life." ”
Hearing this order, the people around couldn't help but change their eyes, the meaning of surrender was already obvious, and the next group of people rolled out.
Zhang Fanzhi ignored these, and after half an hour, the flames on the river were extinguished, and the statistics came up.
"Report, the port has been occupied by Captain Lu. "Report, our army lost 371 killed, 650 wounded, no ship sank, 1,500 captured enemy" 11 captured ships!", there is no record of enemy casualties, because who can count the corpses that fell into the water?
Zhang Fan listened directly and laughed: "The first battle was won, the whole ship entered the port for repair, and it was said that it would march to Yiling!"
The soldiers are fast, and this truth is still understood.
One by one, the boats docked on the port, and a large number of soldiers poured to the ground, at this time, I saw the three hundred people led by Lu Suhai, Ping Pong was in order, the port was originally a water camp, and there were many family members.
A large area of the dock factory warehouse is still intact, "the first to be carried out is the medical officer camp, and the wounded soldiers are carried to the cleaned camp and warehouse.
Trolleys were also waiting, followed by wounded soldiers, and the smell of food was already in the distance.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Fanzhi still admired it in his heart, and there was a little yīn shadow, and he smiled: "It's a talent!", Lu Suhai stepped forward and saluted at this time.
Zhang Fan squinted at this young man, and said lightly: "Good job, you should make a credit!" "The governor commanded the sailors to break the enemy army, and the prestige was great, and the frightened Yiling Taishou hurriedly left Hong Kong. Fleeing, this is the cheapest for me, let me choose the cheapest, and not waste a single soldier to occupy this port, this is the governor's proper command, what credit do I have?" Lu Suhai hurriedly responded.
Hearing this, Zhang Fan smiled and nodded.
At this time, Lu Suhai said again: "I saw that this Yiling Taishou hurriedly fled, and he didn't put a single fire, not even the granary" I knew that he already wanted to surrender, and as long as the governor sent a messenger to go, he could get Yiling immediately. ”
"Hmm, hmm?" Zhang Fanzhi pondered, and after hearing this, he knew that what Lu Suhai said made sense, but when Lu Suhai said this, "He doesn't know why, and he feels uncomfortable."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Fanzhi suddenly smiled and said: "You are right, I also have this thought, then you went over overnight and persuaded Yiling to surrender?", Lu Suhai couldn't help but be stunned, this persuasion is to wait for the news of the defeat of the Yiling Water Division to spread, which makes people uneasy, and to bring the army to the city, so that he can be more sure "Although the enemy army is defeated, it has not yet come back to the memory, and the spirit of mourning is still there, now I will bring a few people to go, this is not the time."
But at this time, there was no room for him to refute, so he had to respond: "No!
