Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 655 Han Shizhong vs Liu Rengui

Just after Huang Tianxiang's attack on Xiaopingjin began, Liu Rengui immediately ordered the warship to support Xiaopingjin after receiving the news.

Huang Tianxiang and the others launched the attack in the middle of the night. When Liu Rengui received the news and the soldiers set off, the sky had already begun to feel a little bit bright.

Moreover, not long after Liu Rengui set off, he had already encountered Han Shizhong, a stumbling block.As a result, a vigorous water battle began.

Liu Rengui, both civil and military, is a character who can fight in the battlefield when he is on a horse, and can govern a party when he is off a horse.In the Tang Dynasty, Liu Rengui was not only a famous general who fought in all directions, but also served as a minister in the court.

In the period of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, in the first year of Longshuo, Liu Rengui led the governor of Fangzhou as a school inspector, joined forces with Silla soldiers, defeated the Baekje Army at the mouth of the Xiongjin River, and relieved the siege of Liu Renyuan, the town general of Baekje Prefecture.

In the following year, together with Liu Renyuan, he defeated Baekje in Xiongjindong.When the army was alone and helpless, he persuaded the troops to stand firm and watch for changes, wait for the opportunity to pull out several fences, and capture the fortress Zhenxian City.

In the third year of Longshuo, Liu Rengui led the navy to defeat the Japanese army who rescued Baekje at Baijiangkou, and burned 400 of his boats.After the peace of Baekje, Liu Rengui was ordered to stay in Baekje.He cultivated farms, trained soldiers, and tried to capture Goguryeo.

In the third year of Qianfeng, he assisted Sikong Li Ji to destroy Goguryeo, and in the fifth year of Xianheng, he led the army to attack Silla.In the following year, he broke Silla's main town, Qichongcheng, and sent the Mohe army across the sea to attack the southern border of Silla, killing many people.

Liu Rengui is definitely a famous general of a generation, and his attainments in water warfare are quite extraordinary.However, Han Shizhong, one of ZTE's four generals, is obviously not easy to mess with, and his skills in water warfare are also not bad.

And as the warships of both sides continued to approach, the bed crossbows and bows and arrows also began to fly out from the ships. Suddenly, the sky was densely covered with arrows, and the buzzing bowstring vibration or wind breaking ll.

The commanding generals of the two sides were no worse than the other. At this time, the gap in military strength began to appear.There are only half of the opponent's strength, so it is obviously very disadvantageous to shoot Han Shizhong's side in a long-range crossbow confrontation.

Fortunately, the damage caused by the bow and arrow to the warship seems to be minimal. Even if the rocket is shot, it will be extinguished by the soldiers on the warship with SARS immediately.Unless, these weapons can directly hit the enemies on the ship.

"Form a conical formation, step forward to meet the enemy!" Since he couldn't establish an advantage in long-range shooting, Han Shizhong had no choice but to engage in close combat.

Following Han Shizhong's order, the messengers around him immediately stood on the highest point of the battleship, waving the command flag in their hands, conveying Han Shizhong's order to the soldiers of other battleships around.

"Send down the order and prepare to take over the ship!" Liu Rengui looked at Han Shizhong's troops who charged and killed, and ordered in a dignified tone.

After a short fight, Liu Rengui had clearly judged that the navy general he was fighting with was definitely a very difficult guy, and definitely not so easy to deal with.

It stands to reason that in the case of only half the strength of one's own side, it should not be so easy to launch melee combat. After all, in "fighting decks", the side with more people often has a greater advantage.But Han Shizhong actually did this, which made Liu Rengui think more.

However, Liu Rengui has nothing to fear, after all, he can command twice as many troops as the opponent.Moreover, to be able to meet such an opponent who is proficient in water warfare in the north, Liu Rengui is already full of fighting spirit at this moment.

The warships of the two sides gradually approached, from fifty feet to thirty feet, and from thirty feet to twenty, ten feet.
Han Shizhong watched the distance between the two sides getting closer, and coldly gave the order "ready to use the racket stick".Since Han Shizhong dared to rush forward to prepare for melee combat when his troops were at a disadvantage, he was naturally prepared.

The racket attack uses the principle of leverage. The device is probably built on both sides of the ship's edge, a two or three feet high shelf in the shape of a horizontal bar, and a pole about eight or nine feet long is placed across it; one end of the pole, Usually there is a conical iron block weighing hundreds of kilograms or a boulder hanging on it.

When the warships of both sides approached, it was time to sacrifice this big killer.

When the iron cone on the racket stick hits the deck or side of an enemy ship from a height of several feet, it can often achieve a surprising effect.With these ancient wooden battleships, if it hits a vital part, even a ship with a displacement of tens of tons cannot withstand a few hits.

When using the racket as an attack method, your own warship will also suffer from "recoil", so the racket usually appears in a symmetrical posture, and the larger the ship, the greater the safety factor of using the racket.

The water warfare weapon of the racket stick first appeared in the late Western Jin Dynasty, but it was researched by Li Xiang in advance during the Three Kingdoms era.After all, something like a racket shaft really doesn't have much technological content. As long as you know the general principle and do a few more experiments, it is enough to research it.

"Boom!" As the ships of the two sides joined forces, the racket rod fell heavily, and the eight-foot-long pole was pulled by the iron vertebra weighing hundreds of kilograms, and slammed into the warship on Liu Rengui's side. .

In an instant, several small warships from the enemy's side were directly smashed to the bow, and even several fighting ships were smashed to the side, and the soldiers on board were also in a panic.

Relying on a water warfare weapon that had never been seen before, Han Shizhong immediately caused Liu Rengui, a famous general who was also good at water warfare, to suffer a big loss.

The only pity is that this cypress pole is inconvenient to operate, and it takes a certain amount of time between each attack and the next effective attack.

In addition, the position of the fulcrum of the pole is not easy to grasp.Once it is too high, the drop of the boulder is limited and the impact is not strong; when the cable on the windlass is loosened, if you cannot hit the enemy ship, you may even hit yourself.

"Send the order, the whole army's warships collide, fight on board, and board the enemy's warships with all their strength!" Liu Rengui ordered while silently calculating the losses caused by Han Shizhong's attack this time, while looking a little ugly.

As long as he can board the enemy's warship, no matter how sharp the enemy's attack just now is, it will be in vain.Similarly, Liu Rengui was also carefully observing the situation of the cypress pole on Han Shizhong's side of the warship.

As a famous general of a generation, Liu Rengui immediately realized that he had to try his best to learn things like Bai Gan back.After all, after the round of attack just now, Liu Rengui has already been deeply touched by the power of this thing.

"General Zhang Shun..."
