Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1354 The Battle of Chaisang II

From Fankou to the south, the speed is very fast.

Although the Yangtze River also had a dry season, it rarely appeared in the environment of the Han Dynasty. Even if it entered a dry season, it would not be difficult for warships in this era to sail.

After all, today's warships are not the kind of future warships that weigh dozens of tons at every turn and have a deep draft.

In less than [-] o'clock, the eight combat battalions of the Jingping Navy, mainly two large-scale ships, hundreds of double-toothed fighting ships, and more than hundreds of warships, the huge battle order has entered the chapel. The range of waters within the territory of the mulberry.

Of course, in order to cover their whereabouts, each combat battalion marched separately, and before marching, the scout ships would sweep the front, at least Chaisang's scouts were wiped out.

That's why they can be so smooth.

On the Violent Bear, Zhuge Liang convened all the generals for the final tactical meeting.

"At present, we have arrived in Chaisang. Fortunately, Chaisang should not have noticed that our warship has entered their range!"

Zhuge Liang wore his battle armor and cloak, and stood in front of the sand table in the war room, with a strong murderous intent on his handsome face, and his stern voice made all the captains feel a little chilled: "Next, we will Fight fast!"

The core of tactics is to fight fast with fast.

They went southward in a sneak attack and walked in the starry night. The purpose was to make a surprise attack. The secret of the surprise attack was to attack quickly. If the enemy army reacted, it would definitely be a big trouble.

The fighting power of Wu Guoshui Army, each of their generals knows in their hearts, perhaps in terms of weapons and equipment, and the quality of warships, they are no less than Wu Jun.

But in real water battles, it is still inferior to the experience and proficiency of Wu Jun's generals.

The Violent Bear Marine Division lacks a lot of experience in water warfare, and the geographical environment does not have as many waters as Wu, and the training cannot produce elites.

Only on the battlefield can the elite come out. Although the Violent Bear Navy has also fought against the Wu Army Navy, it is far from enough in terms of experience and ability.

This is a fact.

"Report!"

A voice sounded from outside.

"Enter!"

"Report to General Zhonglang. There is a water village less than five miles away from us. Our scouts have already fought with the scouts from this water village. The forward failed and failed to wipe out their scouts. Their whereabouts have been exposed!"

"Idiot!" Zhuge Liang shouted angrily.

Of course, it was only the superficial anger, but I didn't pay too much attention to it in my heart. After all, I entered someone else's territory and wanted to block their eyes and ears. It was impossible.

Being discovered is only a matter of time.

It's just that the whereabouts have been exposed now, and it will inevitably have a great impact on the next battle.

"Zhang Yun!"

"The end is here!"

As the Sima of the Violent Bear Navy, he was dispatched from the Jingping Navy last year. He thought that he might die of old age at sea in this life, but he didn't expect to be able to return to Jingzhou. This is a good thing for Zhang Yun.

Although he was also very happy on the Jingping Navy, he was even more happy to be back in Jingzhou.

He also knew that Mujing sent him back mainly because he had experience, and his combat experience in the navy could support Zhuge Liang, the chief general.

He never thought of replacing Zhuge Liang and becoming the chief general of the Violent Bear Navy.

Not that he didn't have ambitions.

He also has ambitions, and he also hopes that one day he can become the chief general of the first army, not the deputy general. After all, being the second child is never as majestic as being the boss.

But his background has already restricted his development for several years in the future. Unless Jingzhou can really be completely stabilized, it is basically difficult for them, the generals of Jingzhou, to assume the position of the chief general of the first army.

After all, Mujing's defense against them always exists.

It is also very good now. During this period of getting along, although Zhuge Liang is a little stronger, and many things have to be done by herself, which greatly restricts her power.

But Zhuge Liang has a good advantage, he can trust people, and he does things fairly, let alone have any fear of surrendering generals, which makes Zhang Yun more gratified.

In addition, Zhuge Liang's experience is too little, which is also better for Zhang Yun, so many times, Zhuge Liang is very modest to ask him about the commander of the navy.

Zhuge Liang's dependence on him is relatively strong, which also establishes his second position in the Stormy Bear Navy.

"Time doesn't wait for me!" Zhuge Liang looked at Zhang Yun and said softly: "So we need to be faster, you immediately take the first battalion and the second battalion, the main force of the two battalions, and raid the enemy five miles away at the fastest speed. Water village, remember one thing, when you fight, you have to be fast and fierce, and you can't let them react, just kill them, otherwise the whole Chaisang will wake up, and we will fight a tough battle!"

"promise!"

Zhang Yun nodded.

The main force of the first battalion and the second battalion did not mobilize the support of the building ships, but directly used five double-toothed fighting ships and dozens of warships to raid a water village at the north entrance of Chaisang.

………………

As the younger brother of Zhu Zhi, Zhu Min is a lieutenant of the Wu Army Navy. He has [-] soldiers under his command, has two battleships, and [-] warships.

The north entrance of Chaisang will be the first pass into the Ming Dynasty. The water flow here is a bit faster, and it is the dividing line between the waters of the two sides. Crossing this line is equivalent to entering the territory of the Ming Dynasty from the waters.

Zhu Min fought for a long time before letting his clan brother let go and build the camp here. In the future, he will be the first vanguard and will surely win meritorious service when he enters the Ming Dynasty.

Wu Guoxin, the great king Sun Jian was born as a brave general, and he has always been very contemptuous of those related to those who are related. In terms of military achievements, Zhu Min became a captain because of Zhu Zhi's relationship, but it does not mean that he is incapable. To prove yourself, you can only win meritorious deeds from the battlefield.

Attacking the Ming country is already a certainty.

And now the Ming Kingdom is about to face an attack from the princes of the whole world, and there will inevitably be a shortage of troops. At this time, it will be very smooth to enter, which is equivalent to an opportunity to win credit.

So Zhu Min prepares every day, and his subordinate Erlang also trains very well. As long as the order from above is given, he will immediately break out of the camp.

It was night, and Zhu Min, as usual, took some soldiers to patrol the warships. He was very concerned about every warship under his command, so he had to check and maintain it every day, so as not to damage it as much as possible.

"Captain!"

At this time, a small boat entered the water stronghold and came in through the sluice at the lower entrance of the water stronghold. All the soldiers on board were wounded and dripping with blood, and one of them was dead with five or six arrows stuck in his body. .

"what happened?"

Zhu Min's pupils changed color, and he asked immediately.

"Master Captain, we have encountered an enemy!"

"Tell me in detail!"

"This evening, we patrolled the waters as usual, but we met the enemy in the reed marsh two miles away. The two sides confronted each other in the dark. Our scouts were uncertain. Three scout ships, 27 scout ships, and two scout ships It was sunk, and 23 scouts were killed, only a few of us escaped back!"

The Marquis Scout was a thin man with an arrow stuck in his arm, but he gritted his teeth and reported the situation without saying a word about the pain.

"Can you be sure who the enemy is?" Zhu Min asked darkly.

In this generation, he didn't find any water bandits.

You know, from Chaisang to Fankou, there will often be sudden battles in this section of waters, and no water bandits dare to survive in this section.

If it's not a water bandit, then it's...

However, the warships of the Ming army never appeared near Chaisang. Basically, Chaisang's warships went north to harass Fankou, and there were no scout ships of the Ming army in this vicinity.

"Lord Colonel, it can't be water bandits. They are very elite. I can be sure that they are definitely elite soldiers. They can only be soldiers of the Ming army and navy!"

The Scout Marquis replied.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Beat the drums, give orders, gather the whole battalion, and light the beacon tower to give an early warning!" Zhu Min is a very decisive person. kind of talent.

At the north entrance of Chaisang, there is a beacon tower. The power of the beacon tower can give early warning when defending, telling Chaisang that the enemy is coming to attack.

But this beacon tower was basically never used after it was established, because very few people could fight into Chaisang.

It is recognized by the world today that even if it is as strong as the Ming army, it is far inferior to the Wu army on the water.

"promise!"

The whole battalion began to move.

"attack!"

But at this time, under the water fortress, warships of the Ming army had already appeared, one after another, coming fiercely, without any intention of stopping, they went on a rampage.

Zhang Yun is a veteran of the Jingzhou navy, so naturally he would not lose to any Jiangdong general in water battles.

Jingzhou's defeat in those years was Liu Biao's failure, which does not mean that Jingzhou's generals were also incompetent. In fact, many of Jingzhou's generals were very capable generals.

In terms of water warfare, whether it is Cai Mao, Huang Zu, or Zhang Yun, they are all among the top water warfare generals in the world today.

He seized the moment quickly.

The water fortress has already begun to move. If they can't race against time and wait for them to react, then the difficulty of attacking will be at least several times higher.

"Don't stop, crash right in!"

Zhang Yun did not take the lead, and the Ming army did not propose generals to take the lead. On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes. Is the core, mainly in the command ability.

He stood on top of the two-tooth battleship in the middle, his eyes were like flames, and his voice was furious: "The warships in front, regardless of everything, broke the sluice open for me!"

At this time, when the race is against time, even if it is only a quarter of an hour to stop, the entire attack will become more difficult.

Boom boom boom! ! ! !

Among the warships of the Ming army, the design of the warships is also very special. There are ramming angles in the front, and some warships have some special weapons placed in the front, just like the rams that smashed open the city gates.

This time, the booming sound of the sluice below the water village shook the entire water village. After all, the construction of the water village is basically in the water, and the entire camp is coherent and based on wood.

Defense does exist.

But the force of the impact plus the impact of the water couldn't last long.

"I'm Yingerlang, have you assembled yet?"

Zhu Min picked up a long knife, put on the battle armor, and rushed out, along the corridor of the water village, looking outside, it was already a bustling fire.

"The first part and the second part have been assembled, and the remaining parts are still being assembled!"

The orderly shouted.

"The beacon tower hasn't been lit yet!" Zhu Min knew very well that since the enemy army had already reached here, they must have made full preparations. He might not be able to rush out, but he had to warn the beacon fire, which was his responsibility. .

"Hoohoo!"

On the beacon tower, flames shot up into the sky.

"it is good!"

Looking at this scene, Zhu Min felt that his mission had been completed. Next, he would fight the enemy well.

"Damn it!" Zhang Yun looked at the beacon fire soaring into the sky, his eyes were a little gloomy: "We are still too careless about the beacon tower built by this water village. We should have taken this water village by surprise attack long ago!"

It's too late to say anything now.

"My lord, what should we do now?" The lieutenant of the First Battalion also had an ugly expression on his face.

"The matter has come to this, we can only wipe out this water village here, and we can't let them escape. Even if there is an early warning, as long as the enemy can't figure out the situation, it will still be beneficial to us!"

Zhang Yun said in a low voice: "In a quarter of an hour, break the water village!"

"Yes!"

The warships of the Ming army became more fierce.

Boom boom boom! ! ! !

At the price of the first battalion of the Violent Bear Navy losing three warships, the water gate of the water village was directly knocked open, and the sailors drove straight in.

"My sons and daughters, make contributions. At this very moment, our navy in Wu Kingdom is the strongest. Let them see how strong we are!" Zhu Min led the army to gather, one by one warships lined up, Gathering their momentum, they were not afraid when they saw the Violent Bear Navy charging in, and they acted very bravely.

"kill!"

Zhu Min commanded, and the archers started to move first.

"attack!"

Zhang Yun also began to explode. At this time, too many strategic deployments had no effect. On the battlefield, what was fighting was tactics, the tactics of arranging troops.

What Zhang Yun listed was the charge formation, with two double-toothed battleships in the center as the command center, and the left and right wings formed a goose-shaped offensive array. The front charge was combined by three double-toothed battleships.

This formation is the most typical offensive formation.

The purpose is to disperse the enemy's formation, and then use more to besiege and less. As long as it goes well, victory will definitely be achieved, and the goal of annihilation can also be achieved.

But Zhu Min is also a sailor, and he is also familiar with the tactics of the navy's offensive. Facing the main attack of the two battalions of the Violent Bear Navy, he did feel a little stressed, but he was not flustered.

"Change formation!"

Zhu Min shouted: "The whole battalion is divided, make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses, each break through and fight out!"

"What a Jiangdong general, he grasped the opportunity very well!" Zhang Yun looked at the enemy's arrangement, his eyes changed slightly, as the saying goes, once an expert makes a move, he will know if there is one.

The response of the young general of the enemy army was quick and in place, and he cleverly avoided the attack of the Violent Bear Navy.

"But if you want to rush out like this, you underestimate us too!"

Zhang Yun sneered: "Change the formation, the front formation continues to charge, the second battalion sieges and kills, puts the crossbow on the bed, and prepares to join the trebuchet to sink their warship!"
