Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

In August of the 18th year of Jianxing, generals Huo Yi and Fu Xun of the Han Dynasty, under the order of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, raised troops to defeat Wu.Huo Yi led an army of ten thousand men and more than six hundred warships, and went back to Jingmen.

Huo Yi personally led the warships of the Han Navy, leaving the water fortress of the Han Army, heading towards the center of the river.In the center of the army formation is the building boat that the chief general Huo Yi rides on. This building ship is as high as four stories, and the hull is as strong as a camp. Each building ship can carry hundreds of soldiers.

Due to the structural problems of the hull, the main combat method of the building ship is not to rely on impact, but to rely on the height of its floors. The soldiers use bows and crossbows to conduct intensive shooting.Or rely on a small number of trebuchets on the ship to throw stones.

On the contrary, the defender of the building ship will cover the ship with a shield or a metal plate to prevent the enemy's crossbow from shooting.

Of course, the building boat also has a way of fighting. When approaching the enemy ship, it uses a long pole to hook the enemy ship.Soldiers can cross the ship's side, start a side-to-side battle with the enemy, and capture the enemy ship.

Around the Huoyilou ship, there are hundreds of warships, fighting ships, and walkers of various kinds.These ships are ready to go, and the soldiers on them are all sailors along the Yangtze River in Badi. They are proficient in the water situation of the Yangtze River and are good at operating ships in the rapids of the Yangtze River to achieve various combat methods.

These ships came out of the village, and saw the towering masts raised the sails, and the dense canvas covered the sky and the sun, and a magnificent scene rushed towards our faces.

Standing on the tallest building boat, Huo Yi looked at the passing ships with a satisfied smile.He returned to the cabin and took a seat. First, he placed the hull models representing his own navy on the sand table representing the Yangtze River channel.

After a long while, Huo Yi said in a deep voice: "In the past, the generals of the great Han Dynasty made great achievements many times, but we, the sailors, did not have an inch of merit. Now that the north shore has been opened, by His Majesty's order, it is appropriate to lead the army eastward and defeat the Wu people's navy. To dredge the great river and the natural moat, to make a great contribution."

"Please order, general." Luo Xian and other generals of the Han army responded.

"Okay!" Huo Yi moved the ship model to the Jingmen Mountain valley on the south side of the Yangtze River on the sand table, and said: "The boat sails to Yiling, if you want to go east, because Huya reefs are densely covered, our army avoids Jingmen and goes down. However, the cross current is fast, It hangs like a thousand feet, and if it is not for riding the wind and sailing, the boat will not be able to enter."

The sharpness in Huo Yi's eyebrows and eyes was even stronger than before, and he stretched out his finger to Yidao, and said: "It has been raining for days, and the river is rising. The timing is a gift from God. The general ordered Zhao Yang to be the vanguard, and lead the warships to go down the river. The momentum below will destroy Wu, and I hope that all the kings will follow in the fight and serve the country with meritorious deeds."

"promise!"

Although Huo Yi has not long been in charge of the Navy, he has strong confidence in the Navy News under his command.The soldiers of the Han Navy are based on the soldiers from the Yangtze River Valley, and they also use people from Ba and Jing as their generals.Although the strength of ships may not be as good as that of Soochow, the big Han has an advantage that Soochow does not have, that is, the advantage of occupying the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

In ancient water battles, when the two sides were not much different, either side of the navy would basically win if the wind and water flowed smoothly.

After all, apart from the use of bows and crossbows and side-to-side battles in ancient water warfare, the most threatening way of combat was to hit enemy ships.Hitting an enemy ship depends on the impact force, but the external impact force that a wooden ship can use is nothing more than wind and water.

Moreover, the dangerous Jingmen River Basin is not suitable for large-scale surface ship operations, but for small naval forces.The big man knows this, so he doesn't build many large ships such as building ships, but builds a lot of small and medium-sized ships of the impact type.

Therefore, although the Han Dynasty does not have as many ships as the Soochow Wu, judging from the navy soldiers and the geographical advantages it occupies, it is not that the Han Dynasty has no advantage in a battle with the Soochow Wu.

Wu Jun occupied Jingmen Mountain, and when he learned that the Han army navy was dispatched, he immediately sent an order to the water village.While the flag was waving, more than a hundred warships of the Wu people's navy appeared on the river with the sun behind their backs, and their sterns cut through the water, occupying a dangerous place in the Jingmen waterway that is convenient for fighting against the current.

At the same time, dozens of warships of the Han Navy sailed down the river, lined up, and rushed towards the Wu Ren Navy at a rapid speed under the action of the turbulent Yangtze River water.

How could the Wu naval forces do what the Han army officers and men wished? They adjusted the rudder, and the boatman shook the oars vigorously, trying to avoid the oncoming Han army warships.

But under the countercurrent, and on the narrow Jingmen River on the south bank, no matter how the Wu navy adjusted, it could not compare with the adjustment speed of the Han warships going down the river.

In the turbulent waves of the river, the turbulent waves beat the shore.The warships of the Han army pierced through the river as if they were facing the sun, with full sails, waves and splashes, they rushed towards the warships of the Wu people.The soldiers on the deck lowered their horses, tightened the ropes in their hands, stabilized their bodies, and prepared for the upcoming battle.

At the moment of the collision, in the terrified eyes of the soldiers of Wu, the warship of the Han army going down the river with a powerful impact, aimed at the side of the ship of Wu, and slammed towards them obliquely.

"Boom!" There were loud noises on the river.

Under the powerful impact, soldiers of the Wu army fell on the deck, knocking them dizzy, or some fell directly to the surface of the river and submerged in the surging Yangtze River.And on the Han army warship, the soldiers of the Han army who steadied their horses and grabbed the ropes of the boat were also brought down by huge force.

Immediately afterwards, the bow and the side of the ship kept touching and rubbing, "click!", and the wooden wall on the side of the Wuren ship was smashed to pieces by the Han ship.The oar on one side of the Wu army's warship was also broken by the Han army's warship, and the Wu army's ship lost its mobility.

Not only that, the hull of the warship of the Wu people swayed under the subsequent force of the Han army's warship, and quickly tilted towards the river, and it was about to roll over.

However, the Wu sailors, who had reacted, scrambled to their feet under the call of the general, found the hook on the side of the ship, and tried to separate from the Han army warship by operating the hook with all their strength.

Gouju was invented by Lu Ban for the state of Chu, when Chu and Yue were at war.The state of Chu is at the upper reaches, and the state of Yue is at the lower reaches. The two countries are at war. Although the state of Yue goes upstream to attack the state of Chu, when it retreats, it can go downstream and retreat easily.

In order to change this unfavorable phenomenon, Chu State asked Lu Ban to make hooks and refuse.Those who reject are hooked, those who retreat are hooked, and those who advance are rejected.With this sharp weapon, the Chu State defeated the Yue State Navy several times and completely became the overlord of the South.

But how could the sailors of the Han army not know that they took up the bows and crossbows in their hands and shot and killed the soldiers of the Wu army who came to operate the hook.Although the ships were up and down, the Han soldiers who grew up in the Yangtze River Basin were able to accurately shoot the Wu people.

For a while, there were endless screams on the river.

The operation of the hook failed, and the oars were smashed by the Han warship, and the Wu army warship was hit and sunk.However, another ship of the Wu army greeted it without fear, and used the hook on the long pole to refuse to connect to the big Han's warship, so that the two ships were tightly connected.

"kill!"

Wu soldiers held single swords and shields. On the shaking deck, they boarded the Han army ships and fought with the Han soldiers.

The most tragic boarding battle has begun!

Soldiers on both sides brandished swords and fought into a group, and the battleships of the two armies were full of swords and swords, and blood splattered.On the river, the sound of war drums and horns, the shouts of soldiers and the screams of wounded soldiers intertwined and resounded through the sky!

……

I don't know how long the fierce battle lasted, the Wu army fleet broke away from the battle of the Han army warships, retreated downstream to the Yidao River Basin, and gave up the battle in the Jingmen River.

Zhao Yang, the vanguard on the deck, cheered and ordered the whole army to pursue.

Standing on Huya Mountain watching the battle, Liu Chan was quite satisfied, but his satisfaction was soon interrupted.

Seeing that the Wu people were retreating, Huang Quan hurried forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please stop Zhao Yang's advance."

"Why?" Liu Chan asked in surprise.

"Look, Your Majesty!"

Liu Chan looked down at Huang Quan's finger, condescending, and saw that Wu Jun used a large number of ships in the Yidao Water Village to cross the Yangtze River.Immediately afterwards, Liu Chan looked up and saw that a large number of trebuchets had been arranged in the Jingmen camp on the opposite bank.

"Order Zhao Yang to retreat, and don't pursue him!" Liu Chan shouted.

Zhao Yang, who drove into the Jingmen River, didn't know it at all, and desperately called on the soldiers to speed up and catch up with the fleeing Wu army warship.

When Huya Mountain waved the flag to signal the stop of the march, Zhao Yang's troops had already crossed half of the Jingmen River under the action of the turbulent water.

The trebuchet on the opposite bank threw stones down, and the stone bullets fell into the cliff hundreds of meters high, and smashed into the river with the sound of howling wind.Either startled a water splash more than ten meters high, or smashed the Han army warships to pieces.

On Huya Mountain, the emperor and ministers of the Han Dynasty seemed to be able to hear the screams of the Han army sailors on the river.

"Oh~" Liu Chan sighed.

The Wu navy who fled in the river turned around and went up, and at the same time the Yidao Wu navy also went up the river to attack and kill the Han warship.

In the front, there was a siege by the Wu army, and then there was a stone rain falling down. The big Han ships in the river panicked, or risked the stone rain and went up the river; or turned north and entered the dangerous Huya River on the north bank...

However, the Han warships that entered the Huya River did not know anything about the danger of the Huya River. All Han warships that entered it almost hit the rocks and sank.A small number of warships escaped from the dangerous Huya River and did not dare to cross the stone rain, so they were captured by Wu Jun's warships.

Huo Yi on the building was holding onto the wooden wall tightly with his fingers, his eyes were full of unwillingness and anger, and he had no choice but to pat the wooden wall heavily with his palm to vent his dissatisfaction.
