The last three kingdoms

Chapter 671 Fighting Pu Banjin Again

Hu Fen boarded the building boat, he decided to conduct the river crossing operation on the building boat, instead of just standing on the bank of the Yellow River to command the battle like last time, he wanted to personally witness the moment when the Jin army attacked Linjin Pass .

As for whether it is safe or not, it is simply a joke. How can such a large and strong building ship be shaken by the Shu army?The facilities on the building are complete, not only equipped with equipment for landing operations, but also defensive facilities. Wet cowhide can be hung on the side of the ship to resist the attack of the catapult. If you think that fire attack can destroy such a super The warship, that is completely whimsical, except that the deck of the building ship is covered with a layer of fine sand as thick as three inches, and each part of the building ship has a large amount of water stored. rescued.As for the bow and arrow attack, it was directly ignored by the rough-skinned and thick-skinned building boat. Have you ever heard of the straw boat borrowing arrows?

All in all, crossing the Yellow River on such a large building boat was like playing for fun. Hu Fen boarded the flagship, surrounded by four building boats for protection, and on the periphery, there were countless small and medium-sized ferries.

Standing on the top deck, Hu Fen looked down at the thousands of boats under his feet, a kind of high-spirited and heroic feeling immediately appeared on Zhang's face, and now he had the feeling of being in command, with the big river going up and down, the torrential waves , Pointing to the country, smiling proudly in the world.

"Attack!" Hu Fen held his sword in his hand, pointed obliquely in the air, and ordered loudly.

The building boats use dual power, with sails and oars. Obviously, sails cannot be used on this big river, but the 32 pairs of giant oars arranged on both sides of the building boats are not decorations. In the cabin on the bottom floor, there are 120 paddlers with big arms and round waists, each of them manipulates one blade. Under the guidance of the chant, they row the paddles in unison. The huge building slowly leaves the east bank pier. , drove across the river.

As soon as the flagship moved, more than a thousand ferries set sail one after another, heading towards the west bank.

The Jin army launched an attack, and the Shu army on the west bank immediately went all out to fight as if they were facing a big enemy.

Huang Chong and Qianhong didn't dare to be careless at all. Although the Shu army had experience in repelling the Jin army and crossing the river, this time the Jin army's attack still gave them an unusual headache. It was extremely difficult to deal with just five buildings. Using the same tactics as before, I am afraid it will be difficult to work.

A Jian had previously stated that he would deal with these five buildings, but Huang Chong and Qian Hong didn't take it seriously. Although they knew that the guards led by A Jian had firearms, they used bamboo grenades to deal with such a ship. A huge monster might not be powerful enough, not to mention that A Jian only brought 200 people, and if he brought 2000 people, it would be about the same. In front of such a huge fleet, 200 people are really too small.

However, A Jian seemed to have a plan in mind. When deploying his defense, he deliberately placed his troops at the place where the Jin army's building ships were about to land, ready for battle.

Even if Ah Jian said that he would be in charge of this area, Huang Chong was obviously still not at ease, and specially arranged for two thousand crossbowmen to assist in the defense.A Jian didn't care either, he was only in charge of commanding the guards he brought, and regarded Huang Chong's two thousand crossbowmen as air.

Building boats have many large oars and are extremely fast. It will not take much time to cross a river as wide as the Yellow River. However, in order for those small ferries to keep up, Hu Fen deliberately lowered the speed of building boats. Keep going hand in hand.

Soon, the fleet of the Jin army crossed the center of the river, and everything on the other side became clearly visible. In Hu Fen's eyes, the Shu army was like ants, neatly arranged on the river embankment. There was a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, and the mantis was like a cart. In front of this giant building boat, the Shu army's position was completely vulnerable.

The front end of the building boat is spliced ​​with whole pieces of hardwood, and the thickness is quite thick. This design is specially made for collision. The collision force of the building boat at high speed is quite astonishing. Warships are often destroyed when they collide, and using large ships to hit the enemy's coastal fortifications can also achieve miraculous results.

In addition, the front end of the building boat is also equipped with a racket. The racket is not only a water warfare weapon that can easily smash the opponent's warship, but also can attack the enemy's coastal fortifications during landing operations. , when the racket shaft weighing a hundred jun falls from a height, the power is simply unstoppable.

The shore defenses of the Shu army are actually quite solid, and wooden fences are installed on the embankment built of earth and stone. If it is an ordinary landing operation, the high embankment alone is enough for the Jin army to climb over. up.

But at this moment, the Jin army who owns the building ships is different. The height of the building ships has already exceeded the height of the embankment. The landing force on the ship can easily open a passage and establish a beachhead.

The key to the landing operation is to seize the beachhead. Only by gaining a foothold on the shore can the results of the battle be expanded. The reason for the failure of the first river crossing operation was that the fleet of the Jin army was trapped in the Yellow River. On the other hand, only the beating is to be done.

At this moment, Hu Fen was full of confidence. Holding the boat made his waist stiff immediately. Seeing that the West Bank was close in front of him, Hu Fen immediately gave the order to prepare the racket to attack, and at the same time ordered the landing troops to enter Ready state, ready to log in at any time.

The five building ships lined up in a "V" formation, which is a formation in which the main ship sinks to the bottom and the two wings protrude. The first to rush to the shore are the two flanking building ships.

The two high-rise boats obviously speeded up their oar frequency. In the bilge, 120 eight oarsmen frantically paddled their paddles under the yelling of the trumpeter, and the two high-rise boats slammed into the river embankment at high speed.

Obviously, the Jin army is going to use the impact of large-tonnage warships to destroy the shore fortifications of the Shu army. If the levee is completely built of stones, the Jin army's buildings and ships will definitely hit their heads and bleed, but Hu Fen was sure that the embankment of the Shu army was built with a mixture of earth and rocks, which was relatively soft, so he dared to hit it so fiercely.

The atmosphere on the battlefield was a bit frozen. The menacing approach of the Jin army brought considerable pressure to the Shu army. No one thought that the Jin army did not pass the battle, but just rushed over. It was extremely brutal and ferocious. The heart of the Shu army instantly All mentioned in the throat.
