The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 33 Hatred Starts the Hengjiang Water Battle
Lu Heng used Zhuge Liang's strategy of provoking Sima Yi in history to provoke Sun Ce into fighting. But to Lu Heng's surprise, not only Sima Yi endured it!Zhou Yu also endured it!

A whole day after giving clothes to Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's women, not a single soldier from Sun Ce's army left the city, which made Lu Heng wonder if this strategy was ineffective for top strategists.

Just when Lu Heng felt helpless, a systematic voice suddenly appeared in his mind: "The behavior of the host also caused hatred between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Both of them have individual attribute values ​​exceeding 90 points. The current hatred value is 30 points when the hatred system is turned on." .”

This prompt made Lu Heng surprised for a long time. In addition to reputation points, there was a new system?
Lu Heng quickly had a conversation with the system in his mind: "What is the hatred value of the system? What's the use?"

"Hate value is just as the name suggests, when well-known figures in the Three Kingdoms era hate the host, they will generate hatred value. Once hatred is generated, the hated character will never be able to surrender to the host. Please pay attention to the host!
仇恨人物单项属性值超过80点对宿主产生仇恨能获得5点仇恨值，单项属性超过85点可获得10点仇恨值，单项属性超过90点可获得15点仇恨值。

Each character's hatred value can only be obtained once. The current level's hatred value and reputation value are not exchangeable for each other. Enemies will not generate hatred values.

The current host system level is L1, every 100 hatred points can be exchanged for a single attribute to increase the attribute value by 1 point, such as magic soldiers, BMWs, armors, military books, policy books, political books, treasures, etc. The summoned treasures will be in the host within reach.

Please upgrade the system as soon as possible to unlock and redeem more items! "

After listening to the systematic introduction, Lu Heng thought to himself: "It is obvious that magic weapons, BMWs, and precious armors are props to increase force, and a general with complete equipment can increase his martial arts value by 3 points at most.

The book of war is a commanding tool, the book of strategy, and the book of politics correspond to intelligence and politics, and the treasure should be the charm.

For the top generals, every improvement in basic abilities is a process of qualitative change. For example, a strong general has a basic force value of 97 and has three types of equipment and props.

A force value of 100 can be achieved, plus a martial art over 90 must have special skills corresponding to force, and a force value exceeding 100 is completely two realms!
But it's not right, so Sun Ce has long hated me, Lu, to the bone, why did he start this hatred mode now? "

"The system reminds the host that when Sun Ce developed hatred for the host, the system did not bind the host, so Sun Ce's hatred will be counted in the hatred value."

"It seems that the women's clothes I gave were not ineffective, but were seen through the trick and forced to calm down with reason. Zhou Yu can also help Sun Ce cool down. Zhou Gongjin, a terrible opponent, seems to be able to defeat him only with strength.

However, the gap between Zhou Yu and Sima Yi can be seen from the side. Sima Yi did not hate Zhuge Liang for giving this woman clothes, but admired Zhuge Liang very much. "

Lu Heng's siege is short of one, and it will take time to build siege equipment to besiege Yuzhang City, but a water battle on the Yangtze River has started first.

Time needs to go back more than half a month ago, when Lu Heng was still on the dry marching road, and Sun Ce's letter finally reached Moling from the Yangtze River.

Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, Chen Wu, Lu Fan, Zhu Zhi, Sun Ben and other major Sun Ce generals gathered together. When Zhou Yu went south, he was planning to plot Yuzhang County or the northern part of Yuzhang.

In order to ensure that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu left at the same time and that the foundation in the northern part of Danyang would not be taken by Lu Heng, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu only brought Sun He, Sun Jing and some confidants, not to mention soldiers.

But no one expected that Sun Ce would accidentally destroy most of the forces in southern Yuzhang, and suddenly seize the entire Yuzhang County with his two brothers Zhou Yu.

After Sun Ce captured Yuzhang, he wrote to Danyang on the same day and asked the main generals and elites to come. From the waterway to Moling (which was later Jianye and later Nanjing), he took the waterway across the river to deliver the letter for up to three to five days. He marched from the river for about It can be reached in ten days.

However, Cheng Pu and others received a letter from Sun Ce, and when they were about to set off, it was summer that the south wind was uncertain, and hurricanes would blow from the sea from time to time. This time, Han Dang, Huang Gai and others encountered a hurricane and were delayed for several days.

One step behind, step by step behind, Han Dang and Huang Gai led the fleet just out of the port, and within half a day they were glued by the navy led by Jiang Qin.

After several days of pursuit on the river, it turned out that on the day Lu Heng received the news from Sun Ce, he followed Yu Yunwen's policy and asked Jiang Qin to lead the water army to set off to fight across the river.

Gu Yong, on the other hand, waited until Shiyi took office, and hurried to Piling to prepare for the battle against Moling.

But it is said that the backbone of Lu Heng's water army is Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's Haijiao Battalion of three hundred water thieves. After Lu Heng asked Jiang Qin to expand the water army, it now has a scale of [-], not to mention that the Zhu family gave full support after Lu Heng defeated Sun Ce.

At present, Zhu Huan is the clan general that Lu Heng relies on most. It can be said that apart from Lu Heng leading the army alone, the other coach is Zhu Huan.

Today's Lu Heng Navy is not the [-] water barracks, but has five buildings, more than ten fighting ships, boats, and countless boats!
There are also technologies such as the spinnaker, sharp-bottomed boat, and pedal steamer suggested by Lu Heng, which surpass the technology of this era, and no longer rely solely on wind power and human paddling to sail the boat.

At the same time, Sun Ce's lack of background in Jiangdong was completely exposed. Although Zhou Yu asked Cheng Pu and others to prepare ships to go south at any time, most of them were commercial ships or civilian ships, and almost no warships.

The water warfare of this era is very primitive. Except for crossbow and crossbow arrows shooting each other, fighting on the side of a ship, or hitting each other with a scorpion, there are no rockets in this era. In normal history, it will be more than 30 years later. Rocket!
At this time, the three major battles have ended, so the battles of Chibi, Guandu, and Yiling all used torches or fire boats to guide objects to burn. The use of rockets in movies is deceiving.

However, the conditions of use of fireboats are very harsh. It is necessary to look at the direction of the wind, the direction of water flow, etc., and fireboats can only be used under certain circumstances.

This also makes it theoretically possible for grass boats to borrow arrows, because rockets have not been able to burn Zhuge Liang's small boats, but there is no such thing as grass boats borrowing arrows in history.

As for the collision of ships, in this era of flat-bottomed boats, the center of gravity of the flat-bottomed boats was unstable and tilted at a certain angle. Before sinking the opponent, the flat-bottomed boat would capsize before hitting the opponent's boat.

The shape of the boat is narrow and long, the bow can be equipped with sharp weapons, and the speed is fast. It is specially used to attack enemy ships and can break enemy ships.

However, Yangzhou is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and sailing against the current depends entirely on manpower, and it is difficult to collide.

As we all know, Lu Heng conquered the world with his crossbow and wolf spear!

Although god-armed bows and Zhuge Liannu have not yet appeared, crossbows and composite bows using pulleys have been developed and popularized in the army. The use of triangular arrows has given Lu Heng's navy an advantage in water warfare.

The leading position in the above-mentioned technological trees eventually led to the fact that Huang Gai, Han Dang and others were at a disadvantage when they started a war on the river!

The Huanggai water army was not as fast or as stable as the opponent. The number, range, rate of fire, and damage of bows and crossbows were far inferior to those of Jiang Qin's water army, which could only be passively beaten.

Jiang Qin fully demonstrated the potential of a navy general. When the south wind is favorable, Jiang Qin dispatches a fireboat or a scooter equipped with bicycle wheels to hit the yellow-covered merchant ship. Cover fleet shooting.

But he chose not to join Huang Gai, Han Dang and others to fight on the side of the ship. Huang Gai and the others were determined to return to the ship to fight, but Jiang Qin relied on the boat to dodge and continue shooting. If you don't reach it, you can't hit it.

If the merchant ships of Huang Gai and Han Dang encountered a favorable wind, they could barely escape Jiang Qin's range.

But once the wind direction changes against the wind, there is no way to escape and they can only be beaten passively. Huang Gai and others are extremely aggrieved by the beating.

After following and fighting all the way for seven or eight days, Jiang Qin gained a lot. He burned or sank more than ten large merchant ships in Huanggai, and many small ships escaped.

Huang Gai and others had 5000 people, but now there are only less than [-] left, and there are still six large ships and some small and medium-sized ships struggling to support them.

Seeing that there was still one or two days to go to Chaisang, Quan Cong said at this time: "Gongyi (Jiang Qin's name is Gongyi), now it only takes two days to reach Chaisang. If Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Chen Wu and others have fled to the shore, our Haijiao navy can't do their best!"

Jiang Qin patted Quan Cong and said: "Zihuang, I hanged them for seven or eight days, it's not that our Haijiao navy can't catch up with them, it's that our tactics can minimize our losses.

Now Huang Gai and the others only have six large boats and ten medium and small boats. Qin used to "do business" on this river for many years. Before Chaisang, there was a large island in the section of the river in Pengze County, which the locals called Duanyaofeng.

The island cuts the river into two sections. One side is very narrow and can only allow two large ships to pass. The other side is three feet wide, which is much smaller than ordinary. Let a few speedboats follow them. I will wait to stop them across the river here. I will let them go at dusk today. They were all buried on this river!
Flag bearer!Except for the first to fifth ships to stay and stare at them, all other warships set sail and move forward at full speed!
Overtake them, follow me to the front and wait for these bastards to throw themselves into the trap!Ha ha! "

After speaking, all the soldiers were extremely excited and laughed, ready to get their own military exploits.

Huang Gai, Han Dang, Chen Wu and others watched helplessly as Jiang Qin's navy passed through his remnant fleet, leaving only a few fast boats behind.

Huang Gai, who was proficient in water warfare, had an ominous premonition and secretly cried out: "We are approaching Chaisang, and the enemy will definitely go to the narrow river area to intercept us. Damn it!"

Even if Huang Gai knew about Jiang Qin's plan, there was nothing he could do. He was so angry that the boat was not as fast as the other party, and he watched Jiang Qin's navy drive further and further away.

If you forcefully rush through the opponent's interception, the loss will be very huge. Huang Gai immediately asked the Jianghuai soldiers, "This place is not far from Chaisang. Is there a place where we can land?"

The soldier reported: "General Huang, the current here is very fast, and there are dense reefs on both sides. The water line is so shallow that there is no way to land. The nearest landing port is through Pengze County."

After discussing with the generals, Huang Gai had no choice but to turn around and look for the landing port. They would immediately notify Jiang Qin of the existence of these five enemy ships as soon as they turned back. Their ship would be attacked again soon after it was about to leave. catch up.

In the end, the generals discussed, and Huang Gai said that taking advantage of the favorable wind, he gathered all the boats to break through Jiang Qin's water army that blocked the river. Otherwise, when the north wind blows and intercepts the boats that set fire, everyone will be burned to death on the river!

On the river area commonly known as Duanyaofeng in Pengze County, Jiang Qin ordered two building boats to line up, and five boats were connected to the river with iron cables, while Jiang Qin led the main force to block the river. .

The boats of Huang Gai and Han Dang on the river gradually came into view, and Huang Gai arranged all the boats in the shape of arrows, typically rushing into battle.

Regardless of the land battle or water battle, the arrow formation is an attack formation that breaks through the opponent's formation. The largest merchant ship is at the forefront, with rows of sword and shield soldiers in the front row, and the crossbowmen are tightly guarded. rear.

Huang Gai waved his steel whip and shouted: "Full speed ahead! All ships go full speed! Break through the enemy's formation!"

It seems that the lives of Huang Gai and others should not be lost. At this critical moment, the south wind is still blowing, and there is no miracle of Zhuge Liang taking advantage of the east wind!

Huang Gai sailed down the wind, which not only accelerated the sailing speed of the ship, but also put an end to Jiang Qin's idea of ​​attacking with a fire ship!

As Sun Ce's ships got closer and closer, Jiang Qin used the trump card that had been under his hands all the time from several large ships, the bed crossbow!
Hanfeng's short spears were installed on the bed crossbows, and each bed crossbow was equipped with pulleys, which Jiang Qin ordered the craftsmen to install based on Lu Heng's pulley crossbow research since he took over the navy.

This bed crossbow was a sharp weapon for city defense in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It had the disadvantages of being bulky and inconvenient to carry. It was not used in water warfare at the end of the Han Dynasty, probably because the waterline of flat-bottomed ships was too shallow. Shen.

But after Lu Heng changed the boat to a pointed bottom, this problem no longer existed. When it was fixed on the building boat, it became a big killer in water warfare in this era.

Compared with the trebuchet, the bed crossbow has the advantages of high hit rate, easy aiming, and no need to carry heavy stones, etc. A single spear shot can penetrate the wooden ship plank!
When Sun Ce's big ship was more than 400 steps away, Jiang Qin ordered the bed crossbow to launch!

The sound of "swish" pierced the air and shot at the merchant ship led by Sun Cejun.

'Boo, click' Several spears pierced through the front side of the merchant ship with the sound of tearing planks.

There were also several spears that flew directly into the formation of the sword and shield soldiers on the ship, and the shields were directly pierced by the spears. The poor sword and shield soldiers were strung into gourds and fell to the ground to die, along with the archers behind them.

Huang Gai, the commander in the back row, had his eyes cracked and he gritted his steel teeth as if recalling the scene of the first battle with Lu Heng's army. It turned out to be a bed crossbow!Damn it, the naval warships are armed to such an extent!
Huang Gai shouted loudly: "Yi Gong, rush over, rush over, the bed crossbow reloads very slowly, in the middle of a few rounds of volleys, the ship will definitely sink, all the ships speed up and hit the past, if you don't try your best, you will die here!"

A round of bed crossbow volleys did not sink the large merchant ship led by Sun Cejun, but the hull was pierced with several spears like a hedgehog. strength rowing.

The spears of the bed crossbow pierced more of the hull, and only a few unlucky ones were shot on the spot, but a load of boats was shot down, and unless the water quality was particularly good, they would all die on this big river.

When Jiang Qin was 150 steps away, he waved the flag again and said that all the crossbowmen shot arrows, and the overwhelming rain of arrows shot at the oncoming ships.

Seeing the rain of arrows overwhelming the sky, Huang Gai shouted: "Raise the shield! Raise the shield!"

Fighting with Lu Heng's army several times, Sun Ce's army can be said to be one of the armies equipped with the most shields among all the princes!

This round of losses was not too great, and the few wounded soldiers who were shot by the crossbow arrows were dragged to the back row. Han Dang shouted: "The archers fight back! Give me XX shots!"

When the distance was a hundred steps, the bed crossbow fired another round. Huang Gai was secretly startled: "This Lu Heng army really has a tool to speed up the rate of fire of weapons. It's more than twice as fast as usual."

The volley of the gurney crossbow was more accurate than before, piercing through many vital points of the hull in an instant, and the river water began to flow into the hull. Even so, the ship would not sink for a while, and only by continuing to rush over could there be a glimmer of life.

Han Dang, standing on the leading ship and commanding, was shooting and killing Lu Hengjun with his own strong bow, and it would be better if we all died if there was still a hundred steps to rush over...
