Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 76 Attack
The situation at the Yellow River Ferry naturally cannot escape the observation of Ma Chao and other warlord coalition forces in Tongguan.

When they discovered that Cao Cao's army had started boarding boats to cross the river, they immediately knew that Cao's army was going to attack by water.

Ma Chao and others were afraid that Cao Cao would attack Banpu Ferry on the west bank of the Yellow River, so they quickly sent troops for reinforcements.

However, this undoubtedly made Ma Chao and others miscalculate. Yue Fei had no intention of attacking the west bank of the Yellow River, but planned to enter the Wei River directly from the Yellow River and land on the south bank of the Wei River.

Just when Yue Fei's army began to board the ship, the Guanzhong Allied Forces also sent more than 2 troops back to defend Puban.

The actions of the Guanzhong Allied Forces were naturally not hidden from Cao Cao's eyes, and the news was passed on immediately.

"I just said that we can't let Yue Pengju mess around. Now it's better. We finally got the enemy to withdraw their troops from Pubanjin. Now that they have gone back, Xu Huang's plan can no longer be implemented."

"Yes, it would be great if Yue Pengju can capture the south bank of the Wei River. If he can't, I will have to ask the Prime Minister to take a good look at him."

At this time, due to the limited number of ships in the Yellow River, Yue Fei's 1 cavalrymen only brought about 1 people, and only [-] horses, while [-] cavalrymen and more than [-] horses were left behind. ashore.

In the Yellow River, hundreds of ships, large and small, sail upstream.

At the front of the fleet are eighteen unique large ships, which are the gunboats built by Youzhou in the past two years.

The commander-in-chief of this gunboat fleet is Ding Ruchang, who was named a general of the navy by Cao Cao. He has hundreds of gunners and thousands of sailors under his command. He is a force not to be underestimated.

Inside Tongguan, on the city wall near the Yellow River, countless Guanzhong soldiers watched Cao Cao's fleet go upstream along the Yellow River, but there was nothing they could do.

"Father, what do you mean by Cao Piff?" Ma Chao looked at the huge fleet of ships going upstream in the Yellow River, and asked Han Sui beside him.

"I don't know, but it's not hard to judge. Cao's army just wants to be on the west bank of the river. We just need to block them and prevent them from going ashore." Han Sui said lightly.

The reason why the Yellow River was called a natural danger in ancient times was mainly determined by the ancient war mode. In the era of cold weapons, the army had to form a battle formation to be effective.

When the Yellow River landed, it was obvious that a battle formation could not be formed, so Han Suicai was not at all worried that Cao Cao's army would be able to land.

And on the shore, the speed of the cavalry is much faster than that of the boat. No matter where the enemy wants to land, the cavalry can quickly support and block the enemy in the water and cannot go ashore.

In the Yellow River, on a large boat, Cao Cao was talking and laughing with several generals.

"Isn't there a naval force in the pass? Why don't they come to intercept it?" Cao Cao said to the crowd.

"Prime Minister, there are only dozens of small boats in Guanzhong. How dare you resist our Central Plains Navy? You think too highly of them, so they just dare to block it on the shore." A military commander said to Cao Cao with a smile.

"That's right, with the gunboats from Youzhou, the Guanzhong navy will die when they come." Cao Cao nodded.

"Everyone said how powerful this Youzhou gunboat is. I'm going to see how powerful it is today." Another general said.

"I want to see it too." Cao Cao also agreed.

Although he had seen the power of artillery during the gunboat drill, he had never seen a real artillery battle.

This landing on the Weishui River is the real first battle of Youzhou gunboats. Everyone wants to see the combat effectiveness of this gunboat.

It took Cao Cao's fleet three or four hours to reach the mouth of the Weishui River and the Yellow River on a 20-mile waterway.

The main reason is that the current of the Yellow River near Tongguan is a bit fast, and countless boats have spent a lot of effort to cross it.

When they got here, many of the Guanzhong warlords thought that Cao Jun's fleet would turn around and go up the Yellow River.

However, soon, everyone saw that the huge fleet did not go up the Yellow River, but plunged into the 150-meter-wide Weihe River.

The eighteen gunboats took the lead, and the other boats quickly followed.

"All wear armor."

On the troop carrier behind, Yue Fei gave the order to pierce the armor.

At the mouth of the Weihe River, countless Guanzhong soldiers have already been deployed here.

When Cao Jun's fleet entered the Weihe River, the army generals stationed on both sides immediately gave the order to attack.

Suddenly, countless bows and arrows were fired from both sides of the river towards Cao's fleet in the river.

However, at this time, almost all the soldiers on board had already put on plate armor, and even the two thousand horses were protected by thick wooden boards, and the tone of bows and arrows could not cause any harm to the fleet at all.

Above Tongguan, seeing Cao Cao's fleet enter the Weihe River, countless Guanzhong troops quickly came out of Tongguan, and soon tens of thousands of troops gathered on the south bank of the Weihe River.

At this time, in the Weihe River, the eighteen gunboats took the lead and had penetrated into the mouth of the river, but many boats behind them still landed on the Yellow River.

"It's about to start."

In the Yellow River, Cao Cao stood on the highest point of a building boat, holding a telescope made in Youzhou in his hand, and looked at the Weihe River one kilometer away. Eighteen gunboats were lined up. Already aimed at the Guanzhong army lined up on the south bank of the Weihe River.

At this time, on the north and south banks of the Weihe River, [-] to [-] Guanzhong troops had gathered here. They moved with Cao Cao's fleet. No matter where Cao Jun wanted to go ashore, he would be violently attacked by them.

In the open space on the river bank, countless soldiers formed an army formation. As long as Cao Cao's army went ashore, they would be attacked by the superior forces of the Guanzhong Allied Forces.

However, in this battle, it is not Yue Fei's style to forcefully land

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom .

The next moment, amid a blast of horns, eighteen gunboats opened fire on the Guanzhong Allied Forces gathered on the shore.

There are eighteen gunboats, each of which has nearly fourteen guns. In addition to the two guns at the front and rear of the gunboat, there are six guns on each side.

The total number of artillery on both sides of the eighteen gunboats is more than 200.

Two hundred artillery pieces fired at the Guanzhong Allied Forces on both sides of the strait, and for a while, the entire river was full of momentum.

This is the first time a weapon such as artillery has been put into the battlefield on a large scale, and its appearance also symbolizes the arrival of the age of firearms.

After more than 200 cannons were ejected, they slammed towards the military formations on both sides of the strait like meteorites.

It was too close. The Guanzhong Allied Forces on the shore were only more than 100 meters away from the gunboats in the river. At this distance, the shells shot into the army formation almost instantly.

Immediately, as long as the army formation was hit by the shells, a long passage would be plowed out by the powerful power of the shells.

Any person or object standing in front of the cannonball will be torn to pieces by the huge kinetic energy of the cannonball.

Even the thick wooden shields in the front row were like tofu in front of the cannonballs.

Often every shell hit in the army formation can kill and injure a few to a dozen people.

More than 200 shells plowed through more than a hundred gaps in the human wall in the formation of the Guanzhong Allied Forces on both sides of the strait in an instant.
