Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

After Zhou Yu pondered for a while, he said to Cheng Pu: "Old General Cheng, you order people to prepare a hanging basket on the city wall. If the front line is really defeated, you will use the hanging basket to hang me up when I come back."

Following Zhou Yu's orders, he took Zhou Tai and a group of elite soldiers and rushed towards the river.For some reason, Zhou Yu always felt a little uneasy.

When Zhou Yu arrived with Zhou Tai, it was completely dark, and Zhou Yu naturally took over the command of the front line.

At this time, on the distant river, there seemed to be many shadows of boats in the mist.

The river wind was very strong tonight, and these dark boat shadows shot towards the shore like a sword off the string.

"Qin Jun is here."

"Prepare to fight, and no matter what, we must not let the Qin army come to the shore." Zhou Yu said with a serious face, looking at the shadow of the black boat on the river in the distance.

Wu Jun looked at the river from the bank, and there were dark shadows of boats everywhere on the river.Qin Jun looked at the bank from the river, and there were dark figures everywhere on the bank.

Zheng Chenggong looked at Wu Jun who was waiting in full force on the shore, and thought, Zhou Yu should be the only opponent in this era when it comes to naval warfare.

"Report to the governor, you have already entered the shooting range, do you want to bombard?" Qin Jun asked.

Zheng Chenggong stood on the bow of the boat, pressing the Soochow army on the river.The shelling at this time can indeed catch the Soochow army by surprise.

However, what Zheng Chenggong wanted was to maximize his profits, and he only listened to Zheng Chenggong's order: "The gunboat will not move, and the rest of the soldiers will rush forward."

Zheng Chenggong's order was planned.Qin Jun dismantled the artillery from the big ship and installed it on the small boat.But because the recoil of the artillery is too great, this gun can only be installed on the bow, not on the side.

Therefore, Zheng Chenggong's troops did not carry many artillery pieces, not even much ammunition.Since it cannot be covered by firepower, it can only be targeted with precision strikes.

The reason why Zheng Chenggong ordered the gunboat to stay still, and the rest of the soldiers rushed towards the shore, was to test out the long-range firepower of the Wu army.

Although the Soochow Navy did not have artillery, they also had catapults and bed crossbows.The shield can block the arrows, but it can't block these powerful long-range weapons. These weapons can easily cause huge casualties to the Qin army.

It was precisely because of this that Zheng Chenggong planned to let the soldiers pounce on it first, attracting the main force of the Wu army to fire first, and then fired all the artillery on his side to destroy Soochow's long-range weapons.

Zheng Chenggong gave an order, and except for the gun boats, all the soldiers on both sides rushed towards the shore with rafts.

Now Zhou Yu is dispatching from the shore, so Huang Gai came to the front line to command.Lao Huanggai was captured last time he feigned surrender, and was used by the Qin army to burn the food and grass in Fankou Dazhai.This made Old Huang Gai feel a little ashamed, so he was holding a sigh of relief in his heart.

Standing on the bank, Huang Gai looked at the approaching Qin army ships on the river, and ordered to the messenger in front of him, "Slingshots, bed crossbows are ready."

"Once Qin Jun enters the range, hit me hard."

The river wind was very strong, and the leather raft had a shallower draft than ordinary boats and was lighter, so the Qin army rushed to the shore very quickly.In a blink of an eye, Qin Jun's forward troops had already entered Wu Jun's range.

"Get ready!" The orderly of the Soochow Navy waved the command flag in their hands and shouted loudly.

"Let go!" The command flag in the hands of the messenger waved down heavily.

In an instant, the catapults arranged in advance on the bank began to throw flaming stones towards the river.

These stones are not ordinary stones. These stones are going straight up, and they are all wrapped with hay soaked in tung oil.At this time, it was like a meteorite falling from the sky.

Although the catapult is not comparable to the Qin army's artillery in terms of range, power, and accuracy.But it has an advantage that artillery can't match, that is, it is cheap.

The cost is cheap, which means that it can be equipped in large quantities.This battle is the battle of Soochow's national destiny, and Soochow can be said to have devoted all its strength to the whole country.At this time, there were thousands of catapults arranged on the river bank, among which there were five or six hundred catapults on the front of the yellow cover.

Chapter 378 The Battle of the Beach

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Following the order of the messenger, hundreds of catapults from Soochow along the bank began to project fireballs.All of a sudden, hundreds, even thousands of fireballs hit Qin Jun in the sky.

In the dark night, these fireball bombs slammed towards Qin Jun like meteorites from the sky, making people feel their scalp tingling for a while.

Most of the boats charged by the Qin army were made of leather rafts, which were far more afraid of fire than wooden boats. Therefore, this round of shooting by the Wu army really burned many of the Qin army's leather rafts.

However, Wu Jun only had the chance to shoot this time. The firelight from the catapult had already exposed the position of Wu Jun's catapult.

You must know that Qin Jun's artillery is far superior to Wu Jun's catapults in terms of range and accuracy.

"aim!"

"Adjust the artillery position!" Zheng Chenggong personally commanded the few artillery in the rear.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

"Squeak, squeak!"

"Crack!"

The artillerymen of the Qin Army quickly turned the gears to adjust the position of the fort, and the gears made a sound of rubbing against each other.

"Ready to load!" Qin Jun's flag bearer waved the flag in his hand, and then, only heard "launch."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With the order of the messenger, fifty or sixty artillery pieces of the Qin army roared in unison. The recoil of these artillery pieces was too great, and the ship slid far away in shock.

"Steady the boat!"

"Keep shooting!" Zheng Chenggong continued to order.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After the Qin army ships stabilized the hull, they immediately launched another round of salvos, and the roar of the artillery was endless.

The Qin army's artillery fires are all flowering bullets. In addition to gunpowder, these flowering singles are soybean-sized iron bullets mixed with blade-like iron pieces.

This flowering bomb is not only capable of smashing Wu Jun's catapult into pieces.These iron bullets and iron pieces hit Wu Jun's body. No matter whether you are wearing iron armor or leather armor, as long as you are in the center of the explosion, you will be beaten into a sieve.

Not to mention being in the center of the explosion, even being rubbed against by this thing, it might be a situation that neither kills nor hurts.

"Report to the governor, Wu Jun's long-range firepower has been completely destroyed." A partial general reported to Zheng Chenggong.

Under the suppression of the recent rounds of artillery fire, hundreds of Soochow's catapults had no time to move, and they were all destroyed by the Qin army's artillery fire.

At this time, burning wood fragments were everywhere on the shore, and around these blasted and crushed catapult wreckage, there were horrible corpses of Wu Jun lying.

"How many shells are left?" Zheng Chenggong asked his subordinates.

"Reporting to the governor, there can only be three salvos at most." This person reported.

"Order to smash all the shells on the shore, and it's time for us to charge." Zheng Chenggong ordered.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There were three rounds of shooting in succession. At this time, a small number of Qin troops at the forefront took advantage of the gap between the artillery fire to suppress the Wu army, and had already reached the shore, and began to wade towards the shore.

After firing all the shells, Zheng Chenggong rushed towards the shore with the rest of the soldiers.

The depth of the water on this shore is not enough to reach a person's thigh, but at this distance, it is difficult for a leather raft to move forward.At this time, if you are paddling forward, the oar will be smashed into the mud of the river.The entire raft was hard to move, so when they reached the shore, the soldiers of the Qin army simply chose to disembark and swim across.

"Get into the water and keep them in the water." At this time, Old Huang Gai ordered immediately.

Seeing the Qin army entering the water, Huang Gai immediately took the lead and led his men to meet him.On this shore, the Qin army was powerful, but in the water, the Wu army had an advantage.

Although Huang Gai is so old now, he is still really a fierce player.I saw him holding a knife in one hand, removing his armor with the other, and rushed to the forefront.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

After three calls to kill, the soldiers of the Qin Army and the soldiers of the Wu Army had already won together.This can be said to be a hand-to-hand battle between the two sides. In a short time, the river was stained red with blood.

You know, the shoals by the river are full of mud.When people walk inside, one foot is deep and the other is shallow.The movements of the whole person will appear much slower.

At this time, the fighting on the shallows seemed very primitive.The soldiers on both sides are you stabbing me, and then I stabbing you.The people in front have fallen paper, and the people behind are making up for it.

Qin Jun wanted to rush to the shore, while Wu Jun wanted to squeeze Qin Jun into the river.At this time, the two sides have completely mixed together, and everyone has become red-eyed.Anyway, if you see someone with different armor, then a white knife goes in and a red knife comes out.

"Push forward, keep pressing forward for me."

"Drive Qin Jun to the river." Old Huang Gai shouted madly, holding up the long knife in his hand.

In the middle of the river, no amount of fancy moves would work.The most simple and direct way to kill is to stab, stabbing your long knife into the enemy's body.If you stand and he falls, then you win.

The Wu army had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, but at this time, they did not have the upper hand. On the contrary, the Wu army invested nearly twice as many troops as the Qin army.They fought again in the water where they were better at, but even so, the two sides were still fighting evenly.

At this time, the advantages of Qin Jun's equipment were reflected.Today, all the sailors of the Qin Army wear paper armor.If this paper armor does not get wet, its defensive power can only be regarded as average.

However, once the paper armor is stained with water, the defense power will be doubled, even the iron armor can't compare.The water-stained nails are soft and soft, and when a knife is pierced in, they are soft, and there is no way to apply force.

And this nail has another advantage, that is, after it gets wet with water, it can be used as a life jacket, and it has a natural buoyancy.

Wu Jun had an advantage in strength, while Qin Jun had an advantage in equipment, so the two sides fought evenly.

Huang Gai personally led the people into the water to meet them, and Zhou Yu was naturally on the shore, keeping an eye on them all the time.

"Governor, the situation has reached a stalemate." Zhou Tai said to Zhou Yu with a solemn expression.

At this time, Zhou Yu was watching the scene on the battlefield, and he naturally knew that the situation on the battlefield was at a stalemate.

"Deploy [-] elite soldiers from the left and right flanks, press me forward, and drive the Qin army back to the river." Zhou Yu immediately ordered.

Zhou Yu knew that the Qin army didn't have many small boats, so he subconsciously felt that this front should be all the landing forces of the Qin army.

ps: I recommend a few books of my own, you can read them.

"Being Qin Shihuang's Good Son-in-Law" has 130 million words and has been completed.

"Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and Sacrifice to Heaven at the Beginning" has 55 words and is being updated hotly.

"People in the Qin Dynasty, Shennong Reincarnation at the Beginning" 8 words, new book.

Chapter 379 The Name of the Qin Army Cannot Be Defeated by the Navy

Zhou Yu mobilized another [-] soldiers and horses from the left and right, and threw them into the frontal battle.At this time, the strength of the Soochow army in the front has reached about [-].From the perspective of military strength, the strength of the Wu army is already two or three times that of the Qin army.

In the water was originally the home field of the Soochow Army, but now with the addition of a new force, Soochow has gradually begun to gain an advantage.And, start turning those advantages into wins.

"Beating drums and three links, give me the whole army to charge forward."

"If you retreat again, you will retreat into the river." Zheng Chenggong yelled sternly.

"Governor, there are too many enemy troops, let's," the lieutenant beside Zheng Chenggong hesitated to speak.

"There are too many enemy troops, and there are too many enemy soldiers. Will this battle be impossible?"

"Either die by the enemy's sword, or be driven into the river by the enemy and drown."

"I, the generals of the Qin Army, have never retreated. The army's illustrious reputation, could it be that the water army was defeated?" Zheng Chenggong's words made the generals under him show their faces. The color of shame.

"Take off your armor and go into the water."

"When a soldier retreats, he can be killed, if he retreats, I can be killed, and if he retreats, everyone can be killed." Zheng Chenggong said, taking off his armor, he was going to charge forward in person.

The soldiers wore paper armor on the mountain, but on the generals like Zheng Chenggong, they wore the armor of the generals, all iron armor.They are all wearing iron armor. It is inconvenient to fight in the river wearing iron armor, so if you want to go into the water, you have to take off your armor first.

"Governor, don't go, let's go."

"That's right, Commander-in-Chief, you are the commander-in-chief of the three armies, how can you move lightly."

The generals saw that Zheng Chenggong was really anxious, and hurriedly stopped Zheng Chenggong, saying that they could not let Zheng Chenggong go to the front line.If Zheng Chenggong is allowed to go to the front line, wouldn't it mean that these generals and schools are incompetent.

"Where is this nonsense, all the generals and schools have taken off their armor and went to the front line with me." Zheng Chenggong's voice was vivid.

Seeing Zheng Chenggong's appearance, this group of generals and schools have nothing to say, come on, later on the battlefield, they must protect the governor no matter what.

Under the leadership of Zheng Chenggong, all the generals of the Qin army rushed to the front line.

At this time, the soldiers on both sides have been completely strangled together. There is me in you, and you in me. The two sides are fighting together, and there is no need for any command at all.

Zheng Chenggong, shirtless, personally led the generals to the front to kill.He passed by these soldiers of the Qin Army along the way, making them all look ashamed.

Although it is said that it is because of the disparity in the strength of the troops, which makes the battle unfavorable, but now the coach has rushed forward, it is their incompetence.

"Brothers, rush for me."

"Today is death, and I, Zheng Chenggong, will be the first to die." At this time, Zheng Chenggong had already reached the front and shouted at his soldiers.

Zheng Chenggong came to the forefront, and Wu Jun's Huang Gai also took the lead. When the two met, they faced each other on all sides, and sparks were sparked.

"My husband, Zheng Chenggong, take my life." Huang Gai immediately shouted and charged at Zheng Chenggong.

Why is Huang Gai so angry? Last time he failed to feign surrender and was captured by the Qin army.Qin Jun used him to swindle and open Soochow's camp, and burned Wu Jun's food and grass.

Of course, it was Qi Jiguang who did these things, but this still didn't affect Huang Gai's anger when he saw the generals of the Qin army.
