Chapter 447 Jiang Qin


"Hengjiang Tie Copa?"


Cai Mao was a little surprised. It wasn't that he didn't know this tactic, but it was generally used in relatively narrow areas. The Yangtze River was vast, which didn't mean it couldn't be used at all, but the demand for ships and iron cables was quite astonishing.

First, the iron chain may require thousands of or even two or three kilometers.


Of course, this chain will not be complete, but divided into sections of a hundred meters in length, and then tied to the ship.

In order to bear the heavy iron chain, the ships needed to be large ships, and the smallest must also be a sacrifice of people with 50 to 100 people. The best choice is naturally hundreds of people.


Assuming that the width of the iron cable is two kilometers, it is required to be 40 to 80 hundred meters long iron chain, 80 to 160 giant ships.


"Okay!"


Cai Mao gritted his teeth and agreed to Huang Zu's request: "I will transfer ten tower ships for you and fifty ships for the nobles."

"Not enough."

Huang Zu refused: "At least twenty tower ships and one hundred and twenty stern ships."

"Where do we need so many?"

Cai Yan was anxious. He had only 20 buildings in total. After the division was divided, there were only 180 ships left, and Huang Zu Suo's 艨艟 must be large -scale.


Huang Zu, however, said plausibly: "In this battle, our Jiangxia Navy must be the vanguard. How can I not have big ships in my hands? In addition, Degui, you still need to select two thousand elite soldiers in small boats for me."


Cai Yan was unhappy in his heart, and he was unhappy with Huang Zu's greed: "Why do you want a small boat?"


Huang Zu glared at Cai Yan angrily: "If the other party uses a boat as a lead, jumps the pillar of the boat. Attacking a strategy can be reinforced and strange.

"If you don't want to, I don't need you to allocate the ship to me, just pay for the pillars of the ship's pillar to do it."


Huang Zu's words forced Cai Yan to the corner, and when he boarded it, after a while, he finally nodded and agreed.


After all, the defense of boat pillars is much more difficult than that of a city, and fighting on the water is inconvenient after all. In particular, Cai Mao is not a strong general with strong military force, and hand-to-hand combat in battle is not his strong point.

Thinking again and again, Cai Yan still decided to obey Huang Zu's arrangement, as long as you don't let yourself go to the front line.


As a result, the two reached an opinion, and Cai Yan called out the ship according to Huang Zu's request, while the latter urgently arranged the ship to block the river.


Fortunately, Jiangxia and Xiangyang Water Army are also well -trained. On weekdays, such combat methods are often performed. Although it is temporarily operated, it is very neatly arranged.


By the time of dawn, on the Yangtze River outside the state of the state, a boat wall formed by a large ship appeared on the surface of the river.


These ships are necklaced with iron chains. Between each ship, there are three or four iron chains at different heights, and the two ends are tied to the ships at both ends. Whenever a ship wants to pass between them, it will be blocked by the iron chain, and if not, it will be torn apart.

At the same time, in front of the ship stronghold, there were 800 red horses and walking boats of elite ships waiting in formation. There were two hundred ships on each wing, and four hundred ships were placed in the middle.

In the morning, the Yangzhou Water Army appeared in the downstream.


The size of nearly 2,000 ships is almost filled with all the river surfaces within sight.


In comparison, the Jingzhou Navy, composed of the Jiangxia Navy and the Xiangyang Navy, had nearly 6,000 large and small ships, three times as many as the Yangzhou Navy.

The main force of the Yangzhou Water Army stopped within ten miles away. Only Jiang Qin's Ministry was the pioneer and took the lead in the battle.


"General, the fireship is ready."

Jiang Qin's deputy general walked up to him and reported in a low voice, for fear of disturbing his thinking.

Jiang Qin was very strict, and his military accumulation was deep, and even the deputy general was very respectful to him.


Jiang Qin withdrew his gaze and ordered: "Let's start."

"Well!"


As the deputy general took the order, the flag was fluttered on the vanguard flagship, and the most advanced troops quickly received the order.

The leading warships moved to both sides, revealing dozens of walking boats filled with straw. Each ship had one or two soldiers left to control the direction of the ship.

These ships were raising small sails. Under the control of the helmsmen, the wind force was utilized to the extreme. The speed of the ships began to increase rapidly, and soon they shot towards the Jingzhou navy formation on the opposite side like an arrow from the string.

In the formation of the Jingzhou Navy, a tall and thin man stood tall and proud. It was Chen Jiu, the former commander of the Jingzhou Navy.

Huang Zu gave him the leaders of 800 troops, all of them, and a small amount of 艨艟 to him, and fully responsible for the battle of the former army.


Chen was located in a puppet, and he stood on the tall mast and looked at the movement on the opposite side.


When he saw dozens of boats rushing out and rushed towards one side, he realized that the other party was about to attack.


"Soldiers, the pride will be defeated, and the Yangzhou sailor can be known as the proud soldiers."


Chen Jiu grinned and immediately ordered: "Send the order, prepare the fire prevention camp, and when the enemy ship catches fire, deal with it quickly."

"Here!"

Vice Admiral Chen Ju hurriedly responded, and then ordered the fleet to prepare according to the order with a flag.

When the distance between the two sides was shortened to three to five miles, the helmsmen on the boat began to ignite, ignited the coal coal contained in the cabin, and jumped into the river from the boat after the boat, and towards the boat following the boat behind. go.


Because these ignition things are flammable, the fire on the ship soon grows to an out of control.


The fire boats were like balls of fire, rushing towards the Jingzhou Army on the river.

But at this moment, dozens of red horses suddenly rushed out of the Jingzhou Navy formation.

There were ten people on each boat on these boats, and two of them were holding an iron fork of seven or eight meters long, and they leaned on the fire boat.


After these Jingzhou Red Horses approached the fire ship, they spread out with exquisite boat maneuvering skills and cut into the fire ship formation from the inside. Each to two ships were responsible for one fire ship, and they used iron forks to hit the fire ship. , and then exerted force to change their original course and push them to both sides of the river bank.

"General, I'm afraid the fire attack will be defeated by the enemy."

The lieutenant watched from a distance as the Jingzhou Red Horses dismantled the fire ships one by one from the outside to the inside. The originally dozens of huge fire ship formations were cut off piece by piece like a butcher undressing an ox, and finally disappeared completely. All the fireships were struck by iron forks by the Jingzhou navy, and then dragged to the river bank and burned. Seeing this scene, Chen showed a look of satisfaction, while Jiang Qin's reaction was also very calm, and he did not become angry or anxious because of it.



"Sure enough..."

A sarcastic smile appeared on Jiang Qin's lips: "Jiangxia Navy has been in battle for a long time. It seems that it is too easy to defeat the enemy with fire."

The deputy general was a little disappointed. After hearing what Jiang Qin said, he couldn't help but ask: "General, what should we do next?"

"Previously, I discussed with the Governor of Zhou and the four generals Dong, Gan, Zhu and Huang that the fire attack cannot be tried. If we can succeed, it will be the best. Even if we fail, it will be insignificant. At present, the Jingzhou Navy They are indeed the best in the world in the past, but this little trick can’t help them.”

Speaking of which, Jiang Qin was exposed to excitement, and he laughed: "In this case, let's try how many pounds they have. Lord. "


The deputy generals and the surrounding military school officers and relatives were inspired by Jiang Qin's remarks. They were like wolves and tigers. Please fight.


Jiang Qin caught everyone's reaction and immediately shouted with satisfaction: "Blow the trumpet, raise the flag, and the whole army is dispatched!"

There were more than 400 warships in Jiang Qin's department. Among them, the buildings and large -scale puppets were transferred by Zhou Tai, leaving 400 red horse and walking.


The fire boat that just rushed was not among the warships, but was a reserve transport ship.


Therefore, at this time, Jiang Qin still had four hundred ships in his head, but most of them were small boats, and there were only twelve puppets in the main ship.


There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

As Jiang Qin ordered, more than 400 warships in the striker began to sail, and soldiers began to hang.


However, unlike infantry, navy soldiers often only wear half-length leather armor in order to be flexible, with a small one-handed buckler to increase their protective capabilities.

In the original history, the appearance of the one-handed buckler had to wait until the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, in this time and space, Liu Feng invented it early and put a large number of equipment into the navy. In the army, except for a small number of sword and shield soldiers who can equip them, most soldiers and the environment prefer large tower shields and square shields.

When Chen saw Jiang Qin preparing to charge into the formation, he immediately ordered a flag to warn the rear, and then commanded the ships to move forward to meet the enemy.

Jiang Qin and Chen drove across the two people, facing each other.


Most of the warships on both sides are red horses, and a small amount is the core of the fleet.


The distance between the two fleets is getting closer and closer. When the distance between the two arrows is left, the two sides start to shoot arrows almost at the same time.


It's just that the Yangzhou Army has a small one-handed round shield, but the Jingzhou Army has no shield, only a baffle erected on the bow. With just three rounds of arrows, the Jingzhou Army already suffered heavy casualties, while the Yangzhou Army suffered very little damage.

"Lean in! Come in!"

Seeing that the remote confrontation had fallen into the absolute wind, the officers on the front line shouted, directing the ships to charge, and wanted to rely on the tactics of jumping to save the situation.


After the Yangzhou Army finally shot a round of arrows, the archers retreated, and the soldiers were waiting on the ship to wait for the subsequent impact.


As soon as the ships of the two sides came into contact, the skills were superior to the front, the ship passed by the side, and the skill was inferior to the front hitting together, and the ship was destroyed when he boarded.


There was a tacit understanding that after the ships of both sides approached each other, they began to slow down at the same time. Gang fighting broke out instantly, and it became intense from the beginning.

Different from land warfare, gang-hopping warfare, especially gang-hopping warfare on small boats such as Zouge and Chima, although there is also cooperation, pays more attention to individual bravery.

Personal skills, experience and force are undoubtedly the most important abilities on the battlefield of gang jumping.

At this point, the Yangzhou navy has the upper hand again. It is not inferior to the Jingzhou navy in terms of experience, but it is especially superior in terms of military bravery. In particular, the small bucklers equipped by the Yangzhou Navy once again shone in gang-hopping battles, significantly reducing the casualties of the Yangzhou Army.

But even so, gang-hopping battles are far more brutal than other battles.

It was just a cup of tea, and the two sides fell more than 200 soldiers. The proportion of casualties was a bit different. The Yangzhou Army accounted for only 20 % of the total casualties. The casualties of the Jingzhou Army were almost three times that of the Yangzhou army.


Considering the comparison of the strength of the two sides, the casualties played by the Yangzhou Army are extremely excellent.


Under this huge advantage in the exchange ratio, the morale of Jiang Qin's troops was like a rainbow, and the brigade governor Jiang Qin took the lead and launched a surprise attack on Chen Ju's ship.

Jiang Qin held a double knife, and a small round shield was tied to his left arm, and he took the lead in jumping the boat.


Jiang Qin's jumping ship was a red horse with twelve people on it.


Four of them were at the front of the ship. When they saw Jiang Qin boarding the ship, they were frightened and rushed forward with weapons raised. But Jiang Qin just raised his left hand slightly, knocking away one person's weapon. Then, with a light touch of the long knife in Jiang Qin's right hand, he slit another person's throat.

Blood spurted out, temporarily blocking the sight of the two people behind, and the long knife on Jiang Qin's left hand had already penetrated the waist of the man on the left.

After pulling out the knife, Jiang Qin suddenly turned his body sideways, kicked hard with his right foot, and kicked another person who had just rushed up into the water.

Just a dozen times, Jiang Qin had killed the two in a row and kicked one person.


Jiang Qin is as brave as a tiger and almost unstoppable.

With the assistance of the pro -soldiers, Jiang Qin had only used a minute to kill the living person on the ship. Later, he continued to jump to another Jingzhou warship and continued to kill the ring.


The short tea time passed quickly, and Jiang Qin had already joined seven warships in a row, getting closer and closer to Chen Ju's flagship.

Jiang Qin's bravery deeply inspired his soldiers, and the oppressive Jingzhou navy's middle formation was suddenly deformed. If this continues, the middle line of the Jingzhou navy will definitely collapse under the pressure of the Yangzhou army.

Fortunately, the Jingzhou Marine Army occupied a huge advantage in troops. After the two -winged friends saw the middle road tight, they quickly came to reinforce.


As both the left and right wings entered the battle, Jiang Qin's troops were immediately surrounded by the Jingzhou Army on three sides. The Yangzhou Army's casualties also began to increase significantly, and the battle entered a fierce state.

In the distance, Zhou Tai stood on the observation deck on the flagship mast, carefully observing the battle in the distance.

Seeing the opponent attacking Jiang Qin from three sides, he turned his head and looked at the flag on the mast.

At this time, the flag was fluttering in the wind, and you could clearly see that the southeast wind was blowing.

At this moment, the two boats leaned on Zhou Tai's big ship.


After a few interests, Dong Xing and Gan Ning climbed up the bow and asked Zhou Taihe.
