Chapter 551: : Kusuga Life
Hutuo River should be one of the largest rivers in the state. Its origin is in the northeast of Yanmen County. The river section presents a hook shape. Yanmen County, Dingxiang County, Zhongshan County, Changshan County, Boling County, River Jianjun and Bohai County are both within the scope of its route and have always been to the Bohai Sea. . Fastest update
The Han army was not only in the sea, but also in the use of the river system within the mainland. The troops led by Ran Min used the Hutuo River to advance by water, and the marching speed of the infantry did not slow down the cavalry.
Shijie Zhao’s new capital, Dingxiang, is located not far from the Hutuo River. The first batch of the Han army appeared was the fleet.
When the Han fleet appeared in the Hutuo River section of Dingxiang, Shihu sent a large number of archers to the river bank. Although the nearly 30,000 archers did not organize an arrow formation, the scene where the arrows were all fired really did it. The sun was blocked for a while.
Li Kuang was standing on top of the flagship and looking at the majestic scene on the shore. Shi Jie Zhao Jun didn’t line up any battles, just clumped together in a crooked manner, but the 30,000 archers shooting at the same time was shocking enough, and it’s quite funny. The thing is that no arrow hits even a single ship board of the Han army.
Shi Jie Zhao country now has no navy. Their navy was completely destroyed in the battle of Jizhou, and the period of shipbuilding is not short for today's technology and productivity. Even if the stone tiger abducted a considerable number of craftsmen, the distant water could not save the near fire. It was not possible to rebuild a fleet at all. The shortage of warships was purely to give food to the Han fleet.
"The king has agreed with General Hussar's strategy." Wei Junchi looked at Shi Jie Zhao Jun who was shooting arrows on the shore, and couldn't see the emotions: "We are now in the shogunate of Hussar General."
Ran Min’s Huqi Shogunate was established, and Li Tan’s North Shogunate was cancelled immediately. It was only the first step for the center to relocate the original Huqi Shogunate to the Huqi Shogunate. It has been determined that the Zhengdong Shogunate will also be included. Under the Hussar General Shogunate sequence.
Hussar General Ran Min was undoubtedly the head of the shogunate. Li Tan was the first deputy commander. The marching chief was Xie An, who was urgently transferred from Guanzhong, and the marching Sima was assigned to Xie Ai.
The action of the hub gave everyone on the northern battlefield a more direct and intuitive concept. Xie An used the military position of Zheng Xizhonglang to concurrently serve as the head of the hussar general shogunate marching officer, and Xie Ai served as a civil official of Yushi Zhongcheng and concurrently marched. Sima is equivalent to the fact that the specifications of the General Hussar shogunate are in line with reality, and it is also the emphasis shown by the center.
The main force of the Han army that made the approaching maneuver was led by Ran Min to be stationed on the south bank of the Hutuo River, fifty miles away from Dingxiang. It is more than 70 miles away from Guangmu, and the boundary of Changshan County is nearly a hundred miles away. Less than two hundred miles away to the southwest is Li Tan's original Zhengbei Shogunate sequence.
At present, the troops led by Li Tan are still besieging Jinyang and Quyang. Compared with the previous ones, the difference is that the troops responsible for the siege have launched the battle of ascending the city.
"General Zhengbei used a rock dumper to throw a lot of sandbags. It took half a month to concentrate on the southern wall section and pile up the mound that allows soldiers to charge up." Wei Junchi said admiringly: "It's just a charge. Just slam up the city wall and quickly enter the city."
In fact, the troops sent by Li Tan into the city did not mean that Jinyang was lost. As the guard of Jinyang, Li Tu was very tenacious to organize the blockade. Jinyang’s southern city was fully transformed into a battlefield. There were many buildings and complex streets in the city. The army's fight started with the fight for each house, and the casualties on both sides were not low.
The Han fleet on the Hutuo River is preparing for a long-range strike. The crossbow on each warship is wound with crossbow arrows that are thicker than the spear. After a rapid drum is struck, the soldier who operates the crossbow takes the wood. The mallet struck the trigger hard, and after a huge "instigation", there was the sound of the bowstrings of the bed crossbow, and countless piercing noises in the air. Blood and screams.
The 30,000 Shijie Zhao Jun also made two volleys. All the 60,000 arrows were still floating on the river. The large number gathered together to cover some sections of the river. The arrows floating on the water already had Han warships. The dropped boat is doing recycling.
Shi Hu came to the scene in person, but did not play the banner. He was extremely annoyed that his archers could not reach the Han warships. It was unreasonable to execute three ten thousand chiefs on the spot, as did some people nearby. Poured blood mold.
"The farthest range is two hundred and eighty steps." Zhang Mao said cautiously: "The number should be around sixty. Each enemy warship is about two crossbows."
Zhang Mao was originally the governor of Youzhou. Shihu gave Youzhou to Murong Yanguo. His official post of governor of Youzhou was not dismissed, and then he was given a post of joining the army.
"It's nearly sixty steps longer than the Jin Army's bed crossbow!" Shihu's face was full of gloom, and he glanced at the palace lady who was shaking all over, and squinted at the Han who was already making a U-turn maneuver. Naval Fleet: "It has a range of nearly a hundred steps longer than our bed crossbow."
Of course, Shijie Zhao will make bed crossbows. It is one of the benefits brought by the rule of the Central Plains. The shape is modeled on the Eight-Jun crossbow of the Jin army. Some differences in craftsmanship and different parts lead to backward quality, and the longest range is common. It is between one hundred and eighty steps to two hundred steps.
Not only the bed crossbow, but also the strong crossbow, Shijie Zhao can also make it, but the quality is also backward. For a long time, Shijie Zhao has rarely equipped bed crossbows or strong crossbows, not only because of the backward quality, but also There are factors of weak national power.
Looking at the small boats of the Han army on the river, Shihu already regretted it. The test shot before the volley had long been confirmed to be out of reach. The next two rounds of volley were purely to show the momentum, but suddenly there was no six. Thousands of arrows are absolutely false to say that it is not distressed.
The current Shijie Zhao country is no longer the country that rules the Central Plains. It retreats to places like Bingzhou and Shuozhou where the birds do not shit. The financial resources are very vain for the Hu people. The key is to obtain materials and the like. How many qualified shafts and arrows are sixty thousand arrows!
The Han army’s bed crossbows were fired once again. The scale of 60 in a round is too small for 30,000 people. It can only cause hundreds of deaths and injuries, but the movement is too large, and it can only be beaten. And Shi Jie Zhao Jun, who could not fight back, would be extremely angry.
The bed crossbow has never been purely for causing many casualties, most of the time it is more to hit the morale of the enemy, but rarely can gather hundreds of bed crossbows, thousands of bed crossbows concentrated in one place, there is no history. happened before.
Li Kuang brought the fleet over, that is, the dazzling force came. After they completed the turn of their heads, they slowly reduced their speed amidst the sound of war drums.
"Organize the shield wall to protect your majesty!"
A rush of clappers sounded in the fleet on the river, and the dense black spots among the twenty-odd warships rose to the sky. It was the crossbowmen that fired crossbow arrows.
The longest range of the Han army crossbow is 450 steps. When fighting with the Shijie Zhao army in the early days, the size of the Han army was much smaller than that of the Shijie Zhao army. The Han army used the crossbow, Strong bows and continuous crossbows form a death arrow formation, teaching the Shijie cavalry again and again how to behave.
Shi Hu pushed aside to come over to make arrow-shaped Zhang Haozhu, Zhang Mao, Shen Bian and others. Their location was more than six hundred steps away from the Han army warship. How could they be shot. Not only did he push away the courtiers who wanted to show his loyalty, but he also took out the war sword from his waist and chopped them. He hacked several court ladies to death, and kicked the ministers. It was obvious that he was really angry. .
Each volley fired by the Han army on the river is about a thousand crossbow arrows. The coverage area is too large and it must be loose. However, the death and injury caused far exceed the bed crossbow, making the Shijie archer on the river bank not lose. It's a little bit at the same time.
A few palace ladies who had been smashed to death were there, and the Shiji courtiers who were kicked by Shihu did not even dare to howl. They looked forward to staying in the center and understood Shihu's cruelty. In recent years, Shijie Zhao was the overlord of the Central Plains. Turning into a small country that was forced to a corner, although Shihu deliberately avoided the edge of the Han army, the feeling in his heart really couldn't be described.
Shi Hu is also getting old. The long-term indulgence in female **** has already broken down, and he is no longer the overlord who can use the horse and spear. Some reasons in his character are also worse after the collapse of the body. According to modern medical common sense, it is long-term. High blood pressure, physical weakness, and frequent brain pain, fainting symptoms from time to time, a strong sense of weakness, and a love for power make this person's cruelty even more infinite.
According to the Western Yuan calendar, it is 347 AD. The stone tiger died in 349 AD at the age of 54.
"His Majesty!!!"
A burst of exclamation was that the stone tiger kicked the person but fell down and broke out. The stone tiger who fell heavily on the ground was obviously dizzy and confused, and even had the symptoms of rolling his eyes, and the people around him were at a loss.
Li Kuang happened to capture the chaos somewhere on the shore. He said to Wei Junchi: "Our range is not that far."
Obviously, the Han army's strong crossbow has the farthest range in the world, but it is not exaggerated to more than six hundred steps. Then something must have happened without the Han army's knowledge.
Wei Junchi looked at Shi Jie Zhao Jun who had evacuated from the shore in an orderly manner. It was hypocritical to say that he was a strong opponent without praise. He looked in the direction pointed by Li Kuang. The chaos there was very obvious. Without any banner, he couldn't guess that Shihu had an accident.
Shi Jie Zhao Jun, who could only be shot passively from the shore, was already retreating in an orderly manner. The Han fleet on the river also began to do Yang Fan's movements. Suddenly, there were bursts of howling sounds that appeared at a lower frequency first, and then retreated. Shi Jie Zhao Jun in the middle stopped, and he did not know who was instructed to approach the shore again.
Li Kuang looked at Shi Jie Zhao Jun who had gone back and forth relatively blankly.
The returned Shi Jie Zhao Jun was about two to three thousand people. They howled and rushed to the river, rushing into the water without stopping, one after another, they fluttered in the river, desperately trying to swim and approach the Han army warship.
"Look, those guys are completely crazy." Wei Junchi was actually very confused. He watched those Shi Jie thumping in the water and Zhao Jun swam halfway and sank directly: "Should we shoot some important people to death? Bar?"
Even though Shi Hu just showed signs of fainting and did not really faint, the senior officials on Shi Jie's side were really completely mad. Everything just because Shi Hu was carried on the carriage turned out to have a distorted face and couldn't speak. Simply put, Shihu had a stroke.
People with high blood pressure are prone to strokes. Excitement and anger will definitely cause strokes. Before, Shihu had good luck and didn't have a stroke.
"Should it be?" Li Kuang's emotions were completely mobilized: "Let those guys get closer to stimulate the Hulu on the shore."
Shi Jie Zhao Jun, who had launched two or three thousand into the water, had less than 1,500 fluttering figures within a hundred steps of the Han army's battleship. Their speed was not bad at the beginning, and after a hundred steps or so, they formed a big disconnect. No more than fifty people stayed in the first echelon.
There is no sense of tension in the Han army on the battleship. With the permission of the boss, most of the soldiers laughed and talked about the figures fluttering in the water, even deliberately making big movements to make fun of them.
At least 30,000 pairs of eyes were watching at the scene. At this time, no one thought about why the Han army didn’t shoot arrows. Shijie soldiers began to swim within ten steps of the Han army’s warship. Cheers. The Han soldiers on the battleship were actually cheering.
The Hu people have ruled the Central Plains for decades. As long as they are willing to learn, they can learn to swim. The difference is just how watery they are. The Shijie soldiers who can be the first echelon to get close to the warships of the Han army must not only have good waterability, but also have enough water. Brave and brave, they are not afraid of death, they dare to die, and it is anger to look down on the Han army if they don't let go of arrows~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They have the will to bite the Han army even if they are dead.
"Don't, don't shoot, I'll get the harpoon." Li Mi is a very simple-looking middle-aged man. He really just ran to get a folded harpoon and straightened it with the help of his robe: " Stabbing to death is much more fun than shooting."
The Shijie soldier who was the first to approach within five steps of the Han army's battleship actually couldn't hold it anymore. He swam in that ups and downs, and his speed was not much faster than the turtle got up. The longest time he sank was more than ten breaths. When he floated up again, he was breathing heavily. His face was whiter than snow, his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and his lips were so blue that he was fast-growing. purple.
The decks of the Han army’s warships were generally more than one and a half feet above the surface of the water. In fact, it was the Shijie soldiers who swam there. Most of them had their weapons sinking to the bottom of the river. They were basically bare-handed, and at most they could only be hammer boats. The board is too slippery to bite.
The Shi Jie senior official who sent the soldiers was a brain-dead behavior under anger and panic, all for the purpose of venting anger.
Li Mi found that she could not play the harpoon that was nearly four feet long alone, so she shouted for help. It was a few people who worked together to manipulate the harpoon to tilt down, shouting chants, laughing and joking, looking at that very miserable The Shijie soldier stabbed over...
