Chapter 2074 The mountains are not high and the water is not deep(2/2)
Is this kind of strategic thinking correct? Is this kind of military thinking very powerful? What are the problems with such military orders?
Fight! It’s necessary!
Just give it to Ollie!
When the military order was passed back and reached Huang Gai's hands, Brother Huang was stunned for a moment, and then he checked the fire paint and dark seal on the military order again, confirming that there was nothing wrong with the military order and that it was indeed sent from Chaisang.
Already...
Since there is no problem, it is natural to follow the military order.
Brother Huang waved the command flag and directed the Jiangdong navy to move forward.
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong!"
The low and slow sound of war drums was like a huge roar, shaking into the soul.
Cao's army was not completely defenseless. Especially at the entrance to the lake, iron chains and ballistae were set up. Once the enemy was stopped in front of the obstacles, they would become targets of attack. If they tried to clear these obstacles, they would of course be attacked.
Focus on taking care of yourself. If you want to maintain balance on a rocking ship and clear those obstacles, your own protection will inevitably be poor, which is the best opportunity to attack.
Huang Gai's two ships at the front were the first to be attacked. As soon as they entered the range of the bow and arrow catapult, Cao Jun began to shoot, and they were even attacked by catapults!
Of course, Cao Jun called it a "Thunderbolt Chariot".
At the sound of the horn, Cao Jun's soldiers raised their wooden hammers high and hit the hooks of the Thunderbolt Cart hard. The heavy weight box suddenly sank down, and the long wooden tip drew an arc and was thrown up.
He cleared the sky and threw a stone as big as his head.
The stone bullets flew in the air, making a harsh whistle, and flew towards the two Jiangdong ships approaching slowly.
Of course, is this accurate...
The stone bullet fell into the water and stirred up a water column two to three feet high. The water splashed in all directions and the sound was shocking.
"Counterattack! Counterattack!"
"Cover and clear the obstacles!"
Huang Gai issued a series of instructions.
The Jiangdong archers on the building boats began to counterattack Cao Jun behind the parapet wall, and the boats, under the control of the oarsmen, slowly approached the place where Cao Jun had set up obstacles.
Jiangdong soldiers are experts in water warfare. They push forward resolutely, neither too fast nor too slow. If they are too slow, they will easily become a living target. If they are too fast, they will suddenly hit the water surface.
On those obstacles, maybe the bottom of the boat will be penetrated and leaked...
The Jiangdong soldier in charge of the detection stared at the long wooden pole tied to the front of the ship. When the wooden pole began to shake violently, he shouted: "Obstacle! Touch the obstacle!"
The military commander in charge stared at the somewhat turbid water and vaguely saw the wooden piles and iron chains hidden under it, and then loudly ordered: "Turn around! Prepare to break the obstacle!"
"Hook, hook!" Jiang Dongbing shouted loudly and threw a huge anchor hook into the water. With a "boom", the iron anchor hook quickly sank, tearing the thick iron chain of his arm.
It made a loud noise.
"Steady! Steady!" Jiang Dongbing shouted while using a wooden pole to push the iron chain, causing the iron chain to change its position and begin to sway underwater. After a while, the iron chain moved and seemed to be hanging.
Something was on...
There are generally two types of iron ropes to block rivers. One type has no underwater fixed points and is just hung on both sides of the river. This type has a thinner chain due to its center of gravity, while the other type is like the obstacles currently set up by Cao Jun.
By driving wooden piles underwater to provide support, thicker iron cables can be used to block the river, and they are also less likely to be cut...
Therefore, directly cutting such a thick iron chain is ineffective, and another method must be used.
When Jiang Dongbing's anchor was hung with an iron chain, he immediately twisted the turntable to tighten the iron chain, and at the same time inserted a latch, causing the winch to become stuck.
A dozen Jiangdong soldiers struggled to throw ballast stones and sandbags from the bottom of the bilge. As the rocks and sandbags fell into the water, the waterline slowly moved down, causing the iron chains to collapse.
It even caused the building to tilt slightly...
Wooden piles buried under water usually have barbs like wolf-toothed arrows. If you drag them by human power or by a winch, you cannot drag such a wooden pile. However, the water
The buoyancy of the ship is naturally more majestic and powerful than the strength of a human being. Amidst the arrows and stone bomb attacks that are getting closer and closer, as more and more stones and sandbags are thrown from the building ship, the taut iron chain finally
There was a trembling sound that made people tremble, and when they suddenly let go, the whole warship suddenly shook. Immediately afterwards, a stream of turbid river water surged out from the bottom of the river, and a huge wooden pile emerged from the water.
A stone bullet whizzed over and hit the top floor of the building with a click. It immediately knocked two Jiangdong soldiers into pieces. Then, with bloody residue all over them, it crashed through the other female wall and flew into the water.
, causing water splashes all over the sky...
"Stop fucking standing there! Move! Keep going, keep going!" Jiang Dongbing's sergeant yelled.
On the battlefield, are there any immortals?
Being stabbed by a gun is death, being chopped by a knife is also death, and being shot by a stray arrow is also death. Although the body looks like it is torn apart after being hit by a stone bullet, some scenes are indeed more horrifying, but they are not all the same.
Death? Since it's all one death, why should we care whether he was stabbed to death by a knife or a gun, or killed by a stray arrow or a bullet?
The sooner we finish the work at hand, the sooner we are free from the threat of death, right?
Amidst the roar of the military commander Qu Chang, Jiang Dongbing started a new round of actions. They did not need to pull out all the wooden stakes, they only needed to deal with a passage, and that was it.
Huang Gai, who was in the rear, asked the sterns to pretend to wait for the shore to fight, and successfully pulled back part of Cao's army, so that the building boats in the river were forced to withstand arrows and stone bullets, and three consecutive ones were pulled out on the river.
