Chapter 219
Li Bao and Zhang Shun each led a fleet and attacked the water village in Zhu County directly.
When Jiangnan moved, Jiangbei Su Fei soon knew about it.There are nest pillars (observation towers) in the water village. During the day, people will climb up to look across the river.The ships under Zhang Yi's command are all large ships, which are easy to be discovered.
Su Fei immediately ordered the warships in the water stronghold to attack, and brought out forty or fifty warships, and went directly to fight head-on with Li Bao and Zhang Shun.
The combined fleets of Li Bao and Zhang Shun did not exceed thirty ships.But as soon as the battle started, the results were impressive. The fixed ballistas on the bow and both sides of the ship fired a hail of arrows from a distance. The rain of arrows concentrated around several ships, directly killing the soldiers of Jiang Xia Shui on these ships. Almost empty.
The arrows shot by the fixed ballista on the ship are three feet long, but this length is not as long as the ballista spring, only two-thirds of the spring.The arrowhead is made by pouring molten steel directly, and then it has been polished to a high degree of sharpness.
Since Shen Kuo came out, Zhang Yi's steelmaking technology can be said to have improved a lot.A huge open-pit iron mine was discovered in Danyang County, Danyang County, which is the later Nanshan Iron Mine in Ma'anshan.
Li Hongzhang immediately organized manual mining, and then built a water conservancy steelmaking plant by the river.Graphite (coal) is used as fuel, and most of these graphites come from Wucheng Kingdom.
Wu Chengguo is Sun Quan's feudal kingdom, and it stands to reason that all the minerals should belong to him.You must know that the closure of the country means the property of the entire country and the taxes of the people.
But when Sun Quan surrendered, Wucheng State was controlled by Zhang Yi, and the Sun family was moved to Shouchun. The news of Momo here was basically blocked.According to the law, Zhang Yi is now stealing Sun Quan's graphite.
Zhang Yi also took cover, because there is also graphite near Shouchun, and the reserves are more than Wucheng's.However, Zhang Yi deceived others by only transporting a small amount of graphite, claiming that the steel plant in Danyang used Shouchun graphite.In fact, most of the graphite here is stored by Zhang Yi as a strategic material.
Danyang Steel Factory is not very advanced, but it can produce arrows and swords on a small scale.Because the refining of steel is in place, it is steel when it comes out of the furnace, which is equivalent to a high-quality product that has been refined for fifty or sixty years, and it can be directly put into the battlefield.
Because the mold is too rough, there are many tell grinding machines in steel mills, which are driven by water conservancy, so that the grinding speed is very fast. Fifty or sixty arrowheads can be polished with a cup of tea, which is very fast.
After the arrow shot out, the speed was extremely fast, directly piercing through some weak walls.Like some light boats, after a few crossbow arrows hit, they shot out big holes, even cracked the hull, and poured water into it.
After several rounds of arrows, seven or eight small boats were shot, and hundreds of sailors were shot on board.
Su Fei was also very frightened when he saw that the Caisang navy achieved remarkable results in a quarter of an hour.As soon as his own boat arrived, the boats ahead were basically wiped out.
When they reached the bow and arrow shooting range, Su Fei immediately ordered: "Shoot the arrows!"
The two sides started shooting at each other, and Su Fei found that he was no match at all.The casualty ratio is too high. Hundreds of people died here, but ten of them over there would be good.
Too bad, Su Fei immediately ordered to retreat.
Li Bao and Zhang Shun saw Su Fei retreating, and immediately followed. They had already seen Su Fei's ship, but they didn't let their men attack it.They wanted to recruit Su Fei, not kill Su Fei.Facing these ballistas, no matter how skilled Su Fei was, it was useless.
Su Fei quickly withdrew the water village and relied on the water village to defend.Li Bao and Zhang Shun approached the water village, and then ordered to replace it with a long arrow. The arrow was bound with tung oil, lit and shot out.
Since lard cannot be melted on board, the only option is to use tung oil.
The tung oil ignited the water village, and the water army in the water village wanted to put out the fires.But after shooting three rounds of rockets, the ship was replaced with crossbow arrows, and the soldiers who put out the fire were repelled.
After the water fortress was set up, Li Bao and Zhang Shun withdrew their troops and went back to report to Li Jing.
Li Jing learned that the two men had defeated Jiangxia Navy and asked hurriedly: "Do you think it is possible for Jiangxia Navy to fight?"
Li Bao shook his head and said, "It's very difficult. It will take at least a few days for them to clean up the water village."
Li Jing nodded and ordered: "Tomorrow we are crossing the river. One of you needs to go upstream to stop the Jiangling navy that might come to reinforce it, and the other will keep watching the Jiangxia navy. Also, send a letter to Di Hanchen immediately to let him rush to play." Zhu County."
Li Bao and Zhang Shun nodded and went to carry out Li Jing's order.
The next day, Li Bao led his fleet to the upper reaches of the river, stationed in Shaxian, and blocked the intersection of the river and the Han River.
Zhang Shun took the transport ship to transport Li Jing's army to a landing outside the city of Zhu County.
Huang Zu also noticed Li Jing's plan, and immediately led troops to stop Li Jing from logging in.
Li Jing landed under the cover of Zhang Shun's navy, and faced Huang Zu's army, he could only stay on the shore.
Li Jing tried twice, but there was no progress, so he stood still.
After waiting for two days, Di Qing came from Qichun and threatened Huang Zu from the flank. Only then did Huang Zu know that he had been fooled.
"Damn it, the enemy actually has reinforcements?" Huang Zu found that his brain was not full. Did the enemy come from Qichun?
Being pinched from two sides, Huang Zu was also a little scared.He is still a little self-aware, he has 1 soldiers in Zhu County, but these are just mobs.Moreover, he now only has more than 3 troops, and the rest of his troops are placed in Zhu County and have not been brought out at all.He paid attention to defense from the beginning, and even a mob of [-] people could defend Zhu County.
Li Jing's army numbered 7000, and Di Qing brought thousands of people, not much less than Huang Zu's.Huang Zu saw that he could not take advantage of it, so he quickly withdrew to Zhu County and defended it.
Li Jing and Di Qing joined forces and directly surrounded Zhu County and Shuizhai.Then all the soldiers in E County crossed the river, and surrounded Zhu County with water.
After completing the siege, Li Jing and Di Qing looked at Zhu County and laughed in unison.
Li Jing said to Di Qing: "If Huang Zu knew he had been tricked, what would he think?"
Di Qing said with a smile: "It's definitely not going to be very good. But my lord is really patient. He even endured for several years before getting rid of Liu Bei."
Li Jing shook his head and said: "My lord originally didn't want to destroy Liu Bei, but Liu Bei just wanted to die!"
Di Qing frowned and asked, "Then the master's plan was improvised?"
Li Jing nodded, "It was indeed a temporary idea. Originally, the lord wanted to go up the river from Xunyang and us, and the two echoed each other."
