Liu Mang's army moved, and they have been in Hefei for almost a month! Both the black chess army and the urban management army have been trained. Although they are not as elite as before, they can be said to be independent. Not only that, the benefits brought by this recruitment order to Liu Mang are very real! The people in charge of Gushi, Anfeng, Hefei, Lujiang, and Guangzhou were all prepared by Liu Wei, and Gan Ning's 12,000 sailors simply went directly to Lujiang! Liu Mang wants to set up two navy camps, one in Lujiang and the other in Shouchun, and the dock is the same. Only by building ships together can the two parties ensure that the navy can be launched as soon as possible!
In addition to the trilogy, Liu Mang also gathered nearly 8,000 people, and more than 3,000 people were able to join the Black Chess Army and the Urban Management Army, making the Urban Management Army and the Black Chess Army also expand to 9,000 people! The remaining 5,000 people are basically ordinary people. If they want to beg for a bite of food from Liu Mang, their health is considered good, otherwise it is impossible to run so far! So Liu Mang divided them into five, and accompanied the county magistrates of Gushi, Anfeng, Hefei and Lujiang to garrison in their respective cities.
Liu Wei also pulled out two hundred cavalry battalions belonging to the urban management army. Although Liu Wei's cavalry battalions were not all riding white horses, the heavy armor on their bodies was also silver-white. Two white robes were made, one for each of them, and handed over to the cavalrymen. .
And their commander-in-chief is Zhao Yun, and Liu Mang didn't deliberately choose a name for the two hundred heavy armored cavalry, but directly used Zhao Yun's former elite, the white horse that was the patron saint of the Han people across the Great Wall. From righteousness! Although the number of people is small! But Liu Mang will still expand his army in the future, and heavy armor weapons are okay! The most important thing is the war horse~! It is impossible for war horses to flow out of Hebei. Now there are only two sources for war horses. The first is to take the waterway to the mouth of the sea like Jiangdong, and to import war horses along the coastline to Liaodong! This kind of price is relatively high, and there is another one who goes to Jingzhou and imports war horses from Liangzhou in Xiliang! Not an easy task either!
Although Liu Biao in Jingzhou is in the first month of Lu Bu's army, don't forget that war horses will still be controlled by Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and not only through Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but also Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and Zhang Xiu in Wancheng , and even to reach Shouchun, you still need to walk along the side of Runan! Nor is it an easy path.
In fact, there is another way to get war horses, that is the batch of Arabian war horses brought back by Liu Mang! These war horses are not castrated, and there are quite a few mares, but now that spring has passed, the estrus period of the war horses is over! Therefore, it is impossible to give birth to a foal this year, and it will only be possible until the beginning of spring tomorrow! Even so, they must be supplemented by war horses. Otherwise, when these Arabian war horses give birth to foals, what will those Bingzhou wolves ride
Since the recruitment order passed, Liu Mang's attention has decreased a lot! After all, Liu Mang's recruitment order offended the gentry in the world, and that family is not in the middle of a war now. Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Sun Ce in Jiangdong are fighting like a raging fire. Sun Ce's army once again gained the upper hand a while ago, because there are Capable man, he transformed the warship in another direction, that is thickness, he not only increased the volume of the warship and used twice as much wood to make the warship, but also used all the wood on the outside of the warship. Copper juice and molten iron are poured, and in order to prevent warships from overturning due to their own weight, a design of watertight cabins appeared in the shipbuilding industry at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The entire cabin is filled with watertight cabins. , not only greatly improves the buoyancy of the warship, but even if it is hit by an arrow, even if it is caught on fire, and the hull is shot through, as long as the watertight cabin is not completely destroyed by others, it can still float on the water. One ending is that Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Sun Ce fought a water battle, and also lost dozens of warships. Liu Biao’s warship in Jingzhou was sent to the bottom of the river with his crew, while Sun Ce’s warship was severely damaged in superstructure. But because of the watertight cabin, as long as it didn’t sink into the water, it could be dragged back by other warships after the battle. After repairs by shipyard craftsmen to extinguish the flames, and then to build the missing parts, replenishing soldiers can appear again. On the surface of the river.
Under the ebb and flow, the Jingzhou navy is a bit overwhelmed! Shipbuilding will never be faster than ship repairing, and shipbuilding needs to consume a lot of financial and material resources. No matter how powerful Jingzhou's family property is, it cannot bear this consumption! After a while, Huangzhou and Wuchang were lost again! The Jiangdong navy began to approach Sanjiangkou!
If Sanjiangkou is also lost, then the Jingzhou navy will return to the state before there is no bed crossbow!
Now Jiangdong is full of anger from top to bottom! They spent a lot of money to get the blueprints for making bed crossbows from Lu Bujun from Liu Mang. They were going to catch Jingzhou by surprise, and even gave thousands of craftsmen and gold, silver and jewelry in order to get a promise from Lu Bujun, making Jingzhou Get the drawings one month later, so this month is enough for Jiangdong's warships to be refitted!
But who knew that Liu Mang played with others, instead of selling the blueprints, he sold the bed crossbow directly! Now it's fun! Jiang Dong wanted to catch Jingzhou by surprise! I didn't expect to be caught off guard by Jingzhou! If Zhou Yu hadn't made a prompt decision and learned some information about the anti-bed crossbow, Kuai Liang would have already given him the blame! Even so, Zhou Yu lost Sanjiangkou and retreated all the way! Han Dang's fleet is gone too!
But Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army did not dare to lose their temper on Lu Bujun, so the unlucky one is Liu Biao of Jingzhou! Sun Ce, Tai Shici, Zhou Yu, Lu Su! Sun Ce's lineup can be described as extremely luxurious, with Zhang Shao behind and his younger brother Sun Quan!
And Jingzhou relies on Wenpin, Huang Zu supports the scene, and the Kuai brothers, although they are also first-class counselors, can't be used by several people alone! So the Jingzhou navy is in trouble again, but fortunately, this old man Liu Biao, I don't know if he did too many good things in his previous life! When Liu Biao was in trouble in Jingzhou, a figure of great god level joined the Jingzhou army!
This person is Zhuge Liang who is known as Crouching Dragon. Although Zhuge Liang has not entered an official career before, his reputation is not small! The one who wins the crouching dragon and the phoenix chick can win the world! Although it is bragging, it is also a way of sales promotion by the ancients! It doesn't matter if you don't have a reputation, who will use you! And Zhuge Liang is not a man without talent, once he joined the Jingzhou Army, Liu Biao was overjoyed! It is not a day or two that he wants to get these talents from Jingzhou. When the world is in chaos, Jingzhou is a paradise for him alone, so many celebrities and talented people have come to Jingzhou. These are all great talents! For example, Mr. Shui Jing, such as Mr. Pang De! Liu Biao of Jingzhou has visited many times, but he just hopes that these people will give Liu Biao an official position for his Jingzhou! But every time Liu Biao returned without success, those talents simply looked down on Liu Biao. Even if you are a conservative person, no matter how talented you are, there is nothing you can do if the lord does not seek to make progress! So Liu Biao could only watch those people break his heart.
And now Zhuge Liang, the proud disciple of Mr. Shui Jing, has become an official in Jingzhou. Doesn't this career make Liu Biao happy? What does this mean? It means that those talented scholars living in Jingzhou have ideas about Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but this is purely Liu Biao's wishful thinking.
Zhuge Liang joined Liu Biao's forces in Jingzhou, but he was the only one. Everyone else thought Zhuge Liang was crazy and stupid! But Zhuge Liang was the same as before, and even now a certain black fat man in Runan was stunned for a long time when he heard the news.
As soon as Zhuge Liang joined Liu Biao's army, he didn't accept Liu Biao's good intention to make him the prefect of Xiangyang. Instead, he told Liu Biao that he would join the army and go to Jiangxia to help the two generals Wenpin and Huang Zu. You must know that the situation in Jiangxia is not very good now. OK! The battle damage is very high, and now Wenpin's 70,000 troops are only less than 50,000 left, and the warships have suffered serious losses. It can be said that those in the Jingzhou navy are eager to transfer back to Jingzhou Go inside! And there are none who really want to go to the front line.
Liu Biao is also prepared for the worst, that is to lose Jiangxia and retreat to Shiyang, Wulin Chibi area, and just stay in a stalemate with Jiangdong Sun Ce! But now that Zhuge Liang actually asked to go to the front line, Liu Biao didn't want to agree at first. If something happened to Zhuge Liang in the front line, it would be difficult for him. Liu Biao had an opinion, but Zhuge Liang greeted his master Mr. Shui Jing before he came, and asked Pang Degong to tell Liu Biao that Zhuge Liang wanted to show himself and guard the land for General Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou. After all, Zhuge Liang My second hometown is Nanyang, and I can be regarded as half a Jingzhou native!
Cai Hao, Zhang Yun, and some other gentry are also fanning the flames. They can't wait for Zhuge Liang to go to the front! You must know that Liu Biao gave Zhuge Liang the prefect of Xiangyang, which is a fat job. Xiangyang is one of the most affluent places in Jingzhou. Every day, merchant ships come and go, and merchants from the north and the south trade here! Moreover, the people of Jingzhou are also rich, and they are willing to buy things, so the tax of Xiangyang city can be worth half of the tax of Jingzhou, and the position of Xiangyang prefect can be covered with oil and water with just a little bit of work! How could the Cai family let go of such a fat vacancy!
The Kuai brothers have a good relationship with Mr. Shui Jing, Mr. Pang Degong, and others. They also want to see how Mr. Shui Jing's most proud boss is. The position was released, so everyone used their strength together. Zhuge Liang easily got the position of military adviser of the 50,000 army in Jiangxia, and Liu Biao also wrote in the letter that he needed to discuss with Kong Ming about everything big and small. This is not just a military division! It is a part-time supervisor of the army. It can be said that Wenpin has no autonomy now. Even if he sends troops, he has to discuss it with Zhuge Liang first.
As for Huang Zu, although Jiang Xia is his territory, after fighting for so many days, Jiang Xia was also beaten to death. Their Huang family is also one of the four great families in Jingzhou. One generation gave the Huang family as compensation, and Huang Zu was also a bachelor, so he took his son Huang She and a thousand relatives to take office.
"Zhuge Liang?!" Wenpin was staying in the big camp, and what he was holding was the order given to him by Liu Biao of Jingzhou, which almost made Wenpin Zhuge Liang's deputy. Although Wenpin knew that there was a Nanyang Wolong Zhuge Kongming , but Wenpin's attitude towards such people is to keep them at arm's length! He knew that these people might be talented or famous, but that was all promoted by people, and no one knew the real situation, and there was no need for Wenpin to offend them! But now it's different, a Zhuge Kongming who has just entered an official position has received such attention from Jingzhou Liu Biao, let Wenpin, a general who has made great contributions to Jingzhou, be Zhuge Liang's deputy, what do you think Wenpin will think.
You must know that although Wenpin was not the chief general of the Jingzhou Navy in name, the chief general was Huang Zu, but Huang Zu, but Huang Zu only had 20,000 people under his command, and Wenpin had more than 50,000 troops. Now that Huang Zu is gone, Wen Pin has become the chief general of an army, but his real power is gone. Wait for the next Emperor Zhuge!
"Kong Ming, are you in Jingzhou?!" A black fat man in Runan Taishou's mansion looked at the information in his hand, and he was stunned. Originally, he and Zhuge Liang had agreed to assist their respective masters together, and watched for several years. Afterwards, whoever has the greatest achievements, the one who loses will be a book boy, but now he has come out by himself and found his own master, as he expected, this master attaches great importance to him, even the current master His Master Ming is about to start a war with the person Kong Ming likes, so he has been carefully preparing for a good fight with this former friend, but who knew that the ending would become like this!
"Kong Ming, what are you thinking?!" This was something he couldn't figure out.
What is Zhuge Liang thinking? He himself didn't know that he originally planned to go directly to Lujiang, but the recruiting order prevented him from going directly to Lujiang. He could go directly to Lujiang, but what about after that? Although Liu Mang's recruitment order can bring him a lot of talents in a short period of time, in the long run, this is completely a means that is not worth the candle! He offended the entire gentry, the gentry is so easy to deal with! If this is the case, there will not be four great families in Jingzhou now, instead of the Liu family being the dominant family. Even people like Liu Biao in Jingzhou have to consider the ideas of the gentry, which is why Liu Biao will choose the Cai family to marry Cai. Because of Cai Mao's younger sister, he needs to win over the Cai family so that the Liu family can maintain their rule on the land of Jingzhou! And Liu Mang's recruiting order this time offended all the gentry in the world. It is impossible for these gentry to let Liu Mang take over the world, unless you can destroy them! It can be said that Liu Mang is not struggling at all! Every time an area is attacked, the local gentry fully supports the local princes, and they contribute money and efforts. These gentry have a lot of background!
Liu Mang was originally fighting for the hegemony of the world with the major princes, but now he is fighting for the hegemony of the world with the gentry. Liu Mang will either defeat the old gentry of the gentry, or die in defeat, and Liu Mang is his favorite star. Lord, Zhuge Liang will not let such a scene happen, so Zhuge Liang needs to help him! Staying by Liu Mang's side is a kind of help, but this kind of help is too small and too limited. Zhuge Liang needs more help, so now that he is serving in Jingzhou, give him the whole Jingzhou as a gift!
Thinking of this, Kong Ming's boat gradually sailed towards Shiyang, and the waterway is not safe, so Zhuge Liang needs to go directly to Sanjiangkou by land, but after a one-day journey, Kong Ming and his party arrived at the Sanjiangkou camp. Before arriving in front of the Sanjiangkou camp, there was a warrior leading a team to welcome Zhuge Kongming.
"Is this man Wenpin?!" In Zhuge Liang's eyes, this warrior has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his face is also very handsome. Compared with a general, he looks more like a Confucian scholar. It was completely involved, which made this middle-aged man a lot more dignified.
"This person is Zhuge Kongming?!" Wenpin was also observing Zhuge Liang. Although Zhuge Liang was very indifferent, Wenpin still frowned, because Zhuge Liang was too young. Can be a military advisor? Can it really determine the life and death of an army? Wenpin is a general, what is the most important thing for a general! That is strength! Zhuge Liang just had a better reputation, but a little doll actually crawled on top of his head! Don't be another Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States period is still more famous than Zhuge Liang! In the capital of the Zhao Kingdom, everyone knows it. Even the king of Zhao is very interested in Zhao Kuo because he has learned the art of war since he was a child, and discussed the strategy of war. Even his old father Zhao She, a veteran of the battlefield It can be said that the world prodigy has a much greater reputation than Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou, but what will happen in the end! Zhao Guo was defeated in the Battle of Changping, and 200,000 troops were killed, and Zhao Guo was never able to afford it.
Now Wenpin is afraid that Zhuge Liang is also a Zhao Kuo talking on paper, then it is really over. If that is the case, it is better to surrender to Jiangdong now! It is better than being captured, beheaded, and losing all the fame in the last life.
The two just looked at each other, but it was Zhuge Liang who spoke first, "General Wenpin! Zhuge Kongming in Nanyang has seen the general! Everyone said that the general has the ability of Meng Tian, and today it seems to be true." Wenpin is the chief general of the first army, Even though Zhuge Liang was sent by Liu Biao to concurrently serve as a supervisor and a military adviser, his etiquette cannot be ignored. Zhuge Liang boasted that Wenpin was Meng Tian, and he was getting close to Wenpin. He also knew that he was airborne. He was young and most importantly, he had never commanded a soldier before! Therefore, it is inevitable for Wenpin to be dissatisfied. In order to be able to reconcile with each other, Kong Ming can only praise Wenpin first! At least on the bright side, he wanted to give Zuwen some face.
"Military commander Kong Ming doesn't need to do this! I just have the responsibility of guarding the land!" As the saying goes, you don't hit the smiling face. Although Wenpin is dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang and doubts Zhuge Liang's talent, everyone is praising you now. If you put on a bad face again, it's a matter of quality! Moreover, although Sanjiangkou is now under the control of the Jingzhou navy, it is inevitable that there will be no spies from Jiangdong. If you see a discord between the generals and the generals, Jiangdong will be the one who will see the joke. No matter whoever controls the army, he and Zhuge Liang are for the sake of Guardian of Jingzhou.
"Kong Ming is young, and I hope General Wenpin will not hesitate to teach me what I don't know about the military journey!" This is what Kong Ming said. He Zhuge Kongming is talented, but it is also based on strategy, and it is also on paper. , if Lunce alone, Zhuge Liang could fight Jiangdong alone, but in reality! For example, the hydrology of the Yangtze River, the wear and tear of the warships, and some trivial matters in the army, he Zhuge Liang doesn’t know, because Mr. Shui Jing and the experience in the books can’t talk about it, so Zhuge Liang needs literature. hiring help.
The two chatted politely at the door for a while, and finally a general said, "General, military adviser, let's go to the city and talk again!" Sailor Dazhai, it is better to say that it is a city, it is much larger than Wancheng Naval Dazhai, so this general is said to be entering the city.
A group of people walked towards the city, but Zhuge Liang shook his head, "General Wenpin, let's go to the place where the fleet is first!"
"Huh?!" Wenpin was stunned, now he should be the chief general to entertain Zhuge Liang and welcome him, instead of going directly to the location of the fleet to fight against him, but Wenpin is a general after all, and he is more grateful for battles than banquets I am more interested. So I didn't say much! He took Zhuge Liang and walked towards the fleet. Sanjiangkou was still very big, and the group didn't need to bring horses, so they walked for a while before arriving at the half of Sanjiangkou in the Yangtze River waters. .
"This is our army's warship!" Zhuge Liang looked at the warships in front of the entire water village and said slowly to himself! Although the Jingzhou navy had suffered a defeat in the past two days, it only lost about 20,000. In addition to the ones that Huang Zu took away when he left, it can be said that there are still 50,000 horses here! With 50,000 horses, there are also 160 warships. These 160 warships can be said to be the last capital of the Jingzhou Navy! If you don't hit it, it's gone! That's it, only about 150 of the 160 warships that can really go out are about 150, and the others are either injured or short-handed!
"Yes, military commander, these are our warships! If you come two days in advance, military commander, there are a total of 200 warships here!" Wenpin couldn't help but feel emotional when he saw these warships, because these warships and these sailors are amazing. They are all sons of Wenpin's subordinates. The lord Liu Biao trusted Wenpin and sent 50,000 elite sailors to Wenpin's hands. A fleet of 200 warships! It can be said that if you pull it out, it will definitely block the sky and cover the sun, and the sails will cover the entire Yangtze River Ferry, but now there are only 150 battle-ready soldiers left in the 200 warships!
"The consumption in two days is so high?!" Zhuge Liang was also frowning. Forty warships disappeared in two days. How to fight when the ship is gone!
"In the past two days, Sun Ce's navy has been attacking in a hurry, without stopping day and night. Our army retreated from Huangzhou to Wuchang, and from Wuchang to Sanjiangkou!" Wen Pin was also very helpless. The crossbow can solve many battles, but the bed crossbow always runs out of shots. Once the bed crossbow is used up, it takes time to reload, so the boarding battle has once again become the protagonist of the battle between the two armies, and Wenpin's generals really There are very few, and even less can be fought, and what about the Jiangdong Navy on the opposite side! Taishi Cihuang Gai is among the martial arts masters, and Sun Ce also appears from time to time, and some other generals are not weak! These are not the key. After all, Jingzhou has a large number of people. The key to being able to afford it now is that Jingzhou is beginning to be unable to afford it!
As for the war in the previous two days, 200 warships were sent out, and only 160 ships were left in the end, and dozens of ships were wounded. ! Although their warships also lost nearly 30 warships, those warships that were shot by the bed crossbows would not sink. As long as the bed crossbows above them were not destroyed, they would be forts on the water!
This led to a big loss for the Jingzhou navy. Their warships also ate a wave of giant arrows from the bed crossbow and were sent directly to the bottom of the river. It was able to be pulled back to the dock by friendly warships for repairs, and after ten days and a half months, it appeared on the river again. It can be said that the Jingzhou navy has lost 20 ships and sank at most four ships on the opposite side. How can it be fought like this! Five to one battle loss!
Now on a warship, apart from the warship itself worth a hundred gold, there are also those bed crossbows that are also very expensive. Five bed crossbows are not cheaper than a warship! The war is all money, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou can't afford it. If it weren't for the fact that the Jiangdong Shipyard is far away from here, I'm afraid Sanjiangkou would not be able to keep it!
Zhuge Liang looked at the warships injured by the bed crossbow. These ships were basically shot through the bottom of the ship, while the superstructure was rarely damaged. Just shooting through the bottom of the ship can sink you, and you need to attack the upper layer What is the building for
"Can the bottom of the boat be reinforced?" Since the bottom of the boat is the focus of attention, it is enough to reinforce the bottom of the boat. Kong Ming looked at Wenpin.
"It won't work!" Wenpin shook his head listening to Kong Ming's question. It's not that Wenpin hasn't tried it before. The Jiangdong navy on the opposite side just reinforced the bottom of the ship. They added a lot of copper water to the bottom of the ship and added layers of Iron skin, the result of this is that the giant arrows of the bed crossbow often have to shoot several shots before they can really shoot through a Jiangdong warship! When Wenpin saw those iron sheets, he also tried to ask the boatmen to add iron sheets to thicken the bottom of the building, but what was the final result! That is, the warship can't bear the heavy load, and the whole bottom of the ship will be pressed under the water surface. If it is usually used, it is fortunate that once there is a storm, it is ready to sink! I haven't met the enemy yet, and I'm about to sink to the bottom of the river, so what a fart! Therefore, Wenpin resolutely stopped this modification.
"Dismantled!" Kong Ming approached a warship and looked at it for a long time and suddenly said this sentence.
"Demolition?!" Wenpin was very puzzled, what does this Zhuge military division want to do! what? Dismantling warships? Or disassemble what!
"Tear down those, those, those all!" Zhuge Liang pointed to a building boat and showed it to Wenpin one by one.
Following Zhuge Liang's gaze, Wen Pin discovered that Zhuge Liang's value was all on the superstructure of the building, that is, those floors.
"Nonsense, how can those be dismantled!" Wenpin couldn't help using his anger, building ships and building ships, only those upper battle towers can have building ships, those building ships can not only be suppressed with bows and arrows condescendingly, but can also be used as The watchtower observes the enemy ships, and the sails are also on those superstructures. Even the taller the buildings, the representative is the strength of a navy! For example, Wenpin's flagship and Zhou Yu's flagship, their warships are a bit larger than ordinary building ships, and their superstructures are also much larger.
These buildings and boats are actually a city wall above the water for the navy warriors. If there are no superstructures, how can the sailors resist the incoming arrow rain!
"If you don't dismantle it, then you just wait for the Jiangdong navy to send you, Wenpin, and all these navy officers and soldiers to the bottom of the Yangtze River to feed the bastard!" Zhuge Liang became impolite. Although Zhuge Liang was inexperienced, But he has an astonishing attainment in mechanics. Looking at those warships, he can see that there are problems with these buildings. There is basically no damage to the superstructure.
However, the bottoms of these warships were shot with large holes. Those superstructures were originally designed to resist arrows, but now they are not functioning, so it is better to dismantle them! Increase the thickness of the bottom of the ship and add iron sheets.
"What should I do if the watchtower is demolished! Where will the sail be placed after it is demolished!" Wen Pin was holding back his anger, because this person was sent by the lord Liu Biao to supervise and serve as a military adviser, and even wrote in the letter You need to ask about every detail. If there is no such sentence, Wenpin will ignore Zhuge Liang, and at worst, let Zhuge Liang sit aside and eat and drink for offerings!
Zhuge Liang also thought of this, which is why Liu Biao added this item in the appointment letter. Although Zhuge Liang has no experience, he has knowledge, and he can slowly understand the experience, but the real talent cannot be learned. of.
"You can keep the watchtower, and you can keep the sail!" Zhuge Liang did not fail to listen to Wenpin's words. In this era, what you need to see farther is to stand taller. Without a watchtower, the enemy may find you. You don't know where the enemy is, that's bad! The enemy can predict the enemy's opportunity and let you plunge into the enemy's trap, so the watchtower can be kept!
Sails also need to be kept, these sails can maintain high speed when going down the current, and even some people can use the power of the wind in the headwind.
"Hehe!" Zhuge Liang laughed angrily at Wenpin, and he couldn't help asking Zhuge Liang, "Without those floors, how can we board the enemy's warship and fight? Do we wait for the enemy to approach us and shoot us to death with random arrows?" !" The floor of the building was not designed for decoration or for more comfortable living, but to suppress the enemy from a high position. You can directly shoot arrows at the opponent from the upper level of the superstructure of the building, and When the building boats on both sides approach, the person with the higher floor will take advantage of it! They can rush into the building boat on the opposite side at any time, and they can also shoot arrows towards the opposite side! It can be said that it is completely overwhelming. If the floor cannot be higher, it may cause the building to tilt. I am afraid that the level of the building will become higher and higher!
"Do you need it?!" Zhuge Liang didn't immediately answer Wenpin's words, but asked directly, do you need it!
"You!" Wen Pin choked at Zhuge Liang's words, this Zhuzi really doesn't understand navy warships! In Wenpin's mind, Zhuge Liang has become Zhao Kuo's top-notch! But what Zhuge Liang said next made him ponder!
"General Wenpin, see for yourself! Since the appearance of these bed crossbows, what kind of changes have taken place in the dispatch of the navy!" Zhuge Liang honestly admired him very much, bed crossbows! Can shoot! And that kind of piercing ability directly changed the fighting style of the entire navy. It turns out that whoever has the most people is the most ferocious general, so whoever is the overlord on the water, and now~! Before you get close, there are rounds of volleys of giant crossbows. The ships that get close are unlucky. They may not even see the enemy's face and will be sent to the bottom of the ship! The reason why the two sides have been fighting so fiercely for more than a month is because of the appearance of the bed crossbow, which has caused serious consumption of warships.
However, Wenpin is still a bit disdainful, "So what! No matter how strong the arrows of the bed crossbow are, he will run out of arrows when he runs out of them! Then it's still the same as before for boarding battles! Melee combat, without these Let’s wait for the whole army to destroy the floors!” Only when the floors are the same height as each other, then there is no distinction between high and low, and everyone can be the same as usual! These sailors are very used to the shaking of warships in the water, just like on flat ground. The height of the building boat is the same as the height of the Jinglan in front of Wancheng and the height of Wancheng before, and the Jinglan is higher than Wancheng! Then the unlucky ones are the people on the city wall, if they want to shoot you, they can shoot you! And if the city wall is higher than the well fence, the people on the well fence will be useless!
"Use it up? Haha! If you can't use it up!" Zhuge Liang sneered, "General Wenpin, please take a look! Once the upper floors of these buildings are demolished, what weight do you think the buildings will weigh?" How many people can it hold?!"
"Huh?!" Wen Pin frowned. Most of the load of the building is on the floors. Buoyancy, the number of soldiers that can be put down is double that of the above! But so what! If there is no floor, it is impossible to fight a boarding battle. Once they are sent to the bottom of the river, no matter how many people there are, there will be more deaths!
Zhuge Liang looked at Wenpin and frowned, knowing that Wenpin was already following his own thinking, this is what Zhuge Liang wanted! "General Wenpin, think again, if we use these loads not to load soldiers, but to strengthen the bottom of the ship! Cover all the bottoms of these ships with iron sheets and water them with copper water~ Will this be able to compete with the Jiangdong Navy? The length is too short!" Zhuge Liang didn't know how these Jiangdong navy could make the warships float on the water after being penetrated, but Zhuge Liang could also strengthen the bottom of the ships. The bottom of the ship is reinforced, so the chance of being shot through by the bed crossbow is small~! These Jingzhou navy might not be able to compete with the Jiangdong navy.
"But the old man is still the same as before, once the arrows of the bed crossbow are used up! There is no way to fight the board battle!" The bed crossbow has changed the war of the navy, but the change is only at the beginning. Use the bed crossbow to shoot at each other, but after the shooting, it is still the old rule to fight side by side!
"I'm not just a thickened boat bottom! Bed crossbows! There are five bed crossbows on Jiangdong navy warships, and I can put ten bed crossbows on one warship!" All the buildings on the upper level of the ship were demolished to strengthen the bottom of the ship and increase the number of bed crossbows on the navy warship!
Isn't it a waste if such a sharp weapon is not used on a large scale! Now that he is already changing the way the navy fights! That's not as good as fighting against the entire navy! Replace him with new battle specs!
"Ten seats!" Wenpin was also stunned by Zhuge Liang's crazy idea. Five bed crossbows had twenty-five giant arrows, which was already terrifying, but now Zhuge Liang wanted to double in size!
"Yes, ten seats," Zhuge Liang said eloquently, "If we fight an encounter, our bed crossbows are more than twice as large as the opponent's, and we can completely suppress a warship on the opposite side that can't shoot through Jiangdong. Then come two or three. I don’t believe that fifty bed crossbows can’t pierce a battleship! Even if it’s exchanged for one, our Jingzhou navy will make money. After the arrows are shot, load them immediately, press the second group, wait until the second group of giant arrows are shot, the first group will be ready again! Such a time difference! General Wenpin, you said that our army will finish shooting on the bed crossbow Arrows!"
"This, this!" Wenpin was also stunned by Zhuge Liang's crazy thoughts. If it is true what Zhuge Liang said, the bed crossbow can be fired by wheels, then there will really be no blank shooting without arrows In the end, everyone fought together and made the bed crossbow useless!
"General, this is really a good idea!" The general next to him also thought about it, and became excited. If that was the case, there would be ten bed crossbows on his warship! That kind of bed crossbow loaded with huge arrows with a cold light is scary to think about!
"I know!" Wenpin nodded, he finally knew the difference between a counselor and their generals now! Military generals are indeed much stronger than counselors in terms of personal force. It can be said that one-on-one counselors can only die, and these counselors are powerless to fight back. It is a joke to let them go into battle to kill the enemy! But counselors can use their brains! Their ideas, their ideas are all scary, they are all based on a battle, and sacrifice what should be sacrificed, and now Zhuge Liang directly wants to change the combat style of a military branch!
If Zhuge Liang succeeds, there will be hand-to-hand combat in naval battles in the future! the answer is negative!
"Pass my military order! All the warships have their superstructures removed, their bottoms thickened, and their bed crossbows loaded!" Wenpin is not a headstrong person or a person who can't listen to his words. After seeing the scene described by Zhuge Liang, Wenpin also Sure~!
"The general doesn't need to dismantle all the warships, one fleet is enough!" Zhuge Liang said to Wenpin, if all the warships were dismantled, it would take too long to waste time. In the camp, after the disaster, the Jiangdong navy will attack the hinterland of Jingzhou, and the fun will be great! Therefore, we can only disassemble them one by one, and we must keep the high-speed mobile troops that can be used.
"What the military adviser said is true!" Wen Pin nodded, he will not underestimate this military adviser sent by the lord now! A few ideas and pointing out Jiangshan solved the ending of being suppressed and beaten by the Jiangdong navy these days. Wenpin can imagine, once all the fleets are refitted, what will happen to those Jiangdong navy!
There are not many bed crossbows left in Sanjiangkou! So you still need to ask for it from Jingzhou. (To be continued.)
