Guo Chun is very good at swimming, and what he is especially good at is diving. He can swim up and down the underwater for several miles at a time. His men also have a group of people who are especially good at diving. This is the water ghost he painstakingly cultivated.
In every battle, these water ghosts secretly sneaked into the bottom of the river, approached the bottom of the other party's ship, chiseled the bottom of the other party's ship with a sharp chisel and let it sink. Not to mention, his tactics also sank many enemy ships and won many battles. Water ghosts are a powerful force under Guo Chun.
But when they jumped into the water and swam to the other party's warship, they found that it was very wrong. This was the other party's ship. It moved very fast. Their water ghosts couldn't catch up with the other party's speed. Moreover, the other party seemed to have found them. They used fire guns to shoot underwater and killed many of them.
Guo village had made a perfect plan, that is, after a successful attack and tearing open the enemy's defense line, they launched a continuous fierce attack, but it was embarrassing that his first wave of attack did not work. The second wave hit the air and concentrated within the shooting range of the other party, which made the other party fall into a flower and water.
Guo Chun jumped into the water. When he finally got close to each other, he was greeted by a shower of bullets. His water ghosts were shot and died one after another, and floated up with blood. His heart was like a knife.
And when they got close, they thought they could sneak into the bottom of each other's boat and kill each other by surprise. Who knows, after the other party found them, they fired a lot of bullets on the water, and used a lot of grenades and played countless water columns, which also made them who were lurking in the water suffer a lot and couldn't play a role at all.
Seeing all this, Guo Chun felt like a knife. I did all this according to the combat example. However, when I met the enemy, it was of no use. Looking at his seemingly huge fleet, it was blown into countless pieces one by one. The soldiers were killed by each other. His heart was like a knife. He picked up the knife and wanted to wipe his neck, but his knife was knocked over by his water ghost, He said, "general, if you keep the green mountains, you're not afraid of no firewood." he took him and left.
Zhu Xieyuan had high hopes for his Navy. He hoped that his navy would defeat the enemy's navy and complete the blockade of Xiangyang City, so that they could win.
Zhu Xieyuan has also seen Guo Chun's battle plan. It seems that it is well-organized and reasonably scheduled, which can give the other party a fatal blow. He believes that even if he can't completely wipe out the enemy's navy, it can also cause the other party the biggest trouble. In a word, it is helpful for his siege. Therefore, Zhu Xieyuan dare not go to sleep and leads a trusted team, Came to the river to watch the war between the two sides.
However, Zhu Xieyuan was also very surprised and didn't understand that they had written the script, why didn't the other party play according to their script?
They seemed so powerful that they were like mountains and seas. The scene of thousands of fireboats rushing towards the enemy's camp was extremely shocking, but they were blocked by several huge iron chains of the enemy, and they couldn't get close at all. Later, the Clippers that followed made the other party as a live target and sank one by one.
It's like a unilateral massacre.
For today's battle, Zhu Xieyuan asked Guo Chun's fleet to carry out a general mobilization and dispatched nearly 30000 people. He was thinking that once these 30000 strong men set out, they would certainly give the other party a fatal blow.
Who knows, tens of thousands of them rushed noisily and didn't cause any trouble to each other at all.
Moreover, there was no tragic battle they imagined, but they had been passively beaten and shelled by the other party several miles away.
At this moment, Zhu Xieyuan realized that the navy was fighting like this. Unfortunately, it was too late. His Navy had been almost consumed. Even though Zhu Xieyuan was unwilling, he was helpless and could only order the withdrawal of troops.
In today's World War I, Guo Chun and his Navy officers and men were determined to make a fatal blow to the enemy. Who knows that a war did not cause any blow to the other party, but almost finished their old capital.
These officers and men also felt indignant and desperate. Only then did they find that water warfare can be fought like this. With these equipment and weapons in their hands, they can't do anything about each other. The two sides are not at the same level and can't fight at the same level.
After taking the lead, the Chinese Navy did not show mercy to each other. Instead, they continued to use cannons and shelled these attacking ships one by one. Only after they cleaned up all these fire ships, they removed the huge iron chain on the Han River and took the initiative to hunt down these retreating Ming Navy.
The Ming Navy survived today not because they fought with the Chinese Navy, but because they hid to preserve their strength. Today, they came out and wanted to turn around and escape. It was not easy. They were tracked by the Chinese Navy and shelled them. Many ships were sunk. These were wooden clippers, Once they are shot, they basically wear a big hole or fall apart. The people on board have no choice but to jump out of the boat and escape.
The naval divisions of the Chinese army are equipped as standard. The warships are equipped with red cannon and Fran machine gun. They are light and heavy, and have strong firepower. There are also a large number of sailors. These armed sailors are good at using fire guns. They no longer use weapons such as broadsword and axe to kill the enemy, but use fire guns to shoot the enemy from a long distance. They saw the sailors of the Ming army fall into the water, Instead of sending a ship to rescue, they drove the ship directly into the past or shot.
If it were the Chinese navy in the past, it would not be so cruel. The most they could do for those who fell into the water was not to save them. They would not drive a boat to hit or shoot them. However, in the first World War of Yiling, the Ming army used cruel means to kill all the prisoners and built a Beijing temple.
This made the sailors of the Chinese army very angry. They decided to take revenge. They didn't have any good greetings to the Ming army who fell into the water. They just killed them.
Zhu Xieyuan has been watching the battle on the shore. He has been watching the battle between the two sides. He did not expect that a vigorous war he expected would end in such a simple way. After a war, the Navy team of more than 30000 people did not cause much damage and impact to the enemy, but let the enemy's Navy destroy them.
In Guo Chun's imagination, the perfect counterattack plan in the plan, frankly speaking, came out of the hiding place, and then let the other party kill it.
Zhu Xieyuan looked pale and stumbled. If it hadn't been for the left and right support, he would have fallen down. He was thinking, is the Chinese army so strong.
The navy of the Chinese army is so strong that it is better in the north. Most of the North do not have rivers, while in the south, the river reaches are vertical and horizontal, and most of them can be reached by ships and warships. If other fleets of the Chinese army are so powerful, it can only explain that this is where their warships arrive, which is within the scope of their control.
Zhu Xieyuan wondered how he could counter attack the major cities along the Yangtze River when the other side's navy was so powerful?
Zhu Xieyuan went back to his camp, and his men came back one after another to report to him the results of the first battle of the Navy last night.
The Navy's achievements were nothing. They were not sure how many enemies they had killed, but they were wiped out. Even commander Guo Chun was missing. His Navy had as many as 30000 people on the roster before departure. After the war, less than 3000 people were able to return to the navy camp for statistics, Although many of them are scattered or missing, one thing is certain that his Navy is completely finished now.
The navy was completely finished, making them very passive on the water. It was the result of being beaten by the other side.
At this time, Zhu Xieyuan heard worse news. This is that Liu Zhongyong, a senior general of the Chinese army, led tens of thousands of troops out of Xiaogan and stormed Suizhou. Suizhou fell in the blink of an eye. After he captured Suizhou, he was a hundred miles away from Xiangyang. Cavalry can rush here on the land at any time.
Another bad news is that Liu Kang, another fierce general of the Chinese army, led the army to rescue Jingzhou and quickly defeated the Ming army besieging Jingzhou. Liu Kang stationed in Jingzhou and looked at Yiling. If the other party captured Yiling, he couldn't return to Sichuan.
However, Zhu Xieyuan had nothing to be afraid of. Soldiers came to block and water and earth covered. He immediately ordered general Qin Liangyu to lead a team to quickly return to Yiling to guard the place and the gate of Sichuan for them. As for the direction of Suizhou, Ma Xianglin's cavalry was sent to monitor the direction of Suizhou.
Seeing so many troops coming here, Zhu Xieyuan predicted that the two sides might have a huge battle here in Xiangyang.
Zhu Xieyuan looked at the huge Xiangyang City in the distance. Xiangyang City was like a giant beast lying on both sides of the Han River. Zhu Xieyuan sighed: "if the city is still there, he will be more confident about the decisive battle in the future."
Zhu Xieyuan, in command of more than 100000 troops, calmed down the chaos in the southwest. When the suppression was about the same, he received an order and came back urgently to calm the chaos.
Hundreds of thousands of troops are his vanguard, and troops from all over the country come to meet again and again. His army will eventually reach 200000. Zhu Xieyuan thought, since they all meet here, will the two sides have a general war here?
