209. Dahan Navy
Because it is approaching summer, there is a lot of rain and the Wei River rises sharply, and the river surface is much wider than usual.
The Han army warships went upstream and marched upstream like ants. In order to transport grain from Yuyi, Liu Jia and Yancen collected almost all local ships, but except for several large grain transport ships, almost all fishing boats were fishing boats, densely lying across the upper reaches of the Wei River.
The Han army brought warships from Chang'an. In front of them were more than 20 fast-moving rushing ships. The ship was covered with long and narrow body and moved quickly. They covered the ship with raw cowhides, and did not fear arrows and stones. The two sides of the ship opened the snatch holes, and there were crossbow windows and spear holes on the left and right sides. Soldiers rowed hard, and dozens of rushing rushing ships rushed through obstacles on the river surface and rushed into the enemy ship. The crossbow arrows on the ship were fired at the same time, and the bandits were shot into the water one after another, and the enemy ship could not get in at all.
Behind the Shi Chong Dou Ship were dozens of spear ships, with soldiers standing on them, holding crossbows and long spears. After approaching the enemy ship, spears and spears were raised and the enemy soldiers were stabbed into the water.
This cannot be called a water battle, but a massacre on the water. The bandits and fishing boats cannot be compared with the regular navy of the Han Dynasty. The battleships and spear boats were like entering a no-man's land, killing the enemy soldiers on the wooden boats to the death of ghosts and wolves.
Some bandits dived and escaped, floating on the wide river surface. A wave hit him without a trace. Occasionally, someone hugged the floating wooden blocks, struggled on the river surface, drifted downstream along the water, shouting for help at the Han army.
When the bandits on the shore saw it, they hurriedly prepared a powerful crossbow, regardless of the enemy and us, and fired randomly on the river surface. However, the crossbow soldiers on the ship were not inferior. Both sides shot fiercely, and the crossbow arrows shot onto the raw cowhide and fell into the water one after another.
The most terrifying thing is that the Han army actually came a huge water killing weapon, a tower ship.
The tower ship was the main warship of the Han Dynasty. The ship was tall and wide, and the appearance was like a tall building, which was suitable for long-distance attacks and close combat.
This tower ship was discovered by Liu Yu in Kunming Pool. In order to fight against South Vietnam, Emperor Wu of Han dug a huge artificial lake - Kunming Pool in Shanglin Garden to train navy. There were hundreds of tower ships in Kunming Lake, and the generals of the tower ship were in command of the navy. The tower ship was generally three floors high, the first floor was a hulu, the second floor was a Feilu, and the uppermost floor was a Jue Room. Each floor was equipped with a protective female wall to protect the enemy's bows and arrows. There were arrow holes on the female wall to fire crossbows.
The tower ship played an important role in the Han Dynasty's war to send troops to destroy South Vietnam and attack Korea. Since Emperor Wu of Han, the scale of the navy gradually shrank. After Liu Yu entered Chang'an, he found more than a dozen abandoned tower ships in the Kunming pond, and at that time he ordered craftsmen to repair two. In order to practice the navy and transport military rations, Liu Yu ordered the navy to advance westward first and meet the army near Yuyi.
Originally, Liu Yu had prepared for a navy flight, but he didn't expect it to come in handy. When the three-story huge tower ship came out, it was like a moving castle, with flags, swords and guns inserted on the ship, and it was extremely majestic. Ten thousand arrows were fired in the three-story cabin, like rain, ruthlessly poured into the enemy formation, and the bandits on the shore were killed and injured.
The fleet rushed across the river and rushed to the bottom of Chencang City. The Han army was cheering and thundering, busy going down to the city to respond.
The bandits suffered heavy losses this time, losing as many as thousands of people.
Liu Jia saw him from afar and looked so scared that his face looked like a dirt. Yan Cen said, "You must not be too worried. The enemy only relied on the benefits of the ship to take advantage of it. Once you left the ship, you were just a group of tigers with teeth drawn, and you could not get any majesty."
Liu Jia said: "It seems that Chen Cangcheng can't be trapped anymore. King Wu'an, what should I do?"
Yan Cen said: "King, let's wait tonight. They will win today. The night defense will definitely be negligent. I will lead the deathful soldiers to rob the camp and set fire. Just wait for the enemy's chaos, the king will lead the army in and capture the little emperor alive."
After opening the water passage on Chen Cang, Fan Chong finally felt relieved and said to Xie Lu proudly: "Look! My son-in-law is still good? I said he would not sit idly by and ignore the young child. Sure enough, the young child is just prejudice against him and disobeys him, but His Majesty does not hold any grudges at all. This is the emperor's demeanor! If you don't say anything about other abilities, you can see that you are accurate at looking at people. The level of choosing a son-in-law is first-class!"
"Three elders, I remember you were quite unhappy at the beginning..."
"Nothing! I saw this boy at first sight, he was a character. Should I be able to single out the number of Liu's surname and let him be the emperor? At that time, I was preparing to marry peach blossoms to him. I am the father-in-law of this great man. Now thinking about it, I, Lao Fan, really has foresight."
Xie Lu had no choice but to laugh, suddenly took a breath, and said thoughtfully: "My daughter is younger, but in ten years, Your Majesty will be only in her twenties..."
"What, do you want to be the father-in-law of the Han Dynasty? Hahaha, there is only one father-in-law of the Han Dynasty, and it is me, Fan Chong and Fan Xijun!"
Fan Chong's name is Xijun. Xijun was originally the name of the wife of the princes in ancient times. Later, it was the general term for the wife and could also be used to represent women. Because the death rate of children in ancient times was very high, the Fan family finally had a male. In order to raise them, they gave the child a feminine nickname. When they grew up, men should have "character". Uneducated farmers could not choose any elegant names, so they just used their former nicknames as their characters.
The name of a man is used to "demean oneself and belittle oneself" to avoid the attention of evil ghosts in the underworld and avoid being caught by evil ghosts, so as to achieve the purpose of eliminating disasters and solving problems and growing up healthily. Because men were inferior to women in ancient times, women were despised and despised, men often marry women to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. For example, Feng Fu, a famous tiger-beating hero, has a "woman", but he is a strong man who can fight against tigers.
There are also people who are named after dirty and lowly animals, such as Liu Che, the Emperor Wu of Han, who was called Liu Zi when he was a child. "王" means pig, and there are also some weird names. For example, Jin Chenggong had a very interesting name: "Black Butt". Later generations called Gou Sheng, and Gou Dan was also considered to be a cheap name and easy to raise.
Not only Fan Xijun was happy, but the soldiers in the camp were very happy. After a few days of frustration, they were blocked at the door and scolded every day. After finally winning a big victory, the soldiers felt proud and the atmosphere in the camp was very happy.
The soldiers all felt that His Majesty the Emperor would definitely reward the three armies today, and had a good meal. Unexpectedly, when the food came up, it was no different from usual. The soldiers immediately felt a little unhappy. Why was the emperor so stingy today?
For example, foodie Wang Meng, while flipping through the food in the bowl, said, "Why is Your Majesty so stingy? He won a battle and didn't give him a few pieces of meat!"
In fact, as the emperor's personal lieutenant, he had good food and could eat meat during wartime. Ordinary soldiers had to eat meat and had to win a big victory.
While eating, he disliked the food was not good, and he did not notice that the emperor had arrived at the door of his tent. It was not until the guard Xiao Banden called him that Wang Meng suddenly stood up and saluted: "Hehe, Your Majesty, why are you here?"
"What? Do you think the food is bad? Do you think there is no meat to eat?" The emperor said: "Mu Hong took the small shooting camp on board today, killing countless enemy troops and making great contributions. He didn't think there is too little meat. You, a waste of food, think that the food is not good!"
"Your Majesty, I'm not, I don't mind!" Wang Meng was so scared that he didn't dare to straighten his waist, "Hehe, I won the battle today, I thought... there would be rewards."
The emperor pointed to the outside and said, "The army of more than 100,000 people on the other side have only been eliminated today? I want to eat meat in such a small victory? If you want to go out now, you will eliminate more than 100,000 people on the other side. I will put you in the animal husbandry camp and kill a cow a day to eat!"
Wang Meng was so scolded by the emperor that he dared not speak, and he only heard the emperor say, "You can watch tonight, and you can't even wink!"
Little Banden shook his nose and said, "I just won the battle today, how dare the enemy soldiers come?"
"When you are proud, you must be most careful of capsizing. Have you forgotten Shiliwu? I have passed my order. All battalions must be careful in their base camps. Each battalion must have a general who watches the night. Those who leave the base camp without authorization will be killed! I will inspect it myself!"
