Chapter 821 The founding battle of the Taiping Tao Kingdom (1)
Liu Wu has a lot of analysis, a lot of ideas, and even more worries.
But these did not arise out of nowhere, and the development direction of the Taiping Tao Kingdom was even moving towards the point he expected.
First of all, King Li Tian was stationed in Shengjing and commanded the army to fight two water battles with the Jiangbei camp, killing each other and causing rivers of blood.
If the combat effectiveness of the navy under the command of Jiangbei Camp was not as good as that of Taiping Dao Kingdom, then there might be a big fight on the river at this time.
Even though the Jiangbei camp has lost most of its navy, the Taiping Taoist army cannot cross the river quickly.
Not only that, the Taiping Taoist State launched three river-crossing operations during the period when the Jiangbei Daying Navy suffered heavy losses. The first two operations could be described as heavy losses, and they were both defeated halfway across the river.
And this time is the third time.
I saw the Taiping Taoist army marching toward the opposite side of the river in a mighty manner, and the Jiangbei camp had already noticed it and had deployed defensive facilities in advance.
Seeing the Taiping Tao Kingdom getting closer and closer, the archers from the Jiangbei camp on the shore were ready to attack.
"150 steps!"
"shoot!"
With an order, a large number of arrows flew towards the ships on the river like raindrops.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
"what!"
Some of the arrows were nailed to the ship, others were shot through the windows at Taiping soldiers, or some were unlucky enough to be shot to death directly.
There were also those who were rowing and steering the boat. They had no protection and were shot to death and injured many times, causing the boat to slow down uncontrollably.
"No, the wind direction has changed!"
At this time, misfortunes never come singly, and the wind direction suddenly changed.
"Quick, pull the sail!"
Someone was anxious to adjust the angle of the sail to catch the wind.
"Fire arrows!"
Jiangbei Camp was delighted with this sudden change in wind direction. After all, arrows shot farther with the wind and were more powerful.
"what!"
Sure enough, this time the Taiping Daoguo personnel losses were even greater.
"Rocket!"
Seeing that the ships were still steadily approaching the shore, Jiangbei Camp changed the rockets and aimed directly at the Taiping Dao Kingdom's ships to cover them.
"Dive, dive!"
The warriors of the Taiping Tao Kingdom were familiar with the nature of water and had learned enough lessons after losing the previous two battles, so this time they jumped into the water one hundred steps away from the shore and hid behind boats and bamboo rafts.
In this way, most of their bodies are in the water, which reduces the area where the arrow hits.
People with better water skills rely on boats that can continue to move forward and quickly approach the shore through diving.
These people are all selected death squads. As long as they approach the shore and open a gap, the fleet can take the opportunity to land through this gap.
After all, ships in the water have to go with the current, so after a certain distance, these suicide squads can only go ashore by diving.
It is only the river beach that can be landed. Although the water flow is gentle, it is really difficult for people to walk in the water.
"kill!"
They shouted loudly to kill, but they could not be heavily armored, and even the death squads with extremely poor equipment could only meet the archers' direct fire on the river beach.
At such a distance, the archers didn't need to cover them with arrows at all. They could pin them to the river beach just by naming them.
"what!"
The Taiping Dao Kingdom's death squad fighters fell one after another under the blows of bows and arrows.
"Rush, rush up!"
Someone hid behind the corpse of his comrade and called on his teammates to continue rushing forward.
The suicide squads came one after another, but the river beach, which was only about ten steps away, slowed down their movements and turned into a place of death for them.
"kill!"
There were still people who could rush over among the people who were fighting in front of them. With anger and hatred in their eyes, they raised their swords and charged at the archers in the Jiangbei camp with a roar.
"Puff puff!"
As for these warriors, what greeted them was the concentrated fire from the archers from the Jiangbei camp.
In an instant, a lively person turned into a hedgehog.
After the war, an inventory was conducted, and it was found that the most miserable man had more than forty arrows in his body, some of which had penetrated into his bones.
"retreat!"
There was no hope of landing, and the huge fleet could only retreat backwards.
"waste!"
King Li Tianwang was helpless about this kind of thing and could only curse him as a waste.
As for dealing with generals who were disadvantaged by the war, he had no reason at all.
Because it's not that his Taiping Army is not brave, it's because there are only those tidal flats suitable for landing.
If you can’t get up, what can you do?
Therefore, King Li Tian lost his troops and generals, and was never able to successfully cross the river. He could only engage in a stalemate with the Jiangbei camp.
On the other side, Yang Shida had already launched a large-scale attack against Chuanzhou.
It's a pity that Lu Wenlun is the one defending Jiangzhou.
Over the years, Lu Wenlun's name has spread throughout the Han Army, Taiping Dao Kingdom and Daqian.
People's evaluation of him is that he is good at defense.
On this point, Prince Yi Yi of the Zhengnan Camp agreed with this statement, saying that the defeat of the Jiangnan Camp was because he did not fully listen to Lu Wenlun's strategy.
He even said that the reason why he was able to successfully escape after the defeat of the Jiangnan Camp was because Lu Wenlun commanded well and stopped the Han army's attacking front.
Therefore, Lu Wenlun's strength in the field is not evaluated, but his ability to defend well has indeed been spread.
The Han army also disclosed many battle reports, which on the other hand proved that Prince Yi Yi was telling the truth.
In those years, the Han army fought many times with Lu Wenlun, but they never captured the city he was stationed in, let alone broke the defense line he deployed.
Not only that, the Han army also disclosed the decisive battle with the Jiangnan camp.
In the details disclosed, the Han army's mountain brigade attacked for three hundred miles in three days and two nights. Taking advantage of the lack of troops in the Chinese army, they launched a sudden attack, which established the decisive victory.
Moreover, according to the disclosure of details, the main force of the Han army, the [-]rd and [-]th Infantry Divisions, were still fighting fiercely with the main force of the Jiangnan Camp at that time, and were even the weaker side.
Therefore, three years later, Lu Wenlun was already a famous general known all over the world.
Although it is just good practice.
In this battle, when the Taiping Dao army's front was at its sharpest, Lu Wenlun directly blocked its front, which also proved that this statement was true.
If the Taiping Dao Kingdom cannot break through Lu Wenlun's defense after the war, then the title of this famous general will be worthy of his name.
