Chapter 749 Breakthrough
This feeling is like walking alone in a mountain forest. Suddenly there is a rustling sound in the dense forest. When you push aside the grass, you see a white-fronted tiger with hanging golden eyes.
"kill!"
Taishi Ci shouted angrily, bent his knees slightly, jumped forward suddenly, and jumped directly from the side board to the deck.
The surrounding Jiangxia sailors were startled and took a few steps back, not even daring to fight with Tai Shici. The Jingzhou officer on the ship said angrily: "No matter how brave he is, he is just a person. What are you afraid of? Come on!"
Although the Jiangxia sailors did not want to face Taishi Ci, they could not be frightened by him and flee without a fight. Therefore, more than ten people raised their swords and formed a semicircle to kill Taishi Ci.
Taishi Ci snorted and suddenly waved the halberd in his hand. Dang Dang Dang! The swords swung by the enemy were blocked by the crescent moon of the halberd in his hand, and the Jiangxia soldiers in front of him suddenly opened their doors wide open.
The spear in his right hand was raised and swept in a circle.
boom!
"Well!"
"Well!"
Four or five Jiangxia soldiers screamed, and the spears swept by Tai Shici were placed heavily on their bodies. Especially the Jiangxia soldiers who were the first to be hit. The spears were swept hard on his waist. He suddenly felt If he was hit hard, it was like a strong man swinging a giant hammer, causing severe pain in his internal organs and breaking his ribs.
After being hit by spears, four or five soldiers flew out together. Taishi Ci, on the other hand, put away his spear, just like before, holding the enemy's sword with his halberd, and struck with thunder, one defense and one attack, making the Jiangdong soldiers cry for father and mother.
In fact, from the very beginning when weapons like halberds were created, their main purpose was not to kill, but to block. This is due to the structure of the halberd. The halberd is a crescent or grid extending from the spear, which can hook the enemy's weapon.
In ancient armies, multiple arms cooperated with each other. When the halberd hooked the enemy's weapon, our own spearmen took advantage of the situation and attacked. Wouldn't it be more effective with half the effort?
In the Qin State, there was another formation in which halberds and iron swords cooperated with each other. As the saying goes, one inch is long and one inch is strong. Short weapons are not suitable for fighting desperately on the battlefield. Therefore, those rangers rarely appear on the battlefield. Those who can use iron swords are elite soldiers with high skills and bold skills.
During the battle, the halberd is stretched out to hook the enemy's weapon, and the swordsman of our own side takes the opportunity to attack and kill through the enemy's formation. This method of tactics can be easily used when the opponent lacks sword and shield hands. Cut through the enemy's formation.
This is Taishi Ci's fighting method. The halberd is used to hook the enemy's weapon and block the opponent's attack. The spear is like a poisonous snake looking for an opportunity to fight. After the halberd has hooked the enemy's weapon, the spear will attack the poisonous snake again. Spit the letter, a fatal blow.
Relying on spears and halberds, Taishi Ci suddenly broke into the Jiangxia army's formation. The spears and halberds interacted with each other, as if stirring up a storm of iron armor. Many Jiangxia soldiers were disemboweled and rolled away.
Taishi Ci forcibly opened a flesh and blood passage with one person, and the morale of the Jiangdong soldiers behind him was greatly boosted.
"The Taishi Colonel has opened the way for our army, what are we waiting for?"
"Rush forward and follow the Taishi Colonel to make great achievements!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Countless Jiangdong soldiers swarmed forward, stepped on the side planks and rushed forward. Following Tai Shici, they rushed to the warship and raised their sabers at the Jiangxia soldiers.
As soon as Taishi Ci opened the situation, the Jiangdong soldiers behind him rushed up to expand the victory. The Jiangxia sailors on the ship were immediately killed to death, and the ship was suddenly filled with blood and corpses.
"Haha, Ziyi is so brave, the old man can't lag behind the young people."
Huang Gai was originally a fierce general. Although he was a little older, he was immediately inspired when he saw Taishi Ci being so brave. He waved his iron whip to command the soldiers behind him. The queues of Jiangdong soldiers looked excited and stepped on the side planks one by one. Above it, he rushed toward the opposite side.
The shouts of killing from the two armies rang out from the Jiangxia Navy warships one after another, intertwined with the sound of war drums, the sound of swords piercing flesh, and the sounds of corpses falling to the ground, which lasted for a long time.
"Father, the Jiangdong Army's offensive is too fierce. You go back first, and my son will supervise the battle!" Huang She shouted to Huang Zu.
Huang Zu pushed his son away and said angrily: "Shut up! I am the governor of Jiangxia. How can I escape in the middle of battle?"
"Father, it's better to listen to me and leave quickly. The enemy army is coming fiercely!" Huang Sheku advised.
At this moment, although the Jiangdong army had few soldiers, its morale was at its peak as fierce generals such as Taishi Ci and Xu Sheng led their troops to personally charge and kill them. More and more Jiangxia sailors fell into the water, and warships changed owners one after another.
There were corpses floating one after another on the dark black river, but among them were the corpses of Jiang Xia soldiers. The wounds on their bodies were rolled out, and the red blood seeped into the water, dyeing the river red. .
Boom, boom, boom! The sound of war drums rumbled continuously, and Jiangxia Navy retreated steadily.
"Grand Governor, order a general attack!" Cheng Pu couldn't help but said excitedly.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief. The Jiangxia Navy has shown an overwhelming trend. Our army only needs a fierce attack, and it will be defeated soon. In this way, no other navy on the Yangtze River can compete with me. Military counterbalance!"
Jiang Qin also clenched his fists and said.
In the world today, the only truly organized naval forces are the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy. Cao Cao's main command was the Ma Bu Army. Although he had the intention to organize the navy, it was difficult to accomplish it for a while.
Although Liu Ye invested a lot of manpower and material resources in establishing a navy, the establishment of a navy was not that simple. During the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao had already recruited almost the entire Jingzhou navy, and he also trained many naval forces. In terms of scale, Cao Cao was far superior to the Sun and Liu coalition forces, but he was completely defeated. If Liu Ye's navy were to be used, I'm afraid they wouldn't be a match for Jiangdong's navy.
If the Jiangxia Navy can be defeated in one battle, the Jingzhou Navy will be greatly damaged. By then, the Jiangdong Navy will be able to run rampant on the river, and the entire Yangtze River will be equivalent to the defense line of the Jiangdong Army.
Zhou Yu was filled with pride for a moment, and he pulled out the sword from his waist with all his strength, pointing the sword tip toward the sky.
"Send the order! The Chinese army attacks and defeats the Jiangxia Navy in one fell swoop!"
"kill!"
Jiang Qin couldn't hold himself back for a long time. He walked from Zhou Yu's ship to a stern warship, ambitiously grasped the handle of the sword, and ordered his soldiers to speed up.
One after another, the Jiangdong Navy warships cut through the waves and rushed toward the opposite side. The sails were raised one by one. Hundreds of boats raced across the river. Countless Jiangdong troops were high-spirited and held their swords.
"Father, father, otherwise, let's withdraw, right?" Huang She said bitterly.
Huang Zu looked at the Jiangdong Army navy opposite and said nothing.
