The World of Yellow Sky

As an inland river navy, the Fenshui Navy is limited by the amount of water in Fenshui, and the range it can actually reach is extremely limited.

Therefore, large warships such as Louchuan, Maotu, and Gechuan were not equipped.

Its largest battleship is a large fighting ship, which is the flagship of the Fenshui Navy Division of the Han Army.

In addition to this fighting ship, there are three fighting ships in the Fenshui Navy, and the rest are small boats such as Mengchong, Zuoge, and Chima.

They have been on the water for a long time, and their combat power and adaptability are several grades higher than those of the Yellow Turban Army.

This is also the reason why the Yellow Turban Army is equipped with a lot of obscurity and walking.

Most of Xu An's subordinates are residents of Taihang Mountains, or refugees from Jizhou, and people from Bingzhou.

Almost all of them are from the North, and they have never seen any big rivers, and they are not familiar with boats or water warfare.

Although the sailors of the Yellow Turban Army have undergone selection, they are not seasick, and they have been on a ship for a period of time, but they are still weaker in terms of control and other aspects.

Use ships such as Mengchong and Zouge, use bows and crossbows to attack from a long distance, and look for opportunities to fight for a decisive victory. This is the result that the Yellow Turban Army wants.

The Yellow Turban Army is not afraid of melee combat, and although the Fenshui Navy Division is good at water warfare, most of them are ordinary soldiers who have not experienced any melee combat.

Once the bloody battle is over, basically only the yellow turban sailors will be slaughtered.

This is why the ships of the Yellow Turban Army can temporarily block them.

Some of the existing ships of the Yellow Turban Army were captured in Linfen City, and some were newly built.

The navy in Fenshui relied on better control, constantly shooting with bows and crossbows, and the bed crossbows on the fighting ships were also fired from time to time.

The Fenshui Navy has limited ships, although its combat power is greater than that of the Yellow Turban Army.

But Niu Fu didn't want the Fenshui Navy to compete recklessly with the ships of the Yellow Turban Army. He and Jia Xu had seen the soldiers of the Fenshui Navy.

Niu Fu was as clear as Ming Jing in his heart, if these sailors and the Yellow Turban Army were to fight in close combat, they would collapse in an instant.

The control of the Yellow Turban Army's ships obviously fell to the Fenshui Fleet Division, and the Fenshui Fleet Division only needed to harass them from a distance to suppress the Yellow Turban Army's ships.

If it really takes over, then the Yellow Turban Army will still have the upper hand.

Taking advantage of one's own weaknesses to attack the other's strengths, Niu Fu would not do such a stupid thing.

Chapter 500 Fighting High

It was originally the plan of the Xiliang Army to let the Yellow Turban Army build a pontoon bridge.

At that time, the Fenshui Navy Division of the Han Army, which has the upper hand, can also cooperate with the attacking ground troops to assist the Xiliang Army to attack the ground troops of the Yellow Turban Army with bows and crossbows from above the river, so that they cannot look at each other from head to tail.

A series of military orders were issued from the top of the watchtower. Jia Xu said something from time to time, and arranged the defense of the south bank according to the movement of the Yellow Turban Army building the pontoon bridge.

The battle line is not just here, the Fen River is gentle, and there are many places where you can cross the river.

From Jiting to the mainstream of Fen River at the North Ferry of Linfen, to the towns on the north bank of Hui River, a tributary of Fen River, Jiangyi and Yicheng, within a range of hundreds of miles, many places can be used as river crossing points.

"How's the situation at Yufro?"

Niu Fu turned his head to look at Wang Yi, the prefect of Hedong County. Yu Fuluo was stationed in Hedong County and had always been under the jurisdiction of Wang Yi.

"I have distributed about [-] people's military equipment to Yu Fuluo, and most of Yu Fuluo's Hu Qi are now arranged in Jiangyi and Yicheng."

Although Wang Yi was not too impressed with these Xiliang troops, the situation was stronger than others.

The Yellow Turban Army was watching covetously from the side. If he wanted to defend Hedong County, he still had to rely on these Xiliang warriors whom he despised.

"The other part is due to the command of Fu Luo, who will fight with our army. There are about [-] people."

Jia Xu glanced at Wang Yi when he heard Yu Fuluo's name.

Of course he has heard of Yu Fuluo's name, and he also knows too much about Fuluo. After all, Yu Fuluo will be used in this battle, and Jia Xu must be prepared.

This time in the battle of Fenshui, the commander of the opponent was Xu An.

Naturally, Jia Xu put all his energy into treating it with caution, even though Jia Xu didn't think he was inferior to Xu An in terms of military strategy.

But the shadow of the famous tree, for Xu An, Jia Xu is actually very jealous.

In the battle of blocking the river, for ordinary inland rivers like Fenshui, which are not considered big rivers, there are many places to choose to cross the river.

The Yellow Turban Army stretched the battle line to hundreds of miles at one time, which undoubtedly made it more difficult for the Han army to defend.

Therefore, this battle mainly depends on the mobilization of cavalry.

This time, there are 5000 Xiliang cavalry in the Xiliang army, accounting for almost half of them, but it is definitely not enough if there are only Xiliang cavalry.

The 2000 cavalry of the Han Army in Hedong County were all disrupted by Jia Xu and entered the order of Xiliang cavalry.

But 7000 people, Jia Xu still felt that it was not enough.

Although the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army is only 8000 in total, the Yellow Turban Army is attacking, and Xu An can concentrate his superior forces to attack at any time.

But Jia Xu is the defender, and the expansion of the front has also made the troops very scattered.

So at this time, the 1 Hu Qi under Yu Fuluo's command are a relatively key force.

Jia Xu squinted his eyes as he glanced at the Yellow Turban lines several miles wide.

"Xu An, Xu An..."

So far, he still hasn't been able to see Xu An's plot.

"What are you planning..."

……

"The shortcomings of the navy are really not easy to make up for."

Xu An put down the binoculars in his hand, and Xu An saw the battle between the Yellow Turban Army sailors and the Han Army sailors on the river.

The sailor training of the Yellow Turban Army also lasted five or six months, but it was still obviously inferior to the sailors of the Han Army.

The sailors of the Han army came and went like the wind on the river, and they didn't give the Yellow Turbans a chance to catch up.

Even the bed crossbow on the battleship of the Han army severely damaged a Mengchong ship of the Yellow Turban Army.

No wonder Cao Cao used iron cables to connect ships in the Battle of Chibi, which seemed a bit stupid.

This may really be a helpless move.

Sailors and cavalry are almost as difficult to train.

Without years of infection, you can only get the skin, not the essence.

"Military division, I heard that Jia Xu was transferred back from Pingjin by Niu Fu,"

Xu An turned to look at Yan Zhong who was at the side.

The Battle of Hedong is of great importance. Although Yu Fuluo is the internal support, Yan Zhong is still a little worried.

Although Xu An persuaded him many times, Yan Zhong insisted on coming to Hedong.

"I heard that Niu Fu's qualifications are mediocre, and his military strategy is not average, so there are almost no flaws in the arrangement. I'm afraid it's not from Niu Fu's handwriting, but from Jia Xu."

Yan Zhong nodded, Jia Xu was definitely the best person he had ever met.

Although the current Jia Xu is only the captain of Pingjin, Yan Zhong didn't feel that he had misjudged him.

"The troops were deployed in an orderly manner, without any haste, the banners were in order, and the tents were in order. This is indeed Jia Wenhe's arrangement, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Yan Zhong recognized the teacher who taught Jia Xu's military strategy, and he could see that the layout of the Xiliang Army in front of him coincided with the art of war.

"When I heard Jia Xu's name, I was really worried about him. He would find out that Yu Fuluo was a matter of our army's response."

What Xu An said was not a lie, when he was in Guangzong City, he didn't dare to underestimate anyone.

Huangfusong and Sun Jian left a deep impression on him.

Whether it is a name left in history or an unnamed name in history.

What's more, what's more, he is facing Jia Xu, a top strategist who has left his name in history and has not hesitated to praise him in history books.

Yan Zhong sensed Xu An's caution, and said: "There is no sign of Yu Fuluo's rebellion, it is not in our expectation, and it must not be in Jia Xu's expectation."

"Duke Ming expelled the Xiongnu. Logically speaking, Yu Fuluo will never join Duke Ming. This is common sense."

Yu Fuluo still bears the title of Shan Yu awarded by the Han court, so he will not rebel no matter what.

Although Yan Zhong felt that Jia Xu had good and ordinary talents, even Zhang Liang and Chen Ping were just mortals, not gods who knew everything.

How can unexpected things be easily guessed.

Xu An put away the binoculars and took another step forward.

The river wind blowing, also brought a touch of coolness.

Xu An narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice gradually sank.

"Then carry out according to the original plan, let Lu Bu and Zhang Liao prepare to march, move my banner forward, and place it on the ferry on the north bank of Fenshui, so that everyone can see my banner."

……

"'Moth Thief' is moving!"

On the watchtower, Jia Xu cheered up and looked to the north

After the military order was issued, the sound of drums gathering soldiers sounded from the Yellow Turban Army.

A large number of soldiers were mobilized, and the speed of building the pontoon bridge suddenly accelerated by several minutes.

Group after group of cavalry holding khaki banners roared across the field on the north bank of Fenshui, almost covering the sky and the sun.

For a moment, people were a little dazzled, as if there were two layers of earth in front of them.

Jia Xu was a little surprised, because his chest was so hot.

He was obviously past the age of youth and frivolity, but this battle actually made him feel excited again.

The corners of Jia Xu's mouth turned up, revealing a smile.

"Since Xu An has already taken the lead, we naturally cannot fall behind."

Jia Xu waved the order flag, and issued orders from his mouth one after another.

For a while, the Han army's formation was also ringing, a large number of soldiers were mobilized, and the sound of drums and horns was endless.

Niu Fu glanced at Jia Xu in surprise.

He has known Jia Xu for so many years, but he has never seen Jia Xu look so high-spirited.

But that's good too, since Jia Xu has put in all his energy, he may be able to get a satisfactory result in this battle and go to Luoyang to do business.

At this moment, thousands of human voices suddenly reached Niu Fu's ears.

Niu Fu turned his head to look at the north bank, and looked in the direction of the voice.

He recognized the words formed by thousands of human voices.

That was the shout that burst out from the throats of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers, like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

Chapter 5 and one gift

"Report, the four generals of the 'Moth Thief' Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gong Du, and He Man led the trilogy across the river at the same time, and their vanguard troops have already arrived at the beachhead on the south bank!"

"Report, the 'Moth Thief' dispatched a chariot that can throw stone bullets. Our army was invincible at the head of the beach, so we had to retreat temporarily!"

"Report, the 'Moth Thief' started to fortify the shore with a weird carriage. The cart has four wheels and is much taller than ordinary chariots. The crossbowmen of the 'Moth Thief' stand behind the cart, making it difficult to approach."

The military information on the front lines was quickly transmitted to the watchtower by fast horses.

At this time, the chief general of the Xiliang Army was still Niu Fu in name, but in fact the real chief general had become Jia Xu.

Jia Xu's expression did not change, and he calmly issued one after another military orders to dispatch troops.

Less than half a quarter of an hour later, a simple picture was sent to Jia Xu, which was exactly the appearance of a four-wheeled chariot dispatched by the Yellow Turban Army.

Although they were far apart, the scouts of the Xiliang Army still drew a rough outline.

Jia Xu's eyes moved slightly. This tall four-wheeled chariot helped the Yellow Turban Army open the situation.

This kind of four-wheeled chariot is different from the unstable two-wheeled chariot. Now the Yellow Turban Army uses this kind of chariot to form a large circle around the periphery.

The pikemen lived in it, and used their long spears to resist the enemy through the gaps, and they also laid defensive objects such as horses on the outside of the chariot.

The crossbowmen standing behind the chariot seem to have a special shooting position, and they can shoot calmly on it, just like on the city wall.

Jia Xu squinted his eyes slightly, and looked not far away, obviously the four-wheeled carriage could not turn.
