Chapter 2046 strong heart

This sea of ​​fire came suddenly and disappeared faster. Since the fuel used for burning the fire bomb is all from the fierce oil inside the fire bomb, the characteristic of the fierce oil is that it can explode and the firepower is fierce, but it usually lasts for a short time. In less than half a stick of incense, all the oil will burn out.

Moreover, this area is basically bare sand, and no fire-induced objects can continue to burn, so if the Wei army wants to keep this sea of ​​fire for a long enough time, they must continue to drop bombs.

First of all, from an economic perspective, the cost of these fierce fire bombs is quite expensive. The ordinary proportion of stone bombs and fire bombs reserved by the Wei Navy is ten to one. It can be seen that the number of fire bombs is quite rare. Ordinary fire bombs are used in necessary occasions and are rarely wasted.

Secondly, from a practical perspective, throwing a fierce oil fire bomb forms a fire barrier. The current purpose is to create time for landing infantry to establish a beachhead position, and killing the enemy is secondary.

Therefore, after the Wei army's infantry successfully landed and established the corresponding beachhead position, the fire barrier would lose its effect. Instead, it should be quickly removed to create convenience for the infantry to advance forward. Otherwise, the sea of ​​fire would lie there, and although the Shu army could not attack, the Wei army did not have such great magical powers to cross over.

So after the Wei army successfully landed and wiped out the remnants of the Shu army's shore, Wang Jun ordered the catapult to stop the attack at the right time, and the fire in the sea of ​​fire soon weakened. After a moment, the fire was extinguished, leaving only the corpses burned into coke and smoke curled up, with some faint residual fire, and a burnt smell filled the air.

The Wei army infantry stepped on these scorched corpses and quickly advanced towards the depth.

Although the blow came suddenly and heavier, Jiang Wei could still quickly adjust his emotions and organize his troops to join the battle again.

This has to be said that Jiang Wei's heart is quite strong. If ordinary people encounter such setbacks and failures, their mentality has long collapsed, but Jiang Wei has indomitable perseverance and courage, so he naturally will not give in easily.

Jiang Wei has experienced too many failures in this life. Not to mention losing thousands of people or tens of thousands of people, Jiang Wei has also experienced it personally. If Jiang Wei had not had a strong enough heart, he would have been defeated long ago. All kinds of things may have collapsed for others, but Jiang Wei still did not take a step back. Facing the strong and crowded Wei army, Jiang Wei calmly responded to the battle and led his army to fight back with all his might.

If Jiang Wei is really knocked down by such a little difficulty, then Jiang Wei is not called Jiang Wei anymore.

The Shu army is naturally indescribable in terms of combat effectiveness. This army was led by Jiang Wei himself. They participated in almost every Northern Expedition by Jiang Wei. They were experienced in many battles. Although the Shu army is in a difficult situation now, these soldiers seem to have become accustomed to it.

They fought against the Wei army, and they always fought at a disadvantage. At this moment, the Wei army launched a full-scale attack, so the Shu army naturally did not take a step back and launched a hand-to-hand combat with the Wei army. Both sides fought very fiercely, and the battle situation was very stalemate and fierce.

The Wei army's warships flew back and forth on the river, transporting more Wei army infantry to the other shore continuously. The catapult carts also ended their mission at this time. The only thing Wang Jun could provide to the landing troops was the only ferry.

However, in general, this joint landing battle in the water and land was quite successful. Without the navy's throwing carts, it was impossible for the Wei army infantry to steal a large area of ​​beachheads without bloodshed. Under normal circumstances, in such landing war, the direction of the attack would at least cost a considerable casualties to capture the beachheads. Therefore, the catapult carts can make an indelible contribution to the successful landing of infantry.

Of course, the navy was beyond the reach of the next battle, and the rest of the battle had to rely on the Wei army's ground troops.

The main reason why Shi Bao did not use the Tun cavalry first was that the Tun cavalry was too heavy, and a ship could not hold many people, and the beachhead position was not large. Even after all the Tun cavalry camp landed, the narrow beachhead position could not allow the Tun cavalry camp to be fully arranged.

Therefore, Shi Bao could only arrange the infantry of the Right Guard Camp to take the lead. Only after they established a stable and profound position could the Clan Cavalry Camp cross the river calmly.

Originally, I thought that the Shu army's fighting spirit became sluggish after experiencing the baptism of the sea of ​​fire, and its resistance would be much weaker, but I didn't expect that the Shu army would fight so tenaciously. Although one-third of the troops of the Right Guard Camp were involved in the battle, they still couldn't fight. The battle between the two sides was very stalemate, and the Wei army struggled very hard every step forward.

Shi Bao was a little anxious. If he wanted to crush the Shu army, he needed to send the powerful Tunqi camp, which had strong combat power, but the Wei army's warship capacity was limited after all. The ships transferred this time were much smaller than those when Jianye crossed the river. It would be impossible to transport all the people in the Youwei Camp across the river in a day. Just transporting all the troops in the Youwei Camp across the river would take at least three days. Now even if you send a small number of Tunqi camps across the river, it would not be possible to reverse the situation.

Shi Bao thought about it and decided to slow down the pace of the attack. He did not ask the Right Guard to advance forward. As long as he could defend the current beachhead position, he should speed up the crossing of the river as much as possible, so that more infantry soldiers could cross the Yangtze River and increase the troops on the other side. After all the Wei troops crossed the river, they would launch a full-scale attack.

Following Shi Bao's order, after crossing the river, the Right Guard Camp started a battle with the Shu army on one side, and on the other side, they began to dig trenches and pile up high towers on the positions on the shore, preparing to launch a positional battle with the Shu army and try their best to delay the counterattack of the Shu army.

In close combat, the two sides used weapons such as swords and guns. After entering the position, they used more weapons such as bows, arrows, crossbows, and fought back and forth, and they had a lot of fun.

To be honest, the gap between the two sides is not too big in terms of weapons such as bow and arrow crossbows. Ma Jun's crossbow was designed based on Zhuge crossbows. The crossbows used by the Shu army have also been improved several times, and the rate of fire and power have also been greatly increased. The comparison of weapons between the two sides is only at a level of half a pound.

The war has been in a stalemate. Even though the two sides fought continuously for several hours, the sky gradually darkened.
