Famous water battles in ancient times, what kind of weapons were generally used in ancient water bat

Famous water battles in ancient times were:

1.Chu annihilated Wu: "Left Turn" contains "Chu Zi is the boat master to cut down Wu", which is the earliest water battle that can be seen in the current historical materials, which occurred in the twenty-fourth year of Lu Xianggong (549 BC), when Chu attacked Wu when it was by water.

2.Battle of Qi and Wu: The first naval battle in Chinese history with exact written records took place in 485 B.C., when Wu sent the doctor Xu Cheng to lead the boat division to attack the Qi State on the Shandong Peninsula through Hangou, and carried out a long-distance attack, blocking the waist and volleying, and the two sides fought a naval battle on the sea near Langyatai in Jiaonan, Qingdao today, and finally Wu was defeated.

3.In 482 BC, Gou Jian launched an attack on Wu, in which the naval army had two or three hundred warships, entering Wu from the sea along the Huai River, in order to cut off the retreat of Wu, and weaken the strength of Wu's sailors in the Huai River.

4.Lou Chuan defeated the Han Kou: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty of the Western Han Dynasty appointed Yang Fu as the general of Lou Chuan, commanding the main force of the naval army, and successively pacified South Vietnam and Korea.

5.Battle of Chibi: In 208 AD, after unifying the north, Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to march south of the Yangtze River and capture Jingzhou in one fell swoop.

Cao's total strength reached 230,000, claimed to be 830,000. The Sun-Liu coalition army had only 50,000 troops, and the Cao army had many soldiers, although the army was elite, it was difficult to play a role, so the Sun-Liu coalition army focused on the water war, stopped the Cao army from advancing through the water war, and finally defeated the Cao army by fire.

6.The battle of Wanyan Zongbi (Jin Wushu) to attack the Song Dynasty: In 1129 AD, Wanyan Zongbi led his troops south, and even broke Jiankang, Lin'an, Yuezhou, and Mingzhou, and Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong fled to the sea by boat to avoid being captured.

After some looting by the Jin soldiers, in February 1130, Zong Bi returned north along the canal to Zhenjiang, where he was intercepted by the Song general Han Shizhong. There was a fierce battle between the two sides, and after the Jin soldiers were defeated and retreated into Huangtiandang, they were completely blocked from the way, and the two sides confronted each other for 48 days. Zong Bi's army followed the old road of the Lao Stork River and dug a 30-mile-long canal overnight to escape.

The above list is only a part of the famous water battles in ancient times, and there are many other water battles that are not listed, and with the development of the times, water battles are constantly improving and changing.

The famous water battle in ancient times was the alliance of the Three Kingdoms Sun and Liu against Cao Cao.

The Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Huang Tiandang of the Southern Song Dynasty against Jin, and Zhu Yuanzhang at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

The Battle of Poyang Lake against Chen Youliang, of which the Battle of Poyang Lake was the largest water battle in ancient China and the largest water battle in the medieval world.

It was the Battle of Poyang Lake between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, and the war scene at that time was still quite large and spectacular.

This war was the Battle of Poyang Lake, mainly a major battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang.

The most powerful water station was in July 1363. It was also a big water war. The environment has been greatly affected.

<> "What kind of ** was generally used in ancient water warfare.

The navy in ancient China was the same as the rest of the world, and its early equipment was no different from that of the army. The army on land used swords, guns, bows, and crossbows, and the armies on ships used swords, guns, bows, and crossbows as well. In the early days of water warfare, the main purpose was not to sink enemy ships, but to try to kill the personnel on enemy ships.

Soldiers on both sides of the war often jump onto enemy ships to fight when they are close to each other, with the aim of capturing enemy ships.

In order to adapt to this kind of broadside warfare, as early as the Warring States Period, a unique kind of water warfare ** - hook rejection appeared. It is said that the hook rejection was invented by Lu Ban for the Chu State Navy, and some people think that "hook" and "rejection" are two tools, and some people think that they are one tool. This tool can hook the enemy ship when one side has the advantage, so that the enemy cannot escape, and can also block the enemy ship when one side is at a disadvantage, so that it cannot pursue.

With the development of the times, the ** on the warship began to develop from killing the enemy to destroying the enemy. Bows and crossbows were often equipped with rockets to burn enemy ships. Large bed crossbows were also carried onto the warship, firing huge arrows to destroy the structures on the enemy ships.

Later, a catapult was also equipped on board. The boulder thrown by the stone thrower has a great destructive power for the Zhanwu Bu sedan boat, and it is a sharp weapon for water warfare.

But the use of stone throwers in water warfare also has a lot of disadvantages. In land warfare, the catapult was mainly used to siege and defend the city. During a siege, the catapult is facing a stationary wall; When defending the city, the catapult faces hordes of enemy infantry.

Striking at such a target, the requirements for accuracy are not high. However, in water warfare, the warship is able to move, and the target is relatively small, and the trebuchet is difficult to hit, so the power cannot be exerted.

In order to make up for the shortcomings of the stone thrower, there was a kind of ** made by using the principle of lever during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, called the slap rod. The clap pole is a unique water war in ancient China, and its appearance is similar to a stone thrower, that is, a long wooden stick is erected on the two sides or head and tail of the warship, and a large stone is tied to one end of the wooden stick, and there are several ropes at the other end.

To use it, pull the rope so that the end of the boulder is raised high, and then the ship approaches the enemy ship and loosens the rope. The boulder slammed into the enemy ship under the force of gravity, which could completely destroy the hull of the wooden warship. The slapstick can be said to be a conversion of a catapult used for long-range combat into a melee combat **.

With the popularity of firearms, various gunpowder** also participated in water warfare. In the Ming Dynasty, there were a wide variety of water war firearms, in addition to muskets and artillery, there were also various rockets, firearms and so on. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a primitive triggered mine that could sink under the water, called "Mixed River Dragon", and there was also a kind of floating mine, called "Underwater Dragon King Cannon".

It's all very creative water warfare**.

The water warfare of the Qing Dynasty basically followed the Ming Dynasty, and it was also a mixture of hot and cold weapons. There are no many types of hot weapons in the Ming Dynasty, mainly bird guns, small artillery, and fire pots. Such equipment, when encountering wooden sail warships equipped with dozens or hundreds of guns in Western countries at that time, the outcome was of course tragic.

There are several well-known cases in history of the use of "water instead of soldiers":

1. Jinyang in the late Spring and Autumn Period.

The battle of this war was mainly due to Zhao Xiangzi of the Zhao State.

Zhi Boyao, who was dissatisfied with the Jin State at that time.

This made Zhi Boyao very angry and wanted to destroy Zhao Xiangzi and annex his territory. So, Zhi Boyao united Han Kangzi and Wei Hengzi to form a coalition to attack Zhao Xiangzi. At that time, Zhao Xiangzi's base camp was in Jinyang, and because the city was relatively strong, it could not be attacked for a while, so after three months of siege, he thought of using the strategy of flooding.

When the strategy was about to succeed, Zhao Xiangzi secretly sent people to successfully persuade Han Kangzi and Wei Hengzi, and the three of them jointly deceived Zhi Boyao, causing the flooding of Zhi Boyao's own army, and Zhi Boyao was defeated and killed!

Second, Li Shimin flooded Liu HeiminAccording to"Old Tang Book".Documented,In the "Battle of the Flood", Li Shimin took advantage of the seasonal flooding of the flood to flood Liu Heimin and successfully strangled Liu Heimin.

According to records, Li Shimin extradited Liushui to besiege Liu Heimin, and then sent a team of soldiers and horses to attack Liu Heimin's grain transportation troops, causing Liu Heimin's troops to lack food and food, unable to fight for a long time, and eager to find Li Shimin for a decisive battle. When the time was ripe, Li Shimin ordered the river to be dug up, and the water went straight to the direction where Liu Heimin was, thousands of officers and soldiers were drowned, and Liu Heimin was also hanged!

Third, Guan Yu was flooded with water.

According to"Romance of the Three Kingdoms".Description of Qi Limb,Guan Yu also used the method of "replacing soldiers with water" to repel the Wei State.

The general's forbidden attack. The reason why it was successful this time was because General Wei was negligent and lacked consideration when choosing the camp of the troops! At that time, it was the season of continuous autumn rains, and Yu Ban actually placed the camp on the edge of the pass of the river!

When the water rose sharply, Guan Yu led the water of the Xiangjiang River to the pass of the forbidden camp, washed away tens of thousands of soldiers, and defeated the forbidden army.

Fourth, Chiang Kai-shek.

Ordered to blow up the entrance to the garden.

The embankment is high and amurous.

Taierzhuang is a big victory.

The victory was a great blow to the Japanese army's plan to "annihilate China in three months", but Chiang Kai-shek was carried away by this victory and wanted to rush to solve the problem of the Japanese army. So, 200,000 troops were mobilized in Xuzhou, intending to annihilate Japan in one fell swoop, but this idea was understood by the Japanese army in advance, and the Japanese army mobilized 300,000 troops, but besieged Chiang Kai-shek's 200,000 troops. In a hurry, Chiang Kai-shek came up with a strategy of "flooding the enemy", so he blew a hole in the embankment of the Huayuankou River, and the water was like a wild horse that had escaped, and soon flooded part of the land in Henan, Jiangsu, and Anhui, bringing a heavy foundation to the local people, and countless people died in the belly of the fish, but it also failed to stop the Japanese invasion!

The largest water battle in Chinese history was the Battle of Poyang Lake.

Related introduction: The Battle of Poyang Lake was a strategic battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang in the late Yuan Dynasty to fight for the waters of Poyang Lake.

The victory in this battle laid the foundation for Zhu Yuanzhang to pacify the south of the Yangtze River, and created extremely favorable conditions for the later Northern Expedition and the defeat of the Yuan Dynasty and the unification of the whole country.

Han Xin once used Weishui to eliminate Long Fu. Therefore, measuring the level of the water source is the most important work of the cherry blossoms. There are three types of instruments used to measure the level of water:

Horizontal, photoplate, and degree rods. The level is 1 small tank, there are 3 small pools that are connected, and in each of the 3 small pools there is driftwood slightly smaller than the pool, and the driftwood has teeth, and if the 3 teeth are the same high, it represents the level. The shape of the photoplate is a bit like a square fan, with a length of 4 feet (m) painted black at the bottom 2 feet, white at the top 2 feet, 3 feet wide (m), and a grip 1 foot (m) long.

As for the rod, it is 2 inches (meters) wide and carved into a ruler with an accuracy of minutes. Chiropractic.
