东晋南朝时期寿春地区的水战

The Water Battles at Shouchun During the Eastern Jin and the Southern Dynasties

东晋南朝时期,淮南寿春(阳)是南北争战的热点区域之一,双方经常利用当地水文条件来克敌制胜。首先是通过河道运输部队、给养并进行水战,北伐船队主要由黄河入蒗荡渠,再分别经颍水和汝水南下入淮。北魏曾在寿春建立了船厂、港泊和一支水军,并普遍运用树栅阻止敌船的战术。南方政权至寿春的水路或是溯濡须水、淝水而上,或是经中渎水溯淮而上。双方还运用筑堤蓄水作为攻防手段,如积水灌城、开塘放水阻遏来寇,梁朝甚至修筑了规模巨大的"淮堰",企图藉此淹溺沿淮低洼区域的敌军。

The Six Dynasties Era found Shouchun（Yang） of Huainan a hot spot for water battles between north and south,each trying to vanquish the other by taking advantage of the local hydrological conditions.First,the river was used to transport troops and supplies.The Northern Expedition fleet came by way of the Yellow River to the Langdang River before entering the Huai River by way of Ying and Ru Rivers.The Northern Wei regime established in Shouchun a shipyard,a port and a navy,and tried to prevent enemy ships from entering by a tree stump grid.Meanwhile,the Southern Regime＇s course to Shouchun was either by way of the Ruxu and Fei Rivers or the Du and Huai Rivers.The combating sides also tried to build dams and dikes or to conserve water as possible offensive and defensive strategies,like overwhelming the enemies in a flooded city or preventing the enemies from coming near.During the Liang Dynasty,for example,a huge Huai Dam was constructed in an attempt to flood the low-lying areas along the Huai River,where the enemies resided.
