Chapter 726: Suspected Heavenly Soldiers are coming
Li Hongchao has been waiting. He knew that this day would come soon. Jingzhou navy was waiting for him. With the support of the river raft platform, he was confident to deal with his opponent. As long as he was not far away from the river raft platform, the large number of long-range weapons arranged on the river raft platform will give him the greatest support and make up for the gap between him and his opponent in weapons. Li Hongchao no longer hopes that he can defeat the opponent. Even if he has more people than the opponent and more ships than the opponent, the opponent's sharp weapons are enough to destroy any of his fantasies.
It was enough for him to just defend Cangjiang. This was Cheng Qun's retreat. He believed that when Cheng Qun understood this trap, he would definitely withdraw from Yizhou and retreat back to Jingzhou without hesitation. As long as the Jinwu Guard returned to Jingzhou, then things would not be in despair.
Before the river raft platform, more than 20 five-masted ships and countless auxiliary ships were laid out by the Jingzhou Navy to form a strong water city.
The alarm bells on the raft platform on the river stops the river ring, the alarm bells on Yanziji, the alarm bells on the Lotte Cliff on the other side are ringing, and further away, the alarm bells in Jingzhou City are ringing. Jingzhou, which has been calm for many years, finally felt nervous for the first time.
"It's so noisy!" Ma You covered his ears, speeded up his pace, and ran desperately along the road up Yanziji. He knew that when it was bright, his troops would be exposed to broad daylight. As soon as he approached the fortress above, he could take Yanzijiji one step earlier, so that his subordinates could survive more.
He ran so fast that a steaming white mist rose on his wet armor.
Behind him, all the 1,700 soldiers still alive,
Ding Xiaoyu is a lieutenant of the Jingzhou Town Army. He is a native of Jingzhou. He has never seen any big battle in his life. The only war was when he surrounded and suppressed the Meng people. His only experience was when he saw the Meng people. He didn't even pull out his sword, let alone blood, and the battle ended. He once thought that he would not really fight with others in his life. He was very happy and he didn't want to fight to the death. Because he had a happy family, a beautiful wife, and a strong son, he was very satisfied with the status quo.
When the river raft platform was built, he was a little worried, because it means that there would definitely be powerful enemies, and the Jingzhou Navy must not be able to defeat it, so he made such a thing, but he was not a navy, so although he was worried, he was not afraid, and was transferred to Yanziji to serve as the level defense here. The terrain here is very good, and it stuck the only road to Yanziji. There were five hundred men under guard. His only task was to protect the soldiers on Yanziji, which made him feel very relaxed. No one was so stupid that he would attack Yanziji. This place was completely blocking the pass, and tens of thousands of men could not open, so he was still very relieved.
The alarm bell rang today, and the enemy who had been worried about it finally came. He stood on the not-too-high city wall and tried his best to look into the end of the river. However, at his position, he could only see a section of the Cangjiang River. He could not see the enemy upstream clearly. He could only see his own naval army forming an iron barrel array, faintly, many, very powerful. Looking at Yanzijie, there were bright lights, and many people were running and busy. It was the soldiers who were setting up thunder cannons.
He was very happy without his own business.
The sky and the earth suddenly shone brightly. The weather that had been hazy for many days suddenly shone brightly today. A red sun jumped out from the tip of the mountain. The light instantly shone golden between the sky and the earth. Ding Xiaoyu had a dazzling light before his eyes. He couldn't help but close his eyes slightly and adapted for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, his whole body suddenly stayed there. On the road to Yanziji, a team was running upwards. Each of them was filled with mist. Under the reflection of the sun, the fog actually shone with colorful light.
Ding Xiaoyu became petrified in an instant.
Behind him, countless soldiers exclaimed, "Is it the heavenly soldiers and generals?" The army with fog all over his body was emitting colorful light, a heavenly soldiers and generals?" Ding Xiaoyu heard the sound of teeth fighting behind him, and some people's legs became weak and they fell to the ground.
"The gods are angry, the gods are trying!" Someone exclaimed. The sound of weapons falling to the ground on the city walls is endless. They are soldiers. They may not be afraid of fighting with others, but everything in front of them makes these people lose their fighting spirit in an instant.
This is the only passage to Yanziji. How did so many troops suddenly appear on the Mid-mountain Road? It is so dazzling that they could not think of any other reason except for the divine weapons falling from the sky.
The sound of the thumping sound rang out, it was the sound of the soldiers kneeling to the ground.
Ding Xiaoyu's eyes turned, and the screams and prayers behind him woke him up. He returned to himself with a trace of vitality. The mist on the soldiers running on the mountain road was dissipating, and the dazzling light was disappearing. He saw the other party's clothing and armor clearly. He saw the other party's flag, "It's the Northern Army!" He shouted loudly.
"Light up the wolf smoke, warn the Northern Army attacked Yanziji!" After all, they were officers, and they had much more knowledge than those soldiers. When the fear disappeared, he had figured out how the other party bypassed him and appeared on the half-mountain road. They swam from the opposite side. In early March, even if the water in the Cangjiang River was not as cold as ice, it was not the season for swimming. These people, with their weapons and armor, actually swam over like this. Are they still humans?
Lin Xiaoyu looked pale and kicked the same pale soldier behind him frantically, and howled constantly.
Ma You turned around and clearly saw the chaos above the level below. He saw the pillar of wolf smoke rising up. He couldn't help but grin and showed his white teeth: "Little one!" He cursed in a low voice.
Yanziji was just above his head, and there was already a soldier rushing down.
The horse friend pulled out his sword and rushed forward howled. Behind him, a soldier raised his crossbow and heard a sound of chirping.
Li Hongchao did not board the warship today, but sat in the river raft platform. Here, he could only see the thunderbolt cannon position at the top of Yanziji, and could not see the chaos above the level on the back. However, the wolf smoke rising from the pillar still shocked him. The opponent did start from attacking Yanziji.
He was not very worried. He knew very well that there were five hundred soldiers stuck on the only passage and that they would not be able to take down anyway without paying ten times the price. He could not think of any other way to take down Yanziji except for taking lives. What's more, when the wolf smoke rose, Pan Yi in Jingzhou City would respond immediately. Reinforcements would quickly arrive at Yanziji, encircle the enemies there, and wipe out them all.
Because Li Hongchao believes that the opponent cannot use large-scale troops to attack Yanziji, at most it will be a small raid, so there is no need to worry too much.
He was shocked and stared at the distance. On the opposite side of him, white sails covered the sky and the sun, and countless small boats were riding the wind and waves, shooting like arrows.
"Intercept!" He spitted two words out of his mouth. Those small boats that came riding the wind and waves had only a few boatmen on the boat, but the bows were filled with sharp corners. Needless to think, the boat must be filled with flammable objects. If such a small boat hit a large boat or blocking the river raft platform, it would fall into the sea of fire with him like a bone-bearing maggot.
Whether it is the raft platform on the river or the five-masted warship, the thunder cannons began to fire, intercepting these small boats that were shot like fish on the river.
After several battles with the Northern Army, Li Hongchao also learned a move, which was to launch a ladder, dividing all long-range weapons into several waves, round-rotating and shooting, so that the continuity of shooting could be ensured, and there would be gaps in it. From the first round to the last round, the time between this was enough to allow the first-fire thunderbolt cannon to be reinstalled and carry out a new round of test fire.
Countless stone bullets rose into the air. The soldiers on the boat opposite were staring at the falling rocks in the sky, flexibly turning the rudder handle, walking between the huge rocks. The stone bullets fell and rose up a giant pillar soared into the sky. The boat shook left and right, as if it could capsize at any time.
With a loud bang, a ship was hit by a stone bomb, and it was broken into two pieces. Without a single bubble, it sank to the bottom of the river. The sailors on the ship probably wouldn't be able to survive, but the other small boats did not pause at all and continued to move forward. They were deaths themselves. If they got on such a ship, their lives were no longer theirs. It was their only mission to make the ship crash into the other party's things and then burn them up. As for how to escape after completing the task, they had no consideration. Leave it to fate, there would always be lucky people who could survive, and everyone felt that they would be the lucky one.
Behind them, the main warships are approaching. Compared with the giant thunderbolt cannons installed on the river raft platform of Jingzhou Navy, although the ship-borne thunderbolt cannons of the Navy Navy's Navy's ship-borne thunderbolt cannons are much inferior in range. If they do not cause chaos to the opponent, then at this distance, the Navy Navy Committee of the Navy Navy will obviously suffer a loss.
It has to be said that the role of Li Hongchao's raft platform blocking the river is very obvious. He moved the giant stone cannon that can only be used on land to the river.
Cao Xinyu stood at the bow of the ship, watching the small boats capsized in the rainy stone bombs. Less than a stick of incense were started, more than a dozen small boats had sunk into the river on the opponent's attacks, and they didn't even have time to ignite the fire on the ship.
He turned his eyes to Yanziji on the left. Ma You should have attacked there. If Ma You can't take Yanziji, he will face a hard battle today.
A small boat finally broke through the interception of the stone bomb. The rushing flames rose from the boat. The sailors on the boat jumped into the river. Next, it was left to fate.
The sound of crossbows sounded across the opposite side, and countless sailors stood on the boat and rowed forward with hooks in hand. They wanted to stop the boats from rushing to the iron barrel array they laid out.
