Chapter 178 The Battle of Baimajin (1)
"Okay, that's it. After going down, Wenyuan, you can choose the troops and organize the ships by yourself. I'll wait for you to return to victory." Xiao Tianci nodded, then looked at Zhao Yun and the others who were a little regretful and smiled: "You guys don't have to regret it. There are some wars we come out this time, and we will rely on the generals to do more work."
"Lord, you'll save me some money." Zhao Yun and his men hurriedly bowed their hands.
In the following two days, as more and more ships were collected, Xiao Tianci and his team had officially entered the countdown. This time, a total of thousands of fishing boats were collected. According to the calculation that a fishing boat could transport four to five soldiers, it was calculated that Zhang Liao's troops attacking Baimajin this time were only 5,000 troops, but these troops were all elites among Xiao Tianci's 400,000 troops. Zhang Liao himself was absolutely confident that he would take these 5,000 people to kill the 30,000 enemy naval army in Baimajinli, seize the entire Baimajin, and recreate the glory that shocked Xiaoyaojin.
The upper reaches of the Jingjiang River are a clear stream that flows out from the sacred peak of the West, which is towering into the clouds. After slowly passing through the low hills in Tianqingzhou and Qinghe Prefecture, it gradually intersects with the diving from the mountains of Shanyuezhou. When you arrive in the area of Jingjiang City, you will be vaguely rushing with the big river.
Zhang Liao's fleet was docked by the Jingjiang River, and the embroidered military flags were flying on the fishing boat in the sunshine. Standing on the bow were five thousand elite soldiers with distinctive armor. They were about to leave here and go to another battlefield.
"Wenyuan, you go first, the army will arrive later, and promise that the road will be smooth." Xiao Tianci stood by the river and arched at Zhang Liao who was standing at the bow of the ship, shouting loudly.
"Don't worry, lord, when you arrive, Liao will welcome lord in the white horse stalk." Zhang Liao returned a bow to Xiao Tianci, then turned his head and waved his right hand and shouted: "Go!"
Thousands of fishing boats rushed down the river and rushed towards the Baimajin.
In Jingjiang City, there is still a lively and prosperous image. Merchants from all over the world gather here, and the streets in the city are crowded with people. Various transactions and bargaining sounds are inferior to every corner of the city.
However, compared to the bustling city, the mansion of the lord of Jingjiang City was solemn at this moment. Several nobles in charge of the military and political power of Jingjiang City all looked at the middle-aged man sitting in the lobby with a frown.
This person is the actual controller of Jingjiang City, Zhang Poyue. Zhang Poyue looks only about forty years. He looks sophisticated, with a white face without beard, but his eyes are bright and bright. From time to time, there is a flash of light in his eyes, which makes people dare not look directly at him. As a person who has always been good at specializing in, Zhang Poyue has been able to stand firm in the Tianfeng Kingdom for many years. However, he has extraordinary skills. However, this time facing Xiao Tianci's 400,000 army invasion, this time, the long-time general on the battlefield was embarrassed, even though he was surrounded by the natural danger Jingjiang City and the rolling Jingjiang River as a barrier, so
It is impossible for an idle enemy to capture Jingjiang City. But this time it was different when facing Xiao Tianci. After all, as the gateway, Zhang Poyue could definitely control a lot of intelligence information. This time, Xiao Tianci destroyed the 800,000 coalition soldiers who invaded him. The shock he had given him was absolutely earth-shaking. He could not imagine that Tianqingzhou was so powerful that Zhang Poyue could not imagine. Therefore, Zhang Poyue felt critical for the first time about Xiao Tianci's hundreds of thousands of troops siege the city.
Looking at the wine bags below, Zhang Poyue's frown became deeper. He didn't expect these guys to make any plans or plans. He just hoped that when fighting with Xiao Tianci's troops, these guys would not cause trouble. Zhang Poyue thought of this and coughed softly, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip of tea. He was about to speak, but suddenly heard a sudden burst of rapid sound from outside.
"Report!" A soldier hurriedly ran in from outside, bowed his hands and knelt in front of Zhang Poyue on one knee.
Seeing this soldier who suddenly broke in, Zhang Poyue's heart suddenly became nervous and said directly: "What's so panicked? There is no moral integrity at all."
"Report... Report to the situation of the enemy army across the river." The soldier returned panting.
"What's the situation?" Zhang Poyue grabbed the handrail and asked hurriedly.
"Sir, the enemy has collected a large number of ships. Just now, carrying a large number of soldiers, has already sailed towards the downstream Baimajin."
"What? The enemy has gone to Baimajin?" Zhang Poyue stood up in shock and shouted loudly.
"Yes, sir, the enemy's thousand small boats have already descended along the river. What should we do?" the soldier confirmed.
Zhang Poyue did not return immediately, but stood up and walked back and forth in the lobby with his hands behind his back. All the others looked at him and moved with his movement. The whole lobby was extremely quiet, and even the slight breathing of these people could be heard.
Zhang Poyue walked back and forth a few times and suddenly stopped, turned to look at the soldier and said, "In this way, you immediately send someone to inform Baimajin and tell General Poshan about the enemy's situation to General Poshan, so that they can prepare. In addition, he also sent a command to the cavalry general, and ordered him to order 30,000 cavalry to quickly rush to Baimajin to support him."
"Yes, sir."
............
Baimajin is located in the lower reaches of Jingjiang River. Behind Baimajin is a very wide lake called Baimahu. Legend has it that in ancient times, there were white Tianma inhabited here, so it was named Baimahu. The location of Baimajin is at the intersection of Jingjiang River and Baimahu Lake. It occupies the main throat road and has a very prominent geographical location.
When the vast Jingjiang River flows into Baima Lake here, it is like a cloth bag with a hole in it. The river road suddenly becomes narrower. The cliffs on both sides of the river are surrounded by abyss, with strange peaks standing in the river. The falling rocks directly divide the river water into waves in the river, and the mountains are extremely steep.
Zhang Poshan, the navy general stationed in Baimajin, had received a message from Jingjiang City. When he learned that a large group of enemy soldiers were coming down the river and attacking them fiercely, Zhang Poshan immediately mobilized all the navy troops and prepared for battle. At the same time, Zhang Poshan also personally led five thousand soldiers and horses to ambush directly at the entrance of Baimajin. A large amount of tincture, dry materials and other fire-driven objects were prepared on the ship. Five thousand soldiers were also hiding on both sides of Jinkou. Most of them were archers, preparing to attack Zhang Liao's fleet from both sides with the advantage of geographical advantages. In Baimajinli, not far away, hundreds of large warships had begun to gather, and the remaining 20,000 sailors were quietly waiting on the battleships, ready to support the battle in Jinkou at any time.
Zhang Poshan's plan was to wait for the enemy's army to enter the Baima Jinkou, and he sent all the boats with tiny oil and diesel to rush into the enemy's fleet, and then ignited the boats to attack and burn them with fire. At the same time, thousands of archers on both sides of Jinkou also fired thousands of arrows. If the enemy fled backwards, he would let the hundreds of large warships waiting in Jinzhong to chase them out and chase them along the river, and be sure to eliminate the enemy on this Jingjiang River.
Zhang Poshan is still very confident about this plan. After he was ready, he stood on the shore and stared at the upstream river surface, secretly estimating the time for the enemy to arrive. The upstream Jingjiang City is actually not very far from their Baimajin. If the enemy's boat goes down the river, it should only take an hour to reach it. It took Zhang Poshan almost more than an hour to finish his preparation work, so it should be shortly before the enemy's arrival.
Zhang Poshan actually didn't take Xiao Tianci's troops seriously. He was different from his brother Zhang Poyue. Compared to Zhang Poyue, he was more warlike and more impulsive. In addition, his extraordinary strength did not take the enemy troops that were attacking this time seriously. The fighting spirit in his heart had long been aroused.
"General, the enemy has arrived." Just as Zhang Poshan was still concentrating on his mind, a soldier beside him pointed at the river surface and suddenly shouted loudly.
Zhang Poshan quickly looked around and saw countless ships floating on the wide river. These ships were only big and small, half the size of their warships, but a small one was a small boat. When two or three people stood there, there was no more space.
However, a large ship was sailing in front of these ships. A mighty general could be seen on the bow of the ship. The man stood at the bow of the ship, and a sharp aura came to his face. All the soldiers lying on the ambush here held their breath and became nervous. Zhang Poshan also took a deep breath, tried his best to regulate his breathing, held the sword in his hand tightly, penetrated his whole body, and was ready to start.
Zhang Liao and the others finally arrived.
The fleet was getting closer and closer, and against the dazzling sunlight, it slowly entered the entrance of the white horses like a long snake.
Zhang Poshan's whole body suddenly became tense, and even his breathing seemed to stop. He was waiting, waiting for all the enemy ships to enter the best attack distance. He quietly commented on the boats rowing in. The most elite, strongest and most powerful divine sword soldiers standing on the boat also appeared in Zhang Poshan's eyes. Looking at these soldiers, Zhang Poshan's brows suddenly frowned. Even from such a distance, he could feel the power of these soldiers. It was a feeling of a strong man. He could feel the slow flow of internal air under the skin of these soldiers. He didn't expect that the enemy would actually have so many soldiers who practice martial arts. In this way, if his navy was facing these powerful martial arts soldiers, he would probably be able to fall well.
