Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 96 The Battle of Dongting
Warships in ancient times were made of pure wood nails.In order to increase the decay resistance of wooden boats, a layer of tung oil will be applied to the boats after they are nailed.

Although the anti-corrosion degree is greatly improved after being coated with tung oil, it is extremely flammable.Burning Chibi also took advantage of this feature.

The pirate ship led by Huang Zu was surrounded by fire oil, and the fire spread so fast that the warship had no time to escape before being surrounded by the fire.

For a moment, the flames shot up into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and the screams of the water bandits joined together.Pitiful for these water bandits, they were buried in the sea of ​​fire without even touching the shore of Xingyue Town.

Huang Zu's eyes were about to burst, and he was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He spent a lot of gold coins on those and borrowed them from other water bandits!Now that he was buried in a sea of ​​flames, how would he go back and confess.In this first round of attacks, at least five thousand water bandits were killed.

"Ah!" Huang Zu roared up to the sky, "If I don't slaughter all the people in Xingyue Town, I, Huang Zu, swear not to be a human being."

"Father," Huang She also stared at Huohai, his eyes were red.

The fire gradually extinguished, and Huang Zu gradually calmed down. He ordered his subordinates to divide into two groups, one led by Huang She, and landed from another place.

He personally led [-] water bandits to attack from the front.

On the shore, Wang Ping watched the fire gradually go out, and his face became more and more serious.Although this time they caused a lot of damage to the opponent, the enemy was still more than ten times stronger than him. If he wanted to win this battle and defend Xingyue Town, it might still be very difficult.

This time, Huang Zu learned his lesson, and instead of ordering the troops to charge forward, he moved forward slowly, clearing the obstacles in front of him, and letting the soldiers shoot at the defenders on the shore.

Not to mention, this had a certain effect. Due to the superiority in numbers, the Xingyue garrison immediately suffered a lot of casualties.

When Wang Ping saw it, he knew that he could not fight recklessly, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to enter the bunker that had been built first, and shoot at the water bandits.

Although this avoids the casualties of its own soldiers, it also reduces the attack on the enemy and allows the water bandits more time to clear obstacles in the water.

The situation is getting more and more severe, and it is only a matter of time before the water bandits land and take over Xingyue Town.

Once the enemy landed, with his own garrison of less than a thousand, he could not resist the attack of the water bandits no matter what.Not far behind is Xingyue Town, Xingyue Town has no danger to defend, once the enemy enters, the consequences will be disastrous.

No matter what you have to block the enemy, even if you die, Wang Ping's face shows a determination to die.

On the other side, the five thousand elite brought by Huang She had already landed ten kilometers away from the pier of Xingyue Town without encountering any resistance.

Seeing his wolf-like team, Huang She had a smile on his face.

If I had known that Xingyue Town only defended the pier, why would I have to sacrifice the lives of thousands of subordinates in vain?But these are not important now, as long as they climb over the mountain in front, they can reach the back of Xingyue Town and massacre the people of Xingyue Town to avenge that day.

"Let's go, go straight to Xingyue Town," following Huang She's order, the [-] team immediately set off and ran towards the mountain ahead.

Soon, the vanguard had reached the halfway up the mountain, and at this moment, there was a rumbling sound, and countless rolling stones rolled down from the top of the mountain.

"Run away," was the only thought in the water bandit's mind. How could these ordinary soldiers resist a stone weighing a hundred catties and a log as thick as a bucket?

I only heard the water bandits screaming, they were either hit by stones or run over by wood.The lucky water bandits were directly smashed into meat paste, avoiding the pain.Those who were unlucky were smashed with missing arms and legs, lying on the ground and crying.

Huang She, who was originally elated, suddenly became as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

The people of Xingyue Town are so insidious, they actually covered the mountain with rolling stones, no wonder they had to set up defenses on the shore of the lake, it turns out that the ultimate move is here.

After a while of rolling stones, he lost thousands of teams, and Huang She almost wanted to cry without tears.This Xingyue Town is so monolithic!

If his father hadn't personally ordered the attack on Xingyue Town, Huang She would have planned to withdraw his troops.The people in Xingyue Town are too unkind, they don't play cards according to the rules at all.

After a lot of difficulty, Huang She reassembled his team and planned to follow the shore of the lake and bypass the hills.As long as they bypass this mountain, Xingyue Town will be safe and secure.

This time, the water bandits learned how to behave, and stopped rushing, but moved forward steadily.

The shores of Dongting Lake were covered with reeds, and because it was autumn, the reeds had already turned yellow, which made Huang She feel anxious. If the enemy attacked with fire again, his army might be completely destroyed.

Therefore, the soldiers of the former army were ordered to cut down the reeds with knives and put them aside, so that a road could be opened up.

Just like this, the marching speed was slowed down, and the team only advanced a few kilometers in half an hour.At this time, Huang She's men and horses had all entered the reeds.

However, an accident happened.Things really happened as Huang She expected, thick smoke billowed all around, and people had already set fire to it.

"Everyone, don't panic, the enemy is still far away, let's split an open space quickly." Huang She yelled hastily.However, his voice was quickly drowned out by the panicked shouts of his subordinates.

The water bandits started running around.However, the reeds were already full of traps, traps, boar traps, and horse traps everywhere.

These are the masterpieces of hunters that Cheng Huang brought back from the mountain village in Wuling County.The trapping skills of the ten hunters trained by Wang Ran have all reached the special level, and Duan Shi's trapping skills have reached the master level.

Possessing the super trap technique, not only can the trap be set up very quickly, but the power of the trap is doubled, and it is not easy to be discovered.

These dense traps have become the nightmare of water pirates.The more flustered they were, the easier it was for them to fall into the trap technique, and the reeds became their Shura hell.

Seeing that his subordinates were being recruited one after another, Huang She was furious, "The order is passed on, whoever is running around will be killed."

His tactic worked quickly, and after shooting dozens of his men, the situation was brought under control.Under Huang She's command, a large open space was quickly cleared out.

Gathering the team in this open space, although they will not be burned to death by the fire, but at the same time block their way forward.The team cannot move forward until the fire is extinguished!

The fire was raging, and the heat wave was bursting. Although the water bandits would not be burned to death, the smoky feeling definitely made them uncomfortable.

The water bandits on the edge were unbearably scorched by the fire, and the closer they got in, the already crowded team became even more crowded, with sweat and various odors dribbling into their noses.

Even Huang She was squeezed in the middle of the team. If it wasn't for the bodyguards struggling to resist the crowded team, Huang She would probably be fainted by all kinds of smells!
But fortunately, just when the water bandits almost fainted, the fire gradually died down.
