Chapter 463 The First Battle of the Navy

The ensuing battle seemed a bit intriguing. For several days, Ji Ling either stayed out of the camp, or the two sides collided briefly, basically trying all the arms.

As a result, the external fortifications of the camp over there seemed to have been improved a lot in the past few days. Obviously, even Ji Ling realized that their chances of winning in a frontal battle were very low.

"All the soldiers under Li Ming's command are three-headed and six-armed? It's only been a few days, and 200 soldiers have been reduced! They only killed less than [-] of the opponent!" Yuan Shu received the battle report and looked at the number of the reduction, but there was no detail. When I saw it, I started to lose my temper.

Yan Xiang also found it strange, picked it up and looked at it, and immediately understood, and quickly advised: "My lord, less than 3000 of the [-] soldiers were killed on the battlefield, and the other [-] were all non-combat reductions. Among them Hundreds of people died of freezing. Other factors such as frostbite and wind-cold infection made it impossible to go to the battlefield. Because the weather is getting colder and colder, the combat effectiveness of soldiers is also declining, and our weapons are not as strong as the opponent... ..."

"Excuses are all excuses!" Yuan Shu cursed a few words, but Yan Xiang's persuasion still worked, and he quickly calmed down, "Why didn't you see Li Ming like this!?"

"The barren land where Li Ming lives is full of wild beasts. I'm afraid they have accumulated a lot of furs. Didn't General Ji report it a few days ago? To keep warm, it can also be used as leather armor in battle, making it more difficult to kill them. The key point is that our army lacks enough firewood, and clothing to keep out the cold is also in short supply. Weapons have become brittle due to the cold weather, and many non-soldiers The accumulation of various factors has led to the current result." Seeing this, Yan Xiang also knew that Yuan Shu could understand his suggestion, so he quickly added.

"Do you think Li Ming has money and no place to spend it? Those mud-legged people are so caring... Tell me, what should we do now? All the furs we can collect have already been made into fur coats and distributed. There is still a gap of about [-]. Central Plains lacks furs, and because of the war, we can’t buy furs in Jiangdong, and the furs in the north are now expensive..." Yuan Shu also felt heartbroken, even if each soldier only For a set of leather jackets, the calculation is an astronomical sum.

"Send more civilians to cut firewood and provide the army with firewood to keep out the cold. Let Ji Ling continue to build the fortifications, and at the same time avoid being attacked by Li Ming at night. In terms of key points, I'm afraid it should be placed on Liyang's side!" Yan Xiang thought After thinking about it, given the current conditions, it's really not easy to confront Li Ming head-on.

"What did Zhang Xun do? He arrived in Liyang four days ago, and nothing happened!" Yuan Shu immediately had someone to get angry with.

"My lord, we have taken control of Jiujiang County. We had no plan to go south. Zhang Xun has just arrived in Liyang. I'm afraid it will take a few days to gather the ships." Yan Xiang was helpless. There were also ships along the Yangtze River, but they were not as many as in later generations. , such a big, nearly three-mile river, the slow flow of water in winter is suitable for crossing the river. The problem is that it is very difficult for 2 people to cross the river at the same time.

Yuan Shu also knew that what Yan Xiang said was the truth, but he felt that he couldn't swallow his breath, and finally became less interested. He could only follow Yan Xiang's words and order Ji Ling to strengthen the defense line, and to avoid further abuse of soldiers. Combat attrition.

At the same time, as far as Liyang is concerned, Zhang Xun has been here for four days. During this time, he has found all the ships that can be found around, and there are still tens of thousands of people missing.It doesn't mean that it can be overloaded, but it is very dangerous. Even if the water flow is very stable, Zhang Xun dare not take risks.

Most of the soldiers came from the Central Plains, and they were impermeable to water. If they were really transferred into the river, they would only end up drowning.

"General, if you continue to wait, I'm afraid the lord will blame you." Qiao Rui calculated the time and persuaded him.

"I understand the situation, but the situation on the other side is abnormal, so don't act rashly! It's been so long since the scouts passed, and there is no new news?" Zhang Xun sighed, and then asked.Li Yang's side kept gathering ships, so it was impossible for the other side not to receive news, but as a result, there was no normal garrison on the other side for so long, which made him quite suspicious.

"Our people have already reached the gate of Shicheng County, and we didn't find the enemy. In the end, the defenders of Shicheng shot and killed two people. My subordinates thought that if we didn't cross the river soon, I'm afraid it would be a long night and dreams!" Qiao Qiao Rui further persuaded.

"Forget it, arrange people immediately and cross the river in the afternoon!" Zhang Xun couldn't help but gritted his teeth when he heard the words, and announced the official crossing of the river.

The first batch of 5000 soldiers boarded the ship quickly, and then arrived at the south bank of the east of the river one after another. At the same time, they immediately began to defend to cover the follow-up soldiers crossing the river.After the first batch of soldiers successfully crossed the river, Zhang Xun became a little bolder and ordered 1 people to cross the river.The second batch of people arrived one after another, and Zhang Xun ordered [-] people to board the ship, and the remaining [-] soldiers boarded the ship last.

When the boat left the shore, Zhang Xun couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the enemy army really didn't know that they would go south, so they squeezed their fists and muttered in a low voice: "Wait for me to cross the river, and Danyang County will be turned upside down!"

I don't know if he set up some strange FLAG, but at this moment, on the downstream river, a fleet of ships quickly moved towards them. What makes people speechless is that they are obviously going upstream. Their speed is not slow at all.Not long after, they were within sight and rushed towards them.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Seeing the fleet approaching, Zhang Xun immediately shouted, "Cross the river quickly!"

Having said that, there is no way for the temporarily recruited boatman to speed up.In the end, in a hurry, he simply jumped into the river with a "plop", and swam towards the shore behind after a while, leaving the group of soldiers there in a daze.

"Ah!" No one was driving the boat, and the soldiers suddenly panicked. Some people tried to steer, but they had no experience at all. Suddenly fell into the water.

"Help me, save me!" The soldiers who fell into the water kept struggling, and some were lucky enough to be pulled back by the passed oars, while others were far away, and sank after a dozen or so thumps.Some were in a hurry to pull the boat overturned abruptly, and several soldiers in the boat fell into the water.

"Shoot!" Zhou Tai's navy has arrived, and more than 20 medium-sized warships quickly lined up. Jiang Nian.

The five ships were directly shot through, and the soldiers could only watch the ships sink, even taking their lives towards the end step by step.Some soldiers were shot through by crossbow arrows, and it took three or four crossbow arrows to stop before stopping.Only five crossbow arrows were fired.

Suddenly, the medium-sized warship stepped aside, and a group of warships rushed out. Two rows of paddlers rowed quickly, and the ship quickly slammed into the enemy army. Most of the approaching boats were bumped, the soldiers on them were knocked off the river, and the boats were quickly overturned.

Zhou Tai's flagship, escorted by medium-sized warships, slowly moved towards the torn hole.Soldiers on both sides continued to shoot at the enemy on the sea with bows and arrows.Wherever the fleet passed by, Zhang Xun's department had no room to resist.

"Jump the gang, end this farce!" Zhou Tai said calmly, and quickly a large number of small ships rushed out, and the soldiers on them quickly jumped onto the enemy's ships.

Almost instantly, because of the shaking of the ship, the opponent immediately lost his center of gravity, and was killed by a knife the next moment.

"Who are they?" Zhang Xun only felt his scalp tingling at the moment, and kept urging his subordinates to send him to the shore.Looking at this one-sided battle, I just feel that this is not a water battle at all, but a one-sided bullying.

"General, it's Li Ming's navy, and the leader's surname is Zhou!" The soldiers looked at the flag on Zhou Tai's flagship and shouted.

"Damn it, we've been caught!" No matter how stupid Zhang Xun was, he could still understand that he had been caught. The other party was waiting for him to cross the river. Look at the speed of their progress. Even if they arrived half a day late, they could still quickly intercept him. Own.He even suspected that among the boatmen he had recruited, there were some of them!Only in this way can they know when the army will cross the river.

Yuan Shu has no navy at all, which is their biggest weakness.It would be fine if he could successfully cross the river, but now he was attacked by the opponent halfway across the river. Zhang Xun's [-] troops were completely passive. The key was that the [-] defenders on the shore could not come to rescue.Not to mention the eight thousand pawns who had already crossed the river.

Speaking of this, Zhang Xun looked towards the shore. Just now, there was a commotion over there.

But looking back, a troop was heading towards Qiao Rui's headquarters at the moment.Zhang Xun didn't need to doubt at all. The troops that could appear now could only be soldiers under Li Ming's command.

At the same time, in the direction of the shore, the newly appointed captain of Danyang, Pang De, was leading his headquarters to kill Qiaorui.

The soldiers of the Qiaorui Department had just crossed the river, and many of them didn't even have time to put on their armor. When they got their weapons back from the logistics officer, Pang De directly rushed into the formation. Chen Heng was also transferred to Pang De's command to replace Zu Lang. At this moment, Pound followed Pound's position.

"Surrender, surrender!" Qiao Rui didn't even have room to resist, and abruptly undertook Pound's two aggressive attacks, crying directly, then stepped back abruptly, threw the weapon aside, and knelt down to beg for mercy .

The main general surrendered, and the soldiers below naturally had no reason not to surrender, so they knelt down and begged for mercy, fearing that it would be too late.

"Qiao Rui, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go!" Zhang Xun roared angrily when he finally killed two enemy soldiers who jumped up on the rickety boat.

"Take care of yourself first!" Zhou Tai yelled loudly, and suddenly jumped onto the boat with a fine steel ring knife in his hand. With a strong wind pressure, he slashed towards Zhang Xun with the move of "Splitting Huashan".

Seeing this, Zhang Xun immediately drew his sword to face him, but he didn't want the iron long sword in his hand to collide with the opponent, but there was a violent shaking from below. For a while, Zhang Xun had nowhere to use his strength, and the strength in his hand could not be controlled.

Zhou Tai took advantage of the situation and shouted again, and the force of his attack increased by two points, and he actually directly chopped off Zhang Xun's sword, split it in two, and killed him on the spot.

"Zhang Xun is dead, the descendant will not die!" Seeing this, Pang De immediately shouted.Chen Heng understood what he said, and immediately ordered the soldiers to shout at the same time.

The surviving soldiers on the Yangtze River were on the verge of collapse. Hearing that they cared so much, they surrendered crying.

"Rescue those who fell into the water and treat the wounded! Other sons, come to the shore with me!" Zhou Tai shouted. In fact, a part of the fleet under his command had already transported [-] soldiers to the other side of the Yangtze River, dragging the other party to stay behind. soldiers.

In the evening, the [-] Liyang garrison had been taken by Pang De and Zhou Tai.Immediately, with the help of Zhou Tai, Pang De quickly arrived at the north bank of the Yangtze River, used the defeated army to deceive the city gate, entered Liyang in a mighty manner, and beat down Liyang County before it was completely dark.

 Indeed, the protagonist needs to take the initiative to kill monsters in order to level up, but after getting the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, the campaign system is online, as long as the protagonist participates in the battle, he and the followers who participate in the battle can gain a certain amount of experience, which can also be upgraded as a supplement , and avoid the suspicion of massacres of compatriots.
