The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 445 Prince Liu Hao, a battlefield veteran
Cui Lin was frightened and wanted to escape. The fighting power of the army was not as fragile as he thought.On the contrary, they were well-trained and well-coordinated. Before the parties had time to refill their ammunition, the second round of artillery bombardment from the government and army came.

They originally only had more than [-] warships of various types, but now they looked at the burning ships on the river.Cui Lin knew that the only thing waiting for them was death, so he didn't take the official navy seriously.I thought they were as incompetent as my comrades in the Xuzhou Navy, but I didn't expect their combat effectiveness to be so strong.

"Abandon ship! We lost!!" Cui Lin said helplessly.

He stood on the deck, and the sailors around him were busy putting out the fire.Several surrounding warships were ablaze with sky-high fires. Countless sailors were fluttering in the water trying to escape, and many soldiers were swallowed by the flames.The artillery fire of the official and military warships roared in the distance, and ships on several sides were blown up.

"Haha! Let's catch all the rebels!" You Wu said with a big smile.

There is an unwritten rule in naval battles that as long as soldiers on the ship dive into the water, they cannot be killed.Carry out the necessary rescues, otherwise you will be cursed by the gods of the sea.

The battle only lasted half an hour, and it took most of the night to save people.Half of the rebel navy was wiped out, and the rest were still being trained by Yizhou's battleships in Hailing.

When Han Chuanli sent the battle report, Liu Hao was still watching the troops fighting hard at the lantern.He was very happy to learn that the navy had won a great victory.

"Okay! I will ask my father to give them credit." Liu Hao said to Du Yu.

Guo Huai and his men were still unable to break through the firepower net of the rebels. After losing the lives of a large number of soldiers, they could only retreat.Angrily, Du Yu wanted to lead his people to rush up, but Wei Maoshi managed to dissuade him.

The firepower configuration of the rebel fortifications is quite terrifying, and the firepower network constructed by mortars and machine guns makes it difficult for the officers and soldiers to move forward.It is difficult for our own heavy artillery to cause effective damage to the stone fortress. In the final analysis, the firepower is not enough. The number of royal missiles is too small. If the attack is scattered, it will be difficult to cause substantial damage.

They had to wait until the attacking troops moved forward to have enough distance to set up the royal missiles.

The early summer night was still a bit cool, and Li Cunxiao and his troops were ambushing in the woods outside Hailing City.He only brought 1000 people with him, and most of the troops were resting two miles away.The woods are not big enough to hide more soldiers.

"Why is there still no movement?" Di Cang asked anxiously.

Zhang Pengjing on the side had already fallen asleep, while Song Kai had been staring at the city gate in the distance.There are less than a hundred defenders in the city, and smoke can be seen rising, which should be warming up.The city wall was not reinforced like that of Guangling. After Tan Hong returned to Guangling, Tan Chen became the general of Hailing's army.He is headstrong and thinks that the line of defense he has set up at Denglongkou is enough to drag Tan Hong to deal with Guangling's officers and soldiers.

At that time, the two sides will attack, and Liu Hao's main force will be wiped out.If the crown prince is defeated, the prestige of the Tan family will reach an unimaginable level.

Now the Kong family and the Wang family have completely surrendered, and their troops have also been incorporated by Tan Hong.Since the aristocratic clan raised troops, no one has been stronger than him.There are still 50 troops on the south bank of the river preparing for war, and they can cross the river for reinforcements in five days.

"Dahu, how many nights have we been on duty?" Zhuang Liang, a rebel guarding the city, asked Li Dahu, who was squatting by the side to warm himself by the fire.

Li Dahu looked up at him and said: "It's been four days, today should be on duty. The lieutenant on duty is Tan Chen's nephew, and our commander will be on duty again at night."

"Hey! A high-ranking official can just talk, but a small soldier can break his leg. If this lasts another three days, I will die of suffocation here." Zhuang Liang said dissatisfied.

Hearing his words, Li Dahu said with a smile: "Why, miss the lady in Xiliu Lane?"

"You don't want to? Ask the brothers who doesn't want to!" Zhuang Liang said with a smile.

Everyone laughed and echoed, discussing which woman is younger and which woman is more beautiful.Xiliu Lane is a famous flower street in the city, whether it is a dignitary or a peddler, everyone can spend here.

"Just thinking about it, I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy it with your life."

A man's voice came from behind Zhuang Liang who was laughing loudly. He was about to turn around when he felt his chest tighten.A long sword pierced his chest from behind, and a dozen warriors in light armor rushed over and beheaded a dozen of them on the spot.

Their cries for help were also covered by the strong wind.Pang Bao led his men to wait under the city for more than two hours, just to wait for the wind to blow, otherwise they would not be able to deal with so many rebels.

Li Dahu was very brave, he chopped up the rebels beside him one by one.He is the spy of the Lantern House, lurking in the ranks of the rebels.There are four spies lurking with him, and their leader Zhou Jun is one of them.When Zhou Jun brought people close to the city gate, the rebels on the city hadn't reacted yet, thinking that he was on patrol.

They didn't realize that Zhou Jun was going to open the city gate until the city gate made a sound.They were about to rush down to close the door when Li Dahu and the others ignited the fuse, causing heavy casualties to the rebels on the steps.

"Haha! Brothers, attack!" Di Cang got on his horse and shouted loudly.

In fact, the moment the city gate was opened, he had already mounted his horse and waited.Zhang Pengjing was in a deep sleep, and Di Cang didn't plan to call him.If you want to grab the lead by yourself, this guy is too fierce.If he was allowed to enter the city, he would inevitably make fun of him after the war.

Just as he was about to gallop his horse into the city gate, a black figure rushed past him.Di Cang hurriedly swung his whip to urge the horse to continue to sprint, and this black shadow was Zhang Pengjing.

"General Di, take people to the city, let's guard the north gate first." Zhang Pengjing shouted.

"Damn, this guy is really smart." Di Cang said, "Okay! General Li must have heard the explosion and should be here."

They climbed onto the city wall and built fortifications with earth, wood, masonry and stone from the city wall.To block the rebels attacking from other directions, Zhang Pengjing climbed into a nearby house with a machine gun.Then he got on the roof and ran wildly into the distance.

He was going to the Sheriff's Mansion to see if he could take advantage of the chaos and kill Tan Chen.He had been to Hailing before. He came with his uncle to visit relatives a few years ago. He remembered the location of the Sheriff's Mansion.

The rebels in the city stopped charging after dozens of people were killed or injured.Just shooting at each other with the officers and soldiers, their fighting will is not strong.

"Li Cunxiao of the Dragon Army is here, who dares to fight!"

"Long Xiang's army has a hundred thousand cavalry entering the city, who dares to stop it!"

Shouts sounded outside the city, and Li Cunxiao had already entered with his troops.Soon the troops went to the city to support them and defeated the rebels steadily.They threw down their weapons and fled back down the stairs, and the dragonflyers took the walls with little cost.

With the commanding heights, there is also control over the four city gates.The rebels in the city were nothing more than a turtle in a urn. After Tan Chen got the news, he fled outside under the protection of his own soldiers.

A black hole in the night was aimed at him.

"Da da da da" gunshots rang out, and Tan Chen and several soldiers were beaten into pieces. Before the guards could react, Zhang Pengjing dropped the machine gun and ran away.
