Chapter 227 Blocking the Battle Water and Land
After Huang Zu was injured, the pain transmitted by the wound was ten times larger, and his whole left arm and half of his body could not move. The clear feeling of pain made him dizzy and sweaty. The arrow did not penetrate his arm, and he could clearly feel the tip of the arrow against the bone. Such a situation is more unbearable than an arrow penetrating the arm. This is also the brilliance of Tai Shici's arrow skills: if the arrow penetrates the arm, Huang Zu can cut off the tip of the arrow with a treasure knife and pull out the arrow in one fell swoop; if the arrow is inserted in the arm, if it is forcibly pulled out, it will definitely bring bleeding and cut the veins.
Huang Zu, who was suffering from pain, really couldn't think of how the Jiangdong army could stop the 80,000 army in Jingzhou. For nearly two hours, the old man who was not sharp enough time rushed here...
Time goes back to two hours ago, that is, when Huang Zu and Tai Shici began to fight. Jingzhou generals Zhang Hu, Lv Mao, Huang Hu, Huang She and others led nearly 60,000 troops and opened the front line. Huang Long, Huang Zu's eldest son, led 20,000 sailors down the river by boat, in an attempt to take a shortcut to cut off the back road of the Eastern Wu army, so as to complete the strategic intention of the two-sided attack.
After Huanglong led the department to enter the open river with 15 boats, Zhang Fan accelerated with the help of the wind. After turning a corner, the sailors in Jingzhou saw the boats and boats in Jiangdong, hundreds of meters away. Five buildings and boats are lined up in the center of the river, and ten boats are close to the shore. Jiangdong soldiers continue to come ashore from the river and quickly rush to the dense forest on the bank of the river. This scene is the scene that Huang Zu saw when he climbed up and looked up. Huang Zu knew that from Jiangdong to Jiangxia County, the waterway is much faster and more secretive than from the land... Jiangdong transports soldiers through the waterway. Huang Zu knew this military situation in advance, so he arranged his eldest son Huang Long to stop the enemy with the help of the "land advantage".
Huang Zu knows the platoon of the Jiangdong army like the palm of his hand. It was secretly passed on to Huang Zu by Han Dang, the patriarch of a rich clan in Jiangdong. Han Dang's move has only one purpose: to use the power of Huang Zu to give Tai Shici a head attack, and frustrate Tai Shici's spirit and prestige...
On the wide river, the volume of the Dongwu building ship is at least three times larger than that of Jingzhou. Fortunately, the bow is wrapped in iron. The two armies met and the brave won. Huang Long, who was worried about his father's safety, ordered his subordinates to beat the drum and accelerated down the flow of the building boat. At the same time, soldiers who are good at water warfare stand in the bow of the bow and build rockets. As long as they enter the range, thousands of rockets will greet the enemy's ships.
At a distance of 500 meters, Huang Long can see the general standing on the top floor of the enemy's command ship - Cheng Pu, a white-bearded veteran. Cheng Pu is an "old friend" of the Huang family. Even if he turns to ashes, Huang Long can recognize it... Of course, the sailors in Jingzhou can also see the level of the front cabin platform of the Dongwu Building. A distinct crossbow platform.
Another 200 meters forward, Jingzhou's stinge was blocked by objects in the hidden water. The stingling in the front began to shake violently and swirling in place. The sting in the back was too late to slow down, and suddenly hit the stingling in front that was out of control. The violent impact caused many soldiers to be shaken into the water.
" Calm down! Calm down! The soldiers in the water quickly dismantle the obstacles!" In the face of sudden troubles, Huang Long tried his best to restrain his inner panic and shouted around.
Since they are sailors and fall into the water, they feel much safer. They immediately took off their heavy armor and dived straight to the bottom of the water.
At the bottom of the river, there are more than a dozen rope nets from south to north. The rope net is full of ball-shaped objects made of animal airbags or stomachs. These spherical objects are full of stones. It is these obstacles that block the progress of Jingzhou... Even if it is downstream!
Under the undercurrent of the river, the Jingzhou sailor pulled out a dagger and was about to cut off the rope net entangled in the dragonfly. At this time, the crossbow arrows shot from the deeper depths of the dark bottom of the water hit their bodies. The blood fluttered like clouds in the river, and the Jingzhou sailors who hit the arrow slowly sank into the bottom of the river.
When Huang Longyan saw the blood-red color surging up from the bottom of the water, he knew that the enemy had arranged dark soldiers underwater. He raised his eyes and saw that the boat in Jiangdong was approaching him again. He was shocked and roared, "Retreat! Retreat!"
Only when his words fell, the crossbow arrows of the enemy's building ship shot at them. These crossbows were four times larger than ordinary arrows, and these special arrows were several times more lethal than ordinary arrows. The Jingzhou sailors only heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air, and then the bright sky was dark. The next moment, they either saw a huge arrow inserted into their own body or a huge arrow inserted into their companion's body.
At the same time, the rocket that had been ignited in their hands could not be fired, so it fell into their own fire. Hundreds of rockets gathered together and immediately ignited the wood. So, the next moment, the screams sounded sadly in the fire, which was unbearable.
Such a situation made Cheng Pu, the general of Jiangdong, feel very comfortable, and a kind of gratitude for revenge roamed in his heart. Fighting on the water, looking at the world, who is the opponent of the Jiangdong Water Dragon Army?
Regardless of the safety of his generals, Huang Long, under the protection of the guard, escaped from the command ship awkwardly, took the lifeboat, and went straight to the back. When he boarded the sergeant at the end, he anxiously ordered his subordinates to transfer to the sergeant who was temporarily in the safe zone. When the dragonfly was about to accelerate, hundreds of crossbow arrows broke through the air and shot on the sails. The flames met the flammable sails, and the sparks immediately turned into flames.
The mountains and rivers were exhausted, and Huang Long had no choice but to take off his armor, jump into the water, and swim to the shore. The sailors in Jingzhou saw that the generals had escaped, and they jumped into the water one by one to escape.
Fortunately, Jiangdong has no time and no extra troops to arrange ambush in this area. Otherwise, these Jingzhou soldiers will swim ashore, which will also lead to the tragic end. When Huang Long swam to the bank of the river, he found 20,000 sailors, and now less than 5,000 people have successfully escaped. The rest of the soldiers either died on the spot or became prisoners of the enemy.
When the Jiangdong soldiers on the bank of the river attacked them, even if they were several miles apart, Huang Long and others were like frightened birds and fled to Jiangxia City. At this time, they only hate that their parents gave birth to two legs.
Waterway battle, Jingzhou Army was completely defeated! Jiangdong Water Dragon Army won a brilliant victory. Next, let's look at the land battle of the Second Army...
On the official road ten miles away from the wide north and south of the Yangtze River, the leading troops of Jingzhou, which were galloping all the way, met the enemy's troops. The general led by the Jiangdong army was a beautiful young man with red teeth and white teeth. Zhang Hu, a general in Jingzhou, has been fighting with the Sun family in Jiangdong for several years and has never seen this general.
As soon as the two sides encountered each other, they will fight against the generals and soldiers. The combat strength of the generals on both sides is equal, the number of people is about the same, and the arms is roughly the same. As a result, in a fierce battle, the casualties of the soldiers on both sides are half a catty. It was not until the Chinese army in Jingzhou rushed here and saw the enemy's reinforcements arrive that the soldiers in Jiangdong broke away from the battlefield and quickly retreated to the rear.
When the Jingzhou army chased the military fortress - Hulukou, they saw soldiers standing in Jiangdong on the mountains on both sides of Hulukou. There are 20,000 soldiers, and more than a thousand stone throwers are placed on the peaks on the two sides. This kind of stone thrower is novel, and the base is not fixed, but wheels.
This wheel-type stone thrower is the invention of Jianghuai Yingjie Zhou Yu: this wheel-type stone-type stone-throwing machine is not as powerful as Cao Cao's continuous stone-throwing machine, but it is easy to carry and light in weight. Four soldiers can lift it, and two soldiers can easily push it; it is extremely suitable for fighting in mountainous and hilly areas. If it is in the plain, this kind of stone-throwing machine has little advantage: no matter how fast the wheel is, can it run over the war horse?
The generals of Jingzhou saw the Jiangdong soldiers standing full of waiting on the mouth of the gourd, and they were stunned one by one: Did the Jiangdong soldiers have wings? How did they get to the mouth of the gourd? If they can't pass the gourd mouth in time, then their commander Huang Zu may be in danger. In this case, everyone can think of the result with their knees... If they bypass the gourd mouth and pass through the rugged mountain road, they can't reach the area behind the gourd mouth for three hours, three hours. In the face of many encirclement, can their commander Huang Zu last so long?
