Chapter 305 Let’s go! The soldiers of Wu who stayed up all night for two days surrendered within a quarter of an hour.

Zhuge Jin hesitated again and again, but still chose to listen to Zhuge Liang. In this era, clan relations are always more important than the monarch.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang's request was not to cooperate, but to be careful, which made him feel that there must be danger involved.

But the defense that needs to be done still needs to be done. Through the letters, Zhuge Jin discovered a very key point, that is, all Liu Bei's ships were large iron ships.

A water war is unwinnable. Blocking waterways is undoubtedly a fantasy for the rapid and deep currents of the Yangtze River. Therefore, the iron-clad ships are destined to move forward in an unstoppable manner.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Jin had an idea. Since you are all spearmen, and you only have armored ships, and have not prepared a large number of archers, then I can prevent you from getting ashore, okay?

As long as the armored ship cannot reach the shore, it can either continue to move downward and lengthen the battle line, or stop in the wilds upstream and downstream to let the army disperse and be defeated.

Gradually, a plan emerged to set up catapults near the shore, throw huge rocks to change the water depth on the shore, block large ships from seeing the shore, and use catapults to sink ironclad ships.

"Come here, please inform Captain Xingye immediately to discuss matters."

Zhuge Jin's bodyguards left after receiving the order. Within half an hour, Zhou Yu's second son Zhou Yin arrived.

"Mr. Ziyu, I heard from the guard that you called me. Is there a war?"

"Come and sit on the public platform, it's like this..." (Zhou Yin's cousin's name is unknown, so he placed it on his father's Gongjin for easy identification.)

Following Zhuge Jin's introduction, Zhou Yin's brows also wrinkled, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Mr. Ziyu, even if we pile huge rocks around the dock, it will only cause a little trouble for the Shu army.

Moreover, the Shu army dared to let Mr. Mancai come back and conveyed the strength of the Shu army's ships. It was full of confidence, which already showed that they had nothing to fear.

In fact, we should open the pier wide and let them dock and disembark, first interrupting the role of the iron-clad ships."

"Gongtai, do you mean to set up an ambush?"

Zhuge Jin thought about it and realized that although this plan was risky, it was also more feasible.

"Yes, their ultimate goal is to attack the city. There are thousands of people on one ship, so we can set up an ambush for the archers to prevent them from returning.

Besides, it’s not certain whether the armor Zhang Yide mentioned is available. Even if it is available, is it possible for all the armies to wear armor?”

"Xiao Liang said that the Ming Empire gave Liu Xuande one million catties of copper."

……(◣д◢)

"Even if it does exist, Shuzhong can't make it. Tens of thousands of armors can be produced in one month. Is it possible?

Not to mention a million pounds of copper, who would dare to think about it? What's more, can the armor stop the catapult you arranged? Can it stop the crossbow?"

Zhou Yin was a little angry. How could it be possible for a million kilograms of copper? This was an insult to his IQ.

However, his words made Zhuge Jin nod in agreement. Indeed, no matter how powerful the armor is, can it withstand a huge boulder?

It is also necessary to set up stone barriers along the coast. After all, Zhou Yin was an auxiliary garrison, so he could only obey the order and start mobilizing his soldiers to pull the huge rocks and sink them into the river.

Because of Yan Zhen's notice, the entire Nanjun entered a highly tense state of war readiness. Everyone also knew about Liu Bei's bold words, or wishful thinking, about capturing Nanjun in three days.

The next morning in Baidicheng, Liu Bei got up early and went to the shore to play with the stereo, preparing to swear an oath and set sail. Zhang Fei followed him.

"Your Majesty, I only borrow ten rounds of ammunition for each spearman. Isn't that too little?"

"What's missing? Ten rounds for one person, ten thousand rounds for a thousand people. If you shoot with your eyes closed, you can kill thousands of people."

Zhang Fei was obviously dissatisfied with the amount of ammunition Liu Bei distributed. This amount of ammunition was enough for the soldiers to pull the trigger ten times.

But Liu Bei felt that only by issuing too few soldiers would he save money. There were not many opportunities for them to actually shoot. If he sent too many soldiers, they would not cherish them. It would be bad if too many people were killed.

Seeing that he couldn't get more, Zhang Fei could only continue to follow Liu Bei and watch Liu Bei playing with the speakers, not knowing what he was doing.

In fact, Liu Bei also communicated with Chongzhen in real life, and then he knew the general usage of this thing, and with the system indoctrination, he was able to make the sound energized.

On the riverside where Liu Bei was playing with the sound system, all four miles along the river were soldiers ready to go, carrying ammunition bags, and at the end there were soldiers standing in line in front of the gangway of the troop transport with explosion-proof shields in their hands.

Seeing the uniform army, the generals couldn't help but admire it. Such an army, even without those rifles, they felt was enough to piss Sun Quan off.

"Hello? Hello! Uh-huh."

Liu Bei patted the microphone and listened to the sound from several integrated speakers, which was so loud that it was deafening. He began to speak with satisfaction.

"...

My lords, the time has come for you to make great achievements! I, the great Han Dynasty, established a country with military force and made nobility with my military exploits.

I declare that if you kill one person, you will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins, and you will be promoted to one rank. If you kill ten people, you will be rewarded with ten thousand gold coins, and you will be granted a title. If you kill a hundred people, you will be rewarded with a million gold coins, and you will be granted the title of Marquis!

All gentlemen! Follow me to regain the world, revive the Han Dynasty, and restore peace to the world!"

"Recover the world! Your Majesty will live forever!"

As soon as the reward came out, all the soldiers were excited.

"I have one more thing to say. During this expedition, everyone must not disturb the people or plunder! Attack the city cleanly and leave cleanly.

Anyone who robs, commits adultery, or burns and kills the people in the city after attacking the city will be killed without mercy!

Anyone whose wealth increases after attacking the city, regardless of official position, will be killed!

Are the generals listening to orders?"

"promise!"

The uniform shouts of the soldiers made Liu Bei nod with satisfaction. As long as he didn't massacre the city, after he attacked Jingzhou next time, other cities would be easy to open.

"Gentlemen! I will take you home!"

In this battle, you have rifles that can ignore iron armor, and rocket launchers that can attack cities. You use the weapons in your hands to kill all the enemies facing you!

Our Han army will be victorious in every battle!"

"Go home! Be victorious in every battle!"

After the encouragement, the soldiers' mental state was obviously better, and they began to line up and board the ships. This time, there were a total of forty troop transport ships and twenty material and grain transport ships for this expedition.

Twenty-four of the troop transport ships carried 500 adapted troops each, 500 rifles, 50 rocket launchers, and 100 rockets.

Each soldier was also equipped with two grenades, which they just had to blast along the way. Each of the remaining sixteen ships was fully equipped with 700 men, so they could only squeeze in.

A quarter of an hour later, the ships began to sound their whistles one after another, and the motors on the ship were officially turned on. The oil barrels brought on board were also added in an orderly manner, but Liu Bei was still in the open space and did not board his flagship.

This battle is naturally left to Zhang Fei and the others, so Liu Bei is responsible for following at the end and watching them fight.

And when he left in the end, he was waiting for another person.

As a sound came from the sky, the soldiers on the ship couldn't help but look into the sky.

In the sky along the river, a helicopter pilot trained by Chen Ye was flying quickly towards Baidi City in a helicopter. This scene appeared in the eyes of the soldiers, adding to the already warm atmosphere.

"Emperor of the Sky! Heavenly Army! Heavenly Army!"

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years, your Majesty, ten thousand years!"

Amid cheers, the helicopter in the sky slowly descended to the open space by the river where they had gathered earlier. Just when all the soldiers thought it was over, sixty more rotorcraft flew densely from behind.

There are also ten speedboats following along the river. They are escorts along the river. If the rotorcraft loses control, the crew can be brought in time.

This sight of soldiers flying all over the sky is no different from seeing fighter planes flying all over the sky in later generations, and the blood in the hearts of all soldiers is boiling.

The whistle sounded again, and as the oars turned, the boat, loaded with more than 20,000 soldiers, began to sail down the river.

In the air, under the skillful control of the pilot, the Y-8 helicopter landed smoothly on the ground, not acting like a rookie who had just learned how to helicopter for a week.

In fact, ascending and descending are what these pilots are best at. At the training ground in Bodao, they only have one task every day: ascend, fly for a few minutes, descend, ascend and descend again.

Liu Bei ignored the noise and happily watched the helicopter taking off and landing smoothly, his eyes shining brightly.

The helicopter is flying and can fly so far, which also means that his plan to make a fortune can start soon and he can pay off his debts immediately.

After Chen Ye stepped off the helicopter, the rotorcraft gradually landed from the sky. Finally, a Z-8 transport plane and sixty rotorcraft were parked in the flat area four miles along the river.

The rotorcraft soldiers who disembarked quickly lined up and began to rest. Then one hundred and twenty soldiers carrying rocket launchers came and handed the rocket launchers to the rotorcraft soldiers who had overcome their fear of heights.

"Old Liu, you're just taking command from the air, right? Why are you doing this by boat?"

"This is good, this is good!"

When Liu Bei heard Chen Ye's words, his eyes suddenly lit up. Indeed, how could a flagship ship have the majesty of commanding from the air?

Liu Bei got into the spacious rear cabin of the Z-8 with a solemn expression, which made the pilots flying the Z-8 a little nervous, not to mention Chen who was sitting in the cabin.

After the helicopter took off again, it began to fly along the river. Behind it were fully fueled rotorcraft flying in an irregular formation, like a hen with a group of chicks.

Wu County.

Li Yi, with dark circles under his eyes, sat beside the bed at the top of the city, looking at the river three miles away, confused.

He thought he was familiar with military science, so yesterday he predicted that Liu Bei would attack them one day in advance, so he ordered them to prepare defenses overnight, while he slept and waited.

As a result, after waiting for a day, there was no movement at all in Baidi City. The battle had not yet started, and all the soldiers in Wu County could not hold on and fell asleep.

At night, although the detection ship he sent out was intercepted and driven back, it also brought back news that Liu Bei's army was actually resting.

This made him feel that the war should be coming soon, and it must be a night attack. After all, Liu Bei's small boats all have those kind of headlights, how can the big ships not have them?

As a result, Liu Bei still didn't come, which made Li Yi, who was preparing to fight a good blocking battle and then surrender to get preferential treatment, feel pain in his balls.

"Liu Bei, don't you use the art of war? I also said..."

Before he finished talking to himself, Li Yi heard a whistle, and then he could see it from the top of the city, and the shadow of a large ship loomed in the direction of Baidi City.

"Enemy attack!!!"

"The Shu army is coming! The Shu army is coming!"

In front of the troop transport, there were still a few speedboats exploring the path as usual, but they had been covered with a layer of iron to prevent bows and arrows from shooting.

The speedboat was not big, and apart from its high speed, it could not intimidate the Wu army guards on the riverside.

But the three-story troop carrier at the back has anti-explosion shields all over the hull, which can prevent bow and arrow attacks. Of course, catapults are not counted. That thing is a powerful physical attack.
To be continued...
