"You..." No matter how cunning Ren Yang Shang was, he had no way to deal with Li Yan's scoundrel methods. His face changed a few times, and finally he said with a depressed look on his face: "Your Highness, you can give it to you, but I will only give it to three thousand people at most. In addition, you must also promise me that when you see something is wrong, you must withdraw it immediately!"

"Haha~, no problem, don't worry, even if I die, I will die behind you, and I will never let my father blame you!" Li Yan agreed without saying a word. Three thousand is only three thousand, and he said five thousand casually. As for how many enemies are there? How many people do you have to use to block the other party? Li Yan doesn't know all these. Anyway, if you take one step at a time, even if you can't stop the other party from getting ashore, you can kill one more enemy and then you can reduce the pressure when defending the city.

When Yang Shang heard Li Yan's unreliable answer, he smiled bitterly, but his movements were very fast, and he quickly mobilized 3,000 people. According to Li Yan's request, these 3,000 people were all cavalrymen, plus 300 guards of the royal palace, a total of 3,300 people.

Li Yan looked at the three thousand soldiers in front of him, and a rare perseverance appeared on his face, and shouted loudly: "Tiger Sima!"

"The last one is here!" As Aunt Hu, who came with him, immediately clasped his fists and left the line. Li Yan was about to go to the battlefield, and Aunt Hu, who temporarily took over Sima's position, naturally had to follow him. With her by Li Yan's side, Wen Xin was relieved of his husband's safety.

"I will hand over these three thousand people with the escorts of the royal palace to you to command. After leaving the city, everything will be followed by my arrangements!" Li Yan ordered sternly.

"I will obey the order!" Aunt Hu bowed her fists and said.

With Li Yan's order, all the soldiers turned over and horses. Then Li Yan was the first to ride a horse out of the city gate, and three thousand cavalrymen followed closely behind him. The people and horses were like dragons, and the target was aimed directly at the dock directly north of Dengzhou.

The naval battle outside Dengzhou City has also entered a white-hot class. As soon as the Dengzhou naval army led by Liu Ju contacted the other party, a collision of blood and fire immediately occurred. As soon as the warships on both sides entered the range of the crossbow. The unique "buzzing" sound of the crossbow on the tower ship was endless. Every time a sound was heard, a spear-like crossbow arrow was shot out. The destructive power brought by these huge crossbows was extremely amazing. Almost even thick shipboards could penetrate. If they were unfortunately shot on people, they could only wish him happiness in the next life.

Although the giant crossbow is amazing, it is just a point strike weapon after all, and the damage caused to the warship is limited. Therefore, although both sides caused certain casualties, this is just a prelude to the beginning of the war.

When both sides' warships increased their speed to the fastest, they then collided hard together. At the same time, the pole that had already been erected also hit the bow of the other party with a tremendous force. For a moment, the wooden boards and flesh flew together, and the sea water was bloody.

Then the tall and heavy tower of the tower ship played a role. The archers on the ship stood on the heavy tower and lay on the female wall to shoot arrows at the other side. This was a clear advantage in the Dengzhou navy. Because the Tang Dynasty had advanced shipbuilding technology and the ships were much taller than the other side, they shot down from a high point, which naturally had the upper hand. For a time, the soldiers on the Goguryeo ship were shot one after another and had to raise their shields to protect themselves.

"Jump!" Seeing that the bow and arrow did not work, the generals on the Tang army warship ordered one after another, and the soldiers who had already prepared to jump into light armor, raised their shields and jumped from the side of the ship. They jumped onto the other ship like monkeys, waving their long swords to kill the soldiers on the other ship. Although the Goguryeo soldiers also fought desperately, there were bows and arrows on their heads suppressed them, so they could not block their heads, so countless casualties were killed or injured in a short time.

Liu Ju sat on his commander ship. He issued orders from time to time, while the commanders on the ship waved the flag and notified the ships of Liu Ju's orders in order to coordinate the battle. At the same time, the commanders also fought fiercely with the warships of Goguryeo, but these were naturally commanded by other commanders, so Liu Ju didn't need to be distracted by this.

As the command core of the entire Dengzhou naval army, the ship he was riding was naturally extraordinary. This warship was newly built by the Dengzhou military shipyard. It is not only much taller than ordinary building ships, but also absorbs many advantages in the design of the lucky ship, such as changing from flat bottom to sharp bottom, and the head and tail are raised high, and the bow is also equipped with iron collision angles.

This ship was personally named "Dengzhou" by Li Yan. If it is a troop transport ship, it can take more than 3,000 soldiers, but during the battle, only one thousand soldiers is enough. After all, the space on the ship is limited, and if there are too many people, it cannot be used at all. Moreover, the Dengzhou ship is mainly powered by sails, which reduces the number of oarsmen and greatly increases the number of people who can participate in the battle.

Because of the unique design of the Dengzhou, its combat method is different from other ships. It completely raised the sails on the ship from the beginning, raising the wind to maximize the speed, and then hit a fiercely thrust into an opponent's building. The long iron tentacles were inserted into the opponent's heavy building, and the huge inertia pushed the opponent backwards. At this time, the high-rise bow took effect, and with the forward force, the opponent's ship was pressed down, and soon pressed the opponent's deck into the water.

At the same time, the archers on the Dengzhou Chonglou also began to shoot downward desperately. The soldiers on the other side could not stand up because the ship was tilted and shaking too hard, let alone blocked with shields, and were shot to death on the deck.

It can be said that as soon as they came into contact, the Dengzhou navy caused huge casualties to the other party, but this was just the beginning. When the warships collided together, the ship's inertia advantage was exhausted, and the Goguryeo ships that were hit were seriously injured and injured. However, other Goguryeo warships also came up at this time. Two or three tower ships worked together to siege one of the Dengzhou navy's ships, and the soldiers on the ship began to fight desperately with the ships as platforms.

Liu Qiao focused on the overall situation on the battlefield. Although there were fewer ships on the side, they caused a lot of casualties to the other party at the beginning. Therefore, they are now on par with equal strength, especially the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, who were brave and brave, and they formed a small group with three or five, and they cooperated very well. Although the other party performed well and had a large number of people, Liu Qiao was confident that even if she could not win this battle, she could at least tie it.

However, Liu Ju did not show any ease in this situation, but instead showed an anxious look, because after the warships in front of the other side entangled them, the troop transport ship behind had already bypassed the battlefield and began to rush towards the dock, and was about to prepare to land. Judging from the size of the troop transport ship, there were at least 30,000 to 40,000 people, while Dengzhou had only 10,000 defenders, and His Highness the King of Qi was also in the city. If the city was broken, it would be a huge blow to the Tang Dynasty!

But now all the warships in his hands were entangled, and even the smaller Meng Chong could not be separated, so there was no question of blocking them. Therefore, he could only watch the other party's ships rushed to the port. However, the waterways at the port had already been put down and the ropes were cut off. It would be impossible for the ship to clear out for a while, and it was even more impossible for the ship to enter.

However, there was a gentle beach on the right side of the port, so under the command of the general, the transport ship began to turn to the beach, and then put down the boat, which was filled with Goguryeo soldiers and rowed the water to start landing. In a short while, many Goguryeo soldiers gathered on the beach, and the boats were still constantly traveling between the big ships on the beach, and hundreds of soldiers were transported each time. It is estimated that at most another hour, all soldiers could complete the landing.

"Hurry! Hurry up!" On the troop transport ship, Yuan Jingtu, wearing armor, urged loudly with excitement. Although they encountered a patrol fleet of Tang troops when they came to Dengzhou, they were quickly wiped out by them and arrived in Dengzhou on time. Now it was about to be dark. They had to complete the landing before dark, and then attack Dengzhou overnight, trying to capture King Li Yan of Qi alive before reinforcements from other surrounding states arrived.

As for the navy, Yuan Jingtu was not worried. General Yue was their famous naval general in Goguryeo. Even if he couldn't win, there was no problem with the draw. After they got ashore, they could attack the navy camp from the shore. At that time, under the attack between water and land, even if the Dengzhou navy was strong, it would probably be difficult to escape.

"Report to the general, there are already five thousand infantrymen on the shore. The last general is willing to take them as vanguards and clear the obstacles to advance for the army!" A young general asked for advice impatiently. The general had agreed that as long as he conquered Dengzhou City, there would be no military discipline for three days. They had long heard that Dengzhou was extremely rich, so they had been impatient for a long time.

"Okay, I am the vanguard. After arriving in Dengzhou, you block the city gate and do not let anyone go!" Yuan Jingtu also ordered with an excited look on his face. Seeing that his plan was about to succeed, the only thing I worry about now is that the King of Qi was too timid and escaped from Dengzhou in advance. If that was the case, he could only try his best to destroy Dengzhou thoroughly and turn the rear of the Southern Road Army of the Tang Dynasty into a pile of rubble. The young Goguryeo General took the command arrow and immediately jumped onto the boat excitedly, preparing to arrive on the shore and make the first contribution of the battle of Dengzhou.

However, just as the young generals arrived on the shore, they had not yet arrived to purify the troops. They heard a sound of horse hooves like thunder from the dock in the distance, which sounded as many as thousands of cavalry. Before the Goguryeo soldiers on the beach could react, a team of murderous cavalry had rushed over from the dock.

The team of cavalry was led by a young man in gorgeous armor, followed by an extremely strong general. When the team of cavalry saw the Goguryeo soldiers on the beach, they immediately divided into two teams under the command of the powerful general, one on the left and one on the right.

At the same time, the young man in charge roared: "Long live the Tang Dynasty! Kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" When the two teams of cavalry heard the roar of the boy, they were all energetic. After three roars, the horse's hooves had already stepped onto the beach and were about to start a flesh-and-blood feast!
