Chapter 571 Bombarding the Iron Chain! (Persisted in writing a chapter)
Sitting on the boat, the players were all excited.
This is the first time for players to fight across the sea. Whether it is Yuchixin who is commanding the battle or the most ordinary general players, they all look at the shore excitedly.
At this time, the trumpet was blown in Yuguan, and neat soldiers came out from the city gate of Yuguan. Cai Wenjing looked at his elite men on horseback, and his mood was even more heroic.
These are all the elites he brought out with his own hands, and now a ferocious tiger is about to go up the mountain and kill Wang Xuanzhi, a sick dog!
Cai Wenjing raised the military flag and led the troops northward, quickly disappearing into the vast snowfield.
Wu Dayong is an internal guard player. After the player decided on the great detour strategy, Wu Dayong went south after arriving at Tongliao City and tried his best to sneak into the Yuguan defenders.
The clever Wu Dayong quickly rose to the position of team leader in the army.
This time Cai Wenjing led his troops on an expedition, and Wu Dayong immediately conveyed the news to Yuchixin.
Wu Dayong followed Cai Wenjing's large army and left Yuguan to go north to the snowy plains.
The two thousand defenders left in Yuguan were led by Cai Wenjing's younger brother Cai Wenbin. His duty was to guard Yuguan and wait for Shi Chaoyi's army.
Cai Wenbin did not take his brother's instructions to heart at all. Instead, he complained that his brother would not let him go north together, which deprived him and his generals of opportunities to make contributions.
What can happen at Yuguan? To the north are eight thousand elites led by Cai Wenjing, and to the south are twenty thousand Fan Yang troops led by Shi Chaoyi. They are our own armies from the south to the north. Where else can the enemy come from? Can they fly down from the sky?
After his brother left, Cai Wenbin and his generals spent the whole day drinking and having fun in the garrison, and even stopped inspecting the city walls.
In fact, it was not just Cai Wenbin, most of the soldiers who stayed had this reaction.
Going north to fight is an opportunity to earn military merits, and as usual, Yingzhou, the home base of the Pinglu Army that is being attacked, can be burned, looted, and looted. This is a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds and make a fortune.
Moreover, Pinglu's army was weak, and Wang Xuanzhi rebelled and rose to power. Cai Wenjing's eight thousand elite troops could easily defeat Pinglu.
The remaining soldiers were very resentful, and the general became lazy again, so naturally he had no intention of defending the city.
Early the next morning, a small group of soldiers was patrolling the low wall near the sea.
"Commander, what is there to patrol here? The general is heading north, and the young marshal will enter Yuguan in a few days. Can this enemy still fall from the sky?"
The one who spoke was a ruffian Bingyouzi. The team was just patting Bingyouzi on the head and said: "You can patrol as long as you are told. When the patrol is over, you can go back!"
Bingyouzi said with a playful smile: "Captain, we have made an appointment with the team next door to play today. Team King next door is clamoring to win back everything you won yesterday!"
"Just him? Look, I killed him today and all his pants are gone!"
The team completed the patrol with a smile on their face. Just as they were preparing to descend the city wall, the team suddenly stopped.
Everyone looked at Du Zheng in confusion. Du Zheng looked at the sea with horrified eyes. His soldiers also followed Du Zheng's gaze and saw a large number of ships on the rippling blue sea in the distance!
"Enemy, enemy attack!" the team was shouting as they rushed down the city wall and rushed towards the garrison in the center of Yuguan.
Yu Chixin, who was sitting on the flagship, was observing the city wall of Yuguan with a telescope.
There is only a small beach on the sea side of Yuguan, and a not-so-high city wall was built along the beach.
This is not high compared to the city walls on the north and south sides. Even this wall, which is not high, is stronger than the walls of ordinary fortresses.
The designer also considered the possibility of attacking from the sea, so a blockade net was stretched across the entire bay with iron cables. Ordinary large ships approaching would be stopped by the iron cables.
In the eyes of people at the time, Yuguan's defenses near the sea were already very strong.
However, from the perspective of players who own artillery, this is full of loopholes.
"Can you break the iron chain?"
Zhang Guangde used a telescope to measure the impact point of the cannonball, and said with confidence: "It's nothing!"
"Adjust the position of the hull and aim my big baby at the mountain!"
Yu Chixin knew that his old friend was very energetic when it came to cannons. The sailors began to adjust the direction of the ship and aimed at the iron cable nodes on the cliff.
Just as the player was adjusting the ship, a drunken Cai Wenbin finally climbed onto the city wall.
Looking at the flagship that was adjusting its direction, Cai Wenbin smiled and said to the men around him: "Yuguan is a natural barrier, and they can't get through this iron chain across the sea!"
However, Cai Wenbin had sobered up for the most part, and he was also thinking about where these fleets came from.
Pinglu Town? They don’t have a fleet.
Seeing the shape of this fleet, is it the Bohai Kingdom?
At this time, Cai Wenbin felt relieved. If the Bohai Kingdom wanted to fish in troubled waters, it would not be afraid.
How can the mere Bohai Kingdom fight against Fan Yang's elite? As long as he defends Yuguan, when the reinforcements from the young marshal arrive, the Bohai Kingdom will naturally retreat!
When he thought of this, Cai Wenbin became even more angry, and secretly made up his mind to go north to teach Bohai a lesson after he conquered Pinglu!
boom!
The test-fired solid artillery shell fell on the cliff, and the huge sound of the gun echoed on the sea. Cai Wenbin was so frightened by the loud noise that he almost sat on the ground.
Zhang Guangde used a telescope to observe the impact point of the artillery shell. After adjusting the angle again, he replaced it with the latest grenade developed by Longyou.
"My Italian cannon, shoot for me!"
Zhang Guangde shouted, the gunner lit the fuse, and the shell filled with gunpowder flew out from the muzzle, showing a parabola and landing on the iron cable node embedded in the cliff.
Watching the battle on the flagship, Da Honglin, the crown prince of the Balhae Kingdom, Gao Yangbi, the governor of the Balhae Kingdom, and An Shougui, the son of the governor of North Silla Province who had been captured by the Tang army, saw a ball of fire exploding on the cliff, followed by a terrifying loud noise.
There was a loud noise, and a piece of the cliff was forcibly knocked down!
The iron rope embedded in the cliff also fell into the water, and the players cheered: "Lao Zhang's shot is accurate!"
"One shot into the soul!"
Cai Wenbin watched blankly as the iron rope fell into the sea. What kind of weapon was that just now? Sky thunder?
The deputy general beside him quickly shook him awake and said: "General! The fleet has arrived!"
Only then did Cai Wenbin react and quickly said to his men: "Assemble! All the defenders come to this city wall to assemble!"
On the flagship, Bohai Crown Prince Da Honglin and Bohai Governor Gao Yangbi looked at each other, and both saw fear in each other's eyes.
What kind of city could the Tang army defend with such weapons? Fortunately, I reported it in time!
An Shougui had seen the power of cannons before, but he was still shocked when he saw them again. He didn't expect that cannons could be used on ships!
He was even more determined to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. What kind of city couldn't be blasted with such powerful ships and cannons? The navy that Silla was so proud of was like a paper lake in front of the gunboats!
"Go forward! Prepare to land!" Standing on the flagship, Yu Chixin finally gave the order for the general attack!
