Five hundred and fiftieth eight chapters so ferocious
March and 24th, the second year of Huangyou.
On this day, not only the Iron Front Army burned down Chanzhou, but since then it showed its tiger teeth.
The Liao navy also replaced more sharp weapons, which made Li Guangli confused.
It's not dawn.
More than a hundred Liao warships rushed into the mouth of the Lushui River.
They abandoned the usual trick of trenchers opening the circuit.
More than three hundred steps apart.
"Swish swish swish swish."
Countless heavy arrows flashing with fire were shot out.
Zhu Yuancheng, who had just been promoted from guerrilla officer to gangster general of Hekou, was surprised and could not speak for a long time.
What's going on?
How did the Tartars equipped the Iron Front Army's broken formation crossbow?
Boom boom boom boom!
More than a dozen warships in front of the formation exploded with flames.
wrong!
The range is wrong!
Iron Front Army Fighting is a cone-shaped sulphur bomb.
The Tartars shot heavy crossbow arrows, as if they were tied up with a bag of tinder oil?
The carrying capacity is not large, the fire surface is still affordable.
If Chen Lin was here, he would laugh.
He also thought about carrying bags of turmeric oil with heavy crossbow.
It can be shaky and seriously affects the shooting accuracy.
Even if the range is barely up to standard, the lethality is not good.
The key is, in this era, what is used to make turmeric oil bags?
Obviously the Tartars thought of the tanned soft sheepskin.
This thing is more expensive than a ceramic jar, and it can carry two or three pounds of oil to the fullest.
But for the Liao navy, it had a range of thirty steps more than the catapult.
That is technical bullying.
Can't beat the Iron Front Navy, and can't deal with other Great Zhou armies?
At present, Zhu Yuancheng's Hekou Navy Army has been bullied.
What should I do if I can’t fight?
"This kind of strange crossbow has little power!"
"Hurry up and put out the fire."
"Road forward along the water!"
"Approach!"
"Approach!"
Zhu Yuancheng is really trying his best.
After thirty or forty steps, he defeated twenty ships.
These surviving trenchers also burned turbulence bombs to the Liao warships.
Stalemate for two quarters of an hour.
The warships of the Great Zhou Dynasty were burned down one after another.
The surviving officers and soldiers dived and fled.
Twenty to seven.
The record is too different.
One hour later.
Zhu Yuancheng was the first to hold on.
There are more than 100 warships of all sizes, and only more than 40 are left.
He shone out all the arson ships and delayed the attack of the Liao army.
By the way, I accepted many surviving officers and soldiers who came back from the shore.
Fight and retreat.
Lushui River mouth, change hands!
However, the Liao army did not chase after it very far.
According to the agreement, they wanted to help Zhao Guiyi transport troops.
The next day, Li Guangli received news of Zhu Yuancheng's defeat.
A little overwhelmed.
At the same time, there were two other pieces of information on his desk.
One letter was sent by the Imperial City Secret spy.
Zhao Guiyi personally led an army of 300,000 and swore to the north, and had already left Zhending City.
The other one was sent by Yang Chengliang's troops and Huang Bingren.
Fast horses and express delivery can be much faster than sailing boats going up against the water.
The 150,000 bandits and horse soldiers were sent by the Liao people to the Lu River.
The Xiangzhou area was so scared that it was turbulent.
But this bandit army with the character "Lu" did not attack the city and camp in Xiangzhou. Instead, they went north along Lushui and entered Tang County.
It is close to Yang Chengliang's rear, Weishi and Mashi County.
Lu Dajiang must be this bastard.
Yang Chengliang's main force was in the east and south of the river, fighting with the Liao army.
He has drawn left-behind troops from his lair several times.
Now, those counties are so empty!
Li Guangli did not think that Zhao Guiyi sent one-third of his troops to help Yang Chengliang fight against Liao.
Maybe this guy will take over the nest.
Even, this may be a side troop who is directly inserted into the Tiecheng of Lushui.
If it is a bandit alone, what if they have an army of 450,000?
Li Guangli also had the confidence to fight a battle with the benefit of the navy.
But now, the Liao Tatars are involved.
There are also new weapons similar to the Iron Front Army's Breaking Crossbow?
Zhu Yuancheng fought hard, but most of the battle suffered, but few of the results were achieved.
This result made Li Guangli, who had never been afraid, feel a chill on his spine.
"Come!"
"Send a whistleboat, no, it's too slow to go against the current."
"Send a fast horse to go to the Wandering Beach to inform the Iron Front Army."
"The Liao navy and bandits both came to attack. Let's see how they deal with it?"
Li Chengdong was so anxious that he was sweating.
"Uncle, it won't work!"
"Isn't Uncle Chen Lin still on the northwest battlefield?"
"At the beginning of the month, their main navy forces took Huanglongjiang to Shaanxi Road."
"How many people and ships can you leave at home?"
"In my opinion, it would be a blessing to be able to defend the wandering beach."
Li Guangli took a breath.
Let him understand what my nephew said.
The Iron Front Army can't count on it for the time being.
"I have to send someone to inform you and go quickly."
"I can't say that we have to learn Yang Chengliang's original tricks."
"If you can't stop it, just stagnate. Fight for time, and drag it out for a day."
"Successfully, we can only insert wooden stakes in Qinshui River."
"Leave a channel first, and block it immediately when Yuan Cheng comes back."
"Abide by the order!"
Since that's the case, there is no need to let Zhu Yuancheng stand in front of him.
Most of his Hekou navy lost money, so why are you fighting?
"Successfully, you bring thirty warships to pick up Yuancheng."
"Remember, if you can't beat it, we have to admit defeat!"
"Don't waste your life with the Tartars."
"Abide by the order!"
It's not just Li Guangli's busy place.
Tangzhou also received an alarm from the Imperial City Department.
There are three groups of people gathered here.
The 60,000 horse and infantry army led by Zhuang Mingqi of Chanzhou.
Ten thousand cavalry and 20,000 village soldiers led by Chen Yi of Anding Prefecture.
The rest are the 50,000 troops of the Tangzhou prefect Zhu Wensheng.
In addition, he had 60,000 newly trained township troops guarding three counties relying on Qinshui.
These more than 100,000 people nominally respect Zhu Wensheng as the commander and Li Guangli as the deputy commander.
In fact, everyone is in charge of their own.
For example, Chen Yi's men have been stationed at the junction of Zhongxian and Tangzhou.
There are a large number of cement-poured fortresses and hamlets there for better defense.
Zhuang Mingqi's army lined up along Qinshui over a hundred miles.
Of course, he guarded the north shore and would only cross the river to support Zhu Wensheng if necessary.
And downstream of the north coast, there are also tens of thousands of cavalry of Li Guangli.
Zhu Wensheng's first order was to let the people of the other three counties retreat through Qinshui.
The order must be withdrawn within five days.
Otherwise, you will be at stake in life and death.
The weather is warmer.
As long as you stutter, you can't live in a bed in the open air.
Where can we hold so many people in the Fucheng and the remaining three county towns?
In five days, it is estimated that 80% of Zhao Guiyi's bandit army were infantrymen.
It’s not that fast to get from Zhending to the periphery of Tangzhou!
In Zhu Wensheng's view, Zhao Guiyi's main force was not as much as expected.
The combat effectiveness of the official army should also be stronger than that of the bandits.
"General Zhuang, General Chen, our army can gather 200,000."
"And Zhao Guiyi only has 300,000 rabies."
"The 150,000 bandits in Lu Dajiang must go to fight the Lushui Tiecheng."
"We have the conditions for decisive victory in the field!"
Chen Yi lowered his head and played with the teacup, he was a little reluctant.
Isn't it good to rely on the city?
According to his and his father Chen Zhongxin's idea.
In front of him is Zhu Wensheng's 110,000 army to defend the city, so let's waste it slowly!
