The sound of "dong dong dong" military drums made people's blood boil. The Xuanwu war flags of the Li Dynasty sounded, but they were covered up by the shouts of killing.
The huge warships and ships of the Li Dynasty navy were coming upstream at this moment, reflecting a large shadow on the river. The Yun army officers and soldiers on both sides of the river who were responsible for the delay had to look up to see the whole picture clearly.
On the boat on the shore, arrows from both sides kept intersecting, and from time to time there were screams from soldiers on both sides who were hit by arrows.
Hidden by the river, the Yun Guo boats responsible for igniting the warships immediately swarmed out and rushed towards the Li Chao Navy warship. But before they got close to the Li Chao Navy warship, the shooting pole on the Li Chao Navy ship fell hard.
The racket stick fell and hit the Yun Army's boat with a "bang". In an instant, the boat was broken into pieces. The military masters on the boat were also swept into the river, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.
The river was turbulent, and the kerosene in the ship floated on the river surface, igniting the rocket, and ignited a fire on the river surface. But these sporadic flames obviously could no longer ignite the warships of the Le Dynasty Navy!
At this time, the navy of the Li Dynasty, in order to break through the Nanpanjiang waterway and enter the Yongjiang River as soon as possible, blockaded Shicheng County and the four states. At this time, they ignored the Yun army's delaying strategy. If there were food and troop transport ships, they would be set on fire by the Yun army.
, immediately gave up and evacuated without any hesitation.
Since the Li Dynasty navy could endure such losses, Yun's army, which had no navy to contend with, naturally had no means of delay.
Seeing that dozens of miles ahead, they could turn into the gentle Yong River. Yang Dayan and Xu Shu, no longer caring about the losses, summoned their soldiers and attacked the Li Dynasty warship regardless of casualties, trying desperately to block it.
.
Yang Dayan led a group of soldiers straight to the riverside and said to Xu Shu, who had a heavy face:
"The Li Dynasty navy is only ten miles away from here. It will be here in an instant. How long will it take you?"
Xu Shu looked at the extremely complicated iron cables that were densely packed and intertwined with each other on the river surface. He frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Thanks to the help of several Mohist disciples here, it took a month to build eight thick iron chains that were enough to block the river. However, with the help of the fate of the country, the navy of the Li Dynasty had already gathered the vision of the army, and it was no longer a simple matter.
Locking the iron chain across the river can stop it! I wanted to set up a formation to resist, but now I still lack some arrangements..."
Seeing that Li Chao's navy was about to arrive, Yang Dayan's eyes widened and he said loudly:
"Still worse? The incident happened in a hurry. Most of my general's men are soldiers from nearby counties. They are not as good as the imperial army. The border troops are so brave that they may not be able to hold on now."
As Yang Dayan said, the local garrison of the Yun Army is not elite. Their armor, training, and morale are not as good as those of the border army and the Forbidden Army. Now that they can grit their teeth and desperately stop the Li Dynasty navy despite heavy casualties, they have already used all their strength.
of!
But even so, it did not stop much. Seeing the Yong River approaching, the Li Dynasty navy advanced at full speed. At this time, it was still getting closer and closer, and the formation became more and more clear.
Yang Dayan was so anxious that he turned around and saw soldiers carrying a small boat on the river, carefully and slowly weaving between the crisscrossing iron cables. He could no longer sit still.
Without saying a word, Yang Dayan immediately took off his armor and cloak and said:
"This is too slow! Tell me quickly, if there is anything left to arrange, I will do it myself!"
Looking at Yang Dayan who took off his armor and rolled up his sleeves, Xu Shu's eyes lit up slightly as he was originally anxious.
I had forgotten that the ninth-level cultivation of this plain barbarian general was obviously able to help!
Xu Shu quickly pulled Yang Dayan, pointed to the thick iron chains placed by the river, and said:
"General, there are very few ninth-level masters in the world. You can give it a try. General, please send this iron chain to the scene gate in the formation..."
Yang Dayan didn't hesitate, walked straight over there, picked up the heavy iron chain, and was about to take a step when he was suddenly stunned and interrupted:
"What kind of scene door? Where is the door?"
When Xu Shu heard this, he was immediately speechless.
He was used to communicating with Zhuge Liang, and he never needed to explain too much about the formation and position terms. He had forgotten that the plain barbarian general in front of him could not even read a few Chinese characters, let alone know the terminology of Qimen Dunjia.
Xu Shu quickly explained:
"To the southeast of the general, about eighty paces away, where there is a water channel, is Jingmen!"
Hearing the words, Yang Dayan took a deep breath to mobilize the strength in his body, exerted all his strength, his face turned red, and the veins on his arms carrying the thick iron chains were exposed, and he roared word by word:
"Morning, tell me, ah!"
A "heavy" sound was heard suddenly, and the huge iron rope specially built to block the river was thrown out by Yang Dayan, and it flew out immediately.
When the iron chains rose into the air, the clanging sound of collision resounded across the river.
Yang Dayan roared, stepped down, and his figure suddenly turned into a shadow. In an almost undetectable moment, Yang Dayan's figure appeared several feet away, and his right hand was already holding the end of the chain.
He trembled slightly, the iron chain swayed, and then it was tightly wrapped around the Jingmen formation in the formation.
Yang Dayan held the iron rope, suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Shu, and shouted:
"Is this enough?"
Xu Shu said quickly:
"Of course not! General, please do as you just did and go one hundred and thirty steps due east of you at this moment."
When Yang Dayan heard this, he immediately shouted loudly and the iron rope flew out of his hand.
"Turn north, two hundred and seventy steps!"
"Due west, three hundred and twenty steps!"
"..."
With the help of several Mohist disciples, he recruited 300 civilians and redeemed 30% of the ironware from several nearby cities. It took a month to melt and cast it. It was huge enough to block the entire Nanpanjiang River and the iron cables were not heavy.
Thousand catties?
Despite Yang Dayan's fierce martial arts and his cultivation as a ninth-level master, after helping Xu Shu set up the formation, he was still panting and unable to continue.
Yang Dayan did not care about maintaining the dignity of the general, and lay on the iron rope with some strength. He looked at the rolling river water below, and then looked at the mighty Li Dynasty navy coming less than three or five miles away. He swallowed.
Saliva, loudly said:
"Have you ever recovered?"
Standing by the river, Xu Shu looked at the complicated chain formations in front of him and couldn't help but laugh loudly and said:
"That's enough, General, please come back quickly!"
Hearing this, Yang Dayan waited for his breath to calm down a little, then stood up suddenly and landed on the shore in the blink of an eye.
He swayed, pushed away the support of a group of soldiers, pointed at the approaching mighty Li Dynasty navy, and couldn't help but said sternly to Xu Shu:
"Xu Canjun, I know that you and Zhuge Canjun are both capable people, and I have personally hired officers for you. Now I believe in you even more, and even entrusted the whole army to you. Can you stop the Li Chao navy for your majesty this time?"
, it depends on your ability to save Yongzhou from the crisis!"
Xu Shu looked calm and composed. After hearing this, he solemnly said:
"General, please wait and see!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shu showed a serious look that was rarely seen on weekdays, and his aura suddenly became extremely solid.
Gu Che
As soon as his heart moved, the majestic power of his spirit immediately connected the energy of heaven and earth, and they immediately responded to each other.
Then there was a milky white light visible to the naked eye, emerging above his head and rushing towards the river surface.
The dense iron cables above the river suddenly underwent mysterious changes.
Among the criss-crossing and complicated iron cables, a momentum surged.
The robe on Xu Shu's body was not moving in the wind at this time, his body was straight, and the mysterious energy of heaven and earth continued to overflow from his body.
I saw him stroking his hands and shouting softly:
"Eight-door Golden Lock Formation, rise!"
With a slight shout, the Qi Men Dun Jia technique was immediately activated.
Golden light visible to the naked eye overflowed and filled the sights of the soldiers on both sides.
The turbulent water above the river suddenly stopped under the suppression of the mysterious power of the formation. Even though the undercurrent was still turbulent under the river, there were no waves on it.
In the formation constructed by the iron ropes, Kai, Xiu, Sheng, Hua, Du, Jing, Death, and Jing all responded and revealed strange phenomena.
The eight gates echo each other, and their majestic power is integrated into one, locking across the river.
The soldiers of both armies, whose eyes were dazzled by the golden light, when they opened their eyes again, their hearts were shaken, and their faces showed shock, panic and panic.
In the sky, a huge figure suddenly broke into everyone's sight.
Turtle and snake disk, Xuanwu phenomena with mysterious patterns on the carapace float above the heads of the Li Dynasty naval army. When the four legs are waved, the mysterious energy moves with it. Although the body shape is slightly illusory, it is also It fully displays the appearance of mythical beasts and makes people feel frightened.
The soldiers of the Xia Kingdom and the soldiers of the Li Army had naturally never seen the phenomenon of this large army manifesting before. However, except for a few special units in the Yun Army, they had also never seen the phenomenon of this large army manifesting.
The Xia army would be demoralized and lose most of its combat power due to the manifestation of the Yun army's strange phenomenon. The same thing would happen to the Yun army as well.
If we put it in the past, now on both sides of the strait, those county soldiers who had been separated from the battle line for a long time would probably be defeated and flee immediately when they saw the Xuanwu phenomenon of the Li Dynasty Navy.
But at this time, although these Yun State local county soldiers were shocked, they did not show much fear.
Then they saw the golden light condensed on the basalt vision manifested by the Li Dynasty Navy, turning into eight chains, tightly locking the basalt vision. No matter how hard the vision struggled, it could not move.
At the same time, the Li Dynasty navy, which was originally going upstream but was traveling at an extremely fast speed, suddenly stopped in its tracks and stopped in the river unable to move.
Yang Dayan stood on the shore with his eyes wide open. After being stunned for a long time, he finally laughed twice, hugged Xu Shu beside him, and laughed loudly:
"Hahaha, what a skill, what a skill! Xu Canjun, I really saw you right! General, I am so happy today!"
At this time, Yang Dayan looked at the Li Dynasty Navy who was blocked in the river, and his heart was filled with ecstasy.
With only the more than a thousand elite soldiers mobilized and the local garrisons from surrounding counties and counties, they were able to miraculously block the mighty and unstoppable Li Dynasty navy.
With such merit, how could His Majesty not reward him with an official promotion? Who among the people in the court today just looked down upon him? Yang Dayan was illiterate. It was only because of His Majesty's trust and his relationship with Empress Zhaoyi in the palace that he was where he is today.
status?
Xu Shu was hugged by Yang Dayan, who was dripping with sweat and smelly body, and subconsciously resisted.
He quickly and calmly broke free from Yang Dayan's arm, resisted the urge to take a few steps back, and said;
"You are happy too early!"
"?"
Yang Da looked at Xu Shu and was slightly startled.
Xu Shu pointed to the river and said seriously:
"General, don't be too happy too early. Because the navy in our hands is weak and cannot compete with the navy of Li Dynasty. Therefore, for the eight-door golden lock formation, I can only use Kong Ming's method of using dead objects to replace it."
Zhuge Liang used dead objects to form an array in his courtyard, which obviously gave Xu Shu some inspiration.
That is to say, he deeply understands the mystery of this formation, and not just learned the formation and formation. Only then can he be able to temporarily inspire and set up this formation with iron ropes across the river.
Xu Shu paused and then said:
"The formation of dead objects is naturally not as varied as the formation of soldiers. There is also a lack of dragon formation eyes in the formation, and the power of this formation is lost by 70%. If the estimate is correct, this formation can at most block Li Chaoshui.
How many days will the teacher..."
Hearing this, Yang Dayan's face was full of disbelief and said:
"I think this Li Dynasty navy is suppressed to death..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint "crunching" sound suddenly sounded.
Suddenly, the cheers of the Li army and the panic of the Yun army were heard at the same time.
This change made Yang Dayan's heart skip a beat, and he quickly looked up.
Then they saw that in the sky, the Xuanwu shadow was struggling continuously, and one of the eight golden chains wrapped around its body had already been broken free!
An iron cable criss-crossed the river surface, and many cracked lines appeared on it. It had not broken, but it was only barely able to hold it together.
Yang Dayan's eyes widened again, and he couldn't help but cursed:
"Damn it, just one of them is broken? It doesn't look like it can survive a few days!"
Xu Shu did not care, but smiled and explained:
"The Li army came north this time, and there was no obstacle along the way. The army was united and determined, and it has developed a strong military force. It came with the trend, and it was not easy to block it. Two or three iron ropes collapsed.
As expected, only one branch was broken, which is considered a good thing. The Li Dynasty navy was blocked here, and its military strength was stagnant and then exhausted, so it will be easier to deal with later."
When Yang Dayan heard this, he couldn't help but continue to ask:
"What happens after a few days? How about another deployment?"
Hearing this, Xu Shu chuckled and shook his head, saying:
"General, there is no need to worry. I think the arrangements for Kong Ming will be completed in a few days!"
Yang Dayan felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he also thought that the abilities of the two of them were really powerful. He felt cruel and immediately stopped hesitating and gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, I'll leave this to you! My general has mobilized 10,000 elite troops and will be here soon. By then, we will have to repair the water fortress along the way and do our best to stop it!"
When Xu Shu heard this, he was not worried at all and said with a smile:
