Four hundred and thirtieth chapters defeat has been accomplished
Xu Chu didn't realize it, but still pointed with interest to the more than ten large ships parked near the river on the right rear of the enemy's formation, and said: "These are Xuzhou warships. They must have been lent to Yuan Shu by Tao Qian. These ships are really well built."
Okay, it's really big. He can transport a lot of food, equipment, and soldiers at one time. There should be a large number of equipment for attacking camps and breaking down strongholds. Unfortunately, Xue Li doesn't know how to use soldiers. If he is not in a hurry to attack the city, he should first transport those
All the heavy-duty siege equipment has been transported down, which means that we will not be able to succeed so easily at this time and win so easily."
Li Ru kept squinting at Xu Chu's triumph like an idiot, and listened to Xu Chu's talk honestly. He thought to himself: "Lu Su, Lu Su, look at what kind of battle you are fighting.
I still have to serve Xu Chu, the God of Killing. I wonder if this God of Killing will get angry and kill me in a fit of rage if he finds out later that we used him to fool Wu Jing."
When Li Ru thought of this, he couldn't help but no longer dare to look at Xu Chu's fierce black face. He lowered his head and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He was about to steel himself and raised his head to praise Xu Chu.
"Why haven't I seen Xue Li for a long time? No, this guy is probably going to abandon his troops and escape by himself. Send the order and let the navy on the river intercept him."
As Xu Chu shouted, "Crack!" a firework immediately went up from the top of Moling City Tower. When the fireworks exploded into a dazzling curtain of light in the sky, more than a hundred boats drove out from under the cliffs near the river on the east and west sides of Moling.
There are ships of different shapes and sizes.
This is what Xu Chu calls the "Navy Army." When it comes to the Moling Navy, in fact, under the leadership of General Xu Chu, the Moling Garrison has never established a formal, full-time navy. There are only dozens of small sampans in the county government warehouse.
Xu Chu believes that all the battles he wants to fight can be solved on land, and he does not need a navy at all. The navy should be left to Jiang Qin, the "water thief". He is the "mountain king" and will accompany Cao Zhi in the future.
Why did those who made great contributions to the land of China in the Han Empire develop a naval army?
Li Ru has suggested to Xu Chu more than once that he should properly develop his navy in Yangzhou, where there are many rivers, and Moling, where he is currently located, which is also facing rivers on three sides. But how could our great killing god Xu Chu listen to such good advice?
I and Li Ru took a trip on the Yangtze River on the only boat with houses in Moling. In order to show the demeanor of a general, Xu Chu insisted on standing on the bow of the boat to experience the feeling of being blown by the wind. Unexpectedly, the boat pulled away from the dock.
, Xu Chu felt that he could not stand still, and he was so frightened that he yelled and cursed. Li Ru kept using his experience to tell him that it would be fine in a while. But Xu Chu was still nervous. The more nervous he was, the more he was afraid of facing it.
Such strange things.
Xu Chu and Li Ru made a short circle on the calm river before they became seasick. When the boat docked, they were vomiting like soft-legged shrimps and scolded Li Ru for lying to him.
Li Ru had experienced the baptism of wind and waves. Based on his experience, he told Xu Chu that the average person would not get seasick more than three times, and he would be fine as long as he took a few more rides.
Xu Chu didn't believe anything he said. He insisted that there was something wrong with the water in the Yangtze River and the official ship of Moling County. He had also taken a bamboo raft in the Lujiang River, so why was everything fine?
Li Ru really couldn't laugh or cry. Can the bamboo raft and Chao Lake be compared with the river and the boathouse? But Xu Chu, a drought bandit, would not take a boat or go around the river even if he was beaten to death, let alone allow him to draw money from military expenses.
The warship is prepared.
Li Ru saw that the city defense equipment and the equipment developed for the army developed by Xu Chu were indeed urgently needed. Xu Chu was unwilling to develop a naval army for the time being, so forget it.
This time the navy was also temporarily recruited in the countryside to intercept the Yuan army invading from Guangling. Regardless of fishing boats, cruise ships, or ferries, a group of them were brought in, as long as they could accommodate soldiers. So at this time, from the cliffs on the east and west sides of Moling
The ships sailing out were large and small, broken and good, some had hundreds of soldiers standing on them, and some small sampans could only transport a few soldiers, and their forward speeds varied. Their goal was just
In order to prevent the invading enemy troops from escaping from the river, at this time, two medium-sized ships of Yuan Jun had indeed slowly sailed away from the landing place in an attempt to escape.
Xu Chu didn't know if there was Xue Li on board, but from observing the battle situation he knew that the time had come to dispatch the reserved thousand naval troops. Regarding the encirclement and annihilation in the wilderness below the city, he also issued an order for a full-scale attack at this time.
The war drums sounded again, and the northern city gate of Moling, facing the river bank, opened wide. Nearly a thousand cavalry rushed out of the city, led by Xu Chu himself, and came from the middle, followed by thousands of archers.
When Xu Chu ordered a head-on attack, the sound of killing came from both wings first, and the cavalry on the left and right began to launch a strong attack.
At one time, tens of thousands of people participated in the surprise attack at Moling, and the battle became extremely fierce. Corpses were scattered all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed. It was extremely cruel.
When the cavalry on both wings broke into the enemy's formation with thunderous momentum, Yuan's army immediately became panicked, and the chaos spread like a wave, affecting the entire situation.
Zhu Bin also knew something was wrong, so he beat drums and trumpets and ordered the whole army to continue to advance against the enemy, but it had already changed from active to passive. Now the Yuan army soldiers are fighting hard for their own lives, but there are more people
He was looking to the left, right, and behind for an escape route.
When Yuan's army was able to hold off the two wings of Cao's army under Zhu Bin's almost crazy orders, Xu Chu and a thousand troops rushed out like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, defeating Yuan's most powerful central army.
At this time, Yuan's army was defeated. Even if a modern military strategist traveled here at this time, it would be difficult to reverse the defeat. In just half an hour, the sergeant on the right who was closest to the river first ignored the military order and retreated. Someone had already done so.
Countless people followed. This move immediately caused Yuan's army to be torn into pieces and the formation was in chaos. Yuan's army abandoned their weapons and armor and fled, no longer able to resist.
Xu Chu led his troops in pursuit for more than two miles to the west, killing a thousand enemies and taking more than a thousand prisoners. Xu Chu also ordered two thousand cavalry from the east to block the beach to prevent Yuan Jun from boarding the ship and escaping.
opportunity. So, on the sand and mud land where Yuan Jun landed, an encirclement and chase battle began on the beach that was mixed with sand and river water. The flying hooves of Cao Jun's hooves stirred up countless water droplets,
Countless silt and sand were thrown up, which muddied the already unstable river water. Countless soldiers were killed in the turbid and dirty river water. After a while, there was a beach of half a mile in Moling, and the river surface was filled with people.
The ebb and flow of the river floated countless corpses, including Cao Jun soldiers and more Yuan Jun soldiers. Yuan Jun's desire to use ships to retreat from the river was completely shattered. Only three shipbuildings successfully sailed out of the beach.
Countless Cao Jun ships on the river chased and intercepted him.
"Boom! Boom!"
The fleet chasing the two warships that first lifted anchor and fled suddenly set off explosives on the river far away from Moling, which could be heard clearly by the soldiers on the wall of Moling.
It turned out that the small ships that were chasing the fleeing Moling navy were unable to keep up with the speed of the two medium-sized warships due to their limited speed, and were left far behind after a while. So they turned to besiege the ships that were sailing out of the beach behind them.
Three Yuan army warships.
The Moling naval force that pursued the two first fleeing ships initially had more than twenty ships, but now there were only three or four Moling ships that could keep up with the fleeing warships. This included the only ship in Moling.
There are also official ships of the building, as well as two or three private boats and pleasure boats of wealthy people. At first, these chasing Cao Jun ships could still fire arrows and attack behind Yuan Jun's warships. Slowly, Yuan Jun's warships moved faster and faster.
In a short while, they broke through the encirclement and interception of Cao's army on both sides, sailed the warship out of the mouth of the river in Moling, and turned into the wide main channel in the wind and waves.
Cao Jun, who was pursuing behind, was very anxious at this time, and knew that his ships could not outrun Yuan Jun's warships. One of Xu Chu's personal soldiers, an officer, immediately took out two sticks of explosives and asked the archers to bind them to the arrows.
Then, they shot at a nearby enemy ship. The first arrow missed the enemy ship and flew past the ship's string. However, the fuse burned out before hitting the water, and "boom!"
It exploded. Although this explosive did not cause any damage to the enemy ship, it only caused a splash of water and splashed the deck. However, it shocked the people on the ship who were fleeing one after another.
, the deterrent effect cannot be expressed in words.
But the pursuing Cao Jun was not satisfied. For the second arrow, he found a sharp archer and pulled the bow to the full moon. "Boom!" An arrow was shot right on the rear deck of the lagging ship.
"Boom!" This explosion really shocked the frightened Yuan Jun soldiers on the ship. There were already soldiers standing on the rear deck. When a big hole was blown out of the rear deck of the ship, several people were thrown out of the hull.
, turned into a corpse when he fell into the water.
The boat was made of wood, and it immediately caught fire, with billowing black smoke floating on the river. Some of the soldiers on the boat tried to put out the fire, and some simply chose to jump into the river because their clothes were caught by the flames.
The ship could still sail on the river at this time, but due to the damage to the stern, its course was unstable, its speed also slowed down, and it began to spin in the rapid river water. The fire also spread rapidly under the agitation of the river wind.
, the hull of the ship "crackled" on fire.
"Plop, plop!" Soldiers from the Yuan Army kept breaking through windows or wooden boat rails and jumping into the river to escape. Many of them jumped into the river to extinguish the fire on themselves.
The scene is spectacular, strange and lively.
The ships of Cao's army took the opportunity to approach the fleeing enemy ships, "surrender without killing, surrender without killing..." rough shouts rang out on the river at the same time.
"We surrender, we surrender! Help, help!"
Yuan Jun soldiers on countless ships shouted to surrender, while soldiers in the water screamed for help.
The county government ship headed by Cao Jun and the other two pleasure boats ignored the calls for help and accelerated to overtake the burning enemy ship. Under the command of the general, they pursued another fleeing enemy ship.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they sailed past the burning enemy ship, they saw that another enemy ship had taken the initiative to anchor and stop. Surrounded by several generals, a general wearing Mingguang armor stumbled from the upper floor of the ship building, supporting him.
