You Zhengyang, who had been observing the battle situation from behind, realized that the initiative was completely in his own hands, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot and ordered the warships to launch a fierce attack.
Before the mighty boat arrived, there were moving warships everywhere. The bows of the warships split the turbulent waves and created layers of fierce ripples. Crossbow arrows flew past the water, or shot.
If it hits the target, it will either sink in the sea water. The stone bullets continue to fall, splashing high water columns and making a deafening sound. The Xiaoguo Army's unique thunder thunder is also heard continuously.
In the chaotic battle, whether it was the Xiaoguo Navy or the Guard Navy, ships continued to sink, and sailors continued to be thrown on the sea, disappearing forever.
Two hours later, another five-story battleship of the Guards Navy was sunk, eight three-story warships were captured, five were sunk, and seven were seriously injured and withdrawn from the battle. It was the trusted interim commander.
Jiang Zhihuan's three-story battleship was also riddled with scars. There were at least ten large and small holes on the deck, which were all pierced by the Xiaoguo Army's stone bullets.
Because Jiang Zhihuan's car was the temporary flagship, it did not rush to the front and was not attacked by the thunder. However, there were originally more than 500 sailors on the ship, and now there were less than 200 people left. There were people everywhere on the deck.
Mutilated limbs can be seen, and blood flows along the deck into the seawater, like a small red waterfall.
The morale of the Guards Navy has completely fallen to the bottom. From the beginning, it was able to injure and sink the Xiaoguo Navy. Now it has been captured and sunk one after another. The warships of the Guards Navy are no longer as heroic as before.
Good at fighting. Of course, the propaganda slogan of Xiaoguo Army also played a small role. It must be said that Tang Xian replaced a general who was not a navy army as the navy army's coach, which was a huge mistake.
More and more officers are requesting the current commander Jiang Zhihuan to retreat. Since Zhou Ze and Lei Hai were killed in battle and the flag of the flagship was changed, their losses have become greater and greater, and the morale of the soldiers has become lower and lower. The combat effectiveness of the army is
It is closely related to morale, not
With the support of morale, neither army can win. But seeing that the Xiaoguo army became more and more courageous as they fought, while the Guards Navy could only retreat passively, and some warships also began to surrender. Otherwise, wait
Their fate will be to be completely sunk.
"General! Withdraw!" the officer beside Jiang Zhihuan said harshly.
"Evacuate? Where can we evacuate to? Can we protect our safety by evacuating to the seaport?" Jiang Zhihuan said with a frown.
The officer beside him was silent. In fact, he wanted to evacuate ashore, abandon the ship and leave the port, and even had the intention of surrender. The original commander was replaced, and the navy soldiers were dissatisfied. Now that the battle is like this, he has long stopped serving.
Tang Xian fought to the death here. Until now, the guards were the guards and the navy was the navy. They were not subordinate to each other. Now the general of the guard dared to dismiss the chief general of the navy privately. How could the navy officers be convinced?
"Evacuate! Evacuate into the port!"
After two more warships were sunk and two were captured, Jiang Zhihuan had no choice but to issue a retreat order. Instead of being wiped out by the Xiaoguo Army on the sea, it would be better to retreat to the port where the trapped beasts were still fighting. Maybe the Xiaoguo Army was not
They will chase after him. Besides, once you enter the port, you will have a chance to escape.
After the order was passed on, the Guards Navy began to retreat quickly and left the battlefield. On the floating sea, a large number of wreckage and human corpses were floating back and forth along the sea, but no one took a glance at it at this moment.
"Want to run? Chase!"
You Zhengyang watched the enemy ships retreat, sneered, and issued the order without thinking, leading the Xiaoguo Navy fleet to pursue them.
Soon after, the Xiaoguo Army's navy saw the opponent's water fort. The water fort was located on a prismatic side wall, slightly sunken, and became the base of the water fort. Although there were no trebuchets, there were still many twisted crossbows.
"Kill!" Navy Chief You Zhengyang looked at the enemy's water stronghold and shouted sternly. If you want to capture the water stronghold, the most important thing is to capture the land in the west. This is the naval base camp.
In an instant, the place was already in flames of war, and the blood dyed the sea water red. Around the water stronghold, the warships of the Xiaoguo Army and Navy had surrounded it, and the crossbows on the warships were firing non-stop.
launch, row
A row of fierce crossbow arrows whizzed away, hitting every corner of the Shuizhai camp gate and the slope defense line on the west side. At the same time, the trebuchets on the warships also continued to throw stone bombs, trying to break down the enemy's defenses.
Completely shattered.
The sailors of the Guards stationed at the gate of the water village attacked the defense line on the west slope and the soldiers left behind of the Guards counterattacked equally fiercely. The crossbows fired from the port were equally ferocious, and from time to time they knocked down the Xiaoguo troops on the surrounding warships.
The soldiers were knocked down.
According to the intelligence detected by the Shadow Guard, in order to protect the navy, there are two thousand guards stationed at the rear of the camp, responsible for guarding the flanks. Although the navy commander was replaced, the two armies were not in harmony.
, but in this situation, the two militaries have no other choice but to work together.
"Half of the warships suppress the west slope! Generally, we attack the navy stronghold from the east side."
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
The warships of the Xiaoguo Navy kept firing crossbows, and the crossbows hit the defensive stone platform on the west slope crazily. Zhentian Lei also flew in, and bursts of black smoke suddenly caused the guards on the slope to
The soldiers suddenly lost their temper.
The western slope of Xicheng connects with the sea water, which is a shallow sea area with strange rocks. It is impossible to dock a boat, so we have to attack the guard water stronghold from the east side or the front. But in front of the water stronghold, there is a tall sluice. If you want to attack,
Water fortress, capturing these sluice gates is the key, but the Guards Navy is facing
The defense of the sluice was also very stubborn. The guard's crossbows were equally fierce and vicious. A volley of crossbow arrows shot out like raindrops, making it very difficult for Sergeant Xiaoguo to advance. Near the east side of the sluice
The land was all stained red with blood.
And if the sluice is not opened, the warships will not be able to enter, and they will not dare to stay again. Who knows whether being trapped here will be ignited by the fireships.
"Bring the giant shield and advance from the east side of the land!" Fang De shouted sharply. It was said that since he joined the Xiaoguo Army, he felt that he was a true naval general today.
These shields were prepared to prevent the Jin from fighting crossbows. In Zhao Xun's words, the navy also had to learn the necessary land raid operations, and the weapons and armor needed to be equipped were prepared to prevent unexpected events.
At this moment, these navy soldiers buckled the huge tower shields together to form an airtight protective wall, slowly advancing forward to resist the attack of the crossbow arrows.
The soldiers held up their shields and braved the rain of arrows from the guards. They soon arrived under the fence on the east side of the sluice. These fences were made of rough wood and were extremely strong. Sergeant Xiaoguo held his head against the top.
The crossbows and arrows were moving closer to the bottom of the fence. Only by getting close to the fence can we have a chance to break through, let the navy enter, and completely annihilate the Guards navy.
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
What gives Sergeant Xiaoguo the most headache is the roaring crossbow arrow above. The Xiaoguo Army can also ask the soldiers to block it with troops, but the crossbow arrow, which is as thick as a baby's arm, cannot be intercepted by these giant shields. Fortunately, this crossbow arrow
The firing frequency is not high, otherwise, Sergeant Xiaoguo would really have no choice but to retreat and think of another way.
Otherwise, Captain Wan Tao under Fang De's command would be the only one who could do it. Although he was shot twice by arrows and blood flowed involuntarily along his clothes, he refused to retreat. The sharp ax in his hand kept digging under the fence.
, dig out a gradually expanding hole below,
It seemed that the guardsmen and navy also knew their fate, and they fired crossbows and arrows desperately. Under the dense and fierce rain of arrows, the casualty rate of Sergeant Xiaoguo gradually increased.
Jiang Zhihuan is also struggling with the water stronghold of the Wei Army. From the current situation, it seems that the Xiaoguo Army is clearly going to catch them all and annihilate them all. Apart from abandoning the ship and escaping, he can only defend the water stronghold. Hold on to three
The sluice gate kept the Guards navy out of the water camp until reinforcements from Lingzhou Prefecture arrived.
There are not many guards in Lingzhou Prefecture, but they can recruit thousands of young men at any time and obtain a large number of crossbow arrows. But what makes Jiang Zhihuan hesitate is whether Guidelang, the guard of Lingzhou Prefecture, will send troops to rescue. He is here
It would be an injustice to hold on without reinforcements. Besides, the remaining officers under his command did not agree with waiting for the rescue of the Guards.
They all suggested that if you can abide by the rules, if you can't keep it, abandon the ship and leave. If the Xiaoguo Army gets the ship, they won't pursue them. Of course, this is also the slogan of the Xiaoguo Army to persuade them to surrender. After all, this is
The navy soldiers of the Wei Army were mainly from Yangzhou. How could they be willing to stay in the north? Zhao Xun's goal was the ship, not the soldiers.
"Let the big ship move forward! Suppress the defenders on the sluice!" Fang De said loudly.
Immediately, five three-story ships slowly approached forward, placing the sluice within the striking range of the trebuchet.
"Huhuhu..."
On the warship near the sluice, the trebuchets continued to throw huge stone projectiles. High water columns were thrown up in front and behind the sluice. The target of the sluice was still a little too small, so the accuracy of the stone projectiles thrown from the warship was inevitably poor.
A lot. Occasionally, stone bombs hit the top of the sluice, but they missed it and did not have much effect. They even had to stop the stone bombing later because they were worried that the winch that controlled the sluice would be damaged and the sluice would not be able to be raised.
It will be even more troublesome.
"Ganthe crossbow, single shot!" Fang De ordered again.
The crossbow machine on the warship immediately fired non-stop, and dense crossbow arrows were shot at the top of the sluice. However, the outside of the grating wall above the sluice was covered with thick rawhide. When the crossbow arrows were shot, it was like shooting on cotton.
The effect was also not great. It was either nailed to the top or broken and fell off. Looking from a distance, the surface of the sluice was covered with crossbow arrows, like a hedgehog covered in bruises, but it never fell.
"The Yangzhou Navy is the Yangzhou Navy. A mere partial division can build such a strong water stronghold here." At the end, You Zhengyang, the commander of the Xiaoguo Army Navy, sighed. Because without the cooperation of the Wei Army, the Wei Army
The army and navy did not build trebuchets to guard the fort on the west side. However, they relied on the navy's own capabilities to build this just-in-time sluice gate to firmly block foreign enemies from the water camp.
