Chapter 976: Blood and Fire

One arrow after another accurately swooped into the chests of those Nanchen crossbowmen, and the Shu Han soldiers who climbed the beachhead didn't care about the rest, and desperately rushed towards the hillside.

They don't know how long the support behind them will last, so they must take advantage of this opportunity to rush up the hill.

One by one, the Red Horse boats also crossed the raging river, and began to transfer the soldiers from the rear fleet to the beachhead little by little, and they were also replenishing several building ships with arrows and stone bullets. These few beach-grabbing buildings have obviously turned into fixed firepower points, but after all, this is at a low place, even if the shooting angle of the bed crossbow is desperately raised, there is no way to shoot to the camp, but fortunately, the quality of the re-equipped trebuchet on the ship is still good, and the stone projectiles have been able to interfere with the defense of the camp.

"Quick, crossbowmen, shieldmen on both sides of the crossbowmen and get those annoying flies away!" Tang Xiao rushed to the beachhead in three steps and two steps, he who had emerged in the Battle of Hanzhong was now a partial general, only one step away from the miscellaneous general, so this time he would definitely not let go of this opportunity to make contributions.

An arrow swept past Tang Xiao's side, but he was not moved at all, just looked ahead with a nervous expression.

I have to admit that Lu Zhongsu still has some ability to lead troops, and no one dares to imagine that this guy is an internal historian (author's note: Taishou's deputy), and he is an out-and-out civil official.

The Shu Han crossbowmen who came ashore one after another were obviously more numerous, and they quickly suppressed the Nan Chen soldiers on the hillside, and Tang Xiao also knew that without further ado, he decisively drew his knife: "Brothers, for the Han, for the Han King!" ”

"Big Han!" Countless soldiers roared loudly and rushed up the hillside.

The scattered array of deer and horse rejection still worked, and if the Shu Han soldiers wanted to move these obstructive guys, they had to withstand the fire of the enemy's crossbowmen. Watching a famous soldier fall from an arrow, Tang Xiao felt that his heart was also dripping blood, after all, these were the robes that he brought out little by little!

"Suppress, request for support!"

At the same time, on the river, the three five-toothed ships slammed into the first barrage cable, and the whole warship shook violently, and the soldiers on board barely grabbed the railing to avoid falling. And the thick barrage iron cable also trembled wildly under such a violent impact, making a piercing grinding sound.

Because these three five-tooth ships stopped all of a sudden, they soon became the concentrated targets of the camps on both sides and the Jingzhou naval divisions, and the stone bullets and arrows smashed intensively, almost sweeping the entire deck.

Arrows of fire also began to fly towards this side, but the surface of the five-tooth ship was all fireproofed, only causing sporadic fire spots.

However, the support of the Bashu Sailors in the rear did not stop at all, and the stone bullets and arrows were also desperately beckoning the Jingzhou Sailors, forcing some of the smaller warships of the Jingzhou Sailors to start retreating, otherwise if they were sunk at this time and blocked the waterway, then the ships of their own families behind would not be able to come up.

"Fireship, fireship!" A sharp-eyed general soon spotted a few flat-bottomed boats rushing towards him quickly on the river.

"Raise the five-hundred-step crossbow!" Jiang Xian, the commander of the sailor, decisively ordered, "Change the fire arrow!" ”

As one of the important deputies who once followed Wang Chang into Shu, Jiang Xian stayed in this position for a long time, and the previous battle of Wolf Tail Beach made Qiu Zhi, so this time he invited himself to be the striker, just to take advantage of this opportunity to make contributions.

But the situation doesn't look good.

A five-hundred-step crossbow rose from under the deck, and Jiang Xian took a deep breath: "Get on the arrow!" ”

The size of this 500-step crossbow is slightly smaller than that of a bed crossbow that can reach 6 or 700 steps, but the accuracy is more guaranteed.

A stone bullet whizzed and slammed into the deck next to him, bouncing again, injuring one of the guards. And Jiang Xian turned a blind eye to this, and didn't even care that a few arrows landed on the shield that protected the hundred-step crossbow.

In addition to the elaborate mechanism to control the lifting and lowering, the outer edge of the bow also has a shield that resembles a cannon shield, although it is not thick, but the protective arrows are enough. If it weren't for this thing, the arrow just now would have penetrated Jiang Xian's chest.

"Get in place!"

The arrows that had been lit were aimed in front of them.

"Six hundred steps!"

"Five hundred and fifty steps!" The observer also did his best to remain calm.

"Five hundred steps!"

"Put!" Jiang Xian roared, his face already flushed.

It was also not easy to wind a 500-step crossbow, plus the problem of the angle of fire, so in fact, they only had this one chance.

Arrows whizzed out, piercing the ship with precision.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the fireboat was directly ignited by this fire arrow, burning violently, and the hull seemed to be torn apart by a pair of invisible hands, and the fire was quickly swallowed by the river, but the waves set off hit several fireboats behind.

"Good!" The warship erupted in cheers.

In order to be able to pass through the barrage, these fireboats were all flat-bottomed boats, and of course they could not stand such waves, and suddenly began to spin uncontrollably in the river, and the fire arrows shot from the rest of the boats set these fireboats on fire.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but Jiang Xian knew that this was not a solution, the strength of the iron cable was obviously beyond expectations, and if it kept colliding back and forth like this, it was actually the warship that was really damaged. Now it will depend on the battle between the camps on both sides.

"Hang the flag, ask for instructions!" Jiang Xian decisively ordered.

In fact, Wang Chang's flagship was getting closer and closer to the area where the barrage was located, and the disadvantage of the cottage attack and the news from Jiang Xian's side made Wang Chang anxious.

You must know that His Highness is watching from a warship behind, and if the attack is unfavorable, he doesn't know how he will be punished. What's more, this is the first big battle after His Royal Highness's personal expedition, and nothing can be defeated!

"Contact General Xiao immediately and ask for additional manpower to support the beachhead." Wang Chang made up his mind, "Tell Jiang Xian that we must hold on, we must go forward, and we must suppress the Jingzhou Sailors!" ”

"No!"

On the warship behind, Li Xinchen stood against the railing, with the breath of blood and fire in the whistling river wind, and the guards next to him looked around nervously, and once they heard the sound of arrows, they would immediately knock Li Xinchen down.

"The war is not going well." Xiao Shilian stood beside Li Xinchen and couldn't help frowning.

"How sure are you that you're in command?" Li Xinchen didn't answer, but directly asked me another question.

"Sixty percent of the day." Xiao Shilian frowned and said, "The terrain here is indeed dangerous, and it is no wonder that Liu Bei was blocked here at the beginning, and finally achieved Lu Boyan's prestige." ”

Li Xinchen bowed slightly: "That's true, so it's good that Wang Chang can fight like this, and it can't be said that the war is not going well." ”
