Chapter 375: Breakthrough

Li Xinchen handed the battle report to Cao Zhong and asked him to take a look at it, while looking up at Wang Chang who was standing higher:

"Within half an hour, take the Causeway Gorge!"

Wang Changdeng hit a spirit, Li Xinchen had never given him a death order before, and Nanchen Shuishi did not launch a rapid attack in the past two days, but only practiced under the wild boar rock by himself, obviously Li Xinchen was not panicked. This was already the most violent attack in three or four days.

And now the relaxed look on Li Xinchen's face has all dissipated, replaced by only perseverance and killing intent.

Wang Chang immediately didn't dare to slack off, and immediately shouted loudly at Li Xinchen: "Order, step up the attack!" ”

"Attack!" The drums were pounding suddenly, and the Nanchen warships began to speed up, and the generals and captains commanding the warships walked up to the flying house one after another, pressing their swords one by one, and staring at the front tightly.

And the building ship at the front was even more guarded by several Meng Chong, desperately moving forward against the enemy's arrows.

As for the few Meng Chong of the Bajun Sailor on the opposite side, either they have begun to sink into the water, or because the people who can move on the boat have fallen from the arrow and can only float on the water, only the two Meng Chong behind the palace saw that they could not hold on and began to turn around and flee.

And these two Mengchong gradually parted to the sides, and a few points of fire appeared on the river between them, down the river, faster and faster.

"Fireship!" Cao Zhong saw the fireship appearing at the end at a glance, and the enemy's Meng Chong was retreating, and releasing the fireship in this situation showed that this should be the opponent's last trump card.

"Beat the drum and rush straight over!" Wang Chang pressed his sword in his hand, and his eyebrows were full of might.

In the face of the ferocious fireship coming down the river before, Nanchen Sailor could only use the most primitive method to block it, but in the past two days, after Wang Chang noticed this problem, he modified the building ship, and added bamboo poles and bamboo baskets that extended out on the front and side of the fireship that were easy to be impacted, some of which were similar to the lightning protection nets hanging outside the battleship in later generations, and some of which were like the wolf wreath invented by the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang.

In this way, the fireboat can be stopped before it makes direct contact with the ship, and it may even be possible to direct the ship in other directions, thus giving the soldiers on the ship more chances to sink it.

Originally, in addition to long-distance attacks, the role of the building ship was to collide with the enemy ship at close range, so there were generally no additional things hanging outside the hull, but because the enemy did not have a building ship at all, only a few Meng Chong, so there was not much room for this role, so Wang Chang simply gave up this function.

After all, when the other party rushed into the range of the trebuchet and bed crossbow of his own ship, there was only one way to die.

If there were no such things hanging on the periphery of the ship as a guarantee, Wang Chang would not have the courage to directly order to rush over, and if he had to lose a building ship to deal with such an enemy, then he would be a big loser. What's more, the river is narrow, and the building ships can only advance in columns, and if a building ship is damaged, it is not so easy for the building ships behind to move forward.

"Bang!" After a few days of marching and fighting, these soldiers were obviously familiar with the more turbulent currents of the upper reaches of the river, and they were more comfortable with the boats. Coupled with the long and narrow hull of Mengchong, it is still easy to shuttle among these fireships.

Meng Chong in the back was not to be outdone, and followed his companions one after another. These Meng Chong did not stop the fireships as before, but directly charged at the last two Meng Chong of the enemy. As a warship used to attack the enemy's ship formation, this may be the last time they can play a role in Bashu.

Not only Meng Chong, but even the walkers and red horses, who were tied behind the building boat and carried by the building boat, also overtook the slow building boat and took the lead in rushing towards the enemy.

This is already the last enemy, and of course everyone wants to beat the water dogs.

Li Xinchen frowned, Meng Chong and Xing Gong, who had separated from the Lou boat in front of him, were undoubtedly reminding him that the Lou boat was the foundation of Nan Chen's sailors to run rampant across the river, but the current Lou boat was undoubtedly telling Li Xinchen that the speed of this kind of big ship was too slow.

When faced with the situation that the enemy is not strong, the ship that crashes behind does not even have the opportunity to directly engage the enemy, and this means that to another extent, the small boats such as Meng Chong and Walker who charge in front will have to make greater efforts and sacrifices if they want to catch up with the enemy and destroy him.

"Bang!" There was a soft sound ahead, and a fireboat crashed into the outer layer of bamboo, and when it landed, the bamboo was ignited, and the fire burned brightly, wrapping the bow of the ship, but as the speed of the boat did not slow, the rising river quickly extinguished the flames. The fire boat in front of the building boat shook violently a few times, and was finally directly overturned by the bamboo pole behind it, and was easily crushed by the main body of the building boat.

This situation continues to play out on the river, and the building boat that opened the road at the front has been surrounded by raging fires.

However, the speed of these ships was not affected in the slightest, but because they successfully resisted the impact of the fire ships, the soldiers on board looked excited, and the speed of the ships was a little faster. Ships easily ran over the fireboats, and then charged at the enemy.

"Breakthrough!" The corners of Wang Chang's mouth finally showed a smile, and he ordered in high spirits. Li Xinchen gave him half an hour, and now it only took two quarters of an hour, and basically there is no loss, of course, the task is successfully completed.

The drums beat more rapidly, like the sound of torrential rain, and on the narrow river of Tongluo Gorge in front, watching the enemy's building ships wrapped in the raging fire, but the speed of advance did not decrease at all, and there were originally some expectations of the Northern Zhou sailors, but finally the inevitable collapse, and the two Meng, who had been surrounded by the warships of the Southern Chen Navy, rushed up, leaving only the kneeling Northern Zhou soldiers.

"Damn, the boat surrendered before it jumped up." A Nan Chen general who had just jumped onto Meng Chong, who had just jumped onto a Bajun sailor, couldn't help but scold.

A companion next to him put away his knife and said with some disappointment: "This Causeway Gorge has been taken down, and there will be no water battles in the future." ”

"Don't worry, one day the general will take us out of Bashu again." The general gritted his teeth and said.

The companion raised his eyebrows and subconsciously looked at the coming Lou Chuan.

I hope so.

"Summons Chen Zhishen, the Causeway Gorge has been taken, and Lao Yashan can also launch a general attack." Standing on the flying house of the building boat, Li Xinchen didn't care about the battle situation in front of him, this was originally a battle that was bound to win, but there was a difference in how much he lost, he was more concerned about the changes in the battle situation in the entire Ba County, "Wang Chang!" ”

"The last general!" Wang Chang hit a stirring spirit and hurriedly responded.

"Fast through Causeway Gorge!"
