I have to say that Xiangzhou City still has enough offensive and defensive equipment, which can be seen from Xiao Shilian's ability to easily capture more than a dozen trebuchets outside the city. With Nan Chen building workshops in Liangjun and other places in Huainan, which can meet the needs of the war between the two Huai, the equipment in Jiangnan and other places should have piled up to the front line of Xiangzhou.

Obviously, the Southern Chen Imperial Court was still skeptical of Xiao Maha, who was in Jiangling and was obviously about to support his own troops.

At least it is definitely not like Chen Ji believed in Xiao Maha as Chen Ming believed in Wu Mingche at the beginning, so what Nan Chen painstakingly managed from beginning to end was the defense line from the public security to Xiangzhou, which can be corroborated by Gu Jue's handover to Li Xinchen of various offensive and defensive equipment in the public security city.

And now, although the materials outside the city have been destroyed, and even Xiangzhou City is being attacked in turn, at least the trebuchets and other equipment inside Xiangzhou City are still sufficient. Countless stone bullets roared and smashed over, setting off bursts of water columns on the not very wide water, and the surging waves made it almost difficult for Jiang Xian and the others' ships to move forward, and there were still three or four boats that had been destroyed by the stone projectiles thrown by the trebuchet.

"Hurry, hurry!" Jiang Xian's eyes were red, almost everyone on the boat was rowing desperately, and even Jiang Xian himself was eager to put his hand into the water, at least better than nothing.

"Bang!" A small stone fell on the body of a soldier, and the soldier screamed and fainted on the spot. But the rest of the people on the ship simply ignored this, for for them, this was originally a road of no return, and they had to rush to the city gate to save their lives.

The waves of water set off by the stone bullets slapped heavily on the boat, and the boat shook and almost rushed towards the embankment next to it, but fortunately, both the general on the ship and Jiang Xian himself were experienced sailor generals, and soon commanded the oarsmen to regain control of the ship by changing the force, and at the same time, this boat was also the first to rush to the door hole when the two companion ships in front of it were sunk or stranded.

The wooden fence in the doorway has been completely burned by the fire, and the wood has long turned black like ashes, and the ship crashed into it, and the wooden fence was smashed open, and countless flying ashes hit the soldiers' faces, but everyone stared at the front with wide eyes.

After entering the city, the river naturally tightened, and the defenders had already covered the river with iron cables, and even the first iron cable was still barbed, if it hit it directly, it would definitely be a ship wrecked and killed.

And Jiang Xian had already obtained the defense map in Xiangzhou City through the Jingzhou Navy Division before this, and Chen Shujian couldn't make much changes in just one day.

Jiang Xian did not intend to rush forward directly along the river from the beginning, the river in the city is narrow, this is an indisputable fact, if it is directly along the river, it will definitely become a live target for the Nan Chen crossbowmen in the houses on both sides of the river, as long as it is a random arrow, Jiang Xian and them can suffer heavy losses, and even the entire army is not impossible.

Therefore, Jiang Xian's plan was to abandon the boat directly at the dock inside the city gate and go ashore.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" The generals of both sides gave the order almost immediately, and the arrows whizzed at each other.

Most of the arrows pierced the shields, but some of the soldiers fell with arrows.

The ropes that had been prepared for a long time were accurately set on the stakes on the wharf, and the walkers leaned heavily on the wharf almost at the speed of rushing to the beach, and the whole ship shook violently, and if the sergeants on the ship had not been prepared for a long time, they had to grasp the firm place, I am afraid that they would have to turn over on their backs.

Jiang Xian drew his knife and jumped off the warship first, the ship was actually not completely on the dock, just now the boat naturally retreated again, and Jiang Xian stepped on the steps in the water, three steps and two steps rushed ashore.

The Nan Chen crossbowmen on the dock were still busy retreating, they didn't expect the other party to be so violent, and they rushed to the front in a blink of an eye, and suddenly there was chaos on the dock. However, fortunately, several Nanchen battle masters decisively ordered the sword and shield men to retreat one after another, at the expense of the dozen crossbowmen in front, so that the soldiers behind could push the prepared Saimen knife cart up.

"Ballast, quick!" Jiang Xian's pupils contracted suddenly, obviously Chen Shujian, who had a lot of battlefield experience, had already expected him to do this, and these Saimen knife carts that should have appeared on the side of the city gate on land did not expect to be prepared here.

The Stopon Knife Carriage is the simplest and most effective defense method when the city gate is breached, which can make the enemy's large influx of foot soldiers suffer a fierce blow at the first time, but correspondingly, as a device that has become more and more common when defending, the Fortress Knife Carriage is not without a way to crack.

Whether it is directly pushed over with a big shield or hit with a giant wood, it can effectively push through the Saimen knife car, but these siege equipment are generally equipped by the engineering team on land, and the sailor's boat is so small, naturally there is no way to load these things, if the enemy's Saimen knife car is allowed to move forward, then Jiang Xian will be forced back to the ship directly. And the enemy's crossbowmen rush up, then Jiang Xian will completely become a live target.

So Jiang Xian simply didn't do anything and lifted the ballast wood out.

The boat is just a light troop transport ship, and if it is directly used to attack the city gate at the risk of enemy arrows and stone projectiles, it is easy to be affected by the waves because the ship is too light to be controlled, so before that, a ballast wood was placed on the bilge of all the ships to increase the weight and lower the center of gravity of the ship.

It's just that Jiang Xian didn't expect that this ballast wood would play a role at this time. The arrows whistled past him, Jiang Xian gritted his teeth tightly, looking at the Saimen knife car that was getting closer and closer, and the two generals carried the ballast wood together, Jiang Xian roared, and also joined the ranks, and several people held the ballast wood and crashed directly into the Saimen knife car.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the Saimen knife cart was hit and retreated, and Jiang Xian and the others strode forward without hesitation, knocking the Saimen knife cart away, while the rest of the soldiers rushed into the gap as if they were flying.

"Kill!" Jiang Xian casually threw away the ballast wood, drew his knife and pounced directly at a Nanchen lord next to him, and the Nanchen lord looked at the Shu Han soldiers who surrounded him in all directions, and for a while he was in a mess and took the lead in running backwards.

Originally, there were not many Nan Chen troops on the dock, but who would have thought that as soon as this battle master ran away, the rest of the soldiers also began to retreat, and the people behind were still moving forward, and suddenly the dock became more and more chaotic, which made Jiang Xian surprised and delighted, and hurriedly led people to rush to the uptown trail that was close at hand.
