Chapter 638: The Water Army Attacked

Still fighting?

Of course, he will fight, whether it is Yuan Shu or Yuan Lian, naturally he will not stop there.

So when Yuan Shu arranged for all the generals of the army to come to Yuan Shu to report his life, Yuan Shu asked: "Yaoqing, how are we going to fight Pengcheng next, do we still have a chance?" ”

When he asked this, Yuan Shu's tone was very calm, as if the general Ji Ling had not been killed in battle.

Obviously, he has also grieved when he should have mourned.

Yuan Jian thought for a while and said, "Lord, we still have a chance, but we must be prepared for a long-term attack." Although we have lost a lot of soldiers today, our morale has decreased, but the advantages we have accumulated in the early stage are still there, and they are still in an advantage over Xuzhou.

I have calculated, the Qingzhou army will not go south for a while and a half, and Wang Xiu's troops are only so much, Li Jin is fierce, today we are a little anxious, so we ignored the trebuchet in Qingzhou, and let Li Jin kill out of the city.

Next time we are prepared, if we dare to go out of the city, we can leave it behind.

So the opportunity is there, it's just a matter of tweaking. ”

"Good! If you have a chance! I wait, tonight I will set up a sacrifice for Ji Ling, to comfort the soldiers of our army. Yuan Shu hesitated for a moment, and finally made this decision.

Ji Ling is dead, but let him exert some residual heat and use a little of his surplus value.

The mourning army will win!

Ji Ling's death may not be able to inspire the army, and it may not be used to boost momentum.

It's just a matter of how.

The sacrificial hall was quickly built, and Yuan Shu set up a sacrifice for Ji Ling in the army, but he did not come out to preside over the overall situation, but asked Yuan Jian to replace him.

After all, he is a king, and Ji Ling is a minister.

Although Ji Ling is his confidant, it is impossible to let him personally go down in order to handle this matter, which will greatly reduce the face of the Yuan family.

Yuan Jian and the others did not force Yuan Shu.

Instead, he made full use of Ji Ling's death to motivate the generals and soldiers, and announced Yuan Shu's incentive policy on the spot.

Whoever can kill Li Jin, the soldier officer will be promoted to six levels, and the general who commands more than 500 troops can take Ji Ling's position.

Of course, no matter who killed Li Jin or attacked the city, there were many rewards.

This time, Yuan Shu opened a huge reward temptation.

In order to match the atmosphere, he also rewarded the army in advance, and took out good wine and meat to let the soldiers feel the joy of victory in advance, as well as the hope for a better future.

"Revenge! Avenge! Avenge the General! ”

After drinking some wine, Yuan Shu's army vented all the negative emotions caused by the excessive loss of soldiers during the day.

In his mind, he was promoted to the sixth level, and he was all about taking over Ji Ji's position, becoming the chief general of the Yuzhou Army, becoming a master, and becoming the most powerful person under Yuan Shu and Yuan Lian.

Yuan Shu labored the army in the city, and Wang Xiu in the city also gave meals to all the soldiers, which was also an incentive for all the generals of the army.

"Shuzhi, although we won today, but Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling also died in battle, you see that the Yuan army camp is brightly lit, and the cry is shocking, it seems that the other party is also taking the opportunity of the death of the general to inspire the soldiers, and tomorrow's battle is afraid that it will be more intense." Zhang Zhao said worriedly.

Although today's victory opened his eyes, it was still not optimistic and did not bring him much security.

Yuan Shu's army was too much, and there were too few soldiers defending the city.

The contrast is huge.

"Tomorrow's battle may be fierce, but it won't be in Ximen, and Yuan Shu won't throw all his troops in at once, but even if he changes his goal, he won't succeed." Wang Xiu still said confidently.

What Yuan Chuan wanted to do, he knew very well.

The two have been fighting for a month, and they haven't met each other, but they are getting to know each other better.

The opponent is like that.

Zhang Zhao sounded like Dong Fei Dong, but he didn't ask.

The next day, at dawn.

Yuan Shu's army was divided into three routes, and one crossed the Jishui River from the left side of Pengcheng to the north bank.

Cross the Surabaya River on the right to the north bank.

Then find a relatively shallow water place, prepare to build a pontoon bridge on the Surabaya River section in the north of Pengcheng, and completely seal the three river sections of Pengcheng, east and west and north in the water pile, and firmly fix the activities of the water army in the area of the North Gate Wharf of Pengcheng.

"Yuan Shu is trying to deal with me." Zhou Tai had already been itching, if it weren't for Wang Xiu not telling him that the navy should not go ashore to fight, he would have wanted to take the navy to the West Gate to participate in the war.

Now seeing that Yuan Shu wanted to block the waterway of the Surabaya River in the north, he immediately became angry and commanded all ships and ships to kill the Surabaya River in the north from the dock to the place where Yuan Jun set up a pontoon bridge.

The two pontoon bridges in Pengcheng, one on the left and one on the right, were deliberately erected by Wang Xiu, that is, to let Yuan Shu rest assured that he would boldly attack the West Gate head-on.

So last night, he guessed that what Yuan Lian really wanted to fight next was the Qingzhou Navy, so he also ordered Zhou Tai in advance.

Zhou Tai, who had already had an order, was naturally not polite, and set up a battleship and killed the battleship.

The Yuan troops on both sides of the river also had a premeditated plan, and the archers were transferred to the river, and they all shot arrows into the river.

"Meaningless, scarecrow, I received Yuan Jun's arrows."

With Zhou Tai's order, the sailors and soldiers planted the scarecrows that had been prepared on both sides of the deck.

Suddenly, countless arrows shot at the water, and many of them were strong enough to pierce directly into the scarecrow.

After shooting countless waves, Yuan Jun, who saw that it was ineffective, had no choice but to stop shooting arrows and stop wasting arrows.

"Come on, bring out our bed crossbow, Yuan Shu's people don't shoot, now it's our turn to shoot."

Zhou Tai gave another order, and a bed crossbow was pushed out of the hidden weapon hole.

After loading, with a loud bang, sharp crossbow arrows shot into the Yuan army by the river.

Frightened, Yuan Jun scattered one after another.

After shooting a few waves and seeing that the Yuan army withdrew, Zhou Tai asked people to transfer the bed crossbow to the bow of the ship, preparing to shoot and charge the Yuan army who had set up the pontoon bridge.

However, Yuan Jun dared to build a bridge and was also prepared.

The boats were rowed in small boats on both sides of the river, and then loaded with thatch, which was splashed with oil.

After igniting, the flame leaned upwards and forward.

Countless boats, under human control, drifted downstream.

"A small boat can stop me, and the people come in a formation of one, two, and three, and the iron-clad warships are divided into the front and on both sides, and the other boats are concentrated in the middle."

Don't say that the other party doesn't have a water army, even if there is, Zhou Tai is not afraid.

As Zhou Tai's command flag was sent to all ships and ships, soon the warship with iron sheets in the bow moved to both wings.

Then the captains of both wings gave an order.

"Put down the iron chain plate, and prepare the armor-piercing arrows and the ......"

The sound of iron colliding was heard, and the crew pushed out the chain mail protection made of small pieces of iron rolled into a ball on the deck.

Suddenly, the chain mail slammed into the plank, making a dull crashing sound.

These chains of mail are not commonly used, and unless there is a fight, they will push down the planks that protect the wings.

Because there is no waterproof paint in Xuding, especially the anti-rust paint that is resistant to salt and alkali corrosion, there is no iron sheet on both wings of the general warship.

Especially in the navy, because the iron sheet is too easy to corrode under the invasion of the sea.

That's why I thought of this kind of response, which is to comprehensively improve combat effectiveness and save the city's capital.

After all, the small part of the iron sheet in the bow of the ship can be afforded by regular repairs.

A large area of replacement like the side of a two-wing ship is too expensive.

In the absence of a strong enemy in the navy, it is obviously not cost-effective to use a stationary type.

Without further ado, I saw that the boats were either smashed and crushed by the bow and then doused by the river.

However, he was pushed away by the crew with a brace.

Because of the protection of iron sheets, the high-temperature flames could not be concentrated on the ship's board, and the warship was naturally safe.

The warship easily broke through the enemy's fleet of munitions, and then reached the pontoon.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The bed crossbows in the bows of each ship began their show again, shooting towards the Yuan army on the pontoon.

Suddenly, countless Yuan troops fell into the water, and the not very reliable pontoon bridge was also shot to break the rope or crack the plank.

What made Yuan Jun cry out the most was that Zhou Tai's army rushed over and directly broke the pontoon bridge, violently shaking and losing the level, and countless Yuan Jun fell into the water.

The water is the world of Zhou Tai and others, and the soldiers on the boat want to take out their bows and crossbows to shoot the enemy soldiers who fall into the water, or pick them into the water, take out their short knives and stab the enemy soldiers' bodies.

Yin Hong's blood water suddenly soaked in a large body of water.
