Huaipu!

"Blame! Weird! ”

Liu Ye faced the east, staring at the calm and waveless surface of the Huaishui River, and kept muttering.

Zhang Ying walked over and said, "Mr. Ziyang, what are you looking at?" ”

Zhang Ying and the others were puzzled, Liu Ye Ganma always stared at Huaishui, and always read the word strange.

Liu Ye asked, "Don't you think it's weird?" Why didn't Donglai's sailors come from Huaishui? ”

"Mr. Ziyang, maybe they want to attack along the swimming water, after all, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are in Qu County, and they have successfully recaptured Haixi." Zhang Ying thought for a while and said:

"But the strange thing is that why didn't they move in Haixi and didn't take the opportunity to attack?"

Liu Ye explained: "Xu Ding has more than one naval army, this Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin have only been subdued in the past six months, and he also has the Ganning Department of the Naval Army, as well as the old troops Lu Qian and Wu Dun, so it stands to reason that they should also be deployed to help Tao Qian recover Xia Pi and Guangling County." ”

"Mr. Ziyang, it may be that the other naval generals who have been promised have not been arranged in advance on Yuzhou Mountain Island, so it will take time to arrive from Weiyuan Island." Zhang Ying said his opinion.

Although Liu Ye didn't agree very much, he reluctantly accepted this explanation.

However, based on his analysis of Xu Ding, there should be other back-up hands for Xu Ding.

Now the mysterious Donglai army has not been advancing, which makes people very uneasy.

However, the uneasiness was quickly diverted by a message.

Xu Ding led troops to Tan County and stabilized the hearts of the army and the people for Tao Qian.

Then Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses advanced rapidly, crossed Surabaya, and claimed to be 200,000 surrounded Tan County, Xu Ding and Tao Qian were unable to move, and asked Liu Qian to quickly break through from the right flank, take the eastern part of Qu County and Donghai County, and eliminate Xu Ding together.

Liu Miao sent a letter to ask for Liu Ye's suggestion.

After careful consideration, Liu Yedao replied: "If Xu Ding is really besieged in Tan County, then we must rush into the army as soon as possible, strive to capture Tan County before Yuan Shu captures Tan County, kill Xu Ding, occupy the eastern part of Donghai County, cut off Yuan Shu's eastward expansion, so that it cannot touch the sea, and cannot prevent the connection between Yangzhou and Qingzhou and Yanzhou in the future." ”

Liu Ye's letter had just been sent to Liu Xuan, asking him to send a large army to guard Huaipu, and he would let Zhang Ying return to Youshui and start attacking north.

Re-attacking Haixi, this time Zhang Ying took Liu Ye's secret weapon - trebuchet.

This is Liu Ye according to the description of the ancient book restoration, as soon as he arrived in Huaipu, he stepped up to produce a rush system, originally wanted to use it to defend Huaipu, but did not expect that the first time it was used to attack Haixi.

Zhang Ying was not Zhou Tai's opponent in the water battle, so before he arrived in Haixi, Zhang Ying ordered 20,000 soldiers to kick on land, and a group of soldiers went to Haixi City by land.

At this time, it was not Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin who commanded the battle in Haixi, but Tian Yu, the disciple of Lu Su and Xu Ding.

The two came from Weiyuan Island and arrived in Xuzhou faster than Xu Ding, and at the same time came Lu Qian, the governor of the navy.

Lu Qian was in the town of Qu County, and as for Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, they were really as Liu Ye expected, so they went to carry out a sneak attack.

However, the target of the sneak attack was different from what Liu Ye guessed.

Because they didn't go up the Huai River to fight Huai Pu, but turned into the Fu Shui from the middle of the swimming water, went around Quyang City, and attacked the next minister.

After eating the lower phase, they can go south straight into Huaishui and occupy the upper reaches of Huaiyin.

This bend is a bit big and takes a lot of time.

So this is also the reason why the Donglai Navy has not moved for a long time and has not gone to fight Huaipu, that is, to keep Huaipu to attract the attention of Liu Ye and Liu Xuan.

This plan was proposed by Lu Su, with the consent of Lu Qian, Zhou Tai and others were also willing to try, the danger factor is not small, but once it succeeds, it can completely surround Liu Xuan's 100,000 troops in Huaiyin and Huaipu.

"What is this?" Lu Su had never seen a trebuchet, so he didn't know what it was.

But Tian Yu knew, because he knew who invented Donglai's trebuchet, so he explained: "Zijing, that one is called a trebuchet, be careful, the stone smashed by this thing is not small." ”

"Trebuchet! Could it be that this is the stone throwing tool that was circulated during the Warring States period. "Lu Su is not illiterate, he has read a lot of books, and he has seen enough.

Tian Yu said: "That's right, it's that thing, at the beginning of the year, the master also used it to smash the northern city built by Yuan Yin in Pingzhou, it is said that the power is amazing, the enemy has this thing, we are afraid that this city is not easy to defend." ”

Lu Su asked curiously: "Why can the enemy obtain such a sharp weapon from us, is it a traitor?" ”

Tian Yu shook his head and said: "It's unlikely, our side is very strict internally, and the control is also profitable, and it is generally difficult to cross the sea without an identity token." ”

It's not from within, so where could it be?

Lu Su was puzzled.

"No matter, since the enemy has this thing, we have to suppress it, let the bed crossbow aim first, shoot when it is close, and destroy them directly." Tian Yu knew from Xu Ding and other seniors that the projection distance of this trebuchet was not far, and it could be suppressed with a bed crossbow at the head of the city, so he had to deal with it as soon as he found this thing.

So Tian Yu mobilized the operator, immediately pushed out all the bed crossbows, and then pulled the strings on the bed crossbow arrows.

Under the city!

Zhang Ying looked at the low Haixi City and smiled proudly, the people of this city have all been beaten down with a speculator, and now that they have this kind of artifact, they are afraid that they will not be able to bomb it.

"Someone pushed forward, launched it for me, and smashed the city wall for me, so that the Donglai army could have a good taste of stone bullets, and let them understand that our Yangzhou army is the strongest."

The elite soldiers came out of Danyang, Wu County was next to Danyang, Liu Miao sent people to Danyang to recruit troops, and there were still many brave soldiers under him.

It's just that the generals who train and command the troops are really not very good.

Like Zhang Ying, Fan Neng, Yu Elk, Chen Hengzhi and the like can only be said to be useful, and they are all from families, and there are many disadvantages of using them.

At Zhang Ying's order, the soldiers pushed the trebuchet out of the formation and pulled forward in a row, just stopped, and were about to load the stone bullets, only to hear a buzzing sound.

Then there was a long roar in the sky, and then several long sharp arrows pierced me.

With a bang, a catapult was hit, breaking the supporting logs and collapsing.

Several others pierced and shot the Yangzhou soldiers who were operating.

Long arrows pierced through the ground, and human arrows stuck in the ground.

"Good! Keep shooting arrows and kill them all for me. ”

Tian Yu and Lu Su are both happy.

Zhang Ying's face was cold, and he was busy with numerology trebuchets and immediately counterattacked.

The Yangzhou soldiers braved the threat of a bed crossbow under the city, hurriedly loaded the stone projectile, and then fired it and threw it at the city.

Several stone projectiles flew to the top of the building, but unfortunately, they all fell on the outside of the city wall, and even the wall did not hit, until one of them crossed the city and fell into the urn city.

"There is a false alarm, it seems that the opponent's trebuchet is not very accurate, and the projection distance is far inferior to ours." Tian Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the stone bullet hurriedly thrown by the other party.
