Chapter 874: The Great Counterattack
Chen Ergou's final request was only manpower, which was much easier. The storm that day made it impossible for the Japanese and Yi people to attack Xiangjiang Island, which just gave Mao Wenlong a good time to transform the arrows.
There was no superfluous nonsense, and when he learned that Chen Ergou just needed manpower, Mao Wenlong didn't say a word. directly ordered the mobilization of 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army to Chen Ergou to drive.
The only requirement was that the 10,000 ringing arrows had to be transformed in one day. 10,000 people transform 10,000 ringing arrows, which is not a burden for Chen Ergou at all.
The old man smiled from ear to ear, and the task without pressure was easy. Chen Ergou thanked Mao Wenlong happily, and immediately went to discuss the arrangement with others.
Mao Wenlong was also forced to do so, in such a wartime, if it was not inevitable, he would definitely not be able to mobilize the forces of defense to transform what kind of arrows.
Fortunately, this storm came in time, giving Mao Wenlong a chance to take a breath. Seeing that Chen Ergou was busy in an orderly manner, Mao Wenlong also felt a lot more at ease.
braved the storm and returned to the place where he lived, only to see Haoda and Adou already waiting here.
Mao Wenlong's clothes were already a little wet at the moment, but he didn't care, and said without looking back when he entered the house: "Come in, it's raining heavily outside." ”
Haoda and Adou immediately followed when they heard the voice, and after Mao Wenlong sat down, Adou immediately bowed his hand and said: "Chief soldier, the subordinates have tested the distance." ”
"Oh......"
Mao Wenlong was very surprised, looked up at the storm outside, and really couldn't understand how Adou calculated under such circumstances? But these are no longer important, Mao Wenlong's purpose is to know the farthest distance of the bow and arrow when shooting down from a high altitude. This will allow you to estimate the safe distance and the distance of the attack when the hot air balloon approaches the Yiren warship.
"Tell me about it." Mao Wenlong straightened his body and looked directly at Adou.
"General soldier, the effective distance of normal shooting of ordinary bows and arrows is about 100 paces. If you shoot from a high altitude, you can add a hundred paces to the distance, and such a distance cannot avoid the sound of arrows at all. "Adou is quite angry.
Mao Wenlong chuckled when he heard this: "Don't worry about it, you may not need a bow and arrow now." We can completely retaliate with a tooth for a tooth and give Yiren a big surprise. ”
Adou was stunned for a moment, and asked blankly: "What can the chief soldier do?" ”
Mao Wenlong stood upright, walked to the window and looked at the heavy rain that was still pouring outside, and said with a smile: "I hope this heavy rain can fall into the evening, so that we can be more prepared." ”
The inexplicable words made Adou very dazed. Mao Wenlong turned around and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Relax, don't worry about just a few people." ”
The heavy rain is still on, but the sky is getting late, and the sky seems to be looking after Mao Wenlong. It wasn't until the next morning that the storm really subsided, the sea was still calm, and the army of Yiren and the Japanese began to move.
Auf got up early in the morning and stood on the bow of the deck with Taro Shinno, and the two looked directly at Koe Island in the distance, their faces beaming with joy.
"The damn rain has finally stopped...... "Auf said with a smile as he stretched.
"It's time to put an end to the Dongjiang Army." Taro Shinno glanced at Auve.
"Hmph, a heavy rain made Mao Wenlong gasp for one more day, and today he will be buried on Xiangjiang Island to avenge my brother-in-law!"
"So what are we waiting for? Why didn't Mr. Auve immediately give the order to attack. Taro Shinno said softly.
"Pass the order, the whole army will attack!"
Auf did not hesitate and directly ordered the whole army to set off.
The trumpets of the attack echoed across the sea, and the same fifty warships of yesterday armed with huge arrows were in the lead. In the eyes of Auf and Taro Shinno, as long as the hot air balloon of the Dongjiang Army is contained, there is nothing to worry about.
After all, their current strength is more than double that of the Dongjiang Army, and the Dongjiang Army has always relied on the advantage of hot air balloons to fight. The real strength has never been shown, coupled with yesterday's complete victory, at this moment, Aofu and Shinno Taro have begun to look down on the Dongjiang Army in their hearts.
The waters around Koe Island are full of warships of the Yi people and the Japanese invaders, and when you stand on a high place, you can't see the end at all. Such a power is indeed a bit scary, and Mao Wenlong also frowned, feeling that it was difficult to deal with this time.
"Huge, is the hot air balloon ready?" Mao Wenlong turned around and looked directly at the vastness.
"Qi Yu General Army, sixty hot air balloons are all ready and ready to fight at any time." Huge and loud report.
Yesterday's defeat put a lot of pressure on Haoda's heart. But after repairing the working hot air balloon, it was found that there were still sixty available, which gave some comfort to Haoda's already heavy heart.
Coupled with the burning arrows made yesterday, the vast at this moment is completely confident that he has beaten the Yiren, and he is ashamed!
"Fight!" Mao Wenlong said coldly.
"Yes, Commander!" Hao Da gave up his order, and then hurried away.
Soon after, sixty hot air balloons were seen rising from the pier, and without any pause, they rose directly to the highest point. Then he went straight to the army of the Yi people and the Japanese invaders.
Auf and Taro Shinno saw the hot air balloon of the Dongjiang Army coming straight towards them, and the two were stunned for a moment. Auf wondered, "Why is that?" Isn't the Dongjiang Army afraid of our arrow-beating attacks? ”
Shinno Taro shook his head and said, "I don't know, looking at this situation, the Dongjiang Army must have come prepared." Mr. Auf, it is better for you to be careful, lest you suffer a big loss and miss a big thing. ”
Auf hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "No matter what, I don't believe that Mao Wenlong can think of a way to crack our arrow attack in a short period of time. ”
Indeed, the hot air balloons of the Dongjiang Army were shot to the point that they were powerless to fight back only yesterday. Only one day passed, and Auf didn't believe that Mao Wenlong had come up with a way to crack it, and he was able to put it into action.
Without further hesitation, Auf immediately ordered an attack. Fifty warships faced the hot air balloon of the Dongjiang Army, and when these Yi people saw the hot air balloon of the Dongjiang Army, they did not realize that something was wrong, but they were very excited. thought that he could beat the Dongjiang Army again.
He was calculating the distance all the time, and with the lessons of the past, he had already made arrangements this time. The hot air balloons no longer swarmed up, but surrounded the fifty warships of the Yiren separately, and kept a safe distance at all times.
After the encirclement of the hot air balloon was in place, Haoda immediately gave the order and began the first attempt to attack. A thousand transformed flaming arrows shot at the Yiren warship at the same time, and for a while, there was a loud roar, and the scene was even more terrifying, and all the Yiren were dumbfounded.
