Chapter 478: Fierce Battle
Dehua City, in fact, is the Jiujiang of later generations. Therefore, in the east of the city, it is the famous Poyang Lake.
Therefore, this section of the river in the north of Dehua City can be described as extremely wide, and even in the northeast of the city, that is, the location of the mouth of Poyang Lake, there is also this extremely huge Jiangxin Island.
The location of this Jiangxin Island is excellent, next to the port daughter port at the mouth of Poyang Lake.
Therefore, it can be said that as long as you can board this Jiangxin Island called Nanzhou Island, the boat can easily drive into Dehua City.
Therefore, as early as when Zhang Mingtong led his soldiers and horses to the north bank of Dehua City, this Jiangxin Island was regarded by him as a must-take target.
However, at that time, Zhang Mingtong lacked boats and boats, so he could only look at the island and sigh. And after he got enough boats, Zhang Dingbian took the reinforcements under his command one step in advance, and suddenly sent an additional 2,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Nanzhou Island, which couldn't help but make Zhang Mingtong's previous wishful thinking completely fail.
Therefore, now facing the heavily defended Dehua City, Zhang Mingtong really has no means to use.
In the northern Xinjiang, the Long Xiang army galloped through the wilderness and no one could stop it, but in this southern water town, the Long Xiang army was a tiger in Pingyang, and it could not be used if it had the ability.
In this way, Zhang Mingtong had no choice but to bluff in the future, patrolling the riverbank every day to drill soldiers and horses, and making the appearance that he might attack Dehua City at any time, so as to deter the defenders of Dehua City.
At this time, although he firmly contained Zhang Dingbian, the Tiger of Tianwan, in this place, it did not have much effect on the main battlefield on Ruichang's side.
Therefore, in this way, in order to be able to win as soon as possible and end this national war, which cost the people and money, when 'attacking the head and shaking the morale of the army' did not have much effect.
In the next few days, the Chu army was full of wisdom.
First, he asked his crossbowmen to shoot arrows with calligraphy into the camp of the Tianwan army at night, disturbing the enemy's morale; Later, he also asked people to refute the rumors about Yuan Zhou, so that the Tianwan soldiers could understand that they had been deceived.
But 'you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder'.
Regarding Da Chu's tricks to disturb the morale of the army, Chen Youliang naturally has his own way of dealing with it. He doubled the number of military judges in the army and strictly investigated public opinion in the army. At this time, in the camp of the Tianwan Army, don't say rumors and sophistry, and even some people with good tongues and sharp teeth were mercilessly executed in public.
In this way, even though the atmosphere in the Tianwan camp suddenly became oppressive and terrifying. But this also made the soldiers of the Tianwan Army more afraid of military law.
So much so that under such circumstances, the Tianwan Army maintained its own affairs.
After all, compared to the bloody corpse that was executed for violating military law, the power of Chu Jun's language was too weak.
So in this way, Zhao Wei, who believes in the big husband's "rather take in the straight than seek in the song", simply no longer uses these tricks that he has always disdained.
Instead, he once again gathered his troops and horses and launched another attack on the Tianwan army.
……
"Kill, !!" "Boom! Boom! Boom! Knock knock! ”
The shouts of killing and the sound of war drums were so deafening at this time, and in the case of a long-term attack, Zhao Wei, as the commander, couldn't help but choose to personally lead the troops into battle, commanding hundreds of warships under his command, and frantically launched an attack on the Tianwan army.
"There is no advance or retreat in this battle, and those who waver in the banner and do not advance when they hear the drum will be executed!"
On the huge flagship, seeing that the two armies were about to meet each other, in order to be able to end such a war, Zhao Wei couldn't help but roar and gave such a death order.
As soon as the two armies approached the battle, the Chu army couldn't help but burst out of their crazy side.
……
"Kill!" After throwing a short spear with all his might, nailing an enemy general to the deck of the ship, he rushed to kill Wang XIX, who was still guilty at the forefront, and then he couldn't help but leap into the tiger and slash his knife on the enemy ship.
yes, he will wash away his humiliation with the blood of his enemies.
Think about it, since he and his own king started from the day of the Taihe Uprising, how could he have been so embarrassed in the past few years of crusade and west.
was scolded by the marshal in public; was court-martial before the Great Horde; was reprimanded by the king's edict; Even after becoming a guilty man, his position under the marshal's account was second to that of a new subordinate general like Wan Sheng. This kind of humiliation simply made Wang Nineteen almost want to go crazy.
So in these days, as soon as there is a chance to fight, Wang Shijiu will be like a desperate San Lang, taking the lead and forgetting to die to fight others.
"Die!" Wielding the blade in his hand and slashing the enemy to the head, Wang Nineteen, whose face was covered in blood, couldn't help but turn into a terrifying demon god at this time.
Seeing such a madman rushing towards him step by step, the Tianwan soldiers on the ship, who had no courage, couldn't help but throw away the blades in their hands in a panic, and knelt on the ground to surrender and save their lives.
However, Wang Nineteen, who was eager to kill all the heavens and the bottom, would not spare them because of this.
Looking at the Tianwan soldiers who were kneeling on the deck like lost dogs, Wang Shijiu couldn't help but stick out his tongue, cruelly licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then waved his hand to his subordinates and gave an order to kill them all.
"Poof! Puff!! "The heads flew up, and the blood from the neck rose to the sky.
All the soldiers on this standing ship couldn't help but be slaughtered by the Chu soldiers in an instant.
"Go on, next!" Throwing the steel knife that had been cut into his hand, Wang Shijiu said coldly, and he couldn't help but lead the army of soldiers under his command who were like hellish demons, and once again launched an attack on the new target he had found.
"Spare your life, spare your life!" "Poof!"
"Fight with this thief, brothers, kill!"
"Whoosh! Sou! Puff !! Relying on his own bravery and sharp bow, Wang Nineteen was like a roll call throughout the whole time.
All the warships that are targeted by him will inevitably escape their fate.
Either he was directly knocked into and sunk by Wang Nineteen relying on the huge flagship under his feet, or he was slaughtered by Wang Nineteen with a group of wolf-like subordinates with swords, bows and crossbows in his hands.
Therefore, after defeating the enemy's four warships in this way and ruthlessly slaughtering the soldiers for hundreds of days, the fierce Wang 19 couldn't help but be regarded as a thorn in his side by Tianwan.
"Kill, kill me, get me the head of the thief!"
Seeing the guy who was almost like an outlaw on a rampage, he once again smashed one of his own ships to pieces with the huge warship under his feet. Zhao Pusheng, the general of Tianwan who commanded the battle on the right flank here, couldn't help but roar angrily.
This guy who doesn't take his own and his subordinates' lives seriously at all, and sees people like mad dogs, Zhao Pusheng can't wait to cut him with a thousand knives at this time.
Although by this time, this madman had only defeated five warships under his command and killed and wounded more than 300 people.
But compared to this insignificant battle damage, the impact of this outlaw madman is really terrible.
Now, more and more soldiers on the Chu army's side have begun to follow this madman's example.
Especially when this madman discarded the armor on his body and led the soldiers to fight bare-chested.
Under its encouragement, the Chu army became a fearless warrior who forgot to die. One by one, they shouted "Meritorious service, in the present day", and then they charged and fought like crazy!
One husband surrenders to his life, and a thousand people are terrified!
When the Chu army was inspired by this madman, hundreds of people began to take their lives seriously. The front that Zhao Pusheng had worked so hard to build up was torn open by him in an instant.
At such a time, Zhao Pusheng couldn't help but regard Wang Shijiu as his number one target.
"Kill, !!" As soon as they received Zhao Pusheng's order, several warships on Tianwan's side couldn't help but give up their original opponents, and tacitly began to think about Wang Nineteen's flagship to besiege and kill them.
However, in this regard, Wang Shijiu, who was naked and covered in blood, did not show the slightest fear.
"Soldiers, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road. At this time, you dare to follow the general and kill this group of brave people! ”
"I am willing to fight with the general!!"
"Hahaha, good!" Laughing loudly, he took a pair of armor from his subordinates' hands and put it on his body, Wang 19 waved his knife and pointed, "Then follow the general, kill the enemy!" ”
"Kill !!" "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ……”
The deafening sound of war drums followed by the shouting of killing, and the warship, which was already full of scars, couldn't help but be like arrows from the string, carrying hundreds of bloodied, like hellish Shura-like soldiers, against the nearest enemy ship, and slaughtered it so straight.
"Damn it, quick, release the arrows, release the arrows!"
On this unlucky warship that was chosen by Wang Nineteen, the Tianwan Qianhu couldn't help but panic when he saw this.
The scene where Wang Nineteen led his subordinates to slaughter his comrades like crazy, this thousand-household official also saw it with his own eyes.
Therefore, even though there were still four warships around to help him, seeing that warship crushing towards him like a boulder rolling down from the hillside, the Qianhu official couldn't help but feel a strong fear rising in his heart.
"Whoosh!" He commanded the ship's more than 100 archers, and shot arrows at the approaching huge warship.
But at this time, how could the weak arrow stop the approach of the warship?
Therefore, when the thousand households trembled with fear, the warship couldn't help but come to dozens of meters away from him.
"Shoot the arrows!"
But the same order came from the ship, and the sound of the bowstring like a thunderbolt rushed towards him with a crack!
"Ahh
Even if he had been prepared for a long time, at such a close distance, the shoulders of the Qianhu officials could not help but be pierced by the powerful divine arm crossbow.
Even after the arrow fell to the ground, he felt a sharp pain in his right arm, and he couldn't help but lie on the deck of the ship and let out a heart-rending howl.
"General, General!" Seeing this scene, the guards beside him were also frightened.
However, under the constraints of the harsh military law of "the main general dies in battle, and the guards die", the guards couldn't help but suppress the fear in their hearts, and dragged the thousand households who were shot through the shoulders and lying on the ground howling miserably, to a relatively safe place.
"Fire oil bottle, throw!"
"What, not good!" A hundred household officials standing on the boat had not come back to their senses at this time, but a porcelain bottle filled with fire oil had already smashed on his ship.
Then his brain was almost blank, and before he could order his men to take out the fire extinguishing tools prepared on the ship, the burning torches couldn't help but slam into the deck full of fire oil like meteors falling from the sky.
"Bang, boom!!"
The blazing flames rose and rose on the deck in an instant, and the Heavenly Soldiers who were like headless flies could not extinguish the blazing flames at all. Therefore, in just a moment, the raging flames could not help but engulf the entire battlefield, so that a gust of wind blew, and people could clearly ask about the smell of barbecue.
"Damn, lean over, take over with them, and kill all these damn Chu thieves for me!" Seeing that he had lost another valuable warship, Zhao Pusheng, who was already angry, couldn't help but be even more angry at this time. Now he even wanted to rush over with his flagship in person and slash this commander of the Chu army who was rampaging in his own fleet.
But it's a pity that compared to Zhao Pusheng, who can't fight to the death, the group of generals under his account is far behind in this regard.
No, when I saw that another fellow warship was easily destroyed by Wang XIX.
The Tianwan warships that were originally heading straight towards Wang Nineteen's flagship to surround them couldn't help but be intimidated by them, and slowed down their ships one after another.
So much so that during this entire gap period, the two Chu warships, which were fierce by their own military commanders and had also become fearless of death, couldn't help but come to the left and right of the flagship where their own military commanders were located, so that Wang Shijiu, who was rampaging in the enemy fleet, was no longer alone.
……
"Collect the troops, collect the troops!" Tianwan Chinese army, looking at the right flank that was defeated by the Chu army and the left flank that was also gradually changing and difficult to support. Chen Youliang, who knew that if this continued, it was very likely that he would be defeated, and when the war had been going on for nearly two hours, he had no choice but to wave his hand and give such an order.
In this way, in the midst of the Chu army's bravado, the Tianwan Water Division, which was still intact in basic structure, couldn't help but break away from the battle situation in embarrassment.
"Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng !!" Deafening cheers rang out on the side of the Chu army.
Although this battle still failed to defeat the Tianwan army, such a victory undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the Chu army. It also made Tianwan's morale more and more depressed, and the atmosphere became more and more depressing.
