Chapter 683: The battle is in full swing

Hukou Qin military camp, here is the fortress place where the river and Pengli Lake are connected, and it is also the central place to go down the river to Hengshan and cross Pengli Lake to contact the south of Yuzhang.

Gongziyou wants to occupy this place, but also has his own considerations, the focus of Qin's defense in Pengli Lake, Wu can also see it, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is closely integrated.

If Wu State captures Qin's Hukou camp, it is equivalent to directly cutting off Qin's Pengli defense line, and even for the Hengshan fortress faced by Chu State, it is a great constraint!

The importance of the Hukou fortress can be imagined!

Although the prince was the chief general of the Wu army who attacked the Hukou fortress for this time, it was Sun Ao who actually commanded the Wu army.

Sun Ao, as Sun Changqing's younger brother and deputy general, his ability to arrange troops and attack cities should not be underestimated.

In particular, the soldiers of the Wu army are accustomed to seeing the monstrous waves of the East China Sea of Wu on weekdays, and they are naturally familiar with the small winds and waves at the mouth of the lake.

Therefore, while Sun Ao sent soldiers and horses to cut down bamboo and build rafts, he also sent troops to attack several tooth fortresses around the fortress at Hukou.

The soldiers led by Sun Ao were extremely fast, and the time when the soldiers and soldiers of Wu were able to dive and swim half a pillar of incense under the river really allowed Sun Ao to take the opportunity to seize a thousand-person tooth plug around the mouth of the lake.

It was also taken advantage of this to rob a number of ships, including a double-storey ship of the Qin State.

When the prince heard the news, he hurriedly rushed to the front line to supervise the battle, on the one hand, he urged Sun Ao to lead his troops and horses to board the ships of the Qin State, and on the other hand, he also stepped up his contact with Sun Changqing's department, which did not exist in the rear, in an attempt to suppress the whole army.

Now it is the peak time when the southeast wind is blowing, the sails are raised, and the lake mouth and river are several miles wide from east to west, and Wu Jun sails with the wind, almost within the blink of an eye!

"It's really time to help me Wu Jun!"

When the prince on the bank of the Yasai River saw that Sun Ao had already led the army to touch the Qin army camp and was only a stone's throw away, his expression could not hide his excitement at the moment.

The importance of the Hukou camp can be seen by the Wu people, how could the Qin State not know that the Hukou Fortress was specially built by the Qin State to defend against the enemy in the direction of Yuzhang.

It can be said that if Jing Guo owned the current Hukou Fortress a few years ago, the Wu State that had sent troops from Yuzhang would definitely have no opportunity to take advantage of it, and the worst thing would not have been for the Wu State soldiers and horses to attack the city of Yingdu in just a few days.

The Hukou Fortress relied on the natural danger of the river, even if the time was favorable to the soldiers and horses of the Wu State, but the geographical advantage was held by the Qin State.

Hukou was arranged by the Qin State with 30,000 soldiers and horses, among which there were countless strong bows and crossbows.

Although Sun Ao led people to break into the Hukou fortress by a stone's throw, he had already discovered that the arrows of the Qin army were surging like a torrential rain.

This made Sun Ao very shocked, although the two sides were already only one stone's throw away, but it was only the edge.

Wu Guo's bow and arrow shot at such a long distance, it must be a lack of follow-up, let alone shooting through the armor, even if it touches a person, I am afraid that it will not be accurate.

But the arrows of the Qin army came like a torrential rain, and then the soldiers of Wu on the ship fell one after another like cutting leeks.

Some even Qin's arrows pierced through the armor and sank into their own vital points to a depth of half a foot!

"The bow and arrow of the Qin army are actually so powerful!"

Sun Ao was not only frightened, but also ordered the Wu soldiers to prepare arrows to return fire.

Because it was a tailwind, the range of Wu's arrows was also a little more, but it only rubbed against the edge of the Hukou Fortress, which was blocked by the tall Hukou Fortress wall.

"Bow and arrow engagement is not an army's forte!" Just by glancing at it, Sun Ao was sure that he would definitely not be able to continue to fight with the Qin army.

Therefore, Sun Ao glanced left and right, and finally found a flaw in the Qin army's Hukou fortress camp.

It was a water gate on the left, which was ordered by Sun Ao to drive some Wu soldiers to drive small boats to directly attract the attention of the Qin army, and he led the army to kill the water gate!

"Command your own soldiers, as soon as they get close to the water gate, they will immediately ignite the pine resin ointment on the ship!"

Sun Ao immediately decided, it is naturally impossible to build a wall with earth and stone for the water gate, and the water surface cannot bear such a large weight, so he can only choose wood.

The wood is afraid of burning fire, so Sun Ao would rather give up a little of his own soldiers' lives, but also take the opportunity to open the gap in the fortress at the mouth of the lake.

The arrows of the Qin army were like torrential rain, and the catapults were throwing boulders at the river one after another.

The Wu army suffered heavy casualties, but several ships loaded with pine resin ointment passed through the dangerous area.

It was at this time that the Wu ship burst into flames.

Pine resin ointment is flammable, just a little spark, and it will be a fire in an instant!

The flames on the river were several zhang high, and it was the Song Dynasty, the general of the Han naval army, who guarded the fortress at the mouth of the lake, and immediately realized that the goal of the Wu army was to break through the water gate.

"Not good!" The Song Dynasty, who was alert, also hurriedly recruited a 3,000-strong general to take people to support the Shuimen camp.

However, the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and Sun Ao's army was already smooth sailing, so he naturally hit the ship on top of the camp with lightning speed.

These are small ships, and if they are bumped into them, they are naturally understandable, but what is fatal is the pine resin ointment on these ships!

The fire suppressed the Qin soldiers and couldn't get closer, Sun Ao also took advantage of the situation to break through the water gate with a boat, and the Wu soldiers also got off the boat one after another to hand over to the Qin army!

"Good!" Just see Sun. Ao led the army to break through the water gate of the Hukou fortress, and the prince was also extremely excited, praising Sun Ao and saying: "Sun Ao is really brave!" ”

"All the soldiers board the ship and kill the enemy!" The prince friend also ordered the soldiers who were guarding him to support Sun Ao, and then the prince friend said: "Send someone to inform the general, saying that our army is already victorious, and it has always been to support!" ”

The prince is already convinced that as long as the general Sun Changqing rushes over, he will be able to grasp the initiative advantage of the Hukou fortress and then break through the Hukou fortress.

But the prince would never have thought that Sun Changqing, who thought that he was only thirty miles away, was actually Poyang, which was three hundred miles away.

And Sun Changqing of Poyang, his face was also extremely unkind at this moment, looking at the Qin soldiers who suddenly rushed over on both sides, Rao is calm Sun Changqing also punched the trunk next to him.

If it is said that Hengfeng, Fandi and Yu Gan, Sun Changqing also revealed the news to the soldiers and princes, then this attack on Poyang is really Sun Changqing buried in his stomach alone, and he has never mentioned it to anyone.

But even so, the Qin army stationed in Poyang seemed to have gotten the news in advance, and was ambushing in this place where the terrain was extremely unfavorable to their side.

Pressing the sword at his waist, Sun Changqing's gaze finally swept over the battlefield, there is no doubt that the battle situation is extremely unfavorable to his side!

"Isn't it true that there are people in this Qin army who have no last resort, but...... How is this possible! ”

The rapid rout on the battlefield made Sun Changqing also come back to his senses, and he almost gritted his teeth and ordered: "Withdraw the army!"
