Chapter 260: Water War (2)
"Woo woo woo woo..." On the Yangtze River, a distant horn sounded, and four medium-sized boats on the left and right of Ma Lan slowly advanced.
Zhao Long frowned suddenly, Ma Lan's large ship did not move forward, so it would be difficult to do.
"Big brother, what should I do?"
Zhao Long gritted his teeth, turned around and said, "Order, all the warships retreat and let them enter the barracks channel!" ”
Zhao Hu was astringent, and gave up the military camp to the enemy, so there was no place to defend it directly, if the siege of Malan failed, what should it be? Wouldn't it be to throw a good line of defense to the enemy?
"Big brother, most of the ships in our naval camp are fixed, and it is difficult to sail back for a while, and if we lose the military camp to the enemy, won't we be defeated?"
Zhao Long turned around and looked at the waterway in the camp, and immediately decided that his thoughts, retreating was the only chance!
Although there were many fixed warships in the battalion, most of them were small ships, all of which were connected together and divided into more than a dozen columns, and in the middle of those dozen columns, each pavilion had a channel several zhang wide for a distance, and this channel was only enough for Malan's large ships to advance, and the other warships would definitely be blocked out of the channel.
There is also a more important point, there are countless small warships in the camp, and Ma Lan's warship cannot turn around at all, as long as it comes in, it can only be beaten passively, and within half an hour, it will be defeated!
"Give the order, abandon the camp! Retreat! Zhao Long suddenly yelled, and after speaking, he didn't walk backwards with his head.
Zhao Hu and Zhao Li sighed, helplessly executed the order, the war drums sounded, and the horn of the retreating army suddenly sounded.
After a short time, Ma Lan's four medium-sized ships came to the front of the naval barracks, but there was not a single enemy on the ships of the barracks, which made everyone puzzled. There was no way, so they had to go back and ask Malan.
After a while, Malan's large ship advanced and came outside the barracks. He also felt strange, always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't find out what the problem was.
"General, the enemy has abandoned the camp."
Ma Lan took a deep breath and said sharply: "Pass my military order." The ship enters the barracks channel, and all the soldiers go to the deck to prepare for the enemy! ”
Ma Lan finally decided to enter Zhao Long's military camp, because after this military camp is Hexi County, as long as he goes ashore, he is not afraid of Wang Xu, although Zhao Long is a little abnormal today, but he believes that as long as he is careful, it will be fine.
.............
Behind the barracks, Zhao Long kept staring at Ma Lan with a telescope. Things turned out to be as he expected, all the enemy's warships entered the camp, and Malan's large ship was still the most important, although there were many ships behind Malan, but on both sides were blocked by small boats in the battalion, and the soldiers on both flanks of the enemy had no time to rescue.
After half a pillar of incense, Wang Xu called Zhao Hu and Zhao Li.
"Zhao Hu, Zhao Li listen to orders!"
"The last general!"
Zhao Long Zhengse said: "The two of you each lead two thousand soldiers to block the warships left and right of Ma Lan with all their might, and don't let them get close!" Every effort should be made to control the ships of the battalion column. ”
"No."
Now there are a lot of fixed small warships in the naval camp, so there is no need to send clippers to surround Malan. All you need to do is take the soldiers straight up, although it is on the water, but the ships are all connected in series, and the soldiers walk as if they were flat ground.
"Brethren. The time has come for us to counterattack, listen to my orders, attack the enemy's largest warship, and capture Malan alive! ”
"Kill!"
After Zhao Li and Zhao Hu attacked, Zhao Long roared loudly and began to sail towards Ma Lan's warship with all his soldiers.
There were also many enemy ships rushing in the naval camp. But Zhao Long didn't care, and ran towards the warship in the middle, four thousand soldiers entered the small ships on both sides of the column, and four medium-sized ships sailed vertically towards Malan.
There were 5,000 soldiers on each warship, and there were 20,000 people on these four warships, which was all Zhao Long's troops at the moment; During this time, he fought with Ma Lan, killing and wounding nearly 6,000 soldiers, of course, Ma Lan also suffered a lot of casualties, killing about 10,000 soldiers!
...............
"General, that kid from Zhao Long is back again!" A lieutenant pointed ahead and suddenly exclaimed.
Malan saw it too, but he was not afraid, for the ship he was on was a large ship, and the oncoming ship was only a medium-sized ship, and if there was a fight, he would have the upper hand.
Ma Lan said: "Order the soldiers, return fire immediately, the ship moves forward quickly, I want to see if it is his medium-sized ship that is solid, or the general's large ship is sharp!" ”
"Order!"
The two armies are getting closer and closer, Zhao Long has already held the spear in his hand, Zhao Hu and Zhao Li lead the troops to block the enemy ships on both sides, and he is responsible for breaking Ma Lan's large ships, so he has to fight in person!
Ma Lan's big ship suddenly increased its speed, Zhao Long was overjoyed, and immediately asked people to insert the mast into the bottom of the river and fix the boat in place, he knew very well in his heart that if a medium-sized ship collided with a large ship, it would definitely suffer, but it was different to insert the mast into the bottom of the river, and besides, there were three boats behind him, and there was no need to have it at all.
Not only that, but the closer Malan's ship was to his own ship, the easier it was to attack, and the soldiers on board could quickly climb up the rock, which would save a lot of trouble.
"This Malan is really looking for death!"
Zhao Long turned to look at the captain beside him and said, "All ready, as soon as the enemy ship approaches, you can start climbing, all the iron locks, ladders go straight to the enemy ship." ”
"In addition, we must inform the three boats behind, the gangplank is paved, the soldiers are gathering at this boat, and we must catch Malan with all our might!"
The lieutenants nodded excitedly, some of them went to the three boats behind to give orders, and some of them were ready to meet the enemy on the spot.
It's getting closer, it's getting closer...
Because Ma Lan's big ship was moving too fast, the huge waves on the river were several feet high, and they were extremely fierce, but no matter how fierce they were, they couldn't cause any damage to Zhao Long.
"Boom !!"
A violent collision thunder sounded, Ma Lan's warship finally collided with Zhao Long's warship, I have to say, the large warship is a cow, under this collision, Zhao Long's warship crashed back a few meters, this is still the result of inserting the mast, if the mast is not inserted, I am afraid that it will be hit a few feet back now.
At the same time as the two ships collided, Zhao Hu and Zhao Long also came to the two wings of Malan with their soldiers, they just set up a position, and did not take the initiative to attack, the sword and shield men and archers all aimed at the ships on both sides, as long as an enemy approached here, they would attack!
"Kill me!"
When the ship stabilized, Zhao Long suddenly roared, and then, behind him, countless soldiers rushed forward with iron locks and ladders in their hands, and Zhao Long, who took the lead, personally went into battle with spears and took the lead in attacking.
Ma Lan finally reacted at this moment, and also understood Zhao Long's intentions, he immediately shouted: "Quick, order the rear fleet to retreat, the archers shoot at the enemy ships, don't let them approach!" ”
Although Ma Lan's reaction speed was fast, but it was too late at this moment, Zhao Long hooked the iron lock to Ma Lan's dipping bed, and immediately put it on his own warship, if the enemy ship retreated, he could also follow tightly, just like glue, unable to separate.
"Whoosh..."The arrow feathers in the sky shot in the direction where Zhao Long was, Zhao Long was not afraid, the spear swung vigorously, and at the same time commanded the soldiers to start climbing along the enemy ship.
Ma Lan's ship is only more than a zhang taller than Zhao Long, if Zhang Meng is here, he can directly pick it up, but the soldiers are not as powerful as Zhang Meng, so they can only hook the iron lock to the enemy ship, and then grab the iron lock to climb.
The ladder can also play a big role at this time, and there are body logs on the deck, and the duel will not slip when placed on it, just like ordinary siege warfare.
No, it should be easier than siege warfare, because the height is only one zhang, and with a little effort, the soldiers can climb it. (To be continued.) )
