Chapter 1092: Fire Meteor
Once Cao Luxun thought about it, he subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyebrow bone, and looked at the enemy ships that were gathering in formation on the surface of the Heishui River.
I saw that nearly 100 enemy ships had slowly approached, and the hulls of the ships were next to the hulls, forming a line formation on the surface of the Heishui River.
Fire Attack !!
These two words flashed in Cao Luxun's heart, and a scene of a sea of fire appeared in his mind.
I saw that Steward Yu pointed to the enemy ships that were gathering in formation and continued to explain: "General Cao, you see, all the river boats of the White Lotus Sect are made of wood, and most of them are sailing, once our bed crossbow is shot on the canvas, deck, and mast of these river boats, hehe...... The result? It is bound to ignite, and then with the help of the river wind, the fire will burn the prairie and these river boats will be closely connected......"
"Ship to ship, wind blows, fire spreads...... Hahaha......"
Cao Luxun was already aware of it after being explained by the remaining steward, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Wonderful, really wonderful!" Steward Yu, you are still a step ahead, come on, let's also learn how to burn Chibi for 300 miles, and burn the river boats of this group of traitors and cults first. β
Steward Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and waved his hand humbly: "The old man is not a step above the level, hehe, the old man is just picking up the teeth and wisdom of his predecessors." If you want to say that you have a clever plan to calm the world, it must be Lord Guo of Pingyang County! β
"It's extreme," Cao Luxun corrected again and again, "General Ben once heard from Duke Wei that Lord Guo has never followed the rules when marching and fighting, and he often takes him by surprise and uses clever schemes. Today, Cao has seen it. β
After saying that, Cao Luxun suddenly beckoned to several black-armored Xuanbing soldiers nearby, and ordered: "Passing on the general's order, from now on, the remaining steward will temporarily take command for the general, and all the black-armored Xuanbing battalion soldiers will all obey the orders and commands of the remaining steward, understand?" β
"Whoa!"
Several black-armored soldiers ran to the bed crossbow defense line to pass on Cao Luxun's orders.
After hearing this, Steward Yu hurriedly surrendered his hands and humbled him, and praised again and again with a flattered look: "The black-armored Xuanbing is the most elite soldier in my Tang Army, how dare the old man usurp the dictatorship and exercise the right to command for General Cao?" β
For Cao Luxun to give over command so generously, not to mention the party Yu Guanshi, even Cheng Erniu, a bystander, was a little surprised.
Who knew that Cao Luxun was iron-hearted, and said without refusing: "Manager Yu, General Ben is telling the truth." You can command boldly and boldly, and if there is a need for someone Cao, you can just ask. From now until the enemy ships are repulsed, the three thousand brothers of the Black Armor Xuan Barracks, including General Ben, will obey your orders. β
This is really a very low profile, before he came, Steward Yu thought that he was coming to help the handle, but he didn't expect that Cao Luxun would let go of the entire command to himself, which he didn't expect.
For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.
"Newspaperβ"
A black-armored soldier rushed over from the bed crossbow defense line, rushed to Cao Luxun and hurriedly shouted: "The enemy ships have been assembled, and a hundred enemy ships are pressing towards the edge of our army's crossing in a straight formation. β
Cao Luxun squinted his eyes and glanced at the surface of the Heishui River, but no, hundreds of river boats were advancing in unison, and they were rushing towards this side in a formation. A hundred scattered river boats are now close together and gathered together, like a behemoth, approaching this side, and the momentum is very terrifying.
Immediately, Cao Luxun's expression was grim, and he said solemnly to Steward Yu: "Steward Yu, the enemy ships have begun to move to this side, and the war is about to break out, so you don't have to excuse yourself." From now on, the three thousand black-armored Xuan soldiers, as well as this general, will all be commanded and dispatched by you. I hope that you and I will cooperate sincerely to repel the hundred enemy ships in front of us and hold this first line of defense. β
Now that the situation is pressing, Yu Guan is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between priorities and urgency, Cao Luxun said it again, if he resigns, he will be a little pedantic and inflexible.
Immediately, he nodded his head in good words, then turned around and waved to a disciple of the Wind Thunder Hall not far away, shouting: "Bolt, you go and inform our brothers of the Wind Thunder Hall, from now on, our brothers of the Wind Thunder Hall will take over the bed crossbow, and let the brothers hold torches in their hands and be responsible for controlling the projection of the bed crossbow." β
Speaking of this, he turned his head to Cao Luxun and said, "As for the brothers in the Black Armor Xuan Barracks, I can only temporarily resign them to be responsible for supplying crossbow guns to load the bed crossbows. General Cao, what do you mean by ......?"
"No problem!"
Cao Luxun agreed without thinking, and then summoned a black-armored Xuan soldier to relay what Steward Yu had just said, and then advised: "Tell them that Steward Yu's order is the general's order." If someone dares to secretly disobey the order or disobey the yang and the yin, or relax and slack off and delay the war, hum, I will not be spared!! β
At this time, Cheng Erniu was not rubbing, and said goodbye to the two: "I'll go back to the city tower and report the situation here to my brother-in-law." β
With that, he left the ferry alone and returned to the castle tower.
After a while, a series of news from the forward position reached the ears of Cao Luxun and Steward Yu.
"Report ...... The enemy ships had reached the middle of the Blackwater River. β
"Report ...... Enemy warships continued to move closer to our side. β
"Report ...... The enemy warships remained unbroken and remained tightly connected, less than two hundred paces from our bed-crossbow defenses. β
"Almost!"
Steward Yu and Cao Luxun spit out four words in unison, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then Cao Luxun decisively remained silent and no longer exceeded his authority.
And Steward Yu hurriedly ordered at the herald: "Order, all the disciples of the Wind and Thunder Hall, immediately ignite the crossbow guns and start projecting them continuously. If there is no order from a certain family, there shall be no interruption in the middle of the journey. β
For a time, there were only crowds of people on the defense line of the hundred bed crossbows, and they divided their labor.
The black-armored Xuan soldiers were responsible for supplying the crossbow guns wrapped in rags and stuffed with torn cotton wool, while the disciples of the Wind Thunder Hall were responsible for lighting the crossbow and firing the bed crossbows, and while the torches were swaying, the first bed crossbow had already begun to be projected......
Chirp tweet......
A hundred flaming crossbow guns had been unloaded and sped away at the fastest speed towards the enemy ship group, and they rushed to land on the enemy ships like meteors with a sneering fire.
Or on the canvas, or on the deck, or on the mast, the slightest ignition will gradually spread the fire.
What's more, it directly hit the bandits on the ship, and the crossbow spear pierced through the chest, burning the whole person.
The crossbow soldiers roared in pain, and the whole person fled on the ship like a ball of fire, and the bandits who were so frightened that they were spared from being shot all fled one after another, fearing that they would be set on fire.
The first round of projection of the bed crossbow had the effect of deterring the bandits, and it immediately attracted a sensation from the black-armored soldiers on the defensive line.
"Keep projecting, without interruption, don't let the bandits have another chance to breathe."
Chirp tweet......
Another round of fiery meteors was projected towards the enemy ship colony.
The situation is very good!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
On the upper floor of the East Gate City, a group of generals watching the battle gathered around Guo Ye, nodding their heads in approval with surprise on their faces.
They didn't expect that the bed crossbow could still be played like this, and the long-range attack could also be played like this, which opened their eyes again.
And Guo Ye also looked happy, waved his fist again and again, and applauded loudly.
However, he was not carried away by the temporary victory, and he always remained awake.
After the joy and heat passed, he also secretly calculated another layer of worry......
