Chapter 403: Cutting the Village
It was the beginning of June, and the weather was getting hotter, but there was a cool breeze on the river.
Going down the river, there were elite sailors trained by Li Jun and others to support the boat, which set off from the Zhenrong army in the morning and arrived in the territory of Western Xia in one day, advancing more than 200 miles.
The sun has not yet set, but the sunset does not shine into the Wuyan Gorge, the light on the river has dimmed, and only the afterglow above the canyon indicates that the sunset is still there.
Chao Yong stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the scenery on both sides.
If there is no war, these canyons are great places to go boating. A flat boat, green mountains and green waters, how comfortable.
Han Shizhong and the others also wanted to indulge in the mountains and rivers like the prince, but they had no choice but to sail through the canyons, and several people always involuntarily stared at the canyons on both sides to see where the Western Xia soldiers and horses might be hidden.
However, the peaks on both sides of most of the Wuyan Gorge are far from the river, and it is difficult to attack the river from the mountains. Only a walled fort built on the surface of the water can cover the water with a stone thrower.
"Reward the routs of the mouth."
Chao Yong heard the prestige, and saw dozens of figures on the river valley road ahead.
The Western Xia rout also spotted the fleet of ships going down the river and climbed up the valley next to it.
Yao Pingzhong said: "Prince, do you want to go to the shore to kill them?" ”
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "We can't wipe out all the Xixia people who cut off the village, since the news is always going to leak out, we don't have to waste time, and we go down the river, even if Xingqing Mansion knows the news, it may not take thousands of us in our eyes." ”
As time passed, the light in the canyon became dimmer and the bow of the boat had to hang up the lights.
The wind in the canyon also became colder, and Chao Yong also took Han Shizhong and a few people into the cabin to rest.
The army will sail overnight, and the night wind on the river will be colder. In order to prevent the soldiers from contracting the wind chill, many blankets were prepared in the ship to block the wind.
Although Chao Yong was strong and strong, he didn't dare to blow the wind all the time.
While everyone was taking a nap in the cabin, the bow sentry came in and reported: "Prince." The village is coming. ”
Chao Yong walked to the bow of the boat and saw a row of fires on the river bank in front of him, apparently with torches planted in the city wall. It is very eye-catching in the dim canyon.
"Dock."
Chao Yong gave an order, and Li Jun, the mixed river dragon who personally supported the boat, slowly approached the boat to the riverbank.
This time, the sailors of the fleet were led by Li Jun, the dragon of the mixed river, Tong Wei of the cave, Tong Meng, the mirage of the river, Zhang Heng of the boat, Zhang Shun of the white strip in the waves, Ruan Xiaoer of the Standing Tai Sui, Ruan Xiaowu of the short-lived Erlang, and Ruan Xiaoqi of the living Yan Luo, and only Liu Menglong was left in charge of the domestic grain and grass transfer.
The movement of the soldiers and horses assembled outside the village naturally could not hide the guards of the village, and rockets shot down from the city, burning in the open space, dispelling the darkness in front of the village, so that the soldiers and horses of the Great Liang could not touch them.
When the Bounty Movement is attacked. As usual, the rear of the village was notified. The guards did not dare to be negligent, and immediately strengthened their defenses.
Chao Yong decided to repeat the old trick, but this time there were more people involved.
Zhang Qing, Li Kui, Ou Peng, Ma Lin, Tao Zongwang, Jiao Ting, Xiang Chong, and Li Gon also came to join in the fun.
The 1,000 regiments of players led by Li Kui are the first in every war and have made a lot of contributions, Jiao Ting, Xiang Chong, and Li Gon have all been promoted to commanders, but they are still Li Kui's deputies.
Although the rocket illuminates the front of the wall, it also exposes the range of the archers.
Chao Yong walked a few steps away from the rocket, lit the fire and thunder, and threw it at the wall.
"Boom"
"Boom"
"Boom"
There was a loud bang. The firelight flickered, the screams continued, and the torches on the wall were blown away a lot, and the light on the wall was dimmed a lot.
"Shoot the Arrow"
The archers outside the blast range also shot their bows and arrows in panic. I want to drive away fear.
Chao Yong threw three in a row, and the city was in chaos, and most of the people panicked, and they didn't know where it would suddenly explode. Who would like to stay in the city and shoot arrows?
Han Shizhong and the others took the opportunity to run a few steps forward and threw the fire thunder in their hands.
After a dense explosion, there were no more bows and arrows on the walls.
"The team player comes forward."
Li Kui is addicted to playing. Holding a fire fold in one hand and a fire thunder in the other, he threw it in while running, and the last one was thrown directly on the gate of the village.
"Boom"
The fire and thunder smashed into the gate of the village and bounced more than a foot away before exploding, startling the players of the regiment who charged forward.
"Phew"
Li Kui, who took the lead, was closest to the place of the explosion, and he ate a mouthful of soil, but he was not afraid, and the wind was blowing under his feet, and he soon rushed to the gate of the wall, and slashed the gate with two axes.
Li Kui's board axe is sharp at cutting people, but it is much worse when used to chop and chop the walled gate. Although Li Kui did not cut the city gate once, Li Kui, who was fierce by nature, was never tired of it, and once he attacked the city, he would inevitably slash the city gate frantically.
As soon as the gate opened, Chao Yong caught a glimpse of more than a dozen war horses rushing out.
If the current team player is hit by a galloping horse, he will not die or be seriously injured.
"Get out of the way."
Chao Yong yelled, squeezed away the team players in front of him, and rushed forward.
"Bang"
The next horse was kicked by Chao Yong from the side in the neck of the horse, and neighed and rammed into the war horse behind. The war horse behind suffered this collision and also fell to the ground.
"Drink"
Li Kui didn't panic, threw the axe in his hand, twisted his arm ring, and knocked down a rushing war horse.
The horses that rushed out instantly collided into a ball, blocking the gate of the wall, and not a single horse rushed out.
By the time the group players got rid of these war horses and entered the village, the Xixia people who could run in the village had no shadows, and only the bald people who were injured and couldn't run were left.
Rampage war horses can be seen everywhere in the village, and I don't know whether the Xixia people didn't close the war horses, or deliberately released war horses to block the pursuers.
Many of the wounded soldiers of Western Xia were knocked down by their horses and trampled to death.
Chao Yong waited outside the village for a while, and saw that the war horses in the village had calmed down, and then led people into the village.
By this time it had completely darkened, and many of the torches on the city walls had been blown away, and two fires had been ignited.
"Tao Zongwang, you put out the fire. The army buried the pot and cooked, and after half an hour, it was opened. ”
With an order, the army entered Dazhai in an orderly manner.
Soon, the fire in the village was extinguished, but hundreds of bonfires were started instead.
Although it was June, the soldiers still gathered around the campfire to dry their damp clothes.
Walking on the river for a day, although they are all big boats, they can't splash water, but the water vapor on the river still makes the soldiers' clothes a little damp, if they don't dry it, they will sail overnight, the humidity at night will be heavier, and I am afraid that many people will be infected with the wind cold.
The army did not nibble on the dry rations they carried, but ate a hot dinner.
Even under the two villages, one person was not injured, and the soldiers were all in good spirits, and they were not tired from sailing for a day. (To be continued......)
