Four days later, the warship of the warship slowly entered the Hulu Bay of the Lancang River. Top ⊙

Thinking that there were still ten miles to reach Lincang City, Fu Guozhao immediately boosted his morale, "The little ones, all of them are in good spirits, and they will enter the boundary of Lincang City immediately, maybe the scouts they sent have already noticed us." ”

Before Jian Guozhao's words fell, the soldiers in front immediately came to report, "Oh no, it seems that someone has put down a hidden pile on this section of the river, and the boat in front is stuck." Also, the enemy seems to be waiting for us in front."

Hearing the news, Jian Guozhao was both happy and worried, and hurriedly asked, "They dare to come out to fight a water war?" How many ships does the other side have? ”

The strength of Lincang City, Jian Guozhao had known for a long time, and he never thought that Su You would rise to the challenge.

In other words, since Su You chose to fight a water war, isn't this a send-off?

Sadly, this section of the river was covered with stakes, and if their boats wanted to rush over to clean them up, they had to get rid of the stakes, or they would have to use catapults to bombard them.

Jian Guozhao obviously has no pressure on the situation of confrontation, but the fly in the ointment is that the enemy can see the opportunity to escape, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream if he wants to chase them.

"They only have a dozen ships, and they don't mean to get close!"

"Didn't mean to get closer?" Ji Guozhao was stunned for a moment, and immediately said categorically, "Pass my order, the ships in front of the catapult are ready, and once they get close to the range, they will immediately start bombing." ”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of cannons like thunder in front of him, followed by dozens or hundreds of shells flying towards his own ships.

"What is this?" Jian Guozhao didn't expect that the ground would start attacking from such a distance, and immediately shouted, "Be careful to avoid those iron balls."

It's a pity that the voice of Ji Guozhao has long been drowned out by the sound of cannonballs exploding.

After the rumbling sounded, some of the soldiers were killed on the spot, and many of the ships began to burn out.

On the side of the country, he didn't even see the enemy's face clearly, so he was attacked in a round.

The soldiers of the Zhao Kingdom who were tragically attacked were already panicked, and they only cared about extinguishing the flames caused by the shells, and the sound of cannon fire came from the opposite ship again

Su You was standing dozens of feet away on the bank of the Lancang River at the moment, condescendingly watching as if Guozhao's fleet could advance or retreat.

"This is what you call artillery? It's amazing! Li Mi, who was beside Su You, looked at the two rounds of artillery, and less than two hundred shells made the army of Jiao Guozhao turn people on their backs, and suddenly looked at Su You like a monster.

At this time, Li Mi's heart didn't have his own reverie? - If these artillery pieces reach the Central Plains

After the second round of artillery attacks, Su You drew out the long knife on his body and shouted loudly, "Honk!" Catapults begin to attack the ships in the river, and the bows and arrows form defensive formations and prepare for battle! ”

"Wouldn't it be too early to expose us now?" Li Mi muttered, wanting to give Su You a suggestion; But the soldiers shouted in response, and the sound of a third round of artillery on the river suddenly drowned out his voice.

The small hill where Su You is located happens to block the official road leading from Lincang City to Dali; But the most comfortable way to travel between Lincang and Dali is obviously by boat, and it's the middle of summer, and the roads are lined with lush trees.

If it weren't for Su You and the others being exposed, it would obviously not be easy for the Xijiao army on the river to find them.

It is also strange that Guozhao is too arrogant, not only did he not detect the situation on the river during this march, but he did not even find Su You and others who were ambushed on the bank.

When he found that there were mud balls flying from the shore, he found this army of more than 1,000 people dozens of feet away.

"It's a self-defeating one!" Seeing Su You facing his 20,000 army with more than 1,000 people openly, he was really angry, and then shouted viciously.

The "general" watched round after round of artillery fire and mud balls in the sky, and the guards of the country were holding shields and arching closely beside him, but they still trembled after looking at the bombs that exploded around them.

"Pass the order down, don't worry about the boat stuck in front! The rear team did the front team, and they all rowed the boat to the shore two miles upstream! He immediately shouted, and then under the protection of the guards, he crossed one ship after another and went upstream.

After getting off the boat, he immediately turned over his horse, quickly gathered his troops, and assembled in front of Su You's array.

Jian Guozhao obviously wanted to take advantage of the advantage of cavalry against infantry and rely on the huge number of cavalry to crush Su You's small but arrogant army.

"Look!" Fu Guozhao waved his horsewhip, pointed at Su You's team behind the bushes and smiled contemptuously, "Look at them, their armor is gorgeous, their swords and guns are shiny, and then look at their clothes, look at their boots. The boots are polished and dusty, what kind of army is this? ”

Xi Jiajun immediately laughed and said nonchalantly, "They are Brother Gongzi." "They are pampered and cannot suffer." "Are they really here to fight?"

Although all the words of contempt were exhausted in the language according to the meaning of Jian Guozhao, how could these people forget that Su You relied on 4,000 people to defend the Burmese Ning Pass, but in the end he defeated Duan Ruqi's 80,000 coalition army?

For the laughter of the soldiers, Jian Guozhao was extremely satisfied, immediately pulled out his long knife, and shouted, "Brothers, we still have more than 10,000 people, now rush over together, whoever grabs the weapon and armor will belong to whom!" ”

"Is this the rhythm of the autumn wind?" Su You couldn't help but smile contemptuously as he listened to the chanting of the opposite Guozhao.

This kind of cry appeared again in the late Tang Dynasty, and the Imperial Forest Army of the late Tang Dynasty was stripped naked in this kind of shout and became a pile of bones. It has also appeared in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The only two armies in Chinese history that were fully clothed and armoured were easily annihilated, resulting in a prejudice and fashion that did not pay attention to the protection of soldiers' armor.

However, Su You's gorgeous army is different from those troops who pay attention to superficial kung fu, he trains the army, not for quilt folding competitions, because he knows that the combat effectiveness of the army has nothing to do with whether or not to fold quilts.

What Su You pays the most attention to is the physical training of the soldiers.

Su You has reason to believe that although he has few soldiers, because his soldiers are well-equipped and have more nutrition in peacetime, this means that every one he trains is a special soldier, and the individual combat ability of his soldiers is all one against a hundred.

"Abandon the catapult and prepare for the crossbow shot." Seeing the Xijiao army rumbling and charging, Su You gave the second order in a leisurely stroll.

"Our tripping rope and rejecting the horse will be fine, right?" Li Mi looked a little conflicted at this time, he found that it was useless to stay by Su You's side, but because he failed once, he was timid.

All the enemy's actions seemed to be within Su You's calculations, and he knew that there would be such a charge from Jian Guozhao three days ago. Therefore, Su You had already dug a small pit thirty zhang in front of him, made a tripping rope, and made various rejections of horses with wood.

Seeing that Guo Zhao's cavalry rushed towards him, Li Mi was still a little satisfied with his formation, and so was Su You.

The cavalry of Xijiao, under the personal command of Jiaguo Zhao, formed wave after wave of huge waves; In the process of galloping, they naturally formed a straggler line with a hundred horses as a row, and rushed towards the small slope where Su You was located like a series of waves.

However, Su You's rejection of the horse was thirty zhang away from him, but it was a hundred zhang away from the starting point of the charge of the soldiers of Ji Guozhao.

Placing a rejection horse at a distance of 100 zhang is worthy of the universal standard that continues to the era of machine guns.

When the soldiers rushed to the rejection of the horse, they unconsciously slowed down their riding speed and prepared to jump the obstacles, but most of the horses that crossed the rejection stepped into the deep pit that Su You had ordered someone to dig or fell in front of the tripping rope.

Su You's purpose was obviously not to watch the failed equestrian performance of the Xifu army, and with a wave of his big hand, the more than 1,000 soldiers who had been hungry and thirsty immediately let go of their hands that were tightening the bowstring.

More than 1,000 arrows fell on the head, and several rows of the Xijiao army, which was still near the rejection of the horse, were immediately shot down.

The charge of thousands of people did not even come close to the distance of twenty zhang from Su You.

Then, Su You's hand ruthlessly shot a second round of arrows; Wave after wave of forward impact was crowded before the rejection of the horse.

After all, horses are not intelligent animals, they suddenly stopped in the middle of running, and suddenly became agitated, some collided with each other, and some directly inserted the iron spikes that rejected the horse, and suddenly became a sculpture in the battlefield.

The trembling of the bowstrings was like a song of countless unichores, and the rain of arrows shot at the cavalry in front of the rejection, and the follow-up soldiers had to climb to the top of the rejection horse with the corpses of their compatriots. With their spears and spears, they frantically slashed at the horses, trying to pass through the death zone quickly.

The Xijiao army in the rear immediately used the longbow on their bodies to counterattack in vain, but unfortunately the bow they used was not only eliminated by Su You, but the most frustrating thing was that they were on the horse and down the slope at this time.

In the Western Army, the farthest arrow shot was also seven or eight feet away from Su You.

For the arrows that landed scattered seven or eight feet away from him, Su You obviously didn't pay attention to it.

After another round of bows and arrows was fired, Fu Guozhao saw that he had lost three or four thousand people in the effort of Zhan Cha, and immediately ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops; And Su You just confronted them, just looking at them with a smile.

As soon as he was about to rejoice that Su You had no strength to fight back, he suddenly heard a burst of cannonballs, followed by the sound of many cannonballs exploding one after another.

Seeing that the ships in the river were sunk one by one and burned out by fire, Fu Guozhao sighed, "Temporarily retreat!" ”

Su You had less than 2,000 troops on land and less than 500 troops on board, so it was obviously impossible to pursue Ji Guozhao.

But Su You still laughed with relief at the moment, I am afraid that Guo Zhao is going to kill horses for food tonight.

Without food, how many days can he hold out outside Lincang City?
