Chapter 83: Prelude to the Battle of Xiakou
Xiakou Port is an important town, almost connecting the north and south of Jingzhou, its value is naturally self-evident, it is precisely because of the importance of its existence that Li Shimin intends to kill the entire Jingzhou naval army in one fell swoop, so as to lay the foundation for the next recovery of Jingnan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The spring breeze in February is warm, but the Jingnan area is not like the spring rain like Yangzhou, but sometimes there are showers of rain, sometimes clear skies, and the speed of change is jaw-dropping.
The sound of "dong dong" drums resounded throughout the summer mouth, the people closed their doors one after another, and almost no one dared to show their heads in the streets and alleys, only some bastard idlers shuttled among them, as if they were waiting to see the excitement, so there was a good opportunity.
"The whole army listens to the order, the arrows are arrayed, and the shots are shot."
Qin Qiong gave an order, and more than 100 ships requisitioned in front of him were connected, and the rain of arrows formed an arrow lan, covering the flanks of Li Shimin's army in an array, but after all, the ships were covered by the edge of the ship, and the lethality was much less.
Li Shimin was in Cai Mao's army, but he couldn't let Qin Qiong go: "Jingde, you take the warship to the flank and take over the command, you can separate from our Chinese army and fight with the Wenpin army, but remember not to rush into battle." ”
"The last general commands." Wei Chi Jingde was wearing battle armor, his flaming red cloak was blown and hunting, and he stepped down from the boat with his sword in his hand.
"Xingba, you lead two hundred ships on the right flank, set up an arched formation, and sweep the enemy from the right flank, but you can't go deep, break the enemy formation, only arouse Cai Mao's anger, and the army will definitely cover the killing, then you will lead the crowd to turn back to the Chinese army, and we will kill the enemy later."
"The last general commands."
Gan Ning is eager for revenge, as long as Cai Mao's whole army is annihilated, then he can lead an army by himself, kill Wulin Port, and slash Huang Zhong's head.
The movement of the army is troublesome, but every ten ships have generals in charge, and it will not look cramped to move according to the flag of the Chinese army.
Wei Chi Jingde took over the left flank army, dispatched 150 ships, and the rest protected the 30 ships of the Chinese army to prevent the enemy from breaking through the encirclement and affecting the Chinese generals.
"Brothers, shoot back."
There are circular formations, arched formations, and sharp arrow formations on land, and water rush kills naturally have this kind of name, and Wei Chi Jingde is the sharp arrow array used.
As the name suggests, the shape of the arrow array is like a feather arrow, the front is densely packed with warships, and the rear is lined up, this formation is the most aggressive when rushing to kill, although Li Shimin does not let the enemy go deeper, but the arrow formation is slender, and the enemy can be scattered to both sides, and the enemy wants to concentrate on the attack is also wishful thinking.
"Brothers, release the arrows." The red flag in Wei Chi Jingde's hand was pressed, and the tip of the arrow was thrown out by the momentum, which was the phenomenon of arrows, there was no intensive blow, but the rain of arrows fell like a piece of silk cloth together, no matter what happened successively, it would fall in a straight line, causing concentrated damage to the enemy.
As a reinforcement, Qin Qiong will not command the Wen Qiong army, but Wen Qiong is self-aware, and his ability is much worse than Qin Qiong's, so he gave Qin Qiong full authority to deploy the army.
"The whole army obeyed the order, and every ten ships formed a small cone formation, and then my warship was the center to lay out a complete cone formation." It's complicated to say, but under the command of the banner soldiers, it's just a few simple actions.
The whole battlefield has not yet opened, but the local war in the two places is also very fierce, and the sound of soldiers shouting and killing is mixed with the sound of the drums of the Chinese army, making the people on the north and south sides of the strait tremble.
Wei Chi Jingde's sharp arrow formation had little effect, but the extended fleet could not be retracted for a while, and the left and right command flags in his hands were separated, and suddenly the left and right warships scattered to both sides and rushed in their respective directions.
Qin Qiong took the camp step by step, let all the soldiers hide under the edge of the ship, to avoid accidental injuries to the stray arrows, the ship's mobility is good, as long as the angle is adjusted, the next charge can be carried out soon with the help of the wind.
Qin Qiong saw that the enemy's front and arrow formations were scattered, and signaled the flag soldiers to raise the yellow flag and wave it, and suddenly the fleet marching in front of the arrow formation stretched out from the tips of the two wings, and after a while, it was spread out in an orderly manner, like a big peng spreading its wings.
Li Shimin stood on the bow of the Chinese army and saw it most clearly, and at this time he couldn't help but sink in his heart, it seemed that Wei Chi Jingde had met an opponent this time.
Qin Qiong's strength is 95, which is comparable to Wei Chi Jingde, but his command is slightly insufficient, and in terms of intelligence, Qin Qiong is a step higher, and the two sides can indeed be regarded as opponents in chess.
Qin Qiong personally led a large army to surround it, and the two armies suddenly collided in one place, Wei Chi Jingde saw that the enemy army was menacing, and he was not afraid, and he reached the last order under the yellow flag in his hand, and personally jumped off the bow of the ship, ordering the stern to approach the enemy's handsome ship.
The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and the right-wing army led by Gan Ning also swept over, advancing at two ends all the way, one static and one moving, relying on each other, and hurriedly approaching Cai Mao's army.
Wang Cang, who had been prepared for a long time, stood at the bow of the ship, and issued orders one by one, and suddenly the forward fleet was ready to teach Gan Ning a lesson.
The speed of the ships that went up against the current did not decrease, and they rushed into the enemy formation in a lump, and suddenly the two armies exchanged blows in one place, and from the sky it looked like a huge ball of leather hitting the cotton, deeply embedded in it.
Gan Ning held the bow and arrows in his hand, since it was harassment, there was no need to fight each other in short arms, the longbow in his hand was full, and every arrow had a pawn fall, and his own side was no better, some of the ships on the periphery were fixed, and the soldiers of Cai Mao's army boarded the ship to fight, and for a while, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the screams and the sound of fighting were mixed together, officially opening the prelude to the Battle of Xiakou.
The banner is unfurled, the soldiers are swaying the prologue with blood, this scene is happening in the Central Plains and even the whole world, no one can change it, just as the blackness of the human heart is difficult to tamper with.
Yu Chi Jingde jumped on Qin Qiong's warship first, holding a huge eight-sided exquisite lance in his hand, which looked like a black one, and I was afraid that the fish scale chain mail would not be able to withstand a stab.
The shape of the lance resembles a spear, but this eight-sided delicate lance has a total of eight blades, which is the limit of the lance, and I am afraid that the weight alone is daunting.
Wen Ping stood on the high platform, and saw that the lieutenant Chi Jingde below had killed many soldiers of his own army, and he was wearing armor and hanging cloaks, knowing that it was the enemy general, he roared and jumped down, and the long knife in his hand danced, wanting to kill him.
In close combat, Wei Chi Jingde was overjoyed when he saw that the person who came was Wen Ping, killing him was a great achievement, and he couldn't help but increase the strength in his hand.
The eight-sided exquisite lance is like a black dragon ascending to heaven, directly splitting Wen Ping's big knife into two, without dragging mud and water, the tip of the lance is castrated, and it is about to cut off Wen Ping's waist, but it is stopped by a strange weapon, and the power of the shock makes Wei Chi Jingde's mouth numb.
It turned out that the connoisseurs knew each other's abilities in their eyes, and Qin Qiong knew that it was not good when Wen Ping jumped down, so he took the cooked copper double mace and killed it, just in time to rescue Wen Ping from the ghost gate.
Wen Ping slowed down, but he had already lost the ** of fighting, and staggered back to the high platform to command, knowing that even if he went to help, it would only add to the chaos.
Wei Chi Jingde's mouth rubbed a few times, and then he felt a lot better: "A certain is the general Wei Chi Jingde under the command of Li Dudu of the Navy Army, and he will be a general." ”
Qin Qiong put on a posture and said in a deep voice: "I am General Dangkou under the command of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, please advise." ”
With a fight, both sides became cautious and made their own shots at the moment, but they both left some strength to make a test.
The two of them fought for twenty rounds, and then they began to output at full strength, Qin Qiong took the lead, and the cooked copper double gong in his hand was a short weapon, and he had already lost the opportunity, but the narrow hull of the ship just made up for this shortcoming.
The sound of gold and stone clashing is endless, and the two of them are fighting back and forth, and those soldiers can't intervene at all, so they can only watch in a daze.
With a sound of "drink", Wei Chi Jingde put the eight-sided exquisite lance behind his back, and with a huge wave of power, he pierced out of his left hand, hooking up the raw cowhide on the ground, which was torn apart by his long lance.
Qin Qiong's vision was blocked, and he hurriedly took two steps back, hugged his two gongs, and immediately separated, separating the raw cowhide that came to his face, and through the torn cowhide, he just saw the black mang, knowing that it was Wei Chi Jingde's long lance, he didn't dare to slack off, and he turned around under the drive of skill, held up the long lance, and passed through the shoulder dangerously.
At this moment, the sound of gongs striking gold came from Li Shimin's headquarters army, and Wei Chi Jingde knew that Cai Mao's army was about to cover up, so he hurriedly made a false move and got out of the battlefield.
