Chapter 458: Landing on the shore
Guo Zu was killed, and the pirate attack quickly collapsed.
The pirates who rushed onto the Sky Sea Warship had no fighting intent, and they reacted quickly and slid back to the pirate ship along the rope. Those who reacted slowly were slashed to the ground by the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion, and turned into bloody corpses in an instant.
Knowing that the general trend had gone, Guan Cheng hurriedly ordered to retreat.
The pirate ship retreated, and the heavenly warship immediately poured a rain of arrows and boulders.
Two more warships were sunk, and Guan Cheng led the remnants of the pirates out of range of the Tianhai warships.
Suffered setbacks one after another, the Tianhai warship was almost undamaged and Guo Zu was damaged, and Guan Cheng did not dare to attack easily.
The warship was inferior to men, unable to advance, and the management did not dare to retreat.
Cao Cao ordered him and Guo Zu to march to Penglai, but they were intercepted when they reached the mouth of the pansha, and if they returned, Xiangshang's head would definitely be lost.
Pirate ships are not very strong, but they are extremely fast.
It is difficult for the Tianhai warship to take the initiative to catch up.
Once the formation is out of order, Guan Cheng has the opportunity to lead the warship to break through the defenses.
Defeated the enemy army one after another, but he did not dare to move.
Zhao Yi, who returned to the flagship, carried Guo Zuren's head and stood beside him.
"General Zhao is brave, return to Penglai to ask for merit for the general!" Frustrated.
"Thank you!" Bowing his hand, Zhao Yi thanked him.
"The enemy army should not dare to come again after such a defeat." Tai Shi Gong said: "Can the frustrated prince have a strategy to break the enemy? ”
"In just two days, our army sank ten enemy ships, and Guo Zu was also killed by General Zhao." Fu Zhu said: "With such a defeat, Guan Cheng will not dare to come." Although our warships are strong, they are too large and heavy to be effective in attacking and destroying the enemy. Just stick to this place and don't let the bearer pass by! ”
Tai Shi Gong and Zhao Yi were silent.
After two days of fighting with pirates, they had already found out. The Sky Sea Warship has the advantage in fighting, but its speed is not as good as that of the Pirate Warship.
Hold your ground. It should be an excellent way to stop the enemy's advance!
Frustrated, Lian Po Guan Cheng, Guo Zu, and Cao Ren's Cao Jun took a fishing boat to force Penglai step by step.
Didn't pay attention to the fishing boats. The Penglai scouts missed the perfect opportunity to spot Cao Jun several times.
It was another night, and countless fishing boats approached Penglai under the cover of night.
As they were moving, the fishing boat stopped in front of them.
"What's wrong?" Finding that the front stopped, Cao Ren asked.
"It should be a reef or a stake." The fisherman whispered back: "Penglai is all around this thing, if you don't check, the boat will be destroyed!" ”
"Can I go into the water here?" Cao Ren asked.
"It's far from the coast, and if you go into the water for a few waves, you won't be able to shoot it."
Cao Ren didn't ask any more, but his face was very ugly!
Cao Jun came here on fishing boats, and there were as many as 10,000 people.
The Penglai warship set out to fight, and the garrison on the island had been greatly weakened.
Just stay close to the city. The possibility of breaking Penglai is great!
The reefs and piles along the coast blocked their progress!
The night was dark, and the two ships next to each other couldn't really see each other, let alone delusionally distinguish between reefs and stakes that were not visible during the day.
"You have been fishing for many years, do you have a way to avoid reefs and piles?" After a moment, Cao Ren asked again.
The fisherman shook his head: "The reef is hidden in the water, and it is difficult to find it when you are idle. There's no way around it! ”
The soldiers are already in Penglai, and if they are trapped by the reef, Cao Ren will not be able to explain to Cao Cao.
Looking at the black Penglai city wall. Cao Ren made a difficulty.
The night was getting heavier and heavier, but Cao Ren knew that he was a little closer to dawn if he delayed for a few more moments.
Once discovered by the Penglai defenders, the boulder and **** salvo. He will be even less able to get close to the walls.
"This place is not far from the city wall, can you build a pontoon bridge by connecting the ladders?"
Cao Ren's question made the fisherman look stunned.
"General, this is the sea, not the river." The fisherman said, "Don't say that the pontoon bridge can't be erected. Even if you put it up, you can't walk! ”
The face is like ashes. Cao Ren frowned.
Reefs block the way, is there really no way?
Cao Ren doesn't believe it!
But those who stand in the way. There must be a way to overcome it.
It's just that he is completely unfamiliar with the sea, and he can't think of a solution for a while!
Looking at the dark city wall, his ears were filled with the roar of the waves, and Cao Ren's eyes suddenly lit up.
He instructed the soldiers on the side: "Give the order to go down, tie the planks to the soldiers, and disembark hand in hand!" ”
The soldier was stunned.
Most of Cao's soldiers are not water-impregnable.
Don't say that in the sea, if there are no boats, even if you cross the river, it is difficult!
"Herald!" Seeing that the soldiers were stunned, Cao Ren urged.
In response, the soldier signaled the nearest ship.
Cao Ren's order reached the fishing boat at the front, and although he was full of refusal, the soldiers of Cao Jun had no choice but to tie a wooden plank to their bodies, hold hands and jump into the water.
The buoyancy of the planks keeps the Cao army from being submerged.
Holding hands and leaning on each other, even if someone can't stand the lapping of the waves, others can hold him back.
Cao Jun, who was impermeable, jumped into the sea and couldn't touch the bottom of the sea with his feet, and he was already panicked.
A few who know how to swim to the reef led the crowd.
The waves crashed on them, and those Cao Jun, who had wooden planks tied to their bodies, but could not find support because they were impassable from the water, couldn't wait to turn around and return to the boat immediately.
However, it was too late!
The companion who knew how to swim pulled them and had already entered the reef group.
The current near the reef suddenly turned sharp, and the rolling waves lapped against the slowly advancing Cao army, lifting some people up and slamming them into the sea.
The reefs and piles on the bottom of the sea are like a hammer, smashing on Cao Jun who was lifted and fell.
Some Cao Jun couldn't bear the pain and fell into a coma in an instant, and some of them were even more unlucky, and they were killed on the spot by falling their heads and brains!
Let go of the dead Cao Jun's hand and let them drift away with the river, the soldiers of the Cao Army, who could not protect themselves, could not care about the same ze's feelings at all, and could only watch their companions who had eaten in the same pot being swallowed up by the sea.
Entering the rapids, more and more Cao Jun fell to his death.
The corpse of Cao Jun, who was abandoned by his companions and floated away with the current, floated and sank a few times in the waves, drowning ******'s arms.
The soldiers of the Cao army, choked by the salty seawater, were out of breath.
Getting closer and closer to the city wall, seeing that he was about to reach the foot of the high wall, Cao Jun, who had experienced the baptism of waves and reefs holding hands, instantly gasped.
The wall they came to was half submerged in water.
Their feet still can't touch the bottom, they are still like duckweed floating in the sea, and their lives can only be destroyed by the sea.
Panicked, chaotic......
Cao Jun, who was impermeable, almost lost his rationality.
They desperately pedaled on the seawater, but they didn't know that the way they stepped on it was wrong, and they even drank a few more sips of seawater.
The sea is vast and powerful!
With a companion who doesn't understand water, after the baptism of the waves, Cao Jun, who knows how to water, is also exhausted!
The instinct for survival prompted them to wander to the side as best they could, looking for a place to stay.
Having lost some of his companions, Cao Jun at the front suddenly let out a soft snort.
His feet were on the ground, and they had finally found a place to stay! (To be continued.) )
