Chapter 467: Attack
Cao's soldiers arrived in Penglai.
The soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion guarding the island set off a wave of waves.
Some officers opened the market, and the soldiers placed bets one after another, betting on the heads they had obtained in the fight.
The gambling style is prevalent, and Yuan Xu did not stop it!
The morale is high and the confidence is soaring, and the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion will be like this!
Cao's warships advanced to a distance beyond the reach of the projection vehicle.
Looking at Penglai Island, Guan Cheng ordered: "The whole army is on standby!" ”
Ten giant warships lined up, and hundreds of flat-bottomed landing ships surrounded them in a semicircular array.
The two sides confronted each other from afar, and Cao's army did not attack.
The soldiers of the Tianhai battalion at the head of the city all clenched their longbows, eager to urge the Cao army to march towards Penglai.
The waves were rough, and the warships of the Cao army rose and fell in the waves.
Raising his arms, Guan Cheng shouted, "Giant ship forward!" ”
Ten giant ships moved slowly, while hundreds of smaller ships waited in place.
The Cao army's warships gradually approached, and the soldiers of the Tianhai battalion also stopped the catapult and the **** assembly.
A pair of eyes stared at the ten Cao Army giant ships that were approaching.
Everyone held their breath as they waited for the battle to begin.
The sea breeze blows the battle flag.
Flags are flying, hula is rattling.
"Childe, the war is about to start, and you will enter the city to command!" Ma Fei ran up to the city and came to Yuan Xu's side.
"I have been fighting for a long time, how can I leave the city?" Yuan Xu said: "Decree the night assassination, make preparations early." Together, the battle may capture the enemy ship! ”
"As soon as the war starts, there are many arrows, how can Childe be here?" Ma Fei persuaded again.
"If a certain commander is hiding in the city. What do the soldiers think? Yuan Xu said: "Needless to say, quickly pass the order to the night stab!" ”
Yuan Xu could not be dissuaded. Ma Fei had no choice but to give up.
Before leaving the city, he said to Zhao Yi: "Once you fight." Be sure to take care of your childe! ”
"General Ma, don't worry!" Zhao Yi said: "A certain bet is not placed, only by the side of the son!" ”
"Bet?" didn't know that the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion were gambling on the head of the enemy soldiers, Ma Fei was stunned.
"The Cao army is coming, and the soldiers are making bets." Zhao Yi said: "How many colorful heads are a head, some have more handicaps, and some have fewer handicaps. ”
"I see!" Ma Fei said: "I'm tired of General Zhao taking care of his son, and he will retire first!" ”
Seeing Ma Fei leave, Zhao Yi came to Yuan Xu's side.
"What are Ma Fei muttering to you?" Looking at the Cao Jun warship, Yuan Xu asked.
"Didn't say anything." Zhao Yi said: "I mentioned a handicap for betting on people's heads!" ”
"You didn't bet?"
"Nope!" Zhao Yi said: "I don't like to gamble. It's just killing. What's the best bet on? ”
When it comes to killing, Zhao Yi seems to be as plain as having rice in a bowl.
Yuan Xu smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.
The troubled times have risen, which of these people around him didn't crawl out of the pile of dead people?
Tianhai Camp and Night Thorn, most of them are veterans he brought back from the Central Plains battlefield!
escaped death, these people have long taken life and death lightly......
Cao's giant ship advanced slowly.
Seeing that it is about to enter the range of catapults and ****.
The horn sounded at the head of Penglai City.
The sound of the horn of "woo" fluttered far away, and the sound of the waves made it even more magnificent.
The soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion who were kicking the **** clasped their hands. Push your legs straight and wait for an order to shoot the arrow.
Next to each catapult were several soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion.
They had boulders at their feet, and they waited for the first stone to pop out and immediately loaded with new stones.
The Cao warship is getting closer and closer.
With the sound of a trumpet. The flag bearer of the Tianhai Battalion waved a large flag and conveyed the launch order.
Catapults, **** make a catapult sound.
Thick arrows and huge rocks staggered and fell, falling on the Cao warship in motion.
A boulder hits the hull. The solid bronze armor was smashed out of deep pits.
The arrows shot out of the ship carved holes one by one.
The warship advance did not fight back.
The walls are high. At a distance from the catapult and reach, launching from a warship is not enough to cause any damage to the sky and sea.
Hide in the cabin. Jia Xu was looking at the bow of the ship when a huge crossbow bolt flew over.
The bolt pierced the ship's plank, flew into the cabin, and was nailed into the opposite wall.
It was almost a crossbow bolt against his cheek.
Jia Xu only felt that his heart was beating violently, as if he was about to pop out of his heart.
Countless boulder bolts flew towards the warship.
Jia Xu saw with his own eyes a boulder smash into the deck, crushing several soldiers who had no time to dodge.
Before the Cao army could fight back, Jia Xu was about to bow down, when he saw another crossbow arrow flying over.
Seeing that the crossbow arrows were getting closer and closer, an eyeless Cao Jun happened to run over in a panic.
was nailed by a crossbow arrow, and Cao Jun flew up in the air.
Looking at this scene in amazement, Jia Xu didn't come back to his senses, accompanied by the sound of a crossbow arrow piercing the board wall, and Cao Jun was firmly nailed to the outer wall of the cabin.
The boulders and crossbow arrows thrown by the Tianhai camp flew all over the sky like meteors.
Although Cao's giant ship was strong, it was still smashed out of holes by boulders.
One of the large ships has entered the water and is slowly sinking.
The soldiers of Cao Jun on the boat carried pots and pots and jars, and desperately scooped water and poured it out.
Scooping up the water was as fast as flooding, and a few more boulders hit the warship, and the leaky ship sped up its sinking.
The Cao warship finally advanced into range.
"Pass the order, fire arrows, throw stones!" Squatting behind the side of the ship, the bearer roared loudly.
has been suppressed for a long time, and the soldiers of Cao Jun have long held back their strength.
Catapults and **** on the warship were launched one after another.
Facing the boulders and arrows shot by the Tianhai camp, Cao Jun launched a counterattack!
Huge stones smashed on the city wall, accompanied by bursts of smoke and dust, and the Penglai city wall was smashed out of small pits.
The arrows flew up to the city, and fell into the city from the heads of the soldiers of the Tianhai battalion.
Residents have long since returned to their homes.
The flying **** arrows did not cause too many casualties to the soldiers and civilians of Penglai.
The two sides fired at each other, and the Cao ships in the sea were of course at a disadvantage.
Their counterattack suppressed the projection of the Tianhai battalion, and the Cao army was in the rear, and the small boats that were ready to attack gradually moved.
The speed of the boat became faster and faster, braving the flying arrows and boulders, and rushed towards the Penglai city wall.
Pass through an area full of reefs and piles.
A couple of unlucky boats crashed into a reef very close to the surface.
More small boats paddled over the reef because of the lack of draft.
Cao Jun attacked, and Yuan Xu shouted: "Intercept Cao Jun's boat!" ”
Half of the **** and catapults changed their targets, and more soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion set up arrows on the bowstring, waiting for Cao Jun to enter the longbow range.
A small boat with a heavy plank on the bow quickly approached the city wall.
Arrows shot from the top of the city were blocked by planks.
Unless the boulder and ****'s arrows hit directly, the Cao army on the boat rarely suffered casualties!
With the crunch of the hull crashing against the wall, the front boat leaned against the wall.
The soldiers of the Tianhai battalion at the head of the city picked up the boulder and threw it at the foot of the city wall. (To be continued.) )
