Chapter 62: The Feast of Flesh and Blood That Begins Soon

"You ......" No matter how cunning Ren Yang Shang is, but in the face of Li Su's rogue methods, there is no way at all, his face has changed several times, and finally he said with a dejected face: "Your Highness, people can give it to you, but I will only give you a maximum of three thousand, and you must also promise me that if you see that things are not right, you must withdraw immediately!" ”

"Haha~, no problem, don't worry, even if I die, I will definitely die behind you, and I will never let my father blame you!" Li said without hesitation. Three thousand is three thousand, anyway, his five thousand is also what he said casually. As for how many enemies were there for the landing? How many people do you have to use to block each other? These Li Su don't know any of them, anyway, if they take one step at a time, even if they can't stop the other party from coming ashore, they can kill one more enemy, and then they can have less pressure when defending the city.

Hearing Li Su's unreliable answer, Yang Shang smiled even more bitterly, but his actions were very fast, and he quickly mobilized three thousand people, and according to Li Su's requirements, these three thousand people were all cavalry, plus three hundred palace guards, a total of three thousand three hundred.

Li Su looked at the three thousand soldiers in front of him, and his face also showed a rare perseverance, and he shouted violently: "Hu Sima! ”

"The last general!" Aunt Hu, who came with him, immediately hugged her fists and went out of the ranks, Li Su was going to go to the battlefield, and Aunt Hu, who temporarily took the position of Sima, naturally wanted to follow, and with her by Li Su's side, Wen Xin was also relieved of the safety of her husband.

"This king will now hand over these 3,000 people and the palace guards to you to command, and after leaving the city, everything will be arranged by this king!" Li Su commanded sharply.

"The last general obeys!" Aunt Tiger clasped her fists and saluted.

With Li Su's order, all the soldiers turned over and got on their horses. Then Li Su was the first to ride out of the city gate, followed closely by three thousand cavalry, like dragons, and the target was the dock in the north direction of Dengzhou.

The naval battle outside Dengzhou City has also entered a white-hot class, and as soon as the Dengzhou naval army led by Liu Ju came into contact with the other party, there was immediately a collision of blood and fire, and the warships of both sides had just entered the range of bed crossbows. The characteristic 'buzzing' sound of the bed crossbow on the building boat was incessant, and with each sound, a spear-like crossbow arrow was fired. The destructive power brought by these powerful giant crossbows is also extremely amazing. Almost even the thick planks can be pierced, and if the misfortune hits a person, it can only wish him happiness in the next life.

The power of the giant crossbow is amazing. However, after all, it was only a point-to-point strike weapon, and the damage to the warship was limited, so although both sides caused some casualties, it was only a prelude to the start of the big war.

The warships on both sides increased their speed to the fastest, and then slammed into each other, and at the same time, the slapstick that had already been erected also smashed into the bow of the opponent with the momentum of ten thousand jun, and for a time the planks and flesh flew together, and the sea water was full of blood.

Then the tall and heavy building of the building came into play, and the archers of the ship stood on the heavy tower and leaned on the female wall to shoot arrows at each other. At this point, the Dengzhou Navy obviously has an advantage, because Datang's shipbuilding technology is advanced, and the ships are much taller than the other party, so they shoot condescendingly downward, and naturally have the upper hand. For a time, the soldiers on the Goguryeo ship were hit by arrows one after another, and they had to raise their shields to protect themselves.

"Jump ship!" Seeing that the bows and arrows did not work, the generals on the Tang army's warship ordered one after another, and the jumping gangsters who had already been prepared jumped from the side of the ship with their shields in their hands and jumped onto the opponent's boat like apes. Wielding a long knife to kill the soldiers on the other ship, although the soldiers of Goguryeo also resisted desperately, but there were bows and arrows on their heads to suppress them, and Gu couldn't block the top of their heads, so they suffered countless casualties for a while.

Liu Ju sat on his handsome ship, issuing orders from time to time, and the commander on the ship waved the command flag to inform the ships of Liu Ju's orders in order to coordinate the battle. At the same time, the handsome ships also had fierce battles with the Goguryeo warships, but these were naturally commanded by other generals, and there was no need for Liu Ju to be distracted by this.

Liu Ju is the command core of the entire Dengzhou Naval Army, and the ship he takes is naturally not ordinary, this warship is newly built by the Dengzhou Military Shipyard, which is not only much taller than the ordinary building ship, but also absorbs a lot of advantages in the design of the lucky ship, such as the flat bottom has become a pointed bottom, and the head and tail are raised high, and the bow of the ship is also added with iron ramming angles.

This ship was named 'Dengzhou' by Li Su himself, if it was a troop carrier, it could carry more than 3,000 soldiers, but when fighting, only 1,000 soldiers were enough, after all, the space on the ship was limited, and if there were too many people, it would not be able to be used at all. Moreover, the Dengzhou was mainly powered by sails, which reduced the number of oarsmen, so that the number of people who could participate in the battle was also greatly increased.

Because of the unique design of the Dengzhou, its combat method is also different from other ships, it completely raised the sails on the ship at the beginning, plucked up the wind to drive the speed to the maximum, and then hit one of the opponent's ships, the long iron tentacles inserted into the opponent's heavy building, and the huge inertia pushed the opponent back again and again, then the high bow played a role, with the force of the advance to press the opponent's ship down, and soon pressed the opponent's deck into the water.

At the same time, the archers on the heavy tower of the Dengzhou also began to shoot arrows desperately downward, and the sergeants on the opposing ship could not stand up at all because the ship was tilted and shook too much, let alone covered with shields, and were shot to death on the deck one after another.

It can be said that as soon as they came into contact, the Dengzhou Navy caused huge casualties to the other party, but this was only the beginning, when the warships collided together, the inertia advantage of the ships had been exhausted, and the Goguryeo ships that were hit suffered heavy casualties, but the other Goguryeo warships were also killed at this time, two or three building ships joined forces to besiege a ship of the Dengzhou Navy, and the soldiers on the ship used the ship as a platform and began to fight desperately.

Liu Ju focused on the overall situation on the battlefield, although there were few ships, but at the beginning they caused a lot of casualties to the other party, so now they are also fighting equally, especially the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, three or five people formed a small group, and the cooperation was very tacit, although the other party's performance was not bad, and the number was relatively large, but Liu Ju was confident that even if he could not win this battle, he could at least draw it.

However, for this situation, Liu Ju did not show any ease, but showed an anxious look, because after the warship in front of the other party entangled them, the troop carrier behind had bypassed the battlefield and began to rush to the dock, and was about to prepare to land, judging from the scale of the troop carrier, there were at least thirty or forty thousand people, while Dengzhou only had 10,000 defenders, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi was also in the city, in case the city was broken, it would be a huge blow to Datang!

But now all the warships in his hands are entangled, and even the smaller Meng Chong can't be separated, and there is no way to stop it, so he can only watch the other party's ships rush to the port, but the waterways of the port have been lowered and the ropes have been cut, and it will be impossible to clean it out for a while, and it is impossible for the ships to enter.

However, there is a gentle beach on the right side of the port, so the troop carrier under the command of the general, began to turn to the beach, and put down the boat after approaching, it was full of Goguryeo soldiers, paddling the water and began to land, after a while, there were many Goguryeo soldiers gathered on the beach, and the boats still kept going back and forth between the big ships on the beach, and each time they could transport hundreds of soldiers, it is estimated that there would be one hour at most, and all the soldiers could land.

"Hurry! Faster! On the troop transport ship, the armored Yuan Pure Land urged excitedly, although when they came to Dengzhou, they encountered a Tang army patrol fleet, but they were quickly wiped out, and arrived in Dengzhou on time, now it is about to get dark, they must complete the landing before dark, and then attack Dengzhou overnight, and strive to capture the king of Qi Li Su alive before the reinforcements from other surrounding states arrive.

As for the navy, Yuan Pure Land is not worried, that Yue general is a famous general of their Goguryeo navy, even if they can't win, but there is always no problem with a draw, when they go ashore, they can attack the naval army camp from the shore, and then under the attack of land and water, even if the Dengzhou naval army is strong, it is estimated that it will not be able to escape.

"General Qiyu, there are already 5,000 foot soldiers on the shore, and the last general is willing to take them as the vanguard to clear the obstacles for the army to advance!" A young general impatiently asked, but the general had promised that as long as Dengzhou City was captured, there would be no military discipline for three days, and they had already heard that Dengzhou was extremely rich, so they had been impatient to wait.

"Okay, Ben Shuai ordered you to be the vanguard, block the city gate after arriving in Dengzhou, and don't let anyone go!" The Yuan Pure Land also ordered with an excited face. Seeing that his plan was about to succeed, the only thing he was worried about now was that King Qi was too timid and escaped from Dengzhou in advance, if that was the case, he could only try to destroy Dengzhou as thoroughly as possible, so that the rear of the Southern Tang Route Army would become a pile of rubble. The young Goguryeo general took the arrow and immediately jumped into the boat excitedly, preparing to rush to the shore and make the first contribution to the Battle of Dengju.

However, the young general had just arrived on the shore, and he had not yet had time to purge the troops. In the distance, in the direction of the dock, there was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves, which sounded like thousands of horses. Before the Goguryeo soldiers on the beach could react, a murderous cavalry had already rushed over from the pier.

The cavalry was led by a young man in ornate armor, followed by a fierce general. As soon as this group of cavalry saw the Goguryeo soldiers on the beach, they immediately divided into two teams under the command of the fierce general, one left and one right, and attacked them.

At the same time, the young man at the head roared angrily: "Long live Datang!" Kill! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! When the two teams of cavalry heard the boy's roar, they were all in high spirits, and after three roars, the horses' hooves had already stepped on the beach, and a feast of flesh and blood was about to begin! (Site. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
