Chapter 70: The Battle of Jingshui
Chapter 70: The Battle of Jingshui
On the border of Jing County, there is a rushing river, more than a thousand feet wide, the water is turbulent, and the turbid river water flows from top to bottom, making a deafening sound.
This river is called Jing River!
Zuo General Yue Hong led an army of 300,000 and stationed on the side of the Jing River, the war drums roared, hundreds of boats competed for the stream, and the war was pervasive, stretching for dozens of miles.
In the central tent, Yue Hong sat on a handsome chair in tiger skin, his posture was as tall as a pine, his eyes were as bright as cold stars, he was not angry and self-assured, and the strength of the peak of the Holy Realm gave people great pressure.
On both sides of the tent, dozens of generals stood, with serious faces, wearing sharp armor, holding swords, cultivating to the extreme, the weakest were all innate late stage martial artists, and there were two Saint Realm masters, looking at the sand table in the middle, silent.
"How many warships have been built so far?"
Yue Hong asked, when the army arrived, the Xiao clan destroyed all the bridges of the Jing River, and if they wanted to cross the river to attack Jingmen City, they could only build warships.
"General, the last general has gathered the boatmen of the surrounding hundred miles, and three thousand warships have been built, which is enough to escort the army across the river. The pioneer general Yue Peng was out of the ranks, and reported loudly.
He is Yue Hong's son-in-law, at a young age, he broke through the late stage of the congenital period, served as a pioneer general, has rich combat experience, and has set a brilliant result of going deep into the enemy camp and taking the enemy's head.
Tiger fathers have no dog sons.
This is the highest evaluation of Yue Hong's father and son in the world.
"The herald ordered the army to attack tonight and attack the Xiao camp at night to quell the war. ”
Yue Hong was slightly overjoyed, and ordered loudly, holding two copper hammers, shining with divine light, with destructive power.
He looked down at the armor, there was a deep scar, his eyes were boiling with murderous intent, he rushed to Jingshui, led three thousand elite troops, and prepared to seize the last bridge, but Xiao had already buried the gunpowder, and was directly blown away, and was slashed by Xiao Tengge's sword.
This knife almost killed him.
If it weren't for the critical time, the two lieutenants would support and repel Xiao Tengge, he might die before he could get out of the army and fall in the Jing River.
"General, the boats are ready, but there is another problem that needs to be solved urgently, the Jing River is turbulent, and when crossing the river, it is difficult for the helmsman to control the bearing, and the target may be deviated. ”
Logistics General Xiao 13 stood up and respectfully hugged his fists.
Including Yue Hong, all the generals frowned slightly, this was indeed a difficult problem, in addition to the ship's deviation, they were also worried that there would be a collision while the warship was moving.
Three thousand warships, any accident, the loss is extremely heavy, may make the previous efforts in vain.
"Do you have a solution?"
Yue Hong asked, he was not familiar with Xiao Thirteen, in order to prevent the dictatorship of the generals, the imperial court set up many departments in the army, including the generals of logistics, who were not transferred by the military department, but by the officials.
Usually, except for about logistics, he only communicated with Xiao Shisan, and he didn't say anything else.
"Back to the general, the warship is shaking, the main reason is that the volume is too small, we can connect it with iron chains to form a whole, and the order will be issued, and the advance and retreat can be free, which can avoid collisions. ”
After Xiao 13 finished speaking, he retreated to his place and said no more.
The generals were surprised, but they didn't expect Xiao Thirteen, who was in charge of logistics, to have this ability?
"General, the Admiral thinks it's okay to give it a try!"
General Xiao Shi hugged his fists, and when he was out of the ranks, his eyes glanced at Xiao Thirteen, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a fine light flashed in the depths of his eyes, but because he lowered his head, he was not discovered by Yue Hong.
"Good!"
Yue Hong bowed his head and agreed to this method.
He didn't know that it was this plan that caused his 300,000 troops to be buried in the fire.
............
Starry Night.
Under the moon, the Jing River roared, as if it was about to swallow everything, and the water was constantly tumbling, as if it was demonstrating to people.
One by one, the warships were launched, swaying violently with the river, like a small leaf, at the mercy of the huge waves, as if the boat was about to capsize at any time, which made Yue Hongzhu's generals worried.
They were all generals immediately, and it was the first time to command a water battle, even if Yue Hong had experienced a hundred battles and had rich experience, he was a little uneasy in his heart.
Boom!
Boom!
Qiang ......
As the chains were connected, the warship shook violently, and sure enough, it became stable, with only slight undulations.
"Board the ship!"
Yue Hong burst into tears, and his voice was like thunder.
The army boarded the ship in an orderly manner.
An hour later, the warship headed for the other side of the river like a blood dragon.
And on the other side of the river, there was also a naval army, filled with fire oil, and went out to battle under the leadership of Xiao Tengge.
The two armies, like two divine swords, are sharp and full of anger, and they want to kill each other.
A few minutes later, the two sides met in the center of Jinghe.
"Ignition, rush!"
Xiao Tengge raised his sword and looked over, and found that Yue Hong's military ships were bound by chains, showing a smile that the conspiracy had succeeded, and without hesitation, he ordered loudly, and hundreds of small boats were ignited, with monstrous fireworks, and rushed towards Yue Hong's warship.
"Turn the rudder, block!"
Yue Hong's pupils shrank, and an ominous premonition appeared in his heart.
"General, the ships are chained and we can't turn the rudder. ”
One of the generals ran to the hull of the ship, saw the thick chains, and hurriedly replied.
"Damn ......"
Yue Hong's complexion changed drastically, and his thoughts were racing rapidly, looking for a solution, but at this time, the fireboat was already approaching, and the bright light of the fire illuminated half of the sky.
There is no good way, he can only break it with force, fly to the sky, swing his double hammer, carry the power of ten thousand jun, and smash it on the fireship.
Rumble!
With a monstrous noise, the fire oil inside the ship exploded, forming a mushroom cloud, submerging Yue Hong, spreading out a circle of air waves, and the wind hunted, blowing the fire towards Yue Hong's army.
The fire was raging and soon set fire to a large number of warships.
"Ah......h
The screams continued, and many soldiers could not stand the heat, so they jumped off the warship and struggled in the water.
"General, most of our warships are on fire, and the Xiao clan is menacing, let's withdraw quickly!"
Yue Hong was a master of the Holy Realm in the end, even if he was in the center of the explosion, he was only slightly injured, and he flew to the handsome ship with a gloomy face.
Many generals hurriedly persuaded, with fear on their faces, knowing that the general trend had gone, and at a glance, the surrounding flames were raging, as if they were going to burn this heaven and earth, and the endless screams were like a requiem, torturing the hearts of the generals.
"Xiao Thirteen, I'm going to kill you. ”
Yue Hong's eyes were blood-red, staring at Xiao Thirteen who was standing at the stern of the boat, and the murderous intent was flashing.
Kill!
Kill him!
It's all because of Xiao Xiao, he will use the chains to connect the warship.
"General Yue, you are stupid, how can you blame me?" Xiao Shisan said indifferently, revealing a sneer.
"Die!"
Yue Hong's face was cold, the copper hammer in his hand was held high, blooming with blood light, with a cold and murderous aura, the strength of the peak of the Holy Realm made the warship shake violently.
The rest of the generals also looked at Xiao Thirteen with angry eyes.
After many years of fighting, how could there have been such a big defeat?
Except for Xiao Shi.
