Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The eight eight-pinned cannons were like giant beasts, squatting in the camp of the Youzhou Army, eyeing the six pontoon bridges on the Yishui River.

Several craftsmen adjusted the gun position back and forth, calibrated the target, and waited for a qiē to be ready, and then reported a word to Zhou Shuzuo.

"Loaded with a stone fat bomb." With Zhou Shuzuo's shouting.

The soldiers on the side carefully loaded the pitch-black stone fat bullets into the stone nest. This stone fat bomb uses a secret method to encapsulate the stone grease. Although the stone grease was sealed, everyone was still careful when carrying it, for fear of falling and exploding negligently.

The eight cannons were all loaded, and Zhou Zuojiang waved his hand, and the naked soldiers stepped forward and pulled up the cannon cables. At this moment, the soldiers' breath couldn't help stagnating, and even Zhou Zuojiang looked solemn.

Li Chongjiu, Ji Chuan, and Wang Mahan all set their sights on the eight-tip cannon to see if the secret weapon that took months to develop could work in one fell swoop.

In Zhou Zuojiang's eyes, a trace of fierceness flashed, and he suddenly shouted: "Release!" ”

The soldiers suddenly pulled the cannon cable, only to hear a few gurgling sounds, and with a shock of throwing arms, the stone fat bullets in the stone nest drew an arc in the air and smashed towards the river crossing.

Dou Jiande's sergeants had already been on guard against this behemoth, and when the stone grease flew away, the back row of the Xia army's soldiers all subconsciously raised their shields and blocked their heads.

But Sergeant Xia watched this black thing fly over his head from the gap, and couldn't help but show a surprised expression, what the hell is this.

Bang!

A stone fat bomb smashed open near the river beach, and there seemed to be the sound of broken tiles and broken cans. Hiding behind the shield, the soldier instantly felt a wave of heat coming,

Then there was a bang, and there was a ten steps in a radius.

Fire! Fire!

The Xia soldiers screamed in horror, and the whole person rolled in the fire, beating on himself, sticking to the place where the fire started like black oil.

But this beating didn't help at all.

It's just that the real target of the eight-pronged cannon is the six pontoon bridges spread across the river. The eight-pronged cannon is more than 200 steps away from the pontoon bridge, and it is indeed very difficult to accurately correct it.

On the six pontoon bridges, only one was directly grazed by the stone fat bombs, and the rest of the stone fat bombs fell into the river and fell into the river.

There was nothing about the loss of a pontoon bridge, Dou Jiande, the generals of the Xia army, and the soldiers of the Xia army were all relieved. It is true that the river is too wide, and the six pontoon bridges are erected separately, so it is indeed not easy for the enemy's stone-throwing vehicles to hit.

Dou Jiande looked a little apprehensive, and said to the left and right: "The enemy really wants to burn our army's pontoon bridge, if they have more stone throwers, we can't do anything, but now we are not afraid." ”

The generals said yes again and again, but at this time, Liu Heimin pointed to the river and said, "No, your majesty xià look." ”

As Liu Heimin pointed out, a different side appeared on the surface of the river, only to see that the black thing was directly shattered on the surface of the river, and a thick cloud of black oil floated on the entire river surface. The black oil was boiling and burning on the surface of the river.

The black oil not only burns, but also floats down the river to the pontoon, only to see the burning black oil flowing down the river from the upstream, and the pontoon bridges are contaminated.

In an instant, the fire suddenly broke out and burned along the pontoon bridge, and the soldiers of the Xia army on the side who had prevented losses took off their clothes and wet the river water, and desperately shook the place where the fire was burning.

"Haha, Xia Jun must not understand, the real power of the stone fat bomb is to burn on the surface of the water and float down the water!" Zhou Shuzuo laughed, Shi Fat was successful, of course he was the happiest.

After speaking, Zhou Zuojiang waved his hand and said, "Brothers, give me all the rest of the stone fat bullets." ”

"No!"

After issuing the order, Zhou Zuojiang realized that he had done too much.

I saw the thick stone grease floating down the water, and the six pontoon bridges together caught fire, and the soldiers of the Zhou army, who did not know the principle of stone grease, even used water to extinguish the stone grease burning on the river surface. As a result, the stone grease followed the water potential and burned bigger and bigger.

The north wind blew again, the wind fueled the fire, and the wood on the pontoon bridge was instantly ignited.

The fire on the surface of the river grew bigger and bigger, and the six pontoon bridges turned into fire dragons in the blink of an eye, crackling and burning, not only the pontoon bridges, but also the river surface became a sea of red fire.

The soldiers of the Xia army were all dumbfounded, such a scene, if others watched it, it was really spectacular.

However, the six pontoon bridges were burned down, and their 3,000 soldiers were cut off on the north bank of the river, cutting off the way back.

Whining!

The horn sounded on the north shore, and a fresh force of tens of thousands of people in Youzhou appeared on the right side of the battlefield.

A big banner with the word Xue fluttering, it is Xue Wanche, the general of the Youzhou Army.

When the bridge was broken, the Youzhou army invested all its troops with the power of the tiger and the rabbit, and 20,000 horses poured out to besiege 3,000 men and horses in the Xia Military Region.

Nearly 100,000 soldiers on the riverbank couldn't bear to close their eyes.

"Kill!"

At this moment, the three thousand Xia troops on the bank of the river were shouting in unison.

"Who wants to die with me!"

A high-pitched voice clearly came into the ears of the Xia soldiers across the riverbank.

"Yes, General Wang! Yes, General Wang! ”

Watching Wang Fubao lead the army to launch a new offensive against Youzhou, the soldiers of the Xia army couldn't help but burst into tears.

Dou Jiande was also in tears at this time, and he came to the drum, took the drumstick from the soldier's hand, and struggled to beat it on the cowhide drum.

When General Xia Jun saw Dou Jiande's burly body, when the drum was beating, he also cheered up and ran separately.

"Quick, find someone to cross the river in the upper shoals."

"Is there a soldier who knows how to water?"

"Put out this fire for me."

"Yes, you give me an idea how long it will take to rebuild a pontoon bridge over the river."

Dou Jiande turned a deaf ear to this, and still struggled to hammer the drum in front of the big drum, and the passionate drum sound sounded one after another.

Wang Fubao was still on the bank of the river, shooting and killing, surrounded by Wang Fubao's 3,000 men and horses, there were more and more soldiers in Youzhou, and the soldiers in Xia gradually became scarce.

After half a ring, Wang Fubao's general flag was drowned in the chaos.

The three thousand Xia soldiers and horses were all trapped by the riverbank.

When the hustle and bustle stopped, the drumstick in Dou Jiande's hand fell to the ground, and suddenly he sat down on the ground, beat his chest with both hands, and cried: "Brother Wang, it was someone who hurt you." ”

Liu Heimin, the general of the Xia Army, and others also wiped away their tears.

Zhang Xuansu also stepped forward and cried: "Your Majesty, it is useless to mourn at this time, take care of the dragon body." ”

The ministers also knelt down together and said, "Your Majesty, please mourn." ”

Dou Jiande said angrily: "What is the mourning, I am heartbroken." ”

On the north bank of Yishui, the first large-scale battle between the Xia army and the Youzhou army ended with Wang Fubao and 3,000 soldiers being annihilated on the north bank.

Above the water, it was red, the wreckage of the pontoon bridge was still there, and on the battlefield next to the river beach, the corpses were lying everywhere, and the river was washing the corpses up and down.

Li Chongjiu, under the escort of Wang Mahan, Chen Ke, Zhao Quanting and other generals, inspected the battlefield.

After walking for a while, Chen Ke stepped forward and said: "The last general has examined, and the wounds on the corpse of Sergeant Xia are all on the chest, but no one is behind them, and they are obviously all killed in battle. ”

Li Chongjiu stopped when he heard this, looked back at Chen Keyan and said: "Such a soldier, Rao is an enemy, and he is also admired. ”

Li Chongjiu paused and said: "If the order goes down, no matter the corpses of the enemy or me, they all need to be well reined in, and if they are enemy generals, they will use good coffins." As for the Xia army prisoners, they are also taken care of and must not be bullied. ”

"No." Chen Ke replied.

Ji Chuan said on the side: "Shanggu Gong, although the Xia army has been wiped out, our army has also suffered thousands of casualties, and the Xia army is really a strong enemy. The main cavalry of our army has not arrived, and it is not easy to fight with the Xia army again, so I implore you to take advantage of the great victory and retreat to Yi County, waiting for the arrival of the main cavalry. ”

As soon as Ji Chuan finished speaking, Xue Wanche objected: "This is a mistake, where is there a reason to win and retreat, so it is not obvious that Xia Jun thinks that our army is but." ”

Ji Chuan said: "If there were no stone fat bombs in today's battle, our army would be able to hold the beachhead." At present, the Xia army is only a small setback, but there are still 100,000 troops on the riverside, and our army is only 20,000 people, the distance between the troops is huge, and the stone fat bomb has been exhausted. ”

Xue Wanche said: "Ji engaged, it's really poorly planned, Xia Junyan knows that our army's stone fat bombs have been exhausted, before the details are known, how dare they build a pontoon bridge to cross the river." ”

Ji Chuan retorted: "You are lucky, if Xia Jun really dares, even if Xia Jun is afraid of my stone fat bullets, they can also choose the shallows to cross from other places in Yishui, and then what is good." ”

Verbal kung fu how Xue Wanche is Ji Chuan's opponent. But seeing that Ji Chuan was unforgiving, he turned to Li Chongjiu and said: "Retreating victoriously is not a fear, but a lengthening of the Xia army's grain route, and our army can not only echo with the main cavalry that comes to help, but also give General Xu, who is active on the flank of the Xia army, more opportunities." ”

Li Chongjiu listened to it for a while, but did not speak, and at this moment, a general hurriedly came and said, "Shanggu Gong, this is the letter from the boss personally. ”

Li Chongjiu was slightly surprised, and said in his heart why Li Hu suddenly wrote to himself from Huaihuang Town. At that moment, Li Chongjiu took a look at the letter, and after a few lines, his brows were already tightly locked.

"Shanggu Gong, what happened on the grassland?"

Li Chongjiu said: "It's not that we killed Liu Wuzhou in Yanmen, my father said that after the Turks learned the news, Chuluo Khan was very angry and decided to send troops to avenge Liu Wuzhou. ”

Wang Mahan said angrily: "Turks, it doesn't make sense, Liu Wuzhou's thief bird has repeatedly come to attack us, and we haven't looked for the Turks to say, this time he is killing himself, and the Turks want to ask for his guilt, what is the reason." ”

Li Chongjiu said: "The letter said that Mu Defeng went to visit Chu Luo Khan to intercede, but Chu Luo actually said that he was angry with the Turkic Khan, do you still have to find a reason?" ”

"How can it be?" The generals of the Youzhou army were furious.

Xue Wanshu said: "Right now, Dou Jiande, Guo Zihe, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, and Li Tang are all nominally subjugated to the Turks, but my Youzhou army is not a minister, and Zhu Luo is going to shoot the first bird." ”

Li Chongjiu's audience will discuss, and at the moment he will crumple the letter paper and pinch it in the palm of his hand.
