Chapter 56: The Second Attack on the River Crossing (3)
Lin Feng was shocked, turned his gaze to the watchtower in the east, and found that on the watchtower from near to far, the red distress flag was hung uniformly on the south side, and waved in a rhythm of two strokes.
Ge Chang at Shouzhou Wharf has encountered a threat, and it is already very dangerous!
Lin Feng turned around and looked at the tens of thousands of Chudi clan troops who were waiting anxiously inside and outside the camp behind the protective embankment, and quickly weighed it in his heart.
No way! Now is not the time to expose tribal reinforcements! Lin Feng quickly made a decision, picked up the red distress flag beside him, waved it up and down once, and then paused for a while and raised it up and down again. This is telling Ge Chang that you must defend to the death!
The flag command quickly passed through the watchtower to the east.
Of course, Lin Feng would not ignore Ge Chang's request for help, called Zhao Zanting, handed him four earth-shaking thunders, and whispered a few words in his ear. Zhao Zanting jumped off the water village and rushed towards a big horse in the back.
Lin Feng asked loudly, "Has General Feng come back?" ”
"Lord Lin, I'm back!" Feng Jingyun appeared behind the water village with a wet suit, his hands were twisting the water at the hem of the clothes, and there was no blood on his body.
Lin Feng nodded at him appreciatively, and the person leaned over to the edge of the water village and shouted: "Seal the first floor of the water village and withdraw all to the second and third floors!" ”
Behind the first floor of the water village, the thick wooden planks that had been soaked in the water were pulled out by the Shouzhou army shouting and quickly pushed to the front. The sound of nails was like a torrential rain, and the entire first floor was quickly sealed.
Lin Feng looked coldly at the Zhou army assault soldiers who had rushed to the big boat bridge and the small boat group along the two pontoon bridges, and then turned to the east and west sides, and also found that many soldiers had rushed across the middle line of the river along the two pontoon bridges, and were constantly rushing towards the south bank.
It's time to fight back!
Lin Feng roared wildly: "Inform Huzi and Wei San, the trebuchet is aimed at the pontoon bridge and launches continuously!" ”
The rapid sound of drums sounded, and the soldiers who gave the order also jumped off the water village, and this order was quickly transmitted to the protection teams on the east and west sides through the soldiers on the guard tower and the embankment at the same time.
Lin Renzhao and Wei San, who heard the signal, acted almost at the same time, and waved their big hands fiercely, and the two one-person-high big churners were turned by three strong men at the same time, and forty soldiers pulled down the thick ropes at the same time, and ninety-two soldiers pulled the heads of the two trebuchets from the east and west. The four huge springs under the trebuchet stick were instantly pressed to their shortest point, and two other soldiers worked together to place a ballball the size of a football into the large iron spoon at the head of the club, shouting "yes", and then quickly running away.
All the soldiers shouted "release" at the same time, and together they loosened the rope and the handle of the agitator. The four large springs immediately burst out, pushing the throwing rod upward, and the stone ball on the head whistled and flew out of the lun.
In the eyes of the soldiers on the south bank, two stone balls, one east and one west, hit the pontoon bridge in the middle of the river almost simultaneously.
The stone ball in the east was particularly violent, crashing into three helpless Zhou soldiers, and after falling, it broke the wooden frame that bound the floating beams. The pontoon bridge was already in danger, and the soldiers who were running behind the pontoon bridge quickly stopped and began to retreat to the north. The stone ball to the west was a little gentle, with only one of them hanging on the shoulders of a man who could not escape as much as the Zhou army, and then smashed a large hole in the boat under the pontoon.
Hearing the cheers of their own soldiers, the trebuchet that came to the spirit threw stone bullets of revenge one after another, and soon completely smashed the two pontoon bridges, and the two broken pontoon bridges were quickly thrown in the direction of the downstream under the action of the current.
Lin Renzhao, who was defending on the east side, laughed happily, turned around and ordered: "Reduce half of your strength and shoot again!" ”
The soldiers and craftsmen who operated the trebuchet immediately complied, and a stone ball flew again, smashed accurately on the top of the southern section of the pontoon, smashed the four unsuspecting Zhou soldiers into the water, and bounced twice, breaking the leg of one of the Zhou soldiers, before smashing through the planks and bottom of the boat, creating a large hole, causing the pontoon bridge to tremble violently.
Wei San in the west also thought of this trick with a sharp heart, and also fired four bullets in a row, successfully smashing the pontoon bridge in the southern section again, and a section of pontoon bridge more than 20 meters long was broken before and after, and the more than 30 panicked soldiers above floated down the river to the lower reaches of the river.
Seeing that the broken pontoon bridge was rapidly crashing into the pontoon bridge on the west side of the water village, the soldiers on the two pontoon bridges suddenly panicked. The soldiers on the unbroken pontoon began to run desperately in the north and south directions, trying to avoid the impact of the collision, and the soldiers on the broken pontoon bridge shouted and jumped into the river before the two sections of the pontoon collided.
After a loud bang, the two pontoons collided together, and the fierce impact caused many Zhou soldiers who were running on the pontoon bridge to be brought to the ground by inertia, and many people fell directly into the river. The pontoon trembled violently for a while, and then slowly regained its composure, and it was not knocked away!
Lin Feng looked at this result, slapped his thigh with great pity, and shouted loudly: "Inform Huzi and Wei San to move the two trebuchets over!" ”
There are only two of the four pontoon bridges left, and half of the threat has gone, so it's time for Zhao Kuangyin and them to taste the bitterness!
At this time, on the group of boats in front of the water village, a thick shield array was set up, and several boat planks were rushing away under the transportation of soldiers.
Lin Feng snorted coldly, turned around and ordered, "Move the stones to the second and third floors, and greet them well!" ”
This time, the soldiers of the Zhou army successfully put six boat planks on the first floor of the water village, but they found that the first floor had been completely sealed, and they were facing a wooden plank city wall that was more than four meters high!
Wei Chang, who was standing in the first row of big boats, found those sealing plates that had been dripping water from the cracks in the shield array, and was so angry that he stomped his feet and gave up the idea of launching rockets, while directing more and more Zhou troops to shoot arrows from the gaps in the shield array to suppress the defenders of the water village, and on the other hand, he loudly ordered the assault soldiers to spread the ship board all over the water in front of him, and then use the boat board as a ladder to climb the city, and rush to kill with all his might. Turning his head, Wei Chang quietly instructed several guards to organize water ghosts to go into the water, preparing to pull out the iron rod at the bottom of the river.
Under the steel knives of the big boat supervision team, the soldiers of the Zhou army, who had no way back, rushed towards the paved passage with their shields, quickly paved the boat board above the "moat river", and rushed towards the water village with the long boat board again.
Lin Feng held a wooden shield in his left hand, and smashed a stone out with his right hand, easily knocking a Zhou soldier to the ground, and gave up his position to a special soldier in a light mood. The enemy has no trebuchets, no siege ladders, and only relies on pontoon bridges to refuel reinforcements.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but look to the east, and began to worry about the progress of the battle situation on Ge Chang's side.
At this time, on the water village of Shouzhou Wharf, there were already Zhou army assault soldiers rushing to the first floor of the water village and entering the meat game stage. There was no way, there were only two immovable old trebuchets at the pier, which could not stop the advance of the enemy ships and the spread of the pontoon bridge.
The two teams of Zhou troops with Li Chongjin and Stilwell as the main generals respectively rushed along the pontoon bridge like crazy, then turned to the big boat, and then jumped to the small boat, risking death to attack the water village, and soon the brave Zhou army rushed to the first floor of the water village, hacked to death the Shouzhou army who was about to nail the thick plate, and the two sides began the battle for the water village.
Ge Chang had to send a distress signal to Lin Feng in the west.
After several rounds of tug-of-war, the first floor of the water village was basically covered with the corpses of soldiers on both sides, and the Shouzhou army's resistance became more and more powerless.
At this critical moment, Ge Chang, who was standing on the top floor of the water village and commanding, saw Zhao Zanting who was galloping over, and also got four earth-shattering thunders, and immediately understood Lin Feng's intentions, and briefly discussed with Cheng Yuehai and Liu Chongjin, who led the two teams of Shouzhou Army, and immediately called over two captains who were born as special soldiers, and commanded in a low voice.
