Chapter 742: Raise My Might!

The north bank of the Jinshui River

Fang Xie looked at the team on the opposite side that was gradually becoming clearer, and a different meaning flashed in his eyes, maybe even he didn't know what to say, whenever the big war was coming, he would have such a flickering in his eyes, and the excitement in his heart became clearer and clearer. He himself was equally unaware that he was accustomed to living in war.

Seeing that a large group of men and horses were mobilized on the side of Dingyuan City, the Nanyan defenders on the side of Qingyuan City also poured out of the city. Seeing that they reacted so quickly, it could be inferred that the Nanyan people must have been cautious in the past ten days. Fang Jiefang let out a five-day covenant, which made the entire Qingyuan City tighten that string.

These days, the Nanyan defenders in Qingyuan City have not taken off their armor, and their weapons do not leave their hands when they sleep, and in their opinion, the actions of those hateful Black Flag Army who come to harass every night are disgusting, but although they know that Lu Dao is bluffing every time, they still can't help but get up immediately and prepare to fight.

In this way, the tens of thousands of Nanyan troops in Qingyuan City have been extremely tired during this time.

Fu Zhengnan, the city lord of Qingyuan City, couldn't wait to dig out Fang Jie's heart and drink wine, he even wanted to let the masters around him assassinate Fang Jie, but he didn't dare, because once the masters around him were damaged in Dingyuan City, then he could only wait to be killed when he was going to face the assassination.

So he knew that the Black Flag Army was just harassing, but he couldn't help but be on guard. So he obviously wanted to kill Fang Jie, but he could only endure it.

The city lord of Nanyan is like a governor of the Great Sui, to be precise, he exercises the same rights as a governor and a general of Yiwei. But Nanyan is too small, so such a powerful man actually doesn't have many troops in his hands. A flat business road can raise an army of millions, but a big city in Nanyan has reached the extreme of raising 30,000 troops.

Fu Zhengnan didn't think about giving up Jinshui River and sticking to Qingyuan City.

But he didn't want to give up the opportunity for the enemy to cross the river, from Dingyuan City to Qingyuan City, there was only such a dangerous section as the Jinshui River, if he gave up the Jinshui River and did not defend it, then the Pingchuan River across the river was too comfortable for the Black Flag Army. Another advantage of guarding the Jinshui River, and the most important one, is that Fu Zhengnan wants to destroy as many siege engines as possible of the Black Flag Army.

It is not difficult for men and horses to cross the river, but if the siege equipment cannot cross the river, what can the Black Flag Army do even if it goes south? If you want to capture a huge city like Qingyuan City, you need to measure the giant siege equipment, which is the focus of the Southern Yan army's defense.

Fu Zhengnan's younger brother Fu Zhengming led 10,000 troops out of Qingyuan City, and basically brought all the equipment that could be called in the city. The people of Nanyan know that the Black Flag Army is well-equipped, and Fang Jie's history of fortune is simply a history of plunder, and he is constantly plundering and coercing, so his army lacks almost nothing.

And the plundering has become so frenzied, but no people have hated him.

Fu Zheng knew how heavy the burden on his shoulders was, and after losing the artillery, he had no chance to sneak attack and kill Fang Jie, so they could only rely on the Jinshui River and the tall walls of Qingyuan City to block Fang Jie.

And Fang Xie seems to be waiting for them to arrive.

One by one, the ballista carts were pushed up, and across the river, the archers and ballistas of the two armies looked in rows and made people's hearts palpitate. The narrowest part of the Jinshui River is only a dozen meters, and you can see the expressions on each other's faces clearly across the river, and at this distance, the ballista and the bow and arrow can exert the greatest power.

Even in the widest part of the river, the ballista could carry the heavy crossbow to the other side of the river.

Therefore, from the very beginning, both sides knew that once the war started, there would be no temptation, but a fist-to-flesh fight.

"General!"

Chen Dingnan walked up quickly and said: "I have already lined up, just waiting for the general's order!" ”

"Hmm"

Fang Xie nodded, turned around and walked onto the high platform that had been built early in the morning. On the high platform, a huge war drum was erected. The drums of war depict a red churning dragon, revealing its hideous motiveness in the clouds.

"When I led the troops south, I said that whatever trouble between us Sui people is also our own family matter, and we can't allow others to interfere. If the people of Nanyan dare to enter the Pingshang Road to plunder the people and kill the innocent, they should know that sooner or later, this is more than the debt to be repaid! Today, you are all creditors of the Nanyan people, use the knives in your hands and your killing intent to let Nanyan pay back everything you owe! ”

"Not only do you want to take back ours, but you also have to take them twice as much!"

Fang Jie's morale-boosting shouts seemed a bit nondescript, as if there was no solemn atmosphere, and the soldiers listened attentively to him, and some were amused.

"War!"

Fang Xie shouted, "There has always been only one goal, and that is to defeat the enemy!" Then they snatched everything from the enemy, so did you see those Nanyan people on the other side of the river? Knives, shields, bows, and arrows in their hands! Their leather armor, their ballistas, it's all fucking ours! ”

"It's all fucking ours!"

Some people followed and chanted, and it soon spread to the whole army.

"Go ahead!"

Fang Xie pointed to the south bank of the river and said, "Defeat them and turn them into poor eggs!" ”

"Whoa!"

I don't know who learned the wolf's howl and roared a few times, which immediately caused a wolf howl.

"Nanyan people! Wait for us to go over and strip you naked! ”

Such a shout reveals a scoundrel, but it also reveals a fierceness. The soldiers of the Southern Yan Army on the south bank of the river looked at each other, and suddenly realized that what they had to face might not be an invincible army, but a group of invincible beasts.

……

……

"Ballista!"

The general of the Black Flag Army raised the flag high, and then waved it down: "Release!" ”

More than 100 crossbow carts brought from Yongzhou opened a line on the north bank of the river roared, and more than 100 heavy crossbows blasted towards the south bank of the river like an angry dragon flying away, and the target of the first round of strikes was not enemy soldiers, but enemy defensive equipment! The ballistae of the Southern Yan army, which was obviously seventy percent less in number, were smashed by a small half in a single round of pouring, and in front of the imposing Black Flag Army, their resistance seemed so weak and weak.

It's like a girl who has been pushed, even if she struggles, she can't stop the violence of the big man.

Yongzhou was built into a huge militarized fortress by Luo Yao, and the number of ballistas was chilling. From the very beginning, the battle of crossing the river was a contest of dual-defense long-range weapons, and when the quality was almost equal, the decisive factor was naturally quantity. The Southern Yan army was also very well equipped, after all, the army in the hands of the city lords was their private soldiers in a fundamental sense. In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of his army, the city lords are also not stingy.

However, the limitation lies in the fact that their financial and material resources are not enough to support too large an army.

The heavy crossbows fired by the two sides flew straight across the river, tearing through the slightly moist air and smashing into the opponent's position. The sound of the twisting of the ballista coil and the wailing of the soldiers were all in one, and in the face of this bloody scene, the soldiers of the Black Flag Army showed a kind of impatience, while the Nanyan people were almost all white-faced.

At the beginning, the army of the Southern Yan Northern Expedition to attack Pingshang Road was Murong shameful, and it had nothing to do with the private soldiers in the hands of Fu Zhengnan and their city lords, even if the city lords couldn't piece together some troops later, but most of them were recruited. A fight in the true sense of the word, the Southern Yan army has not experienced it for many years.

And the Black Flag Army was killed with blood all the way.

What kind of army can be called elite?

The first thing is whether you can put away your fears.

After about four rounds of volleys, most of the ballistae of the Southern Yan army were destroyed, and even the archers' arrow arrays were smashed to pieces. Although the Black Flag Army also lost some, it was relatively lighter. In the face of opponents weaker than themselves, the Black Flag Army has never had mercy.

When the ballista of the Southern Yan army was dumbfounded, the ballista of the Black Flag Army poured heavy crossbows even more unscrupulously!

More than 100 ballistae continued to exert their might, forcing the Southern Yan army to retreat again and again to give way to the south bank of the river, the range of the ballista was more than 500 paces, and the Southern Yan army, which had lost its heavy weapons, seemed to have no other way but to retreat. But Fu Zheng knew that once he retreated, the Black Flag Army would immediately set up a pontoon bridge to cross the river, and after a group of troops came to stabilize the riverbank, the siege equipment began to be transported.

At that time, it would be meaningless to lead the troops out of the city by yourself.

"Hold on!"

Fu Zhengnan hid behind a huge shield and shouted loudly: "Shield hand, carry it!" Hold on to your formation! Waiting for my order, the enemy began to erect pontoon bridges, and the archers immediately released their arrows! ”

His shouts seemed so small on the south bank of the river.

"It's our turn!"

Qin Yuan, the general of the infantry army, was promoted after Fang Xie recovered the peaceful trade road, he was a general of the southern frontier army, and there were eight or nine hundred elite border troops under his command, and now, Fang Xie gave him 15,000 people, this feeling of being reused and trusted made Qin Yuan have a fire burning in his heart, a fire that must show himself.

He can't let people underestimate him, and he knows that if he wants to go further, he must make a difference.

Qin Yuan didn't wear armor in the first place, but at this time, he took off the shirt on his body, revealing his strong tendons and flesh bare-chested, and he pointed at the south bank with a horizontal knife in his hand: "Kill the past, you are my brother!" If you see me retreating, slash me in the back!" If I saw you retreat, I'd cut you over! If you can't kill it, Lao Tzu will take you to commit suicide and apologize! ”

"Kill!"

The sturdy border soldiers rushed into the river with the shouts of the former county soldiers, and the first group of people to rush down were tied with ropes to prevent them from being swept away by the river, and they rushed forward carrying the pontoon bridge that had been built. At this time, the archers of the Southern Yan army began to brave the rain of arrows to fight back.

One by one, the soldiers fell into the river and were flooded, and the blood soon stained a large area of water.

"Archer!"

Chen Dingnan shouted loudly: "Release the arrow!" Overturn the arrow array of the Nanyan people to Lao Tzu! The brothers are crossing the river, and if you put one more arrow, they will receive one less! ”

Feathered arrows rained down on the opposite shore like a rainstorm, so dense that they collided in the air.

The shirtless crowd with knives rushed into the river one by one, and the pontoon began to move towards the south bank.

"You can't let them go!"

Fu Zhengming roared hoarsely, but the words that followed were shattered by an earth-shattering drumbeat.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The drums of war beat one after another, and on the high platform, the black-robed young man picked up the drumstick, and each stroke was so heavy.

"Raise my might! Mighty in all directions! ”

"Black Flag Army!"

Qin Yuan was the first to step on the pontoon bridge and rush to the south bank of the river: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!"

The soldiers of the Black Flag Army stepped on the pontoon bridge and quickly rushed across the riverbank, and at first eight out of ten people who passed by were killed in the crowd of the Southern Yan army, but soon, their comrades took their place, and gradually expanded the area under their control. The bloody road cut out by knife and knife, how can any ruggedness be compared?

It's always ...... on the battlefield The vicious side bullies the weak.
