Chapter 758: Heaven and Earth, Great Self is King
On the Yangtze River
Nie Yuming, the general of the Navy Division in Luo Tu's army, had straight eyes, his hand holding clairvoyance was trembling, there was no blood on his face, he looked at the ironclad soldiers on the other side who walked into the river like dumplings, and he couldn't use any words to describe his mood at this time. He felt that he had experienced a lot of strange things in his life, but what he saw today was more than strange?
Unbelievable!
From ancient times to the present, there had never been such a scene in any war he knew of, so that all the self-confidence he had before was torn apart and shattered. He once firmly believed that it was impossible for the imperial army to cross the Yangtze River without the backing of a powerful sailor......
He found out that he was wrong, the enemy really could not fly, but the enemy was crossing the river in an even more shocking way.
"Shoot the arrows!"
It took him a while to react, and he gave the archers a loud order to release their arrows. But the archers couldn't see the ironclad soldiers clearly, and could only see a dark shadow slowly passing by under the water. The seemingly weak water blocked the sharp feather arrows, and the water of the river seemed so thick in front of the sharp arrows, no matter how strong the arrows were, they didn't want to shoot to the bottom of the river, and soon there was a white feather floating on the surface of the river.
powerless
What to do?
Nie Yuming felt a burning pain in his throat, and he couldn't believe that the enemy would cross the river in such a way, even if he saw it with his own eyes.
At that moment, he suddenly felt the hull of the ship shake. Immediately after, there were bursts of exclamations: "It's leaking!" They scuttled through our boat underwater! ”
The water poured into the cabin at an unimaginable speed, and soon the big ship began to tilt. The soldiers on the deck frantically searched for a place to hold on, and at this time they even forgot the fact that they were not bad in the water because of fear. The enemy crossed the Yangtze River in a strange and domineering way, and had defeated them all psychologically. When people are in a panic, many instincts will come out naturally, but many abilities will be forgotten.
The officers of the Ironclad Army, who were relatively high-level, threw the boulder at the bottom of the river, lifted it up with the help of buoyancy, and then chiseled the ship through with their weapons. The ship, which seemed to be sturdy and magnificent, seemed so fragile at this time, like an elephant that had been drilled into the nose by a rat, helpless and desolate.
Being sunk by a big ship in such a way is undoubtedly a huge blow to the psychology of the soldiers.
Underwater
Yang Jian looked at the large black shadow above his head, he picked up a big stone from the river and picked it up, and then threw it up, the stone broke through the water and rushed up and hit the bottom of the boat fiercely, after a muffled sound, a big hole broke in the bottom of the boat, and the water quickly poured into it, and soon, the big boat let out an overwhelmed moan and began to tilt to one side.
He didn't need to walk with a big rock, and with his current cultivation, he could cross the river with a reed, but he still chose to walk with his subordinates, because he was not a Jianghu guest, but a general who led the troops.
The ironclad army did not suffer any losses, some were trapped in the mud, some were lost because they couldn't see clearly, and some were hit by big fish in the river and floated up.
But these people have no fear.
They don't know what fear is.
On the south bank of the Yangtze River, people who don't know what happened on the road looked at the strange things that happened on the river, pointing and talking about it. All they saw was that one by one, the ships suddenly began to tilt without warning, and the soldiers on deck screamed and jumped into the water. When one ship overturned, the mast smashed into another ship, and I don't know how many people were killed. When the two big ships are twisted together, it is not far from the end of the road.
"Oh my God!"
Someone shouted in panic: "Is the river god angry?!" For what kind of sailors' warships will sink one after another? I can't see any enemy sailors coming, it's just our own boat! ”
"It must be the river god who is angry!"
"It can't be some monster in the water!"
More and more people gathered on the riverside, pointing to the river and talking at a loss. Some people began to greet their companions and rowed boats over to rescue their comrades who had fallen overboard. Because they didn't know what was happening in the road, the sailor warships docked on the south bank did not dare to pass over easily. They stood on the deck and watched their companions fall into the water one after another, and could only pray in horror.
"O God! What the hell is going on! ”
Someone shouted, their faces pale.
"I didn't order any warship not to rush over, come on, row the centipede clipper over to rescue the comrades who fell into the water!"
There was a general of the sailor who gave a loud order.
The surface of the river, as on the south bank, was in chaos.
A large number of soldiers rushed to the river and looked north, their eyes full of horror. Even some fishermen, forgetting their fear of the soldiers, ran over to look over there. At this moment, a fisherman's sharp eyes noticed that something suddenly slowly emerged from the river not far away, black and growing.
"What's that!"
He was startled and hurriedly pointed over there.
"What's that?"
"Oh my god! That's a water ghost! ”
"The water ghost has come to ask for his life!"
There was an immediate uproar in the crowd.
Immediately after, the second, the third, the fourth...... In the river near the shore, there are more and more black things that come to the surface one after another, densely packed, as if someone has poured countless watermelons into the water, and it makes people's hearts furious.
Soon, the things began to grow bigger and bigger, and when they were almost on the shore, the crowd of onlookers suddenly erupted in exclamation, followed by someone turning around and running!
Those who emerge are all people!
One after another, the ironclad soldiers crossed the river and strode onto the riverbank. The armor on their bodies was heavy enough, but in order not to be washed away by the rushing water, each of them still held a large rock. When they were about to go ashore, they dropped the stones, and the cold and cruel eyes in the iron helmets made the people on the shore tremble when they looked at them.
"Ironclad!"
Someone finally recognized them, and a desperate wail erupted from their throats.
……
……
The soldiers of the Iron Armor who came up from the water were all so majestic and burly, like the devils of hell who came out of the bottom of the river, the dull but thick and strong iron armor was intimidating, and the sharp heavy weapons in their hands were even more terrifying.
One by one, they came out of the water and strode up the riverbank.
"It's the Iron Army!"
Luo Jiajun's people finally reacted, and someone began to blow the horn to warn. The whining horn was not loud at all, but rather hasty. The soldiers in the large camp by the river heard the sound of the horn and began to assemble, and the general on duty roared loudly. And the big ships docked in the water village also began to suffer, and many ironclad soldiers surfaced from the water village and scuttled the warships with their heavy weapons.
"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! ”
The generals in the water village began to shout loudly, and the hastily assembled archers stood on the building boats and lowered their arrows. Dense feathered arrows fell like locusts, but it was meaningless to hit those ironclad soldiers. The cluster of arrows sparkled on the iron armor, but it couldn't break through the defenses of the plate armor at all. These ironclad soldiers are not wearing chain mail or sheet armor, and the armor on their bodies is as if a large piece of steel has been hollowed out, and the iron plate is a finger thick, not to mention feather arrows, even if it is bombarded with a heavy crossbow, it is impossible to shatter it.
Under the dense feathered arrows, the soldiers of the ironclad army began to land on the shore, and then began to form a team as if no one was around, and then began to clean up the Luo family army on the riverbank.
From the very beginning of contact, the two sides were not war, but massacres.
A soldier of the Luo family army staggered back with a pale face, he didn't dare to turn around and run, lest he be hacked to death by the demon on the opposite side as soon as he turned around. His eyes were full of pleading, but the demon's eyes were only cold. When the pressure in his heart reached a certain point, this Luo family soldier finally collapsed, he roared and pounced, and slashed at the shoulder of the ironclad soldier.
Dang!
The steel knife left a mark on the iron armor, and the iron armor soldier shook slightly, but only shaking. There was no disdain in the eyes of the ironclad soldier, he picked up the heavy knife in his hand, and with a pop, the soldier of General Luo was swept into two sections, and the blood and internal organs suddenly gushed out and flowed down the riverbank. At this time, the soldier who was cut off by the waist was not dead, and he dragged half of his body with his two hands, crawled forward, and it was two or three meters before he gradually lost his strength.
The devils came out of the river and took over the banks.
The soldiers who were blocked in the water village had no escape, and each of them had a deep sense of powerlessness and fear in the face of an enemy who could not be killed at all. The demons killed in the water village, forcing General Luo's soldiers to retreat, and the people behind began to jump into the river, they would rather face the rushing river than those demons.
"Mossa!"
Yang Jian roared after coming out of the water, and a stout ironclad general immediately ran over from a distance, like a humanoid tank, making people feel as if the earth was trembling with it.
"Master!"
Mosa ran over and waited for Yang Jian's order.
Yang Jian looked at the large camp on the opposite bank of the river and ordered, "Take your people and level the camp." ”
"Whoa!"
Mosa clenched his fists in agreement, turned and pounced with his team on the shore camp.
"Yang Chong!"
"In!"
"The people who brought you demolished the water village for me!"
"Whoa!"
The soldiers of the Ironclad Army who went ashore first had forced General Luo to retreat step by step, and the people in the water village became lonely, although they had an absolute advantage in numbers, but they were not facing soldiers in the ordinary sense at all, but a group of humanoid killing machines. Those ironclad soldiers didn't seem to have any weaknesses, knives, feathered arrows, spears, hard lances, and the weapons in the hands of General Luo's soldiers did not pose any threat to those ironclad soldiers.
Some of the Ironclad soldiers began to cut down the wooden stakes that supported the water village, and a large piece of wooden building collapsed. Most of the Ironclad soldiers who were smashed below actually came out of the rubble and continued to slaughter.
Yang Jian led a group of people to stride up to the riverbank, standing on the riverbank and looking over there, it was a large endless camp. As the horn continued to sound, the Luo family army in the camp was gathering.
"Send a signal and let our people cross the river!"
He commanded in a loud voice.
His men began to set fire to the shore camp, and soon the flames spread. On the north bank of the river, the Sui troops under Liu Enjing and Xu Xiaogong were also ready, and began to cross the river after seeing the fire on the south bank. They had a small number of warships and a lot of fishing boats, and they didn't dare to cross the river with these things in the past, but now General Luo's sailors were in a mess and lost their command, and in order to avoid being scuttled through, many large ships raised anchors and rowed downstream, and it was too late to turn back.
For a while, a thousand sails rose, and boats of all sizes carried the Sui army and began to cross the river.
"The world is big, I am the king, just a small river, a group of small people who don't enter the stream......"
Yang Jian glanced back at the vast general and muttered to himself, and then walked towards the distance.
