"There are a total of four wooden arrow towers, the water village is surrounded by water on three sides, and one side is a mountain, if you want to exterminate this group of water bandits, you must have boats."

The sailors who took the sentinel ship to reconnoiter came back to report to Chutian.

Chutian summoned 210 professional soldiers, 100 villagers, and 8 sailors to come to the vicinity of the water village and found that the water village was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

There is only one sentry ship in Summertown, which can drop several soldiers at a time, and such a refueling tactic will be consumed alive by the bandits.

"Draw them ashore, we ambush the archers on the shore, and once the other side is ashore, the ambushed archers release their arrows, and the cavalry go up to harvest and capture the opponent's ships."

Chutian arranged a sentinel ship to lure the enemy.

"Lord, let me lead the team."

Liu Sandao volunteered.

"You take three archers to lure the enemy."

"Yes!"

Liu Sandao selected three high-ranking Xuzhou archers and left on a sentinel boat.

Other soldiers lay in ambush in the woods on the shore.

The water village is a big harm to Xia Town, which is close to the Yi River, and no one knows when these water bandits will unite to attack the surrounding villages and towns, and the safest way is to exterminate them.

The location of the water village is typically easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to conquer the water village. But this also means that if the water village can be occupied, then it can become the camp of the Xia Town Water Master in the future, without having to occupy the dock of Xia Town.

This is a step towards the separation of the soldiers and civilians in Xia Town.

Liu Sandao's sentry boat appeared on the outskirts of the water village, and after the two wooden boats of the water bandits found the sentry boat, they quickly came to chase after them.

Liu Sandao held a longbow in his hand, stood at the stern of the ship, and shot several arrows one after another, and a water bandit was shot.

He is a retired marquis of the Han Army, and his personal skills will not be bad.

The water bandits also shot arrows at Liu Sandao's side, and more than a dozen arrows flew on the water.

The sentinel boat was extremely nimble, and eight sailors paddled at the same time, like a sharp arrow on the water, quickly fleeing towards the shore.

The thief ship is just as nimble and in hot pursuit.

"Lord, General Liu has successfully lured the water bandits over!"

"Prepare for battle!"

Chu Tian took out a longbow, although his strength was not high, it still hurt a little.

Xia Zhen's sentry boat docked, Liu Sandao and they abandoned the boat and left, a group of water bandits robbed Xia Zhen's sentry boat, and another group of water bandits were still fighting with Liu Sandao.

Suddenly, the ambush soldiers on the shore fired arrows in unison, and dozens of arrows were shot, covering a group of water bandits!

The arrows sank into their bodies, and several bandits were shot on the spot!

It was the third-order army that attacked them, the sophisticated archers of Xuzhou.

"Oh no, fooled! Brothers, retreat! ”

When the water bandits saw an ambush, they reacted immediately and wanted to escape.

The longbow was taut in Mulan's hands, and the silver-level weapon seemed to be unable to withstand such a high level of force, and it had a tendency to break.

The arrows were like meteors, and the small leader of the bandits on the ship fell in response.

The bandits who had lost the command of the small leader fell into a panic, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the shore was their talisman.

The light cavalry quickly came to the shore, dismounted and killed the thief ship!

Liu Sandao took the opportunity to counterattack and try his best to leave the thief ship behind before it fled!

Shooting the water bandits is still secondary, and seizing the ship to attack the water village is the key.

Hua Mulan used the high-level skill "Hundred Steps Through Yang" rewarded by Chu Tian to constantly shoot water bandits, basically killing water bandits with one arrow.

However, even military generals have physical limitations, and their arms will be soreness after shooting arrows one after another.

Soon nearly twenty bandits were killed in two thief boats, and several more escaped by jumping into the river.

Two pirate ships were captured. The ships used by the bandits are similar to the characteristics of the sentry ships in Xia Village, and they are fast and agile in inland rivers, but they do not have women's walls, thick decks, or bed crossbows, so they are not considered warships.

Now Chu Tian had three sentinel ships on hand, which could probably carry thirty soldiers and sailors.

In other words, it was necessary to conquer a water village with thirty soldiers and sailors.

It's a bit difficult, but it's not necessarily impossible.

There is a Mulan on Chutian's side who has the skill of "Piercing Yang in a Hundred Steps", as long as he makes good use of this skill, he can let Mulan eliminate the water bandits one by one.

There is also a Liu Sandao who specializes in using bows and arrows.

The Xuzhou archers could not exert their full strength when fighting on the water, and they could barely use it.

Melee combat is also an issue when approaching the Water Village.

If all the archers are used, then after successfully attacking the water wall, the archers will only be forced to fight in close combat.

Of course, the archer can use it as an ordinary infantry when he draws his sword, but his attributes will decrease.

"It should be no problem for archers to be warriors, but by the time they attack the water village, the morale of the water bandits is estimated to have fallen to the bottom."

Chutian had to consider not only the types of troops and the terrain, but also the changes in morale.

The water village is the nest of the water bandits, once he attacks the water village, the morale of the water bandits will definitely drop significantly, and even the melee archers should be able to deal with them.

So Chutian selected twenty Xuzhou archers, eight sailors, as well as Hua Mulan, Liu Sandao and himself, a total of 31 people, and took the initiative to attack Shuizhai.

Hua Mulan was a little worried: "Please stay here, and we will come back to report after breaking the water village." ”

"I'm going to take command of this battle myself."

Chu Tian pressed a king-level military general and a gold-level military general at one time, and he was not worried about this battle, so he had to play in person. At the same time, he is also going through a brutal battle.

If you don't go to the battlefield in person, you can't understand what the frontline is all about. Anyone can talk about soldiers on paper, as a lord, unless monarchs such as Cao Cao, Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin and other monarchs who often fight, it is not good to personally intervene in the command of the battle, for example, Qin Shi Huang simply temporarily delegated the military power to Wang Jian and ordered him to command 600,000 Qin troops to destroy the Chu State.

But Chutian is a self-made lord, and without the accumulation of Qin Shi Huang, he can't fight the remnants of the sixth emperor and revitalize the long-term strategy to win the universe.

All in all, a lord who doesn't want to be a commander is not a good entrepreneur.

The three sentinel ships were ready, and Chu Tian, Hua Mulan, and Liu Sandao each commanded a sentinel ship and quickly approached the water village.

The water village is dominated by wooden houses, dozens of wooden houses are connected into a village, and four wooden arrow towers stand.

The greatest threat to the sentinel ships is the three-meter-high wooden arrow tower.

The water village was originally higher than the water surface, and coupled with the height of the wooden arrow tower, it reached four meters, which was condescending.

There are two bandit archers standing guard on each of the wooden arrow towers.

Mulan's sentry ship was the first to attack, and the sailors and the less skilled rowers of the archers rowed desperately to use the agility of the sentry ship to dodge the attacks of the wooden arrow tower.

Hua Mulan stood alone in the bow of the ship, her bow was like a full string, and she directly shot the bandit archers on a wooden arrow tower!

The second arrow missed, nailing it to the planks of the wooden arrow tower, splattering wood chips.

When the remaining bandit archers secretly rejoiced, a third arrow hit him in the chest, killing the cloth-clothed bandit archer instantly.

A wooden arrow tower temporarily loses its attack ability.

The other wooden arrow towers reacted and used their bows and arrows to attack the incoming boat, shooting at the Xuzhou archers on the boat.

The threat of the wooden arrow tower was still very great, and a Xia Zhen sailor and a Xuzhou archer were shot.

The water bandits in the entire water village were alarmed by the attack, and dozens of fierce water bandits poured out.

Chu Tian's scalp was numb when he looked at the warship, how many water bandits were there in this water village?
