Chapter 81: The Battle of the River Embankment
A fresh breeze swept on the surface of Chaohu Lake, rippling round and round. Jia Nian, who was standing on the river embankment, moved his gaze from the surface of Chaohu Lake to the barracks.
I saw that an earthen wall was being built at a very fast pace, and a trench was formed where the earth was taken.
After a little calculation in my heart, after half an hour, this place will definitely be successfully completed.
At this time, exclamations came out from the side, and Tang Yanqing pointed to the water and shouted: "Village chief, boat, enemy ship"
"Boat?" Jia Nian hurriedly looked at the surface of Chaohu Lake, only to see a dense boat appear in front of him.
The scarlet blood bar exuded hostility, and there were no less than a hundred of them.
His heart sank, and he had to hold on for half an hour before he could trap them in one fell swoop with the help of an earthen wall.
Thinking of this, he shouted to the soldiers around him: "Deqiu"
"In" Sun Deqiu stepped forward and shouted loudly.
Jia Nian quickly ordered: "Take the crossbowmen of this team to stick to the river embankment"
"No," Sun De begged in reply, and the twenty-nine crossbowmen standing beside him loaded the crossbow arrows at the same time.
Click......
A series of reloading crossbow arrows sounded, and twenty-nine crossbowmen, led by Sun Deqiu, stared at the direction of the water.
Jia Nian instructed Tang Yanqing: "Yanqing, you take your team and me to the river embankment to meet the enemy."
"No" Tang Yanqing replied loudly, and led the nineteen sword soldiers behind him to follow Jia Nian to the river.
Jia Nian stopped by the river with twenty sword soldiers, and then the sword soldiers were divided into four rows and stood respectfully behind Jia Nian.
Twenty-one eyes stared at the front, ready for battle. A sense of slaughter spreads quietly, and although the brutal war will cost some lives, it is clearly worth it in this troubled world.
……
On the small boat at the head, a burly water thief looked at Jia Nian, who was standing by the river in armor, with a contemptuous gaze. Twenty-one people also want to stop us and others, isn't it a fool's dream?
"I heard that the head of the house told us to go in both directions, but I didn't know where those people were again," the water thief at the head said loudly.
The two water thieves standing behind him let out a chuckle.
"They? They are just wild dogs raised by the head of the house, and it is just a matter of pulling them out to be strong. If you want them to work hard, I think it's better to be free."
"We are one of the real forces that the head of the family can rely on, and those people are just grass on the wall"
"I heard that the population of Changhe Village was only ten people in the past, and they robbed the head of the house one after another, which is why it has the current scale."
"Robbing the head of the house? What a thief."
"If it weren't for the fact that the head of the family was planning a big event and couldn't be separated, this Changhe Village would have been left without chickens and dogs as early as a month ago, how could it survive to this day"
"The leader, waiting for the battle to enter Changhe Village, can you kill on a large scale?"
"In this Changhe Village, we not only have to kill all of them, but also kill them all. Let them know what will happen to the robber of the head of the house."
When the two water thieves heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts, and shouted "yes" in unison
"Raise the flag and let them go to the slaughter of the village," the leader commanded loudly.
The two water thieves picked up the ship's flag and waved it a few times in the sky.
Looking at the meaning conveyed by the flag, all the water thieves let out a burst of cheers at the same time, and there was no doubt that killing was their favorite.
……
A group of small boats docked, and dozens of water thieves rushed from the boats to the shore like a gust of wind.
Jia Nian took twenty sword soldiers and waved the big knife in his hand at the same time, and killed the water thieves who got off the boat.
The sound of swords and swords, swords and swords intersecting, is incessant, and the water thieves are numerous, like boundless waves surging in front of them.
Judging from the river embankment, the sword soldiers carried by Jia Nian were like a stubborn stone blocking the front.
Violent voices came from the water: "Separate landings"
"Yes," the thieves shouted in unison, taking the pulp and slashing to the left and right.
Looking at the small boats lined up, Jia Nian couldn't help but feel anxious, and shouted at Tang Yanqing: "You take five sword soldiers to the left to intercept"
"Divide ten sword soldiers to the right, and the rest hold on to this place," Jia Nian quickly ordered.
Tang Gaoming shouted the order: "No"
The twenty sword soldiers were divided into two, Tang Gaoming pounced on the left with four swordsmen, ten swordsmen pounced on the right, and Jia Nian held on to the spot with four swordsmen.
Looking at the scattered sword soldiers, the leader of the water thieves had a fierce look in his eyes, and waved his hand heavily. With ten small boats behind him, he went straight to the direction where Jia Nian was.
"Kill" shouted loudly, and the leader of the water thieves jumped off the boat first and stood on the shore.
Before he could fully stand still, he hurriedly waved the big knife in his hand and killed him.
Dozens of water thieves followed closely behind and fought against Jia Nian.
Sun Deqiu, who was standing on the river embankment, saw that the lower part was gradually losing power, so he stretched out his hand and waved, and the crossbowmen divided into three teams.
One team points to the bottom left, one team points to the bottom right, and the last team stands in the middle pointing straight down.
"Let go" Sun Deqiu shouted.
The crossbowmen activated their crossbows at the same time and fired under the embankment.
Woohoo......
The bolts turned into a straight line and swooped down on the riverbank.
-220
-300
-150
-180
Dense layers of damage came to mind, and one crossbow bolt after another flew downward.
"Attack in a roundabout way, destroy the crossbowmen," the leader of the thieves yelled at the top of his voice.
The water thieves scattered one after another, and hurriedly strode in the left and right directions.
Tang Yanqing and Jia Nian fought hard with their swords to intercept them, but there were still many water thieves who rushed through the interception place and rushed up.
Looking at the rushing water thieves, the crossbowman adjusted the direction of the crossbow in his hand and launched an attack on the water thieves.
Woohoo......
Another round of crossbow arrows violently suppressed the momentum of the water thieves rushing up.
Jia Nian breathed a sigh of relief and launched a fierce attack on the water thieves around him.
Under the cover of crossbow arrows, the swordsmen fought with the water thieves, and the two sides gradually fell into anxiety.
Time passed slowly, and whether it was the physical strength of more than a hundred water thieves or the soldiers of Changhe Village, there were gradually sequelae of exhaustion.
However, something more deadly also quietly emerged, as the speed of the shot became faster and faster, the crossbow arrows behind him had been unconsciously depleted.
When the last bolt was exhausted, the thieves roared in unison.
"Kill"
As the voice fell, the morale of more than 100 water thieves soared, and they killed the sword soldiers around them.
Looking at the rushing water thief, Jia Nian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted him with a knife.
Sun Deqiu handed the crossbow in his hand to a crossbowman, and looked around at the five people behind him: "You take the crossbow back to the barracks immediately, and the rest of the people will draw their swords to fight."
The twenty-four crossbowmen threw their crossbows on the ground and lined up on the embankment.
The five crossbowmen quickly picked up the crossbows on the ground and ran towards the barracks.
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps, and I saw Tang Gaoming arrive with nineteen sword soldiers carrying Guo Dapang.
"Reinforcements, kill," Sun Deqiu took the opportunity to yell.
The crossbowmen shouted "kill" in unison
The morale skyrocketed instantly, and all the sword soldiers rushed to the river, fighting with the more than 100 water thieves.
Looking at the enemy army that suddenly joined, the morale of the water thieves plummeted, and they were finally beaten down again from the river embankment.
