"A-class mission expands territory!"

Beat the Tang King's 'territory' to the north of the three counties of Texas......

Zhu Biao finally received a task, and Shangguan Renqing and Shi Yuan's mention ignored him.

At the time when the telegram was on Tang Wang's desk, the 200,000 infantry cavalry army had already begun to sort out the military supplies.

May is Zhu Biao's thirtieth birthday, and he only has two months left. I was dizzy, and I remembered that I had to seize every second in June

On March 20, Zhu Biao's army went straight to Bonan, and when the Tang King's written decision had not yet been delivered, only the news came from the flying pigeons.

The main cavalry reached the north bank of the Pingjiang River on the 23rd, and the subsequent 60,000 infantry armor, together with the necessary military equipment, and tens of thousands of carriages, did not arrive until the 25th.

At the same time, Liu Menglong, the general of the building boat who retreated to the intersection of the Changhe River and the Pingjiang River at the mouth of Changping, led 5,000 naval troops and 100 warships to go up the river and come to help. and last year, Zhou Jun had a confrontation with the new naval battalion in Pingjiang, and there was no winner or loser.

Liu Menglong, who had a force of 10,000 people, lost more than half of his troops and almost collapsed since he suffered a big loss in the Battle of Xiling in Lechun. In the past half a year, he could only shrink at the mouth of Changping, while blocking the Zhou army and sailors in the Changhe River from entering Pingjiang, and at the same time 'recruiting troops and building ships' to restore his strength.

However, Shangguan Renqing and Shi Yuan were defeated one after another, and the flames of war burned under Chengbo City, and Liu Menglong's troops who stayed at Changpingkou almost cut off contact with the main force of the Tang army, and almost became a lone army.

If the Zhou army's naval division is not afraid of losses, the Changhe and Pingjiang divisions take the opportunity to storm Changpingkou and attack from both sides, and they will definitely be able to take Shiguiyu, an important island in the middle of the lake in Changpingkou, and take a fortress that has been operated by the Tang army's naval division for more than ten years.

But the Zhou Junshui Division did not move Liu Menglong's department, and everyone thought that they could use the pressure of reality to make Liu Menglong obediently submit.

All you need is the army to take Bozhou and enter Youzhou. Liu Menglong completely cut off the land route, and Shiguiyu was even a major place for sailors. Without the support of the land route, how long can he support the military rations?

In the end, in addition to surrendering obediently, the only way to set sail was to set sail, enter the Chang River, and go north.

No matter what choice Liu Menglong makes, the Zhou army's gains are better than the storming of Shiguiyu, isn't it?

Zhou Jun Water Division, Zhou Army Land Division, abacus dialed very well. But they never imagined that the situation would suddenly change so drastically.

After more than half a year of recuperation, Liu Menglong's water division has only recovered to seven or eight thousand people, and now one remains. Together with Shi Yuan's troops who withdrew from the northern line of the Jiangjiang River, they sent a battalion of infantry armor to Shiguiyu to wait for the old nest, and personally led 5,000 main water divisions to trace the west of the river!

The main general of the Pingjiang Water Division of the Zhou Army was Wang Wei, the defender of Lechun who had pit Liu Menglong, and in the second Battle of Lechun, which can also be called the Battle of Xiling, Wang Wei was also a big role in it.

Wang Wei's department has 10,000 people, but there are not as many warships as Liu Menglong's department, and Liu Menglong's department is not as perfect, so the two sides are evenly matched.

As a high-cost and high-tech unit. The most important thing for a sailor is the boat, not the people. Liu Menglong has many warships, large and small offensive and defensive ships, one dozen and two. Stress-free. For example, in the Battle of Huang Tiandang in Chinese history, Han Shizhong only had 8,000 people, didn't he still trap Jin Wushu to death?

"Uh......h Woo......"

Ships were dispatched from the water village one after another. Liu Menglong stood at the bow of the boat, full of spirit. With a sense of relaxation, it felt as if the speed of the warship was a cut higher than before. In fact, the increased speed was not his illusion. It's real.

Shiguiyu is completely out of danger, and it doesn't feel too good to 'converge' with the large army again.

On the opposite side of the water village, that is, on the bank of the river in Lechun County, the camp of the Pingjiang Water Division of the Zhou Army is also constantly swallowing warships.

The second meeting between the two armies in Pingjiang is just around the corner.

"Dashuai, can General Liu win?"

Xing Mao looked at the river with some concern, five thousand against ten thousand, even if the warship was superior, he couldn't rest assured of Liu Menglong.

The generals behind him also looked concerned, and Liu Menglong's water division was their only hope to cross the Pingjiang River and capture the seventeen counties in the southeast. If this battle is lost, the Pingjiang River, which is four or five miles wide, will really be a moat.

Only Zhu Biao's face is plain, and his heart is full of confidence. After he saw Liu Menglong, Liu Menglong's department was automatically incorporated into his subordinates, and the system increase was already shrouded in Liu Menglong's water division. With a 20% increase in combat power, speed, and defense, how can Liu Menglong be defeated today?

"Collision"

The distance between the two armies on the water is getting closer and closer, Zhu Biao raised the clairvoyant mirror, and said silently in his heart, the strongest combat skill of the A-rank sailor collided and stimulated!

There is no time for naval battles, when flints fall into the sky, fireballs shuttle like rain, and water battles in rivers, warships are not a grade lower than naval battles.

In naval warfare, the lowest-level sea falcon ship, which was placed in the Pingjiang River, was already a medium-sized warship. And the same building ships and fighting ships, the building ships and fighting ships in the Pingjiang Water Battle are two grades smaller than the building ships and fighting ships during the East China Sea Naval Battle.

The building ships and fighting ships here carry 300 people.

Water warfare here relies on ramming, on bows and crossbows, not on throwing stones.

"Click...... Click......"

It was on the shore that Zhu Biao and the others could clearly hear the violent sound of the warships colliding and the wooden planks breaking.

"Hehe, did the craftsmen in the Zhou Jun's cabin cut corners?"

The result on the water made the people on the shore wait for a while, and the half-loud Dou Bing's surprised voice changed tone before the howl sounded.

There was a buzz, puzzled, incredulous, and unbelievable, and the heavy inner mood turned into a sentence, noisy in Zhu Biao's ears.

In the collision between the two sides, the Zhou army's sailors sank two building ships and two fighting ships in one go, and several ships were parked on the river......

Wang Wei stood on the bow of the flagship, using a clairvoyant mirror to peek at the first line not far away.

The Tang Army's naval division building ship, the ship is three zhang high, the color of Dan lacquer, the upper, middle and lower three floors, the rooms are complete, the sails are lined up, the battleship covers the river, it is indeed very grand.

It's one level stronger than your own warship, but your own warship isn't so weak that it collapses when it collides, right?

After looking at it for a while, Wang Wei put down the clairvoyant mirror and said to the generals around him: "The enemy ship is connected from end to end, the ship is strong, and although the momentum is strong, the advance and retreat are slow, and it can be attacked by fire." ”

"General, although it is the east wind. But you can also choose a warrior to sail a small boat, the ship is full of fuel-poured firewood, close to the enemy ship, and set fire to the wind, but the Tang army warship is equipped with a shooting rod, which can be taken down from the top, but I am afraid that I can't get close to it lightly. ”

Fire prevention of warships, 1. The hull of the ship is smeared with mud, or covered with copper sheet or iron sheet. 2. Install a giant wood on the bow of the ship to resist the fire ship in the future. making it inaccessible. 3. Pay attention to the wind direction before the war, and try to occupy the upwind and water direction. 4. Priority is given to long-range attacks in water combat. Try to use ranged weapons such as crossbows and trebuchets and avoid close combat. 5. Use small boats to patrol around the capital ships. Lose the car and protect the handsome. 6. It is the lever of the ship's side device, which weighs hundreds of kilograms, and is implicated by the winch.

A small boat, such as a fireboat, is enough to sink to the bottom of the water with a single blow.

"The big war is hard. It's up to the soldiers to use their lives. Wang Wei said without hesitation, ordering: "Pass my military order, and the fireboat will attack!" ”

"No!"

At the sound of an order, behind large and medium-sized warships. Hundreds of boats poured out, and schools of fish crossed the river to grab the limelight.

Zhou Jun's move, anyone can see it clearly.

Zhu Biao's eyes flashed, knowing that Zhou Jun was going to set fire to the ship.

The drums of war are booming. Sonic boom on the surface of the river.

Liu Menglong was leading the army to attack taking advantage of the victory, and the Tang army's warships moved flexibly, especially a fleet led by Liu Menglong himself. Seventeen ships attacked bravely, unstoppable wherever they went.

The fire bolts were dense like rain, passing through the void on the river, and from time to time the enemy and our fleets were inflamed, and the flames rushed up, or set the sails on fire, or burned the boats, and the ships on both sides were in chaos.

In the fierce battle between the two sides, Liu Menglong's boat also caught fire, but he stood on the bow deck of the ship, although the arrows were flying wildly, he was not moved, he just scolded the soldiers to extinguish the fire, and ordered the sailors below to continue to paddle hard.

The Tang Army's sailors and ships were very strong, and their strength was already superior to that of the Zhou Army. Now that it has been increased by the system, the combat power is even more incomparable to Zhou Jun.

However, the Zhou army was overwhelming, and each building ship, 300 people could be full, and 400 people were forced to fit in, or even more. Relying on the strength of the troops, it was dark with the Tang army for a while.

The two armies held their own and fought desperately.

From the morning to the afternoon, the sound of collisions, shouts of killing, and miserable screams permeated the heavens and the earth, and the whole river, as far as the eye could see, was full of floating and unsunken wrecked dead bodies, and the river water was red for several miles.

With the battle, the Tang Army's naval division, which has a systematic increase, has gained the upper hand.

At this time, it was too late for Liu Menglong to see that the Zhou army was strong, one warship was defeated and destroyed, and another warship came to the top again. Although he is an elite soldier, he has few people, and if he keeps fighting like this, even if he can win, he will definitely suffer heavy losses in the end. So it was decided to send an elite team to bypass the main battlefield of the fighting martyrs, and attack and kill the boat of Wang Wei, the commander of the Zhou army's naval division, from the side.

Liu Menglong was able to do this, and it was indeed because of the situation that the Tang Army had the advantage. In the confrontation with the Zhou army's naval division, there was still room for manpower to send people to find Wang Wei's flagship.

"General, the Tang Army's naval division is ......" Wang Wei's personal general saw a detachment of the Tang Army's naval division bypassing the front of the battlefield and rushing straight towards Wang Wei in a boat, and his face immediately changed.

"What are you panicking about? Send someone to the top."

Wang Wei's expression remained unchanged, he couldn't risk the arrows and stones now, and he could rush to the front, but it was no problem to stand behind the formation and command the battle.

A partial division wants to force himself back, Liu Menglong underestimates himself too much.

At that moment, after Wang Wei refused, he shouted loudly: "This general is fighting to the death, and this general will never be allowed to take half a step back, and send an order to the army, do your best in this battle, and never retreat!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the morale of the entire warship was shaken. The Tang Army's attack on Wang Wei's boat was also completely blocked by the brave Zhou army guarding the naval warship.

But when a small boat reached the shore, things changed again.

"Dashuai, Pingjiang is not as powerful as Fujiang, and the Zhou army is more powerful, I'm afraid it ......"

"There's nothing to be afraid of. On this river and sea, no one can stop me."

With a wave of his hand, interrupting the words of the generals behind him, Zhu Biao's feet surged out, and his whole body threw missiles towards the river.

The white waves were surging, only rolling under Zhu Biao's feet. He doesn't have the ability to cross miles in the air, but he can climb Ping and cross the water like walking on the ground, but he is completely at ease.

It was like an arrow off the string, crossing the battlefield of the enemy and us, and shooting towards Wang Wei in a boat.

"What?"

"Man, look, that's a ...... of a person"

Zhu Biao just wanted to attract the attention of both armies, so that he could kill Wang Wei and make the Zhou army's sailors lose their hearts in one fell swoop.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows quickly......"

The generals of the Zhou Army's naval divisions, who had already reacted, shouted. But it was completely suppressed by the cheers set off by the Tang Army's naval division. The latter were all recognized. This figure walking on the waves is not his own handsome.

A Zhou army fighting ship swooped straight up and blocked Zhu Biao's way.

Now in the Zhou army, how many people don't know how powerful Zhu Biao's single force is? is less than thirty years old, but he has killed grandmaster-level masters many times. Zhu Biao's fame in the Central Plains is resounding, not something he can imagine. It doesn't matter if that reputation is good or bad!

And looking at Zhu Biao's current situation of stepping on the waves, if this allows him to penetrate the warship and kill the main general on the ship, then it will be repaid?

Zhou Jun naturally tried his best to intercept it.

The sound of "whoosh" breaking through the air sounded sharply. I don't know how many sharp arrows are shooting towards Zhu Biao. The sky above his head was almost completely covered with black arrows.

It's really a waste. But if you can shoot Zhu Biao, it will be a waste of ten times, who will say that you don't know?

Zhu Biao didn't use "Sleeve Universe", nor did he use "Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeve", but just transported "Decant Water Divine Skill", which is a peerless housekeeper of the water system in the seven veins of the Seven Evil Sects.

The five elements of yin and yang, the seven evils and seven cultivations, except for the feminine "Xuanyin True Scripture". "Dehydration Divine Skill" is the most profound practice of Zhu Biao's seven veins today. He's water by nature!

The river under his feet seemed to be churned by a dragon, violently stirring, and the waves could fly up to a height of more than a foot, completely enveloping Zhu Biao's entire figure. But this package is not completely covered. Zhu Biao's figure can still be seen vaguely but definitely through the gaps in the waves.

This gave the Zhou army the last hope, and wave after wave of arrows and crossbows were shot at Zhu Biao, but thousands of arrows and crossbows were completely swallowed by the endless waves.

It's the bed crossbow on the fighting ship. An arrow can crush at most a wave. Not to mention those arrows. Surrounded by the waves, Zhu Biao's speed did not decrease but increased, and he directly killed the fighting ship.

The white bone sword light flashed, 'boom boom boom ......'

The wall of the ship a few inches behind the fighting ship was lightly blasted open by the sword. Each gap is a dense water tank that runs directly through the inside. Hundreds of tons of river water poured into the boats. The fighting ship, which had fired a thousand arrows just now, immediately sank in the bow, and the butt of the ship quickly lifted......

The fighting ship was hit by this, and the sailors on board were immediately greatly affected, and the screams came and went. Then hordes of sailors began to jump out of the boats, and after falling into the water, they swam desperately outward. But just like that, dozens of people were carried to the bottom of the river by the whirlpool of the sunken ship.

When Zhu Biao stepped on Wang Wei's boat, a military general in heavy armor roared angrily: "Kill, kill with me, as long as you kill the Zhu thief, our army will win this battle, and the Son of Heaven will not be stingy with rewards!" ”

"Kill, kill a wife!"

A large number of Zhou soldiers were either encouraged, or they were coerced by Wang Wei's own soldiers, anyway, they were hysterical with red eyes, and rushed straight to Zhu Biao along the strings of the ships on both sides.

But can these stop Zhu Biao?

Everyone knows it's impossible.

Water warfare, not land warfare. Martial arts masters, especially water masters, can play a far better role here than on the plain battlefield.

Xie Jing is a brave general, wearing heavy armor, taking the lead in killing Zhu Biao, the long knife is horizontally extended, and the blade of the whirring blade wraps Zhu Biao's whole body.

But the difference in strength between him and Zhu Biao is really too much. A light blue cloud emanated from Zhu Biao's body, thick into a ball, and was tumbling fiercely.

When Xie Jing slashed down, Zhu Biao, who had been motionless at the bow of the battle, shook his hand violently, and the light blue cloud boiled, and a biting extreme cold instantly swept the entire bow.

The knife stayed in mid-air and did not move. People, stalemate on the deck did not move.

Zhu Biao struck a blow, and nearly 100 people died in the bow of the ship.

"Kill, as long as we kill the thief, we can all be promoted to the third pole and be knighted and marquis!"

Wang Wei drew his long sword and howled wildly.

A wave of energy spread in all directions, like a layer of ripples out of thin air, the wooden pillars of the cabin were all destroyed, and dozens of armor soldiers spurted blood and fell into the water. The splattering wooden needles and thorns pierced human flesh like shrunken arrows.

The cries, the screams, the muffled sound of the human body being shattered filled the eardrums that pierced everyone.

In the midst of the crowd, there was a terrible wail, and in just a moment, the blood on the ship soaked the deck, and kept flowing, and from time to time flesh and blood fell from the ship.

Wang Wei's personal soldiers are absolutely elite and strong, and the fighting spirit of the sailors on the ship is also very tenacious.

But when there were only about a hundred of the four or five hundred people left, the most stubborn hearts were cracked. Zhu Biao deliberately did not kill Wang Wei first, because he saw that a large number of Zhou warships had returned to the rescue.

He wants to show his strength, to show his strength.

Therefore, Wang Wei stayed in the last kill, and first killed the courage of the Zhou soldiers on the ship.

The ship gradually fell silent, and all kinds of dying wails were heard. Zhu Biao succeeded, and he broke Zhou Bing's courage.

In a boat of four or five hundred people, only Zhu Biao and Wang Wei were left standing. In addition to the dozens of wounded soldiers lying on the boat, the rest were thirty or forty people who jumped ship to escape.

The surrounding area is the warship of the Zhou Army's naval division, but none of the officers dared to command the warship to really come to the rescue.

They were scared. The bloody warship frightened them. The blood and red-stained river left on the warship frightened them.

Wang Wei was nailed to the wall of the ship by Zhu Biao, and a half-folded spear pierced through his shoulder and nailed to the wall of the ship behind him.

Wang Wei looked at Zhu Biao fiercely, gasping, but he didn't have the strength to struggle in the slightest. At the same time as Zhu Biao was throwing the gun, the "Xuanyin Finger" was dotted and his acupuncture points had been sealed.

Wang Wei can't even make a sound now, he can only express his hatred with his eyes. But Zhou Bing outside couldn't see his eyes, he just thought that Wang Wei was completely frightened, and he didn't dare to resist at all, so he was ready to die!

A human head was in Zhu Biao's hands, and the morale of the Zhou army's sailors collapsed. (To be continued)
