Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

"Repeated sieges, but nothing! Even a city as strong as Yanping was also broken by our army with one blow, and a county town the size of this camp could not be attacked! Why? ”

The main camp of the Zhao army and the big tent of the Chinese army.

At this point, it was already nightfall. The lights in Yang Guangsheng's tent were transparent, and the officers of the colonel and above under his command gathered here. On the main seat, Yang Guangsheng did not take off his armor and sat with his sword, without the slightest expression on his face. Only a pair of big eyes are shining under the lights, and the light is in full bloom!

When they sat down, they concentrated on their spirits and did not dare to make any movements.

"Kill—"

The roaring sound of horses' hooves sounded, the gate of Yiqing County opened, and Yang Yanzhang led five hundred horsemen to gallop out of the city gate.

In the sneak attack at night, Zhao Jun should not have much defense. After all, they had ten times the strength of the Han army in the city. The lion will never worry about the movements of a rabbit.

And the five hundred armored cavalry led by Yang Yanzhang is really small, and even half of the patrol force outside the battalion guarded by the Zhao army at night is not even half.

However, Yang Yanzhang relied on the advantage of the Hedong Army's combat strength to break through a small village of the Zhao Army in the southeast corner of the city gate.

Suddenly, I heard that the big tent was fighting, and Yang Guangsheng and others in the tent were in a mess. The tent will hurriedly get up and go out, and find that a small village in the main camp in Nanshou has been attacked. The generals returned to their own armies or their own camps, and the fighting stopped after half a ring.

Yang Guangsheng sat back to fight angrily, and after a while, the curtain was lifted, and he saw a person rolling in. As soon as Yang Guangsheng looked at the person, he couldn't help but get up! It's not that this person's identity is special, but that his description is really wolf!

It seems that he should be a low-level general at the Dubo level, wearing a robe and armor, and he is still very complete, but he is covered in blood, and his face is also stained with blood, so he can't see his true face. On the armor, a deep mark on the left rib is clearly visible! After rushing in, he knelt on the ground and reported to Yang Guangsheng breathlessly.

"The Han general takes the lead, heroic and majestic, and makes an iron spear invincible!

Burst into the camp and stabbed to death the leading soldier Sima with one shot, and then picked out two military marquis in the army one after another, plus several Dubo, no one could stop him! Our army has no generals, and it is a great defeat and a rout, and there are no seven or eight out of ten. Because the sky was dark, and the Han army did not know other truths, they did not pursue, so they fled for their lives. ”

looked at Yang Guangsheng again, his face was pale, his eyes flashed, his right hand tightly probed the hilt of the sword, his cheeks couldn't help agitating, and he was already extremely angry.

"Tomorrow when I rebel, when I march into the army, and then give me a storming of Yiqing-"

Yang Guangsheng pulled out the sword at his waist with a 'chok' and slashed forward! The thick handsome case in front of him should be split in two.

Jiangjin City.

In terms of the pressure Zhu Biao faced on this day, the fight in Yiqing County was completely pediatric. Boundless, there are black crowds of people outside the city, how fierce will the offensive of the Zhao army be under the play of these crowds as the cornerstone?

Moreover, the Zhao army, which occupied a section of the Luoming River, was along the waterway, and the ships carried a lot of siege equipment that were unloaded into parts, and the Zhao army that Zhu Biao endured was completely in a 'frenzied' situation.

The Jiangjin 'sailors' who had an attribute increase also resisted the Zhao army's sailors for a while. Although neither side is a regular warship, the Zhao army is a regular sailor after all, and they are still smooth sailing, and the advantage is not too absolute. It's not that these sailors have a strong Qingjiang Gang color, and they may have lost the attribute amplification.

"Gang Leader Fan, today's water war seems ordinary, but it is actually extremely important. Qingjiang helped the state to make meritorious achievements. I wish Biao the great Han Xie gang leader. ”

In the county guard's mansion, in front of Jiang Jin Taishou and others, Zhu Biao bowed heavily to Fan Shixiu.

The panicked Fan Shixiu was at a loss, his brain was confused, what did Zhu Biao mean by that? Why can't he understand?

It's just a small battle, with only three or five hundred dead and wounded, and even a fraction of the city walls are insufficient, how can Zhu Dashuai be so ...... Super solemn?

"Don't dare, don't dare. Zhu Shuai can't be like this. Fan Shixiu hurriedly avoided it, he who had always been able to talk about the lotus flower would come to trouble, and he was really at a loss. Why don't I understand? ”

"Haha......" patted Fan Shixiu on the shoulder with a confused look, and Zhu Biao laughed heartily, "Fan Gang Master, listen to Zhu Mou's words." If you can block the Zhao army sailors on the water, then the Luoming River waterway will be firmly controlled in our hands. The grain, grass, materials, weapons, armor, and instruments that Zhao Jun arrived from Yanzhou all needed to be unloaded on the water surface before our Jiangjin City, and they were transported by land.

If its main force wants to go around Jiangjin and march eastward...... How laborious? ”

Moreover, the place where these materials and grain and grass are hoarded can also be said to be the front-line supply terminal of the 500,000 Zhao army that entered the army this time. Just like the black nest of Yuan Shaojun's army during the Battle of Guandu, it was the only flaw that could kill the 500,000 Zhao army in one blow in addition to defeating the 500,000 Zhao army head-on.

If the main force of the Zhao army really does not fight the siege of Jiangjin City, and the troops are approaching Beiping, then it will be applauded.

It's just that he can't understand these words to outsiders, and all he can say is the excuse he said just now.

As for whether Zhao Jun will really use the water transportation in the area west of Jiangjin, there is no need to think about it at all. Compared with land transportation, water transportation is too labor-saving, labor-saving, and cost-saving. It's not a grade at all, Zhao Jun will not let go of the waterway when his brain is broken, and go to collect hundreds of thousands of Ding Zhuang laborers to transport by land. Not to mention whether these Han children will really make an honest contribution in the process of tiring and long-distance transportation.

The camp of the Zhao army outside Jiangjin City is fifteen miles away from the city.

The distance of fifteen miles is not too far, but in half an hour, the army that covers the sky and the earth has reached the outside of Jiangjin City.

The entire Jiangjin City was in a solemn atmosphere, the city gate was closed, and on the city wall, there were also six or seven thousand soldiers and horses to garrison, as if facing a great enemy.

Zhu Biao stood at the head of the city and looked down, only to see that the black pressure was boundless, full of well-equipped troops, and the scene of yesterday reappeared today, and it was still majestic.

After a night's rest, the morale of Zhao Jun's damaged yesterday seems to have been restored.

However, Jiangjin City is still so high and thick in city defense, built of blue bricks, ten zhang high, and there are many battlements and disc towers and horse faces on the city gate wall, forming a large number of frontal and crossfire networks on both sides.

There is also a moat flowing under the city, a moat more than ten zhang wide, which is the first line of defense of Jiangjin City.

Yesterday, the Zhao army killed and injured thousands of people, but they didn't even touch the city wall, and all of them died on the sheep and horse wall in front of the moat.

The river is constantly surrounding, all of which are the living water of the Luoming River, and Jiangjin City is like a lonely city in the water, which makes it a little difficult to start.

"Zhao Thief's carving insect skills."

In the Zhao army, there were already generals, under the instruction of Zhao Sheng, with thousands of soldiers, to Jiangjin City to call for battle, and the soldiers with loud voices in the army were sent out, taking turns to taunt, intending to stimulate the Han army in the city to meet the battle.

Zhu Biao naturally ignored it, and after half an hour, Jiangjin City was still hanging high on the suspension bridge, and he couldn't go out. So Zhao Jun's scolding became louder and louder.

General Zhao's words of disdain and Zhao Bing's arrogant laughter were extremely clear and heard in the ears of the guards of Jiangjin City.

Being so insulted, most of the soldiers and soldiers were strong in blood, so they were naturally filled with righteous indignation. If ordered by the generals, no one is allowed to go out of the city to meet the battle without permission. That morale will inevitably be low, and the morale of the army will be shaken because of this.

Who is Zhu Biao? Zhu Biao is the god general who led them to defeat strong enemies repeatedly, and he is the first general in the hearts of Han soldiers. This little trick won't help at all.

And Tang Bing, after the previous battle of morning glory in the grassland, the menacing Zhao army is just like this, and everyone will throw themselves to Zhu Biao. He also obeyed the decisions he made unconditionally.

It is useless for Zhao Jun to play falsely, and he still has to rely on strength to speak, and he has to rely on swords and guns to speak.

However, there are 40,000 infantry armor and 30,000 cavalry troops in the city, although there are nearly 10,000 county soldiers and townsmen in the infantry armor, but with such a force guarding a city under the increase of the system, Zhu Biao really has no pressure.

Before Jiancheng, it was normal for the ratio of offensive and defensive casualties to be 3:1, but the Han army was a pervert with strong combat power under the increase of the system, although the vertical array of the Mandarin Duck Array was unusable, but the heads-up single was the best duel for Zhu Biao's army to exert its own combat power.

The Zhao army is five, six, seven, and may not be able to replace one of the defenders.

Unless Zhao Sheng is willing to spend all his military strength on Jiangjin City, otherwise, Jiangjin City will be impregnable.

For three days, 20,000 lives fell under the city. The thunderbolts smashed the battlements and the disc towers of the city, and the fire bombs burned the city wall to black, but Jiangjin City remained immovable and firmly controlled by the Han army.

Even the thunderbolt positions placed in the city were rarely damaged.

The thunderbolt cars that Zhao Jun had worked so hard to pull to the outside of the city, no matter whether they were large or small, had to first go through the test of the strongest bed crossbow in the city, the Eight Ox Crossbow. This weapon of war, with a maximum range of up to 600 paces, is equipped with a ten-zhang high city wall, and the range is completely despicable for thunderbolts.

The ten thunderbolts that were pulled to the city by Zhao Jun could survive until they were fired towards the city wall, and the number was no more than half. The Thunderbolt was notoriously unreliable, and in the three-day confrontation with the Eight Bull Crossbows, it was finally defeated.

Zhu Biao, who had perfect equipment to defend the city and benefited from the law of defending the city, did not give Zhao Jun the opportunity to 'set fire to the city' at all.

The battle of Jiangjin was carried out for five days, and the aftermath was two days, and after seven days, Anyang County, Jiangbei, where Gao Xie was stationed, was lost, and the remaining 7,000 soldiers crossed the river by boat and entered Jiangjin City. On the same night, after Yang Yanzhang received Zhu Biao's flying pigeon message, he also led his troops to withdraw from Yiqing overnight, rode in a carriage, and 'rushed' into Jiangjin City at a speed close to that of cavalry.

Zhao Sheng completely gave up the idea of breaking Jiang Jin the next day. Leaving 100,000 Zhao troops and 50,000 Jingsui regiments to surround Jiangjin City, build walls and lock the city, and lead the main force of Zhao army 300,000 east into Beiping.

He didn't mean to lure the snake out of the hole, but Zhu Biao didn't pay attention to it at all. There are still 100,000 soldiers in Beiping City, especially the tens of thousands of veteran forbidden troops inside, and their combat power is quite strong. At least in the short term, it is impossible to capture the city of Beiping.

In the long run, can't Zhu Biao be 'lethal with one blow'? The wind on the river has changed back. In the summer, although the Northern Han Dynasty is backresting, the days when the west wind blows are far less than the days when the east wind blows.

But if you want to kill with one blow, you must wait for enough things in the 'black nest'. Otherwise, it would be too worthless to burn only an empty camp and expose one's intentions.

Zhao Jun's material savings place is in Yufeng County, fifty miles away from Jiangjin City, and like Jiangjin City, Yufeng County is also close to Luo Mingjiang. However, it is not as close to the Luoming River as Jiangjin City, and there are still three or four miles of roads separated by it, which are connected by a small river through Guò.

The news was known to Zhu Biao a few days before Zhao Sheng's withdrawal. But until September, he still hasn't moved.

Because only this half a month's 'giving', Yufeng County at this time is the real 'black nest'.

Of course, the black nest is not a fire black nest. If you want to add the word 'fire' in front, the first thing Zhu Biao wants to solve is Zhao Jun's sailor.

As a famous water transport wharf in the Northern Han Dynasty, Zhu Biao gathered enough ships in the vicinity of Jiangjin to catch twenty or thirty thousand soldiers at a time. But it is far from just those ships that are fighting against the Zhao army sailors on the river, in the north water gate of Jiangjin City, it is densely packed, and there are boats everywhere.

Mainly the disciples of the Qingjiang Gang, Zhu Biao also recruited sailors from the small five thousand near Jiangjin. These people are not regular Han soldiers, but Zhu Biao will not use them to die in vain. He lost three or five hundred people in the previous war, and he was a little distressed.

This time, the 'black nest' is full, and he is ready to go, and the surface power is the top priority, and he must be fully prepared to start a war again.

And this preparation is - the fire cabinet!

What is a fire cabinet?

That's the 'flamethrower'. The cabinet is filled with oil, and during the battle, the oil is pumped out like a fire-fighting hose, and the fire is ignited at the mouth, and as soon as the oil is exported, it immediately becomes a fire dragon. There is no boundary between the east and the west and the north corner, and only the regular sailors in the Central Plains, the south corner, and the east corner will be equipped with it.

On the third day of September, the east wind.

Zhu Biao stood on the high platform of the ship, and the guards stood behind him.

In the distance, a large number of ships of the Zhao Army's naval division were already in sight, and one after another enemy ships were connected together, spreading out two or three miles away, forming a mighty team, covering the river section in front of them, which was daunting.

But the ships on the Han side were more numerous and larger. Except for a group of elite sharp-beaked clippers and boats specially selected by the Qingjiang Gang, the remaining sailors are all large and medium-sized passenger ships that travel to and from the river.

There are many people, the boat is big, not with the water, but with a good wind. Zhu Biao is confident that he has an advantage! So when the Zhao army ships on the opposite side appeared, the flag waved, and the whining horn sounded throughout the army.

In another moment, twenty large ships of the enemy sailed out of the queue, with heavy sails and masts, and the figures on the deck were numerous, apparently in a state of readiness for battle. Obviously, these twenty big ships are the vanguard of the Zhao army.

The war drums of both sides sounded, continuously, and the battle broke out at the first touch!

On the Han side, one ship after another sailed out.

The war drums sounded, and Zhao Jun was also approaching quickly.

Fan Shixiu, who personally went out on the horse, ordered: "Lowering the sails on the riser!" ”

In the past half a month, the thick plates of the left and right arrows, which have been urgently reinforced to the hull, have been erected on both sides of the bulkheads, although the area is not large, but it will greatly enhance the protection against the arrow-stone rocket.

When the sail is lowered, the huge hull peeks out with holes and long oars sticking out, which makes it easier to control speed and angle than a sail in battle.

"Crossbowmen ready!"

"Rocket ready!"

The torches were lit, and there was one in front of each crossbowman, which was a rocket.

Not far away, the soldiers on the deck of the Zhao army's ship were making the same preparations. Half a month will not be let by in vain.

Twenty large passenger ships. Before the naval division did not have cannons, as soon as the ship was high, there was a mutation that could be shot condescendingly, which was just like shooting from the city to the city in a land battle, safe and effective.

Therefore, real sailors build giant ships, which has long become the mainstream of the times.

"Shoot!" Both sides were giving orders almost simultaneously. Suddenly, a loud roar resounded across the water, and a large number of fire arrows drew a piece of fire in the sky above the river and hit it.

Listening to the sound of "crackling" endlessly, most of the arrows on the side of the Han army were intercepted by the thick plate of the arrow, and a few arrows fell on people, and they immediately screamed again and again, and more than a dozen people were hit by arrows.

At this time, the Han army rushed to the forefront of the Qingjiang Gang. Fan Shixiu frowned, as if the dozen or so people who fell were not his subordinates at all. Keep your eyes on the other side!

The two groups of ships intertwined with each other, and the word "put-" calmly came out of Fan Shixiu's mouth.

"Bang Bang!"

The sound of the fire cabinet clapping.

I saw more than a dozen fire dragons surging on the Luoming River in an instant. This is much more powerful than crossbowmen and archers, and when a large area is burned, whether it is a sack full of sand, or a person's clothes, or a flag, as long as it is 'swallowed', it will not burn.

I don't know how many elite sailors of the Zhao Army fell on the deck with a wail at this moment. But they weren't dead for a while, with flames all over their bodies, with sharp pain all over their bodies, screaming and rolling back and forth on the deck.

The generals of the Zhao Army Naval Division in the rear, their eyes were wide open, and their faces were full of disbelief!

"This is the fire cabinet?"

He didn't dare to imagine that something he had not seen on a regular warship actually appeared on a group of civilian ships.

But in fact, the damage suffered by Zhao's naval division is still continuing.

Deeply stimulated by the fire dragons, the Zhao army crossbowmen desperately shot the fiery arrows and crossbows into the Han warship.

More of the Zhao ships no longer kept the necessary distance from each other from the Han warships, but turned their rudders and crashed into each other.

The long oars sticking out of the huge hull are constantly adjusting the angle and speed.

Black smoke filled the air, and it was on fire.

The water battle was not fierce at all, and although Zhao Junshui had mustered up the courage to fight hard for a while, they finally succumbed to the threat of the fire dragon.

The shouts of killing, screams, and surrender filled the river two or three quarters of an hour later. And in less than an hour, the whole river stopped.

Black smoke billowed from the water, and dozens of burning ships, large and small, were all red. also 'hot' Han Jun's face was as warm as their hearts at the moment.

"Embark the ship, hurry, hurry......"

Just when the victory over the water was decided, in Jiangjin City and the Water Gate of Beicheng, a large number of armored infantry stepped on board the docked ships one after another. At the same time, the 30,000 cavalry in the city were also ready to leave the city.

The infantry rushed to Yufeng County by water, and the cavalry followed behind the Zhao army, so that they could not get up fast. In the end, even ...... (To be continued)
