Chapter 845: Attacking Hufeng County
Moaning slightly, Zhou Yu instructed the lieutenant general: "Order the whole army to reduce the speed of the march, and at the same time give the Jinyi Guards an order, so that they can get the situation of the Rainbow Leopard Kingdom's sailors at all costs!"
Now that something is wrong, Zhou Yu does not plan to attack directly for the sake of safety.
After all, this battle is very important, and once it can't go south perfectly, it will have a fatal impact on the battle situation on the side of Changze City.
It will destroy the kingdom's plans, and you must be careful.
In addition, this is the first time he has led troops into battle, and if there is any accident, the impact on him is self-evident.
The adjutant immediately went down to give the order.
More than two hours later, Jinyiwei's information came.
It's just that when Zhou Yu saw the information, the whole person was a little stunned.
Because the intelligence actually said that the 300,000 sailors of the Rainbow Leopard Kingdom had not made any preparations at all, and were basically in the camp, as if they didn't know that their army was coming.
How could Zhou Yu dare to believe it?
Now that the Southern Yan Kingdom and the Rainbow Leopard Kingdom are at war, the spies on both sides have gone deep and tried every means to obtain news of the enemy country.
There's no reason why the people of the Rainbow Leopard Kingdom don't know that their sailors have moved their troops.
But now this situation makes Zhou Yu a little speechless.
If this news hadn't come from Jinyiwei, Zhou Yu wouldn't have believed it at all.
But now, Zhou Yu immediately ordered to go down, and the army should speed up, and be sure to take down the Rainbow Leopard Kingdom's sailor camp in one fell swoop.
Soon, the speed of the naval division's warships increased and went to Hufeng County.
More than an hour later, Hufeng County appeared in front of the sailors led by Zhou Yu.
"The whole army obeys the order, attack!"
Zhou Yu held the sword in his hand and gave a loud order.
"Boom, boom!"
A loud noise rang out on the warships at the forefront.
It was sent out on the deck of the warship, by a water catapult transformed by Lu Ban.
Stones the size of grinding discs were launched, and with a sound of breaking through the air, they smashed directly into the warships on the harbor of Hufeng County.
Suddenly, these warships suffered heavy losses, and many of them were smashed and sunk under the harbor.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, enemy attack!"
After Zhou Yu launched an attack, the sailors of the Rainbow Leopard Kingdom in Hufeng County discovered the enemy army, and the soldiers shouted loudly.
Some soldiers were at a loss and scurrying around.
The huge sailor port, the soldiers in charge of defense did not think of defending it at the first time.
Only a few heralds immediately went to the mansion of the county lord of Hufeng County and informed the county lord.
Because of the uniqueness of the water division, the general of the water division of the rainbow leopard kingdom is the county lord of Hufeng County.
Zhou Yu stood on the tallest ship, looking at the appearance of the soldiers of the Rainbow Leopard Kingdom on the port, with a look of disappointment on his face.
He got the news and knew that the Rainbow Leopard Kingdom Water Master was terrible, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.
In the face of the attack of the enemy's naval division, the first time was not to defend under the leadership of the general and prevent the enemy soldiers from landing, but to flee in a panic.
This made Zhou Yu, who had the idea of training in this battle, very disappointed.
Shaking his head slightly, Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "Pass the order, speed up the landing, and be sure to land before the soldiers of the Hufeng County battalion arrive." ”
Although disappointed in his heart, Zhou Yu would not let go of such a good opportunity.
"Yes!"
The adjutant immediately went down to give the order.
Under Zhou Yu's order, the sailors of the Southern Yan Kingdom did not pause and moved forward quickly under the cover of catapults.
The journey was unexpectedly smooth, and they were basically unhindered.
Soon it was already on the shore.
"The battleship covered, the troop transports came forward, the crossbowmen, the bed crossbowmen followed, landing as fast as they could. ”
"Hurry, hurry, hurry. ”
Under Zhou Yu's order, the generals of the naval divisions at all levels of the Southern Yan Kingdom led their soldiers and landed quickly according to the order.
"How can it be so fast?"
Ke Yichang, the county lord of Hufeng County, finally got the news and rushed over.
When he saw that the sailors of the Southern Yan Kingdom had already landed, his face was full of panic.
In addition to arranging soldiers in the naval camp, he also had more than 5,000 soldiers defending this port, so how could he let the enemy start to land?
However, as the general of the Rainbow Leopard Kingdom, he reacted quite quickly, and realized the danger after panicking.
Once the sailors of the Southern Yan Kingdom were allowed to come ashore, then Hufeng County would basically fall by half.
Hurriedly waving his hand, Ke Yichang said loudly: "Order the sailor battalion and let them support as quickly as possible." ”
After speaking, he paused slightly, gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "The guards of the County Lord's Mansion will immediately go up, be sure to delay the enemy army, and buy time for the support of the naval division's battalion." ”
"Quick!"
Under Ke Yichang's order, the five thousand guards of the county lord's mansion quickly went up.
These 5,000 guards are Ke Yichang's real personal soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, and it can be said that they are the most powerful army in his hands.
With them on top, they blocked the few soldiers who landed in the Southern Yan Kingdom, making the follow-up army landing much slower.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu, who commanded Lou Chuan, frowned, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Order the crossbowmen, cover the enemy indiscriminately, and be sure to eliminate all enemies." ”
"This ......"
"General, once the crossbowmen are indiscriminately covered, it may cause your own soldiers to be accidentally injured, we ......"
Before the adjutant general finished speaking, Zhou Yu directly interrupted and said: "We must occupy both sides of the port before the support of the Rainbow Leopard Kingdom's sailor battalion arrives, so that the warships can enter the port smoothly, and threaten the Hufeng County Sailor Battalion with the catapults of the warships, so that they cannot support." ”
"Once they are brought to the shore, the kingdom's army will have to pay at least ten times more casualties if they want to land again, and we can't wait. ”
"Order, the crossbowman immediately releases the arrow!"
For the handsome, the overall situation should be the priority!
Zhou Yu knows that if there is no sacrifice now, the wait will lead to more sacrifices.
Besides, his crossbowmen were all trained, and even if they were accidentally wounded, they would be very small.
The adjutant general said no more and immediately gave the order.
The crossbowmen, standing on the warship, were ordered to immediately release their arrows.
"Woohoo!"
Ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, making the sky dark in an instant.
When Ke Yichang on the shore saw it, his face suddenly changed, and he scolded: "The damn general of the Nanyan Kingdom is so ruthless, the two armies are fighting with thousands of arrows, isn't he afraid of hurting his own soldiers?"
But soon, his face turned pale.
A rain of arrows poured down, instantly taking the lives of a large number of soldiers.
But these soldiers were all his escorts, and basically no soldiers from the Southern Yan Kingdom were injured by mistake.
"South...... Are the crossbowmen of the Southern Yan Kingdom so accurate?"
Ke Yichang muttered.
The bow and crossbow have always been the main means of attack in warfare, and they are even more important for the naval war.
As a general of the Rainbow Leopard Kingdom, Ke Yichang knew very well how difficult it was to train a group of accurate crossbowmen.
There were less than a thousand people in his entire sailor camp.
But now, these crossbowmen with 10,000 arrows have actually controlled the accidental damage to a minimum, and these crossbowmen can imagine how strong they are.
"Will ...... General, what should we do now?" asked the adjutant general beside Ke Yichang in a trembling voice.
