Chapter 405: Outside Jingling City
"Someone's coming!" Lu Yuan suddenly reminded coldly. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Everyone was taken aback, calmed down, and only heard the sound of hooves coming from the shore hesitantly, only to see eight Jianghuai army cavalry silently chasing along the coast.
Everyone's relaxed hearts immediately tensed, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.
Xu Ziling hurriedly took the helm and set up the cargo ship to desert, until after a sharp bend, the enemy cavalry was blocked by a dense forest and left behind.
"A false alarm!" Everyone touched a cold sweat, if they let those cavalry fall, there would be a steady stream of Jianghuai troops behind.
After a while, the cargo ship sailed into a straight river, and the city of Lingcheng was hesitant to appear ahead.
The more than 30 warships anchored on the river outside the city could already be seen clearly, half the size of the cargo ship they were now on, and everyone was taken aback, only to see the flags fluttering on the ships, the spears dazzling, and the momentum was overwhelming.
Look at the shore again, it is not optimistic, only to see the camp lineup is prosperous, everywhere, the southeast of Jingling, it can be said that it is surrounded by water, which is daunting.
"What should I do?" Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but said anxiously: "Do you want to stop the ship here?" ”
Xu Ziling manipulated the boat, shook his head and said: "No, if we stop here and the Jianghuai army in front of us comes up, we will only fall into a bitter battle, and the plan in front of us is only to risk through the enemy's ship formation and reach the dock outside the city, so that we can have a glimmer of life." ”
Kou Zhong glanced at the situation on the enemy ship and nodded, "This is called a surprise, it seems to be dangerous, but in fact it is the most feasible method. ”
Shang Xiuxun hesitated, but at this time, a gust of wind just blows, and the cargo ship is as fast as a galloping horse, involuntarily gliding across the water and rushing towards the enemy ship.
Under the duck on the shelf, Shang Xiuxun could only shout helplessly: "Prepare the rocket!" ”
Kou Zhong nodded, but when he looked up, he saw that everyone on the enemy ship had bent their bows and arrows, and had already aimed at their ship.
Kou Zhong's heart couldn't help but jump wildly, and when he looked back at everyone, he shouted, "Don't hesitate, set fire to the boat!" ”
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, but saw Kou Zhong fly down the stands and kick over the jar containing the oil oil. Hurriedly came back to their senses, lifted the canister of fire and oil, and threw it to the boat to the place where it was thrown.
All of a sudden, the oil tanks burst one after another, a little spark flew down, and the ship "boomed", and the flames rose violently.
Lu Yuan frowned, now a curtain of fire had risen from the entire bow of the ship, and a large puff of smoke was spitting out, which was really choking, but fortunately, with the wind, it went to cover the enemy.
Liang Zhi and the others were not idle, and they went to the cabin to hurriedly move the sundries out and throw them to the bow of the ship to increase the fire, reduce the load of the hull, and speed up the charge.
Lu Yuan followed Shang Xiuxun to the stands, only to see the Jianghuai army in the distance meeting the enemy in an orderly manner, and after a burst of war drums, the sky was covered with arrows, like dark clouds, and it was sprinkled in an instant.
"Cloth shield array!" Kou Zhong was taken aback, and hurriedly raised his arms and yelled.
However, before it was over, I saw a few whistling sounds coming one after another, and one by one huge stones, without money, were thrown over.
Lu Yuan frowned, and his mind spread around him, and he rushed out at the same time.
I saw that the boulder was thrown as if it was not aiming, and every time it was missed.
Some of them, ejected by something, smashed back mercilessly, crushing the trebuchets fired by the enemy, as well as the ships, and the soldiers who threw the bombs.
"Sure enough, telekinesis is convenient, especially to deal with this kind of thing that has no internal force attached, it is completely crushed!" Lu Yuan thought with a slight smile. At this time, the fire on the ship was not only in the bow of the ship, but had spread to the hull of the ship.
With a click, the mast toppled forward in the flames, pressing down on the sky-high fire at the bow of the ship.
Suddenly, the flames were much smaller, but after a while, the flames burst out.
The sail is also burning, the smoke is billowing, and it has gradually begun to obscure people's vision, if it weren't for a strong wind, I'm afraid Lu Yuan would have choked to death before he could flee for his life!
However, before Lu Yuan could think of the consequences, the ship was indifferent for a while, and he didn't know if it was to hit the opponent's warship, the cargo ship suddenly paused, and then began to maneuver until the stern hit the enemy ship, and this time it returned to its normal state.
Of course, this normal state is also relative in itself, and for the warship in the distance, it is not normal.
However, although it is a breath of relief, it is impossible to relax.
I only heard a sound of breaking the air, and another rain of swords came, but fortunately, now the river is full of smoke, the fire is in the air, the boat overturns, the scenery is difficult to distinguish, most of the arrows are shot at the stern, Lu Yuan's hand moves, it seems to slip on both sides.
Shang Xiuxun was taken aback and said, "Are you okay?" It's against catapults again, it's rain of arrows, don't you really care? ”
Seeing Shang Xiuxun looking at him with concern, Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Xiuxun, you shouldn't be angry now, right?!" ”
"When is it all and you're still talking about this?" Shang Xiuxun's face couldn't help but be annoyed, but seeing her smile so brightly, she was obviously very happy, but she didn't say anything.
"It's okay, it's just a trivial matter, and you can't help me at all!" Lu Yuan shook his head and smiled, sure enough, women are all emotional, often duplicitous, obviously very happy!
"Okay, you're still gasping!" Shang Xiuxun sneered, and the boat suddenly tilted and fell into Lu Yuan's arms.
However, Lu Yuan had no intention of taking it, and when he looked down, he saw that the front half of the cargo ship had been completely trapped in flames at this moment.
At that turn, it was Xu Ziling changing lanes, putting the boat under control, suddenly turning around and going downstream.
Lu Yuan looked back and saw that the enemy's ship had been splashed everywhere, and Pegasus Ranch often removed the burning things and threw them at the enemy, resulting in the fire was no longer limited to the cargo ship, plus there was a gust of wind to help the fire, and the fire spread all of a sudden, and the Jianghuai army jumped into the water to save themselves.
"Abandon ship and escape!" Kou Zhong roared suddenly, at this time, the cargo ship had already rushed out of the enemy's siege and came to a wide river on the outskirts of Jingling City, but the cargo ship had reached its limit, even if there were few of them, there was no place to avoid the fire.
Hearing Kou Zhong's call, everyone jumped to the riverbank, and the unpiloted boat also crashed into the riverbank with an impartial laugh and fell apart.
Lu Yuan sighed, maybe the old man who sold the boat wouldn't know that his ship would be torn apart in a blink of an eye and turned into a pile of coke.
"Let's go!" Shang Xiuxun looked at Jingling City and suddenly shouted.
Lu Yuan nodded, and followed Kou Zhong towards the gate of Jingling City.
As if noticing their whereabouts, there was a burst of war drums from the city gate, and a boiling sound came from the two battalions outside the city near the river, and a group of people rode out on horseback. (To be continued.) )
