The Sorrow of Dinosaurs! The Legend of the Thunderer! Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Iron Lock Across the River
The previous giant building ship was actually one of Sun Quan's ships, so the wood used to build the ship was specially made, and Zuo Ci and others were specially invited to protect it with Taoism, so the material was very hard and difficult to destroy, and it could also effectively use the bulkhead to block Fang Lin's spiritual power detection. [No pop-up novel network]
At this time, Fang Lin had already boarded this fighting ship, although this ship was also quite strong, otherwise it would not have been used to transport Adou, but after all, it was selected in a hurry, Fang Lin's spiritual power detection was no longer affected by the restriction of the ship's board, and the bulkhead on the ship could also be easily destroyed!
Fang Lin's face was still motionless, but purple flames appeared on his feet, and the thick plank was ignited and burned in an instant, Lao Hu punched the plank, and the thick deck suddenly cracked, and the flames immediately rushed down the gap happily. The butcher sat down directly on it, and with a loud bang, flames and sawdust flew up, and a huge hole collapsed.
The small leader of the leather armor archer next to him was sassy and arrowy, and he had already shot and killed several boatmen in the lower cabin, Lao Hu took the lead in jumping straight down, rushing left and right along the way, and it didn't take long for him to rush into a utility room in the bilge under the guidance of Fang Lin.
However, it is impossible for such ships used in battle to travel back and forth like merchant ships, and the goods are not empty, so when the ship is empty, it is necessary to place heavy things in the bilge, which is called ballast. And this warship was selected to carry Liu Adou, and of course it was also famous in the Soochow naval army. Therefore, its ballast is also very special, looking at the dark and dull mass from a distance is very inconspicuous, walk in and see if ten thousand snakes are lying cross-legged, Lao Hu was surprised to reach out to take it, and found that the surface has been rusted like a baby's arm of the iron chain is stacked together! Piled up in the small half of the sub-compartment!
This thick iron chain was a shame for the Jingzhou army.
When Dongwu and Jingzhou competed for supremacy on the Yangtze River, although Dongwu seemed to have a weak military, Liu Biao reused Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, two great geniuses, and naturally suffered repeated defeats. The warships of Soochow could easily go up the river and plunder everywhere, which made Liu Biao anxious, and in desperation, Liu Biao had to secretly spend his time asking Mr. Shuijing. But Mr. Shui Jing is also reluctant to come up with any tricks that kill too much. But he wanted to take refuge under Liu Biao's men and couldn't refuse, so he came up with a defensive method, which was called the Iron Lock Hengjiang Array.
Liu Biao was overjoyed when he heard this, so he ordered the blacksmiths of Jingzhou to build it overnight, and almost exhausted the fine iron in Xiangyang, so that he could build more than ten thick iron chains, and directly block the river.
The iron lock Hengjiang Great Array offered by Mr. Shuijing was really extraordinary, and it immediately completely blocked the ships that Dongwu wanted to sneak up and raid and plunder. And every morning the time of opening the formation is selected at the time of the highest visibility, if Dongwu wants to come from afar to sneak attack, it can be detected by the spies lying in ambush downstream in the morning, and release wolf smoke to warn. For a time, Soochow was also helpless.
However, no matter how strong the defense is, it is broken from the inside -- after the two "famous generals" Cai Mao and Zhang Yun entrenched themselves in the Yangtze River, what they are thinking about is not how to make the defense more stable, but how to consider using the monopoly of the Yangtze River waterway to obtain more property. Merchants are heavy on profits, often robbing time, the iron lock Hengjiang array is only open twice a day, it will definitely not meet the needs of merchants, so they pay heavy bribes to seek convenience.
As long as the price is sufficient, of course, it is a convenient door, Dongwu saw this flaw, and took advantage of the late night to send a heavy gift, Cai Mao Zhang Yun did not doubt him, revealing his greedy nature than obscene payment, and immediately ordered the lock to be opened, and as a result, the Wu army ambushed on the merchant ship took the opportunity to rush up and start a death battle with the Jingzhou army!
This fierce battle lasted for two days, Dongwu Jingzhou was exhausted, although Cai Mao Zhang Yun was mediocre, but there were also Wen Ping, Huang Zu and other brave generals, killing the sky and the earth, the river was red, and finally it was Dongwu who used the brazier to burn the iron chain with a blazing fire for several hours, and Zhou Tai, who had a strong arm, cut off the huge iron chain that plagued Dongwu directly with an axe, and finally broke the iron lock across the river!
After that, it was even more difficult for Jingzhou to build this large array, and the output of steel was extremely low, so Dongwu sent spies to pay close attention to the consumption of pig iron around Xiangyang City. Once the Jingzhou army started construction, it was destroyed, and finally it could no longer be established.
And the iron chain of the once prominent iron lock Hengjiang Great Array was captured by the people of Eastern Wu as a trophy, and most of it was re-smelted into weapons, but the main chain was rewarded to him as the glory of the Zhou Tai Naval Army and preserved as ballast!
Fang Lin sneered and pressed his palm on the thick iron chain, the purple flame in his palm soared, the iron chain went from black to red, and then from red to white, Lao Hu grabbed both ends of the iron chain and shouted, and then ripped the iron chain alive! Although the surrounding Wu army and Shu army were in the melee, they were all shocked when they saw it! Looking at Lao Hu, his eyes were full of awe.
That Zhou Tai had to use a big axe to cut off the chain, but Hu Huahao tore it off with his bare hands, and the two looked as if the latter had the advantage, but in fact, Lao Hu took advantage of Fang Lin's purple flame. When Zhou Tai was using the fire of the brazier to burn the iron chain, the temperature under the river breeze would definitely not be able to catch up with the purple flame of melting gold and eroding iron in the palm of Lin Shang's palm, so when Lao Hu tore off the iron chain, it didn't take much effort.
Lin Yin's sleeve slashed on the bulkhead next to him with an axe, and in the flying sawdust, a window-sized hole has appeared on the thick ship, and you can clearly see the warship next to it, the butcher has picked up the broken iron chain, and threw it straight out, winding around the root of the main mast of the adjacent warship and flying back, its ingenious use of strength is really breathtaking, this fat boy is an expert in transporting iron chains, even the people who are running in the vertical can directly pull in, even if this iron chain is not good at this time, But don't want him to seduce people, Fang Lin's request couldn't be simpler.
Lao Hu took the broken end of the thick iron chain that flew back in one hand, took the end from the butcher's hand, and the two of them used their strength to tie the two warships tightly together, and then tied a dead knot on the mainmast of the ship with the iron chain! Fang Lin then used the flame to dissolve the iron chains and stick them together, and splashed river water on them to cool down instantly! You can just let it go!
All this seems very complicated to do, but it is only a matter of tens of seconds to really implement, when Fang Lin tied up several Mengchong fighting ships next to him in the same way, it was equivalent to forming the ship formation of Cao Jun during the Battle of Chibi! The shaking arc of the ship was suddenly greatly reduced, and the Shu army immediately thundered with joy and morale, and took advantage of the situation to counterattack for a while.
At this time, both the Wu army and the Shu army realized that the key to this battle was in this bilge! For Wu Jun, as long as the mainmast of the ship is cut off, so that the iron chain has no place to be pulled by force, it can break the momentum of this chain of warships! For the Shu army, the top priority is naturally to protect the few strange people in the cabin, so that they can form a larger ship formation to make their feet more stable!
Of course, Zhao Yun also understood this, and after the spear stabbed and injured Gan Ning, who wanted to lure him away, he jumped out of the cabin and thanked Fang Lin and the others. Fang Lin directly raised Huang Zhong's guise at this time, saying that when he was in Shanyang County before, he fought with Huang Gong and killed Li Dian.
At this time, Liu Bei was only the status of the emperor's uncle, and he had not yet been called the emperor, but Fang Lin was unscrupulous, with a mouthful of "dragon energy" and "prince", Zhao Yun frowned on the surface when he heard it, but he was happy in his heart. The Shu army next to him was convinced, thunderous with joy, and their morale was greatly boosted. In fact, Fang Lin is not nonsense, Liu Adou has indeed ascended the throne and become the emperor, but there is still a little distance from the true dragon emperor, but he has never been a real dragon, and he can be regarded as a dinosaur of Babi's same race.
With Zhao Yun guarding here, plus the ship formation has been completed, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai took turns to attack, after all, they couldn't help Changshan Zhao Zilong, Fang Lin saw that the battle situation had fallen into a stalemate again, so he took advantage of the opportunity of the Wu army to retreat and reorganize the offensive, and said to Zhao Yun that he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the offensive of Eastern Wu was focused on here, and went to rescue Liu Adou, which clearly wanted Zhao Yun to stay here as a bait to attract firepower.
And Zhao Yun also took it seriously, and immediately readily agreed, but Fang Lin had already prepared, and took the opportunity to inquire about the strength of Sun Ji and Sun Shangxiang, who was supporting Liu Adou, and also told Zhao Yun about the strength of himself and others. Fang Lin had already roughly calculated at this time, knowing that there were only three people in his group, and after obtaining the Book of Human Escape, he had increased the difficulty of the world to 10 people in disguise, so it was very likely that the Nightmare Space would also give them some compensatory help in disguise in order to maintain the balance of difficulty.
Sure enough, after some conversation, Zhao Yun immediately frowned and said solemnly:
"With your current strength, if you want to take the young master back from Mrs. Sun Jisun, I'm afraid you can't catch it."
Fang Lin was waiting for this sentence, and immediately hit the snake with the stick, but said lightly in his mouth:
"The prince of the country is related to the luck and suffering of the people in the world! Since I waited for a few people to come, I only asked for help, and I didn't think about going back alive. ”
