Chapter 77 Battle Public Security
It is said that Zhao Kuangming rushed back to Jiangling and hurriedly arranged reinforcements to support the public security first.
Speaking of public security, it is very important for Gangneung.
Public security, formerly known as the Seven Provinces Confucius, was the first to be called "Plum Garden". As early as the fifth year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, he built a county of Ling (chΓ‘n).
The county relies on the danger of the Jingjiang moat, and it is also the north-south post road.
It connects Han and Shanghai in the east, Bashu in the west, Hunan and Guangdong in the south, and Shaanxi and Henan in the north.
In that year, Liu Bei led Jingzhou Mu and camped at the mouth of the Youjiang River, taking the meaning of "Zuo Public Security Camp and Camping", changing Xiaoling to public security in an attempt to dominate the industry.
As long as the public security is defeated, you can directly take Jiangling, and then take the whole of Jingzhou.
In public security, Zhao Kuangming had 5,000 sailors.
Linjiang set up a water village, there are as many as 100 large and small warships.
Their sentinel boat had already left the cave and had been closely monitoring the movement on the water.
Who knows, those cave barbarians don't know what medicine they have taken wrong, and they have entered the water.
The sentinel ship reported ten times a day, and reported Lei Yangong's actions to Zhao Chenggui, the commander of the Jingnan Naval Army.
Zhao Chenggui is Zhao Kuangming's son, and such an important place as public security must be guarded by his own people.
Zhao Chenggui is similar to his father, with a delicate appearance, familiar with water, and good at water warfare.
When he got the news, he informed his father that he was preparing for war, and the Shuizhai army was neat and tidy, and Xiao was killed.
Speaking of this eldest brother, Li Yu also has a headache.
When the marriage was first made, this uncle did not agree, and he still does not go to Nanyang, and he has a lot of opinions about King De.
Li Yu didn't know at first, but when he heard some news, he realized that he had an eldest brother, and he had always been reluctant to deal with him, and he didn't know where to offend him.
When Zhao Kuangming arrived in Jiangling, he urgently sent 5,000 naval troops to support the public security.
Day after five years, August 26th.
Lei Yangong's army rushed into the Jingjiang River, followed closely by Qin Yanhui and Huang Fan's naval army.
Hundreds of warships, large and small, spread across the river.
For a time, the fishermen on the Yangtze River were so frightened that they turned their boats and fled in all directions.
"Report, young marshal, the cave is here."
"Oh? Shangzhai. β
The public security water village was set up on the river and occupied a part of the Jingjiang waterway.
Zhao Chenggui took his pro-soldiers to climb the Shuizhai sentry tower, and saw that more than ten miles away, there was a black press.
The warship is like a leaf floating in the water, and the sails are like a forest.
"Where are Jing Xiang's reinforcements?"
"Young marshal, the reinforcements took the Han River into the Yangtze River, and now that they have crossed Jiangxia, it will take a few days to get to us."
"I don't know if I can break through Yuezhou."
Zhao Chenggui muttered to himself.
He knew that when Jingxiang's sailors came to the rescue, they had to go through the Han River, enter the Yangtze River, and then go retrograde to the public security.
But in the middle, it is necessary to break through the water village in Yuezhou.
It looks like I'm going to be alone for a few days.
He now has an army of 10,000 sailors and 200 warships, although he has no bottom in his heart, he still has to do his best.
"Take out all the oil and put it on board."
"Yes."
Zhao Chenggui prepared to attack with fire.
The width of the river is 50 zhang downstream, which is relatively narrow. If it is attacked with fire, it can also spread the surface of the river.
But there is a problem, that is, the water flow is very fast, and the fierce fire oil cannot stay on the surface of the water, but will only go downstream.
But at this time, our young marshal can't care so much.
On the river outside the water village, dozens of warships were lined up.
"Let's get started."
The herald waved the flag against the river, and the flag bearers on the warship also waved the flag in response.
The navy was ordered to pour fire oil on the river.
The oil floats lightly on the surface of the water and flows downstream, and dozens of strands of fire oil are connected in the downstream under the action of the current.
The archer ignited the rocket and shot it into the river.
Rumble~~~~~~
With a burst of fire, a raging fire broke out on the surface of the water, rushing downstream.
"Set fire to the boat!"
Each warship was flanked by a small boat, which had not only fierce fire oil and dry firewood, but also part of the gunpowder, which was the fireship, which was specially used for fire attacks.
As soon as the fireboat was out of the water, sailors threw a torch into the boat.
With a bang, the fireboat ignited a sky-high fire and went down the river.
said that Lei Yangong on the river downstream stood on the boat and observed the water village upstream.
Swimming against the current, the speed was slow, and the front and rear armies were spread out on the river.
He looked at the formation in front and behind, and was inexplicably excited in his heart, haha, Gangneung City, I'm here.
"Report, big marshal, fire attack has been found ahead."
"What?"
In broad daylight, the flames on the water surface are not clearly visible, only a faint green smoke.
"Summons, circumvent to both sides."
The heralds desperately waved flags at the other ships.
Soon, Lei Yangong's warship slowly approached both sides of the Jing River.
Huang Fan, who was behind, also got the news and urgently ordered the ships to avoid it.
The fierce fire oil that roared down from the upstream was carried by the river and rushed downstream. Some slow-moving warships were affected, and for a while, the call of sailors to fight fires was heard far away with the river breeze.
Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, dozens of fireships roared towards them again, and the flames rose into the air.
"Dodge, dodge!"
Bang~~~~
Crackling ~~~
There was a warship that could not be evaded, and it was hit by a fireship, and the fork of the fireship was nailed into the gang of the warship, and the flames licked the tongue of fire, and soon ignited the warship.
A water ghost jumped into the water, desperately pulling the bottom of the fireboat, and slashing the iron fork of the fireship with an axe, hoping to pull the fire away.
The water spirits were burned by the flames and had to hide in the water.
"Watering fires."
There were bamboo water cannons on the ships, and the sailors used them to extinguish the fire.
At this time, the flotilla on the outside suffered the most.
The flotilla on the inside was lucky.
Just as they were calling for firefighting, hundreds of Jingnan warships roared down, rushed into the fire, and shot arrows at the sailors who were fighting the fire.
Woo Woo Woo ~~~
Puff puff~~
Yes~
Belch~
Thump~~
The middle arrow hole fell off the bow of the boat and was swept away by the river.
Zhao Chenggui stood at the bow of the boat, bending his bow and arrows and shooting at the sailors running opposite.
He brought a hundred warships to rush to kill, and another hundred ships in Shuizhai were on standby, and the driver joined the battle group.
The rain of arrows does not need to be covered like money.
The cave barbarians also gave up fighting the fire and picked up bows and arrows to fight back.
The distance is gradual, and the Jingnan Army's slap is out, and one shot can have a thousand catties.
Several Dongman warships were photographed sinking and floating, and with a bang, the warship was broken in two.
The cave man fell into the water with a thunderbolt.
Fortunately, they were good at the water, and they quickly surfaced and swam towards other warships.
A person in the water, no matter how good the water is, cannot withstand the warship.
As soon as the Jingnan warship walked by, the spears in the hands of the sailors brought out blood, and the river was instantly stained red with blood.
Lei Yangong's brute soldiers are not vegetarians.
After a moment of panic, resistance was gradually organized.
He mobilized the fighting ships to meet the battle.
The Langzhou Tutuan is also a thousand-year-old fox in terms of water warfare, and there are some ways to do it!
It was also a slap in all directions, slapping the warships of the Jingnan Navy up and down, and even worse, sawdust flew sideways, and the sailors suffered heavy casualties.
Where can the small ship withstand the beating of the slap rod, and the ship will be killed in a few blows.
The river is full of soldiers who have fallen into the water, including barbarian soldiers and Jingnan naval troops.
At this time, the two sides had reached the point of engaging in a broadside battle.
The Jingnan warships and the barbarian ships hooked up with each other, and the barbarians and the Jingnan naval army fought on the deck.
The stumps flew sideways, the blood flowed, and the howls and wails were mixed together, and the numbers could not be heard.
At this time, Zhao Chenggui's flagship broke through layers of barriers and leaned on the flagship with the words "Lizhou Thorn History".
He shouted, jumped onto the opposite deck with a rattan card in one hand and a horizontal knife in the other. The pro-soldiers around him all jumped over with red eyes and screams.
Zhao Shaoshuai has not led the army in vain all these years, and he blocked a few hidden arrows with a rattan card, and the horizontal knife flew over, and the three barbarians in front of him were missing arms and legs.
In this day and age, being injured is equivalent to a death sentence, and you don't need to kill the other person directly.
He does not directly ask for the other party's life, but mears the enemy, and such remnants will become a drag on the enemy.
This flagship is the ship of Li Zhou Thorn Shi Xiang Xu.
The ships are all his personal troops, and they are very combative.
Seeing the enemy's flagship approaching, Xiang Bi also drew his horizontal knife, preparing to step forward and fight to the death.
But the soldiers around him can't let him die, otherwise he won't be able to live.
The guards led his own soldiers to resist, and he forcibly took Xiang Bi off the ship and changed the flagship to the top.
"Cut down the handsome flag, cut down the mast!"
Under an order, the momentum of the Jingnan Navy was like a rainbow.
After all, the enemy commander got off the ship in a panic, and the enemy ran away, and he didn't dare to rush to kill?
The Jingnan Navy is getting braver and braver, the barbarians are weak in the end, the boss has run away, and he is still fighting here, is it stupid?
The more the brutes fought, the fewer they fought.
A strong man with a giant axe frantically chops flags and masts.
For a while, sawdust flew sideways.
Thundered~~~
Xiang Bi's handsome flag was cut down and smashed into the water.
The barbarian soldiers on the barbarian ships around them panicked when they saw that the handsome flag had fallen, they didn't know that Xiang Bi had already disembarked.
I don't know who shouted, "Xiang Shuai is dead!" β
The brutes were shocked!
Lei Yangong in the distance was also shocked in his heart, he was beheaded as soon as the battle began, it was too unlucky, and his desire for Jiangling City instantly weakened a little.
Thundered~~~
Xiang Bao's flagship mast was cut off and smashed into the river, stirring up waves of water for tens of meters.
If you lose your sails, you lose power.
At this time, the two ships were connected, and the barbarian ship was originally retrograde, but now it has no power, and under the impetus of the current and the drive of Zhao Chenggui's flagship, they went down the river together and collided with the barbarian ship downstream.
The Jingnan Navy carried dozens of such large and small barbarian ships down the river.
The other brute ships downstream hurriedly dodged.
Can dodge in a short period of time, it is bound to panic, and for a while, the battleships collide with each other and fall to the west. Seeing the warships of the Jingnan Navy getting closer and closer, the barbarian soldiers were about to collapse in their hearts.
Thundered~~
Gaba Gaba ~~~
The ship let out a gut-wrenching groan.
For a time, the battleship was plugged into the river.
After a short stalemate, some barbarian ships broke into the water, and some Jingnan warships also seeped into the water, causing a dangerous situation.
The wind and water in the upstream are all dominant, forcibly pushing the brute ship to move slowly downstream, and as time goes by, the speed becomes faster and faster, and it has reached the point where it is out of control.
