Li Yuan's eyes saw several small boats that were burning freely stuck at the mouth of the river, because the boats were small, they burned all the way after the fire, and when they arrived at the estuary, most of them were already wreckage, and the fire was not big, but Li Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, pointed to the seven big boats that were approaching with great strength and commanded loudly.

"Attack the big ships with rockets and burn them!"

Li Yuan personally manipulated a bed crossbow and braved the rain of arrows to shoot grease crossbow arrows at a large Jin army ship on the river, and several bed crossbows immediately began to shoot at the big boat. All the Wu Yue archers also turned their arrows and fired a round of rockets at the big ship, only to see the two big ships rise and burst into flames, which soon burned into raging fire.

The Jin archers on the ship began to jump into the water to escape, and under Li Yuan's expectant gaze, two large unmanned ships that burned into fireballs swept all the way along the current, and soon reached the mouth of the river, where they burned into a wall of fire on the obstacles between the city walls.

Li Yuan laughed and said, "Look how you guys come in, catch turtles in this urn."

Only then did everyone understand Li Yuan's intentions, it turned out that he wanted to use these two burning ships as a barrier to prevent the Jin army on the small boats that rushed to enter the city, which was a good way.

A wall of fire blocked the mouth of the river, and dozens of small boats behind were dumbfounded, of course they could not rush into the fire, nor could they stop on the surface of the river to be beaten, so they turned their bows and began to flee from the range of their bows and arrows.

After the two large ships caught fire, the remaining five large ships also realized the danger and hurriedly retreated out of range of the defenders. This wall of fire actually had to force the other party to stop the follow-up attack.

As soon as they retreated, the pressure on the head of the city suddenly decreased, and the defenders of Wuyue could immediately shoot calmly under the river.

Li Yuan laughed and said, "Damn, I want to thank you for teaching me a way to defend against a wall of fire. When someone came, he ordered the people in the city to carry firewood and use a small boat to add firewood to the fire, and not to teach the fire to be extinguished. This wall of fire needs to be kept burning to stop the enemy from attacking. The archers continued to shoot in the city, and the rest followed me to the banks of the river to kill the enemy, and I am afraid that the lower ones will not be able to resist it."

Li Yuan led more than 1,000 soldiers to rush down the city wall, through the wide square, and then went straight to the dock. Two groups of nearly 10,000 Jin troops swam into the city, and the second group all went ashore from the west bank and advanced to the wharf on the river embankment by taking advantage of the advantage of numbers.

Although the two thousand defenders led by Xing Zhidao and Fang Tongming began to occupy the geographical advantage, after all, the number of the other party was too large, and at this moment there were only a few hundred people left to resist desperately, and as more and more Jin troops came ashore in the river, they could no longer resist.

"Kill!" Li Yuan led more than 2,000 defenders to rush to kill, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Xing Zhidao was fighting hard and was overjoyed to see the arrival of reinforcements. In his gaze, a man rode a black horse and rushed down the slope above the dock, the long sword in his hand shining with dazzling light, and rushed straight into the crowd of Jin troops. With the flickering light of the sword, the rebels in front of and behind him fell like straw, and the corpses fell to the ground.

"Who's that? So fierce." Xing Zhidao was stunned.

"It's Captain Li, it's amazing!" Several Wu Yue soldiers shouted loudly.

Xing Zhidao looked at the spear in his hand, spat at the mouth, took off the armor on his body and threw it aside, and rushed into the enemy army without saying a word.

He prides himself on being a great martial artist, but today he is a little shy in the face of many enemy forces. So just now, he only maintained a formation to fight with the Jin army, and even put on his armor, but at this moment, when he saw Li Yuan rushing into the enemy group alone and one horse, he realized that no matter how high his martial arts skills were, he was compared to Li Yuan in terms of courage to charge and kill the enemy.

It is no wonder that Li Yuan is invincible, and his actions are called taking the lead, and such behavior can boost morale. Looking at the soldiers around him as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, you can see how encouraging his actions are.

Xing Zhidao no longer hesitated, and the sword also rushed into the enemy group, and the morale of the soldiers was high, shouting and killing down the slope to suppress and kill.

The thousands of Jin troops who thought they were about to attack the river embankment were suddenly caught off guard by the ferocious pounce of the reinforcements defending the city, and they were soon arrested

It was forced to the bottom of the wharf slope, and soon retreated down the embankment under the fierce onslaught of the defenders. But under the river embankment is the Jedi, where there is no way to retreat, and it is a disadvantage of the terrain. After that, they will inevitably be slaughtered.

Li Yuan himself was very skilled, riding his horse back and forth on the river embankment to kill, and he didn't know how many people he had killed if he chopped melons and vegetables with a long sword in his hand. After the last Jin army standing fell, Li Yuan was already covered in blood, his head and face were covered with flesh and blood, and his whole person looked like a bloodthirsty ghost. The big black horse also became the big red horse, and the horse was covered in blood.

When the cheers of the soldiers rang out, Li Yuan realized that the battle was over. The cold wind blew, and the feverish brain was in a lot of trouble. Looking around, the river beach pier is full of corpses, and the tragic situation is shocking.

In the rush just now, those wet Jin soldiers who climbed up from the river were like stakes and grass mustard in Li Yuan's eyes, cutting one after another, and there was no need to think about it at all.

Many Jin troops actually raised their hands in front of Li Yuan and surrendered, but Li Yuan killed like crazy and also swung his sword and cut down. This move also played an exemplary role, and later many Jin soldiers actually lost their weapons and shouted for mercy, but they were also indiscriminately beheaded by others.

At the time of the battle just now, down the river, the people of Suzhou on both sides of the river were almost crazy.

Many Jin troops drifted down the river, they did not dare to go ashore, so the people chased along the river bank with torches, sticks and forks, and those who came ashore were all stoned to death, and finally these people drowned in the river, and none of them could get a good death under the eyelids of the angry people all over the city.

Suzhou City is still a city that never sleeps, but in the past, Suzhou City was full of lights, wine, and songs. People stay up all night in search of pleasure and enjoyment of life. And today, the people in this city that never sleeps are killing people all night, and they are killing happily and recklessly.

Tonight's battle began on the second watch, and it was not until the middle of the fifth watch that the battle finally ended temporarily.

For the Jin army, this battle can be said to have been lost to the grandmother's family, and it has paid huge casualties and costs. Fifteen thousand dead and wounded, the price of dozens of boats, this is the huge loss paid by the Jin army tonight. If it weren't for the fact that the big ships rescued a lot of soldiers who had fallen into the water on the river, and reduced the number of deaths by thousands, the battle would have almost lost 20,000 soldiers and horses.

The defenders also suffered a lot of losses, with seven or eight hundred killed and wounded when the suspension bridge was burned, and more than 500 people were killed by the bows and arrows of the Jin army. The biggest casualties were the Jin army entering the city and fighting on the embankments on both sides.

The defenders of Suzhou were indeed not strong, but more than 1,000 soldiers were killed in hand-to-hand combat, and more than 1,000 were wounded, and a total of nearly 4,000 casualties were paid.

Xu Ruchang was going to attack the city at any cost, but now the result is that he did pay a huge price, but he didn't get the result he wanted to get.

Halfway through the battle, the passage to the city was blocked by his own burning warship, which caused dozens of soldiers on the boat to be unable to approach the mouth of the river, which made Xu Ruchang have to stop the attack.

The only loophole in the plan made it difficult to carry out halfway through the war, which made Xu Ruchang unspeakably angry and uncomfortable. It's like halfway through sex, when you are about to die, but the other party gets up, pats your ass and runs away, that feeling is really the worst experience in the world.

Xu Ruchang had an expectation, hoping that the two groups of soldiers and horses who rushed into the city would be able to do something in the city. But standing on the bow of the ship and looking at it for a long time, I only heard the sound of shouting and killing in the city, and finally calmed down, and the Suzhou city gate in the north of the city was always safe and sound, and the defenders at the head of the city did not move, Xu Ruchang knew in his heart that the two groups of soldiers and horses had been wiped out.
