Chapter 281: Surrounded on All Sides
The Iida clan was killed by an arrow, and Zhang Li's flagship wanted to hide in the chaos of the ship in order to avoid the cold arrow. Perhaps because of the haste of turning the rudder, the flagship ran aground in the river.
Seeing that Chang Mao had already waved the boat to kill, Zhang Li had no choice but to take people to his ship to hide, and the "Zhang" flag on the flagship, which represented Zhang Li, was cut off by Chang Mao.
And the other flagship of the leader of the Japanese Bandits, the Oida clan Nao, who represented the position of his family governor on his own car, the banner of "Hachiman Damyojin" had already been captured by another Taicang guard warship. In the water war, the most important thing is the "flag", that is, the battle flag that follows the flag and guards the commander.
But the flags representing the two thieves were captured by the Ming army, and the thieves completely turned into headless flies. All the ships lost their fighting spirit and began to flee in all directions. At this time, on the river, the estuary was blocked by the Taicang warship, and behind it was Suzhou Jiancheng, and the only way to survive was to abandon the ship and run to both sides of the river......
So, countless thieves pulled up their sails and drove their boats to the shore. At this time, there is no need to care whether the ship will run aground in the shallows, and escaping for one's life is the first priority.
There were even thieves, or the boat was dragged by the Taicang guard, or simply disliked that the boat was too slow and the target was too big, so they directly chose to jump into the icy river and swim ashore to escape.
However, when the first batch of thieves who were about to land on the north bank of the river were overjoyed, thinking that they had finally found a way out......
"Suzhou Wei Qianhu Cao Yuan! I've been waiting here for a long time! ”
In the grass by the beach, thousands of Ming soldiers suddenly came out, and it was Cao Yuan, who had invited himself out of the city to attack the camp. Cao Yuan's subordinates are the only soldiers of Suzhou Wei who dare to fight, and because of the bloody battle on Pishi Street, they have won Zhu Su's trust.
After all, there are more than 10,000 thieves, even more than 10,000 pigs tied up for slaughter, and it will take some time to kill them one by one, not to mention that these people are still running around. Therefore, there are not a few thieves who have escaped ashore. Now these people have become trapped beasts, they know that if they do not break through this group of Ming troops, they will definitely die, the braver Japanese immediately pulled out their swords, squeaked and shouted in the Japanese language, and launched a decisive charge towards Cao Yuan's department.
"Mandarin Duck Array!"
Cao Yuan was not in a hurry, shouting and letting his soldiers lay out the mandarin duck array, which is now becoming more and more proficient. It is rare for His Royal Highness Fifth to let himself take on the responsibility of defending the city, but he only fought a few anticlimactic battles in the east of the city, and he has long been holding back a fire in his heart: he can finally fight a tough battle, and he must let His Highness know his ability......
"By order of His Highness...... Be sure not to leave a single one! ”
Seeing the Ming army holding a strange-looking wolf, the charging wolf was overjoyed: these Ming troops actually used bamboo as a weapon, and they also put on such a loose formation. It must be just a militia that can't even be equipped with weapons and can only be used to make up the numbers.
It's just a militia, isn't that a one-touch collapse?
But they did not expect that these "militiamen" on the other side were not only "militiamen" with low combat effectiveness, but the "fathers" of these Japanese bandits......
As soon as the two sides came into contact, even Cao Yuan's soldiers did not expect that the wolf and the mandarin duck array would be so handy against these Japanese people armed with sharp swords.
That's right, it's "handy".
The wolf is tough and multi-branched, and these "bamboos" that should have been the most feared by the Ming army have played a huge role that no one expected: a casual stab of the wolf can often stop or even hook the indestructible swords of the wolf; And even if they used all their strength to slash, they couldn't completely split the wolf with the complex shape, so as to break through to the front of the soldiers in the mandarin duck array.
The Japanese swords could not be used to kill the Ming army, nor could they get close to the Ming army, and although the shouting and screaming Japanese people were amazing, they could only fall one after another like moths to the flames, under the wolf and spear pierced by the Ming soldiers.
"Hiss......" Seeing that his soldiers were becoming more and more brave as they fought, and there were surprisingly almost no casualties, Cao Yuan almost lost his eyes: even if these thieves were the pawns of the defeated army, but such a battle loss ratio, isn't it too unbelievable?
This mandarin duck array of the Five Highnesses...... How can it be like it was specially drilled to deal with these pirates?
More than 1,000 soldiers of Cao Yuan on the north shore used a mandarin duck formation to completely stop the thieves who seized the shore of the road. The thieves who chose to land on the south bank were even more desperate: in front of them was a whole army of brightly armoured and well-armed cavalry!
Don't forget, Panmen is a city gate with "water and land gates" in parallel. Although the water gate was closed, a cavalry galloped out of the land gate and followed behind the thief fleet on the north bank.
At this time, when the front of the fleet was blocked by the Taicang guards, and the thieves had no choice but to choose to flee ashore, the cavalry, which had been quietly following behind the thieves, finally showed his fangs:
First, with the help of a telescope, he found out where the head of the thief was, and Zhu Su's subordinate dog quietly climbed onto the boulder on the shore, and condescendingly sniped one of the enemy thieves, Ida, with a big bow.
Then this cavalry army galloped out and hunted down the thieves who came ashore scattered to their heart's content!
In the army, there is a widely circulated slang saying: If you resist riding with foot, you will definitely die. It's about the difference between cavalry and infantry. This cavalry consisted of Zhu Zhang's Qin Wangwei and Zhu Su's Wu Wangwei. Qin Wangwei was originally a cavalry army of a hundred battles, and he still did not fall behind in the face of the Mongols who grew up on horseback, let alone these stragglers who fled ashore!
War horses galloped back and forth on the shore, like a circle of winches that were constantly turning to strangle the thieves who came ashore. This array is the "car suspension" created by the Han general Huo Quai, which is the most suitable for cavalry strangulation. Between the Mercedes Benz, the road to the shore was completely blocked and locked.
Thieves were constantly being slain on long spears by the galloping cavalry, and let out piercing screams. Zhu Su's general order was not to leave a living mouth, and there was really no live mouth that could successfully highlight the range of the car suspension riding array. There were even thieves on the river who were so intimidated by this cavalry that they preferred to float in the river rather than go ashore, or turned their heads and tried to swim farther to the riverbank: but they were either killed by a stray arrow, or they were completely exhausted in the water and then sank into the river.
"The entrance to the sea in front is blocked by the Taicang guard, the ambush of the Suzhou guard on the south bank, and the Wang Wei of our brother on the north bank. Even when the navy in the city has cleared the battlefield, they will open the water gate and go out of the city to participate in the siege......"
"With such a closure, it's hard to fly even if you have wings. This time, these people will be killed by you all. Zhu Di rode on his horse, looking at the battlefield in front of him like Shura Purgatory, and was a little eager to try. Surrounded on all sides, more than 10,000 thieves barely had the slightest ability to resist, and they sank to the bottom of the river one by one with hatred.
"Old Five, it's better to leave some thieves in front, you and my brother take the guards to go up to practice and see blood, how about it?"
“…… Fourth brother, a gentleman does not stand a dangerous wall. Now that the victory is decided, wouldn't it be foolish if we stepped forward and confronted them? If you are in a Jedi, you need to boost the morale of the generals. ”
"If anything is good, give them a chance to turn defeat into victory...... You can settle down and watch here. Zhu Su flatly refused, he had no interest in killing with his own hands.
"Fourth, the fifth has always been weak and sickly, and my father and mother love the fifth the most, if I knew that you encouraged him to fight, I don't know how I would teach you a lesson." Zhu Fan also laughed at Zhu Di and said. "But seeing that Chang's eldest brother is on the river, it's really refreshing to kill...... You see, his banner almost wiped out the thief's fleet. ”
Zhu Su looked along Zhu Rong's point, and saw that the "Zheng Guo Gongchang" Daxu was really about to kill through the enemy ship, and the Taicang guard ships behind him followed closely behind, tearing apart the ship's paralyzed and floating thieves. The river was littered with large wrecks of broken wood and boats, as well as fire and blood.
"I heard that Uncle Chang's family was known as 'Chang 100,000', and he was known as Uncle Xu in the army, and his bravery was well-known in the world. Brother Chang Mao really has the wind of being a father! Zhu Su also praised from the bottom of his heart.
But before the words fell, Zhu Su was extremely shocked to find that Chang Mao's majestic embroidered gold silk fell down very abruptly in front of his eyes!
