Chapter 729: Crossing

Li Yue held the ground with his sword, ignoring the fatigue of running back and forth, just looking at the river and the south, his heart rose and fell, and the victory or defeat was in one fell swoop.

A long-cherished wish for many years is also here.

Ma Gu and Shen Jin's naval army can only be used as a surprise soldier, and the frontal battlefield cannot open the situation, and it is difficult for his team to play a miraculous effect.

Li Yue never pinned his hopes on others.

On the river, dozens of ships sailed out of the enemy's water village.

Although Xie Xuanshuijun went downstream, he still kept a hand.

But dozens of ships, in front of thousands of bamboo rafts and wooden rafts, as if a few lions met a herd of hyenas.

A little spark ignited, dispelling the twilight on the river.

Fierce as a wolf, it went on a rampage, knocking over dozens of rafts and boats, which were covered with raw cowhides and could not burn for a moment.

However, it was obvious that these dozens of ships could not stop so many bamboo rafts, and the soldiers braved the rain of cannons and arrows on the south bank, and frantically surged towards the south bank.

Someone fell into the water, clutching driftwood and struggling to get to the south bank.

In less than an hour, Liang soldiers rushed to the south bank, and the fire also extended to the south bank of the river, igniting the dry grass and reeds on the shore.

Suddenly, the south bank was in flames, and there was a sound of killing.

In the firelight, there were overwhelming arrows and spears, densely packed.

None of the Black Cloud soldiers on the south bank retreated, and their thin figures bravely met the enemy's spears, and then fell in the light of the fire.

The entire south bank is gradually dyed bright red......

The armies that the Chu army can fight are all the naval army and the Beifu army, Xie Xuan supports Wuchang, and it is impossible to leave many elites in Lexiang.

The fire on the river was bright, and the dozens of ships were ignited by the bamboo rafts with fire oil, and stopped in the center of the river, crackling and burning, and there were constantly fire people screaming, jumping from the boat into the river, and there was no sound again.

Li Yue walked to the riverside, facing the river breeze, the coldness carried by the wind slightly dispelled the fatigue on his body, and several floating corpses were sent back to the north bank by the waves, up and down, with a touch of pale red in the dark river water.

At first, I thought it was Chu Jun, but my eyes swept over, and I suddenly saw a somewhat familiar face.

Holding the torch closer, there was an inexplicable sadness in his heart, among the floating corpses, there was Jia Ping, his white eyes staring at the dark sky blankly, rising and falling in the waves, more than ten arrows in his chest, and the internal organs torn by the spear, the blood had already dried up, and the wound was faintly white.

The boy lived up to the promise he had made when he set out on the expedition.

Li Yue hooked him ashore with a spear, closed his eyes, and had no time to grieve for him, "Recover the bodies and bury them by the river." ”

War is incomparably cruel, and this kind of thing will continue if the world is not unified for a long time.

Since the end of the Han Dynasty, I don't know how many good Chinese sons and daughters have been buried on the battlefield.

Either he died inexplicably due to the cannibalism of the Eight Kings, or he died in great humiliation under the sword and spear of the Hu people.

Looking at the faint sound of fighting on the other side, Li Yue returned to Gangneung City, climbed the tower and beat the war drums with his guards.

Knock, knock, knock......

The sound was heavier than the other, piercing through the long night and crossing the Yangtze River.

A moment later, the shouts of killing on the south bank of the river became fierce again.

Li Yue knocked until he couldn't raise his hands, and then he was replaced by his own guards, leaning on the pillar of the city tower, quietly looking at the south, eager to carry his knife and kill across the river.

But now he is an emperor, not a bandit leader.

On the battlefield, no matter how much magic the master will calculate, it is the most reasonable thing to meet the brave on a narrow road, and no matter how good the pre-war deployment is, it also needs to be carried out by the soldiers. force

Gradually, the enemy's artillery and arrows rained down.

This shows that the Yangtze River has been completely controlled by its own side, but the shouting and killing on the south bank has not stopped.

The people pulled out more bamboo rafts and wooden rafts and spread them on the river, and the soldiers in heavy armor jumped on them one by one and floated with the water to the south bank.

Listening to the shouting and killing in his ears, Li Yue fell asleep in a daze.

I was really tired of going back and forth in the past few days, after all, I was also a forty-year-old person, and I couldn't sleep for three days and three nights like back then.

When I opened my eyes, the sky was slightly bright, and I was wearing a cold coat.

Lu Qing by his side kept watch all night, his eyes red.

Li Yue glanced at the opposite bank, since no one woke him up, it meant that the attack was smooth.

If you keep it for a long time, you will lose, no matter how powerful Xie Xuan is, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and it is impossible to take care of such a long river defense.

In the face of so much pressure, it is very good to be able to fight with yourself until now.

"Your Majesty, our army has broken through the enemy's water village and is besieging Lexiang City." Lu Qing's face was tired, and his words were full of excitement.

"Only take the water village?" Li Yue was slightly disappointed, making such a big move, but he couldn't break through the city.

Lexiang City is not broken, Xie Xuan still has a chance.

However, it is not to blame the soldiers for their ineffective fighting, it is not easy to break through the enemy's water village, there is no siege equipment, and there is no Lexiang City for a while.

"The enemy generals Tian Luo and Sun Wuzhong were quite heroic, and led two or three thousand elite elites of the Northern Mansion to defend the city."

"Let Zhang Oyster and Liu Gaozhi lead the vanguard army to cross the river, and pass the word to the two of them, Wuchang didn't take it, I don't blame them, Lexiang can't take it, don't brag about any more enemies!"

"Command!"

After a while, Li Yue heard a series of sharp and high-pitched roars coming from the city.

This duck-like voice, you don't need to look at it to know that it is Zhang Oyster, only his voice can be so special.

Then there was the sonorous sound of heavy armor, and a group of heavily armored foot soldiers carried big axes and maces towards the Yangtze River.

Having controlled the Yangtze River, it was only a matter of time before Lexiang was conquered.

Looking at this momentum, Li Yue knew that Lexiang City was almost over.

They have always been the ones who have been charging into battle, invincible in all attacks, and rarely disappointed Li Yue's hopes.

At noon, the scout excitedly reported, "Your Majesty, the two generals Zhang and Liu took the lead and broke through the city, General Zhang beheaded Sun without end, Tian Luo was exhausted, and led the seventy-three parts to kill himself in the east. ”

Hearing the enemy's self-slaughter, the original hatred in Li Yue's heart suddenly disappeared.

The two armies are at war, each with its own master.

Even if there is hatred, it should not spread to ordinary soldiers.

Many of their fathers, brothers, and neighbors also died at the hands of the Black Cloud Army, and this kind of hatred is meaningless.

However, the spirit of Tian Luo and others is worthy of admiration by future generations, and it is much stronger than the famous families who kneel under the crotch of Hu Ren and beg for a living at every turn.

"Thick burial." Li Yue waved his hand.

"Yui!"

Lexiang was broken, and Xie Xuan became a lost dog.

Li Yue washed his face with cold water, and the whole person suddenly became energetic.

Although the battle was fierce all night, there were still 20,000 soldiers in Gangneung City who did not participate in the battle.

"Order, the army in the city is exhausted, follow me to Xiakou, I can't leave Xie Xuan!"

If Xie Xuan's naval army and Beifu army retreat to Jiangdong, it will definitely be a big hidden danger in the future.

Taking down this person is equivalent to cutting off Huan Wen and Xie An's arms.
