Chapter 56: Yongjia (Today's Second Watch, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
On the 18th of the month, Zhang Xuanning stood on the five-story deck of the Wuya giant ship, and during today's voyage, when he thought of this, his heart swelled with powerful and incomparable confidence and pride. \.qΞβ€. Coο½\
Twenty-seven warships, full of soldiers, 300 men each, 600 men on the main ship, with only 300 horsemen, the total number of warriors was as high as 8,400.
Suddenly, the morning sun was slowly rising ahead, and the coast in the distance was verdant.
The waves crashed against the reef, splashing a few feet high. The rows of waves are getting more and more urgent, higher and higher, like thousands of war horses galloping together, mighty, earth-shattering, the waves hit the embankment, roaring, deafening.
The turquoise ocean, coupled with the blue sky reflected in the water, is more and more blue, the water and the sky are integrated, and it is really impossible to tell which is the sky and which is the earth.
Zhang Xuanning's mind seems to be fused with the sea view in front of him, all the doubts about victory and defeat have been expelled from the Civic by him, to this world, it has been three years, after three years of hard practice, hard work, precautions, fighting for luck, he has gone from a small gangster in Yangzhou to become a party manager who is proud of the world.
As long as he can take Yongjia County, he will immediately have the capital of the south, the concept of one county and two counties is completely different, one county, in fact, is equal, everyone has the power of a war, if it is two counties, then you can gather the power of two counties, attack one county, and each break.
The so-called emperor's capital can be determined from the time he takes Yongjia City, and he can convince the person around him.
The person next to him is a strong man of twenty-seven or eight years old, with a majestic figure, a simple face, a dark and solid skin, and a strong and domineering bearing. This is Chen Changlin.
"Yongjia City is almost here, when it arrives, is Brother Changlin willing to remove this military camp outside the city for me?" Zhang Xuanning said softly after a good spare time, although he needed Chen Changlin, why didn't Chen Changlin need to find a solid backer for his family?
The monarch chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king, and it is not okay to talk about the vernacular. Chen Changlin came this time, and these three hundred clansmen were ready to sacrifice here to show the sincerity and value of the Chen family, and they looked at the past at the moment and smiled: "A few military camps outside the city are just for early warning, there are only 100 people, and there are only 2 or 300 people. Don't worry, Commander, I'll take it down for you. β
He smiled and said, "It seems that Yongjia City has not been fighting for a long time, and there is no basic equipment to set up various obstacles in the waterway to prevent the passage of ships, so that I can wait for a long time to go down the city." β
"It seems that Brother Changlin is really good at water warfare, please come for me. β
Chen Changlin also needed to show himself, nodded and said: "The battle of the sea is all about the wind. The wind is not smooth, although it is tens of miles away, it is like thousands of miles, and it is difficult to reach it in ten days. But it is very difficult to control the sea, and if you let the fleet cruise the sea all day long, if you encounter a storm. and they will be annihilated. Therefore, when the first day of the naval battle is heavy, there is no wind and no fighting, and there is no battle in the wind. A hurricane is coming, the sand roads are unfamiliar, the thieves are outnumbered, and there is no place to anchor in front of them. and its battle, the courage is nothing, and all are attacked with arrows and stones. Alas, the hull of the ship is swaying, and it will be a hundred times more difficult to hit the enemy ship than on the river. And I chase away with the wind, and the thief flees with the wind, and there is no ambush to set up. There is no danger to be strangled, and it is a great fortune to be able to break one or two of its ships, and it is not easy to dominate the vast sea. β
Speaking of this, Zhang Xuanning's eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered the endless killing pirate groups in ancient Europe, and also remembered the policy of the mainland regime in the future to ignore sea power and land from the sea to attack the enemy. Everyone knows it, but it can't keep up with the technology. The sea road is the road to death.
Strong big ship, not to mention, compass is also a must, even coastal islands for development, the establishment of supplementary points, this is a set of vast engineering, thinking of this, he remembered Lu Miaozi's new boat manufacturing technology, one of which is called the flywheel warship, the use of water on the ship to produce a ground reaction force to push the ship forward, than with oars more labor-saving and effective, even when there is no wind, can also travel a hundred miles a day, is a kind of ship loaded with wheels, put the left and right strings under the wheel to rush the water, the wind and waves, as fast as hanging sails, easy to manufacture and durable. The moment is even more fascinating.
If this ship is acquired, it is feared that it will be possible to break through a certain limit of ancient navigation technology, and the conditions will be ripe for large-scale development of the sea.
However, this is already a later story, he said: "If it is a simple sea, if there is a big ship, how many soldiers can Brother Changlin transport?"
Chen Changlin thought for a while and said: "My Chen family has been a maritime merchant for generations, and I am relatively familiar with the coast, and I can accurately grasp the rise and fall of the wind and tide, and I can transport 10,000 people at a time, and as long as the voyage does not exceed half a month, I can come and go." β
Zhang Xuanning smiled: "That's very good, well, the military camp is here." β
Chen Changlin looked over, only to see a military camp on a hill a few miles away, the military camp had already noticed the incoming boat, issued a warning sound, and several cavalry hurriedly ran along the coast towards the city.
Laughing at the moment, Chen Changlin said: "Let the chief official see the combat power of my Chen family's disciples." β
After saying that, he went down on his own, and there was not much time, and the six medium-sized boats he brought went straight up, and the other party also rushed out of some boats, which seemed to be only a dozen boats, and they were also small and medium-sized.
As soon as the two fleets fought, they saw Chen
Rockets were fired from the ship, and hundreds of rockets were suddenly hit on one ship, and thick smoke rose, Zhang Xuanning gathered his eyes and saw more than a dozen soldiers on the enemy deck, who were overwhelmed by the sudden arrows and died tragically, and some even fell directly into the river.
For a time, the sound of killing shook the sky.
Under the unified order, the six ships of Chen Changlin actually made full use of the subtleties of the wind direction to always control the rhythm of the war, so that some parts were in a situation of fighting more and less, and there was not much time, the flames rose one after another, and the enemy ships were destroyed one after another.
It's really a good boat technique, a good command, seeing this, Zhang Xuanning didn't need to investigate more, and immediately ordered: "Each ship will move forward, and Gao Zhandao will command and attack." β
Suddenly, more than 20 warships came up one after another, although they could not cooperate with Chen Changlin's fleet, but they were numerous, and everyone shouted to kill at the moment.
There were not many sailors in Yongjia County, but there were more than 1,000 of them, and after fighting for one morning, the whole army perished.
Between the wharf and Yongjia City, there is a vast open land of hundreds of zhang, and Chen Changlin's boat first docked. After the clean-up was completed, the other sea ships docked on the dock, and suddenly, a large number of soldiers swarmed down and spread out of the city.
"Who's coming?" Officials appeared in the city, and it seemed that the county guards were all here.
"I am Zhang Xuanning, the governor of Wuzhou. I know that you have no more than 1,000 soldiers in the city, so quickly surrender to me without losing your official position, and as for Miao Haichao's chaos, I will deal with it. "It has been investigated in advance, and the Miao Haichao chaos has already consumed a large number of troops, so that the troops in Yongjia City are insufficient.
"Phew, you rebel and thief. Your Majesty promoted you in the grass, less than a year, from the ninth grade to the sixth grade, so favored, it is really rare, I can't imagine that you not only do not remember the grace of heaven, but rebel, it is really punishable by everyone, I am too guarded by the four grades, how can I descend to a thief like you?" said an official scoldingly. It looks a bit internal, and the sound is very loud.
"Hmph, I don't know if I'm dead or alive, attack it. Zhang Xuanning sneered.
With the order, the war drums shook the sky.
The afternoon sun shone on the city, and Zhang Xuanningjun shouted. Moving forward slowly, the big banner with the word "Zhang" fluttering in the wind in the Chinese army, the military appearance is prosperous, and the power is pressing.
Zhang Xuanning slowly pulled out the knife, the yellow light on the broken saber flickered, and for a while, he already felt that the evil qi was about to melt away, and the breakthrough was just around the corner.
"The lord does not have to break the city and fight himself, we have eight thousand people, and there are only one thousand in the city. It can be broken, and the lord only needs to be in command. At this moment, Li Chunfeng, who was accompanying him, stepped forward and said.
"Brother Xian, you must also experience this point, all the founding lords must personally risk swords and arrows, go into battle to kill people, in order to suppress the arrogant soldiers below, in order to establish the prestige of the lord, such as I do not wear armor to go into battle. Besides, our army is still full of 10,000 people. It is not yet possible to say that the Lord will strategize and make a decision. Zhang Xuanning shook his head and said: "And how difficult it is to break the city, if I can't break the city at one time, it will be constantly consumed, but I am afraid that even if this city is captured, our army will lose more than 2,000, at this time, it is still difficult to bear, and now there are no brave generals in our army, only I personally attacked." β
As he spoke, ten wooden tanks piled down the ship, covered with thick soil, began to move in the direction of the city gate, and in each car, there were ten soldiers hidden, and as soon as they reached the city gate, they could hit the city gate from the wooden carts.
There are more than a dozen catapults, driven by hundreds of sappers, neatly arranged, and then, there are thousands of wooden shields, below are soldiers with sandbags on their backs, as long as the order is given, the moat can be filled.
An order, the first wave of attacks began, the tanks stepped forward one by one, frantically hit the city gate, and the catapults also began to attack the city wall, the sand throwers stepped forward one after another, and walked back as soon as they threw down the sandbags, half an hour later, Zhang Xuanning's army was under the city, leaving hundreds of corpses, ten wooden tanks did not play the role of imagination, were hit by the boulders falling on the city, disintegrated, but the catapults played a huge role, in the city, also collapsed several walls, and killed dozens of enemies.
"Hmph, the moat has been flattened, launch a second wave of attacks. Zhang Xuanning stared at the busy soldiers and civilians in the city, after the frantic battle, they were few in number after all, and there was no time to rest at all.
Another wave of attacks, war drums and horns sounded in unison, resounding through the heavens and the earth.
With a thousand people as a unit, divided into six groups, each attacked separately, each group of battles, there were hundreds of corpses lying on the ground, and by the fourth group of attacks, it was already dusk.
Zhang Xuanning looked up at the sky and said slowly: "The enemy army is tired, I will personally go up, and I will break through this city tonight, hey, if it weren't for the Miao Haichao chaos, I really wouldn't be sure that I would rely on these 8,000 people to capture the county with 3,000 troops." β
After speaking, he shouted: "Guard, follow me!"
During the fifth wave of attacks, Zhang Xuanning shouted, personally led three hundred guards, participated in the war, three hundred people are a bit of martial arts, the enemy fought for a long time, and also lost nearly two hundred people, tired, suddenly, Zhang Xuanning jumped on the ladder, broke the saber turned into a yellow mang, and went upward.
The enemy is not stupid either
More than a dozen archers shot at him.
The broken saber slashed out left and right, opened the vital place, and rushed straight to defend inside and outside, regardless of the rain of arrows, he rushed upward, only to feel a few pains on his body, but it was already an arrow that broke through the double armor inside and outside, but he still ignored it, and rushed straight up, and the twenty-meter city wall was pounced on in a blink of an eye.
The two enemy soldiers shouted and stepped forward to assassinate them, but they were swordsmanlike. The two enemies immediately fell from the wall with blood splattered on their faces.
But at this moment, an officer roared angrily, the long knife was in the direction, Zhang Xuanning backhanded, he had been in the battle formation for a long time, and he knew that when he killed the enemy, he was bound to go all out, and he would kill with one blow, and then the long knife of the broken army was withdrawn.
The officer was stunned. When the long knife fell to the ground and blood appeared on the forehead, it collapsed with a bang.
After killing this official, the city guards screamed sadly, and dozens of people besieged him, Zhang Xuanning suddenly felt a heavy pressure, almost surrounded by swords and swords, but his heart was as cold as ice, but he could kill in his hands. The knives and knives seem to be a trick to die with the enemy, killing the enemy when they see it, and blood is splashed.
It seemed that there was only a few breaths of time, and the young commander was covered in blood, and he didn't know how much of it was the enemy's land and how much of his own land, and the enemies who rushed up were cut down to the ground one by one, and the severe pain on his body continued to occur, and it was obvious that he had been hit by the sword again. It's just that it was protected by double heavy armor, and it deviated from the key point, and the entrance was not deep, and the guards below also shouted, desperately crawling forward, and arrows rained down nearby. One guard after another fell down screaming.
Li Chunfeng was below, looking straight up, and saw dozens of meters away, but it was like hell, his body was full of cold sweat, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart, at this moment, with a cheer, he looked up, and saw that a group of seven or eight guards had climbed to the wall. Immediately protected the lord.
"Long live, long live, long live!" This little fight attracted the attention of countless people, and Zhang Xuanningjun below, the commander in front of him took the sword himself, got into battle, and broke through the wall, and immediately shouted Long live. Morale is high.
The soldiers behind immediately rushed forward.
In fact, there were only 800 soldiers in the city. The rest were the people, once they broke through the wall, the general trend was gone, and there was not much time, and the city gate crashed down, and at this time, as long as there were still field soldiers, except for the hundreds guarding the ship, all rushed into the city one by one.
Zhang Xuanning put away the knife without fighting, felt the countless wounds on his body, but his heart was extremely comfortable, relying on the countless accumulations before, it seemed that just now, inadvertently, broke the last film, his body was straight, and his heart was full of light, which was definitely different from the realm of selflessness that had been sitting quietly before, but because of the bridge between the inner and outer space, they could feel an unfathomable mystery in the universe and grasp some indescribable power.
In the unprecedented condensation and transformation of the true qi, the essence of heaven and earth penetrated down from the top of the head, and every point was transforming the nature of the true qi in the body, and the evil qi finally turned into nothingness in this air flow, and at this moment, he felt the realm of the unity of heaven and man, although this feeling flashed away.
When he opened his eyes, it was already dark, and the guards around him were still surrounded by groups, but there was no sound of fighting in the city.
"Lord, are you awake?"
"Oh, it's Brother Xian, what's the matter, how much time have I set?"
"It's been two hours, the city has been occupied, congratulations to the lord for capturing this city, congratulations to the lord for his great progress in martial arts, and to enter the first-class realm. Li Chunfeng stepped forward and saluted respectfully, his family has a lot of knowledge, and now although he only has a second-rate realm, he can grasp Zhang Xuanning's breakthrough.
In his feeling, Zhang Xuanning has become as deep as the abyss sea at this time, and it is difficult to measure.
It is not surprising that a first-class master can come into contact with the world in the original realm.
Zhang Xuanning laughed: "This is God helping me." β
In fact, first-class masters are all heroes in the world, even if they start empty-handed, they can also establish a career, and even if they are facing the grandmaster, as long as they are determined to flee, the grandmaster is difficult to easily capture.
After capturing Yongjia County, he officially had the capital to live in the south, and was promoted to a first-rate master, which in this world, means that the two major forces converge, and it also means that it is difficult for others to assassinate him by assassination.
Even a coup d'Γ©tat may not be, in a world without martial arts, a coup d'Γ©tat may only require a hundred people, but in a world with martial arts, a coup d'Γ©tat must have more than a thousand people, and with the help of other masters, in order to design a kill-this is no longer a secret calculation, just a medium and large-scale coup d'Γ©tat with extremely high difficulty.
With this skill, it is difficult for someone to easily turn him into a pawn.
For a while, Zhang Xuanning stood upright at the bow of the boat, staring ahead, his luck was adjusted, and the night wind blew, making his clothes hunting, and his heart was full of joy.
