However, it was said that the Hubei merchant coalition army took advantage of the heavy fog to cross the river, but he did not expect that the barbarian army was cunning and arranged an iron cable on the river, and barbs were also placed on the iron cable, and the vanguard ships were hooked by barbs, and they were in a dilemma for a while. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The iron cable was connected with a brass bell to warn, and for a time the bell rang loudly, and the barbarian army got the alarm and left the camp one by one to stand by the river and release arrows on the river.

Lin Xing had no choice but to free up one hand to remove the flying arrows, which greatly slowed down the speed of melting the chains, in fact, these archers could not hurt him in the slightest, mainly because they were afraid that the sergeant behind him would make a noise after being injured.

Each chain is the thickness of a baby's arm, even if the temperature of the Five Elements Origin Fire is extremely high, it will take some time to melt, and the conjoined warship of the main force behind has already crossed the river, and the small boat in the lead will not get out of trouble, and it is very likely to be destroyed under the impact of the big ship.

In the end, there was no choice but to get the barb out and get the boat out of trouble, so that not only would the boat be in danger of entering the water, but also the threat of chains could not be removed.

"Are you afraid of death?" Lin Xing looked around at the sergeants around him, the boat he was on was mainly to explore the way for the main force, so there were only a dozen people on board.

These people are all Yin Shang soldiers, and they have a lot of respect for Lin Xing in their hearts, and they feel extremely honored to be able to fight with idols, and they have long put life and death aside. Hearing him ask like this, his blood boiled: "Don't be afraid!"

"Okay," Lin Xing stretched out his thumb: "You are all good men in my business! Your family will be proud of you!"

Saying that, Lin Xingyi pointed behind him: "The big ship is about to dock, and there are still mechanisms set up by the barbarian army in front of us, our ship is trapped here, and it is likely that a ship will be destroyed and people will die!"

"Whew!" Lin Xing let out a sigh: "What I want you to do is to attract the attention of the barbarian army and ensure that the main force crosses the river smoothly...... And I, I, will do everything in my power to clear these obstacles, and I can no longer keep you safe!"

Everyone didn't understand what Lin Xing meant, until he shouted, "Beat the drum!"

Crazy, isn't it? Originally, relying on the cover of the fog, it was difficult for the barbarians to detect their existence, and the small boat target was not large, even if there were occasional stray arrows, there was not much threat.

If you want to beat the drums of war, you will definitely become the target of everyone, but there are nearly 10,000 barbarian troops on the shore, and even one person can drown more than a dozen of them with a mouthful of foam.

Now they understood why Lin Xing asked them if they were afraid of death just now, and the feeling was to let them die.

However, the military order was like a mountain, even if they knew that they were going to die, these soldiers still carried out Lin Xing's order.

The loud drum sound of "Dong Dong ......" was like fireflies in the night, allowing the barbarians to find the target of the attack, and for a while all the archers turned around and released their arrows towards the location where the drum came from.

Here, Lin Xing had already used the fire of the five elements to fuse one end of the iron chain, and pulled out the barb that had pierced into the hull with great force. The boat, which had lost its restraints, drifted with the tide in the river and gradually drifted downstream.

"Go to the cabin of a few people to plug the leak, and the rest of the people will use shields to protect them! The drumming can't stop until they receive my signal!" Lin Xing finished speaking, and left the bow of the ship, the fused iron chain was only a section, and the width was only about a few zhang, which was not enough for the main ships behind to pass.

The sound of the drums gradually faded away, and the barbarians on the shore were dumbfounded, and they could know that the other party was beyond the range of bows and arrows, so should they chase or continue to defend here?

"Follow the river, chase!" "The commander of the defense battalion here is so happy that he is reluctant to let the credit in his hand fly away, since the merchant army is far away, it proves that the number is not too much, and there is a chain in the river to block the shore is not close to the shore, so I am afraid that they will not be able to ambush them?

Besides, who knows if this merchant army has come to inquire about the truth or not? Now that we know the arrangements here, we cannot let them escape, and annihilating them is a great achievement, and letting them go will not only have no merit, but if they do not do well, they will also bear the sin of dereliction of duty.

The battalion commander was not stupid, he did not bring all the horses, but also left 3,000 men and horses and his own capable generals to guard the camp, and agreed to blow the horn to notify the nearby stronghold of the barbarian army to support when he found the traces of the merchant army, and he himself would kill a horse gun, and he would definitely be able to annihilate all the merchant troops in the future.

Besides, the soldiers on the small boat, the cabin was pierced by iron thorns, and a large hole could not be blocked even if they wanted to. can only be barely stuffed with cotton clothes and quilts, and then two people can be separated to scoop the water outward, and they have to row against the current to prevent it from drifting too fast.

Their duty was to attract the attention of the barbarians so that the main force could land smoothly, and if the ship was too fast to keep it in order, the barbarians would turn their horses and stop pursuing.

Passing through two or three barbarian strongholds along the way, they found out how lucky they were, these ships responsible for feints were trapped by iron cables, and the soldiers on the ships had already died under the rain of arrows from the barbarian army.

The continuous sound of drums attracted the attention of the barbarians on the shore, and the pursuit team continued to expand, but this small boat finally attracted tens of thousands of people to chase and kill.

The sun rose in the east, the fog gradually thinned, and the barbarian army pursuing on the shore realized that the target they had been chasing was only an ordinary fishing boat, and there were only a few sergeants on board.

Besides, on Lin Xing's side, the barbarian defenders were led away by the boats, and without the harassment of the archers, he could let go of his hands and feet and concentrate on dealing with the iron cables on the river, and the fire of the five elements was fully exerted, and in a moment, four or five iron chains were fused, and the water area dozens of zhang wide was enough for the conjoined warships to pass.

Although there were more than 100,000 people in the Hubei-Shang coalition army, the ships were limited and could not pass through at one time, although the method of conjoined warships was wonderful, a maximum of several thousand people were ferried at a time, and dozens of times back and forth were required to transport all the men and horses to the opposite side.

Otherwise, there is no need to spend so much effort to harass and divert the tiger from the mountain, if tens of thousands of people can go ashore at a time, they can crush the barbarian stronghold, and only a few thousand people can only be outwitted.

The first batch was tentative in nature, carrying only more than 3,000 people, and Lin Xing ordered them to disperse and hide, and not to act rashly until reinforcements arrived.

At this time, the sky had already brightened, but the dense fog had not yet dispersed, and Lin Xing judged from experience that such a fog would last for at least more than an hour before the water vapor would gradually dissipate under the sun's irradiation.

In an hour, at most, another batch of reinforcements will arrive, and even if the number of people is more than the first time, it will be limited, and it will not exceed 5,000 at most.

Eight thousand against ten thousand...... Lin Xing didn't know how many enemy troops the boat had attracted, and for the time being, it could only be calculated according to 10,000. The overall combat effectiveness of the Hubei-Shang coalition army is not as good as that of the barbarian army, and the number is insufficient, so this battle is worrying!

PS: I didn't want to say it within the chapter, but you didn't read the content of the author's words, so I had to say it again.

Regarding the female No. 2 Mingyue, I admit that this is a poisonous point, and the collection has been in an uproar for the past two days.

But she still has to go, she can't go if she doesn't go! She has to go out to cultivate her own power, and come back to help the protagonist in the future.

The battle of the gods is a catastrophe of heaven and earth, and it is not just a defeat of Xiqi or expounding the religion that can be successfully passed, the water is very deep, including the heavenly court, including the ancient gods, including the rest of the sects like Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity will be involved in it.

In the orthodox Romance of the Gods, only the two Western saints appeared, and I am ready to include Egypt, ancient Greece, and even several other ancient countries, including Babylon.

In the face of so many opponents, it was impossible to rely on Yin Shang soldiers alone.

The island country is considered a help, and Mingyue is another one, plus the Monoyuan God Cult, as well as the old department of Heavenly Court, these forces may not be able to compete, and as long as there is an opportunity, they will arrange assistance for the protagonist.

Spoiler it first, and in the end, I'll find the soldiers of the Dragon King of the Four Seas......! You guess!
