Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 445 Attacking the Dadu River

On the south bank of the Dadu River is the Xuhen Army Village.

Yang Huai'an was practicing soldiers and horses in the camp, he shouted loudly, the soldiers held up their Teng shields and waved their iron knives, learning how to fight with sabers.

"The enemies we will face this time are different from those in the past. They are strong, brutal and savage. I hate that I am here today because of them."

"Yue Hou said that as long as we can block the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains to the Dadu River, we can enjoy the same treatment as the 37 troops!"

The great patriarch of the Void and Hate Department roared with a ferocious face.

As the voice fell, bursts of shouts and jumps came from all around.

In the past, Gao Fang borrowed 37 barbarian troops to overthrow Yang Ganzhen of Dayi Ning State and establish Dali State.

37 The soldiers of the barbarians received special treatment because of this, and the tribes were exempted from corvee and tax for generations.

This kind of welfare temptation is an irresistible temptation for any tribe in Dali.

"Exemption from corvee and taxation is a benefit we hate in the first place. It is because of the hateful Central Plains court that we lost our status. This time the thieves went south, it is the day of shame."

Yang Huai'an's eyes were full of fighting spirit. When he was young, he saw with his own eyes the grandfather who treated him so well died mournfully in his bed because of a fatal arrow wound.

Since then, he has determined to avenge his grandfather.

Practiced martial arts diligently, led the tribe to follow Duan Siping and Gao Fang in the north and south, and made great contributions.

In the early years, Gao Fang intended to transfer the barbarian tribe northward to Jianchang Mansion, Yang Huai'an volunteered to move the tribe northward in order to avenge his grandfather.

However, he has been stationed on the south bank of the Dadu River for many years, and he has found out that his enemies, the Gao Pian clan, have long been killed by Bi Shiduo and Qin Yan.

There is no motivation for revenge, but because of the hatred between the two races, Yang Huai'an has always been prejudiced against the northerners.

Knowing that the northerners might attack Dali this time, Yang Huai'an couldn't help but feel excited.

The Xuhen Department was originally a southern tycoon and also included in the Barbarian Department. It was because of Li Tang that they didn't get this wave of benefits.

The Luo Yu court had always respected Li Tang as orthodox, and this hatred was naturally transferred.

"Report, Clan Commander, the navy of the Central Plains has arrived on the other side of the Hanyuan City River!"

Yang Huai'an suddenly got the enemy's track, so he mounted his horse and galloped to the defense line of Dadu River.

The Dadu River originates in Yushu, Qinghai, at the southern foot of Guoluo Mountain in the Animaqing Mountains, and its upper source is Zumuzu River. It passes through Aba County and receives Suomo River and Chuosijia River in Malkang County. It flows southward through Jinchuan County, Danba County, then through Luding County and Shimian County, turns eastward, passes through Hanyuan County and Ebian County, and flows into the Minjiang River in the south of Leshan City.

The whole line is located between the mountains, the river is rushing, and the whirlpools are clustered.

Only Hanyuan is located on both banks of the middle reaches of the Dadu River, in the valley between the Sichuan-Shu Basin and the plateau, and on the eastern edge of the northern section of the Hengduan Mountains. The river is blocked by mountains and is relatively gentle.

Neither blocked by mountains nor harmed by torrents, it is the best landing place for hundreds of miles before and after.

If the imperial court of the Central Plains wanted to go south, they had to cross the river from Hanyuan.

Because of this, in order to prevent the northern army from going south, Gao Fang built a group of stone fortresses on the south bank of the Dadu River near Hanyuan.

Three villages were built on two highlands in Shazhou and the south bank in Hejian, and they were connected with each other by pontoon bridges.Stone walls are built outside each fort group, and there are several large and small blockhouses inside.

The three villages echo each other and support each other.

No matter where the enemy attacks, they will be attacked from three sides.

Yang Huai'an flew all the way, entered the southwest stone castle village, crossed the pontoon bridge, and walked quickly to the stone castle in the sand to have a look.

However, on the north bank of the Dadu River, there are densely packed warships, and hundreds of boats are sailing upstream to the north bank wharf.

"How spectacular!"

Yang Huaian gasped.

They didn't have a navy in Dali, and it was the first time they saw this scene, and they were inevitably shocked.

Lieutenant Hao Chen said in a daze, "How did they push so many warships upstream?"

If you want to sail the ship here, the biggest difficulty is to pass through the Leshan Waterway.

The Leshan Waterway is located at the side of Lingyun Temple on the east bank of the South Minjiang River in Leshan, near the confluence of the Dadu River, Qingyi River and Minjiang River, and gathers at the foot of Lingyun Mountain.

The Leshan Giant Buddha was also built for this reason.

Warships are no worse than cargo ships and have a deeper draft, so it is extremely difficult to guard against reef torrents.

It is astonishing that the Central Plains navy can overcome such a difficult problem and sail the naval warships upstream to this place.

There was also a trace of horror in Yang Huai'an's eyes, and he forced himself to be calm: "It doesn't matter how he got here, we don't fight with him on the water, what's the use of them transporting so many boats here?"

He continued to look north and said after a long while: "According to this situation, the Central Plains will attack after a short rest. At most, it will only be three days. Let our people take all precautions. Just rely on us to cross the river and three villages, let the opponent have a thousand An army of ten thousand horses can't do anything to us."

He just finished speaking.

Then he heard the sound of war drums coming from the opposite side.

Countless banners of various sizes were hoisted on the surface of the water, and they went down to cover the river, with swords and guns raised at the same time, and the sound of shouting and killing was earth-shattering!
On the other side of the Dadu River, more than [-] large and small warships have already launched an attack on Shibaozhai in the Hejian Shazhou where he is located.

Yang Huai'an immediately laughed angrily, and said: "It's unreasonable, the Central Plains underestimated us too much. Really think that in this world, they are the only ones who can be called heroes? I am all incompetent in Dali? Can I take it at will?"

With anger in his eyes, he shouted loudly: "Meet the enemy!"

The soldiers of Sanzhai moved instantly.

Yang Huai'an has fought for a long time, facing the current situation, although his heart is full of anger, he is not chaotic and resolute, he raised his voice and shouted: "The gunners are in position, listen to my orders..."

Seeing the enemy ship enter the artillery range, Yang Huai'an stared and shouted: "Let go!"

More than forty cannon stones rose into the air and slammed into the Central Plains warships with a strong wind, but none of them hit.

The boulder fell into the water, splashing water more than ten feet high between the boats.

Indistinctly, Yang Huai'an seemed to hear the laughter on the other side.

Holding his breath, Yang Huai'an was not in a hurry, and said loudly: "The Pao Shi hand photo just landed, correct the distance...and then release..."

After the correction, the accuracy improved, and the jeers on the battleship suddenly turned into exclamations mixed with screams, and finally two cannonballs hit the target.

However, the opponent's battleship seemed to be very strong, and it didn't have much impact on the ship.

Yang Huai'an couldn't help frowning, feeling a little strange in his heart.

Why didn't the opponent fight back?

The advantage of cannon stones has always been the Central Plains people who have the upper hand.

The other party entered the range and remained indifferent?

Can not help but surprise.

Yang Huai'an didn't care about it, and continued to shoot Pao Shi Qiang crossbow.

After three rounds in a row, the Central Plains was still passively beaten. A ship began to sink gradually under their cannon stones. Apparently, a big hole was blasted at the bottom of the ship.

It's just that the opponent didn't completely sink to the bottom of the water, it should be the soldiers in the cabin who blocked the breach.

Yang Huai'an raised his eyebrows and laughed loudly: "Everyone on the opposite side, don't blame me for having no eyes, but blame your Central Plains emperor for being incompetent and want you to come and die!"

The surrounding soldiers also laughed: "The emperor of the Central Plains is incompetent and wants you to come and die!"

The sound floated over the Dadu River...

　Xie Shuyou happy villain hundred rewards, thank you for your support!
