The rise of the prince

Chapter 621
Xiao Qian's heart tensed up, and he said hastily: "Send the order quickly, the whole army is ready! The watchtowers are in ambush, ready to pull up the iron chain."

"Yes!" The commander of the [-]th Battalion cupped his hands, but the scouts beside him looked flustered, "You can't pull, you can't pull the iron chain!"

"What nonsense are you talking about in front of Xiangye!" The commander gave him a dissatisfied look.

The scout was taken aback, and said submissively: "But... the Prime Minister can't"

Xiao Qian frowned, a humble little scout.The war is imminent, but they say "but" and "can't" to disturb the morale of the army!
"Bold! If you dare to talk nonsense to disturb the morale of the army, be careful that labor and management will cut off your dog's head." The commander of the [-]th Battalion said angrily, and kicked the scout hard. The scout was afraid and dared not speak again.

Xiao Qian nodded in satisfaction: "Hurry up and deliver the order, don't delay, don't expose!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the order was conveyed, and the soldiers hurried into action and began to ambush according to the previous arrangements.

The reeds on the north side of the river ambushed the [-] troops of the [-]th Battalion, and the [-] troops of the [-]th Battalion were ambushed in the woods about a hundred steps away from the river bank in the south. In the pagodas and houses, they are responsible for pulling up the iron chains that block the river when the boat approaches, and shooting the soldiers of Jingguo on the boat with bows and crossbows.

Once the boat in front was blocked and capsized, and the boat behind was blocked and stopped, the [-]th Battalion and the [-]th Battalion, a total of [-] people, were responsible for attacking from both sides of the bank, and rushed to the Jingguo people's boat with the prepared ladder to kill the enemy.

This is the arrangement in the plan. Xiao Qian is very confident in his arrangement. The people of Jingguo who are caught off guard will definitely be in chaos and have no intention of fighting.

After everyone was in ambush, although Xiao Qian was not young, he still quietly squatted in the house closest to the shore, staring at the distant water from the window. The iron chain was very heavy, and it took a certain amount of time to pull it up and fix it , so we must grasp the distance, so that the people of Jingguo can't stop the boat in time, and the soldiers can pull up the boat before it passes.

He just believes in himself and the timing has to be judged by him.

Fortunately, less than [-] steps downstream of Yangcun, there is a big river bend. Inside the bend is a birch forest, which blocks the view. It was impossible to stop the ship.

So after a long wait, when the bow of the Jingguo fleet appeared on the river bend, Xiao Qian decisively ordered the soldiers on the first floor of the sentry tower to pull up the iron chain.

Four soldiers on each side were in charge of one iron cable. They pulled up the iron cable hidden in the water by turning the winch like a well, and then tied the two ends to the wooden stakes by the river. The whole process took a long time.

Xiao Qian looked at them nervously, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the soldiers pull up the three iron cables across the river. He felt someone pulling his sleeve. He understood and followed the direction pointed by the commander, looked through the window, his pupils dilated instantly
In the long-flowing river, after turning a big bend, the Jingguo ship, which was not covered by the birch forest, finally revealed its true face. The tall mast pierced into the sky, and the huge hull almost filled the river. Many city walls are even higher, and the whole behemoth looks like a moving city on the water, and the sense of oppression is overwhelming, making it difficult to breathe.
In an instant, Xiao Qian was almost suffocated, and there was another huge monster behind that huge monster. Facing such a big guy, the tactics he formulated were like a joke.

Let it stop, how to stop.
If you want to board a ship to fight, how do you do it? In front of such a behemoth, getting on the deck is as difficult as a big siege battle!

He finally understood why the scout said he couldn't pull the chain, and hurriedly said: "Quickly let go of the chain! Let go!"

But it was already too late, the distance of two or three hundred steps was only a short while, and the long queue of huge monsters had already rushed in front of the sentry tower, Xiao Qian hurriedly ordered people to shoot arrows at the boats, but the sides of the first two boats protruded black. Huhu tube, densely packed.

Immediately, a loud noise like a thunderbolt from the blue covered his voice, and a terrifying whistling that he had never heard before kept screaming in his ears. For a moment, his ears were buzzing, and the sky was spinning, and he vaguely saw flesh and blood flying in the reeds. I saw the woods on the opposite bank being torn apart by an unknown force, and then tilted down, splashing earth and rocks.
Finally, his hearing slowly recovered, his brain began to function, and screams and cries could be heard everywhere in his ears.

Only then did he walk to the farmhouse door in a daze, watching those huge ships with dozens of flame mouths, emitting flames and blue smoke, and then the houses where the soldiers were hiding on the shore, like fragile sand cakes, collapsed smash.

The pulled up chain touched the front of the big ship, but it was like a mantis' arm being a car, pulled up from the foundation, and knocked down the sentry tower next to it with a crackling sound. If you can't get up, you probably won't be able to survive.

The two big ships were still roaring, and he saw the soldiers on the other side being torn to pieces suddenly in panic, saw the woods creaking and falling down, the walls of the houses were easily penetrated like thin paper, and the people in the ambush house Soldiers were buried directly.
Xiao Qian was at a loss, the world didn't seem to be the world he knew, and he didn't know what to do.

The commander of the [-]th Battalion beside him panicked and rode on the prepared horse behind the house to escape, but the horse under his crotch was torn apart in an instant, and he was only half left.
In just a short while, the world was like hell. On the subsequent ship, he finally saw the Jingguo people. They were neatly lined up on both sides of the bow deck, and the strange sticks in their hands were spitting out fire.

Every time the flames passed, a large number of Daliao soldiers fell by the case.

He was about to cry, he was approaching his sixtieth year, he had fought east and west, he had seen all kinds of worlds, and he had devoted himself to the Great Liao Kingdom for decades, this time he was like an immature child, at a loss.
Suddenly, a whistling sound exploded in his ears. Amidst the huge shattering sound, a wall behind him collapsed instantly, and some stones flew and hit him on the back. Xiao Qian fell to the ground instinctively. The front wall of the hut where he was hiding had been shattered, and the roof slowly tilted behind him, rumbling down.

He moved a few steps after rolling and crawling, but saw the ground was full of blood. He felt that something was wrong, and when he looked sideways, he realized that his left arm was empty, and blood was gushing out continuously. He gradually became frightened until he wailed. Crying, the piercing pain finally came up slowly, making him roll all over the floor.

The screams were still echoing in his ears, and he saw the fleeing Liao soldiers falling down one after another with hazy eyes. The horrible sound kept echoing in his ears. The body is even more vulnerable to that terrifying mysterious power, just like the wrath of the gods.
Obviously they set up an ambush, and obviously everything is perfect. But what happened now, he doesn't understand, and he doesn't know, but he can feel that life is being stripped from his body.

Slowly, his vision became more and more blurred, his whole body was cold, and he had no strength to struggle, so he lay on the rubble.
