Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1366 Jingping Marine Division Five

Dark as ink.

Miyagi is newly built, and it’s not that great, it’s a bit shabby. After all, Wu Guoxin was established not long ago. It has been in the atmosphere of war for many years, and all the money is used to expand the military. Sun Jian is not a person who seeks pleasure, so there is no So fastidious.

However, Miyagi is Miyagi after all, representing the court of Wu State, so it still has a certain appearance.

In the harem, a few young eunuchs walked quickly with lanterns in small steps, and the flickering lights illuminated the corridor very brightly.

Boom! ! !

The sudden sound of earth shaking and mountain shaking seemed to explode in the quiet night, making several young eunuchs unable to hold the lanterns tightly.

"what happened?"

"Where did the voice come from?"

In the dark night, voices of inquiries rang out.

In the inner hall of the harem, on the bed, Sun Jian felt a little unwell tonight. Just after falling asleep, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he fell into a nightmare. That nightmare seemed to have returned to the battle in Xiling in Jiangxia.

The Battle of Xiling in Jiangxia was the Waterloo of his whole life, and in the end he lost not only his good brother Zu Mao, but also most of the elite of the direct descendants.

Even he himself was in this battle, swung that life-saving knife, and destroyed the internal energy he had cultivated for decades, and his meridians went retrograde, causing serious sequelae.

His current body is even a little weaker than ordinary people, and he is particularly afraid of the cold, and the winter is even more difficult. Although it is almost early spring now, he still can't sleep well at night.

When he woke up from the nightmare, his whole body seemed to be drenched in sweat.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Wu Wan is Sun Jian's regular wife. She has a stable position in the harem, gentle and virtuous, and has won Sun Jian's trust. She is carefully holding a sweat towel and constantly wiping his sweat.

"What a nightmare!" Sun Jian sighed.

But at this moment, a sound like thunder exploded in his ears, he suddenly lifted off the quilt, and rushed out.

"Who is attacking the city?"

In the inner hall of the harem, there was a roar like a fierce tiger, which made the whole Jianye City restless.

........................

On Stone City.

"How about the casualties?"

"How about the lines of defense?"

Huang Gai's face was as gloomy as water, and under the light of the fire, his evil spirit was even more ferocious.

Even if it is a precautionary measure made in advance.

But in the end it was a mistake.

Catapults are large-scale siege equipment. Under normal circumstances, they can only exert their force on land, and they are difficult to transport. Sometimes they are very lacking weapons.

As a navy, how could they have such a thing?

No matter what he thought, Huang Gai couldn't figure it out.

"The left-wing city wall has been penetrated!"

"More than eighty of our sons died in battle, and more than three hundred were injured!"

Generals continued to respond to Huang Gai.

Huang Shan walked over quickly, arched his hands, and reported: "Father, I have checked it, and all the stone bullets that hit me are one hundred catties. This requires a large trebuchet to explode!"

"Our trebuchet is not broken?"

Huang Gai asked.

There are also trebuchets on the top of the city, but they are defensive, so the scale of throwing is not large, and the distance is not very far. Only when they are close can they be lethal.

"no!"

Huang Bing said: "Currently the defensive equipment in the city is well preserved, and they haven't encountered any damage!"

"General, the large fleet found on the river is rushing towards us. The leader is a large ship, and there are more than ten fighting ships in addition. The momentum is fierce!"

Hearing this, Huang Gai raised his head and looked ahead.

Sure enough, a large-scale enemy army appeared. It was obvious that they wanted to take advantage of this cover to break through the defense of Stone City and rush into Jianye City.

"Sun Hao!"

"exist!"

"Organize a counter-offensive, cover the entire river, whether it is a trebuchet, a bed crossbow, or an archer, prepare for me, as soon as it appears, we will fight without leaving any gaps, and we will never allow any warships to cross Stone City! "

"promise!"

"Yellow handle!"

"exist!"

"Order Dong Xi, all the warships of the fourth battalion are ready to guard the two entrances on the left and right sides. As long as there are warships coming in, hit me, hit me hard!"

"Yes!"

"In addition, order the soldiers and horses in the city to be ready to reinforce Stone City at any time!"

"Yes!"

After successive military orders, Huang Gai's heart became more secure. Stone City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although the Yangtze River estuary is supported by water, if the city is attacked, there are warships on the river. If they want to cross it, unless they have more than three times as many Soldiers approaching.

Although his intuition came true, he still had some weird feelings.

There is a puzzle in his heart.

That is, where did the enemy army on the Yangtze River Road appear suddenly under the stone city? It is unlikely that they came from Danyang.

There are news from Danyang every day, even if they can fly, how could they fly here in a while.

But doubts are doubts. Now that soldiers are approaching the city, he must deal with it well. Jianye City must not be chaotic. As long as the stone city can be stabilized, Jianye will be as stable as Mount Tai.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"From now on, keep an eye on the enemy's warships, and don't let any marks fall. I need to know exactly which side they belong to!"

Huang Gai said to a confidant adviser.

"General, isn't this the Ming army?" The counselor was a little puzzled.

"It must be the Ming army, but..."

Huang Gai narrowed his eyes: "Accordingly, they must not have come so fast from Chaisang. Now that they are suddenly approaching the city, I suspect that it is not the one that crossed Chaisang, but another one?"

"Another share?"

The counselor asked, "Where did you come from?"

"do not know!"

Huang Gai took a deep breath and shook his head. Logically, this is the only way to enter Jiangdong, but he always felt that this force did not come from Chaisang.

"rush!"

On the river, now that it has been exposed, every boat is holding a torch, and the flames are soaring into the sky. Behind them, there is a long-distance attack on the river with a combination of trebuchets to cover the main force. The main force rushed directly to the gate of Stone City.

As long as you cross this gate, you can enter the Jianye River. Whether it is the Qinhuai River or the moat, you can successfully break through Jianye's defense line.

"rush!"

"rush!"

The strength of the two battalions of the Jingping Marine Division and more than a dozen battleships joined together to form a large-scale assault formation, and charged inward.

boom!
A counterattack began on the stone city, and the stone bombs were knocked down one by one, some hit the warship, and some caused waves of waves on the water.

"Must rush over!"

Cai Mao stood on the deck, his eyes were as fierce as fire, and the waves on the water wet his whole body, but he didn't care at all, his resolute voice sounded: "Boys, as long as we get past this defense, we will Victory, no matter the cost, kill it!"

"Kill the past!"

"Kill the past!"

The morale of the Ming army was very high, and the warships advanced amidst the waves, and they did not even evade the outbreak of obstruction, they went forward bravely and charged directly.

"Fire the rocket!" On the top of the city, Huang Gai was expressionless, holding the handle of the first knife in his hand, and staring at the warship that was getting closer and closer below. The momentum was indeed fierce. It would be better if he didn't With the blocking method, today might still be able to give him a breakthrough.

"Already prepared!"

"Let go!" An order from the city, the arrows with flames fell like shooting stars in the dark night.

"A flaming arrow?"

Cai Mao's pupils widened, and he roared angrily: "Evade, each battalion and each warship, evade independently!"

"Turn the rudder!"

"Avoid to the left!"

"Get out of the way!"

Facing such a ferocious formation, the warships of the Ming army had no choice but to avoid them first, otherwise, they would be burnt to the ground with nothing.

The warships these days are mainly made of wood, and their waterproof and fireproof capabilities are insufficient. Water leakage is a common thing, and they will burn in case of fierce fire.

Fire attack is the greatest restraint against warships.

The situation on the entire battlefield began to change slightly. The Ming army's charge had been interrupted. At this time, the two sides may enter into a possible exchange of offensive and defensive positions.

Cai Hao's fists were tight, he couldn't give up halfway, and now it was time to test the ability of a commander, he took a deep breath, and ordered: "The first battalion will turn the rudder directly, and all warships will shift to the left, facing sideways, and Use the hull as a cover, face Stone City directly, and attack them, the second battalion obeys the order, we will cover you, you attack immediately, find a way to break through the sluice ahead!"

"Yes!"

The formation changed at once, and the second battalion was separated from the first battalion.

The first battalion followed the track of the building ship, facing the direction of Stone City, and erected the transverse surface of the hull, as if like a series of city walls, supporting the second battalion on the flank.

The lieutenant of the second battalion is a little young, but he is also a young man who has experienced many battles. His name is Chu Jun, and he has no words. He was originally a subordinate of Zhang Liao, and later Zhang Liao founded the Jingping Second Army, which was the predecessor of the Jingping Navy. He started to get in touch with water warfare and performed well in this area, so he was able to command the Second Battalion.

"kill!"

The warriors who were born on the grasslands of Bingzhou all have a kind of wild energy, and Chu Jun is the same. He took the lead and charged violently, and the warships under his command followed closely behind.

"A certain Dong Xi has been waiting here for a long time. Who is the thief who dares to attack the capital of our country of Wu? Report your name quickly!"

The stone city sluice was broken open, but the second battalion was not able to rush in, because a fleet rushed out from it, and the leader was also Jiangdong fierce general, known as Dong Xi in history.

"Don't care about them, crash in!"

Chu Jun is a bold man. On the battlefield, he has only one momentum, that is fierce: "The whole battalion is ready to fight, kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

One after another, the two-toothed battleships began to rush up.

"Who is afraid of whom!"

Dong Xi sneered, he had warships under his command, but a large ship was the main one, even if they collided, he was not afraid of these Ming warships.

Boom boom boom! ! ! !

Directly enter the string battle after the impact, which is equivalent to hand-to-hand combat.

The fight was brutal.

....................................

"Mistake!" Huang Gai on the top of the wall gritted his teeth and said three words.

The reason why he thought he had made a mistake was because he had made a mistake in predicting the enemy's combat power. The Ming army's warship was playing a superb cover, but it tore apart the defense line of Stone City.

But as long as he dispatched the main force of the first battalion to come up, the left and right sides formed a pincer attack, and in the condescending defense, it was impossible for them to let them cross this line.

Now we can only see if Dong Xi's fourth battalion can stop the warships of the Ming army. If it is broken through, then Jianye City will really be reduced to a joke.

Then at this moment, Cai Mao, who was standing on the deck of the building ship on the river, saw the warship blocking the Wu army in front of him, and at the same time spit out these three words: "Mistake!"

He should have thought about it a long time ago, whether it is a surprise attack or a frontal attack, since the battle of Chaisang has been reported, it is inevitable that they will have a certain degree of defense against Jianye City.

And at this time, he shouldn't ignore the blocking from the river.

He had put all his focus on the stone city, which was a very fatal mistake. Once the enemy had sufficient support, they might have been able to counterattack him directly, and even use the stone city as a lure to kill him all at once.

There were errors in their predictions for both sides, which led to a somewhat stalemate. The Ming army could not break through the defense of Stone City, and Stone City obviously suffered.

"Order Dong Xi, hold on, and I'll dispatch reinforcements to him at dawn!" Huang Gai is a veteran general who is not lacking in bravery, but can be old and resourceful. At this time, he can't have the slightest doubt , We must firmly believe that victory is still there.

"promise!"

"Yellow handle!"

"exist!"

"Go back to the city and report the battle situation to the king, and prepare to dispatch the main force of the two battalions on the north side of Stone City!"

"promise!"

Huang Bing took his father's military order and returned to Jianye City with more than ten personal guards.

But the battle on the river was still fierce.

When a fierce general meets a fierce general, he can only fight desperately, and both sides will suffer.

Now general Dong Xi of the Wu army and general Chu Jun of the Ming army are in this situation.

"No chance!"

Cai Mao's reaction was not slow. He knew that as long as the time was delayed, they could dispatch troops to come up at any time due to the worry of the Wu army's terrain, and they would be the ones who would suffer.

The raid was a failure.

No one expected that Wu Jun's defense would be so impeccable.

However, the failure of the raid was not the result of the defeat of this battle, but a direct start of the offensive and defensive battle of Jianye City. This was just the beginning, and definitely not the end.

"Order the [-]rd and [-]th Battalion to abandon the attack and prepare to take us out of Stone City!"

Cai Mao is a calm and steady person. Although the surprise attack has failed, any attack at this time is meaningless. If they can't break through the defense of Stone City, they can't break in.

Just get out first.

"withdraw!"

After the military order was issued, the warships of the second battalion began to slowly move back: "That General Wu, it's alright, someone is Chu Jun, if you have the ability, chase it out, I will cut off your head and hang it on a certain warship!"

"Next time, let's see who cuts off whose head!"

Dong Xi is fierce, not reckless, how dare he chase at this time, the defense of Stone City is solid, but he is only the main force of a battalion in the end, and he dare not go straight to kill.

So facing the withdrawal of the Ming army and the provocation of the enemy general, he just sneered and was not impulsive.
