Chapter 1276 First Victory
Throwing spears were originally used by cavalry on horseback, and knights could throw heavy spears without much effort.

The spear thrown in this way not only has the strong arm strength of the knight, but also has the powerful inertia of the horse when it is galloping. It can easily nail the enemy in heavy armor to the ground, and even... directly penetrate the heavy shield !
Qiu Lin Mingqi glanced at Cheng Yaojin who was not far away, then turned around and hissed: "The second column, prepare to throw the spear!"

"what!"

The spearmen of the second column roared together, holding their spears in their hands, as soon as the Shu army headed across the water, Qiu Lin Mingqi would give the order to throw the spears!

The tide was surging, and when the Shu army first appeared, their bodies were still out of their control. The powerful waves pushed these Shu warriors as easily as the vortex of a small ditch rolling leaves.

In just a few breaths, Qiu Lin Mingqi saw a mass of black human heads emerging from the water!

"It's this time!" Qiu Lin Mingqi was heartbroken, and roared in his mouth: "Throw the spear!"

"Throw-"

Accompanied by a long and dull shout, the silver spears flew away in pieces, and under the sunlight, it seemed like a piece of lightning flew up, whistling and piercing through the air.

Those Shu troops who just showed their heads and were about to rush to the beach were instantly pierced by the spears that fell from the sky...

The screams echoed on the coast, and the sea water was scarlet in less than a cup of tea!
"what is that!"

Suddenly, someone on the assault boat saw patches of heavy rain appearing in the diving area, revealing a ferocious dorsal fin.

"It's a shark!"

"My God! It's a shark!"

Someone shouted loudly under the heavy shield.

"Haha..." When Cheng Yaojin was about to turn away, he suddenly heard a burst of happy laughter behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Wang Mang staring at the chaotic soldiers of the Shu army in the shallow sea area.

"My lord!" Cheng Yaojin cupped his hands.

Wang Mang smiled and said: "There is no need to be polite, this time the Shu army is stealing chickens and not losing money! Too many people died in the shallow sea area, and the smell of blood attracted sharks in the sea. This time, as long as someone from the Shu army dares to come If you take off your armor and enter the water, you will definitely become a shark's ration."

"Why can't the war drum scare away these sharks?" Cheng Yaojin was a little confused.

Wang Mang nodded slightly, pointed at the corpses gradually floating up with the waves, and asked, "According to the general, how many people died?"

"I'm afraid it's already over a thousand." Cheng Yaojin said roughly.

"That's it." Wang Mang nodded and said, "Sharks are the most bloodthirsty monsters in the sea; if they are encountered by boats on weekdays, they can be frightened away with war drums, but now the Shu army has been nailed to death countless times by war spears, and the smell of blood The density is uncountable, the shark is already mad, how can it be scared away by the drums?"

Cheng Yaojin was shocked: "Your Excellency is right. Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it won't take long for the vanguard of the Shu Kingdom to retreat."

"That's not necessarily true." Wang Mang seemed to have noticed something was wrong. He pointed to the fleet in the distance and said, "Judging from the size of this fleet, it must not be the arrival of a large army of the Shu army; It is the vanguard of the army, and the generals of this vanguard must be eager to make contributions, so they will ignore all attacks just now."

"Oh?" Cheng Yaojin frowned, "According to my lordship, if the large army from the Kingdom of Shu arrives, how will they attack?"

"Across the battleship, use a trebuchet to throw rolling stones to kill the archers on the beach of our army, and then quickly follow up in the charge, you can break the army and land."

Looking at Wang Mang with a calm face, Cheng Yaojin said in surprise: "My lord said it so easily, I'm afraid I already have a strategy to defend against the enemy in my heart?"

"Just wait and see." Wang Mang didn't say much, just smiled mysteriously, pointed at the flagship of the Shu army in the distance and said: "Look, general, the Shu army has retreated!"

Cheng Yaojin set up the awning to watch, and he really saw the Shu army retreating, and all the assault boats on the sea also retreated.

"Win!"

Qiu Lin Mingqi stood on the platform, raised his saber and shouted loudly.

After hearing Qiu Lin Mingqi's voice, the rest of the warriors got up and shouted:
"Win!"

"Win!"

"Win!"

After shouting three times in a row, it stopped.

Wang Mang's face was still very calm, but he just said: "This is the first battle. I thought it would be a bloody battle. I didn't expect the pioneers of the Shu Kingdom to rush forward. We counted the time for this battle. It is a bit cheap. Pass it down to reward the three armies, and then prepare to meet More bloody battles."

This - just the beginning!
Wang Mang returned to the county guard's mansion. After He Sheng and Meng Hu heard this, Meng Hu couldn't help asking: "My lord, it's not that my subordinates talk too much, but I'm really curious; you said that if the Shu army really Using the method you mentioned to storm the beach, how should we defend?"

Meng Hu just came here to rescue soldiers from Wo County. Zheng He had already prepared a large army to come to rescue Yizhou County in a few days; he returned to Yizhou County first and reported the situation to Wang Mang and others.

Wang Mang smiled lightly: "It depends on whether Meng Qianhu has ever heard such a sentence."

"What?" Meng Hu asked without thinking.

Wang Mang said sternly: "There is an old saying: the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road! I will lead the army to conquer the four directions of His Majesty the Emperor, and crusade against the ministers. Naturally, it is not blindly relying on resourcefulness to win, but most of the time, it is an indomitable spirit!"

After all, Wang Mang smiled lightly and said, "I heard that Meng Qianhu was also born in Jianghu Caomang in the early years, so I should have heard the saying that the sword of death does not retreat."

"My Daqin warriors roamed the battlefield and never took half a step back. This is the spirit that I rely on. The use of Daqin can be killed in battle, but no one dares to humiliate. That's why."

Meng Hu only felt that after listening to Wang Mang's words, he felt the blood in his heart welling up, almost boiling, and he cupped his hands and said: "My lord taught me, Meng Hu will be grateful in this life!"

"It's serious, it's serious..." Wang Mang smiled lightly, picked up his teacup and took a sip.

At this moment, a guard came in, cupped his hands to Meng Hu and said, "Lord Qianhu, someone is looking for you."

Meng Hu got up and apologized, and retreated, only to see an excited young man.

"Brother, we won the battle, and I'm at the forefront!" Meng Zhou, as one of the commanders of the arrow formation, stood in the ankle-deep sea water to direct the arrow formation.

The most important thing is that this is his first time on the battlefield. Even now that he has won, he still feels that the blood all over his body is burning, releasing endless power.

Meng Hu waved his hand and said, "Talk while walking."

Immediately, the two brothers got on the horse: "Brother Wei joined the Jinyiwei from the army back then. I didn't expect you to also be the commander. This is something worth celebrating."

"I was only promoted three days ago." Meng Zhou said with a smile, "When Master Wang Mang was patrolling the army, the former commander-in-chief issued an order to be slack, so he promoted me."

Meng Hu nodded: "I still don't know about this matter, and our family has inherited Lord Wang's favor. This time, we did a good job. If anyone says you are a coward in the future, you will trample on his balls." Broken!"
