Call of the Deer

Chapter 517 Forming an Army in Seven Days, Yingbu Shows His Power

In the east of Cangzhou, on the Tongtian Bridge, the fighting was overwhelming. The Cangzhou and Yongzhou coalition forces bravely blocked the bridge, preventing the Beiming army from crossing the thunder pool.

Especially yesterday, the Cangzhou army was stubborn, unafraid of death, and refused to give up an inch of ground. They had already killed the bridge;

Unexpectedly, the Cangzhou Army cut off the Tongtian Bridge directly after smashing the cans. Hundreds of Beiming Army fell into the Tongtian River, dying without a place to die.

Bai Qi led the army to camp on the east bank of Tongtian Bridge. Seeing a section of the road ahead, he was very sad and couldn't think of a better way for a while.

"Kong Ming, as the only gateway between Yongzhou and Cangzhou, this Tongtian Bridge is very important to our army, but the Cangzhou army is so determined to do such an extreme act of destroying the bridge, it is really despicable."

In the seven consecutive days of attack, the Beiming army lost nearly ten thousand troops, but without any results, Bai Qi was extremely angry in his heart.

With a wry smile, Bai Qi sat aside, looking at the map with a trace of sadness on his face.

"Don't worry, Commander, Kongming has a strategy to defeat the enemy. I watched the sky last night and found that there will be an east wind blowing seven days later. At that time, our army can take advantage of the east wind to cross the river by water."

Zhuge Liang laughed lightly, and then expressed his thoughts. When Bai Qi heard the words, his eyes lit up, and then a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

"Crossing the river by water is a good way, but there are generals like Shi Lang who are good at water in the enemy army. If we attack from the opposite bank, our army may lose sight of the other."

Bai Qi expressed his concerns, because there are not many generals in the Beiming army who are good at water.

"Hehe, since that's the case, then I'll introduce a general of the navy to the governor, so that he can cross the Tongtian River with ease."

Zhuge Liang chuckled and said with confidence.

"Oh, I don't know who greeted him, but I also asked Kong Ming for a recommendation, as if I owed Kong Ming a favor!"

Bai Qi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly stood up to ask Zhuge Liang for advice.

"Hehe, this person is far away in the sky and close in front of us, but the governor didn't notice it!"

Zhuge Liang tidied up his appearance calmly, waved the Suzaku feather fan, stood up and said.

"Far in the sky, close in front of your eyes? Could it be that Kong Ming was talking about himself?"

Bai Qi obviously misunderstood Zhuge Liang's meaning, his eyes flickered with surprise, and he re-examined Zhuge Liang.

"Uh, the governor was joking. I'm a literati. How could I be a navy general? I'm talking about someone else, but this person is in the army now."

Zhuge Liang was astonished, and then said with a wry smile.

"Oh, please don't be tricked by Kong Ming, come here directly, Bai is really in a hurry."

Seeing Zhuge Liang's unfathomable and tricky face, Bai Qi wished he could punch him, and said with a wry smile.

"This person is none other than General Yingbo!"

"Yingbo?"

Bai Qi was obviously shocked when he heard the words. The grain and grass materials for the Asian Games that Yingbu had come from Huangzhou two days ago, he didn't pay attention to this person for a while.

"Kong Ming's words are serious? Is this Yingbo really capable of a navy? This matter is of great importance, so don't joke about it!"

When Bai Qi heard the words, he reconfirmed in a very solemn tone.

"It's absolutely true, the lord personally told us to make good use of this person!"

Zhuge Liang spoke with certainty and certainty, and when he said Bei Minghao's words, he seemed even more solemn.

"What did my lord say? Then you can't go wrong!"

When Bai Qi heard that Bei Minghao said it, he immediately believed it, and immediately sent someone to invite Yingbu to come.
After a while, Yingbo came in, Bai Qi didn't talk nonsense, talked about the current predicament, and asked Yingbo if he could lead the army to cross the river by water.

Seeing that Bai Qi was so solemn, Ying Bu hesitated a little, and immediately agreed to the matter with certainty;
Then he went down to practice the water army, planning to form an army in seven days, cross the Tianhe River, and attack Cangzhou.

In the next seven days, all the generals of the Beiming Army cooperated with Yingbu to practice the water army wantonly in preparation for crossing the river;
Sure enough, Yingbo lived up to his entrustment, and in just seven days, he basically trained the Beiming army to become familiar with water warfare.

On the seventh day, the east roared. Thousands of sailboats were displayed on the east bank of the Tongtian River.

This time, Yingbu was in full command of the Beiming Army, and the other generals cooperated. Tens of thousands of Beiming Army united to attack the west bank of Tongtian River.

The warships of the Beiming Army are composed of Louchuan, Mengchong, Fighting Ships, Bridge Ships, and Ge Ships, one boat after another, layer after layer, in a continuous line.

And the Cangyong Allied Forces on the west bank also noticed the news that the Beiming Army crossed the river, and all of them stood in formation, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

The west bank allied forces, led by Shi Lang, discussed how to resist the fierce attack of the Northern Underworld Army.

"General Shi Lang, I heard that the Northern Dark Army is not good at water. We can use this as a breakthrough to defeat the Northern Dark Army and let the Northern Dark Army die in the Tongtian River."

Dong Cheng's brother-in-law Niu Fu asked, with the recent successive battles, the generals of the Cang Yong coalition army have withered, and now there are only two or three love cats and kittens left.

"General Dong, this battle is of great importance, and we must not be careless. The reason why we have never heard that the Northern Underworld Army is good at water is mainly because the Northern Underworld Army has fought repeatedly and has not encountered water battles, and it is not because there are no navy generals!"

Hou Junji went south this time to serve as the commander of the coalition army on the west bank of Cangzhou. Facing the arrival of the Northern Underworld Army, his expression was also very solemn.

"General Shi Lang, you just have to let go of your hands and feet to command this battle, and Hou will definitely do his best to cooperate with you!"

Hou Junji is not a self-willed general, so naturally he can distinguish the serious from the serious.

"Since the general thinks highly of Shi Lang, then Shi Lang must do his best to resist the Northern Underworld Army!"

Shi Lang bowed his hands to Hou Junji solemnly, and then his expression became very solemn.

Soon, the Beiming army fleet crossed the river and came to kill them. From a distance, they were overwhelming and countless, which made people feel their scalps explode.

"Soldiers, spread out the word, the archers are ready"

"Sailors, wait until the Northern Dark Army ship arrives, immediately cut the ship, and don't let the Northern Dark Army ship approach."

According to Shi Lang's experience in water warfare, he issued military orders in an orderly manner, laying out the inner three floors and the outer three floors of thousands of ships;

The bows and arrows of the Cangyong Allied Army tied cloth strips to their bows and arrows, poured kerosene on them, and planned to launch rockets.

As the ships of the Beiming Army were about one mile away from the ships of the Cang Yong Alliance Army, Shi Lang gave the order to attack.

"Archers are ready, [-] degrees ahead, shoot me an arrow!"

Because the east wind is strong, if the angle of the bow and arrow is too large, it will affect the power of the bow and arrow. Shi Lang can only make it at a thirty degree angle.

On the other side, the sailors of the Cangyong coalition army entered the water one after another, like water snakes, and quickly swam towards the Beiming army ship, intending to scuttle the ship.

As for the Beiming army, Yingbo looked solemnly, looking at the attack from the other side, thinking that there was a navy general there, otherwise it would never have been so orderly.

"General, enemy sailors are spotted swimming towards our ship."

"Sure enough, it's here, pass my order, the catapult is ready, give me a fierce bombardment of the opposite ship, and hit the opposite bank"

"Send me the order to let the archers and bed crossbowmen fire rockets"

"Send me the order to prepare the Tianji Crossbow"

"Let the sailors go into the water and stop the enemy from scuttling the ship"

Although Yingbu only trained for seven days, he still achieved some results. Although it is not said that sailors can chisel enemy ships, they are still capable of entanglement.

The battle was getting more and more intense, and apart from a dozen scattered sunken ships, the other ships of the Beiming Army remained majestic and motionless, lying across the river, constantly spitting out flying stones.

But Shi Lang's face darkened at this time, he knew that his side had made a mistake in his prediction, the enemy had a navy general, and he was an extremely capable navy general.
