In the overwhelming shadow of sails, there were dozens of warships. When they were still twenty feet away from the south shore, there was a sudden sound of gongs, and the ships quickly turned and swung toward the shore.
Seeing this strange behavior, the Yuan soldiers piled up on the shore were stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter, thinking that the sailors who were operating the ship had lost their heads.
Amid their laughter, the twelve ships lined up in a row, and after closing the distance by nearly ten feet, the gong sounded again.
Suddenly, a large number of red dots flew out from the ship, forming a fire net in the air and flying high over the Yuan army on the shore.
The fire net flew over thirty feet and plunged downward.
This place is where Yuan soldiers are concentrated, and most of the rockets hit people after they fell.
When the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty who were hit by arrows screamed in agony, there was a slight "click", "bang" and "bang" sound one after another, and then a "bang" sound ignited a fire.
The fire grew stronger instantly, and the surrounding Yuan soldiers fled one after another. The person who was hit by the arrow was miserable. His whole body was on fire, but he was not dead for a while. He screamed and struggled to roll on the spot. However, the flame was carefully crafted by the Liehuo Banner. You can roll over at any time.
It cannot be extinguished.
When some clever Yuan soldiers saw that the rolling posture was not easy to use, they immediately thought of water and rushed towards the front army like a wolf and a pig.
There was a great chaos among the central and front troops of the Yuan army.
Because most of the first batch of rockets hit people, and because the people hit by the arrows were scattered, the Ming army's isolation zone was not successful.
The watchman at the mast quickly struck the gong in his hand again.
The second batch of rockets was fired.
At this time, many of the warships behind were already leaning against the shore. Some of the people on the boats were shooting at the Yuan soldiers on the shore, and some of the highly skilled martial artists were holding shields in one hand and charging toward the Yuan soldiers in front with their swords in the other.
Li Jiang's boat also arrived. He said hello, drew his swords and jumped off the bow first.
The Yuan soldiers blocking the shore were now being attacked from both sides. There were Ming troops in front of them and Huo people behind them. It was extremely chaotic.
Li Jiang and his suicide squad took this opportunity to find a weak spot and inserted themselves into it.
The Yuan army's trebuchet was three hundred meters away from the shore, and Li Jiang had already taken a good look at it when he came.
The 50 members of the death squad formed a spear formation, with Li Jiang acting as the arrow.
This was what he requested on his own initiative. He had the skill to defend and the double sword to attack, so he was invincible and fought his way through the Yuan soldiers.
When the death squads fell into a sea of ​​Yuan soldiers, Agni Fire Flag finally lived up to its expectations and used three rounds of rockets to create an isolation fire zone.
At this time, the death squads had just rushed through the fire zone, but Li Jiang was extremely anxious.
The opening of the isolation zone means that the Yuan army is divided. As long as the command of the Yuan army is not stupid, they will definitely require the trebuchets to focus fire to cover the fire circle. Therefore, there is not much time left for the death squads, and the trebuchets must be destroyed quickly.
Otherwise, the more than 4,000 people who came ashore would have been completely destroyed.
Li Jiang swung his sword and chopped down the four people standing in front of him, turned around and shouted: "Brothers, disperse, don't get entangled on the road, use your body to attack quickly!"
What he got in response was a cry of "ouch".
Onward, onward, onward!
Li Jiang could no longer remember how many times he had swung his sword and cut down many people. His whole body felt like it was made of blood and he had become a red man.
When he finally felt that the sword was empty, he saw the trebuchet placed on a hillside.
The trebuchets were already being launched. At the bottom of the mountain, Li Jiang could only see high piles of stones placed under each trebuchet and human heads passing back and forth.
Li Jiang's eyes were about to burst. The sound of a stone meant the lives of several Ming soldiers, so he accelerated his speed, his true energy surged under his feet, and he jumped up.
The Yuan soldiers' trebuchets must have been guarded, and a canopy of crossbow arrows were fired at Li Jiang.
Li Jiang displayed his swords and returned them as they were.
With this leap, he rushed directly to the top of the mountain more than ten meters away, and the landing point was right next to a trebuchet. Before he could land, Li Jiang roared in mid-air like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and then the sword flashed, "Bang"
With a loud bang, the trebuchet collapsed immediately.
When the person crushed by the trebuchet collapsed screamed, Li Jiang had already rushed to the side of the other one.
When he cut down the third body, Wei Yixiao finally arrived. When Wei Yixiao destroyed two bodies, the death squads from behind also appeared one after another, but there were much fewer, with less than forty people.
But these forty people had the momentum of four hundred people. After all, they were all martial arts masters and were much stronger than the technical arms.
Within ten minutes, forty people worked together to kill the defenders and operators on the hill.
The Yuan army commander also discovered something was wrong on the hill and quickly sent reinforcements.
Seeing this, Li Jiang shouted: "Execute the second plan."
The members of the death squad agreed one after another and each took a cloth bag from their waists, then opened the bag and took out a wine bottle inside.
Of course, they were not thirsty for wine to be emboldened. The wine bottles also contained fire oil purified from the Fire Flag.
After everyone held it in their hands, Li Jiang shouted: "Throw it away, and then you quickly retreat."
Everyone shouted "Commander, be careful" and immediately threw out the porcelain bottles in their hands.
"Bat King, you go too, I'll light the fire." Li Jiang took back his dagger and took out a fire folder from his arms.
Wei Yixiao nodded, said, "I'll have a celebratory drink when you come back," and then turned back and went down the mountain.
After Li Jiang ran some distance down the mountain, he blew on the fire and threw it up with all his strength.
Ten seconds later, a "whirring" sound came from Li Jiang's ears, and half a minute later, a "cracking" sound began.
Along with the sound of fire, thick black smoke also billowed into the air.
Li Jiang knew that the more than two hundred catapults on the hillside were finished, so he wiped himself away and left.
In the battle of Feng Lingdu, thanks to the fire attack of the Fiery Flag and the destruction of the trebuchet by the death squads, coupled with the brave soldiers who were not afraid of death and fought bravely to kill the enemy, they finally won a great victory at the end of Shenshi.
At a very small cost, the Ming army suffered only more than 2,000 casualties and defeated the 100,000 Yuan army.
After this battle, the Ming army did not stop and pursued the defeated troops straight to Luoyang.
Ten days later, troops surrounded Luoyang.
The walls of Luoyang City are high and thick, and the defenders plus the defeated army numbered 50,000 to 60,000, making it extremely difficult to conquer.
The Ming and Yuan armies fought dozens of brutal siege battles here. But the commander of the Yuan army defending the city was an expert. He not only arranged the defenders on the city wall in an orderly manner, but also arranged the Mingjiao death squads in a targeted manner.
.
He actually ordered people to block the four gates with stones, causing Li Jiang to lead the death squads to attack several times before returning without success, and he also lost more than a dozen masters.
In the end, we had to rely on high technology. The Houtu Army and the Yuan Army fought with wits and courage, digging tunnels to block the tunnels, and digging tunnels to flood the tunnels.
After going back and forth for more than half a month, the Houtu Army finally dug a tunnel directly to the city. The Fire Army installed slag and successfully blew up a section of the city wall that night. The Ming Army rushed in and conquered Luoyang.
After capturing Luoyang, Li Jiang and Wei Yixiao had to go to Songshan first, and Fan Yaolai had to support the rest of the work alone. He had to guard against the Yuan soldiers coming from Kaifeng, so Li Jiang only took away a small part of the Ming army, about 10,000 people.
