Although the injuries on Fu An's face had been treated, there were still some traces left. After being questioned by other students, Fu An told what happened to Dou An. ? ???? ?
Zeng Jian patted Ding Kui on the shoulder and said: "Although I am the youngest among us, my martial arts is the strongest among us. I gathered my fighting spirit a few months before you did, and now you want me to ride a horse to fight with you."
In a fight with Dou An, you probably won't be able to beat him. It's really admirable that you can beat him to the point where he admits defeat."
"Accident, this is purely an accident. Sister Shuiyu, why are you so unhappy all day long?" Ding Kui noticed something was wrong with Shuiyu.
Usually when everyone is chatting together, Shuiyu will join in happily.
"My father personally led the troops on the expedition." Shuiyu said quietly.
Shuiyu's father was Shui Song, the lord of Xiadong Town. In order for his daughter to inherit the title and recruit a suitable son-in-law, he personally took his bodyguard to participate in the king's recruitment.
In early April of the 4868th year of the Tongli calendar, local armies from various counties in Zhongwangzhou gathered in the county seat and headed directly to Yangyuanzhou.
A large camp has been set up outside Qingshui County in Yangyuan Prefecture, and two local legions from Zhongwang Prefecture are going to gather here.
By mid-June, all 200,000 members of the First Recruitment Army Corps and the Second Recruitment Army Corps were assembled at the Qingshui County camp.
The commander of the first legion is Yang Hai from the Yang family, and the commander of the second leg is Long Shun from the Long family.
The five great dukes in Zhongwangzhou all occupied a county. Except for the Yang family, which sent 20,000 people, the other four families all sent a rated number of 11,000 people.
According to the Yang family, in order to support the decision of the elders of the Senate, they helped some small nobles in difficulty send troops.
The 17th and 18th legions of the regular army of the Shaodian Kingdom also rushed to Hexi Prefecture in mid-June and assembled at the original headquarters of the Third Army Corps stationed in Hexi Prefecture. The third legion was deployed on the west bank of the Tongyuan River in Hexi Prefecture.
The Magician Association sent the forbidden mage Qu Yi to bring five tower-opening mages and twenty staff-wielding mages, and followed the army staff sent by the General Staff Department to the Qingshui County camp.
The army staff officer handed over the order from the commander-in-chief Chu Kui to Yang Hai. Yang Hai immediately held a pre-war meeting. All generals above the division commander of the first, middle and second regiments participated in the meeting.
Something unexpected happened to Shaodian State. Qi State and Cao State launched an attack on Shaodian State together.
Cao State stormed the Shuanglong City Water Village, while Qi State attacked the Xijiang Water Village.
The Xijiang River is a branch of the Tongyuan River and flows directly into the West Sea in the west, dividing the Shaodian Kingdom into northern and southern halves. Hexi Prefecture and Yangyuan Prefecture are bounded by the Xijiang River.
Xijiang Water Village is just south of the mouth of the Tongyuan River flowing into the Xijiang River, and it belongs to the boundary of Yangyuan Prefecture.
The Thirteenth Army Corps stationed in Yangyuan Prefecture had just moved to the vicinity of Xijiang Water Village, preparing to jointly recruit the Second Army Corps to launch a feint attack on Cao State. They happened to encounter a sneak attack by Qi State warships, and the two sides fought fiercely on the river.
It just so happens that the old king of Qi State, Qi Tong, died at the beginning of the year, and his son Qi Shao succeeded to the throne.
Qi Shao's uncle Qi Shuang had some complaints about his nephew who succeeded him. Qi Shuang was the commander-in-chief of the Commander-in-Chief's Office and controlled the power of the military.
Qi Shao's teacher Wu Yi came up with an idea. Qi Shuang's son Qi was killed by Jiang Tong's grandson Jiang Qi. Qi Shuang must have hated Shaodian State, so he asked Qi Shao to send an envoy to contact Cao State and launch an attack on Shaodian State together.
The nobles of Cao State were frightened by being killed by Zhe Sheng, which also aroused great anger. Knowing that Qi State was going to unite with Cao State to attack Shaodian State, they expressed their support one after another. Cao Guoping and Donghou Fang Ba wrote a letter in blood asking for orders to go to war, swearing
Want to avenge my son.
Yao Mang also took the opportunity to say that the Shaodian army across the border from Cao State was unusually mobilized, and encouraged King Cao Qi to agree to join forces with Qi State to fight.
Under internal and external pressure, Cao Qi agreed to the request of the Qi envoy and made an appointment to launch a sneak attack on Shaodian together.
With Cao Guo's reply that he agreed to go to war, Qi Shao asked Qi Shuang to lead two legions to attack Shaodian.
In order to avenge his son and consolidate his position in the army, Qi Shuang readily accepted the order. He led his trusted third legion to join the second legion stationed in Jiangdong Prefecture to attack the Xijiang Water Village. He also sent a local legion to rush to Jiangdong Prefecture to fill the gap.
Second Army's defensive line.
Shaodian State, Qi State and Cao State did not expect that the other party had assembled a large number of troops on the other side of the Tongyuan River.
Ten legions of the Three Kingdoms, with more than a million men, launched a battle on both sides of the Tongyuan River.
The warships of the Qi State left Jiangdong Prefecture in the middle of the night and arrived on the river opposite the Xijiang Water Village at dawn. The vanguard troops launched an attack under the order of Yingtai, the commander of the Second Army Corps. More than thirty large warships released fire ships at the same time.
Rush to the gate of Xijiang Water Village.
Xijiang Water Village usually has twenty large and fifty medium-sized warships, but now it has gathered sixty large and one hundred medium-sized warships, as well as one hundred Xijiang Navy patrol boats.
Large warships in this world can carry two hundred soldiers, medium warships can carry one hundred soldiers, and patrol ships can carry fifty soldiers.
When the sentries at the water village spotted the enemy ships on the river, they immediately sounded the alarm and the gate of the water village was pulled up. The trebuchets on the gun towers on both sides of the gate fired stone bombs to attack the fireships rushing towards the gate.
According to the order of the General Staff, the Xijiang Navy dispatched five brigades of patrol boats, intending to survey the water surface of the Tongyuan River and drive away the fishing boats and small boats of Qi and Cao.
Fan Yuzhen belongs to the 13th Brigade of the Second Division of the Xijiang Navy. She started as a soldier and became the current captain. She has been patrolling the Xijiang River for more than ten years.
The first person in charge of patrol today was Fan Yuzhen's 13th Brigade. The twenty patrol boats had just untied their moorings when they heard the siren.
The signal from the flag tower of Shuizhai was to attack quickly. Fan Yuzhen led twenty patrol boats and rushed towards the gate of Shuizhai that was being slowly opened.
Just after rushing out of the water village, more than thirty fireships rushed towards them in a fan shape. Fan Yuzhen shouted to his men: "We will deal with the ten fireships in the middle, and the ones on the left and right will be handed over to the 11th and 12th brigades behind. The first
I will deal with one fire ship, and the other two will fight one against the other, and use hook poles to drag the enemy ships aside."
Fan Yuzhen was a mid-term warrior in her thirties and was good at wielding a long axe.
She stood on the bow of the ship holding an ax in one hand, looking at the approaching Qi State fireship, raising her hand high and shouting: "The helmsman turns two oars to the right, the hook hand goes to the port side, remember to drop the anchor first; the archers are ready, shoot freely, there are
I'll kill the one who comes out first; the others are guarding the side, there are only ten of them, if they dive into the water and run away, you go and chase them."
The patrol boat of the Xijiang Navy was more than one meter taller than the fire ship. When the bows of the two ships missed each other, Fan Yuzhen threw an iron anchor from the ship and smashed through the deck of the fire ship. Four or five hooks also caught the fire ship.
.
To Fan Yuzhen's expectation, the enemy troops on the fireboat did not jump into the water to escape, but jumped out of the cabin and wielded their swords to cut off the hook pole.
Seeing someone coming out of the fire ship, the ten archers on the patrol ship opened their bows and started shooting. However, two big men were very brave and cut off two hook poles despite the arrows.
Fan Yuzhen was furious, jumped onto the fire ship, and struck the nearest big man with the long ax in his hand. The big man raised his knife horizontally and wanted to hold Fan Yuzhen's long axe, but Fan Yuzhen's ax was so powerful that he could not hold it at all.
He couldn't hold it back and smashed the big man's head into his neck.
At this time, three or four of the prisoners on death row on the fireboat had been shot over. Another man in sackcloth became timid when he saw Fan Yuzhen's bravery. He slashed away two arrows with his knife, and then plunged into the water. Seeing this, the other prisoners on death row also
Jumping into the Tongyuan River, no one lit the ignition on the fire boat.
Without Fan Yuzhen's orders, a small group of navy troops also jumped off the patrol boat.
Fan Yuzhen jumped back into the patrol boat and shouted: "Move to the right and clear the river quickly, the big boat behind is about to come out!"
One-third of Qi's first wave of fireships were sunk by trebuchets, and the rest were hooked by patrol boats. Only less than ten patrol boats were burned.
Xijiang Water Village only has one division, and those on the patrol boat are still members of the Xijiang Navy.
The commander of the water village, Yu Zhong, found that the number of enemy troops that had come to attack him was equal to his own. He immediately sent out the letter eagle and asked the Thirteenth Army to garrison the water village immediately. He personally led everyone in the water village to board fifty large warships and sailed out of the Tongyuan River.
Desperately searching for Qi's warships.
The vanguard of Qi State has 14,000 men, while Shaodian State's Xijiang Water Village has less than 10,000 men. In addition, the 5,000 men of Xijiang Navy's small warships are exactly the same as Qi State.
Yu Zhong took advantage of his large number of large warships and arrogantly rushed towards Qi State's flagship, the large warship where Yingtai was.
Yingtai did not expect that there were so many large warships in Xijiang Water Village. He immediately ordered the flagship to retreat and let the medium-sized warships surround it to form a circular formation. The other large warships moved to the two wings and prepared to use the medium-sized warships to drag Shaodian away.
His own large warships attacked from both sides.
Seeing the enemy's change of formation, Yu Zhong ordered his large warships to form a rare "herringbone" formation. The patrol boats of the Xijiang Navy were mixed in the middle, followed closely by the warships rushing at the front.
The Shaodian Kingdom's "Zhenjiang" rushed to the front, and after ramming away a Qi Kingdom's medium-sized warship, it was stopped by a second medium-sized warship. The bow of the "Zhenjiang" was stuck in the second
The hull of a medium-sized warship.
The captain of the "Zhenjiang", the captain of the first brigade of the Xijiang Water Village, and the early beheading warrior Shen Gong led a squadron of sailors to jump onto the enemy ship.
Shen Gong brandished a spear and charged at the front. No one was his enemy. When the boats of the Xijiang Navy surrounded the hit enemy ship, he had already picked off more than ten of them.
enemy.
When Shen Gong jumped onto the deck of the enemy ship and looked down, there was no enemy left standing. Five patrol boats of the Xijiang Navy quickly pulled away the stuck enemy ship, and Shen Gong returned to "
Zhenjiang", commanding the warship to continue rushing towards Qi's flagship.
The Thirteenth Legion entered the water village, and the commander of the legion, Feng De, boarded the gun tower to watch. The ships on the Tongyuan River were already fighting in a group. Many warships were filled with flames and the sound of killing was loud.
A sentry on the turret suddenly shouted: "No, the enemy has reinforcements coming."
