Chapter 941 Fierce Battle at the New Wharf of Giant Yang City (Part 1)
A storm suddenly arose on the Chinese warship closest to the dock, the main mast was broken on the spot, and the strong wind tore everything apart.
The weaker soldiers on the deck were swept up by the storm and thrown around, and some of them were torn to pieces in the air; the stronger ones quickly grabbed fixed places on the ship and used all their strength to fight the storm; the first captain's The long sword penetrated the deck until it reached the hilt. He held the hilt tightly with both hands and pressed his feet against the side of the ship to prevent it from being blown up.
"Eye of the storm!" Bingzheng recognized the magic.
"Ready the bows and arrows!" Niu Erbing led his men to hide aside and picked up the bows and arrows again.
The warship shrouded in the eye of the storm was spinning in place, and the ship next to it was also blown to and fro, making it impossible to continue approaching the dock.
"Fire arrows, quickly fire arrows to suppress the enemy!" Wei Dao ordered hurriedly, "Your Excellency Bingzheng, can you destroy that magic?"
"It's too late. It was cast by the tower magician, so it's not that easy to destroy." Bingzheng was a little distracted.
The warship was unevenly stressed in the storm, and it didn't last long before it capsized on the river.
"Okay!" Qianyou shouted.
"Fire the arrow!" This time it was Ding Cai who shouted at the top of his lungs.
Before the end of the eye of the storm, the bow and arrow will miss the target. Ganyou calculated the time and asked the eighth infantry battalion to release the arrow.
Before the first captain of the Third Division could loosen his grip on his sword, eight sharp arrows pinned him to the plank of the ship, and other soldiers who fell into the water were also struck by arrows.
The arrows of our country are thrown, while the arrows of the infantry battalion are shot straight. The hit rate of the two is completely incomparable. Moreover, the soldiers of Juyang City have specially trained bows and arrows, which adds a few percent to the hit rate.
Because they wanted to lure their own people to attack, the soldiers of the Eighth Battalion did not fire any more rockets. However, it seemed to the other side that they were in a hurry and were not ready.
After a round of shooting, there were very few soldiers left on the first ship that was attacked by magic. This was the first casualty since the invasion of our country.
"Fuck! Fake surrender in front of me and blow the charge horn! All the troops charge me!" Wei Dao was furious and ordered angrily. This was the charge horn of the third division, and it was not just the order for the second batch of soldiers who had just come up. Boat.
The four boats at the front rushed forward to cover a few comrades who were still flopping in the water.
"Protect the magician!" Ding Cai stood guard in front of Qianyou with his sword, and several soldiers nearby also threw away their bows and arrows and picked up their shields to surround him.
Qianyou's expression was serious, his eyes fixed on a medium-sized warship, and the magic wand in his hand was slowly turning.
"Fire the arrows! Kill the officers first!" Niu Erbing opened his bow and shot at the compatriot wearing the captain's armor.
Another sparse rain of arrows was thrown out, and this time the unlucky ones were the officers who emerged from the other four ships. Almost each of them had more than ten arrows to greet them, making them the key targets.
"Attack that white-robed magician!" Bingzheng raised his hand and shot a magic light bullet. He had to summon his fellow magicians from the third division, otherwise he would be unable to stop Qianyou's unilateral massacre.
However, Qianyou's second large-scale killing magic is ready.
"Wind Blade Storm!" Qian You shouted coldly.
More than a hundred wind blades rushed towards the second ship, beating the ship into a sieve under the horrified eyes of the soldiers on board.
"Hurry, how many can you kill before the large enemy force arrives!" Niu Erbing changed his target, focusing on picking out enemies who were unable to fight back and firing arrows, regardless of whether they were officers or not.
The quality of the soldiers of the Eighth Battalion was significantly higher than that of the enemy. Basically, two or three arrows could hit a target. What was even more frightening was that they could shoot at the enemy's bows and arrows without any damage even if they were hit.
A Chinese army officer stretched his bow and fired a volley of arrows, each of which was an armor-piercing arrow. The target was the shouting Niu Erbing. But just as he was about to duck to avoid the opponent's arrows, a whirlwind emerged from the soles of his feet, covering his entire body. The man was rolled into the air, and then a wind blade passed through him and he was split into two pieces.
Qianyou began to eliminate difficult enemies at targeted locations. He was considered the master on this battlefield and no one could threaten him.
The First Brigade of the Third Division obviously had a thousand people, twice as many as the dock defenders. When they rushed to the berth regardless of their lives, there were less than five hundred people left. Fortunately, dozens of ships behind them were speeding by. approaching.
Eleven black-robed magicians flew out of the warships of our country one after another. They flew upward cautiously, keeping a distance of more than a hundred meters from the dock, and tried to lock onto the man in white robes on the shore with their mental strength.
"It's him!" Bingzheng's eyes bulged, and he recognized that the magician opposite was the magician who had ambushed Le Yun.
"Let's go, let's go!" Ding Cai waved his hand and called for the officers and soldiers of the eighth battalion to retreat. The enemy's magicians gathered together and were a threat to them.
Apart from Qian You, he was the strongest on the pier. Every time he struck out with a sword, he could take the life of a fellow countryman, and he also blocked the attack on Qian You.
"That guy," Wei Dao pointed at Ding Cai and said fiercely, "If I catch him, I will cut him into pieces!"
However, Ding Cai did not really lead the people to evacuate, but hid in a corner, "Master Qian, can the enemy's magician see us?"
"Their level is not high enough, their mental strength is not strong, and their detection distance is not that far."
"Okay, let's wait for the enemy's vanguard to disembark, and then we'll go back and kill for a while." Ding Cai checked his equipment.
"Yes! Kill them and let them know the true strength of our Eighth Battalion." Niu Erbing took out two swords from nowhere.
The soldiers of the other eight battalions put on their own weapons and geared up to prepare for a big battle.
The Jingyang City's elite infantry battalion naturally has more than just archery as an attack method. Archery is their weakest item.
The only way to get ashore is through ships at the berths. The new pier deliberately left two berths vacant to confuse the enemy. Two ships from the First Battalion of the Third Division could dock.
Perhaps seeing that all the pier guards had fled, the more than 400 remaining members of the first group mustered up the courage to jump off the ship from the pier. Some of them were sent to guard, while the other group tied the cables to the fixed piles and began to lay the springboard.
"Kill!"
The dock guards rushed out again, in groups of three and five, outflanking the Chinese soldiers on the left and right. The Chinese soldiers in charge of guarding bravely stepped forward to meet them, and the two sides fought in a melee.
"Fuck!" Wei Dao punched the side of the ship, "Speed up and move forward at full speed!" In this situation, he could not order an arrow to be fired, as it would accidentally injure one of his own people.
However, the magicians gathered together took action, and their target was the white-robed magician behind Ding Cai.
"Hey, what a bunch of chickens and dogs." Qianyou jumped into the air to fight against the magicians of his country on his own. In doing so, he also prevented the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Battalion from becoming the targets of the magicians of the other side.
Niu Erbing turned sideways to pass a long spear, swept his sword down with his left hand, and pressed the sword with his right hand to cut across the gun. The soldier on the opposite side was unable to dodge, and was hit by the sword at the same time on his hands and feet, and was kicked away by Niu Erbing.
As soon as they fought, our soldiers retreated continuously. The dozen or so people who were the first to fight had been chopped to the ground. The most eye-catching ones were Niu Erbing and the five platoon leaders of the Eighth Battalion.
The elite infantry battalion is composed of five platoons, with no company-level units. The battalion commander commands the platoon leader, the platoon leader commands the squad leader, and the squad leader commands the squad members to fight and divide into dozens of groups to surround the opponent in the complex terrain of the dock.
More than a dozen low-level magics collided in the sky, crackling and exploding, and flashing red, white, and blue lights. They seemed to be evenly matched, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.
Wei Dao's warship had already rushed halfway. He looked up and decided to avoid the battle in the air and get ashore first.
"What's going on? The Third Division is charging?" Le Yun's boat was on the river between the two docks, and he could hear the charge horn of the Third Division.
"Yes, Wei Dao is leading his troops towards the new dock." A scout came to report.
"Can he attack it?"
"It seems like a large group rushed to the berth."
"Don't rush in!"
Le Yun recalled Le Pi's words and quickly ordered: "Let's go to Wei Dao and order the fourth division to go forward and suppress the enemy's formation. Be careful of the enemy's ambush."
"Go to hell!" Niu Erbing opened his arms, straightened his sword, and with a sharp spin, he swept away the heads of two enemy soldiers and broke through the defense line of his country's first brigade in the middle.
Eight battalions of soldiers surged up from behind and successfully separated the enemy.
Ding Cai went around to the side and charged into the enemy's rear alone.
At this time, our country's first brigade completely collapsed, and the number of people capable of fighting was drastically reduced. It seemed that it would not be able to sustain the arrival of the large force.
Wei Dao gritted his molars and ordered: "Fire the arrows! Don't let the enemy set fire to the ship."
At this time, he no longer cared about whether he would accidentally injure one of his own people. If he sacrificed a brigade and still couldn't get ashore, he wouldn't be able to be the division commander anymore.
Well, Ding Cai stabbed the last Chinese soldier on the dock to death with a sword, ducked an arrow with his head down, and shouted: "Retreat, it's too late if you don't leave!"
With a crash, the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Battalion ran away to the outside of the dock. Soldier Niu took the time to shout to the sky: "Master Gan, let's go!"
Qianyou fired the wind blade and flew backwards. From time to time, several low-level magics hit the atmospheric shield in front of him, but his expression remained unchanged.
"Quick, the second brigade will go up first and hold the landing point. The other brigade will go ashore in turn!" Wei Dao finally led his men to the edge of the dock.
One after another, our country's warships came to the berth. The iron hooks and flying claws were thrown over to tighten the ropes. The springboards were placed on the sides of the ships on both sides. The soldiers jumped to the opposite ship and then boarded the pier.
Wei Dao, with a red face, stepped off the boat and saw the corpses of his men lying on the ground. He was itching his teeth with hatred, "Send a signal to the second master and ask other divisions to come closer;
The second brigade chased out and entangled the group of dock defenders. The third brigade also followed after the whole group was completed. No one was allowed to run away!
Others cleared the barricades on the pier and widened the landing channel."
The second battalion was intact, and a thousand soldiers changed into melee weapons and set off immediately.
As soon as they rushed out of the gate of the pier, there were sudden sounds of killing from both sides of the road. The defenders of the pier who thought they had escaped actually ambush at the door and attacked the second brigade from the side.
This was completely beyond the expectations of our countrymen. The formation of the second battalion was immediately disrupted, and half of the captain's head was cut off by Ding Cai's sword. The soldiers of the eighth battalion were unstoppable.
"Ah, bah, you are bullying someone too much! Get all my troops on me." Wei Dao stretched out his hand to grab the spear and rushed out first.
