"Sure enough, Baili Kuangsha treats us like pigs and dogs. Even the prince of the enemy country treats us better than him."
“Be careful what you say to avoid misfortune.”
The seeds of dissatisfaction were deeply planted in their hearts, and at the same time, they quickly spread among the crowd like a plague.
On the south bank of the Yangtze River, Ouyang Xun, the king of Annan Kingdom, led a hundred thousand troops and hundreds of warships out of Jianye to support Nangong Wentian. The Annan navy followed the southeast wind and moved up the river along the river. The battle flags covered the sky and the sun.
"Report, the enemy navy has moved out." Taishan Army spies came to report on flying horses.
"Be careful, Your Majesty, ahead is the entrance to Chaohu Lake, where the Prince of the North of Jiangshan Kingdom has camped to prevent us from going north."
Ouyang Xun stood on the high platform of the warship, looking at the position east of the lake. Dozens of catapults were lined up in order, and the soldiers were ready.
"Sniping at the entrance to the lake is good, but it's a pity that the narrowest point of the lake entrance is 700 paces, and the tide is nearly a thousand paces. Even the furthest catapult is only 300 to 400 paces. Prince Zhenbei was blown away.
It’s as divine as it is, but only has its appearance.”
It's better to be careful. I have already written to Baili Kuangsha and asked him to lead the infantry to pick him up.
More than 70 warships parked at the mouth of the lake, like a mirage
"Order Pioneer Youteng to lead the Clippers and pass through at top speed."
"yes"
The horn sounded, tearing the sky, and the flag bearer of the flagship issued an order. You Teng led the seven-bow clipper to leave the group, adjust the formation, and line up in a long snake formation, heading towards Chaohu.
At this time, the war drums on the shore rang, the sound was deafening. You Teng led the soldiers and ordered the soldiers to splint for defense. Ouyang Xun also watched Xu Hanwen's movement on the shore closely.
"In exchange for fifty kilograms of boulders, the distance is three hundred steps, and everyone is waving flags and shouting."
When the Taishan Army heard the Crown Prince's order, they were stunned and wondered if they heard it wrong. They turned back to stare at Xu Hanwen,
"Look at what you are looking at and execute the order"
"Follow your orders"
The soldiers lifted the stones and put them on the catapult truck.
"put"
There was a sound of heavy hammers, and fifteen boulders flew out and flew into the sky. Everyone's eyes followed the boulders, including the Annan soldiers.
Bang, there was a loud noise, fifteen huge splashes of water appeared on the river, and all the stones fell down a hundred steps away from the Youteng fleet.
The Taishan Army waved their military flags and shouted loudly,
"Kill" the sound of killing continued all over the place.
Hahaha, the people on the boat laughed, whistled, laughed, and even peed on them.
"Xu Hanwen, his reputation has been ruined today, the fox pretended to be the tiger's power"
"Continue to release boulders, the range is 350 steps"
"Your Majesty, you can't hit the enemy warships like this."
"I just can't hit it"
The Taishan Army once again obeyed the order and moved the stones. This time it was the same as last time. Even the shadow of the warship could not be reached. The Nan'an soldiers laughed even more happily. The vanguard fleet swaggered through the tiger's mouth.
Ouyang Xun watched the vanguard fleet break through the blockade and enter Chao Lake,
"Order all ships to advance at full speed"
The sails of the warships were high, and the fleet set off in a mighty manner like a giant dragon. The wind was howling, and the lake was like a wild horse, galloping and roaring. The huge waves rushed towards the fleet crazily,
"Xu Hanwen, just fish slowly here, let's go"
"Change the kerosene, adjust it to 400 steps, and aim at the target separately. You must not let the first few ships pass."
The Annan soldiers were still cheering and cheering on the boat. Everyone in the Taishan Army had anger burning in their eyes. More than ninety warships were arranged in a line. When the lead ship was about to leave the mouth of the lake three thousand steps away,
"ignition"
All the fire pots in the trebuchet basket were ignited,
"put"
This order carried the anger of all the soldiers. The cupping jars flew high into the sky and hit the enemy warships. Three of the ten cupping jars hit the sailboat accurately, and four hit the sail. It was not the Taishan Army's precision.
But the target of the warship was too big, the cup exploded, and a raging fire suddenly broke out on the deck of the ship. With the help of the river wind, the fire burned even more fiercely.
"No, we've fallen into a trap, turn around quickly"
"Okay, burn it well, let these people laugh at us and burn these bastards to death"
If there is no encounter behind you, prepare to turn around and flee.
Hanwen directed the fifteen catapults at the entrance to launch. The fifteen fireballs flew into the sky, crossed the sky, and hit the enemy warships hard.
Yang Yanting was very happy after seeing it,
"If you cut off the head and tail, the sixty warships entering the lake mouth are probably more likely to be in trouble than in danger. They are showing the enemy's weakness. If they go too far on the other side, the prince is good at planning."
The ejection truck reloaded the fire can, aimed, and launched. The warship was hit again and set off a fire.
The leading ship fled forward with the fire and entered Chao Lake. The thirty warships behind quickly turned around. However, it was difficult for the big ship to turn around. The surroundings were chaotic as it accelerated. There was also a southeasterly wind. The warships were moving slowly. The Annan soldiers were
It was so burned that ghosts cried and wolves howled, and orders could not be transmitted at all.
"All ships to the west, dock"
Everyone chanted "Come west!"
Fires were raging into the sky, and soldiers abandoned their boats and jumped into the river.
"Report to the Prince that the kerosene launch of the trebuchet has been completed."
"Change the stone"
The trebuchet fired the stones, and the rocks penetrated the air, and the wooden sailboat was hit with a hole.
The more than 60 besieged warships turned westward. Except for a few ships that docked, the rest were burned and sunk. Tens of thousands of corpses were floating on the lake. The clear lake was stained with fresh food, and grain and grass were floating on the lake surface.
On the west bank of Chao Lake, countless Annan soldiers who had narrowly escaped death climbed ashore and panted,
The giant ship was still burning in the fire and was in a mess. There were soldiers struggling in the lake.
"Help"
Most of the hundreds of giant ships were burned, nearly half of the 100,000-strong army was lost in an instant, and 100,000 dans of grain and grass flowed into the lake, unable to support Nangong Wentian from Chaohu Lake.
"Xu Hanwen, I, Ouyang Xun, will let you live and die."
"What should the prince do now?"
"Put out the fire and treat the wounded. We provide support from Xi'an and order Sun Yue to let him lead the remaining warships and enter the lake at night."
"Follow your orders"
The sight of corpses floating on the lake was thrilling and frightening. Although Hanwen couldn't bear it, there was nothing he could do about it. Those who achieve great things must sacrifice.
On the land, Baili Kuangsha led 50,000 people including prisoners to attack the camp by Hanwen Lake. Although there was no tall city wall this time, there were hedgehog stakes and a loud and urgent horn. The Annan army followed
dispatch
Ten thousand cavalry galloped out, the dust was flying, and they rushed straight towards the hedge stakes. The horses soared, hit the stakes, and died miserably. The horses neighed, and the cavalry stopped. At this time, arrows roared out, clearing the way for the infantry.
Under the thundering drums of war
The Chinese soldiers marched in neat steps,
Shouting "kill" in his mouth, he marched forward with heroic steps, and the black sea swept across the land.
Liang Chen sat forward and commanded the archers, shooting continuously.
The tenacious Annan soldiers, carrying shields on their heads, braved arrows and stones, rushed forward. The front team fell, and the rear team followed up. There was a hundred miles of Kuangsha supervising the battle, and no one retreated. In the midst of the rocks flying in the air and the
Under the rain of arrows that covered the sky, the front line was exhausted, and the captured soldiers from last time filled the gap.
The captive soldier who managed to escape death last time looked at the bloody mess of his comrades in front of him, and felt fearful and did not dare to step forward.
"Come on, don't be afraid of death" Baili Kuangsha shouted
The supervisors shot sharp arrows at those who retreated, killing them on the spot.
