The southwest gateway of Jiankang Prefecture has always been regarded as one of the choke points for entering and exiting Jiankang Prefecture from the west, especially since it connects Jiangnan and Huaixi, and can connect the entire south through the river, so the scale of the wharf has become increasingly large.
, even vaguely like a bustling market.
However, now all the civilians here have been mobilized to Gushu City in southern Yuzhou to defend the city. Only thick black smoke billows from the once bustling dock.
Chen Shuying was not stupid and did not place the camp directly at the pier. Although there were many buildings on the pier, that would be like directly exposing himself to the bombardment of trebuchets. Chen Shuying had done enough homework and knew what the advantages of Li Xinchen's men were.
.
So he simply gave up the dock and set up camp directly at the foot of the mountain not far away. At the same time, he also set up a camp on the mountainside. This way, he could try his best to block the landing of the Shu Han Navy from a high position. Unfortunately, Chen Shuying still lacked the strength of the Shu Han Navy.
Understand that if a few large five-tooth warships bombarded the mountainside, the camp would no longer make any sound.
When the news of a good harvest in Bashu came, Li Xinchen no longer had to be so diligent and frugal in running the house. After the good harvest, the workshop also had more manpower. A large number of arrows were continuously sent to the front line, and the stone bullets of the trebuchets had even begun to be fired on the spot.
Material production.
To be honest, if it weren't for such abundant capital, Li Xingchen would not have rashly launched an attack on Jiangnan, because he knew very well that although the remaining area of Jiangnan was not big, he basically still had some illusions about the Nanchen court or
People who are die-hard loyal to Nanchen have gathered on this land, which means that every step forward by Li Xinchen may be a bloody battle.
"Bang!" The trebuchets of Nanchen's army greeted the Shu Han soldiers who boarded the dock not to be outdone. Some of the stone bullets fell into the houses, directly smashing them down, and some even fell directly into the water and lifted up.
The huge water column made the soldiers on the Shuhan Navy warship fight back desperately.
"The order is sent to Han to capture the tiger, and we must quickly expand the depth!" Li Xingchen ordered decisively. It was obvious that Nanchen's trebuchet had found its sense from the initial chaos. If it continued, the Shu Han army gathered on the dock would suffer heavy casualties.
.
The one who landed as the forward was Han Qinhu, whom Li Xingchen brought with him specially. At this time, Han Qinhu was squatting behind a broken wall, carefully watching the changes in the battlefield ahead.
Chen Shuying's defensive method is actually very simple, that is, to set up defenses layer by layer on the saddle behind the pier. As long as he can trap the Shu Han army on the pier, it is obviously enough for him. At least now Han Qinhu can look around from here.
Go, resist the horse, Luzhai is layer by layer, but there is not much at all.
This battle has been fought, but now that it is here, there is nothing to retreat from. I haven't participated in any big battles since I left Shu, so I can't just enter Jiankang Mansion!
"Fire arrows to suppress the enemy's crossbowmen!" Han Qinhu ordered decisively.
His subordinates were all adapted from Xiao Shilian's old subordinates who had attacked Hanzhong and the Northern Zhou army at Yangping Pass. They all trusted Han Qinhu, although the enemy's arrows flew through the ruins from time to time, and sometimes even grazed them.
scalp, but the Shu Han crossbowmen still shot without hesitation. The countless arrows finally represented the anger of these Shu Han soldiers who had just gained a foothold. Those Nanchen crossbowmen who were still fighting and retreating behind Luzhai were in pieces.
The piece fell.
"Kill!" Han Qinhu didn't say much. He just picked up a shield and rushed towards the front line. The soldiers also jumped up from the ruins of the dock, roaring and followed closely. Go to Korea to capture a tiger.
"Concentrate the stone bombs and release them!" Wang Chang was also very nervous at this time. The navy formed a fan shape on the river in order to throw the stone bombs into the enemy's line as much as possible. But Han Qinhu and the others launched an attack. It was so sudden that Wang Chang was really worried about whether he would throw a stone bullet at their heads.
"Bang!" A stone bullet landed a few feet in front of Han Qinhu, hitting the Luzhai heavily, and forcefully knocked away several Luzhais that were connected together, and those who still wanted to rely on Luzhai to resist At this time, Nan Chen's soldiers could only scream and run around.
Han Qinhu secretly cursed. The navy guys are really not afraid of missing their mark. But fortunately, the navy's trebuchets seem to be very respectable. This is the closest stone bullet to Han Qinhu and the others. , the remaining stone bullets all crackled on the defense line further back, causing Nanchen's soldiers to completely mess up their position.
"Come forward!" Han Qinhu yelled. This was really a good opportunity. Although he was cursing, at this moment he wanted to give that guy Wang Chang a big bear hug.
The Shu Han soldiers, who had been holding their breath for a long time, poured into the defense line along the gap in Luzhai. At this time, the soldiers of Nanchen also calmed down and packed up the queue. However, before they could stand still, a row of arrows swept through them like a cold wind. , causing most of them to fall to the ground directly.
It turned out that the crossbowmen had followed the group and rushed to the first deer village, firing arrows at the enemy with all their might.
Han Qinhu subconsciously touched his nose. To be honest, he was a little depressed. The Nanchen soldiers behind the first line of defense were scared away by the stone bullets thrown by the trebuchet. Now it is possible that the soldiers on the second line of defense will also be attacked by their own bows. The crossbowman stole the head?
However, he had no time to complain and rushed forward. The arrows released by Nanchen's army became more and more dense, hitting the shield with "puff", and Shu Han soldiers had fallen beside him, and even the flag bearer was hit by arrows. However, at the last moment when he fell, he still tried his best to plant the flag on the ground:
"Long live the great man!"
Although the flag bearer's shout was already very weak, it penetrated into the ears of the soldiers nearby, and almost all of them shouted out:
"Long live the great man!"
Han Qinhu took a deep breath, pulled out the flag, held it high and continued to move forward!
"Long live the great man!"
Countless soldiers burst into even louder cheers and continued to advance!
On the pier behind him, Li Xingchen, dressed in military uniform, walked quickly through the ruins still stained with blood. Wounded soldiers were being sent back one after another. The navy's warships would be responsible for sending them directly to Jinxi on the other side. After all, this area is too small, and space must be made for the arrival of subsequent troops.
Looking at the wounded soldiers moaning softly around him, Li Xingchen felt a faint pain in his heart.
"Your Highness" A wounded soldier saw Li Xingchen and was a little excited.
Li Xingchen walked forward with a smile and looked at the arrow wound on his leg: "It doesn't matter, right?"
"It's okay, your highness, don't worry," the wounded soldier said hurriedly, but he didn't expect that Li Xingchen actually walked up to him.
This is His Highness the King of Han, the future emperor!
Thinking of something, the wounded soldier felt ashamed: "My subordinates are incompetent, and I can no longer continue to fight for His Highness." (To be continued)
