Chapter 82: The fire soars into the sky

?The fires surged into the sky at the foot of Xisai Mountain. The Zhou army warships that were attacking late at night instant broke through the Hengjiang iron chain. As soon as some of the Chen army's warships came out of the water camp, the Zhou army fleet blocked them at the door, and the one who took the lead was the vehicles and ships.≯

The ships and ships collected their sails and rowed on their oars. The distance between Zhou army ships was very close and it was inconvenient to use long paddles to paddle. However, there was no such problem for the ships and ships. They lined up in neatly and crossed the ships, and the ships were very close to each other and crashed into the Chen army warship in front of them like a wall.

The Chen army warships are in a conventional form, and they need to sail or paddle and paddle forward. In order to ensure that they have enough paddling space, a certain distance must be maintained between the two ships. In this way, the Chen army warships are much thinner and are at a disadvantage when they collided with the Zhou army warships that were like walls.

Chen Jun's small boat was directly overturned, and the big boat was evenly matched when the single ship collided, but Zhou Jun's vehicles and ships were rowing with their oars and stride forward, pushing Chen Jun's warship into the bow and shaking the bow of the boat, and finally struck the hull across.

The cruel jumping gang battle exploded. The cover-up crossbowman first shot over a group of Chen Jun soldiers on the deck, and then the Zhou soldiers, who were like wolves and tigers, jumped over and started a bloody battle with the surviving Chen Jun soldiers on the deck.

The warships would sway when floating on the water, so they had to stand firm to fight on the deck of the ship. The naval soldiers on both sides did not have such concerns. However, the Zhou army had more warships and many crossbowmen on their masts. Soon, Chen army on the front line of warships was defeated.

The Zhou army's vehicles and ships immediately advanced separately, and rushed into the Chen Jun Water Village with other warships that arrived behind them. Before they had time to leave the village, the Chen Jun warships were blocked by their heads and squeezed into a group with the warships coming from behind.

Continuously squeezing, Zhou and Chen's warships were squeezed together, and the ships moored on the shore quickly turned into a "ship island". The Zhou army archers outside shot rockets, and the arrows ignited the "ship island" in the rain.

At this time, the northwest wind was blowing, and sporadic flames on the warships quickly rose up with the wind. The sails that had descended were lit and turned into torches. Mars drifted with the wind ignited more sails of warships.

The Zhou army warships in the upper wind direction set fire unscrupulously. The northwest wind swept the fire and burned the Chen army warships in the southeast to the camps on the shore. The sparks had become a prairie fire.

Countless Chen soldiers were running and wailing in the sea of ​​fire. The people on the boat had no time to escape and could only jump into the water. The soldiers on the shore were sobbing that they were crying by the thick smoke coming towards them. Seeing countless sparks coming with the wind, they all ignited the camps on the shore, and they were all anxious to lift water to put out the fire.

The sky-sky fire illuminated Xisai Mountain under the night. Zhou army warships forced their way to dock next to the water camp. After putting down the pedals, they rushed out in addition to infantry and cavalry. They used the fire to cover the Chen army's water camp and rushed towards the panicked enemy soldiers like hungry tigers rushing out of the sea of ​​fire.

A general of the Chen army organized soldiers to try to intercept them. They tried hard to pull the bow and shoot arrows, but they were still approached by the other party. Zhou army soldiers covered their bodies with group cards and charged forward with arrows. The cavalry, who also did not avoid arrows, were armoured with men and horses. After the two sides met in close combat, Chen army was about to collapse at once.

Countless soldiers saw the enemy army breaking into the camp and turning around and ran away. On the shore, there was their own camp on the southern foot of Xisai Mountain and they wanted to take refuge. They felt that the best way to join forces with the garrison troops attacking the camp to meet the enemy.

The Zhou army soldiers thought so, and they followed the defeated soldiers to fight toward the camp not far away. The scene was a mess, which was a good opportunity to catch fish in troubled waters. Their goal was to take the opportunity to seize the village gate.

"No, no one is allowed to open the door!" The guard of Chen Jun in the camp shouted with his sword. Countless soldiers in his arms fled outside the camp and shouted to open the door quickly. He looked around the city and repeated the orders.

"General..." Someone opened his head but couldn't say it. He looked at the comrades outside the wall who were crying and opening the door soon, and then looked at the vague Zhou Jun in the distance. As long as he was more rational, he knew that this was the only way.

Of course, some people will think that things will not be so bad. They can open the door and wait until the pursuers arrive before closing it. It sounds very reasonable, but in fact it doesn't work, because this is purely an idea that only newcomers on the battlefield have.

Because when the door opens, don't think about closing it anymore.

The enemy was chasing closely behind. The escaped soldiers ignored everything to survive and could throw away their armor to run faster. The defeated soldiers on the battlefield could rush back to their original formation in order to escape, which directly caused the defeat to fall. The soldiers who were about to escape into the camp were already red. If they saw the gate closed, they could do anything.

Those who have already entered the door will turn around to prevent the door from closing, in order to let their brothers come in, or to save fellow villagers or friends. Then the soldiers who are closed will be attacked, and the situation is in chaos will be in trouble, and the pursuers will take the opportunity to rush in. At that time, they will be burned together with the troops in the village.

"Open the door quickly, open the door quickly...ah!"

Screams came one after another, and the Chen army soldiers blocked outside the door slapped the village gate. They were constantly being shot by the Zhou army chasing behind them. Although the defenders on the village wall were also shooting arrows to cover them, under the reflection of the flames, Chen army soldiers still fell one after another.

They gathered under the village wall and squeezed into a group of no hiding places. The Zhou army behind them kept firing arrows with shields. The wall was dark, but they didn't need to aim and shoot arrows directly.

The desperate Chen Jun soldiers tried to turn around and rush out to fight back, but without exception, they were shot into hedgehogs. More and more Zhou troops surrounded them. In order to avoid the archers on the village wall, they did not get too close to them, but the feather arrows shot from the strong bow still knocked down more and more Chen Jun soldiers.

Listening to the screams, looking at the more and more Zhou soldiers in the dark outside, the guard closed his eyes and gritted his teeth to emphasize the order not to open the door. This order was cruel but nothing wrong. Afterwards, as long as Shangguan reasoned, it would not be possible to blame them.

"The Zhou army actually came to the shore. How come the Hengjiang iron chain, why was the navy defeated so miserably!" Some people were surprised. The five continents in the upper reaches were only forty miles from Xisai Mountain. Now it was smooth sailing and attacking at night. Therefore, the Hengjiang iron chain played a role in blocking the opponent's warships.

"Who knows, could it be a good thing that cuts corners?" Someone cursed. There are so many dirty things in the army these days. Maybe even the ropes in Hengjiang are said to be iron ropes.

"The warship is over, the water camp is over, and now the water army is over..." Another man looked at the sky-sky fire on the northeastern river and lamented. The water camp was only four or five hundred steps away from their 6 villages, and the water camp has now turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The shouting outside the wall has weakened, and the soldiers of Chen Jun who were blocked outside have been killed and killed in the rain of arrows. When the night wind blows, the defenders can vaguely hear the neighing sound of people and horses in the direction of the water village.

They once waited for the battle to avenge the revenge of the Rongzhou. They once came to the five continents to yell and scolded the Zhou navy and the Zhou army to come out to fight to the decisive battle. They were thinking about a great battle with the Zhou army every day and night to avenge their previous shame. As a result, tonight, the Zhou army's surprise attack turned all preparations into jokes.

The naval warships stationed in Xisai Mountain are so majestic that they forced the Zhou army guarding the five continents to avoid the battle to protect the ships, but now they have turned into fire ships. The skillful naval soldiers were chased out of the 6 camps like sheep, and then they were easily shot and killed one by one.

In May, the navy that advanced westward had lost more than half of the time in Zhengrongzhou. Tonight, the remaining troops in Xisai Mountain seemed to be over. The only thing they could do was to defend the 6 villages. After dawn, the Zhou army would naturally retreat.

"The Zhou army is going to attack the camp!" An archer shouted. Everyone leaned over and looked through the arrow pile. They saw black shadows shaking on the flat ground outside the camp. Then, the firelight in the water camp in the distance could be seen vaguely showing someone carrying a bamboo ladder.

"Even the bamboo ladder is ready. Could it be that they want to take the 6 villages together tonight?"

"Good come, there are enough wood and stone pipes to roll, ready to shoot arrows!"

"Let the Western Wall be careful and don't touch it!"

The defenders of the 6 villages were prepared to see the Zhou army intending to attack from the east wall. The camp ran across the north and south and only connected the enemy to the east and west. The Xisaishan Shui Village was large in scale, but their 6 villages were even larger in scale. Even all the food and grass of the Xisaishan garrison were stationed in the camp.

Therefore, the defenders have sufficient troops and complete various defense facilities. They are not afraid of Zhou's army who want to use bamboo ladder ants to attack the village. They are not sure about defending for more than a month, but it is absolutely fine to defend Jiangzhou reinforcements.

"Everyone is calm and shoot arrows when they get closer and see clearly!"

......

At the north end of the 6th village, under the steep slope of Xisai Mountain, Chen Jun soldiers defending the wall on the east side of the village were holding their breath. The Zhou army outside the wall was gathering to prepare to attack the village. The direction of their attack was near the village gate. The pressure was considered to be less than that of the village gate.

The other party was preparing to shoot outside the range of their archers in the dark, as if they were waiting for some time. Chen Jun archers were also ready. They did not ignite the ignition to avoid seeking death. The other party did not ignite the ignition, which seemed to be planning to shoot against each other in the dark.

"Stay calm, don't cheat them on the arrows. If you put them closer, you will shoot them again." A veteran ordered that the bend the bow and arrows should not last for too long. Many archers hold the bow with one hand and the other, and put the feather arrow on the bow body but do not pull the string. At the same time, the crossbowmen are much more convenient. They directly aim at the outside with the stringed crossbow.

"It seems like there is a sound?" Someone looked up at the hillside on the north side. The slope of Xisai Mountain was very steep and had many shrubs. At night, there were often geckos and other night crying.

"The sound of the wind blowing the branches..." Another man said, looking at the dark hillside, he saw nothing except the shadows of trees. The wind often blows across the hillside, and the sound of the branches swaying is normal.

"No, I think..."

Before he could finish his words, an arrow was nailed to his face. Before the comrades next to him reacted, the sound of breaking through the air sounded one after another. Several people were shot down by feather arrows flying from above the hillside. At the same time, several thick hemp ropes were thrown off the hillside, and black shadows slid down the hemp rope.

"Someone attacked!" Chen soldiers shouted loudly. They rushed to the bottom of the hillside to meet with the black shadows that had slid down. At the same time, a whistling whistling on the mountain was rushing up to the sky. The Zhou army outside the village attacked and shouted and killed sounded across the sky.

Chen Midou drew his sword and slashed the enemy soldiers who rushed to the front and cut them in half. When the other man saw that he was still standing firmly and rushed up to finish the attack, Chen Midou rolled on the spot and tripped the opponent. Behind him, a comrade in the Hulin Army came a real finish attack.

"Run!" Chen Midou got up and roared, danced his hands and long swords to lead his subordinates to face the Chen soldiers surrounding him. The other party was caught off guard by their surprise attack and was unable to gather in a formation in a hurry. This was the opportunity for Chen Midou and others.

The Xinyou sword technique taught to them by Yang Sima is to use both hands to grow a sword. The power is good, but there is a disadvantage: the blade is too long and requires a large space for display, so the soldiers must keep a distance from each other when killing the enemy. In this way, their formation will be looser, and it will be nothing to deal with the same loose enemy. If the opponent forms a formation, it will be a bit difficult.

Now the soldiers surrounded by Chen Jun were facing their appetites. Chen Midou first made a fake move to deceive the other party, then pushed his sword forward and pierced the opponent's chest, drew his sword and jumped backward to avoid the blade cut by another person, then stepped forward and twisted the blade to lift the man's crotch with one knife.

After practicing sword skills for more than a year, Chen Midou is now very skilled in dancing with his hands and attacking each other. He cut off the brave Chen army, who was scattered with his troops, and the wind sounded. Chen Midou hid sideways and hid, and a feather arrow deviated from his heart and nailed it to his left shoulder.

Fortunately, he was wearing two-fold sleeve armor, and the arrow did not shoot through the armor. Chen Midou pulled out the arrow and picked up a dough card on the ground, leading his men down the stairs to kill the village wall.

Behind them, many soldiers slid down the hillside along the hemp rope to the village. Some joined Chen Midou and rushed up the village wall, while others bent their bows and arrows to shoot the archers on the village wall as a cover.

The sudden surprise caused the Chen army in the village to be in chaos. The guards sent people to the north end, and more and more Zhou troops were sliding down from the hillside with ropes. The Chen army on the village wall was killed and retreated step by step. The Zhou army outside the wall successfully climbed up the bamboo ladder ant and climbed over the northern end wall and entered the village.

"Fight with them!" The Chen army general who had just arrived drew his sword and shouted. The soldiers on both sides then collided in one place to fight, but the Chen army soldiers were not the opponent of the Zhou army.

The Zhou army soldiers had a very flexible sword in their hands. They liked to scream loudly before the fight. In addition, the skeleton mask was very terrifying. Many Chen army soldiers were suppressed as soon as they fought, and few of them were either dead or injured after three rounds.

The domineering Zhou army soldier held the knife in both hands and chopped it down. When Chen army soldier blocked the knife, his arms were sore. Not only did the knife in his hand be knocked away by the other party, the long sword followed the trend and spread its head. Facing these squadrons with amazing strength, Chen army soldiers were about to collapse at once.

Another Zhou army soldiers set fire in the camp. More and more soldiers climbed into the camp from the northern end wall. They lit rockets and shot arrows towards the south gate. They also shouted in unison with their comrades who were attacking the village outside the wall: "It's broken, it's broken!"

The tide of shouting made the guard anxious as if it were an ant on a hot pan. The soldiers tried their best to shoot arrows to suppress the Zhou army archers outside the wall. Countless bamboo ladders were placed on the wall. Some soldiers rushed up to push them away regardless of their own efforts.

Someone was shot by a stray arrow and fell down the wall. Someone just rushed to the front of the ladder but met Zhou Bing who had climbed up. He was killed by him in a flash. Some tried their best to grab the two sections of the bamboo ladder and retreated outward and successfully pushed him away from the city wall.

The bamboo ladder did not have an iron hook, so it could not hook the arrow pile to prevent it from being pushed away. Seeing the bamboo ladder falling backwards with the soldiers on the ladder, Zhou soldiers on the ground struggled to lift the long bamboo to support the bamboo ladder, and then he used his strength to hit the arrow pile on the village wall again.

Zhou Bing, who was climbing on the ladder, jumped and knocked Chen Bing to the ground. After a hand-to-hand combat, he punched Chen Bing with brute force. Other Chen Bing rushed over to finish the attack, but he was not expected to be intercepted by Zhou Bing who subsequently climbed the village wall.

More and more Zhou soldiers climbed to the top of the city during the fight. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the guard of Chen army pale. Looking at the fire-sky water camp, looking at the 6 camps that were about to be broken, his eyes were full of despair.

"He was defeated so simply... he had no face to face the elders of Jiangdong..." He lamented and then drew his sword and committed suicide.

With a squeak, the village gate was opened by Zhou soldiers. Tides of soldiers rushed into the camp, and shouts rang out everywhere: "Surrender and don't kill!"
