Chapter 372 Take down Niu Zhu(1/2)
The warships of Gao Shun's army sailed to Niuzhu, and the catapults on the warships fired at the fortifications on the shore of Niuzhu.
Boom!
Huge rocks hit the shore, instantly smashing the defenses on the shore to pieces, and a soldier named Liu Yao was smashed into a pulp.
miserable!
Horrible!
Niuzhu was garrisoned by Liu Yao's general Fan Neng with troops and horses.
Fan Neng is a third-rate general.
Only a loser like Liu Yao would treat Fan Neng as a dish.
"shooting!"
Fan Neng ordered.
Whoosh whoosh!
The sharp arrows that covered the sky and the sun were fired towards the Xiakou division warship. Unfortunately, the range was not enough to hit the warship and had no impact on the soldiers on board.
"General Pan, we can't shoot at the Xiakou Army. They are too far away, almost three hundred steps away."
One of the archers said.
joke!
Although the catapult on the warship is a smaller version, its range has not been reduced much.
At this time, except for a limited number of people such as Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci, those who could shoot three hundred steps could not shoot that far at all.
Boom!
The catapults on the warships kept shooting stones one after another, hitting the shore.
But what?
Catapults can only bombard fortifications and will not do much damage to Liu Yao's soldiers. After all, catapults have too many limitations.
One defense after another was destroyed.
Pan Neng is so depressed!
Although the rate of fire of the catapults on the warships was not very fast, their firepower was constant and they kept firing, which had a very frightening effect on Liu Yao's soldiers on the shore.
The soldiers on the shore were trembling, their faces were pale, and they were very frightened.
Within an hour, all the fortifications on the shore of Uuzhu were destroyed.
Next it was the infantry's turn to land.
A Xiakou Army soldier jumped out of the boat and quickly rowed towards the shore.
When Fan Neng saw that the Xiakou Army was about to land, he immediately ordered his soldiers to stay on the shore and prevent the soldiers from the Xiakou Army from landing.
Boom!
On the warship, Gan Ning saw Liu Yao's soldiers coming out and wanted to prevent the infantry from landing, so he immediately ordered the catapult to open fire.
Cover the infantry landing.
Bang bang bang!
The soldiers under Liu Yao who had just reached the shore were suddenly bombarded by catapults, and stones were thrown on their bodies.
Instantly turned into meat.
How miserable!
The Xiakou infantry on the boat used their bows and arrows to fight back at Fan Neng's soldiers on the shore.
Whoosh whoosh!
More than a dozen soldiers under Fan Neng's banner who rushed to the shore were blocked. Each of them was hit by arrows and fell in a pool of blood.
Under the double blow of catapults, bows and arrows, Fan Neng's soldiers had no choice but to retreat and establish a blocking defense line away from the shore.
In this way, the landing of the infantry under Gao Shun became much smoother.
A Xiakou Army soldier landed on the shore, quickly found a suitable place to hide, and started shooting at Fan Neng's soldiers.
As more and more soldiers landed, the beachhead position on the shore continued to advance ashore, and the position of Gao Shun's soldiers gradually expanded.
"General Gao, it depends on your infantry next."
Gan Ning said.
"General Gan, I won't say thank you anymore. The Yangtze River still needs to be blocked by General Gan."
Gao Shundao.
"General Gao, don't worry! Our Navy has completely blocked the Yangtze River and will not let Liu Yao and others escape across the Yangtze River."
Gan Ning said.
"goodbye!"
After Gao Shun finished speaking, he turned around and took his guards on a small boat, rowed to the shore, boarded the shore, and commanded the infantry division to fight.
Take a look at the battle situation.
"Yuan Jian, lead your soldiers to attack to the right, continue to expand the results, and don't give Fan Neng's troops a chance."
Gao Shundao.
"As you command!"
Liao Huadao.
Two hours later, Gao Shun's large army cleared the area around Niuzhu City and completely surrounded Niuzhu City.
One after another, catapults were pushed to the front of Niuzhu City Gate.
Stand ready!
A Xiakou Army soldier held a white flag and walked slowly to the city gate.
"Listen up, people in the city. Following the order of the Queen Mother, we are sending troops to attack Liu Yao, a rebel who refuses to obey orders.
Immediately put down your weapons and open the city gate. Our Xiakou army will not hold you responsible. If you resist to the end, once the city gate is breached, you will be killed without mercy!"
The Xiakou Army soldiers shouted loudly.
Fan Neng on the city wall was extremely angry after hearing this. The Xiakou army was just invading, and he spoke so openly.
"General Fan, the Xiakou Army has so many troops that we simply can't resist it. In addition, the Xiakou Army is acting according to orders and seeking righteousness. What should we do?"
one of the lieutenants asked.
"That is a false edict. When did our Lord Liu Yao rebel? It was purely an excuse for the Xiakou Army to invade Yangzhou."
Fan Nengdao.
"Soldiers on the city wall, listen up. Liu Yao did not listen to his orders and did not send out troops to attack Dong Zhuo's traitors. He colluded with Dong Zhuo.
Don't be fooled by Liu Yao anymore, put down your weapons and surrender as soon as possible. This is your only chance to survive.
We, the Xiakou Army, will give you some time to think about it. If the time is exceeded, we will start to attack the city. Everyone should think carefully."
Xiakou Bing said loudly.
Turn around and walk back to the Xiakou military formation.
All of a sudden, many soldiers on the Niuzhu city wall started talking in low voices.
It turns out that Lord Liu Yao wanted to become king independently!
This is a rebellion, what are we going to do?
Fan Neng is so angry!
With Lord Liu Yao's high regard, Fan Neng definitely couldn't surrender to the Xiakou Army, but he couldn't defeat it!
Tangled!
Gao Shun looked at the city wall.
Several soldiers slowly approached Fan Neng and immediately surrounded him.
What about Fan Neng?
No problem was found and he thought it was his own soldiers.
brush!
Several soldiers suddenly drew their weapons and greeted Panneng.
The unexpected incident left the soldiers on the city wall dumbfounded, speechless, and their minds blank.
Sluggish, stupid!
Puff puff puff!
