Chapter 3571 The bottom-sink car
『Shoot the arrow! Shoot the arrow!』
"Roar up!"
『Swoosh, swosh...』
"ah……"
Both sides shouted in chaos.
Liao Hua's soldiers rushed to land, while Cao Ren's archers also rushed to shoot.
Everyone seemed to be shouting, but most people didn't know what they were calling.
Another round of arrows poured down.
『Risk a shield! Raise a shield!』
Li Du shouted.
Even if the killing effect of this round of arrows is average, there are always some people who are less lucky.
A soldier who was rushing up next to Li Du happened to look up and was immediately caught in an arrow in front of him, screaming and falling into the river.
"Don't show your head!" Li Du shouted, "Hurry! Kill! Kill!"
On the battlefield, all the experiences and lessons are replaced by flesh and blood.
Perhaps an unintentional action will kill your own life.
Li Du didn't care much about it, blocked his shield in front of him, and after this round of arrow rain, he rushed straight forward.
He didn't dare to stay and adjust the queue and command the soldiers. On the one hand, it was because staying in the same place was equivalent to acting as a target, and on the other hand, it would block the people behind and affect the speed of climbing up.
Taking advantage of the passage of Cao's rain of arrows, Li Du climbed up quickly. He felt that as long as he climbed up and killed a few archers, the one who was in chaos would be Cao's army.
But the next moment, with a sound of touching, a corpse fell down and hit Li Du.
The corpse was not like an archer in Cao's army, but the Hussar soldiers who rushed forward before Li Du...
Li Du turned his head slightly. Looking at the side of the shield, he saw the flames shaking. Before Cao's archers, some heavy armored swords and shield hands appeared, scattered among Cao's army!
The human figure wearing heavy armor is easy to identify. It is almost a circle larger than ordinary soldiers, like a half-iron tower!
Suddenly, Li Du felt that his heart seemed to be falling down by something!
When did Cao's army come up with heavy armor?
Grenade...
Li Du used to touch his waist before he realized that they did not bring grenades.
Because they came on a raft, and the raft did not ensure stability. If the grenade was contaminated with water vapor, it would be no different from the iron tumbler.
But now it is already a difficult situation!
He is a military academy. If he doesn't rush, who else will rush?
"Kill!" Li Du rushed up, and his shield protected his head and neck. Because of the difference between them, he waved his sword and slashed at the lower body of the heavy armored Cao Jun's sword and shield hand.
The heavily armored soldiers of Cao raised their feet and let Li Du's knife pass, and kicked Li Du onto Li Du's shield, kicking Li Du a little backward.
Although Cao Jun's heavy armor kicked Li Du's shield, Li Du also raised the shield up at that moment. Cao Jun's heavy armor's center of gravity was destroyed. He staggered back and failed to use the next move.
There are also some other ordinary Cao troops beside the heavy armored soldiers of the Cao army.
"call!"
A long spear pierced Li Du's head and face from the side.
Li Du tilted his head to avoid the spearhead, and stabbed the sword from the bottom to the top, and pierced it into the lower abdomen of Cao Jun's spearman. He watched the spearman's mouth wide open and his eyes protruded...
Li Du twisted his hand and blood immediately spilled his face.
The next moment, two more Cao army soldiers rushed to Li Du, one raised his sword and the other raised his gun, and crossed down.
"careful!"
A Hussar soldier rushed up and raised his shield to hit the Cao army's spear. Both of them were unstable and rolled down the hillside.
More Hussar soldiers rushed up with Li Du, intertwined with Cao's army, fighting together.
Fighting and screaming are increasing.
The soldiers crossing the river advance but not retreat!
...
...
Upstream of Danshui.
The second batch of soldiers boarded the ship.
The first group of soldiers were on rafts, while the second group of soldiers were on board.
It’s not that Liao Hua treats it differently, but that Liao Hua doesn’t have many ships. The limited ships are responsible for transporting grain and grass, and they also need to transport wounded soldiers. Many of these ships are fishing boats, but Liao Hua bought them from villages far away. If one is broken, one will be missing.
Liao Hua speculated that Cao Ren was prepared, so it was naturally impossible to use a ship from the beginning. Otherwise, once the ship was damaged, even if he wanted to rescue or do other measures, he would not be able to do it. Take transporting wounded soldiers as an example, is it a raft or a ship?
Therefore, it is inevitable that the first batch of soldiers had a worse condition.
As a general and front-line commander, sometimes you have to make choices. Even if such an arrangement is unfair to the first batch of soldiers, what can you do?
Otherwise, when everyone has ships? It’s not like having ships. If you really have enough ships, I’m afraid the daylily will be cold...
"Report! All are ready!"
The soldiers came to report.
Liao Hua nodded and was preparing to board the ship.
"Captain Captain..." The military academy following Liao Hua hurriedly stepped forward and pulled it, "Just as long as the captain is sitting in the formation behind, this...why should I go here?!"
Liao Hua shook his head, "I ordered them to take risks, and I also asked me to take them back...you go and perform your mission!"
The military academy had no choice but to take the order and leave.
Of course, this is indeed Liao Hua's idea. But more importantly, only when Liao Hua is on the front line can it be possible to adjust according to the actual situation. In particular, whether to increase the investment in the offensive or withdraw the soldiers, it is necessary to make decisions on the spot. If ordinary military academy is allowed to go, if you hesitate or make a mistake in judgment, then it is possible that all the soldiers in the two groups will be left here, and that will be a big loss!
Seeing that Liao Hua was determined, the guards took another set of armor and boarded the ship with Liao Hua with spare armor to prevent them from being protected if Liao Hua needed to go ashore to fight, they could wear armor on the outside, which would be equivalent to a piece of blood strip.
The boats are more convenient and faster than rafts, and the fleet is soon downstream.
Liao Hua stood on the deck of the ship and looked around. Suddenly, he watched the reeds on the shore gradually sparse, and he couldn't help but feel moved.
"Where did these reeds go?"
The reeds near this area of ​​Eagle Beak Bay were suddenly less likely to be gnawed by dogs.
I didn't pay much attention before, but when Liao Hua took a boat down the second time, he noticed it.
"It doesn't seem like I've been eaten by something, but it seems like I've been cut off..." The guard said, pointing to some reed gaps, "Look, the cuts over there are very neat..."
The reeds in spring are full of moisture and are not easy to burn, but if they are sprinkled with tinder oil, they can still be burned. It will also be accompanied by a lot of black smoke, which is burned and smoked, which is very sharp.
These reeds must have been cut off by Cao's army. When Liao Hua fought with Cao's army before, there was no trace of Cao's use of these reeds. So...
Where will these reeds be used?
Before Liao Hua could think of something, the sudden sound of fighting in the distance came to the sky, and then a fire rose!
"Captain! Our people are in the fight!"
"Cao Army! Cao Army has an ambush!"
『Don’t panic! Check the equipment!』
On top of the ship, Liao Hua's soldiers also began to prepare for battle.
"Over there!" Liao Hua stretched out his hand and said, "Prepare to fight! The front ship suppressed the archers on the shore, and the back ship rescued the fallen soldiers!"
Liao Hua glanced at him and guessed the general situation.
He saw Li Du and others under his command drifting in advance, and also saw Cao's archers shooting down on the shore.
In a little trouble, the heavy armored swords and shield hands in the Cao army array were like iron doors, or like reefs, blocking the surging tide of soldiers and delaying the speed of the Hussar soldiers' advance.
However, the arrangement of these Cao army soldiers did not seem to be anything special.
At most, it was the sword and shield hands of Cao's army wearing heavy armor, which showed that Cao's army was just a little prepared.
After all, this kind of heavy armor is not something you can wear when you want to wear it. You can change your clothes with one click. It takes a lot of time to put it on and take it off.
Although the battle situation in front of him is a bit Jiaozuo, since Liao Hua is prepared, it is impossible for the three hundred soldiers of the vanguard to die in vain. It seems that as long as you can open a gap, climb up, and defeat the archers, you will definitely win this battle, but is Cao Ren really just like that?
Liao Hua's ship approached the shore, and he jumped off the boat and "formed a formation!"
Seeing Liao Hua coming, the morale of the Hussar soldiers was immediately boosted.
Some of the ships docked, Liao Hua jumped off the boat, stood in the water on the shore, and looked around.
The landing conditions here are not very good, but one thing is commendable, that is, there is not much vegetation. This will make it more troublesome even if Cao's army wants to attack with fire.
As for the disadvantages, climbing a steep rock slope is not particularly difficult for the soldiers under Liao Hua!
Just open a gap and force Cao's army to change its formation, which will affect Cao Ren's formation in Yingzui Bay, thus breaking through this place!
"Prepare a certain player!"
Liao Hua said in a deep voice.
...
...
Liao Hua brought soldiers to support him, and the pressure on Cao's army's front suddenly increased.
When the news came to Cao Ren, Cao Ren was both surprised and happy.
What was shocked was that he didn't expect Liao Hua to have a two-stage jump, and what was happy was that if Liao Hua could really be killed here...
Even if you cannot kill it on the spot, just defeat it, it can greatly extend the time you hold on Yingzui Bay, allowing Cao's army to free up space to defeat another cavalry army.
After Li Dian got the Pass, he took a break for a while and collected wood around him to create some utensils. Obviously, these utensils were definitely not to add some family tables and beds to Cao Ren, but to prepare for the next step of attacking Xiangyang.
After all, there are no decent woods in the area around Xiangyang for more than 20 miles. Even if there are occasionally a few crooked trees, they often become trophys for woodcuts who do not want to go too far.
Xiangyang is not just Xiangyang. Many places with relatively large populations in the Han Dynasty have such problems.
Don’t look at some towns in later generations. The roads were covered with dense shade on both sides, and sometimes they were scraped on the roofs of small cars. Pollen floating in spring and leaves fell off in autumn. This not only increased the burden on sanitation workers, but also caused allergies and other things, making some people feel annoyed. However, if it was in ancient times, especially after the Song Dynasty, let alone big cities, even small towns that lived for a longer time would be bare around them!
There are no coal, oil, electricity and other energy sources to replace wood. People living in towns have been cutting down for hundreds of years. As long as there are more people, the amount consumed is greater than when they grow, and no forest can be sustained!
So it is obviously not possible to build siege equipment when you go to Xiangyang.
At the same time, Li Dian also began to understand that the stakes he brought with him had no problem fighting with the wind, but if you want to fight a tough battle...
It would be better to let these priests cut down trees and build utensils.
Although Cao Ren sent out the suicide squad and burned a wave of Li Dian's construction equipment, it is hard to say how much effect it is and how long it can be delayed. So if he could defeat Liao Hua first, he would have more confidence in defending against Xiangyang and Jingbei.
However, Cao Ren still had some doubts in his heart.
This is not the first time he has fought against Liao Hua.
During the fight with Liao Hua a few days ago, Cao Ren discovered that Liao Hua was actually a very thoughtful general and had rich experience that was completely inconsistent with his age. So Liao Hua was really so reckless now and was sent directly to the bottom of his nose?
Cao Ren took a few steps and did not go down to face Liao Hua, who was preparing to form a formation on the shore. Instead, he climbed up to the platform and looked around the mountain and saw the movements in other directions.
The shore was noisy, but other places were extremely quiet. Some birds flew out because of human screams and screams. Everything seemed normal.
"Transmission, send more posts to check the mountain road conditions!"
Cao Ren ordered.
"Which!" The messenger immediately went to the mountain road front to pass the order.
"Master, will this cavalry army attack from the mountain road at night?" The guard asked.
"Be prepared for any trouble!"
Cao Ren was about to say something when he heard a sudden chaotic noise on the Danshui shore. When he turned around, his face changed. While Cao Ren was still checking for any other movement around, the defensive front arranged on the Danshui shore was almost torn apart!
More and more Hussar soldiers were gathering, attacking and breaking through, so they could not tolerate Cao Ren thinking about anything else. They could only turn around and run off the platform immediately, facing Liao Hua, and ordering the rest of the arrangements on the water to launch an attack!
For the moment, the chance to win is whether Liao Hua can be left here forever!
As for the possible land attack on the mountain road, since I haven't seen it for the time being, Cao Ren can't delay it...
"Send the order! Fire ship attacks!"
Cao Ren lifted the trump card and threw it on the table.
Then he personally brought his people to fight against Liao Hua.
If he could cut off Liao Hua's head on the bank of Danshui, it would undoubtedly greatly boost Cao Jun's morale!
...
...
Above Danshui, in the Cao army's tower ship.
Captain Li of Cao Jun heard the roar from afar. Seeing the flames shaking, he couldn't help but remember the scene when he received Cao Ren's order...
In the wilderness, even in Cao Ren's tent, there was a bit of earth and fishy smell. When Li Zhengli knelt down in front of Cao Ren, he felt like he smelled the earth and smelled before the stone tablet when he went to the tomb sacrifice...
A pair of suede boots stopped three inches in front of him. Before Captain Li could see the dirt on it clearly, he felt Cao Ren's hand slap his shoulder and pull him up.
"General..." Li Zhengshi rolled his throat and had some bad premonition.
Sure enough, Cao Ren's voice was like an echo under the Nine Nethers, which made Captain Li feel cold all over his body, "You go to command the tower ship, if you succeed, your first contribution will be yours!"
『First achievements…』
Of course, Li Zhengwei wanted the first merit, but he also knew that this thing was not that easy to get.
Sure enough, Cao Ren's voice made him feel a chill behind his head, "Thirty urns of turtle oil on the building ship, fifteen urns of each of the bucket ships... When I ordered it, I would go forward in unison and burn it in one fell swoop..."
『General…』 Li’s voice was hoarse, as if swallowing rust, “The humble position is not to shirk…but to the humble position, it is not good at fighting. If this delays the general’s plan, it is better to find Cai…』
『I can't believe them!" Cao Ren said firmly, 『Can I believe you?!"
Cao Ren said this to this point, what else can Li Zheng say?
But……
Captain Li lowered his head and looked at the wooden boards of the stairs under his feet.
The wooden boards are old and creaked when they step on.
This tower ship was originally about to be burned, so naturally I wouldn't use any good ship.
When Li Zhengmao boarded the stairs, he felt that this guy could drive in Danshui, and whether he would fall apart halfway through...
However, it is obvious that even if the deck is creaking everywhere, as long as there is no water seepage, the building boat can still be used.
Anyway, it only needs to be used once.
So what about yourself?
Is it only used once?
Li Xiaowei didn't remember how he promised in front of Cao Ren. Anyway, he didn't have to use any number of clichés to say. He has said this for many years, and he subconsciously blurted out.
He must have patted his chest and expressed his confidence...
That's probably the case.
It's probably like a play.
Captain Li subconsciously walked into the cabin and saw the tinder oil tank inside the cabin, and couldn't help but feel a little numb.
The veteran in the cabin was inspecting it, but he didn't even respect him when he saw Captain Li coming, so he just tied the hemp rope in his hand to the tinder oil can.
"These tinea oils need to be looked at..."
Captain Li tried to find nothing to say.
"Don't worry..." The veteran in the cabin said slowly, "They were all buckled with the King of Hell... they couldn't be loose...
On the tinder oil jar, the thick hemp ropes were twisted into strange rings in the dark, like rope covers on the gallows.
Captain Li subconsciously swallowed his saliva, leaned over and knocked lightly, and the tinder oil jar made a dull echo.
He had seen many people die in this tinea oil...
In that tragic scene, the living human body was burned into coke in the flames, and the face and flesh were separated from the bones like black wax, falling off, and coking...
『Captain!』
The shouts outside the cabin made Captain Li tremble for a moment.
『The general sends an order! Attack immediately!』
