The three hundred and fortieth chapters are all heroes (eighteen)
Chapter 341: All the heroes (18)
At the mouth of Sanjiang River, fires surged, blood flowed everywhere, and killing sounds were everywhere. The river water that was soothing like an elegant woman in the past became a pig-killer who drank wine. It was wild and full of blood, making people feel miserable.
People in the Shura field face fierce enemies and forget their fear. Perhaps, they have no time to fear at all.
The Wuping Navy Yang Shiling was hit by a crossbow arrow on his left arm. The thick crossbow arrows pulled his arm off, and blood flowed down his arm like a stream. Chen Mi, a military officer, was even more miserable. His chest was pierced by a thick crossbow arrow. The crossbow arrows had a huge impact and nailed him to the board behind him.
The power of the Western Shu crossbow is fully revealed.
When the Wuping Navy broke through the blockade of the catapult car, the two armies were ready to start the battle on the sidelines. Yang Shiling still did not avoid the sword and arrow, and stood at the bow of the ship to command the battle. This was a common move that Yang Shiling used to fight the Southern Tang Navy. The Wuping Navy was in danger several times. With Yang Shiling's persistence, he could maintain his morale and finally turn defeat into victory.
This time, facing a strong enemy, Yang Shiling held a hard bow in his hand and left his straight figure to his subordinates to increase their confidence in combat.
Just as Wuping's warship approached the enemy ship, the Zhou army's warship flew over a dense hail-like crossbow arrow, far beyond Yang Shiling's experience.
This is a new weapon of the Great Zhou navy - the Western Shu crossbow showing its power.
The Western Shu crossbow was once the weapon of victory for the Black Eagle Army. After Hou Dayong took control of the Great Zhou court, the main force of the Black Eagle Army gradually moved from northwest to Daliang, with a population of 50,000, which was Hou Dayong's most direct unit. However, there were tens of thousands of imperial guards and Yangtze River naval troops led by generals such as Han Tong, Xiang Xun, Yuan Yan and other generals. These troops followed Chai Rong to fight in the south and north. They can also be called the Great Zhou army's taxes.
How to firmly control these troops has become an important issue facing Hou Dayong.
The Yangtze River Navy has always been elite, but they have been stationed on the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River for a long time. Except for the chief general, they have not had close relations with the imperial court. Hou Dayong saw this and promoted Weng Ming, the leader of the Yangtze River Navy, to Duke of Jin, and transferred him to Daliang to hold an empty position in Taishi. He ordered Yang Lehe to lead the Yangtze River Navy as the deputy general.
Hou Dayong then transferred Yang Lehe and other generals of the Yangtze River Navy to the Bian River Navy to train. When he first came, Yang Lehe was still arrogant. After seeing the power of using catapults to the Western Shu crossbow, he had experienced a long battle formation and immediately realized that these two things were treasures. Although he was not soft in his mouth, his attitude had changed positively. He not only carefully observed the training, but also proposed to add catapults and Western Shu crossbows to the Yangtze River Navy.
In order to win over this elite water force, Hou Dayong immediately agreed to Yang Lehe's request. Shortly after Yang Lehe returned to the Yangtze River Navy, the Western Shu crossbow and catapulted cart were transported by the Bian River Navy.
Although Yang Lehe had a dark face, he looked thick and dry. His heart was like a mirror. He accepted these weapons calmly, which meant that he accepted Hou Dayong's order.
He was a natural master of water warfare and was extremely sensitive to new weapons. After the Western Shu crossbow came to the navy, he immediately sent the smartest sergeants to operate this powerful weapon. By the time the Sanjiangkou water war began, the navy soldiers had already mastered this precious weapon.
When the Wuping Navy broke through the blockade of the catapult cart, Yang Lehe stared at the Yuhuang ship, the largest land. At this time, the sun had risen to mid-air, and the sunlight shot from east to west. It was particularly dazzling when Yang Shiling's armor made of fine iron. Yang Lehe saw this special reaction and smiled: "This must be the reflection of the enemy general's armor. If you can use such good armor, you must not be an ordinary person." He raised his voice and ordered: "The Western Shu crossbow that gathered the entire ship to shoot this person off."
The ship general behind him, Wu Fei, said: "The Western Shu crossbow is on both sides of the side of the ship. It can only be launched by the four fronts at most."
Why is the Western Shu crossbow made so exquisite? You can launch ten pieces at a time, and four pieces are launched at the same time. There are only forty pieces. Yang Lehe waved his hand and said, "Four pieces are four pieces, let me see it right, and shoot hard."
Forty thick crossbow arrows attacked Yang Shiling, the Wuping Army, with the sound of wind and thunder. When Yang Shiling heard the strange sound, the crossbow arrows were already close at hand. He hurriedly bent down to avoid it, but he was still one step late, and felt a pain in his left arm and was shot by a strong crossbow.
Yang Shiling's personal guards were mostly injured and killed by shooting in the crossbows in Western Sichuan. Several personal guards who escaped by chance saw the commander standing in the local area like a wandering soul, quickly pressed him down on the side of the ship. They all had armor on their bodies, which was inconvenient to tear the cloth strips. A small leader bent over to come to Chen Mi, tore a piece of clothing over, and after returning to Yang Shiling, he scolded at a dazed soldier: "What are you doing when you are stunned? Go and get the medicine."
The soldier had just stood up and another row of crossbow arrows shot. He was so lucky that he was hit by four arrows. He was driven up by the powerful force of the crossbow arrows and was nailed to the board again.
Another Wu Ping sergeant never dared to get up again. He lay on the ship armor, crawled with his hands and feet quickly. After entering the ship warehouse, he brought a bag of gold-invasive medicine and came back. Several soldiers wrapped Yang Shiling's arms with broken arms. Yang Shiling, who had been forced to hold, was bleeding too much and began to dizzy. He pushed the guard away and said, "Help me up." The guard hurriedly said, "The enemy's crossbow arrows are damaging. If you can't stand up, let's go into the ship warehouse."
Yang Shiling started to feel chills all over, and his broken arm began to hurt violently. Beads of sweat flowed down from his chilled forehead, and he forced himself to say to his guard: "Get a few big shields, I want to stand up."
At this time, the Yu Emperor was surrounded by Yang Lehe's warship and two Xuan Jiao ships. Countless hooks and guns were placed on the side of the ship. The Yu Emperor's soldiers suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Western Shu crossbow. The remaining soldiers were all devastated. When the Zhou army's hooks and guns hooked the ship's side, no one dared to cut off the hooks and guns. Seeing this, Yang Shiling cursed angrily: "The Zhou army is not allowed to board the ship."
When Yang Shiling saw the Zhou army jumping onto the ship frantically, he also recovered from his shock. When he heard Yang Shiling's order, he picked up his sword and shot towards Zhou army. Soon, the sound of swords and guns colliding sounded at the side of the ship, the sound of slashing into bones, and the screams before death.
At this time, the Wuping Navy and the Great Zhou Changjiang Navy had completely mixed together. Sanjiangkou was like a pot, with warships chasing, attacking, and running around.
The Xuanlong ship and the Yuhuang ship all have sharp corners in front, which are used to crash into the enemy ship. The vanguard officer Zhang Jingding commanded and smashed a Xuanjiao ship. He accidentally saw that the ship was surrounded by Wu Ping's command, and immediately ordered: "Crash towards the enemy ship." At this time, it was already a chance to survive and die, and Zhang Jingding did not have any disputes between the Zhang family and the Yang family in his heart.
Zhang Jingding's Yuhuang Ship rushed towards Yang Le and Di Xuanlong Ship at full speed. Before the big ship approached, a Xuanlong Ship rushed over from the flank. This ship has always followed the Yangtze River Navy command ship, which is a protection ship and a replacement ship when the command ship encounters an accident. The commander is the deputy general Quan Guangming. He commanded the Xuanlong Ship and hit the hull of Zhang Jingding's ship from the flank. The corner of the Xuanlong Ship hit a big hole in Zhang Jingding's ship.
The flanks of the Yuhuang ship were made of extremely hard iron wood. Although a big hole was broken, it did not affect the safety of the warship. The hull of the warship shook violently, but it was separated from the Xuanlong ship. Zhang Jingding was concerned about the safety of the command ship and shouted: "Don't slow down." The Yuhuang warship still rowed towards the warship where Yang Shiling was.
Quan Guangming cursed, "It's so slippery." Before he finished speaking, an iron arrow broke through the air from the smoke and penetrated hard into Quan Guangming's throat. The arrow came so fast that it had pierced Quan Guangming's throat. Quan Guangming covered his throat with his breath and turned backwards with some reluctance.
Zhang Jingding turned his head and shot an arrow, regardless of whether he shot it or not, put down his strong bow in his heart and took the thick long-handled sword. He felt that the big ship was shocked and had knocked away a mysterious dragon ship surrounding Yang Shiling's command ship. After the warship was hit, it turned direction and just leaned against Yang Shiling's warship.
"Follow me." Zhang Jingding, with more than fifty Wuping soldiers, flew onto Yang Shiling's warship.
Yang Shiling was already in danger. There were 300 soldiers in Yuhuang's warship. At this time, only more than 30 guards surrounded Yang Shiling. Yang Shiling held a long spear in his left hand and supported his body with a long spear. His body was about to fall.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou Navy were about to capture the head of the Wuping Navy, and their morale was greatly boosted. They all bravely moved forward. When Zhang Jingding jumped onto the warship, the Zhou army immediately divided dozens of people. One of them was carrying a spear and wearing armor. It was Wu Fei, the commander of the Zhou army. He looked at Zhang Jingding's armor and knew that he was a general, so he didn't say anything. He stabbed Zhang Jingding in the chest with a shot.
Zhang Jingding raised his knife to block it, but the spear quickly pulled back like a poisonous snake that spitted out a letter. Wu Fei was very flexible. Before Zhang Jingding could attack, the tip of the spear trembled and stabbed Zhang Jingding's abdomen.
Zhang Jingding's big sword quickly spun a small circle, and the spear and the big sword met. Zhang Jingding felt his arm shock, and the opponent's strength was unexpectedly great.
Wu Fei was also uncomfortable. He was about to withdraw his gun. A light flashed in front of him. The opponent's big sword was astonishingly fast. The blade had reached his forehead. Wu Fei was extremely skilled in Wu Fei, and he was not panicked in danger. The spear was hard to move upwards and retreated quickly at the same time.
With a "defying" sound, Wu Fei took off his spear and there was a crack in his helmet. At this time, several soldiers stabbed him with spears and blocked Zhang Jingding. Wu Fei secretly called out "Good Hell". He took the crossbow of the Five Tiger Generals from his waist. This was the self-defense weapon that Hou Dayong gave him when Wu Fei was trained at the Bianhe Naval Division.
