Chapter 71: The Siege 4

When the sun came out, the Nancheng Water Gate suddenly sailed out of the large-winged war boat flying the battle flag. The master of the boat stood on the deck of the first boat, holding the landing mirror and looking at the mouth of the lake three miles away. I can't tell that there is no lake, where there is only a dense Qin army with tens of thousands of records. The morning breeze blew, and the flags at the rear of the army were fluttering, setting off the red morning sun that had just risen above the horizon.

The sun is not conducive to observation, but fortunately, the mouth of the lake is the place where the boatmaster enters every day, and under Xiongjing's strict order, the boatmaster has already carried out hydrological surveys there. The pontoons that marked the deep water area were gone, but any qualified captain knew where the channel was. It's just that everyone knows where the channel is, but they don't know how wide the bridge of the Qin people is; There are also copper cables, and no one knows how many copper cables there are underwater, and they can't be seen on the water.

"Herald!" The red mob who put down the mirror shouted, "Take the risk of quickly clearing the underwater copper cable." ”

"The general has an order to remove the underwater copper rope as quickly as possible." The Command Boat is different from the ordinary Winged Boat, with a few more signal flag-bearers. After the flag-bearer gave the order, the four ships roared and sailed like arrows to the mouth of the lake.

The draft of the new-style large-wing warship is 1.1 meter, and the Maotu is a small boat of less than 10 tons, with a draft of less than 0.6 meters. If the copper rope of the Qin army wanted to be effective, it could only be arranged above a meter under the water. The water of the lake is so clear that it can be found at a depth of one meter, and all the Raider has to do now is to find the copper rope and destroy it with an iron hook.

On the wide lake, four ships with the flag of the Chu army rushed forward, and the war drums of the Qin army were immediately beaten, and the crossbow array was ready to be shot. It's just that there is a shield on the outrage, and the crossbow arrow may not be able to hurt people.

The Raid was getting closer and closer, close enough to be within range of the Stretching Crossbow. The commander of the crossbow array couldn't help it anymore and shouted, 'Shoot!' ’。 A rain of black arrows flew towards the four ships. The rain of arrows was too dense and the target was too small, and the arrows frequently crashed into each other and fell into the lake as they fell. But this was only a few, and more arrows rained down on the shields, on the side of the ship, and on the fluttering flags.

"Row, stroke!" Mao Tu was so beaten by the rain of arrows that some of the arrows even fell into the cabin, and the men immediately changed color, and the captain of the boat stepped on the arrows without care, and continued to order them to paddle.

"Shoot!" In order to stop the boat division of the Chu army, Xin Wu not only mobilized the strong crossbows of the Qin army, but also mobilized the strong crossbows of the Wei army. The crossbows defending the city also moved a lot - since the crossbows shot from the city wall can pull down the vehicles outside the city, then with this kind of crossbow, they can also capture the large wing warships of the Chu army. It's a pity that now it's a raid, and the crossbow can't shoot arrows.

Arrows rained down, and the four Venturers quickly shot into hedgehogs, but the boat continued to move on. The boat officials and armor soldiers carried the Qin army on their backs and scanned the lake, and finally, they found a copper rope three feet below the water's surface.

"Hook up!" The captain of the boat gave the order, and the hook and sickle of the armor hooked the copper rope.

"Withdraw. Remove. At this time, the assault was only a dozen steps away from the Qin army on the bridge, and the assault that hooked the copper rope began to draw back.

This was true of one, as were the other two, with only one remaining, swimming back and forth above the copper cable. Looking at the rope left behind by the repatriated protrusion, the deputy general Anqi felt bad. He saluted and said, "General, the Jing people want to pull out my copper rope." ”

"Pull it out." Li Xin also saw the rope left under the water, and he had no intention of using a repeater. "There are sharpshooters in the army, can you shoot those ropes?"

The rope that hooked the copper rope floated on the surface of the water and was not straightened. It wasn't until he sailed two hundred paces away that he knotted the ropes on the hooks thrown by the two large wings, and these ropes stretched out of the water and pulled straight. The two big wings pulled a rope, and to the sound of the drums, the boat's hands rowed with all their might. The copper rope was immediately pulled out ......of the water, and the section caught by the hook and sickle was drawn into an obtuse angle, and the iron hook and the copper rope rattled with this force.

"Shoot!" Even if the copper rope was pulled out by the hook and sickle, it was only twenty steps from the bridge, and it was not difficult to shoot at such a close distance. It's just that the arrows are all cone-shaped armor-piercing arrows, not rope-cutting arrows, and the angle is not right, the direction of the arrows is along the direction of the rope, not vertically cut off, so everyone saw that there were many arrows inserted on the rope, but the copper rope was pulled farther and farther, and finally with a 'snap', the wooden pillars that hit the bottom of the lake at both ends of the copper cable were pulled up, and a copper rope was pulled away by the Chu army.

The copper cable is not a bamboo cable, but there are eight copper cables in front of the transfer bridge, and half of it is gone at once. When Li Xin's expression was not moving, Juzi Yan Wuyi couldn't help it, and when he looked at the sudden boat coming again, he said: "General, if the copper rope is exhausted, the Jingren Boat Division will hit the bridge." ”

"Don't worry, the master didn't worry, what I was going to ask for was the Jingren Boat Master hitting the bridge." The corners of Li Xin's mouth smiled, and after he finished speaking, he said, "Doesn't the Great Engineer want to take a look at the Jing people's Great Wing Warboat?" ”

In the Great Liang Water Battle, all the buildings and ships that Shaofu had painstakingly built were sunk by the Chu Junzhou Division. Like Jing Crossbow, Yan Wuyi and these people couldn't imagine how the Chu Army's Great Wing Warboat could do this. The Qin army's large-winged warboat hit the building ship, but the result was either that it could not be hit or the large-wing warboat crashed into the bow of the boat. Hearing that Li Xin was going to capture the Chu army's big wing warboat, Yan Wuyi immediately kept silent.

'Knock knock knock-' After the four copper cables were removed, the building drum on the Great Wing Warship sounded again. This time the arrow finally broke the two ropes, which caused more Darres to gallop over, and the last two copper cables were also pulled out under the cover of the Raiders.

"Prepare the repeater!" Looking at the big-winged warship in the distance, Li Xin secretly drank to the left and right.

"Repeater ready!" The order was passed down layer by layer, and the crossbows behind the Qin army's array were wound one after another, just waiting for the big wings to come.

"Crash Turn!" The big wing where the red one was located finally gave this order. The four large-winged warships, which had already been aimed at the deep-water channel, roared and rushed towards the Zhuanguan Bridge at a speed of ten knots, while the remaining sixteen large-winged warships were lined up in four formations, waiting two hundred paces away.

'Knock knock knock—' the sound of the drum was mixed with the shouts of the wingers. Li Xin thought that when he captured the big winged hand, the speeding war boat gave him a blow to the head. Two hundred paces away from the Great Wing rushed over in five seconds, five seconds was already short, plus the crossbow commander was frightened by the speed of the Great Wing, and when they wanted to shoot arrows, the four Great Wings had already rushed in front of them.

'Boom, boom——! There were four loud bangs, the water splashed several feet, and the Qin soldiers on the Zhuanguan Bridge were knocked into the air, and the Zhuanguan itself was shaking, and almost all the crossbows were lost when they were shot, and only a few hit the target. But this didn't help, the four big wings began to row back after the collision, and just as the Qin soldiers on the turn pulled up the ropes on the crossbows and wanted to leave the retreating big wings, the other four big wing warships collided through the gap in the front row.

"Boom, boom——!" The first impact directly destroyed the first turn, knocked the second one wrong, and the second hit broke the second and third turns, and the Qin soldiers who stood on the bridge and wanted to hold the big wings were not stable at all, how could they stop the rope at the end of the crossbow, they could only watch the first batch of big wings go quickly.

Immediately after that, the third row of big wings hit fiercely. At this time, the transfer bridge 'bang!' It was completely broken. The four big wings did not disappear and rushed directly into the chasm waterway. The four big wings in the fourth row were no longer aiming to turn the pass, but collided with the Qin soldiers floating in the water. The armor soldiers on the boat braved the rain of arrows to stab the Qin soldiers in the water with hooks, sickles, and spears, and the scene was chaotic for a while, and the remaining Qin soldiers and soldiers on the transfer gate hid on the shore one after another.

"Shoot!" The crossbow and the twelve-stone crossbow began to shoot at the large-winged warboat, and some of the armorers on the boat fell with arrows, but the armorers killed the Qin soldiers in the water more violently. At this time, the fifth row of wings slammed into it rapidly, and this time it was no longer the deep water area of fifty paces, but the shallow water areas on both sides of the deep water area.

'Boom' a few times, although the big wing was stranded in the mud, but the bridge that was hit was all broken. At this time, the boat officials stayed, and the armor soldiers and suffeurs at the head of the boat didn't care about killing the Qin pawns in the water, and ran to the back end of the boat together, and the rest of the men rowed with the strength of milk. With the bow of the boat raised, the already stranded Bigwing Warship slowly retreated into the deep water.

"Hooray! Banzai! Long live the boatmaster!! "When the boat division collided, including Xiong Jing, they all stood on the east city gate, and there were even more onlookers. When the first row of big wings collided, they wanted to shout long live, but as soon as the Qin army fired the crossbow, the word "long live" was immediately swallowed by them, and it was not until the continuous impact completely broke the Qin people's Zhuanguan Bridge that they shouted long live.

"Good fight!" Xiong Jing smiled, very satisfied with the command of the red moth. The strength can be broken, and the Qin people are not cunning in ambushing the crossbows, but they underestimate the speed and strength of the large-wing warship, and they lack understanding of the ferocious aggressiveness of the boat master.

"Great King, the Qin people should not be underestimated." Lian Po was standing on Xiong Jing's side, and he also applauded this wonderful collision battle in his heart, but the mouth of the lake in autumn and winter was too narrow, and this time the Qin army was caught off guard by turning the pass, and next time it will not be so simple.

"Then wait for Yingdu to send the grain quickly." Xiong Jing retracted his smile. The flying pole thirty miles outside Chen Ying's city was destroyed by the Qin army, and he is now in a state of disconnection. Therefore, each of the big wings involved in the collision received an order, that is: after crashing out of the East Lake, go straight to the nearest flying station, quickly inform Yingdu Chen that the Yingying waterway was cut off by the Qin army, and ask Yingdu to send grain and armaments to Chen as soon as possible.

"How could Master Jing Ren be so fierce? How could the bridge of the transition be...... It's like a Trojan horse! It's like a Trojan horse! Most of the Qin army didn't know how to water, and seeing the thousands of soldiers floating in the lake being killed by the Chu army, Li Xin couldn't wait to jump into the water.

Yan Wuyi, who was beside him, heard that he criticized Zhuan Guan as a Tuniu Trojan horse, his face was instantly congested and red, and his eyes looked at him even more viciously. Zhuan Guan is a masterpiece of the Mo family, and it is unique in the world, how can he allow Li Xin to slander it.
