Chapter 14 - Helping Others

More than 200 steps across the coast of Huangxian County, the Liaodong sea ships were crossed one after another, and the sturdy sailors wearing thin leather armor with open arms threw down the anchors under the orders of the ships and fleets. With a terrible thud of chains, the cross anchor slammed to the bottom of the sea, and the battleship shook violently.

The sound of the call sounded in the bow of the ship, accompanied by the flag of the sailors decorated with five-color silk decorations, the Liaodong warships all faced the strong crossbows of Wuhan Iron and Steel towards the coastal port, and several sturdy sailors pulled the strings of the ballista with iron hooks, making a tooth-sour sound. Unloading the fire oil canister hanging from the spear in the naval battle, pressing the crossbow arm, with the flagship's command, hundreds of thick spears were projected to the shore of the harbor with a strong force carrying the spears through a distance of two hundred paces, penetrating one after another Bohai Navy soldiers complete armor...... This is far more frightening than the rain of arrows in the battle of the land army.

Although the bow and crossbow are strong, they are a hundred paces away, and the iron armor can be defended. Although there are few ballistas, they cannot be prevented by iron armor.

The voice of the military marquis shouting military orders on the shore stopped abruptly, and when the soldiers looked in his direction in a daze, they found that their military marquis wearing heavy iron armor had been hit by the terrifying spear, and the whole body limbs were strangely shot over more than ten steps away, the shattered iron armor in the chest broke through a fist-sized hole, and the internal organs in the body sprinkled a piece of red and yellow on the ground.

It's horrible.

The soldiers from Jizhou had never even seen what the spear-throwing weapons on the Liaodong ship were, and the fear of the unknown made them disobey the orders of the officers and howl and hug their heads along the coastline.

Just a rain of crossbow arrows was projected on the coast, and this was only the beginning, and the enemy's defensive army along the coast collapsed, making Tian Yu smile on his face. With the swing of the ring knife, the sailors on the stern of more than 100 fighting ships put down their strains and rowed towards the shore with all their might, and more sailors drew their full bows on the fighting ships and shot out.

"Wu, Wuhan Iron and Steel crossbow?"

Yuan Shao was insightful, and from a distance, he saw those Liaodong warships suddenly projecting crossbow arrows with thick forearms on the sea, and the earth-shattering sight made him tremble...... He knew the weapons that the Liaodong people nailed to the ship!

Lu Weihuang brandished his weapon and rushed to the front of the formation, and shouted at the soldiers who were scurrying with red faces: "Don't retreat, block the coast, and repel those who are walking!" ”

But no matter how powerful he is, he can't avoid the result of the defeat of the army...... Although there have always been troops stationed on the coast, and even after they succeeded in their sneak attack on the port of Huangxian, more than 2,000 soldiers were specially dispatched to guard the river bank and the city of Huangxian with the Bohai Sea guards, but the Liaodong naval army came too quickly and quickly, and they were killed on a large scale.

Just witnessing the Bohai warship being burned and scuttled on the surface of the sea is enough to be terrifying. Not to mention that before they could touch the enemy's edge, they were shot over by the spears and crossbows thrown from the sea, and as long as the crossbows on the warship did not stop, these soldiers would never dare to stand on the shore and line up.

Arraying is tantamount to looking for death!

Under the dense formation, that kind of spear is inserted one by one!

If the Wuhan Iron and Steel crossbow defeated the Bohai Sea Army in terms of momentum, and the sandalwood bow shot the soldiers gathered together on the shore intensively on the line during the charge, then the strong crossbow made in Liaodong was the last straw that broke the camel's back and made the Bohai Navy scatter!

It is easy to use a bow on a boat, but how to use a crossbow on a walker that rises and falls when it is beaten by the waves?

The Liaodong soldiers can use it, not only do they use it, but the crossbowmen who operate the crossbow are still the oars who don't look good before, these sturdy Liaodong Han'er stopped their walkers on the shore, and one by one they raised their strong crossbows with good strings next to themselves, and took advantage of the sandalwood archers wading ashore to shoot when they raised their hands to shoot on the water, even if they were up and down, it was difficult to affect the strong crossbow with Zilong in their hands, and accurately shot every nearby enemy who tried to rush forward but crashed into the Wangshan.

Lu Weihuang became more and more angry, and became more and more panicked, he could not restrain his subordinates, no matter how he shouted, and even personally slashed the two routs who ran in front of him, but he still could not contain his subordinates from falling into the desert and fled, seeing that hundreds of enemy troops stopped on the shore, put down nearly a thousand soldiers and then sailed back to the fighting ship, such a good opportunity for surprise but his soldiers were indifferent.

Especially, Yuan Gong was watching with his own eyes from behind!

Is this a defeat? If this is a defeat, he Lu Weihuang will inevitably be too confused! The two sides did not engage at all, and the soldiers under their own subordinates were like ghosts when they saw the enemy, and the soldiers who were strict in their actions as soon as the order came out in the past have changed their virtues today, and where is the majesty when they defeated the defenders of Huangxian County! They were even inferior to those soldiers of the Yanbei Army when they raided Huangxian a few days ago!

Yuan Shao didn't want to just watch the soldiers under his banner collapse, and he didn't even have the slightest heart to fight, but he was not a person who didn't know soldiers. In the current situation, no one is powerless!

There is a problem with the crossbows of the Liaodong sailors, their sandalwood bows are very good, and even the strong crossbow of Wuhan Iron and Steel that only the official craftsmen of the Han Dynasty can make come from...... Yuan Shao found out, but he didn't have the slightest idea of delving into it, and there was only one problem worth thinking about.

Where did this army come from!

His fleet had just captured Beichangshan Island yesterday, and there was only one garrison of more than 100 troops on the island, and they were wiped out in an instant. There are 170 to 200 miles of sea route from North Changshan Island to Liaodong, and more than 200 miles of sea route to Wenxian County.

The problem behind this made Yuan Shao feel a bone-chilling chill from the back of his head to his tail vertebrae.

It is difficult to make peace, Yanbei negotiated peace with himself in Jizhou, and sent a horse from Youzhou to Liaodong, so that Wenxian Shuizhai raided Donglai...... Only in this way can it be reasonable. This naval army clearly set sail from Liaodong when it seized Qingzhou and set off, so that it can now reach Donglai!

If this is the case, it will be bad, Yanbei will not only attack Donglai, Bohai is only afraid, and it will be over.

The unprovoked speculation made Yuan Shao feel that the sky was spinning, he turned over and swung his whip one after another, dodging a spear shot from his side, and galloped all the way behind Lu Weihuang, shouting in a low voice: "Don't let the soldiers attack, withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops...... All of them withdrew to the city of Huangxian, they had crossbows on their ships, and the coast could not be defended! ”

A whimpering horn sounded on the coast, and Yuan's army withdrew in the direction of the city like a tide, handing over the entire coast to the Liaodong naval army. The five-color silk flagship Ueda Yu laughed more than once, looking at the embarrassed appearance of the enemy's withdrawal, he was about to order his subordinates to rest on the coast and take advantage of the situation to attack the city, when he saw thousands of people floating over to this side in the distance and near the sea, and the first seven or eight zhang fighting ships slowly sailed slowly, and the people on the boat shouted loudly: "But the subordinates of General Yan of Youzhou, Wen Junhou attacked Yuan, and a certain brother Guan Hai and Guan Cheng came to help!" ”
