Chapter 680: You're on the shore, I'm in the water, you're coming to bite me!

（0680）

.

As a commander of the forward battalion, Du Hu Chan is very conscientious about his work. His loyalty to Huang Taiji is absolutely unquestionable. Huang Taiji asked him to go to the south of the Hutuo River to find the whereabouts of the Tiger Ben Army, and Du Hu Chan desperately searched for the whereabouts of the Hu Ben Army on the south bank of the Hutuo River, and as a result, he searched all the way to Dezhou.

After arriving in Dezhou City, Du Hu Chan wholeheartedly monitored the movements of Dezhou City. As a result, he soon found out that Zhang Zhun was in Dezhou City, so he immediately sent someone to report to Huang Taiji. It's just that because the Tiger Army's firearms are too powerful and have too long a range, he doesn't dare to get too close. The scouts of the forward battalion did not dare to get too close.

When Zhang Zhun left, the forward battalion did not know. Because, Zhang Zhun left quietly. When Zhang Zhun came back, the forward battalion immediately found out. Because, when Zhang Zhun came back, he came back from Linqing by boat. Thirty boats, connected to each other, look so spectacular that it is impossible not to be discovered by the Tartars.

There is a big difference between a boat and a sea boat. Because there is no wind and waves in the inland river, the water in the pond is very deep, and the speed of movement is not fast. After all, inland rivers are relatively narrow, and if you sail fast, you are prone to accidents. Thirty ships sailed slowly on the top of the canal, and it was impossible for the Tartar scouts, even idiots, not to notice.

The scouts of the forward battalion, when they were still more than ten miles away from Texas, found the trace of the boat, and immediately flew to report to the capital of Huchan. After Duhu Chan and Jia Sera arrived in Dezhou City, the two simply divided labor. Gasala was in charge of the east side of the city of Dezhou, and Duhu Chan was in charge of the west side of the city of Texas. The cao boat came from the southwest, and naturally entered the sphere of influence of Duhu Chan.

"Han dog's food ship!"

Du Hu Chan is not stupid, he will recognize it immediately.

Almost without thinking, Du Hu Chan wanted to intercept all these boats. You don't need to ask to know that the boat must be carrying heavy grain. Food is one of the most needed materials for the Dajin Army.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Order them to land!"

Du Hu Chan immediately ordered.

The canal near Texas is about 80 meters wide, and the boats travel in the middle, about 30 meters from the shore. The cavalry archers of the Dajin Army, standing on the shore, can still shoot arrows at the boats. According to Du Hu Chan's estimate, as long as the boat was shot by an arrow, it should have succumbed. There didn't seem to be any guards on top of those boats.

"Da Da Da!"

Under the orders of Du Hu Chan, a Tartar battalion of Niu Lu began to approach the shore, ready to release arrows. The Tartars of the forward battalion were of the finest weapons, including their bows and arrows. Under normal circumstances, they can shoot arrows from a distance of 80 meters. However, in order to ensure the lethality of the arrowhead, it is best to have a range of less than 40 meters.

Because the shore is relatively wet, there are more weeds and the like on the tidal flats, so the war horses of the Tartars do not dare to be too fast, so they can only slowly come up. Otherwise, as soon as the speed is fast, it will rush directly into the canal. Part of the Tartars, even getting off horseback, hiked close to the shore.

Due to the terrain conditions, the war horse is at least fifty or sixty meters away from the boat. But people are different. The distance between the people and the boat was only less than thirty meters. Putting an arrow at a distance of thirty meters could not be more suitable. At such a distance, the Tartars of the forward battalion, confidently shot arrows through the human body.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

However, before the Tartars could release their arrows, countless muzzles suddenly appeared on the boat, and they opened fire one after another. The deafening sound of gunfire instantly broke the tranquility of the Grand Canal. Patches of white smoke from the firing of firearms continued to drift across the canal.

The boat, which was originally stable, also shook slightly due to the rapid movement of the personnel. The ship's mast swayed constantly, driving the sails to creak and rattle. The water splashed constantly, and the ripples spread to the shore in circles and circles.

A dense burst of gunfire rang out, and the tartars on the shore fell one after another. They were caught off guard, and this time they really suffered a big loss. Who would have thought that the boat, which seems harmless to humans and animals on the surface, would suddenly burst out so many firebolts? Moreover, as soon as the fire on the Cao ship was fired, almost all the Tartars were judged. Damn, this is the fire of the Tiger Army!

"Tiger Army!"

Some of the tartars cried out in a lost voice.

Those who hid on the ship and shot were none other than the Tiger Ben army of the forward battalion who were eager to eat their flesh raw!

To be precise, the Tiger Ben Army on the Cao Boat is a soldier of the Tiger Ben Army Marine Corps. Like the dragoon battalion, they all quickly arrived to join Zhang Zhun in Linqing after receiving the order. Previously, the fighters of the Marine Corps fought on the sea. This was their first time in the canal. Compared to the wind and waves at sea, the canal is as calm as a training ground.

As a result, as soon as they fired, the Tartars on the shore fell in a row. Unlike other Tiger soldiers, the Marines practiced shooting at rocking ships. The shaking of the warships at sea was much more intense than that of the boats on the inland rivers. They can shoot accurately at sea, and naturally in the canals.

was thinking about snatching the Tartar of the boat, but he didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of the Tiger Army again. The idiots can see that the Tiger Army deliberately hid before, and then let the Dajin Army get closer. Moreover, they were also very cunning, and hid until the Dajin army approached, and then suddenly opened fire. The Tartars on the shore suffered such a strong counterattack that they lost hundreds of people in an instant.

After the gunshots rang out, the banks of the canal could be described as a mess. Some of the Tartars, after being killed, fell directly into the canal, dyeing the river red. Some of the tartars lay in the grass on the shore, their bodies gurgling and bleeding out. There are also tartars, after falling from the war horse, their feet are still buckled in the stirrups, and they are dragged back all the way back by the retreating war horse, leaving a long bloody path behind the body.

No matter how fierce and elite the Tartars of the forward battalion are, they are all the same in front of the Tiger Army. Their armor can't stop the impact of Minnie bullets. As long as you are hit by Minnie's bullet, you don't want to have a good life, and if you don't die, you will be crippled. What's more, the distance between the two sides is so short, and the tiger basically has no chance to miss. Almost all guns hit the nail on the head. Thus, the first contact between the Tartar Forward Battalion and the Tiger Army ended with the beating of the Forward Battalion.

"Zhang Zhun!"

"Zhang Zhun is on the boat!"

I don't know which Tartar's eyes were very sharp, and he actually saw Zhang Zhun who disappeared in a flash. That's right, Zhang Zhun did appear deliberately for about half a minute, and then disappeared quickly and mysteriously. However, this half a minute was enough time for the Tartar to identify him.

This exclamation suddenly poured the blood of Du Hu Chan's whole body to the top of his head. He even immediately forgot about the casualties of the troops. In an instant, there was only one thought that echoed repeatedly in his mind - Zhang Zhun was on the boat! Jang Joon is on board! Zhang Zhun was on the boat in front of him! Strongly driven by this thought, Du Hu Chan had only one decision, and that was to kill Zhang Zhun!

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

Du Hu Chan roared desperately.

Zhang Zhun was actually on top of the boat, this news was too shocking. Du Hu Chan didn't have time to analyze it carefully before he believed this judgment. Almost without thinking, Du Hu Chan subconsciously leaned forward, eager to fly over, and grabbed Zhang Zhun at once. In other words, the Dajin army was eager to eat Zhang Zhun raw.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The remaining forward battalion Tartars fired arrows one after another.

One by one, the arrows roared away and landed on the top of the boat.

However, the Tiger Ben army on the ship has long been prepared. In front of them, thick planks were erected. They were shooting from behind the planks. This kind of wooden plank is somewhat similar to the wooden plank of Qi Jiajun's partial van, with only a small shooting hole on it. As a result, the arrows hit the top of the planks one after another, making a tuk-tuk sound. Some of the arrows fell, and some of them stuck directly into the top of the plank.

"Damn it!"

"Cunning Han Dog!"

As soon as Duhu Chan saw this posture, he knew that his arrows did not work.

It is not easy to shoot through a thick wooden board with a simple arrowhead. These planks prepared by the Tiger Army look at least two fingers thick. No matter how ferocious the arrow is shot at the plank, it will not be able to penetrate. On the contrary, because of the proximity to the archery, the Tartars on the shore have become the target of the Tiger Army, and they are easily hit by the Tiger Army and fall to the ground.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Keep firing the arrows!"

Du Hu Chan continued to roar fiercely.

He's not reconciled, he's really not reconciled. The distance between the Tiger Army's canal is so close. It's as if you can grab each other as soon as you reach out. If you can't catch each other in such a situation, it will be even more difficult at other times. Therefore, even if there are certain casualties, it is worth it.

The other forward battalion Tartars have the same thoughts as Du Hu Chan. In their opinion, this time is the closest they have ever been to Zhang Zhun. They all secretly swore that they must work hard to catch Zhang Zhun. If you can't catch him, kill him. No matter what the price is, as long as you can catch Zhang Zhun, it will be worth it.

From top to bottom of Dajin Kingdom, the resentment against Zhang Zhun is too deep. Whether it is Huang Taiji or the most ordinary soldier below, they all can't wait to eat Zhang Zhun raw. For his enemies, Dajin Guo has always been eager to take revenge. This was the case with Yuan Chonghuan back then, and the same was true with Sun Chengzong later. Now, no matter which way you look at it, it's Zhang Zhun's turn.

"Rush!"

Du Hu Chan roared loudly.

The Tartars of the forward battalion urged their horses forward. This time, instead of rushing directly in the direction of the canal, they galloped at high speed along the bank of the canal, and then turned sideways to release arrows at the tiger army's boats. This kind of attack is really the best for the Tartars of the forward battalion. On land, almost no one is an opponent in the forward battalion.

"Da Da Da!"

The sound of the horses' hooves of the Tartars of the forward battalion kept ringing, shaking both sides of the canal.

The water in the canal was also shaken by the fierce sound of horses' hooves, constantly drifting, and there were layers of ripples. These ripples from the shore collided with the ripples of the boats, then shattered, then mixed together, and finally slowly disappeared.

"Whoosh!"

The arrows of the Tartars kept whistling.

This kind of sideways shooting is what the Tartar horse archers are best at, and the arrows fired by the Tartars are not only very fierce, but also very high. One arrow after another, quickly swept across the water and nailed to the top of the plank. Some of the arrows even skimmed the wooden planks and swept the entire boat, falling into the river behind them, splashing strings of crystal spray.

However, no matter how hard the Dajin Army of the Forward Battalion released arrows, how hard they worked, and how accurate they were, they couldn't help the Tiger Ben Army with thick planks blocking it. On the contrary, it was the counterattack of the Tiger Ben Army, which left a lot of corpses in the Dajin Army. The distance between the two sides is so close, and the power of the tiger is fully displayed.

Unlike the fierce movements of the Tartars of the Forward Battalion, the shooting of the Tigerben Army Marines was slow and methodical. They hid behind the planks and, according to the standard movements, repeatedly loaded, shot, reloaded, and shot, as if it were not a Tartar on the shore, but a target on the training ground.

In fact, for the soldiers of the Marine Corps, the Tartars on the shore are indeed extremely tested targets. These targets move fast relative to targets on enemy ships. The fast horse flashed by, and there weren't many kill opportunities that could be caught. If you can't shoot calmly, you will only waste ammunition.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

With the gunfire of the Tiger Army, the Tartars who galloped by, constantly connecting people and horses, knocked over to the ground. The already chaotic banks of the canal, which were already in disarray, were even more chaotic. The war horses that were killed and injured by the fall were neighing in pain, adding a bit of tragedy to the battlefield. A large amount of blood continued to collect into small streams, and then flowed into the canal. The water on the bank is basically dyed red.

"Withdraw!"

Du Hu Chan saw that it was not good, and hurriedly ordered the army to retreat.

In less than a cup of tea, his forward battalion troops lost more than four hundred men. Such a loss is absolutely inconceivable in the forward battalion. The lethality of the Tiger Ben Army is still too amazing. Du Hu Chan is not a stupid person, and when he found that such an attack was ineffective, he immediately ordered a retreat and would not entangle.

However, the forward battalion withdrew from the shore, but still stared at the tiger army in the canal. Du Hu Chan was also on the edge of the canal, searching for dry intestines and racking his brains to see if there was any way to catch Zhang Zhun. Thinking about it, Du Hu Chan felt that there were only two ways to catch Zhang Zhun. The first was to wade across the river, rush to Zhang Zhun, and kill him. The second is to dry the river and let the cavalry of the forward battalion charge.

The first way, obviously, is not possible. The Dajin Army is a warrior on land, and its kung fu in the water is obviously a little worse. The Immortal Heaven is a god on land and cannot interfere with what happens in the water. Don't say that if you rush in front of Zhang Zhun, if you put it in the Grand Canal, you will be drowned by the canal water. The second method is even more whimsical, even he himself feels like an idiot and actually came up with such an idea.

Seeing that Zhang Zhun was close at hand, there was no way to start, and Du Hu Chan felt that his head was about to burst in an instant. Damn, Zhang Zhun was only a few hundred meters away from him. There are no walls, no ** bags, all obstacles, none of them. It seemed that as long as he stretched out his hand, he could jam Zhang Zhun's throat. But, damn it, there is a deep river! If they forcibly rushed over, the 1,500 warriors of Duhu Chan would not be enough to drown in this Grand Canal!

Since the battle of Dongjiabao, the Dajin army has been very taboo and fought with the Tiger Ben army from a long distance. Many people feel that hand-to-hand combat is inevitable in order to win the battle with the Tiger Army. Duhu Chan also thinks so. The problem is that the Tiger Army is now in the canal, and it is impossible for the Dajin Army to want to fight the other party hand-to-hand!

There was no way, Du Hu Chan had no choice but to immediately send someone to report to another forward battalion, Dutong Jiasera. The speed of the boat is not fast, and it should take some time to reach Texas City. They still have enough time to come up with more ways to deal with Zhang Zhun. He hoped that during this time, Gasala, who had a more nimble mind, would be able to come up with some effective ideas.

"My lord, I'm afraid the Tartar is going crazy."

Wang Shide couldn't help but whispered.

"If he has the ability, he will swim over."

Zhang Zhun said disappreciably.

For his own safety, Zhang Zhun is still very confident. Knowing that Tartar was on the shore, he didn't mind deliberately going out and showing his face on purpose, so that Tartar would know that he was on the boat. Under the blows of the Tiger Army, the more the Tartars paid attention to him, the greater the losses.

The Grand Canal looks like a ditch, not at all the same as the sea, but for the Tartars, this small ditch is a moat that stops them from attacking. The water depth of the Grand Canal is generally about six meters. With such a depth of water, no matter how many people and horses there are, there is not enough for the Tartars to fill it. Even if Huang Taiji arrived, there was no way to take him.

"What?"

"The Tiger Army's boat?"

"Zhang Zhun himself is in the canal?"

When Duhu Chan's flying report arrived at Gasera, it immediately attracted a series of exclamations.

Almost without thinking, Gasala immediately rushed with his troops to join Duhu Chan. For a while, outside the city of Texas, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled, which made the tiger army in the city think that the Tartars were going to attack the city, and hurriedly went to the city to guard. At last glance, it was not the case at all, and the cavalry of the Tartars all went to the west.

Jang Joon is inside the canal, which is definitely an attractive news. In any respect, the canal is easier to deal with than Dongjiabao. However, the reality of the problem made Gasala very depressed, and her heart changed from full of hope to full of anxiety. Damn, Gasera couldn't think of any way to catch Zhang Zhun in the canal for a while.

Cannon? Haven't shipped it yet!

Riding and shooting? Out of reach!

Swim? No!

……

As if she were all Hu Chan, Gasera's anxious forehead began to sweat.

Zhang Zhun was right under his nose, close at hand, within reach. If he can kill Zhang Zhun, he and Du Hu Chan will definitely rise to prominence, and Huang Taiji will give the two of them more power. However, how can you kill Zhang Zhun?

"Who would have thought of a way to kill Zhang Zhun, I will reward him with 10,000 taels of silver!"

Gasala sacrificed the strategy that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward.

Sure enough, the Tartars, who usually don't like to use their brains at all, take the initiative to use their brains and offer seemingly feasible policies.

Some people say that the improvised trebuchet can easily sink the boat by throwing boulders directly onto the top of the boat. As long as the boat is sunk, Zhang Zhun will naturally be finished.

"Idiot!"

Gasala wanted to give the other a kick.

How can a trebuchet be done in a day's work? With such effort, it is better to carry the cannon faster. By the time the trebuchet came out, Zhang Zhun and his boat had already disappeared without a trace.

Some people say that the red-coated cannon was dismantled and dragged over with several war horses......

"Idiot!"

Gasala was also eager to give the other a kick.

The red-coated cannon weighed at least two or three thousand catties, and when it was dragged from the vicinity of Dongjiabao to Texas, Zhang Zhun would even have time to give birth. It only takes half a day for the boat to get from here to Texas City, and wait until you go to carry the red-coated cannon?

Some people say that they should immediately make a bamboo raft and stand on the bamboo raft to attack......

"Idiot!"

Gasera was angry.

Standing on the bamboo raft to attack, is it to let the Tiger Ben Army shoot targets?

The current Dajin Army simply cannot get close to the bank of the canal. Because, the sharpshooters of the Tiger Ben Army, at a distance of two or three hundred meters, can inflict damage on the warriors of the Dajin Army. The warriors of the forward battalion are very precious and cannot be wasted in vain. Therefore, if there is no safe plan, Du Hu Chan and Gasera will not attack easily.

Some people say that everyone immediately blocked the Grand Canal with dirt, stones, trees, etc., so that the boats could not move forward. As long as Zhang Zhun is trapped in the canal, he will also be a dead end. There are warriors from the forward battalion on all sides, and it is impossible for Zhang Zhun to go ashore.

"This ...... Idiot! ”

Gasera's eyes lit up at first, and then she shook her head regretfully.

It seems that this is indeed a good solution, with a short time and quick results. The problem is that the cao boat is not far from Texas City, and the Dajin army simply does not have enough time to prepare. It took decades to dig the canal, and it was not easy to block it all at once.

All the suggestions were completely rejected by Gasera, and all the big golden troops couldn't help but be deflated. They were all staring at the Grand Canal from afar, and their eyes were almost on fire. It's just such a small ditch, and they can't help each other. For the once invincible warriors of the Golden Army, it is indeed too depressing.

"Is there no way?"

Gasala felt a little pain in her heart and liver.

A big beauty is placed in front of her, and she can be *** at will, but she regrets to find that she is impotent. What does that feel like? Gasara removed her hat and stroked her bare head vigorously, walking anxiously around the river.

"Woooooooooooo

Suddenly, a rousing bull's horn sounded.

Duhu Chan and Gyalsala were shocked, hurriedly turned on their horses, and galloped in the direction from which the horn came. The other Tartars were also full of solemnity.

Huang Taiji is here!
