Chapter 223: A strong man breaks his wrist and trains his soldiers in battle

On the fortress, Li Jing saw that the cunning Feng Zhang finally lost his caution, and was confused and deceived by the arrangement on the shore, and finally sailed the building ship, the fighting ship, the sea falcon, and the armed merchant ship that was transporting troops behind him into the dock and docked, the corners of his mouth finally turned up slightly, revealing a smile that he had been waiting for a long time. No matter how cunning the prey is, it will not be able to escape the trap of the hunter in the end.

Immediately gave a loud order, the standard-bearer gave the order, and all the hidden general's wheel artillery, large and small throwing artillery, counterattacked on all fronts. Heavy crossbows, winch crossbows, Fuyuan crossbows, and so on all began to attack. Hundreds of divine fire canisters were thrown at the same time, and the divine fire canisters whistling in the sky almost covered the entire sky above the dock.

However, this killer weapon hidden by Li Jing did not rush to the Da Xie soldiers who had already rushed close, but directly aimed at the building ships, fighting ships and merchant ships that were unloading the troops. The Divine Fire Canister was sent out too suddenly, and Feng Zhang was not prepared at all. Countless divine fire canisters smashed down like hailstones, landing on the shore of the dock, on the ship, on the fighting ship, and even on the merchant ship, on the sea. Each falling clay pot splattered rapidly, bursting into orange flames.

The clay pot shattered and immediately sputtered, and the divine fire inside would immediately attach to any target and begin to burn. Stained with soldiers, the soldiers pounced with their hands, but even with leather gloves and iron gloves to pounce, they also burned, and even the more they pounced, the more they made the whole body burn, and the most frightened screams and rolls, and the fluttering was still useless, until the most stubborn turned into a pile of black charred corpses.

Splashing on the shield, on the deck of the ship, on the mast, on the canvas, clusters of flames rose up, and suddenly it became an infernal hell.

Cui Zhang, who was urging the soldiers to get off the ship quickly, suddenly heard countless whistling sounds and looked up. But I just happened to see that tragic scene in the world. He was stunned. finally remembered what Feng Xun said about Feng Ming being defeated by Li Jing's so-called divine fire in Tieshan Port. At the time, he didn't believe in anything like that. At most, I think it's just a little more powerful than ordinary oil. I never thought that this thing would be so powerful.

Bang, a black clay pot roared and slammed into the mast of the Anlan, smashing the entire ship and shaking. Then the liquid sputtered out of the shattered clay pot immediately burst into flames, and countless orange flowers, large and small, immediately rose from the huge white sails.

"Cut off the mast, quick!" Feng Zhang finally reacted, and just saw the power of this kind of ghost fire. He didn't want the whole ship to burn at the end. A group of men immediately stepped forward with their tomahawks and slashed at them, and in a moment, before the fire spread to the entire ship, they cut down the mast and pushed it into the sea.

"Withdraw, Mingjin withdraws his troops, immediately retreat!" Feng Zhang's face was pale.

The sound of gold sounded, and the boats on the shore began to paddle back, and the dock was in chaos.

"Uncle, you can't retreat, more than half of our people have already landed on the island. At this time, they retreated, and they couldn't come back. Feng Xun shouted. A look of anxiety.

Feng Zhang kicked him away, and said hatefully: "Look at the surroundings, this place has become the purgatory of the ghost domain, Li Jing's ghost fire is too weird and powerful, more than a dozen ships have been hit by bullets and caught fire at this moment, and you look at the sea, those ships sank, but the fire was not extinguished, they were still floating on the sea, and there were more and more, drifting with the waves." As long as we touch any ship, it will immediately ignite that boat, and if we stay any longer, we will all have to finish our game here today. ”

"But, uncle, what about the brothers who have come ashore?"

"A strong man breaks his wrist to save his whole body. Da Lang, there is no mercy on the battlefield, and there is no room for hesitation between advance and retreat. Remove! ”

The sea at the Phoenix Mountain Wharf is already full of undulating orange-red flames, and there are more and more, just like duckweed on the sea, but it is constantly devouring one ship after another.

Mingjin's retirement order sounded, the mast of the Fengzhang Anlan was broken, and even the handsome flag was turned into ashes, and the other warships were extremely panicked.

The largest building ships and fighting ships had only half of their soldiers ashore, but at this time, they retreated directly regardless of it. Many soldiers were still stepping on the bridge board to land, and as soon as the warship withdrew, their whole people immediately fell into the sea along with the bridge board.

The black crows in the sky were still flying, and those warships were afraid of escaping slowly, rowing desperately. Quite a few warships even collided together in the confusion and sank the port.

Li Jing stood on the fortress and saw that Feng Zhang was so decisive, and immediately retreated without the slightest hesitation, and couldn't help but be slightly disappointed. This round of attacks almost wiped out more than half of the Divine Fire Inventory in Shamen Town. Fortunately, he had already estimated that Feng Zhang might have this reaction, so Ji Lu also prepared all the inventory for three waves of attacks.

"Order, stop throwing divine fire, all crossbowmen shoot, break the will of all the soldiers who come ashore, and force them to surrender."

Although Feng Zhang fled quickly, the results of this battle were also very rich, and in just a moment of effort, Feng Zhang's 15,000 people who came this time had at least five or six thousand people ashore. Previously, Li Jing had been suppressing the strength of the attack, because the casualties of these people were not too large, and the forwards had already attacked the front of the first wooden fence.

Feng Zhang fled, but these people had nowhere to escape, in front of them were surrounded by the fortress arrow tower and the ditch, and behind them was the sea that was still burning with flames.

"Woooooooooooo ——————”

The trumpets sounded, the war drums rumbled, the morale was aroused, and the people were inspired.

The nine fortresses, thirty arrow towers, hundreds of various heavy crossbows, as well as countless throwing carts, and the strong bows and crossbows of the war barracks covered like a boat. Although Li Jing said that he would make a forced landing on them, if he didn't show some thunder power, these people would not surrender honestly.

Clusters of metal storms swept through the docks, tearing apart soldier after soldier. Under such a fierce blow, even raising a shield would not be useful, and no matter how hard the shield was, it could not stop the crossbow spear that was as thick as an arm ship. Often a shot comes from the west, directly shattering the shield and piercing through the soldiers behind, the force does not stop, piercing two or three people in a row, like a kebab skewer.

"Surrender to avoid death, abandon weapons and not kill!"

Shouts rang out from all sides, and at the end of the day, they converged into a loud and neat storm.

Under such power, many of the Great Thanksgiving soldiers saw that the fleet had withdrawn. Leave them alone. Up against a wall. There was no way to enter the ground, and finally he collapsed, began to throw down his sword and gun, and in the rain of arrows, he knelt on the ground, abandoned his weapons and surrendered.

With a clang, the first knife was dropped, and the sound began to be contagious. Swiftly swept across the docks. There are soldiers constantly throwing down their weapons on the spot, and the highest military rank on the dock at this time is Meng Yang, the deputy general of Montenegro Fort, and Wu Qian, the town general of Montenegro Fort, surrendered to the enemy, and even the entire Montenegro Fort couldn't raise his head in front of the other brothers of Da Xie Yan. In this attack on Salmon Island, Meng Yang volunteered to lead all the brothers of Montenegro Fort to play the forward, and rushed to Salmon Island first.

At this time, most of the soldiers had collapsed and surrendered, but the remaining 300 or so soldiers of the Black Mountain Fort formed a phalanx tightly, with the shield in front and the spear in the back. Resolutely refused to surrender. Not only did they not surrender, but Meng Yang also gave an order. When they saw those who abandoned their weapons and surrendered, they were immediately beheaded as deserters.

Seeing that the enemy army collapsed, but there was still a small army that refused to surrender, and under their persecution, many of the Great Xie soldiers who had already discarded their ordnance regained their courage, picked up their swords, and joined their array. As if like a snowball, wherever Meng Yang's phalanx moved, the soldiers were pulled into the formation by them, and the array became larger and larger.

Li Jing smiled coldly, he was really blocking the car with his mantis arm, and he couldn't do anything.

"Give the order, the battalion of soldiers will attack and crush them."

The order flag waved, Lin Wei put on his helmet and armor, and shouted, "The five generals in the left wing of the battle camp listen to the order, and the whole army will attack!" ”

More than 1,000 soldiers from the Wudu and 10 teams passed through the fences and ditches, advancing step by step, and finally advanced to the front of the dock, where they were finally separated by 100 steps from Meng Yang's phalanx, which already had 1,000 people.

On the top of the fortress, Zhang Hong, who was watching the battle, said with some puzzlement, "General, wouldn't it be easier to deal with these people and destroy them directly, why bother to fight against them head-on." As a result, there will inevitably be casualties. Zhang Hong was worried about the casualties, and even more worried about the large amount of money he would have to pay for the casualties.

Li Jing looked at the battlefield and said: "In battle, it is not only about men and horses, but also about strategy. In the same way, although an army can rely on strategy, it can win more with less, and defeat the strong with weak. But there is one thing that is indispensable in the army, and that is courage. The courage to fight the enemy with dignity, dare not fight when, where, under what circumstances, even if it is unfavorable, if an army still dares to show its sword, then this army is qualified. "From the beginning to the present, the Shamen Town Army has fought several battles, it can be said that the bandit battle in Wang Li Village began, to the battle against the pirates, to the battle of Cat Island, the battle of Tieshan, all the way to the battle of Wuhu Island, to today's battle. Although they suffered many casualties, they were always invincible and attacked everything.

However, all along, except for the battle against the one-eyed Jiao, the other battles were only participated in by a small group, and not the whole army really participated in the war. And most of the fights are sneak attacks and ambush battles. Although such a battle was won, the Shamen Town Army couldn't help but be a little proud, but they did not fight a real hard and bloody battle, and they still lacked the courage to win when they met on a narrow road.

In the current battle, as Zhang Hong said, in fact, there is no need for such a confrontation at all, and the crossbowmen can directly use the crossbowmen to make a forced landing on the Da Xie soldiers. But Li Jing let the war battalion attack, in order to let these soldiers fight a real duel, instead of always only fighting some tailwind battles such as sneak attacks and ambushes. Only after a frontal hard battle can the soldiers of Shamen Town be truly called soldiers.

However, today's battle can't actually be called a tough battle, and Li Jing is reluctant to take risks with his own soldiers easily. In the current situation, the more than 1,000 enemy troops who were still resisting were completely surrounded by Shamen Town, and were covered by countless crossbow arrows and artillery. It's as if the other party is a ferocious beast, but it's encased in the Colosseum, specially designed for human training. In the event of a dangerous situation, it can be stopped immediately.

"In this battle, we have to fight the courage of the Shamen Town Army. Let all the soldiers and people of Shamen Town know that we have a brave and daring army. Fighting this battle can not only improve the courage of the soldiers of our Shamen Town, but also improve the morale and confidence of other soldiers and people in our Shamen Town. ”

"I hope it's all worth it, it's just a little too cruel." Zhang Hong also understood Li Jing's idea of using these great thank you soldiers to train the courage and courage of the army, although he understood, he felt that this kind of training method was very cruel.

Li Jing chuckled, but did not answer. Is it cruel? In his opinion, this battle is not cruel, and the battle barracks below are simply trials under heavy protection. If they were on a real battlefield, how could they have such protection, and once they were on the real battlefield, they would face a much more brutal situation than they are now. Li Jing just didn't want to see a group of soldiers who had never really fought on the battlefield, so he insisted that they go down to fight, which was not only their trial, but also for other soldiers to watch.

"Bring the drumsticks, I am going to personally cheer for the soldiers!" Li Jing shouted loudly, and several pro-soldiers set up a cowhide war drum and handed over two drumsticks.

Li Jing took off the armor on his body, wore only his battle robe, and beat the big drum violently. The sound of drums resounded throughout the battlefield, and many soldiers turned around and saw that it was their own general Li Jing who was beating the drums, and they couldn't help but shout in unison.

Lin Wei was in front of the formation, glanced back at Li Jing on the fortress, turned his head and pointed at the opposite formation, and shouted: "General Li Jing personally beat the drums to help the formation, and the comrades and elders in Shamen Town are watching the battle behind." In this battle, we must show the majesty of the left wing of our barracks, show our demeanor, and play our banner. Win! ”

"Victory!" More than a thousand loud voices roared out in unison.

"Attack!" Lin Wei pointed at his long sword, the battle horn sounded, and the left compartment advanced neatly in the rumbling war drums.

Five are ten teams, each team is a small formation. This formation is completely in accordance with the art of war of Li Weigong, the famous marshal of the Tang Dynasty, each team, the head of the team is in the first place, behind him the second row is the flag bearer, the deputy flag is then followed, the left and right flags are on both sides, and then the three soldiers in the team stand together for a group. Until the back of the most rear, the deputy of the team retreated to the last position.

According to the military system of Shamen Town, only the officers who have reached the first level of the general are the commanders in the formation. From the captain to the captain to the head of the team, they must stand at the forefront of the team. In the same team, the flag bearer stands behind the team leader with the flag of his own team, and the deputy flag bearer and two flag guards closely follow the flag bearer and the team leader, they are the head of the whole team, the eyes of the whole team, and the courage of the whole team. Wherever they go, the whole team has to follow. Wherever the battle flag goes, go to the soup and go to the sword, and you can't resign.

The captains and gang leaders in the team each hold a flag gun, and under the blade of the one-zhang long flag gun, there is also a small triangular red flag. (To be continued.) )
