Chapter 970: I'll Go to the Front
Under the hazy moonlight, the Canglan Sailor was still moving forward overnight, going south along the Xiangshui River.
Xiangshui is an important tributary of the Yangtze River, compared with other tributaries, the Xiangshui River is wide, however, even the Yangtze River, the main trunk of Xiangshui, is only an inner 6 rivers, and the vast sea is completely different. Rivers that are constantly turning, shoals and reefs that appear from time to time, intricate rapids and undercurrents...... The warships of the Canglan Naval Division are mainly fighting ships and hazy rushes, which makes the Canglan Naval Division quite powerful in water warfare, but it is a little clumsy in the relatively narrow and complex inland river navigation.
Many difficulties that had never been encountered at sea appeared one after another, testing the nerves of the sailors and soldiers.
The journey of the Canglan Sailor was made miserable, and the progress of the sailor was so slow that Jiang Qin had to order that he should not stop at night and rush day and night. The danger of sailing at night increased greatly, but no one complained or questioned Jiang Qin's decision, and even though more than two-thirds of the soldiers in the sailors were new recruits, after months of military life, obedience to orders was firmly imprinted in everyone's hearts.
Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin sat in the cabin with solemn expressions.
Although Jiang Qin is young, he is known for his majesty, and in the minds of the sailors and soldiers, he is mostly upright and upright, with a standard military image, but in front of his friend Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin does not hide his anxiety and sorrow.
Jiang Qin said: "We are a little slow. ”
Zhou Tai maintained his usual indifference: "I have been working day and night. ”
Jiang Qin shook his head: "But it's still not enough." The Zilong Society who accompanied the ship told me that the Qilin City Lord united many Inhuman territories and launched a frenzied siege on our infantry horses, numbering 100,000, and they did not rest even at night. The pressure on the lord's side is very high! Now it was all supported by the Xiandeng and the Winged Battalion, and the arrows were depleted very quickly, and if we could not hurry to join up with the infantry battalion and replenish the infantry with arrows and supplies, once they ran out of arrows. It can only be hand-to-hand. ”
Zhou Tai's eyes were cold.
All kinds of supplies and ordnance of the expeditionary force were on the naval division warships, so that the infantry cavalry could advance lightly, but once the intensity of the battle exceeded expectations, the problem of insufficient armaments carried by the infantry cavalry was obviously exposed, which was also a helpless thing.
"The river is complex. There are also sailors and coastal interceptions, and it has been ...... to have this."
"It's no better than the sea, the channel is fixed, you can't bypass it, you can only move forward."
The Fengxiang infantry cavalry was besieged, and the Canglan Sailor Division was no better. Since yesterday at noon, it has had to deal with the threat of hostile sailors. By the time it got dark, the Canglan Sailors had already broken through three interceptions and continued to advance towards their destination with a proud attitude. The configuration of those sailors is mainly small warships, and the strongest wave only has more than 2o fighting ships, and the strength is not strong, and the forward troops of the Canglan Sailor Division did not spend much effort to defeat the opponent. The wreckage of the broken warships can be seen on the river from time to time, but these battles still have some impact on the marching degree of the Canglan Naval Division.
The threat to the Canglan Sailors does not only come from the water.
The inland waterway is fixed, the river surface is wide and narrow, and it is not the head snake of Lingling, which is a third of an acre, how can it not be fully utilized. In addition to sending warships to delay the advance of the Canglan Naval Division, the Qilin Coalition also made a fuss in the narrow parts of the river, usually tying a few large boats to block the river in those places, and there would be a lot of fire-stirring things on the boats. If necessary, the coalition forces will set fire the ship with rockets; If the river bank is a cliff, the Qilin Coalition will also set up archers and rolling boulders on the cliff to attack the Canglan Sailors from a high position!
The Canglan Naval Division has been training at sea and has never had experience in inland navigation and combat. The march was already difficult, and coupled with the Qilin Alliance's spare no effort to sabotage and blockade, it was even worse, and the water division could not be fast at all.
Jiang Qin's expression was firm, and he said slowly: "The more the enemy army violently obstructs our sailor, the more it shows the importance of the sailor division and the infantry cavalry!" Anyway, we have to add! ”
Zhou Tai knew that Jiang Qin had already made a decision.
"What to do, you say."
Jiang Qin gritted his teeth and said, "There is no way to improve the flight, but we can deal with their interception faster." We put the hazy chong in front to open the way, and when the enemy sailors block the way, we will not be entangled with it from afar, and directly sink it or destroy it on the side! The obstacle boat in the narrow part of the river is also directly smashed away with a hazy rush! Leave the enemy on the coast alone, rush over, rush over and win! ”
Zhou Tai frowned: "Our ship will be damaged." ”
"The boat can be repaired. There is no victory without sacrifice, that's what you say. Jiang Qin's eyes were blazing.
"Need me to get to the front, right?"
"That's right."
Zhou Tai didn't speak anymore, got up silently, grabbed the long knife on the case, and strode away.
Under the moonlight, the Canglan Sailor Division quietly completed the change of formation, except for Jiang Qin's flagship still in the center of the fleet, the other 11 hazy ships sailed at the front of the fleet, like 11 giant beasts, silent but full of intimidation.
On the hazy deck of the front ship, a figure with a long knife stood as tall as a pine.
The night is fading, and the morning sun has not yet risen.
In the temporary camp of the Fengxiang Expeditionary Force, the soldiers who had had breakfast had already begun to make final preparations for a new battle. Last night was not peaceful, the enemy's attack maintained continuity, constantly consuming the arrows of the Fengxiang army, and trying to make the expeditionary force unable to rest, fortunately, the camp chosen by Xu Rong was easy to defend and difficult to attack, most of the Fengxiang infantry cavalry soldiers who went out this time were experienced in a hundred battles, and their psychological elements were far from being comparable to the recruits who had never been on the battlefield.
The harassment that lasted overnight from the Kirin coalition was not entirely ineffective.
At the very least, Feng Xiangjun consumed a lot of arrows.
Wuxin is still staying here, after dawn, the Fengxiang army is bound to pull out of camp, and the Wuxin coalition army will be able to wield the power of the crowd tactics again. Even if Ah Niu Lai doesn't move his nest here, the Qilin Coalition Army can also use a strong attack to force the Fengxiang Army, which has run out of arrows, to fight hand-to-hand, the difference is only in how much the Qilin Coalition Army pays, and it has no intention of having enough funds to protect it, and it doesn't take the price as a thing at all.
Once hand-to-hand combat begins, the loss of the Feng Xiang Army will skyrocket!
A certain city lord has always cherished the lives of his subordinates, and he wants to know what kind of expression Ah Niu will look like when he sees a large number of his subordinates killed.
Thinking of this, Wuxin has a strong sense of pleasure.
"Why haven't they come out yet. When are you going to attack? ”
Yu Wenhao said: "Half an hour later." If they do not pull out their camp after half an hour, they will attack on the spot. ”
Where Wuxin is standing now, you can clearly see the corner of the temporary camp, where the Fengxiang army is dismantling the tent, which is obviously a prelude to pulling out the camp. I can't wait to see Ah Niu eat deflated. But he also understands that he should be patient at this time, and let Feng Xiangjun come out on his own, so that the strong attack will be more effective.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near.
The sound of hooves was swift and heavy. It was like a hammer falling on the drum surface, and even the ground felt a slight vibration.
Yu Wenhao was a little stunned, and it was not difficult to judge from the sound of hooves that it took at least two thousand horsemen to form such a momentum. War horses are expensive, and Jingzhou does not produce war horses, so there is no cavalry in the coalition army. The unintentional Qilin City did not hesitate to raise a cavalry, but the scale was only a few hundred.
The cavalry units that will appear here now can only be the Flying Wing Battalion.
But isn't the Flying Wing Battalion supposed to be in the camp? Where did they go last night?
The cavalry was approaching, and soon there was a report from the transfer of the military forces of Qilin City, and it was indeed the Flying Wing Battalion. The coalition soldiers who were blocking the Wingwings' march were unlucky, first tasting the power of long-range Hercules arrows, and then the cavalry forcibly kicking the formation. Zhao Yun took the lead in breaking up the interception of the coalition army, and returned to the camp before the coalition army was surrounded by a large army.
Yu Wenhao quickly understood the reason for the strange disappearance of the Flying Wing Battalion last night.
"The front returns, the Flying Wing Battalion has brought back a large number of arrows!"
This is simply bad news!
Yu Wenhao's facial muscles twitched slightly, and his heart was cold: "Could it be wrong?" ”
The turned military general said: "It's true! Just now, a few horses were shot by us, and the cavalry was rescued, but they couldn't take the horses with them. Every horse has a big bundle of arrows, and you can't go wrong! ”
"Made!"
Yu Wenhao couldn't help but burst into a foul language, paying a huge price to consume the arrows of the Feng Xiang Army, seeing that it was done, who would have thought that the Flying Wing Battalion would go out for a spin at night. And brought back a large number of arrows. It's like the night of the candles in the cave room, the groom finally beat away the relatives and friends in the cave room, and was about to spend the night with the bride, but was dragged out to drink, Yu Wenhao was so depressed that he almost wanted to vomit blood.
Wuxin's face turned pale: "The Fengxiang Sailor has been under our surveillance, and it is still far from here, and it is impossible for the Flying Wing Battalion to get arrows from the Sailor fleet." So, where do arrows come from? ”
There was silence in the room, and no one could answer the question.
"Where did you get two thousand bundles of arrows?"
"The Flying Wing Battalion disappeared last night, and now when they return, there aren't many places they can go, it must be nearby!"
"Check! Be sure to find out for me! ”
The more Wuxin spoke, the more excited he became, and he was almost roaring later.
Yu Wenhao persuaded: "This time we didn't take precautions, next time they figure out how to supply guò, it's not so easy." We still have enough troops, and at most we can spend more time and pay more costs, so that they can run out of ammunition and food and fall to death. ”
Heartless, his face was slightly pale.
At this time, the communication bracelet lights up.
connected, didn't say a few words, and the face that had just improved suddenly turned pale.
"What's wrong?"
"Last night, the martial artists of Fengxiang City made a big fuss in Xiangyang, killing people and setting fires, Liu Biao couldn't suppress the bullets, but killed many good hands and officials. and Cao Cao's Yanzhou army suddenly moved south and forced Xiangyang as a force. ”
Yu Wenhao gasped: "Oh my God, what does Zheng Aniu want to do?" ”
"He's crazy! In order to save this expeditionary force, he did not hesitate to tear his face with Jingzhou Mansion, and dragged Cao Cao in! In order to deal with me, he did not hesitate to start an all-out war with Jingzhou Mansion! He's a bastard! Cao Cao is also a bastard! And fucking the hero, being called around by the player, like a dog! ”
At this time, Wuxin was like a wounded beast, and the sudden increase in pressure made him breathless.
After a while: "The most annoying thing is that Liu Biao is cowardly!" ”
"What?"
"Liu Biao has ordered Lingling Taishou to intervene in our siege of the Fengxiang army, and the Jingzhou army will arrive by noon today at the latest."
Yu Wenhao was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"I'm going back to the territory, you have to hurry up and make them bleed as much as possible!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation!
