Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 438 The Last Moment Before Going Ashore

When Wang Zheng defeated Zhou Tai, in the violent wind and rain, Sun Ce's army also approached with two ships, and at the same time, several large ships from the Heavenly Army also came up to meet them. I don't know if it's because of the news that Wang Zheng is on board, or because of the enemy's strategy. For a while, new soldiers from both sides began to come to this Wang Xiong's boat. The higher the pressure, the deeper the draft.

After discovering this, Wang Zheng couldn't help frowning slightly, and ordered to a few personal soldiers who came to guard: "Go and send an order so that the ships don't have to come here for reinforcements."

Just kidding, you should know that building ships also have different sizes. The hull is divided into three to five floors, and buildings are built on the ship, so they are called building ships. In the late Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan’s ship "Feiyun" was enough to carry three to four thousand people, but that The building boat is more than ten feet high, and I don't know how many layers of hulls it made.

Today's Miewu ship is only built on the second floor, and the maximum number of people it can carry is only more than eight people, while Wang Xiong's ship is even more ordinary. In fact, five to six hundred people is the limit, and now it has exceeded this number. Wang Zheng was also afraid that a ship with too much weight would capsize directly.

When the personal soldiers went to deliver the order, Wang Zheng looked around at this moment. In fact, it wasn't just Wang Xiong's boat at this time, as the boats formed a square formation with Wang Xiong's boat as the center, the two sides had already started fighting in several places. Fighting on board, but compared to Sun Cejun on Wang Xiong's boat, the enemies in several other places were far less brave.

The elite should be gathered here.

Wang Zheng came to a conclusion in his mind. After his charge just now, not only Zhou Tai, a general who was close to the fourth-rank soldier, came to fight, but the other Sun Ce troops also attacked frantically, even under the sharp edge of the sword. It was serious, but it didn't seem to matter at all. In contrast, when the Sun Ce army in other places entered a real hand-to-hand battle with the Tian army, it was fine in the early stage. Once the casualties reached a certain percentage, the morale and fighting spirit declined significantly.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before the enemy's command seemed to realize this. Not only did the remaining few warships not continue to approach, but there was a sound of gold clanging in the distance, and shortly afterwards, the largest of them took the lead towards Drive to the other side.

Is this going to retreat?
Afterwards, Sun Cejun on several boats took the initiative to dive one after another, which proved Wang Zheng's guess. It was raining heavily. He stroked his hair and said to the soldiers who rushed over: "Don't chase after the poor, let's go Let them go."

Water battles in the rain are too dangerous. Although in fact, it is precisely because of such heavy rain that neither side can carry out long-range attacks. Instead, the enemy is forced to choose the side. The "water battle" method, but Wang Zheng also had concerns, so he didn't choose to let the whole army press on and pursue the victory.

Once on the shore, the true strength of the Tianjun can be displayed to the fullest, but who knows if Sun Cejun has arranged an ambush?
After this water battle, Wang Xiong's ship was already scarred and endangered. Even this time, because he was the vanguard and became the focus of the enemy's firepower, he fought hard and was stabbed in the shoulder. He came to pay his respects. During the Wangzheng period, the injured arm was also wrapped in a cloth, and the rain splashed down, which even stained half of the body red.

Seeing this, Wang Zheng said a few words of comfort, and asked his soldiers to bring over the medical officers accompanying the army from the Admiral Miewu to heal and bandage the wounded soldiers. A soldier was about to pull out Wang Zhengzhana's long spear on the springboard. Now that the battle had come to an end, the nail could not be kept.

It's just that Wang Zheng's attack under the third-level strong attack bonus is really indescribably powerful. The gun is too deep, and even a few system soldiers can't move at all. When they saw Wang Zheng approaching, they immediately He saluted and said: "General, the villain is incompetent, this gun can't be pulled out!"

That being said, there is no shame on everyone's face, as if this is a matter of course.
There is no way, General Tiangong has the divine power bestowed by Huang Tian, ​​let alone a few people, even dozens of people can't do it, it's normal, isn't it?
Wang Zheng smiled when he heard the words: "If you can't pull it out, just cut it off."

"This"

A soldier was startled when he heard the words, then touched the barrel of the gun, looked at Wang Zheng with some hesitation and said: "General, this gun barrel is very good, it would be a pity if it broke, then I should call a few more people to try it." ?”

Hearing this, Wang Zheng glanced at the soldier appreciatively. It was very good. All the soldiers under this general should be able to live like this. He nodded and walked away before shooting. The barrel of the gun slammed lightly, and then saw the force of the thought, and then there was a crisp sound of "bang", accompanied by the sound of wood breaking, the gun immediately shot out three feet first.

Amidst the applause from the crowd, Wang Zheng was a little surprised. He had exerted [-]% of his strength this time. He thought he would pull out all of it in one go, but who would have thought that only part of it would be pulled out. Curious, he turned his hand to the It moved down, stepped on the springboard, and exerted force again, with another "cha", the gun was finally pulled out, and a crack appeared on the springboard.

Holding the gun in his hand, Wang Zheng looked at it carefully.

He didn't take this gun seriously before, thinking that it was just a weapon used by ordinary soldiers, and how good it would be, not to mention that when he held it in his hand, he felt that the weight was average, so it shouldn't be caused by fine iron. I care even more.

Now I finally remembered what was unusual about it.

Why can a wooden weapon remain intact under the ambush of thousands of miles of victory?
After a closer look, I finally saw some clues.

This spear is about eight feet long, the head of the spear is not unusual, it is just made of ordinary iron, but the body of the spear is made of some kind of wood, it is actually firm and tough, extremely strong.

Especially when Wang Zheng was concentrating, he found that the color of the gun body was dark and ordinary at first glance, but in fact it was faintly purple, which seemed to have some origin.

Danced a gun flower casually, Wang Zheng felt more and more that the gun was used inexplicably, and his heart suddenly moved. Isn't it a coincidence that he just lacks a long weapon.

Although Chengsheng Wanlifu is unparalleled in sharpness, it is too short to be used as a sword weapon on the battlefield. It is fine to fight alone. If you charge into the battle, it is actually a waste of Wang Zheng's divine power.

After all, the range of damage is different, and the result of the damage must be different.

Back on his own boat, Wang Zheng first put the Excalibur back on the sword case, and then handed over the gun to the soldiers for safekeeping. After sitting down for a while, Wang Xiong, who was wrapped in gauze, ran over again and said, "General, those two Someone on board is coming to see the general."

It's the two ships we saved, right?

Wang Zheng nodded and said, "It's just right, I am about to ask them, where are they?"

"I have already brought him to the Miewu ship," Wang Xiong said, "Now several people are waiting outside the cabin, and the leader is named Qiao Ben."

Wang Zheng asked again: "Can you tell me which Yangzhou army they are?"

"No." Wang Xiong shook his head: "They are the boats sent by Linhu General Chen Lan to Hefei to collect food, not the defeated soldiers who escaped from the city of Hefei."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng suddenly felt relieved, and couldn't help blurting out: "That's good, that's good."

Immediately he came to his senses, looked at the respectful Wang Xiong opposite him, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised, he didn't expect that Wang Xiong, who has always been the first to kill the enemy in battle, looks rough on the outside, but actually has a fine mind.

His family didn't directly ask if he was a defeated soldier in Hefei City, but Wang Xiong already understood that what Wang Zheng is most afraid of now is hearing the news of Hefei City's fall, so he took the initiative to answer.

Hmm, it seems that it is not suitable to use Wang Xiong as a pioneer in the future?

While thinking to himself, Wang Zheng said, "Did they have any losses?"

"Fortunately, they withdrew immediately after the attack, and have not confronted Sun Ce's army head-on, so the loss is not too big."

"Withdraw immediately? Does that mean fleeing without fighting?"

Hearing this, Wang Zheng was startled for a moment, then sighed, and shook his head: "It seems that after Ji Ling left, most of Yuan Gonglu's army are these people who know how to advance and retreat, and who are quick to see opportunities."

"Forget it, let's call them in."

"Here!"

Not long after, Wang Xiong brought the three people into the cabin again, and just as Wang Zheng was about to speak, he saw the three of them kneeling down together: "The last general of Linhu garrison Du Bo Qiao Ben pays homage to Wang Zhoumu."

"The princes are not subordinates of the government, so there is no need to perform this great gift."

Wang Zheng strode forward, personally supported Qiao Ben who was the leader, and said warmly: "Qiao Dubo, please, I led the army to the south this time, and I was invited by the king to relieve the danger of Linhu. The military situation is urgent. , let’s make a long story short, what’s the current situation in the city?”

"To Wang Zhoumu."

Qiao Ben stood up, still very respectfully said: "For the sake of security, my general has not been able to hold on these days, and the defense is good, so there is no serious problem, but because of the previous two battles outside Xiang'an and Linhu City The battle was defeated, and there were many wounded soldiers in the city, so the general ordered to take some wounded who could not go to battle to form a food urging team to go to Hefei, Chengde, Liu'an and other places to adjust food in batches, but it was never expected that Sun Ce's army would come A sneak attack here, or if the non-state shepherd comes to help, our team of 200 people will be out of luck!"

Having said that, Qiao Ben once again bowed his head, and said solemnly: "The general and all brothers thank Zhou Mu for saving his life, and he will always remember it in his heart."

Wang Zheng didn't care if he remembered or not, but he raised his eyebrows when he heard what he said about the food urging team, and asked in a deep voice: "Chen Lan sent so many food urging teams? Could it be that there is not much food in the city now?"

Qiao Ben said: "Don't worry, state herdsman, there are still two storehouses of surplus grain in the city, which is enough for the soldiers and civilians in the city for three months, not to mention the folks still have accumulated grain, if it is collected, it will be enough for a year. The general ordered me to wait for the grain. It is to let some wounded soldiers be transferred to the rear to recuperate."

"That's it." Wang Zheng nodded and said, "Then Qiao Dubo, do you still want to move on now?"

"Yes." Qiao Ben said, "Apart from some wounded soldiers, there are also many craftsmen who are skilled in carpentry. In the previous battle, not only our army suffered heavy losses, but also our ships. The general ordered me to take They went to the rear, also thinking about continuing to build new ships."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng's original contempt disappeared instantly. It turned out that these ships were full of craftsmen and wounded soldiers. Speaking of which, they ran away without a fight when they met Sun Ce's army. On the one hand, it is also to protect these craftsmen.
He groaned inwardly ashamed, thought for a while and said, "Okay, but the number of people I brought this time is not too many, there is really no way to separate people to protect you, and then you should be careful yourself, in case Sun Cejun comes again. ambush."

Qiao Ben said gratefully: "Thank you Zhou Mu for your kindness!"

After Qiao Ben's men left, Wang Zheng ordered the fleet to change formation again, let Wang Xiong's troops turn to the right wing, and Tianzhu Battalion replaced their forward in the middle. , Changing formations is also easy, and the new formation is formed after only a short delay.

The fleet set off again in the rain.

The rain was still heavy, making Wang Zheng's black armor shiny, and the clothes under the armor were already soaked. He leaned on the rail of the boat and looked ahead silently. He didn't even see the shadow of Linhu City, so he had fought two battles first.

And although the scale was not large, the battle was actually extremely fierce. Even though the Heavenly Army won both games, the total losses were two to three hundred. This made Wang Zheng really angry!
Who in the end leaked the wind?
Once let Ben check it out
Just as his killing intent surged, the fleet continued to advance at a high speed. Although it was going up against the current, it was advancing with the wind. If there were no accidents, it would arrive in Hefei City in an hour. I'm afraid it will be midnight when we arrive in Hefei.

After dusk, the rain gradually thinned, and when it was getting dark, the rain finally stopped.As soon as the rain stopped, the soldiers on each ship took time to change their clothes that had been soaked by the rain before. There was only a commotion on the river. Wang Zheng also went back to the cabin to change his underwear, and wiped his black armor carefully with a piece of dry cloth. After wiping, under an oil lamp, the nail leaves began to shine again.

Then someone knocked on the door.

Wang Zheng said without raising his head, "Come in."

It was Wang Xiong who came in. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "General, the boat that was sent out to explore the way has returned."

Wang Zheng said, "Is there anything unusual?"

"They can already see the city of Hefei from the front, but." Having said that, Wang Xiong paused, and said hesitantly, "It seems a bit strange to say that the city is brightly lit."

Brightly lit?

Wang Zheng was shocked. The Han Dynasty was not a later generation. The diesel fuel that can light the lights is so precious. Except for the center of the Han Empire like Chang'an and Luoyang, most cities would never have such a situation at night!

This sentence probably means that there is a war in the city, otherwise the lights and candles would not be wasted!

Wang Zheng stood up and ordered as he walked, "Go, go and have a look."

"In addition, let the whole ship continue to accelerate immediately, and go ashore as soon as possible!"

Like most of the Celestial Army, the current Wang Zheng is also very imminent and wants to feel down-to-earth again!
