Chapter 31

The two generals no longer had any fighting spirit and turned their horses to escape. They saw Yun Yi's horse speeding up and his spear missing. Everyone was wondering when Yun Yi relaxed his arms and shouted loudly.

"come on!"

The silk armor around their waists was grabbed by Yun Yi, and they felt as if they were being lifted up in mid-air, like a pair of crabs with their teeth and claws open.

This scene was deeply fixed in the hearts of all the soldiers present.

……

Weiyuan City.

The Nangong brothers and sisters stood upstairs, looking at the Yan army on both sides of the Dongxiang River, their faces were extremely heavy.

"Brother, the sparrows have already been released, counting the time, father should have arrived yesterday."

Nangong Shi looked into the distance, "I believe Master Yun has sent the news, maybe father has some plans and plans."

"I think he failed to break out of the encirclement." Nangong Li pouted, "This will affect our plan, brother, he shouldn't be entrusted with the task."

Taking a deep look into his younger sister's eyes, Nangong sighed, "I'm afraid that my younger sister may not agree with you? Brother, I don't believe you have no confidence in Yun Yi."

Stamping her little feet, Nangong Li's face turned red, "Facts speak louder than words, he should have come, he would have come a long time ago."

"Ugh..."

The desolate horn and the familiar melody attracted the attention of the siblings to the southwest.

Looking at the clouds in the sky, which had not yet been dyed red by the rising sun, Nangong pressed the hilt of his sword at his waist, "Sister, you owe Yunyi an apology."

Nangong Li pouted so much that he could hang oil bottles, "No, father came so early, today's battle depends on our Nangong family, he is just a pawn delivering letters."

Shaking his head, Nangong Shi stopped talking and ran towards the south city gate with his soldiers.

……

The water battle on the Dongxiang River was extremely fierce from the very beginning. Under the leadership of Nan Gongyan, the Wu Guo Navy Division used large-scale building boats to clear the way and stormed the Yan Army's position on the river bank.

The Wu State's large-scale ship, with 1000 men on board, carried more than ten large trebuchets, and many powerful crossbows. They came side by side. Stones rained down, and the Yan army's position was cleared of smoke and dust.

The catapults of Yan State also fought back desperately, launching many wine jars and igniting them with rockets to burn down the warships of State Wu.

However, Nangong Yan had already made preparations. The hull of the ship had already been covered with mud and covered with iron sheets. Although the fire was not small, it could not be ignited. Every large warship was surrounded by small boats patrolling, which dispersed the firepower of many Yan troops.

In long-distance combat, the Wu State Navy had the upper hand. They gradually approached the Yan Army's position, causing the artillery fire behind the Yan Army to be ineffective. The building boats lined up in the river, and the firepower was very concentrated. After some confrontation, the Wu State Navy suffered a small loss , Destroyed many riverside positions of the Yan army.

Amidst the roar of war drums, the Yan army was unwilling to be outdone, and sent a large number of cavalry to gallop along the river bank to prevent Wu soldiers from landing. The navy's warships also assembled, and countless small boats faced Wu's artillery fire and ignited the igniters above. object, hit the building boat.

Seeing the flaming boats heading towards the building boats like rockets, the Yan Kingdom cavalry on the shore gave out loud cheers.

It's a pity that Nangong, like a famous general in hundreds of battles, had been prepared for a long time. All the ships in the main battle building were equipped with giant logs to withstand the incoming fire ships and make them unable to approach.

It was very lively to see the raging flames in the river, but it did not cause much damage to Wu's navy. The boat on the top of the giant tree seemed to be thrashing under the claws of a tiger, and it burned to a pile of ashes in a short time.

The morale of Wu Guo's navy was greatly boosted, and it didn't take long to advance several miles, only two miles away from Weiyuan Road, and forced into the gate of the Yanjun Navy's stronghold.

But in front of the water village of Yan State, there are densely packed iron chains blocking the river, and the iron chains as thick as a child's arm laughed ferociously at Wu Guo's navy.

Wu Jun at the top of the city watched the progress of the navy nervously. At this time, the Yan Jun cavalry galloped back and forth, and the soldiers in the city did not dare to go out of the city to meet them.

Nan Gongshi is a general who focuses on stability.

Wu Guo's navy immediately changed formation, the building and boats moved back, and many fishing boats and bamboo rafts came out from between the two boats.

Seeing that the top was also piled up with fire starters, following an order, a big fire was ignited and rushed towards the iron chain.

Although the Yan army reacted, the trebuchets on the shore tried their best to intercept them, but there were many bamboo rafts, and even if they were broken, they would still go down the river.

There are iron hooks on these bamboo rafts, and when they rush to hang between the iron cables, the boat will stop moving and burn blazingly between the iron cables.

"Qianxun's iron lock sinks to the bottom of the river, and stones come out from a stream of streamers."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yun Yi thought of this famous poem, and said to Fansi beside him: "Nan Gongyan really deserves to be a famous general. As far as water warfare is concerned, Yan Jun is no match."

Fansi looked at Wuyue who was stuffing steamed buns into his mouth, and covered his mouth with a smile, "Otherwise, why would they put you aside, such a big battle is not for you, hehe, those soldiers can lie down and go to the city to take Silver."

Seeing that what Fairy said was so funny, Yun Yi also laughed, "Victory comes first, and everything is for victory. As long as we can win, our personal honor and disgrace are nothing."

Although the iron rope is thick, the fire is ruthless. With the subsequent addition of bamboo rafts and boats, the entire river surface seems to have overturned the alchemy furnace of the Supreme Lord. Even though they are far away, Yun Yi can still feel the heat blowing towards his face .

A burst of fire finally burned the iron chain blocking the river. The Wu Guo Navy was not in a hurry to attack, but released many small boats to take away the inverted sharp cone in the heart of the river.

It can be said that until now, the state of Wu has gained the upper hand, and the state of Yan was unable to carry out effective blocking due to the large gap between the navy and the state of Yan. As a result, the shore-based weapons could not exert too much power. flat.

Seeing the victory again, cheers resounded from the top of Weiyuan City, and the soldiers and civilians were surrounded for many days. The hearts of the soldiers and civilians were always in suspense. Seeing that this worry was about to fall to the ground, the joy was naturally indescribable.

The iron chain was broken, and the sharp cone at the bottom of the river was also taken away. The Yan Guo Navy had no way to retreat. Amid the sound of war drums, they carried out a suicide attack.

The tonnage of the two ships is different, Wu Guolou's ship has the upper hand, even if Yan Guo's small boat approaches with stone bullets, the two sides are fighting hand-to-hand, Wu Guo also has the absolute upper hand.

Yan's army had a maximum of a hundred men in a ship, but Wu State had a thousand-man ship. With one order, arrows were shot like locusts, and the river was stained red with blood in a short time.

Yan State's trebuchets were also firing desperately, but the results were limited. After Wu State defeated the Yan Army's navy, even if a few large ships were sunk, it was irrelevant to the overall situation.

After the last warship of the Yan State was eliminated, the river was empty, and the trebuchets on the shore were basically destroyed by the Wu State.

"Won!"

Although the cheers had not yet sounded, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the marching horn sounded on the flagship of Marshal Wu Guoshui.

As long as they break through the water village of Wu Jun, they will soon be able to approach the water gate of Weiyuan City - Yongjin Gate.

Open this door, and the fleet can enter Weiyuan City by going down the river.
