Chapter 517

Yong Kai was about forty years old, with a burly figure, a big head as big as a bucket, with a rough square face and a vicious eyes like a snake. At this time, he was standing on a high ground on a horse, staring at the thousands of warships that suddenly appeared on the river in shock. Although he also felt that this might be a warship in Jingzhou, Jianning County where he was located was remote and had low news, so he could not have as sufficient information as Huang Quan, Pang Xi and others.

In addition to being shocked, he still couldn't believe that the Jingzhou warship would appear in Jiangzhou. He didn't expect that this was the main force of the 50,000 Jingzhou Army led by Liu Jing himself.

"The army gathers together and stops siege!" Yong Kai shouted loudly.

Although he did not think about whether to fight this navy, it was obvious that he could no longer continue to attack the city.

Thirty-five thousand southern coalition forces quickly assembled. The reason why they were called coalition forces was because the ethnic composition in this army was complex, including Han people, barbarians, and some Qiang people. Since the Yong family, as a military aristocrat of the Han Dynasty, had a strong force in southern Yizhou, the leader of southern Yizhou was actually Yongqiu.

At this time, the King of Yue Yi Gao Ding urged him to come forward and asked, "Brother, where is the navy?"

"I don't know either, but Yizhou does not have such a powerful naval army. I guess it is the Jingzhou army."

"Liu Jing?" Gao Ding asked in surprise.

Yong Kai nodded, "I can't think of anyone else besides him."

"Damn it! Why did the Jingzhou Army come?"

Gao Ding cursed angrily, and he asked again: "Do I fight or not?"

Yong Kai looked back and saw that although his soldiers fought fiercely, most of them were wearing vine armor or leather armor, and the range of bows and arrows was only a few dozen steps. He was able to defeat Yan Yan because he succeeded entirely by ambush. If he was fighting head-on, his 40,000 people might not be the opponent of Yan Yan's 20,000 troops.

But people are very strange and are often deceived by illusions. Even though Yong Kai knew that their equipment was not as good as the Yizhou army, he began to believe in his strength and felt that the Jingzhou army was irresistible. Their courage and morale would definitely defeat their opponents.

At this time, Zhu Bao, the prefect of Jihua, also rode a horse and rushed over and bowed, "Brother, brothers, you are unwilling to give up Jiangzhou!"

Yong Kai looked at Gao Ding again, and Gao Ding pondered for a while and said, "I don't want to give up Jiangzhou City either."

"good!"

Yong Kai nodded, "Tell me my order and prepare for battle. Be sure to wipe out the Jingzhou army in one battle!"

















The embankment where Jiangzhou City Wharf can be moored is about three miles wide, but the three-mile-long embankment is densely filled with black soldiers, with a population of about eight thousand people. They were wearing rattan armor, holding rattan shields and spears, and lined up on the shore, forming a spectacular shield wall.

Liu Jing stood at the bow of the boat, staring at the enemy on the shore coldly. He did not expect that Yong Kai would decide to fight to the death with him. This was very good. He needed to use the heads and blood of these people to establish his position in Bashu.

At this time, Pang Xi walked up and whispered: "Mr. Zhou Mu, these are all barbarians, but just ordinary men who acted in one go. As long as they hit them, their morale would quickly collapse. However, his vine armor was very strong, and his defense against the bow and crossbow exceeded that of the leather armor, and he could attack with fire."

Liu Jing nodded. Their Jingzhou army was an expert in playing with fire. He turned around and ordered: "Order Shen Mi to lead his troops to attack the east with tinder oil."

A soldier was driving a small boat to pass the order. At this time, Liu Hu was approaching in a small boat. He shouted under the boat: "Zhou Governor, give us heavy armored infantry a chance!"

Liu Jing leaned his head and saw that he looked full of anticipation, so he smiled and said, "I'll leave the west side to you, and open a gap for me to log in."

Liu Hu was overjoyed, "As for the order!" He waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to return to his big ship.

At this time, the rumbling sound of war drums came from the east. This was the sound of Shen Mi leading fifty warships to prepare for an attack. They will use the long snake formation to launch a turbulent offensive. This is the most effective offensive formation to deal with the shore soldiers cluster. Fifty thousand stone warships are connected to the end of the river, arranged in one line, like a huge python wandering on the river.

All fifty warships were equipped with impellers. At this time, the sails had been closed. The soldiers on the ship stepped on the impeller. The ship was walking against the river. The leader of the ship led the fleet to circle a circle on the river surface and slowly drove on the water about sixty steps away from the river bank.

On the river bank were defending the eight thousand Yi people army led by the Yi King Gao Ding, and the three thousand crossbow troops transferred by Yong Kai. Seeing the Jingzhou warships approaching the shore, Gao Ding became nervous, and he shouted, "Shoot the arrow!"

Three thousand crossbowmen shot arrows at the same time, and arrows shot at Jingzhou warships overwhelmed, but the arrows shot against the wind and the range was not far, so they could not form lethality on the warships. Small catapults stood on the deck, and each large ship was equipped with cross catapults.

This catapult is not big, only one person tall, and the pole is three meters long, and can be operated by only five people. Although it looks very short and capable compared to the large catapult, it has amazing elasticity and can throw stones weighing more than ten kilograms to a hundred steps away.

Four soldiers pushed the winch, which squeaked and tightened. Another soldier put a pot of ten kilograms of tinder oil into the iron pocket. He grabbed the control iron rod, pulled it down hard, and loosened it. The three-meter-long arm rod suddenly swung out and smashed the pot of tinder oil into the enemy group on the shore.

The ten trenchers on the large ship were launched almost at the same time. The clay pots rolled in the air, the mud mouths of several clay pots spread out, and the tincture oil spilled out. The soldiers on the shore dodged one after another. The ten clay pots hit the shore one after another, the tanks were broken and the tincture oil flowed all over the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the tincture oil tanks on the second ship were also covered with the sky. More than a dozen large ships passed by, and the shore about dozens of feet wide was covered with tincture oil. The soldiers of the Yi people had never seen this substance. Apart from the pungent smell, they had almost no lethality.

Many soldiers regarded this light yellow liquid as urine, pointed at the big ship and laughed and scolded, and many soldiers even spread their pants and urinated into the river.

At this time, King Yi Gaoding urged the horse to come to Yong Kai and handed a broken pot to Yong Kai, "Brother, see what this is?"

Yong Kai's fruit pot looked at it and found that it was a light yellow liquid inside, full of pungent smell. He frowned and asked the generals on both sides, "Who sees this kind of water?"

Gao Ding smiled and said, "Brothers all say it's urine, and the Jingzhou army is performing witchcraft."

From the outside, this liquid is indeed very similar to urine. All the generals laughed, but at this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Fire! It's getting fire!"

Everyone looked at the riverside together and was stunned. They saw countless rockets shooting from the river. The fire on the shore was burning rapidly. The fire instantly swallowed up more than a thousand soldiers on the shore. The soldiers screamed and fled in scattered. Most of them were on fire. Many of them had just run a few steps before they fell into the fire.

The fierce fire was burning, the flames soared into the sky, the smoke rolled, and the sound was terrifying. However, the ships on the river continued to shoot the turbulent oil tanks onto the shore, making the fire even more intense. It was not until this time that Yong Kai realized that the things in his hand were actually terrifying fire demon liquid, which scared him to throw the pot away.

Just when the coalition forces on the shore were stunned by the fire in the east, on the other side of the embankment, Liu Hu led two thousand heavy soldiers to launch a landing battle, and also deployed three thousand barrages on the river bank hundreds of steps wide to the west. They were not affected by tinder oil and barely maintained their formation.

As the fire broke out in the east, more than a dozen warships rushed towards the shore. Heavy crossbows on the warships were fired at the enemy group. The iron arrows were extremely powerful and shot through the vine armor on the body of the Yi soldiers. The screams suddenly sounded, and groups of soldiers were shot down. After only two rounds of arrows, more than 300 people died tragically under the arrows.

A large ship banged up to the embankment, and the boat boards were placed on the shore. Teams of heavily armored infantry rushed to the shore with their slashing sabers. The five of them lined up and down, swung up and down, and rushed into the group of enemies that had gathered again. The sword light flashed and the flesh and blood flew everywhere. They were like extremely fierce giant crocodiles. Wherever they passed, there were broken limbs and flesh, blood mist everywhere, and the heads rolled on the ground, killing a bloody road.

A thousand heavy armored infantry opened the gap, and the main force of the Jingzhou army began to land in the west. At this time, Jingzhou's powerful strength greatly shocked the coalition forces. The fire burned countless people to death. The bloody killing of heavy armored infantry made people even more frightened. A strong sense of fear quickly spread among the coalition forces. The originally arrogant arrogance disappeared, his morale was sluggish, and his morale was shaken.

Even the chief general Yong Kai had a hint of fear. He never knew that the Jingzhou army was so strong and fierce. He began to think of retreating in his heart. At this time, Zhu Bao, who was responsible for the left wing defense, rode a horse and ran over. He shouted loudly: "Brother, the situation is a bit bad, let's retreat!"

For barbarians and barbarians, they are even more fierce than tigers, but when they encounter real enemies, they run faster than rabbits and will never fight to the death. Moreover, many people are still thinking about the property and women they stayed in the camp, and they have no intention of fighting again.

Yong Kai was a little worried. He knew that it was too late to withdraw the troops now. The Jingzhou army had landed. They would inevitably be pursued when they retreated. But if they resisted, they would be almost sure to win. Yong Kai secretly regretted that he would not have shown up his might and fought with the Jingzhou army if he had known.

Just when Yong Kai was hesitating, the 10,000 Jingzhou troops who landed first launched an offensive. Under the personal command of commander Liu Jing, the soldiers of Jingzhou, with high morale, entered the eight thousand barbarians deployed on the shore. The army was unstoppable and unstoppable.

The eight thousand barbarians were burned to a low morale and panic. Under the impact of ten thousand Jingzhou troops and a thousand heavily armored infantry, the defensive formation collapsed in less than a quarter of an hour and the entire line collapsed. Thousands of soldiers were yelling in fear and ran westward.

Their collapse also led to the escape of five thousand barbarian soldiers. Just like an avalanche, more than 30,000 coalition soldiers collapsed and ran westward without any chance.

Their camp is located in Weijiang Town, more than a hundred miles away. The camp contains the property they stolen and young women. Even if they are defeated, they do not want to give up on their money and belongings. Many people have the same idea and take the woman home with the money and belongings, and no longer go north to work hard for Yong Kai.
