Chapter 730

Grabbing the Artillery

Zhe Yanzhi had just sent someone to call the door of Huangzhou City when he heard a horn. The sound was low, like a ghost in this quiet night.

After muttering something bad, Orihiko turned around in a hurry. He saw an unknown number of people rushing out of the nearby woods. Without saying a word, they rushed straight towards the boat docked.

At this time, Inspector Tan had just brought people ashore, and they collided with the people who came. They were fighting together at the dock on the shore.

The combat effectiveness of the army depends to a large extent on the formation and the cooperation between the soldiers. Without the formation and mutual cooperation, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. The army led by Tan's inspection team was completely unprepared and suddenly encountered the enemy.

They were unable to cooperate effectively at night and were quickly killed and dispersed.

Orihiko took a waist sword and took his guards with him to prevent the enemy's attack. He had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he still ordered the guards to form a formation in a hurry. However, the enemy was not interested in him, and only a small number of people were left to contain the large army.

Still, they attacked the big ship docked.

As the saying goes, two fists are difficult to beat with four hands. In fact, for real masters, this is not the case. Although there are many enemies, as long as the movements are not synchronized, it is still easy to be caught. One person can fight four or five, or even one

Twenty people are possible. But for the army, it is a completely different matter. Two soldiers can quickly form coordination, and several soldiers can form a formation. Military formations are not about how powerful they are, but how they can restrain the soldiers in the formation.

Actions, attack and defend together.

At this time, no matter how powerful the master is, his two fists are still hard to beat with four hands. The movements of the soldiers can be made at the same time and cooperate with each other. When the movements are synchronized, there is no time difference between them, and the advantage of having more people becomes apparent. You fight this

, at the same time another attack was coming, and there was no time to dodge.

The army was dispersed, and the unprepared Tan Inspector was quickly at a disadvantage. These were not well-trained soldiers and could not turn the tide of the battle in a short time. What was even worse was that everyone was preparing to disembark, and the soldiers guarding the ship were unable to prepare for it.

Bow and arrow.

The power of bows and arrows also lies in volley shooting. A few people firing bows cannot stop a large group of enemies. Soon a large number of enemy troops will board the ship.

Upstairs in Qixia, Xu Wen held a wine glass in his hand and stood in front of the railing, watching the battle on the riverside by the moonlight.

He Ning stood aside with a nervous expression. She grasped the railing firmly with both hands and wanted to crush the railing.

Seeing her own people surrounding the ship, He Ning asked Xu Wendao: "Zhizong, it seems we are going to win!"

Xu Wendao said: "We already have many people, and we are caught by surprise. What can we do to defeat the capital? The outcome of this battle has been determined from the moment their ship docked. Okay, you send people to prepare horses, we

Go to Tuanfeng Town overnight."

He Ning said yes. She took a hard look at the fighting below, and then hurriedly led the people away.

Xu Wen turned around, raised the wine glass in his hand, and drank it all in one gulp.

More than a thousand people came to Huangzhou, determined to seize Zhe Yanzhi's artillery. As long as Zhe Yanzhi was forced to dock, the battle would be won. If Zhe Yanzhi was a big ship in the river, Xu Wen couldn't

There was really nothing that could be done about him in the Yangtze River. It was just that Zheyan was not familiar with water, so he fell into the trap.

Inspector Tan led people to protect Zhe Yanzhi and said helplessly: "Du Cheng, the ship has been occupied by thieves. Alas, what should we do?"

Zheyan said: "As long as you guard the way these people go, don't be afraid of them! The cannon on the ship weighs more than 2,000 kilograms. I don't believe they can carry it!"

Inspector Tan sighed and said nothing more. Zhe Yanzhi's idea was too naive. These people were lying in wait here, how could they not think of a solution?

After fighting their way to the ship, several big men quickly walked to the back deck. They saw several cannons tied tightly there, and a group of Song troops stood next to them.

A big man raised his head and laughed. He said: "It is indeed here! You guys, if you don't want to be stabbed, you should hide aside early! Grandpa will kill these artillery! Whoever dares to stop will be killed with one stab!"

After saying that, he strode forward. A Song soldier blocked him with a gun, but was knocked down by the big man with a knife, and blood spattered out. The other Song soldiers were already frightened. After seeing this scene, their legs were all trembling. Who dared to stop these people.

The big man ordered his men to untie the rope of the cannon. He walked to the side of the boat, faced the vast river, and blew a whistle.

I heard a responding whistle from the dark shadow on the river. After a while, several small boats emerged from the darkness and arrived next to the big ship.

The big man said: "Is that Commander He? Are you guys ready?"

Next, Commander He said: "Get ready early! Put down the artillery quickly, we have to hurry!"

The big man said: "He's coming soon! I heard that there are still a few artillery craftsmen. We need to look for them. If we go ashore, there will be Song troops to stop them. Let them get on your ship with the artillery! We will stop the Song troops on the shore.

!”

Commander He said yes. He was just urging.

After a while, the Jin army untied the rope of the artillery and pushed it to the side of the ship. They made a shelf on the side and tied the cannon with a rope. A dozen people hoisted it up together. They spotted the boat below and lifted it.

The artillery was slowly lowered.

Commander He led his men to pull the lowered artillery to his ship and carefully lowered it. After placing it securely, he untied the rope.

Although the boat is small, it is not difficult to load several kilograms of items. Only two small boats were used to load the artillery steadily.

As soon as the artillery was installed, Commander He immediately ordered the boat to row into the dark night and wait there. The Song Dynasty's boat was too big, so it was safer to stay farther away.

On the ship, several big men searched inside and outside the cabin, and finally found the artillery craftsman in the bottom bilge. Without any explanation, they caught them all, tied them like rice dumplings, tied them with ropes, and put them on the boat below.

When everything was ready, the big man on the boat picked up a torch and started setting a fire randomly. He said: "Zhi Niang, these southerners are good at making boats. Let's burn their boats and see what else they can do! Brothers, start a fire.

, let’s go!”

Zhe Yanzhi watched the big ship on fire on the shore and couldn't help complaining. He said to Inspector Tan: "Inspector, please organize people to put out the fire! If the ship is burned, won't the artillery sink into the river?"

Inspector Tan shook his head and sighed. Looking at the current situation, how could Orihiko naively think that the artillery was still on the ship? In the vast river, as long as there are a few small boats, the artillery can be transported away. Before docking, it was like a ghost.

What is the boat for?

The fire on the ship was getting bigger and bigger, but the shouts of killing on the shore were getting smaller and smaller. This group of thieves came suddenly and left silently.

Zhe Yanzhi stood there, looking at the chaotic pier, which suddenly became quiet. He didn't know what to do for a moment. After a while, he shouted to Inspector Tan: "Quick, go put out the fire! If

If the ship sinks, the cannon will be lost!"

Inspector Tan said: "To be honest with Du Cheng, the thieves snatched the cannon before setting it on fire and transported it away in a small boat. They burned our boat and there was no way to pursue it."

"It was robbed? The artillery was just robbed?" Zhe Yanzhi murmured while looking at Tan's inspection.

Inspector Tan said: "Du Cheng, this group of thieves came here to grab the artillery. First, the boat disturbed our minds on the river and forced us to dock. Then we ambush soldiers and horses on the shore early, and they came up to kill us as soon as we docked.

The boat was waiting on the river, and after seizing the boat, the cannon was transported away. Alas, the person who did this must not be an ordinary person."

Zheyan said angrily: "You already knew this, why didn't you come to persuade me earlier?"

Inspector Tan said: "How could I have known it for a long time? It's just that the thieves have robbed the artillery and deduced it."
