Chapter 229: Burning the Xuzhou Navy
"vomit……"
Li Guang's face was pale and he was lying on the edge of the parapet of the warship, vomiting constantly.
He enthusiastically joined the Langya Kingdom Navy, but ended up getting seasick and soon lost his combat effectiveness.
This was not the first time Xu Sheng encountered such a situation, so he arranged the weak Li Guang into the cabin of his warship.
We haven't even gone into battle yet, but we have already lost one of our generals.
"It's really worrying..."
Xu Sheng thought this was an unfortunate sign.
In fact, Li Guang was just unlucky for himself and his troops, and it did not have much impact on the luck of the entire legion.
"Li Guang seems to be seasick."
"It's up to us next."
Of the three tiger generals, only Xue Li and Zhao Yun remain.
…
"General Cao Bao, warship! Langya Kingdom's warship!"
The Xuzhou Navy escorted 30,000 units of grain to Tancheng, and encountered the Langya Navy going downstream in the river near Tancheng.
Cao Bao hurriedly walked out of the cabin and came to the deck to give instructions.
Wang Lang, who served as military advisor, came to the deck at the same time and saw a naval division appearing on the upper reaches of the river, with about a hundred warships. He couldn't help but panic.
Although the other party doesn't have a building ship, he doesn't have one either.
The building ship is already a mid-to-late warship.
"The opponent must be fully confident when he takes the initiative to move south. General Cao should avoid his edge."
When Wang Lang faced the Langya Navy, his first reaction was to avoid fighting.
"Our navy has many ships and soldiers, so why should we be afraid?"
Cao Bao observed that the ships and numbers of the Langya Navy on the opposite side were only half of his own fleet, or even less.
He also had a vast fleet of waterships transporting 30,000 units of grain. The number seemed to be several times greater than that of Xu Sheng, who only had warships.
Cao Bao raised his arms and shouted: "Last time, the defenders of Langya Kingdom burned down my army of 100,000 men. This time, I, Cao Bao, am going to defeat the navy of Langya Kingdom and show off the power of our army! Beat the drums and attack!"
When the Xuzhou Navy saw the flag of Cao Bao's ship, they immediately beat the drums, commanded the sailors to paddle hard, and took the initiative to attack Xu Sheng's Navy on the Yi River!
"Is Cao Bao crazy? He dares to attack when he is in the lower reaches... The fire fleet is dispatched."
Xu Sheng was ready to sacrifice a group of sentry boats and wooden boats. With an order, hundreds of small boats, driven by sailors, followed the river to launch a fire attack on the Xuzhou Navy!
Xu Sheng accurately judged the water flow, and Xuzhou Navy was unable to avoid it!
The sailors had already been trained by Xu Sheng. When they were about to approach the Xuzhou Navy, they lit the straw piled up in the wooden boat and jumped into the river. The fire spread rapidly and expanded in all directions!
"Another fire attack!"
Cao Bao's scalp exploded.
This is the second time he has been attacked by fire!
The navy of Langya Kingdom is located upstream, and the fire ships are extremely fast. In addition, Xu Sheng specializes in training sailors to conduct fire attacks. At this time, it is too late to escape!
Hundreds of fire ships sailed south to attack Xuzhou Navy, turning the Yi River into a sea of fire.
"Quickly put out the fire, send out small boats to block the fire ships and protect the canals!"
Wang Lang was so anxious that he blew his beard and stared, rolled up his robe, and wished he could take the initiative to help the frightened Cao Bao command the navy.
The navy of 20,000 men was in chaos.
The successful fire attack not only destroyed some of the warships on the opposite side, but also greatly reduced the morale of Xuzhou Navy!
"Attack on all fronts!"
Xu Sheng beat the drum, and the navy of Langya Kingdom took advantage of the opponent's navy to take a fatal blow and immediately went south!
Regardless of whether it was a stern warship or a walking warship, its body was flexible and its speed was very fast. It quickly approached the Xuzhou Navy.
There was a sea of fire all around, and many of Xuzhou Navy's ships were covered in raging flames. The soldiers on board were forced to jump into the river to escape.
Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun held long bows in their hands and shot the Xuzhou Navy archers on the opposite side across the warship.
Thousands of arrows were fired, and a number of Xuzhou Navy soldiers fell.
In order to use the fire attack to the end, Xu Sheng ordered the archers of the Soochow Navy to use fire arrows to set fire to the warships of the Xuzhou Navy!
Except for the cowhide of the stern, which could withstand fire arrows, the other boats were quickly set on fire by Soochow Navy archers, with billowing black smoke billowing out.
boom!
Zhao Yun's ship accidentally collided with a ship of the Xuzhou Navy. The violent vibration caused Zhao Yun and the navy soldiers to stagger and almost fall.
"There are differences between water battles and horse battles..."
Zhao Yun found that his ability in water battles had declined, and he was probably still not used to it. He might not be a match for Gan Ning and other water generals.
Even so, Zhao Yun led the fourth-level soldiers of the Soochow Navy to the deck of the Xuzhou Navy and broke off a spear thrust from the opposite side. He was incredibly brave!
The spears swept across, and the Xuzhou Navy soldiers on the opposite side retreated one after another, looking at the silver-armored young general who was coming to kill them in fear.
There were two silver-armored generals from the Langya Kingdom who participated in the Battle of Hulao Pass and their reputation spread throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty!
Even if Zhao Yun's force is affected by the unfamiliar water battle, Zhao Yun can still lead a dozen Soochow navy soldiers to rampage on the enemy's warship until he kills the opponent's soldiers and captures the entire warship!
As for the sailors who rowed the oars, as well as the warship, they all became Zhao Yun's prisoners.
The navy soldiers of both sides fought fiercely. Xu Sheng's main battleship was flanked by two Xuzhou Navy ships. Xu Sheng personally drew his bow and shot the Xuzhou Navy archers on the enemy ships.
The soldier on the opposite side threw out a flying hook, hooked onto Xu Sheng's stern, and shortened the distance between the ships on both sides.
As long as Xu Sheng is killed through a series of battles, they may be able to turn defeat into victory!
Xu Sheng was not in a hurry. He held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and led his soldiers to kill the Xuzhou Navy soldiers who tried to board the ship.
Xue Rengui's warships were eyeing the warships used by Cao Bao to command.
Cao Bao's warship is a fifth-level battleship. This is a warship that is more advanced than the warship and is majestic.
Xue Rengui saw the warship at a glance, so he ordered the sailors to approach the warship where Cao Bao was.
"What should I do..."
Seeing a sea of fire all around, Cao Bao's command was in confusion, and he didn't realize that he still had a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Xuzhou Navy's warships and number of people are twice that of Langya Navy. The ship of Xu Sheng, the commander of Langya Navy, is being attacked by Xuzhou Navy. If Cao Bao can regain his strength, he may not be unable to fight back.
But now Cao Bao was frightened by the fire attack and just wanted to escape as soon as possible: "Retreat, retreat immediately!"
The fifth-level battleships raised the flag to retreat. Some of the ships that had not been burned and were still fighting hard saw that their commanders had given up resistance, so they retreated one after another.
The retreating warships in the front collided with the grain-carrying cannons in the rear, making the scene even more chaotic.
"General Cao, what are you doing?!"
Wang Lang wanted to stop Cao Bao from retreating, but it was too late.
After issuing a retreat order, if an attack order is issued again, the inconsistent orders will completely disrupt the fleet.
"We have been defeated. The only way to survive is to escape..."
Cao Bao wanted to get away with it, but the battleship suddenly shook violently, and Cao Bao and Wang Lang staggered around.
"The soldiers of Langya Kingdom are ready to board the ship! Cut off their flying hooks quickly!"
The soldiers of the Xuzhou Navy on the fighting ship were in a panic. A stern had just hit the fighting ship.
Two or three flying hooks had already hooked the half-wall of the fighting ship. Xue Rengui led the navy soldiers to board the fighting ship where Cao Bao was.
The sailors on the stern threw Fang Tian's painted halberd to Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui took Fang Tian's painted halberd and killed everyone on the deck!
Xuzhou Navy soldiers armed with swords and halberds kept coming to expel Xue Rengui, but they were killed by Xue Rengui and a dozen Soochow Navy soldiers.
The Xuzhou Navy soldiers closely protected the two generals Cao Bao and Wang Lang.
Xue Rengui dragged Fang Tian's painted halberd and killed a guard, causing blood to splash onto Wang Lang's face.
Wang Lang was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, looking at this fierce general who looked like a god of war in horror.
One Xue Rengui and a dozen Soochow Navy soldiers killed dozens of Xuzhou Navy soldiers!
"Death!"
Cao Bao's subordinates shouted loudly and wanted to kill Xue Rengui with a big sword.
With a clang, the sword was thrown away, and the general was killed by Xue Rengui using Fang Tian's painted halberd. Red and white splashed all over Wang Lang, a scholar.
"I...I surrender..."
Cao Bao was frightened and quickly kowtowed to surrender.
"And you?"
Xue Rengui lifted Wang Lang up with one hand.
Wang Lang truly felt what it means to be powerless in front of a fierce general like Xue Rengui.
"Since General Cao, as the general, surrenders...surrender, then I also..."
Wang Lang found a step for himself.
So Cao Bao and Wang Lang became Xue Rengui's prisoners.
The battleship raised the white flag, and the Xuzhou navy was in an uproar. Their commander actually surrendered.
A large number of ships surrendered.
Some ships that were unwilling to surrender broke out and left.
The outcome of the battle between the two navies was decided. More than 5,000 units of food were burned, and more than 20,000 units of food became spoils of war.
"With so much food, Tao Qian is really rich. No wonder he can keep recruiting troops and lose tens of thousands of people at every turn."
Sun Liuwan kicked open the wooden door of the canal. Inside were bags of grain and grass for the frontline soldiers.
Twenty thousand units of grain can feed an army of two hundred thousand for more than a month.
"With this batch of food, our food problem in Langya Country can be alleviated."
Xu Sheng was also a little surprised by Tao Qian's wealth. This was food and grass from four counties.
But from now on, this batch of grain and grass has become the spoils of war for the Langya Kingdom.
Xu Sheng estimated that he burned more than a hundred enemy ships, large and small, and captured hundreds of warships and canoes.
"Escort Cao Bao, Wang Lang and this batch of grain and grass to Xiacheng."
Xu Sheng counted the spoils and knew that this time he had made a great contribution.
In the contest with Tao Qian, Xia Liang's battle with Langya Kingdom was the first achievement, followed by this battle on the Yi River.
The water battle that took place in the Yi River area was quickly detected by the scouts on the shore. News of the defeat of the Xuzhou Navy reached Tancheng where the Xuzhou coalition camp was gathering, and the coalition forces were shocked!
Thirty thousand grains were burned and robbed, and Tancheng fell into a food crisis!
After the navy was destroyed, it would take time to reorganize the navy. During this period, the coalition forces could only use horse-drawn carriages and wooden carts to transport food, which greatly affected the efficiency of food and grass supply!
"The food stored in Tancheng can still supply an army of 200,000 for two months. After two months, the food must be transported by land. Transporting food by land is time-consuming and laborious."
"They control the Yi River and may attack Xiapi and our grain roads at any time!"
The lords of Xuzhou fell into panic.
"Chu Zimou is forcing us to leave the city for a decisive battle."
"He has many generals, and he is hoping that we will go out of the city to fight with them. Don't fall into his trap."
"If we don't leave the city, once we are surrounded by him, Tancheng's teleportation array will be ineffective, and all of us will starve to death here!"
Just when all the lords were uneasy because of the naval defeat, Xiang Yan and his lords stepped forward to calm everyone's mood: "We have a large number of troops, and we may not lose if we fight outside the city."
A lord said sternly: "Chu Zimou has many fierce generals under his command, and they are all elite divisions. Once he chooses to go out of the city for a decisive battle, he will play into his own hands!"
Another lord supported: "Yes. Someone has made statistics. The military god Chu Zimou was not defeated in any field battle. Wu Sangui, Xu Sheng, and Dorgon were all defeated by him."
"Don't worry, everyone. I have already calculated that we are at least 80% sure of winning."
Su Xin, the lord of Guangling County, appeared and believed that Yang Ye and Xiang Yan would win with a high probability of joining forces.
"Are you really so sure?"
"Believe me, with an army of 200,000 and our trump cards, victory will be easy."
"Su Xin, we believe in you and hope you will not lead us to failure."
The lord of Guangling County occupied the territory of a county, which was comparable to the size of Langya Kingdom. He also had the famous general Yang Ye, and the lord of Xuzhou took him as his leader.
"You will soon see that the war god Chu Zimou, who has been victorious in every battle, was defeated and begged for mercy."
In Xiacheng, Chutian didn't know that he had another nickname of "Military God". He was overjoyed to learn that Xu Sheng defeated the Xuzhou Navy in one battle, captured Cao Bao and Wang Lang alive, and seized 20,000 units of military rations.
"Wang Lang, Wang Situ..."
Chu Tian did not expect that the navy camp could capture this famous person.
Wang Lang later became a Situ of the Wei Kingdom, and his granddaughter Wang Yuanji became the queen of the Jin Dynasty.
It's just that Wang Lang is still very young now, and Wang Yuanji was not born yet.
If Wang Yuanji is born in the future, she might be able to marry her grandson...
Chu Tian was thinking about it, but he couldn't take advantage of the Sima family.
Considering that Wang Yuanji is still too far away, Chu Tian first solves the current problems.
Cao Bao is a representative of the family who supports Tao Qian. Chu Tian can definitely execute him and completely eliminate Tao Qian's influence.
Wang Lang was born in the Donghai Wang family. If he surrendered, he might be able to pacify the Donghai Kingdom.
After all, Chu Tian's current background is also from a wealthy family. After he completely defeats Tao Qian, the probability of recruiting Wang Lang to surrender is not low.
"The grain and grass were transported to Xiacheng to stock up. We have the grain and grass for the war. Cao Bao and Wang Lang are imprisoned in the dungeon, waiting for disposal."
Chutian knew that after the Navy took control of the Yi River, the time was ripe for launching a decisive battle.
"Three days later, we will send troops to attack Xuzhou. We must capture Tancheng!"
Chutian issued a mobilization order, and the 60,000-strong army to attack Xuzhou was ready to go!
In addition to the 60,000-strong army, the Langya Kingdom also recruited 40,000 local warriors to assist in transporting grain and grass, defending the city, and patrolling.
The Langya Kingdom's military strength has reached its limit. It temporarily mobilized all its war potential for one thing - to occupy Xuzhou!
"Prime Minister Langya, Fubo General Chu Zimou is preparing to send troops to attack Xuzhou!"
"If Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian cannot block Chu Zimou's attack, Xuzhou Mu's position will change hands!"
All players in the Eastern Han Dynasty have set their sights on Xuzhou. For the first time, a foreign lord has challenged the position of Zhou Mu!
Although all the great lords have the idea of challenging Zhou Mu, Chu Zimou of Xuzhou is the one most likely to succeed because he has an army of 60,000 for attack and a large number of famous generals!
