Chapter 28: Boarding

Just when Fang Lin and his party were about to fall into a bitter battle, two more battleships with the word "Zhao" flying in the air rushed over, sandwiching the Mengchong ship on the left and right in the noisy waves. In the center, like two big mastiffs stretched out, many scratching hooks were put up on the board in an instant. Hundreds of soldiers swarmed up, and the Wu army also poured out from the cabin and fought together.

This Mengchong ship was originally built for this kind of boarding battle. Therefore, the troop transport lanes on both sides are not only surprisingly wide, but also extremely strong. Under the battle with hundreds of thousands of people, it can handle it with ease without any difficulty. Seems crowded.

After all, Fang Lin and his party were a team of three. If there were more than ten people, then they would have to face the Wu army's attack here alone, and there would be no Shu army coming to help. Although the Wu army on the ship had a numerical advantage, the thirty or so big men who were the first to come to the aid of the Shu army were carefully selected at first glance. They held a thick steel shield that was almost as tall as a person in both hands. Plugging it hard into the ground, it formed a deep steel defense line, which easily prevented the hundreds of leather-armored archers in the front section of the army from shooting, and the long stabbing spears shining with mysterious light were like the teeth of beasts. The front of the shield formation was thrust out. Bloodthirsty trees stand in the sun.

The Shu army resorted to such a tactics, obviously not seeking merit first, but seeking no faults, so as to establish themselves in an invincible position. Such a step-by-step tactic made Wu Jun feel like he was pulling a turtle and had nowhere to start. Although the ship was shaking violently, once it gained a stable footing, the heavy shield played a disguised role in stabilizing the center of gravity. Wu Jun suffered heavy casualties and fell to the ground one after another.

But on the entire battlefield, the Soochow Army always had the upper hand. Even though they were disrupted by Fang Lin's sudden impact, the elite reinforcements came extremely quickly. The Shu army had just repelled the Wu army on its own ship, and two more stern ships docked next to it. But it was Soochow generals Gan Ning and Zhou Tai who came together!

The two generals also had extremely unique vision. They directly abandoned the Shu army in the battle group and led their own troops to catch up. The way they docked was quite mature. It felt like they had just a slight sway before they connected, and then Gan Ning's personal guards swarmed out like ants and faced Zhao Yun's iron shield soldiers!

This team of Gan Ning's soldiers has been crossing the Yangtze River for more than ten years. The predecessor was the ever-famous Jinfan Thief. After more than ten years of wind and frost killings on the Yangtze River, and no one knows how many tests of blood and fire, the various tactics and tactics on the water have been brewed to a pinnacle of perfection with time and experience!

Gan Ning was a big man with a rather gentle face. The flag officer next to him suddenly raised the buffalo horn in his hand and started blowing "wuwuwuwu". The sound was three long and one short, very rapid. . At this moment, Fang Lindi's pupils suddenly shrank, only because Gan Ning's nearly a hundred soldiers suddenly dispersed! It looked very messy, as if they were running away with no morale!

Scattered footsteps trampled across the cabin floor covered with blood. At this time, each Jinfan thief became an independent fighting unit. They don't need to take orders from anyone, they just rely on their own fighting instincts on the Yangtze River to attack and kill their opponents. There is only one goal, to cause as much damage to the opponent as possible.

But the attacking Shu soldiers and horses were firmly protected by dozens of thick subway shields in front of them. How should the Jinfan thieves attack?

The answer to this question soon came.

From behind the cover, they pulled out arrows with guncotton-wrapped arrowheads from their waists. After lighting it, he stood up boldly, then lit it on fire, and threw it high into the sky at a very high angle. When it fell, the thick smoke and fierce fire gave rise to screams and panic. This series of actions were all completed while the ship was shaking violently. In this situation, it would be difficult for ordinary people to stand firm on the deck, but these terrible water thieves were in danger. The complex tasks of drawing arrows, igniting, aiming, and projecting can be done smoothly and smoothly, as if they are daily chores.

After these dozens of people dispersed, they whistled loudly and wandered around, and once the boat shook violently. Then they ran and fired arrows outside the troop transport road. Attacking in a daze, others want to shoot them. It is difficult to aim amid the violent ship vibrations. These Jinfan thieves are constantly eating away at the opponent's soldiers and morale, and the arrows at their waists are simply inexhaustible. Such a one-sided attack seems to be endless. It's like there's no end to it.

Fang Lin and others hid behind a wooden fence. In such a large-scale battle, individual strength became quite small. It was like a stone being thrown into a small pond. Of course, the water splashed in the sky. But if you throw it into the rapids, you will only get two bubbles at most. At this time, I saw that the Shu army was at a disadvantage that was difficult to fight back. They were considering countermeasures when they suddenly heard a faint and confident voice ordering:

"Throw."

The sound was not very loud, but it spread throughout the battlefield in an instant!

As soon as Fang Lin turned around, he saw a handsome man who looked very gentle and calm. He was wearing a flowing blue robe, with black hair tied back. He had a temperament that blended gentleness and sternness. If it weren't for the blood stains on his body, And the pear blossom red tassel gun he held in his hand, he was almost mistaken for a scholar!

Although the man has not yet revealed his identity, Fang Lin and the others all had five words in their minds:

"Changshan Zhao Zilong!"

Zhao Yun gave the order, and at this moment, the steel shield team in front of the battlefield suddenly spread out, revealing more than fifty long-armed spearmen. They all threw the short guns in their hands, and the gun handles were hollow. It cut through the air while flying, and a series of thrilling screams suddenly sounded on the battlefield!

Because the short spear was not as heavy as a bow and arrow, its accuracy was extremely good. Jinfan Thief's soldiers instantly injured more than 60 people, and their strength was reduced by nearly one-third!

But after Zhao Yun saw the enemy's response, he suddenly tightened his grip on the spear in his hand, as if facing a formidable enemy!

The loud drumbeat suddenly sounded!

After cannibalizing, it is swallowed by whales! This is the consistent style of the Jinfan thief! Don't forget that on the entire battlefield, it was the Wu army that actually had the advantage of numbers and location. Just now, the Shu army formed a shield formation and seemed to be passively being beaten. In fact, the actual losses were not serious. Even if the Jinfan thieves continued to shoot like that, At most, they will only be injured and hard to die, and the Wu army is also afraid that reinforcements from the Shu army will arrive and wants to fight quickly. If it drags on, it will only lead to more risks!

The drums beat like thunder, and after forcing out the Shu army's rear, the Jinfan bandits, who looked as messy as ants, actually took this opportunity to rush over in a scattered formation! It was just that the formation was still scattered when the charge started, but halfway through the charge, it returned to that terrifying and brave navy army!

Such terrifying qualities and such an army made Zhao Yun start to nod slightly. Respect can not only be given to your own people, but also to your enemies - of course, the premise is that the opponent must be strong enough to win your respect.

This impact was really lightning fast. The Shu army's shield formation had just withdrawn and had to immediately fill it up. However, the Jinfan thieves suddenly divided their forces in front of the formation. The situation was as if the flowing water had cleverly bypassed a block. reef!

Their target is the flank that was still in chaos due to the change of formation!

Others held steel knives in their mouths, jumped into the water with a "plop", and then climbed up from the side next to the Shu army.

The weak flanks of the Shu army were easily torn open and pushed in. The Jinfan thieves' two groups of surprise soldiers were like two sharp and deadly knives, piercing the formation fiercely. The scary thing is that they don't fight in the formation at all, they just It was to attack immediately after breaking through, and then gather again at an accelerated rate to fight back and continue the behavior just now. However, the shield holder was already in chaos and difficult to move. Wu Jun's purpose of doing this was obvious, which was to destroy the resistance of the enemy in front of him to the maximum extent. heart. Until their military morale and morale are completely destroyed, then slowly take care of the mess!

However, when Zhao Yun's troops faced the terrifying offensive of the Jinfan thieves, they did not collapse as expected. Instead, under the extremely disadvantage that even the troops were separated, they launched an unprecedented fierce counterattack!

The one who charged forward was the handsome, scholarly, flowing blue figure!

When the Jinfan thief rushed into the formation again, he ran into Zhao Yun head-on! The cold light on the tip of the spear was soon dyed bright red. Zhao Yun fired the spear from top to bottom. His whole body leaped into the air, and then the spear whizzed down! This is his secret spear skill.

Dapeng spreads its wings!

In just an instant, seven or eight people were carried away and fell directly against the wall of the ship next to them. Blood quickly flowed out from under them and they stopped moving!

Following this opportunity to breathe, the shield bearer had rebuilt a solid line of defense. Although the depth was not as deep as before, the Jinfan thief's ten or so people could not hold back and hit the shield wall. Then several bayonet spears were inserted out and pinned them to the ground. Moreover, the masters around Zhao Yun were able to train them. His personal qualities as a soldier were fully demonstrated at this time. When they saw it, they also began to move around, or advance separately, or attack together, or fight close to each other, or shoot from a distance, fighting melee against melee.

Fang Lin, who was watching the battle with squinted eyes, had already seen that in terms of real fighting strength, the Wu army was inferior to the Shu army. However, the biggest feature of the water battle was that the ships were constantly swaying. Later, it was often difficult for the Shu army to adapt, so they were restrained. Fang Lin squinted his eyes. His mental power detection had already roughly surveyed the surrounding ships, and he had found a way to reverse the current disadvantage of the Shu army!
