Chapter 29 Iron Chain Across the River

The previous giant building ship was actually one of Sun Quan's ships. Therefore, the wood used to build the ship was specially made, and Zuo Ci and others were specially invited to bless it with Taoism. Therefore, the material was very hard and difficult to use. Destroying it, you can also effectively use the bulkhead to block Fang Lin's mental power detection.

At this time, Fang Lin had already boarded the fighting ship. Although this ship was quite sturdy, otherwise it would not have been used to transport Adou, but after all, it was chosen in a hurry, and Fang Lin's mental power detection was no longer possible. Affected by the restrictions of the ship's planking, the bulkheads on the ship can also be easily destroyed!

Fang Lin remained calm behind the cover, but purple flames came out from his feet, instantly igniting the thick ship planks. Lao Hu punched the ship planks, and the thick cabin The board suddenly cracked and cracks appeared, and the flames immediately followed the cracks happily. The butcher sat down directly on it. There was a loud crash, flames and sawdust flew up, and a huge hole suddenly collapsed.

The little leader of the leather-armored archers next to him was firing a barrage of arrows, and he had already killed several boatmen in the lower cabin. Lao Hu took the lead and jumped straight down, fighting left and right along the way. It didn't take long before he was in front of Fang Lin. He was led into a utility room in the bottom cabin.

However, this kind of ship used for combat cannot travel back and forth like a merchant ship without carrying empty cargo. Therefore, when the ship is traveling empty, it is necessary to place heavy things in the bilge, which is called ballast. And this warship can be selected to carry Liu Adou, of course it is also famous in the Soochow navy. Therefore, its ballast is also very special. From a distance, it looks like a dark mass that is inconspicuous. When you walk in, you will see thousands of snakes lying in the coils. Lao Hu was surprised and reached out to pick it up, and found that it was a rough ball with a rusty surface. The iron chains of Ruoying's arms were piled together! The small half of the auxiliary cabin was filled with piles!

This thick iron chain is a shame for the Jingzhou Army.

When Soochow and Jingzhou competed for hegemony on the Yangtze River, although Soochow seemed to be weak in military strength, Liu Biao made great use of these two wizards, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. Naturally, he suffered repeated defeats. Soochow's warships could easily go up the river and plunder everywhere, which made Liu Biao very anxious. With no choice, Liu Biao had no choice but to secretly consult Mr. Shui Jing. But Mr. Shui Jing was not willing to come up with any overkill plan. But he wanted to take shelter from Liu Biao's men and could not refuse, so he came up with a defensive method, which was called the Iron Lock Hengjiang Formation.

Liu Biao was overjoyed after hearing this. He ordered the blacksmiths in Jingzhou to build it overnight, and almost exhausted the fine iron in Xiangyang before building more than ten thick iron chains, which directly blocked the river. If merchant ships wanted to pass, they had to pay a lot of money. They are released once in the morning and once in the afternoon every day.

This subway locking Hengjiang formation presented by Mr. Shui Jing is indeed extraordinary. Immediately, the ships that Soochow wanted to attack and plunder were completely blocked. Moreover, the time to open the formation and release the troops every morning was chosen when the visibility was highest. If Soochow wanted to sneak attack from a distance, they would be noticed by spies ambushing downstream early in the morning, and they would emit smoke as an early warning. For a while, Soochow was helpless.

However, no matter how strong the defense is, it is often broken from the inside------the two "famous generals" Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have occupied the natural danger of the Yangtze River. What they are thinking about is not how to make the defense more stable, but how to use the monopoly on the Yangtze River waterway to obtain more property. Businessmen are big on profits, and they often compete for time. The Iron Lock Hengjiang Formation is only open twice a day. It certainly couldn't meet the needs of businessmen, so they paid heavy bribes for convenience.

As long as the price is enough for Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, of course it will open the door to convenience. Soochow spotted this flaw and sent a heavy gift late one night. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun had no doubt that he was there, showing that they were even greedier than a humble payment. True color, immediately ordered the lock to be unlocked. As a result, the Wu army ambushing the merchant ship took the opportunity to rush forward and started a deadly battle with the Jingzhou army!

This fierce battle lasted for two days. All the troops in Jingzhou of the Eastern Wu Dynasty were exhausted. Although Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others were mediocre, there were still brave generals such as Wenpin and Huang Zu. In the end, it was Soochow who set up the brazier. After burning the iron chain with fierce fire for several hours, Zhou Tai, who had extraordinary arm strength, cut off the huge iron chain that troubled Soochow with an axe. Finally, the iron chain across the river was broken!

After that, it was even more difficult for Jingzhou to build this large array. The output of steel at that time was extremely low. Soochow was wary and sent spies to pay close attention to the pig iron consumption around Xiangyang City. Once the Jingzhou Army started construction, they destroyed it and finally could not build it again.

The iron chains of the once-prominent Iron Chain Hengjiang Formation were captured as trophies by the people of Soochow, and most of them were resmelted into weapons, but the main chain was rewarded as the glory of Zhou Tai's navy. He saved it as ballast!

Fang Lin sneered and pressed his palm on the thick subway chain. Purple flames flew in the palm of his hand. The chain turned from black to red, and then from red to white. Lao Hu held both ends of the chain and shouted loudly, then pulled the chain away. Tear him apart! Although the surrounding Wu and Shu armies were in a melee, they were all stunned when they saw it! The eyes looking at Lao Hu were full of awe.

Zhou Tai had to use a big ax to cut off the iron chain, but Hu Huahao tore it off with his bare hands. It seemed that the latter had the upper hand, but in fact, Lao Hu took advantage of Fang Lin's Ziyan. That day, Zhou Tainai used the fire from the brazier to burn the iron chain. The temperature blown by the river breeze was definitely not as good as the purple flame of melting gold and corroding iron in Fang Lin's palm. Therefore, when Lao Hu broke the iron chain, it didn't actually take too much time. The strength of the earth.

Lin Yinxiu struck the bulkhead next to him with an axe. As sawdust flew, a hole the size of a window appeared on the thick floor of the ship. He could clearly see the approaching warship next to him. The butcher had already picked up the torn iron chain and threw it straight at the base of the mainmast of the adjacent warship. It wrapped around him in a circle and then flew back. The ingenious use of his strength was truly breathtaking. This fat boy was an expert at moving iron chains. He could even pull people in while they were leaping and running. Even at this moment, The iron chain is quite difficult to get, but Fang Lin doesn't want him to seduce people. Fang Lin's request couldn't be simpler.

Lao Hu held the broken end of the thick iron chain that flew back in one hand, and took the end from the butcher's hand. The two of them used their strength to tie the two warships together tightly, and then used the iron chain to tie the two warships together. There's a dead knot on the mainmast! Fang Lin then used flames to dissolve the iron chains and stick them together. Then he poured river water on them and they instantly cooled down! You can just let it go!

All this seems very complicated, but it only takes tens of seconds to implement. When Fang Lin tied several Mengchong battleships next to him using the same method, it was equivalent to forming Cao Jun's force during the Battle of Chibi. Ship array! The rocking arc of the ship was greatly reduced immediately. The Shu army immediately cheered with thunderous cheers and their morale was high. They immediately took advantage of the situation to counterattack. Although they were at a numerical disadvantage, there was a faint tendency to counterattack!

At this time, both the Wu army and the Shu army realized that the key to this battle lies in this bottom cabin! For Wu Jun, as long as the main mast of the ship is cut off and the iron chain has no place to bear force, the chain of warships can be broken! For the Shu army, the top priority is naturally to protect the few strange people in the cabin and let them form a larger boat formation to make their feet more stable!

Of course, Zhao Yun also understood this. After stabbing Gan Ning with his spear and injuring Gan Ning who wanted to lure him away, he jumped down from the cabin and handed over to Fang Lin and others to thank him. Fang Lin directly brought up Huang Zhong's cover at this time, saying that when he was in Shanyang County a few days ago, he fought with Huang Gong and killed Li Dian. He saw "Dragon Qi moving in Jiangdong" the day before yesterday and knew that the prince of the country was in trouble. , so I came here to help.

At this time, Liu Bei was still the emperor's uncle and had not yet proclaimed himself emperor, but Fang Lin was acting unscrupulously, calling him "dragon spirit" and "prince". Zhao Yun frowned on the surface, but was happy in his heart. The Shu army next to him was convinced, cheering thunderously and boosting their morale. In fact, Fang Lin is not talking nonsense. This guy Liu Adou did ascend the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, but he is still a little far away from the real dragon emperor, but at least he has never been a real dragon, and he can be regarded as a dinosaur of the same family as Bobby.

With Zhao Yun guarding here and the ship formation already in place, Gan, Ning and Zhou Tai took turns to attack, but in the end they could not do anything to Zhao Zilong of Changshan. Seeing that the battle situation had returned to a stalemate, Fang Lin took advantage of the retreat of the Wu army to reorganize the offensive. He told Zhao Yun that he should take advantage of the time when Soochow's offensive attention was focused here to rescue Liu Adou. This clearly meant that Zhao Yun was asked to stay here as a bait to attract firepower.

Zhao Yun also took it seriously and readily agreed immediately, but Fang Lin was already prepared and took the opportunity to inquire about the strength of Sun Ji Sun Shangxiang who was protecting Liu Adou, and also told Zhao Yun frankly about the strength of himself and others. Fang Lin had roughly calculated it at this time and knew that he only had three people in his party. After obtaining the Human Escape Book, he increased the difficulty of the world to 10 people in disguise. Therefore, the nightmare space was probably in order to maintain the balance of difficulty. Come and help them achieve some compensation in disguised form.

Sure enough, after a conversation, Zhao Yun immediately frowned and said solemnly:

"With your current strength, if you want to take the young master back from Mrs. Sun Jisun, I'm afraid it's beyond your power."

Fang Lin was waiting for these words. He immediately hit the snake and put it on the stick, but said lightly:

"The crown prince of the country is related to the fate and suffering of the people in the world! Now that I and a few others are here, we only want to save people, and we have never thought about going back alive."
