Chapter 249: Issue Military Orders, Take the Lead First, Look at the Rockets, and Make New Achievements
That night, Fang Zui and his wife rested in Xu Lang's army, and the movement in Xiangyang City did not stop until almost dawn.
Before noon, Li Wenzhong and He Huairen's 20,000-strong army finally arrived. They had catapults, ladders, and logs.
"Haha, General Xu, now we can attack the city!"
Ma Rubao laughed happily and was about to challenge for a fight.
"General Ma, wait for General Li and General He to make some repairs, then we can work together and beat his motherfucker!"
Xu Lang smiled. At this time, it is necessary to be steady, even if it gives the enemy a chance to breathe.
"Yes, that's what General Xu said."
A horse like a leopard is not a man who knows how to fight, but he is eager to fight.
"General Xu, the King of England's army is moving down the river. According to the agreement, it will reach the waters of Xiangyang at the end of the day. Our officers and men will repair for an hour and then we can fight!"
He Huairen was also high-spirited. This journey had been smooth sailing. As a capable general, he wanted to show off his skills.
"What General He said is that General Xu and Wen Zhong are willing to be the vanguard!"
Not to be outdone, Li Wenzhong stepped forward to ask for a fight.
When Xu Lang saw it, he felt happy. With his military spirit available, he was not afraid of Xiangyang's strong city.
"Okay, listen to my order. At the end of the day, General Li will fight the first battle! Let me beat this Xiangyang into chaos!"
Xu Lang immediately gave the order.
"The last general takes command!"
Li Wenzhong is also happy. Taking the lead is a great thing!
Ma Rubao was anxious at the side, but he had no choice but to glare at Xu Lang, angrily without daring to say a word.
"Don't worry, General Ma. You lead three thousand elite cavalry and keep firing arrows at the top of the city! This is your strength!"
It turned out that Xu Lang had already made plans in his mind.
Ma Rubao's face showed joy and he quickly accepted the order.
"General He, you fight the second formation. When General Li attacks the city and sets up the ladder, quickly lead the men and horses to help. The so-called all-in-one effort, this is what we do!"
Xu Lang gave the order solemnly, his smile gone.
Once the golden drum is beaten, many brothers will inevitably die in the battle under Xiangyang City. After all, this is a tough battle, and Zhang Da on the opposite side is not an idiot.
"promise!"
He Huairen also took the order seriously.
At that moment, the three armies were making food and preparing to attack Xiangyang in time.
At the end of noon, Gui Yunzheng and Du Cong led a navy of 20,000 people, and they were already downstream from the upper reaches of the Han River, less than half a mile away from Wu Yingxiong's boat formation.
"Reduce the speed of the boat!"
Gui Yunzheng shouted softly.
Immediately, a sergeant sent this order to all ships.
Looking at the connected Xiangyang warships not far away, Gui Yunzheng immediately knew what he meant.
"Who is using troops? Can this plan stop me?"
When he asked this question, many people shook their heads. After all, his army mostly went out of Chang'an.
Only Du Cong thought for a while, then raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, it is said that the commander of the navy is a martial hero, and his ability in water warfare is not weak!"
"With the warships so connected, could they be unaware of Cao Cao's defeat at Chibi that day?"
Gui Yunzheng shook his head. This martial hero might just be afraid of the impact of his warships in order to strengthen his camp. But he didn't know that our army is good at shooting. At this moment, a rocket passed by. Didn't he tie his own hands and feet?
?
"Your Majesty is wise!"
When Du Cong heard this, he immediately knew Gui Yunzheng's plan.
Sure enough, Gui Yunzheng quickly ordered the archers of each ship to prepare rockets and launch an attack when they were a hundred steps away from the enemy ship.
In fact, this is only a matter of minutes.
By the time Wu Yingxiong saw the opponent approaching fiercely and raised his bow at the bow of the boat, he regretted it no longer.
Rockets roared through the sky one after another, especially when carried by the river wind, their momentum was very frightening.
Tuk tuk…
There was a loud sound of arrows hitting the warship, and for a while, the warship in Xiangyang became a dead target. The hero of the war ordered his soldiers to fire arrows to fight back. However, the wind was not in the right direction, and they were upstream. Before their arrows could pass, they
