Chapter seven hundred and twenty fourth fire attack

The Yellow River is filled with waves.

Pei Yong stood on the floating bridge with his feet trembling a little. His hometown is Wenxiren from Hedong, and he comes from the Pei family in Hedong. If you trace the genealogy, you can also be close to relatives with Pei Ji, the prime minister of the current dynasty, and Pei Ju, the Minister of the Honglu Temple of Zhao State.

However, when he arrived at Bae Yong's grandfather, he served as an official in Hanoi and had less time to move around with the clan and became distant.

This time, the Tang army mobilized a large-scale mobilization in Hedong, and sent three or five to the people to select soldiers from the people. As a strong clan, who has always had children as the people, was among the selection. Therefore, Pei Yong, who was only 16 years old this year, volunteered to let two brothers with family take care of their wives and children at home, respect their parents, and join the army with two slaves.

When the Zhechong Captain of the Mansion Army saw Pei Yong, he liked his filial piety. With his father's official system, he appointed him as the commander.

Now Pei Yong is wearing military uniforms and holding a bow and arrow, standing on the floating bridge. He is surrounded by this group of Tang soldiers on both sides. They raise their bows and face the tall Zhao army fleet downstream with nervous expressions.

"This is really unwise!" Pei Yong whispered.

The servant on the side heard this and asked, "Why did the young master say that?"

Pei Yong pointed at the riverside near the sandbank, and said on several rivers: "If we can resist the Zhao army, it would be enough to rely on these floating cities. If the Zhao army warships even broke through the floating city and approached the floating bridge, what can we do if thousands of people gathered on the floating bridge? On the contrary, the floating bridge was narrow, and thousands of people could not advance and retreat on the bridge, which would cause chaos."

Pei Yong said this, and the slave nodded.

At this time, the Zhao army warships were already sails that had been lowered, and they slowed down when approaching the pontoon bridge. Three Zhao army tower ships and five Zhao army ships approached the lower end of the pontoon bridge.

Several Tang army warships in front of him wanted to step forward to stop them. They were immediately beaten to pieces by the crossbows and throwing stones on the Zhao army's tower ship. They sank into the rapids of the Yellow River. Pei Yong saw the soldiers and immediately approached the Zhao army's warships without doing it, and then sank into the turbulent Yellow River.

"Prepare!"

Pei Yong yelled, and his soldiers on the floating bridge lit torches, and then shot at the approaching Zhao army warships. The Tang army was good at shooting, and their soldiers were all in their hands.

Thousands of arrows broke through the air and flew away. The sound of wind passing through the woods on the river surface, and the sound of soldiers screaming from time to time on the Zhao army warships.

"Good cum!"

Pei Yong had just finished speaking, but he saw that the Zhao army warship in front of him was slowly turning the hull on the river surface, paralleling the side of the ship with the pontoon bridge. The Zhao army's crossbow on the side of the ship was eye-catching.

The range of the crossbow cannon was more than 150 steps, but the Zhao army approached the warship to only fifty steps away from the pontoon bridge. What is this for?

But seeing the hull slowly rotating in the heart of the river, the Zhao soldiers on both sides of the crossbow cannons also moved up and down, left and right to right, and the Tang army pointed by the crossbow cannons were all pale and bloodless. They tried hard to hold the wooden shield in their hands, as if they were used as a life-saving straw.

clang!

The sound of a heavy blow from the Zhao army warship suddenly came from the sound of a wooden hammer. Driven by this huge force, even the huge Zhao army ship shook left and right on the river surface.

Pei Yong's legs became weak, and he ignored his face. The moment the crossbow was fired, he fell down on the floating bridge.

The crossbow on the bow of the ship shot arrows. It penetrated the floating bridge in one breath and exploded countless wood chips. Several of the Tang soldiers who were attached to the floating bridge could not hold back. Under the fierce waves, they fell into the river. More Tang soldiers also lay on the river bridge like Pei Yong, and they did not dare to stand up straight.

Dong!

Dong!

The crossbows on the Zhao army's tower ship came in a volley, and several throwing stones were thrown from the bow. They hit both sides of the pontoon bridge from far and near, splashing countless splashes. Fortunately, the hit rate of the Zhao army's stone throwing machine seemed to be not high. If one hit the pontoon bridge, the damage caused would definitely be greater than that of the pontoon bridge.

Pei Yong's military uniform was soaked. He knew that if this continued, even if there was a floating bridge with iron chains running up, it would not be broken, but the Tang soldiers on the floating bridge on them would be unable to save their lives.

"No, keep going like this." Pei Yong stood up and ran towards Zhongtan City, where there was a city protection and a floating city on the river.

As for the Tang Army Navy, when Pei Yong looked at the river boats that were sunk by the Zhao army one after another on the river surface, he had no illusion at all. In fact, it was not just Pei Yong, but the Tang soldiers on the pontoon bridge saw that all the artillery arrows on the Zhao army warships were smashing towards the pontoon bridge, they had already made preparations to give up the pontoon bridge and fled to the floating city in the river on the pontoon bridge.

But Pei Yong knew that these soldiers were not the worst. The most miserable thing was the Tang army who stayed on the south bank of the Yellow River and had no time to retreat to the floating bridge.

Don't leave us behind!

The soldiers of the Tang army had originally attacked the southern city of Heyang. They shouted desperately that they swam across the river and wanted to escape to the floating bridge. The wounded soldiers could not move and could only watch, while the other soldiers could move all rushed towards the floating bridge.

From the south bank, the Zhao army warships had sent small ships to approach the floating bridge. They were on the Yellow River to intercept the Tang soldiers who were about to escape back to the floating bridge. But seeing the Zhao army's boats rushing around, many Tang soldiers floating in the river were directly hit by the boats and knocked unconscious, and then sank to the bottom of the water.

The Zhao soldiers on the side of the ship took their spears and forked into the water. This scene seemed like a fisherman was catching fish with a spear.

The retreating road was completely cut off, and there were nearly a thousand Tang troops left on the south bank. Now that the floating bridge was blown up, they could only watch their soldiers return from the floating bridge. As the abandoned party, they stayed alone on the south bank.

On a building boat, You Ying stood high with the bow of the ship. He held a shield in one hand and a horizontal knife in the other, and stood tightly beside the general.

You Ying looked at the water of the Yellow River and remembered him and his father. It was here that he rescued a woman who had no knowledge of the human affairs from a small boat to his own ship. He still doesn't know who this woman is, but he knows that when he sees this woman, he will never fall in love with a second woman in his life.

My father saw his thoughts and told him that even if his Yu family had been fish for another five hundred years, he would not have thought that he could marry this girl. He would not even be qualified to be rejected by a marriage. After hearing this, You Ying understood that this girl was like a fairy in his heart. How could he have such blasphemous thoughts?

But You Ying said to his father, I won’t be fishing anymore. I will join the army in the future.

The father was very angry when he heard this and said that he was the only son of the You family, how could he let him join the army? You Ying insisted on refusing. He was unwilling to fish all day long on the Yellow River. He wanted to see the world. At least if there was a chance to see this girl again next time, he could tell her that her surname was You, and her single name was Ying. That's all.

So You Ying and many men whose dreams start with women, want to join the army.

In the last battle with the Tang army in the Yellow River, he made a contribution and was promoted to the leader of the Zhao army. Now he has been promoted to the deputy general of the ship general, serving all day long. The ship general is very capable on the water and is good at leading the army to fight. The last time he fought with the Tang army, he jumped onto the Tang army's warship and captured three Tang army warships.

However, although this boat general is very skilled, he is not good at boat handling. You Ying was born and raised on the Yellow River, and boat handling is common for him. Moreover, no one in the Zhao army knew the water conditions of the Yellow River better than him.

So the general promoted him to deputy general, responsible for everything on the ship except for the war. The general said that if he achieved military merit in this battle, he would reiterate his merits.

You Ying's face was firm. At present, the Yellow River under the southern city of Heyang was already red, and the bodies of countless Tang soldiers floated on the surface of the river. They went down quickly with the waves. The war has been preserved until now, but the Tang army's floating bridge has not been destroyed. As long as the Tang army's floating bridge is not burned, they can still cross the river continuously and attack the Nancheng.

You Ying stared at the floating city on the river sandbank. To break the Tang army, he had to occupy the sandbank. To occupy the sandbank, he had to break through these floating cities. The floating city on the river sandbank seemed a bit difficult to deal with.

However, the ship general was confident.

"We will break through the Tang army's floating bridge first and rush upstream!"

After hearing the command of the general, You Ying was busy now. Since she wanted to break through the Tang army's obstacles, she had to speed up. You Ying immediately ordered the soldiers on the side of the ship to cut off the cables hanging from the side of the ship to the flat baskets hanging on both sides of the ship. The flat basket full of ship-pressing stones smashed into the Yellow River from both sides of the ship, making several loud noises. After missing the flat basket, the speed of the battleship suddenly became a little faster.

You Ying personally steered behind the ship, raised half of the sail again, ate the wind and advanced, and immediately crossed several ships and rushed towards the Tang Army floating bridge.

The Tang army's floating bridge was already beaten to pieces under the volley of the Zhao army's warships and crossbows just now. The two large iron oxen on both sides of the fixed floating bridge were overturned by the Zhao army soldiers who came out of the shore, and even the iron chain was cut off by the Zhao army soldiers.

The battleship was approaching rapidly, and the front end hit the pontoon bridge effortlessly broke through and rushed upstream of the pontoon bridge.

Seeing this scene, the ship general couldn't help but screamed excitedly and praised You Ying: "Good brother, you've done a good job, don't stop for me Zhang Fan!"

You Ying was very happy to hear the praise from the generals and continued to drive upstream. More than a dozen Zhao army warships behind him followed suit and broke the pontoon bridge and walked upstream.

"Take out the good things in the cabin for me!"

The ship called out a command, and the sailors on the ship immediately entered the cabin and took out a bucket of stuff like a sealed oil barrel and placed it on the deck.

"Give me a gentle!" the ship leader said loudly.

"Brothers, all of you go to the firewood boat and ignite the fire on the boat!" The ship shouted.

"Why?" Everyone was puzzled.

"I heard from you, don't talk too much, let you watch the show later."

You Ying heard that the ship was going to ignite, and he was very reluctant to let it go, but he also knew that the fire attack on the river was to use the fire ship. The ship general told him that during the Battle of Red Cliff, the Sun and Liu coalition also used fire attacks to defeat the powerful Cao army.

So You Ying personally ignited the ship and retreated to the downstream. After no one in the warship took the helm, he swayed and headed downstream.

When the warship rushed to the floating city of Tang army on the water, a sudden violent impact followed by a loud sound that was shocking!

boom!
