Chapter 425 Crossing the River
The five lieutenants of the entire Jumping Camp attacked one Jiangling City, and two of them went to. There were more than one city in Nanchu. If this continued, it was hard to say how many people could survive.
"Future and honor are in danger, otherwise there will be no vacancy in the position of general." Wang Ba saw through and there must be many people who wanted to exchange other people's heads for military achievements and stared at his neck.
After the war, the most convenient promotion was because the person who died in the battle had his post vacant.
The next day, dawn was dawn, and the soldiers of the jumping camp got up and had breakfast. Then they packed the supplies they carried with them into a backpack, carried them on their shoulders, and lined up to board the ship.
Unlike yesterday, the number of soldiers on the ship was more than twice as many as the cabin was noisy and crowded, and the smell was extremely unpleasant. Wang Ba, Li Jilong and Dongfang Zi were on the same ship. The three of them occupied a piece of space in the corner of the deck, and finally had room to move their bodies.
Suddenly, a drizzle drizzled in the air, and the river was already heavily wet, so Li Jilong wrapped his cloak tighter.
"The weather is like a dog, I will suffer soon." Wang Ba wiped the rain on his face. This kind of weather was already sticky and uncomfortable. If you fight, you must sweat. The taste was unforgettable.
"Let's stop being too fierce at the beginning, keep it a little bit!" This is the first time today that Dongfang Zircon has complete armor and a little bit of heroic spirit in front of Li Jilong.
"What? The war is going to start?" Li Jilong sat upright when he heard this. He thought he was just a boat crossing the river.
"Of course, there are so many of us, so we will have no time to log in. The other party is prepared. The other party can't hide the other party's eyes and ears on the surface of the river. Taking advantage of the unstable foothold, we will definitely launch an attack." Dongfang Zi stood up and looked at the other side. The distance was not far away. The ship was looking for a suitable landing location.
"Tie this." Wang Ba took out two small round shields from his backpack, which were only the size of three or four palms.
The shield is made of hardwood and covered with cowhide. The outside is covered with iron. The top is raised in semicircles and arranged regularly to expose the force on the crossbow arrows.
On one side, Wang Ba tied it directly to his left forearm. Li Jilong followed suit and tied it tightly. He tried it, but it was a bit hindered, but he was still acceptable.
Wang Ba stood up and taught him how to use this small shield to block all his vital points, so as to effectively avoid the opponent's crossbow arrow damage.
Oriental Zirconium does not use a round shield, but a pair of arm guards. The tail is slightly expanded outward and the arms are raised at the same time, which can also achieve the effect of a shield.
Not only them, but also the soldiers of the jumping battalion on the deck, began to put protective gear on their bodies, some were sent from the army, some were seized from the battlefield, and some were paid for their own purchases.
The two small round shields that Wang Ba took out were seized by him. They were well-made and were reluctant to sell them, so they stayed by his side. He thought that he would take them back to his hometown in the future as a souvenir, but now in order to protect Li Jilong, he took them out and gave them to him.
"I'm going to dock soon." Dongfangzi looked at the other side. The terrain was relatively flat and convenient for the army to land. Even if there were Tibetan soldiers behind, this distance was enough for them to form a defense on the shore.
Sure enough, the ship turned the sails and quickly approached forward.
The soldiers on the ship stood up one after another, grabbed the weapons in their hands, and prepared to land.
Offshore
When the edge was only two or three feet long, I suddenly staggered and the boat I was riding on was stranded.
Long ladders that had been on standby were mounted from the ship, and then soldiers turned over the ladders and climbed downwards.
At this time, the water was deep and it was drizzling again. Every time I took a step, I had to use all my strength. The soldiers on the light boat would be much happier, without any trouble of stranding, and directly docked. If I had good luck, I would even have my boots.
"Quick! Quick! Array defense!"
"The shield soldiers are in front, the spear soldiers are in the back, and the crossbowmen are in the strings to prepare!" The messenger held the flag and ran all the way. The war horses were transported for the last time, and now they can only run with their legs.
As more and more soldiers landed, the defense circle continued to expand outward. It seemed that the luck was good, and at least I could gain a foothold first.
Wang Ba pulled Li Jilong and walked step by step from the river to the shore. His legs were covered with mud and his boots were filled with mud and sand. Every time he stepped on his legs, it was extremely difficult.
When Li Jilong heard the urging of the messenger, he hurriedly wanted to carry the spear, but was pulled by Wang Ba.
"Cleaning it first, don't worry." Wang Ba shook his head, sat down directly, and poured the mud and sand in his boots out.
Li Jilong also followed suit. The other soldiers of the jumping camp were similar, so they carefully cleaned their boots. Wang Ba simply took the boots to the riverside to rinse them. Although they were as wet as they were, without mud and sand, they would be much more comfortable after all.
Oriental Zirconium needs to be much more meticulous. After washing it, it takes out the dry socks and puts it on. What’s even more excessive is that it actually takes out a piece of white cloth from its arms, wraps it several layers outside the socks, and finally puts on the boots.
Li Jilong wrung out some of his socks and put them on them directly. Although it was uncomfortable, it was much better than before.
"Hurry, prepare for war! Prepare for war!" The messenger ran faster, and the flag kept waving, and it was obvious that the enemy had appeared.
Two miles away, a Nanchu army with more than 10,000 people was marching rapidly here, obviously trying to launch a surprise attack while the Song army was not yet firmly established.
"Don't rush to fight out in a while!" Wang Ba looked serious, and the other party was prepared and faced the first wave. The chance of surviving was less than 10%.
Only when the opponent's spirit has lost and a counterattack is the best time to reap the military achievements.
All the five nodded, of course, including Li Jilong, the Dongfangzi not far away. The same is true. They jumped into the camp and were not good at defending them. Their mission was the first priority to kill the enemy.
When the Southern Chu army appeared in the sight of the Song army, nearly half of the Song army failed to get ashore. Now there are less than 10,000 soldiers on the shore, and the number of people is at a disadvantage.
In contrast, the Southern Chu army had a strong army, divided into three routes, and the middle routes were all elite armored, with two left and right armies, mostly strong attacks and crossbows.
There were too many people, and Li Jilong could not see anything, but from the sound of fighting in front, he could tell that the battle was extremely fierce. The Song army lacked supplies, and Nan Chu was similar. They marched urgently and could only carry light weapons. The heaviest one was nearly a hundred crossbows on the left and right roads, which could not control the current situation at all.
"Jump camp and attack!" When the messenger appeared in front of Wang Ba with his order flag, Li Jilong knew that he could not hide.
Murong Yanzhao stood on the flagship and saw everything on the battlefield. Da Song paid a considerable price, but
Finally, the impact of the Southern Chu army was curbed, avoiding the risk of being cut.
"Brothers, let me kill!" Wang Ba shouted, holding up the gilded sword and rushed forward.
The originally crowded crowd avoided them, leaving a passage for them.
"Ah!" Wang Ba shouted at the Nan Chu soldiers who were in charge, and slashed down with a long sword, directly splitting the opponent's armor, but it was not deep into the flesh and did not take the opponent's life.
Li Jilong's spear suddenly flashed and penetrated straight into the other party's heart, instantly allowing the other party to report on the road to the underworld.
Wang Ba just now held back, otherwise Li Jilong would not have had the turn of replacing the gun. Both of them had a tacit understanding and no one mentioned this. As long as they cooperated perfectly, this military achievement was made by him, Li Jilong, and so many brothers saw it with their own eyes.
Li Jilong used a shield to block the crossbow arrows that were attacking at any time with his left hand, and his spear in his right hand kept looking for fighter jets.
A shot stabbed the enemy, and then the black spots attacked and immediately blocked it with a shield. The crossbow arrow was extremely powerful, which made Li Jilong's arm numb. After a closer look, it actually penetrated the shield and the arrow hit the armor. If it weren't for this round shield, this arrow could have broken his defense.
Wang Ba was even more troublesome. He had an unparalleled combat power and became the object of the opponent's crossbow arrows. Two crossbow arrows were inserted on his shield. There was also a crossbow arrow on his right shoulder, which had penetrated the armor and was penetrated into the flesh.
Continue to wave the big sword, Wang Ba fought and retreated, no longer showing off his personal courage. He was already injured and needed to retreat to safety and deal with his wounds. Compared to being alive, his military achievements are all over the world.
Li Jilong's steps were constantly at his feet. Although his combat power was much worse than that of Wang Ba, he was more flexible and could effectively avoid killing and injury with his pace.
"Bang~" Another crossbow arrow shot on the round shield. Li Jilong did not check the direction of the crossbow arrow and continued to move closer to Wang Ba. He was targeted by two masters.
The two of them cooperated without a break. Although Wang Ba did not take his single combat power seriously. However, under the combined force of the two swords, Wang Ba's right arm was injured, causing the speed to decrease, making it even more difficult to resist.
"Swish!" The long sword slashed across the armor on his waist, bringing up a bunch of blood. Although the flesh was not deep, the already injured Wang Ba made it worse.
There are covetous people around him cooperating to intercept those who intend to rescue him. Wang Ba is like a wounded tiger, and has become the other party's prey.
Li Jilong slid, moved away from the long sword that was coming out of the diagonal stabbing, and directly threw the shield in his left hand, forcing the opponent back.
Intent to hunt down the king and bastard, he continued to greet Wang Ba. Wang Ba blocked with a shield, and the gilded sword in his right hand slashed directly at the other person, but the other party took a step back and dodged.
This man was about to put his body on his back, but suddenly felt a pain in his waist. Then the other party suddenly twitched, taking away all his vitality. Looking back, he wanted to see who he was, but he saw that he was a slightly tender boy, and he died with his eyes closed.
Seeing this, Wang Ba raised his sword and swept across the other person. The other party turned around and fled. Wang Ba did not dare to fight and continued to retreat.
Li Jilong shot over a soldier in Nanchu who wanted to attack, protected Wang Ba, and slowly retreated.
"Boy, thank you!
