Chapter 438: Promoted to Colonel

Li Jilong stepped on the light boat quickly, and Wang Ba seemed to have found the rhythm. As he stepped on the light boat, the light boat headed straight towards the black shadow.

The black shadow came out of water to breathe again. Li Jilong just raised his spear and was about to throw it out, but was stopped by Wang Ba. Wang Ba took out an iron ball from his arms and smashed it directly at the black shadow.

In Li Jilong's surprised gaze, the iron ball hit the back of the black shadow's head, and then the black shadow slowly sank.

"For him, I can't get your gun." Wang Ba shook his head. He knew the origin of the spear in Li Jilong's hand. It was a pity that he sank to the bottom of the lake with his weapon to fight on the battlefield.

"Brother Wang, do you have this trick?" It was five feet away. It was very difficult to hit the back of the opponent's head with an iron ball.

"My family used to be a hunter, but I always couldn't shoot archery accurately. It's good to hit the head with a stone, especially a hare. I was chasing and hitting it with a stone. Over time, the feel became better and better." Wang Ba smiled. This man was pretty good with a skill.

Li Jilong nodded. As for why the black shadow didn't act when it was breathing for the first time, it was probably too far away. It would be about ten feet long, and it would take a bow and arrow.

"Let's go back!" Wang Ba looked at the lake. It was so deep that anyone who was willing to salvage the corpse in the middle of the night was basically the end of feeding the fish.

When the light boat returned, the speed was slower, and two soldiers were salvaged along the way and headed towards the fast ship.

In this battle, although the Jumping Battalion paid a considerable price, the results were also good. A total of four light boats, six fishing boats, and more than twenty enemies were killed. The most important thing was to protect the baggage on the tower ship.

The next morning, in Li Jilong's surprised gaze, a large number of supplies were unloaded on the dock near Yuezhou, and then they continued to follow and escort.

Zhouyou's death did not cause any trouble in the jumping camp. He was a person who was accustomed to life and death. No one's life is inalienable.

Before the sun set, Li Jilong received a new appointment to replace Zhou You and become the new lieutenant of the Jump Camp.

Before the siege began, he was promoted to the position of captain. Li Jilong was filled with a hint of anxiety. He was originally the head of the capital, and it was relatively safer to follow Wang Ba. Now he led a battalion of jumping soldiers alone, making contributions easier, but the risks were greater.

"Congratulations to Captain Li!" Wang Ba bowed, as he expected.

Last night, he had the opportunity to save Zhou You, but he deliberately gave up because of this. Zhou You's personality was extremely disliked, so he made room for Li Jilong to go up. Now he is the captain who leads a battalion and will definitely be able to climb higher after the war.

Also congratulating were Oriental Zircon and Niu Feng. They were not jealous of Li Jilong's rapid promotion, but were only excited. If this continues, they would not be able to reach the sky in one step until the war ends.

Dozens of scattered stone machines were installed on positions far away from the city wall, and more soldiers were arranged to go to the distant hills to quarre. Murong Yanzhao made up his mind to make a gap in the city wall of Yuezhou.

"General, I'm here to envoy the imperial edict." Yu Wen Su walked behind Murong Yanzhao with the document in hand and said.

"You just read it." Murong Yanzhao had enough of Zhao Kuangyin's nagging, and really didn't want to read it word by word.

It is enough for Yuwen Su to read it and then give him a brief explanation.

"General, this is in public..." Yu Wen Su looked around and took a look, and just opened it apart. Is it a bit too disrespectful to the one above? If someone stabbed them, they would definitely be of no benefit.

"Then sir, go back to the camp first, I'll come later." Murong Yanzhao nodded, and he had to do his best to do his best and not leave any handle.

I inspected the trench several times and told me to check the catapult several times again and again, so that there would be no omissions.

"Sir, have you finished reading?" Murong Yanzhao returned to the camp after not having enough time and saw the document quietly placed on his desk.

"I've finished reading!" Yu Wen Su nodded with a serious look on his face.

"Sir, you are very fast." Murong Yanzhao was a little surprised. It usually takes half an hour to see, and it only takes a quarter of an hour.

"That's not. Today, the imperial edict is only two or three pages, so it will be clear in a moment." Yuwen Su kept his silence as usual, waiting for Murong Yanzhao to ask questions.

As a result, it made a mistake. In Yuwen Su's surprised gaze, Murong Yanzhao directly picked up the imperial edict on the desk and looked it out.

It’s because it’s too long on weekdays and mostly nonsense. Murong Yanzhao is too lazy to read it line by line. Since there are only two or three pages, it’s nothing to read by himself, and it’s not that he can’t read it.

"I don't know what's up!" After reading it, Murong Yanzhao threw the imperial edict on the desk, picked up the teacup and drank it.

"General, let this imperial edict be made clear. Take Yuezhou as soon as possible and the news will be passed back." Yuwen Su looked at Murong Yanzhao's attitude, and seemed to have no intention of following the imperial edict.

"The general is outside, and the king's orders are unbearable. On the battlefield, there are ever-changing changes, how can we play tricks?" Murong Yanzhao was very annoyed. If he really did what Zhao Kuangyin wanted, how many people would be left after the battle was over?

"The south is so riotous, and the loyal and brave army is really powerful. When the war begins, a great victory comes. I believe that your Majesty is also anxious." Yuwen Su could understand Zhao Kuangyin's mood this time. At present, the war is everywhere, but the Southern Tang Dynasty has taken the lead. Not to mention the belonging of luck, just say that all the people in the world will probably despise the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty was the lord of the Central Plains, the land of Longteng, and was known as the strongest imperial guards. It was armed with millions of armor, but even the only southern Chu was still a city.

"Then what can I do? Yang Shifan didn't know who could give me some advice, but he actually did such shameless things. Not to mention the military town, even the county town was abandoned directly, and the city gates were demolished, and I occupied an empty city and could I report a great victory? Look at the current Yuezhou City, can it be defeated in three or two days?" Murong Yanzhao left rampantly. It was not that he didn't want to fight, but the other party was too cruel, and they all shrank together and fought with him.

"Your Majesty is to stand at a higher perspective. General, you should understand the meaning." Yuwen Su nodded. What Murong Yanzhao said was reasonable, but Zhao Kuangyin stood at the perspective of fighting for dominance of the world. If the Song Dynasty reduced its prestige, the losses could not be recovered by tens of thousands of troops.

"I can't control so much. Once I use my life to fill it, what should I do if I take Yuezhou? As the main general along the way, I want victory and can't control so much. No matter what, no war will be allowed until all the materials are in place." Murong Yanzhao waved his hand. If he started a rashly in order to cater to the superiors, if something goes wrong, he has to use him to push the tank. Even if there is a problem, he will be used to push the tank.

He ignored the holy will and as long as he won this battle, he could return in triumph and return to the field.

Anyway, he doesn't plan to continue fighting on the battlefield anymore, and he will be strong if he has no desires.

"Then, I will urge you again." Yuwen Su nodded. Although Murong Yanzhao's actions may be hated by the officials, it is the safest way.

Ignoring Zhao Kuangyin's repeated urging, outside Yuezhou City, Murong Yanzhao set up more than 200 catapults and countless powerful crossbows. This is the invincible and true foundation of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.

Since the Great Zhou Dynasty, a large amount of strategic materials have been reserved, but they have gone north to fight against the Khitan cavalry. These materials are not very useful, after all, they are all speed-flowing.

But at present, these materials can play their greatest role in infantry battles or siege battles.

Yang Shifan's face was as deep as water. Fortunately, he believed Gao Jichong's words and implemented strategic contraction, strengthened the walls and cleared the fields. Otherwise, under such an attack, he would only give the other party a chance to defeat each other.

"The order was sent to Fengzhou and Langzhou, leaving a small number of weak brigades to defend the city, and all the rest were transferred to Tanzhou to guard the city." Yang Shifan had already seen the current situation. This Yuezhou City could not be defended, and retreating to Tanzhou was inevitable.

As for Langzhou and Fengzhou, he couldn't control it. He gathered all his troops and fought with the opponent in Tanzhou. At present, in Yuezhou, all he could do was to kill and injure the enemy as much as possible.

Unfortunately, Murong Yanzhao was unwilling to forcibly attack the city. In this way, although it delayed the opponent's attack, it was difficult to severely damage the enemy, with half the pros and cons.

"Bang~bang~" Teams of heavy armored infantry, holding large shields, came towards the Yuezhou city gate.

"It's going to start, send orders to prepare for the war!" Yang Shifan knew that the war was about to start when he saw the other party's attitude.

The heavily armored infantry carrying a large shield stopped at a hundred and fifty steps from the head of the city. A row of bed crossbows followed, and another row of shields behind them, arranged in such an interlaced manner.

Mr. Yang was a little dizzy. After a rough calculation, he found that he had less than 500 flights. Starting from 150 steps, he was arranged in five rows in ten steps.

The huge team of catapults also began to move forward slowly.

"Blast it for me!" Yang Shifan saw the opponent's catapult and began to move forward, and knew that the opportunity had come. Before the opponent set off an offensive, he could attack without restraint.

Not as good as the exaggerated 200 catapults on the opposite Song Dynasty, Yang Shifu arranged more than fifty catapults under the city wall. Because of the city wall blocking, after repeated arrangements and calculations, the catapults were arranged in the position that was least likely to be hit.

More than fifty stone bombs whistled away.

Yang Shifan continued to order that the crossbow on the top of the city also began to attack. He was here not to defend the city, but to shoot and kill the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.

Since the opponent has entered the range, then do it and kill one.

The crossbow arrow shot from the bed crossbow had huge kinetic energy and hit the Song army's large shield. The powerful crossbow arrow directly pierced the big shield. The remaining momentum did not diminish and pierced into the heavy armored infantry behind the shield before stopping to advance.

The shield moved and filled the gaps in the shield array. As for the injured soldiers, someone soon came to take them. As for how to deal with them, they basically couldn't survive.
