Chapter 18: Yunmeng "Cutting the Snake"


The Chu army's heavy infantry with tigers, swords, shields and swords and warriors and warriors entered Jiangling City together.

But the two arms fight in completely different ways.

The former are composed of groups of twenty-five people each, advancing in small independent formations in the streets or on the corridors of the city.

When encountering special circumstances, they will disperse and then regroup after handling the situation.

The warriors and warriors fought as scattered troops, but they also cooperated with each other.

The warrior warriors will even use the small phalanx of Huben heavy infantry as cover.

Just like the relationship between infantry and tanks in the era of hot weapons.

On a main street, the soldiers of the Han army gathered under the organization of a certain military prince and tried to launch a counterattack against the Chu army.

However, a heavy infantry phalanx immediately rushed towards them.

Behind them, the dagger behind the big shield was like Like a poisonous snake, it keeps stabbing.

The soldiers of the Han army were stabbed to the ground one after another.

Some Han soldiers holding halberds used their halberds to hold the opponent's shield to prevent them from advancing.

However, a wave of javelins was quickly thrown from behind the opponent's shield wall.

Most of these halberd-wielding soldiers were pierced through the body and head, and blood spattered on the spot.

The three warriors following the phalanx also shot powerful arrows with their crossbows from time to time.

Soon the Han soldiers who had just assembled were dispersed.

The Huben heavy infantry phalanx continued to advance on the street.

The Han soldiers hiding in the buildings on both sides fired cold arrows at them.

The arrows made a clanging sound when they hit the armor and helmets.

Some of the arrows penetrated the armor.

It was stuck on the armor and penetrated three-thirds of the flesh.

The Chu soldiers in pain bared their teeth, cracked their mouths, and their faces were covered with blood.

Without waiting for the command from the corps commander, the sergeants in the middle covered their heads with shields one after another, protecting the sky above the entire phalanx.

The soldiers on both sides turned around so that their shields were facing the sides.

At this time, the phalanx could continue to move forward.

The soldiers and warriors following the heavy infantry rushed into these buildings with swords and shields.

Several screams were soon heard, and the heads of the Han army's crossbowmen in the hiding room had been removed.

The resistance in Jiangling City was quickly broken down, and two thousand Han soldiers surrendered or surrendered.

The Han army's flag at the top of the city was thrown down, and the Chu army's flag flew again at the top of Jiangling City.

Then the Chu army effortlessly invaded the naval camp in the south of the city, and soon afterwards successfully "received" ten scorpions that had just returned to the dock after patrolling.

Ding, the temporary mission "Recapture Jiangling City" has been completed.

Congratulations to the lord for obtaining 3000 mission reward points.

The system prompts are transmitted to Xiang Yu's ears again.

Xiang Yu just learned from the Han prisoners that Zhou Yin was coming from Xiangyang with an army of 50,000, but he only had 4,000 soldiers.

Including the losses in the battle of Jiangling, 4,000 was not enough.

But Xiang Yu was Xiang Yu, and he didn't worry too much about it.

He had done it before and after the soul penetrated, hitting five with one hit and ten with one hit.

At this time, Zhou Yin was urging the army to rush towards Jiangling City.

There is a convenient Qinchi Road connecting Xiangyang to Jiangling, but the heavy rains for days have made the road muddy.

What's even worse is that the water level in Yunmengze has skyrocketed.

The northern part of Yunmeng Ze was originally not connected, but now the large and small lakes and swamps dotted here are connected together.

A large section of the road is submerged in water, and the depth is unknown.

Zhou Yin had no choice but to walk around the water as much as possible, walking on the muddy roads between lake branches and ditches.

The forwards of the Zhou Yin tribe who were supposed to arrive at Jiangling two days ago have just arrived at Yunmengze.

The 50,000-strong army meandered ten miles back and forth.

Zhou Yin looked at the vast ocean in front of him in frustration.

The Qinchi Road passing through Yunmengze was originally formed by using a series of trestles and dykes to connect the isthmus and cross the lake branches.

Now, the original winding road between the branches of Yunmengze Lake is submerged under the water, and many trestles on the lake branches only have railings exposed above the water.

If you want to bypass the entire Yunmengze and travel from the west to Jiangling, it will take an extra six or seven days, which will definitely delay the military aircraft.

If the battle goes well, you will have no success.

If you suffer a setback, you will definitely bear full responsibility.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yin became extremely anxious and gritted his teeth and said, "Send an order to my general to dispatch some soldiers with good water properties to explore the road ahead and set up signs.

The large group of people will follow closely behind and move slowly."

In this way, dozens of soldiers groped for the road ahead, planting bamboo poles with red cloth strips on the roadside to give instructions to the rear troops.

The ten-mile-long team followed closely behind, wading through the water like a long The snake swam into the Yunmengze area.

During the heavy rain, the Han army on a wooden trestle discovered that three strange-shaped large ships suddenly appeared on the water-filled lake.

The long oars on both sides of them were flying, and the white waves were rolling, rushing towards them like arrows from the string.

It was the centipede ship of the Chu army.

The stunned Han army on the bridge finally realized what the other party was going to do.

"Quickly, get out of the way, the boat is going to hit the bridge, hurry up."

With loud screams and shouts, people pushed each other and rushed towards both ends of the trestle.

The people in the front and back of the team were unaware of this situation, and they suddenly crowded together, causing a situation where people were pressed against each other and unable to move due to the crowd.

"Rumble" was heard three times in a row.

In an instant, three beams of the trestle bridge were submerged underwater and were cut off by huge metal angles.

The entire trestle suddenly collapsed, and a large number of Han soldiers slipped into the water.

A group of Han soldiers at the impact point flew into the air and then fell into the water.

The three Centipede ships quickly retreated, and then crossed the hull to remain parallel to the trestle embankment.

The ship-borne soldiers boarded the uppermost combat deck, or threw extremely lethal javelins at the Han troops on the shore, or fired arrows with powerful crossbows.

A Han soldier used a shield to block a flying javelin, but the javelin penetrated the shield and nailed the shield deeply into his arm.

He dropped the iron sword in his right hand in pain, pinched his left hand with his right hand, and kept wailing.

Then an arrow shot into his head, ending his wailing.

A large number of Han soldiers were shot through their bodies and heads with javelins or arrows.

Bright red blood splashed everywhere in the rain.

The soldiers of the Han army retreated one after another to avoid attacks from enemy ships.

Many of them accidentally slipped into the marsh behind them.

When the soldiers on the Centipede ship ran out of javelins, they jumped into the second deck and controlled the bed crossbows to shoot at the crowded places.

Whenever this extremely powerful crossbow was fired into the crowd of people in the crowded city of the Han army, it would trigger a series of groans and screams.

The soldiers were thrown together by the crossbows like meat skewers.

The Han army's crossbowmen also fired back, but the opponent used the side of the ship as a cover and could advance and retreat freely, so the probability of being injured by an arrow was extremely low.

Dozens of relatively slow Chu army boats had just arrived and quickly spread out along the waterfront to join the killing.

The crossbowmen on the ship kept firing arrows at the Han soldiers on the shore.

With the sound of arrows piercing the air, the Han soldiers were shot down into the water like targets.

The attack didn't just happen here.

There were nearly six key locations in the ten-mile-long team that were attacked.

The Chu army even put the twelve stern ships they had just captured into the battlefield.

The Han army was like a long snake being attacked by a group of crocodiles and had been cut into seven pieces.

The Han army collapsed quickly, but they had almost nowhere to escape and the killings continued.

In the chaos, many Han soldiers strayed into the lake and swamp in a panic.

The gale-force archers on the Chu army's sterns fired all their arrows.

Each one could kill an enemy, and they gave priority to the opponent's crossbowmen.

Those who held bows and crossbows in the Han army were basically killed soon after the attack. .

Zhou Yin tried his best to shout and command, but it had no effect.

No one still thought he existed.

The sound of pounding rain was mixed with wails and screams, and blood splattered.

The gale-force archers, the crossbowmen of the Chu army's reclamation army, and the sharp warriors have used up all their arrows.

The javelins on the Centipede ship were all thrown by the soldiers, and even the crossbows were fired.

At this time, the Han army had suffered heavy casualties of more than 30,000 people, including those who fell into the water and drowned, and those who died from crowding and stampede, and the remaining survivors had long been defeated.

Before that, the warriors who had used up their arrows and the three thousand heavy infantry began to rush up the embankment and narrow ground in small boats, killing the Han troops who were still resisting piece by piece, until they knelt down.

Begging for surrender in the water.

After each section is completed, the Chu soldiers who launched the attack in this section will reboard the ship to attack the next section:
