Chapter 742

North Bank of Jinshui River

Fang Xie looked at the team that gradually became clear across the street, and a different meaning flashed in his eyes. Maybe he didn't even know it. Whenever the war came, he would have such a twinkle in his eyes, and the excitement in his heart became more and more clear. What he didn't know was that he was used to living in war.

Seeing that a large group of people were mobilized here in Dingyuan City, the Nanyan garrison on the other side of Qingyuan City immediately poured out of the city. Seeing that they reacted so quickly, we can infer that the Nanyan people must have been nervous and careful in the past ten days. Fang's five-day agreement made the whole Qingyuan City tighten the string.

These days, the Nanyan garrison in Qingyuan city hasn't unloaded their armour, and they don't leave their weapons at hand when they sleep. In their opinion, the hateful black flag army harasses people every night. Although they know that every time is a bluff, they still have to get up and prepare to fight immediately.

In this way, tens of thousands of Nanyan troops in Qingyuan City are very tired these days.

Fu Zhengnan, the leader of Qingyuan City, wanted to dig Fang Xie's heart out and drink. He even wanted to ask the experts around him to assassinate Fang Xie, but he didn't dare, because once the experts around him were damaged in Dingyuan City, he would have to wait to die when he had to face the assassination.

So he knew that the black flag army was only harassing, but he couldn't help being on guard. So he clearly wanted to kill Fang Xie, but he could only bear it.

The city Lord of Nanyan is like a governor of the great Sui Dynasty. To be exact, he exercises the same rights as a governor and a general. But Nan Yan is too small, so there are not many troops in the hands of such a powerful man. One ping business road can support millions of troops, but it is the extreme for a large city in Nanyan to support 30000 troops.

Fu Zhengnan didn't want to give up Jinshui River and stick to Qingyuan City.

But he didn't want to give up the opportunity for the enemy to cross the river. From Dingyuan city to Qingyuan City, there was only Jinshui River. If he gave up Jinshui River and didn't defend it, the smooth river across the river would be too comfortable for the black flag army. Another advantage of guarding the Jinshui River is that Fu Zhengnan should destroy as many siege equipment of the black flag army as possible.

It's not difficult for people to cross the river, but if the siege equipment can't cross the river, what can the black flag army do even if they all go south? To capture such a huge city as Qingyuan City, we need to look at the huge siege equipment. This is the focus of Nanyan army's defense.

Fu Zhengming, Fu Zhengnan's brother, led 10000 troops out of Qingyuan City and basically brought all the instruments that can be used in the city. Nanyan people know that the black flag army is well-equipped. Fang Xie's rich history is simply a history of plunder. He keeps plundering and threatening, so his army is almost complete.

And the plunder has become so crazy that no people hate him.

Fu Zhengming knew how heavy the burden was on his shoulders. After losing his artillery, he had no chance to sneak attack and kill Fang Xie, so they had to rely on the Jinshui River and the tall walls of Qingyuan City to block Fang Xie.

And Fang Xie seems to be waiting for them.

One by one, the catapults were pushed up. Across the river, the archers and catapults of the two armies looked at them in rows, which made people palpitating. The narrowest place of Jinshui River is only more than ten meters. You can see the expression on each other's face across the river. At this distance, crossbow and bow and arrow can wield the greatest power.

Even in the widest part of the river, the catapult can send the Heavy Crossbow to the other side of the river.

Therefore, from the beginning, both sides knew that once the war started, there would be no temptation, but a fight from fist to meat.

"General!"

Chen Dingnan came up quickly and said, "we've lined up, just waiting for the order of the general!"

"Well"

Fang Xie nodded and turned to the high platform built early in the morning. On the high platform, there was a huge war drum. The war drum depicts a red billowing dragon, showing ferocity in the clouds.

"When I led the troops to the south, I said that what happened between the Sui people is also their own family business, and no one can interfere. If the Nanyan people dare to enter the Pingshang Road, plunder the people and kill the innocent, they should know that sooner or later this is more than debt! Today, you are all the creditors of the Nanyan people. Use the knife in your hand and your killing intention to let Nanyan return all the debts!"

"Not only take back our, but also double their!"

Fang Xie's propaganda to boost morale seemed a little unorthodox, as if there was no solemn atmosphere. The soldiers listened attentively to him, and some were amused.

"War!"

Fang Xie shouted, "there has always been only one goal, that is to defeat the enemy! Then grab everything from the enemy, so do you see those nanyans on the other side of the river? The knives, shields, hard bows and feather arrows in their hands! Their leather armor and their crossbow are all ours!"

"It's all ours!"

Someone shouted and soon spread to the whole army.

"Go!"

Fang Xie pointed to the Bank of Henan and said, "defeat them and turn them into poor people!"

"Ow, Ow!"

I don't know who imitated the cry of the wolf and roared a few times, which immediately caused a wolf howl.

"Nanyan people! Wait for us to go and strip off your clothes!"

Such a cry is full of scoundrels, but it is also full of ferocity. The soldiers of Nanyan army on the Bank of Henan Province looked at each other and suddenly found that they might not face an invincible army, but a group of invincible beasts.

……

……

"Catapult!"

The general of the black flag army raised the flag high, and then waved it fiercely: "put it down!"

More than 100 crossbow carts brought from Yongzhou roared in a line on the north bank. More than 100 heavy crossbows roared towards the South Bank of the river like flying dragons. The target of the first round of attack was not the enemy soldiers, but the enemy's defense equipment! Seventy percent of the Nanyan army's crossbow was destroyed by a round of pouring. In front of the powerful black flag army, their resistance seemed so weak.

It's like a girl pushed to, even if she struggles, she can't stop the violence of a big man.

Yongzhou was built into a huge militarized fortress by Luo Yao, and the number of crossbows is frightening. From the beginning, the river crossing war is a competition of dual defense long-range weapons. When the quality is almost the same, the victory or defeat is naturally determined by the quantity. Nanyan's army is also well equipped. After all, the army in the hands of the city leaders is their private soldiers in a fundamental sense. In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of his army, the city leaders are also generous.

However, the limitation is that their financial and material resources are not enough to support too large an army.

The heavy crossbows fired by both sides flew straight across the river, tearing the slightly moist air and smashing into each other's position. The twisting sound of the crossbow cable and the wailing sound of the soldiers were connected. In the face of this bloody scene, the soldiers of the black flag army showed an impatient desire, while almost all the people of Nanyan turned white.

At the beginning, the army of Nanyan's northern expedition into Pingshang road was shameful. It had nothing to do with the private soldiers in the hands of Fu Zhengnan and his city masters. Even if the city masters couldn't put together some troops later, most of them were recruited. The Nanyan army has not experienced the real fighting for many years.

The black flag army was killed with blood all the way.

What kind of army can be called elite?

The first point is whether you can put away your fear.

After about four rounds of volley, most of the crossbows of the Nanyan army were destroyed, and even the archers' arrow arrays were smashed. Although the black flag army also lost some, it was much lighter. In the face of weaker opponents, the black flag army has never had mercy.

When the Nanyan army's Crossbow went off, the black flag army's Crossbow poured down and the Heavy Crossbow became more unscrupulous!

More than a hundred crossbows continued to threaten, forcing the Nanyan army to retreat again and again to the South Bank of the Kaihe river. The range of the crossbow was more than 500 steps. It seemed that the Nanyan army, which had lost its heavy weapons, could not find any other way except to retreat. But Fu Zhengming knew that once he retreated, the black flag army would immediately set up a floating bridge to cross the river. After a group of troops stabilized the river bank, the siege equipment began to be transported.

At that time, leading the troops out of the city will lose any meaning.

"Carry it!"

Fu Zhengnan hid behind a huge shield and shouted: "shield hand, carry it! Stabilize the formation! Wait for my command, the enemy will start to build a floating bridge, and the archers will release their arrows immediately!"

His cry seemed so small on the South Bank of the river.

"It's our turn!"

General Qin yuan of the Bu army was promoted after Fang Xie recovered the Pingshang road. He was once another general of the border army in southern Xinjiang. He once had 8900 elite border troops under his command. Now Fang Xie has given him 15000 people. The feeling of being reused and trusted makes Qin yuan burn a fire in his heart. One must show his own fire.

He can't be underestimated. He knows that if he wants to go further, he must make achievements.

Qin yuan didn't wear armor. At this time, he took off his coat and showed his strong tendon flesh with his bare arm. He pointed to the south bank with a horizontal knife in his hand: "kill me, you are my brother! If you see me back, cut me behind my back! If I see you back, I will also cut you back! If I can't kill you, I'll take you to commit suicide and apologize!"

"Kill!"

The fierce border soldiers rushed into the river with those former county soldiers shouting. The first group of people rushed down were tied with ropes to prevent being washed away by the river. They rushed forward with the built floating bridge. At this time, the archers of Nanyan army began to fight back in the rain of arrows.

One soldier after another fell into the river and was covered with water. The blood soon dyed a large area of water red.

"Archer!"

Chen Dingnan shouted loudly, "shoot an arrow! Overturn the arrow array of Nanyan people to me! Brothers are crossing the river. If you shoot one more arrow, they will get one less arrow!"

The arrows poured down the other side like a rainstorm, so dense that they collided in the air.

The crowd with bare arms and knives rushed into the river one by one, and the pontoon began to move to the south bank.

"You can't let them come!"

Fu Zhengming roared hoarsely, but the words behind him were broken by an earth shaking drum.

"Dong!"

"Dong!"

"Dong!"

The war drum sounded one after another. On the high platform, the young man in black swung the drumstick, each time so heavy.

"Raise the prestige of our troops! It's vast in all directions!"

"Black flag army!"

Qin yuan first stepped on the pontoon and rushed to the South Bank of the river: "kill!"

"Kill!"

The soldiers of the black flag army quickly rushed across the river bank on the floating bridge. At first, eight out of ten people died in the crowd of the Nanyan army, but soon their tongpao took over their position and gradually expanded the controlled area. Is the path of blood cut one by one comparable to any rugged one?

The battlefield has always been... The vicious side bullies the weak.
