Chapter 856

Yuan Shujun's water stronghold was built of wood, and the gate was also made of big wood. Zhou Tai and others did not bring any siege equipment, but dozens of soldiers rushed to the gate, yelled and pushed the gate inside.

As more and more soldiers joined, the gate of the village finally fell to the ground. Zhou Tai took the lead and rushed into the camp. He and Yuan Shu, who were coming to the gate to support him, were killed in a group. They just gathered together in a hurry. If they were the opponents of Zhou Tai's water army, they would be killed in a face-to-face way and fled everywhere.

When Zhou Tai led the soldiers into the camp, the crossbow soldiers outside only stopped shooting and entered the camp behind the soldiers. After entering the barracks, the soldiers were immediately divided into several units. One hundred water soldiers and two hundred crossbow soldiers stood at the gate to meet the arrival of the follow-up soldiers. And he led three hundred soldiers to the gate on the other side of the camp, because the gate on the other side was connected with the pontoon, so he had to go to the other end of the pontoon as soon as possible to control the pontoon.

The rest of the soldiers were divided into several groups, with the water soldiers as the front arrow, and the crossbow soldiers followed closely, killing the rest of the water army barracks. They had to control the water army barracks as quickly as possible, and then use the captured ships to transport the troops across the river.

When Zhou Tai's army was fighting with the garrison of Yuan Shu's army, Huang Zhong, who was on the North Bank of huaishui River, had arranged for the third group of 1000 people to board the ship. Seeing that the war on Hexin island had begun, his intention of crossing the river had been exposed, so he did not hide any trace. He gave a loud order: "come on, raise fire, the army quickly board the ship, support general Zhou's army!"

With Huang Zhong's order, several huge fires that had already been prepared were ignited by Anton's soldiers. The soaring fire quickly lit up the riverside and the surface of the river. With these lights, the soldiers boarded the ship much faster. Moreover, with the light of the fire, there were more taxis on each ship than the first two times.

Originally, I thought there would be a big war for the Navy, so most of the new information ships were used for close combat. Who knows, in the end, they turned out to be sneak attacks, so all the preparations in front of them were useless. These ships were used for small rivers and small rivers. They were fast and strong in attack, but they were not easy to use for transporting soldiers, even big ones Under the light of the fire, Huang Zhong only dared to let the warship carry 40 soldiers, but as a result, there were 2000 soldiers in each round.

Huang Zhong can't care so much now. When every boat is full, he orders to sail. The boatman begins to pull the rope toward the island in the middle of the river. The taxi drivers on both sides are not idle. They pick up the oars and help to row. However, at the beginning, because most of the soldiers can't row, the boat is not moving forward, but worse Later, some sailors saw the situation and coordinated with each other. They asked the taxi driver with oars to paddle at the same time according to his number. Only in this way could the ship start smoothly. With the help of the soldiers, the speed was much faster.

Within the barracks, Zhou Tai had already led 600 soldiers to kill Yuan Shu, who had scattered two waves of more than 100 soldiers. Soon after he killed Yuan Shu, who was guarding the barracks, Zhou Tai immediately asked people to open the South Gate of the barracks. After leaving 100 soldiers to guard the barracks, he led the remaining 500 soldiers to the other end of the pontoon.

As he was leaving the south end of the floating bridge, Zhou Tai found that many soldiers had gathered at the head of the bridge, because he didn't know what was going on on in Hexin island. However, they were all ready. He vaguely saw Zhou Tai's leader running from Hexin island. The leader's captain yelled: "who are you? What's the matter with the naval barracks? Stop, or Ben will shoot his arrow! "

Seeing this, Zhou Tai frowned slightly, and soon came up with a plan. As he ran, Zhou Tai ordered the crossbow soldiers behind him to prepare for a surprise attack. Then, he called out from the roadside: "don't shoot an arrow, brother on the other side. It's a water army. Hurry, hurry, Anton's army has already killed the island. Send someone to the island to support him. And send someone to Tuo county to report to general lejiu, saying Anton The army has crossed the river on a large scale. Please send someone to support him immediately! "

Because Zhou Tailai is from Jiujiang, the pronunciation of Jiujiang and Lujiang is not very different. In addition, the sound of killing on the island at this time is so loud that Zhou Tai's voice sounds intermittent from a distance, which makes people not hear clearly. This makes the garrison captain relax some vigilance.

Just as he was about to inquire about the situation on the island in detail, Zhou Tai had already led the people to rush to less than 80 steps away from the bridgehead. Seeing that Yuan Shujun on the opposite side had relaxed his vigilance, and his crossbow soldiers had already entered the attack area, Zhou Tai yelled: "crossbow soldiers, five companies, fire

"Hum hum"

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

With the roar of the crossbows, hundreds of them, like locusts, rushed straight to the bridge, and nearly a hundred soldiers who had gathered were covered in the rain of arrows.

"Poop poop"

"No, enemy attack..."

Although the guard soldiers had already reacted, it was too late. Five rounds of volleying more than 1000 crossbows overturned all the soldiers at the bridgehead. When Zhou Tai led the arrows to stop shooting, and then led them to the bridgehead, only the dead and injured soldiers were left.Le Jiu had already arranged defense at Qiaotou, but since last year, Anton's army has not crossed the Hexin island. Therefore, both the water army at the Hexin island and the soldiers in charge of duty at Qiaotou are very relaxed. In addition, we all know that Anton's army has built up a large army in the south of Qisi two hundred miles downstream. Everyone thinks that Anton's army will cross the river from there, but today it is not Suddenly killed in front of himself, in this way, whether it is the middle of the river island is also in the bridgehead by Zhou Tai with a lightning attack.

As Zhou Tai rushed to the bridge, he could not rest. He ordered the soldiers to move all the corpses of Yuan Shujun to a place more than ten paces away and left them there. Of course, all the soldiers who had not died were killed one by one by them. Now they had no time to take care of the injured soldiers. They had to wait two miles before the thousands of defenders responded Set up the defense and stick to it until the backup troops arrive.

Sure enough, in less than a pillar of incense time, a large fire lit up in the dark in the south, and Yuan Shu's reinforcements, with thousands of people, had rushed to support.

However, Zhou Tai was not afraid of this. He led 500 people who were really elite. They were no different from the so-called imperial guards of Yuan Shu army. Among them, there were more than 200 yuan army crossbow soldiers, and Yuan Shu army had only 2000 soldiers at the end of the bridge.
