The boarding battle was an extremely brutal fight on the battlefield. The two armies stepped across the pontoon bridge and fought hand-to-hand with fists to the flesh.
Before Xu Mu could speak, Si Hu had already run off the boat. In the blink of an eye, he was holding the giant ax and roaring like crazy.
According to Dongfang Jing's words, the Cangzhou Navy's defeat was complete. Even in the boarding battle, they were constantly being killed and retreated.
The river surface was filled with floating corpses, ship debris, and broken arrow shafts.
Xu Mu's face was expressionless. The words to pay homage to Paoze were reserved for after the great victory.
"One steamed bun, two steamed buns...eight steamed buns!" Si Hu was like a killing god, wearing a large thick armor, counting his military achievements while killing.
With Si Hu as the center, the surrounding Shu troops, probably infected by Si Hu's power, burst into a wave of morale, holding swords and shields, and chopped off heads one by one.
"I, Shuzhou Tianwei, are like chopping off the heads of pigs and dogs!"
…
Dusk fills the sky. Looking from a distance, the bloody setting sun merges with the river surface, making it impossible to distinguish the color of the sky from the color of the river.
Tong Du stood on the boat and his eyes were about to burst. He still wanted to shout, but found that his voice was hoarse.
"General Tong, retreat, retreat!" General Youbi urged anxiously.
"Shut up."
Tong Du held the sword, his hands trembling. Not out of fear, but out of anger. Cangzhou Navy retreated step by step, and Shuzhou's army had already reached them.
A feeling of powerlessness quickly surged throughout his body.
"I, Tong Du, used to go into the Yangtze River to suppress bandits. When the bandits heard my name, they were all frightened. How dare any commoner thieves deceive me?"
"Listen to my military orders, kill the Shu army's main formation, and stop the common thieves!"
"If anyone retreats, behead him immediately!"
…
"This Tong Du has some blood. It's a pity that there is no way to save him." Dongfang Jing sighed.
To anyone who looks at it, the Cangzhou Navy already looks like it has been defeated.
Tong Du did not return to the dock and wanted to fight to the death. This made Xu Mu a little surprised.
"The army, surround and suppress the Cangzhou Navy! Crush the enemy's wings and seize the main ship."
Under the order, not long after, the Shuzhou Navy began to encircle, killing and encircling. After about two hours, the last Cangzhou Navy was encircled in the center of the river.
It was already dark. Even though the boat lanterns and torches were swayed by the river wind, and the remnant of the ship was on fire, they still reflected the position in the middle of the river, and the panicked faces of the soldiers of the Cangzhou Navy.
"Hook! Hook!"
More than ten Shuzhou warships stuck Gou Ju on a Cangzhou ship and let out a roar that shook the sky.
The ship was swaying, and was finally hooked. When the rope was thrown, many Shuzhou soldiers climbed up without fear of death, and fought together with the enemy troops guarding the ship.
During this period, many Shu soldiers were stabbed, and their bodies sank into the river and then resurfaced. But more of them were Cangzhou soldiers who fell from the building and the boat. They were all covered in blood and not dead. They stretched out their hands with difficulty and shouted loudly, trying to cry for help.
Thump thump thump.
A flying arrow fell, indiscriminately turning the Cangzhou soldiers who fell into the water into hedgehogs.
On a building ship, Si Hu climbed up and slashed horizontally and vertically with his giant axe, cutting off the mast and cutting holes one by one. Fighting from the deck to the cabin, and finally chasing several Cangzhou boat masters, they were easy to kill.
I don't know how long it took to chop, but the building ship began to shake.
A Shuzhou general who was about to jump into the river angrily grabbed Si Hu's hand.
"General Tiger looks like a fool, jump now!"
Fortunately, there was a warship to respond. Many soldiers had already swam back to the warship before the ship sank into the river.
…
Tong Du was on the verge of collapse, and his appearance at this time was no longer as high-spirited as before. More like a desperate gambler.
Unfortunately, he lost the bet.
"General Tong, it's getting dark soon, why not take advantage of the opportunity and rush out." Beside Tong Du, another general advised him.
"I was defeated by the commoner thief!" Tong Du suddenly raised his head and said in a sad voice. He held his sword and finally managed to stand firm.
"Tong Jiang, give the order quickly! It's too late!"
"I, I cannot avenge my two sworn brothers! I have betrayed my brother's trust and the imperial decree of the court. I, I have been familiar with the art of war since I was a child, how can I be willing to do so!"
"Listen! Listen to my military order and charge to kill the civilian thief's main ship!"
…
The sky is getting brighter, and the river breeze carries a refreshing chill.
On the building boat, Xu Mu stood steadily. In this world, everyone has a story. It can range from an emperor's traitor to a traitor, or it can range from a trafficker to a pawn.
In this troubled world, everyone is a protagonist, and those who can survive have their own means.
For example, he was a stickman who started making wine, and gained the appreciation of Lord Yuan. He was full of passion to kill the traitor and rejected Beidi, so he got to where he is today step by step.
"Whoever kills an enemy general and decapitates him will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and promoted to a general!" Xu Mu raised his head and pointed at the Cangzhou main ship, which was charging towards him.
On the main ship, Tong Du's figure kept swinging his sword and roaring in anger.
"After defeating the Cangzhou Navy, the next step is to land ashore and enter Muyun State. In this battle, my lord has taken the most stable step." Dongfang Jing said.
Under the dawn light, there was a morning glow, which dyed half of Xu Mu's face red.
Tong Du's roaring voice was hoarse and sad.
"The four eagles in Cangzhou live and die together——"
…
Zhang Shun, who was setting up fortifications in Muyun Prefecture, suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the river bank.
"General, what's wrong?"
"It's okay." Zhang Shun lowered his head and felt a severe tightness in his chest. According to his assumptions, even Tong Du couldn't stop Xu Mu. Even if the city gate of Muyun State is withdrawn, it can be held for a long time.
When the time comes, just wait for reinforcements from Cangzhou. That damn Lingzhou Zuo Shiren suddenly bit him like a crazy dog.
"Quick, continue to set up fortifications and lay traps!"
After giving the instructions, Zhang Shun felt uneasy after all, so he took a few sips of hot tea.
"General, reinforcements are coming!"
Putting down the tea cup, Zhang Shun turned around in surprise. When the reinforcements arrived, he frowned again.
In front of him were Cangzhou's reinforcements. But this support army, for him, he is not happy at the bottom of his heart.
"Wei Diao, General of the Eastern Conquest, has met General Zhang."
Zhang Shun nodded silently, with a hint of coldness on his face.
"I don't know how many reinforcements you have brought with you."
"There are about ten thousand chivalrous rebels." Wei Diao's voice was also cold. After entering the court, he realized that these so-called aristocratic families did not like him at all. Even the promised position of general was just a false name without power.
If it weren't for the emergency of this war, and he was allowed to take charge of the Xiaer Rebel Army again, it is estimated that he would never have the opportunity to lead an army in Cangzhou.
"Master Wei has a broken arm. He has been working hard all the way to help. Let's rest early." Zhang Shun turned around and walked forward without looking back.
Wei Diao stood trembling.
Suddenly, something in white clothes passed by beside him. He was so frightened that he quickly jumped up and took more than ten steps back.
"Master Wei, what's wrong?" A knight following him asked strangely.
Wei Diao gritted his teeth, "I told you not to wear white clothes!"
"Master Wei, the knight wears white...it is the rule of the helm."
"I told you not to wear white clothes, don't wear them!"
Wei Diao rushed over in anger and tore the white robe of the person in front of him into pieces and dropped them to the ground. Unable to bear it anymore, he raised his foot and crushed the torn pieces of white clothes into the mud.
But even so, the mud and dust still can't cover up the whiteness of the white clothes.
Dazzlingly white.
