Chapter 59 Easy Fortress Battle

The fire in the water village continued until the evening of September 27th.

With the blockade of this fire wall, the Zhou army who came on the boat swung all the iron rods and wooden stakes in front of the water camp, and waited for the fire to be put out before attacking Shouzhou.

However, when Zhou army commander Li Gu came to the remnants of the water camp on a boat and wanted to set foot on the land in Huainan as soon as possible, he and all the generals were stunned.

Five or six meters behind the water village, there was a fortress that climbed up the steps. The total concave was five floors. The thick walls in front of each floor were built into the city card. The walls were gray, but they looked very thick. Each floor was covered with Shouzhou soldiers full of armor. The entire fortress and two extremely thick and tall post towers on the river embankments on both sides formed a defensive position of "two city gate towers, multi-story city walls".

Li Gu looked at it for a while and snorted coldly: "Levels of blocking, Lin Feng is just like this. It's just a little trick."

Shi Detong, who rushed from the downstream in the afternoon, helped out, "In front of my 200,000 army, everything will be turned into pieces, but unfortunately, we did not even detect such a situation in advance."

The sarcasm of this pun caused Zhao Kuangyin to snort coldly and turn his head without saying a word.

Li Gu stared at Shi Detong with dissatisfaction and ordered small catapults and siege crossbows to be built at night, and transported them to the double-chariot warship early tomorrow morning, and continue to hit the ball, but he didn't believe that he would not be able to knock out this annoying monster castle.

At the 28th September, eight two-chariot warships of Zhou army rushed to the front of the water camp in twisted and oblique sailing routes, and slowly stopped. Eight huge siege crossbows were shot out immediately, and three catapults also threw out the stone bullets that were made overnight.

The siege crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm roared, taking the remaining wooden stakes in the water village ahead and hit the fourth floor of the fortress fiercely. However, the bombardment effect was disappointing. The sharp iron crossbow arrow arrows only hit a white dot on the wall, and the shaft was shattered. The three stone bombs that followed were not much better, but a shallow pit was knocked out on the fortress wall, splashing some dust fragments.

This attack effect stunned all the officers and soldiers of the Zhou army. What was built by this? It was so strong.

Zhao Kuangyin was the first to react and shouted loudly: "Do away, be careful of the catapult."

Several warships in the middle reacted and moved their positions quickly. However, the warships on both sides were dissatisfied and fired a crossbow arrow at the two sentry towers next to each other. The hull was adjusted a little slower and was found by two revenge rock bombs from the Shouzhou Army. One was smashed through the surface of the ship, and the other was accidentally broken by the mast.

The commanders of the eight warships were not stupid, and immediately commanded their warships to retreat to the north of the place where the floating bridge was broken yesterday, to guard against the movement of the Shouzhou Army.

Li Gu, who was commanding the ship outside the safe range, looked at the generals around him who were silent. He knew that there was no good idea, so he had to order on his own: to open the road in front of the big bow of the three damaged hulls as cover, and all the other assault soldiers attacked on the boat, and strived to go down in one fell swoop.

The three large ships were still moving forward in distortion and moved forward with fear. Sure enough, the Shouzhou Army's stone bomb digger began to show its power again. However, this time, only one ship was wiped by the stone bomb, and there was a large mouth on the side of the ship.

The three warships accelerated and rushed forward. When they were only thirty meters away from the water camp, there was no stone bullets falling again. They were relieved. The Zhou army on the ship cheered in unison and continued to attack forward.

The three warships crashed the broken piles of the water village, slowed down slowly, and docked sideways in front of the fortress. The soldiers on the hull had already raised dense shields to resist the arrows shot from the fortress. At the same time, they began to shoot arrows to suppress the defenders of Shouzhou. The small boats of Zhou army immediately docked the ship behind the large ship, or passed through the gap between the large ships, and rushed directly to the bottom of the first floor of the fortress.

In the assault team, Zhao Kuangyin still led Zheng En and other Hu Ben Guards to play the vanguard, protected them with a large shield, jumped over a wall more than one meter high, and directly entered the first floor.

Strangely, the defending Shouzhou soldiers did not contact the battle at all, and immediately turned back to the second floor through three upward passages to continue defending.

After seeing the successful attack of the three assault warships, Li Gu laughed a few times and immediately sent six double-car warships and dozens of small warships to attack with all his strength.

Because the two sides were in contact, the upper part of the fortress and the Zhou army warships stopped shooting archery. Zhao Kuangyin and Zheng En were like two leading tigers, leading the Tiger Guards to sweep the third floor of the fortress. As soon as they rushed to the fourth floor of the fortress, they heard the continuous rapid whistles.

When the "invincible" defenders of Shouzhou heard the whistle, they all turned around and ran to both sides of the fortress on their own, slid down the slope, and the Shouzhou troops on both sides evacuated one after another.

Zhao Kuangyin and others easily attacked the fifth floor, feeling extremely puzzled. Lin Feng had tortured such a strong fortress and gave up directly after a charge.

Zheng En, who was the first to rush to the top of the fort, looked south and was stunned. Zhao Kuangyin rushed to two steps and rushed to Zheng En, watching forward. The man also froze. He immediately turned around and roared to the back and said, "Come on Li Shuai."

Li Gu, who was sitting on the commanding ship in the river, was watching the second batch of warships forward to reinforce, and found the victory flag uploaded by the warships. He immediately laughed loudly: "Lin Feng, the reputation is so great, but it is nothing more than that." He immediately stood up and excitedly commanded the ship to move forward.

Soon, Li Gu and a group of generals rushed to the top of the fortress. Seeing the scene below, the group of people were all stunned.

Ten meters south of the fortress, a trench five meters deep and five meters wide surrounded the entire fortress and the sentry towers on both sides. Three hundred steps ahead of the trench, the Shouzhou army formed three formations of left, middle and right, with no less than ten thousand people in each formation, arranged in the shape of a "pin". In front of them, there was a sank horse formation of two hundred meters wide and twenty meters deep. The wood was hanging from the horizontal and vertical wood with blades, spikes and other objects. On the high pole in the middle, a long white cloth floated with six large bold characters written on it: "Li Gu, do you dare to attack?"

Li Gu was suddenly angry and laughed. Lin Feng was so crazy that he actually wanted to fight with him.

Li Chongjin laughed first, pointed to the wooden formations and said, "After all, I'm a child from the south. I don't know how powerful my heavy cavalry in the north are. Just by these things, I can stop my unparalleled cavalry in the Great Zhou."

Shi Detong followed and said, "It turns out that it is the Southern Barbarians. There are not many things that can be taken out, but they all are as arrogant as Yelang."

Zhao Kuangyin, who had been frowning, spoke and whispered: "Ship Li, please pay attention to both sides of the enemy."

Li Gu turned his gaze to both sides of the Shouzhou army and immediately discovered an abnormality in the Shouzhou army formation: on each side, more than a thousand soldiers wearing Dazhou black uniforms knelt on the ground, their heads reached the ground, and their arms were behind them. Behind each, there was a Shouzhou army carrying a steel knife, and gestured from time to time, as if they were looking for the best place to cut the knife.

Li Gu sneered repeatedly: "Lin Feng judges a gentleman's ambition by his villain's heart. If you want to use this method to force me to fight, then I will fulfill his wish."

Zhao Kuangyin pointed to the position in the middle of the Shouzhou army in the distance and said, "Ship Li, please see, although the Shouzhou army formation is mainly black, there are sometimes messy clothes, most of which are bright in color, and it looks very similar to the southern barbarians in the south of the Chu area of ​​Jiangnan."
