Chapter 463: Difficulty in siege, Yanxi Trap

A huge rolling stone kept rolling in the air, and then hit the deck of the warship hard.

Suddenly, fragments flew everywhere.

The leaky warship that had already begun to sink immediately began to tilt and sank unstoppably.

Wen Fuzhi raised his gloomy gaze and saw Li Xuan on the city gate at a glance.

The two of them looked at each other, and the disdain in the corner of Li Xuan's eyes was clearly seen by Wen Fuzhi, and for a moment, he was angry.

Li Xuan smiled contemptuously and continued to look at the river.

I saw that around the warship that began to sink, other small boats that were receiving could not get close to them.

The rolling stones on the top of the head fall down. When you get a little closer, the rolling stones will hit you immediately.

Smash it over directly.

The navy soldiers on the warship jumped off the ship one after another, and then swam back from the bottom of the water.

They abandoned the ship.

Li Xuan stood above the city gate, staring at all this calmly, killing the chicken to scare the monkey, so that they could understand that they would not want to win the Sanhe Pass without paying a considerable price.

Battlefield fighting has always been the cruelest and is also the easiest to shake people's hearts.

Li Xuan's eyes passed over Wen Fuzhi and fell on the soldiers behind him.

Some people have worries on their faces and fearful eyes, while others have excitement on their eyes and are naturally bloodthirsty.

Although Yuan Chao had killed a group of people, there were still many devout believers of the Tianyin Sect in this fleet.

If these people are not killed, the war will not end.

...

On the city gate, Yao Zhi stood beside Li Xuan, looking at the floating corpse that had completely sunk, and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that Captain Zhu hasn't experienced a water battle for a long time, and even forgot such the most basic thing."

Li Xuan kept looking forward and shook his head slightly: "I heard that Captain Zhu once served in the Hangzhou Navy. Perhaps he had strangled the navy to go out to sea to kill pirates, so he was more good at sea fighting. He would be more unfamiliar with this kind of water war on the river."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan paused for a moment, looked at Yao Zhi and said, "Maybe it is precisely because of this that Zhu Li got to know Zhoushan Hai Pirates... The three Bai brothers died, and the traces of Zhoushan Hai Pirates might be about to fall on him."

"Yeah!" Yao Zhi nodded.

The death of the three Bai brothers was something they did not expect, but fortunately, there is still a chance to find out the whereabouts of the pirates in Zhoushan.

At this moment, more small boats were put down on the warship in the distance.

These small boats were loaded with many soldiers in black. These soldiers in black suddenly jumped out of the water before the ship reached the range of stone casting.

That was a group of water ghosts.

As soon as the water ghost jumped into the water, the catapult was immediately unable to threaten them.

Li Xuan looked at this scene and couldn't help but shake her head and said, "In this way, Sanhe Pass will not be able to be guarded for long."

"The prince still wants to replicate the record of Meiling Pass earlier, which is not easy." Yao Zhi couldn't help laughing.

Water warfare is different from land warfare, and there are too many factors that are difficult to control.

Li Xuan waved his hand, put away his thoughts, and continued to look into the distance.

A famous water ghost jumped off the boat and sneaked into the water to find the wooden stakes hidden under the water surface.

Sanhe Pass is located in Wujiang and the population is entering endless mountains. The water surface in this area has begun to narrow. In addition, after the establishment of Sanhe Pass, the government began to deliberately control the number of ships, so the ship travel is even more restricted.

The depth of the river channel in this area is lower than that in other places, so it is easier to build wooden stakes at the bottom of the river.

Sanhe Pass has received an order to seal the pass more than ten days ago.

Whether it was Li Xuan, Wang Fanglin, or even the Sima of Yuezhou Yao Zhi, he ordered more than once to strengthen river defense and even inspected himself.

In this case, who is lazy?

Chen Lin, the Sanhe Pass guard, knew the power of this, so he was very prepared in all aspects.

When the ship of the Tianyin Sect arrived here, he immediately could not move forward again when he encountered a wooden stake hidden underwater.

The warship draught is deeper than other ordinary ships, and they do not know the real location of the stake, so they can only send water ghosts to the water to explore slowly.

"King, why don't they follow the King and then suddenly start to rise up? After all, it's easier to attack the city. Why do they choose to be exposed early?" Yao Zhi suddenly asked a question.

When Li Xuan left before, he was carefully commanded by the defenders.

When he returned before, if he wanted to enter the pass smoothly, he not only needed the soldiers on the closed side to untie all the iron ropes on the water, but also needed to be led by the defenders through the hidden stake formation.

As long as you pass the underwater hidden stake formation safely, it will no longer be a problem to take down the entire Sanhe Pass.

Li Xuan looked at Wen Fu in the distance and said softly: "Before, I gathered all the generals with a team leader above the level, just to bring these people into Guanzhong. Without these people, the entire navy would be no longer threatened.

Wen Fuzhi also saw this, so he took action in advance, letting these people return to the ship, and the navy immediately restarted the combat power."

Li Xuan said, looking directly at the water. The rolling stones on the shore fell from time to time, but it was difficult to hurt the people under the water.

At this moment, a shout of killing suddenly came from the distant mountain ridge. Hundreds of soldiers wearing blue battle robes suddenly rushed out from behind the mountain. The soldiers who came down from the boat and landed on the shore were not prepared at all and were immediately killed and fled in scattered.

Some even jumped directly into the river.

Wen Fuzhi also saw this scene. He couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I had known that the King of Nanchang was very calculating, but I didn't expect it to be so comprehensive!"

Zhu Li shook his head: "The navy has its own tactics. Although the Nanchang King has some strategies, he does not understand the method of water war."

Wen Fuzhi looked at the city wall again and said, "It's better to take down Sanhe Pass first."

...

As the sun sets, the Wujiang River is sparkling.

A heavy wooden stake floated up from the bottom of the river and then went downstream, and was soon hit by the pole on the warship.

Wen Fuzhi looked at the river channel that was gradually being cleaned up, and there was not much excitement on his face.

On the city wall in the distance, Li Xuan and Yao Zhi were still watching all this calmly.

"He is really cautious!" Li Xuan sighed and said with a chuckle: "If Fang Fengjin could have such patience, then the unlucky person at Meiling Pass would be me."

A warship slowly moved forward, and many warships behind were lined up in a row. In addition to the chains that must be broken, the hidden piles could be avoided as much as possible. The power of the scattered straits on the shore was immediately weakened a lot.

Yao Zhi said lightly: "But he also lost time. Although the soldiers were not killed or injured, their patience was consumed a lot."

"It's time to let half of the remaining catapults start to double the shooting, and the remaining half evacuate immediately." Li Xuan ordered decisively.

"Abide by the order!" Yao Zhi immediately bowed.

They had no intention of defending Sanhe Pass.

For Li Xuan, the terrain of Sanhe Pass is not suitable for great development.

Although there are certain terrain advantages here, warships have greatly offset this advantage.

The most powerful cavalry under Li Xuan cannot play out here.

There is also fire attack, which is also very unsuitable.

So there is only one who can withdraw.

...

A full moon hung high in the air, and the earth was translucent. Wen Fuzhi finally stepped onto Sanhe Pass.

Zhu Li and his subordinates immediately came up and quickly bowed and said, "Report to the Grand Chief, the King of Nanchang has already withdrawn everything that can be withdrawn in advance, leaving us an empty city."

"It would be nice to have an empty city. I am really worried that when you enter, the entire city suddenly caught fire and burned all of you to death." Wen Fuzhi subconsciously sneered, then looked to the northwest direction: "It's just summer now, and there is little northwest wind. Even if there is something wrong with this Sanhe Pass, they are burning themselves, so the King of Nanchang wants to withdraw."

"What the Grand Chief Executive said is very much." Zhu Li breathed a sigh of relief. Since Wen Fuzhi regained the navy, they had reconnected with Muzhou, and had learned more about the details of the battle at Meiling Pass, and the methods of the King of Nanchang.

"The terrain here is not suitable for the King of Nanchang, but on this Wujiang River, there are always places suitable for the King of Nanchang, and we must be careful." Wen Fuzhi walked into the middle of Sanhe Pass.

Just after walking in a few steps, a gray-clothed team leader came out and reported to Wen Fuzhi and Zhu Li: "The chief manager, lieutenant, brothers, shortly after the meal, many people had diarrhea. We... we found croton flour in the seized granary grain..."

"Batou flour?" Zhu Li smashed his fist hatefully and cursed angrily: "Damn the King of Nanchang, don't use serious means, just use these evil ways."

"How many people are there? Can you still move overnight tonight?" Wen Fuzhi asked quickly, hoping to reach the bottom of Lanxi County in the early morning.

"There are 30% of the brothers..." Before the team leader had finished reporting, a burst of footsteps behind him rang out again.

Wen Fuzhi quickly turned around and saw a team holding a long sword running quickly from outside the city.

His breathing was heavy, and there was a large piece of blood on his left cheek. Before he could stand still, he had already reported: "Qi Zhengzhou Captain, Qi Zhengzhou General Manager, we suddenly encountered three hundred cavalry. After a charge of the cavalry, we were already dispersed. After the cavalry killed, we were withdrawn."

"Where are our people now?" Wen Fuzhi asked coldly.

"I have returned to the city." The team leader lowered his head in shame.

"How many of our people have died?" Wen Fuzhi asked again.

"One hundred people were killed in battle, and more than two hundred were injured." The team leader lowered his head.

"Three hundred cavalry can easily defeat my former army. King of Nanchang, he doesn't want us to leave Sanhe Pass easily!" Zhu Li waved his hand and signaled the team to lead the team, and then Zhu Li drove everyone out again.
