The next morning,
An earth-shattering siren sound awakened everyone, only to see the steam warships of the big man, after a night of repairs, arranged in a conical formation and continued to move forward.
Two dreadnought-class battleships opened the way ahead, and the huge fleet broke through the water, which was extremely oppressive.
Vijaya, Saint Jiuzhi, Gabriel, Amzi and others rushed over after hearing the sound, lying on the city wall and watching the approaching warships,
Pfft!
Pfft!
Every time the heart beats, it seems to be raised by a point, and it has gradually jumped to the throat.
At this moment, they are like old artists who are doing research outside the women's bathhouse. Seeing the beauties inside are slowly undressing, they are so nervous.
"almost!"
"Go a little further, and you'll be in the obstacle zone!"
Sheng Jiuzhi tightly grasped the battlements with both hands, half of his body leaned out of the city in excitement.
Everyone is looking forward to the scene of the big man ship crashing and dying.
However, to their disbelief,
The two Dreadnought-class battleships Luoyang and Yangzhou sailed into the obstacle zone, but they drove over without any collision.
"What's going on? Why doesn't it work?"
Gabriel quickly questioned Saint Jiuzhi.
Consumed so much iron, and so much energy, but no eggs?
If he hadn't considered that his mother was the empress dowager, Gabriel would have greeted him directly.
Sheng Jiuzhi frowned as he watched the two Dreadnought-class warships,
He has commanded the navy for more than ten years, and he has a good understanding of the draft of ships.
"Impossible, with the weight of those two huge battleships, they will definitely touch the obstacles we set up!"
"Not to mention the two huge warships in the front, even the small and medium warships in the back will definitely encounter them!"
He is very sure about his arrangement.
But reality, but how to explain it?
They didn't know that it wasn't that the rice-shaped cone didn't work, but that in the past day, Jiaolong's army took turns diving underwater and sawing off the cone above the rice-shaped cone with a hacksaw!
Today's rice-shaped cone is at least four feet away from the water surface. Even if the Dreadnought-class battleship sails past, there is still more than half a foot of space!
For other battleships, it is even easier.
"What's impossible, they're already here!"
Amzi was furious, and he was so angry that he reprimanded Sheng Jiuzhi in public, "Hurry up and open the sluice gate, and send ships to fight!"
There are sufficient defenses on land, but on the river, ships can rush directly to the city wall.
The Dreadnought-class battleship is twenty feet high, and the city wall is half short in front of it!
Once the battleship is allowed to approach, they will lose the danger of the city wall.The Han army can drive straight into the city!
Sheng Jiuzhi was helpless,
Although he is a member of the royal family, the royal family has long been emptied, and the real power falls in the hands of Gabriel and Amzie.Even if he was reprimanded in public, he could not refute it.
He had no choice but to open the sluice and lead hundreds of ships to kill them in a mighty manner.
But they don't know,
The Jiaolong army has been lurking in the water. When the sluice gate was opened, the Jiaolong army took advantage of the situation and sneaked into the river in the city.
As for those warships, don't worry at all.
In front of the Dreadnought-class battleship, hundreds of ships are like snakes and rats in front of a giant elephant, vulnerable to a single blow!
Liu Rengui ignored their attacks and ordered the battleship to rush over.
Gan Ning and Sun Ce drove the medium-sized steam warship, rampaging among hundreds of ships.
If a warship approached, they jumped directly onto the enemy's warship and threw all of them into the river before jumping back to their own warship with the rope prepared in advance.
Facing such a ferocious Han army navy, the poisoned navy had no power to fight back, and was beaten and fled in an instant.
Liu Rengui personally commanded the battleship to rush to the front of the city wall, and the archers occupied the commanding heights to suppress the enemy.
The infantry put down their boards and charged up the walls.
Gan Ning, Sun Ce, Xu Sheng, Wen Pin, Ling Cao, Zhou Tai and other fierce generals took the lead and led the team to kill the enemy!
Like chopping melons and vegetables, several openings were torn apart in an instant.
The soldiers followed closely behind and charged into the city wall.
Hand to hand combat, life and death fight!
It's not only about who has the stronger martial arts, but also who has the better equipment!
The martial arts of the Han army are generally two or three grades higher than those of the poisoned soldiers. In addition, the armor of the big man is strong, the weapons are sharp, and the generals are brave!
Take advantage!
Therefore, although the number is small, the more they kill, the braver they are.
On the other hand, on the side of Shendu, their morale was quickly wiped out.
But they also knew that Amaravati was the last bastion, and there was no way out.
So even if they are afraid, they will continue to fight!
However, blessings and misfortunes never come singly.
Just as they were struggling with the Dahan Navy, the Dahan Army suddenly launched an attack!
The sword and shield soldiers of the Han army were in the front to resist the attack of the archers, and a group of soldiers followed behind, filling the trench with wooden boards.
quickly,
A piece of wood was set up on the trench, and the footsteps of the Han army were slowly advancing!
What makes the body poisonous and the lungs explode is that,
Among the wooden boards they used, many were door panels removed from temples!
……
Chapter 497 Breaking the City Part One
Seeing that the navy of the Han army had gained a firm foothold on its city wall, the Han army also launched a general offensive.
The Minister of Military and Political Affairs, Amzi, was in a hurry.
"Release the water and drown them!"
chaos in haste,
Amzi was afraid that the Han army would approach, so he forgot even the most basic common sense.
The Han army has just begun to enter the low-lying areas, and releasing water at this time will only force the Han army back, but cannot drown the Han army.
Fortunately, the deputy general remained calm and reminded him, "My lord, military and political officer, now is not the time. It will not be too late to release the water after the Han army has completely entered the flooded area!"
Amzi came back to his senses abruptly,
"You're right, just wait!"
In order to let the Han army into the set, they even asked the archers not to shoot arrows.
Then,
Under the leadership of Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, Pan Feng and other fierce generals, the Han army passed through half of the flooded area safely and quickly.
The vanguard was only 200 meters away from the city wall, and the area 800 meters behind them was all paved with wooden boards.
The sword and shield soldiers continued to rush forward, while Liu Bian stood on the Nine Dragon Banner Chariot and appeared in front of everyone.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of catapults were pushed over.
"It's the Emperor of Han!"
The poisonous generals soon discovered Liu Bian and shouted excitedly.
"They were fooled!"
The soldiers lowered their voices, excited.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Amzi quickly ordered, "Hurry up, release the water and drown them!"
"Yes!"
A general hurried to the gate,
However, after waiting for a long time, Amzi still did not see any water released.
The catapults of the Han army have all been erected.
Amzie panicked,
He is well aware of the power of the catapult, one or two can bear it, but now there are hundreds of them!
"Where's the water?"
"what happened!"
Amzi was furious and quickly sent someone to urge him.
But at this moment, turmoil suddenly broke out in the city, and there were terrified shouts,
"There are enemies!"
"The enemy has sneaked into the city!"
"No, the enemy has blocked the gate."
It turned out that the Jiaolong army sneaked into the city early and blocked the connection between the river through the city and the moat.
