Chapter 2090-2093 Innocent Woman 42 (End)
This river is quite wide. If you form a long strip in the middle of the river, neither side of the bank can be attacked. Now you don’t have to worry about being attacked by An Ran from the bank.
Seeing that the foreigners passed through the middle, An Ran and others could no longer attack, so they felt relieved.
However, not long after we were relieved, the enemy's forward ship hit something with a "bang", and the ship was knocked over in an instant.
Fortunately, the vanguard ship was used to explore the route, and there were not many people on it. Otherwise, if the ship carrying soldiers capsized like this, many people would die.
The commander of the coalition forces sent people down to take a look, and found that a lot of things had been placed on the bottom of the river to intercept them. The ship would definitely not be able to pass through the middle of the river, and would have to pass through both sides of the river.
When the generals of the coalition forces heard the news, they couldn't help but look at each other. Needless to say, everyone knew why the enemy did this - they just wanted to force them to pass from both sides of the river, so that they could open fire on them.
They knew clearly what the enemy wanted to do, but they had to do it because they couldn't move the thing that the enemy put in the water for a while - even if they could move it, they wouldn't move it because it was easy to be moved when moving.
People sneak attack, and if the yellow monkeys get the obstacles in the middle of the river, what can they do to help them move them away? In the future, when the yellow monkeys want to use the river, won't it be good for them to move them by themselves? Let them use these things to block them.
When I move in the future, they will suffer the consequences.
"Go at full speed and pass through the dangerous area!" the coalition commander ordered.
He didn't believe that the enemy had that time to lay stones in the entire river!
As long as not all river channels are filled with rocks, they don't have to worry about being beaten by the enemy all the time.
And if the enemy has got rocks here, there must be firepower nearby, so they will naturally have to hurry when they pass through to avoid being hit.
An Ran really didn't have time to build rocks in the entire river channel, but he just built some at intervals. This alone caused a lot of trouble for the coalition forces.
No, from time to time they would deviate from the middle of the river and enter the shooting range on both sides of the shore. Just as they expected, once they deviated from the middle of the river, artillery would be launched from both sides of the river, and sometimes enemy ships would appear.
When they came to fight them, the generals of the coalition forces were furious. They were as angry as Dong Hanzhang, General Wang and others. They were all thinking about who this bandit was and why he was so treacherous.
Unfortunately, they can't attack the enemy because the enemy's ships actually run faster than theirs! They can't hit them even if they want to, let alone those on the shore. Attacking ashore is purely a loss of lives. In such a situation,
How could they not get angry?
It was not easy to get to the disembarkation place.
Before arriving, the commander of the coalition forces discussed with the generals of various countries: "We cannot disembark once we have arrived. Look at this, the enemy will probably set up an ambush at the place where we disembark, and disembarkation is the most vulnerable time for our soldiers. If the enemy has
If there is an ambush, we will suffer losses again, so we have to break the routine and get off halfway. At worst, we will get off the boat and walk a little longer."
In fact, the commander of the coalition forces regretted it. If he had known that Lu Bandit's people were so powerful, he should not have trusted him in the first place. He felt that it would be safe for Lu Bandit to sail within Lu Bandit's territory because he did not have a navy. At that time, he thought that he would arrive by boat.
There is an underground boat in the territory of Lu bandit, which is close to Dong Hanzhang's headquarters. It can save a little distance so that the coalition forces don't have to walk a long way. It's hard work.
If he had known that Lu Bandit's people were so powerful, he would never have taken a boat to Lu Bandit's territory.
Everyone agreed after hearing this.
Someone said: "It doesn't matter if we walk a little longer. Although there is intelligence that the enemy likes to make sneak attacks. However, if we are on the water, the enemies will also make sneak attacks. Now that we are on land, even if we have the same sneak attack, it will be worse than being attacked on the water. We can't even hide."
Be strong."
Since everyone agreed, the commander of the coalition forces immediately sent scouts ashore to check the situation in areas that had not been attacked. After seeing that there was no ambush on the shore, he let the soldiers disembark.
This time, the Wan Guojun organized by the foreigners totaled 50,000 people. Along the way, An Ran bombed and sank many ships, killing and injuring thousands of people. Before the fighting even started, so many people were killed and injured. It was very difficult.
Somewhat damaging to morale.
However, after they landed ashore, everyone's morale had recovered a lot. It's not surprising that they behaved like this, because just a few years ago, they had defeated the Huang Dynasty and won a great victory, forcing the Huang Dynasty to sign a lot of indemnity treaties.
, so they looked down upon the people of the Huang Dynasty and looked down upon them.
Although they were killed and injured a lot by An Ran's people before on the water, they felt that it was because they were on the water and the enemy was on the shore. They were at a disadvantage and that's why they were like this. Now that they are all on the shore, their weapons and
The equipment is no worse than that of the enemy, how could they not defeat those sallow-looking country farmers?
However, their confidence soon suffered a devastating blow.
An Ran quickly received the exact address where they landed, and immediately arranged for someone to intercept them.
It’s still the same old thing, guerrilla warfare.
Dong Hanzhang, a native, can't handle guerrilla warfare, let alone these foreigners who are not very good at strategy. Seeing An Ran attack them like this, even if they had received intelligence from Huang Chao that Lu bandit was good at sneak attacks, they were prepared.
But they found that there was still nothing they could do against Lu Bandit. There was nothing they could do. After all, they couldn't catch up. Let's fight. Both sides had similar weapons and they didn't have an advantage, so there was nothing they could do.
The more he saw An Ran's men sneaking up on them like this, the more the coalition commander regretted that he should not have entered Lu bandit territory in the first place.
At the time, they felt that they were so powerful that they would not be in trouble even if they were traveling through Lu bandit territory. But now it seems that they were obviously overconfident, and they were about to be chased and beaten all the way.
On the way, they encountered a bastion and thought about attacking it, but after thinking about it, they decided not to.
Unlike Easterners who are not very familiar with bastions, foreigners are quite familiar with bastions because they also have bastions over there.
Knowing that they were difficult to break, even if they could be broken in the end, it would take a long time, so even though the coalition saw the bastions, they ultimately chose not to attack them.
Although we still have to fight against Lu Bandit in the end, we still need to ask Dong Hanzhang about the specific situation before fighting. After all, they are not like Dong Hanzhang, who is a native and unfamiliar with the place. They start a fight rashly, fearing that they do not have enough information and will lose soldiers in vain.
.
Seeing that the coalition commander saw those bastions but did not order an attack, to be honest, the coalition forces could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
They had no choice but to fight all the way, which almost destroyed their confidence. In the past, they thought the yellow monkeys were trash and looked down upon them. But now, with Lu Bandit having nothing to gain from them, they no longer dare to look down upon them. On the contrary,
