Chapter 97: Locking the City(2/2)

Dozens of people were shot into the water, and the Xuchang navy panicked and retreated.

When Xu Ling saw the reinforcements arriving in time, he also led his navy soldiers to approach the wooden piles erected in the river without caring about their own safety. He used a sharp ax to cut off the iron ropes and hemp ropes wrapped around the wooden piles, and then headed towards the pontoon bridge.

.

The four large-winged boats used hook guns to secure the pontoon bridge. While resisting the defenders from attacking from the pontoon bridge, the navy generals lit hundreds of fire oil cans and quickly threw them onto the pontoon bridge, until the pontoon bridge of more than 200 steps was completely destroyed.

Caught in the raging fire, the four large-winged boats released their hook guns and swam down the water to participate in the rescue of the fallen generals...

Yue Hailou stood on the Linying City Wall, his heart was filled with ice and he did not want to look at the scene in front of him.

At this time, the warm sunrise had just climbed up to the treetops. The field covered with weeds and shrubs was covered with white frost. The mist had dissipated and the view was no longer blocked. Countless soldiers and horses from the Southern Dynasties came from the southeast, south and west.

The face was dark and the people were approaching.

Yue Hailou was so painful that he wanted to close his eyes.

Before Muchi had to order the cavalry troops who suffered heavy casualties to be recalled to the city, and before Linying City's communication with the outside world was cut off by the overwhelmingly superior Southern Dynasty soldiers and horses, Yue Hailou knew that the south pontoon of Xuchang City had been set on fire by the Chushan navy;

The flooding that spread from Miaowang Valley to the north last night also quickly cut off the camp area on the south bank of Yingshui River. The flooding is still spreading to both sides, and the position is still rising.

Although there are some areas with higher terrain along the Yingshui River, including the long embankment on the south bank of the Yingshui River, which have not yet been flooded by Taishui, they are too narrow.

At the same time, because the flooding cut off the camp area in the north of Miaowang Valley and continued to spread to both sides, the soldiers and horses in the north of Miaowang Valley had to evacuate hastily to the two wings to avoid flooding. The people and horses were in a mess, and

No one thought of controlling this narrow unflooded area along the Yingshui River to ensure that the east-west line was not cut off.

Of course, there may be people who think of it but don’t have the ability to do it.

After all, Chushan still has seven or eight thousand men and horses in Xihua City on the north bank of Yingshui River, and there are navy warships that can quickly recover.

In order to prevent Xu Huaihui from breaking out and escaping from the lower reaches of Yingshui River, they took the initiative to sink a large number of boats loaded with sand and gravel in the Yingshui River in Xiangcheng, Shenqiu and other places to block the river. This actually hindered their ability to maneuver Yingzhou.

The navy marched westward and fought a decisive battle with the Chushan navy on the Yingshui River, which was the biggest failure in opening up the connection between the north and the south.

This time means that before the rivers and Huaihe Rivers freeze and reinforcements arrive, their troops on the western front are completely trapped in the dilemma of working on their own.
