Chapter 638
Do you still fight?
Of course they will still fight, no matter whether it is Yuan Shu or Yuan Huan, they will naturally not stop there.

So when Yuan Huan arranged for all the generals to return to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu asked, "Qing Yao, how are we going to attack Pengcheng next? Do we still have a chance?"

When Yuan Shu asked this question, his tone was very calm, as if General Ji Ling did not die in battle.

Apparently he had grieved as much as he should have grieved.

Yuan Huan thought for a while and said: "My lord, we still have a chance, but we must make a long-term plan to attack the fortress. Although we lost a lot of soldiers today, the morale has dropped, but the advantages we accumulated in the early stage are still there. They are still at an advantage in Xuzhou.

I have calculated that the Qingzhou army will not go south for a while, and Wang Xiu only has so many troops, and Li Jinmeng is fierce. Today we are a little impatient, so we ignore the trebuchet in Qingzhou, and let Li Jinmeng In and out of the city.

Next time we are prepared, if Li Ruogan is leaving the city, we can definitely keep him.

So the opportunity is still there, it just needs some adjustments. "

"Okay! I'll do it if I have a chance! I'll wait. Tonight, I'm going to set up a sacrifice for Ji Ling to appease our soldiers." Yuan Shu hesitated for a while and finally made this decision.

Ji Ling is dead, but let him use some of his residual heat and use his residual value.

The mourning army will win!
Ji Ling's death might not be able to inspire the army, might not be used to boost momentum.

The question is only how to use it.

The sacrificial hall was quickly completed, Yuan Shu set up a sacrifice for Ji Ling in the army, but he did not come out to preside over the overall situation, but asked Yuan Huan to replace him.

After all, he is the king and Ji Ling is the minister.

Although Ji Ling is his confidant, it is impossible to let him go off in person in order to handle the matter, as it will greatly reduce the face of the Yuan family.

Yuan Huan and others did not force Yuan Shu either.

Instead, they made full use of Ji Ling's death to motivate the generals and soldiers, and announced Yuan Shu's incentive policy on the spot.

Who can kill Li Jin, the soldier officer will be promoted to six ranks, and generals with more than [-] troops can take over Ji Ling's position.

Of course, no matter who killed Li Jin or attacked the city, he would be rewarded heavily.

This time Yuan Shu offered a huge reward temptation.

In order to match the atmosphere, he also rewarded the army in advance, and brought out good wine and meat to let the soldiers feel the joy of victory and hope for a better future in advance.

"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge for the General!"

After drinking some wine, Yuan Shu's army vented all the negative emotions caused by the loss of soldiers during the day.

His mind was full of being promoted to the sixth rank, of taking over Ji Ji's position, becoming the chief general of the Yuzhou Army, becoming a master, becoming the most powerful person under Yuan Shu and Yuan Huan.

In the city, Yuan Shu labored the army, and in the city, Wang Xiu also gave extra meals to all the soldiers, which was also an encouragement to all the troops and generals.

"Uncle Zhi, although we won today, Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling also died in battle. Look at Yuan Jun's camp, which is brightly lit and loudly shouted. It seems that the other party is also taking advantage of the opportunity of the dead general to motivate the soldiers. Tomorrow's battle I'm afraid the battle will become more intense." Zhang Zhao said worriedly.

Although today's victory opened his eyes, he was still not optimistic and did not bring him much sense of security.

Yuan Shu had too many troops, but too few soldiers defending the city.

The contrast is huge.

"Tomorrow's battle may be fierce, but it won't be in Ximen, and Yuan Shu won't throw all his troops in at once, but even if he changes the target, he won't succeed." Wang Xiu said confidently.

He knew exactly what Yuan Huan wanted to do.

The two have played against each other for a month, and they haven't met each other, but they are getting to know each other more and more.

The opponent is like this.

Zhang Zhao sounded like Dong Feidong, but he didn't ask.

It was dawn the next day.

Yuan Shu's army divided into three groups, one group crossed the Jishui River from the left side of Pengcheng to the north bank.

All the way across the Sishui River from the right to the north bank.

Then find a place with relatively shallow water, and prepare to build a pontoon bridge on the Sishui river section north of Pengcheng. The water piles are used to completely seal off the three river sections in the east, west, and north of Pengcheng, and firmly fix the prevention of the navy's activities in Pengcheng. The area around the North Gate Wharf.

"Yuan Shu is trying to deal with me." Zhou Tai already felt itchy, if Wang Xiu hadn't been telling him not to go ashore to fight with the navy, he would have wanted to take the navy to the west gate to join the battle.

Seeing that Yuan Shu wanted to block off the waterway of his North Sishui River, he immediately got angry and commanded all the ships to make Li Dock follow the Sishui River to the north to the place where Yuan Jun built the pontoon bridge.

The two pontoon bridges in Pengcheng, one on the left and one on the right, were deliberately set up by Wang Xiu for Yuan Jun to let Yuan Shu feel at ease and boldly attack Ximen head-on.

So last night he guessed that what Yuan Huan really wanted to fight next was Qingzhou's navy, so he also ordered Zhou Tai in advance.

Zhou Tai, who had already ordered him, would naturally not be polite, and killed the past with battleships and warships.

Yuan Jun on both sides of the strait also had a premeditated plan. The archers were transferred to the river and shot arrows into the river together.

"Small meaning, tree the scarecrow, take Yuan Jun's arrows for me."

Following Zhou Tai's order, the sailors placed the scarecrows that had been prepared earlier on the two wings of the deck.

Immediately, countless arrows were shot on the water, and many arrows were powerful enough to directly hit the scarecrow.

Yuan Jun, who saw no effect after shooting countless waves, had no choice but to stop shooting arrows and stop wasting arrows.

"Come on, bring out our bed crossbows, Yuan Shu's men stopped shooting, now it's our turn to shoot."

Zhou Tai gave another order, and a bed crossbow was pushed out from the hidden weapon hole.

After loading, after a loud noise, the sharp crossbow shot into Yuan Jun by the river.

Yuan Jun was so frightened that he ran away one after another.

Seeing Yuan Jun retreat after shooting a few waves, Zhou Tai ordered the bed crossbow to be adjusted to the bow, ready to shoot and charge Yuan Jun who was erecting the pontoon bridge.

However, Yuan Jun dared to build a bridge and was prepared.

One by one, they were paddled with small boats placed on both sides of the river, and then loaded with thatch, which was splashed with oil.

After being ignited, the raging flame leans upwards and forwards.

Countless small boats drifted downstream under artificial control.

"How can a small boat stop me? Come and form a one-two-three formation. The iron-clad warships are divided into the front and two sides, and the other occupying ships are concentrated in the middle."

Don't say that the opponent doesn't have a navy, even if there is, Zhou Tai is not afraid.

As Zhou Tai's order flag was sent to each ship, the warship with the iron sheet on the bow soon moved to the two wings.

Then the captains of the two wings gave an order.

"Put down the iron chain plate, and prepare the armor-piercing arrows and poles..."

There was the sound of iron objects colliding, and the crew members pushed out the chain armor protection made of small iron pieces rolled into a ball on the deck.

Immediately, the iron chain armor hit the wooden board, making a dull impact sound.

These iron chain armors are not generally used, unless there is a battle, they will be pushed down to protect the two wings of the ship.

Because there is no waterproof paint in Xuding, especially anti-rust paint that is resistant to salt and alkali corrosion, so the wings of general warships are not covered with iron sheets.

Especially the navy, because the iron sheet is too easy to corrode under the soaking in the sea.

That's why I came up with this kind of countermeasure, which is to comprehensively improve the combat effectiveness and save the cost of the city.

After all, the frequent maintenance of the small part of the iron sheet on the bow can be afforded in the navy's expenses.

It is too expensive to replace a large area on the side of the two wings.

In the case that the navy and navy have no strong enemies, it is obviously not cost-effective to use fixed ones.

Not much nonsense, I saw that those small boats were either smashed and crushed by the bow and then drowned by the river water.

Then he was pushed away by the crew with poles.

It is also because of the protection of the iron plate that it can't be pushed away from time to time, and the high-temperature flames cannot focus on the ship's plank, so the warship will naturally be in peace.

The warship easily broke through the enemy's fire boat array, and then reached the pontoon bridge.

"Fire arrows!"

The bed crossbows at each bow started their performance again, shooting towards Yuan Jun on the pontoon bridge.

Immediately, countless Yuan Jun fell into the water, and the unreliable pontoon bridge was also shot off ropes or cracked planks.

What made Yuan Jun complain the most was that Zhou Tai's water army rushed over and broke the pontoon bridge directly. It shook violently and lost its level, countless Yuan Jun fell into the water.

The water was dominated by Zhou Tai and others. The officers and soldiers on the boat asked them to take out their bows and crossbows to shoot at the enemy soldiers who fell into the water, or they took out their short knives and stabbed the enemy soldiers into the water.

Yin Hong's blood soaked a large area of ​​water at once.
