Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 42: Attack the water village

"There are four wooden arrow towers in total. The water village is surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side. If you want to exterminate this group of water bandits, you must have boats."

The sailors who were scouting on the sentry ship came back to report to Chutian.

Chutian summoned 210 professional soldiers, 100 village warriors, and 8 sailors to the water village and found that the water village was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Xiazhen has only one sentry ship, which can release several soldiers at a time. Such a fuel-filling tactic will be consumed by the water bandits.

"To attract them ashore, we will ambush the archers on the shore. Once the other side comes ashore, the ambush archers will release their arrows, and the cavalry will go up to harvest and capture the other side's ships."

Chutian arranged for sentry ships to lure the enemy.

"Lord, let me lead the team."

Liu Sandao volunteered.

"You take three archers to lure the enemy."

"Yes!"

Liu Sandao selected three high-level Xuzhou archers, and then took the sentry boat to leave.

Other soldiers lie in ambush in the woods on the shore.

Water villages are a big hazard to Xia Town, which relies on the Yi River. No one knows when these water bandits will join forces to attack surrounding villages and towns. The safest way is to exterminate them.

The location of the water village is typically easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to conquer the water village. But this also means that if the water village can be occupied, then it can become the camp of the Xia Town navy in the future without occupying the dock of Xia Town.

This is a step in the separation of the soldiers and people of Xiazhen.

Liu Sandao's sentry ship appeared on the outskirts of the water village. After the two water bandits' wooden ships found the sentry ship, they quickly came to chase.

Liu Sandao, holding a longbow, stood at the stern of the boat and fired several arrows one after another, killing a water bandit.

He is a retired military marquis of the Han army after all, and his personal skills are not too bad.

The water bandits also shot arrows towards Liu Sandao, and a dozen arrows flew over the water.

The sentry boat is extremely flexible, with eight sailors paddling at the same time, like a sharp arrow on the water, quickly fleeing towards the shore.

The pirate ship is equally agile and eager to pursue.

"My lord, General Liu successfully lured the water bandits over!"

"Ready for battle!"

Chu Tian took down a longbow. Although his force was not high, it still hurt a little.

Xia Town's sentry ship docked, Liu Sandao and the others abandoned the ship and left. A group of water bandits snatched Xia Town's sentry ship, and another group of water bandits were still fighting against Liu Sandao.

Suddenly, the arrows of the ambush soldiers on the shore fired in unison, and dozens of arrows shot out, covering a group of water bandits!

The arrows sank into their bodies, and several water bandits were shot dead on the spot!

Those who attacked them were Tier 3 arms, excellent archers from Xuzhou.

"No, I've been fooled! Brothers, retreat!"

When the water bandits saw an ambush, they immediately reacted and wanted to escape.

The longbow was tensed in Mulan's hands, and silver-level weapons seemed to be unable to withstand such a high force, and had a tendency to break.

The arrow was like a shooting star, and the small leader of the water bandit on the boat fell in response.

The water bandits who lost the command of the little leader fell into a panic, and the sound of horse hooves on the shore was their reminder.

The light cavalry quickly came to the shore, dismounted and killed the pirate ship!

Liu Sandao took the opportunity to counterattack and try to keep the pirate ship behind before it escapes!

Shooting and killing the water bandits is the second priority, and grabbing the boat and attacking the water village is the key point.

Hua Mulan used the high-level skill "hundred steps to penetrate Yang", which was bestowed by Chutian, to continuously shoot and kill water bandits, basically one water bandit with one arrow.

However, even generals have physical limitations, and their arms will be sore and numb after shooting arrows one after another.

Soon nearly twenty water bandits were killed in the two pirate ships, and several bandits jumped into the river and escaped.

Two pirate ships were captured. The boats used by the water bandits are almost the same as the sentry boats in Xia Village. They are fast and flexible in inland rivers, but without parapets, thick decks, and crossbows, they are not considered warships.

Now Chutian has three sentry ships, which can carry about thirty soldiers and sailors.

In other words, a water village must be conquered with thirty soldiers and sailors.

The difficulty is a bit high, but not necessarily impossible.

There is a Hua Mulan on Chutian's side who has the skill of "One Hundred Steps Through Yang". As long as this skill is used well, Hua Mulan can clear the water bandits one by one.

There is also a Liu Sandao who specializes in bows and arrows.

Xuzhou archers can't use their full strength when fighting on the water, and they can barely use it.

Melee combat is also a problem after getting close to the water village.

If all the archers are used, then after successfully attacking the water village, the archers can only be forced to melee.

When an archer draws a sword, he can of course use it as an ordinary infantryman, but his stats will drop.

"It should be fine for archers to be warriors, but the morale of the water bandits is estimated to have fallen to the bottom after they invaded the water village."

Chutian not only has to consider the type of troops and terrain, but also the changes in morale.

The water village is the home of the water bandits. Once he is attacked into the water village, the morale of the water bandits will be greatly reduced. Even melee archers should be able to deal with them.

So Chutian selected twenty Xuzhou archers, eight sailors, Hua Mulan, Liu Sandao and himself, a total of 31 people, to attack the water village.

Hua Mulan was a little worried: "Please stay here, my lord, we will report back after we destroy the water village."

"I will direct this battle myself."

Chu Tian overwhelmed a king-level general and a gold-level general at a time. He was not worried about this battle and had to play in person. At the same time, he is also going through brutal battles.

There's no way to understand what's going on on the front lines without being there. Anyone can talk about soldiers on paper. As a lord, unless you are a monarch who often fights like Cao Cao, Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin, etc., it is not good to personally intervene in the battle~IndoMTL.com~ For example, Qin Shihuang simply temporarily delegated the military power to Wang Jian and ordered him to command 600,000 The Qin army destroyed the state of Chu.

But Chu Tian is a self-made lord. Without Qin Shi Huang's accumulation, he would not be able to work hard for the sixth generation, and he would not be able to make his way to the imperial palace.

All in all, a lord who doesn't want to be a commander is not a good entrepreneur.

The three sentry ships were ready. Chutian, Hua Mulan, and Liu Sandao each commanded a sentry ship and quickly approached the water village.

The water village is dominated by wooden houses, dozens of wooden houses are connected to form a stockade, and four wooden arrow towers stand.

The biggest threat to sentry ships is the three-meter-high wooden arrow tower.

The water village is originally higher than the water surface, and the height of the wooden arrow tower reaches four meters, which is condescending.

Two water bandit archers stand guard on each of the wooden arrow towers.

Hua Mulan's sentry ship took the lead in attacking. Sailors and archers who were not very skilled in rowing rowed their oars desperately, using the flexibility of the sentry ship to avoid the attack of the wooden arrow tower.

Hua Mulan stood alone at the bow of the boat, with a bow full of strings, and directly shot a water bandit archer on a wooden arrow tower!

The second arrow missed and was nailed to the plank of the wooden arrow tower, spattering sawdust.

When the remaining water bandit archers secretly rejoiced, the third arrow hit his chest, and the commoner water bandit archer was killed on the spot.

A wooden arrow tower temporarily lost its ability to attack.

The other wooden arrow towers reacted and used bows and arrows to attack the incoming boats, shooting against the Xuzhou archers on the boats.

The threat of the wooden arrow tower is still very high, and a Xiazhen sailor and a Xuzhou archer were shot and killed.

The water bandits in the entire water village were shocked because they were attacked, and dozens of ferocious water bandits poured out.

Chu Tian's scalp was numb as he watched from the warship. How many water bandits were there in this water village?
