The night wind on the river will be colder.
To prevent the soldiers from catching a cold,
The ship was equipped with many blankets to keep out the wind.
Although Zhao Yuan and his companions were strong and healthy,
But they didn't dare let the wind blow on them for too long.
Chapter 1876 Defensive Sentry Posts
While everyone was taking a nap in the cabin,
The sentry at the bow of the ship came in to report: "Your Majesty, the stronghold of Geta is approaching."
Zhao Yuan walked to the bow of the boat.
Then a row of lights appeared on the riverbank ahead.
These were clearly torches stuck in the city wall.
It stands out in the dim canyon.
"Dock."
At Zhao Yuan's command,
Li Jun, the "River Dragon" who personally rowed the boat,
They then slowly moved the boat toward the riverbank.
This time, the fleet's navy consisted of Li Jun, the River Dragon; Tong Wei, the Cave Dragon; and Tong Meng, the River Mirage.
Led by eight men: Zhang Heng the Boat Fire, Zhang Shun the White Streak in the Waves, Ruan Xiao'er the Standing Tyrant, Ruan Xiao'wu the Short-Lived Second Brother, and Ruan Xiao'qi the Living Yama.
Liu Menglong was the only remaining naval commander in charge of domestic grain and fodder transportation.
The commotion of a large army gathering outside the camp naturally did not escape the notice of the guards at Geta Village.
Rockets rained down from the city walls.
The bullets burned in the open ground.
Dispel the darkness in front of the village,
This prevented the Liang army from getting close.
When Shang Yikou was attacked,
As usual, the rear guard, Geta Village, was notified.
The garrison commander of Geta Village dared not be negligent.
They immediately strengthened their defenses.
Zhao Yuan, however, decided to repeat his old trick.
However, there were more participants this time.
Eight centurions, including Zhang Qing, Li Kui, Ou Peng, Ma Lin, Tao Zongwang, Jiao Ting, Xiang Chong, and Li Gun, also came to join in the fun.
Li Kui's thousand-strong squad of card players always came first in every battle.
He has made many contributions.
Jiao Ting, Xiang Chong, and Li Gun have all been promoted to commanders of a thousand men.
However, he remained Li Kui's deputy.
Although the rocket illuminated the area in front of the village,
However, this also revealed the archers' shooting range.
Zhao Yuan walked a few steps away from the rocket.
Ignite the fire and thunder,
He then threw it towards the stockade wall.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
There was a loud noise,
The firelight flickered,
The screams continued.
Many of the torches on the stockade wall were blown away.
The light on the stockade wall had dimmed considerably.
"Fire arrows!"
Archers outside the blast radius also fired their arrows in fear.
Wanting to drive away fear.
Zhao Yuan threw three in a row.
Chaos broke out on the city wall.
Most people panicked.
You never know where an explosion might suddenly occur.
Who would still want to stay on the city wall and shoot arrows?
Han Shizhong and the others took the opportunity to run forward a few steps.
He threw the fire grenade in his hand.
After a series of explosions,
No more arrows were shot down from the city wall.
"The team leader steps forward."
Li Kui, however, became addicted to the game.
Holding a tinderbox in one hand,
Holding a fire bomb in one hand,
They were throwing things in as they ran.
The last one was even thrown directly onto the gate of the village.
"boom!"
The fireball struck the gate and bounced more than ten feet away before exploding.
The players who were charging forward were startled.
"Bah!"
Li Kui, who was leading the way, was closest to the explosion site.
I ate a mouthful of dirt.
But they were not afraid at all.
With the wind beneath their feet,
They quickly reached the gate of the stockade.
They swung their axes fiercely at the gate of the village.
Li Kui's axe was swift and effective at cutting people.
However, it was far less effective at splitting down the gate of the stronghold.
Although Li Kui never managed to break open the city gate even once,
But the fierce and unruly Li Kui never tired of it.
Once they reach the city walls...
They will inevitably hack and slash at the city gate.
The gate of Geta Village was still opened by ramming it with a battering ram.
Once the city gates opened,
Zhao Yuan then caught a glimpse of more than a dozen warhorses charging out from inside.
If the current player in the group is hit by a galloping horse,
Even if they don't die, they'll be seriously injured.
"Get out of the way."
Zhao Yuan shouted,
Push past the players in front and rush forward.
"boom!"
The next horse was kicked in the neck from the side by Zhao Yuan.
It neighed mournfully and crashed sideways into the warhorse behind it.
The warhorses behind were hit by this collision.
He also fell to the ground, slumped over.
"drink!"
Li Kui remained calm.
He threw down the axe in his hand.
With a twist of the arm,
He then threw a charging warhorse to the ground.
The charging warhorses instantly collided in a heap.
Block the gate of the village.
Not a single horse charged out.
Once the players get rid of these warhorses,
Upon entering Geta Village
All the Western Xia people who could run in the village had vanished.
All that's left is the bald guy who's injured and can't run away.
Warhorses could be seen charging wildly throughout the village.
It's unclear whether the Western Xia people failed to properly restrain their warhorses.
Or perhaps they deliberately released their warhorses to block the pursuers.
Many wounded Western Xia soldiers were knocked down by their warhorses.
They were trampled to death.
Zhao Yuan waited outside the camp for a while.
The warhorses inside the stockade calmed down.
Only then did he lead his men into the village.
By this time, it was completely dark.
Many of the torches on the city wall were blown away.
It also ignited two fires.
"Tao Zongwang, your unit puts out the fire."
