Chapter 311: The ship is in danger of running aground
"Master, does the slave look good in armor?" asked Xun Ying, who was wrapped in the entire armor and only showed two eyes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Two days ago, she was still envious of Yang Yunhua's armor, and now she wears a set, and there is no mirror to look at here, so she had to ask Ma Xiuying.
"Shut up, don't be silent if you don't want to be thrown off the boat. Ma Xiuying reprimanded angrily. In order not to be noticed, Yuan Xing found them two sets of fully armed armor, which were tightly wrapped from head to toe. This armor is already the smallest and lightest armor in the army, and it still crushes Ma Xiuying to the point that she is almost out of breath, she really doesn't understand what Xun Ying is excited about, if she is not afraid that the dress will be different, it will make people suspicious, she really wants to change into her light armor.
There was a sound of conversation on the stairs, Ma Xiuying quickly straightened her waist, her head lowered, as if she was saluting, but she was actually afraid of being noticed by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Everyone boarded the deck, and the leader was Zhu Yuanzhang, who looked up at the sky, the sky was clear, and he couldn't help frowning and asking, "Sir, are you sure you can get the wind today?"
Liu Ji's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the sky, "Guogong rest assured, his subordinates guarantee that the east wind will blow at dusk today." ”
Everyone had already seen Liu Ji's ability to summon wind and rain in Lulongshan, and they were convinced of it, admiring his unpredictable skills while discussing the combat deployment after the fire attack.
On the whole ship, only Ma Xiuying knew that the east wind was a natural phenomenon on the Yangtze River, but she still admired Liu Ji very much. This man is well versed in astronomy and geography, and can calculate when the wind will rise on the river surface by surveying the changes in the state of the earth and organisms, which is even more accurate than the weather forecast in his previous life.
In order to match the windy time, Zhu Yuanzhang and the soldiers deliberately waited until the afternoon to fight, and he personally led the sailors to attack. However, Chen Youliang's enemy ships were too big for the soldiers to get close at all, especially when there was no wind, and the range of the artillery was not ideal.
Seeing that their ships were frustrated one after another, with heavy casualties, everyone was distressed but helpless.
Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that Xu Da and others would make a mistake, so he sent a ship to support.
When everyone saw the ship, their spirits were greatly lifted, and they fought for the first killing.
Unexpectedly, the Han army avoided Xu Da and others and went to besiege Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw the enemy approaching, and hurriedly retreated while drumming the boat to supervise the battle, but who knew that because the rudder was too fast, the ship actually ran aground!
Chen Youliang's general Zhang Dingbian found that Zhu Yuanzhang was trapped by the river, and immediately led his fleet out of the camp of the Han army's naval divisions. Everyone thought that he was trying to take advantage of the victory to pursue the first few small boats, but Zhang Dingbian ignored the few small boats that were desperately trying to escape, and urged the fleet to rush directly to the place where Zhu Yuanzhang's ship ran aground. It turned out that he wanted to be the first person to capture the thief and capture the king first!
At this time, the attention of the soldiers on Zhu Yuanzhang's side was attracted by the battle between the two sides, and no one expected that Zhu Yuanzhang's ship would run aground, let alone that Zhang Dingbian would dare to take the commander of the Chinese army as if there was nothing in it.
Chang Yuchun was the first to react, and shouted: "Stop him! Stop him! Don't let him get close to Guogong!"
The stunned generals came back to their senses and immediately commanded their warships to block it.
However, Zhang Dingbian's giant ship did not dodge or dodge, and collided head-on.
The boats were crushed by tanks and shattered.
Seeing the countless soldiers on the other side falling into the water and struggling, Zhang Dingbian stood on the bow of the ship with a long sword in his hand and laughed, and ordered the battleship to speed up and go straight to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Dozens of his own ships did not stop the enemy ships, and the soldiers on Zhu Yuanzhang's ship couldn't help but panic, some simply jumped into the water to try to push the boats, some took up arms to resist desperately, and some persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang to find a way to escape quickly.
At this time, Ma Xiuying couldn't care about hiding her identity, took off her bulky armor, used the side of the ship as a cover, and aimed at the Han army who were trying to approach in vain with a firecracker.
Xun Ying even picked up a mast casually, picking out those Han soldiers who landed on the deck, which was simply accurate, and many enemies were stabbed into the water by her before they could stand firm.
The Han army fell one after another, but there were still many soldiers rushing forward without their lives, Zhang Dingyuan saw that the two women who killed and injured his subordinates the most, and couldn't help but be furious, "Capture those two girls for me!"
This loud shout attracted everyone's attention, and Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and angry when he saw Ma Xiuying appear on the boat, but at this moment, the two had no time to talk, so they could only go all out to fight.
The Han army in all directions trapped Zhu Yuanzhang's ships in the middle, and Zhang Dingbian's fleet was like a barrier separating Xu Da and the others.
Jiang Zuo's army was stunned and rushed in, but it was blocked by dense artillery, at least for a while, the people outside could not enter, and the people inside could not get out.
Zhu Yuanzhang slashed down a Han army with a knife, and hurriedly shouted taking advantage of the respite: "Protect Madame!"
"Protect the Guogong!" The same command also sounded in Ma Xiuying's mouth, and she moved closer to Zhu Yuanzhang while killing the enemy.
"Swear to defend the country to the death!" With an angry roar, another soldier was unfortunately killed by several arrows, and before that, Song Gui, Chen Zhaoxian and others were killed one after another.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers on the ship, a trace of despair appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's resolute face, "Is the sky going to kill me?"
"Guogong, don't give up, there are still many soldiers who are sacrificing their lives to resist, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun will come to the rescue soon, you will be fine!" Ma Xiuying wiped the blood from her face and panted, "You give me the robe and armor, I will attract the enemy, you quickly escape from the water." ”
"No!" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and refused without thinking about it, "How can I, Zhu Yuanzhang, rely on women to survive? You go first! If you can escape, remember to take care of the children." ”
Ma Xiuying was so anxious that she gritted her teeth and called her by her name, "Zhu Yuanzhang, now is not the time for you to be hypocritical, hurry up and get off the boat." ”
"If you don't go, I won't go. Zhu Yuanzhang stubbornly said: "If you are naïve and want to kill me, let me and you be a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate." ”
Ma Xiuying is angry and funny, every time she wants Zhu Yuanzhang to say something sweet, Zhu Yuanzhang always can't squeeze out a word for a long time, he is born at this crisis juncture, but he is in the mood to say it. Her heart was sour and sweet, and she patiently persuaded: "Brother Starling, don't argue with me, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the whole army, as well as our children...... They can live without me, but they can't live without you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated after hearing these words, and his eyes showed a burst of pain. But the sound of the enemy's attack is getting closer and closer, and there is no time left to think about it.
