Chapter 10: The Sinking of the Boat (II)

From the name ' The sea breeze blowing from one side of the Golden Mountain's side made this small fleet of boats traveling diagonally gain a speed superior to that of the opponent, and along the passage opened by Jiang Ning, they lined up in a single column, one after another from the waterway, and the continuous blows made the warships of the Goryeo people who were caught off guard in confusion, and several large ships full of cavalry on both sides of the waterway either toppled or crashed into the reef in a panic, and the sails of one of them were ignited by the fire, and the people on board had to jump down from both sides of the boat, and before the people and horses could open their eyes in the water, they sank into the icy waterใ€‚ Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Oh no, there's an enemy coming!"

"Who is it? How many came. "There is no need for those Koreans to report the news, Yu Wa has already seen the black smoke rising from the harbor, he was already leading the horse and preparing to board the boat, at this time he can only stop, look back roughly, there should be half of the people on land, that is to say, at this moment his other half of the people are not far away on the sea.

"Look at the flag, it's not the Song people, it's like the pirates in this area, there aren't many of their ships, but they are all fierce." This Korean naval army was originally to maintain the safety of the sea, and this group of pirates caused a lot of harm, and they almost caught up with them several times, so they are naturally not strangers.

"Then what are you waiting for, stop the Venerable Master, and hurry up and destroy them, where is your ship, I will go with you, and see how fierce they are."

Yuwa handed over the horse to his own soldiers, and led a few men to follow the warship of the Goryeo commander, but fortunately the ship was parked by the trestle, and when these men arrived, they began to set sail and turn around, and he himself ran to the highest point, and from there he looked into the distance, the land was too far away, and only in this way could he see what was happening at the bottom.

Right under his nose, a large ship that was very different from the board house ship under his feet was rushing straight forward, the fang-like angle of attack was raised high, the blade-like bow split the waves, and the rockets launched from both sides of the hull were dense and deadly, and the other side did not seem to react from the blow, at this moment, "Woo...... The horn sounded in his ears, his ship raised a tooth-side battle flag, and all the ships in the harbor received orders to try to form a formation according to the order, but the first thing they had to do was to turn the direction around.

The harbor was blocked by mountains, and the wind on the water was not as strong as that of the open sea, and in such a situation, it was not easy for the ships to imagine making any movement, although the sails had been raised to the top, and despite the efforts of the paddlemen at the bottom of the barn, they could only come slowly little by little, and the empty ships were like this, not to mention those that were already full of soldiers and horses, and the outer ones were all these things, and when they were finally about to cross the plane, but they blocked the ships inside, and the enemy's confusion was intensifying.

"Rush up and sink it!" Of course, Jiang Ning will not miss this opportunity, there are only so many of them in total, if they are one-on-one with the enemy, they can deal with fifty of them, and there are more than 300 in this harbor, once they are allowed to drive, the result is self-evident.

The target directly in front of him, the Mongol cavalry and the Goryeo navy who were crowded on the deck, could only watch the black iron horn get closer and closer, and they were so frightened that they couldn't even speak, until there was a "boom", and the side of the ship seemed to have been torn open by someone, and a strong force pressed against the hull, causing it to tilt over.

The aftermath did not stop, Jiang Ning's ship cut its hull like a scimitar, and pushed it involuntarily crashed into the warship that had been sided, under the simultaneous action of two strong forces, poor it was squeezed and deformed like a toy, and when Jiang Ning's ship left, the enemy ship had sunk with a full ship of cavalry, not only that, its sinking, but also blocked the enemy ships behind that wanted to sail out, which was Jiang Ning's goal of sinking it.

All the fleets that entered the harbor were scattered, they were all like Jiang Ning, they did not care about the few enemy ships that had broken away, but put the target on the large number of ships gathered together, they spread out into a semicircle with Jiang Ning's position as the center, focusing on hitting every enemy ship that tried to sail out, and after the opponent reacted, the counterattack followed, and the dense arrows came and went, and in an instant they were all over the harbor.

"Pitcher, fire bomb, quick." Jiang Ning's boat was retreating under the force of the pulp, this opportunity was too rare, he turned his head to avoid a feather arrow that shot diagonally, and urged again and again.

Hearing his command, the pitcher lowered the cantilever and put a ball on the spoon, lit it with a torch, and then adjusted the direction slightly, and made a gesture, and several wrestlers hurriedly pulled the rope behind the tail tip, and pulled it hard, and the wooden tip drove the rod and bounced the cantilever vigorously, and the fireball above drew a lone line and flew to the enemy ship in front.

Jiang Ning watched the trail of the fireball with a clairvoyant mirror, and as it fell, a burst of fire rose in the distance, and before he could be happy for a moment, the firelight suddenly disappeared again, replaced by a puff of black smoke, it was obvious that those enemies were well-trained and prepared, and he was not discouraged and gave the order to attack again.

As one after another fire bombs fell, the fire finally ignited on the enemy ships that were huddled in a heap, and the wind helped the fire to spread at once, and the wind direction at this time was towards the shore, so the fire also rushed to the shore like a red line, bringing all the ships on this line inside.

"Well played, change places, let's come again." Directly in front of him was blocked by a transverse shipwreck, the hull slowly receding and the bow deflecting to one side, a process that was as unfast as his opponent's, and in other directions, the intensity of the battle had reached a fever pitch.

Not everyone under his command had a standard Song-style warship, in fact, most of the ships were inferior to the Goryeo warships, and after surviving the initial panic, the Goryeo counterattack came very quickly, and the pirates lost the tactical means they relied on to survive, and could only use fierce fighting to delay time, and in many places fell into brutal broadside battles.

"Look, the old man's boat is burning." His subordinates' words shocked him, and Lao Shuitou was the Dengzhou man who first spoke out to him.

Following the direction pointed by his subordinates, Jiang Ning raised the clairvoyant mirror to look over, in the lens, several warships were entangled together, one after another Goryeo climbed along the side of the ship, there were fewer and fewer people on the boat at the old head of the water, and even he himself participated in the fight, and what made Jiang Ning strange was that the fire did not burn from the sails, but from the hull.

"Speed up, paddle through!"

At a glance, Jiang Ning understood that this fire was set by themselves, and they wanted to use their own sinking to block that exit, and by the way, slightly go up to the surrounding enemies.

His roar was carried to the bottom cabin by a copper pipe, and the pulpers below were all stripped off to only a backcoat, still sweating profusely in such a cold weather, and the instructions of the master made them tempo, and the heavy wood pulp was neatly raised and fell, and the hull of the ship was slowly accelerating, and when it approached there, the old water head and several enemy ships entangled together burned into a huge fireball, and even could not be saved.

"Fire bombs, shoot Lao Tzu!"

Under the anger, Jiang Ning roared loudly, although he was ready to sacrifice before coming in, but seeing so many of his men disappearing into the sea of fire, he still felt extremely sorry, and the trebuchet in the bow of the ship fired again and again, igniting the enemy ships in this direction one by one, and the fire was once again blown to the shore by the sea breeze, and even the grain piled on it was affected.

This situation and this scene made Yuwa on the big ship stunned, where is this like a robber who robs a house, so fierce and not afraid of death, not at all to rob property, but to prevent his crossing of the sea, needless to say, even if these people are not Song people, they also have a close relationship with the Song people, those cavalry who fell into the sea and struggled desperately made his heart like a knife, but there was nothing to do, the boat was gone, the left and right were Goryeo, but these cavalry troops, not even a battle, just folded here in vain, he was so willing.

"Quick, rush up and stop them."

At this time, he didn't care that he was not the commander of the navy, the strange Mongolian language made the Goryeo people on the ship look at each other, and the Goryeo commander who understood was more anxious than him, whether it was the ship or the food, the loss would fall on his head at that time, he had no choice but to signal again, strictly order the ships to speed up their movements, try to avoid being affected by the fire, and at the same time, urge those ships that have broken away to intercept those pirates with all their might.

Now, on the entire battlefield, Jiang Ning relied on the flexibility of speed, and did not mean to entangle with the enemy, but set fire everywhere, and his men guarded one place, trying their best to block the way of the enemy ships, but their blockade line only lasted for a short time, and there were more and more places broken through by the enemy ships, of course, this also means that in every place that was broken through, there was a ship of its own that disappeared.

Slowly, the numerical superiority of the Koreans began to play a role, and more and more enemy ships left the area affected by the fire, which in turn surrounded them. As the battle progressed, Jiang Ning's ship was killed and wounded, and the amount of fire oil was also rapidly decreasing, as the leader of the fleet, his ship was of course the enemy's key object of care, wave after wave of attacks came like a tide, Jiang Ning's body was already wounded in many places, but he didn't even have the time to bandage it.

The arrows ran out, the stone bullets, and the crossbow guns ran out, and in the face of the enemies who jumped up, the battle turned into a fierce hand-to-hand combat, and the space they could maneuver around became less and less, and when the hull of the ship could not move no matter what, Jiang Ning knew in his heart that the last moment had come.

The clairvoyant mirror and the microphone were thrown into the sea by him, surrounded by overlapping shadows, I don't know how many of them locked his boat firmly, and the veteran soldier with the armor, the sail, and the paddle hand were fighting to the death with the enemy, but the enemy seemed to be inexhaustible, jumping up more and more, his men were beaten back step by step, and the number was rapidly decreasing, and one by one fell before his eyes.

The old soldier shouted, stabbed a Korean man over, and when he reached out to pull the knife, the long knife that had been curled was firmly embedded in the body of the deceased, and could not be pulled out, at the same time, several fork guns were stabbed into his body, he had to abandon the knife and retreat, his back did not know whether it hit the wall or what, and he couldn't move at once, and the tip of the gun that flashed with cold light had already arrived in front of him, just when he thought he was going to die, his body was pulled, and a tall black shadow blocked the position in front of him.

With a "bell", several fork guns were knocked off by a black thing, the veteran looked at it intently, the big stone grinned at him, and held two huge ballast stones in both hands, the veteran picked up a knife from the ground, and the two of them were back to back, resisting the enemies coming from all directions, such a situation was everywhere on the deck, and no one knew how long they could hold on.

Yuwa lost a long knife, jumped from a big boat, saw the scene in front of him, turned his head and ordered the back: "Release the arrow." , heard that the Korean commander who came with him was shocked.

"There's still my man here......" But before he could finish his sentence, the knife was across his neck.

"I said release the arrow!"

His order was passed down, and the archers behind had to point their arrows at all the people on the deck, including the enemy and their own brethren, and after a burst of indiscriminate fire, most of the people on the deck fell, and Yuwa waved his hand without saying a word, and another rain of arrows was fired, and after several rounds in a row, there was no one standing on the deck.

Jiang Ning was hit by three arrows in his body, one in the chest, one in the shoulder, and one in the arm, his long knife fell on the deck, and it was meaningless to pick it up or not, the strange thing was that the enemy suddenly stopped shooting arrows, and a tall man with colored eyes said something.

"This man, I want to live."

Without waiting for the Koreans to make a move, he struggled to his feet, and stumbled to the helm platform, the helmsman, like him, fell to the wooden wheel with several arrows in his body, and the deck below was densely covered with corpses, and his eyes swept over the familiar brethren one by one, and quickly took out a windproof lighter from his bosom, found a barrel under the helm, and lit a lead that protruded from the mouth of the barrel.

Jiang Ning struggled to knock the barrel down, blocking the stairs leading to the helm platform, he walked over and kicked the barrel, and the barrel rolled down the ladder with a "clatter", knocking down several Koreans who wanted to rush up, and then crushing over them.

"It's gunpowder!"

Yuwa lost his eyes and saw that the wooden barrel rolled onto the deck, or the Korean leader behind him, and suddenly saw the rapidly burning lead on it, and a shout pounced on him, at this moment, the lead on the wooden barrel had burned to the end, and there was an earth-shattering loud noise, the shock wave shook all the people standing on the deck away, and the powerful power broke Jiang Ning's ship into two, and the surrounding Koreans were also affected, and a huge hole appeared in the hull of almost every boat, Immediately, the sea rushed in.

Jiang Ning fell behind the helm platform the moment the barrel rolled down, and when the explosion passed, he climbed up on the platform and smiled with satisfaction, the second half of the lost predecessor was tilting towards the sea, he sat down with his back against the platform wall, and at the last moment of his life, he somehow remembered a melody in his heart, the complete lyrics were no longer remembered, only a few lines had been lingering in his mind, just like the beautiful voice in his heart, not going for a long time.

"Why is the battle flag so picturesque, and the blood of heroes dyes it red?"

"Why is spring always on the earth, and the lives of heroes bloom with flowers."

The corners of his mouth unconsciously hummed, and the tall stern of the ship, along with the terrifying flag, slowly sank into the water.

All this was in the eyes of several spies on the top of the Golden Mountain, there were less than fifty enemy ships intact in the harbor, the enemy not only lost most of the sailors, even the cavalry who had already boarded the ships did not know how many would survive, once they entered the water, they sank faster than ordinary people, and as far as the eye could see, the entire harbor was full of all kinds of wreckage, and the raging fire lit up the sky, and the huge explosion seemed to make a footnote to this battle, and also heralded its end.

"Let's go."

Knowing the result, they no longer stay, and the news must be sent out immediately, so as not to live up to what these people have done.

I don't know how long it took, the night slowly sank, a seemingly unmanned, floating on the sea, a small figure sat up, she looked around blankly, her eyes fixed on the bright red light in the distance, stunned for a while, she got up from the bottom of the boat, and shook the pair of pairs hard, the boat was shaken by her, and staggered in that direction.

Across the strait in Shandong, a famous mountain near the city of Jinan, at the foot of Mount Tai, which is known as "Dongyue", is also engaged in a nearly one-sided battle, the last soldier and horse of the Yuan people in Shandong, the 3,000 Tanma Red Army led by Ye Sutar, was led here by the pheasant slave they falsely passed the military order, and waiting for the other party, is as many as 25,000 Han troops, and more than 10,000 new troops, the source of this army is those porters who were forcibly recruited into the grain team by the Yuan people.

In this way, the Pheasant Slave mainly wants to let those porters who have been in the army for less than a month experience on the real battlefield, so that they can see that even if it is a cavalry army that the Tartars are proud of, it is still not an invincible myth.

Of course, it was Qi Baozhu's people who solved the problem directly, under the blows of bows and arrows and crossbows, these cornered Mongols quickly collapsed, except for a very few who were unwilling to surrender and were shot to death, the rest of the Mongol cavalry obediently raised their hands, for them, surviving may be redeemed, and laying down their arms is not an unacceptable shame.

"Pick someone immediately, we also have our own cavalry, Lao Qi, this matter is up to you."

After the battle, the first thing that came to the thought of the pheasant slave was that the horses they had obtained had survived more than humans, at least a thousand, and it would come in handy for her.

"Xuan Shuai, just look at it, the last general will definitely bring out a useful cavalry army for you." Such a good thing, of course Qi Baozhu didn't have the mouth to respond, for his title, the pheasant slave was stunned for a moment before he understood, but this handsome doesn't seem to be as good as his sister.

"The enemy situation around Jinan City has been figured out, right?"

"Well, in the past, Hejian Road was not as easy to fool as Shandong, and there was not a single state and county that looked down on the wind, but I heard that those big households are recruiting people and forming a village to base up, should we fight over?"

This result is expected, it is already very close to the capital, it is impossible for the Yuan people to not move, and then fight to take a few states and counties? The pheasant shook her head, denying such an idea.

"Don't move your people, sit in Jinan City, and let the new army practice their hands, but the spies still have to be sent, and the soldiers and horses of the Yuan people may come here."

Hearing that he didn't let them move, Qi Baozhu still had some regrets, those stockades were actually not very difficult, but there were really a lot of belongings inside, such a good opportunity was given to a group of newcomers, it was really a pity, but thinking about the pheasant slave's words, it did make sense, the most important thing now is not to expand the territory, but to deal with the encirclement and suppression that the enemy may come at any time, after all, they only have so many people, and they can't hold such a large territory.

Back in Jinan City, she unexpectedly received a message from Yidu at her residence, the news had just arrived, and the face of the pro-soldier who came to deliver the news was not very good, which made her feel a little nervous, maybe it was about the Yuanren reinforcements.

Took the note from the hands of the soldiers, it was written that it was indeed the enemy's movements, when they saw that they planned to cross the sea through the lion's mouth, this nervousness turned into surprise, except for the bandits in Dengzhou, there was no army, and this blow of the Yuan people happened to be her weakness.

"Did Mr. Zheng receive this?"

The soldier shook his head and nodded, pointed to the bottom and said, "There is another one." โ€

Only then did the pheasant slave find that she was holding two pieces of paper in her hand, just rolled together, it was difficult to distinguish clearly for a while, she took the top one, the lower one was obviously a lot more words, and the handwriting was also very small, and it was necessary to make up some to see clearly, the pheasant slave read the words above, her eyes slowly coagulated, and the blood faded from her face, showing a yellowish paleness.

"I see."

She said something casually, then she left the people outside and turned into the room, closed the door, she went to the bed, took out a piece of paper from under the pillow, looked at the words on it, and then looked at the note in her hand, and the pheasant slave suddenly became so fierce that he tore them all to pieces.

"Jiang Ning, you fool." She threw the shards into the air.

Among the snowflakes of paper, she looked at it in a daze and roared angrily.

"Fool!"

Tears poured out of those big eyes and filled their cheeks.
