Chapter 823: Coming
Chapter 823 comes
Evil is evil and poison is leaving these seventy or eighty ships, this is not an idea that Liu Ji, a Geng Zhi uncle, and Mu Yi's Geng Zhi boy can come up with, this is a trick of the fake monk Liu Shiheng.
Similar to the siege of the city, these seventy or eighty ferries triggered the internal robbery of the Jiaozhi army, and the chaos brought by it could not be suppressed even by Li Changjie.
What was supposed to be a planned retreat turned into a disaster.
When Li Changjie boarded the boat, countless Jiaozhi sergeants cried and cried and climbed the boat gang, almost sinking Li Changjie's boat.
The guards drew their knives and slashed wildly, leaving a cabin of fingers.
Dozens of ferries could only cross a few thousand people, plus some people who knew how to swim and escape after abandoning their swords and guns, and the remaining 30,000 people were killed by the Song army's iron cavalry along the river, and countless sergeants were squeezed into the Fuliang River and drowned alive.
Wei Shou'an, the head of the Fuliang River Naval Division, looked at the corpses of men and horses floating downstream, the wooden planks of the broken boat, and before he had time to be frightened, he was caught up by Li Xian's fleet.
Immediately after, the Guangnan sailors who followed with Bin and Yang also followed and killed.
Forced into desperation, Wei Shouan had no choice but to lead the fleet to flee into the White Crane Swing.
The ballistas that Xiao Gao Xiangye worked so hard to make finally played a role, but those water-soaked pottery bombs made Li Xian on the Zhiyuan almost laugh.
His laughter does not mean that Wei Shouan can also laugh, and with no way to advance or retreat, Wei Shouan had no choice but to surrender.
The battle situation between Song and Yue, in a blink of an eye, has undergone subversive changes!
It's a pity that a sudden spring thunder and new rain temporarily interrupted the Song army's pursuit of victory, and gave Li Changjie a chance to breathe.
……
Outside Thang Long Mansion, in the dark night, crackling gunshots and explosions suddenly rang out in several important places.
Su You rolled over from the hammock and came to the command room of the shipbuilding: "Di Yong, have they arrived?" ”
Sun Neng nodded: "It should be that Brother Di has arrived." ”
Su You said: "Inform Ning Yuan, implement the second plan, and defeat their resistance!" Send the signal and let Di Yong strengthen his attack! ”
Sun Neng Lizheng: "Yes! ”
Su You put on an oilcloth cloak and came to the bridge, and the Ningyuan ship on the side roared again.
Immediately after, a huge earthquake beneath his feet began.
This time the shells were different from the previous ones, and soon a fire ignited on the distant land.
However, the first round of firing still deviated from Thang Long City and landed on the outskirts of the eastern part of the city, which Su You knew was caused by the ship's deviation.
Fortunately, the firelight on the outskirts of the city had already revealed the outline of Thang Long City, and the two ships quickly adjusted their gun muzzles, and the second round of fire was much more accurate.
Bright yellow flowers burst out of the walls, turning dark red in an instant, and then changing shape, some flames flowing, some flames soaring.
Incendiary bombs.
In the third round of firing, Sun Neng ordered the charge to be adjusted, and most of the shells in this round fell into the city.
The explosions behind the city wall again and again outlined the outline of the city wall again and again, and gradually, the red light behind the city wall became brighter and brighter, outlining a bright horizontal line between the city wall and the distant mountains.
Thang Long City, on fire.
The raindrops fell on the rain hat of Su You's oil cloth cloak, and Su You's eyes fell on Thang Long City, which was burning in the heavy rain in the distance.
The gunfire outside Thang Long City stopped, and it is estimated that the fire made the defenders outside the city no longer have the will to fight, and they either retreated or surrendered.
Soon, the eyes of the viewer left the eyepiece of the theodolite, and excitedly shouted to Su You: "Yu Shaobao!" The Yijin army sent a light signal, and the high-ranking place in the east of the city has been seized by our department! Now prepare to break through and occupy the high ground west of the city, and ask the two ships to stop firing! ”
"Good!" Su You slapped the railing: "Tell them: carry forward the will of the new army, fight a key battle, and wish the military luck to be prosperous." Great Song, Wan Sheng! ”
"Yes!" Chao Buzhi faithfully recorded the order, ran two steps and stopped and turned around, one stood upright, beat his chest with his right hand, and couldn't hide the excited look on his face: "Shao Bao Wuyun is prosperous!" Great Song, Wan Sheng! ”
Su You also beat his chest with his right hand: "Da Song, Wan Sheng!" ”
It was destined to be a sleepless night, and in the distance, outside Thang Long City, the sound of gunfire and thunder-shaking explosions rang out, gradually shifting from the eastern hill outside the city to the western hill outside the city.
Taishan and Ningyuan, the big gas lights illuminate the surrounding waters to prevent the Jiaozhi people from driving ships to sneak attack.
But such a move, in the eyes of the frightened Jiaozhi people, seems so arrogant and domineering.
Su You slept on the seat for an hour, and Chao Buzhi came to report: "Shaobao, a small boat is coming." ”
Su You opened his eyes: "It's dawn?" ”
Chao Buzhi nodded: "Mao is correct, it should be an envoy of the Li Dynasty." ”
Su You said: "Then change my court clothes." ”
Changing into a purple robe and putting on a hat, Su You got out of the cabin and came to the platform on the roof of the ship.
On the city wall of Thang Long in the distance, the earthy yellow color that used to be the same color has now been added to countless mottled and ugly black shadows.
In several places in the city, there was still black smoke.
I didn't see the fire, thanks to the heavy rain yesterday.
Su You asked Sun Neng, "Is the water rising?" ”
Sun Neng nodded: "It's up ten centimeters." ”
The boat sailed closer, and Le Van Thanh was even more in awe of the two giant ships.
The pitch-black hull was open with countless small windows, each with a round iron pipe, facing the direction of Thang Long City.
The height of the bow of the ship is three zhang, which is already the height of the walls of Thang Long City!
The length has reached more than 30 zhang, and it is not a problem to carry thousands of people at a time!
The anchor hole in the bow of the ship is connected with an iron chain! An iron chain made of iron rings with the thickness of an arm!
The cost of this anchor alone is 800 catties of fine iron!
This is the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty?
On a horizontal stand at the waist of the boat, a rectangular ladder cage was shaken down, and Wu Kui opened the cage door: "Envoy, please." ”
Seeing that Li Wensheng was a little hesitant, Wu Kui stepped in first: "Come on, Shaobao is waiting for you on the ship." ”
Only then did Li Wensheng collect his thoughts: "Thank you." ”
The ladder cage went up, and it was steady all the way.
Le Van Thanh felt as if he was sticking to the wall of a city, rising towards the tower.
When he came to the deck, Li Wensheng was even more trance-like.
The various facilities on the deck are very compact, and their width is no less than that of a section of the city wall, and there are even more ballistas on the wall than on the ordinary city wall.
There are also several dinghys, various copper horns, pulleys, rigging......
The most terrifying thing is the seven high masts, although the giant sail has been lowered, but the length of the four zhang cross truss is enough to show how majestic the giant sail is after it is opened.
The undignified body search had already been done before boarding the boat, so it was not repeated here, and Le Van Thanh secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
A young man who looked like a scribe came down from the ship's building, and Li Wensheng hurriedly bowed down: "The king of Jiaozhi County talked about Li Wensheng and asked to see the young protector of the country." ”
The young man nodded: "I am Chao Buzhi, the head secretary of the Shaobao shogunate, and Shaobao is already waiting for the waiter to speak, please come with me." ”
Li Wensheng was only in his twenties, and he stood out from the three examinations and became a lecturer to Li Qiande to teach righteousness, thinking that he was already a young man, but he did not expect that this young man was much younger than himself, and he had already held such an important position, and he couldn't help but show surprise on his face.
When I came to the top of the shipbuilding, I saw a young purple-robed official sitting on a high-backed chair in the middle.
On the left is a beautiful young woman, dressed in a swordsman's suit, with a long sword hanging from her waist, a small leather bag, and a silver seal.
On the right side is also a young man in a brocade robe, dressed a little strangely, with a gorgeous brocade robe on his upper body, but with bare legs below, stepping on clogs, and two long knives on his waist, one long and one short.
Li Wensheng was in a trance, and even a little ashamed.
Any of his own resume and pride, in front of this person, it is nothing.
Li Wensheng was dressed in white, and he bowed down elegantly: "Xiabang Small County, the king of Jiaozhi County will talk about Li Wensheng and meet Lord Shaobao of Shangguo." ”
Su You got up and helped him up: "I have long admired the name of Li Shi, three Kejie, this is the champion of Jiaozhi in person." ”
Li Wensheng didn't even dare to say it.
Su You invited Li Wensheng to sit on the side and asked: "The two countries are fighting each other, and the arrow is ready to fly, Su You has to do it, what is the loss in the city?" I gave the people in the city time to leave the city, so I shouldn't have lost many lives, right? ”
Li Wensheng sighed: "Fortunately, there was a heavy rain, and the Thang Long Mansion is still complete, but the Dragon Temple, the paper cloth shop, and the Inner Palace, the loss is not small, the people...... More than 800 people were killed and wounded. ”
Su You said: "When everything is done, we will give relief, and we will not let the people be displaced." ”
Li Wensheng said: "I don't know how the Shaobao is chartered, please give me instructions." ”
