13. Fierce Tides
Time, as if standing still.
Time passes by minute by minute.
Dingyuan's fleet was facing the wind, and the forward troops at the forefront had already reached the shore.
Even, the non-commissioned officers on the ship could already see the hideous faces of the officers and soldiers on the shore because of apprehension and terror.
"Chief, the water in front is shallow, and we can't pass the boat!"
"Chief, our artillery can't hit the shore!"
On the ship, one after another pro-soldiers ran over to report. However, these were all expected by Zhu Wu.
Wars are never fought according to anyone's wishes.
"Tell Chang Yuchun that the first battle of the landing will depend on him!"
"Ready!"
The officers and soldiers on the shore were in full array, and their strong bows and crossbows were aimed at the slowly approaching warships.
Chang Yuchun was at the front, on the first small boat, the cold river breeze could not dissipate the heat in his heart, and his warm eyes had a bloodthirsty look.
"Get off the boat and wade over!"
With a tiger roar, Chang Yuchun held a shield in his left hand and a Ge in his right hand, and jumped into the cold and biting river water first.
"Brothers, follow me!"
Whoa~
The river under his feet was unusually heavy, and the coldness that pierced his heart made people grit their teeth.
However, none of the strong men on the ship hesitated, following behind the main general, and on the waist-deep river, waves bloomed.
The barbarian Hague supervised the battle in front of the official army, and countless black spots in his sight struggled to move forward in the water.
"Shoot these thieves with arrows!"
In the blink of an eye, above the heads of the Dingyuan army advancing in the water, the overwhelming bows and arrows roared like locusts.
In the whistling sound, in addition to bows and arrows, there were also bowl-thick beds, and deadly stone cannons.
Yes!!
When the rain of arrows fell, countless screams sounded on the surface of the river, and in just an instant, the muddy river turned red.
"Pull me along!"
The heavy iron armor became a burden at this moment, and many wounded soldiers fell in the river, trying to struggle to get up.
"Onward!"
Chang Yuchun's shield was full of arrows, advancing through the water with all his might, shouting loudly for his brothers and sisters who were trapped in the camp.
There is no return to the camp, there is no enemy and no self, and on the first day of its establishment, the soldiers who entered the camp were outlaws like Chang Yuchun.
"Shoot again, don't stop!"
The barbarian Hague guided the archers in front of the battle, and the fierce rain of arrows struck again.
Heaven and earth are still the same heaven and earth, but the world is no longer the world.
On the boat, Zhu had five expressions, but the corners of his eyes twitched from time to time. He is not yet a qualified manager, and he cannot watch the soldiers be killed like wheat and be indifferent.
"Let Liao Yongzhong's people hurry up and go up from the side!"
The Dingyuan army landed in two ways, with Chang Yuchun as the main and Liao Yongzhong as the deputy. At this moment, the enemy's firepower was all attracted by the first wave of soldiers, and Liao Yongzhong in the second wave was the key to the landing.
"An inexhaustible thief!"
The barbarian Hague pointed to the most frontal group of soldiers on the water, and shouted frantically, "Shoot them, shoot!" ”
Bang! Rumble!
The bow and arrow arm of the officer and soldier were sore, and before he could draw the bow, he could only hear a loud sound from nowhere.
Then, as far as the naked eye could see, a smoking iron lump smashed into a deep pit on the riverbank.
"Come again!"
Among the Dingyuan warships, several warships equipped with small cannons deliberately ran aground in shallow water, and the gunners on the ship, regardless of whether they could hit or not, loaded and fired.
At this moment, Chang Yuchun took the soldiers to advance a few more steps, and the hands and feet around him kept falling, and the river went from waist to calf.
Bang!
Another shell, which fell on the river beach.
Yes!
One of Chang Yuchun's brothers fell screaming, and his iron armor was also filled with dense arrowheads.
"Kill!"
There was another tiger roar, and the commander of the trapped camp stepped on the soft river bank under the gaze of tens of thousands of soldiers, and had already killed it.
The reason why the tigers are tigers is because they have only one thought, to bite the enemy and eat it.
"Drive them down the river!"
The barbarians in The Hague urged the soldiers to fight like madmen, but the south has been alive for a long time, and these local local armed forces, where there is a river bank, those men who have been hungry since childhood dare to fight.
I finally stepped on the hard ground under my feet, and I often laughed and rushed like a spring devil. Behind him are the brothers, who sacrificed their lives to follow him.
His hideous face fell in the eyes of an officer and soldier on the shore, and he was timid, and the spear in his hand stabbed forward indiscriminately.
But if he pulled it back, he couldn't pull it, and the spear was grabbed by Chang Yuchun, who was covered in blood and had a murderous face.
"Come here!"
"Ahh
In the exclamation, the soldiers of the official army were dragged over by Chang Yuchun.
Then, the short cut was made. The huge head fell to the ground, and in front of the two armies, Chang Yuchun carried the enemy's head in his hand.
"Keep up with the Commander!" The brothers in the camp in the water have a great morale boost.
"Up!"
Zhu Wu laughed loudly on the boat, "Let all the departments hurry up, it is difficult to succeed in the spring of his work, is there no capable person among my Zhu Wu's old brothers?" ”
It's just an ordinary agitation method, and among the pro-soldiers behind Zhu Wu, some people immediately couldn't stand.
"Boss, please let the general go to the front line!"
Fu Youde, this handsome young man with a long body, his face was full of determination.
"Good!" Zhu Wu nodded, "You go up too, the armies will break the quarry with me!" ”
On the shore, I often meet the soldiers of the spring and the trapped camp, and they are nailed there, just like Mingden in the dark night, guiding the direction.
Looking down from the sky, at first they were just a stone rolling forward, but gradually, more and more stone characters converged, and the stone became a boulder, and the rolling turned into a crush.
On the river, more soldiers jumped from their sins, as well as mules and horses carrying small cannons.
~~
The same early morning, Haozhou, barracks.
"Brother, you're all ready, you can get out of the city at any time!"
Zhu Chongba's steps were extremely fast, and he was wearing the buttons of the iron armor on his body as he walked.
Xu Da was beside him, and he was faintly trotting to keep up with him.
"Let the military quarters be open to release food, let the brothers let go of food, and only when they are full of food and drink can they have the strength to cut people!"
"This~~" Xu Da hesitated slightly, "Brother, there won't be much food left when you open up to eat!" ”
Zhu Chongba suddenly stopped, looked at Xu Da and said with a smile, "Brother, anyway, I'll order food, let the brothers, be a full ghost even if you die!" As he spoke, he pressed Xu Da's shoulders and said, "Tiande, our brothers, there is no way out!" ”
"I got it!" Xu Da nodded heavily.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The battle was drumming in the camp, and the soldiers who had not eaten and drunk for a long time were enjoying the warmth of being fed. Hearing the sound of drums, the soldiers were stunned for a moment, then grabbed their weapons and ran outside.
General Manager Zhu's military orders are strict, and the three drums can't be made, so he will be decided! Whether it is an officer or a soldier.
Standing on the platform of the generals, the footsteps of the audience roared, and countless people were crowded, whether it was the remaining veterans in Haozhou, or the expanding homeless people, or the annexed Xuzhou army.
They were all looking at the majestic figure on the stage with a nervous and nervous look.
Zhu Chongba's eyes were like knives, sweeping over the bodies of the soldiers, and their uneasiness was in full view.
This is the first time that his Haozhou army of Zhu Chongba has gone out.
He needs this victory to tell the world that there is still a number one person like him in Huaixi.
He needed this victory to get the Haozhou army out of the shadow of defeat.
He needs this victory, to tell someone that Lao Tzu is no worse than you!
Little Five!
Just the day before yesterday, the messenger of Hezhou sent a letter from Kuaima, and a handwritten letter from Zhu Wu, the governor of Hezhou.
Little Five, it's time to hit the other side of the river!
Xiao Wu is no longer willing to go around in the land of Huaixi!
Little Five, to show his fangs to the world.
Thinking of this, Zhu Chongba's face showed a meaningful smile and clenched his fists.
"Brother, brother won't let you fall!"
There was silence on the school grounds, and everyone was waiting for the manager's orders.
"Let's not talk nonsense!"
Zhu Chongba's loud voice sounded, "Brothers, we have no food to eat!" ”
"If you don't have food to eat, you have to starve, you all know what it's like to starve, and a man with iron can't be hungry for more than three days."
"Do you want to starve to death like your relatives and fellow villagers?"
In the audience, the soldiers looked a little flustered, what should I do if there is no food? Everyone's faces turned heavy, as if remembering the fear of being dominated by hunger.
Zhu Chong's voice was tired, "Do you want to starve to death?" Speak! ”
Xu Da, Tang He, Zhou Dexing, Fei Ju and other partners of the township party raised their arms and shouted.
"How can a man starve to death!"
"Let's tell you where the food is!"
Zhu Chongba's eyes seemed to be staring at everyone, "There is food in Anfeng City, and there is food that can keep us alive!" ”
Xu Da and others led the soldiers to shout, "Fight Anfeng, fight Anfeng!" ”
Zhu Chongba waved his hand violently, and his voice suddenly stopped.
"Lay down Anfeng, the rich women are at your disposal, gold, silver, copper coins, grain, women, all are yours!"
said, suddenly roared, "Follow us Chongba, rob his mother!" ”
"Heavy eight! Heavy eight! Heavy eight! ”
The soldiers were so stimulated by the great temptation that they screamed, and the beastly nature in their bones was completely stimulated.
"Get out!"
~~~
The army poured out of the camp gate like a torrent, and Zhu Chongba also jumped on his horse.
With a casual glance, I found two boys, walking one after the other with small faces.
In the front is a nephew, and in the back is a nephew.
Zhu Wenzheng was wearing a broken leather armor that he had changed out of nowhere, and he was carrying a broken knife on his back.
Bao'er looked a little nervous, but he followed closely behind his cousin's ass.
"What are you two doing?"
Zhu Wenzheng was standing in front of Zhu Chongba's horse, with the stubbornness unique to the Zhu family on his face.
"Uncle, let's go with you!"
"Go back,! This is a war, you little body, you lie down with a knife! ”
Zhu Wenzheng pursed his lips tightly, "Then I'll cut the enemy with one knife first!" ”
"I~~ I'll cut it with my cousin!"
Zhu Chongba's face suddenly became gentle, and he said softly, "Babies, go back and be obedient!" ”
"No!" Zhu Wenzheng shouted loudly, and the uncle's eyes met, "This is the battle of our Zhu family, and I am also the seed of the Zhu family!" ”
"Huh? Hahaha~~~~! ”
Zhu Chongba suddenly laughed out loud, bent over with laughter on the horse, and laughed so much that even tears fell.
"Good! It is worthy of being the baby of our old Zhu family, like us! Zhu Chongba threw his waist knife to his nephew, "Go, follow, follow uncle, kill people!" ”
