Chapter 171: Shelling
The sound of boiling water came from the darkness, and the flow was endless, endless, without any abnormality. But Li Qiong, who has been fighting horses for many years, feels great uneasiness and fear.
"You guys, go over and take a look. Let's see if there's anything unusual on the river."
A few Jin soldiers hurriedly got into a small boat, and before they rowed out, there was a noise of people in front of them, and then the fire was lit up, and countless boats rowed forward.
"Enemy ...... Attack!"
The golden soldiers on the shore and on the boat all stopped, one by one dumbfounded, and looked towards the river.
By the time Li Qiong and the Jin soldiers reacted, countless ships had already caught his eye.
"What happened to the birds, is this the ship there?"
"I can't see it clearly, it seems to be the flag of the Song Army......"
The ships instantly covered the entire river, and under the light of the fire, the black muzzles of the black holes on the side of the ship were aimed at Jin Bing's ships, and the gunners on the ship were nervously loading their ammunition in an orderly manner.
"Hide, it's the Song Army's ship!"
"Quick, row the boat ahead!"
Li Qiong reacted, his heart was pounding, he hid behind the strings of a warship, and commanded the golden soldiers who were messing around on each ship.
The panicked golden soldiers had not finished hiding, the cannon sound of "Peng Peng Peng" continued one after another, and puffs of white smoke rose from the opposite boat, and countless iron bullets tore through the air, spewing out from the muzzles of the cannons, heading straight for the golden ships on the river.
The Yangtze Bridge ferry at night, although it is shrouded in night, can still be seen clearly. The iron ball roared, and countless golden soldiers, like grass that was wantonly destroyed under the storm, were smashed and planted.
Countless golden soldiers screamed and fell on the deck and on the shore. Wealth, food, and severed limbs were scattered everywhere, and blood stained everywhere.
"Reload and refire!"
Seeing the chaos on Jin Bing's boat, Jin Bing panicked, completely lost his mind, and didn't even form a counterattack, Li Bao shouted loudly and angrily.
Hundreds of cannons opened fire together, and the cannonballs rushed towards the golden man's ship. Some small boats, under the cover of artillery, rowed desperately towards the golden ships.
The fire shone brightly on the river, and the boats of the Loyal Righteous Army soon approached each other. The Jin soldiers on the big ship reacted, they fired arrows in unison, and Song soldiers on the sampan kept falling.
"Blow up these shit!"
Countless smoke-shaking thunderbolts were thrown onto Jin Bing's ship, the flames flashed, the smoke column rose, the Jin soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the counterattack that had just been organized was instantly defeated.
The Jin soldiers were in confusion and fled backwards with their lives, and the ships of the Loyal and Righteous Army rowed around the Jin Soldiers' ships, and countless iron hooks were thrown out, hanging up the opponent's big boat, and the soldiers of the Loyal and Righteous Army boarded the ships one after another.
"Throw the earth-shattering thunder!"
As the roars of the officers sounded, the earth-shattering thunders emitting green smoke fell on the other ships of the Jin people and on the shore, enveloping the elite soldiers who were desperately resisting.
Several earth-shattering thunderbolts detonated the gunpowder on a golden ship, causing the ship to crackle and burn violently, and a huge fire burst into the sky, lighting up the entire night sky.
Under the light of the fire, the soldiers of the loyal and righteous army desperately threw out the earth-shattering thunder, and columns of smoke rose in all directions, and countless golden soldiers fell in pools of blood with wails.
The golden soldiers on the riverbank suffered heavy casualties, and they let out a terrible scream and ran towards the boundless darkness in the distance.
The cannonballs hit the side of the ship, the wood chips flew everywhere, and the golden soldiers who could not escape were hit by the pond fish, or were hit by iron bullets, or stabbed by wooden blocks, screaming again and again. Seeing that the other party's soldiers boarded the warship like a tide, the Jin soldiers who were lucky enough to survive threw away their weapons one after another and knelt down on the deck.
Countless golden soldiers were stabbed on the boat, countless golden soldiers panicked and jumped directly into the river, and many were stabbed to death in the water by the opponent's spears. The Jin Soldier Brigade could no longer support it and began to scatter and flee to the shore.
"Quickly clear out the remnants of the enemy! Give me a bang!"
Under the firelight, seeing the Jin Bingshe ship landing on the shore and desperately rushing towards the south city gate, Li Bao's voice became louder again.
These guys are also smart, knowing that if they escape into the city, the opponent's artillery will be overwhelmed.
Dozens of artillery pieces were reoriented and aimed at the south gate of the city. The gunners scrambled to reload their ammunition, and the roar of the guns rang out again.
After the first round of fighting, there was no time to observe the battle situation, and the second round of loading and shelling began again. Immediately after, countless grenadiers chased after him.
Everywhere there were fleeing golden soldiers, everywhere there was the sound of artillery bombardment, everywhere there was the sound of explosions that shook the sky and thunder.
"Light up the torches and mount the artillery to prevent the Jin soldiers from counterattacking. Pursue the remnants of the enemy, and don't let the golden soldiers gather!"
The officers' worries were unfounded. The Jin soldiers were caught off guard, and they were attacked by the other party in the dark night, and they were already scattered, and it was too late to escape, so how could they want to come back and counterattack.
"This is the Loyal Army, it's really powerful!"
The recruits on the ship watched with horror and fascination.
"What to see, take your weapons, follow the veterans, and pursue the thieves together!"
The generals shouted loudly, and the recruits reacted. They followed behind the veterans and officers, plucked up their courage and joined the pursuing warbands.
Chen Ping was caught in a group of Song soldiers, armed with torches, and pursued the fleeing Jin soldiers.
The weapons on the ground were thrown everywhere, Chen Ping threw aside the short knife in his hand, picked up a heavy, wet spear from the ground, wiped it on his clothes, and ran towards the wilderness on the shore.
In the wilderness, fleeing golden soldiers were everywhere. From time to time, the Jin soldiers turned back and slashed with the Song soldiers, and the two sides suffered casualties on both sides, but the Jin soldiers suffered many casualties.
A Jin general and a Song soldier fought together, and the two sides went back and forth, sacrificing their lives to fight, even if they were protected by armor, they had a few more scars on themselves.
Song Bing was careless at his feet, tripped over the corpse on the ground and fell to the ground, and the person also fell heavily to the ground, and General Jin took the opportunity to step forward and cut it down with a knife.
Can't dodge, hurt the bones, blood flew, Song Bing screamed, and blood on his calf suddenly came out. General Jin stepped forward and stabbed again, heading straight for Song Bing's neck.
Chen Ping shouted, like thunder, a shot stabbed out, and went straight to the door of the golden general.
General Jin was taken aback, and in desperation, the long knife went up, wanting to swing Chen Ping's spear. Who knew that Chen Ping's speed was extremely fast and his strength was extremely great, and the spear pierced half of the golden general's cheek at once.
Kim will be in pain, turn around and flee backwards. Chen Ping ran a few steps, and the spear suddenly sent forward, and in the darkness, there was a gust of wind, which suddenly penetrated the back of the golden general's heart.
General Jin's screams rang out, Chen Ping drew his spear, and General Jin's body fell heavily to the ground and never got up again.
Chen Ping's expression was calm, and he stepped forward and stabbed General Jin several times in a few shots, before turning around and checking the injuries of Song Bing on the ground.
"Brother, I can't imagine that you are a new soldier, and you have some means in your hands. Don't worry, as long as you follow the loyal army, there will be gold thieves to kill in the future. ”
Chen Ping's eyes were blood-red, and he nodded, "Thank you, brother." I'll help you to the shore or to the boat first, and hand you over to the military doctor. I'll come back and continue to kill the gold thief!"
The wooden plank was put up, and Li Bao strode up, the soles of his feet were covered with blood, and it was uncomfortable to walk with sticky.
On the Jin Bing's ship, the soldiers were piling up the corpses of the Jin soldiers on the bow of the ship, and the deck was also full of blood.
"Move all the corpses of the golden soldiers to the shore, and bury them all at dawn, so as not to cause epidemics!"
Before Li Bao could finish speaking, the soldier next to him shouted loudly.
"General, look, the golden soldiers in the city have run out!"
At the gate of the south city of Yangzhou, countless Jin soldiers threw away their armor and poured out of the city gate in a panic, colliding with the Jin soldiers who wanted to escape into the city.
Behind the Jin soldiers who fled outside the city, there were constantly pillars of smoke rising, and the explosions of "Tongtong" did not stop, and the backward Jin soldiers screamed and fell into the smoke.
"Don't panic, run along the moat to both sides, don't let the Song soldiers attack on both sides, and catch turtles in the urn!"
The golden soldiers made a loud noise and ran along the city gate to the east and west.
"Cai Wu is good, but he is calm!"
Li Bao said in a deep voice: "Li Zhuang, you take two battalions of brothers, answer Cai Wu and others, attack from both sides, and solve the golden soldiers at the city gate first!"
The battle was fought like this, and it was basically the end. The reason why they wanted to exterminate all these golden soldiers was because they were worried that after the loyal and righteous army left, they would come back and continue to do evil.
"General, fortunately, the brothers went in time, otherwise Yangzhou City would have been really burned by these dog thieves!"
Cai Wu was covered in blood, and there were still blood beads dripping from the long knife, and under the light of the fire, it was like a killing god.
Li Bao nodded. Fortunately, it was timely, otherwise, Yangzhou City would have been burned again.
"General, annihilated more than 2,000 gold soldiers, captured more than 500 people, 16 grain ships, 2 of which were gold, silver, jewelry, and money, 35 warships, of which 19 were sea ships, and the rest of the sand ships were all wealth and sundries. This time it was a great one!"
Huang Feihu stepped forward to report, his face was full of joy.
"Dutong, lost more than 200 brothers. From the mouth of the captive, it was learned that the weather was getting hotter, and the Jin navy had withdrawn to Jiaoxi. We can rest assured that we can go to Quanzhou. ”
In the dark night, Li Qiong led a group of subordinates and ran in the wilderness. He was completely wet, his armor and helmet had been lost, and he didn't know how many falls he had fallen, how many injuries he had suffered, he just ran forward, in a panic.
There are fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and from time to time someone is killed by the Song soldiers who catch up, and from time to time someone falls down and can't get up again. In the end, Li Qiong was left alone, and he fell heavily to the ground and could not get up again.
Li Qiong was exhausted, and the last trace of strength was drained from her body, and she gasped for breath like a bellows, and there was no place in her body that was not hot and painful.
After a long time, he sat up, groped against a tree, and looked in the direction of the Yangtze Bridge ferry.
The burning flame has been extinguished, and in its place are tall mast lights. The earth-shattering sound of the battle had also disappeared, and it seemed that this not too fierce battle was over.
"It's all over! It's all over!"
Li Qiong's eyes were dull, her face was pale, and she muttered to herself. Until now, he hadn't figured out which man had attacked him.
"The straight lady thief, the soldier was killed, all the baggage goods were robbed, and the way back was all cut off!"
Li Qiong sat on the ground dejectedly. Pseudo-Qi can't go back, Liu Yu is capricious, cruel and easy to kill, he returned defeated, and he won't be killed when he goes back.
So, where can I go?
Li Qiong narrowed her eyes, her heart was full of thoughts, and she began to think about the way back in the future.
"The straight lady thief, even forced Lao Tzu to have no way out, it's a big deal to fall into the grass, anyway, up and down the canal, there are thieves everywhere!"
Li Qiong stood up, spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, carefully identified the direction in the dark night, and walked west with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
