Chapter 402: Tears
Compared with warships of the same tonnage, dragon ships have an absolute advantage in terms of protection, mobility and attack power. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Li Heng's fleet is all warships below a thousand stones, although the number is superior, but under the attack of the dragon ship, it is simply powerless, and it is quickly defeated with the help of gunboats.
This battle can be said to be fought vigorously, but Chen Renweng felt unwilling, just when he led the dragon boat to fight with the enemy ship in front of the village, more than a dozen enemy ships took advantage of the rising tide to forcibly break through, and they did not hesitate to crash and destroy two smaller rocket ships at the expense of the front ship to break out of the encirclement. He suspected that there was a general ship of the enemy's commander, but His Majesty had ordered that as long as the enemy army was severely damaged and the enemy was deprived of the ability to continue the attack, it was strictly forbidden to pursue the scattered enemy ships that escaped without authorization, thus depriving him of the opportunity to capture the enemy leader and perform a miraculous feat.
After that, Chen Renweng led the dragon boat against the current to detour from the west to the enemy's rear, of course, let him break through the enemy's main fleet with twenty dragon boats to intercept it, which was impossible to do, and this is what he admired His Majesty. The western part of the confrontation between the two armies is Tangzhuizai Mountain, opposite the strange rock in the east. As the name suggests, the topography is like a pot-bellied bottle, forming a bay where the 'belly' is retracted upwards, but the water depth is shallow due to the siltation of the sediment, which not only does it not serve as a harbor for boats, but even people walking on the shore will fall into the mud.
But His Majesty is very human, and after fishing for crabs and shrimp for a few days, he found out the hydrology there, and found that the bay, which is regarded by others as a forbidden place for boating, can reach a depth of five zhang at high tide, and can be five zhang at high tide, while the dragon boat can pass through with its good seaworthiness only by a few zhang of water depth. Chen Renweng took advantage of this 'Jedi', which was undefended by the two armies, and successfully detoured to the rear of the enemy fleet at the moment when the two armies were in the midst of fierce fighting......
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty ordered us to attack the five enemy ships in the camp behind the enemy!"
"What?! You read that right! After arriving in place, Chen Renweng couldn't take a break, so he ordered Guantong to report to His Majesty and ask for instructions on what to do next. With what he saw that the two armies were fighting fiercely now, he could just use the tide to launch an attack from behind and stab Zhang Hongfan in the back of the heart, but Guan Tongshou actually told him that His Majesty asked him to attack those few baggage ships outside the battle circle, wouldn't it be overkill, he grabbed Guan Tong's shirt and shouted.
"Commander, I thought I was wrong at the time, and I checked with the handsome ship, and the order is indeed so!" Guantong's hands are all small and delicate, and the sergeants with flexible hands and feet are in charge, and Chen Renweng lifted his feet without touching the ground with a red face and a thick neck, and explained with a big pant.
"Go check again, if it's wrong, I'll split you with my own hands!" Chen Renweng still refused to believe that His Majesty would give him such an outrageous task, so he gave up such a good opportunity and position to attack, and shouted into Guantong's ear.
"Commander Chen, he is not mistaken, His Majesty's order is indeed so!" At this time, Lin Zhiwu stepped forward to stop him, he was ordered to board the ship before the war.
"Senator Lin, how do you know?" Chen Renweng put down Guantong's hand, twisted his face and asked suspiciously.
"Commander Chen, do you know who is on that ship?" Lin Zhiwu asked.
"Could it be Zhang Hongfan? But his handsome ship is ahead! "Except for Zhang Hongfan, Chen Renweng really can't think of any big man who would make His Majesty give up such a good fighter plane and use twenty dragon ships to 'kill' a person.
"Your Majesty's Command!" Lin Zhiwu smiled and said.
"Chen Renweng, the commander of the subordinate Destroying Front Army, listens!" Chen Renweng was shocked again, His Majesty had never given such an order to himself in the situation of a holy oracle, it was obvious that this matter was important, and he hurriedly saluted.
"Xinguo Gongwen Tianxiang is loyal to the country, and has made great contributions, and now unfortunately he has fallen into the hands of the enemy, you must bring it back safely, if there is any damage to the army!" Lin Zhiwu said solemnly.
"If your subordinates obey the order, you will not fail in your mission!" Chen Renweng saluted again.
"Senator Lin, Wen Xiang is actually in the enemy army, did you already know about it?" After Chen Renweng received the order, there were waves in his heart again, His Majesty actually did not hesitate to use nearly 5,000 elite troops in order to save one person, but it was really a bloody investment, and it also showed that he attached great importance to it.
"After Wen Xiang was captured, His Majesty tried to rescue him, but the enemy army was tightly guarded and difficult to get his hands on, and he has been tracking it all the way, but I only learned about this matter the day before yesterday that Wen Xiang was in Zhang Hongfan's army." Lin Zhiwu said with a smile.
"Alas, Your Majesty's scheming is beyond our reach!" Chen Renweng sighed and said, Your Majesty was able to bury such a big event in his heart at a young age and not confide in anyone, and he didn't know it until he was in front of him, which shows the depth of his scheming.
Many people in the DPRK were dissatisfied with Wen Xiang and did not like his return to the court, and even wanted to kill Wen Xiang by the enemy. And Your Majesty also has nails around him, if the news is revealed, it will be irretrievable! Lin Zhiwu explained.
"Senator Lin, I don't mean to resent Your Majesty, but I admire Your Majesty's profound planning and far-sightedness, but I don't mean it!" Chen Renweng hurriedly waved his hand, not wanting to be misunderstood about his original intentions.
"Well, in that case, I won't say more." His Majesty was afraid that Chen Renweng would be impulsive and refused to obey the order, so he let himself go on the ship to supervise, it seems that His Majesty is right again, "Chen Zhi, Wen Xiang is imprisoned on that ship with a white flag, tightly guarded, we must take action on the premise of ensuring its safety." ā
"Well, I know...... Your Majesty has done it like this, and of course Chen Renweng also knows the importance of the matter, and his mind is even thinking about a complete strategy......
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
The clouds on the sea are low, the wind and waves are high, Wen Tianxiang is looking at the battlefield from afar through the small porthole of the prisoner ship, although he can't see the flesh and blood flying, but he can see the fire of war rising in the sea, smell the smell of gunsmoke, and hear the sound of drums and trumpets and the earth-shattering killing sound in the distance. But he was no longer able to serve the country, all he could do was pray secretly in his heart, hoping that a miracle would fall from the sky, and the Song army would be able to fight back and turn defeat into victory, but the hope was so slim.
However, what Wen Tianxiang saw in his eyes was that Song Ying was shrinking little by little, and the last strength was exhausted again. He couldn't help but think of Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms and the dispute between Chu and Han, the war was inevitably won or lost, the defeat of one side was the victory of the other, the defeat of the Zhao people was the victory of the Qin people, and the defeat of Xiang Yu was the victory of Liu Bang. Today, Zhang Shijie's defeat is Zhang Hongfan's victory, the losing side is wrapped in wounds and cries, which does not prevent the victorious side from being happy, and the end of the Great Song Dynasty is in front, thinking that he can only watch the country he is loyal to is dying, but he can't do anything, and his tears can't help but wet his clothes again......
"Wen Xiang, Wen Xiang ......" Wen Tianxiang suddenly heard a burst of shouts, which were also mixed with the impact of weapons and miserable screams, which seemed to be very close to him, he hurriedly threw himself down in front of the door and looked out through the large window of the bowl, but the narrow window allowed him to only see the place of Yingqi, unable to judge the situation outside, and did not dare to respond.
"The enemy soldiers are on board, kill the rebels!" This voice outside the cabin is very familiar, it is the shout of the Tartar guarding him, Wen Tianxiang was shocked when he heard it, could it be that the Song army had broken through the siege and boarded the enemy ship to rescue himself?
"Impossible!" Wen Tianxiang quickly denied his idea, what he saw just now was that the Ming Yuan army had surrounded the Song army's water village, and it was impossible for a boat to break through, this must be the Tartar playing tricks on himself again, he muttered with a gloomy face.
Since his capture, the enemy's methods of persuasion to surrender have been useless, including the temptation of high-ranking officials, alarmist intimidation, and endless humiliation and coercion, but he has never given in, either coldly or sternly refused. At present, the war is urgent, the death of the Great Song Dynasty is imminent, those guards must be using tricks to tease him for fun, thinking of this, he returned to the front of the case and sat down, ignoring the noise outside.
'Bang! ā
"Master Wen, I'm sorry!" The closed hatch was suddenly opened, and a Mongolian guard with a sharp blade forced into his stilted Chinese.
"Hmph, kill and kill, why bother!" Wen Tianxiang looked at the Mongolian soldiers who were hurrying up and snorted coldly.
'Hey! The Mongol soldier didn't mean to talk to him, and with a low roar, he slashed down.
"Alas, relieved!" No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a joke, Wen Tianxiang closed his eyes and said secretly, his expression completely relaxed.
"Is it Wenxiang?"
"Oh, exactly, who are you?" Wen Tianxiang, who was ready to die, did not wait for the pleasure of slashing his neck with a knife, but he heard someone shouting, he opened his eyes and saw that the guard wielding the knife was still standing there with a sharp blade through his chest and abdomen, his mouth and nose were foaming with blood but he couldn't make a sound, behind him were two men wearing black and gray fish skin and water, their heads and faces were covered in it, only their eyes, mouth and nose were exposed, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, it was one of them who killed the guard, and the other was guarding at the door with his back to him, he nodded.
"Well, that's good!" The vigilant person glanced back at Wen Tianxiang and nodded in confirmation.
"Wen Xiang, I will come to the rescue by His Majesty's order, come out with us!" The man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the hand holding the knife twisted before it was pulled out, and the dead body fell in front of him.
The plot of "Your Majesty ......" changed too quickly, Wen Tianxiang was a little confused, and wanted to find out the current situation, but before he finished speaking, he was already picked up and dragged by the two of them and walked out. Those who did not touch the ground were dragged out of their cells, and in the midst of the panic saw several other people in the corridor, either with sharp blades or short crossbows, and on the ground lay those who guarded them.
"Success, retreat!" The man in black made a strange gesture and roared, and then a whistle sounded, and the men quickly gathered and took cover to quickly rush down the gangway.
"Let go of me, let go of me!" Although the situation in front of him made Wen Tianxiang confirm that he had been rescued, their words still made him unable to believe it, His Majesty was just a child, and he was a pro-government, how could he order to save him, it was very likely that he was held hostage by someone with ulterior motives. Thinking of this, he couldn't stop struggling, but those people were so strong that they couldn't get rid of it no matter what, so they could only be dragged along.
"Wen Xiang, offended!"
"What are you going to do......" dragged and dragged, turned left and right, and there were people constantly joining on the way, of course, it was inevitable to fight with the enemy soldiers who blocked it, Wen Tianxiang was already on the deck when he stopped, there were more than 20 people in the same dress gathered here, they put up shields to surround themselves in the core, some people were shooting the enemy soldiers who caught up with their bows and crossbows, and they were put on an unknown thing, and before they finished speaking, they were picked up and jumped into the sea, and the others also threw down their weapons and jumped into the water.
'Poof...... Ahem! Wen Tianxiang fell into the water and sank for a while, then he felt that he was lifted out of the water by a strong force, he spit out the sea water in his mouth, but he was agitated by the cold seawater, and he still couldn't help coughing. He was even more surprised by the situation in front of him, but he saw several strangely shaped warships spewing smoke and quickly approaching him, and they continued to pour dense rain of arrows onto the enemy ships as they went, blocking the enemy soldiers on the enemy ships and covering their retreat.
"Am I really rescued?" Wen Tianxiang was dragged by those black-clothed men and walked towards the ushering warship, and when he was pulled into the cabin, he muttered when he saw those smiling people who were smiling and called Wen Xiang.
"Chen Renweng, commander of the Xiaguan Xing Battalion Protector Army, Destroying the Front Army, see Wen Xiang!" At this time, an officer stepped forward to salute.
"Are you really the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty?" Wen Tianxiang looked at the people in front of him and said with some disbelief.
"Exactly, Your Majesty heard that Wen Xiang was imprisoned on the enemy ship, and specially ordered the lower officials and others to come to the rescue, fortunately not dishonoring the mission!" Chen Renweng saluted again.
"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother still remember the ...... of the guilty ministers" The situation in front of him made Wen Tianxiang finally believe that he was rescued, and he was rescued by Song Jun, and he couldn't help but choke and couldn't say it anymore, but this was tears of excitement, and the placket of his clothes had already been soaked, so as not to get wet again.
"Your Majesty was very relieved to learn that Wen Xiang had been rescued! Please also ask Wen Xiang to change his clothes and rest, and then visit His Majesty when the war is over! Lin Zhiwu saw that Wen Tianxiang was dressed in wet clothes, and it was not easy to explain that he was frozen again on this cold day, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"The guilty minister is ashamed of His Majesty's holy grace!" Wen Tianxiang saluted in the direction of the imperial camp before going to change clothes.
"Eh, I can finally give an account to Your Majesty!" Chen Renweng watched his shoulders shrug and leave, he must have not recovered from the excitement of being rescued, but he was also relieved, and glanced at Lin Zhiwu and said.
"Your Majesty has an order, ordering our army to quickly end the battle here, and immediately return to help!" His Majesty's order came from Guantong's hand again.
"Tell the ships, attack freely, and send them to the bottom of the sea as fast as possible!" After the big thing was over, naturally there was no need to tie his hands and feet, Chen Renweng immediately gave orders to the dragon boats cruising around several enemy ships, carrying out a diversion battle, and cooperating with the rescue operation. With a command, the nightmare of those enemy ships came, and the dragon ships, which had long been impatient, immediately approached, and everyone wanted to fill their battle flags with two more stars......
